Semiahmoo Secondary alumnus disappears off Hornby Island
Family grieves for missing kayaker Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
One week after her son failed to return from an afternoon of solo kayaking, White Rock artist Kim Lake holds little hope the teen is still alive. “There’s really no evidence at all that he survived,” Lake said Wednesday of 16-yearold Orlando Graham. “Since it happened, neither his (biological) mom or I have been able to feel that he is here.” Orlando – who attended Semiahmoo Secondary for Grade 8 and part of Grade 9 – was reported missing shortly after 10 p.m.
June 29, about eight hours after he set out in his red kayak from Hornby Island’s Sandpiper Beach in the Georgia Strait. The kayak was found the following morning on nearby Mushroom Beach, with a pair of shoes and Orlando’s lifejacket inside. Nearly 60 searches that followed found no further signs of Orlando, and his family believes he fell victim to a sudden weather pattern that even a far more experienced paddler would have had difficulty navigating. “We believe he fought hard, but was taken by the sea and dangerous circumstances,” his stepfather, Peter Addison, writes in a blog that

Tampered sign snares tickets Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Beachgoers who got a ticket for parking along east Marine Drive Monday night may just have an easy go disputing the fine. Several motorists were ticketed after someone tampered with a City of Surrey sign to give the impression pay parking ended at 1 p.m. In fact, it’s in effect until 11 p.m. Alerted to the problem by Peace Arch News Tuesday afternoon, officials said those who received tickets that night can argue the fine. “The people can certainly dispute the ticket and we would be willing to definitely have a look at that, because the sign has been altered,” said Rick Bamford, Surrey’s manager of operations for bylaws and licensing. It’s unclear how many drivers were cited as a result of the prank, but a Langley woman who noticed the anomaly said Tracy Holmes photo she saw tickets on the windSign altered. shields of at least 10 cars in the area, many there to watch the U.S. July 4 fireworks across the bay. “I’m walking along the road and every single car has a yellow parking ticket,” said Erin Naidoo, who visited the beach with family.

Is it too late for a train stop in White Rock? White Rock Coun. Doug McLean said he disagrees with abandoning the initiative to have the Amtrak stop in the community, although a city announcement pronounced the idea all-but-dead last week. “I feel it’s an idea we should still keep going – maybe not spend a lot of money on it, but continue to talk to the interested parties,” he told Peace Arch News Wednesday. McLean authored the original motion to revive the Amtrak stop proposal at a council meeting in December 2009. Efforts had been stalled since 2001 in the aftermath of the 9-11 attacks. “I still think it’s the will of the city and I do think it should continue to be one of our goals as a city,” McLean said. In May 2001, under the leadership of former mayor Hardy Staub, White Rock won a letter of agreement from Amtrak to pursue a new regular stop in the city. But the initiative perished that fall as antiterrorist measures and the security of borders became paramount in see page A4

news Area residents urge city to reconsider
Widening 32 Avenue on track for 2012 Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter
Traffic volumes on 32 Avenue through Grandview Heights have reached a level that requires the road to be widened. That’s according to Surrey’s general manager of engineering, who said the city has plans for 32 Avenue between 154 and 160 streets to become a four-lane arterial, with bike lanes, a centre median and sidewalks. Vincent Lalonde said the design was initiated this year to address current and projected future traffic levels in the growing area, as well as a need for pavement repair. “When the pavement needs resurfacing, it’s usually a good time to do major works,” he said. The project was planned as part of the Grandview Heights Neighbourhood Concept Plan and is in the engineering department’s current 10-year servicing plan for the area.
Building was originally scheduled for the trucks using 32 Avenue as an entrance to and summer and fall of 2011, but has been exit from Campbell Heights Business Park. pushed back to early next year or summer in The 32nd Avenue Alliance – comprising resorder to consider residents’ thoughts on the idents in Morgan Creek, Rosemary Heights, Kensington Prairie and Grandview project in the designs.

“It’s probably a more direct connection to Campbell Heights,” he said. “We’re hoping that whenever that interchange can be put in place, that would alleviate some of the trucks using 32 Avenue.” When asked for comment about the expansion, coalition co-chair Ross Buchanan – who was quoted in a June 3 Peace Arch News article (Semi ban sought on 32 Avenue) and who this week submitted a letter to the editor (see page 9) – said in an emailed response that the topic “has been declared off-limits” by local papers, including PAN, because they publish paid advertising from the City of Surrey. “Welcome to reality,” Buchanan writes. “Personally I would love to see a return to a free press.” For more on the project, visit the City of Surrey’s webpage at http://www.surrey. ca/plans-strategies/8955.aspx or 32 Avenue Alliance’s site at www.deathbydiesel.ca
Tree cuts on decline in Surrey Kevin Diakiw Black Press
A slow economy and a change in local developments continue to mean far fewer trees are being cut down in the City of Surrey. Between 2001 and 2008, Surrey was issuing permits to cut down about 10,000 trees annually, according to figures obtained by Black Press. But then the recession hit in 2009, and construction dropped by 40 per cent. The number of trees cut fell by more than 50 per cent, with 4,662 coming down that year. Last year, the number of tree cuts fell even further, with 3,446 being axed. In the first half of this year, Surrey has so far issued permits for 2,547 significant trees to be cut. The reduction is partly due to the drop in building and the type of development occurring, known as infill, where construction occurs on already-cleared lands. Some areas where that development has occurred include Guildford Town Centre, where 37 trees were cut down and 442 replanted. And Green Timbers Urban Forest, a huge area cleared for a forestry site many years ago, will be home to the new RCMP E-Division headquarters. At that site, 70 trees had to be cut down and 210 were planted in their place. Mayor Dianne Watts also attributes the drop in tree cuts to planning, which includes building neighbourhoods around green spaces. “We do an assessment of an area and take a look at what we need to be retaining,” Watts said. However, longtime Surrey resident George Zaklan isn’t impressed with the “official” drop in tree cuts. He points specifically to a cut near 60 Avenue and 132 Street, where huge trees were cut down to put in housing “cheek-to-jowl.” And he says he hears from several others who complain about similar cuts in their neighbourhoods.

A BC Hydro tower leans towards the Fraser River, not far from where a second tower – a portion of its base still visible – tumbled into the Fraser.
Mayors demand answers, warn collapse could have been deadly
River erosion blamed for toppled tower Jeff Nagel Black Press
The high-running Fraser River showed its force Monday when powerful currents undercut and toppled a BC Hydro transmission tower in North Surrey, downing power lines and forcing the overnight shutdown of Highway 1 and the Lougheed Highway. Now, area mayors want to know whether Hydro officials should have done more to prevent the emergency and whether there are more vulnerable points in the transmission system that need to be upgraded. “This is unfathomable,” Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart said. “I’m still left with lots of questions for BC Hydro as to how their line could have been undermined on the south side of the river for weeks and they had not reported it to the communities that would have been affected by this kind of calamity.” Hydro officials said Tuesday they had been aware for several days that river erosion had made some towers unstable and crews worked over the weekend to stabilize them. The situation deteriorated at 9 p.m. Monday when one tower fell on the Surrey side, dropping its 230-kilovolt transmission cables into the Fraser, and putting a second tower at risk on the opposite bank. Stewart said it’s lucky the two highways were

Councillor says train stop possible from page A1 the mind of U.S. officials. Last week, a city release said discussions with Amtrak, the Washington State Department of Transportation and the B.C. Ministry of Transportation had been derailed by the U.S. authorities’ insistence that a new stop anywhere in the Cascades corridor was not an option at this time. Reasons cited included an increased journey time incompatible with high-speed rail
objectives, customs and immigration issues, increased capital costs and changes in funding sources for rail transportation. But while McLean acknowledged there would be many hurdles to overcome, he said he believes the original discussions with Amtrak in 2001 showed that a White Rock stop would not add significantly to travel times between Vancouver and Seattle. Further, McLean said, he takes a long view in which gaining
access to a major rail route makes increasing sense for the south of the Fraser region. “I think there’s a lot of discussion in the region about the lack of transportation sources,” he said, noting it’s not uncommon for communities in Europe and even in eastern Canada to utilize regional rail transportation. “I think there’s support from municipalities south of the Fraser to access the regional train – Amtrak.”

Passerby helps ticketed drivers from page A1 bandshell. That’s when she noticed “some joker” had removed one of the ‘1’s on the sign. Knowing better, she plugged the machine. She said she called officials in White Rock and Surrey to alert them to the tampering, in the hopes of saving those who were ticketed from having to pay the fine. After that effort reached dead ends, she contacted PAN for help
getting the word out. An email to the City of Surrey received a quick response from Bamford. Bamford alerted the city’s sign department right away and it will be fixed, he said, noting that until that’s done, parking officials monitoring the area “have been advised accordingly.” As for ticket disputes, Bamford said there’s only so far the city can go, given that it’s not known
when the sign was altered. “If anybody got a ticket on that strip on the fourth, we’ll certainly have a look at those,” he said. Naidoo said Wednesday she was pleased to hear the city planned to act. She acknowledged she had nothing to gain from her effort. “I just don’t think it’s right that all these people had to pay,” she said. “I would hope someone would do that for me.”

CITY NEWS OUTSTANDING CANADIANS ON THE PENINSULA On July 1, the City of White Rock honoured three exceptional individuals that have helped make White Rock a successful, vibrant and harmonious community through the White Rock Outstanding Canadians on the Peninsula Legacy Program. Nominations were received in the spring from the general public and a selection committee focused on the volunteer contributions each nominee made on the establishment, success, health, wellbeing and liveability of White Rock. At the Canada Day by the Bay celebrations, Mayor and Council honoured Elizabeth Keeling (posthumously), Ellen Kennett and Joe O’Malley as Outstanding Canadians on the Peninsula. About the 2011 Outstanding Canadians on the Peninsula Elizabeth Keeling After extensive study at the Toronto Conservatory of Music, Elizabeth settled in White Rock in 1950. By 1951 she had already introduced weekly story hour for children at the White Rock Library. Elizabeth’s house at the corner of Fir and Columbia soon became a centre of artistic and cultural activity. Over the next 50 years she was involved in and often initiated the establishment of every arts/culture club in White Rock including: • The White Rock Choral Society • The White Rock Overture Concert Society

WHITE ROCK TO HAVE FIRST EVER SYPEROXYGENATION SYSTEM IN CANADA During summer 2011, Metro Vancouver, in coordination with the City of White Rock, will be upgrading the White Rock Pump Station located near Marine Drive and Oxford Street. These upgrades will involve the installation of a new odour and corrosion treatment system called SuperOxygenation. This mixes pure oxygen with sewage to help reduce or eliminate odours. It will also reduce maintenance and repair costs, and eliminate the need to use additional chemicals to treat odour and corrosion. When complete, White Rock will have the first ever SuperOxygenation system in all of Canada! For further details on this project, please contact the Metro Vancouver Information Centre at 604.432.6200.
Joe taught at White Rock Elementary School for 35 years (1970 – 2004). During that time he spent thousands of hours over and above his classroom time coaching soccer, volleyball and track and field. Often, after a long day of teaching and coaching, Joe would return to school after dinner to host floor hockey. During this time he also organized numerous volleyball tournaments and track meets and always encouraged other coaches to bring lots of students with them to participate. He never wanted to turn any child away and made room for everyone.
NEXT WEEK
Under Joe’s leadership, White Rock Elementary school won the Barry Morley Memorial Track and Field Championships – Large Schools Division so many times that they presented the trophy to the school and bought a new one!
All meetings at White Rock City Hall, 15322 Buena Vista Ave. unless otherwise noted
July 11 Land Use and Planning Meeting - 4:00 p.m.
Although Joe is retired from full-time teaching today, he hasn’t let that slow him down. He still teaches one day a week for the Surrey School District and substitute teaches. During this time he also continues to coach the White Rock Elementary School track & field teams and their girls’ volleyball teams. Thank you Elizabeth Keeling, Ellen Kennett and Joe O’Malley for making White Rock an even better place to live!

So much for spin city
I
s the City of White Rock trying to spin the news? Council recently went to some lengths to specify who is officially sanctioned to speak on behalf of city hall. That move may be a matter of housekeeping – if not exactly housecleaning – for the city. Some have reportedly seen this exercise as a sinister attempt by White Rock to exert ironfisted control over what is published. In reality, it changes nothing. The city’s communications co-ordinator, Jamie Leggatt, issued a statement last week spelling out the policy, adopted May 31: “Unless otherwise authorized, the city’s spokespersons are: mayor, deputy mayor, the city manager, city clerk, department heads. Exceptions regarding departmental spokespersons may be made at the discretion of the department head.” What else is new? These are the officials most of us in the media would assume would have the authority to speak for the city – any city. And the policy does nothing to limit comment from others, speaking as individuals. If, as some suggest, it as an attempt to muzzle city councillors, it is one that is doomed to failure. Politicians, by nature, are not shy about expressing opinions. But has one ever assumed that, in voicing them, councillors presume to speak for the city, or council as a whole? Politics being what it is, such opinions are prone to change at short notice. The most meaningful indicator of the will of council, at the end of the day, is the majority vote. Nor does the policy limit, or prevent, what reporters have always done to develop other sources of information. Even the hottest tip, rumour or leaked piece of information requires substantiation, and an opportunity for official comment, for a story to have any semblance of being balanced. If a newspaper – or some other media outlet – is seeking official comment from a city, guess what? It will attempt to go to a mayor, or a deputy mayor, or the city clerk or a department head. And if the department head doesn’t think the issue is a political hot potato, and that Charlie or Charlene further down the ladder has the details, we may well be directed to that individual. Perhaps somebody unfamiliar with the mechanics of governmental process – and unaware of the continuing dance between public servants, politicians and the media – might be forgiven for being surprised and dismayed by White Rock’s policy. Surely, no one else is.

Makes a lot of sense doesn’t it? The Yanks go to war, and win complete independence. We retain our ties, and keep the monarchy. And a Brit in Canada has to apply for a British passport in the U.S.! You would have thought, if it was all about saving money and thus having only one UK passport office in North America, that it would at least be located in the country that has the closest ties to Britain. Granted, there may be more British ex-pats living in the U.S., but even that should not override the long-standing relationship Canada has with our official “mother country.” Because like it or not, and regardless of your origin, by retaining the monarchy, Great Britain is just that to Canada. Will that last though, considering the incredible demographic change that immigration is bringing to this country? Will these new Canadians eventually demand that we mature into a completely independent nation, the only sovereignty we hold will be our own? In the meantime, at least Will and Kate are cute and they, like movie stars or hockey heroes, create a pleasant diversion to talk about – like the weather and, I would guess, the potential horde of mosquitoes we’ll probably fight off this summer.

Thoroughfare Discuss needs too close to us before building Editor: Re: Grandview plan riles committee, June 30. As disappointing as it is to hear the City of Surrey’s environmental advisory committee is denied the right to speak directly to council, it certainly does not surprise us. I am a member of the 32nd Avenue Alliance – a group of citizens who have come together to oppose and halt the expansion of 32 Avenue into a five-lane thoroughfare to accommodate what will be upwards of 7,000 diesel trucks a day travelling to and from the city’s industrial zone at Campbell Heights, rather than using the highways that are available to them and which provide significant setbacks. One of the primary purposes of highway setbacks is to protect the public from the carcinogenic effect of deadly diesel exhaust. The list of exhaust-related health conditions is long. In addition to being a known cause of cancer, diesel toxins also cause neurological damage, such as development issues in children, birth defects, Alzheimer’s, heart attacks, strokes and – one we are seeing a lot of along the 32 Avenue corridor – childhood asthma. While the developers’ Surrey First gang at city hall are not willing to speak with us about this critical health crisis facing our community, the medical committee of the 32nd Alliance is taking action. During July, we are conducting an asthma audit of families living along the 32 Avenue corridor. Early indications are that we may very well have an asthma epidemic on our hands. We have asked to speak directly to mayor and council on the issue of this looming environmental disaster that is both a health and safety issue but, just like the environmental advisory committee, we have been denied and referred to a committee composed primarily of staff. We are being poisoned by toxic diesel exhaust, and all the Surrey First politicians can do is play games with our health and our lives. I guess if they won’t speak with their own environmental advisory committee, we really shouldn’t expect that they would be willing to speak directly with this committee of citizens from the community – even if it is about a life-and-death issue. Upwards of 7,000 diesel trucks a day slice through the heart of our neighbourhoods, within mere metres of our preschools, our nursing homes, our playgrounds and our homes, spewing deadly diesel exhaust all over our families. How many people have to die to provide the diesel highway trucks with a five-minute shortcut through highdensity residential neighbourhoods? The failure of council to correct this looming environmental travesty is causing the residents along the 32nd Avenue corridor grievous bodily harm. It is unfortunate our elected mayor and council choose not to hear directly from the citizens and to deny us access to them. Ross Buchanan, Surrey
Editor: Re: Action on new city hall ‘long overdue,’ June 28. After reading the above-headlined article, my immediate reaction was to give my head a shake over council’s latest enthusiasm. Before the money is committed on behalf of White Rock taxpayers, there are two issues that I think should be considered. • If there are resources for a new city hall, how about fixing the leaking roof on our local library first. Every time I walk up to the second floor on a rainy day for the last year or so, there is a container on the stairs picking up drops as they fall from the ceiling. It’s a great library – used and valued by many residents – that deserves better care. • Before committing to the expense and construction of a new city hall, wouldn’t it be advisable to open up a dialogue with White Rock residents about the efficacy of such a move? We are, after all, about three square miles with a limited population and tax base.
Our revenues are primarily derived from property taxes, and increasing the corporate or commercial portion seems to recede into wishful thinking as time passes. This raises some questions. Is our city viable over the long run? Will the cost to the taxpayer, remaining as we are, continue to escalate at the historic rate? What other options are there for our jewel by the sea? These are all questions and issues that should be discussed and considered by council and our citizens before proceeding with the construction of a new city hall. Danny McJannet, White Rock

Ray and Marj LeBlond are frustrated by the City of Surrey’s care of a tiny park in the middle of a cul-de-sac.
City must give value for our green An open letter to the co-ordinator of the City of Surrey’s Partners in Parks program. We have received your request in the mail concerning the survey for the replacement and management of the 22 Avenue cul-de-sac trees and scrubs. Only yesterday I walked around the cul-de-sac and felt the parks staff had, perhaps, forgotten about our little park. It is more than 20 years old, with mature trees and scrubs. There are tall grasses and a great variety of weeds and volunteer daisies standing tall in the centre. Your survey asks us if we would like to keep the existing scrubs and volunteer our time to maintain this little green space, or remove and replace these plants with grass and the city would mow this area. What’s next, when you don’t have the budget to mow the grass after you have removed the trees? Are you going to pour cement over the space and paint it green, with a gold hand-push lawn-mower statue? Well, here are my thoughts. We were one of the first owners on 22 Avenue and built our home. We are now 86 and 87 years old and have gardeners to manage our land. We take great pride in our home and work hard to stay in it and maintain it, as many other homeowners do in our South Surrey area. Often over the past 20 years, many of our neighbours have taken to cleaning up this little park out of
desperation to preserve our own gardens from the spread of these volunteer grasses and weeds. When the community of South Surrey was being expanded and developed in the ’80s and ’90s, the City of Surrey demanded developers include ‘green space’ in their planning. Now, the city is planning on demolishing mature trees and scrubs if we don’t step up to the plate. My wife and I have paid our annual land taxes and now pay for our water by meter. Now, I see that you are being paid in the Partners in Parks program for telling us to volunteer our time to keep our ‘green space.’ Well, I say the city needs to cut your salary along with other bureaucratic salaries and put it into a student program that will maintain our land and give our youth employment and community involvement. I believe in the purpose of our ‘green space’ to promote our oxygen and cleaner air; this is one of the reasons we moved here from Vancouver over 20 years ago. The facts are: one tree produces enough oxygen for 10 people to breathe in one year. With this fact being clear, do you really want to cut these beautiful mature trees? I invoke you to have better community senses and manage your budget better, cut the bureaucratic salaries and give us the value in our tax dollars, and stop serving yourselves and making excuses for your bad budgeting.

Drugs, child porn brought to border on busy weekend Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Travellers carrying illicit drugs and suspected child pornography were among those either arrested or turned back at the local border crossings over the holiday weekend. Faith St. John, spokesperson for Canada Border Services Agency, said officers identified numerous suspicious individuals – standouts amongst the 120,515 northbound travellers that were processed over the three days. Among them was a man arrested Canada Day (Friday), after
a search of a vehicle occupied by two Alberta residents found 12.2 grams of marijuana in one of the traveller’s backpacks. That same day, three adults were arrested after images and video of suspected child pornography were found on one of the traveller’s phones. A fifth traveller, a U.S. woman, was arrested at the Pacific Highway border and then returned to the U.S. July 1 after suspected marijuana was found during a luggage search.

No one was injured in the blaze, but “it created a heck of a problem for us,” Chief Thomas Schreiber, of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, said Monday. The fire broke out
at about 8:30 a.m., as occupants of the B.C.plated RV were next in line to cross the border. Schreiber said efforts immediately focused on ensuring the RV occupants, along with travellers in nearby lanes, were safe. “They had to close the traffic lanes immediately around the vehicle and get those cars out of the area,” Schreiber said. “There was a lot of

Afterwards, participants will face the camera for their close up. “Our female photographer helps ease tensions for the photo shoot, making a fun and carefree environment for our girls to embrace the camera,” Pretty in Pink founder Suzanne Smith said in a release. “Pretty in Pink is not a modelling school. The ultimate goal is to build a sense of self-worth and emphasize the girls’ beauty inside and out.” Smith said the experience is to help young women make a smooth transition from childhood to womanhood. “We believe that if we give girls the opportunity to see themselves at their very best, we will inspire them to reach for their brightest future.” Advanced registration is required ($65 includes makeup and hair styling, tutorials, photographer session and an 8x10 photo).

Family Cruising! By Cruise Holidays of White Rock If you have children, part of the appeal of a cruise vacation is that you can all spend some special time together, splashing in the onboard pools, playing games on deck, enjoying delicious food in the dining room and exploring on shore. However, most parents also like the fact that a cruise also allows you to spend some time apart from your kids, knowing that they are well taken care of. Most cruise lines have special programs for children, supervised by crew members who are specially qualified and trained to work with kids. These programs are included in your cruise cost.
Children are grouped by age and provide plenty of fun activities on board and sometimes on shore. These â&#x20AC;&#x153;kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clubsâ&#x20AC;? are popular because kids enjoy having fun with their peers, and because they give parents time to enjoy spa treatments, lectures and other activities that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appeal to kids. Age requirements for kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clubs vary a bit by cruise line â&#x20AC;&#x201C; some start at age three, while some accommodate younger toddlers. If you are travelling with a baby who is too young for organized activities but would love some time to yourself, note that many cruise lines offer babysitting services (sometimes with an additional cost), either in a central nursery or right in your stateroom.

And with the kids practically begging to join their new friends each day, parents can engage in a little fun of their own, from relaxing in an adult-only pool area, to daily activities like wine-tasting or cooking demonstrations. Disneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Oceaneer Club is the ideal place for the younger children to enjoy a wide variety of supervised activities throughout the day. For example, harkening back to Disneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classic film Peter Pan, Disneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Oceaneer Club was created to look like Captain Hookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pirate ship straight out of Never Land.

Epcor accepting applications for new advisory panel Alex Browne Staff Reporter
People who want to provide input on White Rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water quality and delivery â&#x20AC;&#x201C; particularly in light of the E. coli infiltration that caused last summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boilwater advisory and subsequent chlorination policy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; still have an opportunity to stick their oar in. White Rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water provider, Epcor, is accepting applications until next Friday (July 15) for members for its new community advisory panel. The group, which is appointed for a twoyear period and meets three times a year, is
designed to help the utility company assess community priorities about drinking water. These can include water efficiency, legislative and technological changes, pricing, customer care and groundwater issues. But Epcor spokesman Tim le Riche said the panel can also play a role in serious issues such as the boil wateradvisory on August 20, triggered by several high bacteria counts ultimately traced to bird droppings admitted by a worn-out roof seal on an aging reservoir. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The (previous) panel was involved in last summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event,â&#x20AC;? he
said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We asked for their advice and they were particularly helpful in providing feedback.â&#x20AC;?
Epcor says that for the new panel it is looking for 10 to 15 people representing a wide
range of ages, interests and backgrounds, including the general public and also business
customers. Members will be appointed in midAugust with a first
meeting in September. For application details, visit www.epcor.ca/ whiterock

Brain injuries to be studied at SFU Surrey A new research centre at Simon Fraser Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Surrey campus will advance the work of researchers studying the biomechanics of preventing, diagnosing and treating brain and spinal cord injuries. Recently settled in, Carolyn Sparrey, an assistant professor in Mechatronic Systems Engineering (MSE), is using funds from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) to set up a tissue and material characterization facility within the newly established Centre for Biomechatronics and Healthcare Innovation.

Sparreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research focuses on quantifying the mechanisms of traumatic brain and spinal cord injury. The results will help advance the development of new protective devices, diagnostic protocols and treatment strategies for brain and spinal cord injuries. Park is also using NSERC funding to set up a micro-incubation system that will aid in imaging and manipulation of rare circulating tumor cells. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re among more than 70 SFU researchers to receive NSERC funding for research this month, totalling more than $3 million. In addition, SFU biomedical physiologist Glen Tibbits and engineering science professor Carlo Menon have each received funding from NSERC and the Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR) together totalling nearly $1 million. Tibbitsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; research team will develop a new tool for determining the cause of a life-threatening condition that affects 20 per cent of young children after open-heart surgery.

Black cottonwoods are trees for all seasons N
o, it is not snowing; those fluffy white balls floating in the air are the delicate seeds of the black cottonwood tree. Tall, fragrant and fast-growing, cottonwoods are trees of the wetlands. They tolerate standing water and can grow Anne Murray abundantly on floodplains. In the Lower Mainland, they are often found along rivers and streams and in freshwater marshes. Once the soft fluff floats to the ground, the seed it carries sinks into the soil. Saplings soon sprout in sunny locations and the tree will make fast progress, reaching 60 metres tall in optimum conditions. The bark starts off smooth, but as the tree ages it turns pale grey and becomes deeply furrowed. The black cottonwood is a tree that inspires strong sentiments: love it or hate it. For some, the rich, resin smell of the buds and young leaves is evocative of the west, and walking among cottonwoods is a delight at any season. For others, fear of the tree’s reputation as a dangerous limb

shade, providing food for juvenile salmon and other fish in the shallows below. Cottonwoods are also habitat for beautiful western tiger swallowtail butterflies. The trees mature fast but are relatively short-lived. As branches break off, cavities and snags are created which provide perfect nesting and denning holes for great horned owls, wood ducks, downy woodpeckers, northern flickers, tree swallows, squirrels and bats. Margaret Stewart recorded as many as 50 ruffed grouse perched in a local cottonwood tree in the 1890s. The grouse was then a common bird of the Boundary Bay lowlands; it would be a very rare sight today. Riparian – or river-side – vegetation is very important for stabilizing the banks of rivers, and keeping water clean, cool and rich in life.

Province warned sheriff cuts could hinder courts Jeff Nagel Black Press
The provincial government had advance warning from a senior official several weeks ago that cuts to the number of sheriffs guarding court houses could spark trouble in the justice system. In a May 31 letter to B.C.’s chief justices, copied to the deputy attorney general, Assistant Deputy Minister Rob Wood noted full-time staff levels in the court services branch had already been cut nine per cent since 2008/09. “These fiscal changes have made it progressively more difficult to maintain operational service levels in both court security and court administration,” Wood said. Deeper cuts took effect at the beginning of June and Wood’s letter set out minimum service levels for court registries and sheriffs, including a system of roving sheriffs to spread staff further. Wood’s letter indicated the number of court clerks has also been cut and the ministry would respond by reassigning court registry staff to act as clerks as needed. He cautioned those levels would not be sustainable for long. Wood also noted it would be up to judges to gauge the security risk and decide if they can operate without a dedicated sheriff using the rover system. “The safety of all court participants is of paramount concern,” he said. “We will do everything we can, in consultation with the judiciary,

By late June, Attorney General Barry Penner – after hearing directly from judges about their security concerns – pledged to reverse the cuts to sheriffs’ hours. But the cut hours have not been permanently restored and are only being scheduled a week at a time, said Dean Purdy, spokesman for the union representing sheriffs. “We’re concerned that they’re so keyed into the budgetary side of things they’re going to let the court system slide rather than truly fund the system,” he said.

senior managers in the system are currently filling in for sheriffs in Victoria because of the lack of deputy sheriffs. “You can’t do justice on the cheap,” he said. The NDP lashed the province for allowing “chaos” in the courts to continue. “It appears that when making this announcement, the Liberals were primarily interested in temporary damage control, not returning security to our courts so they can function again,” NDP attorney general critic Leonard Krog said. Penner said he doesn’t want the shortage of sheriffs to result in trial delays and added his ministry is working to find more money to support staffing levels. He said auxiliary and part-time sheriffs whose hours were cut had always been called out as required.

Arts Reporter
he current White Rock Players Club presentation represents something different for the club – a partnership with a Vancouver-based company that has become one to watch in community and semi-professional theatre circles. Multiple award-winning Fighting Chance Productions is co-presenting the musical Nunsense (July 6 to 23 at Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd.). It’s an irreverent 1985 off-Broadway classic, with book, music and lyrics by Dan Goggin, which has spawned at least six sequels and two television versions. “Five singing nuns – what more could you want?” asked Fighting Chance artistic director Ryan Mooney, who also directed the 2006 Fraser Valley Gilbert & Sullivan Society production of The Mikado. He added the crowdpleasing, all-female show seemed like an ideal choice for a first foray into White Rock, given the relative ease of staging it and the chronic short supply of male musical theatre performers. Nunsense purports to show what happens when five nuns with show business backgrounds decide to put on a variety show to raise money for the burials of four of their order, the Little Sisters of Hoboken, which has been devastated in a “tainted vichyssoise” incident. A tightrope-walking Mother Superior,
streetwise stardom-seeking Sister Robert Anne, the ballet obsessed Sister Mary Leo, the straight-shooting Sister Mary Hubert and the forgetful Sister Mary Amnesia (whose conscience is expressed through her constant puppet companion Sister Mary Annette) all provide ample opportunities for scene stealing – and the current production is a vehicle for five strong Lower Mainland musical theatre talents, Mooney noted. Among them are White Rock resident Nicole Stevens and two performers well known to local audiences from FVGSS productions: Janet Glassford and Cathy Wilmott. Wilmott recently won 2010 Community Theatre Coalition honours in the musical or pantomime category for both oustanding lead actress (Fighting Chance’s Forbidden Broadway) and supporting actress (FVGSS’ HMS Pinafore), while Glassford has also won praise in Metro Theatre and Arts Club productions. Completing the cast are Keri Smith, who was a cast member of Fighting Chance’s internationallyrecognized The Laramie Project, and Celia Reid, fresh from her portrayal of Peggy Sawyer in Metro Theatre’s 42nd Street. Musical director Vashti Fairbairn is also well known to local audiences for her stellar work in directing FVGSS orchestras. The Nunsense co-production, which follows a similar arrangement to
co-presenting Forbidden Broadway with the Langley Players, allows Fighting Chance artistic control while the White Rock Players Club provides the venue – and both parties split the door. Having such a ready-made show is a deal that should prove advantageous for the Players Club. In just four years of existence, Fighting Chance has already amassed an enviable record of achievement, including critically acclaimed versions of Sweeney Todd, Forbidden Broadway, Rent and The Musical of Musicals: The Musical. Nunsense will be the 20th production for the company, which scooped a total of six CTC awards last year, including one for Mooney as outstanding director for The Wedding Singer. “When I first started the company I was 26 and I found it hard to get directing gigs,” he said. “The ones I got went very well, but it was hard to convince people to let me direct.” There was also a market, he believed, for different kinds of shows that weren’t being produced by most community theatre groups. The answer seemed to be to start a new company, he concluded. “Fortunately I had friends who were set designers and lighting designers and costume designers, and they all had to get stuff to put on their resumes.” The mutual need has worked well for Fighting Chance, Mooney said, and he’s
happy to consider it a “stepping stone” for many talents on the way up. “We’ve been really fortunate that people want to do shows with us, and we treat them with respect. We’re also fortunate that while a lot of theatre reviewers won’t go to community theatre shows, they have reviewed ours. While he likes to think of Fighting Chance as “semi professional” in its artistic aspirations, it is technically a communitytheatre group. “We’re a non-profit society and we have a board of directors,” he said. As artistic director, he said, he brings everything to the board for its approval – but the board, under the group’s bylaws, is appointed by the artistic director. “It’s not to keep creative control, but ensure people are on the same wavelength,” Mooney said. “In my experience, people get caught up in what they would like to perform. We want to keep things fresh and alive. Nobody’s coming in with their own agenda.” Mooney also said he’s glad Fighting Chance has a “working board.” “It’s not just people who show up the AGM and not just theatre people – we have people with a business background as well.” The show will play Wednesdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m. Tickets can be reserved by calling 604536-7535 or visiting www.whiterockplayers. ca

A new series of mosaics, officially unveiled Wednesday, bring a touch of heritage to Semiahmoo Shopping Centre. Created by Vancouver-based sculptor and mosaic artist Glen Andersen, the 13 colourful mosaic tablets – celebrating Surrey’s pioneer route, the Semiahmoo Trail – have been set into the sidewalk along 16 Avenue just west of 152 Street. Linked by a vine-like design, the tablets illustrate the natural flora and fauna found along the original Semiahmoo Trail, which once passed through the property now occupied by the shopping centre. The mosiacs, co-sponsored by the shopping centre and the City of Surrey, acknowledge the history that preceded development of the area – but also highlight that much of the trail still exists in South Surrey, protected under a heritagedesignation bylaw. Originally a route created at the time of the 1858 gold rush, the trail, later known as the Semiahmoo Wagon Road, ran diagonally through Surrey, connecting the community of Brownsville on the south bank of the Fraser River with the settlement of Semiahmoo – now the City of Blaine, Wash.

Although rail transportation and the automobile spelled the end of the most active use of the Semiahmoo Trail, and much of it has been replaced by paved roads in North Surrey, some South Surrey sections have been left as a quiet recreational corridor of unpaved trail surrounded by indigenous plants, trees and fauna.

arts & entertainment Arnold Mikelson art show returns to Peninsula for 38th year
Nature a popular subject at upcoming festival Alex Browne Arts Reporter
Two painters recently arrived in the Semiahmoo Peninsula area are among more than 100 artists whose work is featured this weekend and next at the 38th annual Arnold Mikelson Festival of Arts. Painters April Lacheur and David Patterson will both be bringing their highly individualistic, simplified approaches to landscapes and natural subjects to the annual festival, which returns to the Mind and Matter Gallery, 13743 16 Ave., July 9-10 and July 16-17. In addition to paintings, the festival also highlights pottery, wood sculpture, stone sculpture, glass blowing, batiks and jewelry. Lacheur, who moved from Vancouver Island to White Rock last summer, is taking part in the festival for her second year. She said the threeacre forest-setting of the festival is a perfect complement to her tree paintings, which are executed in a style employing bold colours and clean lines. Among her favourite subjects are whimsical trees with twisting roots, but she also paints longlegged birds and bright florals. In addition to original paintings she will also be selling a selection of
art cards and prints. For examples of Lacheur’s style, visit www.yapespaints.com The Vancouver-born Patterson, who moved to the area last year from the Burnaby area, has also previously exhibited work in the Mikelson festival. A keen musician as well as a painter, he has developed a unique manner of working with oil paint and sand to create textured canvases that bring out light and depth of form with unusual vibrancy. His evolving style emphasizes symmetrical, mirror-image compositions to create almost dream-like landscapes, while

even his abstracts exhibit a similar passion for simplified forms. “Nature is always an everpresent element in my work,” he said in a statement. “Painting for me is the blending of the outside world with the inside world and expressing those feelings onto a two-dimensional surface.” For more information and examples of Patterson’s work, visit www. pattersonpaintings. com For more information about the Arnold Mikelson Festival of Arts, visit www. mindandmatterart.com

When Phil Q. Davey sang “I’ll get by with a little help from my friends” at the Pacific Inn’s Rumba Room on Saturday (July 2), he really meant it. The musician, impresario and sound engineer was the guest of honour at a special fundraising event designed to offset some of his losses from a recent theft of equipment. Davey was out an estimated $4,000 after a break-in at Organic Connections Cafe. But at the end of the night Saturday he was handed some $3,573 in cash by event producer Jason Buie and Rod Dranfield, president of the White Rock Blues Society. “I feel like a small country in Africa and the helicopters have landed,” Davey said Monday. “It’s incredible – there’s no way to express how grateful I am. I’m never going to feel unappreciated again.” -Alex Browne

Weeklong arts fest in Harrison kicks off Jessica Peters Black Press
It all starts Friday night. Every summer, the beach comes alive with music, theatre and an explosion of colourful offerings of art and whimsy, thanks to the long-running Harrison Festival of the Arts. Friday night, the flavour is Cajun, as Steve Riley and the Mamou Playboys hit the Memorial stage. Then Tambura Rasa’s five-piece act, which includes fiery Spanish guitar, a fully orchestrated Baladi gypsy string section and burning Afro-Latin percussion, will take the stage on Saturday. Hans Theesink and Terry Evans play this Sunday, and he’ll bring the blues from Europe across the pond. Monday will mean a break from music as the focus turns to all things love, with the Literary Cafe. Tuesday night will feature two plays chosen from the UFV Directors’ Festival, The Art of Self-Defense and The Dagger’s Before Me. On Wednesday, July 13, it’s back to the beats, with the Celtic group Beoga. Etran Finatawa has made a name for themselves around the world, from their homeland of Niger. Friday, July 15, Ti-Coca and Wanga Neges takes the stage, followed by Hapa on Saturday, July 16. The festival closes with James Cotton on July 17. But there’s more to the festival than

Young scientist harnesses power of raindrops Jennifer Lang Black Press
Inspiration can come from anywhere. For Isaac Newton, the father of modern physics, it was an apple falling from a tree that helped him better understand gravity. In Tyler Tardiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, it struck one rainy day while he was watching an item about turbines and electricity on the Discovery Channelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s science show, Daily Planet. Tardi happened to look outside at a drainpipe leading from the roof of the shed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was water flying out of the gusher and I thought, if I put a turbine in the gusher, I could generate electricity,â&#x20AC;? says Tardi, back from the recent 2011 Canada Wide Science Fair in Toronto, where he picked up a silver medal for his Rain Energy Device, or RED. The 12-yearold Sunrise Ridge Elementary student was

The savings are small, but Tardi believes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got potential. He figures with further optimization, his innovation may help offset the cost of having to buy electricity or could be used to run mechanical things. Attending the Canada Wide Science Fair is something of a family tradition; when his older brother, Jordan, attended the competition he earned two honourable mentions, sparking the younger siblingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest to get there one day himself. Good thing it rained. Strict rules were in place at the Canada Wide Science Fair; flowing water wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed. So he brought a DVD video demonstration along instead. His project was assessed by 13 judges. Another student, Lord Tweedsmuir Secondaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sarah Gordon, returned home
with a bronze medal, $300, and two $1,000 entrance scholarships to the University of Ottawa and the University of Western Ontario. Her project aimed to assist people with Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease and dementia. She created a theoretical design of a home that combines existing technologies to enable patients to live independently longer. Cloverdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budding scientists first won science fairs at the school, district and regional level in order to advance to the nationals. Along with a silver
medal, Tyler earned $700 and a $2,000 entrance scholarship to the University of Western Ontario. University is still a long way off, but he plans to become an electrical engineer. Surprisingly, considering the rainy, cool weather that plagued the Lower Mainland this spring, Tyler doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a strong opinion either way on the rain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind rain,â&#x20AC;? he says, smiling â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and no doubt thinking of the energy potential thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just waiting to be harnessed.

oftball athletes Jennifer Yee and Melanie Matthews have played at world championship tournaments and have participated in the Summer Olympic Games. But there’s always something special about the first few weeks of July. That’s when Yee, from North Delta, and Matthews, from Surrey, sport the red and white national team colours at one of the most anticipated fastpitch events in the world. This year, the pair will play for Team Canada at the 2011 Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship at Softball City. “I always look forward to this tournament, playing near home is nice,” said Yee, a four-year veteran of the national team. “You always want to put on a show for friends and family, so there is some pressure. But it’s a good kind of pressure.” Five of the top six national teams in the world will be at

Melanie Matthews and Jennifer Yee will suit up for Canada this week. Softball City in the women’s International category, including the world champion United States, runner-up Japan, bronze-medalist Canada, Venezuela and Australia. “It’s fun, I look forward to it every year,” said Matthews, a leftfielder, “We’re all used to it, and the fans have always been so supportive.”
Yee, who plays second base, spent the week in Whitehorse at the Senior Women’s National Team Selection Camp, and was on the 17-player roster for the Canadian Open announced by Softball Canada yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon. Two other local players were also named to the team: catcher/
infielder Paige Collings and pitcher Jocelyn Cater, both of South Delta. “I liked Whitehorse, the people are very friendly and we were very well received,” said Yee Wednesday morning, while on the highway for a day-trip to Skagway, Alaska. “We had a lot of people out to watch the Red versus White scrimmages we had every night.” While Yee has spent the last week on the softball diamond, Matthews might take a game or two to get back into the swing of things. A full-time employee at PricewaterhouseCoopers in Vancouver, the 27-year-old admits “it’s been a challenge to juggle ball and work.” Off-field commitments prevented her from attending the selection camp in the Yukon, but she will join the team tomorrow evening (Friday) for an exhibition game against the California A’s. “I definitely need to get a few swings in,” said Matthews. “I’m looking forward to getting back on the field, and not have to worry about work.”
Let the games begin The Scotiabank Canadian Open International Fastpitch Championship officially opens its gates Saturday, with action set to get underway at 10:30 a.m., when the White Rock Renegades battle the California A’s at Softball City in the first game of the women’s division. That game will be followed by the first battle of international sides, as Australia faces off against Venezuela at 1 p.m. Canada’s first game is Saturday, 6:30 p.m. against Venezuela. The tournament’s Futures (U19) division also kicks off Saturday, while the Showcase (U16) games begin Monday, 8 a.m. at Cloverdale Athletic Park. For more, visit www. canadianopenfastpitch.com

Cyclists set for Superweek Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
Some of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best cyclists â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including many with Lower Mainland ties â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will again be pedalling along Peninsula streets, when the Tour de White Rock is staged next week. The popular three-day event â&#x20AC;&#x201C; part of BC Superweek â&#x20AC;&#x201C; begins Friday, July 15 with the hill climb, and follows Saturday afternoon with the Choices Market Criterium. Then on Sunday, July 17, the main event hits the pavement, with the Peace Arch News Road Race. New this year is an expanded hill climb, which begins with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just Giverâ&#x20AC;? amateur race, at 5:30 p.m., in which anyone brave enough can sign up to race the Buena Vista Avenue route. Cost is $20 per rider. Following the amateur race, the pros will try their luck on the same course, which is a 700-m climb.

Eckford signs with Coyotes Company is Gary Ahuja Black Press
Former Surrey Eagle Tyler Eckford is hoping to land in the desert. The 25-year-old free agent defenceman signed a one-year two-way contract with the Phoenix Coyotes on Monday. If he cracks the NHL lineup, he will earn $525,000. “I think there is a good opportunity for me to play in the NHL there,” Eckford said, adding that a few teams expressed interest in signing him. “I am definitely excited and from talking to (Phoenix), it seems like they want me there. It is a good fit.” He joined the Coyotes organization after consulting with his agent and family and deciding this was the best fit. Phoenix’s minor-league affiliate is the Portland Pirates of the American Hockey League. Eckford grew up playing with the Langley Minor Hockey Association before playing junior ‘A’ with the Surrey Eagles – where he helped lead the Birds to a B.C. Hockey League title in 2005. He was a seventh round draft pick of the New Jersey Devils in the 2004

Following a stellar collegiate career with the University of Alaska-Fairbanks — which included winning the Central Collegiate Hockey Association’s top offensive defenceman award — he signed with the Devils organization. He has spent the bulk of the past three years at the AHL level, and has also played seven NHL games, registering one point. In his first two pro seasons with the Lowell Devils, Eckford

scored 10 goals and 47 assists and made the AHL all-star game in his second season. But last year saw Eckford limited to half a season of play, and his production dipped to a dozen points. He did thank New Jersey general manager Lou Lamoriello, the man who drafted him, for the opportunity the organization provided. “I can’t thank them enough for everything that organization has done for me,” Eckford said. “I just think it is time to start fresh and move on.” Phoenix has six defencemen under contract for next season, with another all-star Keith Yandle, a restricted free agent who has yet to sign. Having his decision out of the way has put Eckford at ease. “It is definitely more relaxing,” he said. “Now I can just focus on getting into the best shape I can and get ready for September.” Eckford will spend the summer in Langley working out. “Any time a team wants you and they are positive and excited to have you, it makes you excited,” he said.

Larsen pitches one-hitter; Tritons in seventh The White Rock Tritons won a pair of road games Monday afternoon against the Victoria Mariners to jump from ninth to seventhplace in the B.C. Premier Baseball League. The Tritons opened with an 11-4 win in Game 1 Monday, and followed up with a 3-0 shutout in the second contest. White Rock has now won seven of its last 10 games, with six left on the regular-season schedule. The top eight PBL teams make the post-season. “We’re playing our best ball of the season,” said White Rock head coach Russ Smithson. Offence was the key in Monday’s first victory, as
White Rock hitters pounded Victoria’s three pitchers for 12 runs on 11 hits. Catcher Dustin Dhanani and third baseman Joel Lamont had three RBI apiece, while Josh
Larsen had a double and Evan Douglas had two. Nathan Trueblood earned the win on the mound, striking out four and allowing just one earned-
run in four-and-one-thirds innings. He was relieved in the fifth frame by Tanner Sandstrom, while Evan Cornfield and Sean McGuire also saw time on the hill.
In the nightcap, Larsen took the ball for White Rock and as he’s done so often this season, proceeded to mow down the opposition. The Surrey native improved
his win-loss record to 6-6 this season, striking out 10 in seven innings of work, allowing just one hit and no runs. – Nick Greenizan
CELEBRATE. INSPIRE.YOUTH. Robbie Tice
New team for Tice South Surrey professional soccer player Robbie Tice is moving to a new team again – but at least this time will stay in the same country. The 21-year-old Peace Arch Soccer alum signed recently with Norwegian club Kjelsås IL, which is based out of Oslo and plays in Norway’s second division. Prior to joining Kjelsås, Tice had been playing with the reserve team for another Norwegian side, FK Bodø/Glimt. “I’m really excited to be here, and hoping to play lots of games for the club this season,” Tice said in an email. “Oslo is a great city, and I’m looking forward to playing here.” Since heading to Europe two years ago, Tice has been well-travelled. Prior to moving to Norway, he spent time with Scotland second division club, Ayr United’s U19 team, and has also suited up for Nantwich Town and Crewe Alexandra FC, both in England. - Nick Greenizan

White Rock Pump Station Upgrades
The right product for your project.
Summer 2011
They have everything you need to make your landscape vision, a reality. Including the experts to help you get from concept to completion, without feeling overwhelmed.
During summer 2011, Metro Vancouver, in coordination with the City of White Rock, will be upgrading the White Rock Pump Station located near Marine Drive and Oxford Street. These upgrades will involve the installation of a new odour and corrosion treatment system called SuperOxygenation. This new system, which mixes pure oxygen with sewage, will help to: · eliminate odours coming from the pump station · decrease odours and corrosion in the receiving sewer mains · reduce maintenance and repair costs over time · eliminate the need to use additional chemicals to treat odour and corrosion. As part of this project, a sound insulated kiosk will be constructed on the south side of the pump station. This new kiosk will house an oxygen generator, a compressor and auxiliary equipment. An oxygen-mixing cone, approximately 3.7 metres in height, will be installed next to the kiosk.
True One-Stop Landscape Shop • Soils, mulch, sand, gravel & decorative rock • Retaining walls and pavers • Concrete products • Natural stone • Water garden and pond supplies
When complete, White Rock will have the first ever SuperOxygenation system in all of Canada. Pick up or delivery 7 days a week, including holidays.

A Good Samaritan who was in the area stopped to assist until police backup arrived, but left before the officers could thank him, she said.

Traffic fines pay off The City of White Rock is to receive grants totalling $333,885, with a chunk of the funds ($216,993) collected from traffic fines. The provincial government announced the Strategic Community Investment Fund grants Tuesday. The portion from the traffic fines – distributed through the Traffic Fine Revenue Sharing program – is to help cities that directly pay for police enforcement costs. Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg said the funds “give White Rock the flexibility to re-invest money in projects that it has identified as priorities within the community.”
