16% increase boosts 2013 expenses to $760 million
City of Surrey costs rise $100 million Kevin Diakiw Black Press
It cost $100 million more to run the City of Surrey last year, compared to 2012, according to recently released financial figures. The 2013 Statement of Financial Information details how much money was received by the city and where it was spent. In total, Surrey spent $760 million last year, a 16-per-cent jump from the year prior,
which totalled $655 million. Of those total expenses, $601 million went to third-party suppliers, a jump of almost $100 million from the year prior. (That year represented a $50-million increase from 2011). The increase in third-party suppliers is mostly due to an extremely aggressive “Build Surrey” program that includes a $100 million city hall, recreation centres and pools. The city also spent $161 million in staff
salaries, expenses and benefits, up $8 million from 2012. Staff costs increased as part of a collective agreement, recently reached with CUPE members, which included a sizeable retroactive payment. The big earners with the city were former city manager Murray Dinwoodie who, with salary, benefits and expenses, earned $395,412 in 2013. He was followed at a distant second by general manager of finance
Vivienne Wilke at $259,188, then manager of parks Laurie Cavan ($253,096), former general manager of engineering Vincent LaLonde ($249,477), fire chief Len Garis ($238,823) and general manager of planning and development Jean LaMontagne ($235,001). Last year, city council members cost the city $805,000, a marginal increase from the year prior ($798,000).
Stolen gear replaced
Outpouring of support for national athlete Alex Browne Staff Reporter
Leslie Stoneham said she isn’t surprised by White Rock and South Surrey’s reaction to her daughter Keirra’s plight – just “in awe” of it. Two weeks ago, someone stole the Special Olympian’s customized bowling gear – past Christmas and birthday presents – from the family’s White Rock carport. The theft threatened to spoil the game of Keirra, 26, who was all set to compete in 10-pin bowling for Team B.C. in this month’s Keirra Stoneham Special Olym- Special Olympian pics Canada 2014 Summer Games in Vancouver – an honour she’d qualified for by earning gold at last year’s provincials. Leslie said the loss of two customized bowling balls, a tote bag and shoes had begun to sink in with Keirra, who receives programs and support for developmental difficulties from Semiahmoo House. i see page 2

All of that changed June 28, following a lemonade-stand fundraiser outside Thrifty Foods in Morgan Crossing, organized by family friend David Thiele. Contributions from local businesses, friends and complete strangers raised more than $900 – more than enough to replace all of the gear stolen, including a new tote bag identical to the one stolen and new personalized shoes even better than Kierra’s original ones. “The rest of the money will be donated by Keirra to Special Olympics BC to help other athletes compete in future,” Thiele said. Among major contributors were Sandcastle Lanes, which donated two brand new bowling balls, specially drilled to match Keirra’s grip; Thrifty Foods, which donated the tent and lemonade for the event; and Morgan Crossing, which donated the space – but many more made a difference by pitching in, Leslie said.

She’s well taken care of – she’s pretty loved.” Ever since the story appeared in the Peace Arch News on June 26 the reaction was “absolutely huge,” Leslie said, adding that Keirra also received immense support through Facebook postings. “There are more good people out there than bad people,” she said. “The outpouring of love and concern was just overwhelming.”

50 pupils meet ‘extremely narrow definition’ for essential service during teachers strike
Summer school axed for 10,950 students Sheila Reynolds Black Press
Surrey will offer summer school during the ongoing labour dispute between government and teachers, but only to about 50 students who fit the “extremely narrow definition” of what the Labour Relations Board (LRB) has deemed “essential.” In a letter to parents Thursday, Surrey Supt. Jordan Tinney said the district had delayed its decision on summer school “in order to consider all relevant information.” Surrey normally offers an array of summer programs in July and August for all ages and learning needs, including accelerated,
remedial and trades and technical courses. This year, 11,000 students in kindergarten to Grade 12 were registered. On June 27, following a request from the provincial government, the LRB ruled that only some aspects of summer school are considered an essential service. The definition was narrowed to students in Grades 10-12 who have failed a course and who have “no choice but to repeat the course” in 2014 summer school and who cannot take the course during the following school year. For Surrey, that left fewer than 50 students of the thousands who had registered.
Tinney said the district has contacted the eligible students directly and will offer programs to them, with principals and viceprincipals providing instruction at a location to be determined. While teachers may still be striking at some school sites, the LRB order stated that students have unrestricted access to courses required for graduation. “We regret that we cannot offer our full range of summer learning programs,” wrote Tinney, “but the fact remains that the teacher strike continues to limit our ability to provide a full range of services at this time.” He added he hoped there would be a reso-
lution to the labour dispute at the bargaining table. On Wednesday, a second potential mediator, Justice Stephen Kelleher, declined getting involved, saying the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and B.C. government are too far apart on wages and working conditions for mediation to be effective. Last month, longtime mediator Vince Ready said he did not have time in his schedule to mediate the dispute. Delta, Vancouver, Burnaby, Langley, North Vancouver, Maple Ridge, Abbotsford and Chilliwack have cancelled summer learning programs.
Murder charge
Arrest in Cloverdale homicide Dan Ferguson Black Press
A Langley man wanted in connection with a Cloverdale murder was captured in his hometown Friday night, police said. Barry McQuarrie was arrested inside a residential garage without incident shortly before midnight by officers of the regional Integrated Homicide Investigation Team along with Langley RCMP, the Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team, RCMP helicopter Air One and a police dog team. Police said the owners of the house were not connected to McQuarrie. IHIT said following his arrest, the 33-year-old McQuarrie was charged with first-degree murder in the Barry McQuarrie death of Gregcharged ory Quesnelle, 32, originally from southern Ontario. On May 12, just before midnight, RCMP responded to a report of a man being shot at a home near 176 Street and 57 Avenue. Quesnelle was found injured in the townhome and was taken to hospital, where he died of his wounds. Shortly after police identified McQuarrie as a suspect, a man called CTV News claiming to be McQuarrie. The caller denied killing Quesnelle, but said that they were at odds over a woman and he had pepper-sprayed his rival in self-defence days before the murder. “I didn’t go back and kill him,” the man said. “I just want (police) to know I’m not armed and dangerous. I’m not trying to hurt anyone. I’m just trying to stay out of jail.” The caller said he planned on keeping his freedom as long as possible. “I want to enjoy as much of the summer as I possibly can,” the man said. “When the time comes after the summer, maybe I’ll hand myself in. Maybe.”

Doug McCallum – critical of spending – officially announces his bid for mayor in a news conference outside the former city hall Monday morning.
McCallum launches campaign, saying he would disband Surrey City Development Corp.
Ex-mayor calls for simpler government Kevin Diakiw Black Press
Standing in a pastoral area at Surrey’s old city hall, former mayor Doug McCallum made it official Monday morning, telling a crowd he was coming back for the city’s top job. “I’m proud to put my name forward for mayor,” McCallum told about 30 people at Monday’s news gathering. His campaign is going to have four priorities, he said. They will include crime, transportation, spending at city hall and the introduction of a ward system. McCallum is one of three council veterans so far looking to replace outgoing Mayor Dianne Watts for the next four years, joining Couns. Linda Hepner (Surrey First) and Barinder Rasode (independent). McCallum said homicides increased by 127 per cent between 2012 and 2013. “We need a new approach to fighting crime,” McCallum said, adding it would be a “proactive” approach, where police would attack crime before it happens. It would involve more foot patrols, bike patrols and motorcycle patrols. The 95 officers being promised by the current council over the next five years should be

Eagle rescue Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter
An effort to rescue an injured eagle drew a small crowd to the Marine Drive hump in White Rock Thursday afternoon. Members of the Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society (OWL) were searching the brush just south of Marine Drive, near Centre Street, for an eagle that neighbours said had appeared earlier to be in some distress. A nearby tree houses a large eagle nest that – according to onlookers who live in the neighbourhood – was the site of an altercation between two of the large birds a day earlier. On Wednesday afternoon, one neighbour said, two eagles could be seen fighting near the nest. Eventually, the two birds – which talons interlocked – tumbled down the length of the tree and crashed into the brush below. One bird – with missing feathers and an apparent injury to its wing – returned to the top of tree after the fall, but one did not, he said. It wasn’t until late Thursday morning that other passersby noticed the second eagle, injured, at the foot of a nearby tree. Attempts to help the bird caused it to scurry away further down the slope and deeper into the bushes. By mid-afternoon Thursday, however, the

T
he prime minister chose an odd day for four federal byelections – Monday, June 30. Voting day came in the midst of what was, for many people, a four-day long weekend. It also occurred on the eve of Canada Day. Two of the byelections were in the Toronto area, and two were in Alberta. Turnout in all four was very low, much lower than in a federal election. One race in Alberta attracted just a 15 per cent turnout – lower than in Surrey and White Rock municipal elections. The highest turnout, about 33 per cent, was in downtown Toronto’s Trinity-Spadina byelection, where Liberal Adam Vaughan handily won the seat that had been held by Olivia Chow of the NDP, widow of the late Jack Layton. Chow is running for mayor of Toronto. A better turnout there isn’t surprising. The seat was competitive and is considered a bellwether for the Liberals in urban Ontario. Justin Trudeau’s leadership of the federal Liberals clearly resonates with the downtown Toronto mood. One should not read too much into the byelection results, considering the low voter turnout. However, the Liberals fared very well, winning the two Toronto seats comfortably and placing second in the two Alberta races behind the Conservatives. Trudeau’s leadership has clearly helped keep Liberal supporters within the fold, and the party should do well in Ontario in the next federal election. That province may in fact be its strongest area of support, given that the provincial Liberals, who are much more closely allied to their federal namesakes in Ontario than in B.C., recently won a majority government there. The Liberals were to pick their candidate in the new federal riding of Cloverdale-Langley City last Thursday, and given that they will be the first on the ground with a nominated candidate, that should help them here as well. It will be a tough row to hoe though, given the strong traditional support in both Langley and Cloverdale for the federal Conservatives. That party has not yet set a nomination meeting date, but there are five candidates seeking the nomination, so it will be a closely watched event. The Conservatives have a good chance to retain government in the October 2015 federal election – if the Liberal and NDP vote remains split. The NDP should do well in Quebec, but their ability to retain status as the official opposition may be in question, given that the Liberals seem to be building a significant amount of momentum.

where individually owned property isn’t permitted. The Tsilhqot’in dropped claims of property held by non-aboriginal residents from their appeal to the highest court, a wise move considering that pushing people from their homes would lead to violent confrontations. Other referendum questions related to preserving public access to Crown land for hunting, fishing and park use. All were endorsed. The only new question asked if aboriginal self-government “should have the characteristics of local government, with powers delegated from Canada and British Columbia.” Arguably, that’s what has emerged from the Tsilhqot’in case, which upholds provincial jurisdiction over public forest policy on environmental and fire protection on aboriginal title lands. By 2009, frustrated with a lack of progress, due to Ottawa’s inaction as well as inconsistent leadership from aboriginal communities, the Campbell government tried to cut the knot. Its proposed Recognition Act would have accepted a form of aboriginal title across the province. That idea originated not with the province but with the First Nations Leadership Council. It was rejected by a broader group of aboriginal leaders. The best way forward, also endorsed in the 2002 referendum, is sharing land use planning. B.C. has also begun sharing resource revenues.

Faith in people restored Editor: I’d had a bad month. Long story short – eye surgery, complications and lots of pain and discomfort. I was feeling very low, dashed across the border to get gas, and inadvertently dropped my wallet after running in for a few groceries. My wallet contained about $200 US but, the awful thing, also my passport. I discovered this as I was getting ready to cross the border. I dashed back to the store… no wallet turned in. I was near tears, walking back to my car, not sure what to do. Just then, a clerk ran out calling for me, accompanied by a young man. “Are you Carole?” he asked. He had found my wallet in the shopping cart and had gone in to tell them he was going to drop it off at Canada Customs at the border. Oh my God, I fell into that man’s arms and hugged him good and hard. We went back to his car and his wife came out with my wallet, everything intact. I hugged his wife! Not only were they honest, but they were extremely kind, helping to calm me down before I drove home. What an example these lovely people were to their children. I was so upset I didn’t even get their names. The next morning, having got a little perspective, I realize it wasn’t the end of the world, but I’d felt so awful and was at the end of my tether. These lovely people just restored my faith in people and the importance of being kind and honest in your own little corner of the world, in order to make the whole world a little better. I hope you are reading this, because I feel a whole lot better today because of you. Carole Martin, Surrey
We need more accountability Editor: I was at the library and noticed the City of White Rock is spending money on a new roof – a cost to municipal taxpayers that is unwarranted, especially after the recent job action we’ve endured. How do you think we feel when we see things like this? Many of us are bothered and say nothing. I am not one of those people. Another example of what irks me about the way this little town is run is the garbage and recycling situation. During the strike, we all had a pileup of trash to kingdom come. Or, we threw it in the back of our pickups and took it to a community dumpster nearby when we couldn’t stand it any longer. Any idea how bad garbage stinks after a week? What about two? Why don’t they pick up the garbage every week like they used to, and recycling every other week if they want to cut costs? And what’s with these new red bins we can’t afford? BNSF and the other rail companies need to ease off the horn. And a discussion needs to take place about
issues of the railway along the beach – including arms that come down to stop foot traffic at the pier. I watched several people almost get killed trying to cross last minute before a train came yesterday. A bylaw needs to be instituted to fine people who don’t participate in the voting process, because otherwise this is what happens. And we need to vote on the issues at hand, not delegates to represent us – who many times now have made foolish, single-minded or absentminded decisions with our money. I hope this letter will help speed things along and make people more accountable from here on in. Stephen Boychuk, White Rock
Inclusivity has a cost Editor: Some of the issues at the heart of the teachers’ strike are similar to the problems faced by the police and the general public in dealing with people with mental-health issues. Years ago, people with mentalhealth issues were cared for in specialized institutions, such as hospitals and group homes. Government policies then dictated the closure of these facilities and the dispersion of those in care into

Not everyone understands the dangers of train tracks, writes Larry Lerner.
Little room for debate Editor: With all the recent publicity about the concerns and danger of walking on the tracks at White Rock Beach, some people still don’t get it. These kids in the photograph (above) were just an example of the lack of concern over the issue. Most of the people I speak to regarding this issue understand the reasons for staying off the tracks and will listen and comply. The boys in this picture thought it was a joke and laughed at me. I hope their parents have a sit down with them and try to make them understand. Larry Lerner, White Rock Q This evening my husband and I had dinner with friends at the WAG, fortunate to have a table with a great view of the water – and the train track. Even saw a small Amtrak train chugging by. Idyllic setting for a nice evening. Unfortunately, the view included several sets of parents with their
children, strolling along the tracks. There probably wasn’t another train in sight, but what is it that these parents do not understand about ‘do not walk on the tracks’? The sense of entitlement will not save these scofflaws from possible disaster. Forgive me for lack of compassion when that disaster strikes. Katherine Booth, Surrey Q I’ve been reading the various articles and letters regarding pedestrian safety with the train tracks in White Rock. Wow, the emotion behind this topic is over the top. We all know the train tracks will never move. Therefore, fencing is required to protect the people unable to protect themselves. For beach access, build a number of pedestrian overpasses. This simple solution would end the emotional debate and protect the people. Charlie Vanditmars, Surrey
the general community. Although promises were made to provide the resources needed for their successful integration into community life, those promises were never kept. As a result, many have fallen through the holes in our social safety net, and have ended up living on the streets. Police officers are now required to be social workers. The financial and social costs associated with homelessness, addictions, prostitution and crime are huge. In a similar way, years ago students with special needs were taught in specialized schools or classes. Once again, government policy dictated the closure of these facilities and the dispersal of special-needs students into regular school classrooms. Although promises were made to provide the resources needed for their safe and successful integration into the general school population, those promises have not been kept. When teachers today talk about class size and composition, they are talking about the problems caused by the failure to support a policy of inclusion with adequate resources. Guidelines from the Ministry of Education state there shouldn’t be more than three special-needs students in a class unless the teacher has been consulted. As almost any teacher or student will tell you, the behaviour of only one student who needs, but does not get, adequate support can disrupt an entire class. Morally speaking, inclusion is the right thing to do, but like many morally right things, it comes with a cost. Improperly implemented and inadequately supported, it is an economic and social disaster that creates problems far more costly to fix than prevent. Just ask the police on the Downtown Eastside. Donald Fleming, White Rock
Responsibility spirited away Editor: Re: A brief foray into petty thievery, June 26. Peninsula Zoomers columnist April Lewis writes about her quandary regarding the colour and purchase of toilet paper for her rental accommodation in France. After running out of the toilet paper supplied for her use by the apartment owners, she now had a quandary; should she replace the toilet paper or, in her words, should she buy two more bottles of wine? In such a quandary, tourists with integrity would naturally purchase and replace the toilet paper. But not Lewis. No, she forayed into petty thievery. At every restaurant and elegant hotel she visited she pilfered toilet paper for her own personal use. So now, to justify this, she claims the stolen toilet paper was in turn stolen from her by some poor waif who has been dead for 400 years. But let’s be realistic. No one returned from some bygone day to steal the already-stolen toilet paper. No, Ms. Lewis. The only thief in this article is an affluent Canadian tourist who happens to be the local communications director for CARP. Such a pity. Ian Routledge, White Rock

Jolaine Wiens and hundreds of other cyclists took part in the 400-km ride Ride2Survive from West Kelowna to Delta last month. Below, Weins, with supporters after the ride.
White Rock’s Jolaine Wiens completes 400-km Ride2Survive
‘We’re capable of more than we think’ Sarah Massah
W
Staff Reporter
eeks after pedaling 400 kilometres from West Kelowna to Delta, White Rock’s Jolaine Wiens was still feeling the after-effects – physically and emotionally. The 45-year-old woman, who was confined to her bed two years ago for four months due to an auto-immune disorder called Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS), had trained for months in order to participate in the Ride2Survive June 21. Speaking to the Peace Arch News days before the ride, Wiens was unsure if she would be able to make the entire 19-hour ride, but with help from her team and a photo of her niece with her father – a cancer survivor – taped to her bike, she found the encouragement she needed. “I had the photo there for motivation,” she told PAN on Thursday. “I still can’t
believe I actually did it. I thought I would only get to Hope, but at every stop, I felt good and decided to keep going.
“My teammates were so awesome, we were all taking care of each other, pushing each other and making the call when we needed to rest.” For Wiens, completing the lengthy trip was a personal victory after dealing with her rare disorder, which targets the joints in the spine, causing pain, stiffness and inflammation. However, it’s not without its consequences. Wiens is currently back on crutches due to the pain. “It’s been hard. You go from the highest highs to this. But I knew I was taking that chance. I have an unhappy body, but I have a happy heart,” she said. Dozens of cyclists – including seven riders from White Rock – helped raise $550,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society, surpassing their goal of $500,000. “I’m so happy to be part of an organization where 100 per cent of the
funds goes to our cause and none goes to administrative costs, which is very rare,” Wiens said. “It’s a lot of volunteers and a lot of people giving their time and money, so it’s pretty amazing.” Despite the pain she feels physically, Wiens said she regrets nothing about her ride and plans to contribute in some way for next year’s fundraiser. “I can’t imagine not seeing my team and the idea of not doing it next year would make me feel like I’m missing out,” she said, noting that she may take on the important role of volunteer and cheerleader in 2015. “I just want to be a part of that energy. “We’re all capable of much more than we think with a little help from our friends.” To read Wiens’ blog post on the ride, visit www.ride2survive.ca/blog-list/565-its-overnot-really

Brain atrophy takes place when the connections between cells in the brain are damaged, or the cells in general are lost. This condition can be caused by a number of issues including natural aging. Symptoms of brain atrophy may include memory loss, lack of motor skills, reduced reading skill and difficulty with speech. A recent study from Johns Hopkins University and the National Institute on Aging found individuals with untreated hearing loss who underwent annual MRI’s, over a 10 year period, showed an average 1 cubic centimeter of brain tissue loss per year. More importantly, there was significant atrophy in the brain structures responsible for processing sound and speech. Naturally, the brain becomes smaller with age however untreated hearing loss may accelerate brain shrinkage. While changes in brain structure are expected with aging, areas responsible for hearing and speech perception are not isolated. Closely related areas help with memory and sensory integration and have been shown to be involved in the early stages of mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease. Frank Lin M.D. Ph.D. and head of the study emphasized the urgency of

The White Rock Renegades senior team will square off against tough international competition at the Canadian Open later this month.
White Rock Renegades senior team preps for Canadian Open
International challenge awaits Nick Greenizan
A
Sports Reporter
year ago, the White Rock Renegades senior team won the women’s elite division at the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship. But rather than defend their title this time around, they’ll face a much tougher task when the tournament begins July 15 – playing national teams from across the globe. This year’s Canadian Open does not have an elite division – which in the past featured club teams from across North America – so the Renegades senior squad and other club teams have been thrown into the deep end alongside national powerhouses such as the United States, Japan, Canada and others. “There are a few nerves, because it’s probably going to be tough competition,” said Renegades catcher Courtney Gill, a six-year
member of the senior team. “All of us have experience at different levels, at university, or at nationals – things that are comparable – but this will be at a whole different level.” At the Open, the Renegades senior team – originally created to give the program’s 19-year-old-plus players a team to play for between college seasons – will square off on the diamond against Mexico, Japan, the United States and Canada. When the over-19 team was created, they stayed busy throughout the spring and summer, frequently winning provincials – they won three in a row at one point – as well as national titles, the last of which came in 2011. Now, however, with players having more commitments – be they school, work or coaching – the team convenes in June, and plays just two tournaments, the Canadian
Open and the Kassandra Kaulius Memorial tournament, which they won last month. “We are fortunate that we’re still able to play and stay active,” said Gill, who played four years at the University of Detroit and now coaches the Renegades’ U18 team in addition to continuing to play at the senior level. And though this year’s team has only been together a few weeks, Gill said they were excited for the challenge the Canadian Open’s international division provides. “To get to play in front of a local crowd, against teams like this, it’s going to be great,” she said. “It never gets old – not ever,” added teammate Cass Dypchey, who has played in every age division of the Open through the years. The Canadian Open begins July 11 and runs until July 21. For more information, visit www.canadianopenfastpitch.com

Two rising South Surrey cricketers were part of the team representing B.C. in U17 Canada Cup play last week in Toronto. The India-born Bhagat brothers – Dhruv, 16, and Kartik, 14 – moved to Ocean Park from New Delhi, with dad Ashish and mom Bhavna, just over a year ago. But even in that short period of time, the talented Elgin Park Secondary students have made their mark with the West Vancouver Cricket Club, Dhruv even receiving the club trophy for most improved player last year. Travelling to the North Shore every week for Dhruv Bhagat practices may seem intense, but not when one considers that when the cricket-oriented family emigrated to Canada, proximity to the West Vancouver Club – one of the most active in Western Canada – was a major factor in settling on the West Coast. Kartik Bhagat “Every time we searched the Internet for cricket in Canada, Vancouver would come up,” said Dhruv, an all-rounder who combines skills at bat with off-spin bowling. He admits he’s been obsessed with the game since he was four. “As soon as I started walking I was playing cricket,” he says. “In India, it’s like ice hockey is here – everybody knows how to play it. All the kids are playing and practising six hours a day. “It’s in our blood, basically. You develop an interest in it early. It connects with us, and it’s also a good team sport that involves a lot of kids – you need 22 people to play it properly.” i see page 16

Cricket is ‘in our blood, basically’ i from page 15 Dhruv also admits he was a strong influence on Kartik to get involved – and encouraging his more lightly-built sibling to specialize in fast-bowling, which requires a sprint to establish momentum before releasing the ball. “When I was about five or six he’d take me along with him and his friends whenever he played,” Kartik said. While both brothers admit Ontario is the country’s centre for cricket – the province entered two teams into the tournament, which wrapped up July 4 – B.C. and Alberta each fielded a team, and there was a combined Manitoba/Saskatchewan team as well. Those raised in the game know that it includes a number of imponderables, including style and condition of the pitch (or playing field) and performance on the day, which can sometimes outweigh skill and experience. “Cricket is a funny game,” Dhruv said. “Anyone can win.” Playing at London’s Lord’s Cricket Ground, the official home of cricket, would be an ultimate dream, Dhruv said, acknowledging the sport’s decidedly British roots. But it’s no secret that the passion for the game in former colonies – including India, Australia and the West Indies – has long eclipsed Britain’s pre-

eminence in the sport. Both Bhagat brothers trained for years at a prestigious cricket academy in New Delhi established by famed Indian cricketer Vijay Mehra. And since connecting with the West Vancouver club they have appreciated the mentoring of president Alex Turko, also B.C. Mainland Cricket president, as well as the opportunity to learn from visiting coaches from as far afield as Sri Lanka. The cricket scene on the west coast is far busier than some might suppose, with eight divisions in the B.C. league alone. Chances are the Bhagat brothers will continue to play cricket for a while yet before entering postsecondary studies. Kartik, who has just finished Grade 10, said he has plans to study architecture, while Dhruv, who will enter Grade 12 in the fall, said he might put postsecondary on hold temporarily. “I’m going to continue cricket for as long as possible,” said Dhruv. “If I perform well, I might drop a year of studies and become a cricket player.”
