While Michaels is seeking a conditional sentence for Hodson, Rideout suggested the outcome is unlikely. Rideout acknowledged Hodson’s previously clean record, as well as the “impressive” reference letters from family and friends, would be taken into consideration in sentencing. He noted, however, the optics of a VPD officer selling marijuana in the drug-riddled Downtown Eastside, where police deal with addiction and mental-health issues on a daily basis, were “disturbing.” “That is one of the troubling features that struck me from the beginning,” Rideout said. “I can’t ignore the fact that, at some time, he engaged in this activity while in uniform and armed.” see page A4

Health officials have given White Rock beach the all-clear for swimming. Rob Thompson, the city’s director of engineering and municipal operations confirmed Wednesday afternoon that two consecutive tests of Semiahmoo Bay have shown the water is safe.

That connection – which Thompson said staff was unaware of – was severed Wednesday morning. Thompson said the blockage buildup – which appeared to involve food waste and grease – occurred sometime within the last three weeks, after the main was last flushed. Asked by Coun. Doug McLean if Marine Drive restaurants were to blame, Thompson said everyone in that area could have contributed to the problem. McLean said a large amount of material had to have been put in the system in order to cause a blockage just three weeks after the main was flushed. “I can’t imagine residents doing that,” he said. “The source of this is likely our businesses along the waterfront.” Thompson noted that restaurants are required at the licensing phase to have oil and fat separators, but that the city does not do follow-up inspections. According to Coun. Alan Campbell, “this should’ve been a red light to us a long time ago.” “I think we should seriously be getting together with restaurants... and make sure see page A4

Amtrak stop would be well-received here I

a stop, there are a number of contributing factors. One is that Amtrak does not want to make the trip any longer. This is important. Another is that track conditions on the Canadian side of the border need improvement, and no level of government is interested in putting any money into that. The third complication is the need to clear customs. It would be possible for Canadian customs officials to clear passengers while the train is travelling northwards, if Canada Border Services Agency were so inclined. Clearing passengers at a stop in White Rock or Surrey while the train trip is still in progress would cause far too many delays. The train is only a viable alternative if the trip can be made in decent time. That’s why it made so much sense for our group to get off in Bellingham and make arrangements to be picked up there. Our trip from downtown Seattle to home didn’t take too much longer than if we had driven that distance. If all those details could be worked out, an Amtrak stop somewhere along the BNSF rail line between the border and the Alex Fraser Bridge could be a boon to Amtrak, and a real benefit to Surrey, White Rock and Delta residents. It may not happen any time soon, but it is a very worthwhile long-term objective. Frank Bucholtz writes Thursdays for the Peace Arch News. He is the editor of the Langley Times.

news Bose proposes parkland buy be put to referendum in time for municipal election

Surrey considers massive park purchase Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Surrey staff are exploring the idea of the city purchasing up to 600 acres of property for parkland. It was raised Monday night by Coun. Bob Bose, who wants the city to preserve some of the more ecologically sensitive areas identified in a green master plan. Bose said the most important parts of the Ecosystem Management Study cannot be achieved within Surrey’s existing parkland acquisition program. He said that “time is of the essence if these lands are not to be given up to development pressure.” Bose wants the issue put to public referendum in time for the Nov. 19 civic election. Coun. Barinder Rasode said Bose’s motion raises more questions than it answers.

File photo

A Surrey councillor wants the city to buy up more green space for use as parks. Foremost on her mind was how much property would be required, where is it located, and who would be footing the bill for it? In the latter case, it would likely be the

taxpayers, she said. And if Bose’s estimates of between 200 and 600 acres are accurate, Rasode says residents would be facing a 20 per cent tax hike to pay for it. That would be $260 for the owner of a

home in Surrey valued at $531,000. The amount of the tax increase is an extremely rough estimate because it’s unknown how much land the city would be required to buy. Rasode said she’s a bit bothered that the initiative is being brought forward so late, with little time to educate council, let alone the public, which would ultimately be deciding the issue. It’s expected the staff report will be back before council after the August break, likely by Sept. 12. Bose said the notion of securing the land will allow Surrey to become a better place. “Surrey is in a unique position to be a better kind of city,” Bose said. “But we need a strategy and we need a mandate from the people.”

Sex assault suspect arrested A man wanted in connection with a violent June 16 sexual assault in South Surrey has been arrested. Police announced Monday 23-year-old Dardan Elbasani was arrested in a Niagara Falls, Ont. casino over the weekend, by officers with Surrey RCMP’s Serious Crimes Unit. Investigators “worked tirelessly” on the case, Supt. Bill Fordy said in a statement. “They used every investigative technique available to them, working seamlessly with partners in Ontario including the Peel Regional Police and the Ontario editorial@peacearchnews.com Provincial Police. “This was a fantastic example of police agencies from across the country working together on short notice.” The incident occurred in Southmere Village Park early June 16, when a woman out for a walk was assaulted by a man who emerged from the bushes. The assailant fled after the woman screamed continually. Elbasani – who was also wanted on outstanding warrants in Surrey, White Rock and Langley – is charged with sexual assault causing bodily harm. He is expected to appear in Surrey Provincial Court this week.

Long wait for waterfront tribute normal – but 22 years ‘unusual’

Man killed by train

Family waits two decades for bench

A man in his 20s was killed after being struck by a freight train in North Surrey Saturday night. Surrey RCMP say just before 11 p.m., they received a call that a man had been struck while attempting to cross through a stopped train under the SkyTrain bridge by Old Yale Road. As the individual, believed to have been intoxicated, crossed between the freight cars, the train began moving. Julie Senecal, spokesperson for CN Railway, told CTV the crew, located at the front of the train, could not have seen someone trying to pass through. “There was nothing the crew could do to prevent this from happening,” she said. “It’s an unfortunate accident that could have been avoided. “It’s an opportunity for a safety reminder that people should use extreme caution when crossing the tracks,” Senecal added. “This type of behaviour can lead to tragic consequences. It’s very sad.” Senecal said the investigation by CN rail police has been completed. - Black Press

Hodson to be sentenced Sept. 22 from page A1 Rideout said there are a “constellation of factors” to be weighed in deciding if Hodson should face jail time, or be granted a conditional sentence. The latter would be a more likely option had Hodson been a civilian at the time of the offences, he said. “One big, booming factor that says a (conditional sentence) does not apply is the fact that he was a cop on duty,” he said. Earlier this month, Rideout heard testimony from Dr. Michael Elterman, a psychologist hired by the defence to perform an evaluation of Hodson’s mental state. Elterman concluded that Hodson exhibited narcissistic tendencies and anti-social behaviour, and that he engaged in criminal activities as a way of creating excitement for himself. Tuesday, Bellows asked Rideout to place little weight on Elterman’s testimony, saying the doctor wasn’t sufficiently qualified to provide expert evidence in this type of case, and that he didn’t properly inform himself of all the details of Hodson’s charges. Bellows also noted a disconnect between Hodson’s personality assessment, which indicated anti-social and egomaniacal behaviour, and several reference letters from his family and friends, which spoke positively of his character. “It is remarkable that (Elterman) prefer the conclusion of an inventory, rather than the opinions of his own family and friends,” Bellows said. Michaels detailed Hodson’s accomplished athletic career – including his years as a basketball star at White Rock Christian Academy – his heavy involvement with family and church, and two

charitable organizations he founded over the years prior to his arrest. He noted the father of four young children began “spiraling out of control” in 2009, engaging in heavy drinking and infidelity, which lead to a temporary separation from his wife, Sarah, and eventually, his drug-dealing offences. Since his arrest, Michaels said Hodson has reconciled with his family and accepted full responsibility for his actions. “He is more than what occurred on 10 occasions over four months,” Michaels said. “There is acknowledgment, insight and remorse, and a real opportunity for Mr. Hodson’s rehabilitation and redemption.” Speaking to reporters outside court, Hodson again apologized to his wife, family and the VPD and reiterated that he has taken full responsibility for his actions. When asked how he thought his more positive accomplishments would affect the judge’s decision, Hodson said he would let them speak for themselves. “I’m not coming out here to toot my own horn,” he said. “I live my life, and I’ve done good things and I’ve done bad things, and it’s a matter of getting them sorted out.” Rideout is expected to deliver his sentence Sept. 22. Bellows is seeking a 3½-year jail term for Hodson, while Michaels is recommending a conditional sentence comprised of two years of house arrest – one without exceptions and one served in the community with a strict curfew – followed by three years of probation.

Staff to followup with restaurants from page A1 they have some sort of oil separator,” he said. “This could’ve happened at 11 p.m. Sunday night, and that could’ve been disastrous, going all night. “I think this is an eyeopener to all of us.” Thompson said city staff will be visiting restaurants and following up with a letter regarding the need to use the separators. Coun. Lynne Sinclair said changes to rules and regulations about separators in restaurants should be explored. “I think we need a much more thorough

discussion of the inspections. This is very serious.” Regarding the first test Fraser Health conducted Monday, Coun. Grant Meyer said it is “unacceptable” that the health authority wouldn’t come out on Sunday, when the incident occurred. In response to a question from McLean regarding potential environmental impacts, Thompson said the city hasn’t visited that area yet. However, fisheries south of the border were closed due to concern over the discharge, he noted. Council asked staff

to bring back a written report on the overall situation by Sept. 30, and include a review of the city’s business licence processes to ensure the installation of fat separators is required. Council also requested staff write a letter to Fraser Health discussing procedures for weekend calls. Thompson said Wednesday connections between the sanitary sewer and the storm system were installed some 20 years ago, and were originally intended to reduce coliform intrusions into the bay from storm water by dumping

it into the sewer system. “It was intended as a one-way diversion, but it appears (in the latest incident) to have worked as a two-way diversion,” he said. Most such connecting pipes were closed off some 15 years ago, Thompson said, noting staff were relying on “corporate memory” of past decisions. He said it is unlikely there are any more unidentified connections, “although I can’t say there are definitely not.”

City outgrowing its infrastructure

he problem of a sewage leak on White Rock beach last Sunday was quickly resolved and – panicky media reports earlier this week notwithstanding – there’s nothing to inhibit families from strolling on the sand while enjoying Spirit of the Sea festivities this weekend. At press time, it was anticipated dipping in the sea would also be safe, pending final confirmation from Fraser Health. But the poor timing of the sewage overflow into a storm-water diversionary system – just before the city’s biggest public event of the year – has given White Rock council and city staff pause to reflect on what else may be lurking in the pipeline to tarnish the city’s image. The reasons for the latest incident are complex and the source of the food waste that blocked the sewer may never be satisfactorily determined, although some on council are more than ready to point the finger at Marine Drive restaurants. But – like the boil-water advisory last year – the problem seems to be related to past practice and the inexorable aging of infrastructure. In the former situation, old seals on reservoirs that were letting bird droppings in needed to be upgraded. In the current problem, while city staff have been conducting maintenance, they were unaware of a former policy of connecting sewer and storm-water systems until the spill occurred. Expensive upgrades by water facility EPCOR and what will become a chlorination of White Rock’s water has “fixed” last year’s problem. Letters to restaurants regarding the need for oil and fat separators – and a report to council on making them mandatory – may help fix the most recent emergency. It will also help that the connecting pipe between the sewer main and the storm-water system that caused Sunday’s leak has been severed. And though most such connections were shut off 15 years ago, it’s possible others may yet remain. We can’t expect the public to understand the background issues, or recognize that our water is largely in the hands of a private company, while the integrity of our sewer system is contingent on what operations manager Rob Thompson terms “corporate memory.” Whatever the reasons, when water must be boiled and raw sewage is on the beach, it’s the city’s reputation that takes the rap. It’s no secret the city has far outgrown infrastructure built for a small seaside town. And decisions and policies that were logical years ago should not be expected to obtain today. We have to wonder how many other ticking clocks there are in the city – no matter what started them running years ago.

To break up the summer, set up a work picnic or softball game. • Buy iced cappuccinos for the afternoon break. • Sometimes your attire can influence your state of mind. Why not wear flip-flops and shorts to work? Crazy Hawaiian shirts. Put a little zinc on your nose. Silly, but better than a nervous breakdown. Sometimes it just comes down to making the after-work stuff more “summery” and breaking out of the usual September to June routine. Some ideas: • Have a picnic dinner after work, at the beach, the park, your deck or in the yard. • Treat the weeknights like weekends. Go for drinks. See a movie. Hook up with friends. Go to an outdoor pool, lounge on the deck. In the end, sadly, there’s no perfect way to alleviate the rather-be-havingfun-in-the-sun-instead-of-nosing-thegrindstone affliction. Work, after all, is called thus for a reason. So perhaps we should start a petition based upon the suggestion of Sheila Keenan, who on Twitter posited that because colder places in Canada get snow days, we should have something similar here. “Vancouver should get two or three sun days this summer. On really gorgeous days, everyone gets the day off.” I’m with you, Sheila. Chris Bryan is editor of the Burnaby NewsLeader. editor@burnabynewsleader.com

No excuse for sewage spill Editor: Here it is, the nicest day of the summer, my son and I walk down to the beach for a swim only to be told there has been a sewage leak into our ocean. In this day and age of technology, how can this happen? Why did this happen? It makes me sick to think how inconsiderate we, as humans, are when it comes to our garbage and sewage. I wonder why the powers that be thought it wise that sewage could be dumped so close to the ocean. Or better yet, in the ocean. When there is a plastic island the size of Texas floating around the ocean and as big, corporate oil companies keep dumping into our ocean, when are we, as a collective, going to stop the mass destruction of one of our precious, most beautiful resources? I am saddened that the officials we elect are only out to make a quick buck while the rest of us suffer. Is anyone else bothered by this? It makes me want to run for mayor, because the mayor we have and the city council are completely useless with no ideas on how to better our amazing city. Shannon Regan, White Rock

Heartfelt thanks to the kind lady who helped me when my car died on King George Boulevard near 26 Avenue recently. Also, to the young man, with dog in truck, who offered help, too. Thank you both very, very much! O.B. Eccles, Surrey Q Just a line of gratitude to Chris for keeping us safe on the pier. Twice a week for the last five years, he’s been driving loose spikes and nailing wobbling planks, saving many spills and stubbed toes. It would be interesting to know how many hours of misery he saves us all. E.R. Ross, White Rock

Don’t blame cats for Harper Editor: Just my luck. Prime Minister Stephen Harper, whose every ideological and political attribute I could not dislike and disagree with more, and he, exactly like I, just happens to be a cat lover! I’ve been a cat fanatic, like, forever. Now, I really have ‘a conflict of interest,’ so to speak, with Harper. Harper, I’m convinced, is quite

health-wise. The reality is, a healing, symbiotic-like relationship can exist between Harper and his (apparently) cherished pet cats. Indeed, petting a cat, for example, acts as a soothing, health-improving massage to that cat; meanwhile, the same contact can reduce the human host’s blood pressure, while bettering some other health matters. All said, however, I really hope that the very many Harper-haters out there who also hate felines will not now hate cats even more so. Frank G. Sterle, White Rock

Pay parking? Think twice Editor: I have had a number of occasions to use the pay parking on Marine Drive and at Peace Arch Hospital lately, and it seems to me to be double-dipping. In the old days, you would park at a meter and quite often there was some time left from a previous parker. You would then add the money you thought you needed for the time spent there. You had to keep a close eye on your watch to make sure to came back and added money when needed. A pain in the

you-know-what. It is much easier now to phone in and add the time needed. However, if you do leave before your time is up – and that could be a few minutes to an hour or more left – the next person using the spot starts from scratch. The meters have your money now, plus the money added by the new parker on the same time period. It is different at Peace Arch. I have had some incredible back pain lately and have been at the hospital a number of times. After parking my car and almost crawling to the pay station, I’ve had to guesstimate the length of time I will be. But you all know hospitals and anything can happen. So the parking situation comes to mind through the pain and then you remember to phone to add the time needed. Well, you can’t do that in the hospital lot over the phone. You basically feed the money into the pay station, again guessing how much longer you might be. That has to be one of the most ridiculous situations I have ever encountered. I can’t think of a more suitable place to have the option to add more money by phone. It would be nice when you were leaving a parking spot if at least you could get a refund for time left.

Pay attention, for safety sake Editor: Recently, I was out riding my bike through the wooded area north of 20 Avenue (and) west of 144 Street. Beautiful area, great trails, people with dogs, etc. Some trails are wide, some narrow… I came up behind a lady walking on a narrow trail. From six metres back, I ring my bell – no response. From four metres – no response. From two – no response. From one, I say, “Coming from behind you.” She jumps. Obviously, I frightened her. I was thinking that maybe she was deaf, then realized that she had her earbuds in and was listening to music or something. The point being, she was totally unaware of her environment and not paying attention to her own safety! When will women (and men, I suppose) wake up and start getting the message about being alert when walking alone in parks, etc.? I have daughters and I am always giving them advice about this. They seem to follow it. I hope women will read this and remember to stay alert. Last month, there was a lady attacked in a park. Roger Currie, Surrey

A letter-writer questions whether those who captured the Stanley Cup riot on film could be criminally charged.

Picture this – you’re an accessory Editor: In regards to the “Stanley Cup Riot 2011,” I wonder whether those who stood by and photographed, videotaped and cheered on the extras for that Lord of the Flies remake, and did nothing to stop or notify authorities, would be considered accessories to a criminal act? An accessory has knowledge that a crime is being, or will be, committed and with that knowledge may become an accessory by helping or encouraging the criminal in some way, or simply by failing to report the crime to proper authorities.

The Canadian Criminal Code provides that “everyone is a party to an offense and receive the same charge who does or omits to do anything for the purpose of aiding any person to commit it.” Those who are sending in videos and photos to the VPD may be incriminating themselves. Someone photographing a criminal act who fails to notify authorities at the time of the crime may be guilty of the same crime. The same people eager to “rat” out their fellow accessories may have committed a crime as defined by the Canadian Criminal Code. Phil Le Good, White Rock

Dangerous corner concerns parents Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Sue Knight and several other parents at Newton’s Woodward Hill Elementary school have asked the City of Surrey for a safe crossing for their kids. There’s an extremely dangerous corner, Knight says, at 60 Avenue and 142 Street, that needs a controlled crossing. Tuesday, at about 8:45 a.m., Knight’s fears unfolded before her and her Grade 1 daughter, when a red Toyota Corolla collided with a van. Police believe the Corolla failed to stop at a stop sign. The van rolled into a ditch. Several passengers from the Toyota were taken to hospital; one was airlifted to Royal Columbian with head injuries. All are expected to make full recoveries. Knight and other parents say they have called city hall in the past about getting a controlled crossing at the intersection, but not much has been done. “It’s scary for us, we haven’t got attention from city hall yet,” she said. Engineering crews have been onsite to perform traffic measurements, Knight said, but further action is slow. “They’re just not moving on it,” she said. “Apparently, there were three accidents in three weeks, right there.” Part of the problem is that drivers are using 60 Avenue as a main thoroughfare, Knight said.

Thinking of heading out for the long weekend? Unless you’re planning to give blood while you’re away, be sure to take along a

One person was airlifted to hospital after a collision Tuesday at 60 Avenue and 142 Street in Newton. “The cars on 60 Avenue are driving fast, like a highway,” she said. “It’s summer school right now, right about the time kids are being dropped off.” Police at the scene Tuesday said they would be forwarding their accident report to the City of Surrey engineering department. Jaime Boan, Surrey’s manager of transportation, said staff have known about the problem corner for a while. He has enlisted the help of a traffic safety specialist to determine the best next steps at the intersection. He expects to know in about a month what those will be, and will act on them “as soon as possible.” The city’s intention is to eventually install a roundabout at that location.

news White Rock council considers numerous options for civic facility

Town centre mulled for city hall Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

White Rock council is on a “fact-finding mission” to determine if city hall could be relocated to the town centre. Monday, the group directed staff to prepare a Request for Proposals for the facility’s potential relocation. Mayor Catherine Ferguson stressed the move does not mean a decision is being made on the hall’s future. It comes in response to a 2008 Facilities Master Plan that noted inadequacies with the current 15322 Buena Vista Ave. building, which was built in 1962. According to the report, those inadequacies include the lack of an elevator, limited accessibility for people with disabilities and limited parking. In addition,

council chambers has inadequate ventilation, sound and audio-visual systems, and limited space for public meetings and multi-purpose use. The study concluded that the estimated $3.6 million needed to renovate the existing facility to current building-code standards would be roughly the same as the cost of a replacement building of the same size. Before incurring renovating costs – which wouldn’t include any expansion or upgrades – council decided to explore other options: relocating to the town centre and relocating to another spot on the Buena Vista site, with the latter raising the possibility of a new multiuse city hall and library facility and allowing some residential redevelopment opportunities

on a portion of the site. Relocating to the town centre “appears to be the most costbeneficial to the city,” the report notes, adding it gives residential redevelopment potential to the existing site, as well as the church property on the corner, which the city now also owns. Revenues from redevelopment could be used to offset costs of construction of a new city hall in the town centre, making the relocation “neutral or revenue-positive to the taxpayer,” according to the report. City manager Peggy Clark noted Monday that there wouldn’t be any transitional costs, as the existing building would continue to operate while a new one is built. Coun. Mary-Wade Anderson said a move uptown “makes a

great deal of sense.” A central plaza where people can congregate is needed, and it would be a good opportunity to create a space that could accommodate city business during the day, and other multi-purpose uses at night, she said. Coun. Grant Meyer said the relocation would help revitalize the town centre “hugely,” while Coun. Doug McLean noted he would prefer moving into a new development rather than an existing storefront. Council is expected to review the draft RFP when they reconvene after the summer break. It is to be based on estimated space requirements of 20,00025,000 sq.-ft. The fire hall site would not be included in an analysis of the site’s redevelopment potential.

Please note that the incorrect price drop math was advertised for the Canon Elph 500 Digital Camera (Web Code: 10164409) found on page 13 of the July 22 flyer. The correct price for this camera is $299.99, save $50 ($349.99 - $30 instant savings - $20 price drop = $299.99). It is NOT $189.99, as previously advertised.

Firearms seized at border Three of 11 firearms seized at Pacific Region borders in one week – including July 17 – were found in vehicles attempting to cross into Canada at the local ports. Officers at the Douglas (Peace Arch) border seized two handguns and arrested one man July 17 after a loaded 9mm pistol and a .50-calibre pistol were found in a northbound vehicle. U.S. resident Nathan John Keese appeared in Surrey Provincial Court July 18. He is charged with smuggling, possession of a prohibited firearm and ammunition and unauthorized possession of a firearm. He is due back in court Aug. 30. The plans of two travellers who arrived at the Pacific Highway border July 13 intending to embark on a two-month tour of B.C. were stymied after border guards found a loaded

.22-calibre revolver and ammunition in a northbound motor home. The weapon was seized, and the motor home’s two occupants were arrested for smuggling. The pair were returned to the U.S. Canada Border Services Agency spokesperson Stefanie Wudel said the incidents are among 75 firearms seizures at Pacific Region borders between Jan. 1 and July 18. The majority were found hidden in vehicles. Other firearms seized included seven loaded handguns and a shotgun. Wudel notes those planning to travel with firearms or weapons must declare the items in writing. Failure to do so can result in criminal charges, and the vehicle the weapons are found in may be seized. Prohibited weapons are not allowed into Canada. - Tracy Holmes

Steven Song wins science competition in Turkey

SUMMER OPEN HOUSE

Chemistry whiz takes gold If you’ve ever wanted to know which species would act as a Lewis acid in a homogenous equilibrium reaction, or wondered what the osmotic pressure and molecular weight of plastic is, just ask Steven Song. The Semiahmoo Secondary grad won a gold medal at the International Chemistry Olympiad in Ankara, Turkey last week. He was the only Canadian to win gold and the only member of the four-person Canadian contingent from B.C. “I’m proud to represent Canada and it’s a pleasure to bring a medal home for my own country,” Song said in a release. The chemistry olympiad is a grueling two-day competition that demands understanding of chemistry that is more typically offered by post-secondary education than standard high school courses. It includes a theoretical exam worth 60 points and a practical exam worth 40. Students are allotted five hours for each exam, and are tested in organic, inorganic, physical and analytical chemistry and spectroscopy. Held annually in different host countries around the world, the event brings together the top high school students from 68

Song – who immigrated to Canada from China less than three years ago – won gold and his teammates each earned silver medals, making them the most successful Team Canada in the competition’s history. “This was the best Canadian team ever,” Song said. Song credits his teachers and the accelerated studies offered by Semi’s International Baccalaureate program – which he gradu-

ated from in June – for preparing him for the July 18 competition. He was chosen to represent the country at the event after placing second in the Canadian Chemistry Olympiad earlier this year. He was also part of the Semiahmoo team that won the UBC Physics Olympics this past spring. Song intends to pursue a career in chemical engineering, and will attend the University of Alberta this September on a $16,000-entrance scholarship.

Awards night

Sunny shores

James Maclennan photo

Crescent Beach was a very busy place Sunday, as hundreds flocked to the South Surrey locale to soak up some rays during one of the warmest days in weeks – the mercury reached into the high 20s in the Fraser Valley.

The Surrey Foundation will be honouring its 2011 Community Award recipients, as well as individuals and organizations that have supported the non-profit society, at a ceremony Thursday. Among those to be recognized July 28 are current fund holders, donors, and current and past directors and volunteers. The ceremony will take place at Semiahmoo House Society, 15306 24 Ave., from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. “We are honoured to take this opportunity to recognize the many friends of the Surrey Foundation who have supported us in a variety of ways over the years,” a release from the foundation states. “We are also excited to recognize the 2011 Community Awards recipients by highlighting the incredible contributions that these organizations have made to our community of Surrey.” - Black Press

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

White Rock Selects headed to Ripken Series

White Rock outfielder Matt Amisano eyes the cut-off man as he relays the ball back into the infield after a Calgary hit, during his team’s Game 1 loss Thursday at Laronde Elementary.

Ready for the world Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

ext month, the White Rock Selects will trade the teal and black colours of their home association for the red and white of their country, at one of the biggest baseball tournaments in North America. Beginning Aug. 12, the Selects, made up of 12-year-old members of the White Rock-South Surrey Baseball Association, will represent Canada at the Cal Ripken World Series in Aberdeen, Maryland. They earned the right to don the Maple Leaf after edging the Calgary Coyotes 2-1 in a best-ofthree series, which was played at Laronde Elementary last week. “And now we get to wear Team Canada jerseys – and that’s pretty cool,” said White Rock assistant coach Melissa Bonn. “The boys are all pretty excited.” Calgary travelled to South Surrey last week for the best-ofthree Cal Ripken qualifying series, and in the first game Thursday, did not show much in the way of road weariness – they scored three runs in the first few innings, and cruised to an 8-4 victory. But the resilient White Rock squad – buoyed by the addition of two pitchers, Ty Westgard and

Nick Greenizan photo

Sam Shoemaker, who had been playing on White Rock’s other allstar squad, whose season ended last week – bounced back in Games 2 and 3. On Friday morning, with Westgard on the mound, White Rock won 13-3 in just four

innings – at which time the mercy rule was invoked – and in the deciding contest later that afternoon, Shoemaker pitched the home team to an 8-3 win. According to Bonn, the series win was made even more impressive considering the

Calgary squad was made up of allstars from throughout southern Alberta, rather than just from Calgary, as opposed to White Rock, which boasts purely homegrown talent. “It’s pretty impressive, how the boys played,” she said.

White Rock leaves next week for Aberdeen, which is 60 km northeast of Baltimore. Opening ceremonies are scheduled for Aug. 12, with the Peninsula crew’s first game slated for the following day, when they take to the diamond against Japan. Following Japan, they’ll play round-robin games against Mexico, Korea, Australia and the Dominican Republic. Bonn expected the competition to be stiff – certainly the toughest test her team has ever faced. “We’re just very happy to be there – it’s going to be a good experience,” she said. Cal Ripken Baseball differs from Little League in that base-paths are 50 feet rather than 40, pitchers pitch from further away and baserunners are allowed lead-offs on the bases. White Rock’s other 12 year-old summer all-star team, which was aiming for a spot at the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa., was eliminated in the District 3 championship game, losing to Langley. Twice White Rock has advanced to the Little League World Series – in 2007 and ‘08 – but have not made it to the Ripken finals since 2004. In 2005, a team of 12-yearolds earned bronze at the Cal Ripken Regionals. For more on the Cal Ripken World Series, visit the tournament’s website, http://crws. ripkenbaseball.com

Fifty years of clinical use has shown that the small, daily hCG dose during the diet (thousands of times less than that produced in pregnancy or used for other purposes), results in a weight loss of 1 - 2 lbs/day for both men and women, when accompanied by a low calorie diet. This can mean that over the course of the 23 - 46 days of the diet, one can lose anywhere from 25 - 50 lbs or more. First discovered and investigated by the British endocrinologist A.T.W. Simeons in the 1950s, it was found that when treated with minute doses of hCG and combined with a very low calorie diet, the brain programmed the body to release the fuel from fat deposits for their daily energy needs, instead of lean muscle tissue, as normally occurs during a pregnancy.

What about the fear that all dieters face of gaining it all back when their done? The hCG resets your metabolism and appetite, so that after the diet is completed (23-40 days), you have a completely new approach to eating, that is healthy – and satisfying, along with the guidance and supervision of a naturopathic doctor to ensure that the weight stays off.

Tennis leagues set to begin play Local tennis players will again have the chance to participate in both singles and doubles leagues, as the B.C. Tennis Leagues’ schedule is set to begin Sept. 3. The organization runs leagues on courts throughout the Lower Mainland, including Surrey, with

players separated by skill level. Each player will play a minimum of six matches, and will have a schedule mailed to them by league organizers. The playing schedule is flexible, as individual players are free to make their own playing arrangements with competitors.

A playoff round follows the regular-season schedule. Deadline to sign up is Aug. 15, and all information and registration forms can be found at www.bctennisleagues.50megs. com. For more information, call Ron Shalley at 604-534-1786 or email him at shalley@iprimus.ca

I have been in a commonlaw relationship with a man for six yearsl and because of his failing health and very bad temper, it has often been rocky. He has no children and no will. I have been urging him to do a will so I can have some protection in my later years. What shall I do? Hang in there until the new legislation is passed which may be in September 2011 or possibly early 2012. If the legislation is passed as proposed, and he still has no will, you will get the whole of your common-law spouse’s estate provided that you live with him for the last two years of his life.

Eternally loved by his wife Noreen Dunbar, his nine children: Michael Avery (Marilyn), Ann Lamondin (Bruce), Michael Skinner (Judy), Charles Turner (Denice), Charlaine Skinner (Gerry), Charles Skinner Jr. (Janice), John Skinner (Virginia), Bonnie Lee Proulx (Rene), Ashton Borg (Wes), and step children Randy Lavoie (Judy), Sandra Lavoie (Michael), Marcy Lavoie (Victor). He also leaves behind 13 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, and 4 step grandchildren.

After a valiant 6-week struggle against a serious infection requiring open heart surgery, Jim passed away peacefully at Vancouver General Hospital. He is now free of his earthly restrictions & rests in peace with God. Born to Laura (Dezell) & Ralph Evjen in Quesnell, BC, Jim will be deeply missed by his wife Gwen; children Andrew (Shannon) McDonald, Dawn (Dave) Adair, Kathleen (Al) Schweighardt, Karen (Duncan) Eades, Carrie (Mike) Gibb and James (Alison); grandchildren Jessica, Amber, Laura, Kenzie, Cahleigh, Kaiden, Sam, Jack, Karissa, Georgia, Kia, Robbie and Brandon; as well as many nieces and nephews. Jim is survived by brother John (Bev) Evjen of Surrey, aunt Bea Dezell (103 years old). Jim’s family & many friends will miss him dearly & will always remember him as the cheerful, loving, kind & supportive person that he was. A Celebration of Jim’s Life was held on Monday, July 18, 2011 at First United Church, White Rock, where Jim & Gwen were married in August of 1994. Donations in Jim’s memory may be made to the Diabetes, Kidney or Heart foundations.

Charlie hailed from a family of United Empire Loyalists and was a WWII veteran who served 5 years in Europe. His intellect, talents and generosity knew no bounds. Charlie enjoyed many years working as a conveyor belt technician in Ontario and BC. He was also a stained glass artist, painter, sailboat captain, wood carver, and most recently a founding member of the Hazelmere Heritage Fiddlers. Charles was one of the rare individuals that fully appreciated life and made full use of every waking moment. His legacy will live on in every person’s life that he touched. A celebration of his life will be held on Aug. 12, Crescent United Church, 2756-127 St. at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers a donation to the Surrey Food Bank Society would be appreciated.

On Wednesday, July 20, 2011, Roy died peacefully and with dignity in Peace Arch Hospital surrounded by his loving family. He will be greatly missed by his wife, Liisa Parsikangas, his children, Terri Harvey (David), Ross (Maureen), Jim (Donna), Yvonne, his eight grandchildren and one great grandchild, his sister, Yvonne, his brother, Ken, his sister-in-law, Helja and her daughter Marjut, other extended family, and his many friends. He is predeceased by his first wife, Phyllis. Roy was born and raised in Vancouver. After marrying, he moved to Langley where he raised his family. Most recently, he has resided in White Rock. Roy always enjoyed the natural beauty of B.C. and through both work and pleasure boasted of having traveled on almost every road and highway in the province. He also enjoyed traveling to many other parts of Canada and the United States and spent many winters down in Arizona. In the last few years, he has stayed close to home, but right up to just days before his death, he enjoyed daily walks with his wife. By request, there will be no funeral service, but a celebration of his life will held later in August. Please contact Jim for information.

The Fraser RiverBus Society has proposed creating a river commuter service – using hydrofoil catamarans such as this one – that would run from Richmond all the way to Langley. Contributed photo

Proposed RiverBus would run from Langley to Richmond

Connecting communities on the Fraser Grant Granger

Black Press

few years ago, Jeff Malmgren was doing some consulting work on the River District area of Vancouver just west of Boundary Road where it’s expected about 15,000 people will eventually live. He began to wonder “how are these people going to get around?” He also noticed while doing some work for the City of New Westminster on the civic centre in the midst of a burgeoning downtown how people were beginning to reconnect with the river. So why not, he thought, go back in time and use the river to get around? The result is the Fraser RiverBus Society, and he presented his

concept to the Metro Vancouver per day could run up and down regional planning committee last the river between Langley and Friday. Richmond, providing an efficient transit alternative for commuters. “There’s no good reason All the best transit links are for why it shouldn’t work from a transportation and social point of getting to downtown Vancouver, view,” said Malmgren. “It’s only but there is a great deal of been the last 80 to 90 years that crosstown commuting that isn’t being served, he said. we’ve turned our backs on the river “There are more ❝We’ve turned our and made it a back people in Richmond backs on the river and who go to work alley. “In Australia, made it a back alley.❞ in Burnaby or Asia and Europe it’s New Westminster Jeff Malmgren than to downtown always been in place proposing RiverBus and it’s growing. In Vancouver, North America it’s significantly more, and that’s not an anomaly.” underutilized ... It’s not only a good idea, but it’s a good idea Malmgren estimates there are now.” 55,000 who commute between the Malmgren is proposing four riverfront communities. vessels with a projected capacity “It takes a long trip on of 10,000 to 15,000 passengers transit to get there and it goes

through downtown which puts unnecessary pressure on the transit that is going downtown,” said Malmgren. Since cross-town commuting by transit is neither convenient nor comfortable, it’s likely commuters will continue to use their own vehicles unless something like a RiverBus is implemented, he added. People like the speed and privacy of the car, so the RiverBus would have to offer comforts such as wireless Internet, good seating, bike storage and hop on/hop off service, along with a pleasant ride on the water. Malmgren said the vessel that seems most appropriate for a RiverBus is a hydrofoil catamaran such as those used in New York on the East River, as well as in

Chicago and Washington, D.C. His group estimates capital costs, including vessels, land infrastructure and start-up, would be between $15.65 million and $20.4 million, far less than the West Coast Express initial capital costs, which it says were $118 million. The operating cost is estimated at $1,000 per hour per vessel, compared to the SeaBus, which is $675 an hour. The capital cost for waterborne transportation is always going to be significantly cheaper and so will the environmental costs, Malmgren said. “This is a really great opportunity and it is an option with very little capital cost.” The New Westminster Quay see page B2

Mayors want more research from page B1 and the pier at the foot of Kerr Street in Vancouver would be suitable for docking, said Malmgren. A stop at Fraser Foreshore Park in Burnaby would have lots of traffic because of all the industrial park offices and warehouses in the area. Other landings could be in Maple Ridge, Port Coquitlam and the River Rock Casino and Canada Line in Richmond. According to Malmgren, the Metro Vancouver directors were curious and asked a lot of questions at the July 22 meeting. The committee â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which includes Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan, the committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chair, and New Westminster Mayor Wayne Wright â&#x20AC;&#x201C; asked the regional districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff to investigate the proposal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought there was some merit in it,â&#x20AC;? said Wright, who admitted his reaction was one

of the more positive ones from directors at the meeting. It makes some sense for New Westminster and Richmond, he said, because of the proximity of SkyTrain stations. Wright said the proposal â&#x20AC;&#x153;is a bit too muchâ&#x20AC;? and suggested Malmgren work on a scaled-back option. The societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s numbers need to be vetted and some research done to see just what might be viable, he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to have the amounts of people, otherwise you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make money because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just not enough usage yet,â&#x20AC;? said Wright. When he visits Sydney, Australia, where he lived for two years, Wright takes water buses all the time. But the population base around the water there is much higher than on the Fraser River, he said.

The region’s new waste plan includes incinerators.

B.C. approves waste plan Kevin Diakiw Black Press

The province has endorsed the regional waste plan, which includes the incineration of garbage. The region adopted the Integrated Solid Waste and Resource Management Plan

(ISWRMP) a year ago this week. It also calls for an aggressive push for increased recycling and composting of household organics. Metro board chair Lois Jackson said Monday the provincial approval was great see page B5

On behalf of the 35th Elders Gathering we would like to express our gratefulness to our Elders who attended all our planning meetings throughout the year with their knowledge and support. Our Core Planning Group, Coordinators and Volunteers, provided input and tireless commitment to the planning process, which lead to the success of the 35th Annual Elders Gathering. Their respectful participation was a success and welcomed over 5000 participants. The 35th Elders Gathering could not have taken place without our sponsors. We have built long lasting partnerships that will beneﬁt the elders, their communities and all British Columbians for many years to come.

She also noted the Fraser Valley is vehemently opposed to such a facility. “We have to respect their views as well,” Watts said, adding she would approve of an out-ofregion facility. “I think it’s the most balanced approach.” Because of strong public reaction to decrease the amount of garbage going to landfills, Metro staff are recommending an 80 per cent diversion by 2020. Previously, the goal had been a 70 per cent diversion by 2015. Part of the plan is to compost all residential organics by 2012, and by 2015, ban all such food and kitchen waste from landfills.

Additions aimed to ease provincial-court logjam

Province appoints five judges Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Five new provincial court judges will help B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backlogged court system, but the system is still falling behind, says NDP justice critic Leonard Krog. New judges were named Sunday by Attorney-General Barry Penner to serve in Surrey, Vernon, Williams Lake and Prince George. The new appointments will allow the chief judge of the provincial court to assign an extra judge to Vancouver as well.

Krog said the five new judges judges raised the alarm about represent fewer than a third of risks to courtroom security. the 17 the provincial Sheriffs are responsible for keeping order court estimated were needed in a report on in courtrooms and the issue last fall. moving prisoners to and from custody for Numerous prosecutions have been their court appearances. dropped because of delays in getting them â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re down about to trial, and thousands 100 [sheriffs] from where we were a few more are at risk of the Leonard Krog same fate. years ago, and that led justice critic to a number of court In late June, Penner reversed a budget cut to cases being delayed,â&#x20AC;? part-time sheriffs that reduced Krog said Monday. the service by the equivalent Changes to B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impaired of 34 full-time sheriffs, after driving regulations are also

reducing the load on the provincial court system. The government estimated that impaired cases were taking up half the available time in some courthouses, but switching to roadside administrative penalties has led to a 75 per cent drop in impaired cases going to court. Krog said the inadequate legal aid funding is creating more pressure on the overtaxed court system. Family cases involving custody, access and maintenance are increasingly being heard in provincial court, often without lawyers, he said.
