Sea fest success story

Back from the brink Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

The Spirit of the Sea Festival brought three days of free live entertainment and family activities to thousands at White Rock beach last weekend. And the only apparent hitch – according to organizer Janice Savage – was food vendors running short of supplies. “That was a good thing,” she said, noting a steady flow of attendees throughout the event. “Unexpected, but a good thing.” Although Savage, Community of Lights Events Society president, couldn’t confirm numbers Tuesday morning, she said the total amount of people seemed larger than 2009’s smaller-than-usual crowd. “Everyone was gauging that there were more people than last year.” And, despite a bumpy start – organization of last year’s event was criticized, and former society president Matt Todd resigned in June – the festival went “very smoothly.” “We had a good plan in place, and all the team members took care of their departments. We had a really great team this year that just pulled everything together,” she said. “There were no problems. It was just a very calm, relaxed group of people. “We’re just getting a lot of great comments that people enjoyed being there and it had a good feeling to it.” Mayor Catherine Ferguson said the festival went “almost flawlessly.” “It seemed to me that it just flowed very easily,” she said. “I thought the energy was really good see page 4

news Miss White Rock follows in sister’s footsteps

Pageant turns into royal-family affair

Samantha Schaap photo

Royal Woodin sisters Hayley (left) and Chloe.

White Rock’s newest youth ambassadors leapt feet-first into their new roles last weekend, taking a highly visible role at the Spirit of the Sea Festival. Led by new Miss White Rock Chloe Woodin – whose older sister, Hayley, was Miss White Rock in 2008 and is now a B.C. Ambassador – the team was a busy bunch, beginning Friday evening at the Coast Capital Playhouse, where the group’s annual gala was held. At the gala – which was attended by locals and out-of-town guests – the 2009 ambassadors were “retired” and the incoming group was announced. “Over 30 people from the Okanagan came out to watch, and a bunch of them were part of the (sea festival) parade later in the weekend, too, which was

great,” said program co-ordinator Debbie Ward. Also in attendance Friday were White Rock Mayor Catherine Ferguson, Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg and Andrea Hiebert, wife of South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale MP Russ Hiebert. Former White Rock Youth Ambassadors director Jane Tench also took in the ceremony. On Saturday, the ambassadors lent a hand at the Kiwanis Club’s pancake breakfast, helped out at the children’s pirate parade at East Beach, hosted a barbecue and also attended a teen’s dance at the Elks Hall. And in the evening, the ambassadors once again took their traditional places in the popular torchlight parade. “It was a very busy weekend for them, that’s for

sure,” said Ward. “But it was a lot of fun – it went very well.” Ward was especially excited about the newest Miss White Rock, noting it was the first time the sibling of a former ambassador had been crowned. “It had never happened before, so it was very nice, very unique,” she said of Woodin, a 16-year-old Earl Marriott Secondary student. Fellow ambassadors Freda Zhang of Elgin Park Secondary and Stephanie Charlton, from EMS, were named princesses, while Kira Apted Tilcock was voted friendship ambassador. Rounding out the 2010 team are Katie Fownes, Eric Zu, Stefanie Chen and Artoria Li. – Nick Greenizan

Deaf community celebrates

’Thunderous applause’ over history in making Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

Resolutions passed 130 years ago that banned the use of sign language in schools for the deaf have officially been rejected, and the signature of a South Surrey man is scrawled on the document that proves it. “I did it to try to erase the worldwide ignorance and misconceptions about the deaf,” Wayne Sinclair said of penning his name to the historical record. “I did it to try to instill in deaf children a pride of being fellow human beings on an equal footing with their hearing counterparts.” Sinclair, a retired father of two, had been advocating for the International Congress on Education of the Deaf (ICED) to dismiss and apologize for the resolutions, which were passed by educators at an 1880 meeting in Milan. Sinclair felt the effects of the decision firsthand while attending a Vancouver school for deaf people, where students were forced to attempt to read lips and communicate orally instead of signing. “The Milan decision was so painfully wrong – disastrous,” he told Peace Arch News through an interpreter in March. “This is the single event that has impacted the deaf community dramatically. After Milan, when they banned sign language in schools for the deaf all ❝We don’t want over the world, educato overcome; tion all of a sudden we just want to became inaccessible.” Sinclair and other move on.❞ members of the interWayne Sinclair national deaf community put pressure on the ICED to offer an apology at its next global convention, July 19 in Vancouver. Unlike two such attempts that failed in the past – at ICED conventions in Hamburg, Germany in 1980 and in New York in 1990 – the third time around proved successful. Sinclair represented the B.C. Deaf Community in working with ICED’s Vancouver 2010 Organizing Committee to negotiate the document, four original copies of which were signed by Sinclair, ICED chairperson Claire Anderson, Canadian Association of the Deaf president Doug Momotiuk and World Federation of the Deaf president Markku Jokinen.

South Surrey resident Wayne Sinclair shows documents rejecting an 1880 sign-language ban that impacted his childhood education. “As I signed the document, I wondered what new openings, new opportunities and new partnerships would come,” Sinclair said via email. “Naturally, I was emotional.” At 8:45 a.m. July 19, before an audience of more than 700 people from 62 countries, the rejection of the Milan resolutions was announced. “That resulted in a very thunderous applause,” Sinclair said. “There were lots of tears among the deaf participants and even some hearing people. The speaker had to wait perhaps a minute before the audience finally sat down.”

Sinclair said the international, national and provincial deaf associations will each receive a copy of the document, while the fourth will serve as a “legacy copy” to remind future congresses and educational programs for deaf children not to exclude sign languages. It will be taken to the United Nations in New York in the coming months, before going to South Africa next year for the WFD general assembly and to the next ICED convention in 2015 in Greece. Sinclair said the copy was signed by about 600 supporters at last month’s convention, and additional signatures are to be collected

in South Africa and Greece. “It serves as a reminder about the need to work with the deaf,” he said, noting he plans to see if the Canadian Museum of Human Rights in Winnipeg will put the B.C. copy on permanent display. “It will go on forever.” Sinclair said deaf communities are now exploring ways to seek further accommodation so they can benefit in their jobs, education and all other aspects of their lives. “We will move on,” he said. “We don’t want to overcome; we just want to move on. We want involvement with other people to make this a better world for all.”

Burning garbage has been OK’d by Metro Vancouver. Regional directors voted Friday to adopt a draft waste plan that includes incineration, within or outside the Vancouver area.

Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said there’s a huge host of emerging technologies available that out-of-region communities might want to host. She also noted the Fraser Valley is vehemently opposed to such a facility. “We have to respect their views as well,” Watts said, adding she would approve of an out-ofregion facility. “I think it’s the most balanced approach.” After rejecting three options provided by regional staff, the board chose to allow incinerators either in or out of the region based on a request for proposal process and judged by an independent party. In addition to the waste-toenergy decision, the board adopted the rest of the draft plan, which included several wastereduction initiatives. The document now goes to Environment Minister Barry Penner. Penner could approve the plan as presented by Metro without changes, make changes himself and then approve the amended plan or flag deficiencies in the plan and send it back for Metro to amend and resubmit.

A White Rock state of mind

here are some places that are more to do with a state of mind than strict geographical boundaries. Take Paris or New York, for example, or the Vatican City – it’s own undeniable reality within the bustling confines of the City of Rome. Closer to home, look at ‘Hollywood’ or ‘Disneyland’ – two notions more deeply engraved on the public mind than any mapmaker’s template. And – dare we say it – White Rock is another one of those places, at least for travellers journeying within their own province. Maybe this is just a fit of community hubris inspired by last weekend’s Spirit of the Sea Festival, but it’s hard not to feel proud of White Rock. The success of the festival proved, yet again, that White Rock – the idea, as much as the physical location – has the power to unite a community to achieve splendid things. Even with a late start, a recession mentality that limited sponsorship dollars, and gainsayers rattling old skeletons, the Spirit of the Sea Festival rallied the community at large to demonstrate that it’s truly the spirit of White Rock, and that White Rock is a bigger idea than what side of a road we live on, or the bottom line of any individual business. Which is what makes the erstwhile White Rock and South Surrey Chamber of Commerce’s recent decision to change its name to the Surrey and White Rock Chamber of Commerce a mite confusing. White Rock has been the mecca for both residents and businesses for years. The old joke has been the number of Peninsula residents who say they live in White Rock, and the number of South Surrey businesses that have trumpeted – widely – “come visit our White Rock store.” Surely, the chamber can’t believe residents or businesses were that confused by the old name, or will be that affected by such a trivial change. Or maybe an attempt to promote growth north of 16 Avenue has been misdirected into an attempt to eradicate the very being of White Rock. That the City of White Rock has been encountering – if not growing pains – then ‘aging’ pains is undeniable. A short supply of land, insensitive and railroaded redevelopment in the past, a shifting population base, the need for revitalization – these are all symptoms of a town in evolution, but not in decline. The Spirit of the Sea proves the brand of White Rock is as strong and vital as ever – and that may end up making it a trendier commodity than even a northward-focused Chamber of Commerce can imagine.

121 responding going to cap-and-trade under those circumstances was going to create some obvious uncompetitiveness between Alberta and B.C. or between B.C. and Ontario or whoever, I don’t think we should do it,” Bennett said. He agrees with B.C. participating in the Western Climate Initiative, because if and when a price is imposed on industrial carbon emissions, the province would be prepared and ready to benefit as a clean-energy leader. Premier Gordon Campbell’s goal of a one-third cut in B.C.’s greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 was ambitious when it was announced three years ago. It looks downright dubious now that the political reality in the U.S. has changed. Barack Obama doesn’t brag about lowering the ocean levels any more. He’s more concerned with keeping his own head above water. And Campbell’s climate target, along with some other sweeping “great goals,” appear to be setting like the sun on the B.C. flag, along with his political fortunes. Simon Fraser University resource economist Mark Jaccard put out a report last week estimating that B.C.’s rapidly growing natural gas industry will add 10 per cent more emissions, as carbon dioxide from shale gas is vented to the air. EnCana’s large new gas plant has been approved without requiring the still-experimental carbon capture and storage. Reduce emissions? Good luck with that.

Raw deal for longboarders Editor: Re: RCMP target longboarders, July 14. I’m a 15-year-old longboarder. I just bought my first longboard three days ago. I bought it for about $250. I think that as long as longboarders are wearing protection it should be fine. Every longboarder is aware that it is a dangerous sport, but then again, almost every sport is dangerous, so why not make all those dangerous sports illegal too? Longboarding is a way of transportation, but also, it is a way of staying green. In 2005, there were 6,420,000 automobile accidents but every year, only a few longbarders die from crashing. Driving is very dangerous so shouldn’t that be illegal, too? Every longboarder I have talked to about this change agrees with me. It is crucially unfair and a waste of money. People like me who just spent hundreds of dollars getting a longboard recently cannot ride in White Rock or Surrey. No one is going to give us a refund for our boards, but maybe they should. Longboarding has kept me distracted from being a bad kid. So what I’m trying to say is that the only thing bad about it is the injuries, but most of them are scratches and bruises. It’s a great way of transportation, saves gas, and it doesn’t pollute. If this goes on for longer, myself and all the other longboarders will get very upset. Brett Choi, Surrey

responsibly clean up after their dogs, but as with every other public space, it only takes a few to destroy the beauty. Let’s bring an extra dog poop bag with us for those that have forgotten to bring a bag. Let’s clean up after the person that leaves the waste behind. It is not just dog waste that mars the East Beach beauty, it is also litter and garbage. The City of Surrey is not responsible for cleaning up East Beach. Instead, the whole community can take responsibility to preserve this East Beach jewel. I suggest SALI sponsor an East Beach clean up twice a year. One way to curb the amount of dog traffic at East Beach would be if there was an attractive alternative for people and their dogs. SALI has been and still is conducting an online Surrey/White Rock dog parks survey and we have a very clear idea of what our community would like to see for dog walking. There has been an overwhelming positive response to our idea for a members-only off-leash dog park. With public opinion supporting us, SALI is proposing a one-ofa-kind members-only off-leash dog park with many amenities that are not available elsewhere. This includes electronic entry for members, agility course, clean swimming pond, enclosed puppy

and small dog area, memorial garden, rescue/adoption events, training programs, elevated bath station and coffee cart. We have been looking for the appropriate land for the dog park and our search it is still ongoing (www.sali.ca). In order to protect the human/animal bond, let’s take this opportunity to allow dogs to build community. Please note that all proceeds from the members-only dog park will go towards SALI’s Farm, which will be a safe haven for at-risk children and rescued animals to bond, learn and heal with one another.

Moving to the HST hellhole Editor: Re: HST arrives, and life goes on (B.C. Views, July 7). Tom Fletcher states, “over the past year, Alberta has seen an exodus of 5,000 people to other provinces, while B.C. attracted 7,500 new residents to the HST hellhole.” According to Statistics Canada, in their population estimates report for first quarter 2010, published June 28, the Alberta population grew 0.35 per cent,

Saskatchewan grew 0.36 per cent and B.C. grew 0.37 per cent. I am not sure if Mr. Fletcher is trying to imply that HST improves growth rate but there is no doubt that it is fertilizer of the smelliest variety. Also, why this repetitive harping on paying back the HST bribe from Ottawa? It was an increase in federal deficit offset against provincial deficit. “Their money” and “our money” is simply debt that must be repaid by us taxpayers whether it be by federal or B.C. taxation. (The termination clause in the agreement is 18 months notice with no penalty). As for the 300 now redundant tax collectors transferred from B.C. to federal employment, that could have been a real cost saving. Now we just hand them a differentcoloured paycheque. Neil Martin, Kelowna Tom Fletcher replies: Statistics Canada tracks interprovincial movements as well as total provincial population, which increases via births and international immigration as well as relocation within the country. Alberta experienced net provincial outflow in late 2009 that was its highest in 20 years, due largely to the international credit crisis and a surge of investment in northeastern B.C. natural gas resources.

Writer Douglas Brown says the City of Surrey would be wise to follow its own tips for water conservation.

Waterwise garden not so much Editor: The City of Surrey has gone to great expense to convert several flower beds in Southmere Village Park facing 16 Avenue and on the corner of 148 Street into ‘A Water Wise Garden.’ However, I was amazed to see that perhaps this project is “Not so water wise!” because when I walked through this park on July 22 at noon (please note the time), there were at least two hoses spouting loads of water and the attached photograph (above) shows one such hose. From the amount of water flowing onto the pathway, my guess would be that these hoses had been in

operation for several hours and probably moved from one section to another. This is not the first time these hoses have been in operation, but this time I went home to fetch my camera and record this indulgence. There is also a notice board that explains how important it is to save water; perhaps city staff should be directed to read these very important suggestions. Also, while this certainly is a great improvement, I wonder why two of the beds have not been completed. Perhaps this was “a work-work project” and the available funds were exhausted.

Anger builds over loss “Hi Marge... of prenatal care unit I just heard, Black Press

Anger and bewilderment continue to swirl around news that Fraser Health has removed services for the most at-risk babies born in the region from Surrey Memorial Hospital. The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) level 3 beds, for premature infants born weighing less than 2.6 pounds, were obtained with the help of donors who raised $1.4 million. The prenatal beds opened in February and were quietly shut down a few weeks ago and returned to Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster, where they were initially transferred from. Fraser Health Authority spokesman David Plug confirmed the closure last week, saying the service would return around 2014. The problem, he said, is a shortage of doctors to care for the mothers – hospital practice is to care for mom and baby in the same facility. Listeners to local radio station RedFM are upset, as they raised much of the money to purchase the hightech incubators, according to radio host Harjinder Thind. Surrey Coun. Mary Martin, who chairs the Mayor’s Task Force on Health, said there are many rumours as to why the beds were closed, but none of them are acceptable. “Those beds are gone until 2014, and they’re so needed,” Martin said. “I’m not going to let this one go, we’re just furious about it.”

Provincewide, premature infants are categorized as Level 1, 2 or 3 and provided care accordingly. Levels are determined mainly by age and weight. Level 3s are the tiniest and considered the most at-risk babies because they’re so underweight, have been born when the mother is less than 30 weeks (six months) into her pregnancy, and require longterm mechanical ventilation or other cardiovascular or neurological treatment. Mayor Dianne Watts said Surrey has a very young population and to have the NICU services removed until 2014 is “outrageous.” She planned to contact Health Minister Kevin Falcon to get them returned sooner. Meanwhile, Sue Hammell, the NDP MLA for Surrey-Green Timbers has launched a petition appealing for the return of service. “People in Surrey raised over $1 million to support the opening of new neonatal care beds at SMH, and now they feel betrayed that the government didn’t follow through on their promises,” Hammell said. Falcon said he’s not happy with Fraser Health’s timeline on the return of services to Surrey and has asked staff to explore a faster turn around. “I think Fraser Health would acknowledge they haven’t handled it as well as they could have,” Falcon said. “And certainly I think they can do better than the timeline they have indicated.”

Chuck Keeling, vice-president of racing operations at Fraser Downs, is leaving the family business.

Third generation of family that founded track changes careers

Keeling leaving Fraser Downs Dan Ferguson Black Press

Chuck Keeling is the third generation of the family that founded the harness racing track in Cloverdale that is now known as Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino. And he will likely be the last to work there. The owners of Fraser Downs, the Great Canadian Gaming Corporation, announced Thursday that Keeling has chosen to resign his position as vice-president of racing operations and general manager at 17755 60 Avenue. It’s a friendly departure, with company spokesman Howard Blank saying the company wishes Keeling well.

He will stay on till Oct. 1, then begin a new career. Keeling won’t disclose too much about his new path, except to say he is going into partnership with an entrepreneur he’s known for a long time, and it will involve commuting to Vancouver. “It is something totally unrelated to gaming and horse racing and anything I’ve ever done,” Keeling said. At 38, the married father of one said he wants to try something different while he is still young. It is a big change for a man who started working at the track when he was eight. “This was a difficult decision,” he said. He has no plans to leave the

The elder Keeling and his partners also opened Sandown Raceway near Victoria. In the early 1990s, Jim Sr. turned over the reins to his son Jim Jr. When Jim Jr. died suddenly, his son Chuck took over.

Civil servant wins lottery A 36-year-old financial analyst from Surrey says he’ll use his $1 million lottery win to pay off his house and “stick the rest in the bank.” Randy Atwal claimed his $1-million Lotto Max prize Thursday. “It’s a nice feeling to be relatively young and mortgage free,” said Atwal, a federal government employee who is married with two young children. “It’s also reassuring to know my kids won’t have to worry about

paying for college when they grow up.” Atwal commutes to work each day and admits he may be in for a rough ride once his fellow carpoolers read about his win. “They’re going to tease me for sure,” he said. “I’ll probably have to buy all the gas now.” Atwal purchased his winning ticket at the International News stand on West Pender Street in Vancouver for the July 23 Lotto Max draw.

hen Lauryn Prystie found a small mole on her knee, she thought having it removed last fall would be the end of the problem. Four weeks later, when results from a pathology test showed the mole was malignant, the South Surrey woman was confronted with the possibility of cancer. Further testing erased any doubt. While a skin sample came back negative, a lymph node dissection did not. “They found that it had spread,” Lauryn’s mother, Lynda, recalled. “It had already spread to the sentinel node, so that meant further surgery. “We were devastated.” Diagnosed with malignant melanoma, Lauryn, 23, spent eight days at Surrey Memorial Hospital last January and had seven lymph nodes removed. Results a couple of weeks later were a relief – the cancer had not spread any further. As a precaution, Lauryn started treatment in April at BC Cancer Agency’s Fraser Valley Centre – located next to SMH – receiving an injectable medication called interferon five days a week for a month. Sometimes during the visits, Lauryn would receive her three-hour treatment in one of the clinic’s cozy brown chairs. Other days, when she wasn’t so lucky, she would be appointed to an uncomfortable turquoise one. “I’d always go there and say, ‘I hope I get a brown chair,’” she said. “The chair was a huge part of it. It made a huge difference.” Although Lauryn eventually stopped going to the clinic for medication – she is now to do self-injections at home for a year – she and Lynda considered how they could help other patients there, some of whom receive treatment six hours a day. “We wanted to do something to give back because (the staff) were so amazing there and so helpful,” Lauryn said. The mother-daughter duo planned a fundraiser in the backyard of their South Surrey home, in hopes of raising enough money to purchase a new chair – priced at $3,500 – for the centre. Using Lauryn’s nickname, Yo, they called

ULTIMATE GUIDE TO

GOLF

Share your love of golf It’s never too early to introduce kids to the popular sport Is there anything better in life than golf? Of course not! If only everyone else could understand this… including your kids. So what are you waiting for? Share this passion with them. But don’t just teach your kids how to play, teach them how to play well. Any golfer knows how important it is to start off on the right foot with the proper techniques. It is far too easy to pick up bad golfing habits and so hard to break them! Maybe you did not have a chance to start off with lessons at a very young age, but you can give your kids this opportunity. It’s an investment that will serve them well their entire lives. And who knows? Maybe there’s a little

Tiger in your family. Did you know that most of the world’s best golfers started playing before the age of five? So give your kids a good foundation to build on — from a young age. All these dreams of turning your children into professional golfers aside, it’s easy to properly introduce kids to this fun sport. Today, most golf clubs organize courses, sessions and tournaments specifically for children. Golf has grown dramatically in popularity over the past few years, and it’s no surprise. In fact, more and more kids today dream of becoming as good as their heroes… and these heroes are getting younger and younger each year.

Blast from the past

Group of 10

Implications of Runway – A Modern Twist on an Ancient Form of Expression is an exhibit of work by Langley artist Susan Falk opening this Thursday, Aug. 5, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the White Rock Community Arts Council, 1959 152 St. Falk will be in attendance and refreshments will be served. Implications of Runway is an edgy juxtaposition of prehistoric and contemporary; the feel of early paleolithic cave painting mixed with what Falk calls “hip runway chicks.” The earliest cave paintings, Falk says, expose the “ever-human impulse to portray oneself and be inspired to enhance and connect with beauty.” Her modern twist to this impulse is to depict modern runway models as they would appear – complete with fashions and accessories – if discovered on the wall of a stone age cave. Falk says she belives she shares the same desire – and need – to paint as the early artists. “It’s a sense that something visual must be identified and painted in order to be more involved in it.” For more information, visit www. whiterockartscouncil.com or call 604-5368333.

Move over, Group of Seven – the Group of 10, a new gathering of artists from all walks of life will present their work to Aug. 31 at 110-15715 Croydon Dr. (Morgan Crossing at the clock tower near Thrifty Foods and Winners) The art sale features the work of Peninsula artists Donna Schipfe, Becky McMahon, Irma Bijdemast, Connie Wicklund, Florence Morris, Drena Hambrook, Jess Rice, Nicole Carrie, Deborah Strong and Art Giddings.

Four areas of the city have been approved for busking performances: East Beach (at Finlay Street), White Rock Museum and Archives’ west plaza (on the promenade), Five Corners (Pacific Avenue and Johnston Road) and the Whale Wall (Russell Avenue and Johnston Road).

White Rock Museum and Archives presents the exhibition Big Sand, running through mid-August at the museum, 14970 Marine Dr. The show celebrates the history of the city’s famed, sometimes controversial Canadian Open Sandcastle Competition of the 1970s and 1980s, using archival photography and some artifacts. It’s the last show scheduled for the museum before the planned renovations – aimed at upgrading storage and collection space, and restoring some of the old Burlington Northern station’s original configuration – begin this fall. For more information, call 604-541-2222.

Dean Paul Gibson One of Earl Marriott Secondary theatre program’s most successful alumni, Jessie award-winner Dean Paul Gibson, returns to Vancouver’s Bard on the Beach festival this year in a dual role – director of the main stage production of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, which runs to Sept. 25, and as the title character in Falstaff (running until Sept. 22). The gorgeously-costumed Much Ado About Nothing has been set by Gibson in an appropriate period, the Edwardian era just before the Great War. In contrast, Falstaff, directed by Glynis Leyshon, is set in late medieval period. An adaptation of sections of Henry IV parts one and two, it traces the story of young prince Hal (later Henry V) and his misspent youth under the influence of outrageous drunk and brawler Sir John Falstaff. One of theatre’s most beloved characters, Falstaff was certainly a favourite of Queen Elizabeth I, who commissioned The Merry Wives of Windsor specifically because she wanted to see “Sir John in love.” For tickets, call 604-739-0559 or 1-877739-0559.

J. Dale Bradford Barrister & Solicitor REPRESENTATION AGREEMENTS

hen the Representation Agreement Act came into force on February 28, 2000 there was a great deal of reluctance on the part of many lawyers to use the Representation Agreements which that legislation authorized. 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. I admit that I was among that group of lawyers who were skeptical 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 grantorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legal and financial affairs, a Representation Agreement can have the same application but can also authorize the representative to look after the grantorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health and personal care needs. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

After years of waiting, Ken Webb is called to the hall

Inducted at last Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

or years, Kerri Shott listened to people tell her that her father, Ken Webb, was destined for the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame. After all, Webb, a high-scoring, aggressive left winger, had carved out an impressive 10-year-career in the 1940s and early ’50s, playing primarily for the Richmond Farmers, while also spending a few years with a Navy team and a pair of Vancouver Brewerysponsored clubs, the Combines and Pilsners. “Ever since I was a kid, people would say that my dad was a hall-of-fame player,” Shott, a South Surrey resident, explained. “But it just took so long, you figured it was never going to happen.” Webb, 84, was of the same mind as his daughter, in part because it had been decades since he last played, and memories – and statistics – often fade in time. A few years ago, Webb – who has a near-encylopedic memory of every arena he played in, and every teammate he ever played with – heard he might have a shot at induction, but when nothing happened, he didn’t give it much more thought. “(Former league statistician/historian) Stan Shillington called in about 2007, asking me for information about my career. I knew what he was doing, but I told them, ‘You’re wasting your time,’” Webb said. “And 2007 went by, and I didn’t get in… and then ’08 and ’09 goes by, and you just think, ‘OK, I guess that’s it,’ and you really just forget all about it.” Imagine Webb’s surprise then, when he received a phone call out of the blue last month. “The guy on the other end of the line says, ‘Congratulations Ken, it’s my pleasure to inform you that you’ve been inducted into the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame,’” Webb explained, getting misty-eyed in the process. “You could’ve knocked me over with a feather, you really could have.” Webb will be inducted into the veteran’s category during a ceremony in November, at Hall of Fame headquarters in New Westminster’s Queen’s Park Arena. Webb’s stats in the old Inter-city

South Surrey’s Ken Webb will be inducted into the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame this November.

Lacrosse League (now called the Western Lacrosse Association) were impressive enough – two Mann Cup ppearances, plus appearances, 3022 goals and 403 nts in just 214 points s, including an games, goal game July 25, eight-goal 1943. hree papers the “In all three next day, I had an eightdline,” Webb column headline, said, pulling a yellowed copy funct Vancouver of the long-defunct om a folder of News-Herald from keepsakes. umbers, Webb But despite the numbers, figured one part of his career was working against him: injuries. asons, so “I missed so many seasons, many games,” said Webb, who retired ries caught in 1953, at just 27, after injuries up to him. “In 1943, I got hit in the kidneys by Fritz Calvin. I was stretched out in front of the crease, waiting for a pass and he got me,” Webb said with a chuckle. “It’s the closest I can remember to ever being knocked out. I didn’t lose consciousness, but they took me off on a stretcher, and I missed the last three games of the season.” That was just the beginning of Webb’s long list of bumps, bruises, aches and sprains. In 1945, while on 60-day leave from the Navy – and with a written promise that he wouldn’t play contact sports – Webb played five games for the Farmers anyway, breaking his ankle and his leg. “I told the Navy that I tripped on a log at the beach,” said Webb. “I got away with it.” In 1946, Webb got blood poisoning after falling and scratching his knee on the leadpainted, wooden floor at Queen’s Park Arena; in ’47 he tore cartilage in his knee and missed the rest of the season; and the following year, he played the entire season with a see page 23

sports Amateur race-car drivers win best-themed team in Spokane

Flying Lumberjacks back on the track A few months after putting their driving skills â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not to mention their car â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to the test during a 24-hour race in California, a team of local amateur racers were at it again last month. The team, dubbed the Flying Lumberjacks because they wear lumberjack-inspired uniforms and have a large prop axe attached to the roof of their 1988 Volkswagen Fox, was in Spokane, Wash. July 24-25 for another day-long race â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Children of the Sun

In May, the team â&#x20AC;&#x201C; made up of local businessmen Paul Hanley, Rob Edworthy, Jerry Strutinski, Tim Hickey and Nick Diomis â&#x20AC;&#x201C; finished 58th out of 108 cars in the 24 Hours of LeMons, in Willows, Calif. The team â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which this time consisted of Edworthy, Diomis, Colin Jones and Bennett Hui â&#x20AC;&#x201C; didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win in Spokane, either, but they did win top prize for being the best-themed team at the

been some door.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? After his playing career ended, Webb turned to coaching â&#x20AC;&#x201C; coaching his youngest son, Scott, in North Vancouver in the 1970s. His two grandsons, Cam and Riley, also played minor lacrosse. Webb, who has lived on the Peninsula for 20 years, still watches the sport on TV, but admits itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the same as it was when he played. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that the game today is the same. Kids today, when they score, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re

banging the boards with their sticks and jumping around. All this showmanship in sports today is foreign to people who played in my time,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Used to be, you scored your goal and somebody might pat you on the fanny with their stick, and you went back to work. You didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go running around.â&#x20AC;? Players change teams too regularly, too, he said â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in all sports, not just lacrosse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were times where I couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gone to the Burrards or the Salmonbellies â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one of the top teams at the time. I look back, and out of the 10 seasons I played, only four of them was with a winning team. Six years with Richmond, finishing last,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People were more loyal in those days.â&#x20AC;? He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t regret the decision to stick by the Farmers, though, nor does he lament continuing to play through so many injuries â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even if his once-broken leg is â&#x20AC;&#x153;kind of deformedâ&#x20AC;? now, or that, on occasion, his old kidney injury still gives him discomfort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What can I say â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hard sport to give up â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a game that gets in your blood.â&#x20AC;?

My knee would go out when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d hit the floor, but I could kick it out in mid-air â&#x20AC;&#x201C; while I was running down the wing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and it would pop back in.â&#x20AC;? In 1950, he added to his injury list by hyper-extending his elbow, and then in 1951, while playing in the Mann Cup against Peterborough, he cracked his ribs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never been shot, but it felt like what a bullet must feel like. It was just searing pain. I just collapsed. I tried to play, but just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t,â&#x20AC;? said Webb. But, in a true showing of toughness, Webb returned for the final game of the series. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had both ankles taped, both knees taped, my wrist taped, and I had my ribs cracked,â&#x20AC;? he said. Injuries occasionally took a toll on his day job, too. Webb, who worked for years as an advertising executive, remembers one instance particularly well, during the 1953 season. In â&#x20AC;&#x2122;52, he travelled with his team to the Mann Cup against orders from his boss â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Webb had no more

LIBRA

(March 21-April 19):

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You must think very seriously about all matters concerning your professional life. At the moment you have the impression that nothing is progressing the way you would like. However, be aware that this is only a temporary situation.

You are able to teach several things to the people you love and you are ready to listen when they need to explain the importance of what they are experiencing. You love being able to communicate with people and this brings you happiness.

TAURUS

SCORPIO

(April 20-May 19):

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You will experience some amazing things. You are in a phase that requires a lot of perceptiveness. This is very decisive even though you are not really conscious of it at the moment.

You are at a crucial point in your professional life. Planet Jupiter brings you some magnificent things. However, you need to be able to face up to them and experience them to the fullest.

GEMINI

SAGITTARIUS

(May 21-June 20):

(Nov. 22-Dec.21)

You are heading towards situations that will bring you a lot of happiness. You will be able to see with more realism the value of what you are experiencing. This will surprise you in a happy way.

You want to head towards new challenges. The North Node (the moon’s ascending node) will make this possible. You will be very satisfied with this and everything will be for the best. You will feel younger in spirit.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You have some fantastic things to learn. You are in a phase where everything takes on new meaning. You need to talk with the person you love. Be very frank.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You are at a time in your life that requires a lot of care. You must really make allowances in several areas. You feel intuitively that certain changes have occurred in the people close to you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You mustn’t allow yourself to lose your self-esteem in any way. Planet Saturn causes everything you experience to be serious, requiring a lot of care. You need people to come closer to you on a moral level.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You are very sure of yourself and this brings you much personal radiance. However, be aware that you mustn’t always be in moral confrontation with others. Learn to live in a happier way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Planet Mars causes you to really want to know the people you work with. You are very demanding in your professional life. You want everything to be done well. Continue in this way but know that you must respect what others are experiencing.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) The South Node (the moon’s descending node) obliges you to delay certain things that you felt were important. However, know that there is nothing negative in this. Everything will soon take on new meaning.

Qualified Care Aides, Homemakers, and Live-In staff to care for you in the comfort of your own home...

Career & Education Spotlight by Black Press A downturn in the economy usually means fewer jobs. It can also lead to more students attending post-secondary institutions, putting off entering the job market so they can upgrade their skills and training. “We have seen an increase over the last couple of years,” said Kathleen Bigsby, director of Institutional Analysis and Planning at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. “We think there’s a link to the labour market, but we don’t know for sure.” Fall enrollment at Kwantlen rose 10 per cent – or about 1,200 students – from 2008 to 2009. Numbers in the spring also rose, by approximately 3.5 per cent. “We’re all in the three to ﬁve per cent range,” said Bigsby of the increases at post-secondary institutions in the Lower Mainland. “It’s one of the reasons we think it’s the labour market. It’s not just a few institutions, it all of them.” Jeremy Sabell, executive director of Stenberg College, said enrollment at the Surrey school is up”15 to 20 per cent” to roughly 450 students. “It’s been up since the downturn in the economy,” he said. “And we see the effects when we hire. There’s strong candidates for jobs that wouldn’t usually draw those applications.” Norbert Ruimy, director of the Surrey campus of Sprott Shaw Community College says when there’s a downturn in the economy, his institution usually witnesses a rise in enrolment.

“We see a lot of students coming back to take refresher Attendant program has fallen off, and we’re not sure why,” he classes – we have free lifetime upgrading – and we notice said. “And there’s a ton of opportunities out there in that area. when the economy starts to turn, students always come back “And there’s a huge need in our Community Support and for retraining,” said Ruimy. outreach Worker (mental health) program. And not as many “We also have a lot of students that took a program with us, people in that field as you might think.” and for some reason did not complete it ... maybe they found a job and worked with a job for five years, and all of a sudden they’re laid off and now they feel they need their diploma.” Still other students, he says, are looking for greater job security in uncertain economic (& Contact Lens Fitter) times. “We find a lot of people are fed up with * Start Your Own Business!! * this roller-coaster ride so they want to get into a career that is basically recession-proof.” * 6 month days... Ruimy said while student numbers begins Sept. 13th during a slumping economy appear to increase in all areas of studies, including business programs, nursing and early child #208 - 10070 King George Hwy., Surrey * 12 month eve education, interest in medical fields has risen begins Oct. 19th significantly at Sprott Shaw.

Since opening my restaurant at Grandview Corners more than a year ago, I have found advertising in the Peace Arch News to be a simple and effective way to promote my business on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. I have seen especially good results with ads that I have placed in their monthly coupon promotion, Clip or Click. In March of this year, I ran a buy-one-get-onefree coupon on the back page of the coupon wrap and was delighted to receive more than 300 coupons back from customers over subsequent weeks. On the advice of my advertising representative, there was no expiration date on the coupon which was extremely helpful with the promotion, as it encouraged people to come in even weeks after the advertisement was published. I was very impressed with the response to the coupon and the feedback that I have received from customers since then has been extremely positive as well. Working with the Peace Arch News over the past year has been a pleasant and beneficial experience, and everyone involved in the admaking process has always gone to great lengths to make sure my ads are just the way I want them. I would highly recommend any local businesses advertise with Peace Arch News – after seeing first hand the positive response from their readers, I am confident that my ads have paid off with increased customer visits.

ADVERTISING FEATURE

Infiniti M37/M56 sedans 2011: Four models, one fun drive. Story and photos by Jim Robinson Metroland Newspapers Carguide Magazine

UCLUELET, B.C.: “This is the best car they’ve ever built,” my usual co-driver said over and over again. He was talking about the 2011 Infiniti M sedan. The only question was which one? First let me set the stage. The M is now in its third generation; the first one debuting in 2003. Like the last generation M there is one sedan with a choice of two engines and rear or all-wheel-drive (RWD or AWD). They are badged as the M37, M37x, M56 and M56X respectively. The M37 uses the latest version of the long-serving “VQ” DOHC V6 but now with variable valve lift technology producing 330 hp and 270 lb/ft of torque, up 27 hp and 8 lb/ft over the current model. Fuel economy has been improved to 11.4/7.6L/100 km city/highway for the RWD and 12.0/8.3L/100 km city/highway for the AWD. The M56 uses a 5.6-litre DOHC V8 now with gasoline direct injection for a thumping 420 hp and 417 lb/ft of torque up an impressive 95 hp and 81 lb/ft over the current model. But fuel consumption is actually slightly better at 12.9/8.0L/100 km city/highway for the RWD and 13.4/8.5L/100 km city/highway for the AWD. Of the two, the M37x, probably because of the AWD, seemed more sure-footed but not as fast as the M56 when it came to coping with road conditions. Over a stretch of about 400 km from Nanaimo to Ucluelet and back, surfaces ranged from four-lane highway, to twisting two-laners overland to challenging off-camber 30 km turns across the tops of the mountains in rain, drizzle and sun. The M56 was by far the most powerful. With all that newfound torque, passing was a breeze even on the few short stretches available. And because this was the Sport model that had much larger 14.0 and 13.8 inch brakes fore and aft, stopping was swift with the added bonus of the balance of the binders being such that you could modulate the bite so as to only scrub off as much speed as necessary. The Sport model (available only with RWD) also features 4Wheel Active Steer that allows the rear wheels a one degree steer angle to set up the rear in a turn. The other thing was the M56 had the upgraded 20inch wheels with low profile tires which were less compliant on uneven and rutted roads than the standard 19-inch tires with slightly higher sidewalls as fitted to the M37x.

Making spirited driving all the better was the standard seven-speed automatic. Heading into a corner, with the brakes either on hard or soft, the transmissions blips the throttle during down shifts and always, it seemed, at the right moment now matter how slowly or urgently I used the brakes. Interestingly, the M56 Sport weighs slightly less than the M37x yet the M37x felt better in the conditions we encountered. The only thing we could figure out was the better weight distribution fore and aft due to the AWD and the more forgiving tires made the difference. But it was close. The new M sedans are also the best looking cars to come from Infiniti in a long time. Much of the inspiration comes from the Essence concept car that got such rave reviews last year on the car show circuit. You can see it in the high rising front fender line and the low-slung grille. Slightly wider and longer than the current model, it is also 76 mm lower giving the M a more balanced profile. The interior is tasteful, and I don’t say that very often about Japanese cars. Sure it’s about fine leathers and woods, but where you see the thought is in the many finishing details like the teardrop shape of the inside door pulls and their surrounds. They pick up the flowing shape of the instrument panel and carry it on past the front seat where they are repeated in the back. Optional is something called the Forest Air System. There is a “breeze mode” that pumps the air around the cabin so it feels like you’re in the forest. On top of that, it regulates the air conditioner to add humidity instead of just dry air. It also features an auto recirculation system that detects certain gasses on odours coming in from outside and quells them. Standard is Infiniti Drive. This is a rotary knob between the front seats that lets the driver select one of four modes that alter with transmission shift points and engine mapping. Standard Mode is just that and optimized for everyday travel. Eco sets the M up for better fuel economy. Here the car prompts you to be easier on the gas to the point the accelerator pedal needs a little extra foot pressure if you want to go for power. Sport extends to shift points and valve closing for the best performance. And Snow Mode is for what the name implies. Beside all the driver safety technology you expect in a car of this caliber like ABS, stability control and traction control, Infiniti has looked at how to protect and alert the driver of dangers before they become threats. There is Intelligent Cruise Control that works with

The 2011 Infiniti M sedan (M37x shown) is one of the best handling cars yet produced by Nissan/ Infiniti. Longer, lower and wider, it is also one of the best looking Infiniti vehicles. The mix of materials used on the interior won the prestigious 2010 Ward’s Auto Interior of the Year award in the Premium Price Car Category for Infiniti. Distance Control Assist and keeps you at a preset distance from the vehicle in front regardless of speed. In addition to Blind Sport Warning where a light comes on in the A-pillar when a car gets too close, Blind Spot Intervention moves the car slightly if another vehicle is in too close. There’s so much more like the optional 16-speaker Bose Surround system of the navigation/infotainment system with 9.3 gig hard drive that can store up to 2,000 songs. Pricing starts at $52,400 for the M37 or $63,400 for the M37 with the Sport option with its 20-inch wheels and sport suspension. The M37x ranges from $54,900 to $63,800 with all options in. The M56 starts at $66,200 for the RWD and tops out at $73,800 for the M56x with all options. Even at that, it is still less than the starting price for the BMW550. M37 or M56, this is really a driver’s car, not one for boulevard cruising although it sure has the looks to draw stares. But you’ll have to test them both out yourself to ﬁnd out.

Osteoarthritis Informational Seminar Thurs., Aug. 5th Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and is the leading cause of disability in elderly people. 42.4% of British Columbians older than 65 report that they have arthritis and approximately 306,000 people in our province sought medical treatment for this condition in 2005. This results in a large cost to our health care system and more importantly can lead to a decreased quality of life for those affected with uncontrolled pain. Arthritis is a progressive disorder characterized by inflammation and a resulting in loss of cartilage in the joint. This causes pain and stiffness in the joints and leads to decreased mobility. The most common joints affected are the knees, hips, hands, spine and big toes although it can occur in other joints as well. The most common risk factors for developing arthritis are obesity, joint trauma, certain occupations, family history and the one that none of us can avoid….getting older. So as our population ages, the incidence of arthritis is expected to increase. Some people with arthritis don’t require any specific treatment at all. However, options range from exercise and weight control, to physiotherapy, medications and natural products. Carolyn Bubbar Surgery can be considered as a last resort depending on the severity of the symptoms. Different medications target different parts of the problem. Some target pain only, others inflammation or cartilage damage. Not all medications are right for every person as it depends on your specific symptoms, your other medical conditions, and other medications that you may take. However, there are many effective treatment options available to discuss with your health care provider to determine which is right for you.

Experience DIGITAL INFRARED THERMAL IMAGING at Pure Pharmacy Health Centre The key to maintaining your health is prevention. It is far easier to care for the first indications that something is wrong than to try and fix a problem that has caused significant damage. What does Infrared Full Body Imaging have to offer? Infrared imaging may provide you with an early warning system. Unlike other forms of imaging that detect structural changes such as a tumor, infrared imaging looks at the body’s subtle chemical and nervous system signals. These neurochemical signals may be sent far in advance of significant damage to the body. Other tests may say whether or not a tumor is present, but infrared imaging offers a warning for many of the health problems that ruin our quality of life. With this information in hand, you and your health care provider can outline a method for treating a current problem or possibly preventing future problems before they cause irreversible damage. Be Proactive. Book your appointment today.
