‘Split-second’ tragedy

Tour de White Rock

Baldwin calls for boost to race cash

Safety review vowed

Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter

Tracy Holmes & Sarah Massah Staff Reporters

As the investigation into Sunday’s tragic death of White Rock woman Anita Lewis continues, the city’s mayor is pledging to examine what more can be done to prevent similar tragedies along the waterfront railway tracks.

“We will review our current policies to see if there’s any other measures that the City of White Rock can take,” Wayne Baldwin announced at the start of Monday night’s council meeting, noting that review would get underway following conclusion of the police investigation.

Lewis, 42, died at about 9:45 p.m. July 14 after she was struck by a northbound passenger train as she jogged across the tracks at the pedestrian crossing in the 15600-block of Marine Drive.

Contributed photo Police are still tryAnita Lewis. ing to determine if Lewis was wearing headphones at the time and if the train’s engineer had sounded its whistle prior.

While BC Coroner’s Service spokesperson Barb McLintock would not comment on its investigation – saying “we haven’t quite started (it) yet” – a longtime friend of Lewis’s husband Mike Grahame said images from a surveillance tape viewed by BCCS reveal that Lewis looked to the right before jogging across the tracks, as the northbound train came from her left.

“The video showed that Mike was just eight seconds ahead of her,” said Greg Fraser.

“She was just running up the path and was focused on her running and she reached the top of the path and then… It was a splitsecond thing.” › see page 4

White Rock’s mayor is calling on the city and local business community to help fund a larger prize pool for next year’s Tour de White Rock.

In his mayor’s report in White Rock council Monday, Wayne Baldwin noted just 11 riders completed Sunday’s 134-km men’s Peace Arch News’ Road Race. He suggested a lack of cash incentive was to blame.

“That may be a function of the prize money,” he said of the race’s high attrition rate.

“It would appear that in order to keep people in the race, we’re going to have to have more prize money.

A lot of (the cyclists) just said ‘to heck with it, it’s not worth it.’”

Prior to the race, speaking at a VIP and sponsors breakfast Sunday morning at The Boathouse, he made similar statements regarding the Tour de White Rock prize budget.

Each event on the BC Superweek schedule is responsible for setting its own prize amounts, said Superweek race director Mark Ernsting.

“If the City of White Rock wishes to contribute more, then that is a decision they internally have to make,” he said in an email to Peace Arch News Tuesday.

While Baldwin is correct in that the Tour de White Rock has one of the smaller overall prize purses of the BC Superweek events – just $15,000 total – the limited number of riders completing Sunday’s course is likely less a result of prize money, or lack thereof, but rather race rules.

Seventy-six cyclists began the men’s race, but after 11 laps on the long course – which begins on Marine Drive and winds through the White Rock hillside – the race moves to a much shorter loop for the final five laps, and only riders who are on the same lap as the lead group are allowed to continue. › see page 5

Surrey Memorial’s upgraded emergency ward opens Oct. 1

ER gets much-needed boost 20% off F ALL GOLD

or perhaps the first time in its 54-year history, Surrey Memorial Hospital will have an emergency department that can actually handle the demands placed on it.

The new emergency department will open on Oct. 1, and on Saturday, residents of Surrey and North Delta had a chance to Frank Bucholtz take a look at it. Most were very impressed with what they saw.

One of the best touches is a separate emergency department entrance and treatment area for children.

Given the large number of children in Surrey, the hospital sees many coming to emergency. And up to the present, they have been forced to wait with dozens – and sometimes hundreds – of others waiting for treatment.

Some of those adults are very disruptive and that is hardly a welcoming or healing atmosphere for a sick child.

Indeed, adults with mentalhealth and substance-abuse issues will be seen in an area separated from the remainder of the emergency department.

This is a good step and should be helpful for everybody.

Another smart innovation will see a satellite imaging diagnostic department within the ER – meaning that diagnosis will be done on the spot.

...and frankly

Results will be available much more quickly, which will ease waiting times and improve the flow of patients.

SMH has for many years had the busiest ER in B.C. and some of the longest waits.

Past expansion projects have always been obsolete even before they opened, due to the rapid increase in population that continues unabated. The province has often been slow to plan for and fund health expansion in Surrey.

While it is hard to say just what will happen when this ER opens, it is likely that wait times will go down.

At 57,000 square feet, the new ER is five times larger than the current facility.

With the emphasis on separating children and people with mental-health and substance-abuse issues, it will almost certainly be a much less chaotic place.

However, it will not be underutilized. The wait times have been horrendous in recent years and, as noted in a Black Press article on the new facility, “some families drive out of their way to avoid the SMH emergency department.”

This hasn’t so much been due to a lack of trust in the staff, but more a realization that there would be long wait times and was often done out of a concern for the patient.

The SMH ER will get busier by the day. The current ER handles twice the number of patients it was built for – which explains the long wait times.

It is expected that there will be 109,000 ER visits to SMH next year, and visits are expected to jump by more than 50 per cent by 2030.

The overall construction project at SMH will help the hospital to better meet the needs of the growing population of Surrey and North Delta. It will also fit in with the city’s goal to encourage more healthrelated economic activity in the area surrounding the hospital.

It will help make Surrey more of a complete city, with actual services that a city of its size should have.

Surrey woman not seen by family since 1961

50 years later, mother missing no more Sheila Reynolds Black Press

It’s not the ending Linda Evans ever expected.

When her mom, Lucy Ann Johnson, went missing in Surrey more than 50 years ago, Linda was only seven or eight. She never heard from her again.

“Honestly, I thought she was dead because there’s been no contact. Nothing,” said Evans.

But that all changed in the past two weeks.

After Peace Arch News ran an article earlier this month about Johnson’s disappearance – one of Sur-

rey RCMP’s oldest missing person’s cases – Evans, now in her late 50s, got on her computer and started doing some research herself.

She knew her mother was born in Alaska, and on a whim, thought she’d see if anyone up North knew who she was. She placed an ad in the Yukon News detailing Lucy’s name and place of birth, as well as her grandparents’ names.

She began getting emails. And then phone calls – one of them from a woman claiming she thought she knew Lucy. In fact, said the woman, she was pretty sure the woman Evans was searching for

Family hears teen’s killer lost control

Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Kevin Diakiw Black Press

The man who killed 15-year-old Laura Szendrei in North Delta three years ago couldn’t control his sexual urges.

It was much the same problem he had when he attacked three other women near Burns Bog in the months prior to killing Szendrei in Delta’s Mackie Park, according to a Vancouver psychologist specializing in youth.

Dr. Kulwant Riar told a Surrey courtroom Tuesday the young man who has admitted to killing Szendrei has a “medium-to-high” risk of re-offending. That is, unless he gets treatment, Riar told a judge during a hearing determining whether the killer will be sentenced as an adult.

Because the crime was committed when he was 17, the killer cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Riar said the treatment he would recommend would be group therapy under specific conditions: “He is older, we could not put him in with youth.”

Szendrei’s family cheered and applauded Riar’s statement, taking it as a suggestion that the killer should not be sentenced as a youth.

An adult sentence for second-degree murder is life imprisonment, whereas a youth sentence carries a maximum of seven years, three years of which are Laura Szendrei served in the community.

Of the three other sexvictim ual assaults that the killer admitted to, in the first two, he grabbed the women and, in the third, he clubbed her.

Those three managed to escape.

All four attacks spanned from April to September 2010.

It was on Sept. 25, that the young man awoke at 9 a.m. with an urge to have sex, said Crown prosecutor Wendy Stephen.

He did some work with his dad and decided he was going to act on his urge. He packed a pipe and zap straps and headed to Mackie Park in North Delta, where he saw Szendrei, a girl he did not previously know.

“He told me his intention was to knock her out and have sex with her,” Riar testified.

Szendrei saw him, tried to run for help and was struck in the head with the pipe.

only other brother, Daniel, passed away in his teens).

She is now saving her money so she can travel to visit Lucy.

“I have a lot of questions,” says Evans. “And they’re all ‘Whys?’”

Though she missed out on many years with her mom, she has no hard feelings towards her – she’s long past that. But she would like to let her mom know she has five more grandchildren and 10 greatgrandkids she’s never met.

“I just hope I can be part of her life,” Evans says.

“I’ll just give her a big hug and hope the words come easy.”

Szendrei’s friends ran to her aid as her attacker made his escape, only to realize he’d forgotten the pipe and his hat at the scene of the attack. He made his way back as part of the crowd trying to help.

It’s not clear from the testimony whether he retrieved the hat and pipe.

Szendrei later died in hospital.

Her attacker was arrested in February 2011.

He was charged with first-degree murder but pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of seconddegree murder in October 2012.

Riar said the killer felt remorse.

“She did not deserve to die,” Riar recalled him saying, noting the attacker is unable to control his libido, which is relatively easy to treat. “If he gets aroused by the violence, that’s a different ball game.”

The killer sat in the prisoner’s box in Surrey Provincial Court, his expressionless face tilted down, while he listened to testimony.

Stephen described the killer as a shy boy growing up, with a B-average while attend-

ing Sands Secondary in North Delta.

His childhood was fairly typical, except for some teasing and bullying he endured early in high school. That levelled off in Grade 11, but he had noted he was still concerned he didn’t have a girlfriend at that time.

“I wonder every day how I could do this to someone and their family,” the accused is quoted as saying. “I have destroyed my own family.”

In arguing that he be sentenced as an adult, Crown prosecutor Christina Godlewski told Justice Robin Baird that one of the more paramount considerations is that it be “sufficient to hold the person accountable.”

Laura’s mother, Rachael Szendrei, spoke briefly to the press Tuesday afternoon.

“Sentencing as an adult is what he deserves,” she said. “No one deserves this, please.”

The killer’s family watched the proceedings via video but weren’t visible to the gallery.

The hearing continued Wednesday and was scheduled for four days, but may take longer.

White Rock council has voted to keep their thoughts on an application to increase the licensed capacity of a Marine Drive pub to themselves.

“Given it is one of our councillors who is a proponent for this, it puts council in a very awkward position,” Mayor Wayne Baldwin said Monday, in explaining his suggestion to simply forward public and staff comments regarding the Sandpiper Pub application to the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch.

Pub owners – one of them Coun. Bill Lawrence – have asked to increase the number of patrons allowed at the 15595 Marine Dr. establishment to 115 from 65.

Bill Lawrence Lawrence, who won a seat in last fall’s byelection, told Peace Arch News in January – following a temporary suspension of the pub’s liquor licence that resulted from being found over-capacity – that an application to change Wayne Baldwin the limit had been made.

After gathering comment from White Rock fire and police officials, city staff recommended the increase be capped at 110 (plus seven employees).

At a public hearing last month, residents voiced concerns including that an increase would exasperate earlymorning noise that is already dealt with at closing time.

One resident who spoke in favour of the application told council the increase would benefit the community by bringing more people and business to the area.

While council could have added their thoughts, they voted unanimously (with Lawrence excused from the discussion and vote) not to.

The final decision will be made by the LCLB.

Emergency personnel appreciated › from page 1 Fraser – speaking to media on behalf of the husband – said Grahame had crossed the train tracks leading to the promenade and was running on the boardwalk when he heard the train screech to a halt.

Doubling back, Grahame realized Lewis had been struck.

The fatality took place in front of a number of witnesses, including off-duty emergency responders who attempted to revive Lewis at the scene.

While Baldwin was reported in other media Monday saying witnesses told him they hadn’t heard the train’s whistle sound in the moments before Lewis was struck, he told Peace Arch News Wednesday it is not the key issue.

“I don’t know whether the whistle blew or not, but it’s very clear that the train is there,” Baldwin said. “It’s almost a moot point as to whether the whistle blew, because it’s a pretty big object and pretty hard to miss.”

Baldwin noted Transport Canada requires engineers to sound their train’s whistle three times upon entering and exiting an area of pedestrian crossings such as the waterfront.

While an agreement reached in the late 1980s between the city, BNSF and Transport Canada – as a result of local noise complaints

– means whistles are not to be sounded between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m., the rule does not apply to train bells, which are “going all the time,” Baldwin said.

Amtrak spokesperson Vernae Graham confirmed Wednesday that those bells were operating on the train in question.

In the days since the fatality, waterfront residents have reported an increase in sustained train whistles.

Baldwin said steps the city may consider at the crossing include more signage and the addition of a warning device of sorts, with an aim to increase community awareness. At the same time, “I don’t know how you can make people more aware,” he said.

“The track is there, it’s known that there are trains on it, there’s an increasing number of trains, the train is big… and it can’t stop.

“You really have to treat it like a crosswalk situation – that’s what it is, fundamentally. You wouldn’t step off into a heavily trafficked area without looking, that’s obviously asking for trouble.”

He described Lewis’s death as “a tragic loss, a tragic situation.”

A public celebration of life for Lewis is to take place at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday (July 23) at Victory Memorial Park, 14831 28 Ave. In lieu of flowers, donations to Peace Arch Hospital emergency department are encouraged, as a thank you to emergency personnel who tried to save Lewis.

Few respondents aware of proposal to increase exports

Coal terminal divide: poll Jeff Nagel Black Press

A new poll of Lower Mainland residents on the issue of increased coal exports has found opinion is nearly evenly split on a proposed new terminal in Surrey.

The survey by Insights West found 32 per cent support the $15-milllion coal-handling facility at Fraser Surrey Docks, 31 per cent oppose it and 36 per cent are undecided.

A large proportion of respondents weren’t familiar with the proposal, which would bring more coal trains through White Rock and South Surrey and send coal-laden barges down the Fraser River to Texada Island, for transfer to ocean-going ships.

Insights West vice-president Mario Canseco said the findings show area residents are of two minds on coal. Seventy-two per cent believe the new Surrey terminal will create jobs and 62

per cent said coal is a significant contributor to the B.C. economy.

But more than two-thirds of residents also see coal dust as an environmental threat. And 55 per cent said they wouldn’t support expanded coal shipments from the region because coal is a major contributor to climate change.

Canseco said Metro Vancouverites’ awareness of the project is low compared to surveys that found large majorities of residents know about proposed oil pipelines.

“At this point, the environmen-

tal concerns from residents are evident but there is also wide agreement on the economic benefits,” Canseco said.

Two-thirds of respondents said coal will be shipped from elsewhere if the terminals aren’t built.

The survey in June of 752 Lower Mainland adults didn’t tackle the two different types of coal handled in the region.

Metallurgical coal, used in steelmaking, has been shipped through Metro Vancouver for decades and comes from B.C. mines.

The Surrey terminal would be built to handle up to eight million tonnes per year of U.S. thermal coal, which is a much bigger source of greenhouse-gas emissions when burned for power.

The regional district has opposed the Fraser Surrey Docks proposal and medical health officers want a health-impact assessment prior to an approval decision by Port Metro Vancouver.

The one-race UBC Grand Prix has a $10,000 cash-prize purse.

The three-race Tour de Delta – which this year garnered an

The winner of the Tour de White Rock’s men’s road race, Zach Bell, received $1,500, while the winner of the women’s

80-km road race, Kathryn Donovan, won $750. The men’s criterium champ, Florenz Knauer, won $750, and women’s winner Devon Gorry pocketed $400.

The men’s winner of the Gastown Grand Prix, meanwhile – American cyclist Ken Hanson – received $15,000, and the top woman, Leah Kirchmann, $8,000.

The total prize purse for BC Superweek is $110,000.

Safety doesn’t take a holiday

S

ummer seems to be the season of senseless – and sometimes tragic – accidents.

A jogger is hit by a train at a busy and well-marked crossing along White Rock’s waterfront. A child falls from a window left open to capture a cooling breeze. A swimmer dives into a shallow pool of water and never resurfaces.

These kinds of tragic fatalities seem to happen year after year, in communities across the province.

And they especially resonate because they often involve people doing activities we’re all pursuing in the halcyon days of summer.

Enjoying the outdoors. Being active. Getting away. Staying cool.

But just because we’re slowing down to enjoy the season doesn’t mean we can let down our guard when it comes to staying safe.

Traffic may be diminished, but it’s still dangerous.

The water at the swimming hole may be inviting and refreshing, but dangers lurk beneath the surface.

Beers on the back deck or at the campsite are just as intoxicating as those consumed in the pub on a Friday night.

Of course, more people are out and about, enjoying the sunshine and warm temperatures, so the odds are higher that accidents are likely to occur.

But the zeal to get out, to maximize our enjoyment of these rare sunny months before the winter rains and chill settle in again sometimes lead to lapses in judgment.

Seemingly inconsequential acts like leaving a window open, rolling through a stop sign, not looking both ways before crossing a street, or ignoring a prominently-placed warning notice can come with huge consequences.

Sometimes even fatal ones.

British Columbians love the outdoors. Partly because there’s so much of it at our doorstep and it’s so beautiful. Partly because we spend so much of the year seeking shelter from it when rain and snow fall from the sky.

But no matter where your summer takes you and your family – whether it’s to the beach or the cabin, to any number of vacation destinations, or even if you’re just relaxing at home, just remember to be careful out there.

don’t need to tell – to have your politics, your faith and your sexuality on display behind what are, for now, closed doors.

Then again, do we really want independent whistleblowers like NSA leaker Snowden, U.S. Army Private Bradley Manning and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to decide our individual and collective fates?

Does it make sense that military secrets are transmitted to the masses, potentially endangering our loved ones? Should all investigative techniques be made public, driving would-be terrorists deeper underground?

In the days since last spring’s Boston Marathon bombing, we’ve heard of at least two planned terror attacks on Canadian soil – and others abroad – that were reportedly thwarted, in part, by surveillance and subterfuge.

In each case, cyberspace teemed with speculation and condemnation from all sides, questioning the veracity of official and unofficial accounts, labelling one another conspiracists and patsies, and accusing each other of groupthink.

Those same texts, tweets and posts are, no doubt, being filed away – along with our phone records – for later analyses, thanks to elected leaders that have lied for a greater good.

The question is clear: Do we trust the anarchists or our governments?

In one of these worlds, people fear misinformation; in the other, they fear too much information.

If you can answer unequivocally and without hesitation, you just might want to keep your thoughts to yourself.

Many gables without green Editor: There are contractors building houses in South Surrey of late who have definitely read Anne of Green Gables one time too many.

Surrey proper is covered with ugly monstrosities of this nature – five to seven gables in the front and I haven’t counted the sides and back.

Big pillars holding up the entrance way with the garage to the side, making it possible to cover the entire front yard with cement.

Unlike our icon from P.E.I., these people do not like grass, trees or bushes to enhance the appearance.

These houses are big enough to house two to three families, and there is no room in the back for lawns and flowers.

What I want to know is who at city hall approves these plans? Our neighbours in White Rock built two houses of comfortable size on lots formerly occupied by small twobedroom houses.

In South Surrey, 18 Avenue is getting covered with these buildings, and our neighbourhood of beautiful front yard lawns and bushes is being totally demolished.

Last time I looked, the average Canadian does not live with his in-laws and does not have four to five children. So why do we have buildings built which would accommodate these parametres?

In this age of climate change, we need all the greenery we can get, and that means having a nice green space around the house. Is that asking too much of city planners?

Edie Williams, Surrey

and farm pesticides because the reservoirs are up in the North Shore mountains. Our pesticides, which are only partly broken down in the soil, run into the ocean – and into the White Rock aquifer.

Since many local politicians want to turn White Rock and South Surrey into Hong Kong – minus the mountains and a railway-free beachfront – there are increasing threats to our water and to the White Rock aquifer. A group of citizens have been lobbying for a complete ban on cosmetic pesticide use, but politicians have been ducking from the issue and ignoring the effect on the aquifer.

In 1957, White Rock broke away from Surrey. What it needs to do now is break away from environmentally insensitive politicians.

Don’t suffer in silence Editor: Re: ER experience a gamble, July 9 letters.

Anyone who had to visit one of the ERs in recent years will have had the same experience as letter-

writer Larry W. Bennett.

Unfortunately Fraser Health – at least in our area – is not addressing this issue seriously or is unable to influence health ministry adequately.

I wonder where Bennett hit ‘the jackpot’ the next morning – he was admitted and had a heart monitor plugged in and a bed within minutes.

For example, the ER attendance to the Delta Hospital has increased during the last year by more than 25 per cent, but the ER doctor coverage has not changed since 2010 – one doctor in the morning and in the evening, supported by one more during the daytime.

Though also other hospitals seem to be in the same situation, the Vancouver Coastal Health and the Vancouver Island Health Authorities seem to be able to “pry” more money, also still insufficient, from the government.

One way of trying to improve the situation is by sending a message to the MLA and the B.C. government and expressing the frustration of this service.

The more citizens write, the better the chances are to get the priorities changed or at least to get attention.

Website www.bcemergencycare.com will assist you in sending this message.

Archaic deal costs city Editor: I’m trying to get information on how the BNSF was able to acquire the land in Canada for their railroad.

Apparently it goes back to 1903, when the contract was struck and, apparently, Canada was very grateful for the train coming up this way.

I’ve seen no mention of what monetary consideration was given for the land, but I assume it wasn’t much. I think, however, this so-called agreement would be null and void by now and due for a revival.

White Rock might be able to gain a little more negotiating power with regard to the coal trains and the problem of pollution.

I also fail to understand why the First Nation has only leased the land to the BNSF, thereby keeping them in their place, and are able to go to the bargaining table when improvements have to be made.

Meanwhile, the City of White Rock is stuck with an archaic contract that holds them hostage and gives them no bargaining power. Why didn’t Canada just lease the land?

Not a solution for city’s water Editor: White Rock will not resolve its drinking-water problems by buying water from the Coquitlam, Seymour, and Capilano reservoir authorities.

Although such water is chlorinated against bacteria and giardia, treated for corrosion, and infused with soda ash and lime to increase its pH level, it is far from pure.

As well, GVRD water has naturally occurring contaminants, including lead, copper, arsenic, asbestos, and radioactive matter. Yet there are no contaminants from household

A traffic-diversion island on a George Street crosswalk does more to divert pedestrians, writes Richard Bradley.

Make it easier for pedestrians Editor: A monolith was installed on George Street several months ago, apparently in an effort to discourage traffic from turning left onto 16 Avenue.

I still see traffic making left turns with little problem.

A greater problem exists for pedestrian traffic crossing George Street at that point, because the crosswalk portion is elevated a couple of inches, making it difficult for the handicapped using canes, walkers or

scooters.

The crosswalk part should be left at street level to overcome the problem, especially during the winter snow and ice periods.

Right-turn-only signs/arrows should take care of the traffic, especially if one is installed in the center of 16 Avenue along with a couple of poles, making a left turn impossible.

Largest seizure of the drug in B.C. since July 2011

Cocaine seized at border A cache of suspected cocaine found hidden in a truckload of food at the Pacific Highway border last month was the largest seizure of the drug in B.C. since July 2011.

Officials announced the June 26 interception last Thursday, saying 56 bricks (62.3 kilograms) of the illicit substance were discovered in five cardboard boxes being shipped from California.

The shipment was apparently destined for Surrey.

Two years ago, 115 kg of cocaine

was seized at the same border.

In the latest incident, the stash was uncovered during a secondary inspection of a northbound truck.

“The driver of the truck was referred to a secondary inspection after failing to satisfy the primary officer about the contents of his load as described in the bill of lading,” Canada Border Services Agency officials stated in a news release.

The drugs and driver – a 31-yearold Canadian resident – were both turned over to the RCMP.

A cache of cocaine was seized.

Surrey man faces U.S. drug charges Sheila Reynolds Black Press

A Surrey man convicted last year of carrying a loaded handgun into a Surrey restaurant is facing multiple money laundering charges in the U.S. involving more than $5 million in drug proceeds.

According to Washington State court documents, Glenn Harley Sheck is charged with one count of conspiracy to engage in money laundering and 20 counts of money laundering.

The indictment lists 20 transactions allegedly made by Sheck between Nov. 28, 2008 and April 30, 2012 – most of them between $200,000 and $500,000 (US) each.

The document claims Sheck made the transactions “knowing that the property involved… represents the proceeds of some form of unlawful activity, and with knowledge that the transactions were designed in whole and in part to conceal and disguise the nature, location, source, ownership and control of the proceeds of specific unlawful activity.”

Five of the counts also name co-defendants: Kevin Yaworski, Kent L. Woolridge and Mohamed I. Vohra, who are also accused of “knowingly and intentionally” conducting financial transactions which involved “the proceeds of a specified unlawful activity,

namely Conspiracy to Distribute Controlled Substances.”

Sheck, now 32, made headlines in B.C. in January – the same month the U.S. indictment was filed – in relation to the Surrey restaurant/gun incident after his lawyers successfully argued that the three-year mandatory sentence for carrying a loaded, restricted firearm is unconstitutional.

In November 2010, police received a tip Sheck was carrying a loaded gun. They followed him into a restaurant in Surrey and found he did have a Glock ninemillimetre semi-automatic handgun loaded with 10 cartridges.

Sheck was convicted in May 2012.

Seal pup rescued in White Rock is recovering Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A harbour seal pup rescued off White Rock beach this month is recovering at the Vancouver Aquarium’s Marine Mammal Rescue Centre.

Dubbed Lynx, the pup was “thin and dehydrated” when picked up, Lindsaye Akhurst, manager of the rescue centre, said Friday.

“He is gaining weight… very active, bright and alert, and seems to be on his way to hopefully recovering.”

Yvonne Dawydiak, with Friends of Semiahmoo Bay Society, said Lynx was rescued July 4 from near the White Rock pier.

He was “in obvious distress, list-

by email.

Akhurst said Kendra Moore, a volunteer with the society’s Beach

Hero program, and Tourism White Rock staff helped facilitate the rescue by guiding the marine team to Lynx and ensuring curious beach visitors kept their distance.

She is hopeful Lynx will be ready to return to his natural environment. Typically, rescued seals stay at the centre for about two months.

Lynx is one of 12 pups currently being cared for at the centre, which takes in up to 150 of the infant mammals every year.

Dawydiak said Lynx’s rescue is an opportunity to remind the public of what to do when they come across a seemingly abandoned seal pup.

Oftentimes, such pups are simply waiting for their mother to return

from foraging and should be left alone. The parent may be gone for as long as 12 hours.

If a pup is spotted on its own for more than 24 hours, or is in obvious distress, citizens are inform to keep their distance and advise centre officials by calling 604-2587325 (SEAL).

“They are wild animals,” Akhurst said.

“They can bite and scratch.”

More information on what to do is also online, at www.vanaqua.org Dawydiak noted that Moore also located a deceased adult harbour seal on the same day, and reported it to Fisheries and Oceans Canada’s marine mammal incident hotline, at 1-800-465-4336.

Gecko Society filling container

Sending aid to orphans in Zimbabwe Members of a nonprofit organization benefiting widows and orphans in Zimbabwe are filling and sending a 40-foot shipping container with muchneeded items to Africa.

The Zimbabwe Gecko Society – founded in 2008 by South Surrey couple Susan and Frank Janetti – aims to have the shipping container arrive in Zimbabwe by mid-January 2014.

The large blue container will be filled with art supplies, baking utensils, clothes, medication and many other desperately needed supplies.

Once emptied, the container will then be converted into a community library.

While most items are readily accepted, furniture and electrical items are not, with the exception of old sewing

machines, as they can be converted into treadle-type machines.

It is requested that items be in new condition, complete and clean.

The Zimbabwe Gecko Society was founded as a response to the “horrendous circumstances facing orphaned children in Zimbabwe” according to the website.

To donate to the container project, contact Susan at zimbabwegecko@gmail. com or by phone at 604-531-3654.

The society will also host a fundraising dinner Oct. 19 at the White Rock Baptist Church.

Pesticides, development to blame

Butterflies disappearing fast

H

ow long is it since you saw a butterfly?

These emblems of summer are fast disappearing from the landscape.

Pesticides have taken their toll and natural food plants are lost when Anne Murray wild habitat is replaced with urban subdivisions.

Creating a butterfly garden will help restore these colourful pollinators to the landscape.

An added bonus is that some of the flowers suited to butterflies also attract hummingbirds.

To bring butterflies to a garden, there must be food plants for the larval, or caterpillar, stage of their life cycle, as well as nectar-rich flowers for the adults.

Caterpillars are voracious but often picky eaters. Spring Azures relish ocean spray and spirea, while Mourning Cloaks need willows.

Planting a patch of stinging nettles in a tub or out of the way corner of the garden could entice Red Admirals and Satyr Commas. Plants of the mustard and cabbage family attract Sara Orange Tip, Cabbage White (the commonest butterfly, yet non-

Anne Murray photo

Butterfly sightings are rarer these days, as habitat is lost. native), and Mustard White.

The caterpillar of our largest, most striking butterfly – the Western Tiger Swallowtail – feeds on poplar and willow leaves.

Apple trees are a food source for the sphinx hawk moth.

Perennial flowering plants that are rich in nectar will provide food for adult butterflies.

Naturescape BC recommends lilac, mock orange, phlox, mallow, pearly everlasting, chrysanthemum, stonecrop, zinnia, asters and herbs, such as mint, rosemary and sage.

The large, purple blossoms of the buddleia bush are a favourite for butterflies and hummingbirds.

Other double-duty options are bee balm, elderberry and columbine.

The life cycle of butterflies is most remarkable, going from egg, to caterpillar, to pupa, before metamorphosing into an adult.

Eggs are often laid under leaves

on the larval food plants, so the caterpillars can start munching as soon as they hatch.

Caterpillars range in colour from pale green to brightly striped, and from smooth to spiky, depending on the species.

Eventually they stop eating and turn into a pupa. This stage can look like a bird dropping, a bit of twig or even a shiny gold nugget.

One morning, the pupa breaks open and a butterfly emerges.

Slowly it spreads its damp and folded wings, drying them in the sun. This is the most amazing sight, seldom witnessed in our modern world. The perfect embodiment of summer then takes flight, bringing colour and beauty to the garden.

Time to get planting; don’t forget the stinging nettles!

A golf tournament in memory of a young Peninsula couple killed last summer in a plane crash will benefit BCIT students who share the pair’s career interests.

Lauren Sewell was in BCIT’s human resources program and Dallas Smith had recently graduated from its millwright program when they died, Sewell’s father Greg said Friday, in explaining the choice of beneficiary.

“BCIT was a natural for us to go to for this cause,” he said.

Sewell, 24, and Smith, 30, were among four people aboard a Piper Twin Commanche Aug. 13 when the plane crashed 30 kilometres west of Kelowna. Smith was pronounced dead at the scene; Sewell succumbed to her injuries in hospital the next day.

Greg Sewell said the golf tournament will take place at Hazelmere Golf Club on Aug. 14, the oneyear anniversary of the day his daughter died.

The event – which includes a silent auction, dinner and prizes – has proven popular. Tickets to the dinner are already sold out;

Lauren Sewell snaps one of the last photos taken of herself and boyfriend Dallas Smith before they died in a plane crash Aug. 13. about 40 spots remain for those wanting to golf.

Sewell said the idea for the tournament grew from fundraising that was done by his daughter’s friends to mark her 25th birthday. They collected money to have a memorial bench installed at Skaha Lake – one of the last places the couple had spent time together – and when all was said and done, there was “a few thousand” dollars left over.

That money was the impetus for establishing the scholarships.

The golf tournament is hoped to generate enough additional funds to create an endowment that will enable the scholarships to be offered in perpetuity.

Silent auction items and sponsorships are still being sought for the tournament. For more information or to sign up to golf, Sewell may be reached at 604541-0588 or gregsewell@shaw.ca

B.C. addicted to smartphones: poll Jeff Nagel Black Press

If you own a smartphone and find it hard to put the device down, you’re not alone.

A poll by Insights West found 64 per cent of B.C. adults own one, they use it an average of 1.7 hours a day and have an average of 27 apps installed on it.

The survey found 18 per cent of B.C. smartphone owners consider themselves strongly addicted to the device – most of those say it’s manageable – and an additional 43 per cent call it “very important” to their lives.

Sixty-two per cent of smartphone owners check it at least hourly and a compulsive six per cent check it more often than every 10 minutes.

Self-described addicts spend an average 2.5 hours a day actively using their phones, the poll found.

Insights West president Steve Mossop said the heavy usage shows how profoundly the devices have transformed daily life and quickly become pervasive.

“Look at kids and how glued they are to their devices and some of us adults as well,” Mossop said.

“It has implications all around, from driving while you’re texting, to social relationships, to impacts on other things you do with your time, like exercise, TV watching and newspaper readership.”

According to the poll, more than

File photo

A poll indicates that B.C. adults have a hard time parting with their phones. three-quarters of smartphone owners said that if they left home for the day without their device they’d return home to retrieve it.

Among young adults age 18-34, the smartphone ownership rate soars to 86 per cent.

Smartphone ownership in B.C. now spans nearly two thirds of the population and has surpassed PVRs (52 per cent own one) and MP3 players (55 per cent), while rapidly closing in on landline telephones (71 per cent.)

And it’s still climbing.

At least a fifth of non-smartphone owners said they intend to get one within the next year. Half of smartphone users have already bought something via the device and more expect to use it for future purchases.

More than a third of those surveyed said it’s important for them to have the latest smartphone.

Surrey Food bank honoured Evan Seal Black Press

For the Surrey Food Bank, the 13th of June proved to be a lucky day, but according to executive director Marilynn Herrmann, it was more hard work than just good fortune.

During the Food Banks Canada’s membership conference awards dinner in Charlottetown P.E.I, the Surrey organization was presented with the inaugural Excellence in Food Banking 2013 Large Size Food Bank award.

“The bottom line,” said Herrmann, her voice bursting with pride, “I think we do one heck of a job here… and most importantly we can only do it because of the community.”

The judging was multifaceted, taking into consideration the operational side, programs and services, numbers of clients, along with how they serve some of the most vulnerable either through their Tiny Bundles program for new mothers or the veggie hampers they make available for those with specific dietary needs.

Awards for small, medium and large food banks were given out during the event, with Surrey being in the largest category.

“One thing I learned from being at this conference is that food bank people are very

Surrey Food Bank’s executive director Marilynn Herrmann. humble across the country,” Herrmann said. “Often people don’t really know what we do.”

The event, she said, was a chance for many of the staff and volunteers to be recognized for their tremendous efforts.

Attracting, retaining and rewarding the more than 1,000 volunteers was also something that gave the Surrey Food Bank a leg up on the competition.

Between 250 and 300 households use the Surrey Food Bank daily which translates into 11,000 people a month.

The numbers show no signs of slowing down.

Herrmann and her staff have identified the most vulnerable clients at the food bank –

children and seniors. Since they already offer the Tiny Bundles program, geared for infants and toddlers, beginning this week, the food bank will be introducing a new program for seniors 65 and over. The service will allow seniors to select items they specifically need, from fresh produce to personalhygiene products, with the aid of a volunteer.

They’ll even receive help carrying their selections to their car if needed.

The program is still in the early stages but it’s one Herrmann feels will be very successful.

The elevation of James Moore to Industry Minister is viewed as a sign Prime Minister Stephen Harper will look to his senior B.C. minister to help convince the province to accept contentious new oil pipelines.

The Conservative MP for Port MoodyWestwood-Port Coquitlam rose from Heritage Minister in a federal cabinet shuffle announced Monday.

SFU political science professor Patrick Smith said he’s not surprised Moore has been promoted, calling him one of the government’s top performers in the House of Commons.

But Smith said the move also strongly suggests Harper and National Resources Minister Joe Oliver – who stays in his post – will press the provincial government to agree to either the Kinder Morgan or Northern Gateway pipeline projects to allow a crucial Pacific outlet for Alberta oil.

“They’re going to want a strong ally in the B.C. minister, which could cause him some of his own difficulties,” Smith said. “British Columbians, as a general rule, are not in favour (of oil pipelines).”

He described the bigger role for Moore as one that brings more opportunities, but also

more risk if Ottawa’s energy development agenda unfolds badly in B.C. B.C. Premier Christy Clark has insisted any new oil pipeline must meet five provincial conditions, including world-class land and marine safety provisions, the addressing of aboriginal issues and a share of benefits for B.C. Smith said Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline twinning is more likely to proceed than Enbridge’s Northern Gateway project, because Trans Mountain is already twinned along a third of the corridor, it faces less First Nations opposition and it uses an established tanker route and an existing land right-of-way.

“I would think if you’re Stephen Harper and Joe Oliver and you’re going to push it, that’s the one you’re going to push.”

Most other B.C. faces in the Harper cabinet are unchanged. The most notable shift was that of Delta-Richmond East MP Kerry-Lynne Findlay from associate minister of national defence to National Revenue Minister.

Abbotsford MP Ed Fast remains International Trade Minister, while Richmond MP Alice Wong stays on as Minister of State for Seniors.

VICTORIA – Energy Minister Bill Bennett says there are about 60,000 BC Hydro customers who are still resisting installation of wireless electricity meters, and he wants the utility to offer them manual meter readings, for a price.

“What we’re contemplating at this point is that maybe we can deliver a digital meter that has the radio turned off,” Bennett told reporters at the B.C. legislature last week. “We just feel that we don’t want to bully people into taking the smart meter if they don’t want it.”

Modifying the meters for different customers and sending out human meter readers would generate costs that should not be borne by the vast majority of customers who accepted wireless meters,

SALE

wireless meters are not a health hazard, but said he doesn’t want them forced on people who believe otherwise.

NDP energy critic John Horgan said he is pleased the government has finally agreed with his position that people should be given another option. But he wants the issue referred to the B.C. Utilities Commission to set the price, so customers aren’t “gouged” to pay for other cost overruns at the utility.

“We said before the election that an optout provision was appropriate,” Horgan said. “It’s done in other jurisdictions.

Quebec is leading the way here in Canada. It’s about time.”

With 96 per cent of wireless meters installed, customers in some areas are receiving daily-usage information on their BC Hydro customer web pages.

Angela Qiu killed outside house party in 2010

Six years in jail for fatal teen stabbing

Sheila Reynolds Black Press

A Surrey woman has been sentenced to a further five years, two months in jail for stabbing a teenage girl to death three years ago.

Katey Renieta Gonzales, now 22, was just 18 when she stabbed 17-year-old Angela Qiu to death outside a Vancouver house party.

Gonzales was originally charged with second-degree murder, but in May, pleaded guilty to the lesser offence of manslaughter.

On July 2, a Vancouver Supreme Court judge sentenced her to six years in jail, minus credit for time she’s already spent in custody.

Qiu was found unconscious, suffering from several stab wounds, on a sidewalk near East 51 Avenue and Knight Street at about 1 a.m. May 21, 2010. At the time, police said a fight had broken out at a party where there were dozens of drunken teens.

Gonzales took off, but turned herself in the next day. She has since apologized to Qiu’s family.

Her lawyer said a victim-impact

statement read in court hit her hard.

“It really gives some background to who the victim is and all of a sudden Ms. Gonzales understood who this person was that she had killed,” said Joseph Saulnier. “She understood there was a family who loved this person and that was really devastating to her.”

During sentencing Gonzales, Justice Carol Ross pointed to the fact the victim was outnumbered and unarmed at the time of the fatal attack.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Colourful farce aided by knockout script and unrestrained performances

Sure-footed cast spoof Sherlock Holmes If you’re allergic to the colour orange, it’s possible you may have a problem with Peninsula Productions’ current summer theatre offering, The Game’s Afoot (Coast Capital Playhouse, until July 28).

An ingeniously designed, well-decorated and constructed set representing the luxurious Connecticut mansion of famed Broadway actor William Gillette has been given an unaccountably garish colour scheme in this production.

Where one might expect one of those ultra-luxurious white-on-white Art Deco/ Moderne fantasias made fashionable by the movies in the 1936 time period of the play, Alex Browne designer Beverly Siver has given us a riot of tangerine and other competing colours.

The palette may be an attempt to evoke Gillette’s eccentricity, but it’s a little distracting, even for me – and I like the colour orange.

Such aesthetic matters to one side, The Game’s Afoot is a thoroughly enjoyable evening of live theatre – and a suitably bravura Canadian debut for this witty play by period-farce expert Ken Ludwig (Lend Me A Tenor, Moon Over Buffalo, Shakespeare in Hollywood).

To a fine, witty script – balancing generous helpings of mysterious chills with verbal and knockabout humour – director Wendy Bollard and a multi-talented cast have brought their A-game.

The consistently professional result even manages to outdo Peninsula Productions’ version of The Mousetrap, a runaway hit for the company last year.

Much of the fun for the audience comes from the satirical barbs Ludwig throws at theatre people as a class. The veteran playwright is more than ready to skewer the egotistical pretensions of actors (an easy target, admittedly) – but also reserves a justifiable measure of vitriol for theatre critics as well (touché!).

The hilarity begins early with the first scene: the conclusion of Gillette’s famed stage depiction of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes. As directed by the alwaysinventive Bollard, and ably played by a quintet of cast members, it successfully lampoons most of the conventions of oldschool stage melodrama in a scant five minutes.

One unexpected plot development later, the audience is transported to Gillette’s home on Christmas Eve.

sight lines

Ben Odberg and David Quast appear in Peninsula Productions’ The Games Afoot.

Gillette (Ben Odberg) has invited the key members of his Sherlock Holmes cast to spend the holiday with himself and his mother, former actress Martha (Val Dearden).

Simon Bright (Everrett Shea) and Aggie Wheeler (Rebekah MacEwan) have only recently become a couple, while Gillette’s oldest buddy, Felix Geisel (David Quast), and his wife Madge (Mahara Sinclaire), are long-married.

Gillette, it transpires, has more than a

seasonal celebration on his mind. Obsessed with the delusion that he has somehow acquired the mythic powers of the detective he has so long portrayed, and eager to solve a real-life mystery surrounding his recent production, he introduces a wild card into the mix – universally-despised theatre critic and columnist Daria Chase (Lori Tych).

Given that the spiteful and all-knowing Chase has a veritable gift for inspiring mayhem, it isn’t too long before one of the intriguing array of weapons that adorn

Gillette’s wall (among the nice properties supplied by Daniel Pelletier) is put to more than decorative use.

It also isn’t too long before Gillette finds himself covering up – rather than detecting – the crime.

Enter a real police detective, the unexpectedly female (“think of me as the wave of the future,” she says) Inspector Goring (Michelle Collier).

In no way reflecting the actual history of Gillette, and only tangentially connected to the immortal Sherlock, Ludwig’s audacious fantasy of dark deeds and comedic desperation gets a bang-up playing by all concerned, and the pace seldom flagged at the gala performance last Friday.

Odberg – always an interesting actor, even when one doesn’t agree with his choices – here reveals a marvelous (and previously untapped) talent for farce. His comedy timing and business is right on the money, and he hurls himself into the absurdity with admirable fearlessness.

Quast, as Gillette’s reluctant foil Felix, matches Odberg in timing and comic inspiration, and also plays well in his scenes with both Sinclaire and Tych. It’s an unrestrained but very sure-footed performance.

Sinclaire provides a very assured and appealing presence as the long-suffering Madge, capturing every nuance of Ludwig’s sharp and sophisticated dialogue.

Tych steals scenes left, right and centre in her pitch-perfect performance as Daria, a role which showcases not only her unfailing grasp of character and deft way with a line, but also a wonderful propensity for physical comedy.

Shea also has a sure touch in playing the endearingly goofy Simon, who may not be quite as guileless as he appears; while McEwen succeeds in suggesting a conflicted soul beneath the typical trappings of the ingénue – and also sings and ukulelestrums to good effect.

Dearden makes a splendidly dotty, directionally-challenged Martha, a role she seems to enjoy just as much as the audience. And Collier has some good moments, particularly when her supposedly vague inspector turns out to be much more on the ball than she seems – although her very English manner sometimes suggests her character has wandered on stage from an Agatha Christie mystery, rather than a police station in rural Connecticut.

Lighting and sound design by Matt Vondette are effective, while some wellchosen incidental music by Samantha Giffin and a voice-over cameo by Michael Roberds are helpful in providing necessary period atmosphere.

SFU students launching creative project

High hopes for Surrey arts Two Simon Fraser University student filmmakers are keen to help the City of Surrey grow its arts industry and hope a project they plan to launch next month – dubbed Creative Surrey – will help residents get involved.

Kashif Pasta, a student in the School of Communication, and Shyam Valera, biology major, are high school friends who grew up in Surrey and started a film production company called Dunya Media. Their goal is to create video stories that “uplift viewers” with positive messages, promote media literacy and showcase Surrey.

The pair attended Surrey’s recent Creative Economy event to hear more about the economic benefits of a broader and more effervescent arts industry, and Surrey’s growing potential as an “edge city.”

“Surrey has a huge potential to be an arts hub, and as students and young people in the creative field we are asking questions like, ‘how can we work to sustain jobs in the arts, draw talent in and also retain what we have here?’” said Pasta.

Their goal with Creative Surrey is to provide a physical space to facilitate connections between businesses, artists, schools and government that would help raise awareness of the potential and resources available in Sur-

HAFI adapts homes for B.C. seniors and people with disabilities

Brenda has always been an active woman. However, recent health issues including osteoarthritis in her left knee and losing kidney function have slowed her down. Her mobility is limited and she is now on dialysis three days a week. To adjust to her changed circumstances, Brenda sought help with her daily living activities.

Part of that help came from the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program offered through BC Housing. Launched in January 2012, the HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.

Brenda applied for a new walk-in bathtub because she couldn’t safely get out of the tub on her own.

Walk-in tubs include additional safety measures such as anti-slip floors, grab bars, and a very low step in.

Brenda is a strong advocate for the program and has even shared HAFI brochures with nurses in the renal unit where she undergoes dialysis.

If you or someone you know is having difficulty performing day-to-day activities safely and independently – the HAFI program may be able to help.

Home adaptations may also include handrails in halls or stairs, ramps for

Since the program began, more than 300 households completed renovations with HAFI financial assistance, making it possible for seniors and people with disabilities to continue to live in the safety and comfort of their home.

Sheila Greentree honoured at Mainstage festival

Fools actress wins big Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

White Rock Players Club’s production of Fools brought home two wins at Theatre BC’s Mainstage festival in Kamloops this month.

Sheila Greentree won best supporting actress for her portrayal of scatterbrain Lenya Zubritsky, mother to Sophia, the love interest Dr. Leon Tolchinsky, who must save the village he lives in from a 200-year-old curse of stupidity and ignorance.

It had been 25 years since the 43-year-old Langley resident performed on stage, but with both her daughters now graduated and heading on their own paths, Greentree decided it was time to pursue her passion.

“Earlier this year I thought that I will just go to an audition,” she told Peace Arch News. “It was immensely fun. I loved (Lenya’s) character and playing the role.

“I just poured myself into the role.”

Greentree credited the warm and welcoming atmosphere created by director Ryan Mooney, her fellow cast mates and crew as what allowed her to lose herself in the role.

“It’s kind of like a family. That’s where I found my confidence to be

Greentree, who said she is still in shock after the best supporting actress win, has also been nominated for a Community Theatre Coalition award for her performance in Fools.

“Those awards are in September and I’m just completely honoured and absolutely flattered,” she said. “It’s crazy.”

Written by Neil Simon, the comedy also took home a Mainstage award for best poster in the non-professional category.

The Players Club won best production at the Greater Vancouver Zone Festival in May, qualifying for the annual provincial festival,

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Storm capture Showcase crown A stingy defensive record helped the Surrey Storm ’97 claim the championship in the Showcase Select tournament, part of the Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship.

The Storm topped the Oregon Riptide 8-1 in Monday afternoon’s championship game, their seventh win in as many round-robin and playoff contests. In those seven games, Surrey allowed just five runs while scoring 56.

After topping their group in round– robin play with a 4-0 (won-lost) record, the Storm topped the Southeast Wolfpack of Saskatchewan 13-0 in a quarterfinal game, then edged the Nanaimo Breakers 2-1.

hen Sara Groenewegen was in elementary school, she spent a week of her summer serving as the bat girl for Team Canada during the Canada Cup. She mingled with the players, sat in the dugout with them – soaked it all in – while all the while hoping she would be in their position one day.

That day has come, as Canada hit the field this week at the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship.

And Groenewegen – a pitcher with the reigning national midget fastpitch champion White Rock Renegades ’95 – is far from alone on Team Canada’s

senior women’s team roster: the team is dotted with local talent, continuing a long tradition of Peninsula players who have worn the Jennifer Yee red and white Maple Leaf jersey at Softball City. It’s a list that includes Auburn Sigurdson, Tamra Howren, Danielle Lawrie and Melanie Matthews.

“It was pretty cool just to be around players like Danielle Lawrie and Jen Salling back then, and just dreaming of being on the team one day,” Groenewegen said Tuesday.

“Now it’s pretty cool being able to say I’m on the team now.

She first suited up with the senior team during last week’s Marina Demore World Cup of Softball in Oklahoma, and said that experience is something she won’t soon forget.

“It’s an amazing feeling – there’s no other feeling like it, to put on that Canadian jersey.”

In addition to 18-year-old Groenewegen – who was added to the senior roster after a strong performance with the

junior national team earlier this summer – Canada’s roster at this week’s tournament also includes White Rock Renegade alums Jocelyn Cater, Larissa Franklin and Sara Hopwood – the latter is currently with the Surrey Storm senior team – and Storm graduates Kelsey Haberl and Marina Demore. Veteran Canadian infielder Jen Yee – also a Storm alum – is expected to join the team this week, but had not arrived in time for Team Canada’s media availability Tuesday morning.

Hopwood, who like Groenewegen is in her first go-round with the senior squad, admitted the fact she is on the top Canadian squad still hasn’t › see page 32

American teams dominated the Futures Select division, with three teams from south of the border advancing to the semifinal round.

Oregon CP Fastpitch won the championship, topping the Spokane Diamonds 8-2 in the championship game.

Spokane was the top-seed for the playoff round, allowing just five runs in six previous games.

Canada opens with a win Team Canada opened the women’s international division tournament in fine fashion Tuesday night at Softball City, defeating the California A’s 5-1.

Saskatoon native Jenny Gilbert drove in three of the host country’s runs, while South Surrey native Sara Groenewegen – in her first month with the senior national team – was credited with the win after pitching three innings of scoreless relief.

Marina Demore started in the pitcher’s circle for Canada, allowing one run in four innings.

Canada opened the scoring in the firs inning when Caitlin Lever hit a triple and came around to score on a single from Gilbert, and the game stayed 1-0 until the fourth, when the A’s tied it after a series of singles and sacrifices.

In the sixth, Canada scored the four runs to restore the lead.

Canada played its second game of the Canadian Open against Australia Tuesday night after press deadline. Today (Thursday), the Canadians take on Japan.

Game time is 6:30 p.m. at Softball City’s diamond 1.

The First Annual TRUE NORTH FRASER BLUEGRASS FESTIVAL

Sea Wolves third at UBC The Pacific Sea Wolves had a big weekend in the pool earlier this month, placing third overall at the UBC AAA long-course (50-m) championships.

Numerous PSW swimmers swam to personal bests in a variety of events, including Alex Blaskovich, 14, who notched nine personal-best times and won three silver medals – in the 400-m and 1,500-m freestyle and 400-m individual medley.

Lydia Doyon, 15, won bronze in the 400-m free and placed top-8 in three other races, and Catherine Grimme won gold in the 100-m and 200-m backstroke, and silver in the 400-m and 800-m free.

Bailey Mothe had nine personal-bests and won the

200-m backstroke and claimed silver in the 100-m backstroke; Esmee Smit-Anseeuw had four PBs, winning gold in the 100- and 200-m butterfly, 100-m breaststroke, and 200- and 400-m IM. Edwin Zhao won gold in the 100- and 200-m back, and silver in the 200-m free.

Others with personal-bests were Ariana Aktary, Adriana Blaskovitch, Olivvya Chow, Megan Clapham, Darian Fry, Kanata Kitegawa, Kota Kitegawa, Isabelle Lei, Emily Liang, Mason Lin, Horace Liu, Tony Ma, Kevin McDonough, Quinton Richert, Marija Robinson, Katrina Shinkaruk, Aksel Smit-Anseeuw, Lauren Stoten and Jill Xu.

‘It’s an awfully big point of pride’ › from page 31 quite sunk in. She joined the team for the World Cup, and played her first game – at second base – during Canada’s opening game against the USA on July 11.

“Oh my God, that was definitely an experience,” she beamed.

“It was just unreal. It’s still kind of setting in that I’m here, on this team. It’s been amazing, and something I’m going to remember forever.”

Now set to make her debut on home soil – Canada opened the women’s international division tourney Tuesday against the California A’s – Hopwood is excited to line up in Canadian colours alongside her fellow Surrey and White Rock teammates.

“I’ve played with all of them, and to be able to share this experience with them, it’s been pretty great,” she said.

While he won’t take much credit for the influx of Surrey and White Rock talent on the national stage, Canadian Open director Greg Timm is rightfully proud the annual tournament has helped spur young players on to greater things.

“It’s an awfully big point of pride for us – the fact that the players here have excelled. It’s one of the big reasons we run this tournament – so we can give the young girls the chance to see these players play,” he said.

The fact so many Renegades and Storm players have come up through the system does nothing but motivate both organizations’ youngest players, Timm said.

“I say to our White Rock Renegades every year, when I speak to the first-year team, ‘I don’t know which one of you it will be yet, but at least one of you will play for Team Canada some day,’” he said.

Fifth on beach

The White Rock beach volleyball duo of Tess Neil and Darby Dunn were nearly as hot as the sand under their feet in California earlier this month.

The pair, who play at the club level for the Sideout Beach Volleyball Club, placed fifth at the US National Beach Volleyball Championships, which were held in Huntington Beach, Calif. Neil and Darby won eight of the 11 matches they played, with one of their three losses coming at the hands of the eventual champions.

Last week, the pair added to their win total, capturing first place in the U16 division of the Vancouver Open.

A pair of South Surrey siblings fared well at Vancouver’s Spanish Banks earlier this month, both winning beach volleyball gold.

Mikayla Wagner, an Elgin Park Secondary student, won gold in the U18 Sand Series 2 tournament along with her partner, Malia Scholz.

Prior to the Sand Series, Wagner won silver in the U17 division of the Volleyball BC High School Open with her teammate Emma Blacklock.

Meanwhile, Mikayla’s younger brother, Christian, has also found himself atop the podium twice in recent weeks, first winning the U14 High School Open alongside partner, Edward Qi, before they added a second gold medal in the U14 boys division of the Sand Series 2.

Provincial gold

Coastal FC has another provincial banner to add to the association’s collection.

The Delta Select Girls (Coastal FC) captured a U18 Metro provincial title earlier this month, defeating the defending provincial champion Coquitlam Metro Ford 2-1 in the championship game.

The win was the team’s first-ever B.C. title and the first time in five years the Delta/

Living the bright life at Imani Development’s Shine The sun is shining on Vancouver’s South Main neighbourhood with Shine, the newest condominium development from Imani Development.

Featuring a range of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom floorplans ranging from around 500 to over 1,300 square feet, the 90 homes are exclusive and luxurious, with amazing views overlooking False Creek, downtown Vancouver and the North Shore mountains. The homes are situated on a quiet residential street, so you’re away from the noise and bustle of Main Street.

The contemporary kitchens feature high-gloss white upper cabinets with wood grain or high-gloss white lower cabinets, complemented by a quartz stone countertop, ceramic tile backsplash and stainless-steel appliances. Wide-plank birch laminate flooring is included throughout the main living areas, with carpeting in the bedrooms.

The bathrooms could be featured in a spa, with their deep soaker tubs, ceramic tile bathtub and shower surround and modern white or wood-grain cabinetry.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Buyers are able to choose between two designer colour schemes, and each suite includes a laundry area with a washer and dryer, for an extra little bit of convenience.

The South Main neighourhood has been growing rapidly over the past few years, and Shine is perfectly situated to take advantage of all the amenities the area has to offer. You will be within walking distance of schools, shopping, dining and transit, as well as leisure and recreation opportunities.

Vancouver’s Olympic Village and the SeaWall are nearby, making it easy to get a bit of outdoor exercise if you’re in the mood. There are also several yoga studios and parks, along with two community centres within easy reach.

You’ll also find a large outdoor courtyard with a seating lounge, fire pit, barbecue area and portable outdoor movie screen on the property itself, as well as a rooftop deck with gorgeous city views, and an expansive lobby.

For more information, visit www.liveatshine.com, call 604-874-7478 or visit the sales centre at 2152 Main Street, open daily except Friday between noon and 5 p.m., or by appointment.

The homes at G3 include stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops and spacious open floorplans. The project will encompass three buildings, with all construction expected to be completed by next summer. Residents will also have access to a residents lounge with a gym, fireside lounge and a guest suite, among other amenities.

Affordable lifestyle living in Guildford

By Kerry Vital

Surrey’s Guildford neighbourhood is quickly becoming a vibrant place to live, work and play. Now, G3 Developments is adding to the excitement with G3.

With three buildings and 155 condominium suites in a range of studio,

one-bedroom, one-bedroom-and-den and two-bedroom floorplans, three is definitely a lucky number for G3, located just steps away from anything you could possibly need.

“You can walk to everything,” says sales manager Margaret Bird. “There’s easy access” to the rest of the Lower Mainland via the Port Mann Bridge, along with the convenience of living near Guildford Town Centre and the Guildford Recreation Centre and Library.

You’re also within walking distance of parks, schools, shopping and restaurants, and just minutes away from Surrey City Centre by car.

The homes at G3 are spacious and modern, with stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms and a convenient eating bar perfect for a quick bite in the morning or as a place to gather while entertaining. The ceiling mount

track lighting and pendant lights in the kitchen easily illuminate your tasks.

The bathrooms feature a quartz backsplash to complement the countertops, as well as wall mount vanity lights, soaker bathtubs and semi-frameless glass shower stalls and a sleek undermount sink.

Buyers can choose between two designer colour schemes, Sterling and Onyx. The homes include nine-foot ceilings (higher on the top floors), laminate hardwood flooring in the main living areas and lush carpeting in the bedrooms, along with a stacking front-load washer and dryer and storage and parking for every home.

Residents will also have access to the G3 residents lounge, which will include a gym, fireside lounge and a guest suite, among other things.

The biggest draw for buyers so far has been the value they get for their money.

“These price points are attractive,” Bird says, adding that first-time buyers have been particularly interested. She has also seen longtime area residents looking at the homes as part of their downsizing plans.

“They want to live near their kids, but not actually with them,” she says.

The first phase, called Premiere, has been selling well and Bird notes that buyers there will be able to move into their new home in March 2014. The second and third phases, Encore and Finale respectively, will be completely finished by next summer.

Homes at G3 start at $139,900 for a studio, $169,900 for a one-bedroom and $219,900 for a two-bedroom. For more information, go to g3living.ca, call 604-588-8238 or visit the showroom at 10439 154th Street, Surrey, open every day except Friday between noon and 5 p.m.
