Car owner ID’d as police attempt to establish who was driving
Search continues for killer driver Hannah Sutherland and Tracy Holmes Staff Reporters
Nearly one week after a White Rock woman was killed by a hit-and-run driver, the person responsible for the tragedy has yet to come forward. As flowers and tributes to Marilyn Laursen mark the corner of Johnston Road and Thrift Avenue – where she was struck as she crossed last Wednesday night – those who knew her are mourning the loss of a woman
who lived life to its fullest. “She was always happy and upbeat and had that great smile,” Maureen Harper, who worked with Laursen several years ago at the Abbotsford News, told Peace Arch News. “She really embraced life and would try any adventure that came her way.” Laursen, 56, died just before 10 p.m. May 18 as she crossed Johnston Road eastbound in the north crosswalk. At the request of family members, police
would not confirm the victim’s name, however a memorial tribute page set up on Facebook identifies Laursen as the woman who was killed that night. According to police, the tragedy occurred just after a White Rock RCMP officer tried to flag over a 1992 red Nissan Maxima that was northbound on Johnston, south of Thrift. The Nissan driver failed to respond and continued north on Johnston at what police describe as “a high rate of speed.”
The car sideswiped a second northbound vehicle, before entering the intersection and striking Laursen, who was crossing with a 28-year-old uninjured woman. Police found and seized a suspect vehicle shortly after, abandoned near 160 Street and King George Boulevard. While police know who owns the vehicle, it remains unclear who was driving it at the time of the hit-and-run. see page 4

afternoon barbecue with staff. Grad Sports Day is meant to show the students that they can have fun and celebrate the end of high school in a respectful and positive way, according to math teacher Grace Win, who spearheaded the project. “The idea of me coming up with this Grade 12 sports day is so they have a closer bond with the staff here, too,” she said. The event is being organized in response to concerns over one of the most popular grad
traditions at the three local high schools, in which girls ‘kidnap’ their male classmates and dress them in drag before parading them around in the community and through school hallways. Win said the ‘grad run-through’ has been associated with alcohol consumption, vandalism and other disruptive behaviour. “For Elgin, it’s gotten a little out of hand in the last two years.

The owner of a rundown property in Newton has complied with city requests to clean it up, but at least one city councillor wants the Surrey Public Market turned into something useful. It’s been almost 13 years since the market shut its doors. Since that time, the property has been inhabited by the homeless and graffiti artists, as well as rodents. City officials have called the 64 Avenue and King George Boulevard property an eyesore and say they want something done with it. Property owner Walter Chan, who also owns Smitty’s Restaurants, has had the property up for sale for quite a number of years. But the former market is built on top of a stream, a tributary of Hyland Creek, which runs into the Serpentine River. Provincial regulations have changed since the market was built, and significant setbacks from the creek would now be required on the property in order for new development to take place. One builder told Black Press that with new setbacks factored in, there are about two acres of developable land on the site, making it a questionable investment. What’s more,

rats have gnawed through wiring inside the building, which some professionals say requires about $4 million in repairs. So the former market sits. Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts and Coun. Linda Hepner said last year they were going to enforce the city’s unkempt property bylaw to get the site cleaned up. Surrey’s bylaw department confirmed the owner responded quickly and effectively to its request for the property to be tidied up. The graffiti has been painted over and a security guard now watches over the property 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Hepner says the moribund market still detracts from the Newton area, and she wants something done with it. “I think it’s a long time in being unoccupied, and I think it would be nice if it added to the energy of Newton rather than drawing from the energy,” Hepner said. “I don’t think it’s contributing to the vitality we would like to see in the Newton core.” Hepner said it would make a great site for an art school, or some other kind of creative industry. Now that the city has come up with a plan for the Newton Town Centre, she hopes that will make the site more viable and potential buyers will start bidding.

news Crash victim’s family gets Grewal’s attention
MPs weigh in on impaired-driving laws Kevin Diakiw Black Press
One Surrey MP will be taking the issue of tougher penalties for drunk driving to Ottawa, while another is taking a wait-and-see approach. A call for mandatory minimum sentences went out last week from the family of 22-year-old Kassandra Kaulius, who was struck and killed by a car at 152 Street and 64 Avenue on May 3. Last week, the Kaulius family gave an impassioned plea for tougher penalties for drinking and driving. They called for zero tolerance of any alcohol before driving and a two-year driving suspension for someone arrested for drinking and driving.
If an impaired driver is involved in a crash, Markita Kaulius – Kassandra’s mother – wants to see a five-year minimum jail sentence, and a charge of vehicular homicide if someone is killed. During a press conference last week, the Kaulius family noted that Nina Grewal, the MP for Fleetwood-Port Kells, attended the memorial service for Kassandra. “It was really sad, my heart goes to the family,” Grewal told Black Press Thursday. Kaulius’ family members, who live in Grewal’s riding, haven’t been in touch with her yet, but Grewal looks forward to bringing their wish for tougher penalties to Ottawa. Grewal noted there is already a
mandatory penalty of $1,000 for a first offence involving drunk driving, a jail sentence of 30 days for a second offence and 120 days for a third. “Despite all of these improvements, more work still needs to be done,” Grewal said. Grewal said she will talk to federal justice minister Rob Nicholson about the possibility of bringing forward stronger mandatory minimums. “I’ll be in touch with the family,” Grewal said. “The law should be tougher, I agree with them 100 per cent, so that no one else dares go on the road (after) drinking alcohol.” Russ Hiebert, the MP for South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale,

S. Surrey-White Rock
said mandatory minimum sentences should be reserved for when judges are clearly falling short on sentencing. The Kaulius accident was extremely tragic, he said, and the issue the family is talking about has his attention. “I think it’s a little bit early to say
the sentencing for these types of crimes is inappropriate,” Hiebert said. “I would like to know that there is a pattern of judges handing sentences that aren’t proportionate to the seriousness of the crime.” He notes several factors are often considered, such as the level of intoxication, previous drinking and driving record, mental health issues or whether street racing was involved. “All of these factors need to be considered,” Hiebert said. “I think it’s important for judges to have some latitude to evaluate those things.” The Kaulius family is also circulating a petition for changes in law that will allow judges to hand out more meaningful sentences.

Semiahmoo Secondary musicians came away from last week’s MusicFest Canada covered in gold – with a little silver thrown in for good measure. Seven of the school’s bands and ensembles received recognition at the four-day festival, this year held in Richmond, which brought together thousands of young musicians from schools across Canada. In the instrumental jazz division, gold status went to the school’s Grade 9 band (with the honour award going to alto saxophonist Richard Roberts), the Grade 11 combo (honour award to guitarist Trevor Peverley); the Grade 11 band (honour award to trumpeter Alex Webb); the Grade 12 combo (honour award to tenor saxophonist Alexandra Sandvoss) and the Grade 12 band (honour award to trumpeter Ania Zarzycki). In the concert band division, Semiahmoo’s senior wind ensemble also won gold (with the honour award going to clarinetist Caleb Robinson). Silver status was won by the Grade 9 concert band (with honour award to trumpeter Raaj Chatterjee). Other local bands also did well at the festival. From Surrey, Frank Hurt’s senior band won gold in the jazz band division; while Frank Hurt’s and Guildford Park’s senior bands won silver in the concert band division. Langley Fine Arts’ senior chamber choir won gold in the choral/vocal jazz division; in the concert division, Langley Christian’s senior band won gold, its middle school band won silver and its Grade 9 band won bronze, while Langley Secondary’s senior band won silver; and in the jazz division, Langley Christian’s junior and senior bands and Langley Secondary’s senior jazz ensemble all won silver. The festival, which began in 1972 and has grown to include the national stage band, concert band and choral competitions, draws more than 10,000 young musicians annually from the elementary, high school, college and university levels.

Police officer’s actions investigated from page 1 “We’re still trying to positively identify who was operating that vehicle at the time of the incident,� Sgt. Peter Thiessen told Peace Arch News Tuesday. “We are aware who the registered owner is.� Thiessen said as soon as police have enough evidence to confirm the driver “we would act on it very quickly.� Surrey RCMP’s Major Crime Section is investigating the incident, supported by White Rock RCMP, the Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service and the Integrated Forensic Identification Service. Approximately 35 officers are on the task. At the same time, Vancouver
Police Department is examining the actions of the White Rock RCMP officer and will determine if any further investigation is required. Thiessen said the reason the White Rock officer flagged over the suspect vehicle is unknown at this time, as is whether the officer pursued the vehicle. “It is not clear whether this was deemed to be a pursuit or not.� Thiessen said the officer is “extremely distraught over the situation here and what has occurred,� and that the investigation is to determine whether there was any breach of policy. “That is why we brought (the VPD) on, to make sure it is an open and transparent process.� White Rock Mayor Catherine
Ferguson described Laursen’s death as “senseless.� “It’s just absolutely tragic,� Ferguson said. “Someone’s lost their mother, their wife, their friend.� Tributes at the intersection speak further to the loss. “I haven’t seen you for a while and I can’t believe I’ll never see you again,� writes one mourner. “You have touched so many lives and you will be in our hearts forever. Your laugh and smiling face I’ll never forget.� Another note states: “You’ll always be with me mom. Love Annie.� Anyone with information regarding the hit-and-run who has not already spoken to police is asked to call the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-7890.

Trailer damaged in fire Surrey firefighters raced to the Hazelmere RV Park & Campground for the second time in two weeks Saturday, after a fire broke out in a fifth-wheel trailer. According to witnesses, the blaze started while the trailer’s occupant was out for a walk. Surrey Fire Services’ Chief Ron Cross said the fire was reported just before 3 p.m. May 21. Firefighters and equipment from at least six halls were dispatched to the
18843 8 Ave. scene. “We make sure that we send a lot of water to make sure that the equipment that’s there will have enough water to put the fire out,” Cross explained. No one was injured and cause of the fire remains under investigation. Cross said investigation into a May 7 fire at the park is also ongoing. In that incident, a 35- to 40-foot fifth-wheel suffered extensive damage. - Tracy Holmes

Running away a cowardly act
Y
ou can run, but you can’t escape the consequences of a fatal crash. Police are confident they will find whoever was responsible for the hit-and-run death of a White Rock woman last week. The woman was in a crosswalk when she was hit by a vehicle travelling at high speed. It appears the driver had already attracted the interest of police, and was fleeing to avoid them. A vehicle suspected involved in the crash was found in South Surrey shortly after the tragedy; its driver presumably fled on foot. The instinct for flight is a primal defensive response. On a visceral level, it makes some sense – and can be understood by most of us, no matter what the circumstances. But in the context of a tragic, needless death, fleeing the scene is little more than cowardice. It inflicts an additional burden of suffering on the loved ones of the victim – not only must they grieve the loss, but they are denied closure by someone who knows the facts but who lacks the necessary intestinal fortitude to come forward. And it is pointless because, at some point, the truth will be known. And the flight, and subsequent evasion of responsibility, cannot help but colour the way the driver responsible is perceived. It’s possible that other factors that contributed to the event exist – but they could not fail to be overshadowed by such an apparent admission of guilt. Public perception can be hard, as we know from the sad example of Carol Berner, convicted of causing the May 2008 death of Alexa Middelaer. Berner, however, remained at that scene and was breathalyzed, even though she has maintained that it was a mechanical problem in her car that was to blame. How much worse would perception have been had she fled? Alexa’s mother, Laurel, recently rallied to the side of the parents of Kassandra Kaulius – a young woman who died May 3, allegedly at the hands of an impaired driver who took flight. A suspect in Kaulius’s death was later apprehended – as most will be. But the hit-and-run driver responsible for the death of an elderly woman in White Rock last year, is still at large, at this writing. In a moral sense – and for anyone with even the smallest vestige of conscience – not being discovered must be the severest consequence of all to the perpetrator of a hit-and-run, particularly one that results in a death. Not facing the music for such an act – but living daily with the anticipation and fear of it – is a soul-destroying sentence that not even the toughest judge or jury could mete out.

67 responding to incorporate them. Increasingly it is immigrants who drive trucks, outworking the resident population to get ahead, as immigrants have always had to do. Speaking of immigrants, the situation in Vancouver real estate is worth noting. One of the things HST was supposed to severely depress was high-end new housing, now subject to the seven-percent provincial portion of HST once the price exceeds $525,000. What has happened? Offshore buyers are pushing costs out of the reach of B.C. residents who aspire to an ocean view. In many cases these are “satellite families,” taking advantage of our clean, stable, safe jurisdiction on the Pacific Rim. Mum may drive the kids to private school in a Range Rover, but the family reports little or no Canadian income. The only way these residents will pay a share is through consumption taxes. I have also argued that migration of retirees will dominate B.C.’s population growth in the coming years. This is another group that reports less income but has significant consumption. A recent BC Stats study shows that I overstated the impact of retirees. Since 1961, only seven per cent of migrants to B.C. have been 65 or older. Younger people are coming here to work, and increasingly they will be selfemployed or in small business. The NDP supports lowering small business income tax to zero. They should also support the HST.

Alarming situation Editor: At 6:30 a.m. Friday morning, I heard someone trying to break into my house. My car was visibly parked in the driveway and we have alarm-company signs visible around the house. I called 911 and went to the door. When I asked the man who he was, he knocked ever so lightly and said nothing. He was Caucasian, 25-40 years old, with a black and red hat, about 5’11”, with either a large mole or tattoo on his cheek. I am a single, 60-year-old female. The police showed up after 10 minutes. I asked them to search my house and yard; they did not. Instead, I went inside to look, while they stood outside my house. I did not get a case file, and they stated that it may have been someone drunk at the wrong house. I have a fenced yard, which requires entering gates to get in. They did not check the backyard or search for evidence. I found a nail clipper with the file open sitting beside my car, which was not there the evening before. My daughter came to check on the house in the afternoon, and found two large hand prints on one of my back windows. The hand prints are angled in a direction which signifies someone trying to push the window open. She called the police, to report the prints, as given the nature of the crime – a possible home invasion – it would be important. When she stressed the importance of it, the police told her to tell me that I can call 911 at anytime. However, while I am tied up, I will not be able to call 911. A home invasion can serve the purpose of robbery or rape; I can only hope it was the first. I just wish to warn everyone of the potential of crime committed even when home. I luckily lock my doors, even when home, but now will be turning the alarm on as well. Naomi Ohlsson, White Rock
Never Land to Fantasyland Editor: I have been to numerous council meetings, read reports and listened to people protesting any change in White Rock, from removing woody weeds on city property to building new developments. The council rubs the knobs on their heads deciding on identity and sustainability. This is the reality: 45 per cent of households in White Rock are single person and the median income is $30,197. People retire to White Rock and expect time to stop. North Bluff Road is perceived as the border to Never Never Land. Housing Price Index increases over the last five years have trailed our Peninsula neighbours, Ocean Park and Elgin Park, by a minimum of 20 per cent. The 25- to 45-year-
old demographic is not choosing White Rock. Ugly truth is: despite banners, new identities and public hearings ad nauseaum, White Rock is becoming a seaside senior’s fantasyland by the ocean. Larry Robinson, White Rock
Grateful for their care Editor: On April 15 at approximately 4 p.m., at the corner of Fraser Glen Drive and 104 Avenue in the neighbourhood of Fraser Heights, I had the most horrific crash and injury of my life. As I turned my bicycle right onto Fraser Glen, my front tire was punctured by a piece of automobile windshield glass that was left behind from a car accident. I had just passed a young man walking down the sidewalk and he witnessed me crash so violently to the ground that I felt my helmet
first contact then seemingly in slow motion continue to try and penetrate the paved ground until it could compress no more; I felt my head and by extension my brain, continue on that same trajectory until it, too, stopped and then rebounded. The helmet saved my life! My attention was immediately drawn to the excruciating pain radiating from my right hip, and then through the fog of my agony, the fear that I was going to be run over by a car and I couldn’t move to save my life because my femur had snapped right through at the top where it is at its thickest. I yelled to the boy to call 911 and report a seriously injured 50-yearold male and I then pleaded with him to not let anyone run me over. He stood in the middle of the intersection and protected my life with his. For this, I will always be grateful, thank you. Within moments, I was surrounded by Good Samaritans. I remember a vehicle taking place of the boy to protect us
all. I remember a woman in a business suit taking off her jacket to cover my now trembling torso. I remember a man placing his lunch box under my head as a pillow. I remember blankets replacing the jacket and a real pillow replacing the lunch box. I remember the comfort from a faceless person placing his hands on my shoulder and telling me help was on its way. These amazing people stayed with me for more than 30 minutes while we waited for an ambulance and fire truck to arrive. As I lie in my hospital bed at Peace Arch 28 days later, I can report I am healing well and, because of these people’s selfless action and the amazing care I have received from the nurses of second floor surgery unit, I will make a full recovery, though the road ahead is long. Thank you to all who cared, you make a difference. You make me profoundly grateful to be a part of the human race. With eternal gratitude, Kevin Kellerman, Surrey

Former premier – and vocal HST opponent – Bill Vander Zalm delivers petitions to Victoria last June.
Pro-HST arguments tax patience Editor: Re: Stick men, straw men debate the HST, May 18. Whatever happened to the supposition of an independent, unbiased fourth estate? I am constantly aggravated by Tom Fletcher’s BC Views columns, which always blatantly present his fervour for right-wing ideology. Last week, Fletcher was spouting off on the HST and trying to straighten us all out on how it is good for small- to medium-sized businesses. Look, Mr. Fletcher, I don’t give a sweet rat’s behind how good the HST is for any business, because what I care about is that I am now paying more taxes on goods and services that I never paid taxes on before, after a disingenuous Liberal government rammed this HST down my throat. Just send me my ballot! Forest McCready, Surrey Q Once again, the BC Liberals’ local point man, columnist Tom Fletcher, has demonstrated his skill in diverting the public from the real issues in B.C. politics. He accuses the NDP and Bill Vander Zalm of setting up straw men because they object to the government’s bias in spending $5 million on pushing their HST in the guise of an “information campaign,” while the anti-HST side gets only 1/20 of that amount. Fletcher has the nerve to claim that the statement, “big business benefits most from the HST,” is false, when the government and its hand-picked ‘independent’ panel
state that this is why they are introducing this unfair tax. The BC Liberals have boasted that introducing the HST is equivalent to a 40 per cent tax cut on business investment. The professional straw-makers – like Fletcher, tax lawyer David Robertson and an army of highly paid economists – are trying to make this a debate about HST versus PST. As shills for big business – like the owners of PAN – they divert attention from the government’s underlying agenda. If the HST is allowed in, the amount of tax drawn from the public will become so huge that there will no longer be any questions raised about dramatically reducing taxes on the friends of big business. Maybe they will give away a percentage point or two on the HST for a while, or at least a promise of doing so, to try to win the vote, but they will be able to raise the rate anytime they want, until it rises to 20 per cent as in many other countries with this VAT-style tax. This is the only chance B.C. taxpayers have to block this tax by temporarily going back to the PST, so that we can have a fair-tax commission examine who pays and who gains from taxes and resource royalties. As Adam Smith – the father of modern economics and professor of moral philosophy – was well aware, economics is always about politics. The rich and powerful in capitalist and ‘mixed’ economies have always successfully pushed a disproportionate share of taxes onto the general public, who, as individuals, lack the power to directly influence government.

The young man who slashed the face and neck of two other Surrey men last year should spend eight years in jail, says the lawyer prosecuting Anthony LaRose. One of LaRose’s victims, Chris Hanna, who bears a scar on his right cheek stretching from his mouth towards his ear, thinks the term should be longer. “But I know it won’t be,” said Hanna. “I’ve forgiven him already. I’ve moved on.” In March, a jury found LaRose, 21, guilty of two counts of aggravated assault, two counts of assault with a weapon, and one count of possessing a weapon in connection to an April 2010 incident near Fraser Highway and 156 Street. It was the early hours of April 3 when Hanna and his friend Saul Marshall, both now 25, were returning from a night out when they stopped at a gas station. Hanna said he ran across the street when he saw a man, LaRose, hit a woman. A fight broke out, Marshall joined in and LaRose pulled a knife on the two unarmed men. He slashed Hanna across the face and stabbed him in the gut three times and sliced Marshall’s neck, narrowly missing the vital carotid artery, before fleeing the scene. During the eight-day jury trial, LaRose never denied the double stabbing, but claimed he didn’t know how badly the pair were hurt and that he ran because he knew police would blame him due to his prior criminal record. He was on probation at the time. He argued the two men confronted him first and he used the knife to defend himself. In New Westminster Supreme Court on Thursday, Crown prosecutor Craig Yamashiro said LaRose has shown a continued lack of remorse and “a callousness” toward what happened. The Crown’s eightyear sentence request would be minus the 13-and-a-half months LaRose has already spent in pre-trail custody. LaRose’s lawyer asked for a sentence between
LaRose has “seen the light” and knows he has to proceed with rehabilitation. A psychological assessment indicated LaRose came from an abusive home, used alcohol to cope from a young age, and may be prone to destructive, anti-social behaviour. Outside court, Hanna said his upbringing wasn’t great either, but he’s not out committing crimes. “You make your own decisions and path in life,” he said. LaRose is to be sentenced May 30.

Good Citizen honoured Kevin Diakiw Black Press
A longtime Surrey volunteer has been named Surrey’s Good Citizen of the Year for 2011. Avril Flather has been selected by the city for her years of work building strong communities. Flather helped found the Panorama Ridge Ratepayers and the area’s riding club. She also served on the Heritage Advisory Committee beginning in the late 1980s and edited the 1989 version of the Book of Surrey’s Heritage. Former City Coun. Judy Higginbotham worked with Flather for years on the heritage committee. She remembers her as “educated and very much a lady” who was evenkeeled and easy to work with.
“She was well-spoken, chose her words well, and always contributed,” Higginbotham said, describing her as extremely capable. “Every committee she was on, she always worked her way up to be chair of it at some point.” Flather also served on the city’s Public Art Advisory Committee. Mayor Dianne Watts said Flather is an excellent choice for this year’s Good Citizen. “The City of Surrey is very fortunate to have so many talented and dedicated volunteers who contribute their time and energy to help build the spirit of our city and make Surrey an even better place to live,” said Watts. The ceremony honouring Flather was last night (Tuesday) at the Sheraton Vancouver Guildford.
We will perform comprehensive hearing screening at NO CHARGE for the first 10 qualified callers to determine if you are a candidate for the program.
Applicants that are selected will be asked to evaluate the latest in hearing aid technology for 45 days. Participants will receive tremendous savings due to their participation.

news Surrey students get extended spring holiday again next year
Two-week break approved Sheila Reynolds Black Press
Students in Surrey public schools will again get two weeks off for spring break next year. The move was approved Thursday by school board trustees for the third consecutive year. The extra week will be added prior to the province-wide break, meaning students in Surrey will be out of the classroom from March 12 to 23. The five noninstructional days equate to a savings of more than $500,000 for the Surrey School District. There will be a slight increase in daily teaching time to make up the five days. The extended spring break was approved by the Surrey Board of Education as part of the local calendar for the 2011-2012 school year.

Living well at any age
A
m I old yet? The definition of the word “senior” is the subject of many discussions nowadays. While some people describe anyone over the age of 50 as being part of this population group, others suggest that the word “senior” should be adjusted to reflect modern standards of life expectancy. The question is: when do we become old? In 1920, the average life expectancy was 60 years. Today, many of us can hope to live well into our eighties or even longer. What we used to refer to as “the golden years” of life applies differently now; some people believe that the term suits only those older than 65 or even 75. Because we are living longer, we must inevitably work longer. Many Canadians who opt for early retirement plans still need to work into their senior years, in order to accumulate enough income to last these extra 20 years of life. Aside from the topic of work and finances, a person’s lifestyle can also have a huge effect on how “old” they feel. Whether you’re 55 or 85, there are many steps to be taken to ensure you’re living a healthy, vibrant and happy life. see page 24

concerned, as long as these changes don’t prevent you from enjoying life. Some of the more annoying inconveniences caused by age-related memory loss can be managed with a few simple tricks. First of all, take your time with new information. Read slowly, and take the time to absorb what you read. You might try summarizing in your mind the main message of a newspaper article and asking yourself questions, just like you did at school during a reading test. This kind of exercise will help your brain to stay alert. Another trick is to read for short periods rather than for hours at a time. You’ll remember more information this way. Establish a routine for reading or learning new information: try to keep these to the time of day most conducive to concentration, which is usually in the morning. Keep your afternoons and evenings for less intellectual activities. If you’re distracted while new information is coming in, jot down what’s going through your head straight away so you won’t forget what is important.
Staying active
Physical activity – along with a wellbalanced diet – is really the key to maintaining good health and staying independent for as long as possible. But that doesn’t mean you have to spend hours at the gym doing bodybuilding. Small, regular daily activities can make all the difference. True independence for seniors means needing to be able to stretch, bend, stand up, carry objects and get around without difficulty. It is possible to achieve and maintain this kind of flexibility for a person of absolutely any age: all you have to do is keep two little words in mind: stretching and walking. Get into the habit of stretching gently when you get out of bed. Stretch your

Regular physical activity is an important part of staying healthy and feeling young. arms and bend your body and your knees. To improve posture and balance, try to balance on one foot, then on the other, holding the pose for at least 20 seconds. When it becomes easy for you, add 10 seconds. Doing this will improve muscle tone, reinforce the strength of your ankles and diminish your risk of falling. Make the most of every chance you get to be more active. At the grocery store, carry your bags yourself. Walk as often as you can, taking a little stroll around your neighborhood every day or picking up your mail on foot. Use the stairs instead of an escalator, even if you can only go up or down slowly. With a couple of short walks every day, you can easily accumulate 30 minutes or more of moderate exercise without forcing yourself. Walking and stretching regularly will help you enjoy your daily activities, which will help you, in turn, to feel better all around. Check out the leisure services programs offered by the City of White Rock and City of Surrey; there are dozens of fitness classes and activities designed specifically for people over the age of 50. Not only are programs a great way to stay fit, you can also meet new friends along the way.

Don’t let arthritis put an end to your hobbies Individuals with arthritis are often stuck between a rock and a hard place. Doctors want people to exercise to keep up the range of motion in affected joints. However, even some limited movements can cause pain and suffering to those with arthritis. Furthermore, individuals with arthritis may shy away from the activities they once enjoyed because the pain is simply too overwhelming. Instead of simply sitting on the couch watching television, there are a number of different things arthritis sufferers can do to pass the time and reconnect with past hobbies and interests. It might just take a little re-outfitting of the tools that are needed to participate.
activity can also be the exercise. Using a pottery wheel or handmolding doughs and other modeling media can be a way to stretch and work the hands and fingers. Using paintbrushes equipped with wider grips can make painting possible. Mural painting is another option. Again, those with arthritis can choose tools with wide handles to make grasping easier. Large designs on walls or canvases will be easier to handle than smaller pieces.
Cooking
Gardening
Gardening is a popular pastime for people of all ages. But the repetitive motions of digging and tilling as well as gripping a multitude of tools can take the joy out of the hobby. People with arthritis can make some changes. Raised garden beds or container gardening eliminates the stooping and bending associated with traditional gardening. With containers, individuals can place the containers on a counter or table

With the right tools, gardening is one activity that shouldn’t be affected by arthritis pain. and do all the work at a comfortable height. Choosing low-maintenance plants is another option. Plants that don’t require as much pruning or repotting are good for those with arthritis. Also, tools with larger grips and handles can be easier on arthritic hands.

Crafting Many people with arthritis find the fine-detail work they grew accustomed to is not very comfortable with arthritis. Instead, there are many other crafts that can be practical. Ceramics are one craft where the
Cooking and baking is an art form that can be enjoyed by anyone. Furthermore, with ergonomic spoons, ladles and other kitchen tools, it has never been more convenient or less labor-intensive to be an accomplished home chef. Baking and pastry creation is one area where people can show off creative skills. For those who love to bake but have trouble kneading and working dough, food processors, bread machines and kitchen stand mixers can take the work out of those processes. Having arthritis doesn’t mean a person has to give up on the activities he or she enjoys. It merely involves making a few adjustments that can help make these hobbies enjoyable.

Poetry reading Award-winning poet, educator and scholar Susan McCaslin (Lifting The Stone) will read from her latest volume of poetry, Demeter Goes Skydiving, at Semiahmoo Arts ongoing literary series Readings By The Salish Sea, tonight (May 25) at 7:30 p.m. at the Pelican Rouge, Central Plaza. In her new book, McCaslin revisits the Demeter-Persephone myth of Ancient Greece and finds within it a profound mother-daughter trauma which she reclothes with unapologetic modernity. The sequence of poems follows the abduction of the maiden Persephone into a not-unfamiliar culture full of distorted body images, addiction, high anxiety and rampant consumerism. McCaslin’s lyrics have been described as “by turns profound, hilarious and devastating” as Demeter – an enduring symbol of motherly love – searches for her daughter in a spiritual winter wasteland of health clubs, paparazzi and so-called reality shows. Admission to the reading is free. For more information, visit www.semiahmooarts.com or call 604-536-8333.
Shari Ulrich Two-time Juno award winner and BC Entertainment Hall of Fame inductee Shari Ulrich will perform an intimate concert at Blue Frog Studios tonight (May 25) at 7:30 pm. – another of the busy studio’s Live At The Blue Frog series of recorded concerts. Ulrich has been an unflagging fixture in Canadian music since the early ’70s; first heard in the quirky Pied Pumkin playing fiddle, mandolin, dulcimer, flute and sax. Her subsequent defection to the Hometown Band and a high-profile launch to national

recognition led to her solo career as a singer songwriter. Ulrich’s soaring vocals are a memorable feature of such hit songs such as (Fear of) Flying, I’m Ready and She Remembers. Her recent release of Find Our Way is her seventh solo album, and her 19th appearance on disc, counting her work with Pied Pumkin, UHF, and her recent collaboration with Barney Bentall and Tom Taylor. Her live shows in the past eight years – as well as her new CD – have been enhanced by the contribution of her daughter, Julia Graff, on violin, piano, guitar, accordion and vocals. Graff, just finishing her third year at McGill, will be joining Ulrich in her summer of touring, along with McGill classmate Ted Littlemore on piano and vocals. Tickets are available at www. bluefrogstudios.ca/newshows.html

is in support of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, with all ticket proceeds and 20 per cent of the night’s sales going to the organization. Funds will also be raised through a door-prize raffle including five gift baskets and numerous gift certificates donated by local businesses. The fashion show will preview the latest in the boutique’s spring and summer collections for men and women, including international and local designers Papillon, Red Berry, Civil Society and Lovposh, plus children’s clothing by Deux par deux, Desigual and Eliane et Lena. Among community sponsors are Birdies and Buckets Family Golf Centre; Pure Medical Clinic and Laser Spa, Shannon’s Hair Lounge, Spiral Dance Company, CC Trainers, the Strecker Family and The Jam Room. Tickets ($10) are available in-store or online at info@ boutiquevasanji.ca
Murder mystery Another one of Trevor Jenkins’ Grim Reaper interactive murder mystery evenings will come to Beecher Street Cafe, Crescent Beach Thursday (May 26, 7 p.m.). Audience members are invited
to demonstrate their potentially Academy Award-winning skills as actors in the new plotline, continuing Jenkins’ trend of putting a slightly risque spin on the English drawing room murder mystery. The last two shows, in September and February, drew a total of 135 people to the restaurant to participate in the fun. This time around, the show revolves around a group of unscrupulous adult film makers trying to muscle their way into Crescent Beach to set up a studio. A body on the floor, clues galore and two supposedly innocent bystanders – who may know far more than they’re letting on – will provide ample scope for amateur sleuths who want to play detective between the courses. For reservations ($55 per person), call 604-538-1964.

THE TOUR DE WHITE ROCK PRESENTS:
FROM AN EXPERT RIDING the AMATEUR HILL CLIMB You’ve heard about the Just Giver Amateur Hill Climb starting off the Tour de White Rock on Friday July 15th. You’ve checked out Buena Vista hill (starting behind White Rock Muffler, to the finish line just east of Foster Street), and you’re considering signing up for this new Amateur Hill Climb. Well, here are some ideas on how to successfully complete your first Hill Climb. The best way to train for the hill climb is….you guessed it, by climbing hills-- ‘specificity’ plays a major part in successful training, i.e. if you want to race up the hill in good time, then you need to replicate this type of riding in your training. However, there are 3 considerations to take into account before you get started. These are: • Strength of the rider (or the power that he/she is able to produce during a pedal stroke). • Gearing (of the bicycle). • Planning and strategy (a training program). The strength of the rider (or the power of the ‘engine’) plays a major part in how well you will do. And genetics plays a large part in this equation. A sprinter is generally a different body type to the hill climbers (the former tend to have stocky builds with powerful legs, strong arms and shoulders,
Barry Dalziel is a nationally certified (NCCP level) bicycle coach and has been coaching for more than 10 years. Barry has been Head Marshal with the Tour de White Rock for more than 13 years, owns a bike shop, doesn’t have a car, rides everything, and bikes everywhere. info@southsurreycycles.com
that enable them to generate large amounts of power for very short periods of time, whereas the climbers tend to be smaller and lighter built with the ability to ‘float’ up the mountains, generating less power output but for longer periods of time). Unlike many other athletic sports, there is an equipment component to bike racing-- the bicycle. The bicycle (more importantly, the gearing of the bicycle) is of great importance when considering hill climbing. Modern day bikes have up to 30 gears with most adult bikes having anywhere from 3 to 27 gears. Choosing the ‘right’ gears to climb the hills is extremely important. Planning and strategy play an important part in any racing activity. And for those with a busy schedule, it’s even more important. The first step is to have an end in mind—and that happens to be the Amateur Hill Climb, so that all your preparations come to fruition on race day. The definition of a successful hill climb can be just finishing, or being focused on a specific time to complete the Climb. Whatever your aim, this becomes part of your focus for successfully completing the Hill Climb. Next article will focus upon a training schedule and race day preparation. Grab your bicycle and sign up to race the Amateur Hill Climb on Friday, July 15th. Registration is open to men and women 18+ and can be done by contacting White Rock Leisure Services at 604.541.2199. Stick around after you race to enjoy watching the pro’s climb Buena Vista! This is the fourth installment of an 11 week series of articles presented by local experts in the field of Fitness, Cycling, Nutrition and Psychology. Each of our experts will bring a slightly different perspective to help you implement and maintain a healthy lifestyle, and to help you make better and healthier choices in your life.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
Earl Marriott heads to rugby provincials as fifth seed
Mariners run over Yale in Valley final Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
A
ll season long, Adam Roberts has stressed to his Earl Marriott Mariners senior boys rugby team the importance of a good start. Thursday afternoon at South Surrey Athletic Park, they got just that, as the province’s sixth-ranked Mariners jumped on the No. 5 Yale Lions early en route to a 33-15 victory in the triple-A senior boys Fraser Valley championship game. “Yale, like us and a lot of teams, doesn’t really play that well when they have to come from behind,” Roberts said. “Our guys just play better on their front foot, when they’re out there imposing their will on the other team, and dictating the play “If we can do that, we can play with absolutely anybody.” Against Yale – who beat EMS by three in the two teams’ only other meeting this year – Earl Marriott put the pressure on early, scoring three first-half tries – all of which were converted by Quinton Wilms – compared to Yale, which managed just one penalty kick in the opening half. “The first 10, 15 minutes was big for us,” said Roberts. “We really dominated on the set-pieces, and the scrums.” The Mariners’ attack also kept the Lions hemmed in their own half of the field for much of the opening frame, and that pressure led directly to two scores, which came as a result of Yale turnovers or miscues. Ian McMaster led the Mariners with two tries, with others being tallied by Mike Bouchard, Connor Bouchard and Liam Beaulieu. Wilms was also four-for-five on conversion attempts. The win was welcome relief for many members of the Mariners, who’ve run up against the same group of Lions in previous years, with less-than-perfect results. Yale beat EMS two years ago for the Fraser Valley junior title, and also beat the Peninsula squad in the Grade 8 game. “I think it meant a lot to some

But unlike previous years, where a Fraser Valley title would have been celebrated voraciously, this edition of the Mariners took it in stride. Instead, they’re already looking forward to provincial championships, the coached added,
which begin May 28. “They were right fired up, sure, but where our team in other years may have been satisfied with winning the Valley, this year’s team seems a bit more subdued – like they know there are bigger things ahead,” Roberts added. “I think these guys know that they have the talent, and the

opportunity, to really do some damage at provincials. That’s what they’re focused on.” Marriott will be the fifth seed at the provincial tournament, and will face off in Round 1 against the yetto-be-determined 12th seed. Despite being one of the tournament’s higher seeds, the Mariners were not afforded
the luxury of a home game for Satellite Saturday – the first round of provincials, which are played throughout the province. Instead, EMS will travel up the Coquihalla to Kamloops, as they did last year. “It’s OK, it’ll be fun,” said Roberts of the road trip. “We’ll play anybody, anywhere.”

sports Surrey women’s team now preps for national soccer championships
SUSTAINING PARTNER
Eight straight titles for United Rick Kupchuk Black Press
After winning seven provincial championships in a row, Surrey United could be excused for looking past the competition. And after dispatching three opponents by a combined 13-0 score to win an eighth consecutive Provincial Cup, Martin Foden admits the women’s soccer team considers the achievement “just a stepping stone” towards their ultimate goal. “For us, the aspirations are beyond the Provincial Cup,” said United’s executive director, explaining that anything other than a national championship would be a disappointment. United has won one gold medal, three silvers and three bronze at the national championship tournament. Always a contender, the team the Surrey club will send to next fall’s competition in Montreal might be the best-ever United squad. Although it has been undefeated in seasons before, the team has never had a perfect year – until now. United won all 12 Metro Women’s Soccer League games, outscoring the opposition 47-11. They then won five cup games by a 22-3 aggregate before beginning

Provincial Cup play. tered the Vancouver team. They won that honour earlier “The player of the game was this month with a 1-0 win over their goalie,” said Foden. “She Westside FC, a score that flat- made several good saves to
keep Westside in it. They put a free kick off our goal post, but I think that was their only shot at our net the whole game.” A shot from Rachael Pelat deflected off a Westside defender and into the goal early in the first half, which stood up as the winner. United dominated play the rest of the way, but couldn’t add to their total. Not that they needed to. Sparked by the play of Randee Hermus and Kate Qually in the midfield, Surrey controlled the game throughout. “Everyone was solid,” said Foden. “Randee and Kate showed their experience in the middle, but no one was really spectacular, and no one played poorly. Everyone did their job well.” United will play at the nationals Oct. 12-17 in Montreal, but despite not playing competitive soccer as a team until next fall, Foden isn’t too concerned. “We’re used to it,” he said. “We’ll take most of the summer off, and get back together for training in August. Then we start the (Metro league) season in September. “You could argue we’ll be fresher than the other teams, who will just be finishing their seasons.”

sports Southridge girls beat St. John Brebeuf to capture Fraser Valley trophy
Offence leads Storm to win Nick Greenizan
ARE YOU NEW IN TOWN or recently had a baby?
Sports Reporter
Carina Lauzon scored a hat-trick Thursday to lead the Southridge Storm to a convincing 6-1 win over the rival St. John Brebeuf Bears in the senior girls single-A Fraser Valley soccer final. Southridge’s offensive attack – put on display in front of their home fans at the South Surrey school – was in high gear right from the game’s opening minute, as the home team jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first half. In addition to Lauzon’s three, Southridge also got goals from Tanvir Aujla, Julia Lauzon and Shannon Fraser. St. John Brebeuf scored their lone goal just a few minutes before halftime, when a shot from a bad angle – nearly along the end line – ricocheted off the Storm’s keeper and bounced into the net. Both teams had previously qualified for provincials, scheduled for June 2-4 in Victoria.

Lexus RX 350 still sets the mid-luxury CUV bar. By Rob Beintema Metroland Newspapers Carguide Magazine.
It’s hard to believe that it’s been more than a decade since the debut of one of the first of the luxury crossovers, the Lexus RX that was unveiled in 1998. Since then, we’ve traced the evolution of the RX 300 through the RX 330 follow-up, and up to the most recent, third generation RX 350 model. Those revisions are still fresh enough to talk about, marking a significant stage in the constant refinement of the RX, a vehicle now counted by Lexus as the most successful luxury crossover, with worldwide sales pushing past the one million mark. This latest generation RX 350 has evolved with a more powerful and yet more fuel-efficient engine, a new sixspeed automatic transmission, a freshened exterior face and new interior design, and has been upgraded with a long list of added amenities and user-friendly technologies. And it’s nice to know that this sum total of luxury and quality has been proudly produced right here in Canada, at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada (TMMC) in Cambridge, Ont. Lexus Canada stresses that even the design of the RX 350 was influenced by team members at TMMC, tweaking Canadian winter-ready features like the rear windshield wiper that’s integrated into the rear spoiler and providing input on a revised towing hitch. The RX 350 is a little larger than its predecessor, longer and wider with a marginal one-inch stretch of its wheelbase. The vehicle’s track measurement is wider as well, designed to improve handling traits, also bolstered by dropping the engine mass deeper into the chassis for a lower centre of gravity. Other platform improvements include a revised front suspension and a new double-wishbone rear suspension that replaces MacPherson struts for better handling. The new suspension is less intrusive as well, adding cargo room inside the vehicle with width between the suspension towers increased by nearly six inches. A standard electric power steering system and bigger brakes round out the handling improvements under the skin. The RX 350 stands on standard 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels wearing 235/60R18 mud and snow tires. Optional 19-inch wheels with lower profile 235/55R19 tires are available. Lexus brochures boast of the “bold new version of L-finesse design” but let’s face it, exterior styling drama is not exactly Lexus’ strong point, although broader

“shoulder” and sharper lines and creases have at least alleviated some of this ubiquitous CUV’s jellybean blandness. I’ll reserve the gold star award for the interior design, which is where the Lexus RX 350 really shines. My upscale tester featured creamy soft-touch leather upholstery and beautiful walnut wood accents on the steering wheel, console and doors, along with just enough chrome highlights to add to the overall feel of elegance. There is nothing to gripe about here. Um, except for the ridiculously hard-to-reach USB outlet in the bottom of the console. But every vehicle is allowed one foreheadslapping example of idiocy and that minor glitch is the only negative I noted in my test time. The overall package is simply and overwhelmingly loaded with pluses. Riding in the RX 350 or just sitting there parked, smelling the leather, feeling the wood, letting your eyes wander over the luxurious ambiance of the interior, it’s hard to imagine ever feeling the need to upgrade to any other brand. There are goodies galore inside the RX 350. The long list of standard equipment includes 10 airbags, an eight-way power driver’s seat, dual zone auto climate control, power tilt and telescopic steering with audio buttons, cruise control, smart key and push button start, power heated side mirrors with integrated puddle lamps and signals, a 6CD/AM/FM/XM 9-speaker audio system and more. If that’s not enough, customers can upgrade through a series of six option packages, each one building on the previous package’s contents until you come to the ultimate luxury level with almost $16K worth of options, featuring everything from dual DVD entertainment to blind side monitoring, a heads-up display, Navigation system and a 15-speaker Mark Levinson surround sound audio system, to name just a few of the additions. I know I’m talking a lot about the overall changes that happened for 2010 but because of those recent revisions, there really isn’t much new in the 2011 model. The only changes for 2011 are all-weather mats that have been added to the standard equipment list and a 12V power outlet that was moved outside of the console. Yes, there’s been some tweaking of the option packages for 2011 along with the usual yearly exterior colour palette changes and the starting price has bumped up incrementally by $150 to $47,050. Under the hood, a 3.5-litre V6 engine mated to a six-speed sequential-shift automatic transmission powers the Lexus RX 350. All-wheel drive is standard in Canada although a front-wheel drive version is still offered in the U.S. Power is rated at 275 hp at 6,200 rpm and 257 lb/ft of

The 2011 Lexus RX 350, pristine in Starfire Pearl, a luxury utility vehicle that carries over for 2011 after last year’s revisions inside and out. This made-in-Canada crossover blends elegant ambiance with a long list of luxury and technological optional packages.
The RX 350 can be as upscale as a customer wants, as tested, wrapped in creamy parchment leather, accented by walnut wood grain with just enough chrome highlights to add a touch of elegance.
torque, with most of that grunt available from 2,300 to 6,100 rpm. That’s a slight bump up from the predecessor’s 270 hp and 251 lb/ft. Working together with the more efficient six-speed tranny, instead of the previous five-speed version, the RX 350 manages to improve fuel efficiency, despite a porky 115 kg (420 lb) increase in curb weight. Fuel economy is officially rated at 11.6/8.2L/100km (city/hwy). I know I haven’t mentioned the RX 450h hybrid version of this crossover but that unique powertrain makes it another story for another time. For 2011, the always-evolutionary Lexus RX 350 carries over with the long list of recent performance and posh interior appointment changes that blend with leading edge technology and impeccable quality to make this premium crossover an easy favourite with customers looking for luxury with a made-in-Canada tag.
