Sunday service to include reading from the Koran
Christians share Muslims’ message Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
A South Surrey church is adding its voice to international outrage expressed this week over a U.S. congregation’s plan to burn copies of the Koran Saturday. Sunnyside United’s Rev. Stuart Lyster said this Sunday’s service will include a reading from Chapter 19 of the book of Surah, “to make a point that we aren’t part of what’s being proposed in Florida.” The Koran burning is proposed to take place Saturday in Gainesville, on the ninth anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in the U.S. Word of the plan has spurred online forums

A dog found on a Buena Vista Avenue property where more than 300 marijuana plants were seized by police last month is now awaiting his fate. “The plan is we’re trying to find the current owner, but we have a requirement that if the owner doesn’t claim it after 10 days, we have to put the dog down,” White Rock development services director Paul Stanton said this week. “That’s in our bylaw.”

Mustang is a friendly dog, says White Rock resident Ruth Carrier, who visited his kennel Thursday, just days before he is due to be euthanized. But at least one White Rock resident is trying to help the dog – as well as a caged rabbit left behind on the property – to find a home. Peace Arch News reported last month that two White Rock men are facing charges in connection with an Aug. 6 police incident in
the 14900-block of Buena Vista Avenue. Police executing a search warrant on a home that morning seized about 350 pot plants. At the time, police believed one or both of the men facing charges – production of a controlled substance and theft of hydro – were

The second announcement last week concerned the Pattullo Bridge. TransLink would like to replace the old bridge, built in 1937 and too narrow and dangerous for traffic today. Replacement of the Pattullo will be welcomed by many – but the prospect of paying tolls on its replacement is not going down well with Surrey residents and politicians, particularly as the new Port Mann Bridge is also going to be a toll bridge. Mayor Dianne Watts says it is unacceptable that the only tolls on roads and bridges on the Lower Mainland involve three Fraser River crossings which connect to Surrey. She is not opposed to tolling, but believes it should be spread throughout the region to be fair to all. Her point is even more valid, considering Surrey residents pay property taxes to TransLink for transit, roads and bridges, yet have much worse transit service. In addition, it could be argued Surrey residents pay far more than their share towards TransLink via gas taxes, as they must buy more gas to go to work, shop and do other tasks. The majority of that gas tax revenue goes towards transit. A toll bridge to replace the Pattullo would in one way be a reminder of earlier days. The bridge was a toll bridge when it first opened, earning it the derisive name of “Pay-Toll-o” bridge. The tolls were taken off the bridge in the 1950s.

Developer seeks increase in number of units for second phase
Future of Miramar towers up in the air Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter
A developer information meeting held Tuesday to inform the public of Bosa Properties’ application to amend zoning for the third and fourth Miramar Village towers drew a “mixed crowd.” Bosa Properties is requesting permission to increase the number of residential units – from 202 to 260 – in the two yet-to-be-built towers, while leaving the buildings’ height, density and floor area unchanged. Essentially, the new units would be smaller than originally planned. “It was a mixed bag, a little bit of everything,” said City of White Rock director of development services Paul Stanton, who attended the meeting. “Some people were curious to see if perhaps they could afford one of the newer,
smaller units, and other people were from towers one and two, who came to check out the new layouts or who had other concerns about their towers. “And then there were those people who opposed the project from Day 1, and thought they’d come by to see if they could oppose this, too.” Between 50 and 60 people attended the meeting, Stanton estimated. Coun. Helen Fathers, who attended the meeting with fellow councillors Al Campbell and Lynne Sinclair, said the meeting was a positive one, but she left with numerous questions. “At the offset, it doesn’t appear much different than original design, so it’ll be interesting to see what problems the design panel has with it,” she said. “(Bosa) is saying it’s not more density, too,

Vehicle hits pillar
Crash kills driver at border

Two routes cross country
Forty cyclists pedal up Marine Drive Thursday morning on the first leg of a cross-Canada ride to raise money and awareness for childhood cancer. The 15-day Sears National Kids Cancer Ride – with 192 scheduled stops – is due to wrap up in Halifax Sept. 23. Meanwhile, a group of White Rock firefighters cycled westbound out of Halifax Wednesday to raise funds for Variety the Children’s Charity. That crew is due in White Rock Sept. 21.
A 54-year-old Surrey man is dead following a single-car crash at the Pacific Highway border crossing Tuesday evening. Emergency crews responded to the scene around 9:30, after a southbound car lost control, struck a median and slammed into a pillar at the crossing. The lone occupant died at the scene. Investigation is ongoing, however, police believe the driver suffered a medical incident prior to the crash, and that drugs or alcohol were not factors. “Just a tragic incident,” Surrey RCMP Const. Peter Neily told Peace Arch News Wednesday morning. The border crossing was closed in both directions until after midnight. The man’s family has been notified. His name has not been released.
Growth cited as need to put city first
Metro puts Surrey ahead of UBC for rapid transit Jeff Nagel Black Press
New rapid transit for fast-growing Surrey should come ahead of Vancouver’s proposed line to UBC – and after the planned Evergreen Line to Port Moody and Coquitlam. That’s the order of priorities for transit line expansion listed in the latest draft of Metro’s new regional growth strategy. Behind Surrey and UBC in the list is enhanced transit to serve White Rock, Maple Ridge, Langley and the North Shore. Surrey Coun. Judy Villeneuve, who sits on the Metro regional planning committee, said the plan’s transit priorities reflect the inadequacy of the network in Surrey and the city’s rapid growth. “I think it’s our turn,” she said. “We’re growing at a very fast pace of 10,000 people per year. We’re the largest school district – we’ve surpassed Vancouver already and
that growth is projected to continue.” TransLink hasn’t yet settled on potential routes in the Surrey area, but a provincial transit plan indicates two main options for study – King George Boulevard to White Rock and 104 Avenue to Guildford then southeast down Fraser Highway to Cloverdale and Langley. A Metro report authored by chief administrator Johnny Carline said expansion in Surrey is “clearly the pressing priority” for the next phase of growth in the region and is important to connect growth areas south of the Fraser to the Surrey Metro Centre designated in the plan. A line all the way to UBC can’t reasonably be viewed as a legitimate use of scarce dollars when improved links are needed to connect major regional centres and shape future growth and transit use, Carline said. The plan does not envision a Surrey expan-
sion with an immediate link south to White Rock. Instead, it says priority-two rapid transit should initially connect Surrey Metro Centre to one or more of the city’s town centres and/or Langley regional city centre. The central Broadway district, now connected north-south by the Canada Line, needs a line east to the rest of the SkyTrain system, it indicates. Other corridors that should get “enhanced transit service” include: • White Rock to other south-of-Fraser urban centres; • North Shore to link municipal town centres there; and • UBC to central Broadway. Over the long term, the plan says those routes may be considered for further upgrades from enhanced transit to rapid transit – either busways or rail – after higher
priority expansion is complete. TransLink, however, contends it should decide the order of expansion, based on a series of studies underway. In a letter to Metro, TransLink board chair Dale Parker said it is “premature” to priorize which rapid transit project should follow the Evergreen Line, citing the need for more dialogue and study findings. Villeneuve cited the success of the Canada Line as evidence south-of-Fraser residents will get out of their cars if new transit lines are built here. Surrey council prefers a light rail system running at grade – rather than more costly SkyTrain technology – because new lines could be built further, quicker. “It’s visually more appealing for people and more accessible,” Villeneuve said, adding councillors will travel in October to study the light rail system in Portland, Ore.

Resident tries to get help for pets � from page 1 But White Rock resident Ruth Carrier said the dog, named Mustang, is friendly. Carrier, who said she was holding Mustang’s leash when he bit the bylaw officer, suggested the officer was at fault for approaching the dog quickly and aggressively in his territory. She said she has interacted with Mustang over the last two years during her walks past the property, and that he was usually leashed outside, with little or no water. “The (inhabitants) never cleaned up the back area. Mustang was just lying there, in the dirt, all the time. I would take a small MilkBone to him, massage him and rub him down. I used to drop by almost every day just to see him,” she said, noting she received permission from the male inhabitants of the house, one who claimed to be Mustang’s owner. Carrier said that when she went to the property last week, Mustang was wandering around alone with no collar or leash, and no one seemed to be home. She said animal control arrived and took the dog away. Since learning Sunday that Mustang was taken to South Surrey’s Silver Birch Kennels, she has visited three times to walk and play with him. While Carrier admits Mustang needs some work, she believes he is trainable. “He really is a very friendly,

Carrier said she was told by animal control last week that the SPCA would be contacted to pick up the rabbit, but Bentley was still there Thursday. “I don’t know who to turn to,” she said of helping both pets. Carrier said she plans to look into a program run out of a
women’s correctional facility in Abbotsford that takes in difficult dogs and socializes them with offenders. The city has also been exploring other options to find a home for Mustang before he is euthanized, according to Stanton. “We’re looking at all possible avenues before we have to take that kind of drastic measure but if it comes to the end of the (10day) period, there’s only so much you can do, especially when you have an animal that has a number of attacks on animals and actually one of the bylaw officers earlier this year.” White Rock Animal Control did not return calls by Peace Arch News deadline.

Pointed lessons about transit
K
wantlen Polytechnic University students have put the transit system to the test, and it has been found sadly wanting. Some Kwantlen students would like to see the U-Pass extended, so they can use transit more extensively. They set up a test last week, to see just how well it would work. One student cycled between the Surrey campus on 72 Avenue in Newton and the Langley campus. Another, an experienced marathoner, laced up and ran the distance. The third student took transit. The cyclist came in first – doing the ride between campuses in 59 minutes. The runner wasn’t too far behind, at one hour and six minutes. Meanwhile, the student using the transit system straggled in third – at one hour and 19 minutes. Kwantlen students will vote on whether to join the U-Pass system in October. Clearly, most students will not be running or cycling between campuses very often. Weather conditions in the winter months can make that very difficult. Yet many will be taking the bus – and this shows just how frustrating an experience that can be. U-Pass or not, a trip that takes close to 90 minutes to cover about 20 kilometres isn’t much of a bargain. The trip between Kwantlen campuses is not an anomaly in the South Fraser region. Despite the fact that residents here pay TransLink gas and property taxes at the same rate as those elsewhere in the Metro Vancouver region, service levels are significantly lower. Semiahmoo Peninsula’s would-be transit users are no strangers to the system’s shortcomings. While it is convenient enough to get to downtown Vancouver, TransLink doesn’t offer nearly enough options for routes even slightly less off the beaten path. (And shoppers at Grandview Corners and Morgan Crossing – not to mention merchants – are still waiting word on when long-promised bus service on the 24 Avenue corridor will be back on the table, linking White Rock to Langley.) Pity the university student who takes classes at multiple campuses. Trying to make it to a class in Langley or Cloverdale by bus – on the same day as taking a class in Richmond – is, at the very least, a trying exercise in patience. Kwantlen students are learning some valuable lessons, and teaching the community some lessons as well. One of those lessons is that transit service in some areas is completely inadequate.

speedy health resolution to those who truly require quick, efficient care. If you don’t believe people do frivolous things, a reading of the call logs made to 911 services is an eye-opener. People tie up the emergency line for ridiculous reasons, including asking for the time, for weather reports, about why traffic is backed up on a particular road, or was that really a spaceship they saw twinkling in the night sky. Meantime, someone with a truly serious report is in danger of not getting the immediate service their situation requires. I’m not advocating a charge to use 911, despite the idiots who abuse it, but I firmly believe there needs to be one for emergency department visits to our hospitals. No one who really needs care will be turned away if they don’t have the necessary fee, but it would discourage those who are there merely for psychological ‘entertainment’. At the same time it would permit the already stretched resources of our medical frontline to more readily provide care for those truly in need. And while we’re at it, perhaps a visitor fee should also be enacted for doctor visits, since each one of them costs our health care system a whack of cash. There are, I’m certain, many arguments against that, but like it or not, unless something is done to eliminate the frivolous, our health care costs will eventually spiral out of sight and out of our ability to financially support the system. Then what? Mark Rushton writes for the Abbotsford News.

Editor: Re: Not high on MLA Hogg, Aug. 27 letters. I take great offence to letter-writer Jean Moffat’s reply to your Aug. 20 editorial about MLA Gordon Hogg, Voice of reason could be at risk. Gordon Hogg and the Hogg family has done more over the years for Peace Arch Hospital than obviously she or 8,000-plus in our SurreyWhite Rock riding know. The family was instrumental in Peace Arch Hospital being here for all to benefit from – even those from Surrey. R. Spier, White Rock ■ It was interesting to read Jean Moffat’s comments on MLA Gordon Hogg. Sad to say, I think most of them, if not all, are true. In addition to his career as a politician, about 20 years ago he held down a regular B.C. government job with corrections, probably doing a not-so-good job in both. It should be an honour and a privilege to be a civil servant. Sad to say, this is lost on MLA Hogg. Lorraine Johnson, White Rock ■ Letter-writer Jean Moffat has clearly never met Gordon Hogg. Her ugly, mud-slinging letter should be put in context with Epcor’s water findings – full of poo! Jacqueline Twa, White Rock ■ So what is new? No B.C. Liberal MLA has dared to stand up and be counted, besides the one mentioned. Personally meeting Gordon Hogg, I found him appealing, but that is within the four walls of his office. Representation is something that is lacking in all our political parties, provincial or federal. They all sing the party tune, collect their monthly pay and add to their pension cheque. We all have to grin and bear it as verbal election promises soon fly again. None will issue a signed commitment, resigning upon failure. We became democratically elected dictatorships from sea to sea to sea. Suan H. Booiman, White Rock
Editor: Last week, our son, Patrick, had an ATV accident, hurt his back and was in desperate need to get to Peace Arch Hospital. He was in pain and completely unable to move. He was able to call the paramedics on his cell phone and explain his situation, and they transported him to the hospital. We were impressed not only with their professionalism and dedication
Ready to get the word out Editor: Your excellent coverage of our water problem highlights the value of a local newspaper. Columnist Frank Bucholtz article (Advisory fails to deliver, Sept. 3) covered the situation. A general proposal for an emergency communications plan is as follows: Establish a system of notification of residents co-ordinated by city hall. Request every condo building – and each private and commercial block – provide a telephone contact person. City hall would provide staff for a command centre to make calls. Those who opt not to participate would have no grounds to complain about slow notice of an emergency. Larry Fagan, White Rock
but their compassion and caring, as well. They stayed with him and looked out for his interests the entire time he was in emergency, where, by the way, he was also well looked after by the Peace Arch hospital staff. So, to “Star” and her crew, our sincere thanks! Chris & Cathy Thornley, White Rock ■ Last month, I tripped on a curb at Russell Avenue and Foster Street, resulting in a crash landing onto concrete – and a dislocated shoulder. I want to express my deepest thanks and gratitude to the emergency response teams and an unknown lady who stayed with me
until they arrived. The ERT are special people who comfort and reassure their patients and follow up once they are taken to the emergency ward at PAH. Thank you all. M. Davidson, White Rock ■ We were helped at the cancer clinic at Surrey Memorial Hospital. The volunteer driver to get us there, the medical people, doctors, nurses, workers, volunteers – it was a total gift! And one realizes that it is a gift to live in a country like Canada and have these services. C. Arnold De Roode, White Rock

Like second-class (non) citizens Editor: Re: Immigration rules fail us, Aug. 20 letters. As a Canadian citizen born in Canada, I wish to exercise my freedom of speech and give my opinions concerning the letter from Denise and Mark Hickman. I think the company that hired Mark Hickman for a lower-than-average rate of pay was remiss in not increasing his salary after a fair evaluation period. In cheating Hickman out of a normal wage, they brought the wrath of the Labour Board down on Hickman’s head. Of course, the Labour Board wants to protect jobs for Canadians, but this mean act demonstrates a lack of human compassion – compassion that our government is giving the Tamil refugees at this very moment! We need more resilient, hard-working immigrants like the Hickman family, responsible law-abiding citizens who pay their bills and obey the laws of Canada. Also, I think it would be better to have a better balance of the different races coming to Canada, from people who espouse the values which the mainstream possesses. Let’s face it, if we bake a cake we need to have a harmony of different ingredients to have a successful finished product. Likewise, choosing immigrants from different lands. I think it would be more harmonious and democratic if we allowed in more than mainly one nationality from abroad who have free access to our taxsupported social services network. If our government is unwilling to change the immigration laws to reflect the wishes of the majority of our taxpayers, then it is time for a change of politicians. In the meantime, I think we should honour our commitments and let the Tamils stay, but our immigration laws should then be amended to better represent the just, future policies that would ensure a more democratic and financially sensible choice of immigrants to our shores. Ann Reykdal Robertson, Surrey ■ I have known the Hickman family since last fall. Their youngest daughter attends my daycare. This little five-year-old has even taught me a few new words. I never knew a shopping cart is called a trolley or a BandAid is a plaster. It would be hard to find a more loving, tight-knit family. All three daughters are extremely polite, bright and friendly. They always bring a smile to my face. Now, I find out that this wonderful family may have to
leave Canada. I don’t understand. If they’ve already paid for the Canadian Experience Class and additional funds for an extension, why can’t they stay in Canada? Why are they being told their extension will be refused? Sending this family back to England will only disrupt the children’s education and destroy everything they’ve worked so hard for these past three years. I immigrated from the U.S. in 1994. Fortunately, my husband was able to sponsor me. However, I still remember the day my then-husband-to-be and I went to pick up paperwork to apply for a visa. The immigration officer said, “Congratulations and good luck. We’re not at war with the U.S. and you are not a refugee.” Meanwhile, the Tamil immigrants who come here without any type of paperwork or sponsorship are brought in, sheltered, fed and provided with free legal consul and medical care. Not so for the rest of us. It’s frustrating to see one group or individual given benefits that others are not. The Hickmans are the kind of family anyone would be lucky to have for a friend or neighbour. They’re the kind of people we need in our community and in our country. Trish D’Haese, White Rock ■ In November 2007, our family had the wonderful opportunity to meet the Hickman family. As far as we are concerned, after they arrived from Birmingham they have done everything legal and proper to get their landed-immigrant papers in order. They have made a new life here and would be in a desperate situation if they were to have to return to England. There is no work, no home, and they would probably end up on the dole, as it were. We thought our countries were a “Commonwealth.” This young family who came here legally and through the front door are being treated with a blasé attitude by the supposed powers that be. Yet, possible terrorists or criminals can come in illegally or through the back door and be treated with kid gloves. The people who have done everything right should be taken care of first. Our country consists of all different nationalities, and that’s what makes us so well-liked around the world. Let’s take care of business properly and let this honest, hardworking young family welcome into our fold as per their dreams and wishes. Diane Johnson and Dan Bobrownik, Surrey

Camera missing Four Peninsula elementary school students who spent the summer writing a script and filming their own movie are hoping the missing camera that contained all of their footage will be turned in. White Rock resident Darcie Gareau – mother to two of the children who created and acted in the film – said the kids took the camera to Crescent Park Sept. 5, and set it down to watch a cricket game. After leaving without it, they returned 15 minutes later to find the camera gone. Gareau said the cricket players and bystanders didn’t
notice anything, and a description of the camera left with RCMP and the city hasn’t turned up anything. Gareau estimated the children spent up to 30 hours writing and rehearsing the movie – based on their favourite characters from books – and four days filming. They planned to surprise their parents with a screening of it, once it was complete. “They’re quite devastated,” Gareau said. “They were really looking forward to getting everybody to sit down and watch it and surprise them with everything they had done.”

Liberals deny stalling bill Jeff Nagel Black Press
Liberal MLAs who sit on a committee weighing B.C.’s first successful citizens’ initiative want more information from B.C.’s chief electoral officer before deciding whether to send a proposed HST-repealing bill to the legislature or hold a referendum. Eric Foster (Vernon-Monashee) said he wants to know more precisely how much a referendum might cost and perhaps other answers, such as whether additional questions could be put to the electorate. “I want to make sure I’ve got all my facts straight before I vote,” Foster said as the committee convened Tuesday. “The purpose of this is not to stretch this out. I want to clear this up as quicky as we possibly can.”
NDP MLA Jenny Kwan (Vancouver-Mt. Pleasant) proposed the select standing committee on government initiatives send the bill to dismantle the harmonized sales tax on to the legislature for a free vote at the earliest opportunity. Liberals on the committee used their 5-4 majority to put the brakes on that idea until answers can be gathered to questions. Liberals, including Foster and Surrey-Tynehead MLA Dave Hayer, said they want a speedy resolution to the issue. But Kwan wasn’t convinced. “The last thing this committee needs to do is engage in delaying tactics,” she said. The wrangling centred on whether acting Chief Electoral Officer Craig James could simply appear at the committee or whether a clerk must act as gobetween, sending questions and
bringing back answers. “We may as well bring our sleeping bags, we’re going to be here for quite some time,” said Port Coquitlam MLA Mike Farnworth, noting each answer could easily spawn more questions. After an hour of debate, the committee was advised James can appear directly before them. MLAs unanimously voted to adjourn until 1 p.m. Monday, Sept. 13. Committee chair Terry Lake, Liberal MLA for KamloopsNorth Thompson, admitted the issue is straightforward – there are only two possible options – but said the process may be “excruciating” for observers. The committee has 90 days from receipt of the petition to decide what to do. A referendum, if called, would be non-binding and held in September 2011.
HST results in less spending: survey Seventy-one per cent of B.C. residents surveyed in an Angus Reid poll released last weeksay they’re buying less as a result of the Harmonized Sales Tax. More than two-thirds of B.C. respondents said the HST has severely or moderately harmed their household finances, citing higher costs of dining, groceries, cellphone bills and clothing. Only one in 20 people polled believe government projections of lower prices over time as a result of the 12 per cent HST, which replaced the GST and
provincial sales tax on July 1. Angus Reid officials say the negative view of the HST appears to run deeper in B.C. than Ontario. The pollsters’ cite the “palpable” animosity in B.C., where they found 75 per cent feel the government did a very bad job of handling the HST. The Aug. 16-17 online survey included 803 B.C. residents and a similar number in Ontario. The margin of error is estimated at plus or minus 3.5 per cent. – Jeff Nagel

LOSE WEIGHT PERMANENTLY! STOP SMOKING FOREVER! Change Your Life Easily & Effortlessly With HYPNOSIS! Eric Penman was just 15 years old when hypnotherapy changed his life for the better. All it took was just a short session for a hypnotist to cure him of the bed wetting problem that had plagued him for years. Now at age 70, Eric looks back at the session as a stepping stone towards a fulfilling career as a Certified Practical Hypnotherapist. Eric, who also has obtained a BA in Psychology from Laurentian, has been using hypnosis to cure the unsolvable problems of thousands of clients of all ages for more than 50 years. Are you wanting to lose weight for the upcoming holiday season? Eric can help. After decades of providing hypnotherapy to thousands of clients, he has been able to develop and fine tune a weight loss program that works. “It has helped thousands of people become wonderfully fit and trim and remain fit and trim for the rest of their lives,” says Eric of his permanent weight loss program, which can be purchased at the White Rock Wellness Centre along with his CD on smoking cessation and insomnia. “My book, which can be purchased separately from the White Rock Wellness Centre, is an integral part of the program. It provides all of the information you need to individualize a plan you can enthusiastically accept. It deals with all of the misinformation as well as all of the triggers that are making you or have been keeping you overweight.” The easy to read chapters are non-
technical and ffull off common sense. Emotional eating, binge eating, cravings, food choices, eating schedules, depression, exercise and many other topics provide you all of the information you need. After deciding on a program that fits your lifestyle, Eric will show you how to affirm your plan. He’ll then deposit your plan deep down in your subconscious, allowing you to automatically follow your plan with enthusiasm. “You will be amazed how hypnosis is the magic ingredient that makes the difference. It allows you to discover the beautiful fit and trim person you have been hiding from yourself, no will-power required,” says Eric
matter-of-factly. In addition to helping men and women shed unwanted pounds, Eric has helped countless clients to kick the nicotine habit for good. “All it takes is just one session and you’ll never have another craving for cigarettes,” assures Eric. “It sounds hard to believe but it works so well I guarantee it!” Eric also has extensive experience curing all kinds of phobias, putting a stop to bed wetting, sports enhancement, painless child birth and much more. His high success rate, vast experience and gentle professional manner has earned him the reputation of being one of the top, most effective hypnotherapists in the country. The retired grandfather recently moved with his wife from Vernon, where he ran his practice for the past seven years, to be closer to their grandchildren who live in White Rock. Last month he joined the team of therapists and natural health practitioners at the White Rock Wellness Centre on 1493 Johnston Road, where he continues to offer his hypnotherapy services. Eric says he looks forward to meeting new clients and helping them to change their lives for the better with the healing power of hypnosis. “I know there are many people out there who are skeptical of the process, but I am living proof that it does work. It is 100 per cent effective.” For more information about Eric or his products, or to make an appointment visit www.ericpenman.com or call 604-541-6110.

A 68-year-old South Surrey woman was taken to hospital after a Ford Focus crashed through the front of Never E’nuff Clothes Tuesday morning.
Car crashes into store Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
South Surrey store owner Carole Hecht has one request of shoppers planning to visit her Peninsula Village location in the future: “Please, no more drive-in customers.� Though made facetiously, the comment did not come from thin air. It followed an incident Tuesday in which a car was unintentionally driven through the front window of Hecht’s Never E’nuff Clothes. Hecht wasn’t at the store at the time, but said staff described “just an awful squealing, breaking glass and then all of a sudden there was a car in the store.� Police responded to the 590-15355 24 Ave. store around 11:30 a.m. Sept. 7. According to reports, the driver of a black Ford Focus was trying to park in a stall in front of the store when the vehicle somehow jumped the curb and plowed through the window, coming to rest about three feet into the facade. Hecht said her staff reported the driver had one foot on the gas and one on the brake, noted when one of them approached the car, its tires still
squealing, to try and get the driver to turn off the engine. The driver, a 68-year-old South Surrey woman, told police “that the vehicle would not stop,� said Surrey RCMP Const. Peter Neily. “The vehicle and building suffered, it looks like, extensive damage.� The driver was taken to hospital as a precaution, Neily said, adding charges in connection with the incident are not likely. Hecht couldn’t estimate the value of damage to her store, but said it will take at least three weeks to get back to normal. The front window, metal framework, brickwork and drywall were all damaged, as were two mannequins and store merchandise. Hecht said it’s fortunate no one was hurt in the crash. One of her staff had just changed a piece in the display window just a minute before the car came through. “We were extremely lucky there was no injury,� she said. The incident was the first of its kind in Hecht’s 14 years owning the store. Though boarded up, it remains open for business, Hecht said. She is planning to offer some crash-inspired deals.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
Local woman raises puppies destined to help
Paws and effect Tracy Holmes & Rebecca Edwards

n assistance dog raised on the Semiahmoo Peninsula will be a loyal companion to an autistic boy in southeastern B.C. and give his parents peace of mind while walking with him in public. Cookie, a two-year-old female black Labrador, arrived at the Sparwood home of Chris and Jackie Carpenter last month, after more than a year learning social skills with South Surrey’s Wendy Caywood. “Cookie was lovely to train… just a gentle soul,” Caywood recalled as she kept an eye on 14-week-old Jacuzzi, another black Lab destined to help others. When Cookie – who was provided to the Carpenters by B.C. Guide Dog Services – is at home in Sparwood, she will be a normal pet. But when out walking with Jackie and her six-year-old son, Tyler, the autism service dog

will be tethered to the youngster to stop him from running into danger. “Tyler doesn’t usually run off but he does like to be in front and ahead of us,” said Jackie. “He will be buckled to Cookie and I will be behind giving her commands. If he bolts, she would sit and stop him from getting away until I can get to him. “We hope she will also be a companion for him and be a familiar thing so that we can take him to more new situations and places. He is already showing signs of bonding with her – kissing her and stroking her.” Cookie was the fourth puppy Caywood’s raised for the B.C. Guide Dog Service since 2004. She got into the volunteer role after retiring as a librarian. She learned of the opportunity about a year earlier, through a friend who Rebecca Edwards photo brought a puppy she was Cookie will help Jackie Carpenter raising for the program over cross the road safely with her six-year- to play with Caywood’s golden old autistic son, Tyler. retriever.

Caywood – and several others on the Peninsula – takes in puppies when they are about seven weeks old and raises them until they reach 16 months of age. During that time, she must introduce her charges to every possible situation – from grocery shopping, walking in the city and riding escalators to library visits and concerts. Last month, Jacuzzi – who Caywood was looking after for a few days, while the pup’s foster family was out of town – attended Crescent United Church with Caywood. It wasn’t the first time she has brought a canine friend to the service, and the dogs are always well-received, she said. “The congregation is used to the odd yip – or yawn,” Caywood quipped. Trainer Jaime Arnup, who taught Carpenter to work with Cookie, said all guide dogs begin with the same training at seven weeks. They are given specialties later on according to their progress. Cookie is one of around a dozen autism service dogs trained since the program began two years ago.
“They are taught to stay on the sidewalk, to stop at roads, not to pull or get distracted by other dogs or people, and to obey commands,” Arnup said. “In public places like restaurants they are trained to stay quietly out of the way, not to beg or get distracted by smells and sounds.” Service dogs, identified when they are out in public by a blue B.C. Guide Dog Service coat, are allowed to go anywhere with their human matches. Arnup said she has seen great benefits for familes who get an autism dog. “The main thing is safety – often, when a child tries to bolt and isn’t able to, they give up trying. There are therapeutic benefits of interacting with the dog. I have seen some children start saying things or sounds they never said before getting a dog.” Caywood, too, knows the difference a service dog can make. “It really does change a blind person’s life to have a dog,” she said. “For a family of a child with autism, it’s equally life-changing.
DREAM BIG...WIN BIG
And while it is easy to get attached to the puppies in the program, Caywood said saying goodbye to the dogs is not as difficult as some people think. There is great satisfaction is knowing the dogs will give someone security they may have never experienced before. “It’s like sending your kids off to college… a great sense of pride.” For more information about B.C.

The White Rock Rotary Book Sale, held Saturday outside the club’s Field House, attracted a crowd of book worms who were quick to scoop up the bargains.
Cyclists to ride for B.C. Lung Association More than 300 cyclists will pace off from Hazelmere RV Park & Campground Saturday on a twoday trek to raise money for the B.C. Lung Association. Participants in the 26th Bicycle Trek for Life & Breath will ride from South Surrey to Cultus
Lake and back – 200 kilometres – finishing at the 18843 8 Ave. park Sunday afternoon. ‘Trekkers’ range in age from 13 to 81. Nearly 60 per cent of this year’s participants are event veterans. More than 40 riders are doing the trek for the 10th time;
others have done it more than 20 times, each time committing to raise at least $425 for the cause. In its 26-year history, the event has raised nearly $5 million for medical research, education programs and patient support activities.

Festive fundraiser
More than 200 people were treated to a Polynesian-themed barbecue at White Rock and South Surrey Chamber of Commerce’s annual fundraiser last month. The 73rd anniversary event was held Aug. 25 at Camp Alexandra in Crescent Beach, where performers with Paul Tavai-Latta Polynesian Dancers and Co. interacted with chamber members and guests. “All of our directors were involved on a volunteer basis and they did the barbecuing and manned the bar and helped on other activities,” chamber executive director Doug Hart said. “We felt it was very, very successful, especially with the weather we had.” Hart said proceeds will go towards the chamber’s operations.

At 25, I felt old, sick, and tired. I was taking three medications, was very inactive and felt I was missing out on life. Puget Sound Surgical Center helped me see that weight loss surgery was a realistic and healthy option with their help, I realized I could achieve my goals and lost over 100 lbs. after surgery. I’m so pleased with the care I’ve received at PSSC — the education, encouragement, and accountability they offer has helped me achieve the success that I have. Now I enjoy running and living an active lifestyle...I’m so thankful I’m able to experience life now! Before… Hillary, August 2010

CITY NEWS NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGS - SEPTEMBER 20,2010 NOTICE is hereby given that the Council of the City of White Rock will hold Public Hearings in the City Hall COUNCIL CHAMBERS, 15322 Buena Vista Avenue, White Rock, BC, on Monday September 20, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. in accordance with the Local Government Act. At the Public Hearings, all persons who deem their interest in property is affected by the proposed bylaws shall be afforded an opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions reflecting matters contained in the bylaws that are the subject of the Public Hearings. 1) BYLAW 1874: “Official Community Plan Amendment No. 5, 2009 No. 1874” APPLICANT: The City of White Rock CIVIC ADDRESS: Large Lot Infill Area: specified properties within the block of South of North Bluff Road and North of Thrift and East of Finlay Street and West of Kent Street: (See Map 1, only the properties noted in dark, heavy outline are the subject of Bylaw No. 1874) PURPOSE: The purpose of Bylaw 1874 is to amend the Official Community Plan, 2008 for the City of White Rock. This is an amendment to establish specific policies and development permit guidelines to ensure that large lot infill redevelopment on the east side of White Rock takes place in the defined area in a planned manner. Infill redevelopment includes narrow lot subdivisions and street front townhouses of a low density nature. It also may include low profile apartments at low densities adjacent to North Bluff Road. The policies and guidelines are also intended to provide direction and certainty to the process, to enhance the general character of the area in the neo-traditional style, and to otherwise minimize adverse impact on traffic, on-street parking, and on service capacities.

3) BYLAW 1889:
“White Rock Zoning Bylaw 1999, No. 1591, Amendment (RM-2 - 1325, 1333 Winter Street & 15133, 15141 Roper Avenue) Bylaw, 2010, No. 1889” APPLICANT: Listraor Group of Companies CIVIC ADDRESS: 15141/15133 Roper Avenue and 1325/1333 Winter Street (See Map 3, the properties noted within dark, heavy outline are the subject of Bylaw No. 1889) PURPOSE: The purpose of Bylaw 1889 is to amend the White Rock Zoning Bylaw 1999, No. 1591 to rezone 15133/15141 Roper Avenue and 1325/1333 Winter Street to RM-2 (Medium-Density Apartment Residential Zone) to permit a 3 storey, 27 unit residential apartment building.
MAP 3 MAP 1
2) BYLAW 1887:
“Official Community Plan Amendment No. 6 (Everall Neighbourhood Area), 2010, No. 1887” APPLICANT: The City of White Rock CIVIC ADDRESS: Everall Neighbourhood Area: South of North Bluff Road to North of Thrift Avenue and East of Oxford Street and West of Vidal Street (See Map 2, the properties noted within dark, heavy outline are the subject of Bylaw No. 1887) PURPOSE: The purpose of Bylaw 1887 is to amend the Official Community Plan, 2008 for the City of White Rock. This amendment is intended to include new policies into the OCP for the Everall Neighbourhood Area to: • require development proposals to consider the preservation of existing mature trees; • to identify that proposals be “site-specifically zoned” wherein resulting densities will be a function of each site; • efforts and opportunities to preserve existing mature trees, and how proposals fit into the character of the area; • require that other zone provisions such as building heights, lot coverage and property line setbacks will also be a function of the merits of each specific site, with the overall objective of retaining as many mature trees as possible; and • identify that succession planning will also be an important consideration, to seek a balance between preserving existing mature trees and the planting of new trees, so that over time new trees are maturing and replacing the older mature trees.
Should you have any comments or concerns you wish to convey to Council and you cannot attend the public hearing, please submit in writing to the City Clerk by 4:30 p.m., Monday, September 20, 2010. You may forward your submissions by: • mailing or delivering to the City Clerk’s Office at White Rock City Hall, 15322 Buena Vista Avenue, White Rock, B.C.

Copies of the proposed bylaws along with associated reports may be inspected in the City Clerk’s Office at White Rock City Hall, 15322 Buena Vista Avenue, White Rock, BC, from Monday, August 9, 2010 to Monday, September 20, 2010, between the hours of 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., excluding weekends and statutory holidays.

Weekend Road Closures To help keep the fun moving at the White Rock BIA Annual Block Party, road closures will be in effect from 7 a.m. – 6 p.m. on Saturday, September 11, along Russell Avenue between George Street and the White Rock Community Centre. Parking access for the White Rock Community Centre will be available off of Foster Street (to the underground parking lot) and off of Thrift Avenue for parking along the Mews (directly outside of the centre).
New bicycle stencils have been placed on several streets as a reminder to share the road.
WHITE ROCK FIREFIGHTERS SHORE-2-SHORE On Tuesday, September 21, head on down to west beach to cheer on our very own White Rock Firefighters as they cycle home from their crossCanada journey for VARIETY, the children’s charity! Their estimated arrival time is at 3:00 p.m. at the White Rock Museum Building. Be sure to check out their blog at http://wrfrcharity.blogspot.com/ to learn all about their journey.
Bicycle stencils placed in the middle of travel lanes along bicycle routes are meant to clearly indicate to drivers and cyclists that they are to share the lane. This is done where there is not sufficient width to have a dedicated bicycle lane at the side of the road, with the bicycle stencil within the dedicated bicycle lane. The share the road bicycle stencil in the middle of the travel lane is common practice throughout many Lower Mainland municipalities and a great reminder to share the road.

Metro mulls park changes Jeff Nagel Black Press
Metro Vancouver may open the region’s parks to more commercial businesses that could charge visitors to use zip lines, water slides, dog wash stations or other new amenities. The concept may bring big changes to Tynehead Regional Park in northeast Surrey or Aldergrove Lake Regional Park in Langley, among others. The move is being championed by parks committee chair and Langley City Coun. Gayle Martin, who sees potential to offer more enhanced services while using fee revenue to reduce the burden of park operations on regional taxpayers. “We know there’s probably going to be some backlash, but we have to handle that,” Martin said. “We’re not going to desecrate a park to put an enhanced service in it.” A zip line may be a great opportunity at Tynehead, Martin said. And a water park might be one potential option to replace manmade Aldergrove Lake, which the region has been advised to drain because of leaks. Parks with dog zones, including Tynehead, could be equipped with a canine swimming lake and dog-washing area, she added. “How or even if we’d charge for that, I don’t know,” Martin said, but suggested there may be strong demand from dog owners. Coffee shops or concession stands could pair up with other amenities Private investors could even be recruited to build new fishing piers along some water bodies, she

said, noting some U.S. parks have such sites with complete rentals of fishing tackle and bait. The ideas go well beyond the pay-peruse amenities now in Metro regional parks, such as Brae Island campground. Pitt Meadows Mayor Don MacLean said he’s somewhat concerned about affordability for families. “If you take someone into the park and say ‘OK, we have zip lines and we have boat rides,’ the kid wants all of those,” he said. “And it places stress on the parents to be able to pay for them.” MacLean doesn’t outright reject new services and revenue possibilities, but said he will be on guard against any move to add gate fees to enter parks or put significant swaths off limits to free use. “I’d like to think you could go and put a couple of picnic benches together and have your kid’s birthday in a regional park and not have to pay anything for it,” he said. Some activities make sense, he said. “People don’t always have their own canoe or have a zip line in their backyard.” MacLean predicted such opportunities won’t come to places like Pacific Spirit Regional Park, noting a group of Vancouver west side activists would swiftly mobilize. Instead, he sees the focus being on parks further east, particularly ones frequented by many families and where “environmental sensitivities aren’t as strong.” Martin said she recognizes the � see page 22

Zip lines considered � from page 21 affordability issue. “Obviously we want to keep our parks open to as many people as we can,” she said, but added it’s been several years since Metro rethought its park services. Metro previously considered, but then abandoned, ideas like a golf academy at Tynehead. “The zip line challenge course would be less intrusive on the park than a golf course, where you might have to cut down every tree that is there,” Martin said. A couple of privately run zip lines now exist in the region, including on Grouse Mountain and one in Maple Ridge. Martin and Bowen Island representative Peter Frinton recently toured a pay-to-enter regional park with various amenities in South Carolina’s Charleston County. MacLean said he declined to go on the “junket.” The South Carolina offerings included a water park for kids, rentable gazebos for birthday parties and a

bar that offered “Yappy Hour” cocktails to dog owners visiting the off-leash park. A staff report to the parks committee also notes options, including climbing walls, rental of heritage buildings and in-park “outdoor learning centres.” The report says the central question is whether park users are willing to pay for more services. Martin said Metro will likely convene a panel to consider options. The committee direction to “authorize exploration of a fullrange of enhanced park services that could be offered” must be approved by the full Metro board later this month.

Sockeye fishing cut to protect coho Jeff Nagel Black Press
Most commercial fishing of this year’s record run of Fraser River sockeye salmon has been halted to conserve much smaller runs of coho salmon and steelhead that could be dangerously weakened by further harvesting. In a typical year, most sockeye migrate before the coho, but late-run sockeye – which account for three-quarters of the massive 2010 run – come back at the same time, mingled with their scarce relatives. Heavy fishing for sockeye from this point on could kill unacceptable numbers of coho, which number just 30,000, according to federal fisheries officials. All fishing in the Fraser below the Mission Bridge ended by 7 a.m. Tuesday and more of the river upstream is to be closed over the next couple of days. Fishery managers estimate this year’s catch by all sectors will total around 11 million sockeye out of an estimated run of 34.5 million – the strongest in nearly 100 years. Up to 15 million late-run sockeye have been delaying in the Strait of Georgia and are destined for the Shuswap Lake/Adams River areas. “They’re starting to move into the river, coming in at a rate of 400,000 to 500,000 a day,” said Barry Rosenberger, Interior B.C. area director for Fisheries and Oceans
Canada. That’s great news for sports anglers, who are allowed to continue recreational fishing for sockeye until Sept. 19. Commercial fishing advocates argue their season is being cut off too early. Conservative MP John Cummins (DeltaRichmond East) criticized what he called the extreme move to shut down fishing to protect “the last of these weak stocks.” Commercial fishing boats are equipped with revival boxes they must use to store, revive and release coho they accidentally catch, he noted. Cummins argued First Nations fisheries don’t use revival boxes and often set their nets for much longer – with a higher kill rate – than commercial boats. Fishermen are angry because First Nations, including the Sto:lo and Katzie, were allowed to continue fishing Tuesday. “It’s galling to the commercial guys who are standing on the beach watching,” Cummins said. But Sto:lo fishery adviser Ernie Crey said Cummins is wrong – aboriginal fishing below the Mission Bridge is also cut off now. The closures are to extend up to Hope by Thursday and to Yale Saturday, as coho migrate inland. Some commercial fishing for sockeye by seiners and trollers is continuing in ocean areas where coho aren’t expected to be found.

Peninsula dancer finalist in So You Think You Can Dance Canada
Local contestant’s fans show their support Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter
Dozens of people gathered at Ocean Park Village Pub during last week’s airing of So You Think You Can Dance Canada to watch the televised performance of contestant Nathalie Heath and cheer on the Earl Marriott Secondary grad. Around 50 of Heath’s fans watched the television show on the pub’s big screen TV, and were treated to complimentary appetizers donated by the owner. Pub general manager Josh Haxton – whose wife, Brooke, is friends with Heath – said the screening night created “a lot more interest for next Monday.” Heath made the cut in the Sept. 6 episode, which saw the Top 18 pared down to 16 contestants.
She and the other finalists will now perform Sept. 13, and the results will be revealed the following evening. Fans of Heath are invited to show their support Sept. 13 at 8 p.m. at the pub, 12822 16 Ave. Haxton said last week’s team of supporters – called Team Babesa – created shirts and a special menu in Heath’s honour. After the show, people called in on their cellphones to cast their vote for the 23-year-old. “It was an awesome night,” Haxton said. “It was such a huge success.” The gathering will be held every Monday that Heath is still competing in the contest, Haxton said, noting he is in talks with CTV to have a camera crew come to the pub and film a live shot of the crowd to be aired during one of the shows. Anybody is welcome to attend this Monday’s event, he said, and more T-shirts with “Bring the Heath” printed on them are to be handed out. For more information, call 778-990-1610.

ever underestimate the power of a grandmother. She can insinuate her influence with the raise of an eyebrow or an oblique but telling anecdote from a lifetime of experience. No longer worried about what people may think, she can also make her presence felt with a bald, even outrageous, statement that can make one wonder ‘what on earth is Gran on about?’ – only to find out later that she was right on the mark. Crescent Beach artist and dancer Elizabeth Carefoot and Ocean Park writer and poet Virginia Gillespie aren’t likely to underestimate grandmothers; Carefoot is a proud grandmother herself, and Gillespie is, as she says “a step-grandmother,” which, in life and experience, amounts to the same thing. Their combined exhibition Agents of Transformation (Sept. 16 - Nov. 1, Amelia Douglas Gallery, Douglas College, New Westminster) is subtitled Reclaiming the Power of Grandmothers. And in its collection of Shamanic robes, ‘altar’ boxes, staffs and rattles created by Carefoot, and in the poetry and narratives they inspired in Gillespie, the show is a tribute to strong-willed women in their own lineage, the extreme and rugged terrains that shaped them and the folklore they handed down to other generations.

Quartered’s lead singer Greg Williams, guitarists Todd Sanft and Jeff Wang, bassist Craig Rudder and drummer Scott Miller are back from their tour. back into town every year. But in Asia, they’re just beginning to get an influx of bands. For them to see any band – whether it’s huge or not – they’re just so excited and appreciative.” The subsequent Canadian tour in July made Quartered’s
11-day trip to the Phillipines look like a vacation, in contrast Rudder said. “We ended up doing 13 shows in 30 days, driving all the way to Montreal in a 12-seater van,” Rudder said. “It actually brought us closer together. We weren’t pulling a trailer,
so we had all our gear piled up right at our backs. “You get used to it – and used to each other. It solidified everything we do and made everything that much tighter.” For more information on upcoming dates, visit www.myspace. com/quartered

� from page 26 the Phillipines: three bar shows, a mall show and the Hard Rock Cafe in Manila. But the best test of their success was receiving an invitation to come back for the Summer Slam next year – and perhaps tour even further in Southeast Asia – Rudder said. The trip also paid off for the dynamic of the band, he added. “It brought us closer together. And it showed us what’s out there, outside of North America. “The metal scene in Asia is huge. In Canada we’re so over-satiated with music. You can pretty much see your favourite band coming

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
Olympian Christine Girard and Katelynn Williams prepare for pair of international events
Weightlifting duo set for world stage Nick Greenizan
C
Sports Reporter
hristine Girard is no stranger to the spotlight, no shrinking violet in the pressure-cooker that is the world stage. In fact, the 25-year-old weightlifter seems to thrive on it, having finished fourth at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing – just two missed clean-and-jerk lifts away from the podium. This month, the native of Rouyn-Noranda, Que. – who moved to White Rock last year when her fiance, an RCMP member, was transfered here – will begin her quest for another Olympic ❝I usually berth when perform pretty she competes well under at the World Championships pressure, so in Turkey. I just keep “I’m used to (big events) and reminding the pressure… myself of that.❞ and World Katelynn Williams Championships weightlifter are a qualifier for the Olympics, so it’s important to do well,” she said, adding that worlds are actually more difficult to win than the Olympics. “At worlds, there are more countries competing, and each country can send seven weightlifters, and at Olympics only four.” Girard won’t be the only Peninsula lifter in Turkey, either – she’ll be joined by Katelynn Williams, who was originally an alternate for the team before being told just a few weeks ago that she was in. They leave Sept. 17. Both train with Dieter Stamm’s Semi Weightlifting Club, which operates out of Semiahmoo Secondary. After World Championships, both lifters will travel to Delhi, India for the Commonwealth Games, which is prestigious in its own right, although not an Olympic qualifier. The World Championships end Sept. 27, and Commonwealth

Games go Oct. 1-14. Girard, who is nationally carded – meaning she receives government funding to train and compete – and considered Canada’s top female lifter, won a silver medal at the 2006
Commonwealth Games in Australia, setting a new clean-andjerk record in the process. But while Girard is no stranger to international competition, the next month is a new frontier for 21-year-old Williams, whose
biggest competition to date was Junior World Championships in Prague in 2007, where she finished 11th. “It was a pretty big surprise – a nice surprise,” she said of being selected to compete at worlds.
“But I’m nervous – really nervous, actually. I just want to go out there and do my best, but I really don’t know what to expect.” Williams said having Girard to lean on for advice has been a huge help to her as she prepares for a whirlwind month. “Christine has been absolutely wonderful,” Williams said. “It’s been so great to have someone like that around – she’s given me advice on everything from lifting staying calm and focused – even how to pack for the trip.” Part of Williams’ apprehension, she admits, stems from the fact that she is still working her way back from injury – she tore ligaments in her elbow and missed a year of lifting. And though she’s been back training since August of last year, she hasn’t quite equalled the weights she lifted pre-injury. “I haven’t hit those weights in awhile, so that makes me a little nervous, but I’m just going to go out and do my best,” she said. “But I usually perform pretty well under pressure, so I just keep reminding myself of that.”

Titan squads hit gridiron The minor football season began with a bang last weekend, with the White Rock-South Surrey Titans hosting six games last Sunday, while the club’s midget squad hit the field in Mission. The midget Titans opened the Vancouver Mainland Football League season with a 17-14 loss to Mission, despite a two-touchdown performance from Willie Watson. At South Surrey Athletic Park, the day began with White Rock’s flag division White Titans battling to a 12-12 tie with the Cloverdale Pumas. Oraine Scott scored two TDs for the Titans, while Tajin Rai and Nolan McAdam also found the end zone. Sammy Adrain scored all four Puma touchdowns, and nearly had a fifth on the final play of the game, but White Rock’s Jordan Gazzola made a gamesaving stop on Adrain on the one-yard line. White Rock’s other flag team, the Blue Titans, won their opener Sunday, with a
9-3 decision over the South Delta Rams. White Rock TDs came from Jakob Davies, Beckham Dickie and Reid Turner. In atom action, the White Titans lost 60-0 to the Cloverdale Lions. The Titans had strong showings from Garrett Davis, Ivan Rojas, Andrew Hunt and Sam Brown. The Blue Titans were also held scoreless in atom action, losing 20-0 to South Delta. White Rock’s top performers in the loss were Brian Tung, Isaac Wilson, Mathrew Malczewski and Alisha JeysMorrison. In peewee action, Michael Dowhaniuk began his peewee career with a five-touchdown performance in a 39-19 victory over the Burnaby Lions. Valen Garcia, on a 70-yard run, also scored for White Rock, while Cameron Roberson, Ethan Figueroa and Tyrese Jeys-Morrison also had strong games. Rounding out the day were the junior bantam Titans, who lost 24-16 to the South Delta Rams.
Semi opens strong Labour Day weekend was a successful one for a handful of Semiahmoo Soccer teams that took to the field for the start of the fall season. In the U10 division, Semiahmoo placed third in the Ladner Mini-Tournament, while the Semi Selects U11 B team placed well against Select A squads at Langley’s annual Labour Day event. In U12 action, Semi’s Select 2 side finished second in round-robin action at the Surrey United Tournament, while the U13 Semi Attack captured top spot in the aforementioned Langley tournament. In U13 gold, the Semiahmoo Rock were second in the Coquitlam Metro Ford Tournament, while Semi Adrenaline – a U14 gold team – were second in Langley. Other teams to find the podium at Langley’s Labour Day classic were the Semiahmoo Force (first place, U15 gold division), Semiahmoo
Thrashers (third, U17 gold), Semi Vipers (second, U17 silver) and Semi Wave (second, U18 gold). Also, in U15 Metro action, the Semiahmoo Storm played the Washington state champions to a draw in Tukwila, Wash.

Bayside to go young this fall The Vancouver Rugby Union’s fall season is set to kick off this weekend, and for the second consecutive year, the Bayside Sharks will field a U24 prospects team in the Lower Mainland Spray League’s men’s elite division. The young Sharks – who will be coached this season by premier team regular Brendan Singbeil – begin play Saturday, when they host the UBC Old Boys Ravens at South Surrey Athletic Park. Game time is 2:45 p.m. Prior to the elite-division tilt, the Sharks first
division team will play the Ravens at 1 p.m., also at SSAP. Like the elites, Bayside’s first division team this fall will also be primarily a U24 squad, with a few older players sprinkled in to fill out the roster. Like last season, the Sharks will field its top men’s team in the spring premier league. Because all teams qualify for the premier loop regardless of fall-league performance, Bayside – like many other teams – chooses to give its older players a half-season off.

Q
After a two year lawsuit, I was successful in getting judgment against a person that I sued. The judgment has now been signed by the judge and led in court. I have written to the person I sued about payment and received no answer. Doesn’t the court enforce my order? No. Nothing happens in court without a person initiating it. Your remedies include registering the judgment against a property that the other person owns and taking steps to have the property sold to pay your judgment; garnisheeing a bank account of the person; seizing an asset such as a car or truck owned by the person and obtaining an order that the person be examined under oath about his or her asssets and income, which may be available to satisfy your judgment. All of these are court procedures that you must initiate. Sometimes the process of collecting on the judgment is as much trouble as suing for the amount due to you.
We’ve got some TLC for you.

OBITUARIES
“In loving memory of Douglas Guittard, September 12, 1989.
Ursula (Sulla) Furneaux (nee Campbell)
Let me tell you a secret about a father’s love. A secret that my daddy said was just between us. He said that daddies don’t just love their children every now and then. It’s a love with out end, amen, it’s a love without end, amen. 21 years have passed since we said goodbye, but your love still lives on. Love and miss you forever, Dad.”
It is with a profound sense of loss that we announce the gentle passing of Sulla Furneaux. Left to lovingly remember and celebrate her life are Stuart, her devoted husband of 68 years; brother, George Campbell of Leduc, AB; daughter Gloria (Rob) Slade; son, Larry; granddaughters Karen (Michael) Hoff and Linda Hutchinson; great-grandchildren Ryan, Trevor, Devon and Hannah. By example, she taught us all the importance and value of family, and service to others. A woman of great faith and many gifts, most especially her ability to make everyone feel loved and accepted, she is now safe in the waiting arms of her Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Memorial service to be held at 2:00 p.m, Thursday, Sept. 16th, at White Rock Baptist Church, 1657 - 140th Street, Surrey. Reception to follow. Flowers gratefully declined. If you wish, donations in Sulla’s name may be made to the Union Gospel Mission, Vancouver, or the charity of your choice.
SILVERSTEIN, Harry January 21, 1927 September, 12, 2009 Calm and peaceful he is sleeping. Sweetest rest that follows pain; We who loved him sadly miss him But trust in God to meet again Loving and kind in all his ways, Upright and just to the end of his days, Sincere and kind in heart and mind What a beautiful memory he left behind
Forever missed, Forever Loved Donna & our families and friends.
We are sad to announce Joyce passed away suddenly in White Rock on August 31, 2010. She was born in Edmonton on January 6, 1924. She will be missed by her four sons and their partners; Rick and Audrey, Michael and Dianne, Bruce and Martha, and John. She leaves 3 grandchildren and their partners; Sam and Devon, Carla and Danny, and Callum, and her great grandson Dallas. She spent her later years in White Rock very independent and active. She was a familiar site in White Rock with her fashionable and colourful jackets and matching hats which she tailored herself. No service by request. In lieu of flowers donations to the Children’s Hospital. A gathering to remember Joyce will be held September 18th, 3 - 5pm. For information call Rick at (604)671-2596
