Woman dies after ventilator fails

Merle Goertz, friend of murder victim Teri-Lyn Williams, visits the scence where Williams’ body was found June 9 at 104 Avenue and 137 Street.

EVAN SEAL / THE LEADER

Teri-Lyn remembered Friends of Surrey murder victim share memories of a ‘charming’ girl

by Dan Ferguson THE MAN in the white van pulled up while Merle Goertz was repairing

the small memorial near the place where police found Teri-Lyn Williams.

Someone had removed Teri-Lyn’s photo from the small cross Goertz made and taken some of the potted daffodils he left on on the north side of 104A Avenue off Whalley Boulevard.

The van driver said he was the passer-by who called police about someone lying in the bushes early in the morning of June 9. “Was there blood?� Goertz asked, hesitantly. “I couldn’t see any,� the man in the van said. “But I didn’t go in [for a close look]. She was lying on her back. It looked like she was sleeping.�

Goertz thanked him and explained that he used to know Teri-Lyn. It had been 12 years since he’d seen or heard from her.

He was shocked by her haggard appearance in a police-issued photo released shortly after her murder. “That’s not how I remember her,� Goertz said. “She was the most beautiful, sweet, charming girl.�

They met more than 20 years ago in Edmonton.

She was 19, working as an exotic dancer at a club where Goertz was friends with two other dancers.

He was outside having a cigarette when she walked by, smiled a brilliant smile and said “hi.�

They were friends for about a year-and-a-half before the relationship became romantic.

She told him about being a street prostitute and drug abuser before he met her.

CareLife Fleetwood neglected to plug in her respirator.

And because of a law imported from Britain more than 150 years ago, her family has no legal remedy.

Abbottsford’s Judith JarabekGray, 61, was admitted to Surrey’s CareLife on Jan. 5 of this year, when her Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) required her to be placed on a ventilator.

Two weeks later, a nurse accidentally left Jarabek-Gray’s ventilator on a battery pack rather than plugging it into a wall, where it would have had continuous power. Instead, the six-hour battery ran out and JabarakGray died.

On May 4, Fraser Health Authority’s Program Director for Residential and Assisted Living Marg Fraser wrote to the family apologizing for the error.

Judith “While the care Jarabek-Gray staff inserted the correct number of cords into the wall outlet, in fact, the cord that ensured continuous power was not plugged in,� Fraser wrote in the letter. “We are currently developing mandatory education sessions for all staff led by the BioMedical Team.�

Daughter Melissa Jarabek was stunned to learn that CareLife can’t be held accountable civilly for caus-

B.C. law: Changes sought From page 1

The provincial government is no longer considering offering variable toll rates on the new Port Mann in a bid to reduce congestion.

No off-peak discount for cars on tolled Port Mann Only truckers, HOV lane users will be offered reduced rates

ing her mother’s death.

“Don’t you think that if Fraser Health knew people could sue them, they would spend the money ensuring that they had proper procedures and equipment in their facilities?”

Jarabek said Wednesday.

She points specifically to the batteries on the portable respirators, which have now been replaced with new ones that have louder alarms.

Jarabek said she’s getting several emails from other people with similar stories throughout the health region.

“The negligence is astounding,” she said.

She wonders if the province and health authority could be held accountable in civil court if it’s found more lives could have been saved.

“Everything was preventable that happened,” she said.

The health authority will not be subject to punitive damages in court because of a law that has remained unchanged since it was pulled from Britain in 1846.

It essentially states that there is no civil remedy for negligent death if the Melissa deceased had no Jarabek dependents.

That includes children, those without income, or people who are infirm, such as Jarabek-Grey.

All other provinces in Canada have ammended the law except for British Columbia. It is currently being reviewed by B.C.’s attorney general.

Don Renaud, an injury case lawyer, said that the situation as it stands is not acceptable.

“She has a right to sue, but a right without a remedy isn’t a right at all,” Renaud said. “There’s virtually nothing that’s permissible under the combination of the Family Compensation Act and the Estate Administration Act.” He has facilitated a grassroots group of about 150 families looking to change the law.

Berner trial will continue, judge rules

by Dan Ferguson THE TRIAL of Carol Berner will continue, a Surrey Provincial Court judge ruled Wednesday.

There was a ripple of applause through the courtroom when Judge Peder Gulbransen dismissed a defence application for a stay of proceedings in the case of the woman charged in the May 2008 death of four-year-old Alexa Middelaer in Delta.

Berner’s lawyer argued his clients right to a fair trial was violated because her car was destroyed, making it impossible for the defence to carry out their own inspection.

The defence said that made it impossible to establish whether the car, an Oldsmobile, had defective steering and brakes, which

was a possibility because a manufacturer’s recall notice had been issued that warned of a possible failure of steering and brakes.

The other issue was the absence of a police officer currently on medical leave who had carried out measurements at the crash scene.

Gulbransen said the car was destroyed because Berner agreed to let ICBC dispose of it after the police returned it to her.

He noted that a Delta Police officer sent Berner a letter with a “broad hint” that she might want to have the car inspected, something they were not legally required to do.

Under the law, police must return evidence to the owner after three months.

As for the absent officer, Gulbransen said the prosecutor in the case has no control

over the man’s state of health, did not plan to call him as a witness and had admitted to a “fundamental error” in the officer’s measurements.

Following the ruling, defence lawyer David Tarnow said he had no witnesses to call, meaning Berner will not be taking the stand in her own defence.

The judge began hearing closing arguments Wednesday.

Stabbing: Young father died From page 3 underway for the trial of her son on an unrelated charge of second-degree murder.

Joshua David Berner, 26, was to appear in a Vancouver courtroom on Friday for a pre-trial conference to set the schedule for his B.C. Supreme Court trial in the February 2009 stab-

bing death of 23-year-old Ben Warland of Richmond.

Warland was stabbed to death following a confrontation aboard a transit bus. Berner was allegedly one of two men aboard a Coast Mountain transit bus who got into an altercation with Warland before the stabbing.

A short time later, after Warland got off the bus, another altercation

transpired, and Warland, a 23-year-old father of a young boy, was found lying in the front yard of a house.

Warland was rushed to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Richmond RCMP arrested two men at the scene of the early morning stabbing, both in their mid-20s.

A pimp inflicted the scar that ran along the right side of her jaw.

She was an adopted child who knew nothing about her birth parents except that one of them was likely dark-skinned.

Her birth mother was probably drinking through the pregnancy because Teri-Lyn had all the symptoms of fetal alcohol syndrome, Goertz said.

But she seemed to have overcome her troubled past.

She was a superbly fit amateur bodybuilder and a hard worker who ran her own one-woman cleaning company.

Still, there were ups and downs.

Without warning, Teri-Lyn’s moods could suddenly shift from warm and loving into a wild anger at everything, even the man she loved.

The relationship with Goertz ended badly, with harsh words and hurt feelings, but Goertz never moved out of building they shared in Vancouver’s West End. Part of him, he said, always hoped that she would come back.

Goertz now knows that TeriLyn returned to Alberta, where she built a life with another supportive friend, Calgary resident Dan Swainston.

In a telephone interview with The Leader, Swainston said he never crossed the line from a friendship to a romantic relationship with Teri-Lyn. He remembers her as a warm, hardworking woman who could be moody, but otherwise was doing fine.

But when she turned 40, Teri-Lyn started to fall apart, Swainston said.

She walked away from her business, drifting into debt and

back into drug use and street prostitution.

A grieving Swainston said he did everything he could to help, but it wasn’t enough. “I could always pull a rabbit out of the hat for her [with loans of money and other assistance], but not this time.�

The last time he heard from her was June 2, when she phoned asking for money to help with her rent.

Swainston didn’t have the money to give, and she got angry.

Sawnston said he was “devastated� to learn about her murder and he wants people to know that his friend was more than a mere street prostitute. “She wasn’t a nobody.�

Her adoptive father, Edmonton resident Mel Williams, suspected his daughter’s emotional problems were the result of drug or alcohol abuse by her birth

mother, who a social worker told him was a hooker on Edmonton’s infamous stroll.

Williams feared for Teri-Lyn’s life after learning she had gone back to the street. “Unfortunately, I’d been kind of expecting something like this ...but nothing prepares you.�

He prefers to remember the often-happy child who did cartwheels down the halls of her home and would ask her father to sing “Delta Dawn� all the time. “It was her song� he said.

The other day, he heard it playing.

It was the part about “she’s 41 and her daddy still calls her baby,� and it hurt to hear it.

Anyone with information about Teri-Lyn’s movements before her death is asked to call the IHIT TIP Line at 1-877551-IHIT or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

‘Dreaded’ Who’s watching the RCMP watchdog? tax not a done deal RE: OTTAWA’S new RCMP “watchdog.”

FIRSTLY, LET me say that I have

served on both boards of my MLA Dave Hayer and MP Nina Grewal and I am very disappointed that both the provincial Liberals and the federal Conservatives have decided to implement more taxes on us via the HST. We run a small business and anything I have read or been told about this tax has not convinced me that it is good for small business. The provincial website under “Facts About the HST – What’s Taxable and What’s Not” lists 206 items under various categories from clothing, footwear and accessories, all the way to professional services. Out of these 206 items, 67 have increased tax with HST, and in a lot of the cases where there is no additional tax, they clarify it with “remains at 12%,” as they are already getting the maximum taxes out of the item.

The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver has calculated HST brings higher costs for Greater Vancouver new home buyers, for example, by a whopping increase of $25,191 per home in Richmond.

The B.C. Liberals have raised licensing and service fees, cut revenues to services, and took funds from ICBC – approximately $800 million – and put it into general revenue .

The NDP don’t seem to have any better understanding of how to control the mounting debt.

They were right there voting in an enormous wage increase for themselves and a pension plan that has be likened to winning the lottery.

Paying down the enormous Olympic debt never seems to be mentioned anymore ... I guess the HST will take care of that for the next 20 years .

Why would we want to have Ottawa control of our PST, when Ottawa’s control of our fuel taxes has given us upgrades to our roads and transportation systems 10 years too late and with tolls?

We are told the HST is a “fait accompli,” but with enough grassroots push, this dreaded tax can be stopped.

We can do it.

It’s hard to imagine anything more cynical than an RCMP oversight agency that can only make recommendations that the Mounties and feds are free to ignore.

While further details are scarce, it looks like police will continue to investigate police. The new agency’s investigative powers seem limited to secondary interviews with witnesses and reviewing evidence that the police submit.

We don’t know who will staff the agency.

Will they be specially trained civilians, free of conflicting loyalties? Or will they be excops and political hacks?

Will the agency itself be accountable?

This is a key point because it took ongoing vigilance from activists, opposition politicians, media and an especially tenacious ombudsman to keep Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit from becoming an apologist for the police.

The SIU isn’t perfect, but it’s Canada’s best example of a police oversight agency.

The Conservatives have fallen far short of that model. So have the provincial Liberals and NDP. Last October, they unanimously approved minor Police Act amendments that preserved a seriously flawed complaints system for B.C.’s municipal cops.

Losing faith in City of Surrey THE CITY of Surrey has sunk to

a new low. In a quest for added revenues, Surrey has targeted its churches.

Until now, and rightly so, churches have enjoyed status as charities and have been exempt from property taxes. That has been so since Surrey’s first resident of record, Abraham Huck,

donated the land Christ Church stands on.

Christ Church now enjoys Heritage Building designation and, as Surrey’s first church, has been an integral part of Surrey’s history. It still operates the only existing church-run cemetery left in Surrey and Surrey’s earliest settlers are buried there.

In 1990, the parish undertook to build a newer, more modern building across the street from Christ Church. It is this part of the church property that came into question.

A year or so ago, city employees Google-Mapped Surrey’s churches looking for property which could be deemed tax-

A parishioner at Christ Church/Christ the Redeemer argues that levying property taxes on places of worship causes undue hardship for organizations that are already struggling financially.

HST not endorsed RE: “BIKER Lekstrom heads for hills,” (B.C. Views, June 16).

Just to set the record straight, the B.C. Conservative Party has never endorsed the HST. The B.C. Conservative Party only said they would investigate it. The B.C. Conservative Party did, and found the B.C. Liberal HST plan flawed.

Only one candidate in the B.C. Conservative Party ran in 2009 supporting the HST and that was Mark Thompson. It was from Mr. Thompson’s urging that the party investigate the HST and its possible benefits.

The party did an investigation and found the following results.

See investigation link: http://www.conservativesbc.com/downloads/ BCCP_Tax_Plan_20090908.pdf Blake MacKenzie Director at Large, B.C. Conservative Party

able. A back corner of Christ the Redeemer’s property was so deemed. With no further investigation, the church suddenly incurred a property tax bill in excess of $7,000 – an 825-percent increase over the previous year.

An investigation would have brought light to the fact that the corner in question was actually the septic field for the new church building. While parishioners in 1882 may not have balked at using an outhouse, I somehow doubt 2010’s attendees would wish to.

In 2010, churches struggle and survive due to the largesse of their members. Many, including Christ the Redeemer, work with the poorer residents in our city, whether it’s the youth group putting together hampers at Christmas or other groups within the church working with women’s shelters, etc.

Although Christ the Redeemer’s $7,000 bill has been somewhat reduced, it is still a big pill to swallow.

It is shameful for Surrey to be looking to its churches in such a manner for revenue.

Just as Christ Church has been part of Surrey’s past, I hope Christ the Redeemer will be part of its future.

Open for all your sex store needs, 24/7 RE: “ROXXXY’S sex shop owner calls it quits.”

A fair and explanatory article featured in The Leader on June 4 indicated that we had given up the fight to keep the Roxxxy Theatre open.

Unfortunately some people though we were closing our main store here at 10740 King George Blvd.

To clarify this and make it very

clear to everyone: Surrey’s Adult Entertainment Store has been open for 23 years, 24 hours a day, seven days a week and will continue to do so.

We will continue to provide excellent customer service for many years to come and I hope this explains that our store is not closing.

New president for Surrey Board of Trade Financial planner to build on past success

by Rick Kupchuk ABOUT TO begin a oneyear term as president of the Surrey Board of Trade, Nigel Watkinson isn’t planning on making any changes.

“You’ve only got a year, and you can’t change the world in a year,” said the South Surrey-based financial planner. “You’re working with the board of directors anyhow, so what I have to do is build on what the previous president has done.”

Watkinson began his term as president last night (Thursday), taking over from outgoing president James Stewart following the board’s annual general meeting.

He joined what was then the Surrey Chamber of Commerce 11 years ago, and has served on the board for “around eight years.”

“Kathleen Casprowitz, the president of the day, asked me to join the governance committee,” said Watkinson. “Eventually I became the committee chair. So I was on the volunteer turnstile, and that was it.”

And it’s the large group of active volunteers – not

advocacy issues that could have something to do with the environment, the economy, finance or taxation, transportation.”

Or the HST (Harmonized Sales Tax).

The controversial new tax – which takes effect July 1 by combining the existing GST and PST – has been targeted in a province-wide petition, which its organizers say has enough signatures to force Victoria to reexamine implementation of the tax.

Watkinson said most of the opposition is because the provincial government has done a poor job of explaining the rationale and benefits of the new tax.

“But that shouldn’t be the issue,” Watkinson continued. “The HST enables our businesses to become more competitive than they are.

We support the HST, we believe it will be good for businesses, we believe it will be good for creating employment opportunities and helping businesses grow.”

Watkinson does have three areas of focus he will be concentrating on

over the next 12 months, one of which is boosting the membership of medium and large businesses.

“We don’t have enough of those businesses in our membership, particularly in manufacturing” he said. “They have their own groups and associations, but we want to be the go-to group for all businesses in Surrey.”

Continued co-operation with the city, and promoting it internationally, are two other goals.

Watkinson notes the city has developed a Surrey Economic Development Plan and has a “very forward-looking mayor and council... strongly business oriented.”

And by working with consul generals from other countries, and building contacts with chambers of commerce overseas, the Surrey Board of Trade can help discover business opportunities for its members.

“We are a good organization for Surrey businesses to export overseas to our network of contacts in other countries,” said Watkinson.

One-year anniversary of fatal car crash Family and friends of teen victim plan memorial at scene

by Dan Ferguson THE FAMILY of Surrey

crash victim Sanjeeve Sharma is planning to move.

There are too many painful memories for them to remain in the house where Sanjeeve once lived, so they are building a new one.

The 15-year old Surrey resident died on June 29, 2009 when the car he was riding in hit a traffic island near the intersection of 128 Street and 82 Avenue, then sideswiped a second vehicle before it collided with a lamp standard.

Father Sanjay Sharma said the last time he saw his oldest son, Sanjeeve was sanding on the patio deck, smiling.

He can’t even look through the window at the patio now.

“Its a great view with mountains and all,” Sharma said. “But I can’t go on the deck. I can’t do barbecues.”

He said the new house,

when it completed this fall, will have a room for the good memories.

Sanjeeve will have a bedroom in the new house, and everything in it will be just the way it was in the old house, all the furniture including his beat-up computer chair.

Those memories are happy ones.

Sharma remembers the tall teenager would be hunched over his computer keyboard, trying to focus on his online chats, when Dad would tease him and try to break his concentration by bouncing on the bed to bug him.

On Tuesday, June 29, the family and friends of Sanjeeve Sharma will mark the first anniversary of his death by visiting the location of the crash that claimed his life. They will go to the intersection between 8:30 p.m. and 10:05 p.m. and place a memorial at the scene.

There will also be a

Sanjeeve Sharma new memorial video posted on sanjeevesharma.com.

Anyone who wants more information about the event can visit the website or email sanjfx@ shaw.ca.

No criminal charges have been laid yet in the case, but the family has filed a lawsuit against the teenage driver of the Chevy Malibu who gave a ride Sanjeeve Sharma .

It also names the driver of a BMW SUV involved in the collision that caused Sharma’s death and accuses them both of driving contrary to

the restrictions on their licences.

It accuses both drivers of speeding, failing to use adequate lights, brakes or the car horns, driving without due care, failing to obey traffic controls, failing to heed weather conditions and driving contrary to restrictions on their drivers licences.

The lawsuit also names the owners of the two vehicles who were not at the wheel when the crash occurred.

Since his son died, Sanjay Sharma has become an outspoken campaigner for tougher regulation of new drivers.

He wants better enforcement of driving rules that require new drivers to have an adult supervisor sitting beside them who is at least 25 years old and has a valid driver’s licence.

Those regulations would have applied to the then-16-year-old who was driving the Malibu Sanjeeve was riding in.

Poor families to gain from HST: Report Critics point to flaws in Fraser Institute findings

by Jeff Nagel LOWER INCOME families in B.C. will

actually pay less overall tax once the harmonized sales tax takes effect, according to a study released by the right-leaning Fraser Institute.

The conservative think tank says reduced personal income taxes and introduction of a new BC HST credit make the change to an HST a net positive for many families, particularly those in the low- to mid-income brackets.

“People have been misled,” said Niels Veldhuis, the study’s author and senior economist at the Fraser Institute. “This is not a massive tax increase. It’s a slight tax increase with offsetting personal income tax reductions for most families.”

He said many claims of anti-HSTers aren’t backed up by credible data or analysis.

The report estimates families earning under $40,000 will be $411 richer once their higher sales tax payments are offset by lowered income tax, while households earning $40,000 to $60,000 would

$230 per family member.

Schreck noted impacts on businesses vary wildly by sector.

He said restaurants will be among the hardest sectors hit because there’s virtually no embedded PST on their labour and food costs and therefore not much post-switch savings to reduce prices and offset the higher tax to patrons.

A Harris/Decima survey released Monday shows B.C. business owners are evenly split on whether the HST will be positive or negative.

The 12 per cent HST, replacing the seven per cent PST and five per cent GST, takes effect July 1.

A citizens’ initiative aimed at forcing the government to back down has collected more than 650,000 signatures and is expected to become the first such petition in B.C. to be declared successful.

The Fraser Institute says the HST won’t change when “Tax Freedom Day” arrives, the date on which the average family earns enough to pay all taxes for the year – expected to be June 8 for 2011. jnagel@surreyleader.com

The City of Surrey is planning for the collection of a full

CURBSIDE ORGANICS COLLECTION SERVICE. We want to hear from you!

Surrey’s residents are currently diverting over 50% of their waste from landfill. Great job, Surrey! However, there’s more to be done. The City will be expanding its curbside collection program to include kitchen waste materials such as food scraps (meats, vegetables, fats, bones, etc), paper towels and tissues and other fibrous materials. By separating these materials from the garbage stream, we can reach our target of 70% waste diversion by 2015.

What kind of collection container will I need to use?

How often will my organics be collected?

Come listen to our exciting new plans for increased waste diversion, ask questions and give us your feedback.

Mayors worry U-Pass surge will swamp TransLink

17

MON., MAY 24, 2010, WHERE OPEN Find more great deals @ sears.ca.

We’re always open

More students will ride, but can buses cope?

by Jeff Nagel GIVING ALL post-secondary students

universal transit access may stretch TransLink’s resources too far and reduce transit service to other users, some Metro Vancouver mayors fear.

The U-Pass program that started at UBC and SFU is to expand to every college and university student, giving them all unlimited transit use for $30 a month.

The provincial government, which announced the expansion June 9, gave TransLink $20 million over three years to assist with the change.

But there are growing questions over whether that will be enough to cover lost fare revenue – many students will pay less than previously – or to increase transit service to cover an expected surge in student demand.

“The fact is your buses are absolutely jammed,” Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie told TransLink executives at a June 16 meeting of the Metro mayors’ council on transportation.

“You are expanding and something is going to have to give as a result,” he said.

Brodie said he sees no indication TransLink is prepared for the astronomical growth in transit use that could come – as happened when the original U-Pass Malcolm Brodie came to UBC. Extra pressure on the system once U-Passes extend to all campuses may leave TransLink severely underfunded again, other mayors said, and the resulting squeeze may push TransLink to raise more money from taxes and fares.

Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson said it’s troubling provincial aid isn’t expected to continue past 2013.

TransLink is already in the midst of deciding how to “rationalize” by reducing service on runs or at certain times of day with few passengers and increasing it at times and places where there’s more demand.

The aim is to carry more passengers and collect more fare revenue with the same level of service.

“It requires some significant tradeoffs we’ll have to make,” said planning vice-president Michael Shiffer, admitting there will be winners and losers among transit riders.

“I’m really worried ‘service rationalization’ means service reductions in places like Coquitlam,” responded Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart, adding the U-Pass expansion could trigger a “storm of change” for the system.

He said outlying cities are trying to make neighbourhoods more transitfriendly and need to know service will improve there and not leave residents car-bound for decades to come.

Asked why TransLink didn’t simply say no to the province’s plan for the expanded U-Pass, or negotiate harder,

CEO Ian Jarvis said the transportation authority decided the best course of action was to work cooperatively with Victoria to implement the policy, which was promised during the last election.

The impacts of the broadened U-Pass are far from clear.

Officials note it might not extend to all institutions because students could still vote it down.

U-Passes are compulsory at participating institutions – all students pay for them along with their student fees – but only after a referendum passes.

There are already rumblings it could be rejected at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, where reps say many students in Surrey and Langley don’t live close enough to frequent bus routes for the pass to be worthwhile.

Parking tax a question mark HOW MUCH money TransLink gets

in parking sales tax still isn’t known even though the collection system is to change next month.

The provincial government will no longer collect the 21 per cent tax on pay parking (which tripled from seven per cent in January) once the HST takes effect and TransLink will begin levying it directly from parking lot operators.

The change means TransLink will now have to shoulder the estimated $1 million a year in administration costs.

It’s estimated the tax will generate $47 million a year, but that could go up or down significantly after an audit is completed, according to TransLink staff.

“It falls to us to open this surprise package and see if we’ve won or lost,” said Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan.

The 12 per cent HST will be stacked on top of the parking sales tax, so drivers using pay parking lots will pay compounded taxes of 35.5 per cent starting July 1.

transportation has tweaked the rules that govern the election of its chair and vice-chair.

The change stems from a dustup in February, when Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts, the outgoing chair, suddenly resigned and Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender won the ensuing election for chair.

Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan accused Watts of orchestrating the handover to Fassbender by giving him the heads up in advance that she was leaving but not telling other mayors who might want to rally support to challenge him.

The rule change now says a chair or vice-chair that intends to step down should give one month advance notice. jnagel@surreyleader.com

Will face American opponents during Canadian Open youth tournament

Team Canada to play in Surrey B

by Nick Greenizan

y the time Canada’s national women’s fastpitch team arrives in Surrey next month, players should be on top of their game, after taking on the world’s best in Venezuela.

And as has been the case in recent summers, plenty of local talent dots the national squad, which plays its first game at the ISF Women’s World Championships in Caracas today (Friday) against Cuba. The tournament wraps up July 2.

Canada’s roster for worlds, which was announced earlier this month, includes Surrey outfielder Melanie Matthews, as well as Langley natives Danielle Lawrie and Corrine Doornberg, both of whom are former members of the White Rock Renegades. One other local native, North Delta’s Jennifer Yee, is also on the squad.

Lawrie, who just wrapped up her career at the University of Washington as one of the most decorated softball players in NCAA history, has been Canada’s top pitcher for the past few seasons.

Conversely, Doornberg, a 19-year-old utility player, is a Corrine newcomer to the senior women’s Doornberg squad after a few years with Canada’s development teams. She plays collegiately at the University of Mississippi.

“Since I was little, it has been my goal to be a part of the national team,” said Doornberg earlier this month, before leaving with the team for Caracas.

“I am excited to travel and see Venezuela and I am stoked to play with the girls at the international level.”

Canada is among the medal contenders at the World Championships, although the last seven tournaments have been won by the U.S. Japan is the defending Olympic champion.

The Canadian team will be in Surrey in a few weeks – after worlds wrap up – for a

“...it has been my goal to play on the national team.”

Surrey Storm ‘94 catcher Haillee Renkers makes a tag at home against a Richmond Islanders baserunner during last year’s Canada Cup Futures tournament at Cloverdale Athletic Park. The Storm association has entered two teams in the 2010 tournament, which gets underway July 5. week-long exhibition series during the Canadian Open Championships.

Beginning July 5, Canada will play a threegame set against the Washington Absolute Blast, one of the best club teams in the U.S., and will follow that with four games against the American national team, culminating with an afternoon contest Sunday, July 11.

The Canadian Open replaces the Canada Cup this year, after the women’s division – which includes national teams from around

the world – was scrapped due to a scheduling conflict with the World Championships.

There is only three days between the two events, which caused most clubs to pull out.

The Canadian Open will feature Futures (under-19) and Showcase (under-16) tournaments, and is hosted by the Renegades association. Games will be played at Softball City and Cloverdale Athletic Park.

Seven local teams have entered the 20-team Futures tournament, including the

Renegades ’91, ’92 and ’93 teams. The Delta Heat ’91 and ’93 teams as well as the Surrey Storm ’92 and ’93 squads will also be playing against competition from Saskatoon, California, Texas, Washington and Colorado.

In the Showcase division, the Renegades and Heat clubs each have two teams entered.

Rebels can’t hold on to first period leads Junior B lacrosse teamloses one, ties another

by Rick Kupchuk THE SURREY Rebels couldn’t finish what

they started, and managed to earn just a tie from a pair of West Coast Junior B Lacrosse League games this week.

The Rebels led 6-1 over the Burnaby Lakers Monday night at the Cloverdale Arena, but had to settle for a 7-7 tie.

Playing away from home one night later, a 2-1 advantage after 20 minutes eventually became a 6-3 loss to the Richmond Roadrunners.

Surrey’s record fell to 5-8-2 (won-losttied), and the seventh-place Rebels led the Roadrunners and Ridge Meadows Bur-

rards by two points in a three-team race for the last two playoff positions.

The Rebels were outshot 16-7 in the opening period Tuesday night, but a pair of powerplay goals from Zack Peach had the visitors leading by a goal going into the second period.

Richmond again had a huge edge in shots on goal, and outscored Surrey 4-0 for a 5-2 lead after 40 minutes. The two teams traded third period tallies, with Max Richards netting the goal for the Rebels.

Jeff Geyer had a strong game in goal, stopping 44 of 50 shots. Surrey struggled on the powerplay, failing to score on six

extra-man situations, and giving up two shorthanded goals to the Roadrunners.

Against the fifth-place Lakers Monday night in Cloverdale, the Rebels allowed Burnaby to score just 28 seconds into the game then reel off six in a row before the opening period was over.

The offensive production dried up in the second period, and Burnaby took advantage, dominating play and cutting the difference to 6-5.

Tyler Voisey’s second goal of the contest upped the difference to two goals, but Burnaby battled back with two goals in the last eight minutes of play to earn the tie.

SECTION C0-ORDINATOR: RICK KUPCHUK (PHONE 604-575-5335)

Brad Olson with two goals and a pair of assists was Surrey’s top scorer in the game.

Voisey, who added one assist, Peach with two goals and an assist, and Intermediate B callup James Main with three helpers, all had three-point games.

Harrison Mortimore with one goal, his second of the season, completed the scoring.

The Rebels were outshot 47-37 with Geyer making 40 saves in the Surrey net.

The Port Moody Thunder, in second place in the 11-team league with a 10-2-1 record, visit the Cloverdale Arena Monday for an 8 p.m. game against the Rebels.

shop at Peace Portal Golf Course was a polite one, kindly asking Monday golfers to allow John Burns and Jodi Reimer to playthrough.

And to get a sense of just how fast the duo was moving through the 18 scenic holes near the Canada/U.S. border, one only need to ask the very golfers who were moving aside to let them by. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really moving, manâ&#x20AC;Ś way too fast for me.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re up there, ahead on the greenâ&#x20AC;Ś or at least they were.

Looks like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gone already.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crazy. I mean, could you do 100 holes in a day?â&#x20AC;?

On the surface, it does seem slightly crazy, the idea of playing 100 holes of golf in a single day, but that was exactly what Burns, a pastor at Relate Church, in Surrey, and Reimer, a golf pro at Riverway Golf Course in Burnaby, were attempting Monday, on the

longest day of the year.

Last year, Burns â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who can finish a round on his own in about two hours â&#x20AC;&#x201C; accomplished the 100-hole feat alone, but this year he brought Reimer, a member of Burnsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; church, along for the ride.

The duo were raising money for Mercy Ministries, with the goal set at $50,000. Last year, Burns raised $35,000.

The pair teed off at 4:30 a.m., and managed to sneak in a full round â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at nearly a full sprint â&#x20AC;&#x201C; before many other golfers hit the 6,103-yard course. By 9:45 a.m., they were just finishing up their fourth round, with entourage in tow. A few helpers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; providing water and PowerBars â&#x20AC;&#x201C; were traipsing along the hilly Peace Portal layout with Burns and Reimer, as was an official scorekeeper, and a gaggle of photographers and videographers.

In order to save time and energy, the pair â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who were carrying their own bags and not using carts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; were not taking many, if

any, practice swings, often teed off at the same time â&#x20AC;&#x201C; etiquette be damned â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and never spent too much time admiring, or admonishing, their shots. Instead, they went with something of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;run, swing, run againâ&#x20AC;? approach.

They werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talking much either, save for a little friendly trash talk or few words of encouragement, and a quick word to onlookers as they zipped past. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Great day for 100 holes of golf â&#x20AC;&#x201C; perfect weather,â&#x20AC;? Burns said of the slightly overcast skies, after teeing off on the 17th hole for the fourth time that morning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But this hole has already taken three of my ballsâ&#x20AC;Ś this one gets me every time.â&#x20AC;?

The twosome wrapped up their 100-hole golf-a-thon â&#x20AC;&#x201C; about 5½ rounds â&#x20AC;&#x201C; by mid-afternoon Monday.

The Jays blanked Abbotsford 10-0 Tuesday night at Mackie Park, and allowed them to stay a game up on the Blaze, 5-0 winners at home over the North Shore Twins.

North Delta got a complete-game shutout from Cam Challand, who held Cardinals batters to just four hits and a pair of walks in six innings. The 17-year-old left-hander from Ladner struck out nine of the 24 batters he faced.

The game ended in the bottom of the sixth inning when three Blue Jays runs upped the difference to 10 runs, ending the game on the mercy rule. C.J. Pentland batted in Reed Lavallee and Tyson Popoff with a one-out triple, then scored on a double from Trevor Hodgins–- his second of the game – to end the game.

Lavallee, Popoff, Pentland, Hodgins and Stefan McKee all had a pair of hits, with Pentland finishing the game with three RBIs. North Delta improved to 26-9 (won-lost) on the season, a game ahead of the 21-6 Blaze.

Members of Orbit are (left to right) Gavin Ackerman, Matthew Gray, Matt Stockwell, Sam Hobeyn and Ashleigh George.

Rapid launch for Orbit Youth band landing gigs in Surrey – and beyond

by Sheila Reynolds

S

ome of the songs they cover are nearly four decades older than they are. But that doesn’t make any difference to members of the band Orbit.

They just want to play good music – and play it well – whether it’s The Who’s “My Generation” or “I Gotta Feeling” by the Black Eyed Peas.

The quintet of teens and pre-teens officially formed last summer and is comprised of lead singer Sam Hobeyn, lead guitarist Ashleigh George, bass guitarist Matthew Gray, rhythm guitarist Gavin Ackerman and drummer Matt Stockwell.

The group was started by George and Gray, who were previously in a band called The What. After leaving that group, they collected Ackerman, who takes guitar lessons at the same studio. He was thrilled to be asked to join after being spotted at a year-end recital.

“I was really excited,” says Ackerman, who also sings backup. “I love music – music is my passion.

My whole family loves it.”

They then found Stockwell, who would readily take the place of their fill-in drummer, and early this year, after parting ways with their original singer, took on Hobeyn to lead the group vocally.

Like many of the band’s members Hobeyn, a Grade 8 student at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary, has been performing as long as he can remember.

“I always entertained the family with little performances,” he recalls.

Stockwell admits he was more into hockey than his drums when the notion of joining a band arose, but thought he’d try something different. And so

Hobeyn has been surprised by the speed of the “It’s a really good experience for the future band’s quick rise in popularity and really didn’t because I’m working on my stage presence,” says expect to be playing for such large crowds.

Olympic coverage of Just Beginnings led to inquiry

by Dan Ferguson DURING THE Vancouver-Whistler 2010 Olympics, Just Beginnings founder June Strandberg was fielding questions from people from all over the world.

Reporters covering the Winter Games were fascinated by the story of a small Surrey flower shop that trained troubled women as florists and how it won the contract to provide all the victory bouquets for medal winners.

And most of the reports they filed mentioned that the program started in a prison.

Strandberg had become used to explaining how a parole officer had contacted her years ago about training female prisoners.

The prison program eventually shut down, but a version of it was revived in Surrey at the Just Beginnings flower shop, which helps train former prostitutes, recovering addicts and women fleeing violence.

The women learn the trade in classrooms operating below the storefront location at 13686 96A Ave., across the street from Surrey Memorial Hospital.

Then came a call Strandberg didn’t expect.

The warden of a women’s prison in New Mexico had seen one of the stories and gone to the trouble to track her down.

He went to the Just Beginnings website to check them out, then picked up the phone to ask Strandberg, a veteran florist, about the Canadian prison program “He just kept calling back,” Strandberg said.

During the last conversation they had, the warden said he was preparing to pitch the program to his superiors.

“I really would love to see that program go [to the U.S.]” an upbeat Strandberg says.

She’s offered to go to the American jail at no charge to help them set up a florist training program.

During the Winter Olympics and Paralympic Games, the student florists at Just Beginnings were responsible for making 1,800 bouquets, as many as 150 a day.

A total of 27 people worked on the bouquets, with eight to 10 working every day with four designers, three flower care handlers and two lead designers.

“It went like clockwork,” Strandberg says.

If you don’t count a few times when the delivery trucks were running late.

Because the florists always worked a day ahead, she says the delivery delays didn’t keep any bouquets from being ready for podium presentations.

Strandberg began working with troubled women more than 20 years ago.

At the time, the third-generation florist was running two retail stores and operating a trade school for florists.

A parole officer contacted Strandberg and asked if she would be willing to train two women who had recently been released from prison.

That led to the creation of the first Beginnings program that opened in 1991 at the Burnaby Correctional Centre for Women.

After the Burnaby prison closed in 2003, the floral training program found a new home at The Phoenix Centre for integrated addiction services.

Eye on entrepreneurship

QUEEN ELIZABETH Secondary Grade 12 student Akriti Kochher won the coveted JA Scholarship for Entrepreneurial Studies from Junior Achievement of British Columbia (JABC).

The scholarship, sponsored by the Peter Thomson Centre for Venture Development, recognizes strong entrepreneurial skills and the desire to start a business.

Kochher is executive vice-president of her JA company Hang On! With this award, she will have the opportunity to attend BCIT’s Starting Your Own Business Program.

The award was presented at the Celebrate JA! event, sponsored by CIBC, and held at the SFU’s Segal Graduate School of Business in downtown Vancouver.

Akriti Kochher More than 50 students were honoured at the reception.

Junior Achievement (JA) is the world’s largest not-forprofit organization dedicated to educating young people about business.

Student concepts win praise TECH-SAVVY STUDENTS were at their entrepreneurial best

at Simon Fraser University’s inaugural Concept Connection competition held at the Surrey campus.

The winning concept is a mobile application called Quikpiq, which allows users to ask their current social networks for feedback on potential purchases and other decisions.

Runner-up QuakeAware is an app that enables users to prepare themselves in the wake of an earthquake.

And in the “audience favourite” category, Live Interactive Shopping System, or LISS, an iPhone app for scanning groceries, emerged as the winner.

The student presentations were made before a panel of industry judges. The winner and runner-up teams share $1,000 in prizes. The contest was designed to encourage students from any field to create and pitch their entrepreneurial ideas.

Quikpiq team members include Anoop Aulakh (Communication), Ashish Gurung (Business) and Don Masakayn (SIAT). QuakeAware’s team of MBA/Management of Technology students – Kelvin Chiu, Ryan Cole, Donal De Paor, Dylan Marks, Terrence Tam, Eliza Yiu. LISS was created by a SIAT capstone team including Moein Sabouhiyan, Peter Zhao, Lisa Guo, Andrew Chen, Xenia Hsu. The other finalists were G-Frame, a location based roleplaying game for smart phones, and Wine-Peer, a peer to peer wine-rating system via the web and mobile devices.

Venture Connection and SFU Business sponsored the event. For more information on Venture Connection’s programs to support SFU entrepreneurs visit www.sfu.ca/vc

IN THE heat of midsummer, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all looking to add a little extra punch to our gardens, and there is one family of plants that has so much to offer but really doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the attention it deserves.

Canna lilies have been around for a long time, but with interesting new foliage colours and blossoms, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re experiencing a huge resurgence.

Canna leaves that resemble those of bananas and flowers that look like ginger lilies add a refreshing tropical touch to any container Brian or garden bed. The problem is we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use enough of them!

I love cannas for their incredibly easy care, but they really shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be set out in the garden until it gets warm.

Cannas love not only the heat of summer but also, like dahlias, will carry your garden well into November.

From a single tuberous root, they will develop into huge clumps, making a magnificent display. They also come in low (18 inches or 45cm), medium (three feet or 90 cm) and tall (six feet or 180cm) sizes.

Cannas can be used as foreground plantings or as giant background specimens.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all getting a little tired of the green dra-

Blooms, leaves bring a refreshing tropical feel caena palm focal points.

Cannas add drama.

Not only do they have dramatic foliage, but their various leaf colours and variegations also create an opportunity for some fabulous colour combinations.

The yellow and green striped leaves of C. Bengal Tiger or the rich peach flowers with amazing red, pink and burgundy stripes of C. Tropicana are just a few of the potential â&#x20AC;&#x153;wowâ&#x20AC;? colour combinations.

There are dozens and dozens of canna varieties, Minter but there are a few Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really excited about.

Black is still where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at, and there are a number of dark-foliaged varieties. The master of black, however, is Australia. This rather slender and elegant grower has almost black leaves with brilliant orange-red flowers. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely a â&#x20AC;&#x153;wowâ&#x20AC;? plant in my book!

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one variety that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had my eye on for some time now, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Constitutionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Its immense peach coloured flowers open above rich light bronze-veined foliage. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a class act and would be quite at home surrounded by dwarf echinacea.

Perhaps the most stunning of all cannas are the yellow and green varieties which, by the way, are

Striped â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bengal Tigerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, with its rich orange flowers, was one of the very first of the intense yellow and green striped varieties. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Pretoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; looks almost identical with melon orange blooms and leaves similar to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bengal Tigerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; but with a tiny red margin on the outside of its leaves.

Speaking of stripes, one of the most popular of all the striped varieties is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Pink Sunburstâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. It has intense green, orange and red striped foliage that changes intensity with the temperature and maturity of the leaves. Its salmon flowers are a true compliment to its leaf colour. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a great plant!

Sometimes we simply get caught up in the foliage colours of cannas and overlook their exquisite blossoms. Today there are a whole series of designer colours such as peach, apricot and pink shaded varieties that blend in with our current colour schemes.

Remember: cannas are well suited to both container and garden bed planting. They add both depth and vibrancy to any garden, but most of all, they can instantly add a magical touch of the tropics.
