❝One of the big questions we have on our mind is, was there one, two, three or four shooters?❞

Man gunned down at Morgan home Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A 32-year-old South Surrey man is dead following what police are describing as a targeted shooting early Sunday morning.

“This wasn’t an incident where somebody was shooting randomly down the street,” Cpl. Dale Carr, spokesman for the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, said Monday.

“It was a case of he was sought out and shot.”

Police and emergency crews responded to the 3779 156 St. at approximately 12:30 a.m. May 16, after neighbours reported hearing shots fired.

They found the victim, Chhminder Gill, with multiple gunshot wounds inside the garage of his Morgan Creek home. Despite 40 minutes of resuscitation efforts, Gill was pronounced dead at the scene.

“He was in severe medical distress,” Carr said.

Carr would not confirm Gill as the victim, but did say investigation has determined the deceased was shot as he returned to his home after speaking with a family member on the street in front of the house.

While neighbours have reported hearing six or seven gunshots, Carr said it remains unclear exactly how many shots were fired, and by how many shooters.

“There’s a great number of shots that were fired,” he said.

“One of the big questions we have on our mind is, was there one, two, three or four shooters?”

Officers cordon off a Morgan Creek neighbourhood Sunday after a resident was hit by “a great number of shots” and was found dying in his garage.

The scene – less than three blocks from Rosemary Heights Elementary – was taped off for a quarterblock in each direction while officers investigated and police can-

vassed the neighbourhood looking for witnesses. The home remained secured earlier this week, as members of the forensic identification team went through the garage

“with a fine-tooth comb” in an attempt to determine exactly how the shooting played out.

“We’ll let the facts and the evidence that are right there tell us the

story,” Carr said.

Carr said police have spoken to the family member who was with the victim just before the shooting, see page 4

Man died after RCMP called to his Crescent Road home in 2008

Inquest hears of constable’s struggle with resident Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Jayne Stewart feared for her life the night she struggled with David James Stitt.

Forty-six-year-old Stitt – who died two years ago after an altercation with the Surrey RCMP constable outside Stitt’s Crescent Road home – was circling her, fists up.

Stitt didn’t respond to Stewart’s orders to

get down, didn’t respond to pepper spray and didn’t respond when she struck him in the leg with her baton, Stewart told coroner Jeff Dolan yesterday (Tuesday), during the first day of a three-day inquest into Stitt’s death.

“I said, ‘Get on the ground, get on the ground,’” Stewart said.

“I had called for help twice already: ‘I need

help now, get me help now.’ I didn’t hear anything.”

Stewart had been called to the 13600-block of Crescent Road around 11:30 p.m. June 17, 2008 after a neighbour reported a disturbance.

Richard Dilworth told the Burnaby court he called 911 after noticing a commotion coming from his neighbour’s yard. He said

he heard a dog yelping, and when he looked outside, could see an agitated man “carrying on, talking to himself, angry and upset.”

The man was banging on his house, and broke a window with a stick, Dilworth said.

Not sure if someone was trying to break in, Dilworth called 911 and described a person who “didn’t seem to be in their right mind,” see page 4

Engineering staff hope to increase parking turnover

City expands pay parking Kevin Diakiw Black Press

If you’re considering driving to areas of South Surrey or Newton or City Centre, plan to bring some change for a parking meter.

On Monday night, Surrey council endorsed the installation of several parking meters in areas such as 17 Avenue near Semiahmoo Town Centre, and City Parkway and 107A Avenue.

Meters have already been installed at Marine Drive and 8 Avenue, 94A Avenue and 138 Street, City Parkway, and City Parkway/Gateway Drive and 108 Avenue.

Businesses expressed concern over loss of customers due to the new installations.

To mitigate some of the concerns, one in 10 of the parking spots will have 15 minutes of free parking.

Council endorsed the use of $360,000 from the Legacy Fund to pay for the installation of meters.

“As the pay parking program in Surrey grows, it is expected that the program will have sufficient net revenues to fund the purchase of additional pay parking stations without the use of the Legacy Fund,” the corporate report to council states.

“The revenue stream from the pay parking stations that are already in operation will allow repayment of the loan for the initial 25 parking stations within 18 months.

“Once the pay parking station debt is retired, net revenues will be invested in expanding the parking

City staff say they will continue to look for pay-parking opportunities based on the following criteria: • Areas with high parking demand and where parking turnover is important; • Areas with limited on-street parking and high short-term parking demand; • Locations with fronting retail/commercial businesses; • Locations in close proximity to high-density residential and office developments;

• Recreational areas with high parking demand.

The vote on council was unanimous.

Coun. Barinder Rasode said she understands the public frustration with parking meters and says they will be judiciously placed.

“In terms of businesses and regulating parking for those businesses, it works better,” Rasode said.

news 26 property owners voiced opposition to bylaw renewal

White Rock BIA gets council’s blessing Alex Browne Staff Reporter

White Rock council has approved a bylaw renewing the White Rock Business Improvement Association, even though it heard that a proportion of property owners affected are against it.

In a unanimous vote at Monday evening’s meeting, council endorsed bylaw 1877, which establishes and designates a business improvement area in the city in accordance with the Community Charter.

A report from city clerk Tracey Arthur noted that 26 property owners – representing a total assessed value of land and improvements of $29,298,000 – had submitted

individual petitions opposing the bylaw and the local service tax it imposes on the properties.

But Arthur said this was not enough to halt the bylaw – Community Charter standards call for opposition to represent at least 50 per cent of the parcels, and 50 per cent of the assessed land and improvements; which would have amounted to 130 parcels with assessed values totalling $98,570,551.

Council – in keeping with an earlier decision – is renewing the BIA for one year only, after which it plans to review the effectiveness of the organization before considering renewal for a longer term.

The meeting was not without

comment from long-term BIA critics Larry Anschell and Johan Sandstrom, who last summer registered themselves and others as the directors of record in Victoria.

During question period at the start of Monday’s meeting, Anschell and Sandstrom had sought assurances that council would act to make sure BIA funds would not be used to pay legal bills for a recent B.C. Supreme Court case in which they were defendants.

In the case – in which former BIA president Bill Lawrence had sought to prevent Anschell, Sandstrom and others from representing themselves as the BIA board – Justice Robert Crawford issued a court order calling for both sides to

work together to elect a new board to settle the contentious dispute.

Anschell said the BIA had been billed $17,000 two days before the March 31 election for legal costs for what he termed “the frivolous court case.”

City manager Peggy Clark said legal and accounting costs are included in the BIA’s annual budgets, and that outstanding debts could be brought forward in the legal and accounting portion of the budget.

Before the vote on the bylaw, Coun. Lynne Sinclair asked whether a provision allowing a deficit of up to $25,000 to be brought forward to the BIA’s 2010-2011 budget could be used to pay off legal debt.

Clark said this provision could only be used for the BIA’s business promotion scheme.

Sinclair told Peace Arch News following the meeting she is satisfied the requirements of the current bylaw would ensure legal costs would come out of the right portion of the BIA’s budget, without the city having to step in.

Mayor Catherine Ferguson noted Tuesday council supports the new board and its initiatives.

“To our knowledge, the last time we audited the BIA books, (general) funds had not been used for legal costs,” Ferguson said.

“They haven’t been audited since the court case, but they are audited each year and will be again.”

Brandon McKinley’s legs may be too short to reach the pedals of Daniel Smith’s 22-wheel Rona semi-truck, but that didn’t stop the Grade 1 student – nor his Star of the Sea Elementary classmates – from climbing behind the wheel for a few minutes Tuesday morning. Smith was at the school to teach students about the workplace.

An 18-year-old Surrey man has been charged with assault causing bodily harm after a White Rock RCMP officer was attacked on West Beach Friday.

Const. Janelle Shoihet said two officers responded to a report of a fight between 15 youths near the white rock at around 9 p.m., and observed one 18-year-old Surrey man punching the other in the face.

Shoihet said one officer pulled the assailant off the victim, and was attempting to handcuff him, when the victim attacked the officer and put him in a chokehold from behind. “(The officer) almost passed out because of it,” she said.

“Luckily, his partner was with him, and his partner was working to get the young man off his back. (He) was pulling as best he could to get him off, but (the attacker) had such a good hold on (the officer’s) neck, it was hard.”

After a brief struggle, the officers restrained the attacker.

The officer was treated in hospital for minor injuries, and released that evening, Shoihet said. He has since returned to active duty.

Two men were arrested. One was charged and released on a promise to appear; the other was released without charges.

City manager says contracting out would likely have been for 20-year term

Fire decision comes with kudos and questions Alex Browne Staff Reporter

White Rock council Monday stood by its decision not to back a shared services agreement with the Surrey Fire Department.

Mayor Catherine Ferguson applauded council for “choosing safety above money.”

But the regular council meeting also included several questions from a resident who had opposed consideration of the plan.

Ferguson had commended council for “having the courage to take a look at this and bring it forward,” and for making public three reports used in making the decision.

Since most of the White Rock Fire Rescue Service’s calls are firstresponse, first-aid calls, council had decided that an edge the city department had over Surrey’s proposal in responding during the first two minutes of an emergency was the paramount consideration.

One of the reports, currently available on the city’s website, spells out the potential savings – estimated at between $820,000 and $1 million per year – of a shared fire services agreement with Surrey.

“This is the first time (such a study) has been done,” Ferguson said. “It’s the first time the public has received information on what

the cost savings would be.”

Harold Kiesewetter – a vehement critic of council’s examination of the issue – presented a series of questions at the beginning of the meeting.

Among things he wanted to know was whether a figure of potential savings of $22 million over 20 years implies that Surrey would have “locked in” a 20-year agreement. He also wanted to know if there would have been savings after five years and how much they would have amounted to.

City manager Peggy Clark responded that a contract with Surrey Fire Department had not been

negotiated, but if it had proceeded, it would probably have been for 20 years or a similar term.

“At an estimated $820,000 to $1 million savings per year, the savings in the first five years would have been a little over $5 million,” she said.

Kiesewetter asked what the costs to staff had been for the study, whether that was outside of the $60,000 spent on the three reports, and whether details of Surrey’s proposal would be made public.

“The cost to staff was primarily my staff time,” Clark said. “That wasn’t included.”

Clark said basic details of the

Surrey proposal had been made public, but Ferguson later said any further release of information on Surrey’s proposal would have to be subject to discussion with Surrey fire Chief Len Garis.

On a related safety theme, Kiesewetter asked if White Rock RCMP’s staff sergeant would be polling members on the effectiveness of the current arrangement in which White Rock dispatch services are now being handled by the Surrey detachment.

Clark said performance standards of the transition would be reviewed and would be part of the quarterly RCMP reports to council.

More than 100 to be interviewed from page 1 and that person is co-operating with investigators. Carr expects officers will interview more than 100 area residents in the course of the investigation.

While a dark-coloured vehicle was seen leaving the area, Carr said it is unclear if the vehicle is linked to the crime.

As well, police have not established any links to drugs or gangs, “but we’re still poring through and digging through information and that may change in the coming days,” he said.

As of Monday afternoon, police had no suspects.

According to neighbours, the victim was married and had two children, and had moved to the area in the past year.

A search of corporate records indicates Chhminder Gill had ties to an Abbotsford berry farm.

He is listed as the sole director of Sumas Valley Berry Farm Ltd., a 160-acre blueberry operation at 2825 Inter-Provincial Hwy.

He is also listed as the director of Lakha Enterprise in Coquitlam, but no further details of that business could be found.

Gill is also registered as the owner of the home where the shooting took place, along with Jasvir Kaur Gill. Both list their occupations as farmers.

South Surrey neighbour Raj Issar told CTV News he knew the victim and his family casually.

“I know they are nice people, to be frank,” Issar said. “I just had casual encounters with them and they seemed very, very nice.”

By Monday evening, an online

memorial page had been set up on Facebook.

At press time, the site – “RIP Chhminder (Shinda) Gill” – included one photograph of Gill on a motorcycle.

“You were a wonderful person who touched many people’s lives,” the site said. “You were such a caring soul and had such a big heart. You always knew how to make people laugh.”

The shooting marks the second time in eight months that gunfire has rocked the affluent residential area. Sept. 16, shots rang out in the 15600-block of 33A Avenue – a stone’s throw from Morgan Elementary.

In that incident, no one was injured in the hail of gunfire, but police found five bullet holes in the chimney of a home. A handgun was recovered the next morning near the school.

An autopsy on the victim of Sunday’s shooting was scheduled for Tuesday.

news Waterfront patrol on the lookout for troublemakers

FRESH SALAD GREENS HARVESTED WHILE YOU WAIT.

No tolerance along tracks Tracy Holmes

OPEN EVERY SATURDAY 10 A.M. - 3 P.M.

Staff Reporter

An effort to curb summertime trouble along the waterfront is back on the tracks.

The hi-rail program – in which police and other officials patrol the waterfront in a rail-equipped truck – is an initiative of the CN Police, RCMP and Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway.

In operation for several years now, it has proved an effective tool in addressing inappropriate and illegal behaviour – from bylaw violations to criminal acts – that tends to increase with the arrival of warmer weather.

“We’ve had a lot of success with enforcement,” said CN Police Const. Marek Goluch.

The patrol stretches from the border to McBride Avenue in Crescent Beach, and runs on a regular basis through September.

While its primary focus is to preserve the peace and prevent offences, the patrol also provides officers an opportunity to educate tourists and residents as to what is both allowed and safe.

As well, the rail-equipped truck enables access to areas that are otherwise isolated from authorities.

Beach fires, drinking in public and trespassing are common warm-weather problems the hirail helps police curb.

Air traffic noise battle not over Surrey council is heading to Toronto en masse this month to make a pitch for quieter skies.

Council members are going to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) convention in support of a resolution to cut down on air traffic noise.

Air traffic became an issue three years ago on the Semiahmoo Peninsula, when NAV Canada authorized some pilot discretion, which resulted in re-routing of traffic over residential areas of Surrey. People living in Crescent Beach and Ocean Park were angered over increased noise as decibel levels climbed beyond what some could accept.

If the lobby effort is successful, NAV Canada would be required to undertake a public consultation process and environmental studies before any route changes could be implemented.

The FCM runs from May 28 to June 1.

Police are patrolling the waterfront for inappropriate behaviour.

People throwing rocks and bottles at trains is also causing concern, Goluch said. He noted two such incidents occurred during the Olympics, in which train windows were broken by people throwing rocks from the area of Semiahmoo Park. Fortunately, no one was injured. Unfortunately, the perpetrators were not caught.

There is no tolerance for the conduct, Goluch said, noting three people ‘earned’ criminal records for the behaviour last year.

“It’s a very dangerous practice. We’ve also had (the thrown objects) bounce back and hit people,” he said. “If you’re throwing stuff at a train, you’re going to get a criminal record out of it.”

Goluch, who is in his third year with the program, noted

those caught shirking liquor laws can expect to pay more for the offence, thanks to an increase in the fines associated with related activities. For example, those caught consuming alcohol in public can expect a $230 fine, up from $115. Being intoxicated in public warrants a $115 fine, up from $58.

Last year – through the hi-rail program and several CN Police projects between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31 – 339 warnings were issued and 37 charges laid, Goluch said.

South Surrey RCMP Const.

Kenn Meglic said the program “absolutely” proves its worth.

Patrols this year began in April, and got underway officially this month. They will be conducted at least once a month.

opinion Peace Arch News Published at White Rock by Black Press Ltd.

editorial

Proposal worth considering

A

proposal by a backbench Conservative MP in Ottawa is one the general public – and MPs of all parties – should embrace.

Ontario MP Michael Chong has proposed a motion that goes into some detail about how to make Question Period in the House of Commons more relevant and, most importantly, far more civil and respectful of cabinet ministers’ time.

It’s a proposal that will resonate with every Canadian who has ever watched the absurdity that Question Period has become.

While based on the Prime Minister’s Questions period in British Parliament – historically acrimonious, but, surprisingly, only a 50-year tradition as a scheduled weekly occurrence – the Canadian Question Period veers into chaos all the more because it has been established as a daily practice, one which puts all ministers, and not just the Prime Minister, in the hot seat.

It has become that point in every parliamentary day where MPs do their best to pose embarrassing questions to ministers. This, in itself, is not bad – ministers should, after all, be accountable for their departments.

But the whole exercise is theatre, complete with shouting, catcalls and a lack of decorum from MPs. It’s a grandstanding travesty that has been encouraged by both adept questioner and nimble questionee alike, and particularly since proceedings became televised.

Failing an unlikely return to the British way of doing things, Chong’s proposals would probably result in the greatest improvement of Question Period since rules were established in 1964.

He has proposed that the time allotted for questions be longer – up to 90 seconds, from the current 35-second limit. He also suggested specific ministers be prepared to field questions on specific days, so most members of cabinet don’t have to spend up to 3½ hours per day away from other important more duties, simply prepping for any questions that may be asked.

Amongst many other proposals, Chong suggests backbench MPs be recognized by the Speaker – once far more powerful in determining in the form of proceedings – to pose questions, rather than simply be placed on a list by party house leaders. This would make Question Period far more democratic, and allow MPs to pose questions more relevant to their constituents than the partisan actions of those out to embarrass or defend the government.

The main point of government should be to get things done, and any reform of Question Period that would make it more than just a theatrical performance would be a big step forward.

B.C. Hydro’s forecast is brighter in part because the Peace River system, which is less affected by Pacific weather, has 80 to 90 per cent of normal snowpack.

This is the backdrop for the debate about proceeding with the Site C dam on the Peace, which the B.C. government intends to be its last big dam. Its capacity would increase the ability of B.C. Hydro to manage a range of intermittent sources, from wind farms to waste wood to run-of-river power.

This is proposed to provide enough power for B.C.’s winter peak and to sell power south, where demand peaks in summer.

And of course, there is the unique engineering opportunity where Site C would produce a third as much electricity as the W.A.C. Bennett Dam with a reservoir one 20th the size.

Is there a long-term trend toward warmer, drier weather in B.C.? Pine and spruce beetle outbreaks across the Interior certainly suggests that there is, and so does the northward shift of cedar growth along the coast.

What about the increasingly acrimonious debate about greenhouse gas emissions, and their implications for the cost of fossil fuel power? With or without carbon-trading schemes, North America is looking for cleaner energy and billions are still being bet on electric vehicles.

It’s something to ponder this hot summer.

A fair, just and caring society Editor: Re: An erosion of literacy services, May 7 letters.

It is very shameful of our Surrey Liberal MLAs that they keep eroding our Surrey schools.

There have been numerous reports telling us how funding has not kept up for the last several years while the number of students has consistently increased. This directly affects the quality of education our children get on a daily basis and will influence what kind of society we want to have in B.C. I talked to teachers in the schools where my children go in White Rock. They are very disappointed with this government’s school funding don’t-care policy.

Most people I talk to wonder why our Liberal MLAs don’t stand up for what is right for their riding’s children. They gave $100 million per year tax cut in this budget to large corporations and banks – who are already making billions in profit – where our children have to lose a classroom for music because there is no funding available after the implementation of full-day kindergarten.

At the end of the day, do the MLAs really feel proud in their heart of what they are doing in the legislature for the children in their riding? We all know what the answer is, what their smile and speeches can’t hide.

We appeal to these MLAs to read Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela, because they have shown us how to dream for a fair, just and caring society and become a better human being while being honest to ourselves.

Most of western Europe is following it and has a much better education system for you to do research on. You are in the best position now to take our society forward and be proud of what you did, for the rest of your life.

I appeal to my fellow citizens and parents to call your local MLA – locally they are Gordon Hogg, Kevin Falcon, Stephanie Cadieux and Dave Hayer – to express your dissatisfaction with school funding.

That’s the only way we can bring some change for the better.

Human rights trampled on Editor: Re: “Officers thanked,” April 16.

I’ve received compassionate treatment by RCMP in the past, which I, for the most part, very much appreciate. However, there are some elements within the law-enforcement community – especially with Emergency Response Teams – which have much to be desired when it comes down to human rights.

In regards to ERT, the members storm into suspects’ homes,

screaming with automatic machine and handguns drawn, at the occupants, all of whom, including infants, can be permanently traumatized from the experience.

Note: the suspects have yet to even be charged. Also note: on some occasions, these team members force their way into the wrong home altogether!

I’m convinced some of these – mostly men – get into that field for the sheer power-trip of it all.

Frank G. Sterle, Jr., White Rock

Shake, rattle and try to roll Editor: White Rock is finally making progress to remain “on the map.”

For years, it has been promoting itself as a cozy, sleepy, laid-back village/town/city by the sea.

That slogan was losing ground, with the arrival of stoplights, highrises and parking meters.

However, the movers and shakers at city hall have obviously come up with a brand new wrinkle.

I refer, of course, to the marvellous “rumble strip” on 16 Avenue stretching from Anderson to Best streets.

Have you not noticed this great novelty? This strip of pavement is about three feet wide and zigzags enough to cover both lanes on the White Rock side – even infringing a bit on Surrey’s half in a few places.

I believe this was accomplished by telling the contractor not to level the newly installed sewer pipe covering or make it smooth, as is often done in other cities. I’m sure they simply asked them to let the pavement fall, and it would find its own gravitational level – two or three inches higher or lower than the rest of the roadbed.

My first encounter with “the strip”

made the car rattle and my teeth shake.

I wondered, what was the reason for leaving work in this unfinished condition? Then I figured it out!

Anyone entering White Rock from 152 Street would immediately know they were in White Rock if they turned left or right on 16 Avenue.

It’s impossible to miss it!

Not only would it be good for “uptown” business, but local residents coming in from Ocean Park or Crescent Beach might wish to take Marine Drive instead of 16 Avenue. Think of the business this could create for the merchants there who are having problems surviving.

What a stroke of genius for such promotion of the city. I believe the person who came up with this phenomenal and original idea should receive keys to the city.

Bravo White Rock, you have now entered the era of shake, rattle and roll – not to be missed or forgotten.

An anti-HST crowd gathers in Vancouver last September, prior to Bill Vander Zalm’s petition crossing the province.

Questionable claims in HST debate Editor: Re: Divided over HST opinions, May 7 letters.

In his letter defending the HST, Bill Phelps repeats the misinformation offered by the deceitful B.C. Liberals to justify moving more than $1.8 billion of tax each year from large corporations to the general tax-paying public.

In addition to this highly political “tax-shift” from the hidden paymasters of this bunch of discredited politicians, both the provincial and federal governments decided to grab a further $500 million per year in taxes.

Phelps describes all of this massive load of general taxation as simply “paying on some things we didn’t pay on before.” He can certainly say that again.

Further, his weak attempt to distract attention by focusing on the small amount, $30 million, saved in tax administration is really just a payroll transfer to Ottawa.

Carole Taylor, who was B.C. finance minister for three years, knows a lot more about the reality of this type of tax after listening to the special pleadings from the B.C. business community. She vigorously rejected this move to shift these huge amounts from the few who can afford to pay onto the many who cannot.

It can only be hoped this powerful lady will once again play an honourable role in bringing integrity back to B.C. politics.

In a real democracy, politicians act on behalf of all the citizens, not just their friends and supporters.

Herbert Spencer, Surrey

Editor: So Elections BC is thwarting the government by not allowing a brochure to be distributed giving the government explanation of the HST while the falsities in the petition information stands – falsities blithely explained away by Bill Vander Zalm as honest mistakes.

This implied support by Elections BC for the petition again mocks the supposedly “independent” nature of that organization.

For the electoral reform referendum of the last election, another body was set up to dispense “neutral” information – the Referendum Information Office (RIO).

That office was totally biased in favour of STV, publishing on its website at least nine major falsities that favoured STV. Despite protests by locals such as me, accurate information received from Dr. James Gilmour in Scotland – a world renowned expert on STV – and at least one protest from an interested person in Manitoba, the RIO stiff-armed everyone and changed not a syllable of its incorrect information.

However, the RIO did not – maybe lack of budget – mail out a brochure province wide. But enter stage left Elections BC who did have a brochure going out. So conveniently the Elections BC brochure – mailed to every household – repeated dutifully some of the false and pro-STV material from the RIO. Elections BC an “independent” organization? Hardly!

VICTORIA – Organizers of a voter initiative petition to scrap B.C.’s harmonized sales tax say they have enough signatures in all but seven constituencies, and nearly 500,000 supporters in total.

With seven weeks still to go until the deadline, Fight HST spokesman Chris Delaney said Monday he expects to reach his goal of 15 per cent of registered voters in all 85 constituencies by mid-June. Elections BC requires 10 per cent in each constituency to sign on by July 5, and petition organizers set a higher target because some who sign may not be eligible.

The protest group headed by Delaney and former premier Bill Vander Zalm quickly got enough signatures in areas bordering Alberta, where there is no provincial sales tax.

Urban areas, both NDP and B.C. Liberal seats, have been slower to support the petition.

Canvassers started later in Vancouver, Richmond and Burnaby, but they are quickly gathering signatures now, Delaney said.

Finance Minister Colin Hansen responded Monday to Vander Zalm’s criticism of a partial list posted to his ministry website of goods and services that will be subject to the 12 per cent HST on July 1. Vander Zalm noted that many services that escape the current seven-percent provincial sales tax but will be subject to HST are not listed.

These include catering, computer repairs, commercial leases, fishing charters, home appraisals, investment counseling, skiing and parking fees.

Hansen said the B.C. list is more detailed than a similar one posted by the Ontario government, which is also bringing in HST. But neither list attempts to be exhaustive, he said, because if the province tried to do that, “someone’s going to find some little widget that we didn’t include.”

Hansen’s office also released a letter Friday in which B.C.’s Chief Electoral Officer

inaccurate materials the government complained about were circulated before the petition period started, Harry Neufeld said in the letter.

If the petition succeeds, the government would

have to either put the question to a provincewide referendum, or introduce a bill to repeal the HST. The B.C. Liberals could use their majority to defeat the bill, or let it die on the order paper.

Rodeo returns Wednesday night

Cloverdale goes country Jennifer Lang Black Press

They’re putting the country back in Cloverdale starting tonight (Wednesday), when Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino helps kick off Rodeo Week with a good, oldfashioned hoedown.

This evening’s Country Hoedown and Country Dance, a new event, features an interactive line and square dance demonstration designed to encourage crowd participation.

Rising star Danica Danielsen, a local country singer, will also perform at the prerodeo event.

“It’s fun, simple, and no cost to get into the country spirit,” notes Paul Orazietti, executive director of the Cloverdale Business Improvement Association, which presents Rodeo Days along with the Cloverdale District Chamber of Commerce.

Next up are two traditional pre-rodeo events – the 33rd annual Bed Races, a friendly competition where local businesses and service organizations push a bed with a rider two city blocks and the Kids Decorated Bike Parade – on Thursday from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Friday is the Annual Chili Cook Off at Clover Square Village.

Sample the best chili served up by local businesses and residents, from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. There will be a charity barbecue after the chili runs out, plus entertainment

by B.C. Junior Talent Search semifinalists, and Danica Danielsen and band.

Thousands of spectators are expected at the Cloverdale Rodeo this year.

Lions Club hosts the annual parade pancake breakfast Saturday at Hawthorne Square, 5748 176 Street, from 8 to 10 a.m.

As for the rodeo competition itself, this year’s event will again be an invitational, with 24 top professional rodeo contestants competing in in bareback, saddle bronc, bull riding, and ladies barrel racing events.

This year, they’re competing for a share of the $360,000-plus purse.

First place is $20,000, plus the money the competitor made in the previous rounds leading up to the Monday final, featuring

the top eight from the A and B performance pools.

At least three previous Cloverdale champions are here for 2010, including bronc rider Dusty Hausauer (2009), and bull-rider Steve Woolsey (2008 and 2009), and 2008 ladies barrel racing world champion Lindsay Sears, who won Cloverdale last year.

It’s been three years since the rodeo went to an invitational format – dropping tie-down roping, steer-wrestling and team-roping events in the wake of protests from animal rights activists and boycott threats – pulling out of the pro circuit.

As many as 10,000 spectators will line downtown streets at this year’s parade (Saturday at 10 a.m.), featuring more than 80 entries, including clowns, floats, bands, marching units and the Cloverdale Elks.

This year’s rodeo will make a little history, too – it’s the first on the worldwide circuit to include a South Asian cultural festival of music, dance and culture as part of the festivities.

The family oriented “Desi Mela” festival, which translates as “country folk fair” will incorporate IndoCanadian music, dance and culture.

Man found in trunk at border crossing Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Note to cross-border shoppers: on the trip home, best if one of your packages isn’t a guy you picked up along the way.

A Canadian woman learned that the hard way last month, when border officers giving her vehicle a closer look found an American male hiding in the trunk.

According to Canada Border Services Agency, the woman was returning from a shopping trip to Bellingham on April 21, when she was referred for a secondary examination.

The male found in the trunk was returned to the states and ordered to appear in Canada at a later date for an admissibility hearing.

The woman remains under investigation.

Two Americans hoping to enter Canada were turned back on April 27, after one admitted to having prescription marijuana with him. Border guards found 28 grams of the drug, along with an undeclared .22-calibre revolver and a prohibited cross-bow in the northbound vehicle, said CBSA officials. The travellers had declared two shotguns and two air pistols.

Another tip travellers may want to note: make sure your passport is from a country that actually exists.

CBSA officials said that wasn’t the case with one American man who arrived at the border on May 3. Seeking entry to live and work in Canada, the man presented a passport for a non-existent country, and told border guards he was a citizen of a small island off of Australia. He even provided supporting documents, but

refused to answer any other questions or allow the officers to search his pockets.

The man was arrested and returned stateside.

An American male claiming he was going dirt-biking was refused entry on May 5 after CBSA officers determined he actually planned to sell his dirt bike in Canada. They then found a large-capacity magazine for a .45-calibre Glock pistol in his vehicle.

The magazine was seized and the man sent back to the states.

A family of six who declared less than half of the $22,485 US they were carrying was turned back at the border on May 1.

According to CBSA, the group told officers they had $10,000 US between them, and were heading to Chinatown for the day. Investigation determined the full $22,485 US belonged to one of the travellers and had been divided between three adults just prior to arriving at the border. The currency was seized, a penalty imposed and the family returned to the U.S. Others stopped at the border in recent weeks were a Canadian male with two outstanding B.C.-wide warrants (April 17); an American male with drug-trafficking convictions (April 19); an American male with a history of criminality in Canada dating back 20 years (April 19); a foreign national caught walking northbound through the CBSA export lane, who was determined to have possible gang links (May 1); and a Canadian male who admitted to smoking marijuana (May 5). The latter was issued a driving prohibition and ticketed for trying to alter his expired driver’s licence.

Anniversary event draws hundreds to Bakerview Park

Maternity reunion exceeds expectations Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

P

eace Arch Hospital’s maternity ward staff were reunited Saturday with some of the children they helped deliver, as families flocked to Bakerview Park for a 10-year anniversary celebration of the maternity clinic.

Around 700 people attended the free barbecue, which included face painting, a bouncy castle, an entertainer and 48 batches of popcorn.

One of the purposes of the event was to reconnect babies born at the hospital with the maternity staff who work there.

While the majority of kids who attended were toddlers and preschoolers, Dr. Werner Spangehl Rob Bosley photo said there were also school-age children and infants, including one who had just been born the previous week.

“Some of the kids would come up to you (saying) ‘You helped deliver me,’” he said.

“We saw a lot of families who came back.

Most of the maternity doctors, except for the ones working at the time, were at the event, so all of us had that experience.”

Spangehl said one doctor in particular, a pediatrician, was approached by an appreciative woman who said she had a threatened miscarriage when 28 weeks

pregnant, and, despite the maternity ward being particularly busy at the time, was carefully attended to by both doctors and nurses. Although she was transferred to Royal Columbian Hospital, the woman was eventually brought back to Peace Arch, where she had a normal delivery.

“It was gratifying,” Spangehl said of meeting past patients.

With a turnout that exceeded expectations – organizers were prepared for about 500 people at most – Spangehl said the celebration was an “overwhelming success.”

“Some of my colleagues who were organizing it... were saying that they had a ton of positive feedback,” he said. “It reminded (attendants) of that small-town community get-together.”

While entertainer Mike Battie offered juggling seminars, The Skepasts Family Band, consisting of Peace Arch Hospital urologist Peter Skepasts, his wife and four sons – two of whom were born at the hospital – provided live music, performing two sets.

“That was really great; that was wellreceived,” Spangehl said. “They are an inspiration to all of us as parents in terms of giving your kids something to do other than video games.”

And while the afternoon celebrated the Peace Arch Maternity Clinic’s anniversary, it also provided an opportunity to recognize the current renovation of Peace Arch Hospital’s maternity ward, which will include eight 400-sq.-ft. single-family birthing rooms.

“That’s going to help us serve the growing community,” Spangehl said. “We’re having more higher density here now and more younger families moving in, and we want them to have most of their needs met at

their community hospital.”

As far as hosting the event again, he said it will depend on the timing, as well as Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation, which provided funding.

“We would like to keep the awareness going about what we’re doing and celebrate our success,” he said.

Bike journey for big bucks White Rock firefighters’ biggest fundraising effort ever kicks off May 26 at the Pacific Avenue Hall.

“It’s massive,” said firefighter Mike Stark of the Shore2Shore initiative, which aims to raise $100,000 for Variety the Children’s Charity.

“The undertaking of $100,000 for a department of this size is huge. We’re going to show them we can do it.”

Shore2Shore is a two-week, coast-to-coast cycling trip. The firefighters plan to ride relay-

style from Halifax, N.S. to White Rock’s waterfront – 6,800 kilometres in all – with one rider on the road at all times.

It is an effort that has been in the works for more than a year.

Eight of the crew’s 21 firefighters are gearing up to ride.

The career crew typically raises about $21,000 annually for its charity fund, through events such as a summer volleyball tournament and Christmas treechipping.

So far, more than $30,000 has been raised for Shore2Shore, and

Stark is confident the team – Eric Kameka, James Davison, Mike Passas, Al McNabb, Cordell Fulton, Bira Bindra, Evan Bird and Patrick Ryan – will meet its goal.

“We’re here, we’re going forward with this and we’ve got four months to bring this together,” he said.

“I know that they will not fail.”

The May 26 event takes place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The hall is located at 15315 Pacific Ave. For more information, visit www.wrfrcharity.blogspot.com - Tracy Holmes

Couple celebrates ‘rare bond’ Mark Brooks

W

Special to Peace Arch News

hen my sister and I were wee tots, my granddad loved to buy us sweets.

Smarties were his favourite.

We knew immediately when he had some. We would simply wait impatiently until he finally cracked open the new packet and – as he always did – he would leave two small, perfectly equal piles on the table, then steal out of the room leaving the candy temporarily vulnerable.

This was our opportunity. We would swoop in and gobble the chocolates as fast as possible, before our granddad would invariably interrupt us by storming back in mock indignation.

“You’re eating my Smarties! The outrage!”

This of course would only deliver us into fits of laughter.

This and other scenes were played out on a regular basis when my sister and I visited our grandparents every summer on Vancouver Island. We looked forward all year to the time when our mother would pack us into the car and off we would go to the ferry at Horseshoe Bay. The time always passed quickly but we managed to cram a dizzying array of activities into a mere week or two.

Playing games, walking on the beach, swimming, going for ice cream or simply being silly around the house.

It didn’t much matter. We simply loved to spend time with them.

This year marks the platinum wedding anniversary of my grandparents, Les and Barbara Gardner, who’ve been residents of White Rock for the past 10 years.

What does it take to make it 70 years

Contributed photo

Barbara and Les Gardner celebrated their 70th anniversary earlier this year. as a couple? Good genes for one. Beyond that, all I presume to know comes from what I have learned watching my grandparents over the past 30-plus years.

My granddad loves the tale of their courtship and would recount it over.

The story goes that when he first saw my grandmother on a beach in Southsea, England in 1938, he turned to his pals and pointed out the girl he was going to marry.

My grandmother was impressed by this confident young man. She was pretty, bestowed with quiet determination, a boundless heart and unmistakable charm.

They were both young; he 21, she 20.

They married within two years, on Feb. 17. Like many of their generation, their lives were shaped by war. Not only were

MISSING

they both born into wartime Europe, they survived the Depression only to see my grandfather called, at age 23, to the Second World War. He served for six years, while my grandmother was forced to endure the German air raids alone.

They were fortunate only to have surrendered their youth to the war effort.

Of five mates who soldiered off together, only my granddad would return.

Despite the indelible mark this period left on their lives, my grandparents became two people who are as affable as one could hope to know.

My granddad, a schoolteacher and eventual headmaster, delighted in offering his grandkids a new joke or prank or song with each visit.

Though not prone to histrionics herself, my grandma adored his humour, and would look on with a slight head shake, a roll of her eyes, and a quiet smile.

They went on to raise two children, and to share a love of travel. Their sense of adventure eventually saw them following their families to Canada and settling on the West Coast.

They forged a life together that made space for shared interests and the growth of two independent individuals.

Indeed, if there was one constant to their partnership, it was simply friendship.

Call it a rare bond or a deep connection; call it love – the label matters little. What my grandparents found is not a course that can be intentionally plotted.

And through it all, they managed to create something intangible, something that has sustained and enriched them for a remarkable 70 years.

LAURA THIBEAULT and

When I moved here over 20 years ago, I was delighted to see the Peace Arch News delivered free to my door. It was an incredibly useful link to my new community and I used it regularly to connect to the services I needed. The Peace Arch News contains the kind of personally important information that isn’t readily available otherwise – all in one publication. Over the years, it has continued to be a mainstay for remaining in touch with what’s going on with local shops, neighborhood activities and municipal affairs.

In my work as a realtor, I continue to rely on the Peace Arch News to publicize clients’ properties. I know advertising a listing in the weekend Open House Real Estate section draws a steady stream of potential buyers.

Mailing a couple of issues of the paper to outof-town clients gives them a sample of this area’s flavour and what they can look forward to in moving here. When I’m running real estate workshops or organizing charitable community events, I receive terrific advice and support from my own personal sales representative.

I heartily endorse the Peace Arch News for its service to and hard work for the well-being of our community.

SEA ORCHID BOUTIQUE and

I opened my business, Sea Orchid Boutique at Five Corners in White Rock year and a half ago, and had limited knowledge of marketing and ad design The professional staff at Peace Arch News has helped me create advertising that works for me. My sales representative listens to what I am trying to achieve through my advertising and gives me suggestions on how to maximize the impact of my ad. The creative design team at Peace Arch News has designed ads that garner attention and as a result, each time I have advertised, I have had new customers in my store.

The Peace Arch News is truly a community newspaper, providing great news coverage of local events and excellent customer service to both their readers and advertisers. They really care about this community and the businessses they serve.

WILD BIRDS UNLIMITED and

From our opening day in 1991, we have relied on the Peace Arch News as our primary advertising vehicle to communicate our presence in White Rock & South Surrey.

The Peace Arch News has excelled in not only relaying relevant information, but also in their community paper which is well respected in White Rock and South Surrey, As our community has grown and changed over the years, the Peace Arch News has grown as well. The cooperation with Flyerland.com in regards to the coupon wrap has combined the tools of print and internet which gives the advertiser even more exposure. We have not seen such a favourable response rate from any other coupon book we have tried.

The Peace Arch News sales representatives have been more than helpful with advertising ideas and we have always been pleased with the results. As a small business owner, I can only wear so many hats and so I rely on the professionalism and talent of the staff at the Peace Arch News.

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans says it is selectively closing areas to fishing, rather than imposing a blanket chinook closure.

Salmon hearings

Furlong honoured

The Cohen Commission will begin detailed hearings into the decline of Fraser Valley sockeye salmon in early September.

The federally appointed judicial inquiry has also scheduled some preliminary hearings starting in mid-June to determine which issues deserve the most attention.

Last year’s sockeye return was the worst on record, triggering fresh debate over the possible causes of the fishery collapse.

One of TransLink’s newest SkyTrain cars has been named in honour of the man who headed the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics.

Car No. 308 is named “In the Olympic Spirit of John Furlong” – the first time a SkyTrain car has been named after a person, rather than a B.C. place.

TransLink officials say the name recognizes the VANOC CEO’s role in leading a successful Olympics that brought a new spirit to Metro Vancouver and demonstrated the potential of the transit system.

Call for resignation Aboriginal leaders along the Fraser River are demanding federal fisheries minister Gail Shea resign for failing to act swiftly to save chinook salmon.

First Nations on the river agreed not to fish for chinook from April to June to protect the troubled run.

They say Shea should have shut saltwater sports and commercial fisheries for chinook as well and blame Ottawa for “years of mismanagement” of the chinook fishery.

“At this rate, our early Chinook will soon be extinct

Fare deal for fans TransLink is offering BC Lions season ticket holders a discounted transit pass to get to and from games.

The $58.78 price works out to less than $6 for each of the 10 games at Empire Field, one-third off the price of a TransLink day pass.

It’s a new twist on TransLink’s service during the Olympics, where transit use was built into the price of event tickets, although in this case, the Lions pass is optional.

the scene …on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Semiahmoo Strings

Arts Society show

The extraordinarily mature musicianship of the Semiahmoo Strings youth orchestra, directed by Carla Birston, will be on show tonight (Wednesday, May 19) at 7:30 p.m. at Earl Marriott Secondary’s Wheelhouse Theatre (15751 16 Ave.) in a concert highlighting the dramatic music of Bizet’s Carmen, and the equally dramatic movie scores of Ennio Morricone.

The strings’ version of the Carmen Suite will offer composer Rodion Shchedrin’s dazzling instrumental orchestration of Bizet’s operatic score (with added percussion by Phillip Crewe).

Co-director/arranger Harold Birston’s Cinema Suite II will feature themes by Ennio and Andrea Morricone from Cinema Paradiso and the French thrillers Le Marginal (The Outsider), The Palermo Connection and Le Professionel, in which the Strings will be joined by Crewe and electric bassist Taylor Fee. Also on the program: cellist Roland Gjernes, accompanied by the Strings, in Remo Giazotto’s Adagio in G Minor (formerly attributed to Tomaso Albinoni), the Strings’ performance of Wir Eilen Mit Schwachen, from J.S. Bach’s Cantata No. 78, and junior group the Demi-Semiahmoo Strings performing the finale from Mozart’s Symphony No. 15, and Double Agent, Harold Birston’s medley of Lalo Schifrin’s celebrated Mission Impossible theme and Monty Norman’s James Bond Theme.

HMS Pinafore One of the all-time favourites of the Savoy repertoire, HMS Pinafore, will set sail tonight (Wednesday, May 19) to May 29, in a production by the Fraser Valley Gilbert & Sullivan Society at Surrey Arts Centre’s Studio Theatre, 13750 88 Ave. Sir W.S. Gilbert and Sir Arthur Sullivan’s 1878 satirical dig at what was then perceived as a de-natured and overly bureaucratic Royal Navy, is typically loaded with impish humour and soaring melody, all of which will be in evidence in the hands of producers Cathy Wilmot and Arne Larsen and director Rick Harmon, with musical direction by Vashti Fairbairn and choreographer Carol Seitz.

The talented cast includes James Walker as Sir Joseph Porter (Master of the Queen’s Navy), Christopher Simmons as earnest young sailor Ralph Rackstraw, Debra Da Vaughn as captain’s daughter Josephine Corcoran, Reg Pillay as Dick Deadeye, Laura Luongo as Cousin Hebe, Dale Szohner as Captain Corcoran, Matt Hume as Bill Bobstay and James Hussen as Bob Becket.

Evening performances run Wednesday to Saturday at 7:30 p.m., with 3 p.m. matinees May 22, 23 and 29.

Tickets are available from the Surrey Arts Centre Box Office, 604-501-5566 (noon to 5 p.m. including weekends), or online at www.surrey.ca/Living+in+Surrey/Arts/ default.htm

Rabbit Hole features Gemma Martini, David Costa, Mary Renville, Corrine Out, and Michael Ringland.

Tickets ($15) are available by phone: 604-576-8451 or by email: reservations@ surreylittletheatre.com.

White Rock Museum and Archives presents the exhibition Big Sand, opening Friday, May 28, and running through midAugust 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.

Nancy Walker Quartet Described as the “best jazz group you’ve never heard,” the Toronto-based Nancy Walker Quartet comes to the Peninsula for a concert Saturday, May 29, 8 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion Crescent Branch 240 (2643 128 St.).

Presented by the Community Arts Council of White Rock and District as the last concert in the East Meets West jazz series, the quartet will include one local element – drummer Jesse Cahill.

Pianist/ composer Walker’s style is a felecitous combination of intellectualism, lyricism and heart, and while her highly accessible jazz is easy on the ears, it also includes advanced harmonies that sustain interest and challenge for the most sophisticated listener.

Winner of the 2008 National Jazz Awards’ keyboardist of the year honours and the 2003 Montreal International Jazz Festival’s prestigious Grand Prix de Jazz, Walker has studied with renowned New York piano master Fred Hersch, and was a Juno nominee in the instrumental album of the year category for her recording Rainy Days and Mondays.

World Athletics Day celebrated in South Surrey

Athletes on their marks Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

O

cean Athletics’ members put on quite a show at World Athletics Day last week, racking up podium finishes everywhere – from the track to the steeplechase to the jumping pits.

“It was a great day. A lot of top athletes were out – people you’ll definitely see later (this year) at the B.C. high school championships,” said meet director Jim Clifford, adding that more than 300 athletes from the Lower Mainland took part in the May 12 meet, held at South Surrey Athletic Park.

The host club’s first triumph on the track came in the boys 1,500-m, which featured a clean sweep with Dustin Johnson first in a time of four minutes, 37.4 seconds, quickly followed by Ocean Athletics’ teammates Brandon Figueroa – just o ne-tenth of a second behind – and in third, Jalen Sekhon.

Meanwhile, in the 1,500-m girls race, OA’s Ally Ginther was fleetest afoot, finishing in 5:08.7 – two seconds faster than West Point Grey’s Jessica Dorfmann and four ticks quicker than Ocean Athletics’ Erin Slade, who won bronze.

In the girls steeplechase, Tessa Davis and Peggy Noel were second and third, respectively, and Rachel Cho finished just off the podium, in fourth.

In the juvenile girls 200-m, Ocean Athletics’ Emma Mittermaier was third, and in the juvenile-junior 400-m, OA had a pair of gold medallists – Jack Williams won the boys race, while Vanessa Sjoberg was first among girls.

In the midget girls 400, Alison Williams took top spot, edging Vancouver Olympic Club’s Heather LePard by 3.1 seconds.

Ocean Athletics dominated the juvenilejunior boys 800, taking the top five spots.

Justin Kent was first, followed, in order, by Declan White, Gurjot Bal, Tyler McMillan and Tim Delcourt.

More than 300 athletes took part in World Athletics Day last Wednesday at South Surrey Athletic Park, with a slew of Ocean Athletics members making their mark with podium finishes. Above, Meghan Palesch competes in shot put; below, Ally Ginther finishes the 1,500-m race; below left, Dustin Johnson and Brandon Figueroa finish 1-2 in the boys 1,500.

In the midget boys 800, OA’s Chase Lawler was second and Figueroa third, while in the midget girls 800, Langley Mustangs’ Taylor Neveu – a Peninsula resident – finished first, White Rock Christian Academy’s Hannah Beaton was second, and Ocean Athletics’ Jenna Phipps was third.

In one of World Athletics Day’s feature events, the invitational men’s mile, Ocean Athletics’ Deon Clifford – who also stars at the high-school level for Earl Marriott Secondary – placed second, just 1.3 seconds behind winner Keffri Neal of the Surrey Athletics Club. Both ran personal best times.

WRCA’s Sean Keane was third, while OA’s Jake Bruchet and Rajput Gurjit placed fourth and fifth, respectively.

Ocean Athletics added a new award this year, for most outstanding male and female athlete. The top female athlete was Katie Reid - an Earl Marriott Secondary student and runner with the Richmond Kajaks.

A nationally-ranked 400-m runner, Reid instead ran the 100 and 200 at World Athletics Day, and also medalled in the long jump.

Top boys athlete was Kent, who ran the 800-m. Normally Kent runs longer races, the 3,000-m and steeplechase.

“That just shows you the kind of ranges these two have – that they ran different races than they’re used to and still finished (on the podium),” said Clifford.

There were a number of strong finishes by local athletes in field events, too.

Meghan Palesch placed first in the midget girls high jump, clearing the bar at 1.51 metres; OA teammate Dobie Reta placed third in the same event, with a 1.47-m leap.

In midget boys high jump, Hunter Walkow was second – clearing 1.57 m – while Allison Williams won gold in the midget girls long jump, with a 4.83-m leap. Palesch was third in long jump, at 4.62 m.

In juvenile-junior girls triple jump, Cassidy Scott won gold, with a leap of 10 m, while WRCA’s Hannah Beaton scored gold in both the midget girls’ three-kg and four-kg shot put.

In midget boys’ four-kg shot put, Ocean Athletics’ Robbie Yang was victorious.

WRCA’s Stephanie Beck placed first in juvenile girls four-kg shot put, as well as juvenile-junior girls hammer throw and discus.

In discus, OA’s Florence Clifford was second, and Langley Mustang’s Christina Juert, a Peninsula resident, third.

Elgin Park’s Alexa Martin won bronze in midget girls discus, and Ocean Athletics’ Robbie Kang won gold in midget boys discus and four-kg shot put. Ryan Sommer placed first in juvenile-junior boys discus; WRCA’s Riley Barker was fourth.

World Athletics Day is held annually across the globe – last year, 140 cities across the world took part. Worldwide numbers for this year’s event weren’t tallied yet, Clifford said, but Surrey was one of just two Canadian cities to be designated as official hosts.

EMS juniors second in Valley Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Brian Giebelhaus photo

Earl Marriott’s Victoria Singh (left) battles Sands’ Cheyenne Phillips for the ball during semifinal action earlier this month.

Earl Marriott Secondary’s junior girls soccer team lost just one game all season long, but the trouble was in the timing – the lone defeat came in the biggest game.

The EMS Mariners ended their season last week with 1-0 loss to Langley’s Brookswood Bobcats in the championship game of the Fraser Valleys. The Mariners’ second-place finish was still a point of pride for head coach Courtenay Hunter, however – the team still finished with an impressive 11-1 overall record.

“It was just a fantastic season,” Hunter said.

“The girls all played so well.”

The Mariners advanced

to the Fraser Valley title game after a 1-0 playoff win May 4 over the Sands Secondary Scorpions at South Surrey Athletic Park.

Carly Chesham, the Mariners’ outside midfielder, scored the game’s lone goal to send EMS to the finals.

Hunter said her squad would likely be among the championship contenders next season, too – the Mariners’ squad was one of the youngest in the league this past season.

The junior squad will lose just six players to the senior ranks next season; seven Grade 9s and six Grades 8s from this year’s team will anchor the squad next year.

“The girls are already looking forward to next season,” Hunter said.

Hoops provincials on the move The B.C. high school boys basketball AAA championships is leaving the friendly confines of the PNE Agrodome for Langley.

Tournament officials revealed last week that the championships will now be held at the Langley Events Centre.

Beginning in 2011, one of Canada’s most recognizable high school sporting events will be played under the bright lights of the LEC after B.C. High School Boys’ Basketball Association’s executive, board of governors and tournament committee unanimously voted for relocation.

According to tournament director John Buis, the move to the LEC from the Agrodome will enhance the experience for student athletes.

“It is the right time and place for what we would like to do,” said Buis, a Peninsula resident.

“It combines some of the aspects

of our tournament that we were holding offsite, as some of the games were being held at a local high school. Now we are able to do it all at one facility.”

Buis said the relocation will also provide the tournament with additional flexibility.

“The obvious reasons in moving to the Langley Events Centre are it is newer, brighter and a more modern facility.

“In addition to the arena which will seat close to 6,500 fans, we have access to three additional basketball courts, a modern audio-visual system and a 500seat banquet facility,” said Buis.

“We have clearly had an upswing in the tournament over the last few years, and we think this move will help continue the growth of the event.”

According to Buis, the move will also allow organizers to pursue events, such as coaching and

player clinics, that would complement the tournament, along with expanding the number of games each team plays.

The only Peninsula team to appear at the provincial tournament in recent years has been the White Rock Christian Academy Warriors, who finished second last season.

The decision to relocate the championships wasn’t easy, Buis said, as it ends a long-standing partnership with the PNE. “We finished our five-year agreement and we had been in discussions with the PNE,” he said. “It was not as if we were unhappy with the PNE. They were great to deal with and many of their people knew as much about the tournament as I do, so it was very, very difficult,” he said.

Next year’s AAA championship will be held March 15-19.

White Rock won the game, 4-0.

Tritons respond after coach reads ‘riot act’ Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

It’s amazing sometimes what a little tough love can accomplish.

After a pair of losses Saturday – one by forfeit, again, due to too many injuries – White Rock Tritons head coach Brent Swanson gathered his Premier Baseball League team together, and, well, got mad.

“I just read them the riot act. I told them that if they didn’t want to be be here and be dedicated to playing baseball on this team, then they should hand me their uniforms right now and go home,”

he said. “The guys just didn’t seem committed. I told them that it wasn’t the losing that bothered me, because we all knew it was going to be a tough year, but what I couldn’t stand was not playing hard.”

The speech worked, and Sunday morning the Tritons came up with perhaps their best effort of the season, defeating the Parksville Royals 7-1 on Vancouver Island. They lost the second game of the doubleheader, 5-1.

“The guys responded very well on Sunday – that was the hardest I’d seen them play all year. They knew we were shorthanded again

but didn’t care. They just went out there and battled,” Swanson said.

“I was pretty proud of them.”

Alex Webb pitched all seven innings in the win, allowing just one run while striking out five.

Offensively, Josh Larsen went 3-for-4 with a double and three RBI, and third baseman Nick Ackerman also had three RBI in the win.

Swanson said the team could’ve won the second game, too, had it not been for a bit of bad luck. “(The Royals) strung a few hits together at the end, and we had some bad luck,” he explained.

“We had one tailor-made doubleplay but the ball hit a sprinkler head and bounced up over our second baseman’s head... that’s just how it went.”

Though the weekend showed encouraging signs, Swanson has had plenty of reason to be upset with the way his team’s season has gone. The Tritons sport a 5-15 record and have struggled to stay healthy.

The already shorthanded team’s ranks – they have now forfeited four games out of 20 – were thinned further by an injury to pitcher Sam Whittaker – who broke his thumb

– and this week, Keenan Chanin leaves for a 10-day stint with Canada’s national junior team.

Swanson said that, no matter how many injuries the team suffers, he does not foresee a situation where his team would be forced to sit out the rest of the PBL schedule.

“I don’t think the league would ever do something like that – they won’t put that kind of pressure on us,” he said.

Swanson will instead reinforce his roster with call-ups from the Jr. Tritons – pitcher Shaylen Buis will start for the big club Sunday against the Fraser Valley Chiefs.

SHIELD, Lillian It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Lillian Blanche Shield, beloved mother, Nana, Great-Nana and valued friend to all who knew her.

She passed away peacefully on Sunday, May 16th in the Peace Arch Hospice, after a long battle with cancer. She will be lovingly remembered by her son, John and daughter-inlaw Linda, her granddaughter Jennifer (Jason) and great granddaughters Hannah and Lily. She is survived by her sister Irene (Kathleen) in England and her sister Blanche (Ken) in Australia, brother in law Len as well as many nieces and nephews in England. Lillian was born in London, England, on March 30th, 1925 and she came to Canada as a war bride in 1946. She was Matron at the Oakalla Prison farm and had complete control over the kitchen operations for 13 years. She was an active member of the Canadian Legion (Burnaby and White Rock branches) serving in the Ladies Auxiliary for many years. With her quick wit and unbridled sense of humour she was always armed with a clever quip or an amusing anecdote, often entertaining and delighting those around her.

Many thanks to the kind and caring nursing staff at the Peace Arch Hospice, and special thanks to Dr. Michael Bourke and Gerda Clifford for taking such exceptional care of Lillian. A Celebration of Lillian’s life will be held at 2:00 p.m on Friday May 21st at Fraser Heights Chapel 14835 Fraser Highway, Surrey.

FIESTA BLENDS CLASS-LEADING CONTENT WITH EUROPEAN

By Rob Beintema Metroland Newspapers Carguide Magazine.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – This summer, Canada welcomes the 2011 Ford Fiesta, a brand new, small car that brings European panache and performance to North America at a starting price of $12,999.

And it’s about time. “I can’t count the number of times friends have returned from Europe and bugged me about the great little cars they’ve seen and driven over there,” said Steve Pintar, Chief Engineer for Fiesta North America. “And they’d ask me, ‘Why don’t we have them over here?’”

“Well,” he added, nodding at the Fiesta, “we’ve got one now.”

The Fiesta nameplate has been a success, with over 12 million cars sold in Europe. And the latest version is off to a roaring start with three quarters of a million sales already, making it the number one seller in Europe, so far this year.

“And I believe there’s been a convergence, with less difference between North American and European drivers than in the past,” Pintar told me at the vehicle launch.

A next generation of North American drivers, raised on imports, has become increasingly sophisticated and demanding. Global customer research found that style topped the list of customer desires everywhere in the world. Drivers accept no economy excuses, expecting a distinctively designed small car, quality-built with conveniences, comfort and connectivity.

The new 2011 Fiesta is based on Ford’s global “B” platform, shared with the Mazda2, and in Canada it will be available in four-door sedan or five-door hatchback layout.

Up front, Fiesta sports the global Ford face, centering the Blue Oval badge above a signature style inverted trapezoid lower grille opening. There’s little variance from the European model – the same elongated headlamps frame the hood, bracketed by muscular, sculpted front fenders. A rising beltline and strong character lines sweep back to the rear taillamps, most dramatically accented on the spoilered five-door hatchback version.

Fiesta’s youthful verve is enhanced by nine vivid new colours from Bright Magenta to Lime Squeeze and Blue Flame, to name just a few.

The Fiesta shares a sixty percent commonality with its European cousin, but yes, there are subtle differences.

The Ford family tri-bar upper grille, added to the North American Fiesta, finds its roots in Fusion’s success while

adjusted bumpers, meeting higher impact-point rules for North America, created an opportunity to accent larger side marker slots with LED strips taken from the Taurus.

There are still some cultural differences to be taken into account, as well. European drivers, for example, prefer the precision of rotary dials for seat recline and height adjustment whereas North Americans lean towards levers.

But inside, you’ll find more similarities than differences.

The interior is boldly sculpted with contrasting colours and accented by Ford’s funky available ambient lighting, an illumination system that sets the mood with a choice of seven colours.

And the Fiesta is quiet, with the kind of NVH-robbing attention to insulation you’d expect in a more expensive car.

The instrument panel centre stack, a focal point of the Fiesta interior, was designed to feel as familiar as the keypad on your mobile phone, and its Tranformerreminiscent layout will no doubt resonate and raise a giggle from next gen drivers.

Rear seating requires compromise from the front row occupants but, this is a small car, after all, and it is as comfortable as its size allows.

The first-row buckets and 60/40 split second-row come in cloth or leather with front heated surfaces available in both textures.

Under the hood, a 1.6-litre DOHC I-4 engine makes 120 hp at 6,350 rpm and 112 lb/ft of torque at 5,000 rpm. Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT) allowed the engine to be downsized for fuel economy without compromise of throttle response or performance.

The Fiesta held its own on the streets of San Francisco or cruising the Pacific Coast Highway. Like most small engines, it makes the most of its power through proper gearing, in this case harnessing either a five-speed manual or a new, industry-exclusive PowerShift sixspeed automatic dual-clutch transmission ($1,250).

Ford boasts an early projected 40 mpg highway average but Transport Canada has returned even more optimistic numbers (see below). I managed only a dismal 8.7L/100km. Well, not that dismal, really, because I was flogging the car unmercifully and having way too much fun on spiraling mountain roads to worry about fuel economy.

We’ll probably never see Europe’s variety of engines, including the 1.6-litre diesel that rivals the Prius hybrid’s fuel economy numbers, unless fuel prices go through the roof. But I wouldn’t be surprised to see Ford add an Ecoboost turbo version in a year or two, just to re-spike driver interest.

The 2011 Ford Fiesta offers 15 class-exclusive technologies, including a 4-inch multifunctional display, SYNC voice-activated connectivity, seven standard airbags and a fuel-efficient four cylinder engine. It will be available at Canadian dealers this summer as a four-door sedan and five-door hatchback.

The centrepiece of the Fiesta interior, the instrument panel centre stack, was designed to feel as familiar as the keypad on a mobile phone.

The 2011 Ford Fiesta will start at $12,999 in Canada.

Sure, that’s a bit of a “stripper” model, $1,000 cheaper than an American entry version that starts with air conditioning, but even the base five-speed manual sedan comes with seven airbags, halogen headlights, ABS, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), power mirrors, tilt/telescopic steering, tachometer, tire pressure management systems and 4-speaker AM/FM/Aux audio.

Regardless of trim level, the 2011 Ford Fiesta offers Canadians a new and vibrant economy car option with class-leading levels of performance and content, accented with European styling élan. It is aimed squarely at competitors like the Honda Fit and Toyota Yaris and has beaten its domestic rivals out of the gate – the Chevy Spark and Chrysler’s rebadged Fiat 500.

And, best of all for Ford, the 2011 Fiesta is going to be a surefire hit.
