Decade-old heritage policy yet to be used

Treesnot onrecordTracy HolmesStaff Reporter

A White Rock man is consider-ing legal action after returning home last week to find an “abso-lutely perfect” Douglas fir on his property damaged by excavation.

“They dug three feet into the base of that tree, which means they have basically wiped out all the feeder roots,” Barry Belec said as he surveyed the aftermath.

“This whole thing is tragic. Every arbourist that’s ever looked at it has said… it’s as close as pos-sible to a perfect specimen.”

The tree stands on the edge of Belec’s Buena Vista Avenue prop-erty. About 130 feet tall and more than a century old, its trunk abuts a fence mark-ing the prop-erty line.

It is also among four on the Buena Vista Avenue property that Belec has asked the city

to consider for heritage status.Belec said he discovered the

damage around 12:30 p.m. May 31. While the City of White Rock’s arbourist attended the site that day, director of operations Rob Thomp-son said the matter is a civil one.

“We don’t have any authority to be involved,” Thompson said Thursday, noting the tree does not fall under the jurisdiction of the tree bylaw.

Distracted driving by cellphone users must end, says South Surrey man

Mother’s death inspires global effortTracy HolmesStaff Reporter

A South Surrey man whose mother was killed overseas last week by a driver who was reportedly talking on a cellphone is calling for tougher penalties for distracted drivers.

“We’ve got to get some more action with the laws,” said Ed Pereira. “The regulations are ineffective.”

Pereira said his mother, Ivy, 89, was walking to church in Goa, India early May 30, when she was struck as she crossed a road. She died later that day of head injuries sustained in the collision.

Pereira said he was told the motorist behind the wheel was driving too fast and talking on a cellphone at the time.

Like B.C., India has laws prohibiting the use of handheld cellphones while driving.

They’ve been in effect here since Jan. 1, 2010. In the first year, 32,000 drivers were cited.

But Pereira said his mother’s death – along with close calls he has experienced here –

proves more needs to be done to get the mes-sage out. At the moment, those found guilty of distracted driving in B.C. receive $167 tickets and three penalty points on their insurance.

Pereira is calling for driver’s licences to be revoked for at least six months on first offences. While he acknowl-edged it’s a move that likely won’t happen soon, he is certain the threat of losing their licences would cause more drivers to think twice before dialing behind the wheel.

“It’ll probably never happen in this lifetime, but we have to try,” Pereira said. “If the laws are not punitive, the public doesn’t pay attention.”

According to the RCMP, distracted driving was a contributing factor in

48 per cent of traffic fatalities in the Lower Mainland last year.

Pereira said he has had his own share of close calls. Late January, he was nearly hit by a driver on a cellphone while crossing Vancouver’s

Main Street. The driver stopped “within two feet” of me, he said.

More recently – and closer to home – he was almost hit as he crossed 18 Avenue in the pedestrian-activated crosswalk at Southmere Crescent. The driver, who stopped “barely a metre from me,” had a toddler in the backseat and a cellphone in her hand, Pereira said.

He believes the next close call would have been his last.

“I’m not a superstitious person, but I believe my mother took the third hit… took my place,” he said. “This has to stop.”

Pereira has written to South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale MP Russ Hiebert to ask for change, and is encouraging others – including friends and relatives in Australia, India and Toronto – to follow suit.

Even if the effort simply inspires a few drivers to make a change, it will help, he said.

“There’s carnage going on out there… in spite of the laws,” he said. “The next person hit might be somebody’s child or mother.”

Jeff NagelBlack Press

The China syndrome stoking Metro Van-couver home prices is very real, according to a study of B.C.’s real estate markets.

Landcor Data Corp. examined luxury home sales over the past three years in Richmond and Vancouver’s west side and found a large and growing proportion of buyers are likely from mainland China.

President Rudy Nielsen – a South Surrey resident – said his research-ers conducted the survey to either verify or disprove anecdotal claims by realtors that Chinese buyers are increasingly skewing the higher end of the Metro market.

Landcor looked at transactions and flagged buyers with pure Chinese names who have spellings typical in the People’s Republic of China, filtering out those with Westernized first names as well as non-Chinese names.

They found 74 per cent or 122 out of the 164 homes sold in 2010 above the “luxury” threshold ($3 million for houses on Vancou-ver’s west side and $2 million for condos in Richmond) were bought by buyers who fit the mainland China profile.

That was a jump from 2009, when 68 per cent of luxury homes (49 out of 72) in the two areas were matched to likely Chinese buyers.

In 2008, 46 per cent or 32 out of 69 sales fit the profile.

“Definitely the Chinese are here and they’re buying,” Nielsen said.

The same phenomenon of increased Chi-nese buying is being reported in more desir-able neighbourhoods from White Rock to the North Shore.

“The Chinese investor is investing or buy-ing in certain areas but not every area,” Nielsen said.

“Hot areas were Richmond, parts of Van-

couver, West Vancouver and believe it or not, South Surrey.”

South Surrey offers Chinese buyers an unheard of chance to get an acre or two of land in a good area near good schools, he said.

“The for sale signs don’t last more than a week,” he said. “They love it here.”

Clean environment, a stable econ-omy and safe society are among the attractants.

There’s some trickle down to other areas and lower-end segments of the market, he said, but called those impacts minor.

The average price of Metro Van-couver detached houses has climbed to $807,000 in the first quarter of this year, up 11.9 per cent from a year earlier.

Prices have risen swiftly in Rich-mond, where median house prices broke through $1 million earlier this year.

Nielsen is quick to point out Landcor’s senior data analyst who crunched the num-bers hails from the city of Wuhu in China’s Anhui province and says the research firm has no position on complaints foreign buy-ers are hurting the affordability of housing in B.C.

The appetite of Chinese firms for B.C.’s commodities is also being felt in the rest of the province.

The Landcor report notes Chinese state firms recently bought into a major gas field near Dawson Creek and took over a pulp mill at Port Alice.

But Landcor warns Canada’s resource boom and soaring dollar could eventually end in a crash that could also see a flight of Chinese investment dollars out of B.C.

“The PRC is heavily investing in Metro Vancouver for homes (and) outer B.C. for steady resource pools, but for how long?” it asks. “Bubbles can certainly burst and the economic shrapnel could be painful.”

Alex BrowneStaff Reporter

It’s a case of fiscal deja vu.The new federal budget is much

the same as the Conservatives’ pre-election ‘Jobs and Growth’ budget, South Surrey-White Rock-Clover-dale MP Russ Hiebert admits.

But he’s hoping there’s a few addi-tions that will please taxpayers in the $281.4-billion package – includ-ing a promise the federal deficit will evaporate as early as 2014-15.

“We’re now on track to eliminate our deficit one year earlier than planned,” Hiebert said in a state-ment prepared shortly after the budget was released Monday by Finance Minister Jim Flaherty.

“That means, in three years time, we’ll have a balanced budget and then we can reduce taxes even fur-ther for hard-working Canadian families.”

Hiebert pointed out the Con-servative government’s plan calls for a reduction in overall program

spending by five per cent – which is estimated to produce $4 billion in annual savings starting next fis-cal year.

But critics, such as NDP Oppo-sition leader Jack Layton, have faulted the budget for giving no specifics of program cuts – not-ing the Conservatives have previ-ously claimed civil-service attrition would take care of much of the reduction in spending.

Tax giveaways to profitable cor-porations as a function of targeted job creation have also come under fire from the NDP.

Aside from compensation to Que-bec for implementing the HST, the only other budget measure to gain Opposition approval is a $400-mil-lion extension of the ecoEnergy program, which encourages home renovations that reduce electricity and heating costs, something the NDP had requested in earlier bud-get discussions.

Local NDP candidate Susan Keep-

ing, who polled second highest in Hiebert’s riding in last month’s election, said the budget is “disap-pointing.”

“On a personal level, when I look at this bud-get, I see a five per cent reduc-tion, but nobody says where this is coming from. That makes me uncomfortable – people should be demanding to know what is going to be cut. The government, as our representatives, needs to be open and honest about this.”

Keeping said she believes that civil-service attrition will not be a factor in the Conservatives’ reduc-tion in spending.

“If they’re doing a quick five per cent cut, they are not going to be waiting for people to move on or retire,” she said.

Keeping, a White Rock resident and executive director of the New-ton Advocacy Group Society, said she is particularly concerned about impacts on social services.

“I have heard they are looking at what the Liberals did when they came into office and wanted to reduce the deficit. We all know how much that hurt health, educa-tion and social services.”

Keeping said the recent Home-less Count in the Lower Mainland indicated social services are man-aging to make some headway in helping society’s poorest.

“When cuts come, we may lose the headway we’ve gained,” she warned.

But Hiebert noted the new bud-get includes increases to trans-fer payments for health care and education in B.C. The health-care component will rise to almost $3.8 billion, an increase of $216 million over last year, while the Canada Social Transfer, which funds edu-

cation and housing, now stands at $1.5 billion – a rise of $349 million since 2005-’06.

Surrey Board of Trade CEO Anita Huberman said that while the new budget offers “no surprises” – it is still, like the pre-election budget, “good news for business.”

“What we’ve always wanted is for them to restore the budget balance – to reduce debt so that there is a balanced budget, and we’re hope-ful they can do that by 2014-15,” she said.

“We want to ensure the economy is competitive and that we’re not raising taxes for business, and this includes only a minimal increase in business taxes.

“The biggest challenge for the federal government is to restrain their program spending while not compromising social-service pro-grams. The Surrey Board of Trade is serious about not compromising those programs, which are all part and parcel of a healthy economy.”

School infestation discovered last fall

EMS hopeful rat tale comes to a closeTracy HolmesStaff Reporters

Students at Earl Marriott Secondary are sharing the South Surrey school with unin-vited visitors this year – rats.

Identified in the 15751 16 Ave. building last fall, the rodents became a growing con-cern in the spring, school district spokesman Doug Strachan confirmed Monday.

Initial strategies to address the problem “appeared to do the trick,” but had to be repeated around March, and then ramped up in late April-early May, when a larger problem was identified, Strachan said.

“There’s been progress. There’s fewer being caught or seen now,” he said. “Everything that can be done is being done at this point.”

According to information posted on the school website last month, officials are work-ing with a pest-control company, the district’s facilities and health and safety departments, and Fraser Health to address the problem.

Parents are aware of the issue and have raised no concerns, Strachan added.

“There’s been positive feedback by the par-ents that it’s being managed appropriately.”

The strategy for addressing the problem to date has included an increase in pest-control visits to the site, from two or three times a week to at least five times a week.

As well, an extra custodian has been brought in to clean garbage outside the build-ing; lunch hour garbage is being removed within 30 minutes; pea gravel is being placed

around exterior walls to prevent rodent entry; and affected interior spaces are being sanitized on weekends.

Regular meetings with Fraser Health offi-cials have determined the school has “the best cleanliness rating for a building of our size,” principal Peter Johnston’s online letter states. Both the cafeteria and home eco-nomics facilities have been deemed safe, it adds – a point Fraser Health spokesman Roy Thorpe-Dorward confirmed.

Health inspectors were last at the school May 13, Thorpe-Dorward said.

“It was a very good inspection and they received a low hazard rating,” he said. “They were doing all the right things.”

As long as an increase in the problem isn’t

noted, the health authority will next inspect the school in early September, he said.

Strachan said the principal has also reported positive response from the students, who are “really getting” the need to not leave food and trash in the hallways.

Strachan noted rodent infestations are not unusual in buildings where there is a large amount of food. In his seven years with the district, he is aware of only three or four schools in which the problem was to a degree that pest control needed to be brought in.

In most cases, the issue is mice, he said.“Considering we have 125 schools, it’s not

that often,” Strachan said. Student safety is “first and foremost,” he

noted.

MP Russ Hiebert

Jail sought for former officer

A sentencing hearing for a former police officer who pleaded guilty last year to traf-ficking marijuana has been stymied by a dis-agreement between lawyers arguing the case.

The arrest of White Rock resident Peter Hodson followed a two-month investigation into allegations that a Vancouver constable was selling marijuana on- and off-duty.

The sentencing hearing got underway in Vancou-ver Provincial Court last week, but defence coun-sel Vincent Michaels said it was adjourned so he and Crown Joe Bellows could “have discussions” over what issues should be considered by the sen-tencing judge.

If a resolution is not reached, a hearing on the disputed facts may be necessary, Michaels said. The matter is due back in court June 17.

While Bellows is arguing for a minimum three-year jail term, Michaels said he will sug-gest a “lengthy” conditional sentence order for Hodson, to be served in the community.

However, the city’s position would be different, Thompson confirmed, if the tree in question had heritage designation.

“It becomes a protected tree,” he said, citing fines and penalties of up to $10,000 outlined in the city’s tree bylaw for damage to, or removal of, protected trees.

But while the City of White Rock has had a heritage-tree policy on the books for more than a decade, there has yet to be a single tree in the city protected by it.

A heritage-tree policy was adopted in September 2000. Coun. Helen Fathers said she discovered about a month ago that there were no trees protected by it.

“I was shocked,” Fathers said of the revelation. “For it to be in place for 11 years (and have no trees registered), I don’t under-stand that.”

In discussing the issue last month with mem-bers of the city’s environ-ment committee, Fathers encouraged the group to recommend to council that the process of regis-tering trees get underway.

The recommendation was on council’s agenda May 30, along with others related to the city’s policy for trees on public land. However, rather than dis-cuss them, council voted to refer all of the recom-mendations to staff who are reviewing Policy 611.

Last week’s request for action on heritage trees was not the first time the city has been asked to move on the policy.

According to minutes of 2008 environment com-mittee meetings, a lack of identified heritage trees was noted. The city’s 2008 Environmental Strate-gic Plan lists creating an inventory of valued and heritage trees in the city, aimed at protecting and enhancing tree canopy.

Belec, a former member of the environment com-mittee, said one of his last acts in 2002 was to submit a list of 36 trees for heri-tage consideration.

Belec said he was sur-prised to learn last month that no one at city hall knows of the list.

Thompson, hired by the city a year ago, said coun-

cil asked his department to bring the heritage-designation process forward. The motion asked that six trees – elms on Elm Street, oaks on the White Rock Elemen-tary site, ivy trees at Five Corners and an eagles-nest tree on Marine Drive – be placed on the registry.

A draft of the updated policy is expected by council this month.

Thompson said he, too, was surprised to learn the city has no designated trees after more than 10 years with a heritage policy. He speculated shifts in focus over the years may have played a role, along with high staff turnover.

“If (Belec) submitted it person-ally to somebody and they didn’t do anything with it, we have no way of finding it,” he said.

Thompson noted simply sub-mitting a list wouldn’t guaran-tee protection. Each tree would

be evaluated based on the policy, which currently identifies cultural and historical significance and whether the tree is a landmark as among factors to consider.

Thompson described the pro-cess of designating heritage trees as “a worthwhile endeavour.”

“Trees are an emotional issue,” he said. “They are a visual and historical element of the city. In some ways, they are the continu-ity of the city.”

Belec said his damaged tree was among those originally planted on the property that once lined a driveway that stretched to Thrift Avenue. Now, he’s worried the excavation work could affect its integrity long-term.

“This is very sad for me,” Belec said. “This feels like the most hor-rific molestation and violation of my home and my property.”

A Surrey senior has been convicted of second-degree murder for slaying his wife in 2009.

Sebastiano Damin was on trial in B.C. Supreme Court for the fatal stabbing of Maria Catroppa.

Catroppa, 69, was found dead in the couple’s townhouse in a gated complex near 85 Avenue and 164 Street on Nov. 24, 2009. Damin was 74 at the time of the murder. They had been married for about 10 years – the second marriage for both.

During the trial in New Westminster Supreme Court in April, a psychiatrist testified that Damin told her that he and

his wife had been having escalating marital troubles and Catroppa wanted him to leave.

He said that on the day of the stabblng, the pair had gone to bed

in separate rooms as usual. But when he got up in the middle of the night to get a drink, “something snapped” in his head, he told the psychiatrist, and he took a knife into his wife’s bedroom and stabbed her. After the first few strikes, he said, he didn’t remember what happened.

A forensic pathologist testified Catroppa had been stabbed 126 times.

Damin said he tried to kill himself, but couldn’t go through with it, and instead called 911.

The defence had wanted a conviction of manslaughter, but Justice Ian Josephson found Damin exhibited the “requisite intent” for a second-degree murder conviction.

“He believed his wife was going to cause that much-feared separation,” Josephson said Thursday in his written reasons for judgment. “This made him very angry, and that anger motivated the knife attack on the victim.

“Unfortunately, it is not uncommon in situations of domestic violence to see physical attacks on a spouse motivated by anger at an unwanted separation.”

Family and friends of Catroppa cheered and hugged and gave one another high fives after hearing the court decision.

Catroppa’s eldest daughter, Jay Tuason, said that though nothing will bring her mother back, “as a family, it is important for us to make

sense of it. It’s important for us to see other women helped.”

Catroppa’s children have created a university endowment for women in their mother’s name.

“Mom was one of those women you’d never suspect of being abused,” said daughter Giuseppiana Osterman. “She was very devoted as a wife.”

Catroppa’s daughters, who both wear gold lockets around their necks with their mom’s photo, said their mother is like many women, who stay in abusive relationships until it’s too late.

The Maria Catroppa Memorial Award Fund at Kwantlen

Polytechnic University aims to help single mothers further their education.

“Although Maria fought adversity during her life,” reads a description of the award, “she did not let it define her; instead, she shared her heart and her home with all who entered. She demonstrated love, determination, and perseverance throughout her life and believed that education was the key to success.”

Damin is to be sentenced Friday, June 10.

We’ve come a long way, baby.The huge crowds that have gathered

at downtown viewing sites to watch the Vancouver Canucks’ drive to win their first Stanley Cup have been celebratory and well-behaved. No matter that they’re crammed onto narrow city blocks straining to see what they can on distant big screen monitors.

The surrounding municipalities have also jumped on board, multiplying the sites as the series moved to Boston for games three and four. Surrey, Burnaby, Abbotsford and Richmond all set up big screens for large gatherings of fans to soak in the Stanley Cup vibe.

It’s human nature to share the company of others at monumental occasions, be they happy ones, like a victory in the Stanley Cup or the arrival of a new year; or tragic, like the 9-11 terror attacks or the assassination of a beloved world leader.

Most world-class cities have some sort of easily accessible location to host huge gatherings of people: New York has Central Park; Paris has the Champs de Mars below the Eiffel Tower, London has Hyde Park, Berlin has the wide boulevards and parks around the Brandenburg Gate.

Limited space and short-sighted urban design have left Vancouver without such a venue. That absence was a contributing factor to the 1994 Stanley Cup riot, when post-game crowds ran amok downtown because they had no place to go, and the ensuing chaos left a black mark on the city’s reputation.

But the lessons learned from that experience were put to good use during the 2010 Winter Olympics, when organizers created satellite gathering sites to serve the crowds seeking some Olympic buzz. It worked. A good time was had by all.

That spirit has fueled the Stanley Cup street party, and was only slightly (and temporarily, we trust) dampened after the Bruins’ 8-1 drubbing of the Canucks on Monday night.

The addition of suburban sites has spread the party atmosphere around the Metro Vancouver region.

The lack of stories on the nightly news about stabbings and liquor seizures at these sites are testimony to how well they’ve been managed and how far the region has really come since ’94.

And if the home team can hold up its end of the bargain, there might be a whole lot more worth celebrating in the next few days.

editorial

The treaty with the Yale First Nation in the Fraser Canyon was hastily approved as the B.C.

legislature adjourned for the summer last week.

This treaty was by far the most significant work of the legislature session, and it may make or break the hugely expensive B.C. treaty effort. Yet it received all of four hours of debate during the abbreviated spring legislature session and will probably get little attention when it reaches the House of Commons for final approval.

A few eyebrows were raised when Chief Justice Lance Finch of the B.C. Court of Appeal entered the legislature to give royal assent to the treaty and a handful of other bills. This would normally be the duty of Lt.-Gov. Steven Point, but he was on a four-day visit to promote literacy at reserves in the Quesnel and Williams Lake area.

I’m advised by the lieutenant-governor’s staff that this trip had been scheduled for some time, and his absence had nothing to do with the treaty awaiting his signature. It is purely a coincidence that Point is a former tribal chair of the Sto:lo Nation, which

sent a delegation to the legislature to protest the Yale treaty just before it was tabled.

The only substantive scrutiny of the treaty, and the only vote against it, came from independent Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson. He stressed that he supports the Yale’s right to a treaty, but detailed the Sto:lo’s objections.

Their central objection is that the 150-member Yale band is an arbitrary creation of the Indian Act, a splinter group of the larger Sto:lo Nation. The treaty formalizes the Yale’s control over key canyon fishing and rack-drying sites that were vital to survival for thousands of years.

Ottawa outlawed transfer of native hereditary property rights in its notorious potlatch law of 1884, and native fish sales in 1888.

This disrupted whatever order had been imposed by Sto:lo clans on the fishing sites. Some Sto:lo people were moved south to reserves in the Fraser Valley, where they were expected to abandon their traditional ways and become farmers.

Sto:lo Nation president Joe Hall put it to me this way: “I don’t want to be like

Donald Trump and look at people’s birth certificates, but the Yale are a Sto:lo band. They would have been chased out of there a long time ago if they weren’t.”

In the treaty debate, Simpson put it to Aboriginal Relations Minister Mary Polak that the federal and provincial governments have resorted to a “first-past-the-post” system to force progress on treaties. He said the tiny Yale community gets a huge advantage by completing a treaty, while some Sto:lo bands remain at an early stage of negotiations and still others aren’t in treaty talks.

Polak cited a section that is now standard in modern treaties. It protects the constitutional rights of other aboriginals where a court upholds a claim to Yale territory, which they will soon own as fee-simple property.

Polak insisted the Yale treaty will ease tensions in the disputed fishing sites, where violent incidents have taken place. She argued that exclusive access to the main areas of dispute was long ago included in the Yale’s original reserves. The treaty will provide a process for temporary access by other people, native and non-native.

We will see if she is right, perhaps as early as this summer.

There are two regions of B.C. where the encroachment of European settlers led to shooting wars with aboriginal people. One was the Cariboo-Chilcotin and the other was the Fraser Canyon.

Lack of logic in parking plans Editor: Re: Five Corners parking rules to stay, June 3.

I am continually amazed at the knee-jerk, kids-fighting-in-the-sandbox approach that White Rock council has regarding parking.

I have been a taxpayer in White Rock for 14 years and, for the same length of time, have been frustrated by the varied and ever-changing parking decisions.

When I lived on Roper Street, my driveway was frequently blocked by vehicles from the apartment building across the street. I often had to call the bylaw department just to be able to leave my home.

A ticket was never issued, unlike their approach on the beach.

Parking at the apartment was insufficient and, as such, residents claimed they had no option. The homes on Roper could not get out of driveways, have space for visitors to park or allow their children out to play, with cars turning in driveways.

White Rock’s response? Change the bylaw to three-day maximum and paint ridiculous lines on the roadway – a sheer waste of taxpayer money.

So now we have a situation of people parking vehicles long-term, moving them every three days or so. This has been a godsend for the employees of Peace Arch Hospital, who now use the surrounding residential streets to park.

Take a walk up Merklin; there is nary a single open spot, as various hospital-clad employees make their way from their vehicles to work, and the enormous pay lot north of 16 Avenue remains vacant.

I have had to put cement blocks on my yard to prevent such parking on the side streets.

So, there’s a three-day limit anywhere in the city, but if I want to run into town to see the naturopath, go for sushi or spend some money in my city, I am limited to one hour?

I am astounded at the logic and reasoning behind any of the decisions made in White Rock. Here’s an idea, perhaps we should publish the residential addresses of all White Rock council and park our cars in front of their homes for three days at a time.

The present attitude White Rock has regarding parking diminishes enjoyment of home life for residents and hurts local business, whether at the beach or uptown.

This is what we voted for?Lisa Hodgetts, White Rock

Bad taste over horse meatEditor:

Recently, the Food Network’s Top Chef Canada program featured a dish with horse meat.

I thought this chosen ingredient would undoubtedly stir the pot – not so much for calling the kettle black but more to incite a feeding frenzy of debate – but it didn’t.

Top Chef Canada’s rationale was that the particular episode was inspired by the cuisine de France. However, the cook-off took place in Canada, with Canadian ingredients – in this case, some noble horse that used to be someone’s beloved pet.

And in the end, the ratings probably increased, sadly.

My only question is why?Why judge a chef on his/her

ability to cook something so foreign not only to our country but to our palate? Is it truly necessary to weed out less-worthy chefs via horse meat? Do such ingredients truly reveal the master?

It’s not so much the ingredient that disturbs me; rather, it’s the reason behind it. To blame it on French cuisine being the challenge, so therefore we must forge on, is simply weak. It sends a message that there was no thought there, not one person on the production side had the will power to say, wait, we don’t have to do it just because Chef Gordon Ramsay did it.

The lack of critical and independent thinking is beyond scary. I mean, what’s on next week’s

menu? Cats and dogs to celebrate some restaurants in Malaysia?

And why stop there? For the ultimate cook-off ,why not just go for it: Cannibalism to celebrate areas of the world that still eat that crazy meat, man.

Talk about bad taste personified.Jill Tunbridge, Surrey

Business backs six-lane bridgeEditor:

There has been a great deal of concern over the last six months that there was to be a change in the government view on the solution to replacing or refurbishing of the 74-year-old Pattullo Bridge connecting Surrey with New Westminster.

In the fall of 2010, it was learned the Department of Transportation had asked TransLink to review its plans for the crossing and investigate whether refurbishing the span would be a satisfactory

alternative to building a new bridge.For quite a long time now, it

appeared there was no alternative to replacement being considered, and when the request came to light, there was considerable concern that a less-than-satisfactory conclusion would be decided, i.e. not to replace the bridge.

Subsequently, TransLink has announced the only viable solution would be to replace the bridge. However there is still some concern that they may opt for a four-lane span rather than the six-lane structure that many agree is the appropriate solution to current and future needs.

There is still some discussion as to how the bridge would be paid for, so the Surrey Board of Trade can wait until an overall funding position for TransLink is determined before taking a position on that.

The Surrey Board of Trade, as Surrey’s business organization, endorses and supports the construction of a new, six-lane bridge to replace the old span.Anita Patil Huberman, Surrey Board of Trade

Editor: Re: Intolerance not akin to bullying, June 1 letters.

I read with disgust the disrespect and ignorance expressed by letter-writer Mike Schouten toward the gay community’s attempts at education within the community.

Words like “the physical and mental perils that come with living a homosexual lifestyle” and “their choice to practise a completely unnatural lifestyle” are not only bigoted but are dangerous and misleading statements, which do nothing to educate our youth – and many adults, for that matter.

Homosexuality is not a “choice”; it is a sexual identity. Skin colour is not a choice. Abortion is a choice. Marriage is a choice.

And if you believe that a heterosexual lifestyle does not come with physical and mental perils, just ask a victim of domestic violence or a broken family.

Schouten needs to break away from his close-minded and mean-spirited view of the world, and learn not to “bully” those who are different than he is. He’d be doing his children a service at the same time. And the rest of us wouldn’t have to listen to his sordid opinions.B. Lister, White Rock

Labelling the victimsI found Mike Schouten’s letter to be offensive, and I’m

disappointed with Peace Arch News for granting him a soapbox on which to promote his misguided bigotry.

The bullying of youth based on sexual orientation is a serious problem in our society. It is reprehensible to attempt to distort this issue and label the victims as bullies, for merely standing up for themselves.

Intolerance is, in fact, akin to bullying when that

intolerance is expressed publicly, along with a call to action to others of like mind.

It is obvious to most of us that homosexuality is neither a lifestyle nor an ideology – and it certainly not a choice. This fact is apparently lost on Schouten.

What bothers me most is his claim to parent his children to treat everyone with respect and avoid bullying. I would like this to be true, but it seems improbable given the opinion conveyed in his letter.

He suggests he has some knowledge of the “physical and mental perils” of homosexuality. The greatest peril is certainly to endure the prejudice and harassment of an ignorant minority who continue to discriminate against them. Fortunately this minority is shrinking in our increasingly enlightened society.Rob Walter, Surrey

A simple questionI respect the fact that Mike Shouten is entitled to his

opinions. Indeed, I’m a strong advocate of the “I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend you to the death for your right to say it” school of thought.

I do, however, grow weary of hearing people like Shouten perpetuate the patently false notion that the “homosexual lifestyle” is a choice. It is not, and I can prove it by asking Schouten – or anyone else who spouts this nonsense – a simple question.

Since one’s sexuality and gender preference are significant parts of one’s personality, the “choice” to be straight or not must surely be a momentous and thus, memorable event. Therefore, Mr. Shouten, my question to you is this: How old were you when you consciously made the choice to be straight?Nancy Glover, Surrey

Weekend murderA police investigation

is underway after a 43-year-old man was found dead in Surrey on Saturday night.

Surrey RCMP discovered the body in a home near 74 Avenue and 140 Street while responding to a 911 call at about 6:40 p.m.

The cause of death has not been released, but RCMP Sgt. Peter Thiessen said in a statement “initial evidence indicates that the male was the victim of a homicide.”

The man’s name has not been released.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) is investigating. Anyone with information is asked to call IHIT at 1-877-551-4448.

Apartment fireA two-alarm fire

at a North Surrey apartment building forced 13 families out of their homes early Saturday morning.

Five people had to be rescued by firefighters from balconies on the

third floor.The blaze began

around 3 a.m. in the north stairwell of the building at 108 Avenue and 150 Street.

Firefighters arrived to find the third floor hallway dense with smoke and some residents trapped in their units.

Three people went to hospital with minor

smoke inhalation, while a fourth was treated for cuts.

The building sustained heavy smoke damage on all three floors.

The cause of the fire was not immediately determined nor was it clear how quickly residents could return.

Fugitive arrestedA man wanted in

Alberta on charges of armed robbery, possession of a

dangerous weapon and wearing a disguise during commission of an offence was arrested at the Pacific Highway border last month.

Canada Border Services Agency officials said border guards examining a passenger on a northbound bus May 27 identified the fugitive after becoming suspicious of a traveller’s behaviour and inconsistent responses.

Matthew Daniel Liburdi, 20, was arrested and turned over to the Surrey RCMP in connection with the Alberta charges.

Kevin DiakiwBlack Press

A 15-year-old stabbed Surrey’s Sam McGowan in the chest after McGowan and others gave chase because the youth had stolen a cellphone and sweater, Crown prosecutors told a jury in New Westminster Supreme Court Monday.

The accused is being tried for second-degree murder in the death of McGowan and cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Wearing a pressed white dress shirt and slacks, he looked straight ahead during the opening day of his trial.

Crown counsel Jodie Harris told the jury the youth and his friend committed two robberies at knifepoint on the afternoon of Aug. 5, 2009. After each of the thefts, which were from young teens, grown-ups gave chase.

Harris alleged the accused eluded the first group, but a second group of 10 to 15 adults succeeded in catching up to the young robbers. McGowan, then 42, found the accused hiding under a porch.

According to defence lawyer David Tarnow, like the rest of the adults, McGowan had

been yelling “You’re f___ing dead.”

The teen, Tarnow said, had no choice but to defend himself.

“Ultimately, he did what he did in order to survive,” he told the jury. “The streets of Surrey can be very tough.”

Tarnow said his client and friend went to Central City Shopping Centre to buy some clothes. And then, he said, they made some bad choices.

Tarnow argued the accused is a good kid who happened to

be out with the wrong friend.

“He was hanging with a guy with a very lengthy Young Offenders’ record,” Tarnow said.

Those so-called bad choices, the Crown said, included two separate robberies, the second of which was from the victim’s son. When McGowan’s son reported it to his dad, McGowan and several others gave pursuit, some on bicycles and others in a car.

When McGowan caught up to the young man, Tarnow said, the teen had a very short time to react.

“Mr. McGowan was an imposing man,” Tarnow said, referring to his size and tattoos on his upper

body.Crown focused on

putting Tarnow’s client at the scene and said it will call on several witnesses, pictures,

exhibits, DNA evidence and video to build its case.

The case is expected to continue for a couple of weeks.

Michelle Proulx, McGowan’s girlfriend, said his death is only getting more difficult as time passes.

“Everybody tells you

it gets better with time,” Proulx said. “It’s not true – you adjust.”

She said it was 22 months ago Sunday that McGowan was killed.

“It’s been a long wait. I can’t eat, I can’t sleep,” she said, adding even when she does manage to get rest, she has nightmares.

That’s the theme of a public discus-sion to be hosted by the White Rock South Surrey Community Founda-tion and the Vancouver Foundation, Monday, June 20 at White Rock Pub-lic Library, 15342 Buena Vista Ave.

The event takes place from 6 to 8:30 p.m., with registration at 5:30 p.m.

It’s being billed as a chance to con-nect with other Peninsula residents and organizations to contribute to a conversation on such issues as afford-ability and community engagement.

Springboard for the discussion will be the Vancouver Foundation’s Vital Signs report, released in October of last year, which found that a strong sense of belonging and trust between

neighbours helps to create stronger, healthier communities.

Suggested topics for the discussion include the resources and services that help make living more affordable on the Peninsula; how neighbours share resources, and how the com-munity welcomes newcomers.

The forum will also examine the opportunities for volunteerism, reducing the gap between rich and poor, and the opportunities for the community to share food and meals.

Multiculturalism and diversity will also be examined, as well as the potential for interaction and sharing among neighbours.

perspectives…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Hannah SutherlandStaff Reporter

Recognizing that finances can be a confusing – if not intimidating – subject

for some, a number of female professionals have joined forces to empower local women with financial knowledge.

The South Surrey/White Rock Financial Divas not only help publish a free quarterly magazine on money matters – a collaboration with other Financial Diva chapters – but also hold monthly seminars in the community to educate women about everything from estate planning to home selling and purchasing.

The local chapter of the non-profit organization is run by a group of sponsors representing various financial fields, including real estate, accounting, home staging, and debt and bankruptcy services.

Jen Estrada, who brings expertise from her work as a mortgage broker, said women of all ages and backgrounds are invited to the free seminars, held every third Thursday (except July and August) at Semiahmoo Library.

“It’s an open forum for women to ask questions in a non-threatening environment,” Estrada said.

The concept began when businesswoman Kelly Landry started a two-page financial newsletter for women on Vancouver Island.

It eventually became a magazine and led to the formation of coffee clubs, where women could discuss and learn about markets, business and other money issues.

Financial advisor Kirstin Carley expanded the movement to the Lower Mainland about two years ago, when she was searching for a way to reach out to women.

“I was looking for something more broadly based to educate women in the community.”

The mainland chapter was formed, issuing its first magazine

issue last year and organizing its own coffee clubs.

“As the groups grew, we branched out,” Carley said.

Financial Divas now has branches in communities throughout B.C. –

including Langley/Cloverdale, South Delta, Richmond and Vancouver – as well as in parts of Alberta, and is currently awaiting

the launch of its new, interactive website.

Sponsors on each team write articles for the organization’s magazine, and their annual fee is used towards its publication and distribution to grocery stores, libraries, coffee shops and businesses.

And not all sponsors are in financial professions.

There are therapists, life coaches and, in one chapter, a chocolate-shop owner.

Anyone is welcome who adds value to the Divas’ readership and shares the desire to help others, Carley said.

“The primary reason someone

would want to get involved is to give back to the community without wanting anything in return.”

Which is why sponsors are not permitted to solicit attendees, Estrada said.

“It not our goal to get them as a client.”

Those attending the workshops have various degrees of financial knowledge, and it is not uncommon to see women who are forced to handle their own finances for the first time after losing a loved one or going through a divorce, Estrada noted.

Each workshop is presented in laymen’s terms to make topics

easy to understand, allowing those attending to make well-informed financial decisions, she added.

“It’s good for them to know what’s going on.”

Up to 20 people are invited to sit in, Estrada said, but the groups have had as few as just three to four people.

“It’s meant to be a small, intimate meet up.”

Carley has seen firsthand how much of an impact such sessions can have.

One of her clients, a single mother, had been going through a divorce and career issues upon attending Financial Divas meetings.

“She had never had a handle on her finances – she did not care for finance,” Carley said. “Once (her husband) was gone, she was left with not knowing where to start and what to do.”

That woman is now in a new career and financially stable, and – in a recent meeting with Carley – became teary eyed when reflecting on the accomplishments.

“Now she’s holding herself much higher and (is) excited about the changes instead of being fearful,” she said. “It makes me feel really good.”

The more knowledge people have, the more confident they become, Carley said, which is why it’s never too late to learn.

“I think people procrastinate about things they don’t understand, and that can create fear. If you let something grow into a bigger problem, it gets harder to solve.”

Local women wanting to learn more about finances can start with the South Surrey/White Rock Financial Diva’s next workshop June 16 at 7 p.m., called It’s Not Rocket Science.

“It’s an investment class for women who don’t like investment classes,” Carley said.

Those visiting White Rock Library last Friday were treated to some goodies – including cookies, coffee and trays of fruit – as part of the branch’s Customer Appreciation Day.

A table of refreshments, as well as a special prize draw, welcomed all who stepped into the 15342 Buena Vista building June 3.

“It’s just to show our patrons how much we appreciate them,” library supervisor Lucinda Lyall said, noting the branch has around 4,500 members. “They make it a pleasure to work here.”

Fred Koop said he has been coming to the library for 30 years, and enjoys the staff ’s positive attitude.

“Most libraries are friendly, but this one is par-ticularly helpful,” the White Rock resident said.

Charles Marxer agreed.“This is the best library in the whole world,” said

Marxer, who moderates SFU Philosopher’s Café, held once a month at the library.

The event also kicked off White Rock Library’s summer offerings, including its children, teen and adult summer reading clubs, in which bookworms can record their reading time and enter to win prizes.

HST will be reduced from 12% to 10%.After listening to British Columbians, the government has proposed an HST reduction from 12% to 11% by 2012, then to 10% by 2014. This proposed change will take effect if the province votes to keep the HST in the referendum. If B.C. votes to return to the GST + PST system, the combined rate will remain at 12%.

Transition cheques for families & seniors.Under the proposed change to a 10% HST rate, the average B.C. family will be $120 better off annually than under the old 12% GST + PST system. And to help transition to the lower rate, the government will provide $175 for every child under 18 and every senior with income under $40,000.

Ruth Stewart Special to Peace Arch News

The African fable of the weaverbird and the grasshopper illustrated

sustainability to 90 guests at the recent ACCES luncheon at Surrey’s Eaglequest Coyote Creek.

The moral, explained Dale Albertson, is if you are reliant on the generosity of someone for too long, that charity might eventually disappear.

In the audience of adults and youth were students from three Surrey schools linked to rural Kenyan classrooms: Cedar Hills, Crescent Park Elementary and Semiahmoo Secondary.

Albertson, executive director of the African Canadian Continuing Education Society, returned from Kakamega, Kenya in late April. He reported that the impoverished villagers are working on community projects to break the former grasshopper cycle of depression and dependency. The goal is to have Kenyans themselves sustain their advances to overcome poverty through community education for children and adults.

In 1993, Beth and George Scott, founders of ACCES, contracted with just one village that if they built a school for themselves,

ACCES would pay the teachers’ salary. Today, 1,500 students are being educated in nine sponsored schools.

Students have progressed from elementary to secondary levels, often registering high levels of achievement. Another 300 youth receive post-secondary scholarships. Health care, morning food programs, micro-credit agro-business, and income generation projects are now in place.

Weaverbirds like students Sinon and Lauren spoke of how Crescent

Park Elementary has raised in excess of $2,000 for their school, Elufafwa.

Students at Elufafwa “would happily walk to their school even if it means a five-kilometre

walk in bare feet, on an empty stomach,” Sinon said.

Lauren recognized that children were all the same.

“I also learned that’s it’s easier for some of us than it is for others,” Lauren said.

What signs are there that the Kenyan themselves can sustain this impetus? Three of the straw-roofed, open-walled schools are now built of concrete blocks. Four more are about to be constructed with support from the Canadian International Development Agency.

The government of Kenya will take over the administration of the new schools, releasing funding for more needy ones. All employees in Kenya are Kenyan.

In November 2010, the Scotts met in Nairobi with ACCES scholarship recipients. These young professionals pledged to fund other children in need.

All these are indicators that, at the grass roots level, sustainability is developing in Kakamega.

Unionized postal workers began rotating strikes after a midnight Thursday deadline passed without a negotiated agreement in their labour dispute with Canada Post.

Winnipeg was the first city selected for a 24-hour walkout, followed by Hamilton for 48 hours.

Mail and parcel deliveries may be delayed as a result of the strike, but federal pension and benefit cheques should still be delivered.

Elections BC has posted a list of locations on its website (www.elections.bc.ca) where voters can drop off HST referendum ballots if they’re concerned about mail deliveries.

The ballots are supposed to be mailed out to households starting June 13 in most of rural B.C. and starting June 20 in the Lower Mainland. They must be received by Elections BC by July 22.

“We will continue to strike,” Canadian Union of Postal Workers chief negotiator Denis

Lemelin said. “We will (also) continue to negotiate with Canada Post.”

The union had asked for wage hikes of 3.3 per cent in the first year and 2.75 per cent in each of

the next three years.Canada Post offered a four-

year contract lifting pay 1.9 per cent in each of the first three years and 2.0 per cent in the fourth.

ANNOUNCEMENT: MATTRESS RECYCLING

Mattress Collection Challenges

On January 1, 2011, Metro Vancouver placed a disposal ban on mattresses as they are operationally difficult to handle and recyclable when properly disassembled. Mattresses disposed of as garbage cannot be compacted – consuming a large amount of landfill space. In addition, the springs within mattresses often become tangled in equipment causing costly repairs. Customers that bring mattresses to regional transfer stations for disposal as garbage are charged $20/unit and are limited to only four (4) mattresses per load.

Surrey’s Response. . .Recycle It!

While Surrey had consequently stopped collecting mattresses via the Large Item Pickup Program as a result of the Metro Vancouver imposed disposal ban, the City has developed a process to recycle old unwanted mattresses.

The City of Surrey will accept mattresses and box springs via the Large Item Pickup Program at no additional cost to residents. The collected mattresses will be delivered to a mattress recycling facility where they will be segregated into different materials and shipped to remanufacturing facilities to be processed into new reusable products.

We are pleased to announce that Surrey is now collecting mattresses for recycling.

For further information please visit www.surrey.ca or contact the Garbage & Recycling hotline at 604-590-7289.

How to Arrange Collection1. Call Emterra Environmental at 604-635-54782. On the day of your appointment (or the evening before), place your mattress/boxspring at your curb.

Ensure that your mattress is at the curb by 7:30am.* Please note that this program is available to households that are on the City’s door-to-door waste collection program.

Mattresses or box springs will count towards your annual large item pickup limit of 4 items/calendar year.


THE TOUR DE WHITE ROCK PRESENTS:

FROM AN EXPERTPicture it: you’re billeting elite athletes

cycling in the Tour, they ask for a snack and when you open your cupboards all that

you can offer are processed foods that they politely decline.

Whether you are cleaning house for guests or for you and your family, consider the following foods to

keep stocked for optimal fi tness and overall health. If you read the last food edition, you’ll know this is not

going to be a list of bars, supplements and sports drinks, but instead unprocessed ingredients with which to make

easy meals and snacks for working out.To perfect your protein, fi ll your fridge with a variety of

nuts, seeds and nut butters (keeping them cool prevents oxidation and rancidity). Add in a selection of low-fat dairy and alternatives, like soy or cow’s milk, plain yogurt and cottage cheese, which contains a whopping 15 grams of protein in half a cup. Include other lean choices, like free-range eggs, tofu, hummus, fi sh and poultry. Eating protein at all meals and snacks is key to keeping blood sugars stable, but is especially important to include right after a workout to maintain muscle.Your cupboard is where you can clean up your carbohydrates.

Toss out the chips, cookies, low-fi bre cereal and crackers. Instead, fi ll glass jars with whole grains like oats, barley, brown rice, quinoa, wholegrain pasta and millet. Choose sprouted grain breads for your toast and sandwich needs due to their high fi bre and protein content. Carbohydrates are the major energy source in a diet and provide the fuel needed to perform. Choosing less-refi ned carbohydrates sustains energy levels for longer, more taxing workouts. Don’t forget to clean out that sticky cupboard fi lled with oils. Opt for cold-pressed olive, coconut and canola oils and choose olive oil for 80% of the time. Add small portions of a healthy fat at each meal to also balance blood sugars and provide the body with the fat it needs for cell membrane conduction and skin, immune, blood vessel and brain health. To help keep infl ammation at bay, have a healthy dose of omega-3 fats from fatty fi sh or a fi sh oil or algae supplement.And last, but defi nitely not least: fresh fruits and vegetables. Fill a beautiful bowl on your counter with a bounty of fresh produce—apples, pears and berries are great low glycemic, local fruit choices. Bananas and oranges are fi lled with potassium and perfect for post-workout electrolyte replacement. Top it off with tomatoes, avocados, yams and a fridge full of leafy greens, carrots, cabbage, broccoli and other antioxidant-rich veggies needed to heal the body.Now when the cyclists request a snack, what can you pull out? Yogurt and berries, hummus and veggies, a banana and nut butter sandwich—the possibilities are endless when you have a healthy pantry full of real foods.For more great ideas on Food for Fitness, join Nicole and the Choices Chef, Antonio Cerullo, for a cooking class on June 20th at the Choices Markets South Surrey location.

the scene…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

The Cat’s MeowThe Cat’s Meow, by Steven Peros, which

receives its Canadian premiere tonight (June 8) at the Coast Capital Playhouse, is a White Rock Players production directed by Shelagh Shermann.

Based on a real-life Hollywood scandal, the show offers a fascinating cross section of silent movie era characters whose lives intersect during one notorious weekend on board newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst’s yacht in 1924 – including Hearst’s mistress, movie actress Marion Davies, and Charlie Chaplin.

The Jazz Age tale features Paul Kloegman (Hearst), Marissa Whiteway (Davies), Michael Jenkins (Chaplin), Jane Mantle (as newspaper columnist Louella Parsons), Deborah Spitz (as novelist Elinor Glyn) and Jason Dedrick (as pioneering movie producer and director Thomas H. Ince).

The show continues with Wednesday to Saturday performances at 8 p.m. until June 25 (there will also be a Sunday matinee June 19, 2:30 p.m.).

For tickets, visit www.whiterockplayers.ca or call 604-536-7535.

Coffee With Attitude), 10-15208 Pacific Ave. (at Five Corners at the foot of Johnston Road) has recently become a venue for local visual artists.

Currently on display is photography and acrylic paintings by Robynn Alexandria Nord. The self-taught artist has been painting in oil and acrylics for the last five years, but has lately become interested in photography as a mode of expression.

Coming up at the venue is Femme Fusion (June 13-July 18) a mother-daughter show by painter-photographer multi-media artist Katherine Siemens (whose work was previously featured in Exotique at White Rock Museum and Archives) and painter-photographer Savannah Hatch.

A re-examination of female archetypes from different cultures, the show will feature acrylics, watercolours, mixed-media pieces and photography.

Opening reception will be June 17 at 7 p.m. with artists in attendance.

How to help kids fi nd the right activityToday’s kids are busier than ever

before. Be it the increasingly com-petitive nature of scholastic life or the increase of two-income house-holds where kids need something to do other than come directly home after school, children today are much busier than their school-aged coun-terparts of yesteryear.

While it can be fun and benefi cial for kids to participate in extracur-ricular activities, fi nding the right fi t isn’t as easy as it sounds. When helping kids fi nd an extracurricular activity, it’s best to consider a host of factors. Especially keep in mind that not all kids are the same with respect to interests. And what was enjoyed by their parents won’t necessarily be enjoyed by them.

Getting StartedThe best place to start is to speak

to kids about their interests. Just because Dad loved playing football doesn’t mean Junior is destined to be a gridiron great. Kids have their own interests, and those interests can be cultivated with the right extracurricu-lar activity. For example, a creative child might enjoy an after-school art class a couple of times per week. Parents should also consider extra-curriculars that can help kids grow as people. For instance, a child who’s shy in public but loves hamming it up at home might embrace an after-school theater program.

Once options have been discussed

with kids, take in a session or two be-fore committing to anything. The shy youngster might visit the local the-ater program and enjoy it thoroughly, or he or she might decide against it. Either way, a visit will give kids and parents a sense of what the program is like and whether or not it’s the right fi t. When visiting, observe the nature of the program. Is it an en-couraging, vibrant environment? Do the adults and kids involved appear to be having fun?

Get the 411Parents want their kids to be as

safe after school as they are during it. When looking for an extracur-ricular activity, inquire about the staff-to-child ratio and about the staff’s professional background. Any staff-to-child ratio that is greater than 12:1 likely indicates a program that is understaffed, which could mean kids won’t get the attention they need. Also, ask for the staff’s references and work history in the fi eld of child care. If certifi cation is necessary or recommended, make sure the staff meets all requirements.

Parents should also inquire about program costs. Though many pro-grams are upfront about fees, some have hidden fees that can add up. Such fees can be for uniforms, equip-ment, class trips, etc. Extra fees don’t have to exclude a program from consideration, but it’s better to know about them in advance than have

them come as a surprise.Consider a Child’s Grade Level

A child’s age and grade level should also be considered when choosing an extracurricular activity. Consult teach-ers about fi nding an age-appropriate extracurricular activity. For example, less competitive activities that empha-size fun might be more appropriate for kids in kindergarten and the fi rst grade. For second graders, activities not offered at school, like learning to play an instrument, can help cultivate a child’s interest in a noncompetitive environment. As kids reach third grade and beyond, consider more rules-based activities, including team sports, as kids at that age are more capable of understanding rules and handling los-ing than younger kids. As children get older and move on to middle school, look for activities that reinforce learn-ing and help develop a young person’s character, including their ability to interact with others.

When looking for an extracurricular activity for kids, parents should con-sider a host of factors, including the child’s interests and age.

Extracurriculars can help kids grow

Semiahmoo’s Jack Williams did just as his coach predicted he would Friday at B.C. High School Track and Field

Championships, and that was win the boys 3,000-m race.

But he did his coach, Maureen de St. Croix, one better the following day, when he was the only South Surrey runner to find the podium in the star-studded 1,500-m race; he finished in second in a time of 3:53.08, just three seconds back of Fleetwood Park’s Keffri Neal.

“I’m really happy, it went really well,” said Williams.

In the 3,000, Williams said the pace was fast but manageable in the early stages, and he made his move to the lead pack at the same time as second-place finisher, St. Andrew’s Cody Therrien.

“About 800 in, Cody moved up and I had to go with him, and then he started to slow down a bit near the end, and I was able to

pass him.”The 1,500-m, however,

was an entirely different affair – with much more back and forth than the longer three-km race.

After the grueling 3,000-m and 1,500 heats on Friday, Williams said he was nearly gassed for Saturday’s 1,500 finals, and on the last lap, actually considered dropping out of the race.

“I didn’t know what the other guys had planned, but I just knew that I had really sore legs,” he said.

On the final lap, Williams was in second place, six or seven metres behind Neal, when White Rock Christian’s Sean

Keane – ranked second in Canada in the 1,500 and the defending B.C. high school champ – and Therrien caught and passed him.

“I didn’t know how long I was going to be able to keep up with Keffri, and when Sean and Cody passed me, I thought about maybe quitting, but then I saw my parents on the back stretch, and they were cheering for me, and I knew I had to keep going,” Williams said.

He passed Keane, who finished fourth, and Therrien, who won bronze, with 200 metres to go.

“I just left it all out there on the track,” Williams said.

Though Keane finished off the podium in the 1,500, he did pick up silver in the 800-m, finishing behind Neal, whose double-gold performance earned him the meet’s Most Inspirational Athlete Award.

Deon Clifford, from Earl Marriott, was fourth in the 3,000-m and sixth in the 1,500, giving Surrey schools four of the six top finishes in the latter event. All six runners had times under four minutes in the 1,500, which made it one of the fastest races in recent memory.

“That had to have been the fastest 1,500 in, well, maybe forever,” said Elgin Park’s Jake Bruchet, who didn’t run the 1,500 but won silver in the senior boys 2,000-m

steeplechase and was ninth in the 3,000. “The guys were just great, so fast.”

For his part, Bruchet – one of the top contenders in the 3,000-m heading into the race – said he was disappointed with his silver-medal steeple performance.

“It just did not go very well at all, to be honest,” said Bruchet, whose time of 6:10.37 was four seconds back of Oak Bay’s Patrick Psotka.

“It’s not so much the (colour of) medal, but it’s the time – I know I’m better than that, and can go at least 10 seconds faster.”

Bruchet said his busy schedule – Elgin grads had commencement ceremonies Thursday night, and prom Saturday evening – didn’t help keep his legs in peak shape.

“On Thursday, we were sitting for four hours and standing for two hours before that, so it didn’t help a whole lot,” he said.

Earl Marriott’s Katie Reid – who’ll run next year at UCLA – ended her high-school running career on a high note, with gold medals in both the 200- and 400-m races.

Her two wins helped propel EMS to a fourth-place overall team finish,

and fourth-best mark in the girls team scores. Victoria’s Oak Bay won the overall meet title.

In field events, the Peninsula contingent was led by a pair of Elgin Park throwers. Ryan Sommer won a pair of medals – silver in the discus and bronze in shotput. Sommer was up against some pretty stiff competition at the Swangard Stadium meet – Lambrick Park (Victoria) thrower Adam Keenan won gold in shotput, hammer throw and discus, setting a B.C. record in the latter.

His EPS teammate, Christina Juert, won bronze in discus and hammer throw.

Other South Surrey medallists included Semiahmoo’s Vanessa Sjoberg, who was third in the 400-m; Semi’s Alison Williams, second in the 800-m; Earl Marriott’s Kathryn Van Ryswyk, who won silver in the pole vault; Lord Tweedsmuir’s Hayley Stewart, bronze-medallist in the long jump;

Finishing just off the podium was WRCA’s Brittney Hearn, who was fourth in heptathlon, and WRCA’s Jordon Watson, fourth in high jump.

On the relay circuit, Earl Marriott’s boys ‘A’ team – Deon Clifford, Chase Lawler, Nick Mateo, and Stuart McDonald – was fifth in the 4x400-m, and Semiahmoo’s girls team – Anestasja Koch, Emma Scott, Sjoberg and Williams – were fifth in both the 4x100 and 4x400 events.

Surrey pastor John Burns is at it again.

A year after he golfed 100 holes in a single day at Peace Portal Golf Course, the 58-year-old is doing it again, as a way to raise money for Mercy Ministries Canada.

Burns and golf pro Jodi Reimer achieved the feat last summer, completing 100 holes – on foot – in 11-and-a-half hours. The pair walked the equivalent of 30 miles.

They’ll attempt to do it again next Monday, June 11.

Mercy Ministries is a residential counselling

program that aims to help women in need. While they have space for as many as 20

women at a time, Burns said funding allows for just 12.

“I will do whatever it takes to see that change… including putting myself through this crazy golf-a-thon,” said Burns, pastor at Relate Church in Surrey.

So far, Burns has collected more than $50,000 in

sponsorships for this year’s event. For more, visit www.relatechurch.ca or www.mercyministries.ca

After two years trying, the Semiahmoo Totems finally vanquished an old foe earlier this month, en route to a fourth-place finish at badminton provincials in Kamloops.

The Totems, who for the last two years had been beaten in provincial play by South Kamloops, got the better of their rivals – who were the top seed – this time around, beating them 7-4 in quarter-finals.

“It’s almost like sweet revenge, as corny as that may sound,” said Semiahmoo teacher Mike Hovan, who coached the team with Jens Berg.

Where the Totems gained an edge against South Kamloops was in the boys pairs event – which the host squad had dominated in previous matches.

This time, however, Semi’s Kevin Lu and Jeffrey Liang won – a victory Hovan called “the real turning point.”

“The boys just left it all out on the court. They gave it their all – it was amazing.”

Semiahmoo – seeded 11th when the tournament began – went on to lose in semifinals to St. George’s/Crofton House, and then dropped a close series with Richmond in the bronze-medal affair; they lost 7-4 but six of the 11 games went to a third set.

The toughest game, Hovan said, was against the St. George’s/Crofton House conglomerate – combined for the purposes of mixed games, as St. George’s is an all-boys school.

“Our guys just couldn’t manage to get much on their boys, and Crofton’s girls are basically Canada’s junior national team, so that was awfully tough, too,” he said.

“The kids were a little disheartened as you might expect, but to come into it 11th and come out in fourth is

pretty amazing, and I think after a few days, they’ll realize it, too.”

In earlier round-robin action, Semi defeated Vancouver’s Prince of Wales Secondary, Kelowna and J.N. Burnett of Richmond.

In addition to the pairing in Lu and Liang, Hovan was also quick to heap praise on Grade 10 Chelsea Yang, who lost only two singles matches all tournament, and senior Stephanie Chen, whom Hovan called “the heart and soul of the team.”

It was Semiahmoo’s fourth straight trip to provincials.

The Earl Marriott Mariners finished fourth at B.C. High School Senior Boys Rugby Championships last week, ending the tournament with back-to-back losses against two of the province’s top teams.

After a quarter-final win over Van-couver St. George’s Wednesday after-noon, the Mariners were faced with the daunting task of taking on No. 1-seeded Shawnigan Lake Thursday – whom EMS coach Adam Roberts said “are like men out there.”

Shawnigan beat Marriott 47-6 at Abbotsford Rotary Stadium to

advance to the finals – which they also won handily, 43-0 over Victoria’s Oak Bay.

In the bronze-medal match, Earl Marriott lost 22-19 North Vancou-ver’s Carson Graham.

Earl Marriott, seeded No. 5 heading into provincials. began the tourna-ment with a road win May 28 over the South Kamloops Titans.

The Semiahmoo Totems, who lost their first-round game against St. George’s earlier this month, finished 14th out of 16 teams; they lost the 13/14 placing game Saturday, 55-10 to the Argyle Pipers of North Van-couver.
