Tuesday, Aug. 17 A routine test of water is taken from the Moffat Lane sampling station.
The discovery of E. coli in White Rock’s drinking water late last week has left residents and businesses high and dry – and some wondering why more wasn’t done to advise the community of the problem. However, others – including Mayor Catherine Ferguson and spokespeople for Fraser Health and water-supplier Epcor – say there isn’t much more anybody could have done. A boil-water advisory for the city was issued late Friday, after routine testing earlier in the week identified low levels of the bacteria at Epcor’s Moffat Lane and Finlay sampling station. A second positive test result prompted the advisory, “even though we had nothing else to raise the alarm bells,” said Dr. Elizabeth Brodkin, medical health officer for Fraser Health. “We cannot afford to take chances with people’s health, and drinking water is such a fundamental aspect of people’s health.” Brodkin said a lack of reported illnesses in combination with Epcor’s track record of compliance, safety and low hazard ratings all factored into timing of the initial advisory. “But you cannot ignore even a low level of this particular bacteria,” she said. “When it’s there, at any level, it suggests there’s been fecal contamination of the water. see page A3

E. coli reading to trigger water-treatment talk Alex Browne Staff Reporter
White Rock’s water supply is more thoroughly compromised than first suspected – and the boil-water advisory remains in effect “until further notice,” Epcor spokesperson David Rector confirmed Tuesday. Three tests showing no trace of E. coli – each taken 24 hours apart – have to come back from the lab in order to lift the advisory, Rector and Fraser Health officials said. And that means all those within the affected area will have to continue boiling their water until at least the weekend. Officials had anticipated lifting the advisory as early as Monday. However, a positive

was “incredibly disheartening,” Rector said it also pointed to the real problem, after subsequent testing around the Moffat Lane sampling station showed no further traces of it. “Now we have a direction to travel in.” The contamination has raised the question of whether White Rock’s well-based water may need treatment before being delivered to the tap. “It’s a discussion that will have to be held,” Rector said, noting Epcor plans to sit down with Fraser Health, the city and all other “stakeholders and interested parties” to examine “what happened, what we did and what we can do better.”

Sister saved at beach Prompt action by a sister was credited with averting a tragedy when a young girl suffered a seizure in the water at White Rock beach Tuesday afternoon. The nine-year-old girl and her 13-yearold sister were wading in about 1½ feet of water just west of the foot of Oxford Street at around 1:10 p.m. when the younger sister had an epileptic seizure. Observers called 911 and a supervisor from the B.C. Ambulance Service – who
happened to be a block away – was the first on the scene. By that time, the older sister had carried the girl from the water. After observation, the girl was allowed to sleep and was not taken to hospital. The two girls, from New Westminster, were visiting the beach with family friends. The supervisor, who did not give his name, credited the older girl with saving her sister. “I can definitely say she’s her guardian angel – without a doubt,” he said.

Unlike Walkerton, no illnesses reported Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Canada’s worst-ever E. coli contamination took place in Walkerton, Ont. a decade ago, after torrential rains washed bacteria from cattle manure into the town well. In that case, it was several days after the contamination was detected, and not until a trend of illnesses was noticed by doctors, before the public was alerted to the problem and a boilwater advisory issued. The advisory remained in effect for about six months.
Seven people – including a two-year-old girl – died and thousands of others fell ill from drinking the contaminated water. An inquiry into the Walkerton tragedy pointed blame at the water commission’s lack of monitoring chlorine levels in the water and, as well, at deregulation of water testing by the Ontario government. Fraser Health’s Dr. Elizabeth Brodkin said this week White Rock’s experience is “quite different” from what happened in Walkerton.
“We had a much more reassuring situation,” she said, citing Epcor’s track record of low hazard ratings, safety and response, as well as the fact there were no reported illnesses. “Positive lab results, but everything else about the picture was reassuring,” she said. “The legacy of Walkerton has made us that much more vigilant when it comes to the safety of our drinking water.” A November 2001 study found the crisis cost each of Walkerton’s 5,000 households an
average of $4,000, and that it cost more than $9 million to fix the water system. Epcor’s David Rector said Tuesday the financial cost of addressing the contamination in White Rock is the last thing on his mind right now. “I haven’t even begun to think about what the cost of this is. Really… cost and money is insignificant. It’s the trust in the community that we need to build back and that is the real cost.” – with files from Alex Browne

Unlike well-dependent White Rock, nearly all of South Surrey’s tap water comes from Metro Vancouver’s regional water system. Metro draws from three watersheds – the Capilano and Seymour reservoirs and glacierfed Coquitlam Lake. Most drinking water reaching Surrey and Langley comes from the Coquitlam source, while the two North Shore reservoirs primarily serve Vancouver, Richmond and Burnaby. According to Epcor’s website, White Rock’s water comes from the Sunnyside Uplands aquifer, and is provided through six wells which range in depth from 200 to 500 feet. It is distributed to residents and businesses in White Rock – and about 80 customers in Surrey – without further treatment. Water from the Coquitlam source is currently treated with ozone for primary disinfection – a process considered more effective against water-borne microorganisms and pathogens. It also reduces the amount of byproducts resulting from chlorine disinfection. Metro is preparing to add a new $110-million ultraviolet disinfection plant that would supplement ozone. Unlike ozone, ultraviolet disinfection kills cryptosporidium, another type of intestinal parasite. The change is in response to a 2005 change in Canadian Drinking Water Quality guidelines. Because the primary disinfectant breaks down quickly, Metro also uses chlorine in its secondary disinfection system to keep any bacteria in the network of pipes from reinfecting water as it travels to homes and businesses. Also added to the water from Coquitlam is soda ash (calcium carbonate) to reduce the corrosiveness of the water on plumbing. The only boil-water advisory issued in recent years by Metro Vancouver occurred in the winter of 2006 and was the result of increased turbidity in the Seymour and Capilano reservoirs, not from any detected levels of E. coli or other bacteria. That 2006 advisory was quickly withdrawn, and officials later decided it should never have been issued in the first place. - Jeff Nagel

NDP says patients suffering due to service reduction
Transfer delays criticized SUPERMARKET PRODUCE
Jeff Nagel Black Press
Christine Stirman suffers from painful blisters and sores all over her body that her family says have worsened since the province cut the number of transfer ambulances serving the Lower Mainland. The 60-year-old Surrey grandmother of two makes frequent trips to Surrey Memorial Hospital for treatment of both Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease) and a severe case of Hand, Foot and Mouth disease she contracted this summer. But she’s experienced long delays since July 1, when the provincial government removed 14 transfer ambulances from service on the expectation private contractors hired by health authorities could take over at a saving of $5.9 million. “Once they cut the transfer ambulance service, that’s when our nightmare began,” husband Wayne Mitchell said Monday. “It’s wrong. It’s dangerous. And it has affected my wife’s health.” He said it can take several hours

Christine Stirman frequently uses transfer ambulances. for her to get back to her Newton home from treatment at the hospital as a result of ambulance service delays, resulting in his wife sometimes returning home long after midnight. Before the change, Stirman never waited longer than 90 minutes for a transfer ambulance. NDP health critic Adrian Dix said the province should immediately reverse its decision to impose the 36 per cent cut to transfer ambulance service – a reduction equivalent to eliminating 30,000 transfers a year. “Patients all over the region are paying a high price for the cut to transfer services,” he said, calling any savings a false economy.
“It has led to long wait times, with some patients waiting until two or three in the morning before they get back to their hospital room or home.” Health Minister Kevin Falcon could not be reached for comment. “We did see some delays in July,” said Tim Philley, the Lower Mainland director of operations for the B.C. Ambulance Service (BCAS). He said service levels were reassessed in early August and four additional transfer ambulances were added to the Lower Mainland fleet. Some ambulances were repositioned to different bases this week to reduce delays, he added. The transport service set up by health authorities is for patients requiring no medical care on board, while patients needing constant care like Stirman need a BCAS transfer ambulance. Most transfers are pre-booked. Philley said most recent transfers for Stirman were on time or close to it, but added two longer delays happened when she was taken to SMH on an emergency basis.

Dinotown could be coming to South Surrey. The 35-year-old theme park at Bridal Falls in Chilliwack is set to close Sept. 6, but owner Rob Ell says the City of Surrey Economic Development office has approached him about relocating the cuddly dinosaurs, cartoon-like vehicles and games. “We have multiple locations that we’re looking at,” Ell said Monday. “Surrey is one of them.” He said he has also been approached by private developers in South Surrey, the Aldergrove Zoo, the City of Burnaby and the “largest Ostrich farm in China.” There were discussions with the PNE in Vancouver, but they didn’t pan out, Ell said. He said it will be “at least six months” before he makes a decision, In the meantime, all of the theme park property will be put in storage. Billed as “North America’s only cartoon dinosaur town,” Dinotown is located just off Highway 1 near Bridal Falls. Ell sold his dinosaur adventure land to Tri-R Development Group

Dinotown was originally launched as Bedrock City in 1975 by Ell’s dad, Bob. It was a theme park that featured buildings and characters from the HannaBarbera cartoon television series, The Flintstones. It was one of just four such parks in North America.
The elder Ell built stone pedal cars and flat-rock buildings and dino-cranes with tails to slide down, just like Fred Flintstone had. He built bumper cars and paddy wagons and pedal boats too. But in 1994, after HannaBarbera was sold to Warner Brothers, the owners of the Flinstones likenesses cancelled the contract. The revised Dinotown, which featured a family of hip dinosaurs, opened to the public in 1995. - files from the Chilliwack Progress

editorial
Packaging has become too much ike Kermit the Frog once said, it’s not easy being green. As landfills reach capacity, and Metro Vancouver debates the construction of a new waste-to-energy incinerator to deal with the trash generated by a growing population, residents are taking the initiative by adopting Zero Waste challenges, individually, by neighbourhood, by community. But one look at the recycling blue box tucked away in the hall closet reveals the challenge we face to reduce our waste. It’s always full. No sooner is the box emptied at the curb by automated trucks when it quickly starts to refill with bottles, boxes, boxes within boxes, jars, paper, plastic trays and containers of every size and shape. The sheer amount of packaging we deal with every day is staggering. According to the U.S.-based Dogwood Alliance, 25 per cent of the 2.4 million hectares of trees cut down every year in the southeastern United States ends up wrapping and boxing consumer goods. The computer age, which was supposed to diminish our need for paper, has only made things worse. The little plastic cartridges for inkjet printers, for instance, are notoriously over-packaged, contained in complicated boxes, attached to cardboard or plastic trays, wrapped in sticky plastic and accompanied by a series of instruction pamphlets and promotional paperwork. The problem is compounded if you happened to order that inkjet cartridge from an online retailer; chances are it was shipped in a cardboard box five or six times larger than the already voluminous box encasing the little plastic cartridge, and then further protected by crumpled paper, bubblewrap or styrofoam peanuts. It’s little wonder that blue box always seems full to overflowing, often a day or two after it was emptied, and always well before the next scheduled pickup. Responsible, environmentally-conscious consumers can only do so much to keep all these boxes, containers, trays and whatnot from filling landfills. It’s time for manufacturers and retailers to do their part and reduce the amount of packaging material they use. Most of it we can do without.

51 responding Contrary to the wishes of some HST haters, Chief Justice Robert Bauman of the B.C. Supreme Court did not endorse Vander Zalm’s petition, or determine whether any workable outcome can result from it. Bauman narrowed his ruling to get this political hot potato off his desk, and that of the much-maligned Chief Electoral Officer. He declined to consider whether Vander Zalm’s proposed legislation is constitutional, noting that it “may never be enacted in that initial form,” given that it could be amended or defeated in the legislature. Even if it passes more or less as is, the proposed legislation only calls for B.C. to withdraw from its five-year HST agreement with Ottawa. The federal legislation to collect the tax would remain. “Whether that will lead to… the extinguishment of the HST in British Columbia remains to be seen,” Bauman wrote. The petition was formally sent to the legislature on Monday and the standing committee must convene its first meeting in September. It will have until December to debate the draft legislation that was included in the petition. Look for the B.C. Liberal majority on the committee to push through amendments, such as raising taxes to repay the $1.6 billion federal fund. Then we might find out where the NDP actually stands on this thing.

Spend tax dollars wisely Editor: I just had a recent stay at Peace Arch Hospital emergency ward. First, I must say the staff were amazing. All were very compassionate and helpful. My problems were the conditions. My bed was placed in a main hallway where there was a constant stream of traffic – all the linen carts, kitchen carts, all patients being transferred to and from, X-rays, etc. The hall is narrow, which made it difficult for the nurses to take care of patients as all these carts went by. Since it was a hall, the overhead florescent lights had to be left on until 10 p.m. So under these circumstances, rest or sleep was not an option. With so much traffic going up and down the hall, the floor was filthy. Only once had I seen a cleaning lady take a dry dust mop up and down the hall to take the loose dirt, but it did not take all the spills and stains off the floor. I also believe this to be a fire hazard – if there was ever an emergency – with this hall blocked like this. With these conditions, patients are examined by their doctors in the hall. At least in the emergency ward there is a curtain pulled. Please let the government know these are our tax dollars not being spent wisely. We paid millions of dollars on the Winter Olympics.
If there were profits, where is that money going? Now we open an emergency ward for the immigrants coming to Canada. They will be processed and most likely will be allowed to stay and get welfare and free medical. Is it not about time we take care of our people first? P. Cook, Surrey
Water news must be shared Editor: While my mailbox, and even under my apartment’s doors, is inundated with gratuitous, commercial crap, it’s unbelievable that truly useful and perhaps even life-saving information – such as the contamination of White Rock drinking water – can, it seems, be kept at a minimum. I could not find anything on the matter on TV, and only News 1130 offered any occasional insight. I had already drunken a cup full of raw water by late Saturday morning before my mother received a warning from a condo neighbour. Although a single notice was posted at both my multi-unit residence and my mother’s complex, why not – especially in regards to health matters – give each apartment and condo unit its own fully-informative notice under the door? What’s quite worrisome is that if there’s a considerable deterioration
in the quality of our drinking water, will there have to be a repeat of the Walkerton, Ont. tragedy? Frank G. Sterle, Jr., White Rock
Staff bus pass hardly a benefit
Number’s up for bad owners
Editor: Re: TransLink under fire, Aug. 20. I would like to clear up a number of things referring to the transit employees bus pass. First of all, over the many years I was on the job, I never used my pass, as I was always in uniform. And, as driving a bus can take up a large part of your day, when you have a couple of days off, the last thing you want to do is use your bus pass to take a bus somewhere. Being behind the wheel of your car may seem like a treat. I have been retired for a few years and, yes, I have a bus pass, and my wife had one, too. I think in the almost four years we have been retired, the pass was used maybe three or four times. Revenue Canada decided the one my wife has is a taxable item, and they decided to tax us as if we used the pass twice a day, five times a week, using it as a three-zone pass. – in other words, about $200 a month charged to us as income. Many drivers hardly use the pass, or they might just use it as a one zone in the area they live. So, if the person who is raising such a stink thinks we are getting a fabulous deal, then they are dead wrong. We turned my wife’s pass in as soon as we could. Why pay taxes on something that isn’t happening? Brian Lauder, Surrey
Editor: Re: A matter of respect, July 21 letters. Illegal off-leash dogs and piles left behind are a big problem – so much so that I am almost ashamed to walk my dog. I say “almost” only because I make every effort to be a responsible owner. I own a leash and poop baggies and I use them! So what do we do about these disrespectful owners? There never seems to be any bylaw enforcers around when you need them. Well take heart, my fellow responsibles, there is something we can do. Just like when you see someone driving like a moron and you can take down the licence number and report them, most every dog has a licence, too. You don’t even have to be intrusive about getting it either, as most pooches will just run up to you, anyway. Just look on the back of the tag and engraved in the metal is a permanent number. This number, just like a car licence plate, leads right back to the registered owner. Take it down along with location and time of day, then make a call. Stacey Marton, Surrey

Presumed fees don’t add up Editor: Re: Tamil lessons to be learned, Aug. 18 letters. Jim Simpson wrote: “A recent media estimate of $50,000 per “refugee” to be an estimated… In reality, that would not cover a fraction of the forthcoming legal costs – also borne by we taxpayers – to parasitic members of the local legal profession to delay hearings and deportations ad nauseum.” The busloads of parasitic lawyers that are racing to represent legal-aid recipients – with nothing but taxpayer dollars on their alleged minds – are paid at a rate of $83.90 per billable hour and are

Benevolence at a price Editor: Re: Tamil lessons to be learned, Aug. 18 letters. Thank you for reminding us that not only do we not have any control on how much we are taxed but also on how our tax money is spent. We are a benevolent country and rightfully should help less fortunate countries in time on
need, but wouldn’t they be better served and be less costly for us to send aid to them rather than them appearing on our doorstep? Perhaps the slogan which has been circulating since the Olympics – “the best place in the world to live” – is being taken literally and people from remote countries are trying to find out if it’s true. All joking aside, I was reminded when I read the letters how costly it can be. Also, I was fired up about another letter that day (They can’t outsmart us). It proves the pen can be mighty, and I am so glad to see there are others who feel like I do about the HST. I find most people I talk to about it are rather apathetic as if, “well, they can’t change it, so why worry about it?” I hope more people will voice their opinion and that we can prevail. D.

32nd Anniversary Sale CONTINUES
New rapid transit link tops 100,000 riders a day two years early
Canada Line celebrates one year, strong ridership

One year after its opening and 36 million passengers later, the $2-billion Canada Line has proven to be a popular transportation option, carrying far more people than expected by this point. The rapid-transit link between Vancouver, Richmond and the airport now transports 107,000 riders on a typical weekday, and averages 100,000 daily trips even counting weekends. “We’ve hit that 100,000 rides per day about two years ahead of schedule,” said TransLink spokesman Ken Hardie last week.

news Legislative committee to determine next step
HST petition to proceed
WATCH FOR IT...
Tom Fletcher Black Press
The petition to get rid of the harmonized sales tax in B.C. should proceed to the legislature, the Chief Justice of the B.C. Supreme Court has ruled. Justice Robert Bauman ruled Friday that the petition should be forwarded to a legislature committee, despite arguments from a coalition of businesses that the province doesn’t have the authority to repeal a federal tax. Bauman quoted Premier Gordon Campbell’s description of the 700,000-name petition as a “victory for democracy” whose flaws can be dealt with by the legislature. It’s the first successful citizen initiative in the 20-year history of B.C.’s Recall and Initiative Act, gathering support of at least 10 per cent of registered voters in each of the province’s 85 constituencies. Former premier Bill Vander Zalm, who headed the petition drive, said the ruling clears the way for the B.C. Liberal government to act on the petition and they should do so this fall or he will start recall campaigns against B.C. Liberal MLAs on Nov. 15. “They can deal with it now, and we’ll be rid of the HST,” Vander Zalm said outside the court. “It’s a great day for B.C.” Bauman’s ruling noted that there are legal questions about the petition to remove the 12 per

Provincial law now requires the petition to be forwarded to a standing committee of the legislature, which has to meet within 30 days of receiving it. The committee has 90 days after that to decide whether to forward a bill to the legislature or refer it to a province-wide referendum. Finance Minister Colin Hansen refused to comment Friday on whether the government will wait until the spring session of
the legislature next February to deal with the petition. He said he doesn’t want to prejudge whether the committee will choose the referendum option, which would trigger a province-wide vote on the HST in September 2011. The standing committee has appointees from both parties, and the possible chair is KamloopsNorth Thompson MLA Terry Lake. The Liberal majority membership includes MLAs Eric Foster (Vernon-Monashee), Dave Hayer (Surrey-Tynehead), Richard Lee (Burnaby North), Pat Pimm (Peace River North), and John Slater (Boundary-Similkameen). NDP MLAs include Mike Farnworth (Port Coquitlam), Katrine Conroy (Kootenay West), Rob Fleming (Victoria-Swan Lake) and Jenny Kwan (VancouverMount Pleasant).

Not only will guests be treated to hair and makeup booths, cookie decorating, a cake walk, raffle, magic show and balloon creations by Korki the Clown, their participation will support a worthy cause. Merkal said inspiration for the party was sparked by the ❝It’s never too soon efforts of her son, to start teaching Evan Bird, and fellow White Rock little girls about firefighters, who higher purpose.❞ are gearing up for a 6,800-kilometre Myra Merkal cross-Canada bike relay that begins Sept. 8 in benefit of Variety the Children’s Charity.

Who chooses the successful grant applications? City Council has established a Grants Evaluation Committee, consisting of four city staff members, to review all applications and make recommendations on grant payment priorities. The final decision on all grant applications is made by City Council. The Grants Evaluation Committee will review and recommend grant payments based on the following criteria: • The need for the project, the number of residents benefiting from the grant and the value to the community; • The absence of identifiable or competing services, programs or facilities in the community; • The cost per resident, funding sources and financial stability of the organization; • The effectiveness and quality of the proposed program, project or event; • The history of the organization, including past services and programs; and • The suitability for one-time only funding for specific programs, capital projects or special events.

lifestyles Teen in foster care allowed to study music in U.S.
Ministry changes tune over young pianist Sheila Reynolds Black Press
Frankie Bones, a gifted musician who was initially denied the opportunity to travel to the U.S. to study piano, is now allowed to go. The Ministry of Children and Family Development emailed Black Press Friday afternoon saying that although it cannot comment on the specifics of the case, “we can confirm the ministry has now been able to approve a plan whereby the youth can attend school in Washington state.” As was reported in Peace Arch News earlier that day, the ministry had previously told the foster child’s caregiver of the previous 17 years that she did not have the authority to allow Bones to attend school in the U.S. A spokesman said Friday that the issue was never about holding the boy back, but ensuring, as any prudent parent would, that all the necessary supports and safeguards
were in place. A professor at Walla Walla University, after hearing the 18-yearold play last fall, had said he was interested in developing the teen’s talent while he finished his final year of high school at nearby Walla Walla Valley Academy. Money has been raised to cover tuition, and host families have offered to care for Bones. However, because he’s in foster care, the ministry is technically his legal guardian until he is 19. Ministry staff told Bones’ foster family he didn’t have permission to go this month and that it was reviewing all of Frankie’s options, including whether there were music schools he could attend in B.C. Frankie and his family were unavailable for comment. A Facebook page set up to support Frankie noted Friday the family had gone to Washington to attend the university’s orientation day.

Battle of the best beans
local flavours
T
hink your chili is the best on the block? This fall is your chance to put your trusted recipe to the ultimate test and prove you’re not just full of hot air. The Rotary Club of White Rock Kristyl Clark Millennium has been busy getting ready for its second annual chili cook-off, which club president Mary Clark says is going to be another red-hot event. The ultimate battle of the beans is part of the White Rock Summersault Street Fair, which runs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sept. 11,with cook-off booths set up throughout the downtown area. Clark said the club has eight confirmed teams signed up for the event, but they’re still hoping for a few more. Participating teams will have to prepare five gallons of chili the day before and serve it to judges and the public with hopes of winning one of three prizes. The People’s Choice Award goes to the team who receives the most votes from the public chili-tasters. The Best Judged Chili award will be selected by a panel of astute judges based on a variety of criterium. And finally, the Rotary Revel Award goes to the team with the most enthusiasm. If you prefer eating chili over cooking it, then come down to the good old-fashioned cook-off and purchase a $5 tasting kit, which includes a chili tasting card and a People’s Choice Award ballot. Proceeds from the event will go towards the number projects the Rotary Club of White Rock Millennium is involved with in the community.
In honour of this second annual chili cook-off, Clark is sharing a recipe for Corn Muffins – and an invitation for members of the community to come out for what’s sure to be a fiery fiesta. “If you like chili and want to try a variety of recipes and see the different, lighter side of a lot of different local businesses and non profit organizations, you don’t want to miss this event.” For more information about the cook-off or to register to compete call 604-538-2200.

Casino website relaunched Tom Fletcher Black Press
VICTORIA – More than a month after it was launched and then quickly taken offline to fix a major technical glitch, the B.C. Lottery Corporation’s online casino is back in business. B.C. Information and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham announced Thursday that an independent review of repairs to PlayNow.com had satisfied her that the private financial information of gamblers will be adequately protected. Repairs and security improvements to the site were inspected by accounting firm Deloitte and Touche Canada, which gave it the thumbs-up the day before. BCLC president Michael Graydon said Thursday that the 34-day shutdown cost the corporation an estimated $150,000 a day in lost revenue. PlayNow.com was running again by Friday morning, and Graydon said he expects the lost revenue to be made up as players regain confidence in the online casino.

Players must be B.C. residents aged 19 or older to register, and there were an estimated 135,000 registered players by July 16. The new PlayNow.com site boasts a running total to show players how long they have been playing and how much money they have risked. A malfunction allowed 134 of those accounts to be
compromised, so the account information could be seen and used by other players. According to Graydon, there were 12 customers whose accounts were accessed by other players.

opment Minister Rich Coleman attended the launch of PlayNow.com in July, calling it a secure alternative to unregulated casino sites that are growing in popularity. Despite the technical problems with the B.C. launch, the Ontario government has since announced that its provincial lottery corporation will follow suit by 2012. BCLC has promised that it will add peer-to-peer poker playing to the PlayNow.com options later this year. Texas hold ‘em poker has emerged as the most popular online game, taking a large market share of a B.C. gambling market traditionally dominated by bingo and lottery tickets. Critics have accused Coleman and BCLC of a huge expansion of government gambling that will target those most likely to be problem gamblers. Coleman, who cut gambling grants to all but youth and disabled sports and arts programs earlier this year, defended PlayNow.com as a regulated alternative to sites where B.C. residents gamble an estimated $100 million a year.

BOIL WATER ADVISORY (BWA) REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR WHITE ROCK & SOME SOUTH SURREY RESIDENTS August 24, 2010
EPCOR continues to work with Fraser Health Authority to determine the source of a lowlevel of E. coli bacteria found during routine water quality tests that prompted the issuing of a boil water advisory for all White Rock residents and 80 South Surrey residents on the EPCOR water system on Friday, August 20, 2010. The boil water advisory will remain in place pending results of further testing and consultation with Fraser Health Authority. It is important to note that there were no reports of illnesses related to water quality when the boil water notice was issued and no indications of any related illnesses since. Fraser Health continues to monitor this situation closely. Background A low level of E.coli bacteria was detected at a water sampling point on two successive sampling days. No further presence was detected during follow up testing conducted over the weekend however results received Monday afternoon confirmed the presence of E. coli in three sampling locations at and near the Merklin Reservoir. This resulted in focusing on the reservoir as the location of the source. The reservoir was immediately taken off line and measures are under way to drain, inspect, clean and disinfect it prior to further testing. What should I do? Residents are advised to boil their water for at least one minute at a full boil before drinking the water. Boiled water should be used for hand washing dishes, for washing vegetables or for anything else you eat or drink. Ice cubes should not be used unless they have been made with boiled water. Boiled water should also be used for brushing teeth and cleaning dentures. Your tap water remains safe for washing clothes and bathing. Updates and contact information People with health concerns should contact their doctor or call the B.C. HealthLink at 81-1, seven days a week, 24 hours a day. Residents with general questions are encouraged to visit the EPCOR website at www.epcor.ca/whiterock or call 604-536-6112. The recorded message at this number is updated regularly as new information becomes available. EPCOR will continue to keep you informed of developments as they unfold through its website, regular media updates, and EPCOR White Rock's information phone line 604536-6112.

That’s more forest burned than any year since 1998, including the 2003 season that saw 33,000 people evacuated in the Okanagan and Thompson regions and 238 homes damaged or destroyed. Some of the fires currently burning are twice as large as the 2003 Okanagan Mountain Park fire, and parts of the B.C. Interior have been so obscured by smoke that the size and number of fires can only be estimated. The smoke from B.C. fires has spread eastward as far as Manitoba, another indication of the swath of destruction that has swept across mainly remote areas of the province this summer. Despite the pall of smoke
that has hung over much of the province this summer, human carelessness continues. Two new human-caused fires were identified on the weekend, bringing the total fires for this season to more than 1,500. While most of the major fires have been in the Cariboo and Northwest regions, a fire was discovered on the weekend in the Stave Lake region of the Fraser Valley. Several fires continued to burn on Vancouver Island, with crews in action near Port Alice and Port Renfrew as well as Bella Coola and Powell River on the adjacent coast. Highway 20 between the Cariboo and Bella Coola was reopened to traffic Monday. Fire hazard conditions remained high or extreme across much of the province, with northern B.C. experiencing severe drought and some of the lowest river levels ever recorded.
Cooler conditions and a few sprinkles of rain on the weekend eased the severity of fires and allowed forest fire crews and aircraft to make progress containing them. Several fire evacuation orders in the Cariboo region were downgraded to alerts Monday, allowing residents of several small communities and aboriginal reserves to go home. Most remain on alert status, with medications and other essentials packed so they can leave quickly if conditions deteriorate. Last week there were concerns that more than 10,000 people in and around Williams Lake might need to be evacuated, as high east winds grounded firefighting aircraft and threatened to push forest fires across the Fraser River. All evacuation alerts for the east side of the river near Williams Lake and McLeese Lake were lifted Monday.
Lost farmland blamed on roads Jeff Nagel Black Press
Government road builders have paved over far more farmland than private developers in the Surrey-Delta-Langley area over the past decade, according to a new study. More than 70 per cent of the 264 hectares of land removed from farm use over the past 10 years were for provincial government transportation projects, concluded author Nathan Pachal, co-founder of the transit advocacy group, South Fraser On Trax. The South Fraser Perimeter Road, which is eating up 90 hectares in Surrey and Delta, is the single big-
gest reduction in farmland in the South of Fraser area over the past 10 years. Others include the expansion of Highways 10 and 15 in Surrey and the Deltaport expansion. Almost two-thirds of the farmland removals were in Delta. The statistics include formal exclusions of land from the Agricultural Land Reserve as well as other dedication of farmland. The South of Fraser area accounts for three quarters of all ALR land in Metro Vancouver, with the primary crops including vegetables, berries, greenhouse produce and ornamental plants.

Facelift for Hwy 99 Resurfacing of a stretch of Highway 99 in South Surrey is among 21 B.C. projects to benefit from $42 million in funding announced last week. The $3 million project, scheduled for completion by Oct. 1, addresses a section of highway stretching from the Highway 17 underpass to the Nicomekl River. The provincial government is
contributing $1.65 million of the funds; federal government is kicking in the balance. According to a news release, the $42 million is savings accumulated through competitive bidding on previously announced highway projects. The savings mean “better roads and more jobs,” Surrey-Panorama MLA Stephanie Cadieux said in a statement.

Many volunteers – from Scout leaders to youth soccer coaches – may be fingerprinted due to tightened federal rules for criminal background checks. The national policy change quietly introduced in July affects organizations and employers who deal with children and others considered vulnerable, including the elderly and people with disabilities. The new RCMP screening measure is intended to ferret out pardoned sex offenders who change their names after release, seek positions of trust and go on to prey on young victims again. Volunteers and employees working with the vulnerable whose organizations require criminal record checks will now also be checked to see if their date of birth matches that of any of the 14,000 pardoned sex offenders in a national database. Those born on the same day as one of the offenders will have to be fingerprinted to ensure they aren’t in fact the sex offender operating under a new name. A calculation by an SFU statistician suggests at least one-third of male volunteers – and perhaps closer to half – would match the date of birth of one of the paroled sex offenders and therefore be subject to fingerprinting. “The odds of your date of birth being in there are fairly strong,” confirmed Robert Murray, the RCMP’s manager for civil pardons and purged services, who added the force has no concrete numbers yet. If fingerprints are required, the check may take up to four months to complete, he said, although for most people who don’t turn up a possible match, the processing delay is expected to be just two to four weeks. Fingerprints will be destroyed after each search and not retained in any type of registry, Murray emphasized. “Our goal is to ensure vulnerable individuals are placed in the care of people who are trustworthy and who have not
B.C. Soccer executive director Bjorn Osieck said his organization is now requiring criminal record checks, meaning fingerprinting for some of the thousands of adult volunteers. “It might serve as a deterrent for a few people,” he said. “But I have to believe that everyone is generally on side with the notion of wanting to make things as safe as possible for the kids.” B.C.

the scene …on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
The Country Men There’s still a chance to cheer on the Country Men, Tanner Lohr, 17, and Robbie Walker, 18, two young Surrey musicians – and licensed White Rock buskers – who are competing for the top spot in the PNE’s Red Robinson Talent Showdown, today (Aug. 25) at 3 p.m. The duo, well known on the Peninsula for busking Beatles songs on White Rock pier and their band The Fab Before, which won the City of Surrey’s City Jam 2009, were finalists in the 2009 Red Robinson Talent Showdown Youth Division. For such young performers, they each have a lot of musical experience. Lohr, an honour roll French Immersion student at Earl Marriott Secondary, plays guitar in the school jazz band, is currently being trained in violin and is teaching himself to play harmonica, piano, Irish pan flute and mandolin. He has also received coaching from singer-instructor Heidi McCurdy and guitarist Todd Brewer of the Todd Brewer School of Music. Returning to Marriott for Grade 12 in the fall, he plans to pursue post-secondary studies in forensic psychiatry and music therapy at McGill University. Singer-songwriter-guitaristkeyboardist Walker started playing piano at age eight, and picked up guitar soon after. Prior to graduating Langley High School, he starred as Danny Zuko in the school production of Grease. A fan of Bach and Chopin when he first began music studies, he admits his biggest influence is the music of the Beatles. The Country Men will compete against Corbin VanderZalm and Samantha Sadler for the title. Also making it to the semi-finals in the Youth Division at the Talent Showdown Sunday was South Surrey singer Arden Reimer, 12.
Shelby Noble South Surrey singer-songwriter Shelby Noble, 17, is in the running for Dr. David Suzuki’s CBC Radio 3 Playlist For The Planet contest to help find Canada’s environmental anthem. Noble’s original tune It’s Not My Fault qualified for the contest by the Aug. 18 submission deadline. Should she be named winner, Noble – in addition to the glory of having composed a national environmental anthem – will also be the winner of a new guitar, sponsored by Long & McQuade and Gibson Guitars. Sept. 11 is voting deadline for the contest; voting is open to all who visit the website at radio3. cbc.ca

Falk art Implications of Runway — A Modern Twist on an Ancient Form of Expression is an exhibit of work by Langley artist Susan Falk, running to the end of August at White Rock Community Arts Council Gallery, 1959 152 St. 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 if discovered on the wall of a stone age cave.

S
itting amongst a sea of empty boxes, fading photographs strewn about the living room floor and a scattering of trinkets and knickknacks, Alison Anderson felt lost and overwhelmed. But sorting and packing her parents’ personal belongings would just be the beginning of the daunting task ahead. The South Surrey resident also had a thick pile of medical and insurance forms to go through on behalf or her father – a widowed veteran who was about to leave the dream log home he built with his own two hands to begin the next chapter of his life. There was also the cleaning, heavy lifting and unpacking to worry about – not to mention the emotionally taxing job of soothing her father’s distress and anxiety over the life-changing transition of moving into a retirement community.
Fortunately for Anderson, she had siblings willing to help share the load of responsibilities and a parent who was ready to embrace change. Not every family has it as easy, she would soon discover. ... Through the experience of caring for and transitioning her parents Anderson found light – a light that would guide her onto a new, fulfilling career path. While assisting her father with his move, Anderson discovered she had a talent for sourcing out valuable resources, such as tracking down government funding and finding home, community and medical support – information that had not been readily available or accessible to someone who didn’t know where to look.
“I realized I should have been a private eye,” joked Anderson, who decided to embark on a career in real estate. Using her parents’ friends as her first initial contacts – friends who had helped celebrate her adoption – she began to carve out the ‘senior’s real estate market.’ “It was through that experience I truly experienced the emotional side to a move through the eyes of seniors,” said Anderson, who helps seniors settle seamlessly into their new nests. For seniors with chronic health conditions, mobility issues or dementia, leaving a home they lived in for decades can be overwhelming. The idea of starting anew can also be intimidating for those in perfect health. see page A27

Helping elderly parents or relatives from afar Today’s families are more geographically diverse than ever before. Whereas it was once common for families to remain in the same city or state for generations, nowadays families
routinely spread out across the country if not the world. Thanks to technological advancements that make it easier than ever before to stay in touch, families today can still thrive and
stay close even if they live hundreds, if not thousands, of miles away from one another. One issue facing many families that have chosen to spread out is how to help Mom and Dad when
they reach the age where they need their adult childrens’ help. While this wasn’t a problem for the families of yesteryear, it is a genuine concern for adults who live far away from their parents. Fortunately there are ways to be there for your elderly parents even when you can’t physically be there for them.
■ Speak to your parents about what they need. While some parents might not be able to realistically assess their needs, children should speak to their parents when making decisions about their care. Adults who live far away from their parents might not know exactly what Mom and Dad need, so discuss the problems they might be having on a dayto-basis to determine the level of care or assistance they will need.
■ Examine finances.
Managing money is often difficult for seniors who have had an accident or are dealing with a serious medical condition. Seniors might forget to pay bills or be struggling to manage money with the escalating costs of prescription medications and health care in general. To help avoid missed bills, adult children
Caring for elderly parents from afar is a growing concern as many families continue to move across the country. can utilize online bill paying offered by many banks, wherein bills are automatically paid each month on their due date by simply being deducted from a given account. Adult children can also consult a financial advisor to develop a plan that allows seniors access to their money while ensuring it will still be there when they need it.
■ Research community resources. Many communities provide adequate resources for the elderly who might be incapacitated or otherwise need assistance.
Programs such as Meals on Wheels can be a great assistance to longdistance caregivers concerned about their elderly parents.
■ Stay in touch with seniors’ physicians. One way to monitor elderly parents from far away is to keep in frequent contact with their physicians. Discuss the situation with your parents’ physicians in person, and ask to be kept abreast of any changes in their health that might require altering their daily routines or homecare schedules.

Local consulting business a legacy of love from page A25 “When someone has raised a family and created the energy and synergy of a home, the process to sift through that can be a lot for anyone to handle,” said Anderson. That proved to be the case for her own father, who passed away in 2006. “I realized later on that back when I was going through my dad’s possessions, trying to decide what to pack, what to toss and what to share, I really should have sat down with him and asked his opinion instead of making the choice on his behalf. At the end of the day it’s about quality of life and preserving memories – who better to make that decision than the person who holds them and knows them?” Anderson has found that many adult children aren’t fully prepared for the tables to turn when dealing with an aging parent. “You rely on your parents all your life and then one day they need your help... Most children will jump in – do what needs to be done – but not always... A lot of adult children (the baby boomers) have their feet in so many different camps and are busy with families and jobs or separated by distance, that many just don’t have the time to help – especially when it comes to sorting through decades of accumulated possessions... they are always quick to say, ‘please help!’” After spending 15 years in the real estate realm, Anderson desired the need to work with people in a new venue. With the pursuit of further education,

Alison Anderson at the newly renovated WhiteCliff Seniors Retirement Community, where she completed the finishing touches of her client’s move. Inset: Anderson’s business is a legacy of love in memory of her late parents, Hugh and Doris Cameron. she found herself working with adults in transition empowering them to discover their full potential. Being familiar with the demographics of the working and retiring workforce, it seemed timely to implement her interest with working with the aging population and their families once again. Last year, Anderson launched her own home-based consulting company called Compass Senior’s Services Inc. As a certified relocation and transition specialist, Anderson and her professional team orchestrate nearly every aspect of a move for seniors, including helping them determine what retirement lifestyle options are available to meet there needs; what to take to their new residence, visual floor plans, home staging, hooking up utilities
and electronics, hanging pictures and draperies and unpacking items in a way that closely mirrors how things were before, and much more. “At the end of the day, when our clients step across the threshold of their new home, their possessions are in their assigned place. Lights are plugged in, TV and electrical appliances are all set, beds are assembled and made, close friends and family are notified of address changes,” said Anderson. In addition to relocation services, Compass Senior’s Services Inc. offers a broad spectrum of support, including its popular Through the Door transportation service, which offers assistance for all seniors, including those with wheelchairs, walkers and service dogs. Unlike a taxicab, Compass assists
seniors with putting on their coat and walking to their vehicle. Upon request, they’ll accompany seniors to their appointment and scribe notes for their reference. And at the end of the appointment they’ll be waiting to take you home. “As much as there is a need for taxi service, I would be horrified if someone left my mother or dad at the curb,” said Anderson. Compass always welcomes the opportunity to create and tailor services to meet the unique needs of clients. Recently, Anderson was contacted by an elderly woman who was unable to attend her sister’s funeral due to health problems, which prevented her from flying to another province – where the service was being held. With the help of modern technology, Anderson was able to bring the service to her client’s own living room. “She kept talking at length about how upset she was she couldn’t be there for the funeral,” said Anderson, who arranged for the funeral to be broadcasted live on Skype. Together, they lit a candle and raised a glass of sherry to honour the woman’s late sister. With the senior population expected to boom in the next decade, Anderson is prepared for her unique business to bloom. Anderson looks forward to assisting new clients, whether it be a relocation or lending a hand for the “everyday odds and sodds” “It is common place to seek out professional services for health, legal, financial help, and now there is a professional to assist with navigating transitions later in life. Let us help you move on with confidence.” For more information about Compass Senior Services Inc., and it’s services or for a complimentary in-home consultation, call Anderson at 604-5318772 or visit www.compass-seniors.ca

Safety a big factor in the choice for assisted living Thousands of people every year begin the process of evaluating assisted living facilities either for themselves or a loved one. Personal safety is one of the primary reasons individuals choose to
enter a care facility. Seniors often cherish their independence and don’t want to admit they may need help in certain areas of daily life. However, injuries in and around the house have become a routine part
of many seniors’ lives. At some point in time, a conversation has to be had if it is no longer safe for an elderly person to live alone. Assisted living facilities are suitable for individuals needing help

with activities of daily life, but who desire to live as independently as possible for as long as possible. An assisted living facility acts as a transition between independent living and a nursing home. It is practical for those who cannot live on their own but do not require constant supervision. Facilities may offer a host of services, including assistance with eating, dressing, bathing, housekeeping and other needs. The center also may be able to provide some level of medical care. The Peninsula has no shortage of retirement living facilities. Whether you desire a calendar packed with exciting social activities and happy hour or a quiet nook to curl up with a cup of tea and conversation, there is a lifestyle option for everyone in the White Rock/ South Surrey area. Because safety is the primary reason for seeking a new living arrangement, safety should be one of the foremost considerations when choosing an assisted living facility. Here are some questions to ask when visiting properties. * Is there adequate lighting indoors and outdoors? * Are apartments equipped with grab bars
While cost is often a major factor in choosing an assisted living facility, if the facility offers everything desired, it could be worth the expense to pay more for quality care. in the bathrooms and safety railings in the hallways? * Can a person move freely throughout the apartment without tripping on carpeting or other obstructions? * Are there safety signaling devices inside the residence in case of an emergency? * Are there personnel available 24 hours a day in case assistance is needed? * Is a call-in system present to ensure that residents are doing well every day? * Are employee references checked thoroughly and have they undergone a background check to ensure they are safe to have on the premises? * Is the facility clean and up-to-date with the latest technology? * Is there medical care available for routine

services, such as dietary needs, podiatry and general check-ups? * Is there a maintenance staff available for home fixes? Once safety concerns have been addressed, facilities can be considered based on other desirable factors. Many individuals want facilities that offer recreation, free transportation to stores and doctor visits and proximity to family and friends. Some residents desire a small facility, while others like the options of a larger community. Cost will also be a major factor in an assisted living facility decision. If the facility offers everything desired, it could be worth the expense to pay a little more for good care.

Protect yourself by managing medications Statistics indicate that the average senior takes four to five prescription medications daily and potentially two over-the-counter products as well. Individuals could be consuming 10 to 15 pills in one day. Research also indicates that a senior will use roughly 25 different prescription medications during the course of a year. Managing this many medications can be tricky. Seniors rely on a myriad of medications for various health conditions. Oftentimes, these meds are prescribed by different specialists with little to no coordination between them. Doctors often rely on patient information regarding prescription usage to complete medical history forms and determine whether another medication is safe to take. It is easy for the elderly to forget about a medication he or she is taking or mix it up with another when the person is managing so many pills. Drug interactions can be dangerous and potentially fatal. Therefore it is essential to manage meds as carefully as possible. 1. The first step to take is to make a list of all medications that you are currently taking. If you use one pharmacy (highly adviseable for record-keeping and notification of drug interactions), you can ask the pharmacy to print a list of
Being careful with medications can mean the difference between life and death. the pills you take. It will have the actual names and show your prescription history. Make copies of this list. Store one at home in a file cabinet, and keep others in your wallet or purse to bring with you to doctors’ appointments.
When asked about prescriptions, you’ll have your list ready and waiting. 2. Make sure you fully understand dosage and duration of medications when your doctor prescribes something. Doctors stereotypically have poor handwriting on prescriptions. Therefore, do not hesitate to ask that the instructions be repeated. Verify the instructions with the pharmacist when picking up the medication. 3. Store all medication in the original containers so that you have the proper dosage and expiration dates. This will make renewals and dosage checks easier. 4. If you take multiple pills each day, it can be handy to use a pill organizer separated into days of the week and times of the day. At the beginning of each week, use your pill bottles to measure out what pills you need to take at each time. If you feel confused about this process, ask a family member, friend or even the pharmacy to help. 5. Read the safety information provided with prescription medications. t will tell you what you can and can’t do while taking a medication, as well as potential side effects. If you have any concerns about the information, speak with the pharmacist or call your doctor. You’re always better safe than sorry. 6. Store prescriptions where they are

Big Kahuna face tougher task ahead versus Raiders
Rams extend winning streak to three Chris Swartz
B
Special to Peace Arch News
ig Kahuna Rams extended their winning streak to three games with a 59-14 victory over visiting Kamloops Broncos last Saturday at South Surrey Athletic Park. While the Broncos proved to be a game opposition, it was clear early that they were a little outmatched against the talented Big Kahuna squad. Once again, it was Nick Downey’s presence on punt return that set up a Rams’ touchdown. This time it was his own. In an effort to avoid a big return by Downey, the Broncos opted to punt out of bounds from deep in their own end, but the Dartmouth native made them pay on the very next play by hauling in a 39-yard touchdown toss from quarterback Nathaniel White. Five minutes later, the Broncos were forced to punt from their own end again. But this time Downey would make them pay for not kicking it out of bounds. The reigning CJFL special teams player of the year scooped up the loose ball near mid field and sprinted 57 yards untouched for his league leading second punt return touchdown of the season. White hit Griffin Bullock with a 10-yard scoring strike to make it 21-0 – and until that point, Big Kahuna had only taken one penalty for five yards in one quarter of play – but the Rams committed 16 fouls for 145 yards the rest of the way.

Kamloops Bronco Thomas Batty (right) hauls down Sean O’Neil of the Rams at South Surrey Athletic Park. The most costly of the flags thrown the Rams way came midway through the second quarter when Broncos kicker Aaron Smit missed on a 31-yard field goal. Downey fielded the kick five yards deep in his own end zone and returned it 115 yards the other way for a touchdown, but the Rams were flagged, the
spectacular play was negated. Big Kahuna would then take the ball on their own 35-yard line and, two plays later, White hooked up with Matt Chapdelaine on a 72-yard scoring play. Three plays later, the Rams defensive unit got onto the score sheet when former Earl Marriot Mariner Joe Lester stepped in
front of a Broncos pass attempt and took it all the way to the house for a 50-yard interception return touchdown. Fellow Rams defensive back Belah Small one-upped his teammate with an 80-yard interception return touchdown, his fifth pick and second touchdown of the season.
The Broncos’ faithful finally got something to cheer about when running back Clayton Ludba scored on a 60-yard touchdown run to make the score 42-8 at the break, but not before Big Kahuna defensive back Jordan Linnen would fall victim to another Rams infraction. The Surrey native had an 85-yard interception return touchdown negated by a foul on the final play of the half. Early in the third, White threw his fourth touchdown pass of the day – and ninth in his past two games – when he found Bullock with a 37-yard scoring toss, the second touchdown reception of the day for the North Vancouver native made the score 49-8. White wasn’t done yet. He scored his second rushing touchdown in as many games with a nine-yard run, and Bullock rounded out the scoring with a late field goal from the 14 yard line. The win moved the Rams into sole possession of third place in the BCFC standings with a 3-2 record, just one game back of the Okanagan Sun and Nanaimo’s VI Raiders, who are tied atop the standings at 4-1. Things get much tougher for Big Kahuna this week as they host the Raiders Saturday in a repeat of last year’s BCFC Championship game. Kickoff is 3 p.m. at South Surrey Athletic Park. All BC Minor Football players and cheerleaders get free admission if wearing their game jersey or sweater, as the Rams salute the upcoming BC Minor Football season.
Peninsula volleyball players competing in Toronto this week
Locals seek national crown A handful of Peninsula athletes will be heading to Toronto this week to represent B.C. at Beach Volleyball Nationals. The duo of Ryan Thain, an Earl Marriott Secondary student, and Surrey’s Alex Russell recently took home the gold in the boys U17 division at provincials, held at
Vancouver’s Spanish Banks Aug. 14-15. Thain and Russell, along with the Peninsula’s Jim Bell and Mackenzie Satterfield – who took bronze in provincials for boys U16 – will hit the sand at Ontario’s Ashbridges Bay Beach Aug. 27-29 to compete for the national title.
Though they won’t be making the trek to nationals, South Surrey’s Emma Blacklock and Kelly Simpson won their girls U14 division title at provincials, and Matt Bonshor and Graham Stoliker came in second place in boys U17. -Melissa Smalley

Team B.C. strikes gold at rugby nationals Staff Reporter
Several Peninsula rugby players returned from nationals in Calgary with medals around their necks earlier this month, as each Team B.C. squad placed in the top three at the tournament. The youngest B.C. team, the boys U14 side, included Earl Marriott student Carson Burgin, and Southridge Secondary’s Nick Collett, Nico Docolas and Gordon Dobson. After defeating teams from Saskatchewan
and Alberta, Team B.C. squared off in finals against the Ontario squad, a team that B.C. had suffered a loss to earlier in the tournament. After taking an early lead in the goldmedal game, Ontario found its offence, gaining momentum and the lead at 14-10. However, B.C. came back to regain the lead and never looked back, winning the bout 34-19. Suiting up for the women’s U19 squad were locals Sylvie Mullen, Casey Jones and
Andrea Temple, who helped their B.C. team earn a third place finish. Up against one of two Ontario teams, B.C.’s squad went down early on a breakaway try from 60 metres. However, the rest of the game was all B.C., who scored four unanswered tries to earn a 22-5 victory and the bronze medal. Other B.C. squads to compete were two U16 men’s squads, which brought home the silver and bronze, and the U18 men who fell to Ontario in the finals for the silver.

Silver for local bowlers Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter
Two members of the White Rock Lawn Bowling Club won silver medals while representing B.C. at nationals last week. Christie Grahame brought home the silver medal in men’s singles at the Canadian Lawn Bowling Championships in Edmonton, Alta., while Dave Baldwin, competing for one of the province’s men’s fours teams, also brought home the silver. Grahame’s medal topped off an already successful summer, where he won gold in provincial seniors triples in Maple Ridge in July, as well as first place in men’s provincial singles in North Vancouver earlier this month. Grahame is now heading off to Halifax, N.S., where he’ll compete in the Seniors Triples, along with fellow White Rock Bowling Club member Mary Wright, who has a provincial gold medal under her belt from earlier in the summer. Wright will also be competing on home soil next month when the White Rock Lawn Bowling Club hosts the Mixed Pairs Canadian Championships Sept. 7-14.

NCAA teams visit Kwantlen Both the Kwantlen men’s and women’s basketball teams came up short in games this week against visiting high-level NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) teams from the U.S., but the experience was worth it. The men’s team played the Idaho State Bengals Wednesday, losing 84-60. But it gave coach Bernie Love a first look at his revamped team, which is a much younger squad than the one that went 7-11 (wonlost) in the B.C. Colleges Athletic Association last season, missing the postseason by one game. “We competed for the full 40 minutes which to me was very important,” said Love. “This was my first look at a lot of new faces on the roster this year so I really got a great look at what a lot of them are capable
of doing on the floor. “This is a level of basketball that we won’t see in our league so it was great to see the guys hold their own against a bigger athletic team.” The women’s match Tuesday ended in a lopsided 111-67 win for the visiting Horned Frogs from Texas Christian University. Prior to the game, Matthew McKay, in his first season as coach of Kwantlen women’s team, was also looking forward to seeing his young squad at work. “The women have been working hard throughout the off-season in individual workouts and open gyms and have shown some tremendous potential,” he said. “The combination of talent and work ethic I’ve seen over the summer has me excited about where this group can go.”

It is with great sadness that Robert Sydney Craigâ&#x20AC;Śour Rob, passed away on July 23 in hospice in Red Deer Alberta. He will be deeply missed by his wife Carolyne, daughter Jody, sister Kathy, niece Samantha and mother Joyce Alp. Rob lived a big life not only in White Rock BC, but also in Sylvan Lake Alberta where he made his home. Rob will be remembered for his constant smile, and his love of fast cars, big trucks, loud rock and roll music, playing hockey and the oil business, which took him all over the world including far away place like Siberia, Tunisia, Libya, Swan Hills, and Fort McMurray. Rob loved the oil business and progressed from being a rig hand to eventually elevating himself to being a much sought after private consultant in the Natural Gas drilling ďŹ eld. Rob was a great hockey fan. He continually cheered for his beloved Vancouver Canucks even though he was at most times surrounded by Oiler and Flames fans. Rob fought a long and courageous battle against cancer which ďŹ rst took his voice and then his life 6 years later. He never wanted to give up. Robâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rock and Roll Road Show is on its way to Heaven, when you see a sparkle in the sky..that is Rob winking at all of us that he will be there ďŹ rst, in the front seat of his beloved Camaro. Rest well Rob, You will be really missed. A private family memorial has been held in White Rock BC. A celebration of life gathering will take place in Sylvan Lake Alberta on Saturday September 11, 2010. Please contact Darwin Smith for details @ darwin88@telus.net.
