Family pet killed on White Rock street
‘It could have been a baby’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
White Rock bylaw officers are investigating the fatal mauling Friday night of a teacup Chihuahua. And they’re not taking it lightly. “That’s a safety-related matter,” the city’s Paul Stanton said. “If it’s a small dog, next it could be a child – you don’t know.” Owner Helen Koch was near the end of a walk with two-year-old Coco when the attack occurred around 9:30 p.m. last Friday. Koch said a black dog that was walking off-leash along Kerfoot Road – with two women, one with a second, leashed dog – ran at Coco as she and Koch walked

along Blackburn Avenue. In the past, big dogs have approached wanting to play with the three-pound pup, Koch said. But that was not the case this time. The dog – a Husky-cross, she has since been told – “just came hurling (toward Coco)... tossed her around and basically mauled her to death,” Koch said. “It all happened so fast. I thought... it’s just going to sniff her and play.” According to Koch, there was no attempt by the apparent owner to call off the attacking dog. The woman even denied that the dog had done any harm, Koch said. “I was just shouting, ‘Your dog killed my dog.’ She was like, ‘No, your dog’s OK,’” Koch said. “And my dog, my poor dog, is lying there. “Even now, I’m in disbelief.” Koch and her daughters – Isabella, 12, and Annastasija, 15 – got Coco when she was 10 months old. The tiny blackand-tan dog quickly became one of the family. They bought her outfits for walks on colder days, a pink doggy carrying bag for outings and even a set of pink booties. Held up to the shower, Coco would try to swim, Isabella recalled Monday. see page A4

Food waste to become biofuel at Surrey plant Fresh
Ground Buffalo
Jeff Nagel Black Press
Give us your food scraps, your coffee grounds, your icky fridge science projects. That’s the growing call as local cities try harder to get organic material out of the garbage and put it to more productive use. Metro Vancouver has picked Surrey as the site of a new organic biofuel plant that will turn food waste into energy. It will take any kind of kitchen food waste – including teabags, egg shells, used paper towels and greasy pizza boxes – and digest it all into methane gas that can power waste trucks and compost that can go back into the ground. The organics plant would serve not just Surrey, but potentially nearby cities and commercial supermarkets and restaurants. It’s the second stage of Metro’s organics diversion strategy. Last year, it chose Fraser Richmond Soil and Fibre’s site in east Richmond to make compost out of up to 50,000 tonnes per year of organic waste coming from the western half of the region. Food waste already goes there from Port Coquitlam and Port Moody, which have curbside organics pickup, and Burnaby, Vancouver and Richmond are joining soon. The Surrey plant could handle another 80,000 tonnes of food scraps per year. But since Metro’s goal is to divert 280,000 tonnes per year of organic waste now going to landfills, officials say more organics-fed biofuel plants may be built in other parts of the region. Overall, Metro plans to spend $40 million on various plants to handle organic waste. The exact cost, technology and operator of the Surrey site will be determined through competitive bidding. Metro would buy the site from City of Surrey, likely part of the 10 acres of city-owned land surrounding the existing garbage transfer station in northeastern Surrey. “This is going to be a quantum leap for the public,” said Rob Costanzo, Surrey’s

Surrey’s deputy operations manager Rob Costanzo with organic waste receptacles. deputy operations manager, who admits he’s “treading very carefully” in setting a 2012 deadline for having a full organics pickup program running. “We don’t want to make an assumption and implement something that’s going to upset the vast majority.” Surrey will soon consult the public on collection systems, he said. Tests of Surrey’s waste composition last summer found about 67 per cent of what residents throw out is organic and compostible – about 47,000 tonnes per year of potential feedstock for the biofuel plant. Kitchen waste pickup pilot projects are also underway in neighbourhoods of Delta, Langley Township, Coquitlam and West Vancouver. The methane generated at the new plant could be piped straight into the Terasen natural gas grid, Costanzo said, or it could be used to fuel natural gas-powered garbage trucks in the future. Diverting organic waste is important so it doesn’t fester in the landfill, where methane that escapes becomes an extremely powerful greenhouse gas adding to climate change. In addition, Costanzo noted, using biogas derived from organic waste to power vehicles is generally counted as carbon-neutral because it uses only recently dead plant matter rather than extracting fossil fuel natural gas from the ground and adding new carbon to the atmosphere.

news School days debated Spring break may again be extended to two weeks for Surrey students next year. The Surrey School District is considering reducing the number of school days by five for the 2010/2011 year to save money. During the current school year, not only was spring break extended, but a non-instructional day was added after the Nov. 11 Remembrance Day holiday. The six-day reduction amounted to a savings of about $1 million. Cutting five days next year – March 28 to April 1 – is estimated to save $600,000 to $800,000. The proposed calendar was presented to board of education members Thursday, to be followed by a 30-day consultation period with parents and staff.
364 speeders noted An effort to crack down on leadfooted Marine Drive motorists clocked 364 speeders in 2½ hours. Of the vehicles tracked April 13 – between 5:30 and 8 a.m. – 108 were travelling 51-60 km/h; another 50 were up to 76 km/h. No tickets were given. “Marine Drive, as most are aware, is a posted 30 km/h speed zone, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, however, on this morning it appears that most had forgotten,” Const. Janelle Shoihet said in a news release, noting fines range from $138 to $368. In response to the statistics, she said, enforcement along the corridor has been increased, and there will be zero tolerance for speeders. Police also plan to crack down on other violations, including altered motorcycle mufflers and noise infractions.
Search leads to U.S. Police combed South Surrey last weekend after a senior man was reported missing. Police say family members raised concerns after the 74-year-old failed to return from a walk Friday. He had left the area of 150 Street and 26 Avenue around 3:30 p.m. The man was located safe the next morning in a family residence “shortly across the border.” The search effort included the RCMP’s dog team, dedicated helicopter and foot patrols.
Shots ‘not random’ Surrey RCMP’s serious crimes investigators are looking for anyone with information on a recent drive-by shooting near Sunnyside Acres Urban Forest. Const. Peter Neily said police had multiple calls after a rental home near 140 Street and 20 Avenue was targeted by gunfire shortly after 10 p.m. April 12. Neily said police do not believe the incident was random. He would not disclose the number of shots, but confirmed the home was hit. Residents told the Peace Arch News they heard six shots. No one was injured in the shooting. It is unclear if anyone was home at the time. Neily said police so far do not have a description of a vehicle heard leaving the area at the time. He would not comment on whether police have any suspects. Anyone with information should call the Surrey detachment “as soon as possible” at 604-599-0502.

Anger builds over smaller lots Alex Browne Staff Reporter
White Rock council members want to signal they are listening – but homeowners of an uptown neighbourhood east of Best Street say they aren’t satisfied by a compromise to limit change for the area. A proposed Official Community Plan amendment – aimed at allowing large-lot infill redevelopment which could subdivide single-family properties for multiple-family projects – was scaled back at Monday night’s Land Use and Planning Committee meeting. As initially proposed, the contentious amendment (Bylaw 1874) would include blocks along North Bluff Road between Finlay and Lee streets; a block bounded by Russell Avenue, Finlay Street, Thrift Avenue and Maple Street; two blocks on either side of Oxenham Avenue between Best and Finlay streets, and four blocks bounded by Thrift Avenue, Finlay Street, Roper, Avenue and Kent Street. At staff suggestion this week, the committee recommended the proposal be limited to strips along Thrift Avenue and Finlay Street, and partial blocks along North Bluff Road east of Peace Arch Hospital. The committee also endorsed a recommendation that the revised plan be the subject of a new public meeting before returning to council. Councillors told Peace Arch News their actions show they are listening. “It’s part of rebuilding public confidence,” said Coun. Doug McLean following the meeting. “If you’re going to have public consultation, at least have the decency to listen to what people are saying,” Coun. Al Campbell said. But homeowners who attended the meeting – and who have been part of two petitions aimed at stopping the plan – said they will ask for a delegation to council at the soonest opportunity to present results of their surveys. “It needs to stop here and not be south of Thrift,” said Alicia Hagerman, who, with husband Brian and neighbours, has been compiling a survey of the area since the original public

Residents fear the quiet, well-kept nature of their neighbourhood east of Best Street will change. meeting in February. “Otherwise you get an incremental creep (of development).” In a letter sent to Mayor Catherine Ferguson on April 14, Hagerman said that 83 per cent of 201 respondents want the city to support existing zoning, 10 per cent are undecided and only eight per cent are in favour of the amendment. Objections range from doubled density in a family zone, increased load on infrastructure, undermining of homeowners who have invested time and money in their properties in favour of speculators, expansion of the controversial South of Hospital Lands model and a disincentive to maintain homes and property where there is uncertainty about the future character of the neighbourhood. “I feel like I’m being victimized here,” said Ivana Maschi, who lives in the 1300 block of Finlay Street, and also compiled a petition of immediate neighbours. Maschi and fellow neighbourhood resident Ken Jones (a former MLA and council member) both said they felt the character of the original public meeting on the proposal, which drew some 90 residents, was misrepresented in planner Paul Stanton’s report to council, in which he concluded homeowners were evenly split for and against the infill plan. “Why do we still have all these options?” Maschi asked, noting that the report to the committee listed several possible infill plans. “We’ve been giving them clear information and they’re coming back with this. How can I write it any clearer?”
“There is another option, and that’s scrap the whole thing,” said Jones. “As long as you talk about the possibility of something, it can always come back.” Since staff did not have enough time to vet the Hagermans’ survey, it could not be included in material presented to the committee. But following the meeting, Alicia Hagerman showed several councillors a graphic aid summarizing it – an enlarged plan of the neighbourhood covered with push pins. Blue pins, representing residents who oppose the plan, far outnumber purple pins representing those in favour, and green pins representing those undecided. However, Maschi said volunteers surveying the area have problems contacting the actual owners of properties, many of whom can only be identified through city-held information at a cost of $4 per property. In his report to council, Stanton says he believes strongly in some of the principles on which the plan is based, and felt there was an opportunity to do more effective infilling based on lessons learned from the South of the Hospital Lands experience. Stanton said he based his assessment of neighbourhood feeling on the proposal partly on 77 feedback questionnaires that had been returned since the public meeting. “Many wanted to see some revitalization, and many were opposed and wanted to maintain the status quo,” he said. “When you have opposition that significant, and (opinion) that divided, it is an opportunity to rethink.”

Girls feared for their mom’s safety from page A1 Coco also won the heart of their cat, Angel. The two often slept and played together. Friday night, the girls had turned in early to rest up for a weekend swim competition at UBC. They ran out of the house barefoot at the sound of their mom’s screams. Annastasija thought her mom was being attacked. Koch said that although the woman with the offending dog showed no remorse, she is hopeful the owner will at least offer to cover the cost of cremating Coco. “This has been very devastating for me and my two girls,” Koch said. “My little dog could have been a baby.” Stanton – the city’s director of

In November 2008, the owner of a pit bull was warned to keep better tabs on her dog after a Cairn terrier was attacked at Stevens Street and Columbia Avenue. The city had logged a number of complaints about the dog in recent years, the city’s Richard Wilson had said. None of them related to attacks on people. In general, an owner’s willingness to comply, a dog’s chances of rehabilitation and the nature and number of offences are among factors considered in determining fines and other penalties in such incidents.

editorial
Earth Day’s green message ripens with age n Thursday, millions of Canadians will join around one billion people in more than 170 countries in marking the 40th Earth Day. It’s a milestone birthday for the modern environmental movement, but is there reason to celebrate? Forests are still razed, rivers dammed and a proposed oil pipeline across northern B.C. threatens to bring tankers through our pristine West Coast waters. Even eco-icon Dr. David Suzuki is pessimistic, complaining that every environmental fight “won” is temporary at best. After four decades in the trenches beating back big corporations, protesting poor public policy and trying to convince governments to embrace legislation that would affect real change on the environmental front, Suzuki can be forgiven for sounding cynical. It’s difficult not to feel defeated in the face of ongoing wilderness degradation and obvious impacts of climate change. Like many 40-year-olds, maybe Earth Day and its proponents are facing a mid-life crisis of sorts; a period of reflection on accomplishments and regret over missed opportunities. Nearby, there are many examples of both. A truck highway (South Fraser Perimeter Road) will soon separate the community from a historically rich waterfront in North Delta, broaching the edge of Burns Bog; the Port Mann Bridge is being super-sized to accommodate an ever-increasing army of vehicles, rather than allocating the money to transit improvements; and precious patches of urban greenery continue to fall to the axe – treepreservation bylaw or no tree-preservation bylaw. But there are victories, too: pesticide bylaws; civic sustainability charters; “Clean Energy Hubs”; and stream-enhancement programs. The best thing about turning 40? Earth Day has infused the idea that the planet matters in the minds of a generation – young adults who have grown up with the notion that ecological health is paramount to rampant consumerism. They remember winters with more snow and a night sky with more stars, and they miss the sound of the frogs outside their bedroom windows. Much like today’s tobacco smokers – who 40 years ago were welcomed everywhere – antigreen initiatives are the pariahs of the modern world, thanks in part to the awareness raised by the annual April 22 initiative. Happy 40th, Earth Day. You’re not getting older. You’re getting better.

88 responding too far even for him. He made a career out of fighting Ottawa, over the GST, abortion and French on corn flakes boxes, and this is more of the same. At anti-HST rallies around the province, Vander Zalm talks openly about a conspiracy to impose global government. Canada’s doing the HST, they’ll talk U.S. President Barack Obama into it, and the next thing you know we’ll be merged with the European Union and B.C.’s tax rate will be set not in Ottawa, but in Brussels. Vander Zalm says the HST will once again till the soil for a third provincial party, presumably the B.C. Conservatives under his sidekick Chris Delaney. (Chris who? Never mind.) In 1999, Vander Zalm ran for the fledgling Reform B.C. in a Delta South byelection and was trounced by Val Roddick. He entered politics in the 1970s claiming to be both a federal and provincial Liberal, presumably because that was the vehicle he found with the keys in it. Here’s the central reason that B.C. in 2010 needs to move to a consumption tax. The baby boomers are retiring. There won’t be enough people paying income tax to support them. This is not a prediction. As the engineer aboard the Titanic said, it is a mathematical certainty. You might want to check the rising water before you sign a petition.

No need for drivers’ ed Editor: I have read in recent editions several letters regarding speeding along Marine Drive. I couldn’t agree more. It is downright scary, the speed at which most drivers drive along Marine Drive right from Stayte Street all the way through White Rock. When I called the RCMP to complain last year, I was told they would set up community policing volunteers to “educate” drivers. Why on earth would a driver need to be educated on our 30 km/h speed limit? That is the posted
speed limit. Either obey our laws or don’t bother driving here. And as far as the RCMP goes, please enforce the laws of our land. We all deserve a safe and livable community. To keep our lovely town this way, it starts by respecting the residents and our laws. Frank Hutchinson, White Rock
Politicians can change our city Editor: Re: Huge blunder a done deal, April 14 letters. I would like to respond to the fait accompli of the White Rock Fire Department, as suggested by letter-
writer Fred Bird. It upsets me also that brand new members of council can change the core of the city, on their own vote, without acknowledging the citizens who have already pledged to keep their own fire department. This even upsets me more, as they may not even be around after the next election but can alter something so critical in White Rock’s well being. Bird is correct in his assumptions, that response times to certain areas in White Rock by relocating to Surrey will be jeopardized immensely. Lives and property will be at a much greater risk. He is also correct in that the city will lose the loyalty and neverending volunteer work every White Rock firefighter gives of their own free time. Certain members
of this council have no idea the commitment these firefighters give back to the community each year. I can attest to all of this, as I was once a very proud member of the White Rock Fire Department, until retiring as captain six years ago. All the closed-door secrecy in these past six months regarding the possible unification with Surrey has certainly dampened the spirits of each firefighter. I have never seen the moral sink to such a low. Please, council members, don’t break what is not already broken. I can only hope Bird is wrong in what he suspects is the demise of the department, and that city council wisely elects to stay the course and support and keep its own fire department.

If (Bill Vander Zalm) succeeds with his silly protest, where will the federal government take the money from?a Manon Mulder
HST talk Editor: Re: It’s the best we’ve seen so far: Zalm, April 14. I attended the April 9 rally in support of eliminating the HST. Bill Vander Zalm was articulate and sincere in the cause he is helping to promote. Some seem to feel this is a political self-promotion of some sort; a form of fear mongering. I disagree. The only thing I saw and felt was a room full of honest, hard-working taxpayers who are fed up with being treated like they are invisible – people who already have enough hardship and stress in their lives and will not tolerate the addition of yet another economic hardship. This movement is not about any political party, right or left. This is about the government listening to the people who are paying their wages and pensions. The citizens of B.C. are united together, hand in hand, to send a loud and clear message to all government parties. We have had enough! Beverley Kilpatrick, White Rock Q I thought Bill Vander Zalm was a greenhouse and nursery man; now I see he’s gone into sheep farming! The Zalm’s criticism of the current government is a classic case of “the pot calling the kettle black.” With his dubious record in provincial politics and his present-day criticisms, I must wonder how he manages to lie straight in bed at night. In years past, I understood Vander Zalm always to be a devout freeenterpriser; one who subscribes to the principle that we all must be prepared to pay our way in life. Here he is, representing all those who bleat about lack of provincial funding in all manner of programs, but refuse to contribute to those causes, by criticizing the HST as a necessary source of income for the government. The HST is strictly a consumer tax. We consume, we must pay – except, of course, those who must beg for their bread and who cannot otherwise afford to buy it, but then they are not likely to be paying much HST anyway. Methinks the Zalm has a hidden agenda in all this. I fully expect this is his way of reemerging into the
File photo
Former B.C. premier Bill Vander Zalm campaigns in White Rock against the incoming Harmonized Sales Tax. provincial political arena. Good luck, Bill, but I will support the real free-enterprisers in government. And although I like sheep, I prefer the four-legged variety. Ray Seymour, Surrey Q Obviously, the voice of the people between elections is meaningless. Listening to Peace Arch News’ online video, ex-premier Bill Vander Zalm said it jokingly: “We are a democratically elected dictatorship.” So what is new, eh? It does not matter what colour the voice in Victoria is. In the end, they all do the same.
Eventually, HST will be beneficial. Unfortunately for the B.C. Liberals, because of the generosity of the federal Conservative government, the introduction of the program has been misplayed. Many – particularly those with fixed and lower incomes – will pay a larger price. In a word, “brainless.” That is the result of having a top-down government, with a leader more interested in the front page of the media than the care of his voters. The sad part is, when an election comes, who are we voting for? MLAs are living in a morgue. The smart remarks from the
It’s demoralizing Editor: I feel like we’re in Roman times when rulers decided they wanted something and taxed their subjects at will. Where is all the GST money? We had a promise from our government that the GST was only for two years. That Brian Giebelhaus photo was in 1991! Now they want more? Accountant Paul Bekenn tries to I was at an HST talk with an accountant where he was explaining to help businesses adapt last week. small businesses how the taxes will work. It was completely confusing and everyone around me was confused. It’s demoralizing. Apparently, the government even changed the rules on their website since they first announced the HST. What’s this about May 1, 2010? “HST generally applies to consideration that becomes due, or is paid without becoming due…” what does that mean? “Required to self-assess B.C. component (seven per cent) of HST…” what? Is this part of the ploy, to confuse us into exhaustion and we’ll roll over? The average taxpayer goes to work and, before he sees his paycheque, the government has taken a slice off. Then you’re taxed again every time you purchase something. And now the government is asking for more? They seem completely out of touch with the voters. Let’s show them they’ve underestimated us. Sign the petition in person to stop the HST – www.saynotohstinbc.ca Marilyn Pearson, Surrey
NDP are not building a better province. There will not be a line up of doctors, nurses and teachers the day after the election, nor better emergency, schools or all the claims they offer. The answer? Common sense in which consultation is prime action. Did you ever hear or receive a notice from a politician asking for your opinion on major issues? Of course not, as he/she votes according to party politics. Suan H. Booiman, White Rock Q Bill Vander Zalm should be ashamed of needing this kind of cheap, born-again popularity, leading the battle against the HST. Most of us are disgusted with extra taxes, but the HST makes sense in that it at least combines and simplifies two taxes. If he succeeds with his silly protest, where will the federal government take the money from? Surely we know they’ll find another way of taxing us and delve into the taxpayers’ pockets, probably deeper next time. If he needs to cock-adoodle-do, he should do so against 12 per cent and promote 10 instead. We’ll get yet another idiotic tax all the same, so why not try to reduce the impact instead? Vander Zalm was the one in office to whom we owe that insane tax grab called the Property Transfer Tax. As well, he increased the small business tax to its highest level ever. Vander Zalm’s memory must be failing rapidly, as he pretends he wants to be the first-ever politician to save us from paying more taxes. Never trust a politician. Manon Mulder, Surrey

A frightened former stray, Tinker abandoned her five young kittens and escaped from a room in Goodwin’s home. The room had no open doors or windows; the only clue was a missing heat grate in the corner. “There are things you just don’t think about when you’re not used to dealing with a young, scared cat,” said Goodwin.

the curator of Bridport Museum Trust. She scoffs at the suggestion there’s “no history” in Canada, a relatively young country when compared to England. To Hayde, who holds a degree in archeology, it’s all relative. “I think the world moves so rapidly now that something that’s 50 years old isn’t that long ago, but it’s so distant from how we live today and how we interact,” she says. “It’s easy to forget it’s socially alien to us. Whether it’s 150 years ago, or 2,000 years ago, it’s the same principle.” She’s realistic about one of the main challenges facing museums today – reaching and attracting visitors from all walks of life in the community. “We are one part of a very competitive market: we’re after people’s spare time and input.” Part of the solution lies in building lasting partnerships with groups and organizations in order to link into what they’re doing she says, “to become greater than the sum of our parts.” Engaging the public through programs, volunteers and activities is an important way to encourage higher attendance. “We want to attract people who may not have been into the museum. It’s all about trying to engage people, whoever they may be.”

what’s
History since 1970 gives eco-icon little cause for optimism
your sign
Suzuki on green strides and slides Jeff Nagel Black Press
David Suzuki remembers the first Earth Day 40 years ago as a watershed moment in the history of the budding environmental movement. The UBC geneticist was already on his trajectory to becoming the iconic scientist who would raise public awareness of ecological issues for decades to come. His personal moment of eco-revelation had come eight years earlier, while turning the pages of Rachel Carson’s 1962 book Silent Spring, an indictment of chemical pesticides that were destroying bird populations. Within a few years, the green movement had gone mainstream. “The Earth Day in 1970 was a huge, huge thing – a widespread acknowledgement that the environment was important,” Suzuki told Black Press in an interview for Earth Day 2010, celebrated internationally tomorrow (Thursday). “Tragically, I think we’ve been going backwards steadily.” It was a heady time, especially on Canada’s West Coast, where activists were forming Greenpeace to fight the Amchitka nuclear tests in Alaska. Suzuki wasn’t a member of the fledgling organization. But the rising star also wrote in opposition to the nuke tests and put his name to other efforts. He joined protests to block offshore oil drilling in Hecate Strait, the proposed Site C dam on the Peace River and ensuing campaigns against clearcut logging.
Contributed photo
David Suzuki reflects on the country’s environmental movement over 40 years. The dam and drilling were shelved, but Site C is under consideration by the province once again. Instead of offshore drilling, activists are now fighting a proposed oil pipeline across northern B.C. that would bring tankers through the north coast’s twisting fjords. Logging is now off limits in many new B.C. parks and protected areas, but mountain pine beetles observe no such boundaries. “The great lesson is that there are very few victories in the environmental battles,” Suzuki said. “Even the ones we celebrate are temporary, they’re never permanent. So they come back again and again to
haunt us.” If Suzuki sounds pessimistic, it’s because he is. Too many times, scientists have raised alarms – particularly about climate change – only to see their reports shelved without action. The failure of the recent Copenhagen summit to deliver a strong, binding road map to global emissions cuts is just the most recent disappointment. Critics who question global warming evidence have made much of the “Climategate” scandals involving hacked emails from scientists. Suzuki believes the broader public still understands the urgent need for action because of the “in your face” impacts of climate change, like extreme weather, wildfires and melting polar ice. “Canada is the most vulnerable to climate change of any of the industrialized countries,” Suzuki said. Rising sea levels will threaten our long coastline, he predicted, and the Prairies face a major climate change-driven drought that will disrupt agriculture there just as mountain pine beetles have ravaged B.C.’s forest industry. Suzuki doesn’t accept Canadian government claims it’s more difficult for a colder, northern country to reduce energy use, and he holds out little hope for green leadership from the federal Tories under Prime Minister Stephen Harper. “For four years, we’ve had a government that has not just ignored the climate issue but has actively suppressed our activities to do anything that is energy efficient or to pursue renewable energy.”

Olympic transit, cellphone ban likely causes
Car crashes drop during Games Jeff Nagel Black Press
Maybe it was the shift out of cars and onto transit for the Olympics. Maybe it was B.C.’s crackdown on cellphone use while driving. Either way, Insurance Corp. of B.C. officials say they’re happy to see a significant drop in the number of car crashes on the roads in February and March. There were 17,400 crashes recorded across B.C. in February, down about 11 per cent from 19,600 in February of 2009. March recorded a 13.5 per cent drop – from 21,500 crashes in 2009 to 18,600 last month. B.C.’s new distracted driving law that bans the use of handheld cellphones and

MacDonald said it was the first time the association won the district championships in all five age groups (8-12 years old). “I think this is going to be another great season,” he said after the ceremonies. “We’re planning on playing 1,600 games between now and the middle of June.” In its 53rd year on the Peninsula, WRSSBA has programs for ages five to 18, and sees an impressive number of players sign up each season. “Our enrolment is really great this year. We’re just over the 1,000-mark, which is just fantastic. “This area seems to have a really big interest in baseball.”

sports Jordan Yee ‘heart and soul’ of Southridge Storm
Top player signs with Queen’s Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
One of the Peninsula’s top high school basketball players is headed east to continue his hoops career. Southridge Storm point guard Jordan Yee, who captained the school’s senior boys’ team to a sixth-place finish at double-A provincials this season, officially signed early this month with the Queen’s University Golden Gaels. The five-foot-nine Yee was the lynchpin

of the Storm’s attack this season, averaging 19.3 points, 4.9 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game during the regular season. In three years at the senior level, Yee was two-time all-star at the Surrey RCMP Basketball Classic, and was twice named a provincial all-star. “He did everything for us this year,” said Storm coach Steve Anderson, who called Yee “the heart and soul of our team.” As impressive as Yee’s statistics were during the season, he was even better during
the Storm’s provincial tournament run. At the double-A B.C. Championships, held in Kamloops, Yee averaged more than 27 points per game, while also increasing his rebounding, assist and steal numbers. “During the B.C.’s he took his game to another level,” said Anderson. At Queen’s, Yee will join another recently recruited player from the Peninsula – White Rock Christian Academy’s Christian Weisbrod also recently signed to play for the Kingston, Ont.-based university.
Season closes in shootout Staff Reporter
Despite having numerous scoring chances and dominating most of the game, Peace Arch United’s U21 team lost 2-1 in overtime to UBC Metro in provincial soccer action at South Surrey Athletic Park Sunday. The defeat ended the Peninsula team’s season. “The boys were obviously disappointed, but still felt very good about themselves after the game because of how well they played and they deserved to win,” coach Russ Rimmer said. After Peace Arch’s Adam Walker scored 10 minutes into the game, UBC tied it up in the 17th minute. “Peace Arch continued with pressure throughout the game, controlled play and had six glorious scoring chances, which we were unable to convert, so the game went into overtime,” Rimmer said. When a winner failed to emerge in 30 minutes of overtime, the two teams went head-to-head in nine
JUST J MOVED? MO
rounds of penalty kicks. “That’s very unusual,” Rimmer said, noting his team had never played that many rounds before. The local squad was confident going into the game, he added, and the end result didn’t reflect how well they played. “We knew we were the better team, and we displayed that on the field,” he said. “Peace Arch, based on quality of chances and possession of play, dominated that game, and we should’ve won with a 3-0 score. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to capitalize on our chances, and after a 30-minute overtime and 17 penalty kicks, UBC emerged victorious.” Rimmer said he is looking forward to bringing the group back together next season for a deeper run into the provincials. “This is a young team... with many high school players, and all of the boys are eligible to return to the league next year, so we’ll be building upon the experience and looking forward to greater success in the future.”

Discover the healing power of nature
F
rom minor ailments to chronic health problems, having options when it comes to treatment is essential in knowing you’re receiving the best care possible. Alternative medicine, defined as any healing practice that does not fall within the realm of conventional medicine, is growing in popularity on the Peninsula, with many options ranging from holistic and homeopathic treatments to Traditional Chinese Medicine. Dr. William Russell is a naturopathic doctor at Semiahmoo Wellness Center, and said their office focuses on the premise of the healing power of nature. Treating a variety of ailments from digestive problems to headaches and arthritis, and with patients ranging in age from children to senior citizens, Russell looks at many factors including lifestyle, diet and a patient’s environment, and how they may be affecting his or her overall health and balance. Instead of focusing on the symptoms a patient is experiencing, Russell strives to get to the cause of the problems. “Looking at diet, lifestyle and stress and how they impact your health – it’s when those things go out of balance that you start to get symptoms,” he said. Getting to the root of the problem and helping the body regain its natural balance are also the focus for Michelle Almonte, a homeopath at Pure Pharmacy. “The way homeopathy works is it uses naturally occurring minute substances to help balance the body and put it into homeostasis,” Almonte explained. Most patients would take part in an in-depth consultation upon visiting a homeopath, where things such as medical and personal history are discussed, including lifestyle, sleeping habits, diet and emotional stress. Depending on the homeopath a patient visits, a physical examination could also take place after the one to two-hour consultation. It is then determined whether or not homeopathic remedies, derived naturally from plants and minerals, are appropriate for treatment. “With homeopathic remedies, there are no side effects and they can be used with any other medications,” Almonte noted. “It’s a really easy alternative because you don’t have to worry about things like that.” Dr. Rod LeBlanc of Lifelong Health is a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), a registered acupuncturist and a herbalist, and describes himself and the team at his clinic as “pain specialists.” see page B4

or many people, a trip to the dentist doesn’t rank very high on the list of fun things to do. However, regular visits to the dentist are not only essential to oral health, but can help detect problems that can lead to more serious overall health problems. According to Dr. Vincent Lee and Dr. Francisco Leos of Grandview Corners Dental and Wellness, people who neglect regular dental exams can suffer from numerous oral health problems, even when they brush and floss regularly. Tooth decay or gum disease can wreak havoc on a person’s mouth, as well as halitosis caused by bacteria that brushing and flossing can’t take care of. Oral health problems, such as chronic gum disease, can even affect a person’s immune system, making them more susceptible to catching colds and flus. According to Dr. Sandra Finch, not only do regular dental check-ups help prevent small oral problems from developing into something more serious, there is also a proven connection between oral health and cardio vascular health. “Other medical issues such as diabetes and heart disease can be influenced by whether or not a patient was maintaining healthy gum and bone support,” Finch said, adding that acid reflux, or heartburn, can also sometimes be detected first by a dentist. “Oral cancer is also more widespread than you may think, and is certainly detectable with routine exams.” Whether it’s fear of the unknown

hey can complement an outfit by adding a splash of style, but they also serve an important purpose when it comes to protecting your vision. It’s sunglass season, but before you head out to buy a new pair of shades, there are some important factors to consider to ensure you make the right choice. In addition to decreasing glare from the bright summer sun, sunglasses block harmful ultraviolet radiation (UV) from your eyes. According to Dr. Michelle Elliott of Spectrum Optometry, UV exposure can damage the retina – where light is focused to form images – and cause a sunburned cornea, cataract, skin cancer of the eyelids and damage to the front surface of the eye. When looking for a pair of sunglasses, it’s important to look for 100 per cent, permanent UV protection. “Sunglasses that have UV protection applied as a spray will become ineffective after a short

I recommend only using disposable sunglasses for a month in the summer and two months in the winter.” Nathan Sood of Lens R Us Optical said you should also consider
what you’ll be using your sunglasses for, whether it’s recreation or fashion, to make the right decision about type and style of lens. “If for example, you’re into water sports or fishing, a polarized lens is ideal, because it blocks see page B8

ummer time is just around the corner, and if this summer is anything like last year, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in for a whole lot of sun on the Peninsula. But before you put on your flip-flops and head to the beach, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to take some precautions to protect your skin, on your face and body. Amy Walmsley of Shibui Skin Care recommends a facial this time of year, to undo any winter skin damage and prepare your skin for the spring and summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you start before the summer with a good facial and remove the debris from the winter, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a nice, clean palate,â&#x20AC;? Walmsley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d recommend a facial at least every couple of months in the summer.â&#x20AC;? Next, Walmsley said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s essential to buy a good sun screen â&#x20AC;&#x201C; specifically designed for the face â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as well as one for the rest of the body. Sun screen should be applied before you put your makeup on, and reapplied if you go in the water or perspire.

t’s no secret that regular exercise is essential to overall health – not only does it help you maintain a healthy weight, working out can also protect you from heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, osteoporosis and stress. While it can be difficult to maintain a consistent workout regime, having a professional facility to exercise in, plus the help of training experts, can make your road to health an easier one to travel. With plenty of choices of fitness clubs on the Peninsula, it’s important to choose one that properly suits your needs. Sandcastle Fitness on 152 Street offers both a ladies-only area and a coed weightroom, and has a number of group exercise classes, including yoga, step, cardio dance and Johnny G-certified spin classes. An on-site steam room, consultations with a certified trainer, towel and locker service – they provide the locks – are also included in membership at this locally owned club.

Lindsay Dodds of Sandcastle Fitness keeps an eye on Kelsey Taylor while she works out at the 152 Street gym. Unlike some fitness clubs, Sandcastle Fitness doesn’t require its members to sign contracts – fees are paid on a month-to-month basis and there’s no commitment required. Family memberships are also available, so a spouse or child under 25 living at home can be added to the monthly fee at a discounted rate. Over at the South Surrey Recreation Centre, there’s something for all fitness levels, with a weight
room featuring a variety of equipment, fitness classes and personal training services. Classes are taught in a 2,000-sq.-ft. fitness studio and include everything from yoga and step to boot camp and fitness 55-plus. There are also a number of drop-in sport activities held at the centre, including the ever-popular pickle ball, badminton, volleyball and table tennis. see page B8

Enjoy great outdoors and get fit with running clubs on Peninsula from page B7 Options are abound when it comes to membership at South Surrey Rec Centre, depending on how often you might want to work out. A full facility pass is available for either one month or a whole year, and allows access to all fitness classes, pools and gyms at all City of Surrey rec centres. At a discounted price, swipe cards allow you to buy access ahead of time for convenience purposes, and allow the same access at the South Surrey Rec Centre as the full facility pass. This pass is a great option if you plan to workout four or more times per week, however, if you might visit the rec centre less frequently, swipe cards are a better
option. If you just want to test out the facilities, a drop-in rate is also available. Free classes will be offered at the rec centre on Tuesday, May 11 as a part of Move for Health Week – visit or call the rec centre for more information. If working out indoors doesn’t appeal to you, Peninsula Runners on 152 Street has a new Tuesday night walk/run clinic starting May 18. The 10-week program is designed for all experience levels, and will help to prepare you to comfortably run or walk any five-kilometre race. Participants can register for the entire program, or drop in on a casual basis, while learning more about the sport of running in a fun, social atmosphere.
Sunglass designs to suit any style from page B5 the glare and reflection from the water,” he said. If you wear eyeglasses on a day-to-day basis, prescription sunglasses are available in any style or type of lens, including polarized and nonpolarized. Transition lenses, that automatically adjust to changing light conditions outdoors, are a great choice, according to Alec Efonoff of Precision Eye Care. “They cut the UV by
100 per cent, and on days when it’s not too bright out, they only change according to the amount of UV present,” he said. Having a pair of highquality sunglasses that will protect your eyes from the sun doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your style – in fact, it’s quite the opposite according to Rita Herman of Sight for Sore Eyes Optical. While the large, Jackie O-type sunglasses are still predominantly a popular
choice, Herman said there are plenty of great styles to choose from when it comes to a pair of shades. Black is always a popular choice, but white is also a good pick, and brush silvers and golds are also pretty, Herman said. “From bling to conservative, there’s something for everybody right now,” she said. “It’s really a personal taste, and it’s up to what the individual wants.”

Spring cleaning for cosmetics
T
he days are getting longer, the flowers are blooming and the mercury is rising, which means it’s time for spring cleaning. Closets, basements, garages – it’s a great time of year to get rid of the old and make way for the new. It’s also a great time for a little spring cleaning in your cosmetic bag. Not only do the colours change with the seasons, discarding old cosmetics that are past their prime is important to preventing potential problems. According to Lana Mitchell, skin-care specialist at Pure Pharmacy, mascara should be replaced every three months, as should any liquid foundation that your fingertips may have been in. “Anything that has wet ingredients can harbour bacteria,” Mitchell said. “If you’re sticking your finger in it, I would not keep it past three months – but I would also always choose a pump over a jar.” Mitchell also recommends you keep a close eye on your cosmetics – especially natural products

Tara Naswell of Merle Norman Cosmetics throws away an old mascara as she cleans out her makeup bag for spring. – throughout the summer heat, and smell them regularly to make sure they haven’t gone bad. “Summer months are harder on cosmetics,” she said. “Liquid foundations that are creamy and use a lot of oils are much more susceptible to going rancid in the heat.” In addition to purging cosmetics that may have harmful bacteria, cleaning out your makeup bag is also a great way to update with some new spring colours. “For spring and summer time, we definitely get a little brighter,” said Tara
Naswell of Merle Norman at Semiahmoo Shopping Centre. “We’re seeing sheer washes of pastel shadows, intensified with bright liner, mouthwatering lips, and sun-kissed cheeks with colours placed high on the cheekbones, where the sun naturally kisses the skin.” But it’s not just eye shadows and lipsticks that need updating this time of year, Naswell added. “People should come in for a foundation check because their skin changes between seasons.”

Smooth sailing with laser hair removal treatments

t’s hard to believe that spring is already a month in, and before long summertime will be at our doorstep. That means shorts, skirts, tank tops and bikinis will become part of the wardrobe again, in time for the warm summer sun. But with all those fun, summery clothes comes the necessity to remove unsightly body hair – but if you’re tired of cumbersome shaving or painful waxing, laser hair removal is a safe and effective option. Aqua Vitae Spa and Laser offers hair removal using the most advanced IPL (intense pulsed light) laser technology. The equipment safely delivers specific wavelengths to the targeted area with superior contact cooling and smooth pulse technology, for clients of all skin types and hair colours. The laser is absorbed by the hair follicles, and two or three weeks later the hair falls out. There is little to no down time when having laser hair removal treatments, although it is recommended you stay out of the sun for a few weeks after having treatments done. According to Dr. Jeff Rostvig who offers laser hair removal at Pure Centre for Healthy Aging, the treatment can be performed on nearly every area of the body. It generally takes between five and eight treatments for the hair to be completely and permanently removed, Rostvig said, depending on the hair type and colour, as well as the person’s complexion. “The success rate is lower if you are

It is also essential anybody looking to have laser treatment consults with a professional beforehand, as there are some drugs that can react badly with the procedure.
