leven years ago, Mary Benson nearly died – and all she really wanted to do was quit smoking. Seemingly out of the blue, at age 38, the previously healthy South Surrey woman suffered a major brain injury that doctors could not properly diagnose. They suspected it may have come as a result of a severe allergic reaction to a prescription medication that she had started taking in an attempt to quit her cigarette habit, but no conclusions were ever reached. The injury primarily affected Benson’s right Mary Benson frontal lobe, and there was brain-stem damage as well. As a result, she lost previously learned motor skills – including the ability to walk and alk – and was hospitalized for three weeks. Doctors sent blood work to the Mayo Clinic, o France – all over the world – in an attempt o figure out what was wrong. Though confused, doctors were sure about one thing; the injury was serious. They advised her she may have only three years left to live. The diagnosis upset her family tremendously, but failed to faze Benson. The day they eceived the news, partner Kathy Oxner spent much of it on the phone, relaying the situation while trying to hold back a flood of tears. Late in the evening, with Oxner having ust spoken to Benson’s brother, her partner ntered the room and saw her crying. “What’s the matter, Kath?” Benson asked. “I’m just scared,” was Oxner’s reply. “Don’t listen to them. Nothing’s going to happen to me,” Benson said matter-of-factly. I’m not going to die. I still have things to do.” Looking back on that moment, the now 49-year-old Benson laughs at the memory. “With the brain injury, it’s affected my motions in a lot of ways, and I don’t think dying ever really quite clicked with me. I just

Dying just didn’t seem to be an option for me, I guess.” After her stay in hospital, Benson – who grew up in Manitoba, eventually moving to the Peninsula – was transferred to G.F. Strong Rehabilitation Clinic in Vancouver. For the next 2½ years she participated in an outpatient program, where she embarked on the painstaking process of relearning everything she’d ever known. It was overwhelming. The injury had affected

Simple tasks, such as making coffee or buttering toast, were beyond her. And the outside world – with all its bright lights, commotion and loud noises – suddenly became a strange, scary place. For the first year, she rarely left the house. ••• All her life, Benson had been an athlete. Growing up, she was an avid cross-country see page 8

Dog attacks ‘leave neighbours fearful’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Another dog attack in White Rock has left one pet owner afraid to return. A Keil Street resident told Peace Arch News last week that her Cairn terrier-bichon needed emergency surgery after it was mauled by a beige pit bull in her driveway April 19, just seconds after she had parked and started to unload the car. “This random pit bull… came ripping through the fence and attacked my dog,” said Nichola, who asked that her surname not be published. “Just came and took my dog and just shook it. “I thought I was going to lose my dog for sure.” Nichola said neither she nor the other owner were able to break the pit bull’s hold on 15-pound Olive, however, she managed to yank her five-year-old pet free when the dog briefly loosened its grip. In addition to Olive needing surgery, Nich-

Nichola said others in the neighbourhood worry for the safety of their small pets, as well as for that of young children. One resident has distributed flyers advising of what happened to Olive, she said. Daniel Wong told PAN neighbourhood children are scared to play in their own yards. He called for the province to follow Ontario’s 2005 lead and ban the breed, and encouraged citizens to lobby politicians. “Let them know in no uncertain terms that enough is enough,” Wong wrote in an email. “We’ve had it with vicious dogs holding neighbourhoods hostage.” The incident is the second attack reported in White Rock in six months. A hearing is scheduled for July to determine the fate of a Staffordshire, after a pet was killed Nov. 22.

Man shot in Newton One man is in serious condition in hospital following a shooting in Newton Monday night. Police say they received a report of shots fired in the 14400-block of 68 Avenue around 10:15 p.m. On arrival, officers stopped a newermodel Dodge Caravan and found the passenger had been shot in the abdomen. The 28-year-old victim was taken to hospital and the driver taken into custody. At the same time, police arrested three “persons of interest” after stopping a newer-model Chevy pickup in the 14400-block of 65 Avenue. Further investigation led police to a house in the 14200-block of Hyland Road. The house was taped off and police say a scene “consistent with gunshots being fired” was located. They also located a marijuana grow operation. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP Serious Crime Unit at 604-599-0502.

Dead man identified Police are asking the public for any information after 30-year-old Manbir Singh Kajla of Surrey was gunned down in front of his wife. Just before 11 p.m. last Wednesday, a Sports Utility Vehicle crossed the centre line at 128 Street near 68 Avenue. Kajla got out of his Lexus to confront the driver after it made contact with his car. The man was shot, perhaps several times. His wife, Pavan Sanghera Kajla, was in the car and was unharmed. Homicide investigators are calling on witnesses who may have seen a white SUV – possibly a Ford Explorer – driving erratically. Cpl. Dale Carr, with the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, said the man was pronounced dead later in hospital. Anyone in the area at the time of the shooting is asked to call 1-877551-IHIT (4448) or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS. – Kevin Diakiw

Guest speaker at Surrey summit described as a ‘war fugitive’

Bush protesters drop in on city hall Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Donning masks of George Bush, Dick Cheney and Condoleezza Rice, about a dozen people descended on Surrey City Hall Monday, chanting “enforce the law” and “keep George Bush out.” The group is critical of Mayor Dianne Watts for inviting the former U.S. president to Surrey’s Regional Economic Summit this October. Bush is scheduled to speak at the fall event with former U.S. president Bill Clinton. Bush should be arrested for war crimes, the group insists. The handful of protestors were outnumbered by RCMP members, mostly plain-clothed, who were there to ensure a peaceful protest.

The main speaker was John Boncore, known out to receive the documents. as Splitting the Sky (his Mohawk name), who “Best-case scenario, George Bush cancels his had a role in the Gustafsen Lake stand-off in trip to Canada,” Boncore said, saying it’s disingenuous to say he’s coming here 1995.

editorial

Voters polarized at the polls

he face of Canada has changed. As Michael Ignatieff pointed out, in conceding the defeat of the Liberals at the polls Monday night, the country’s political picture is now polarized between right and left. The Liberals represent a virtually non-existent more-middle road, and alternative parties are all but defunct. Local election results – particularly in the South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale and Fleetwood-Port Kells ridings – are virtually the national picture in microcosm. A considerable Conservative lead and a respectable NDP result, trouncing all others. Even in Newton-North Delta, where the NDP’s Jinny Sims was able to unseat Liberal Sukh Dhaliwal, and Surrey North, where the NDP’s Jasbir Sandhu toppled the all-but-invisible Conservative Dona Cadman, the numbers are so close it points to a greater polarization of views. In South Surrey, unruffled incumbent Russ Hiebert is to be congratulated for keeping his cool and hewing to his own issues rather than being baited into a war of words. He not only weathered the opposition of disenchanted former Conservatives and acrimonious reminders of his past expense record, but managed to maintain almost the same lead from the last election. Former White Rock mayor Hardy Staub made a brave try at storming the party’s stronghold, but wasn’t able to out-poll either Hiebert or even NDP candidate Susan Keeping. The rather lacklustre intellectual style of Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff seems to have done Liberals like Staub no favours. And that Keeping’s style seems more low profile than Staub’s suggests her victory represents the general drift to the left for the non-Conservative vote. This may be something the Conservatives will want to note for the future, dazzled as they may be by finally winning their dreamed-of majority. The prime minister had only just finished telling voters that a vote for the NDP was not a ‘protest’ vote and that what they most had to fear was a Liberal-NDP-Bloc Quebecois coalition. Now that the dust has cleared, NDP leader Jack Layton seems to have been handed a mandate to form a credible opposition in Parliament. That may spell an end to a divide-and-conquer strategy that has served the Conservatives well. Over the next four years Canadians will be offered two opposite views – which could mean the country is headed for the kind of volatile pendulum politics all too familiar to Europeans. The realities of that, in an uncertain world, could pose dangers to those at both ends of the spectrum – not to mention to those in between.

Suggestions included dropping the HST by a point (estimated cost $850 million) and offering more exemptions, on things like gym memberships or bike helmets. Hundreds of people didn’t get to ask their questions, partly because the politicians took up too much time with introductions and smooth talk like “that’s a great question!” The patient callers were asked to leave messages for follow-up. I live-blogged the event on Twitter, including a brief debate with former NDP MLA David Schreck about the fairness of these town halls. Schreck said there should be equal time for a critic of the HST, otherwise it’s just government propaganda. Judging by the NDP’s latest line of questioning, town hall participants aren’t missing much. Their big point in the legislature was that if the HST is rejected, low-income people would still get the GST credit. Yes, and the sun will continue to rise, but poor people will still lose a significant redistribution of income. You’ll hear a lot about the HST in the next few weeks, with government and business advertising the merits of keeping it, and Bill Vander Zalm’s FightHST organization spending $250,000 of public money to continue its campaign of fear and ignorance. You could do worse than participating in one of these telephone town halls. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com Twitter.com/tomfletcherbc

letters Peace Arch News

Advice from an earlier victim Editor: Re: Foot severed in walk along the train tracks, April 27. Thank you for the article regarding the tragic accident resulting in a severe injury to a 41-year-old man walking along the tracks. I ask that people have empathy for the victim, and fully understand that train accidents happen. We should not be getting worked up over who is at fault, or jumping to false assumptions. An unfortunate combination of events can lead to tragedy in any number of situations. The victim should not be blamed, and neither should the staff of the train; this is a tragedy where both parties will be traumatized. Compassion is what is needed in tragedies – not the ‘blame game.’ At the age of 21 – I am now 40 – I was walking my dog, Mickey, along the tracks at Peace Arch Park. Unfortunately, my dog and I got separated by the tracks while the train was just starting to move. I made a bad decision to try to get to the same side of the tracks as my dog by trying to jump on the hitch of the train and then jump down to make sure my dog was safe. A coupling mechanism closed over my right foot, causing a wound that would require a ‘metatarsal’ – about half – of my foot to be amputated. No, alcohol was not a factor. It took years to heal from both the physical and mental trauma. Post-accident, I found a part-time job with a wonderful company that accepts my limitations. Also, I met and married a dazzling young lady whom, ironically, I met while in recovery at Peace Arch Hospital. The brutality and pain of life can crush the spirit. My condolences to the man who has suffered a terrible misfortune. I understand the terrible pain you must be enduring. I give you my deepest wishes for a strong and speedy recovery. Please continue to endure, tomorrow will offer a better journey. I also would like to thank Peace Arch News for the front-page article. There are not enough media features warning the general public regarding train safety. The more the public becomes aware of these tragedies, the better the chance that these misfortunes could be avoided. Spring sunshine on the beachfront will often give people a sense of security. They may not anticipate the extreme danger trains can pose. Colin Fletcher, White Rock

Unpleasant, but not inhumane Editor: Re: Barbaric ritual on thin ice, April 15. I respect the opinions of letter-writer J.S. Korman on the Newfoundland seal hunt. However, Korman’s comments appear to be based on emotion, rather than fact. Korman suggests thousands of

seals are slowly dying a painful death, with some – even newborns – being skinned alive. The letter also says Newfoundlanders are smashing in the skulls of these helpless and gentle creatures. Nothing could be further from the truth. People hold this view, as the hunt is open for the world to see. Seeing any animal killed, even humanely, may not be a pleasant sight. But we do not protest the inhuman treatment other animals – such as chickens and cattle suffer in abattoirs – because it is out of sight and out of mind. Seals are now killed, in most cases, with firearms, although some First Nations and Inuit people may use clubs and hakapiks, which are found to be most humane, where ice conditions are suitable. Canada has strict regulations to ensure a humane seal hunt. Harp, grey, hooded and ringed seals may be hunted commercially, as these species are not endangered. The killing of newborns or white coats, as mentioned by Korman, has been prohibited for almost 30 years. The hunt is closely monitored by fishery officers who ensure humane harvesting conditions and enforce regulations and licence conditions. The Canadian Humane Society supports the hunt. And, a study by independent members of the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association found that virtually all seals are killed in a humane manner.

Korman’s statement that China is now banning Canadian seal products is false. Korea and Japan also import edible seal products. Even the European ban on seal products is being challenged in court by an Inuit group. The seal herd is estimated at more than five million – nearly triple what it was in the 1970s. This is bad news for the failing Newfoundland cod industry. Seals prey on cod, and these so-called gentle creatures have a habit of ripping the stomach out of the cod, leaving the cod to die. I would suggest that those making ridiculous statements on the seal hunt research the facts and give an accurate account of their assessment. Then, Newfoundlanders like myself would not have to continually defend the truth about the seal hunt. Charles Parrott, Surrey

Branch division Editor: I have been following the recent news items and letters in your paper pertaining to the removal of trees on the hillside, and am in support of council’s decision to include protection of views in its tree policy. I believe a false dichotomy has been presented that this is a case

of views versus trees. Wanting to protect a view – whether of the water or the mountains – does not mean one does not want to have trees in their neighbourhood. I am quite certain I love trees as much as most other people, but I also love my view of the water, and would not want to have it compromised by overgrown, unkempt or unhealthy trees. Just as we have view protection with zoning bylaws, so should we have that same protection when a tree is planted that creates view loss. I would suggest most residents living on the hillside would share my opinion, and hope that council understands that the loudest voice is not necessarily representative of the majority of citizens of this city. S. Nightingale, White Rock Q I have lived here since 1978 and I’m really tired of watching the trees in this town disappear. There was a time when one could walk to the end of the pier, turn, look up at the hillside and see many forested areas. This, of course, is now sadly a distant memory. But I should hope one could still look up at the hillside and, at least, see some trees. I have, in the past, chosen to leave trees growing rather than cut them for my view of the water, so I do speak from experience. I agree with a previous letter that stated, “the trees are the view.” Jane Mantle, White Rock

fax: 604.531.7977

She doesn’t have to go it alone Editor: Re: Pet saviour looks for hope amid fallout, April 13; and Risking radiation, April 20. After reading reporter Hannah Sutherland’s April 13 article, I followed up on Chizue Lister and met with her at her lovely little restaurant, the Yucca Tree Café. Wow, is she ever tiny for attempting such a big job. We met later and chatted for a couple hours. She was upbeat about her hurried trip to Japan, yet tried keeping a smile on her lovely face. You could tell she was hurting inside. I’d competed in track in Miyazaki, Japan back in 1993, then backpacked across most of Honshu, staying in youth hostels every three nights. Taking the express train, I got to enjoy the beautiful countryside, and I met so many Japanese who were always friendly and courteous. When I got lost in some cities, they always helped my on my way. Some even dipped into packages and gave me little gifts! I was 66 at the time. Chizue and I pored through my huge photo album of my trip, and it was lovely to see her brighten at all the cities she knew. Hannah’s more recent article on April 20 made me want to write and encourage like-minded, animal-

friendly people to perhaps make a small donation, such as I did yesterday. With Chizue’s first-hand knowledge of the problems near the radiation site and in surrounding areas, she will be able to get our funds into the right hands. She mentioned there’s a group of about 50 volunteers who are trying to cover much of the cities and countryside, getting water and food to as many animals as possible. Gas is very expensive over there also, so our donations will help. All these volunteers are using their own money and taking time away from their jobs to do as much as they can for the starving, dehydrated animals. There’s a saying: behind every good man, there’s a good woman. I’ve met Kelly Lister, so let me tell you, that behind this strong little woman is a terrific man. Ruth Carrier, White Rock

Unnatural demise I understand that this is a country in crisis, but when I was reading this article I couldn’t help but wonder what kind of society considers tying up animals and letting them die of hunger and thirst a “natural” death. Jutta Sinclair, Surrey

tive committee, said he hopes the centre will be given due consideration in the process. “At the moment, there’s very little mention of it,” he said. While one man criticized public notification of Tuesday’s meeting, Thompson said about 500 letters were delivered to area residents, and 375 flyers were sent home with students from nearby Peace Arch Elementary. The hope is for youth input, Thompson said. Project consultant Mike Enns, a landscape architect, noted the park is now used more as a thoroughfare than a destination. Improvements could include elements to accommodate all age groups, he said. Suggestions collected will be compiled into three options. Those options will be presented to the public in June. Thompson encouraged those who have an interest in the park to make their views heard. “It’s wide open,” he said. “This whole process is to look into the future and get people to consider what’s not here now.”

The first of three meetings to map out the future of White Rock’s Maccaud Park couldn’t compete with Game 7 of the Stanley Cup quarterfinals last week. Fewer than 50 area residents turned out to Kent Street Activity Centre during the informationgathering event, held from 4-8 p.m. April 26. Regardless, the input gleaned is a good start on figuring out what citizens want and need for the 3½-acre plot, organizers say. “We’ll have a clear idea about where the community is going in about one to two weeks,” said Rob Thompson, White Rock’s director of engineering. Maccaud Park, sold to the city in 1968, is located on Kent Street between North Bluff Road and Thrift Avenue, and has been popular for years amongst Earl Marriott Secondary students and area residents for years. Discussions on its future were brought to the forefront in March, after two dozen alders deemed hazardous were removed. The site is identified in the city’s 2007 Parks Master Plan as an area that could serve as a neighbourhood park if more facilities were provided. Those who attended the April 26 meeting suggested everything from an outdoor aquarium and space for hockey, to adding nothing more than a playground. Marge Needles, a member of the Kent Street Activity Centre for seniors, supports minimal changes. “Keep it simple and spacious,” she said. “I don’t think we need to fill a park up with a whole bunch of stuff.” Joan Lewis, another KSAC member, agreed. She described the city investing in the park as “like a slap in the face,” in light of fundraising the seniors have had to do for the centre. Clive Griffiths, chair of the activity centre’s execu-

Special ceremony marks six decades of RCMP service

Boaz Joseph photos

Celebrating 60 years in Surrey

Clockwise from top left: Sgt. Jon Heron of the four-member lance party; RCMP officers stand at attention during celebrations at the Surrey Museum in Cloverdale; Mayor Dianne Watts greets officers; RCMP horn band performs; a youngster snaps a photo of the festivities.

Sixty years ago, the City of Surrey was a very different place than it is today. Citizens enjoyed a slower pace, a more pastoral setting and a less-complicated lifestyle. So, too, did the city’s police force. On May 1, 1951, when the RCMP took over policing duties from the Surrey Municipal Police Department, rowdy dance halls, speeding vehicles and liquor complaints at the beach were among the most common service calls. Fast forward to 2011. Having grown from a contingent of 18 officers six decades ago, the 641-member Surrey RCMP detachment – Canada’s largest – polices Metro Vancouver’s fastest-growing city by responding to both emergency and non-emergency calls; conducting criminal investigations, intelligence gathering and enforcement operations; and reducing the impact of crime through numerous education and outreach programs. In recent years, the detachment’s focus on reducing the rate youth, property and violent crime is paying off. Surrey Mounties have also increased traffic safety and

improved neighbourhood quality of life. And the efforts of the detachment’s members and staff go above and beyond the call of duty. Surrey RCMP have partnered with numerous community groups to assist the less-fortunate with initiatives such as Operation Teddy Bear, Cinderella Story, Surrey Food Bank drives, Third World Eye Care, Cops for Cancer, Big Bike for Heart & Stroke Foundation, United Way campaigns, blood donations, Christmas giving and much more. Over 60 years, throughout a host of technological, cultural and social changes, one thing has remained the same: Surrey RCMP’s connection and commitment to the community. • Don’t miss the upcoming RCMP exhibit to be featured at the Surrey Museum, 17710-56A Ave., on display May 20-23. The exhibit will feature 10 display cases of Surrey RCMP artifacts and memorabilia, as well as timeline banners highlighting key dates in the detachment’s history. -Black Press

lifestyles Wedding celebrated

A royal audience Local residents were all abuzz over Prince William and Kate Middleton’s royal wedding Friday – an historic occasion that compelled some to dress up and indulge in all things British. Students at South Surrey’s Hair Art Academy showed up to school wearing tiaras, jewels and fanciful dresses. A few proved resourceful with their attire, with 20-year-old Victoria Ensing snagging a lace wedding gown from a thrift store and Michelle Weghsteen, 23, making use of her high school grad dress. Clients were treated to tea and biscuits, while wedding coverage played on the salon’s TV throughout the day. Just down the road, a group of Peace Arch Hospital Auxiliary volunteers had a similar idea. About 30 women who work Thursdays at the Superfluity shop in White Rock gathered at a fellow volunteer’s South Surrey house for a celebratory garden party. The Union Jack and images of the royal couple were hung up throughout the home, as the women – between the ages of 60 and 90 – enjoyed English games, music, food, prizes and a wedding cake, all while wearing their finest

Glowing tribute planned The public is invited to a candlelight tribute this weekend, in honour of those who have served and continue to serve for peace and freedom. The event is to begin at 4:45 p.m. May 7 at Victory Memorial Park Cemetery, 14831 28 Ave., when 2,000 candles will be lit and placed upon veterans’ grave sites and the cenotaph in a commemorative ceremony symbolizing the ‘passing of the torch of remembrance.’ People are invited to participate by placing a candle in silent tribute and sharing a moment of remembrance. The candles will burn into the night, offering a silent, glowing

tribute to current members of the Canadian armed forces who are serving, and to those who served in the past. The cemetery is to remain open all night for the public to view the lit candles. For more information, call 604-374-2232.

‘Je Maintiendrai’, is set for 6:30 p.m. by the cenotaph outside city hall, 15322 Buena Vista Ave. The ‘Dodenherdenking’ (Remembrance of the Dead) service is planned “to maintain tradition and respect,” writes organizer Jerry DeWit, in a letter asking White Rock council for permission. DeWit explains that a dwindling number of attendees led staff of the Netherlands Consulate to deem the expense of holding the service in Vancouver could no longer be justified. Council voted unanimously last month to allow the service to be held in White Rock, provided there would be no cost to the city.

ULTIMATE GUIDE TO

GOLF

Short, sweet and a tad tricky Peace Portal’s Par 3 course offers something for everyone With the appeal of a quick round of nine holes, the beauty of a lush, scenic setting and just enough challenge to keep golfers on their toes, the Peace Portal Par 3 in South Surrey is a popular destination for seasoned golfers and newbies alike. Carved into a setting of beautiful mature cedars, the course, first opened in 1993, takes the golfer up and down a gentle and scenic ridge. The small lake at the sixth hole, though tranquil in appearance, can be a troublemaker for some. “It’s one of the shots that puts the challenge into the nine holes here on 4th Avenue,” said course manager Maxine Hamm. According to Hamm, the Par 3 is a great venue for both less experienced golfers and those looking to improve their short games. Though the course is relatively short – at approximately 100 yards per hole – two small lakes provide an extra challenge. “It is a special pleasure to see kids as young as five years old teeing off

For brand new golfers, Hamm suggests a trip to the driving range beforehand so players are able to get the ball airborne. “If you have never hit a ball before, it can be frustrating and discouraging,” she said. “Being able to swing the club and get the ball

make the right decision. 6. Equipment: With new technology, golf equipment should be adapted to the customer. We are not talking here about personalized adjustments in the extreme, which some golfing enthusiasts inflict on themselves. However, the fact remains that a golf club that is too long, too short, too heavy, too light, with more of an angle... will affect the ball’s trajectory. 7. Technique: all aspects of the technique of the swing, positive or negative, which affects the ball’s trajectory. So, before you fall back on the easiest solution to try and save your swing, make a complete analysis of your game with the help of this list. You’ll be surprised by the results.

Even though golf is just an outdoor activity for some people, this marvellous sport is governed by its own, very particular science. When we talk about a stroke, well or not-so-well executed, 99 per cent of the time we’re talking about technique. Even though technique is one of the big pieces of the puzzle, there are in fact many other factors that have to be taken into account: mental attitude, emotional control, surroundings, physical capacity, tactics, equipment, technique. 1. Mental attitude: Obviously, we’re talking here about the capacity of the student to concentrate, but also about his personal knowledge, his ability to analyze and understand, as well as his understanding of the movement that he is executing and why. 2. Emotional control: This concerns fears, hesitations, lack of interest, distractions and all the outside, emotional influences which could affect the player. 3. Surroundings: The place, its level of difficulty; faced with a water obstacle or a sand trap, etc. The weather; the heat, the cold, rain or lightning, etc. 4. Physical capacity: The capacity or incapacity of the player to make certain movements. The lack of flexibility, height, weight, etc. 5. Tactics: The capacity of the student to analyze the situation, awareness of the pluses and minuses, as well as the choices he or she has, to be able to

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Rangers win Coastal Cup final Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Contributed photo

Tyler Charlton raises the Coastal Cup.

The Peace Arch Rangers are Coastal Cup champions, after a 2-1 victory – which was decided by penalty kicks – over the Comox Valley Red Strike Sunday at Richmond’s Minoru Park. “They boys played really well,” said coach Gretchen McConnell. “All year, they’ve played as a team, and

this was another total group effort.” The Rangers took a 1-0 into halftime against Comox, but the Island squad tied the game in the second half on a penalty shot. Late in the game, Peace Arch appeared to have taken a late lead, but the goal was disallowed by an offside call. From there, the two teams slugged it out in a pair of overtime periods, with

neither able to break the deadlock. In the shootout, the Rangers scored on four of five shots, while the Red Strike only scored twice. Peace Arch’s Nick Di Lello was named player of the game. The win was the Rangers’ second cup title of the year; they also captured the District Cup earlier this season with a win over fellow Peace Archers, the

U13 Titans. The Peace Arch Rangers will also compete at provincials in July in Powell River. The Peninsula’s other entry in the Coastal Cup finals, the Semiahmoo Thunder, lost their U16 girls A division championship match 3-2 to the Richmond Red Hot Selects; the game was also decided on penalty kicks.

Sailboats taking part in last weekend’s regatta cruise through Semiahmoo Bay during a sprint race Sunday morning. The two-day event saw 34 boats from Canada and the U.S. compete.

Semiahmoo Regatta ‘a great day on the water’ Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

The weather – and the wind – help up for two days of sailing on the weekend, as 34 boats competed in the annual Semiahmoo Bay International Regatta. “Everything went great – the weather was really with us, which was nice. Everyone I talked to seemed to be really happy with it all,” said race director Terry Willey.

Y! R R U H

“It was a great day on the water.” Boats from both sides of the border were entered into a series of races in the bay, including Saturday’s long-course race, which was a 20-mile journey out past Boundary Bay and back. The winds were about 10 knots at the start of Saturday’s race, Willey said, which meant boats took about five hours to finish the distance. Had their been less wind, the race

would have been shortened in order to get all boats back in time. “Thankfully, we didn’t have to do that, and everyone was able to do the whole race,” Willey said. The fastest boat on the water Saturday was Ron Thomas’ Bad Kitty, which won Division A, while the Division B victor was John Gerity’s Extreme. Division C was won by Ross Bernard’s Zen No Zen, and the top boat in Division D was Roger

Gibb’s Passtime. In Division E, Richard Ross was the fastest through the water, in his boat, Psyche. Sunday featured a series of shorter “sprint” races, and afterward, the West Marine Trophy – awarded to the top American and top Canadian boats from both days of racing – was handed out. The top U.S. boat was Bernard’s Zen No Zen, while the top Cana-

dian boat was Passtime, skippered by Gibb, a Peninsula resident. The winds co-operated on Sunday, too, although they were lighter than the day before, and did change direction after the first race, which was the only hiccup. “After the first race, we had to change the course to stay with the wind, but it was no big deal – it just meant there was a bit of stall before the next race,” Willey said.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a disease associated with aging that gradually destroys sharp, central vision and is the leading cause of legal blindness in Canada. AMD occurs in two forms: wet and dry. Dry AMD accounts for about 90% of cases and causes gradual loss of central vision..

46 goals and 121 points over two and a half seasons. He was selected to play in the 2010 BCHL All-Star Game while with Surrey. “Mike is a talented young man who was basically a point-a-game player over his final two seasons in the BCHL,” says SFU general manager Jeff Dubois. “He was a guy who drew considerable interest from a number of Canadian universities and we’re thrilled with his decision. We expect that his abilities will translate into good offensive production at the university level and we’re confident that he’ll enjoy academic and

athletic success at SFU.” Krgovich is also an elite lacrosse player, and was a member of the Coquitlam Adanacs team which won the Minto Cup as Canadian junior lacrosse champions in 2010. “SFU is a great school and being a local kid it just made sense,” he said. “The on-ice and office excellence that is offered is top drawer and my father and sister are also SFU alumni, so the combination of all of those factors sealed the deal and made SFU an easy decision for me.” - Black Press

AMD Leading Cause of Legal Blindness Dry AMD can progress to Wet AMD, which occurs when abnormal blood vessels grow under the macula. These blood vessels can leak and break , which causes rapid loss of central vision. If you have age-related macular degeneration, you need and deserve to be monitored as carefully as possible.
