Police superintendent serves notice to splinter group from White Rock chapter

Hells Angels ‘not welcome in Surrey’ Jeff Nagel Black Press

Supt. Bill Fordy pledged to do everything possible to counter the planned establishment of a new group and clubhouse by Hells Angels formerly with the White Rock chapter.

“Outlaw motorcycle gangs are not

welcome here or anywhere else,” Fordy said. “If the Hells Angels expect to set up a clubhouse in Surrey, I am serving them notice right here and now that they are not welcome. I will use every lawful means at my disposal to ensure they understand that.”

The Angels’ White Rock chapter

is actually located in Langley – it left White Rock in the early 1990s – but a splinter group of members are reportedly calling themselves the West Point chapter and aim to establish themselves in Surrey.

Fordy called it an “emerging threat” but wouldn’t say what strategies or tactics Mounties might use

to counter the outlaw bikers.

“I have allocated resources that I am confident will allow us to meet this threat head on,” Fordy said.

Mayor Dianne Watts said Surrey’s Crime Reduction Strategy and the sheer number of RCMP officers based in the city will make it an unwelcome environment.

Watts said there’s been no application to the city for permitting to establish a new clubhouse.

“I’ve heard the rumours,” Watts said. “As officer in charge, (Fordy) said the RCMP will deal with it and look into what the intentions are.”

A new Hells Angels chapter would be the ninth in B.C.

Eight trees are to be removed from city property in the 1100-block of Balsam Street in White Rock this week, following an appeal by neighbours to restore their views and have the boulevard cleaned up.

The decision – made last week during a special meeting of council – followed a motion by Coun. Larry Robinson to accept a solution proposed by area residents.

The residents committed to putting $30,000 towards the project, which they suggested should include clearing undergrowth in the area, infilling a ditch and replanting limited-growth trees.

“The boulevard in its current state violates three city bylaws or policies,” Balsam Street resident John Bower told council.

In addition to restoring views that many of the residents moved to the area for, “the solution will provide privacy and noise buffering,” he said.

Bower submitted a 15-name petition in support of removing the trees, and several neighbours voiced their agreement with the plan – many highlighting the fact that the trees were not planted by the city in the first place.

The issue of how to deal with trees on city land has been a contentious one in recent years and led to officials redrafting the tree-management policy.

The new rules, which eliminate the opportunity to appeal denied treeremoval requests, were adopted by council in January – after the appeal regarding the Balsam Street trees was filed. see page 4

Police tape on a path leading to the river shows where a young woman’s body was found.

Body found near Nicomekl Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Police are investigating after a woman’s body was discovered near the Nicomekl River in South Surrey by a passerby Thursday.

Surrey RCMP officers with the detachment’s major crimes unit were called to the 15500-block of 40 Avenue around 4:30 p.m.

Sgt. Drew Grainger said the “horrendous discovery” was made by a man who was scoping out fishing spots. He found the woman – believed to be in her 20s – lying on a walking path adjacent to the river.

It’s believed she had not been there long.

An autopsy showed no obvious signs of foul play but police are awaiting a toxicology

report to confirm cause of death.

“On the surface, we don’t see any signs of foul play,” he said.

The next day, yellow police tape could be seen along a portion of the river’s shore; one officer was stationed immediately east of the bridge that runs over the river, at the foot of a pot-holed dirt road leading towards the area; and a dark-coloured SUV could be seen about 50 feet down the road.

The woman has been identified, but police are delaying releasing her name publicly out of respect for her family in Ontario.

Describing some of the circumstances as “unusual,” Grainger said efforts to “put this puzzle together” are continuing.

news Chamber of Commerce president says job would be posted if paid full-time

Acting director’s wage bump ‘goodwill’ Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Cliff Annable, acting executive director of the South Surrey and White Rock Chamber of Commerce, is now receiving more than a $1 nominal fee for the job.

But the remuneration “in no way” represents a full-time salary, according to chamber president Gary Hollick.

Hollick said the payment plan currently received by Annable is a matter of “goodwill,” and should not be interpreted as meaning he has been hired as executive director by the organization.

“Cliff ’s doing a great job for us,” he said.

“We’ve got to compensate him for some of his labour.”

Responding last week to concerns expressed

to the Peace Arch News that compensation received by Annable means he’s been hired for the post, Hollick said it’s more a reflection of the chamber’s improved financial status of late.

“The organization is becoming very stable,” he said. “We’ve got a pretty good bank account now – in a short period we went from a deficit to being in the black. It’s only fair to compensate Cliff, so the board made a decision to put in a small pay plan.”

When Annable was formally recognized as interim executive director in January, it was announced he was volunteering his services to the group for a nominal $1-per-year fee.

While Hollick declined – without the board and Annable’s permission – to quote the exact figure Annable now receives, he said the com-

pensation is a “fraction” of what others have received for the same work.

“It’s considerably less than the last two executive directors received,” he said.

“It doesn’t match what they were getting paid at all.”

Last fall, the chamber underwent cost-savings Gary Hollick measures that included president cutting hours for four employees, in addition to the position of executive director Cori Lynn Germiquet. The chamber’s previous executive director, Doug Hart, who had retired the previous May, returned on a volunteer basis until Annable was appointed. (The

chamber’s all-candidates meetings for Surrey and White Rock civic elections were also cancelled).

Hollick said Thurday that he believes some in the community may have “misunderstood” the payments as an indication Annable has been hired Cliff Annable full-time by the board. executive director “We’re trying to get to the end of the chamber year and if, at that point, we feel we’re now in a position to hire a full-time executive director, our due diligence would be to post the job – we need to be transparent about that.

“If Cliff wants to then, he can apply for it.”

Knife, bear spray and a busload of teenagers

Cloverdale brawl ends in injuries Sheila Reynolds Black Press

Five people were sent to hospital and one man was taken into custody after a massive brawl involving a busload of recent graduates broke out at a Cloverdale service station Wednesday night.

Surrey RCMP say a chartered bus carrying about 50 young men and women aged 18 and 19 stopped for a break behind a service station at Highway 10 and 176 Street in Cloverdale at about 11:30 p.m. A number of the youth had exited the bus and were milling around when a car carrying two young men drove through the area.

“A confrontation occurred between the motorist and the group of youth that were standing in the roadway to the point where the vehicle ended up stopped,” said Sgt. Drew Grainger.

He said damage was done to the car and the driver and passenger got out and began to fight with some of the youth, many of whom had been drinking.

Bear spray was used and a knife was brandished, although police say it remains uncertain by whom.

The 22-year-old male driver of the car was slashed across the chest before getting a two-by-four and swinging it at a number of the young people, allegedly striking at least three of them, causing serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

“This confrontation quickly escalated violently and was fueled by a toxic mix of alcohol, testosterone and poor judgment,” Grainger said.

The car driver was treated in hospital before being taken into custody temporarily. He faces charges of assault causing bodily harm.

Three people remained in hospital the next morning and more charges may be considered as the investigation continues, Grainger said.

Anyone with more information is asked to call Surrey RCMP at 604599-0502 or, to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Neighbours seek help for starving wildlife in South Surrey

Malnourished coyote pups on minds Dan Ferguson Staff Reporter

Emaciated coyote pups have been spotted roaming through a South Surrey residential neighbourhood.

Residents who spoke to Peace Arch News say the animals have been observed along 24 Avenue near 141 Street for more than two weeks.

Crossing the road, they have occasionally brought traffic to a stop.

“They’re pups and they look really, really sick,” said resident Lisa Castle, who first noticed the young coyotes July 12. “They look very, very skinny. I’m worried about them. I just hope someone can help them.”

The sightings have been reported in an area of big houses on large lots with many trees.

Last week, resident Lynn Brandt saw two coyotes sitting on a sidewalk together and managed to get pictures of one.

“It was just kind of walking around,” she said,

adding that both are severely underweight and appear to be suffering from mange.

“It’s really sad.”

The Critter Care animal rescue agency in Langley, together with provincial conservation officers, have been trying to rescue the animals by leaving out sedative-laden treats, Brandt said.

She’s been told by Critter Care that the pups have likely been orphaned or have parents who are too ill or injured to care for them.

The hope is the animals can be recovered, then nursed back to health at Critter Care before being released into the wild far away from any urban area.

An online BC Ministry of Environment posting notes that coyotes are usually not a threat to people, especially adults.

“Problems between children and coyotes are usually the result of the coyote becoming conditioned/comfortable with people as a result

of direct or indirect feeding,” the website says, indicating residents often will either give the animals treats or fail to properly secure their garbage and compost.

The provincial Wildlife Act forbids feeding coyotes.

If a coyote is acting aggressively, it should be reported by calling 1-800-663-9453.

Other tips: ensure that garbage and compost is inaccessible, that outdoor pet food is securely stored, fruit is picked from trees and off of the ground and any potential habitat for the rodents coyotes feed on, such as neglected yards, garages or sheds, is kept clear.

A sturdy fence that is at least two metres tall will discourage coyotes from entering yards.

However, the fence must be dug into the ground or a least flush to the ground to prevent coyotes from going under it.

Limited-growth trees to take place from page 1 Mayor Wayne Baldwin described the July 16 hearing as “not a normal procedure for us.”

“We’re only doing it because we have an application (that) got in before the policy was changed,” he told attendees.

The application to remove the Balsam Street trees was received on July 19, 2011; notice that it had been denied was sent out weeks later, on the basis residents within 25 metres had objected.

While Baldwin had predicted council would reserve decision on the matter until July 23, they voted unanimously – Couns. Helen Fathers and Louise Hutchinson were both absent – to remove the trees after hearing from residents on both sides.

Heather Baldwin (no relation to the mayor) was the only person to speak against their removal.

Noting the trees are healthy, she said they provide shade, privacy and noise protection.

The senior, who has lived immediately adjacent to the trees since 1982, said they were mature when she bought her house and that the view for those complaining is no different now than it was then.

“I would rather not see any

Residents plan to replace trees. more trees destroyed for view.”

Neighbour Greg Fraser said concern for views is only one aspect that led to the application.

The unkept city boulevard attracts garbage, rodents and weeds, he said, all of which are contributing to deteriorating values.

Fraser described the plan as “an upgrade and remediation” that will benefit the neighbourhood.

In discussing support for Robinson’s motion, Coun. Grant Meyer noted council is not “anti-tree.”

“I think some of us were labelled that before,” he said, referring to backlash that came from council’s January 2011 approval of an appeal to remove trees on Royal Avenue. “I think having trees that mature at (a limited height), I think that’s reasonable.”

In addition to approving removal of the trees and undergrowth, council directed staff to do a detailed review and prepare a report on the trees’ replacement.

Discussion of a second tree appeal that night was shorter.

Council heard from residents concerned about a honey locust growing on city land adjacent to 15210 Pacific Ave. An application to transplant the tree – which is one in a row of trees along the boulevard – was received on Aug. 25, 2011; a letter denying the request was sent out last month.

Gaylene Leask told council the tree in question had grown to obscure views over the course of her 11 years in the building.

Neighbour Bruce Watkins spoke in support of removing the tree, citing sightline concerns for traffic and loss of view.

“We had a beautiful view and it’s gone,” he said.

While no one spoke against the tree’s removal, the city received a number of letters of opposition; concerns included that approval of the request would only set a precedent for future requests.

Council instructed staff to look at the possibility of replacing the entire row of trees.

When White Rock resident Tim Davison phoned his city about the dead raccoon on Marine Drive, he was surprised to learn the animal had perished on the wrong side of the road as far as the city was concerned.

Davison discovered the dead animal on the sidewalk on Marine Drive just west of Stayte Road July 14 around noon.

He said he phoned the city to have the raccoon taken away because the carcass was lying on the sidewalk that leads to the beach and he could see people stepping over the body.

“Which side of the street is it?” said the person who took the call.

When Davison explained the raccoon was lying on the southern side, the city staffer said that placed it in Surrey.

“It’s not our problem,” Davison said he was told.

He was not impressed.

“It just seemed so silly,” he told Peace Arch News.

Then Davison called the City of Surrey and left a message on their phone system.

Sometime in the next two hours, someone removed the raccoon.

about which side of the border a dead animal is located.

“Normally, we’d just pick it up,” Thandi said.

“It’s not a big deal.”

Thandi said he personally has removed dead animals from the other side of the White Rock-Surrey dividing line a number of times.

Even if a dead critter technically isn’t within the city boundaries, “it is a reflection on White Rock as well,” Thandi said.

If a bylaw officer is busy, pickup may not happen right away, he added.

Thandi noted there are situations where the exact location of the border is important, such as the line along the beach that separates the two cities because they have different rules about dogs.

“I do not have the power to enforce White Rock bylaws in Surrey,” Thandi said.

Keeping calm in face of tragedy

N

ews on the street lately has been pretty grim.

Twelve people shot to death in a Colorado movie theatre Thursday night.

Two people, including a 14-year-old girl, killed at a Toronto house party, just weeks after two died in a shooting at the same city’s Eaton Centre mall.

Closer to home, four people – including three from the same family – died after a mudslide swept through Johnson’s Landing in rural B.C. July 12.

Thursday, a young German Shepherd died after being left in a Vancouver dumpster.

And Friday morning, police confirmed the body of a young woman was found near the Nicomekl River in South Surrey.

The tragic and heart-wrenching – and, sadly, incomplete – list is enough to make one’s head spin; to make some question what is going on in the world, in their community and even in their neighbour’s backyard.

It may even give some pause; hesitation to do things – like go to a new movie, for example – that normally would be done without a second thought, for fear of being added to that ugly list.

Tragedy, we know, is not a new thing. It is seen, heard, photographed, shared, tweeted, debated and what-have-you every day. It can be accidental or the result of incomprehensible intent. It leads to front-page newspaper stories, headlined television broadcasts, based-on-fact movies and best-selling biographies.

Sometimes, tragedy will beget tragedy – a family member distraught by the death of a loved one decides to take one’s own life; friends angered by the shooting death of a close pal take justice into their own hands, triggering further violence, loss and grief.

But, amidst all the pain and anger and frustration of the senselessness, should we stop living our daily lives? It may seem like a good idea, at least in the blurred aftermath. After all, no one person or community is immune to senseless tragedy. Why not lower the odds where possible?

To say that taking that stance would be a greater tragedy than all the deaths of recent days would sound ridiculous. But there’s no question that actually taking that stance would only compound what has happened.

It would show those who perpetuate such acts that they are indeed powerful. It would teach our children to be afraid, and there is nothing to gain from that.

There may not be any good in what has happened of late.

But why make it worse?

So far this week you’ve said… yes 59% no 41% 65 responding Is it because on any given day, men can’t remember what they had for breakfast that morning, let alone what commitments they have in a week’s time?

That would explain why a lot of guys take a long time to start dating again after the break-up of a long relationship.

They keep waiting for her to tell them they’re going out, and when.

Or is it because after guys find a partner and settle down, organizing social engagements can be off-loaded. Have found the Significant Other. Critical basic needs now taken care of.

That doesn’t explain, however, events like football games and fishing trips, which involve having fun and drinking beer, both of which fall into the critical basic needs category.

Those activities have to be “checked with the wife,” as well.

Gentlemen, at what point in our development did our gender surrender?

I mean, what would have happened if General Wolfe, instead of attacking Montcalm on the Plains of Abraham, had told his officers he had to check with his wife first?

She’d have told him it was OK as long as he cleaned out the garage first – and as a result, we’d all be speaking French.

Think of that the next time you refer all social engagement queries to the Activity Organization Department, which is manned by a woman.

Now, dear readers, I’m going fishing, among other things (all wife-approved).

Healthy trees on the block

Cameras come at a major cost

Editor: On the evening of July 16, I attended a meeting at White Rock City Hall regarding eight healthy trees on the corner of Balsam Street and Semiahmoo Avenue.

I am not a resident of White Rock but live in South Surrey and am concerned with the preservation of all healthy, mature trees.

The owner of the adjacent property stated that the majority of these trees were well-established on the boulevard prior to her purchase of her property 30 years ago.

A number of people present at the meeting were upset regarding the unsightliness of the undergrowth, but it seemed their main concern was for their own property values and reduced views.

An arborist present at the meeting stated that all the trees were healthy.

The mayor and council voted to allow these eight healthy trees to be cut down. It is my understanding that this is strictly against going green and the protection of our trees.

If this is allowed here, then this sets a precedent for White Rock’s future tree policy and appeals. Is any healthy tree safe in White Rock?

J. Johnston, Surrey

Editor: Re: The times they are a-changing, July 12 letters.

Upon reading the letter from White Rock Coun. Larry Robinson, regarding cameras on the beach, a number of things became obvious.

It would seem he wants to sell on the idea of privacy-second, with mere aspersions of illegal acts.

Without the due care and diligence of an assessment report, required by provincial laws governing the use of cameras in public places, he is placing the cart before the horse.

Robinson fails to understand that police presence has always been a valuable deterrent in the community, and it is no different with foot patrols on the pier.

The fear mongering he is advancing towards supporting fellow Coun. Al Campbell is not wellfounded on existing statistical data. I suspect Campbell has become silent on his motion likely as a result of strong public opposition to it.

What Robinson is really telling us – “that we have only two bylaw officers on duty for the whole city” – is that he is focused on bylaw crime and not criminal-code offences.

City of White Rock bylaw officers are not mandated to enforce the many railway issues he advanced in his heartstring-pulling letter to the editor, nor does there exist substantial statistical data of fatalities or injuries taking place at

Incomparable civic design Editor: Re: Quality of life lost over time, July 17 letters.

I resent someone from Quebec criticizing progress in White Rock.

First of all, the writer does not live here, only visits. Also, from what I know, Quebec has a lot of problems of its own, and I am sure that someone from the West Coast going to Quebec and offering their critique would not be welcomed either.

I won’t pontificate on this. Let’s just say that progress is inevitable everywhere, and as much as some people would have loved to keep White Rock a small community, as it once was, that is not a reality.

Once it was discovered that this seaside community had the warmest weather on the coast and had easy access to downtown as well as the U.S. border, etc., people came from all over and made it their home.

Consequently, more housing had to be developed and, since there is not much space, highrises are here to stay. It would have been ideal if developers had built only three storeys, however that is not costeffective and there has to be a profit.

I believe – along with other people, I am sure – that the planning of this seaside community could have been better laid out and more attractive, but that is another issue.

Nevertheless, to compare White Rock to Oak Bay on Vancouver Island is not fair; the Island is very beautiful but it is not convenient for access to the mainland and thereby not comparable.

D. Barros, White Rock

the beach related to train movement.

Where the train traffic originates and what it carries matters not.

Robinson’s letter, as well, seems to have trains only going one way and does not mention they also travel south with our softwood lumber – this representing employment important to us as Canadians.

RCMP crime statistics fail to support the requirement for cameras. But as stated by Robinson recently on a radio show, our city is comparable to that of Pleasantville.

The bottom line here is you can’t have it both ways, Coun. Robinson, and that Orwell had it right in provoking thoughts on the erosion of one’s privacy in today’s society.

Ron Eves, White Rock Q It always amazes me how people welcome more government involvement and intrusion into their lives. The case of the proposal to install waterfront cameras at White Rock is a case in point.

Yes, having cameras there may add to public safety in some picayune way, just like having a camera in your kitchen in case there’s a flash fire or adding one in your bathroom in case you hit your heat on the toilet.

But how much of a difference will it make? And at what cost?

I assume those cameras and their monitoring won’t be free.

Perhaps Coun. Larry Robinson could take a little time away from touting the advantages of these cameras and explain to his constituents how much this will add to their yearly tax bill.

Pierre Home-Douglas, Dorval, Que.

Not hard to say goodbye to city Editor: We recently moved out of our home in White Rock and were going through a very traumatic experience with the move.

Our new home in the Okanagan fell through, and we could not find another one in such short notice.

So we were left to put some of our belongings under a tarp in the driveway so that the owners of the house could start the renovation.

While we were moving things to our storage locker, people were looting our belongings from in front of the garage. They even took my goldfish that we had taken out of the tank in order to move the 50-gallon tank that they were in.

I put what was left under a tarp and put signs on the tarp that said, “Keep Out – Private Property,” as my husband was in the Okanagan trying to secure a house for our family.

And do you think that would stop them? No, it did not. People came back the next day and took more.

We moved to White Rock four years ago after living in Ocean Park for almost 10 years without ever having an issue. My car was broken into our first night in White Rock – and several times after that, along with my husband’s and son’s trucks.

So I say goodbye and good riddance, because if this is the kind of people that live here then I am not proud to say I am from White Rock.

LeeAnn MacNeil, White Rock

A raccoon takes a break from hosting thousands of visitors at Critter Care’s open house July 15 in South Langley.

Selflessness makes hearts sing Editor: Re: Wild weekend planned at Critter Care, July 12.

We were delighted to read this article, as it was an incentive for us to check out this facility, a wildlife rehabilitation centre, and learn what goes on.

There was no admission charge but because it was their annual fundraiser, donations were gratefully accepted.

This facility receives no government funding whatsoever. The work done there is incredible.

Orphaned and sick animals are given shelter and care.

There are volunteer interns who come from around the world, to learn and contribute. It is my understanding they receive no salary, just room and board.

We saw numerous young women bottle-feeding babies such as otters, skunks, to name a few. There was also a bobcat and some deer.

There were guided tours enlightening us about everything that is done for these abandoned creatures – the care, the nurturing, the love, all very much in evidence.

It is so well-organized, and you can see that the numerous volunteers are all happy, knowing they are doing something worthwhile.

They deserve the support from anyone who is able.

We wish them the very best of success in such a selfless endeavour.

Reyat loses perjury appeal Jeff Nagel Black Press

Air India bomb maker Inderjit Singh Reyat has lost an appeal of his conviction for perjury at the trial that ended in the acquittal of his two alleged co-conspirators.

Defence lawyers argued jurors were mis-instructed on how to consider the Crown’s case that he lied 19 times under oath in an attempt to hide his knowledge of the terrorist plot.

But the B.C. Court of Appeal ruled the trial judge made no error and rejected the appeal.

Reyat was sentenced last year to nine years for perjury but is still separately appealing the sentence as unjust.

IN WHITE ROCK!

Victoria Avenue resident Charles Williams is certain that an invasive plant officials in Metro Vancouver have been warning can damage infrastructure has been growing on city property adjacent to his home for years.

White Rock to mull over knotweed plans Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

White Rock needs a plan to deal with an invasive plant capable of wreaking havoc on city infrastructure.

City manager Dan Bottrill and city arbourist Aelicia Otto confirmed last week that officials are looking at developing a “management strategy” for Japanese knotweed.

“We do need to talk about it,” Otto said.

The weed has been in the news of late, after it was discovered splitting concrete in the footings of the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge and infesting a Burnaby section of the $3.3-billion Port Mann/Highway 1 expansion project.

The publicity caught the attention of Victoria Avenue resident Charles Williams, who is certain a massive plant growing on city land adjacent to his property is one of the demon weeds.

“It’s definitely that plant,” Williams said, pointing to a cluster of leafy, bamboo-like stems spanning about four feet across at its base.

“This has been growing there ever since I moved in, which was 20 years ago. It grows about 20 feet tall.”

Williams said he breaks off or pulls out the stems every fall when they become dormant, and the city picks

them up as yard waste. Every year, it returns a little bigger, and he’s concerned it could impact a water line he’s been told runs along the same strip of property, parallel to Balsam Street.

Jennifer Grenz, program manager at the Invasive Species Council of Metro Vancouver, has described the knotweed as “a huge issue in terms of infrastructure and safety.” The concern is compounded by the plant’s resilience to eradication efforts.

Otto said she has fielded a number of calls since word of the problem hit the news earlier this month.

She described it as a “pretty competitive plant” and said while the city currently has no policy on how to deal with it, officials do want to hear from residents who know where it’s growing.

To report suspected knotweed, call 604-541-2181 or email aotto@whiterockcity.ca Officials are also monitoring public lands for any sign of giant hogweed.

The city issued an appeal for help locating that plant July 3, warning that contact with the non-native invasive – which has large blossoms of numerous white flowers clustered in an umbrella-shaped head – can cause “considerable injury.”

Mind and Matter Gallery showcases work

Festival of the Arts draws a big crowd Grey skies and a threat of rain may have led to paintings and easels being shrouded in plastic for the last day of the 39th annual Arnold Mikelson Festival of the Arts Sunday – but they didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of true art lovers.

There were still plenty who came to view the work of more than 100 artists and artisans on the wooded three-acre grounds of the Mind and Matter Gallery, during the four days of the South Surrey festival, July 14, 15, 21 and 22.

Medal haul high for local competitors

Surrey athletes shine at Games Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

ometown fans had plenty worth celebrating at the BC Summer Games last weekend, especially Sunday, when a handful of Fraser Valley teams captured gold medals on the event’s final day.

Two Fraser Valley (Zone 3) boys rugby squads finished on the podium at South Surrey Athletic Park Sunday, while Zone 3 teams – which includes athletes from White Rock, Langley, Surrey, and Cloverdale, among other cities – also scooped gold medals in boys box and field lacrosse and beach volleyball, while girls teams finished first in rugby, basketball, soccer and softball.

All the events were staged in South Surrey and Cloverdale, which the exception of box lacrossse, which was played at the North Surrey Recreation Centre.

Two of the most interesting

finals came on the rugby pitch Sunday – and none was more intriguing than the girls’ championship game, which saw two Fraser Valley teams square off for gold.

The two teams trained as one in the lead-up to the Summer Games, and both were coached by Jodi Cornell, making for a strange final which in the end, was won

by Fraser Valley 1, 27-5 over the No. 2 squad.

“It’s awkward… normally when I coach on the side, I’m very loud.

I’ll point out where my girls need to attack, where the other team’s weak points are. But, when my two teams are playing each other I’m just there to encourage with both sides.

“Both teams, we talked to them before (the game). We said, ‘this is the same as any other final. We don’t know who’s gonna win, we don’t know what’s gonna happen.

We want you to play like you don’t know the team across from you.’”

The awkwardness of the final did little to dampen the victors’ moods after the win.

“I’m ecstatic, I’m so happy. We worked so hard for it, every one of us,” said Lauren Kerr, captain of Fraser Valley 1.

In the U14 boys rugby tournament, the two Fraser Valley entries – both coached by Adam Roberts – also squared off, though not in the final game.

The Fraser Valley 1 team rolled to an 8-0 record in the three-day tournament, beating Vancouver Island 12-7 in the final. The Fraser Valley 2 squad, meanwhile, won bronze after going 6-2. The team’s only losses came to Fraser Valley 1 early in the weekend, and to Vancouver Island in semifinals.

“That game actually got a little heated – the guys knew each other so well, and really wanted to beat each other,” said Roberts of the see page 18

SURREY’S NEW RETHINK WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM s

The City of Surrey is rethinking the way it manages its household waste.

s

Starting this October 1st, 2012, we will begin collecting combined kitchen and yard waste in new green carts on a weekly basis while alternating garbage and recycling collection on a biweekly basis.

s

s

Between mid July and mid September you will receive three new carts, one each for organics, recyclables and garbage, plus a kitchen catcher. If your household contains a registered suite you will receive a secondary kitchen catcher for your suite.

We will be publishing details of our cart delivery route schedule in the local papers and on our website at www.surrey.ca/rethinkwaste

s

Each cart will be delivered to your curb side. Please bring your new carts onto your property but do not use them until October 1st, 2012 when our new trucks will come into operation.

s

Don’t worry if you’re away when your carts are delivered. We will be sending a crew to each completed route the day following delivery to move any carts remaining at curb side onto your property.

s

Just ahead of receiving your carts, we’ll be sending out your new Rethink Waste Collection calendar and instruction booklet, for services commencing October 1st.

s

For an instructional video on what to do when you receive your carts, please visit us at www.surrey.ca/rethinkwaste or contact our Waste Collection Hotline at 604-590-7289.

SURREY’S STREET TREES

Trees are thirsty too!

Summer is here; the weather is warm; and the trees on your street and in your yard need water. Like us, trees need long refreshing drinks of water to stay healthy.

Here’s what you can do to help your neighbourhood street trees and the trees in your yard this summer: 1. Water the trees twice a week.

2. Water thoroughly at the base of the trees for 15 minutes.

3. Water during the cooler parts of the day (early morning and dusk) and when it isn’t raining.

4. Water slowly so that the water has time to soak into the dry soil and reach the roots, instead of pooling on the surface.

Fraser Valley rugby teams win gold

Julia Palfreyman and Charlotte Barker, both of Vernon, compete for Zone 2 in synchronized swimming Saturday.

from page 15 Fraser Valley showdown.

Roberts called the gold medal “a real team win” but singled out a pair of Earl Marriott Secondary students, Wiley Gillette and Michael Smith, for praise.

Smith, Roberts said, “won us two games just on his defence alone.”

The U14 boys baseball team, coached by White Rock-South Surrey Baseball Association coach Jordan Broatch, placed second, losing to Vancouver-Squamish 8-1 in the finals, which were held Sunday at South Surrey Athletic Park.

While team events hogged the spotlight Sunday, Surrey and White Rock athletes fared well in a variety of individual events, too.

In track and field, Friday’s rainy weather couldn’t slow South Surrey’s Jake Hanna at Bear Creek Park.

On the first day of competition, Hanna won gold in the 300-m, and broke the provincial record twice – once during the semifinal heat with a time of 37.35 seconds, and again in the finals, when he crossed the line in 36.09 s.

Hanna added two more gold medals to his total after his record-breaking 300-m run. He also placed first in the 200-m and the 200-m hurdles.

Adding to the Fraser Valley’s trackand-field medal haul was Semiahmoo Secondary’s Chelsea Ribiero, who won gold in the girls 1,500-m steeplechase; Cloverdale’s Stephanie Mernagh won bronze in the 200-m; and Matthew McLean won silver in the boys 100-m.

However, it was Coquitlam track star

Chanell Botsis who stole the show, winning three gold medals, while also setting a new provincial record in the javelin with a toss of 43.06 m, shattering the old mark of 41.23.

Botsis was presented the W.R. Bennett Award for Athletic Excellence at Sunday’s closing ceremonies.

Swimmer Justin Howe, 14, of Victoria, had the largest medal haul of the weekend, going home with three golds, three silvers and one bronze.

The BC Summer Games were also highlighted by an appearance from Rick Hansen, who was in town to

watch daughter, Rebecca, compete with Zone 4’s beach volleyball team.

“I remember when I was a kid I had a chance to come at the BC Summer Games,” said Hansen. “It was one of the inspirational moments in my athletic career.”

The overall BC Summer Games team title was won by Vancouver IslandCentral Coast, with 101 medals. Fraser Valley placed second with 94.

sports British Columbia side earns shutout in title game

U19s win gold at rugby nationals British Columbia’s under-19 men’s rugby team – which features a pair of South Surrey players – rolled through the competition undefeated en route to capturing a gold medal at Canadian Rugby Championships last week in Edmonton.

In the title game, the B.C. side, which was co-captained by UBC Thunderbird and Semiahmoo Secondary alum Liam Murphy-Burke, shut out the Prairie

Wolfpack by a 30-0 score.

Team BC also included Bayside Rugby’s Dan Lee. “The Wolfpack had some big players and they put us under pressure but our defence was absolutely solid, just as it has been all tournament,” said B.C. head coach Kris de Scossa.

“That’s the second time we shut out our opposition and it just goes to show that defence wins championships.”

The Ivoclar Vivadent Tooth System is designed to provide denture wearers with an appliance that fits their facial characteristics as well as create a denture that functions, allowing a patient to enjoy their lifestyle. “The change in our patients from when they come in to when they leave with their new denture appliance is truly remarkable,” says Brown. “You can see the confidence in their huge smiles, which means we have done our job as a Denturist.”

Brown had a few maintenance tips for denture wearers; use a soft denture brush and warm water to clean your dentures daily. Remember not to use regular toothpaste, as this may breakdown the finish on the denture teeth and
