Sea fest success story
Back from the brinkHannah SutherlandStaff Reporter
The Spirit of the Sea Festival brought three days of free live entertainment and family activities to thousands at White Rock beach last weekend.
And the only apparent hitch – according to organizer Janice Savage – was food vendors running short of supplies.
“That was a good thing,” she said, noting a steady flow of attendees throughout the event. “Unexpected, but a good thing.”
Although Savage, Community of Lights Events Society president, couldn’t confirm numbers Tuesday morning, she said the total amount of people seemed larger than 2009’s smaller-than-usual crowd.
“Everyone was gauging that there were more people than last year.”
And, despite a bumpy start – organization of last year’s event was criticized, and former society president Matt Todd resigned in June – the festival went “very smoothly.”
“We had a good plan in place, and all the team members took care of their departments. We had a really great team this year that just pulled everything together,” she said. “There were no problems. It was just a very calm, relaxed group of people.
“We’re just getting a lot of great comments that people enjoyed being there and it had a good feeling to it.”

Dan FergusonBlack Press
On the sixth day of deliberations in Decem-ber 2007, the jury in the Robert Pickton case sent a message to Justice James Williams.
They had a question: could they find Pick-ton guilty if they inferred he “acted indi-rectly” in the murders of six women at his Port Coquitlam pig farm?
The judge replied the jury could indeed, if they found Pickton was “otherwise an active participant” in Canada’s worst multiple-murder case.
Three days later, the seven-man, five-woman B.C. Supreme Court jury found Pickton guilty of six counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of Mona Wilson, Ser-eena Abotsway, Andrea Joesbury, Georgina Papin, Brenda Wolfe and Marnie Frey, most of them street prostitutes with drug problems.
Williams sentenced Pickton to life impris-onment with no chance of parole for 25 years.
Second-degree murder carries an auto-matic life sentence but allows for the possi-bility of parole after as little as 10 years.
However, the judge agreed with the Crown that the maximum sentence was required because of the uniqueness of the case.
The trial in a New Westminster courtroom lasted nearly a year.
On Friday, in a unanimous ruling, the Supreme Court of Canada upheld the ver-dict and dismissed a defence application for a new trial.
The defence complained when the judge said what he said to the jury, it opened up new avenues for conviction that ran counter to the Crown’s theory Pickton acted alone.
The Supreme Court judges said the evi-dence of Pickton’s involvement in the mur-ders was “overwhelming” and it didn’t mat-ter if anyone else helped.
“This case was never about whether the
accused had a minor role in the killing of the victims,” the judges wrote.
“It was about whether or not he had actu-ally killed them.”
The panel noted the defence had suggested other people might have been involved in the murders during the trial.
The ruling means the families of the six victims won’t have to go through a second trial, but it means the families of the 20 other murdered women will never get to see Pickton answer for their deaths in court.
That’s because the judge decided to proceed with just six of the charges against Pickton to save time.
After the conviction of Pickton on second degree murder, Crown pros-ecutors appealed the ruling and won the right to try him for first degree murder on all 26 cases together.
But the application for that new trial was put on hold pending the Supreme Court of Canada decision, and the provincial govern-ment has said there will be no trial on the remaining 20 cases if Pickton lost.
At the time, then-B.C. Attorney General Wally Oppal said it would not be in the pub-lic interest to proceed further against some-one already serving six life terms because nothing further would be gained.
Pickton is serving his time at Kent maxi-mum-security prison in Agassiz.
One of the six victims Pickton was con-victed of killing was a Surrey resident, Ser-eena Abotsway.
Another Surrey woman, Heather Gabrielle Chinnock, was among the 20 other victims.
Chinnock, a 30-year-old Surrey resident, was reported missing in July of 2002 follow-ing an argument with her boyfriend, who said she stormed out of their Surrey resi-dence without taking any clothes or other personal possessions.
The boyfriend told CTV News Vancouver that Chinnock was a regular visitor to the Port Coquitlam pig farm owned by Pickton.

Deaf community celebrates
’Thunderous applause’over history in makingHannah SutherlandStaff Reporter
Resolutions passed 130 years ago that banned the use of sign language in schools for the deaf have officially been rejected, and the signature of a South Surrey man is scrawled on the document that proves it.
“I did it to try to erase the worldwide ignorance and misconceptions about the deaf,” Wayne Sinclair said of penning his name to the historical record. “I did it to try to instill in deaf children a pride of being fellow human beings on an equal footing with their hearing counterparts.”
Sinclair, a retired father of two, had been advocating for the International Congress on Education of the Deaf (ICED) to dismiss and apologize for the resolutions, which were passed by educators at an 1880 meet-ing in Milan.
Sinclair felt the effects of the decision firsthand while attending a Vancouver school for deaf people, where students were forced to attempt to read lips and commu-nicate orally instead of signing.
“The Milan decision was so painfully wrong – disastrous,” he told Peace Arch News through an interpreter in March.
“This is the single event that has impacted the deaf community dramatically. After Milan, when they banned sign language in
schools for the deaf all over the world, educa-tion all of a sudden became inaccessible.”
Sinclair and other members of the inter-national deaf com-munity put pressure
on the ICED to offer an apology at its next global convention, July 19 in Vancouver.
Unlike two such attempts that failed in the past – at ICED conventions in Hamburg, Germany in 1980 and in New York in 1990 – the third time around proved successful.
Sinclair represented the B.C. Deaf Com-munity in working with ICED’s Vancouver 2010 Organizing Committee to negotiate the document, four original copies of which were signed by Sinclair, ICED chairperson Claire Anderson, Canadian Association of the Deaf president Doug Momotiuk and World Federation of the Deaf president Markku Jokinen.
“As I signed the document, I wondered what new openings, new opportunities and new partnerships would come,” Sinclair said via email.
“Naturally, I was emotional.”At 8:45 a.m. July 19, before an audience
of more than 700 people from 62 countries, the rejection of the Milan resolutions was announced.
“That resulted in a very thunderous applause,” Sinclair said. “There were lots of tears among the deaf participants and even some hearing people. The speaker had to wait perhaps a minute before the audience finally sat down.”
Sinclair said the international, national and provincial deaf associations will each receive a copy of the document, while the fourth will serve as a “legacy copy” to remind future congresses and educational programs for deaf children not to exclude sign lan-guages.
It will be taken to the United Nations in New York in the coming months, before going to South Africa next year for the WFD general assembly and to the next ICED convention in 2015 in Greece.
Sinclair said the copy was signed by about 600 supporters at last month’s convention, and additional signatures are to be collected
in South Africa and Greece.“It serves as a reminder about the need to
work with the deaf,” he said, noting he plans to see if the Canadian Museum of Human Rights in Winnipeg will put the B.C. copy on permanent display.
“It will go on forever.”Sinclair said deaf communities are now
exploring ways to seek further accommoda-tion so they can benefit in their jobs, educa-tion and all other aspects of their lives.
“We will move on,” he said. “We don’t want to overcome; we just want to move on. We want involvement with other people to make this a better world for all.”
newsMiss White Rock follows in sister’s footsteps
Pageant turns into royal-family affairWhite Rock’s newest youth ambassadors leapt
feet-first into their new roles last weekend, taking a highly visible role at the Spirit of the Sea Festival.
Led by new Miss White Rock Chloe Woodin – whose older sister, Hayley, was Miss White Rock in 2008 and is now a B.C. Ambassador – the team was a busy bunch, beginning Friday evening at the Coast Capital Playhouse, where the group’s annual gala was held.
At the gala – which was attended by locals and out-of-town guests – the 2009 ambassadors were “retired” and the incoming group was announced.
“Over 30 people from the Okanagan came out to watch, and a bunch of them were part of the (sea festival) parade later in the weekend, too, which was
great,” said program co-ordinator Debbie Ward.Also in attendance Friday were White Rock
Mayor Catherine Ferguson, Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg and Andrea Hiebert, wife of South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale MP Russ Hiebert. Former White Rock Youth Ambassadors director Jane Tench also took in the ceremony.
On Saturday, the ambassadors lent a hand at the Kiwanis Club’s pancake breakfast, helped out at the children’s pirate parade at East Beach, hosted a bar-becue and also attended a teen’s dance at the Elks Hall. And in the evening, the ambassadors once again took their traditional places in the popular torchlight parade.
“It was a very busy weekend for them, that’s for
sure,” said Ward. “But it was a lot of fun – it went very well.”
Ward was especially excited about the newest Miss White Rock, noting it was the first time the sibling of a former ambassador had been crowned.
“It had never happened before, so it was very nice, very unique,” she said of Woodin, a 16-year-old Earl Marriott Secondary student.
Fellow ambassadors Freda Zhang of Elgin Park Secondary and Stephanie Charlton, from EMS, were named princesses, while Kira Apted Tilcock was voted friendship ambassador.
Rounding out the 2010 team are Katie Fownes, Eric Zu, Stefanie Chen and Artoria Li.

and the parade was a lot of fun and I think the residents really enjoyed it. The grand finale of the fireworks was the best I’ve seen in a long time.”
Ferguson also pointed out that the popular teddy bear picnic was rededicated as Cupcake’s Teddy Bear Picnic in memory of Cupcake the Clown, a.k.a Dawn Jones, who died in February after a battle with advanced cancer.
“I gave a teddy bear with a city pin on behalf of the city to (Cupcake’s) family,” she said. “It was really nice and it was well attended, and the family was very appreciative of the renaming of the picnic in Cupcake’s memory.”
Savage said festival-goers were offered an alternative to driving, with community shuttles picking people up from Semiahmoo Secondary and Centennial Park.
“We ended up ordering a bus just in case we needed the extra – we were really pleased that we did.”
She said working closely with partners – such as the RCMP and the City of White Rock – allowed certain aspects of the festival, such as Saturday night’s Torchlight Parade,
to excel.“The parade was successful but
also the logistics of the parade went very well.” she said. “The police were very, very helpful in co-ordinating, so it was smoother than it had been in past years.”
Due to collaboration and planning, Savage said, the festival required 125 volunteers, which is less than had been called for in past years.
“It was a very relaxed feeling this year, which was nice. I think we did a lot of planning, and planning worked – all of the co-ordinating and planning just
payed off for us this year,” she said.
“I found more people saying during the festival or the day after the festival... they’re already excited about next year. This was a great base of what we can build on and it’s just going to get bigger and better.”
Savage said the society will have an annual general meeting in the next month or so, and planning for next year’s festival will begin shortly after.

A seven-year-old girl was air-lifted from Peace Arch border crossing Monday after being struck by a vehicle travelling south-bound in the Nexus lane.
The girl sustained non-life-threaten-ing, yet extensive, injuries to her head, face and leg, accord-ing to Surrey RCMP.
The incident occurred around 1 p.m. Aug. 2 when the girl, a Vancouver resident, wandered into the roadway near the duty free store, at Highway 99 and 0 Avenue.
Police say the girl had exited a family member’s vehicle and was crossing the highway to reach another family member on the
other side when she was hit by a vehicle travelling at a “fairly low rate of speed.”
Highway 99 was temporarily closed to southbound traf-fic between 0 and 8 avenues.
A violation ticket was not required and charges are unlikely, police say.- Hannah Sutherland
Romanians stoppedThree people arrested July 28
at the Peace Arch border were allegedly trying to avoid crimi-nal prosecution for fraud in the United States.
According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials, the trio – two men and one woman,
all born in Romania – were intercepted attempting to enter Canada in order to flee to Roma-nia and secure travel documents back to Europe.
Two were subjects of a fed-eral investigation who had been released from custody on a pre-trial bond. Attempting to enter Canada was a violation of the conditions of their release, CBP’s Chief Thomas Schreiber said in a statement.
Area Port Director Greg Alva-rez said the arrests “demonstrate the excellent and continuous working relationship” between CBP and Canada Border Ser-vices Agency.
“Closing loopholes through which criminals might flee helps keep communities on both sides of the border safer,” he said.

Burning garbage has been OK’d by Metro Vancouver.
Regional directors voted Friday to adopt a draft waste plan that includes incineration, within or outside the Vancouver area.
Incineration has been a bone of contention for Fraser Valley residents and politicians who say it will damage the air shed.
Metro chair and Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said the plan was a “collaboration of many, many years’ work. Not only people from around this table, but also from the past, are going to be interested in how we deal with this today.”
Abbotsford Coun. Patricia Ross said after the meeting she was disheartened.
“This is SE2 all over again,” she said. “This (decision) just leaves us hanging.”
Her best hope was Vancouver, which was opposed to the idea of incinera-tion altogether.
Vancouver’s Heather Deal attempted to have incineration removed from the possible treat-ments of waste and offered an amendment that the definition of waste-to-energy include all conversion methods including gasification, but excluding incin-eration and landfilling.
Richmond’s Harold Steves agreed, saying there’s no need for an incinerator at this point.
“Get the mass burn off the table, we’ll have alternatives within 18
months,” Steves said.Deal said if mass incineration
remains a possibility, emerging companies with strong technol-ogy won’t bother bringing for-ward their concepts.
Surrey’s Coun. Mar-vin Hunt said some directors were “pre-judging the process” by hoping to take incinerators off the table. He wants to see
mass burn fail as an option, he said, but wants to see the alterna-tives.
The board voted against restrict-ing the definition of waste-to-energy.
The discussion proceeded to whether a mass-burn incinerator would be in or out of the region.
Directors in favour of shipping out of region say they were being sensitive to the Fraser Valley air shed.
Port Moody’s Mayor Joe Tra-solini said if the board was just going to be relying on science,
why bother with the exhaustive public consultation?
Others felt it was a more prag-matic approach as the region moves forward.
“If you rule out in-region, you may rule out something that is superior,” said Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart.
Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said there’s a huge host of emerg-ing technologies available that out-of-region communities might want to host.
She also noted the Fraser Valley is vehemently opposed to such a facility.
“We have to respect their views as well,” Watts said, adding she would approve of an out-of-region facility.
“I think it’s the most balanced approach.”
After rejecting three options provided by regional staff, the board chose to allow incinera-tors either in or out of the region based on a request for proposal process and judged by an inde-pendent party.
In addition to the waste-to-energy decision, the board adopted the rest of the draft plan, which included several waste-reduction initiatives.
The document now goes to Environment Minister Barry Penner.
Penner could approve the plan as presented by Metro without changes, make changes himself and then approve the amended plan or flag deficiencies in the plan and send it back for Metro to amend and resubmit.

There are some places that are more to do with a state of mind than strict geographical boundaries.
Take Paris or New York, for example, or the Vatican City – it’s own undeniable reality within the bustling confines of the City of Rome. Closer to home, look at ‘Hollywood’ or ‘Disneyland’ – two notions more deeply engraved on the public mind than any mapmaker’s template.
And – dare we say it – White Rock is another one of those places, at least for travellers journeying within their own province.
Maybe this is just a fit of community hubris inspired by last weekend’s Spirit of the Sea Festival, but it’s hard not to feel proud of White Rock. The success of the festival proved, yet again, that White Rock – the idea, as much as the physical location – has the power to unite a community to achieve splendid things.
Even with a late start, a recession mentality that limited sponsorship dollars, and gainsayers rattling old skeletons, the Spirit of the Sea Festival rallied the community at large to demonstrate that it’s truly the spirit of White Rock, and that White Rock is a bigger idea than what side of a road we live on, or the bottom line of any individual business.
Which is what makes the erstwhile White Rock and South Surrey Chamber of Commerce’s recent decision to change its name to the Surrey and White Rock Chamber of Commerce a mite confusing. White Rock has been the mecca for both residents and businesses for years. The old joke has been the number of Peninsula residents who say they live in White Rock, and the number of South Surrey businesses that have trumpeted – widely – “come visit our White Rock store.”
Surely, the chamber can’t believe residents or businesses were that confused by the old name, or will be that affected by such a trivial change.
Or maybe an attempt to promote growth north of 16 Avenue has been misdirected into an attempt to eradicate the very being of White Rock.
That the City of White Rock has been encountering – if not growing pains – then ‘aging’ pains is undeniable. A short supply of land, insensitive and railroaded redevelopment in the past, a shifting population base, the need for revitalization – these are all symptoms of a town in evolution, but not in decline.
The Spirit of the Sea proves the brand of White Rock is as strong and vital as ever – and that may end up making it a trendier commodity than even a northward-focused Chamber of Commerce can imagine.
editorial
VICTORIA – As B.C. basked in hot weather last week, headlines proclaimed that the
province is bravely forging ahead with its pioneering effort to combat global warming.
B.C. is among five provinces and U.S. states that have decided to proceed with “cap and trade” restrictions on greenhouse gas starting in 2012, officials of the Western Climate Initiative announced last week. This means big industrial emitters of carbon dioxide, which have escaped the carbon tax on their process emissions for the past three years, should soon have to pay for emission permits.
The top five human sources of carbon dioxide in B.C. are Spectra Energy’s two natural gas plants in the Peace country, followed by Rio Tinto-Alcan’s aluminum smelter at Kitimat, and cement plants operated by Lehigh in Delta and Lafarge in Richmond. Those and other industrial sources pay B.C.’s carbon tax on gasoline and other fuels, just like the rest of us, but together their process emissions amount to about a third of B.C.’s total greenhouse gases. And for now at least they are free.
Now B.C., Ontario, Quebec, California
and New Mexico have decided they will press on and impose a cap-and-trade system on their industries. This is despite the fact that national cap-
and-trade legislation in the U.S. has been abandoned by Senate Democrats who have enough problems going into mid-term elections this fall.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper, never a big fan of the theory that humans are causing and can control global warming, has indicated Canada has no choice but to follow the U.S. lead on climate policy. He’s right, and it’s refreshing to hear a politician blurt out such an inconvenient truth.
So now it seems clear that the U.S. federal government is leading us nowhere. Still, B.C. and California say they are going to soldier on with their tagalong partners.
I put this idea to B.C. Energy Minister Bill Bennett, who also allows that he is skeptical about human-caused climate change. How can a gas plant or cement plant in B.C. take on the burden of an emission cap and paying for greenhouse gas credits when the same plant in Alberta doesn’t have to?
“I can only tell you what the minister of energy thinks, and I think that if
going to cap-and-trade under those circumstances was going to create some obvious uncompetitiveness between Alberta and B.C. or between B.C. and Ontario or whoever, I don’t think we should do it,” Bennett said.
He agrees with B.C. participating in the Western Climate Initiative, because if and when a price is imposed on industrial carbon emissions, the province would be prepared and ready to benefit as a clean-energy leader.
Premier Gordon Campbell’s goal of a one-third cut in B.C.’s greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 was ambitious when it was announced three years ago. It looks downright dubious now that the political reality in the U.S. has changed. Barack Obama doesn’t brag about lowering the ocean levels any more. He’s more concerned with keeping his own head above water.
And Campbell’s climate target, along with some other sweeping “great goals,” appear to be setting like the sun on the B.C. flag, along with his political fortunes.
Simon Fraser University resource economist Mark Jaccard put out a report last week estimating that B.C.’s rapidly growing natural gas industry will add 10 per cent more emissions, as carbon dioxide from shale gas is vented to the air. EnCana’s large new gas plant has been approved without requiring the still-experimental carbon capture and storage.
Reduce emissions? Good luck with that.

Raw deal for longboardersEditor: Re: RCMP target longboarders, July 14.
I’m a 15-year-old longboarder. I just bought my first longboard three days ago. I bought it for about $250.
I think that as long as longboarders are wearing protection it should be fine. Every longboarder is aware that it is a dangerous sport, but then again, almost every sport is dangerous, so why not make all those dangerous sports illegal too?
Longboarding is a way of transportation, but also, it is a way of staying green. In 2005, there were 6,420,000 automobile accidents but every year, only a few longbarders die from crashing. Driving is very dangerous so shouldn’t that be illegal, too?
Every longboarder I have talked to about this change agrees with me. It is crucially unfair and a waste of money. People like me who just spent hundreds of dollars getting a longboard recently cannot ride in White Rock or Surrey. No one is going to give us a refund for our boards, but maybe they should.
Longboarding has kept me distracted from being a bad kid.
So what I’m trying to say is that the only thing bad about it is the injuries, but most of them are scratches and bruises. It’s a great way of transportation, saves gas, and it doesn’t pollute. If this goes on for longer, myself and all the other longboarders will get very upset. Brett Choi, Surrey
Dog owners unite...Editor: Re: No blaming First Nation if park closes, July 16 editorial.
I want to thank the Semiahmoo Band for the privilege of being able to enjoy East Beach since I moved here in 1986.
East Beach is a jewel on the Peninsula. My dog, Montana, and I, along with many others, have especially enjoyed the opportunity to bring our dogs to the sand and water.
As the director and founder of SALI (Semiahmoo Animal League Inc), we are committed to honouring, respecting and protecting the bond between people and dogs. Apart from unconditional love, dogs provide many health benefits to people; lowering blood pressure and stress, providing a reason to exercise rain or shine and helping to relieve depression. Many dogs with leg injuries also receive health benefits from walking in the water.
I would like to invite SALI members, dog rescue groups, professional dog walkers and the general dog-walking public, to pledge to keep East Beach clean from dog waste. Thousands of people and dogs respectfully and
responsibly clean up after their dogs, but as with every other public space, it only takes a few to destroy the beauty.
Let’s bring an extra dog poop bag with us for those that have forgotten to bring a bag. Let’s clean up after the person that leaves the waste behind. It is not just dog waste that mars the East Beach beauty, it is also litter and garbage. The City of Surrey is not responsible for cleaning up East Beach. Instead, the whole community can take responsibility to preserve this East Beach jewel. I suggest SALI sponsor an East Beach clean up twice a year.
One way to curb the amount of dog traffic at East Beach would be if there was an attractive alternative for people and their dogs. SALI has been and still is conducting an online Surrey/White Rock dog parks survey and we have a very clear idea of what our community would like to see for dog walking. There has been an overwhelming positive response to our idea for a members-only off-leash dog park.
With public opinion supporting us, SALI is proposing a one-of-a-kind members-only off-leash dog park with many amenities that are not available elsewhere. This includes electronic entry for members, agility course, clean swimming pond, enclosed puppy
and small dog area, memorial garden, rescue/adoption events, training programs, elevated bath station and coffee cart. We have been looking for the appropriate land for the dog park and our search it is still ongoing (www.sali.ca). In order to protect the human/animal bond, let’s take this opportunity to allow dogs to build community.
Please note that all proceeds from the members-only dog park will go towards SALI’s Farm, which will be a safe haven for at-risk children and rescued animals to bond, learn and heal with one another. Keryn Denroche, Surrey
Moving to the HST hellholeEditor: Re: HST arrives, and life goes on (B.C. Views, July 7).
Tom Fletcher states, “over the past year, Alberta has seen an exodus of 5,000 people to other provinces, while B.C. attracted 7,500 new residents to the HST hellhole.”
According to Statistics Canada, in their population estimates report for first quarter 2010, published June 28, the Alberta population grew 0.35 per cent,
Saskatchewan grew 0.36 per cent and B.C. grew 0.37 per cent. I am not sure if Mr. Fletcher is trying to imply that HST improves growth rate but there is no doubt that it is fertilizer of the smelliest variety.
Also, why this repetitive harping on paying back the HST bribe from Ottawa? It was an increase in federal deficit offset against provincial deficit. “Their money” and “our money” is simply debt that must be repaid by us taxpayers whether it be by federal or B.C. taxation. (The termination clause in the agreement is 18 months notice with no penalty).
As for the 300 now redundant tax collectors transferred from B.C. to federal employment, that could have been a real cost saving. Now we just hand them a different-coloured paycheque.Neil Martin, KelownaTom Fletcher replies: Statistics Canada tracks interprovincial movements as well as total provincial population, which increases via births and international immigration as well as relocation within the country. Alberta experienced net provincial outflow in late 2009 that was its highest in 20 years, due largely to the international credit crisis and a surge of investment in northeastern B.C. natural gas resources.

Writer Douglas Brown says the City of Surrey would be wise to follow its own tips for water conservation.
Editor: The City of Surrey has gone to great expense to
convert several flower beds in Southmere Village Park facing 16 Avenue and on the corner of 148 Street into ‘A Water Wise Garden.’ However, I was amazed to see that perhaps this project is “Not so water wise!” because when I walked through this park on July 22 at noon (please note the time), there were at least two hoses spouting loads of water and the attached photograph (above) shows one such hose.
From the amount of water flowing onto the pathway, my guess would be that these hoses had been in
operation for several hours and probably moved from one section to another. This is not the first time these hoses have been in operation, but this time I went home to fetch my camera and record this indulgence.
There is also a notice board that explains how important it is to save water; perhaps city staff should be directed to read these very important suggestions. Also, while this certainly is a great improvement, I wonder why two of the beds have not been completed. Perhaps this was “a work-work project” and the available funds were exhausted.Douglas Brown, Surrey

Anger and bewilderment continue to swirl around news that Fraser Health has removed services for the most at-risk babies born in the region from Surrey Memorial Hospital.
The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) level 3 beds, for premature infants born weighing less than 2.6 pounds, were obtained with the help of donors who raised $1.4 million. The prenatal beds opened in February and were quietly shut down a few weeks ago and returned to Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster, where they were initially transferred from.
Fraser Health Authority spokesman David Plug confirmed the closure last week, saying the service would return around 2014. The problem, he said, is a shortage of doctors to care for the mothers – hospital practice is to care for mom and baby in the same facility.
Listeners to local radio station RedFM are upset, as they raised much of the money to purchase the high-tech incubators, according to radio host Harjinder Thind.
Surrey Coun. Mary Martin, who chairs the Mayor’s Task Force on Health, said there are many rumours as to why the beds were closed, but none of them are acceptable.
“Those beds are gone until 2014, and they’re so needed,” Martin said. “I’m not going to let this one go, we’re just furious about it.”
Provincewide, premature infants are categorized as Level 1, 2 or 3 and provided care accordingly. Levels are determined mainly by age and weight. Level 3s are the tiniest and considered the most at-risk babies because they’re so underweight, have been born when the mother is less than 30 weeks (six months) into her pregnancy, and require longterm mechanical ventilation or other cardiovascular or neurological treatment.
Mayor Dianne Watts said Surrey has a very young population and to have the NICU services removed until 2014 is “outrageous.” She planned to contact Health Minister Kevin Falcon to get them returned sooner.
Meanwhile, Sue Hammell, the NDP MLA for Surrey-Green Timbers has launched a petition appealing for the return of service.
“People in Surrey raised over $1 million to support the opening of new neonatal care beds at SMH, and now they feel betrayed that the government didn’t follow through on their promises,” Hammell said.
Falcon said he’s not happy with Fraser Health’s timeline on the return of services to Surrey and has asked staff to explore a faster turn around.
“I think Fraser Health would acknowledge they haven’t handled it as well as they could have,” Falcon said. “And certainly I think they can do better than the timeline they have indicated.”

Chuck Keeling is the third generation of the family that founded the harness racing track in Cloverdale that is now known as Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino.
And he will likely be the last to work there.
The owners of Fraser Downs, the Great Canadian Gaming Cor-poration, announced Thursday that Keeling has chosen to resign his position as vice-president of racing operations and general manager at 17755 60 Avenue.
It’s a friendly departure, with company spokesman How-ard Blank saying the company wishes Keeling well.
He will stay on till Oct. 1, then begin a new career.
Keeling won’t disclose too much about his new path, except to say he is going into partnership with an entrepreneur he’s known for a long time, and it will involve commuting to Vancouver.
“It is something totally unre-lated to gaming and horse racing and anything I’ve ever done,” Keeling said.
At 38, the married father of one said he wants to try something different while he is still young.
It is a big change for a man who started working at the track when he was eight.
“This was a difficult decision,” he said.
He has no plans to leave the
community.“I’m a Surrey guy at heart,”
Keeling said. “My roots are in Cloverdale. That’s not going to go away.”
His grandfather, Jim Keeling Sr., brought modern harness rac-ing to Cloverdale in 1976.
The elder Keeling and his part-ners also opened Sandown Race-way near Victoria.
In the early 1990s, Jim Sr. turned over the reins to his son Jim Jr.
When Jim Jr. died suddenly, his son Chuck took over.
In 1996, what was known as the Cloverdale Raceway underwent renovations and was renamed Fraser Downs.
The casino opened in 2004.

The blue and green upright bars in the new Surrey Public Library logo represent both books and buildings, while the curved line in front is supposed to represent “the feeling of a pathway to learning and discovery of the library,” according to a statement.
The logo was rolled out online Thursday on the Surrey City Centre Library’s Facebook page and Twitter with a new slogan: “Discover,
Connect, Inspire.”A written statement
says the logo, which will be used on library stationery and signage,
will be phased in gradually and not officially used until a new website is launched in mid-September.
The new look goes with the new library designed by renowned architect Bing Thom.
The logo was designed by local agency thorn-leyHAYNE Creative Communications.

A 36-year-old financial analyst from Surrey says he’ll use his $1 million lottery win to pay off his house and “stick the rest in the bank.”
Randy Atwal claimed his $1-million Lotto Max prize Thursday.
“It’s a nice feeling to be relatively young and mortgage free,” said Atwal, a federal government employee who is married with two young children.
“It’s also reassuring to know my kids won’t have to worry about
paying for college when they grow up.”
Atwal commutes to work each day and admits he may be in for a rough ride once his fellow carpoolers read about his win.
“They’re going to tease me for sure,” he said.
“I’ll probably have to buy all the gas now.”
Atwal purchased his winning ticket at the International News stand on West Pender Street in Vancouver for the July 23 Lotto Max draw.

perspectives…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
Hannah SutherlandStaff Reporter
When Lauryn Prystie found a small mole on her knee, she thought having it removed last fall would
be the end of the problem.Four weeks later, when results from
a pathology test showed the mole was malignant, the South Surrey woman was confronted with the possibility of cancer.
Further testing erased any doubt. While a skin sample came back negative, a lymph node dissection did not.
“They found that it had spread,” Lauryn’s mother, Lynda, recalled. “It had already spread to the sentinel node, so that meant further surgery.
“We were devastated.”Diagnosed with malignant melanoma,
Lauryn, 23, spent eight days at Surrey Memorial Hospital last January and had seven lymph nodes removed.
Results a couple of weeks later were a relief – the cancer had not spread any further. As a precaution, Lauryn started treatment in April at BC Cancer Agency’s Fraser Valley Centre – located next to SMH – receiving an injectable medication called interferon five days a week for a month.
Sometimes during the visits, Lauryn would receive her three-hour treatment in one of the clinic’s cozy brown chairs. Other days, when she wasn’t so lucky, she would be appointed to an uncomfortable turquoise one.
“I’d always go there and say, ‘I hope I get a brown chair,’” she said. “The chair was a huge part of it. It made a huge difference.”
Although Lauryn eventually stopped going to the clinic for medication – she is now to do self-injections at home for a year – she and Lynda considered how they could help other patients there, some of whom receive treatment six hours a day.
“We wanted to do something to give back because (the staff) were so amazing there and so helpful,” Lauryn said.
The mother-daughter duo planned a fundraiser in the backyard of their South Surrey home, in hopes of raising enough money to purchase a new chair – priced at $3,500 – for the centre.
Using Lauryn’s nickname, Yo, they called
the July 10 event MelaYOma Fundraiser, and charged people $50 to attend.
“We got a little bigger than we thought we would,” Lynda said, noting they had around 150 guests. “I think everyone had a good time.”
Lynda said the production was a group effort, with musical entertainment, bartending, food preparation and serving provided by neighbours and friends, and silent auction items donated by individuals and businesses. Chairs were borrowed from the Richmond school Lynda teaches at, tables were loaned from neighbours and flowers from the garden added decoration.
“Everyone came out of the woodwork to help,” she said.
And while expenses were not huge, the result was. The evening raised $19,183.49 – enough to buy two chairs and fund other patient comforts at the clinic, including an IV that allows three drugs to be administered at once, significantly cutting treatment time.
“It was way beyond our expectations,” Lynda said of the total raised. “That’s from something in my backyard... It’s totally
amazing.“I’m hoping we can keep doing this for a
lot of years.”“It was heartwarming,” Lauryn added.
“People were donating without even coming. It was a huge outreach... everyone has been really supportive.”
Lauryn said she has been surrounded by such support since her diagnosis – a time she described as confusing.
“It was hard because you feel fine. I’d walk into the doctor’s office and feel fine and they’d be like ‘You’re sick.’ That was hard to understand. Now, I’m just kind of frustrated that it is so preventable.”
Lauryn said she likely developed the disease from UV exposure, whether from the sun or her occasional use of tanning beds around the time of her high school graduation. She and Lynda hope to work with the BC Cancer Agency to create awareness about melanoma and how to prevent it by speaking in schools.
“Me and my mom would like to get in there and let people know how serious it can be,” Lauryn said. “If you get your moles checked, if you put on sunscreen and
you’re just really cautious about it, it should be fine. When it gets too far, it gets too serious.”
Lynda agreed.“You never know when it’s going to hit
you. Something so small, and we never, ever would’ve thought it could be this drastic,” she said. “People think it’s a mole and you just get rid of it, and that’s the end of the story.”
Lynda said her daughter – who, as far as they know, is cancer-free – has been an admirable force, continuing both her work and studies throughout the ordeal.
“She was so young to get this. The strength of this girl is amazing. She’s so strong and everybody will attest to that.”
Being able to help others experiencing similar situations has helped Lynda accept her daughter’s diagnosis.
“We had to justify everything that she went through and by doing this, it just feels really good,” she said. “There was a reason for everything.”
Funds can be donated to the MelaYOma Fundraising Society account at TD Canada Trust, 15137 16 Ave.

Ten cyclists will pedal pebbles from Crescent Beach to the White Rock pier Sept. 21 to raise funds for seniors programs offered by Sources Community Centres, while fulfilling an old legend.
Each ceremonial pebble in the inaugural event is marked with a word symbolizing good fortune, peace, love, health and harmony.
The inspiration for the unique fundraiser came from Sources program co-ordinator Ramona Kaptyn.
“My great grandmother said
a knight carrying ceremonial pebbles walked across the rugged British Isles to help bring good fortune to a cloister of women who had lost their husbands in battle,” Kaptyn said in a news release. “It worked, so he did it again and again. When he died, he promised the legend would carry on for whoever did it anywhere in the world.”
Kaptyn said Pebble Pedal to the Pier donors who purchase a pebble will fulfill the legend, which states good health, wealth,
longevity and happiness will be granted to anyone who carries a pebble from one shore to another.
Residents, guests and dignitaries – including representatives from White Rock and Surrey councils – will welcome the cyclists when they deliver the pebbles in White Rock.
Ceremonies will begin at 6 p.m. at the pier head.
To donate ($25 per pebble or $100 for five) call 604-531-6226 or visit www.sourcesbc.ca

You may be wondering where the OPBA street banners are. The three-year-old summer banners have worn out and in order to replace them at an affordable cost, OPBA has to purchase enough to fill all the poles. Sales have been slow and we haven’t heard back from City of Surrey yet about a grant application made to help defray costs. Please call our Treasurer, Betty Eisenman of CIBC at 604-541-4542 if you’re interested in making a purchase.
The next meeting of the Ocean Park Business Association is September 9, 2010 at the Ocean Park Community Hall, 1577 - 128th Street, South Surrey from noon until 1:15 pm. In the meantime, have a safe, happy summer!

Hero dishes beach etiquetteCarolyn Prentice is known as a hero on the
Peninsula.While she may not sport a cape or possess
superhuman strength, the marine biology student is helping to save and preserve the lives of thousands of little crustaceans and creatures who inhabit Boundary Bay.
This summer, the 19-year-old nature enthusiast has been working as a guide for the Beach Hero Marine Interpreter Program – a project launched by the Friends of Semiahmoo Bay Society.
Prentice spends her shifts on the sandy shorelines of Crescent Beach, educating the public on how to appreciate the beach life without disturbing the small-scale world that is right under their feet.
Whole colonies of periwinkles and hermit crabs, eelgrass, snails and sea stars are just a small handful of the aquatic life one can expect to meet on her beach tours.
For Prentice, being able to call the beach her office is a dream come true.
“I’ve always loved the beach and just couldn’t imagine living away from the ocean. Being able to share my interest with adults and children every day is really amazing,” she said.
“Whenever I talk to people they tell me they are very grateful the program exists. It feels really good to be appreciated.”
Watching a young child’s eyes light up as they discover marine life hiding under a rock or scurrying by their tiny toes is one of the most enjoyable aspects of the program, said Prentice, who hosted several tours at the beginning of summer for elementary school students across the Lower Mainland.
“They want to show you everything they find because they are really curious and have a lot of questions. It’s nice to be the one they come to with questions.”
Beach Hero Interpreted Walks run through to
Aug. 31 at Crescent Beach and White Rock Pier. Walks for private groups can also be arranged. For more information, visit www.birdsonthebay.ca or to book a private walk, email beachhero.fosb@gmail.
com. While the walks are free, donations are gratefully accepted.
In this week’s edition of Local Flavours, Prentice share’s a recipe for Chicken Marbella – a tasty and healthy main dish she said her mom always makes during family vacations to Tofino.
Chicken MarbellaIngredients: 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts4 cloves of garlic 3 tbsp. oregano salt and pepper to taste ½ cup red wine vinegar½ cup olive oil
1 cup pitted prunes½ cup Spanish green olives½ cup capers4 bay leaves1 cup brown sugar1 cup white wine¼ cup Italian parsley or cilantro, finely chopped
Instructions: In a large bowl combine chicken, garlic, oregano,
salt and pepper, red wine vinegar, olive oil, prunes, olives, capers and juice, and bay leaves. Cover and let marinate, refrigerated, overnight. Preheat oven to 350°F. Arrange chicken in a single layer in baking pan and spoon marinade over evenly. Sprinkle with brown sugar and pour white wine on chicken pieces. Bake for 50 minutes to one hour, basting frequently with pan juices until chicken is cooked. Arrange on serving platter and sprinkle with parsley or cilantro if desired. Can be served hot or cold. Serves four.

Is there anything better in life than golf? Of course not! If only everyone else could understand this… including your kids. So what are you waiting for?
Share this passion with them. But don’t just teach your kids how to play, teach them how to play well.
Any golfer knows how important it is to start off on the right foot with the proper techniques. It is far too easy to pick up bad golfing habits and so hard to break them! Maybe you did not have a chance to start off with lessons at a very young age, but you can give your kids this opportunity. It’s an investment that will serve them well their entire lives.
And who knows? Maybe there’s a little
Tiger in your family. Did you know that most of the world’s best golfers started playing before the age of five?
So give your kids a good foundation to build on — from a young age.
All these dreams of turning your children into professional golfers aside, it’s easy to properly introduce kids to this fun sport. Today, most golf clubs organize courses, sessions and tournaments specifically for children.
Golf has grown dramatically in popularity over the past few years, and it’s no surprise. In fact, more and more kids today dream of becoming as good as their heroes… and these heroes are getting younger and younger each year.
Share your love of golfIt’s never too early to introduce kids to the popular sport

Blast from the pastImplications of Runway – A Modern
Twist on an Ancient Form of Expression is an exhibit of work by Langley artist Susan Falk opening this Thursday, Aug. 5, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the White Rock Community Arts Council, 1959 152 St.
Falk will be in attendance and refreshments will be served.
Implications of Runway is an edgy juxtaposition of prehistoric and contemporary; the feel of early paleolithic cave painting mixed with what Falk calls “hip runway chicks.”
The earliest cave paintings, Falk says, expose the “ever-human impulse to portray oneself and be inspired to enhance and connect with beauty.”
Her modern twist to this impulse is to depict modern runway models as they would appear – complete with fashions and accessories – if discovered on the wall of a stone age cave.
Falk says she belives she shares the same desire – and need – to paint as the early artists. “It’s a sense that something visual must be identified and painted in order to be more involved in it.”

Dean Paul GibsonOne of Earl Marriott Secondary theatre
program’s most successful alumni, Jessie award-winner Dean Paul Gibson, returns to Vancouver’s Bard on the Beach festival this year in a dual role – director of the main stage production of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, which runs to Sept. 25, and as the title character in Falstaff (running until Sept. 22).
The gorgeously-costumed Much Ado About Nothing has been set by Gibson in an appropriate period, the Edwardian era just before the Great War. In contrast, Falstaff, directed by Glynis Leyshon, is set in late medieval period. An adaptation of sections of Henry IV parts one and two, it traces the story of young prince Hal (later Henry V) and his misspent youth under the influence of outrageous drunk and brawler Sir John Falstaff. One of theatre’s most beloved characters, Falstaff was certainly a favourite of Queen Elizabeth I, who commissioned The Merry Wives of Windsor specifically because she wanted to see “Sir John in love.”
For tickets, call 604-739-0559 or 1-877-739-0559.

Fans hoping to get a taste of Meat Loaf are going to have to wait.
The American rock star’s performance at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre (AESC), scheduled for Friday, Aug. 6, has been postponed.
According to an official statement by the AESC, the singer will be on vocal rest for the next two weeks “under the advisement of his doctors.”
His Canadian shows in Edmonton, Dawson Creek, Calgary, Prince George and Penticton have also been cancelled. During the past week he’s missed shows in Detroit, Windsor and Winnipeg.
AESC organizers were alerted of the cancellation Thursday and have been working on potential re-scheduling opportunities, with more details being released next week.
“We’re very disappointed – we knew
it was going to be a great show,” said Michaella Petrik, director of marketing at the AESC.
She added that ticket sales have been very successful.
“Ticket sales were going really well right out of the gate and were going steady, and within the past two weeks they picked up again ... I don’t know if it was going to be sold out, but it would have been a full house.”
If a return date is organized, it will be after Meat Loaf ’s Aug. 12 performance in Los Angeles, which is still on the books.
Whether or not a date is set in Abbotsford, Petrik said proper refunding measures will be put into place.
In the meantime, AESC staff are still working to re-schedule a performance from Heart following the band’s cancellation in March.
According to Petrik, the group was planning to kick off its Western tour at the AESC, which is scheduled to start this fall.

Lance RyanThe term ‘shop early for
Christmas’ definitely applies for tickets to this year’s Christmas with Lance Ryan, which are on sale now, even though the concert is scheduled for Dec. 15 (7:30 p.m.) at First United Church.
The concert, a benefit for the Peninsula Arts Foundation, is a rare opportunity to see the internationally acclaimed White Rock-raised opera star in his hometown – otherwise fans of the tenor would have to travel to Europe where his management have him booked in back to back productions for such prestigious venues as the Bayreuth Festival, where he will headline both Wagner’s Siegfried and Gotterdammerung in July and August (other dates this year include performances in Russia and Shanghai, China).
The local concert will present Ryan and his wife, Italian soprana Viviana Passalacqua, with accompanist David Boothroyd, the Semiahmoo Strings youth orchestra and pianist Kay Hung.
Tickets ($25) are available at Tapestry Music, Five Corners Bistro or through Gloria Clinker, 604-531-6013.

When the Representation Agreement Act came into force on February 28, 2000 there was a great deal of reluctance on the part of many
lawyers to use the Representation Agreements which that legislation authorized.
The feeling was that these new instruments were difficult to draft and execute, and would be far more costly than a Power of Attorney which is a short, simple and easily executed document. I admit that I was among that group of lawyers who were skeptical about the usefulness and practicality of Representation Agreements.
In the seven years since they were first introduced to B.C. I have come to appreciate how useful and important Representation Agreements can be.
Whereas a Power of Attorney authorizes the grantee to look after the grantor’s legal and financial affairs, a Representation Agreement can have the same application but can also authorize the representative to look after the grantor’s health and personal care needs.
If you don’t think that’s important, wait until you have a sick parent, relative or friend who needs help not only with their legal and financial matters, but also with their health and personal care decisions. Without a representative to decide for them, an ailing or incompetent person’s course of medical treatment, prescriptions, nursing care, living accommodations, etc. fall to the Public Guardian and Trustee, or may become the subject of acrimonious contest between family members or friends who have divergent ideas about what is best for their ailing parent, relative or friend. Accordingly, I now recommend that anyone over 65 years of age or who has a life threatening illness should have a Power of Attorney which includes a backup attorney, a Health Care Directive (Living Will) and a Representation Agreement for health and personal care.

For years, Kerri Shott listened to people tell her that her father, Ken Webb, was destined for the
Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame. After all, Webb, a high-scoring,
aggressive left winger, had carved out an impressive 10-year-career in the 1940s and early ’50s, playing primarily for the Richmond Farmers, while also spending a few years with a Navy team and a pair of Vancouver Brewery-sponsored clubs, the Combines and Pilsners.
“Ever since I was a kid, people would say that my dad was a hall-of-fame player,” Shott, a South Surrey resident, explained.
“But it just took so long, you figured it was never going to happen.”
Webb, 84, was of the same mind as his daughter, in part because it had been decades since he last played, and memories – and statistics – often fade in time.
A few years ago, Webb – who has a near-encylopedic memory of every arena he played in, and every teammate he ever played with – heard he might have a shot at induction, but when nothing happened, he didn’t give it much more thought.
“(Former league statistician/historian) Stan Shillington called in about 2007, asking me for information about my career. I knew what he was doing, but I told them, ‘You’re wasting your time,’” Webb said.
“And 2007 went by, and I didn’t get in… and then ’08 and ’09 goes by, and you just think, ‘OK, I guess that’s it,’ and you really just forget all about it.”
Imagine Webb’s surprise then, when he received a phone call out of the blue last month.
“The guy on the other end of the line says, ‘Congratulations Ken, it’s my pleasure to inform you that you’ve been inducted into the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame,’” Webb explained, getting misty-eyed in the process.
“You could’ve knocked me over with a feather, you really could have.”
Webb will be inducted into the veteran’s category during a ceremony in November, at Hall of Fame headquarters in New Westminster’s Queen’s Park Arena.
Webb’s stats in the old Inter-city
Lacrosse League (now called the Western Lacrosse Association) were impressive enough – two Mann Cup appearances, plus 302 goals and 403 points in just 214 games, including an eight-goal game July 25, 1943.
“In all three papers the next day, I had an eight-column headline,” Webb said, pulling a yellowed copy of the long-defunct Vancouver News-Herald from a folder of keepsakes.
But despite the numbers, Webb figured one part of his career was working against him: injuries.
“I missed so many seasons, so many games,” said Webb, who retired in 1953, at just 27, after injuries caught up to him.
“In 1943, I got hit in the kidneys by Fritz Calvin. I was stretched out in front of the crease, waiting for a pass and he got me,” Webb said with a chuckle.
“It’s the closest I can remember to ever being knocked out. I didn’t lose consciousness, but they took me off on a stretcher, and I missed the last three games of the season.”
That was just the beginning of Webb’s long list of bumps, bruises, aches and sprains.
In 1945, while on 60-day leave from the Navy – and with a written promise that he wouldn’t play contact sports – Webb played five games for the Farmers anyway, breaking his ankle and his leg.
“I told the Navy that I tripped on a log at the beach,” said Webb. “I got away with it.”
In 1946, Webb got blood poisoning after falling and scratching his knee on the lead-painted, wooden floor at Queen’s Park Arena; in ’47 he tore cartilage in his knee and missed the rest of the season; and the following year, he played the entire season with a

A few months after putting their driving skills – not to mention their car – to the test during a 24-hour race in California, a team of local amateur racers were at it again last month.
The team, dubbed the Flying Lumberjacks because they wear lumberjack-inspired uniforms and have a large prop axe attached to the roof of their 1988 Volkswagen Fox, was in Spokane, Wash. July 24-25 for another day-long race – the Children of the Sun
24, which is part of the ChumpCar series.In May, the team – made up of local
businessmen Paul Hanley, Rob Edworthy, Jerry Strutinski, Tim Hickey and Nick Diomis – finished 58th out of 108 cars in the 24 Hours of LeMons, in Willows, Calif.
The team – which this time consisted of Edworthy, Diomis, Colin Jones and Bennett Hui – didn’t win in Spokane, either, but they did win top prize for being the best-themed team at the
Spokane County Speedway.In total, the Lumberjacks completed 539
laps of the 2.5-mile course.“And somehow, the car survived, it’s
really built well,” Edworthy laughed.The racers were also put to the test
when they had to drive at night; driving after dark was not part of LeMons.
“That was a real eye-opener, for sure,” Edworthy said. “It was tough, very challenging.”

brace on his leg. “Back then, surgeries
weren’t always successful. My knee would go out when I’d hit the floor, but I could kick it out in mid-air – while I was running down the wing – and it would pop back in.”
In 1950, he added to his injury list by hyper-extending his elbow, and then in 1951, while playing in the Mann Cup against Peterborough, he cracked his ribs.
“I’ve never been shot, but it felt like what a bullet must feel like. It was just searing pain. I just collapsed. I tried to play, but just couldn’t,” said Webb.
But, in a true showing of toughness, Webb returned for the final game of the series.
“I had both ankles taped, both knees taped, my wrist taped, and I had my ribs cracked,” he said.
Injuries occasionally took a toll on his day job, too.
Webb, who worked for years as an advertising executive, remembers one instance particularly well, during the 1953 season.
In ’52, he travelled with his team to the Mann Cup against orders from his boss – Webb had no more
holiday time, but went back east anyhow – and upon his return, his boss forbid him from playing, lest he risk getting fired.
“The beginning of the next season, I fractured my cheekbone and my whole face was swollen, black-and-blue,” Webb recalled.
“The boss came into my office and asked me what happened to my face. I just said, ‘Oh, I bumped into a door jamb.
“He just smirked and said, ‘Hmm, must’ve
been some door.’”After his playing
career ended, Webb turned to coaching – coaching his youngest son, Scott, in North Vancouver in the 1970s. His two grandsons, Cam and Riley, also played minor lacrosse.
Webb, who has lived on the Peninsula for 20 years, still watches the sport on TV, but admits it’s not the same as it was when he played.
“I don’t know that the game today is the same. Kids today, when they score, they’re
banging the boards with their sticks and jumping around. All this showmanship in sports today is foreign to people who played in my time,” he said.
“Used to be, you scored your goal and somebody might pat you on the fanny with their stick, and you went back to work. You didn’t go running around.”
Players change teams too regularly, too, he said – in all sports, not just lacrosse.
“There were times where I could’ve gone to the Burrards or the Salmonbellies – one of the top teams at the time. I look back, and out of the 10 seasons I played, only four of them was with a winning team. Six years with Richmond, finishing last,” he said.
“People were more loyal in those days.”
He doesn’t regret the decision to stick by the Farmers, though, nor does he lament continuing to play through so many injuries – even if his once-broken leg is “kind of deformed” now, or that, on occasion, his old kidney injury still gives him discomfort.
“What can I say – it’s a hard sport to give up – it’s a game that gets in your blood.”

by Black PressA downturn in the economy usually means fewer jobs.It can also lead to more students attending post-secondary
institutions, putting off entering the job market so they can upgrade their skills and training.
“We have seen an increase over the last couple of years,” said Kathleen Bigsby, director of Institutional Analysis and Planning at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. “We think there’s a link to the labour market, but we don’t know for sure.”
Fall enrollment at Kwantlen rose 10 per cent – or about 1,200 students – from 2008 to 2009. Numbers in the spring also rose, by approximately 3.5 per cent.
“We’re all in the three to five per cent range,” said Bigsby of the increases at post-secondary institutions in the Lower Mainland. “It’s one of the reasons we think it’s the labour market. It’s not just a few institutions, it all of them.”
Jeremy Sabell, executive director of Stenberg College, said enrollment at the Surrey school is up”15 to 20 per cent” to roughly 450 students.
“It’s been up since the downturn in the economy,” he said. “And we see the effects when we hire. There’s strong candidates for jobs that wouldn’t usually draw those applications.”
Norbert Ruimy, director of the Surrey campus of Sprott Shaw Community College says when there’s a downturn in the economy, his institution usually witnesses a rise in enrolment.
“We see a lot of students coming back to take refresher classes – we have free lifetime upgrading – and we notice when the economy starts to turn, students always come back for retraining,” said Ruimy.
“We also have a lot of students that took a program with us, and for some reason did not complete it ... maybe they found a job and worked with a job for five years, and all of a sudden they’re laid off and now they feel they need their diploma.”
Still other students, he says, are looking for greater job security in uncertain economic times.
“We find a lot of people are fed up with this roller-coaster ride so they want to get into a career that is basically recession-proof.”
Ruimy said while student numbers during a slumping economy appear to increase in all areas of studies, including business programs, nursing and early child education, interest in medical fields has risen significantly at Sprott Shaw.
Sabell noted some programs that have strong job prospects for graduates can accommodate more students.
“Enrollment in our Residential Care
Attendant program has fallen off, and we’re not sure why,” he said. “And there’s a ton of opportunities out there in that area.
“And there’s a huge need in our Community Support and outreach Worker (mental health) program. And not as many people in that field as you might think.”

A WinningCombination!
I have been a consistent advertiser with the Peace Arch News since opening my Canadian Tire store in 2000. Over those 10 years, I have participated in many advertising features and they have always helped drive business to my store.
I usually give my sales rep a very limited idea of what I want in my ads and it is amazing how the fi nished product is consistently professional and creative.
This well-read community newspaper produces value for my advertising dollars. The Peace Arch News is my primary advertising vehicle and I am more than satisfi ed with results!
As a locally owned business our mandate is to give back to the community we live and work in. I have always found the Peace Arch News has been by our side, supporting our efforts to help make our community such a wonderful place to be.
I look forward to a long and successful working relationship with the Peace Arch News, “ the voice of the Semiahmoo Peninsula”.
A WinningCombination!
Advertising in the Peace Arch News is good value – it reaches the people we hope to reach in our area. Many of
our customers have told us they saw our ad in the Peace Arch
News and like to shop locally.
The paper has a large readership and focuses on local
events and businesses.
Advertising dollars can only go so far so it’s nice to support a local paper that seems to
address the kind of editorials and ads that are of
interest to the residents of the area.

We have lived in White Rock over 20 years and have enjoyed reading the Peace Arch News. The Peace Arch News has a wonderful local community style to it, it’s one of the things that gives White Rock its “sea side village feel”.
However when we opened up a retail showroom this past April, we also realized how effective advertising in the Peace Arch News can be for business. Most recently, an ad for an innovative new product, in their monthly Young At Heart feature, drove more than a dozen people into our showroom in less than 2 days.
Through the Peace Arch News we are able to reach out to all of our customers throughout the peninsula and we are very pleased with the local response to our business.

Since opening my restaurant at GrandviewCorners more than a year ago, I have foundadvertising in the Peace Arch News to be a simple and effective way to promote my business on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. I have seen especially good results with ads that I have placed in their monthly coupon promotion,Clip or Click. In March of this year, I ran a buy-one-get-one-free coupon on the back page of the coupon wrap and was delighted to receive more than 300 coupons back from customers over subsequent weeks.On the advice of my advertising representative,there was no expiration date on the coupon which was extremely helpful with the promotion,as it encouraged people to come in even weeks after the advertisement was published.I was very impressed with the response to the coupon and the feedback that I have receivedfrom customers since then has been extremelypositive as well. Working with the Peace Arch News over the past year has been a pleasant and benefi cial experience, and everyone involved in the ad-making process has always gone to great lengths to make sure my ads are just the way I want them.I would highly recommend any local businesses advertise with Peace Arch News – after seeing first hand the positive response from theirreaders, I am confi dent that my ads have paid off with increased customer visits.

Story and photos by Jim RobinsonMetroland NewspapersCarguide Magazine
UCLUELET, B.C.: “This is the best car they’ve ever built,” my usual co-driver said over and over again.
He was talking about the 2011 Infi niti M sedan. The only question was which one?
First let me set the stage. The M is now in its third generation; the fi rst one debuting in 2003.
Like the last generation M there is one sedan with a choice of two engines and rear or all-wheel-drive (RWD or AWD). They are badged as the M37, M37x, M56 and M56X respectively.
The M37 uses the latest version of the long-serving “VQ” DOHC V6 but now with variable valve lift technology producing 330 hp and 270 lb/ft of torque, up 27 hp and 8 lb/ft over the current model. Fuel economy has been improved to 11.4/7.6L/100 km city/highway for the RWD and 12.0/8.3L/100 km city/highway for the AWD.
The M56 uses a 5.6-litre DOHC V8 now with gasoline direct injection for a thumping 420 hp and 417 lb/ft of torque up an impressive 95 hp and 81 lb/ft over the current model. But fuel consumption is actually slightly better at 12.9/8.0L/100 km city/highway for the RWD and 13.4/8.5L/100 km city/highway for the AWD.
Of the two, the M37x, probably because of the AWD, seemed more sure-footed but not as fast as the M56 when it came to coping with road conditions.
Over a stretch of about 400 km from Nanaimo to Ucluelet and back, surfaces ranged from four-lane highway, to twisting two-laners overland to challenging off-camber 30 km turns across the tops of the mountains in rain, drizzle and sun.
The M56 was by far the most powerful. With all that newfound torque, passing was a breeze even on the few short stretches available.
And because this was the Sport model that had much larger 14.0 and 13.8 inch brakes fore and aft, stopping was swift with the added bonus of the balance of the binders being such that you could modulate the bite so as to only scrub off as much speed as necessary.
The Sport model (available only with RWD) also features 4Wheel Active Steer that allows the rear wheels a one degree steer angle to set up the rear in a turn.
The other thing was the M56 had the upgraded 20-inch wheels with low profi le tires which were less compliant on uneven and rutted roads than the standard 19-inch tires with slightly higher sidewalls as fi tted to the M37x.
Making spirited driving all the better was the standard seven-speed automatic. Heading into a corner, with the brakes either on hard or soft, the transmissions blips the throttle during down shifts and always, it seemed, at the right moment now matter how slowly or urgently I used the brakes.
Interestingly, the M56 Sport weighs slightly less than the M37x yet the M37x felt better in the conditions we encountered.
The only thing we could fi gure out was the better weight distribution fore and aft due to the AWD and the more forgiving tires made the difference.
But it was close.The new M sedans are also the best looking cars to
come from Infi niti in a long time. Much of the inspiration comes from the Essence concept car that got such rave reviews last year on the car show circuit.
You can see it in the high rising front fender line and the low-slung grille. Slightly wider and longer than the current model, it is also 76 mm lower giving the M a more balanced profi le.
The interior is tasteful, and I don’t say that very often about Japanese cars. Sure it’s about fi ne leathers and woods, but where you see the thought is in the many fi nishing details like the teardrop shape of the inside door pulls and their surrounds. They pick up the fl owing shape of the instrument panel and carry it on past the front seat where they are repeated in the back.
Optional is something called the Forest Air System. There is a “breeze mode” that pumps the air around the cabin so it feels like you’re in the forest. On top of that, it regulates the air conditioner to add humidity instead of just dry air. It also features an auto recirculation system that detects certain gasses on odours coming in from outside and quells them.
Standard is Infi niti Drive. This is a rotary knob between the front seats that lets the driver select one of four modes that alter with transmission shift points and engine mapping.
Standard Mode is just that and optimized for everyday travel. Eco sets the M up for better fuel economy. Here the car prompts you to be easier on the gas to the point the accelerator pedal needs a little extra foot pressure if you want to go for power. Sport extends to shift points and valve closing for the best performance. And Snow Mode is for what the name implies.
Beside all the driver safety technology you expect in a car of this caliber like ABS, stability control and traction control, Infi niti has looked at how to protect and alert the driver of dangers before they become threats.
There is Intelligent Cruise Control that works with
Distance Control Assist and keeps you at a preset distance from the vehicle in front regardless of speed.
In addition to Blind Sport Warning where a light comes on in the A-pillar when a car gets too close, Blind Spot Intervention moves the car slightly if another vehicle is in too close.
There’s so much more like the optional 16-speaker Bose Surround system of the navigation/infotainment system with 9.3 gig hard drive that can store up to 2,000 songs.
Pricing starts at $52,400 for the M37 or $63,400 for the M37 with the Sport option with its 20-inch wheels and sport suspension. The M37x ranges from $54,900 to $63,800 with all options in.
The M56 starts at $66,200 for the RWD and tops out at $73,800 for the M56x with all options. Even at that, it is still less than the starting price for the BMW550.
M37 or M56, this is really a driver’s car, not one for boulevard cruising although it sure has the looks to draw stares.
But you’ll have to test them both out yourself to fi nd out.

TOM FLETCHER (Black Press)Canada’s fi rst restrictions on
sale and possession of soft body
armour have taken effect in B.C.,
and two other provinces are also
trying to deprive gang members of
one of their status symbols.B.C. passed legislation last fall
to require a permit to buy body armour, and those who currently
own or sell it, have six months from July 1 to pass a criminal record check and obtain a permit.
Police can now confi scate body armour from those who don’t have
a permit or exemption. Alberta passed legislation this
spring to create similar restric-tions, and Manitoba has intro-duced legislation. Opposition crit-
ics in Alberta compared the permit
plan with the federal government’s
costly long-gun registry, and security experts noted that body
armour can be bought from the U.S. or overseas through websites
that promise world-wide shipping.
The B.C. law exempts police offi -
cers, sheriffs, corrections offi cers,
conservation offi cers, armoured
car guards, security guards, security consultants and private
investigators. Out-of-province indi-
viduals who require body armour
to work have to apply for a 90-day
permit exemption.When the bill was introduced,
former public safety minister Kash Heed said the government
expected few applications for per-
mits, such as for gang associates
in protective custody in order to
testify in court.Vancouver Police encountered
people with body armour and no legitimate use for it 230 times
between 2002 and 2009.
B.C. BODY ARMOUR RULE TAKES EFFECTSALMON ARM OBSERVER (Black Press)
One person is dead and eight injured after a
speedboat and a houseboat collided late Saturday
night near Magna Bay on Shuswap Lake.
Thirteen people were on board the 40-foot pri-
vately owned houseboat when it was hit by an
18-foot Campion runabout speedboat about 11:20
p.m. Three people were on the speedboat.
The owner of the houseboat, a 40-year-old man
from Anglemont, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The man’s identity has not yet been released.
The crash occurred in the middle of the lake,
shortly after a number of boaters had begun to
disperse after viewing a fi reworks display.
“The collision vaulted the Campion directly into
the main cabin portion of the houseboat where it
came to a rest, completely embedding itself into
the interior of the houseboat,” said RCMP Cpl. Dan
Moskaluk in a press release.“Other boaters in the area assisted immediately
and rendered fi rst aid to the occupants of the
houseboat and speedboat. The two vessels were
then towed into shore by those assisting where fi rst
responders met them.”Eight people involved in the crash were trans-
ported to Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops.
Injuries sustained ranged from minor bruises to
fractures and head injuries. Two of those injured
remain in hospital.The boats are being removed from the lake for
examination. Chase RCMP and the BC Coroners
Service are investigating the collision.

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and is the leading cause of disability in elderly people. 42.4% of British Columbians older than 65 report that they have arthritis and approximately 306,000 people in our province sought medical treatment for this condition in 2005. This results in a large cost to our health care system and more importantly can lead to a decreased quality of life for those affected with uncontrolled pain. Arthritis is a progressive disorder characterized by infl ammation and a resulting in loss of cartilage in the joint. This causes pain and stiffness in the joints and leads to decreased mobility. The most common joints affected are the knees, hips, hands, spine and big toes although it can occur in other joints as well.The most common risk factors for developing arthritis are obesity, joint trauma, certain occupations, family history and the one that none of us can avoid….getting older. So as our population ages, the incidence of arthritis is expected to increase.Some people with arthritis don’t require any specifi c treatment at all. However, options range from exercise and weight control, to physiotherapy, medications and natural products. Surgery can be considered as a last resort depending on the severity of the symptoms. Different medications target different parts of the problem. Some target pain only, others infl ammation or cartilage damage. Not all medications are right for every person as it depends on your specifi c symptoms, your other medical conditions, and other medications that you may take. However, there are many effective treatment options available to discuss with your health care provider to determine which is right for you.

The key to maintaining your health is prevention. It is far easier to care for the fi rst indications that something is wrong than to try and fi x a problem that has caused signifi cant damage.
What does Infrared Full Body Imaging have to offer?
Infrared imaging may provide you with an early warning system. Unlike other forms of imaging that detect structural changes such as a tumor, infrared imaging looks at the body’s subtle chemical and nervous system signals. These neurochemical signals may be sent far in advance of signifi cant damage to the body. Other tests may say whether or not a tumor is present, but infrared imaging offers a warning for many of the health problems that ruin our quality of life. With this information in hand, you and your health care provider can outline a method for treating a current problem or possibly preventing future problems before they cause irreversible damage.
