The driver involved in a crash that claimed the life of Kassandra Kaulius two weeks ago should have her licence revoked immediately for two years, the victim’s family said this week.

She spent Mother’s Day selecting the clothes her daughter would be wearing when she was cremated. “I pray to God none of you ever have to experience this,” said Markita, also a victim services worker with the RCMP. “Because, what I thought it was, was 1,000 times worse. Nobody should have

to go through this.” The 34-year-old van driver was given a one-day driving suspension and then three weeks to “get her affairs in order” before she was handed a one-year prohibition from driving by B.C.’s Superintendent of Motor Vehicles. Markita said her daughter didn’t get 21 days to get her affairs in order. “There needs to be consequences if see page 4

Police locate vehicle suspected in crash

Pedestrian killed, driver flees scene A 56-year-old White Rock woman is dead following a hit-and-run Wednesday night. The incident occurred at Johnston Road and Thrift Avenue at around 9:40 p.m., as the woman crossed Johnston with her 28-year-old daughter. At a press conference Thursday afternoon, RCMP Sgt. Peter Thiessen said prior to the incident, the suspect vehicle – a 1992 Nis-

san Maxima – had been flagged to stop by a White Rock RCMP officer who was stopped on Johnston south of Thrift Avenue. The Nissan continued north on Johnston, sideswiping a northbound vehicle before it entered the intersection, hitting and killing the female pedestrian. Her daughter was not struck. Solmaz Sabeti was driving the car that was

sideswiped. Visibly shaken, she told reporters Thursday she saw police lights just before her car was hit. “It was so fast, I was shocked,” said Sabeti, who also witnessed the woman getting hit. RCMP located a suspect vehicle abandoned at 160 Street and King George Boulevard, but had yet to locate the driver as of

Peace Arch News’ deadline Thursday. “We’re confident, we’re very confident, we will secure an arrest in regard to this investigation,” Thiessen said. Witnesses say there was a considerable police presence at the scene Wednesday night, and sirens echoed through the city as RCMP searched for the driver. - Hannah Sutherland

challenge this year, with so many rainy and overcast days. One farm sector that rarely misses a beat due to weather is the burgeoning greenhouse industry. Consumers have already been enjoying hothouse tomatoes and peppers grown in Surrey and other parts of the Lower Mainland, and those will continue to be produced for the rest of the year. Greenhouses used for flowers, ornamental plants and other nursery stock are also in full production. This is a major component of Surrey’s agriculture industry. Backyard gardeners, of whom there are many in Surrey, are watching the weather as anxiously as commercial farmers. Some have planted crops; many have prepared the soil for an onslaught of seeds and plants that is likely to take place in the next two weeks. Weather is often a challenge for agriculture, even in this area with its mild year-round climate. Farmers don’t automatically expect good weather — but they do hope for it, and take full advantage of it when it arrives. We will soon be able to enjoy the fruits of their labour, and purchase their produce at farmers’ markets, roadside stands, produce stores, supermarkets and other locations. It’s one of the best aspects of the summer season. Frank Bucholtz writes Fridays for the Peace Arch News. He is the editor of the Langley Times.

Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Hiebert, who was first elected in the riding in 2004, has latterly served on the House of Commons Finance Committee and the International Human Rights Subcommittee. He has previously been parliamentary secretary to the minister of National Defence, and also served on the standing committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics; and the Conservative Party task force on Safe Streets and Healthy Communities. He continues in roles as chair of the Canadian branch of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association, and as founder and co-chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Border Caucus. Hiebert said that in his latter role he has been heartened by announcements by Harper and US President Barack Obama that there will be greater co-operation in moving goods and people across the border

while still maintaining appropriate security levels for both nations. “You know it’s going to get top priority when both the prime minister and the president of the U.S. are speaking about it,” said Hiebert, who noted that the Pacific Highway border crossing is the largest in the west. Hiebert said that removing obstacles to traffic between the two countries, through such initiatives as the Trusted Traveller and Nexus programs is of crucial economic importance to both. “It’s very important to this community and to the Lower Mainland,” he added. “I think the Americans are beginning to wake up to how important this is. A total of 36 states list Canada as their number one trading partner, and any delay at the border can end up costing thousands of dollars.”

Five injured in collision Five people were taken to hospital Tuesday afternoon after a three-vehicle crash on the Surrey/White Rock border. All three drivers and two passengers were taken to Peace Arch Hospital shortly after 4 p.m. According to police, the crash occurred after a Ford F150 pickup truck travelling eastbound on 10 Avenue (Pacific Avenue) sped without stopping through a stop sign, and collided with a silver Honda Odyssey that was travelling northbound on 160 Street (Stayte Road). A grey Toyota Camry that was travelling southbound on Stayte Road was also impacted. The drivers and passengers were assessed at the scene and taken to hospital with minor injuries, a Surrey RCMP spokesperson said. The driver of the truck – a 59-year-old male Surrey resident – was issued a ticket for failing to obey a stop sign. All three vehicles sustained “severe” damage, police noted. Fragments of tail lights could be seen around 40 feet east of the intersection, and the crash is reported to have been heard from as far as five blocks away.

Practice costs estimated $1 million annually, but auto insurer says fix would be more expensive

ICBC willingly pays double for paint-matching Kevin Diakiw Black Press

ICBC is being double billed for as much as $1 million annually, but fixing the problem, the auto insurer says, would cost more than the loss. Top managers have known about the issue for at least a couple of years. It stems from the cost of paint-matching – the process of mixing the right tints so that the repaired portion of the vehicle will be the same colour as the rest of the vehicle. When the same vehicle racks up multiple claims, the fee for paint matching – at an estimated cost of $100 – is charged again, even though a record of the original paint match already exists. The subsequent paint match fees are then charged to ICBC again, even though the job doesn’t need to be repeated. An estimator with ICBC says the number of claims was 11,000 between September, 2009 and October, 2010 for a total cost of $1.1 million.

Bains said he’s been told by some people ICBC is now saying only 4,200 of those multiple claims were repaired at the same at ICBC that correcting the problem would shop, the remainder would have required a be simple. second charge for paint match. “They have suggested it can easily be done An ICBC spokesman also estimates the by either the ICBC estimators or the shop cost at $68 per match, or a total of $285,600 estimators,” Bains told Bond. annually. “But the management (at ICBC) has been Those were the figures initially given to an instructing those estimators not to deduct ICBC estimator who complained the double payment.

ICBC spokesman told Black Press Wednes-

day. “There is no customized program available to eliminate this charge and implementing a manual check of every claim would far outweigh the cost of the charges.” But in an email obtained by Black Press, one ICBC estimator said the money could be saved quickly – and without cost – to ICBC. “There is a simple, easy, less-than-fiveminute fix to remove the overpayments, if ICBC takes the time to train estimators,” the email states. “An easier fix would be to train the express shops to do it up front.” Bond said she was aware the overbilling was occurring, but she disputed its frequency and the $1-million cost. She said the total cost to the insurance company is about $200,000 annually. “This is not an easy fix,” Bond told the committee. “The e-mails might indicate that it is; I’m being told it’s not that simple. What we’ve agreed to do is have Jon (Schubert, CEO of ICBC) go back and look at what, if anything, can be done.”

White Rock council defers decision on Oxford Street facility

Evergreen project ‘not ready’ 40% OFF Staff Reporter

Proponents of a project that’s been on hold for the past four years will have to get their ducks in a row before White Rock officials will allow temporary buildings to be erected at the site of a proposed five-storey complex care facility. Despite a cautious staff recommendation to grant the Evergreen Baptist Home Society a three-year permit to install a modular office in anticipation of funding approvals that will move the project at 1550 Oxford St. forward, land use and planning committee members voted to defer consideration of the permit until more definitive progress has been made. “I don’t think we’re ready to do this,” Coun. Lynne Sinclair said Monday, in explaining her motion to defer. “There’s too many question marks.”

The Evergreen society proposed in September 2006 to build a $25-million, 120-unit complex care facility to replace two wings of its existing campus and expand capacity to keep up with White Rock’s aging population. According to a staff report, a rezoning and development permit for the project has been waiting to proceed to third and final reading since July 2007, stalled by development prerequisites including approval of provincial funding assistance. While Paul Stanton, the city’s director of planning and development services, noted the society anticipates positive news on the funding “in the next month or so,” he said staff have concerns with granting a permit for a temporary facility that may not be needed. It was recommended on the condition the zoning amendment

bylaw and development permit move forward for approval, he said. According to comments that were included in Stanton’s report to the committee, planning officials are “concerned that this project may never proceed as outlined, and if so, this temporary use cannot be justified.” However, “if and when the funding assistance is received, this could move forward fairly quickly,” Stanton said. Sinclair said she was “quite surprised” staff would express concerns and yet still recommend granting the temporary permit. Coun. Al Campbell also questioned why the permit should be considered at this point. The committee supported Sinclair’s motion unanimously. Mayor Catherine Ferguson and Coun. Doug McLean were not at the meeting.

‘Nobody should have to go through this’ from page 1 you (kill) an innocent victim,” she said. The family wants an automatic two-year driving suspension for someone arrested for impaired driving. And if that person is impaired and involved in an accident, the family wants a minimum of a five-year jail sentence. “If a person is impaired causing death, then they should be charged with vehicular homicide,” Markita said.

Safe drivers deserve a break

.C. Solicitor-General Shirley Bond was quick to put the brakes on an ICBC plan that would have seen insurance rates rise for drivers with a single speeding ticket. While the insurance corporation’s ultimate destination (reduced premiums for safe drivers) was a valid one, the route it mapped out to get there was threatening to incite road rage from the province’s drivers, ultimately prompting the Liberal government to shift into reverse. Bond, the minister responsible for ICBC, this week ordered the Crown corporation to “go back to the drawing board and rethink its options,” adding she had not been consulted about the change to ICBC’s rate structure. What has been lost in the debate is the fact that British Columbians with safe driving records are paying too much for their insurance. Those at higher risk of causing an accident, ultimately increasing costs for all drivers, should face higher insurance rates. But jacking up rates for motorists who are given a single speeding ticket after what may have been 20 years of claim-free driving will do nothing to make our roads safer, or reduce the number of claims. Drivers guilty of speeding or other infractions do face consequences, with fines and penalty points that hit them in the pocketbook. ICBC should focus its attention on those drivers with repeated violations and a history of insurance claims. An argument could even be made that those with lengthy commutes through highcongestion areas are at greater risk of being in a collision than those who only drive a few blocks. But whatever method ICBC uses to determine those at greater risk of increasing insurance costs, drivers who have a proven track-record of safe driving deserve a break in premiums – especially considering the recent profits shown by what should be a revenue-neutral operation, with a $563 million surplus reported by ICBC in 2009 alone. More needs to be done to pave the way for lower rates for safe drivers in B.C.

94 responding used to set off a series of charges. You know where I’m going with this... Yup, what mom had picked up, carefully coiled together, packed down a mountain, and put in her garage, was essentially a long, thin bomb. The guys building that new logging road had been blasting, and carelessly left a long length of det cord lying around. Now, this stuff is not particularly sensitive to low-velocity impact. It requires a blasting cap to cook it off. However, had mom actually got around to stringing up her raspberries with her handy-dandy det cord, and say for instance, had lightning hit it … well, instant jam! Or better yet, had Dad’s briefs been clipped to ma’s new “clothesline,” and it went off, those undies would’ve been in orbit! I’m betting he would’ve had something to say about that... Thankfully, those plans never got to the implementation stage. I relieved mom of her interesting find, and handed it over to the explosive ordnance disposal lads at the Chilliwack military base, who were highly skeptical that I actually had what I claimed to have. They got serious when I showed them. “You say your mother found this on a mountain, and carried it home?!” Yes sir. Anyway, all’s well that ends well. Mom stopped scavenging orange cord, and I got a great story to tell. Andrew Holota is the editor of the Abbotsford News.

Cycle of help Editor: Re: War Amp event ‘can be lifechanging,’ May 13. On behalf of The War Amps, I would like to thank you for your article on White Rock resident Kathryne Bagshaw and her attendance at our recent BC Child Amputee (CHAMP) Kathryne Bagshaw Seminar. At these seminars, young amputees are given the latest information on artificial limbs. In addition, it is an excellent opportunity for ‘Champs’ and their parents to share concerns and advice. Junior counsellors who have been there speak to the younger amputees on subjects such as keeping active, body image, driving, employment and how to handle teasing and staring. The War Amps philosophy is ‘amputees helping amputees.’ Through this approach, Kathryne learns from older Champs at seminars and will, in turn, help younger Champs in years to come.

Discouraging message Editor: Re: Beach volunteers fear field-trip damage, May 13. I am wondering how Ms. Alford, a volunteer with Shorekeepers, can be so sure that the decline of shore crabs can be “specifically traced to the overload of school field trips” as opposed to any other influences on our fragile eco-system. More importantly, rather than use the Peace Arch News to suggest that schools choose other destinations for their end-of-the-year outings, why not draw readers in, by providing information in a positive way, encouraging behaviour that will lessen the impact on the shore crabs. As the parent of an elementary

school student, all you have done is alienate me with what seems to be a narrow-minded approach to this issue. You haven’t motivated me to take up your cause or open my wallet to the society. J. Thacker, White Rock

Seal hunters treated unfairly Editor: Re: Barbaric ritual on thin ice, April 15 letters. Despite J.S. Korman’s assertions, seal hunters are not barbaric or cruel people. I have met many, and encourage others who are interested in the topic to do so as well. Moreover, the anti-hunting groups that are informing Mr. Korman’s opinion do not have any peer-reviewed scientific studies to validate the oft-made claim that seal hunting is “inherently inhumane.” By contrast, Canada’s regulations on seal-hunting practices are based on Independent Veterinarians Working Group (www.ivwgonline.

org) recommendations from 2005. If sealers are found not following the regulations, they are suspended from hunting and receive hefty fines. Of the 12,000 licensed professional sealers in Canada, only a few hundred are hunting this year. Anti-hunting groups have been vilifying their livelihoods and devaluing their products for years, so I’m not surprised that some would sell their licenses under a bleak outlook, at a time when many fishing enterprises are hard to maintain. Given their past activities of attacking the hunt, it is disingenuous for anti-hunting groups to suggest that seal hunting is not economically important enough to allow. Some 50 billion animals are slaughtered each year on the planet for human benefit, and unless one is a vegan, it is hypocritical to suggest that abundant seal populations deserve special protection in this context. What we need is fair treatment for sealers, and an end to the skewed and outrageous attacks on them. David Barry, Corner Brook, NL Seals and Sealing Network

Corporations keep us afloat Editor: Re: Here’s hope for our political future, May 11 letters. Recent letters from R.K. Grace and Frank G.

These people see an opportunity to make money and start the ball rolling. They take a chance, work up to 24/7 to make their business successful and have a lot of headaches along the way. Yes, they make money. They also spread some of it around. It goes to their employees and gets a community going. No business, no jobs, no money, no nothing! Business is the backbone of our nation, not government programs. Conservative supporters understand that business is the creator of a good standard of life for Canadians. The Liberal Party went down because they were more concerned with their own welfare rather than the welfare of Canada. There is a place in Canada for the NDP. Its role is working for vulnerable people to ensure they aren’t taken advantage of. We need to work together to fully utilize the fabulous resources of our country.

The City of White Rock and its residents need to embrace progress, according to letter-writer D. Barros.

Squabbling stalls city’s progress Editor: Re: City plans for independent future, May 11. The key word is “progress” – you are either for it or against it. If you are for it, you will be in favour of cropping trees so that people who pay high prices for real estate can get their views. Let homeowners take responsibilities for these actions, if they want the views and they have enough money to take care of a problem if it occurs, you shouldn’t try to stop them. On our street, some of us paid to have the “ugly” telephone wires put underground so we could have a clear view. Why not give that option to others who may want it and thereby kill two birds with one stone, get rid of the ugly wires without having to pay for the work from the city coffers.

Trying to attract more business here rather than letting it go across the street would help economic sustainability, also it would help esthetically, as uptown White Rock is starting to look really sad. How about designating a dog park for dog owners – that would be a favourable gesture. I have also heard many people say that they are so disappointed that we can’t have a train stopping here on its way south – that would be progressive. Admit that the demographics of this area are changing and along with the younger buyers comes more flexibility, more creativity, more tolerance, more money to spend and no fear of spending it. It’s easy, just stop all this squabbling and make a choice. D. Barros, White Rock

CITY NEWS HOLIDAY COLLECTION SCHEDULE Brian Giebelhaus photo

A City of Surrey bylaw expected to be adopted this month will give Ocean Park Community Hall heritage benefits, including access to financial support.

Ocean Park facility in need of maintenance

Bylaw gives hall heritage benefits Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Ocean Park Community Hall is getting full heritage benefits. A bylaw to protect and maintain the hall for the long term has received first, second and third reading at Surrey City Hall. The Heritage Revitalization Agreement Bylaw is expected to be adopted May 30, opening the door for members of the Ocean Park Community Association to access funds that will ease the financial burden of preserving the historic hall in the years to come. “It will help with the preservation of the hall for future communities,” said association president Jane Hayes. “We want to keep it as a heritage building. There is some protection for it if you put it into a heritage agreement.” Built in 1925, the 1577 128 St. hall was added to Surrey’s heritage register in November 1998. The move recognized its qualities and characteristics as significant and contributing to the city’s heritage. It did not, however, give it heritage protection. That can only be offered by a designation bylaw, heritage revitalization agreement or heritage covenant. Heritage protection is noted on the title of protected properties, and owners of such properties may apply to the city for financial assistance. Hayes said the association expects the hall will need roof and siding

work in the next two or three years. A roof leak is currently being investigated, she said. “There’s ongoing repairs needed at the hall,” Hayes said. “The mandate of the board is to maintain the hall. (The heritage revitalization agreement) is one of the proceeds that we needed to do to enable that.” Under the bylaw, owners of heritage properties that are subject to an HRA may apply for up to 50 per cent of the value of repair or restoration work, up to $5,000 per year. Hayes commended board members who worked for “the better part of a year” to get the agreement in order. It outlines the responsibilities of the association in preserving the hall into the future; a conservation plan includes a description of the hall’s heritage significance, a list of its character-defining elements, a description of its maintenance and restoration requirements and an indication of what work might require a heritage alteration permit. According to a May 9 report, the hall is significant “for its continuous association with the development of the Ocean Park neighbourhood in Surrey.” The heritage revitalization agreement bylaw includes provisions to rebuild the hall in the event it is destroyed. The application was endorsed by the city’s Heritage Advisory Commission on March 23.

ER numbers revealed Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Close to half of the emergency patients to Peace Arch Hospital in the 2010-2011 fiscal year came from outside the Semiahmoo Peninsula, Fraser Health has revealed. The number of patients coming to the hospital from outside the community has frequently been cited as one of the factors for overcrowding in and around the ER. According to statistics released by the

authority, a total of 47 per cent of some 40,000 people passing through the hospital’s ER during the fiscal year were from outside South Surrey and White Rock, basing community of residence on given postal codes. Just 37 per cent of those in emergency during that time were residents of South Surrey, while 16 per cent were from White Rock. The highest percentages of patients came from Newton (15 per cent) and Cloverdale (nine per

cent). Recent criticism of congestion in the ER has come from relatives of patients and Dr. John Todd, a surgeon at the hospital and a critic of the level of care possible under current budgetary constraints. But Dr. Anne Clarke, medical director for the emergency program for Fraser Health and Peace Arch ER doctor, said the most pressure is placed on ER staff by patients for whom there are not beds in other wards of the hospital.

White Rock City Hall will be closed on Monday, May 23, 2011 for Victoria Day. Garbage, Green Can and Recycling for Single-Family Homes/Duplexes will be unaffected by the statutory holiday.

More time in prison for man convicted of assault Sheila Reynolds Black Press

A longtime criminal who struck a drunken man so hard that his eye had to be removed will serve another 10 months in jail. Robert Gordon James Paterson, 37, has already been in prison for 19 months after pleading guilty to aggravated assault in connection with a Surrey fight in September 2009 that left Sam Mete without one eye and unable to work or drive. According to reasons for sentence made last month, but just posted online, Justice Terence Schultes handed Paterson four years in jail, minus 38 months – two-for-one credit for time already served in pretrial custody. According to the documents, Paterson and Mete had three consecutive confrontations in one day (Sept. 11, 2009) at the Cedar Gardens Apartment complex in the Whalley neighbourhood of North Surrey. Paterson was angry because he believed Mete had acted disrespectfully to his common-law spouse. An initial verbal fight turned physical and Paterson had a tooth knocked out before biting Mete on top of the head, the documents state. The pair were separated, but Paterson returned shortly afterwards and a second fight broke out. Police were called and Paterson, who had been drinking, was taken into custody, but subsequently released. Paterson returned to the apartment complex, where, unbeknownst to him, Mete had continued drinking all day and had become extremely intoxicated, the documents state. The drunken Mete went into his apartment to get cigarettes and brought a friend’s pit bull for protection.

Robert Paterson was sentenced in New Westminster Supreme Court last month for his actions in a September 2009 fight. The dog broke free and Paterson thought it was charging at him before it veered toward someone else it knew. The two men then exchanged words and began fighting again. The court document indicates Mete was so drunk that any attempts to throw a punch would have been “ineffectual.” Paterson struck Mete three times in the head and face. He admitted he did so quickly and forcefully, knocking Mete to the ground. In hospital, doctors found Mete’s eye was so damaged it had to be removed. “The impact of this offence on Mr. Mete has been as serious as one could imagine,” Schultes said in his sentencing. Schultes said Mete’s loss of depth and spatial perception has made it impossible for him to continue his work and he is now on social assistance. He’s also lost his confidence to drive, which further limits future job prospects. According to the court documents, Paterson has an extensive criminal record spanning 1990 to 2008, including property damage

You are invited to attend the WHITE ROCK / SURREY

and theft, violence, drug offences, and numerous breaches of court orders. He also has a history of mental health problems and substance abuse and was a victim of sexual abuse as a child. A pre-sentencing report said Paterson recognizes the seriousness of his assault on Mete and his need to get counselling and treatment. “Whatever Mr. Paterson’s perception of the situation at the time of the offence,” said Schultes, “this was an assault that did not need to happen. In committing this unnecessary assault, he inflicted serious, permanent, life-altering injury on Mr. Mete, which has deprived Mr. Mete of his livelihood. “That said, the possibility of rehabilitation is real in this case and should not be discounted... and any sentence I impose should not be so long that it thwarts Mr. Paterson’s nascent steps towards dealing with his problems.” Schultes also imposed a probation period of three years, plus an extensive list of conditions.

White Rock Christian Academy students experience extreme poverty, wealth during mission in Guatemala

Life-changing trip raises ‘big questions’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

lyssa Duncan remembers having little interest in the details her fellow White Rock Christian Academy students shared about their 2010 mission trip to Guatemala. The team spoke of the poverty they witnessed, the people they met and the satisfaction they gained from lending a hand. But for Duncan, who was in Grade 10 at the time, the stories were merely that – stories. They weren’t real to her. “I was getting so annoyed hearing the same thing over and over again,” the nowGrade 11 student admitted. One year later, after spending two weeks on a similar mission trip with 30 of her fellow Grade 11s, the 16-year-old now knows exactly where her peers were coming from. She now knows how such a trip can

change a person’s life. “This trip helped me realize that is what I want to do,” Duncan said of consideration she’d been giving to becoming a nurse. “It’s helped me understand God’s plan for my life.” The students travelled to Guatemala at the end of March, to San Juan del Obispo, a village 10 minutes outside of Antigua, the country’s former capital. The trip marked

the school’s fifth to the Central American country. While there, they helped on projects organized by Mission Impact – an evangelical agency – and Appropriate Technology, a collaborative that, according to its website, works to “design, develop, demonstrate and distribute affordable technological solutions that empower people and promote dignity.” At Vida y Esperanza, their sister school in Santa Lucia, the students helped pour cement for an extension. In the Mayan village of Santa Maria, they helped build two water cisterns, each of which will provide a sustainable water source for 12 families. In between, they played soccer with the local children, stayed in the homes of local residents and visited a variety of sites – some of which left the students

questioning the world’s fairness. Duncan said she is still trying to understand how the extremes of wealth and poverty she witnessed can exist in such close proximity. As example, she said the students travelled from the city dump, where villagers scavenge for food to eat and items to sell, to “one of the nicest malls I’ve ever seen” in 10 minutes. Highlights of the mall included a theatre with leather recliners where the students had only to ring a bell for service. “To go from those two extremities, it was insane,” Duncan said. “This was so wrong.” Trip co-ordinator Kristi Swarbrick said Duncan is not alone in the sentiment. Every year, many students return from the mission trip with “big questions,” she said. “Just seeing the injustice of it all. They question how this is allowed to happen in see page 12

Students return grateful from page 11 the world. “It’s life-changing for some.” Swarbrick, who is administrative assistant at White Rock Christian, said the trips fit well with the school’s mission and vision statement: “Inspires and cultivates citizens of Godly character who transform their world for Christ.” In addition, the experience opens students’ eyes to a Third World country and provides them an opportunity to discover fascinating people, she said. The school has also started sponsoring students of Vida y Esperanza, with an aim to link each class with a Guatemalan child that they essentially grow up with. The hope is the students will meet their peer during their respective Grade 11 trips. While some head to Guatemala thinking they’re going to change the world, the biggest difference is to the students themselves, Swarbrick said. “Sometimes, people think with missions trips that you’re going to bring change to a specific country, but instead, we’re taking a look at what God’s already doing in

Guatemala,” she said. “It’s ourselves that are being changed.” Duncan said she has made changes since she returned, appreciating more of the things she took for granted before. These days, her showers are shorter, she eats everything that’s put on her plate and she’s careful not to leave the tap running needlessly. And, she’s grateful – “for everything I have and everything that I’m given.”

Fundraiser to benefit planned women’s centre Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

Organizers looking to establish a women’s drop-in centre on the Peninsula within the next year are gearing up for their first fundraiser. A June 12 fashion show and tea will benefit Avalon by the Sea, which is to offer peer support to women in recovery from addiction. “(It will be) a living room atmosphere drop-in centre where women who are ready to investigate whether or not they have drug or alcohol problems can meet up with other women who have already established these things for themselves... and are making themselves available to others,” said founder Janice King, who has 38 years experience providing services to women. The centre is to be a sister facility to Avalon

Women’s Drop-in Centres in Vancouver and the North Shore, where King’s friends have served as directors. “They approached me and asked if I thought if White Rock had sufficient numbers of women in recovery to host or sponsor a similar facility.” King said she is aware of a “tremendous need” for a local setting where women in distress – including mothers and seniors – can interact with peers who have dealt with similar issues. While the Vancouver and North Shore centres have proven successful – recording 22,000 visits between the two of them last year – they are not easily accessible to women south of the Fraser, King added. A Peninsula location is currently being sought for Avalon by the Sea, which has been in the works since 2008 and now has

a board of directors, fundraising committee and volunteers. “We’re continually searching for people to act as peers,” she said. “We’re trying to create an open door where other people seeking recovery will have a place to go, ask questions, get literature and meet some other people who know their way around the recovery community.” King said the project is now in the “fundraising phase,” and next month’s kick-off fundraiser is meant to serve two purposes. “One is to raise funds and the second is to get our information out in the community.” The event is to be held from 2 to 4 p.m. at Kwomais Lodge, 1367 128 St., and feature a fashion show with clothes from local businesses. Tickets ($50) available by calling Janice at 604-531-8201 or Melissa at 778-895-4896.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re feeling psyched and positive, but at the moment, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not exactly sure how their bikes are getting up onto the roof. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how South Surrey cyclist Cheryl Lydynuik and Ride for Hope teammate Brenda Jeklin are feeling heading into a 24-hour rooftop marathon theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re calling Peddlers on the Roof. On May 20, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll climb to the roof of the Cloverdale Marketplace IGA, where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll spend 24 hours pedalling for Canuck Place Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospice. The two women â&#x20AC;&#x201C; great friends and cycling buddies â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are members of Team Alliance, taking part in the 2011 Ride For Hope, a 200-km charity bike ride on July 13 that starts at Morgan Crossing in South Surrey and will end in Hope. But first, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that 24-hour rooftop â&#x20AC;&#x153;spinâ&#x20AC;? in Cloverdale. Lydynuik said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be using a ladder to reach the hatch to the roof, but so far, it remains a mystery as to how the bikes will be making it through that little hatch. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confident that store owner, event organizer and Team Alliance Cycling Club teammate Rob Neufeld has it all worked out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rob is so supportive. He is so keen. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just been great,â&#x20AC;? said Lydynuik The two peddlers plan to take breaks, and expect other Team Alliance members will help them out. Lydynuik urged supporters to visit during the night to cheer them on.

South Surrey RCMP Const. Troy Derrick works with Grade 10 students Leeann Wells and Brittany Ruckaber on a mural hoped to deter graffiti vandals from targeting Earl Marriott’s football storage container. Tracy Holmes photo

The makings of a mural A colourful mural on a storage container outside Earl Marriott Secondary is hoped to deter vandals from leaving ugly scribbles on its walls. Students in the school’s First Nations program, working with South Surrey RCMP Const. Troy Derrick, added the graffiti-style mural to the container last week. It has “somewhat of a First Nations feel to it,” Derrick said

Show of thanks The RCMP District 1 community (Whalley/ City Centre) will be thanking the RCMP for their 60 years of service to the city with a Community Spirit Barbecue next week. The free event will run from 4 to 7:30 p.m. May 26 at Central City Plaza, 13450 102 Ave., and is to feature entertainment, games, a bouncy castle, face painting, contests and a dunk tank. The RCMP will be onsite showcasing their vehicles and equipment, and Safety Bear will be handing out stickers. “As soon as we announced that we wanted to do a Community Spirit Barbecue to thank the RCMP, everyone stepped up to participate,” Downtown Surrey Business Improvement Association’s Bonnie Burnside said. “Coun. Barinder Rasode will be attending and has graciously agreed to be one of the first to step into the dunk tank.” All proceeds from the barbecue will benefit Surrey RCMP youth outreach programs and North Surrey Lions Club’s Mile of Toonies initiative for Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation.

of the design, which spells out ‘football’ and features various football equipment as well as a medicine wheel. Grade 10 student Travis Grandjamb said he is optimistic the art will be respected by taggers. “We figured if there was a mural on it, it would stop some of the graffiti,” Grandjamb said. “If they respect artwork at all, maybe it’ll deter (them).”

The mural is not the first of its kind that students from the program have been involved in. Through an initiative spearheaded by Derrick, murals have also been painted at Jessie Lee Elementary, in the Semiahmoo Park bandshell and on a wall of the Ocean Village Farm Market, at 14 Avenue and King George Boulevard. - Tracy Holmes

FASTER, MORE ACCURATE DIAGNOSIS FOR SUSPECTED BREAST CANCER “Our focus is rapidity of diagnosis. We're eliminating unnecessary delays in a one-stop shop environment.” - Dr. Peter Doris, Surgeon and Physician Lead, Breast Health Clinic, Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre

PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE Get a sneak peek inside the Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre, located at the corner of 140th Street and Fraser Highway in Surrey, by joining us at our public open house Monday, May 30 from 3pm – 7pm. For more details go to www.fraserhealth.ca

Women within the Fraser Health region will have access to a special Breast Health Clinic that streamlines and significantly reduces the diagnostic process for suspected breast cancer, starting June 1 at the Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre. The clinic, based on the European Society of Mastology (Eusoma) model, will bring together the equipment and specialist’s necessary to provide a definitive diagnosis 99 per cent of the time, in less than 21 days from when the appointment at the Clinic is booked. The current average is three months for diagnosis. Quicker, accurate answers Surrey resident Heidi Kerr, who is currently being treated for breast cancer, recalls how distressing it was to wait six weeks for a diagnosis after having an abnormal mammogram. “The waiting is definitely the worst part,” Kerr said. “The fact that you don’t know: do you have cancer or do you not have cancer?” Much of the delay in the typical diagnostic process is due to several appointments at different locations. The Breast Health Clinic has a multi-disciplinary, integrated approach that provides same-day access

for three key tests – physical exam, medical imaging (mammogram and/or ultrasound) and tissue sample (biopsy) – and ensures coordination between specialists to provide a faster, accurate diagnosis. These tests can often be completed in one visit.

imaging equipment and reduce patient travel within the building. A special waiting room will provide breast health patients with a calming, private space while waiting for their tests when several are performed on the same day.

"I have always had great compassion for the women who are going through the diagnostic cascade for months and all they want to know is, do I or don't I?” said Dr. Peter Doris, head of surgery at Surrey Memorial Hospital and physician lead for the Breast Health Clinic. “We're eliminating unnecessary delays in a one-stop-shop environment.”

Importance of regular check-ups It’s important to perform breast self-exams regularly and have a medical breast exam at least once every 24 months. If you have a change in your breast please see your family doctor. Your doctor can refer you to the Breast Health Clinic at the Pattison Outpatient Centre if further investigation is required.

This “triple assessment” will be supported with Surrey’s first digital mammogram unit, which will produce more detailed images and enable the use of new biopsy equipment that can rapidly and accurately identify a greater range of lesions. Many women will get a definite benign result on the same day, and a large percentage will receive a definitive diagnosis in as little as seven days. Only a small proportion of cases will be complicated enough to require 21 days for diagnosis. Patient-centred approach The second-floor location for the Breast Health Clinic was chosen to provide ready access to

By age 50, women should make screening mammograms part of their regular health routine once every two years. For easy access, the BC Cancer Agency’s Screening Mammography Program has added a new location that will reside within the Pattison Outpatient Centre on the same floor as the Breast Health Clinic. To book a screening mammography appointment please call 604-877-6187.

Canucks fans flush in unison, save power, too Jeff Nagel Black Press

The Canucks’ playoff run has Metro Vancouver toilets flushing in unison with a precision not seen since the Olympic hockey finals during the 2010 Winter Games. Metro engineers are measuring big drops in water pressure throughout the system at the end of each period in key Canucks games. That shows there’s a whole lot of flushing going on as soon as cross-legged fans can safely tear themselves away from their TVs. A Metro graph shows water pressure in Burnaby plunged 15 per cent immediately after the third period of Game 7 between Vancouver and Chicago. “It just drops like a rock,” Metro utility systems control superintendent Rick Marchand said. “We saw the same effect everywhere throughout the Lower Mainland.” His engineers have to keep an eye on each game so they can anticipate commercial breaks, intermissions and overtime goals and brace for when fans will make a mass dash for the can. “We know we’re going to get hit, we know it’s going to happen,” Marchand said. “So we’ll try to anticipate by starting up a bunch

Water pressure in Burnaby dropped dramatically during the intermissions of recent Vancouver Canucks playoff games. of pumps and raising the pressure to maximum levels in advance.” Metro engineers even detected a royal flush phenomenon in the wee hours of April 29 during live coverage of the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. But nothing so far compares to the more than 100,000 flushes measured immediately after Sidney Crosby’s overtime goal to give Canada men’s hockey gold at last year’s Olympics. Marchand, however, said his staff think Canucks fans’ toilet power can top even that mark in the weeks ahead. Canucks games are also causing a surprising drop in the amount

of electricity being used. B.C. Hydro measured a 3.6-percent drop in power consumption during the deciding game against Chicago – equivalent to 48 million compact fluorescent light bulbs being turned off – and about a two-per-cent drop in Game 6 against Nashville. That’s far better than the concerted effort made by many green-minded B.C. residents to light candles and cut power use during Earth Hour in March, when a mere one-per-cent saving was recorded. “You might call it an accidental case of conservation,” said B.C. Hydro spokesman Greg Alexis.

news Mayors fear taxpayers will foot bill for bargaining discord

Civic unions poised to conquer divided cities Jeff Nagel Black Press

A once-unified front by local cities in labour negotiations with their unions has crumbled, raising fears that cash-strapped taxpayers in much of Metro Vancouver will soon be forced to pay their civic workers significantly higher wages. Cities have been gradually bailing out of the Metro Vancouver labour relations bureau, an arm of the regional district that co-ordinates bargaining for the region’s municipalities to keep a lid on contract costs. But the crisis has now come to a head on the eve of a new round of talks with unionized employees set to start later this year. A new report from labour consultant Jim Dorsey concludes the breakaway cities can’t be brought back into the fold and the other mainly smaller municipalities that choose to

objected to some of the terms. They say they ended up paying too much in 2007 when Richmond signed a 17.5-percent five-year deal with its workers that other cities were later forced to match. And some of those cities feel they don’t get enough value for what they invest in the labour bureau. All Metro Vancouver cities share in at least some of the $2.5 million annual cost of the bureau, with participating members paying more. While cities like Vancouver and Burnaby don’t want to be bound by the bureau and wish to be free to strike their own deals with civic workers, they still want some of the benefits of the association, like intelligence on what their neighbours are negotiating. Port Moody Mayor Joe Trasolini sees the collapse as a healthy evolution of the civic see page 27

Smaller municipalities ‘may be in danger’ Driver taken to hospital from page 26 employers’ association. “You need this sort of a breakup in order at some point in the future to rebuild something new,” he said. He expects the smaller cities will band together because there is strength in numbers. “The worrisome part is if a bigger municipality with some means goes out and signs a contract that is more lucrative,” Trasolini said. “That is the danger, especially for smaller municipalities.” Dorsey’s report echoes the concern of “concession contamination” and the potential that wealthy cities will do sweetheart deals that get replicated and force the rest of the region to raise taxes or sacrifice other spending priorities.

But it also recognizes complaints about the inflexibility of the onesize-fits-all bargaining system. A “slavish” adherence to regional contract standards may be less innovative, the report notes, and seen as handcuffing cities that think they can come up with more creative solutions with their unionized workers and achieve more positive local relations. The rigid bureau-controlled negotiations have led some cities to covertly strike “stealth agreements” or unwritten understandings outside of collective agreements, according to Dorsey. “For them, belonging to a defensive alliance is more a burden than a benefit,” he said, citing complaints the bureau is tired, failing, backward-

looking and unaccountable. Dorsey’s recommendations include creating an open public database of collective agreements. The new association of smaller cities expected to emerge may coordinate research and other services that non-members could buy into on a fee-for-service basis, although they wouldn’t be privy to the details of active negotiations. Dorsey’s report also notes there is often too heavy a focus on the pay rate negotiated and not on the myriad other factors in a contract that can affect the costs to taxpayers. Cities also have widely varying demands of their civic workforces, with some cities willing to pay significantly more for “no call too small” service standards.

after collision with bus

One person was taken to hospital with minor injuries following a May 7 collision in South Surrey involving a transit bus. According to a police report, the crash occurred just before 6:30 a.m. when a westbound Toyota Corolla struck a southbound bus in the intersection of 152 Street and 24 Avenue. According to a woman who arrived at the scene shortly after impact, the bus – which had four passengers onboard at the time – sustained damage along its driver’s side; the Toyota suffered extensive

damage. It came to rest near a telephone pole on the intersection’s southeast corner, she said. Both vehicles had to be towed and traffic was diverted for more than two hours while police investigated, the woman said. A Surrey RCMP spokesperson said the Toyota driver, a 28-year-old Langley woman, was taken to hospital; she was also issued a violation ticket for failing to stop at a red light. Bus passengers reportedly complained of minor aches and pains. - Tracy Holmes

Fishery fines going unpaid Jeff Nagel Black Press

A huge number of fines issued for illegal fishing have gone unpaid, raising serious questions about the federal fisheries department’s ability to deter poaching. More than $1 million in fines are currently unpaid in B.C., officials from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) disclosed in recent testimony before the Cohen Commission into the decline of Fraser River sockeye salmon. Since most fines are less than $5,000, the total unpaid reflects hundreds and perhaps thousands of individuals who have refused to pay, confirmed Randy Nelson, DFO’s assistant director of conservation and protection. Nor is there any mechanism with any teeth to enforce payment. “We don’t have a system to collect and follow up,” Nelson said under questioning before the inquiry April 8. “It is of concern to officers.” Paul Steele, DFO’s national directorgeneral for conservation and protection, told the inquiry the problem gets discussed “from time to time” but the department has been reluctant to spend the money required to pursue unpaid fines. He also said DFO has trouble getting other government agencies to collect fines on its behalf and fishery officers may also lack the legal powers to execute warrants themselves to enforce payment. Steele admitted under

questioning from lawyer Don Rosenbloom the situation threatens to undermine DFO enforcement efforts. “If it’s widely known that a person could potentially get off without paying a fine, then that could have an effect on compliance and the deterrence level, yes,” he said. The more than $1 million in unpaid fines is a cumulative total that’s built up over the years and includes all outstanding fines for Fisheries Act violations – illegal fishing by sports anglers, First Nations and commercial fishermen as well as habitat violations. Rosenbloom said later he was “shocked” by DFO’s admission of outstanding fines and its failure so far to act. Craig Orr, executive director of the Watershed Watch Salmon Society, said he was disappointed by the high number. “The environment and the fish are the losers when we don’t collect those fines,” Orr said, noting the money can often be channelled into stewardship projects or habitat restoration. “They need to improve that system,” said Sto:lo fishery adviser Ernie Crey, another regular observer at the sockeye inquiry, who pointed to impending budget cuts at the department. “They’re about to lose $57 million over the next two years. And they need to find ways of collecting this money if they hope to enjoy credibility on the fishing grounds. So you have a double incentive to go collect these fines.”

TransLink recorded a small surplus of $15.6 million for 2010, instead of the $84-million budget deficit that had been projected.

Below, the cover of Alto’s self-produced debut album, Scream My Name! energy is much better.” The evolution of Tommy Alto is a work in progress, Vander Kam admits. Because of his vocal range it was a natural for him to start out covering Johnny Cash material, segueing into blues and rockabilly – but his music now is “pretty much all rock ‘n’ roll” he said. An important part of that progress has been developing the stage persona of Tommy Alto, he said. “My mom came up with the name,” he said, readily acknowledging the huge amount of support and guidance she has provided in supporting and managing his fledgling career so far, although he has latterly taken over the reins in defining and promoting his music. “When she first said it, it was kind of a joke. But a week later, I was thinking about it and realized I really liked it.”

An alter ego can be very useful for an entertainer, said Vander Kam, who in addition to his musical skills also happens to be an honour-roll student at Earl Marriott Secondary (he recently got a 93 per cent grade in physics, his best subject). “It’s sort of like a Superman thing,” he laughed. “By day, I’m this 11th grade student and by 11 p.m., three night a week, I’m Tommy Alto in venues all over the Lower Mainland!” Observers have described his transformation into the completely assured, high energy Tommy, whenever he steps on stage, as “like watching somebody walk through a wall,” he said. It helps that he likes the other version of himself. “I’m good friends with Tommy – we have a lot in common,” he laughed. “I guess he’s more charismatic

than I am, a lot more outgoing, and definitely louder.” That charisma and energy will be on view this weekend (May 20-22) at the Whistler Week of Blues festival (as he performs with other rising Peninsula stars Sam and Luke and Sean ‘Blues Puppy’ Riquelme representing emerging Vancouver-area talents). “We have a pretty amazing young local music scene, definitely,” Vander Kam noted. Local audiences will also be able to catch him June 18 at Ocean Park Day, where he will return to the Ocean Park Idol event, this time as a judge. Vander Kam played a 10-day tour in Washington and Oregon in support of his album in March, a trip that has only made him hungrier to do more. “If I could make it a career, I’d be the happiest man on Earth, but I’m keeping my school grades up anyway,” he said.

arts & entertainment Surrey student to compete in modelling contest next month

Teen named top-20 finalist Alex Browne Arts Reporter

Hayley Frith didn’t have too many reservations about entering the River Rock Resort ITM NSR Model Look North America 2011 contest. The June 2 event is a fundraiser for the Vancouver Cancer Agency – and raising money for cancer research is a cause that’s pretty close to home for the 15-year-old Tamanawis Secondary student. “My aunt, my grandpa and my mom have all had experiences with cancer,” she said. “Fortunately they’re all in remission now.” And Frith is thrilled to be one of 20 finalists selected for the contest last month – and in the running for more than $10,000 in cash and prizes as well as an all-expenses-paid trip to China representing ITM and North America in the country’s largest model search, the New Silk Road Model Look contest. The 5’11 Grade 9 student recognizes that, of the top 20 chosen, she is one of the youngest and least seasoned contestants. “It feels really good,” she said. “I didn’t think I’d make it as far as I did, because I haven’t got any real experience of modelling.” So what was her edge? “Having lots of confidence,” said the self-assured teen, who admits she has benefit of her background as an avid volleyball player, as well as a competitive dancer. Being tall and having a passion for clothes and design have also helped her, she said, acknowledging she enjoyed the experience of her first brush with modelling – a magazine photo shoot arranged with the encouragement of one of her mom’s friends. “I like all different styles of fashion,” she admitted. “I like travelling, and this is an opportunity to meet a lot of new people such as photographers and stylists and work with many different styles.” But Frith said she is still a long way from making

Volleyball is still very much in the picture – in fact she’s currently visiting Seattle on a week-long volleyball program at the University of Washington. And dance is another passion, she said. “I’ve been dancing since I was three,” she said. “But I don’t know that I’m good enough to go for a career in it.” That’s why the current contest is a good chance to try something different, Frith said. “This will give me experience, to know what the modelling world is about, in case I want to pursue it.” While it won’t affect the outcome of the contest, the local public can show their support of Frith by voting online in an ITM Glamour Model web vote at ITMModel.com – and viewers of the site and her video there can vote every 24 hours up to June 2.

Nearly three-quarters of all housing starts were multiple-family units, with a total increase of 21 per cent over last April. “Multiple-family housing starts continue to grow in popularity throughout the CMA,” says CMHC Senior Market Analyst Robyn Adamache. “More than two-thirds of all multiple-family starts in April occurred in the North Vancouver district and the City of Burnaby, reflecting the strong housing demand in these areas.” In the Abbotsford CMA, housing starts totalled 21 for April, bringing the 2011 total to 188. As in Vancouver, multiple-family units

were responsible for much of the increase. Canada-wide, the seasonally adjusted annual rate of total housing starts decreased to 179,000 in April from 184,700 in March, but in B.C., April’s rate of urban housing starts moved from 18,300 in March to 22,600 for an increase of 23.5 per cent. “Housing starts moved lower in April mostly because of decreases in multiple construction across the country and in rural starts,” says Bob Dugan, chief economist at CMHC’s Market Analysis Centre. “The multiple segment market in Ontario and Quebec contributed the most to the overall decline in Canada.” However, urban starts increased by 5.3 per cent in the Prairies and by 10.4 per cent in the Atlantic provinces.

Surrey single-family homes

Highlands provides luxury living by Colin Oswin

Looking to move up a level? Marathon Homes’ Highlands at Sullivan Ridge development (located at 60A Ave. and 146 St. in Surrey) may be just the ticket. Descriptions of the development at the Highlands website feature words like “exclusive”, “premium” and “luxury”, and this terminology is certainly well-earned. The Highlands features 103 single-family homes in six different configurations ranging between 2,696 to 3,488 square feet. Sales Manager Andrea McArthur says each home is packed with top-quality accoutrements, including granite countertops, extensive crown moulding, stainless

steel appliances, six-inch baseboards throughout and tile flooring that extends from the kitchen into the laundry room, the secondary bathroom and even the basement bathroom. During construction, the floors were built using an I-joist system designed to prevent squeaking when people walk on them.

McArthur says all of these elements add up to a luxurious experience for homeowners. “Our standard finishings are upgrades everywhere else,” she says. Buyers can choose from six different exterior colour schemes, as well as three designer colour schemes for the interior. Vinyl siding on the outside is enhanced with wood trim, while cedar fencing frames professionally landscaped front and back yards. Select homes feature a great-room layout, which means the kitchen, dining and living areas are combined into a huge open space. McArthur says

this makes for an easy atmosphere, because family members who are using different areas of the house can still keep in contact. Buyers looking for more traditional layouts can find those as well. “They’re very pleased to see that they have so many different choices available to them,” McArthur says. Each home comes with a finished basement, so each detail (baseboards, carpeting and everything else) will match with the rest of the house. The spa-inspired master bathrooms feature big soaker tubs surrounded by continued on page 37

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Fourth-place Fraser Valley squad laden with Peninsula talent

Locals excel at volleyball nationals Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

A handful of Peninsula volleyball players were front and centre on the court in recent weeks, at both provincial and national championships. On May 7, the U18 Surrey Focus Pounders captured the B.C. Boys championship with a victory over the Fraser Valley Volleyball Club Blue U18s 2-0 (25-23, 27-25). A pair of South Surrey athletes figured prominently into the action; Pounders’ Alex Russell was named tournament MVP, and his teammate, setter Ryan Thain, was named to the tournament all-star team. Both clubs advanced to the Canadian Open U17-U18 Championships last weekend in Abbotsford, where the FVVC Blue squad just missed the Tier 1 podium, dropping a straight-sets decision (25-22, 25-20) to Northern Alberta Volleyball Club of Edmonton in the third-place game. The roster of FVVC Blue was laden with Peninsula talent, including Matt Bonshor, Jake Klassen, Keenan McMullin, Josh Sigurdson and Liam Murphy-Burke. On the girls side of the national tournament, the Fraser Valley Volleyball Club Blitz – which includes South Surrey’s Carla Vicic, Morgan Dale and Becky Roder, and Cloverdale’s Breanna Evoy – won the U17 Div. 1/Tier 2 final, beating a team from LacMeganic, Que. in two sets (2624, 25-23).

Sean Keane, Keffri Neal break 3,000-m record

Runners, throwers lead way at Fraser Valley meet Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Middle distance runners and throwers led the medal charge for South Surrey schools through the first two days at Fraser Valley Track and Field Championships, held earlier this week at Coquitlam’s Town Centre Stadium. Elgin Park Secondary’s Christina Juert won a pair of medals – gold in senior girls discus, with a toss of 32.86 metres, and silver in senior girls hammer throw, with her distance of 39.62 m, just shy of Seaquam’s Serena Graf ’s throw of 40.92 m. Another Elgin Park student, Ryan Sommer, added to his school’s medal collection with two silver medals, in shot put and hammer throw.

The three-day meet wrapped up Wednesday, with qualifying athletes moving on to provincials next month. The success in the throwing pits was matched on the track by the Peninsula’s slew of middle-distance runners – many of whom are among the best in the country. In the senior boys 800-m, Fleetwood Park’s Keffri Neal clocked a gold-medal time of 1:50.72 to edge White Rock Christian’s Sean Keane by two-hundredths of a second, and both runners crushed the Fraser Valley record by more than three seconds. Earl Marriott’s Deon Clifford rounded out the podium, finishing third in 1:58.99. In the other marquee distance event, the senior boys 3,000-m,

Semiahmoo’s Jack Williams finished first, less than one second faster than Clifford and two ticks quicker than Elgin Park’s Jake Bruchet. Elsewhere on the track, Semiahmoo’s Vanessa Sjoberg was second in the senior girls 200-m and Elgin’s Maddy Kerr placed fourth; EMS

runner Melanie Oster took home a silver medal in the senior girls 3,000-m; Semi’s Alison Williams and Earl Marriott’s Tessa Davis were first and second, respectively, in the junior girls 800-m, and Marriott’s Ally Ginther was second in junior girls 3,000-m. In field events, Earl Marriott’s Kathryn Van Ryswyk topped the field in junior girls pole vault, after clearing 2.70 m – 10 cm more than second-place finisher Jessica Tan of Fraser Heights. In senior boys pole vault, Van Ryswyk’s brother, Riley, won bronze, clearing three metres. Riley was also fourth in long jump. In the Grade 8 competition, Semi’s Lexy Reimer picked up a bronze medal in the 100-m dash and a silver in the 200-m, while

Totem teammate Chelsea Ribiero won both the girls 800-m and 3,000-m races. Another Totem, Katherine Reiss, won gold in the Grade 8 girls triple jump, leaping a distance of 9.53 m, and Elgin Park’s Jake Hanna took top spot in the Grade 8 boys 200-m. Relay teams also fared well in Coquitlam. In the junior girls 4x400 event, Semi’s team of Ribeiro, Isabella Koch, Sydney Roach and Hannah Roach won gold. In the senior girls 4x400 relay, Semi was second, followed by EMS in third. Earl Marriott’s senior boys 4x400 relay team also scooped a medal, placing second behind Surrey Christian.

B.C.’s co-ed roller derby league, the Mainland Misfits, will be front and centre at the Cloverdale Rodeo this weekend. Steven Wood photo

life in their shoes

Attention Attention Teachers: Teachers:

Roller Derby comes to rodeo Jennifer Lang Black Press

The action-packed, full-contact sport of roller derby is a star attraction at this year’s Cloverdale Rodeo. B.C.’s only co-ed roller derby league, the Mainland Misfits, present Cowgirls and Rollerskates, a two-day derby May 21 and 22 at the Cloverdale Curling Club, the league’s home track. The Mainland Misfits are made up of two women’s teams, the Anarchy Angels and the Doomsday Bunnies, plus a men’s team called, ominiously, the Vancouver

Murder. “We really want to build up our following and our fan base, and we really want people in the community to come out and join us,” said Tawnya Wood, co-captain of the Doomsday Bunnies. The sport is growing so quickly, it’s gone viral, with 19 B.C. leagues and growing. “People see it once and they want to come out and play, or they want to ref or they want to be non-skating officials,” said Wood. “It’s full contact, and very competitive. Also, people have a lot of fun.”

Wood skates by the moniker Tee Kayo, while teammates’ names include Boo T Slamma, Devoida Taste and Backstabbing Bettie, to name a few. The Anarchy Angels sport monikers like Mya Diction, Rolla Sassin and Mala Justid. Roller derby is theatrical, even kitschy. The colourful costumes are legendary, as are individual displays like fishnet stockings and face paint – but it’s also an athletic sport involving strength, agility and strategy. It’s also family-friendly, as see page 41

The Hero In You® education program offers a series of FREE curriculumlinked lesson plans (grades 4-7) aimed to motivate children to ﬁnd the champion within themselves. In addition, teachers can request a FREE classroom presentation delivered in-person by a Hall of Fame athlete!

Derby events are fast-paced, physical, but family friendly from page 40 fans old and new will discover this weekend, when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get their first look at the Misfits during the Cloverdale Rodeo Parade, followed by Cowgirls and Rollerskates, a four-bout derby Saturday and Sunday, in support of the charity Big Brothers of Greater Vancouver. Amazingly, the men and ladies teams share the track during some bouts, although Wood is careful to note the teams themselves are not co-ed. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no shoulder checking during co-ed bouts, but hip checks are allowed, leading to spills and wipeouts, and times when players even land on one another. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to lie, when we were first thinking of merging, I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too sure,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been so good for the sport. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned a lot from the men, and I think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned a lot from us.â&#x20AC;? In flat-track derby, the track is flat (in this case, polished concrete), not banked. Players wear roller skates, elbow and knee pads, mouth and wrist

guards and helmets. The rules are simple. Two teams take part in a bout. Each 30-minute half is broken into shifts called jams. The eight players at the front are called the pack and act as blockers. The two jammers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one from each team â&#x20AC;&#x201C; take off after the pack once the whistle blows, trying to make it through. Once past the pack, the jammers sprint ahead to catch up with the pack again. Jammers must complete a second lap in order to score points by passing opposing players, who, in turn, try to block their progress.

Roller Derby is gaining popularity through the province. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Roller derby is an incredibly strategic game,â&#x20AC;? Wood said.

The players on Woodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team run the gamut, from punk rockers to business

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing like this. Then you go home and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a great mom.â&#x20AC;? Saturday, May 22, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all star invitational from 1-3 p.m., followed by Public Frenemy vs. Doomsday Bunnies from 4-6 p.m. On Sunday, May 22, the Sea to Sky Sirens take on the Anarchy Angels from 1-3 p.m., with a co-ed all-star invitational closing out the derby from 4 to 6 p.m. Free with fairgrounds admission ticket.

executives, artists and homemakers aged 21 to 50. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Derby is a sport that embraces all shapes, all sizes and all athletic abilities,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are serious athletes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about wearing fishnets. It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about how you look.â&#x20AC;? The physical challenge of the sport and the chance to blow off steam in an accepting environment has huge appeal for women, Wood added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are strong women. A lot of us have children. You go out, have a two-hour practice and you get some hits. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hard workout.

sports Premier Baseball League squad has pair of doubleheaders this weekend

Tritons look to snap losing streak on roadtrip Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Though the White Rock Tritons have struggled to score runs during their current three-game losing streak, the drought has as much to do with the competition as it does their own skills with the bat, according to the team’s head coach. Last Thursday, the Tritons were edged 4-2 by the B.C. Premier Baseball League’s second-place team, the Langley Blaze – who had ace Tom Robson on the hill – and Saturday, in the first game of a doubleheader in Parksville, White

Rock found themselves up against Royals’ No. 1 pitcher Clayton Isherwood. “Isherwood is a member of the Canadian junior national team, and Robson is potentially a first-round draft pick (in this year’s Major League Baseball draft), so it hasn’t been easy for us,” said Tritons coach Russ Smithson. “It was two really tough games for us, but we did get seven hits off (Robson), so I’ve still been happy with how the guys have played.” On Saturday, Isherwood struck out

Dr. Hansen Liang “Our aim is to provide a caring & comfortable dental experience for our patients.”

11 in seven innings to lead his club to a 5-1 win over White Rock, and Parksville won the nightcap, too, 4-0. The Tritons’ Sunday doubleheader, which was to be at home against the Victoria Mariners, was rained out. White Rock, with a record of 8-10, will look to rebound this weekend with four road games on the schedule. Saturday, they head across the

Fraser River to play two against the Coquitlam Reds, and Sunday they head to Victoria for a doubleheader against the Eagles. Smithson said for his team to get back into the win column, they’ll need to do a better job of cashing in on their scoring opportunities – something that’s been a problem of late. “We really struggled the last week or so when we’ve had men on base,” he explained.

“We can get runners on, and move them over to second and third, but we just can’t seem to get them home. If we can start doing that, and maybe get an early lead, that’d really help. We play a lot better when we get that early lead – it’s tough coming from behind all the time.” Two players who haven’t been struggling at the plate lately are Josh Sigurdson and Evan Douglas.

Sigurdson is currently sixth in the PBL batting race, with a .396 average, while Douglas is hitting .379 but does not yet have enough at-bats to qualify among the league leaders. “The last few weeks, Josh has just been skyrocketing up the batting-average leaders,” Smithson said. “They’ve both been fantastic. Smithson said four good practice days this week – which

have been few and far between lately, due to scheduling and weather – have his squad feeling confident heading into the weekend. “I think we’re going to be good, I really do,” he said. “The games will be tough, though. I expect Saturday’s game to be good, low-scoring games. Coquitlam has four really good lefthanded pitchers – and I’m sure we’ll probably see every one of them.”

PAUL, Audrey Jean Winifred April 28, 1918 - May 10, 2011 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Audrey Paul, (wife), mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt and dear friend. Predeceased by her husband Joseph in 2004, daughter Patricia in 1995, and brother Jack in 2001, she will be sadly missed by her children Joseph (Wendy), David (Brenda), Gillian (Bernie) Ernewein, and Susan (Julian) Manzur; son-in-law David Riis; grandchildren Ainsley Paul, Gavin (Jeanette) Paul, Leslie (Marius) Segal, Daniel (Melissa) Riis, Matthew (Jennifer) Riis, Trevor (Susan) Paul, Allison Paul, Mavis Ernewein (Curtis), Amanda Ernewein (Darcy), Stephanie Ernewein, and Ava Manzur: great-grandchildren Maya, Matthew and Evan Segal, Benjamin, Chloe and Bethany Riis, Isabella and Izaak Riis, Sebastian and Imogen Paul, and Sierra George; sister Shirley Christmas, sister-in-law Ricky Morgan, nieces, nephews, cousins and a multitude of close friends. Born and raised in Bashaw, Alberta Audrey attended Edmonton Normal School to fulfill her dream of becoming a school teacher. After teaching at a number of country schools she met and married Joe Paul, a career Naval Officer. During the early years of their marriage they lived on Canada’s East coast where they raised a family of five children. In 1971 Joe and Audrey relocated to Kelowna where they enjoyed a long and happy retirement. Avid golfers, they were long time members of the Kelowna Golf and Country Club where they hosted a number of memorable family celebrations. In 2000 they made a move to South Surrey to be closer to family. Family and friends were most important to Audrey and she touched the lives of many people during her 93 years; her thoughtfulness and genuine interest in others created positive connections with everyone she met. The family is grateful to the staff at Peace Arch Hospital and especially to Dr. Benitez for his compassion and kindness. A Celebration of Audrey’s Life will be held at Beecher Place, 12160 Beecher Street in Crescent Beach, Surrey, BC on August 28, 2011. In lieu of flowers donations to the Peace Arch Hospital Foundation would be appreciated. Condolences may be offered to the family at davepaul7@gmail.com.
