Second homicide within a week in South Surrey

Victim alerted son before slaying Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A 51-year-old man is dead following the second targeted homicide in South Surrey within a week. According to a man who identified himself as the victim’s son, he knew someone was after him. Police were called to a rural property at 311 172 St. at approximately 1:50 a.m. Saturday, after a man responding to a distress call from his father discovered him suffering from “significant and severe

injuries.” When officers arrived, the critically injured victim, identified as Donald Robert Reid, was lying in the driveway. Reid received emergency medical treatment, but died in hospital shortly after. Late Saturday afternoon, Reid’s son told a Peace Arch News photographer that his father had called him around 1 a.m. and indicated people were coming for him. The son rushed to the scene to find

his father lying wounded in the driveway. He called 911 and tried to resuscitate him, he said. Before he could say more, the son was driven from the scene in the front seat of an unmarked police car. Several evidence bags could be seen in the vehicle’s back seat. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, Surrey RCMP’s Serious Crimes Unit and the Lower Mainland District Forensic Identification Section are investigating. Police taped off two blocks of the

the home late Saturday afternoon, and were still on the scene as of Tuesday morning. Police believe the murder was drug-related. A small grow-op was located on the property, Sgt. Peter Thiessen said in an official statement. Thiessen described the site as a “significant and extensive homicide scene.” Reid was a tenant of the property, Thiessen noted. see page 2

Whale watchers get an eyeful Sunday, as one of two whales that have been in Semiahmoo Bay since early April surfaces. The giants have drawn a regular crowd of whale-watching tour boats to the bay lately. Bluff residents who have reported seeing as many as seven boats around the whales at one time – and spotting kayakers who paddle within a few feet – say they are concerned the mammals may be inadvertently pushed too close to shore.

Russ Hiebert is fighting back against media reports that suggest he’s a spendthrift. The Conservative MP’s expenses for the 20082009 fiscal year were $637,093, the highest for a B.C.

MP focuses on travel costs from page 1 Akin chose to publish the numbers without disclosing the whole story,” Hiebert wrote. Contacted Tuesday, Akin, Canwest’s national affairs correspondent, said the point of his article was “merely to rank” MPs’ spending. Hiebert’s ranking has since been widely reported in other media. Other information released about Hiebert’s 2008-2009 expenses indicate his bills in other areas were also high in comparison to other B.C. MPs , including costs for printing ($81,888) and telephone service ($23,148).

But Hiebert maintains his travel bill (a total $220,087 in 2008-2009) was the most significant cost, noting B.C. MPs regularly incur the highest travel costs because their communities are furthest from Ottawa. “It appears that of the MPs with young children, I live the furthest,” he said. Such expenses, he said, are under the oversight of the House and have “been encouraged by my more senior colleagues, both Conservatives and Liberals, as they appreciate the negative consequences that separation can have on an MP’s family life.”

Emotional inquest ends without advice Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The June 2008 death of David James Stitt was accidental. Jurors in the three-day inquest announced their determination late Thursday afternoon, after mulling evidence from 21 subpoenaed witnesses who described everything from the bizarre behaviour that first prompted a neighbour’s call to police that June 17, to the violent struggle that preceded Stitt’s collapse and death. And while Stitt’s 28-year-old son, who is also named David, said he could see room for change – after listening to everything that trans-

Violence is always part of the picture, she said. Hall said an ongoing study suggests sedation may help prevent death. One of the challenges in that is the majority of paramedics are not certified to sedate patients.

While Hall said education is “the most important thing we can do at this point,” she stopped short of recommending such training be mandatory for first-responders. The junior Stitt also spoke to the court Thursday. He told the jury he had understood his father had stopped using drugs, although he did drink “a fair bit.” He last saw his father about two months before he died. The pair had made plans to live and work together while his father’s girlfriend visited family in Hong Kong for two months. There were no signs his father was having see page 4

Vandalism rocks Ocean Park area Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter

An Ocean Park merchant is fed up with vandalism in his neighbourhood after three rocks were thrown through his windows. “They’re three huge rocks – boulders,” said Joe Bubyn, owner of Christopher’s Gift Gallery. “They’re about three pounds each... it wasn’t just a joke – they were meaning to do serious damage, (considering) the size of the rocks.” Police were called to Bubyn’s store, 12894 16 Ave., at about 7:40 a.m. May 15, after someone spotted the damage. It is believed the culprits struck overnight. They broke two windows, and shattered the glass front door – causing damage Bubyn estimated at about $3,000. But it could’ve been much worse, he said. “If the rocks had hit at a slightly different angle, they would’ve broken a different (pane) of glass, and I’ve got about $2,000 in glass merchandise behind that window,” he said. “We’re having a bit of an issue here.”

Two TransLink buses travelling through dalism is not a new problem for the area. “We’ve had this problem for a long time, Ocean Park were also targeted by rockthrowing vandals this month – one of them and we’re just tired of the hooliganism, and on the night Bubyn’s business was hit. we want people to know about it,” she said.

B.C.’s highest court has struck down Surrey’s grow-op program, saying it infringes the right to unreasonable search and seizure. Surrey fire Chief Len Garis says that while the ruling will add some time to the process in order to obtain an administrative warrant, the program will continue. Surrey embarked on the Electrical Fire and Safety Initiative in 2004, and has dramatically decreased the number of marijuana grow operations in the city. Under the system, municipal teams – including fire, bylaws and police – visit homes where BC Hydro reports higherthan-normal power consumption. The occupants get a warning notice that they have 72 hours to allow an inspection. Most of the time, grow operators have packed up and left by the time inspectors arrive. In Arkinstall vs. City of Surrey in 2008, a B.C. Supreme Court Judge ruled Surrey could continue the program without police, using municipal teams to spot the errant wiring. But the B.C. Court of Appeal ruled last week that the program violates the basic Charter rights of residents even to allow a municipal inspector into the home. “There is a ‘hierarchy of places’, atop of which is the home. Importantly for our purposes, the hierarchy decreases in the level of expected privacy as one moves from the home to the perimeter space around the home, to commercial space, to private cars, to schools, and then, at the bottom, to prisons,” Chief Justice Lance Finch writes, adding Surrey’s searches are extremely invasive. “They involve walking through the entire residence, searching electrical panels, and very involved searches of attic spaces, and crawl spaces.” Finch notes in his finding that while law allows local inspectors to examine electrical wiring, in this case “they infringe the appellants’ rights under s. 8 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.” The finding was unanimous among the five Appeal Court justices. While details haven’t been completely flushed out, Garis believes the teams will now simply apply for administrative warrants, then post notices that they’ll execute that search order in 72 hours. In all, he believes the city will have a better system as a result.

from page 3 trouble, he said. “He seemed in good spirits, had a good job.” With the help of a translator, Stitt’s girlfriend, Man Fong, also said Stitt smoked marijuana, but understood his use of more serious drugs was in the past. She had known him for about 10 years. Fong described Stitt as “a nice man” who had a good relationship with her own son. In response to questions, Fong said she had never seen Stitt aggressive toward anyone, nor had she heard him make religious statements to strangers. The court had heard earlier of how Stitt was shouting incoherent statements and religious rhetoric the night police were called. Outside court, before the verdict, the junior Stitt said he would like to see an increase in the number of paramedics who are trained to sedate patients. He also said police dispatchers should be better trained, noting one witness told him the 911 operator he spoke to on the night in question said several times that the scenario being described “didn’t make sense.” That point was not heard by the jury. Stitt said the inquest did bring him relief, answering questions he’d had surrounding his dad’s death. “All this actually cleared up a lot of stuff,” he said. “Just knowing what happened is nice.” Stitt added he has “no hard feelings” towards anyone, a point he made sure Const. Jayne Stewart understood. Stewart was the officer caught in the violent struggle with the elder Stitt outside his Crescent Road home. In recounting the dramatic series of events, an emotional Stewart told of futile efforts to calm the increasingly aggressive Stitt. The junior Stitt said he wanted Stewart to know he is OK with her actions.

Victoria trip A handful of school librarians travelled to Victoria to meet with MLAs Thursday to draw attention to planned cuts to teacherlibrarian positions. The cutbacks are again part of the Surrey School District’s attempt to mitigate a $12.3-million budget shortfall for the 2010-11 school year. The Surrey Teachers’ Association (STA) says in total, Surrey will lose eight teacher-librarians as the specialist teachers are reassigned to the classroom. “We know students who are passionate about reading are more likely to succeed in school, and regular modeling of reading strategies and exposure to inspirational fiction and riveting nonfiction are essential to igniting that passion,” Moffatt said. Moffatt said teacher-librarians play a critical role in developing critical-thinking skills. “Students must be able to identify what is relevant and factual when presented with the large volume of information available in print and on the Internet.” At a time when the provincial government’s goal is to make B.C. the most literate jurisdiction in North America, such cuts don’t make sense, said Moffatt.

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

editorial

Inquest result an opportunity lost urors at last week’s inquest into the 2008 death of South Surrey resident David James Stitt made no recommendations for preventing similar deaths in the future. And while there is certainly no demand that a jury present suggestions – be they changes to policy, training standards, police systems or the like – it’s unfortunate nothing could be taken from the three days of evidence heard. Police, firefighters, medical experts, a neighbour, a witness and those close to Stitt – 21 witnesses in all – gave evidence at the Burnaby court. Along the way, jury members had several questions, including: why a lone female officer responded to the call; the number of patrol cars assigned to police a district the size of South Surrey; if fully equipped first-aid kits were standard in police cars (after hearing how two police officers could not locate air masks in their vehicles’ kits); how long it took first responders to arrive at the scene; and more. They heard from Const. Jayne Stewart and Cpl. Dwayne Croll of how Stewart’s appeals for help over the police radio were silenced by discussion on another file, and how there was no way to override that less-significant discussion; and, how only paramedics staffing a few Advanced Life Support ambulance units are qualified to sedate patients. They also heard – from both an officer and a doctor – how sedating patients with excited delirium as early as possible in the medical crisis may be key to them surviving it. An expert even commented on both the importance and lack of education in recognizing the signs of excited delirium. And yet, there were no recommendations. A coroner’s inquest is by definition a factfinding exercise. It is also, whenever possible, an opportunity to make recommendations to improve public safety and prevent death in similar circumstances. Could Stitt’s death have been prevented? It is impossible to know. Can a similar tragedy be avoided? That too, cannot be answered with certainty. But surely there are things that could be learned from his death, things that could be done to better the odds for the next person affected by excited delirium, or for the next officer responding to a report of a disturbance. If no one speaks up when an opportunity such as this presents itself, one could argue the only certainty for the future is other inquests into similar deaths.

People love it. The state is currently using it to consider legalizing and taxing marijuana. Oh yes, and California is broke. Governor Arnold Schwarzennegger is among those who say the state is handcuffed by spending and tax rules imposed by voter referenda. One of its more notorious efforts was Proposition 13, which ended an upward spiral of property taxes by slashing them 57 per cent. The government of Orange County, one of the richest places in the world, declared bankruptcy in 1994. Back here in B.C., you may have heard that some national chain stores have had a bit of difficulty with the PST exemptions that have been attached in recent years. Stores have inadvertently charged PST for things like fire extinguishers, and remitted it to Victoria. Also gone are exemptions for over-thecounter medications, adult-sized clothes for bigger kids, caulking and insulation. B.C. residents can manage without these political sops, the main result of retaining provincial authority over sales taxes.

We’re in for a bumpy ride Editor: Re: Subject: Shake, rattle and try to roll, May 19 letters. I refer to the letter from Al Renflesh concerning the “rumble strip” on 16 Avenue from Anderson to Best streets and have to agree with the views expressed. This work is an absolute atrocity, and whoever carried it out should be thoroughly ashamed of the quality of the work. I am not sure who carried this out but assume it was work contracted by the City of White Rock – but may be Surrey – in any event payment should never have been made for this shoddy work until it was completed properly. I see drivers constantly switching lanes to avoid the uneven trench which is a dangerous practice in this high-traffic area. It would be beneficial if your investigative reporters could look into this and see what, if anything, can be done to correct this situation. Larry A. Davis, White Rock Editor’s note: The City of White Rock reports BC Hydro contractors will soon be repairing the damage.

– and west to include the whole Peninsula of Crescent Beach and Ocean Park and maybe Morgan Creek as well. I guess that’s going a bit too far. I don’t think that Surrey would ever consider that. The point I’m trying to make is the same old one, that White Rock cannot remain the “City of White Rock” as it once was. Nothing ever stays the same. It either has to grow or becomes stagnant. D. Barros, White Rock

and drop off. Even though my appointment ended earlier than expected, they were there. The drivers are very helpful, patient and courteous. And though it was a trip I had not been looking forward to, I was very happy that I had been able to avail myself of this transportation service. Thank you, HandiDart. M.E. Davidson, White Rock

with the financial support of the community. As literacy is a basic necessity for brain development and conceptual learning, there are many longterm benefits to our communities, including involving the whole family increasing their literacy skills, more business for local book stores, more use of the libraries and an excellent foundation for school education. I understand there have already been inquiries from individuals and businesses as to how best to financially support this initiative. With a low cost per student every one is able to get involved, with the obvious benefit of facilitating more kids being involved. My hat comes off to Pedersen and to the club members. This international literacy program is endorsed at the highest international levels by both Kiwanis International and Rotary International. J. Clifford Grant, White Rock

Nothing ever stays the same Editor: Re: Community feel still lives on, May 14 letters. Yet another White Rock business – Shoppers Drug Mart – is about to head for the Surrey side of the street, and I am sure others will follow suit. Letter-writer Alison M. Smith seems to be a well-meaning person with a positive attitude, however, let’s get real. In this day and age, when it comes to business, “loyal and supportive” don’t go very far. Businesses are drawn to the new areas where there is new construction. Two years ago it was South Point; this year it’s Grandview Corners; who knows where it will be next? But I hardly think it will come back to White Rock. People enjoy going to the new areas where they will find new shops. It’s an adventure for them. White Rock is such a small community, with not many businesses, part of them on the waterfront being seasonal. Rather than creating new businesses, it seems to be losing them. And then there is the same old problem of how do we get more money into the city coffers, will we charge more for parking or raise the taxes, what else can they do to keep up with rising costs? Too bad White Rock and South Surrey couldn’t hook up. Why not? People who live in South Surrey like to claim they live in White Rock, they don’t want to be associated with the big city of Surrey. Seriously, wouldn’t it be better if the boundary would be a little further east – like King George

Trees along BNSF land on Marine Drive are trimmed earlier this year, after a request from area residents.

Not all in our city treated equally e-mail: An open letter to White Rock council. Equality of all citizens is a primary principle of democracy. The City of White Rock’s new tree bylaw creates two unequal classes of citizens, some who can cut, prune and top trees at will, and others who need to get permission to do any of this. Can you imagine a bylaw that mandates garbage pickup on one side of the street but not on the other, or maybe one side of the street needs to have a building permit and the other side can build anything they want without having to get a permit or consult with the city? The council has recently commissioned two studies at some expense to the taxpayers, the Integrated Storm Water Management Plan and the Community Climate Action Plan. Both plans strongly suggest a larger tree canopy would greatly enhance the effectiveness of both these plans. It would seem to be a great waste of the taxpayers’ money to not only ignore this advice, but to act in direct opposition to that advice.

We should be enhancing the tree canopy not diminishing it. There are many cities in Canada with plans to greatly increase tree canopies to help with both storm-water management and greenhouse gases. Our city council has a mandate to create bylaws that strengthen and build community. I believe that a fair tree bylaw should be city-wide incorporating all our trees and all our citizens. Andrew Schulz, White Rock

Spring break two weeks next year Sheila Reynolds Black Press

Students in Surrey will again get a twoweek spring break next year. Board of education members voted unanimously Thursday to support the change to the school calendar. It’s estimated cutting the additional five days from the coming school year will save Surrey between $600,000 and $800,000. Spring break 2011 will now go from March 21 to April 1,

with students returning to class April 4. During the current school year, spring break was not only extended, but an extra non-instructional day was added after the Nov. 11 Remembrance Day holiday, resulting in a six-day reduction and a savings of about $1 million. The board’s decision to extend spring break in 2011 followed a 30-day consultation period with parents and staff.

Enforcement increased South Surrey RCMP is ramping up enforcement as part of summertime efforts to curb crime in and around the Peninsula’s parks, beaches and school grounds. Part of the police crime-reduction strategy for the area, the parks patrol will tackle such issues as public liquor consumption, drunkenness and bonfires. Officers will have zero tolerance for bylaw, Motor Vehicle Act and Criminal Code infractions, said Const. Kenn Meglic. As well, with warm weather an increasingly regular occurrence, and outdoor activities on the rise, South Surrey RCMP are reminding residents thieves don’t take the sum-

mer off. Garages are a key focus of the crime prevention advisory, Meglic said, noting “a good percentage” of break-ins occur through unlocked or even open garage doors. As the door connecting the garage to the house is typically the most insecure door in the home, Meglic said, it should never be left unlocked. Meglic also advised against leaving garage-door openers or valuables visible inside vehicles, and encouraged residents to lock their vehicles even when they are parked in a garage. Community policing volunteers are available to conduct home-security assessments. For more, call 604-599-7810.

As a child, to see her doing that, it was pretty amazing.” While Loewen left an emotional mark on Joybells through her interaction with the children, she also left a physical one, in the form of four murals she painted in each of the dormitories. see page 12

Fundraiser to benefit orphanage from page 11 Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been five months since she returned to the Lower Mainland, and Loewen still thinks of the orphanage often. She hopes to return to India, but isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure for how long. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Part of me thinks maybe thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m meant to be, part of me thinks I should just go back for a visit.â&#x20AC;? Whatever the case, she is continuing to support the orphanage with a fundraising party June 6 at the Marine Drive restaurant where she works, Deluxe, which is donating food for the event. Proceeds will directly benefit Joybells, Loewen said, noting it costs $50 a month to care for one child, and that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cover school supplies. She also hopes the money will help with a number of projects at the site, such as the construction of a pipeline between the orphanage and the property where water was struck; implementing solar panels to introduce an alternative energy source and remedy constant power shortages; and erecting a new building for classrooms, so the floor they are currently on can be used to separate the boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

HMS Pinafore One of the all-time favourites of the Savoy repertoire, HMS Pinafore, continues its voyage 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 a 3 p.m. matinee May 29.

Nancy Walker 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, who works locally with such musicians as Jodi Proznick, Tilden Webb and Wendy Bollard. 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 instrumentral album of the year category for her recording Rainy Days and Mondays. Joining Walker in the concert will be regular sidemen Ted Quinlan (guitar) and Kieran Overs (bass). For tickets ($28) and information, call 604536-8333 or visit www. whiterockartscouncil.com

Concord Retirement Residence

estled on a quiet residential street, surrounded by beautiful, lush greenery and just blocks from picturesque White Rock Beach is Concord Retirement Residence, home by the sea. The charm of this seaside community is evident as soon as you set foot on the grounds, from the warmth of the quaint, 36-unit main building and seven seaside cottages to the well-kept, peaceful courtyard garden, where residents can often be found reading, chatting or just enjoying some fresh air. But the real hidden treasure of Concord isn’t

found in the spacious suites, ocean view dining room or sunny courtyard – it’s in the caring relationship between staff and residents, who have truly made it feel like home. Whether it’s helping a resident to solve a problem or picking up dry cleaning or a carton of milk on their way to work, the staff at Concord are happy to go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure their residents are welltaken care of. And with many of the staff long-term employees, Concord general manager Holly Mackintosh says residents are always sure to see

familiar, smiling faces as they go about their day. “The staff that serve in the dining room are the same people who clean the suites,” Mackintosh explains, noting that with a larger-scale retirement residence, such familiarity wouldn’t be possible. “What that gives the residents is a huge feeling of confidence and comfort.” Another benefit of Concord’s modest size is the specialized service that staff is able to offer residents, such as a selection of home-cooked food to choose from. see page 21

Why choose Westminster House for Senior’s Living?

Westminster House is a unique, faith-based, and accredited residential community. They offer spacious, private one and two bedroom, studio and bed-sitting suites for rent or purchase. Unlike most senior’s residences, they offer an “aging in place philosophy” which allows couples with different needs to stay together. They provide a safe and comfortable home for elderly residents for the “rest of their lives”. This unique approach provides for additional services as care needs change. Westminster House embraces a wellness approach for the needs of residents including full recreation and social programs.

Close-knit, family atmosphere at Concord from page 19 “We have a big board in the kitchen and we keep track of all our residents’ dislikes,” Mackintosh says, adding that even if a resident is feeling like eating something different on any given day, they have options. “They can go right into the kitchen and talk to the chef – everything is very customized.” It is because Concord isn’t a huge retirement residence that convinced Anna Hayes to move here nearly three years ago, when her health began to decline and she found she couldn’t keep up with house and yard work. “The reason I came here is because it’s not too big, it’s really home-like. You know everybody,” Hayes explained from her spacious, sunny apartment on the second floor.

While Hayes did visit other retirement communities in the area, she felt apprehensive about their large size, in comparison to Concord’s close-knit, friendly atmosphere. “To me, what I didn’t like about them is they were too big – three or four floors high, with big long hallways,” she said. “But here, it’s more like a big family house.” Hayes enjoys doing puzzles in the activity room as well as knitting and other crafts, and also takes part in shopping trips and drives of interest aboard Concord’s very own bus. “The bus driver even takes people to the bank and waits while they’re cashing their cheques,” she adds. Maintaining a certain level of independence while having care close at hand was important to Hayes when it came to the transition of moving into her new home at Concord, which she says was remarkably easy. “It was a relief not to have any worries File photos anymore,” she explains. “Once I made Residents share some laughs over an afternoon game of bridge in Concord’s games room, the decision, I accepted everything and one of many fun weekly activities.

Plenty of ways to enjoy warm weather while staying safe Many people look forward to the warm weather, particularly senior citizens. Spending time outdoors can be healthy and refreshing, but seniors exposed to too much sun and heat could be at risk medically. Safety is of utmost concern during the warm weather. Here are some precautions to follow:

• Move slowly: Rushing around in hot weather can cause body temperature to rise more quickly and make you even hotter. Slow down when it is warm and do plenty of relaxing. • Know the ambient temperature indoors: The heat inside can quickly rise. Keep curtains and blinds drawn to reduce the amount of heat from the sun.

If you have an air conditioner or fan, turn it on to cool down the house if the temperature is creeping above 85 F. • Drink plenty of fluids: Beverages such as water, fruit juices, decaffeinated teas and the like can keep you hydrated and in top form. Avoid alcoholic beverages, soft drinks and caffeinated products. • Plan outdoor activities during cooler

hours: If you must spend time outdoors, do so early in the morning or in the evening. • Don’t ignore signs of health problems: If you feel dizzy, have shortness of breath, have stopped sweating, or are confused, it could be heat exhaustion. Call for medical help immediately. -Metro creative

Calling all senior stars

TOURS & CHARTERS

elebrating the depth and diversity of Canadian seniors and proving that talent never slows down, Senior Star is back with regional competitions taking place next month. Presented by Chartwell Senior Housing, the fourth annual singing and musical instrument competition highlights the confidence, spirit and talent of participants who relish the opportunity to share their gift for entertainment. Held across Canada in seniors centres, churches, theatres and residences, the competition is open to anyone who is 65 and over and a Canadian resident. Last year’s regional winner, South Surrey resident Dan Minor, went on to claim second place at the national competition, which took place at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel in Toronto. The top prize in 2009 went to Jeanne Rodrique of Kamloops. The local regional showdown is set to take place at White Rock Baptist Church, 1657 140 St., on Wednesday, June 16 at 7 p.m. At regionals, contestants are given a maximum of five minutes to sing a song, play an instrument or do both, and their performance is videotaped. Musical accompaniment is provided to singing contestants, if required. A panel of three judges, made up

of musical experts, local government officials and media representatives choose the top three local contestants, who will each be recognized with a Senior Star trophy. The first place winners at the regional contest will then have a chance to be one of 10 finalists to compete at the Senior Star nationals, to be held at the historic Carlu in Toronto on Oct. 18. Anybody interested in participating can pick up a registration form at the Peninsula Resort Retirement Living, 2088 152 St., or Crescent Gardens Retirement Community, 1222 King George Blvd.

With one minute remaining, Yale tried a desperation kick, but came up short. “It wasn’t really a makable kick,” Roberts said. “It was a tough one.” The offensive-minded Mariners haven’t played too many tight, low-scoring games this season, but Roberts commended his team for sticking to the game plan and grinding out the win. “Yale are a huge team and their defence is fantastic, so it gets frustrating, but the boys just kept battling and kept after it,” he said. Now, with a Fraser Valley title in their back pocket, the Mariners will look ahead to provincials, which begin Saturday, May 29 at Abbotsford’s Rotary Stadium. The Mariners are the tournament’s fifth seed, and will face Kelowna in the first round. “It’s been an amazing year so far, but the guys can’t just be happy with (the Fraser Valley championship). They have to look beyond that now, to provincials, and make sure they’re ready,” Roberts said.

Historic honour Danielle Lawrie keeps making history. One day after breaking the Pac-10 record with her seventh conference pitcher of the week award, Lawrie, a resident of Langley, became the first player to ever be named the USA Softball national player of the week three times in one season. The senior pitcher for the University of Washington Huskies, Lawrie went 3-0 last week to help her team clinch its first Pac-10 title since 2000. She fired two shutouts in her three starts, including her fourth no-hitter of the season. Altogether, Lawrie, a former White Rock Renegade, allowed just one run and six hits and she struck out at least 10 batters in each game. Lawrie helped the Huskies win the national championship last year, earning MVP honours. She also represented Canada at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.

This year, young minds will be exposed to the ‘Passport to Possibilities’ through imaginative play and exploration. The festival features a high calibre array of national and international performances and some of BC’s ﬁnest performers. Children will participate in interactive arts activities like Storytelling, Circus Arts, Clay Arts, Dance and Music at the Surrey Arts Centre and Bear Creek Park. There will be also be a Community Spirit Stage where Surrey’s emerging talents will be highlighted. Come join us for three days of celebration and sharing our cultural diversity in a warm and welcoming community. See you at the Festival!”

With longer days and warmer weather, more time is spent outdoors. Protection against UV is essential. Regular exposure to UV greatly increases the risk for developing many sight-threatening eye conditions including cataracts, macular degeneration, pterygium, and degeneration of the cornea and retina. Dr. Melanie Sherk, Dr. Cindy Anderson, Dr. Tracy Ertel, Dr. Tracey Curry and Dr. Sally Donaldson are all Doctors of

UV and Your Eyes Optometry. We provide a comprehensive vision and eye health exam. We will recommend the proper prescription, lens style and tint for best visual performance. There are many specific lens colours for different sports and activities. Sunglasses are also available without prescription. Our Sunglass Cove offers an extensive selection of over 250 sunglasses. There are designer brand names like Gucci, Fendi, Armani, Juicy Couture, Michael Kors, Sean John and Coach. We also have popular sport models including Oakley, Maui Jim, Bolle, Adidas, Serengeti, and Nike. With an additional selection of over 1000 designer frames, we can make sunglasses in your prescription. Many of our patients enjoy the convenience of Transitions® lenses. This dynamic

eyewear changes from clear indoors to dark outdoors and blocks 100% of the sun’s harmful UVA and UVB rays. Come in and check out our fabulous selection and great customer service. We have what you typically don’t find when looking for sunglasses-professional expertise! Our clinic faces the Price Smart Foods parking lot at the Semiahmoo Mall. We always welcome new patients.
