Baby care shifted Kevin Diakiw Black Press

High-level care for newborns at Surrey Memorial Hospital has been shut down only months after it was introduced. The news has some of the people who helped raise millions for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) level-three beds scratching their heads. Fraser Health Authority confirmed the service has been temporarily moved back to Royal Columbian Hospital, where it transferred from last February. Fraser Health spokesman David Plug said Thursday the reason for the move is that Surrey Memorial doesn’t have the doctors in place to take care of the mothers. The preferred approach is to have mom and baby in the same facility, he said. The incubators for the level 3’s (the tiniest, most at-risk babies) are now being used for level-2 premature babies. Plug said the plan is to have the level-3 capability back in Surrey by 2014. Jason Howe, spokesperson for the Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation, which collected donations for the beds and ventilators, said the foundation is discouraged about the timeline. That said, he’s pleased that the equipment purchased during the $1.4 million fundraising effort will remain at Surrey Memorial. NDP Health Critic Adrian Dix said the hurried move to Surrey and the move back is “something of a fiasco.” He pointed out the move of services to Surrey was publicly celebrated by FHA, and the transfer back to RCH was executed without any public notice. “This has been an incredibly divisive and poorly managed effort,” Dix said. “I think the public is going to be justifiably appalled.”

Suspected grow-op prompts street closure New York

CLOSED MONDAY AUG. 2 - B.C. DAY

BAR-B-QUE ME!

A suspected grow operation prompted police to descend on a South Surrey home Friday night. Residents in the 1800-block of 164 Street said 15 to 20 Emergency Response Team officers, police dogs, a tactical armoured vehicle and two vans, plus several police cruisers, flooded the normally quiet area around 6 p.m. They blocked access to the street between 20 and 16 avenues for several hours. According to neighbours, police searched one home and the area around it. And although most of the vehicles subsequently left, there were still police cars at the address 24 hours later. Monday, Surrey RCMP Cpl. Marc Searle confirmed the home is under investigation as the site of a potential grow operation. No arrests have been made or charges laid, however, one individual was questioned in connection with the investigation. Asked whether this was an unusually high police presence for a grow operation, Searle

Search still on for hit-and-run driver Three weeks after an elderly woman suffered life-threatening injuries in a hit-andrun crash in White Rock, the driver responsible has yet to be found. The 77-year-old was struck around 9:15 a.m. July 7 as she crossed Lee Street at Marine Drive. There were no reported witnesses, however, police believe the senior was hit by a larger vehicle, likely a truck, which then fled northbound on Lee. The woman was airlifted to Royal Columbian Hospital from Semiahmoo Park. Sgt. Paul Fletcher said the woman, whose identity has not been released, remains in hospital, and the search continues for the

Nearly two years after David Demke and Matt Hibbs were struck in the Kent Street crosswalk on North Bluff Road, police still have no suspects in the near-fatal crash. The men were hit around 11:45 p.m. Aug. 29, 2008. Impact threw Demke, 20 at the time, about 50 feet. He suffered multiple breaks to one arm and one leg, his pelvis and vertebrae were fractured and his throat was slit by glass from the windshield. - Tracy Holmes

city-owned property, public information meetings revealed nearby residents would prefer it to be located on school property on the far west side of the field. Cost of the proposed facility is $40,000, of which the community, including the sports groups and White Rock Millenium Rotary Club, will put up half and the rest will be funded by $13,300 from the city and $6,700 from a federal recreational facilities grant. But Jones, who noted the field hosts many events, said the need for such a facility has become urgent. “What has happened is that little guys – and little girls, too – are doing their thing against the fence in the corner. I don’t think

that that’s acceptable. “To me it’s embarrassing and it’s unsafe – there are a lot of creepos out there. We wanted to make sure the kids are safe.” Jones noted the groups have found, historically, that the school district is slow to respond to such requests. Council approved recommendations from city engineering and municipal operations director Rob Thompson that council receive the results of public consultation, that staff meet with school district staff to explore the feasibility of using school land for a washroom, and that staff report back to council on both feasibility and cost implications.

Semi slams minivan

Firefighters help a woman who was injured when a semi-trailer collided with a minivan in South Surrey on Monday afternoon.

One woman was airlifted to hospital Monday following a noon-hour crash on 192 Street at 22 Avenue. Surrey RCMP were called around 12:15 p.m. July 26, after a semi-trailer eastbound on 22 Avenue collided with a minivan that was travelling south on 192. According to police, preliminary investigation indicates the truck did not stop at the stop sign. It struck the van on the passenger side. A female passenger who suffered serious injuries was airlifted to Royal Columbian Hospital. The driver was transported to hospital by ambulance. Three other passengers, described as young adults, were treated at the scene. Members of the RCMP’s Integrated Collision Reconstruction Team are investigating. Police closed 192 Street to traffic between 16 and 24 Avenues for several hours. - Tracy Holmes

Surrey moves closer to legalizing secondary suites Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Surrey is forging ahead to allow secondary suites in all single-family dwellings. According to a poll of 1,500 people conducted between June 28 and July 6 by Ipsos Reid, 63 per cent of Surrey residents support allowing a suite in all homes. The most supportive community was Newton (65 per cent) and least was South Surrey (57 per cent). Monday, city councillors unanimously supported a policy where: • one secondary suite will be allowed in all single-family dwellings in the city; • multiple suites in a house will be prohibited; • the building owner resides on the premises; • the owner of the home provides extra offstreet parking;

• extra fees will be charged to cover city about $700 annually for being situated in the premium zone – even though their homes services; • existing suites comply with building were suite-free. And while Surrey was trycodes. ing to contain the proliferation of suites, “I think it’s a balanced approach,” said they were being built in unfinished baseMayor Dianne Watts. “Like I said, the issues ments throughout the city.

Linda Hepner and Bob Bose also expressed support for the recommended policy changes. Coun. Barinder Rasode said she’s also supportive but believes there’s an opportunity to make some enhancements. Allowing one suite per home first came up in the city’s affordable housing strategy last year. The mayor set up a focus group to come up with recommendations, and some of the reaction was mixed. Coun. Tom Gill supports the recommendations, but wants to make sure the suite fee covers all city services, including construction and operation of recreation facilities and parks. Staff will now work on a detailed policy and bring it back to council.

news Surrey council rejects staff recommendation to find alternative site

City to wait for compost ruling Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

Surrey city staff have recommended an alternative site be found for a compost plant proposed for South Surrey. But council rejected the suggestion, instead deciding to await a ruling from the Agricultural Land Commission. The proposal – a commercial composting facility located in the Agricultural Land Reserve, at 17690 and 17720 12 Ave. – is currently before the ALC, as the developer wants to use the lots for a non-farm use. Pilot Grove Farms intends to sell the majority (95 per cent) of the compost produced at the plant offsite, which exceeds the amount allowed within the ALR. “The Agricultural Land Commission has deferred a decision on the non-farm use application pending a review by their executive committee of the wider implications of this proposal and potential future policies,” states a staff report. Coun. Judy Villeneuve said Tuesday that an ALC report is expected by September. Staff ’s reasons for recommending an alternative site were outlined in the city report, and included a peer review that found the proposed location is uncommon for a large-scale compost facility.

File photo

Surrey council has rejected a proposal to find an alternative site for a composting facility. While such plants are typically situated in close proximity to other industrial activities, the South Surrey proposal is close to a protected fish habitat watercourse, a water well and private residences, and has a high water table. “Preliminary indications are that other more suitable sites could be explored, where potential impacts would be minimized,” the report states. The plant is intended to compost green waste, food waste and agricultural waste into “Class A” compost, and would produce up to 20,000 tonnes of compost annually. Pilot Grove Farms has argued the compost would benefit soils of the area, and the site itself addresses Metro Vancouver’s commitment to divert 70 per

cent of landfill waste by 2015. It has engaged a consultant to ensure any creek and environmental concerns are addressed, according to the report. Pilot Grove submitted a petition to the city with more than 1,000 signatures of support. Opponents – who have expressed concerns about odour, noise, traffic, impact on land values and environmental impacts on groundwater, fish habitat and air quality – have submitted their own petition, signed by 934 people. Letters, emails and phone calls from neighbouring property owners, as well as a letter from 18 local business owners and community representatives, opposing the proposal have also been received by the city, the report states. According to the report, findings from a consultant retained by Pilot Grove indicate the proposal should be effective in managing odour, dust, vectors, leachate and other nuisance conditions, based on current acceptable industry practices for a facility of its size. “The report does not, however, comment on how much nuisance impacts could be further reduced if a more appropriate site were selected, closer to other industrial activity, away from a protected watercourse, water well and private residences.”

editorial

Success stories worth celebrating ere on the Semiahmoo Peninsula, there is never a shortage of talented people achieving great things – be it in the classroom, in business, in the arts or on the sports field. No question about it – we’re a talented bunch. But even by those lofty standards, the last few weeks have been awfully impressive. Last week, for starters, more than 20 community policing volunteers were honoured by the South Surrey RCMP for their efforts – efforts which, when combined, total more than 20,000 hours of service. On the business front, communications expert John Kageorge was recently recognized – winning an outstanding achievement award from the Canadian Public Relations Society. And then, of course, there’s the world of sports – long a strength of the White Rock and South Surrey community. Two weeks ago, the White Rock Renegades softball club won three provincial titles, and last weekend, the club’s senior A women’s team, took top spot at B.C. Championships in Richmond. All told, five Renegade teams will vie for national titles when tournaments begin next month. Adam Svensson, 16, has seen plenty of headlines lately, as well, after a three-week run on the golf course that’s been as impressive as any this community – or province, perhaps – has ever seen. First he won a B.C. junior boys title, then the 2010 Callaway World Championships in San Diego. Last Friday, he completed the trifecta by becoming the youngest player ever to win the B.C. Amateur Championship. Last weekend’s B.C. Games in Langley – one of the biggest events of the summer – rounded out the month’s achievement streak nicely. To no one’s surprise, Peninsula athletes didn’t disappoint, nabbing medals in everything from rugby to track and field. White Rock Renegades president Greg Timm perhaps said it best, when speaking to the Peace Arch News last week: We’ve been spoiled this year. Timm was speaking, of course, of his club’s recent successes on the fastpitch diamond, but he just as easily could’ve been summing up the entire summer. Simply calling the month impressive almost seems an understatement. And with a month still to go, there’s little doubt there will be more to celebrate before autumn arrives.

55 responding Here’s another “leaked” document to illustrate the situation: To: luigi@badguys.com From: bigjulie@badguys.com Subject: B.C. casinos Hey Luigi, nice woik getting the laundromat running on the West Coast. Just one problem. Our guys go in there for a week, I give ’em two full hockey bags to wash, they come back with one bag. Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice and clean, but let’s not forget these are the competition’s casinos. And these West Coast guys ain’t playing tiddly winks. I’m gonna take a meeting next week with Big Rich. He seems like a reasonable guy, says there’s room in the market. We’ll see. At least it’ll give me a chance to tell him off about the freakin’ HST. Be careful out there. Big Julie But seriously, one question really matters here: is this an appropriate role for government? Coleman’s answer is that B.C. Lottery Corp. is a business. It exists to make money for its four million shareholders. The board of directors decided to spend $325 million to upgrade its network and games, and once they get it working it should be fine. This is the same logic that led to lawyers for that other Crown corporation, BC Ferries, grinding out a chintzy settlement of a thousand bucks or so for passengers who fled the sinking Queen of the North. As Big Julie might say, nothing personal. It’s just business. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Our privileges go to waste Editor: Re: First Nation cultural event marred by dog owners, July 14. Here is another classic example of the ignorance of some dog owners. Some fools make fools of all of us and take away our privileges because of their lack of respect. Why these people feel they and their pets have more rights than us humans that actually make our society viable is beyond me. Are they that pig-headed? I was totally appalled at the lack of respect paid to the First Nations land by these people, especially when the First Nations have allowed them to use this land and turn a blind eye to the misuse in the first place. I have seen these people misuse other areas in our community as well. Maybe names and addresses should be registered if a pet owner would like to use an area. If rules of respect are not followed, a citation should be issued or they should be disallowed from using the area altogether until proven otherwise. Off-leash area doesn’t mean a public toilet. I wonder if they would like other dogs coming on their property and defecating on their lawns on a daily basis and leave it there for them to clean up. Clean up after your pets or stay off public areas. It’s as simple as that. We all do our part, and you should, too. Hopefully our younger generation is not seeing you act in this manner. Patricia Seggie, Surrey

these are popular and apparently acceptable business strategies today. But it surprises that a government would aggressively promote an unhealthy product – gambling – to its people. When the government reports the income from lotteries and casinos, they should balance the books with the loss to players, their citizens.

First we teach, then they teach Editor: My son, who at 26, is fully independent and living away from home, visits every week. These visits are food for my soul. I confess I was sad when he was growing up that he didn’t want to

Today, I’m excited that we share an appreciation of life and how it should be lived. He seems to have gathered from the collective unconscious what it has taken me several years to glean from Deepak Chopra, Don Miguel Ruiz, Ekhart Tolle, Thom Hartmann and Raj Patel etc., that we are in a time of changing values and appreciation of happiness. I know he operates from a place of great integrity and has the wisdom to communicate with a valve that is always open as he gives and receives. He showed this to me as he spoke of his work dealings, where he is known as one who is always positive. “When I’m pleasant and positive to people, it’s like I’m giving them a little push onto the next part of their day and they are doing the same for me.” He more than understands. This important appreciation and understanding of my son came from asking the right questions, questions found in that space where our being resides. Sometimes I think we forget that we are still evolving and that evolution is more rapid than we expect. We are guaranteed to learn from our children but now it seems to me that the lessons have begun in earnest. We should pay attention. J. Field, Surrey

write:

Leaders count on our losses Editor: Gambling is a sick tax. It is widely known that gambling can be addictive and can cause financial ruin, personal and family distress and destruction, and in some cases suicides. How can a sane and ethical government actively promote gambling for a source of revenue when it is known that it can be so harmful to many of its people? Many who have suffered in these ways were persuaded by the slick marketing of lotteries and casinos. Fictional winners on TV jumping to the ceiling in their winning excitement and “Play now and get super rich” are nauseating ads. They do warn, often in barely readable print, to “know your limit and play within it,” and occasionally: “Gambling can lead to financial and legal problems, loss of career and family, and other serious issues.” No kidding! Well cease and desist. They may defend their motives much as the tobacco industry has, but it is wrong. Consumer marketing with tricky labels, shock advertising, small print, hidden charges, brand bullying, price gouging, capturing children’s consumer loyalty…

White Rock councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Land Use and Planning Committee has given the green light to two Official Community Plan amendments that aim to shape the future of two previously contentious areas of the city.

Alex Browne Staff Reporter

How long is long enough to move ahead with a development project? White Rock councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Land Use and Planning Committee has approved extensions for two development permits â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a mixed commercial-residential project at 15577, 15781 and 15785 Marine Drive, and a multi-unit residential development bordered by Goggs Street, Thrift Avenue and Everall Street â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but each for one year only, as opposed to the two years recommended in reports from development services director Paul Stanton. Both projects cited market conditions as a reason for time extensions; in addition, the Marine Drive project has changed owners and a very large unit originally designed as the previous ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residence needs to be divided into two units, with a resulting reconfiguration of all units in the plan. In the GoggsThrift-Everall project, additional time was requested due to financing complications as a result of the recent market decline. In response to council questioning, Stanton acknowledged that there was no set time for extensions, and two years was proposed, as it is the standard permit duration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m tired of seeing these things approved and then they sit there and nothing happens,â&#x20AC;? said Coun. Lynne Sinclair. Sinclair also questioned projects coming to council when financing is not

This motion was defeated again in a four-to-two vote, with Anderson, Meyer, Campbell and Sinclair opposed.

The Crown prosecutor’s office has dropped a charge of breaking and entering against Josh Boden, a 24-year-old Surrey man once considered a top professional football prospect. The charge was stayed July 19, after a review of the evidence, but not reported until now. Boden has been released from custody. The incident that resulted in the charge occurred in Burnaby earlier this month. Boden, a former student at North Vancouver’s Carson Graham secondary, had a troubled upbringing before moving to the Peninsula to play football. He played minor football with the White Rock-South Surrey Titans and later joined the South Surrey Rams of the Canadian Junior Football League. After one season of junior ball, Boden signed with the B.C. Lions as a backup wide receiver. Boden was released by the west coast CFL team after he was charged with domestic assault and robbery in April, 2008. The charges were dropped a few months later when his ex-girlfriend, Kimberly Hallgarth, said she couldn’t remember key details of the assault. Despite the charges being dropped, Boden was released by the Lions. He later joined the Hamilton TigerCats, but was cut after just one game. Hallgarth, a 33-yearold tanning salon owner and single mother, was found murdered in her rented Burnaby home in March 2009.

Corrigan wondered why Surrey was getting preferential treatment. “Why should we pay for one in Burnaby and one in Surrey?” Corrigan said. “It is going to be the breaking point for us.” The Metro Vancouver waste committee scrubbed the reference from the plan it is presenting to the board next week. Coun. Linda Hepner’s assertion is that an agreement is in place. Whether it is an EcoCentre or an RDO, residents of South Surrey and White Rock need a closer place to drop their refuse, she said.

The Zero-Waste Challenge may be a thing of the past, as regional waste directors agree the target is unattainable. Implemented in 2008, the Zero-Waste Challenge encourages the 20 member cities of Metro Vancouver to reduce the amount of garbage headed for landfills. The problem is that some of the cities with the

best practices worldwide are diverting only about 70 per cent of waste, with 80 per cent considered an impossibility. Last week, Burnaby mayor and Metro director Derek Corrigan asked his colleagues on the waste committee to dispose of the Zero-Waste term. “It gives people the impression somehow it can be achieved,” Corrigan said. “It’s that kind of hyperbole that makes politicians

the authors of their own misfortune.” He also said it’s embarrassing using the term in front of international audiences that know the target is impossible. Waste committee chair Greg Moore agreed. “I think there’s some good wisdom in there,” Moore said. Staff will revisit the challenge with the purpose of coming up with a more realistic target.

Ambassador crown up for grabs O

ne of eight 2010 White Rock Ambassadors will be crowned Miss White Rock – or in case the winner is male, Principal Ambassador – at a gala event later this month, officially taking the reigns from 2009 Miss White Rock Robyn Freiheit. The White Rock Youth Ambassador Awards Gala – now in its 53rd year – is scheduled for the Coast Capital Playhouse Friday, July 30 at 7 p.m. Each candidate will be graded on a handful of criteria – highlighted by a personal interview – but some of the competition has already taken place. During a July 6 event, which was also staged at the playhouse, ambassadors were judged in a speech and talent competition, and also presented a community essay – written about a local landmark, festival or event. They were also tested on their community knowledge. “Things are moving along… well on their way,” said program co-ordinator Debbie Ward. “And the gala itself will sort of be in two parts. Our ‘09 team will be retiring and will receive recognition for all the work they’ve done, and of course, the new ambassadors will also be introduced.” With the gala held in conjunction with the Spirt of the Sea Festival, the new ambassadors’ year of duty will begin at the festival’s Torchlight Parade Saturday (July 31). The contestants – along with community sponsors – include:

Crescent Gardens Retirement Community

hen Ray Scorse envisioned his golden years, he never thought he’d end up living in a retirement home. Like many of his peers, the long-time Vancouver resident had always thought of senior living communities as being drab and dismal facilities, geared towards elderly individuals who are unable to care for themselves. But all it took was one visit to Crescent Gardens Retirement Community for the 87-year-old to change his mind, completely. “I really liked it right away! It was just so bright and airy... it definitely wasn’t how I

had imagined it would be,” says the retired electrician during happy hour at the South Surrey retirement residence. It was Scorse’s adult children who discovered Crescent Gardens while his wife was in the hospital for an operation back in 2008. After touring a variety of retirement homes in the Lower Mainland, they decided Crescent Gardens was the perfect fit for their father – and they were right. “I feel really safe and happy here,” says Scorse, as laughter and chatter from residents and staff spills into the spacious and cheery front corridor.

“Everyone is really friendly and always seem to want to help each other. It’s also nice that I can catch a bus to the hospital every five minutes to visit my wife.” Despite living in his own rental suite, Scorse says he is never bored or lonely. “There is always something going on, it’s just like being on a cruise ship. We have happy hour three times a week because we’ve got to keep happy,” he chuckles. Located at 1222 King George Hwy., Crescent Gardens combines the natural beauty of the area the advantages of a modern retirement residence. see page 20

Living the good life at Crescent Gardens from page 19 Walking through the main doors, one will find an open and spacious lounge with large, sunny windows, an inviting fireplace, a grand piano and comfy armchairs and couches. Adjacent to the lounge is the teahouse, where residents can help themselves to refreshments any time of day. Plans for a new state-of-the-art gym are currently underway, which will offer residents the opportunity to keep fit. The community offers a variety of lifestyles including condominium ownership; full service rental suites to multilevel care suites. What puts Crescent Gardens on the map is the large courtyard, a hidden gem located in the middle of the building. Visible from the lounge, tea house and a number of the suites, this beautiful sanctuary is adorned with dozens of spectacular flower planters – maintained by residents in the gardening group – as well as several large trees which provide ample shade should it gets too hot. There are plenty of patio chairs and tables with umbrellas for residents to take in the fresh air and sunshine, and a wooden swing which is a hot spot for residents who want to peacefully read a book or enjoy a cup of tea. In the centre of the courtyard is a large gazebo, complete with electricity for entertainers who perform for the residents at special events. The lush courtyard is often a pleasant surprise for visitors to Crescent

Gardens and is an instant hit with new residents The 110 suites in the four-storey building include full-service rentals (with three meals per day), as well as condominiums where residents can choose to cook for themselves or eat in the dining room. For breakfast, residents can

come to the dining room any time between 8 and 9 a.m. and order whatever they like, or enjoy a continental breakfast, available on the first and second floors for easy access. At dinner, residents are served freshly prepared, nutritious meals such as spinach mushroom salad with stuffed chicken breast with a side of new potatoes and squash. There is certainly no shortage of things to do at Crescent Gardens. A full-time social co-ordinator is on hand to ensure there are always lots of events and activities for the residents to enjoy. From

exercise classes to movie nights on the big screen TV to bus trips to the mall to happy hour three times a week, the social atmosphere is just one aspect that helps residents feel so at home. While Scorse can often be found chatting with friends in the lounge, playing a game of cards or onboard Crescent Garden’s mini bus en route to a popular local hot spot, Ernie Piller prefers to keep to himself in the woodworking room downstairs. “I’m not really too social... I’d much rather just sit down here... I like to be productive,”

Vacations Made You Feel Guilty About Leaving Mom Alone

says the soft spoken 93-yearold Saskatchewan native who moved to Crescent Gardens in 2003. For Piller, it was an easy move. “Three of my sister-in-laws have lived here so I was always very familiar with it,” he says matter-of-factly. Not having to worry about cooking or grocery shopping for one has been a relief, he says. “It’s really nice that I don’t have to cook and that I get all of my meals taken care of for me.” Tanya Anderson, marketing manager of Crescent Gardens, says it is remarkable to see the difference in many of the residents who move in. “We have had a lot of people who come in here who are living on their own and haven’t been eating properly or getting out. Now they are healthy and having a lot of fun. It’s really encouraging to know that at 85 you can still improve your life,” she says. “A lot of people think you come into a retirement community and it’s all down hill, but that is clearly not the case.” While Anderson admits it can be difficult to leave behind a house and in many cases – a partner, she says residents don’t have to give everything up. In fact, she says there is a lot to gain. “Now that you don’t have to spend all your energy on cooking and cleaning, it is time to spend it on activities you enjoy... it is your time to enjoy life and we are here to help!”

Don’t let limited ability limit your workout Exercise is important for all people, including the elderly. Luckily, for Peninsula seniors, opportunities for exercise abounds. From lush trails, recreation centres and fitness classes geared towards the young at heart, there’s certainly no shortage of opportunities to stay fit. Yet, seniors who have limited mobility or are confined to a wheelchair may think they couldn’t possibly exercise. However, there are many things one can do to stay in shape – all while sitting down. Doctors recommend at least 30 minutes of daily exercise for most people. Exercise is beneficial for seniors because it keeps muscles from atrophying, improves mental alertness, strengthens bones, and leads to a healthier metabolism, among other things. For seniors who think they won’t be able to handle traditional exercise, chair exercises or modified pilates can be

strenuous may want to add very light weights to the equation for more resistance. Two or five pound weights are all that’s needed to give muscles even more of a workout.

Exercising in a chair is an effective way to stay in shape. effective, even for those with trouble walking or standing for extended periods of time. To get started, all one needs is some loose-fitting clothing and a chair. Begin by doing some stretching movements of the neck, arms and legs. Rotate the head left and right and in circles to stretch the neck and back muscles. Lift arms over the head and slowly drop down to the sides of the body to stretch arms and back muscles. Lift and lower the legs a few times to warm them up. To begin exercises, start slowly and gradually

build up repetitions. Exercises to try include boxing or punching into the air, arm circles, and arm curls. For the legs, work the back and front of the legs. Kick the legs out in front of the body several times. Hold legs parallel to the floor (as much as possible) and do leg crosses. Put feet flat on the floor and lift up the heels. Keep feet on the floor and push down to work the buttocks and the top of the thighs. Individuals who have mastered these exercises and have been told by a doctor that it is okay to do something a bit more

The English Manor

What are Cataracts? A cataract forms when the lens of the eye becomes cloudy. The lens is responsible for focusing light onto the retina. The reason for cloudiness could be due to protein changes in the lens. With nuclear cataracts, the most common kind of cataract, the inside of the lens is affected. In cortical cataracts, the outside of the lens is affected. Cataracts grow quite slowly, meaning it can be years before they impact vision significantly. While they are often found in the elderly and progress as one ages, babies can be born with cataracts (known as congenital cataracts). Cataracts can be the result of steroid use. Also, younger adults can experience cataracts from systemic illnesses, like diabetes. Cataracts may also form in smokers. Doctors say that not smoking can greatly reduce the risk for nuclear cataracts. Research indicates that

Cataracts form when the lens of the eye becomes cloudy. women are at a higher risk for cataracts than men. It could be because cataracts develop more pronounced as individuals age. Women generally live longer than men.

Cataract Symptoms Symptoms of cataracts include blurred vision, dulled colors, appearance of halos around bright lights at night, and the need for brighter light when reading. Symptoms of cataracts cannot be remedied with reading glasses or other prescriptions.

Treatment for Cataracts The most common treatment for cataracts that cause considerable vision impairment is surgery. A cataract will be removed only if it

interferes with vision enough to prevent a person from driving, reading or doing other essential activities. A “ripe” cataract can be extracted by an eye surgeon in a routine surgery. If cataracts are present in both eyes, surgery will be performed one at a time. The procedure is called phacoemulsification, or phaco. An eye surgeon will make a small incision into the side of the cornea. A probe is inserted where ultrasound waves will gradually break up the cloudy cataract. A suction then removes the pieces. Recovery time varies among patients but could be a week or two. The eye will be covered with a protective wrap for a few days. Eye

the scene …on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Written by A. Marriott and A. Foot, and directed by RCTC founder Ellie King, the play follows the increasingly desperate efforts of a young married couple and their nerdy bank clerk friend to dispose of an unwanted shipment of Scandinavian pornography. Keeping the offending materials away from a nosy mother, a pompous bank manager, an officious police inspector and a fussy bank examiner seems bad enough – and then some ‘good time’ girls arrive on the doorstep. For tickets call 604-501-5566 or visit www. arts.surrey.ca or www.rctheatreco.com

White Rock buskers Two well-known youth performers – South Surrey Celtic fiddler Kierah Raymond, 15, and Cloverdale crooner Joe Given, 18 – and award-winning storytellersinger Max Tell, are among the performers who can be seen enriching White Rock’s cultural landscape on street corners until Oct. 31 this year as some of the first holders of the city’s new busking licence. 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). More than 15 licences have been issued so far as a result of an audition process; and the city is inviting more performance artists to audition between Aug. 3 and 16 (performers of all ages who wish to apply can review the busking guidelines at www.city.whiterock.bc.ca and schedule an audition through White Rock Leisure Services). The seasonal licences are $20. “The buskers are not paid by the city,” Coun. Helen Fathers, council liaison to the city’s cultural committee, explained. “They buy the licence and then it’s up to us – the people watching the shows – to thank them for their efforts. The more the community gives, the more performances we’ll all enjoy.”

Coffee House returns The Crescent Moon Coffee House is back at its home at Kwomais Point Park (formerly Camp Kwomais), at 1367 128 St., every Thursday at 8 p.m. The coffee house, a Peninsula tradition dating back to 1979, began as a music therapy program, evolved into a community meeting place for musicians and music lovers, and has been the debut venue for many well-known local performers. All are welcome and admission is $5.

Trad jazz The sounds of swinging Dixieland – courtesy of Rice Honeywell’s Red Beans and Rice Jazz Band – continue through the spring and summer every Sunday (3-6 p.m.) up to Aug. 22, barring statutory holidays, at the Royal Canadian Legion Crescent Branch 240, 2643 128 St. Admission with White Rock Traditional Jazz Society membership is $8, without membership, $10. The society’s regular schedule of Sunday sessions, rotating Red Beans and Rice with other Lower Mainland traditional jazz groups, resumes in September (for details, visit www.whiterocktradjazz.com).

German choir Lovers of choral music will have a treat direct from Germany this week, when the Hahnheim Mannerchor performs in concert July 30, 7:30 p.m. at Good Shepherd Church, 2250 150 St. While the group is principally a men’s choir, it is also bringing along its new mixed choir branch, Sound of Joy, as part of its North American tour. The concert is hosted by Good Shepherd’s Stella Maris choir, directed by Trudi Stammer, which toured Germany last year, and will be performing some opening songs. The concert will confirm what members of Stella Maris already learned: Hahnheim, near the city of Mainz on the Rhine, may be a vineyard village of some 1,700 inhabitants – but it’s also a highly musical corner of the world. The Mannerchor (or men’s choir), directed by Klaus Boxheimer since 2006, has been a cultural tradition since 1880. Long recognized for its high artistic standing, it has been named a Meisterchor (or master choir, the highest award from the German Choral Society for nonprofessional choirs) five times; in 1982, 1987, 1991, 2001 and 2007. Some 45 members strong when not on the road, the Mannerchor specializes in traditional folk songs of the Rhine Valley, plus modern songs, hymns, spirituals and folk songs of other cultures, while Sound of Joy, formed in 2009 focuses on popular and gospel songs and spirituals. For more information, call 604-531-5739.

No Sex, Please... The saucy farce No Sex, Please, We’re British, presented by The Royal Canadian Theatre Company, continues until Aug. 1 at Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd.

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 1-877-739-0559.

Peninsula athletes help Fraser Valley zone to second-place finish at Summer Games

Rugby, track lead Games’ medal count Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Peninsula athletes shone on the province’s biggest stage last weekend, with medal-winning performances in numerous sports at the B.C. Summer Games. Leading the charge at the fourday Games – which was hosted by the Township of Langley – were a handful of track-and-field stars, as well as both the Zone 3 (Fraser Valley) baseball and rugby teams, which also featured local players. On the track, Kathryn Van Ryswyk won silver in girls 80-metre hurdles and bronze in the 100-m sprint; Robby Kang was third in boys shot put; Brandon Figueroa was third in 1,500-m steeplechase; Ben Ingvaldson won bronze in hammer throw; Allison Williams nabbed two medals, silver in 300-m and bronze in 800; and Meghan Palesch won gold in girls pentathlon. Rounding out the track-and-field medal haul was Taylor Neveu. The 14-year-old South Surrey resident – who also played ringette in the B.C. Winter Games earlier this year – finished the weekend with a silver medal in the high jump, clearing the bar at 1.5m. Zone 3’s boys rugby team, coached by Earl Marriott Secondary coach Adam Roberts, rolled through the Games undefeated, going 6-0 en route to capturing the gold medal. They defeated Vancouver Island-Central Coast 21-5 in the gold-medal game. Peninsula talents on the Zone 3 Fraser Valley side included Carson Burgin, Nicolas Collett, Gordon Dobson, Nico Docolas, Bryan Reddie and Nick Wright. Aside from Roberts, the coaching staff also included locals Neil McLagan,

Top spot was captured by Fraser River Delta, and the ThompsonOkanagan finished second. In the pool, White Rock and South Surrey swimmers and divers also fared well, led by 12-year-old Mason Lin. Lin, a Pacific Sea Wolves Swim Club member, swam to a gold medal in the 400-m individual medley, clocking a time of five minutes, 8.2 seconds. The other Surrey resident to make the podium was Regina Chan, who scooped

won a pair of silver medals, in boys’ one- and three-metre divisions. Ellen De Crom won bronze on the threemetre board, and Alex

Davies picked up gold on the boys’ one-metre. Right behind Davies was Nathan Jacobs, in second. Davies and Jacobs also finished 1-2 on the three-metre

diving board. “We did really well – it was great,” said Bev Boys, who coaches many of the divers at White Rock Divers and was an official at the Games. “There were some podiums in there, but also a lot of fourth- and fifth-place finishes. And some of these guys haven’t really been diving that long, so this was great for them.” Fraser Valley’s field lacrosse team, which included Jalen Sekhon, also made the podium, claiming a gold medal. Overall, the Vancouver IslandCentral Coast team placed first at the Games, with 170 medals. The Fraser Valley was second with 167, but had more gold medals than the overall champs – 77 to 61.

Against Big Kahuna, the Nanaimo-based Raiders – the defending Canadian Junior Football League champs – jumped out to an early lead on home turf and never let up, eventually going home with a 37-13 victory. The Raiders got on the board in the first quarter, when Mike Schaper hauled in a touchdown pass from quarterback Jordan Yantz – one of five TDs the pivot threw on the day – and led 16-0 by halftime. The Rams got on the board in the third quarter – when rookie quarterback Nathaniel White connected with Everad Jackson for a 15-yard score – but had another score called back on a penalty, which opened the door for Vancouver Island to extend its lead. Nick Downey had the Rams’ other touchdown, scoring on a

Rams’ Matt Chapdelaine is hauled down by a trio of Raiders. 65-yard run late in the fourth quarter. Downey finished with 80 yards rushing, while Griffin Bullock, with four receptions for 73 yards, and Matt Chapdelaine, three catches for 49 yards, were the team’s top pass-catchers. Though the Rams are trying to work several new players into the offence – including White, at quarterback – the offence still managed to tally 252 total yards, but it was the team’s defence that struggled against the Raiders’

attack. The Raiders finished with 497 yards of total offence, with 398 of those yards coming from Yantz. “The plays that we knew would work actually worked ... We knew everything they were going to do,” said Schaper, who finished with 115 yards receiving and two TDs. The Rams will look to even their record this Saturday in Kelowna, against the Okanagan Sun. – with files from Nanaimo NewsBulletin

NICHOL, Mike, beloved husband, father, grandad and great grandad, passed away, peacefully in the early hours of July 16th, 2010 with his family at his side. The most important thing to Mike was his family. Next was his love of music. He was very talented, played many instruments, had a beautiful singing voice and shared this passion with everyone. He entertained at many functions, gave joy to folks at nursing and retirement homes. Mike instilled his love of music to his family who joined him entertaining at many events through the years. Mike was born in Buchanan, Saskatchewan December 1st, 1922. At the age of 18 he joined the Canadian Army where he served his country overseas. While in England he met and fell in love with is future wife of 64 years, Violet (Vi). They settled in Creston, B.C. where they raised their children Russ, Sally and Judy. On his retirement in 1985 from his job at Creston School District 86 Mike and Vi moved to White Rock to be closer to the children. His involvement in community , music groups continued. He will be forever loved and deeply missed by family and friends in Canada and England. In keeping with his wishes, a private family service was held July 19th. Donations in his memory to the Heart & Stroke Foundation would be greatly appreciated. Singing with the angels & at peace with his parents, sisters & grandson Michael. “Happy Trails To You Until We meet Again”
