Police investigating a June 16 sexual assault in South Surrey are warning the public that their prime suspect has a history of violent attacks against women – and they don’t know where he is. The assault occurred in Southmere Village Park, 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, and investigation has Dardan Elbasani led to charges of sexual assault suspect causing bodily harm against a 23-year-old man. Police say Dardan Elbasani – who is also wanted on outstanding warrants in Surrey, White Rock and Langley – is considered a risk to public safety. He is described as a clean-shaven Caucasian with short, sandy-blond hair. He is 5’9”, with a lean build and partially finished tattoo on his right arm. Anyone with information as to Elbasani’s whereabouts is asked to contact police at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. – Tracy Holmes

Surrey man faces multiple charges in May 18 death of White Rock woman

Hit-and-run suspect arrested leaving a store Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Two months to the day after the hit-andrun death of White Rock resident Marilyn Laursen, police announced an arrest. Cpl. Annie Linteau, with RCMP’s E Division, said Monday a 19-year-old Surrey man was arrested Saturday and faces six charges in connection with Laursen’s death May 18. Linteau would not say exactly what led to the arrest, or if the accused owned the car that struck Laursen.

“I can’t say. It’s really part of the investigation,” Linteau said Monday. “He was arrested in Surrey, not at home. He was leaving a store, so, no, he didn’t turn himself in. That’s all I can say about that.” Laursen, 56, was hit just before 10 p.m., as she crossed Johnston Road at Thrift Avenue. Just prior to hitting Laursen and leaving the scene, the driver had avoided a police stop. The vehicle involved was found abandoned shortly after, in the area of 160 Street and King George Boulevard, police say.

Kyle Brandon Danyliuk is charged with “fail to stop at the scene of an accident causing death, fail to stop at the scene of an accident causing bodily harm, dangerous driving causing death, dangerous driving causing bodily harm, flight from police causing death and flight from police causing bodily harm.” He is due back in Surrey Provincial Court July 25. At its peak, the investigation involved about 40 officers. It was led by Surrey RCMP’s serious crime unit, and supported

by White Rock RCMP, the Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service, Integrated Forensic Identification Services and other Lower Mainland police units. Officers “went above and beyond” to bring the file to a resolution, said Bill Fordy, head of Surrey’s serious crime unit. “We were all very pleased to be able to tell Marilyn Laursen’s family that a suspect was charged.” White Rock RCMP Staff Sgt. Lesli Roseberry said she believes the news will bring a sense of relief to the community.

Fusion Festival tainted by Sunday night stabbing

60,000 party in Surrey The Surrey Fusion Festival attracted thousands to Holland Park on the weekend, but a stabbing Sunday night put a damper on festivities. An 18-year-old Surrey man is facing charges after a fight broke out at about 9 p.m. at the south end of the park. A 22-year-old Surrey man was stabbed in the back. The victim was taken to a local hospital and treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Police believe the victim and the attackers were known to each other and said Monday that more arrests are expected. It was an unfortunate ending to an extremely popular and well-attended event heading into its fourth

year at the park, located across Old Yale Road from the Central City Mall in North Surrey. This year, about 60,000 people went to the weekend festival, which included pavilions from 36 different countries and an array of entertainment.

Laurie Cavan, Surrey’s general manager of parks, recreation and culture, said the rain also brought some challenges, reasoning that’s why the crowd dropped from 90,000 last year. India won the best pavilion, coming in just ahead of Ukraine. Tying for third spot was Vietnam and Poland. “Other than the weather, it was a great weekend,” Cavan said. “We had the most ever cultural pavilions… it was great food, great showcasing of cultures.” Next year’s festival will take place on the same weekend Surrey is hosting the B.C. Summer Games. “We’re looking at ways to work on synergies between the two events,” Cavan said. -Kevin Diakiw

news Protected views would have to be previously existing, under revisions

Staff suggest pruning White Rock policy Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Suggestions for changes to a contentious White Rock policy governing the pruning and removal of trees on public property have been made. Considered by city council Monday night – after Peace Arch News press deadline – proposed revisions to Policy 611 include replacing a provision that allows residents to apply for the pruning or removal of any tree on city land with one that allows applications to prune or remove a tree that has grown to obscure an established view. “The revised policy recognizes the inher-

ent qualities and value of a tree on city land to the community, and the city will not consider applications to prune or remove a tree… due to leaf, flower, pith or seed litter, size or shade,” states a report by Rob Thompson, director of municipal operations. “The city will consider an application to re-establish a view that has been obscured by tree growth, but will not consider a request to prune or remove a tree on city land to establish a new view.” Policy 611 was first approved by council in June 2010, and was intended to give staff and council guidance in dealing with applications to trim, prune or remove trees on city lands.

It became a source of contention earlier this year, after council granted an appeal that resulted in the removal of two trees in the 15100-block of Royal Avenue. The applicant said the trees were blocking views. In his report, Thompson also suggests applications regarding city trees only be considered from White Rock property owners who have lived at their property for at least two years; and that such owners be allowed to apply no more than once every two years. Requests to prune or remove trees in city parks should not be considered, Thompson adds. And, all decisions would be final. If the policy is approved, applicants would

have to meet two key criteria: prove a view has become obscured by growth; and, have support of 80 per cent of respondents living within 30 metres of the tree in question. Describing the revised policy as a “more proactive approach to the management and enhancement of the city’s urban forest assets,” Thompson notes it may require more resources to implement. He recommended council direct staff to proceed with public consultation, with results to be presented in September. If approved, any additional funds required to implement it will be brought for consideration in the city’s 2012 financial plan.

Neighbours surprised

Langley teens arrested

Covenant lifted

A stand of old-growth trees on a Morgan Creek blueberry farm have been felled in recent weeks, upsetting area neighbours who were under the impression the trees were protected. Several trees on the 16484 High Park Ave. property, located in the Agricultural Land Reserve, were believed to have been under a protective covenant because they provided a nesting area for eagles and other raptors. However, the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations released the property’s restrictions earlier this year. Neighbours were supposed to have been informed of the decision by a letter from the ministry in early June, however, most neighbours, including Rob Ward and Ellie Harvie, whose property at 3528 164A St. backs onto the site of the trees, had not received the letter until they asked for an email copy on July 7, after trees began to fall. Ward was told that due to a technicality – the restrictive covenant had never been approved by the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) before being registered at the Land Title Office – the treed area was no longer protected. “This requirement is intended to ensure that such agreements do not restrict the agricultural uses within the ALR,” resource management director Jennifer McGuire writes in the letter. “As such, our ministry recently submitted a request to the ALC to have the subject covenant approved. The ALC has refused our ministry’s request and have advised us to have the covenant released.” In a letter from the ALC dated April 14, the ministry was told the property owner wanted the covenant released to accommodate expanded agricultural use of the land, and that the trees were no longer considered nesting areas. “As the commission understands it, the particular nest in question is no longer present,” the letter states. “As such, the commission is of the view that the original reason for the covenant is obsolete and that the covenant is prohibiting agriculture.” Surrey’s general manager of planning and development, Jean Lamontagne, confirmed on July 8 that the farm owner had all the necessary permits to remove the trees. According to Harvie, a surveyor is expected to examine the remaining trees that border the neighbouring yards in the coming weeks, to determine exactly

Teens who allegedly failed to stop for White Rock RCMP late Thursday evening are now facing charges in connection with a stolen vehicle. Police, with the aid of the RCMP’s Air 1 helicopter and a dog team, located three Langley residents in their late teens around 2 a.m. Friday. The trio was found “within blocks” of where a stolen vehicle was abandoned on a front lawn in the 1900-block of 148 Street. The air search caught the attention of area residents, who report watching and listening to the helicopter circle the area for about two hours, starting just before midnight. “For it to go on and on, it was really something,” said Ruby Gernon. “It kept me up, not knowing what was happening.” A neighbour of Gernon’s said she saw two people run from the area. “When the helicopter sort of moved away for a minute, they sort of darted out from bushes and took off running down a walkway into a greenbelt,” the woman said. A Surrey RCMP spokesman said the detachment fielded several noise complaints as a result of the helicopter search. Gernon said she was just hopeful that police caught whoever they were looking for. “I was praying that whoever did something was caught by police.”

Georgia and Sterling Ginther put up a sign to protest the cutting of a stand of trees (at left). whose property they are standing on. When reached for comment by phone last week, a woman who identified herself as one of the farm’s owners confirmed that a number of trees were being removed from the property, but declined to comment further. The ministry’s letter – which lists an incorrect address for the blueberry farm in the subject line – noted the farm owner had been asked to contact neighbours prior to any clearing activities, however, many in the neighborhood were unaware of plans to remove any trees.

“That certainly didn’t happen,” Harvie said. “The first I knew of it was when I heard the chainsaws.” Neighbour Tyler Ginther – whose children, Sterling and Georgia, were out putting up “Save The Trees” signs on 164A Street on July 7 – said he and his family are also unimpressed with the outcome, in which, he said, a nesting area for owls and eagles has been removed for “another half acre of blueberries.” “I guess with the ALC, the right to produce food overrides all other considerations.”

Surrey RCMP on the hunt for a suspect in several vehicle breakand-enters had a little help finding their man Monday morning – when the suspect himself flagged down a police vehicle. Police say a dog team called to assist in the search arrested a man near 140 Street and Crescent Road around 1 a.m., after a pedestrian waved over a police vehicle. Items taken from vehicles near 33 Street and 143A Street were found on the pedestrian, police say. Investigators say it is unclear why the man waved police over. A 22-year-old White Rock man faces charges.

The candidate who came in second highest in the polls in South Surrey-White RockCloverdale in May’s federal election is back – this time as a provincial candidate for the NDP in SurreyWhite Rock. Susan Keeping was formally nominated at a constituency meeting Sunday afternoon at Ocean Park Library. Keeping, a longtime White Rock resident, social activist and executive director of the Newton Advocacy Group Society, was nominated by acclamation, NDP constituency vicepresident Gord Savard said. “I feel excited about the opportunity,” Keeping told Peace Arch News Monday. “One of my driving forces is to create change around government policies, which are sometimes introduced without looking at all the angles and can actually result in more homelessness and an increase in poverty.”

Fraser Health is stepping up efforts to steer seniors away from costly hospital or longterm care beds if they can be supported and treated in their own homes. The health authority has hired five quick response case managers – based at Royal Columbian, Surrey Memorial, Burnaby, Abbotsford Regional and Peace Arch hospitals – to work with geriatric nurses to flag incoming patients at ERs who can instead be sent home with bolstered supports. That’s one of a series of initiatives underway collectively dubbed “Home is Right” – a broad effort to change the mindset of hospital officials, health care workers and families. “Home with appropriate supports – not hospital, not residential care – is the best place for seniors to manage their chronic conditions and live out their final days,” says Lynda Foley, Fraser Health’s executive director of home health and end of life care. Most seniors prefer to stay in their own homes, with their pets, belongings and family. They have what they need, can be more active and social, and they avoid the risks of hospitalborne infections. Parked in a wheelchair or stretcher in hospital, they can quickly lose muscle strength and typically take longer to recover. And hospitals will simply hit a breaking point as the demographic bulge of seniors grows if the chronically ill elderly continue to be primarily handled by the acute care system. “We know that tsunami is coming at us,” Foley said. “If we don’t change the system, we’re not going to be able to sustain it into the future.” The trick is to deliver needed supports into homes. Foley said that strategic shift is underway and has been gaining momentum since January, when Fraser Health formally set home care as the first option to be considered for elderly patients who no longer need a hospital bed. She gives the example of an 85-year-old man who arrives at hospital with symptoms from his end-stage heart disease. He might not be admitted but instead diverted from the ER back home where whatever care is needed can be arranged. The quick-response care manager who made that decision would actually accompany him

editorial

Tax hikes must be fair for all he carbon tax was the first tax increase. Then the provincial government introduced the HST. And on Canada Day, the carbon tax marked its first anniversary with a jump at the pump, another 1.11 cents a litre. Now, Metro Vancouver mayors, with the provincial government’s blessing, want to increase the gas tax by two cents a litre. As if motorists in the region don’t pay enough for gas already – among the highest rates in North America – the tax increase will only help pay for a portion of the transit improvements sought, including the long-awaited Evergreen SkyTrain line to Coquitlam, an 11-kilometre route with a current price tag of $1.4 billion. The $400-million transit plan also outlines upgrades to buses and SeaBuses, roads and cycling lanes. The extra two cents on gas will raise about $40 million a year, half the amount needed annually to fund the plan. So mayors also want to introduce a small vehicle levy ($10 to $40 a year) and a property tax increase. When does the bleeding stop? Last week, White Rock Couns. Al Campbell and Grant Meyer noted the increased costs of gas were driving many motorists – themselves included – south of the border to fill their tanks. Road tolls – which may not be that far away – will also have an inhibiting effect on business and the way people choose to spend their rapidly shrinking dollars. No doubt Metro Vancouver needs to get with the times, to expand transit and try to eliminate congestion and reduce pollution. The money has to come from somewhere, and the shift, as we’ve seen with tolls on the Golden Ears Bridge and the HST, is to tax consumption. The gas tax does that. But with salaries lagging behind inflation, and inflated housing prices that rival New York, London and San Francisco, not to mention average residential property tax hikes each year of around 3.5 per cent – people just don’t have that much more to give. One day, governments will have to figure out a way to cut costs, spend less, or voters will tell them. For now, we need these transit improvements, to get with the 21st century, to stop just building roads. So increasing taxes is a necessary evil. But it must be done in an equitable way, like tolls on all bridges, maybe even roads; all motorists must pay, not just those who drive the most, because they don’t yet have the benefit of taking SkyTrain.

In B.C., weather has become tough to ignore

as political turmoil overseas. This is B.C.’s largely symbolic nod to the concern that extreme weather events are accelerating due to huge consumption of fossil fuels and emissions of greenhouse gases. I’ve been careful not to make any sweeping statements about the evolving science of climate change. But the sheer power of recent weather events, and the scars left by bark beetles and fires, are difficult to ignore. Australia has just taken bolder steps than those of B.C., imposing a carbon tax on the country’s 500 largest carbon emitters. The government proposes to collect the revenues for three years and invest them in renewable energy, transition for coal and steel industries and tax cuts for consumers who will have industrial carbon taxes passed on to them in the price of goods. Then the Australian carbon tax is supposed to convert to an emissions trading system designed to push industry into a cleaner future. B.C.’s carbon tax doesn’t exempt industry as its critics sometimes claim. The tax is imposed on all fuels used in industry, but hasn’t been extended to industrial process emissions. By far the largest greenhouse gas source in B.C. remains vehicles, at around 40 per cent of the total. • Another highlight of the trip was the visible resurgence of the forest industry. May’s trade figures show B.C. lumber sales to China have surpassed the U.S. for the first time. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Ocean rescues left to chance Editor: Re: Water rescue, July 5. I see you made a front-page story out of a Good Samaritan rescue – with picture and all. The story would have been better if you had some of your facts correct. I happen to be friends with the “passerby” who just “happened” to have his boat and motor on standby. The truth of the matter is this is not the first time he and his wife have had to drop everything, rush to take their boat from their home and rescue someone in need. They live across from the beach. Since no one bothered to ask them their names, I won’t be mentioning them either. Your reporter says a middle-aged man was rescued. Not the case. He was in his mid-20s and the rescuer is middle-aged. (Editor’s note: The approximate age of the victim was provided by the Crescent Beach Coast Guard Auxiliary. No names were available.) As I look at the picture on the front page, I am further disturbed. Do you see the fireman on the beach? Do you see the very choppy water? Do you see the man being rescued helping his rescuer bring in the boat to shore fighting the waves? We have been wondering for years why this waterfront community has no access to the water to help a swimmer or boater in distress. The Coast Guard Auxiliary is doing what they are told, but has anyone out there been on the water and experienced how far it is from Crescent Beach to White Rock beach? Driving here would have been much faster. White Rock should have a small craft – a Sea-Doo perhaps – locked up and at the ready down by the shore. What about a lockup on the pump house at the base of Oxford Street? I am thinking it is too far in an emergency to get to the end of the pier in a hurry. There have been many incidents with swimmers as well over the years, and we watched from across the street and hillside while firemen, policemen and paramedics watch from shore – none of them getting wet. Will it take another few deaths before this is taken seriously? We are proud of our beachfront. It should be kept safe, and our community needs to be more responsible with our shore. Please fill us in, is there a water rescue plan in place with our firemen, policemen and paramedics? We all need to know, and not only when there is a fatality. It is summer now, and we all need to know. Now! Sharon Greyson, White Rock

Rainfall could be legendary Editor: St. Swithens Day was on July 15. An old legend has it that if it rains on this day it will rain for the 40 days and 40 nights following.

In other words, it will be a wet summer! I can only hope the wet we have had already is ‘a deposit on account.’ Rev. David Cook, White Rock

Easy to ensure landfill is used Editor: Re: Live from Surrey, dumpers caught on camera, July 14. The issue of illegal dumping onto Surrey streets is one, in my opinion, easily solved by residents and contractors who are ethical and can take the time to check that they are getting what they pay for. Simply put, there are any number of haulers that advertise junk and debris removal. Many of these folks do exactly what they are paid for: pick up and delivery to the Surrey Transfer Station where their load is weighed and a paid invoice received. When you hire someone to remove debris, wait for the dated invoice and pay what is reasonable for the load and labour. Ask if other loads are included or just yours. The response is a judgment as to honesty, but at least you know that your debris got to the right place. Paying up front is one way unethical haulers are finding to use the nearest vacant lot. Many of us have encountered ditches and deadend streets where there’s evidence that someone has been cheated. Tom Ayres, Surrey

Higher tolls not the best route

Editor: Re: We focus too much on what sets us apart, July 12 column. I applaud the column by 16-yearold Reilley Olexson. And although she says “labels are for cans, not people,” I would like to label her as courageous and a beacon to other “rainbow chasers” who choose to love differently. It is remarkable how many people – including a large number of federal MPs and cabinet ministers – still quietly demean homosexuals to win favour with voters who draw their morality from ancient desert scrolls. Reilley is wanting to be just Reilley, and I don’t get why anyone would want such an inspiring girl to be anyone other. Jim McMurtry, Surrey Q Reilley Olexson believes her ways are right. But the Bible declares in Luke 16:15: “And he said unto them, ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your heart: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.” John 1:9: “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Brett Lovett, Surrey

Editor: The Surrey Board of Trade does not agree with an increased toll price on the Golden Ears Bridge, which was effective July 15. TransLink says the increase covers the rise in the Consumer Price Index of approximately 3.5 per cent, and the increase ranges between five cents and 30 cents depending on size of the vehicle and type of account. The Golden Ears Bridge, a connector between Surrey/Langley and Maple Ridge, is meant to serve as an easier access route for goods and people to be moved expediently. The Surrey Board of Trade recommends a regional road-pricing policy be established, with the aim of implementing lower tolls but spread across the region. All funds would go to infrastructure development and maintenance and/or operating funds for public transportation. Ultimately, this would lead to a Traffic Demand Management Program, where tolling/pricing can be varied on different routes, at different times of day/night, to encourage traffic in a more efficient use of roads. The board of trade believes an increased toll on Golden Ears is not necessary with a bridge that currently is not being used to its fullest potential by drivers.

Last year’s eruption of an Eyjafjöll glacier in Iceland negated benefits of our carbon credits, writes P. Bistritan.

In search of wisdom and frugality Editor: Re: Driven south, July 12. As I read the article “Driven south,” it seems to me members of our TransLink Mayors’ Council are getting dumb, dumb and dumber. Do they really think they can increase taxes on gasoline and property ad-infinitum without experiencing a backlash? Like White Rock Coun. Al Campbell pointed out, many residents of White Rock and South Surrey are already going across to Blaine, Wash., for their fill-ups. Increasing the tax on gasoline here at home will only

increase the number of trans-border gasoline patrons. Whatever happened to wisdom and frugality? These jokers were elected to govern and administer fiscal prudence, and they are no longer funny. Stop it, stop it, stop it. Every time a volcano erupts in Iceland or elsewhere, we lose all the supposed investment benefits the carbon credits were implemented for, except for adding to the provincial coffers. Is there no end to this tax-and-spend syndrome? P. Bistritan, Surrey

MONTH OF JULY

Computer user warns of scam Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

A White Rock man is warning others about a strange phone call he received last week, which he believes was from a scam artist trying to gain access to his computer. Kirk Bridger said he received a call last week from a man who identified himself as a Microsoftcertified engineer calling from an independent company. The man told Bridger Wednesday that his company had been receiving messages from Bridgerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s computer for the last five weeks indicating it was infected with a virus, and proceeded to walk him through a diagnostic check. After following several prompts,

Bridger was told the presence of yellow or red icons meant his computer had a virus; however, Bridger â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who described himself as â&#x20AC;&#x153;somewhat capable in the technical arenaâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; knew that even an uninfected computer would display red or yellow icons. Bridger said when he began to dispute what the caller was saying, the man emphasized his certification and insisted Bridger had an â&#x20AC;&#x153;insidiousâ&#x20AC;? problem on his hands. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once he realized I was technically minded, he started to appeal to that,â&#x20AC;? Bridger told Peace Arch News. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I figured heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d hang up on me, but he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. He continued to push.â&#x20AC;? Though the conversation ended

shortly after, Bridger suspects the caller was trying to scare him into downloading a virusremoval application, which he believes would have turned out to be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;trojanâ&#x20AC;? or other â&#x20AC;&#x153;malwareâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; allowing the caller to have access to and control over his computer. Bridger â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who has also reported the incident to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre and the B.C.

perspectives …on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

White Rock’s Dawn O’Kane is hoping that new treatment will help in her battle against multiple sclerosis

Aiming to get back on the dance floor Tracy Holmes

Staff Reporter

hite Rock’s Dawn O’Kane had a big year in 2003: she won her fourth Canadian dance championship, got engaged – and married – and appeared in the Richard Gere movie, Shall We Dance. It’s also the year the Arthur Murray co-owner and dance instructor learned the likely root of regular numbness she’d had over the years in her lower back after dancing. She was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Most often diagnosed in young adults, MS is a disease of the central nervous system that attacks the myelin that protects the nerves, causing symptoms ranging from loss of balance and impaired speech to paralysis. Sent for multiple tests after developing an excruciating migraine – traced to optic neuritis, an inflammation of the nerve that connects the eye to the brain – O’Kane got confirmation of the disease in June of 2003. Nine years later, the disease has progressed to the point the 38-year-old can’t even consider dancing on the national stage again. She relies on a walker to get around and has a persistent tremor in her right arm that prevents her from managing even the most basic of activities on her own. “I can’t cut my own food,” O’Kane said. As discouraging as the symptoms of her MS are, O’Kane is determined to dance again – with her husband, with their daughter and in teaching. And there’s an effort afoot amongst those who know her to help make it happen. Two fundraising events are to take place this month, with proceeds to benefit the cost of a treatment O’Kane plans to receive at a clinic in California. Developed by Italian physician Dr. Paolo Zamboni, the “liberation therapy” targets narrowed veins in the neck; a condition Zamboni believes is linked to MS. As the treatment is not currently available in Canada, many Canadians – including at least one other Semiahmoo Peninsula resident – have travelled south of the border or overseas to receive it. And while the federal government announced late last month that it will begin to fund clinical trials, O’Kane said it could be years before the treatment is readily available here, and she can’t afford to wait. “They’re starting with a really small, monitored group and who knows how long it’s going to take them to get the research to

prove… it’s helping people,” she said. “I don’t need to wait for five years before I get my life back.” Suzanne Jay, communications director with the B.C. & Yukon Division of the MS Society, confirmed funding for Phase 1 and 2 trials has been approved, and that it means a “select group” of people – 20 to 30 – will receive the procedure as a result. Jay hesitated to speculate whether the trials would prove the treatment effective, or how long it might be before sufferers see it offered in Canada. But she

described the pace of the process to date, and the steps taken by the MS Society to facilitate it, as “unprecedented.” The society’s extraordinary call for research proposals, the fact they specified the research topic and a partnership with their U.S. counterpart to support seven research studies were all firsts, Jay said. Jay described the treatment as “definitely worth investigating,” given the number of people who are travelling outside of the country at great expense to receive it. People look to the society for

credible information that will help them make decisions regarding their health, and it is one area where officials simply don’t have the scientific data to meet that need, she said. If determined effective, the society will be able to advocate for the treatment to be covered by Canada’s medical plans, she said. O’Kane has already learned through her own research that, like the disease, the treatment impacts each patient differently. Some have reported significant improvements, others none at all. Testimonials such as one she heard firsthand from a Fraser Valley woman who received the treatment in Mexico, help O’Kane remain optimistic. “She was the 13th patient that had it done in Cabo San Lucas three years ago. She said it completely changed her life. “I’m very hopeful.” The fundraisers for O’Kane are set for July 22 and 24. The first, to be held on O’Kane’s birthday, is a 7 p.m. piano concert at White Rock Community Church (15280

Pacific Ave.). Featuring local concert pianist, Angela ZielkeVaughn, the evening is to also include a silent auction. On the Sunday, a garage sale is to take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Arthur Murray studio, 15151 Russell Ave. Organized by friends Heather Briese and Connie Ogilvie, the event, dubbed Support Dawn Dancing Again, is to also include a barbecue and craft table. O’Kane’s daughter, Isabelle, will run a lemonade stand. Proceeds from both events are hoped to bring O’Kane closer to the $15,000 she needs to afford the treatment and expenses associated with receiving it. Since May, she has amassed more than $5,000 towards the goal. Items are still being sought for the garage sale. Anyone with good-quality used goods to donate may drop them off at the dance studio during business hours July 22 and 23, or before 7 a.m. on the 24th. For more information on the piano concert, call 604-816-5780.

Sharing a lifelong love

local ﬂavours

t was clear at an early age what Surrey’s Falk Engelhardt was destined to do with his life. “My first Halloween costume was a chef ’s outfit, from my mom’s blue and white checkered curtains,” the Sullivan resident said. “I don’t remember this, but Melissa Smalley in Grade 2, my report card said, ‘Falk seems to like to cook.’” So it was no surprise to those who new Engelhardt growing up outside of Montreal when the aspiring chef moved to Germany at the age of 19 to pursue a career in the culinary arts. After completing an apprenticeship with a five-star hotel chain in Bad Kreuznach, Germany, he spent a few years moving around Europe, perfecting his craft. “It was an awesome time in my life,” he recalled. “To be carefree and to think, ‘where am I going to go next?’ With that career, you can go anywhere.” In more recent years, Engelhardt has experienced another side of the restaurant business, working in sales for a national foodservice distributor. Selling ready made food products to restaurants that would simply re-heat the dishes and serve made Engelhardt rethink the state of the industry, and cooking in general. “I thought, where has the art of cooking gone?” he said. “It was a big eye opener for me to see how downhill cooking has gone. Everyone’s a cook, but no one’s a chef anymore.” He decided to launch an in-home cooking-coach service – called guru cooking inc. – designed to help people learn the basics of good-quality, healthy and simple cooking at home and steer them away from eating out several nights a week. “If I could just teach people how to use the knives properly, how to saute and how to cut, it’s really not that hard,” he said. “Why not pass it on

local flavours

and hopefully have people eat at home? It’s better for the kids and it’s better for your wallet.” The recipe Engelhardt chose to share – for poached halibut with sauteed vegetables and basil cream sauce – is an example of a tasty creation using basic, fresh and healthy ingredients, with no hard-to-pronounce additives – something he strives for with every meal. “If you can’t read it, don’t buy it.”

Halibut & basil cream sauce Ingredients 4 medium carrots 2 celery stalks 1 red pepper 1 orange pepper 1 yellow zucchini 2 bunches basil 1 cup whipping cream 1 shallot

75 g (3 oz) butter 50 g (2 oz) flour 50 g (2 oz) fish stock 100 ml (1 oz) white wine 400 g (15 oz) fresh halibut (skinless) fresh or dried parsley salt & pepper

Instructions: Slice carrots, celery, peppers and zucchini into medium-sized Brunoise (diced) pieces. Set aside. In a medium-sized pot on medium heat, toss in 50 grams of butter and melt. Add finely chopped shallot, saute until glassy. Add flour and stir. Quickly add wine and then cream. Set temperature on low and stir until smooth, assuring it doesn’t burn. Stir frequently for 20 minutes and then let slightly cool. Using a blender, insert the basil and the cream sauce and blend until smooth. Pour back into pot, season with salt and pepper and place back on stove, let simmer. Portion your halibut into two equal servings. Fill a deep pan halfway with water, add fish stock. Heat on medium until the stock is hot, but not boiling. Add the fillets and cover. In another pan with steamer, steam vegetables in following order: carrots, celery, peppers and zucchini. Place veggies in pan with butter, salt and pepper and parsley and saute. Place veggies in centre of plate, fillets on top and surround with cream sauce.

Chess buffs to take on world

“Put a little fun back in your life!”

Tracy Holmes

Step up to Spring at the Peninsula

Staff Reporter

Two local young chess aficionados have qualified to test their moves on the world stage. Seven-year-old Luke Pulfer and 11-year-old John Dokjnas, qualified for the World Youth Chess Championship last week, with second-place wins in their respective categories at the Canadian Youth Chess Championships. Held in Richmond Hill, Ont., the competition featured hundreds of young chess players from across the country. Pulfer took second in the U10 category after winning a tie-breaker playoff; Dokjnas was among seven players competing in the U12 category to tie for second. Pulfer has been playing the game since 2009, amassing more than two dozen trophies along the way. Dokjnas is among three siblings in his family who competed in Ontario. His brother, Joshua, had the highest finish among eight-year-olds in the U10 category; his other brother, Neil, placed second in the junior division of the U8 open. Of the three, only John qualified for the international competition. That event is set for Nov. 17-27 in Brazil.

Max Tell In a departure from his trademark storytelling for kids, White Rock’s award-winning Max Tell brings a new work for teens and adults to Small Ritual Coffee Society, 1237 Johnston Rd. The Enforcer – continuing this week on July 20, and concluding July 27 – is a gripping rite-of-passage story about Rock Rogers, a bully and hockey ‘enforcer’ who comes face-to-face with the realities of life and death during a white water rafting trip. The new story comes with a warning: there is some coarse language in the telling of the vividlyimagined piece. Each segment consists of a 30-minute readers’ theatre presentation, followed by an optional workshop in which Tell – whose Monkey Mumbo Jumbo was just chosen best book for kids and teens by the Canadian Children’s Book Centre – will share some of the secrets of his trade with would-be storytellers. The July 20 workshop will focus on creative performance and on July 27, Tell will conduct a question and answer session on both creative writing and storytelling. Admission is free for teens, by donation for adults. For more information, call 604-538-9466, email robert@maxtell.ca or visit www.maxtell.ca

f you’re in the market for a thoroughly enjoyable evening of live musical theatre, run – don’t walk – to the Coast Capital Playhouse and catch Nunsense before it closes July 23. This five-woman powerhouse of a show has it all – showstopping Alex Browne performances, fabulous singing and great ensemble work – in the format of a fictional fundraiser for a little-known order of Catholic nuns. It’s a premise as preposterous as its burger-joint stage set, which, as the Mother Superior explains, is left over from a Grade 8 production of Grease; or the tainted vichysoisse incident which has left all but 19 of the Little Sisters of South Surrey dead from botulism. While the order has been able to bury most of their dead, there are still four in the freezer awaiting burial – hence the need for five nuns, frustrated performers all, to “put on a show” to raise the necessary cash.

Adrian Michael, a 16-year-old jazz piano prodigy, will play at Iguana’s on Marine Drive with his trio every Thursday at 6:30 p.m. through the summer. Currently students of Semiahmoo Secondary’s jazz program, Michael and regular bassist Abby David, who usually work with drummer Matt Skepasts (unavailable for the gigs), will be playing with subs – most likely Natalie Yergatian or Michael’s brother Julian. Michael, who also composes many of his tunes, will also be doing his first studio recording this summer with David and Skepasts. The Thursday night gigs mark an interesting return to Iguana’s for Michael,

The wise and witty words of Oscar Wilde will return to the Surrey-Langley area Aug. 12 and 13 when his play An Ideal Husband is presented by Township 7 Vineyards and Winery, 21152 16 Ave. (at 212 Street) Langley. A co-production of the winery and Twisted Tree Theatre/Bare Bones Productions, the local presentation will follow performances of the play at Township 7’s Naramata winery in the Okanagan in July and early August – themselves a follow-up to a successful teaming of winery and theatre company last year to present Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest. An Ideal Husband, first produced in London in 1895, is a late Victorian comedy revolving around sex, blackmail and political corruption. Spanning a 24-hour period in the lives of a successful politician, his wife, friends and family, the play mixes farce and morality with a liberal sprinkling of witticisms, exposing the social conventions – and hypocrisy – of the times. Wilde himself was no stranger to scandal: his name was actually removed from the play several months after the premiere, when his notoriously unconventional lifestyle precipitated his arrest. Twisted Tree is a young and enthusiastic theatre company based in the Okanagan, dedicated to sharing accessible, entertaining theatre with community audiences, and keen to offer the experience of live summer theatre in the laid-back, welcoming atmosphere of winery venues. Performances are at 7 p.m. For tickets, call 604532-1766, email wine@ township7.com or visit www.township7.com

Triple-threat cast in Nunsense from page 19 And the White Rock Players are indeed fortunate to find themselves co-presenters of such a superior production this summer. This is a show that is professional in every aspect – with the possible exception of the remuneration structure. Mooney’s direction doesn’t appear to miss a trick in maximizing entertainment value, and there are no weak links to be found in his superb cast of triple-threat players, several of whom are well-known to local audiences from Fraser Valley Gilbert & Sullivan Society shows. Glassford, as Mother

Ladies wins big at fest White Rock Players Club’s production of Ladies of the Camellias returned from Kamloops with a handful of awards earlier this month, after competing at Mainstage 2011. The play, written by Lillian Garret-Groag and directed by Paul Kloegman, wrapped up the July 1-9 provincial festival by winning several awards. The cast was named best ensemble at the festival, and the play was named runner-up for the top award of best production by adjudicator Dean Paul Gibson. Among those on the cast and crew who received awards at the festival were Erick Driscoll, who took top honours for best technical lighting, Pat McLean, who won two trophies for best costumes and best set design, and stage manager Shelagh Shermann, who won best back-stage etiquette. Shermann also won a special award for ‘best stage managed timed call’ for a sandbag that must drop at a crucial moment in the 1890s backstage comedy about feuding theatrical divas Sarah Bernhardt and Eleanora Duse. Top honours at this year’s Mainstage went to Langley Players Club’s production of Lost in Yonkers, which took home six other awards, including best director, best actress, best supporting actress and best supporting actor.

Superior Mary Regina, has a wonderfully droll manner, a fine disapproving look through her metal-rimmed spectacles, and a priceless scene in which she samples an illicit substance, to somewhat alarming effect. Reid, as Sister Mary Leo, a would-be ballerina, contributes a splendidly wacky sensibility to everything she does, particularly her hilarious send-ups of traditional ballet choreography. Smith, as the aptly named Sister Mary Amnesia, has a spacey quality in the role that is utterly endearing – but shouldn’t take away from appreciation of her underlying vocal versatility. South Surrey’s Stevens, as tough, streetwise Sister Mary

Robert Anne, has many effective moments of broad comedy, but also demonstrates that she can make the most of quietly touching scenes and put over numbers with a punch. Wilmot, as ambitious Sister Mary Hubert, is a born showstopper, and spot-on in delivery and timing throughout the show, culminating in her driving lead of the show’s rousing gospel-style finale, in which she manages to nail every cliché of the idiom’s requisite vocal gymnastics. Nunsense runs Wednesday to Saturday (8 p.m. performances, 2 p.m. Saturday matinee). Tickets: www.whiterockplayers. com or 604-536-7535.

Lower Mainland riders capture Tour de White Rock main event Sunday

Abercrombie, Glaesser win road race Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

he men’s and women’s road races at the Tour de White Rock Sunday could not have been more different, with the former being decided on the final lap, and the latter decided much, much earlier. The 134-km men’s race was won by 32-year-old New Westminster native Tim Abercrombie – an amateur racer in a Tour field with less pro riders than previous years – pulled away from the six-rider lead pack to take the title in three hours, 34 minutes and 52 seconds. “I’m just an amateur, so this is pretty great,” said Abercrombie, an environmental consultant who rides for Garneau Evolution. Along with teammates Curtis Deardon and Jason Thompson, Abercrombie got into a nine-cyclist breakaway group early in the race – which grew to 10 when H&R Block’s Sebastian Salas joined the fray – which allowed Abercrombie to stay with the lead group without taxing himself. “We had three guys in the break, the best numbers of any team, and Curtis just worked his tail off in that breakaway, he really sacrificed himself, and Jason was really keeping the pace high up the hills,” Abercrombie said. Oregon’s Kennett Peterson finished second, winning a sprint down Marine Drive to edge Trek Red Truck Racing’s David Vukets, who took the bronze-medal position. Peterson’s second-place showing came just five weeks after he broke his collarbone in a race. In fact, he was so concerned about breaking it again, he skipped Saturday’s criterium, which was won by Justin

For more photos, see www.peacearchnews.com Kerr. “I was depressed for a week or so (after the injury) so I’ve really been thinking about this race for the last

month, thinking about coming up here, so I’m super happy to take second,” Peterson said. The men’s field had fewer pro

riders than usual, as Tour de White Rock regulars Ryan Anderson, Christian Meier, Svein Tuft – all members of SpiderTech – and

others were absent due to pro commitments in Europe or the United States. Will Routley, a former Tour de White Rock road race champion, was the lone SpiderTech rider in the field, finishing 16th. Routley did win Friday night’s hill climb, however. The women’s field was also significantly smaller than usual, with just 22 riders at the start line and just 13 finishing the race. Abercrombie, who has competed at the Tour de White Rock “six or seven times”, said the dearth of pro riders did little to diminish his win. Instead, he was just happy to have his name on the Alexa Stieda Memorial Trophy as road-race winner, joining previous champs and racing greats such as Brian Walton, Chris Horner and Tuft. “If you look back… there’s some pretty impressive names,” Abercrombie said, still beaming 10 minutes after the end of the race. “I’m really proud to be on that list.” see page 25

Canada finishes fourth after 8-1 loss to Australia

Japan thumps U.S. to win Canadian Open title Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Though the rain didn’t arrive in full force until the last few innings, it was Japan that brought the thunder early, scoring six times in the first three innings en route to a 7-0 waxing of the United States, in the women’s division final at the Canadian Open Sunday. Japan beat the American squad twice Sunday, first in the semifinal game 4-3, which knocked the U.S. into the consolation bracket, before punching their ticket to the title game with a 6-1 win over Australia. But while the first Japan-USA tilt was close – with Japan scoring the winning run on an error in the bottom of the seventh inning – Sunday evening’s game was any-

down the third-base line, first from leadoff batter Eri Yamada and then from Maki Furuta, added another

run in the second, and tacked on three more in the third inning, highlighted by a home run from third baseman Yu Yamamoto. American starting pitcher Keilani Ricketts lasted just one-and-athird innings – giving up five hits and three runs – before she was relieved by Chelsea Thomas, and then Whitney Canion. Considering Japan had become known more for its defence than its offence during the Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship, the offensive outburst surprised many in attendance at Softball City, even the U.S. head coach. “I’ve never seen Japan come out like that in my entire life, and I’ve been coaching in this program for 14 years,” said Ken Eriksen.

“Japan, they’re the type of hitters who are very aggressive early in the count, and they were swinging the bats very well. “That’s part of the learning curve for our young pitchers – they’ve got to learn to pitch against that team.” After being spotted such a big lead early, Japan ace pitcher Yuekiko Ueno did not give the U.S. much chance for a comeback. Ueno – who also pitched in Japan’s win over the States earlier Sunday – pitched seven innings, allowing just three hits while striking out 10. “She’s an experienced pitcher, very seasoned – she’s been to the Olympics – and I thought she exploited our young players, and see page 25

Playing in the same foursome, Bernie Meiers and Harry Bottomley – the latter golfer playing for the first time in two years – each aced a hole on the 2,054-yard par-54 course. Meiers’ hole in one came on the second hole, while Bottomley’s came on No. 17.

First-lap mechanical trouble bumped Gendron from road race from page 23 Meanwhile, in the women’s race, Coquitlam’s Jasmin Glaesser, 19, pulled away from the 22-rider field on the fourth of eight laps, and cruised to one of the biggest Tour de White Rock victories in recent memory, winning by nearly six minutes. In fact, Glaesser, who crossed

the finish line in 2:27:11, was so far ahead of the pack that she had time to cross the finish line, cool down, and head up on the stage near the start/finish line to chat with race announcer Damian O’Hagan before the second-place rider, her Local Ride Racing teammate Laura Brown, crossed the finish line.

“I didn’t know the gap was that big until the last lap,” Glaesser said. “I wish I’d have known… I could’ve saved some energy.” Brown’s second-place finish was enough for her to capture the overall omnium title. Brown was second in the criterium Saturday and first in the hill climb.

Megan Rathwell finished third. One of the podium contenders heading into Sunday’s road race, Trek Red Truck’s Karlee Gendron – who won Saturday’s criterium and won both criteriums and the omnium title at the Tour de Delta – had bad luck early, and had to drop out of the race early with a mechanical problem; her bike’s

shifter broke. “I was coming up the hill and I went to shift down a couple gears and everything jammed up. I went to shift again, and it was broken,” she said. “It is very disappointing, but my whole team Trek Red Truck and I raced very well the whole week, so I can’t be too disappointed with great results,” she said.

Firecrackers win Futures division from page 23 you’ve got to give her credit for that, because we can swing the bats pretty good,” Eriksen said. “She was very good today. She spotted her pitches well and really kept us off balance.” Canada, meanwhile, placed fourth overall in the women’s division. They were ousted from the tournament on Sunday afternoon, losing to Australia 8-1 in the consolation bracket of the double-knockout tournament. In the first playoff round Friday afternoon, Team Canada was upset 8-5 by Venezuela, knocking them into the consolation bracket earlier than expected. Canada beat China Nanjing and the California A’s Saturday before falling to the Aussies. ■ A loss in their second playoff contest proved too much for the Canadian Junior Women’s

National Team to overcome in the Futures (under-19) Gold division. Canada placed second in the 27-team competition, falling to the California Worth Firecrackers 8-7 in Sunday night’s championship game. The Firecrackers, which had won all nine round robin and playoff contests prior to the final, overcame a 5-0 deficit with a six-run third inning. Then after Canada took a 7-6 advantage into the bottom of the seventh inning, the Firecrackers claimed the championship by scoring the tying and winning runs with a pair of two-out hits. The runs for-against tiebreaker left Canada seeded fourth among the 16 teams in the double-knockout playoff, trailing the Southern California Breakers, Surrey Storm and California Worth Firecrackers after all

four teams won all five round robin contests. Canada defeated the Richmond Islanders ‘93 10-0 in the first game Friday morning, then lost 4-1 to the national youth team from Brazil. One loss away from elimination, Canada won five straight games by a combined 42-3 to get to the championship game. ■ Hawaii Lokahi came through the back door to win the Showcase Gold championship. The second seed in the 16-team playoff, Hawaii was upset 5-1 by the Abbotfsord Outlaws ’95 Friday afternoon. But the setback – and rain – didn’t slow them down. They blanked the Delta Heat ’95 7-0 Saturday afternoon, then won four straight on Sunday, including a 10-1 win over the Abbotsford Outlaws ’96 in the championship game. - with files from Rick Kupchuk

Sea Wolves swim to best-ever finish at provincials Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

The Pacific Sea Wolves registered a bestever result at B.C. AAA Provincial Swim Championships earlier this month in Victoria, finishing second overall as a team. The Sea Wolves, who are based out of South Surrey Indoor Pool, brought 27 swimmers to the meet, and finished only behind the host Victoria team, which had more than 60 members taking part. Among the top performers, in various age divisions, were Hillary Caldwell, who was first in 200-m backstroke; Lydia Doyon was

first in 200 freestyle and second in both 100 and 800 free; while Emma Mittermaier won both the 50 and 100 free. Others to finish atop the podium were gold medallists Mason Lin, who was first in the 200 free and 200 individual medley – and second in four other events; Esmee SmitAnseeuw, who took gold in the 100 and 200 breast stroke, the 200 and 400 IM and the 200 butterfly; Trista Tetrault, first in 200 free, second in 50 free, 200 back and 200 IM, and third in the 100 free; Darren Yuan, who won gold in the 50 free and 100 fly, and silver in the 100 free; and Edwin Zhao, who won four

The feeling was that these new instruments were difficult to draft and execute, and would be far more costly than a Power of Attorney which is a short, simple and easily executed document.

Next up for club members are senior nationals and National Age Group Championships. Additionally, Esmee Smit-Anseeuw and Zhao will be joining Team Canada in for the North American Challenge Cup, slated for Puerto Vallarta, Mexico in early August. The Caldwell sisters will also be competing internationally this summer – Hillary at the World Student Games in China, and Katie in Peru for the World Junior Championships.

Representation Agreements Revisited about the usefulness and practicality of Representation Agreements. In the seven years since they were first introduced to B.C. I have come to appreciate how useful and important Representation Agreements can be. Whereas a Power of Attorney authorizes the grantee to look after the grantor’s legal and financial affairs, a Representation Agreement can have the same application but can also authorize the representative to look after the grantor’s health and personal care needs. If you don’t think that’s important, wait until you have a sick parent, relative or friend who needs help not only with their legal and financial matters, but also with their health and personal care decisions. Without a representative to decide for them, an ailing or incompetent person’s course of medical treatment,

prescriptions, nursing care, living accommodations, etc. fall to the Public Guardian and Trustee, or may become the subject of acrimonious contest between family members or friends who have divergent ideas about what is best for their ailing parent, relative or friend. Accordingly, I now recommend that anyone over 65 years of age or who has a life threatening illness should have a Power of Attorney which includes a backup attorney, a Health Care Directive (Living Will) and a Representation Agreement for health and personal care.

Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

White Rock’s 11/12 Majors ball club was one game away from a district title Sunday, after a 6-1 win over North Langley at South Surrey Athletic Park sent them into the championship game. White Rock’s Sam Shoemaker was on the mound Sunday, pitching a complete game.

“A complete game is fairly unusual in Little League, but he stayed under his pitch count, said White Rock coach Chuck Westgard. “He was great out there.” While there was little in the way of offence to speak of – many of the game’s runs came off errors and other miscues – White Rock’s Marc Ashford did hit a home run to lead the team to the win.

The title game – in which the winner advances to provincials next week in Victoria – between White Rock and Langley was played Monday evening after Peace Arch News’ deadlines. It was originally slated to be played Sunday, but torrential rains washed out all games Saturday, thus pushing the tournament schedule back one day.
