MEDIAN ON THE WAY FOR DEADLY STRETCH OF HIGHWAY 10

Cody Kehler and Chantal MacLean

▶ CONSTRUCTION OF BARRIER COMES NINE MONTHS AFTER TWO 17-YEAR-OLDS WERE KILLED IN CRASH KEVIN DIAKIW

The family of a teen killed in a horrific crash last year is happy the province is finally building a median on a deadly stretch of Highway 10.

But they wonder, if authorities had acted sooner, whether their son and his friend would still be alive.

Lisa Kehler said Tuesday she’s extremely pleased the province is constructing a median barrier along 600 metres of Highway 10, between Scott Road and Highway 91.

Construction of a median along Highway 10 between Scott Road and Highway 91 is set to begin at the end of July. Drivers are advised to expect delays until the $2.15-million project is completed sometime this fall. The corridor carries 30,000 vehicles a day. BOAZ JOSEPH

SURREY LOSES OFFICE THAT HANDLES PUBLIC COMPLAINTS AGAINST RCMP ▶ CRITIC SLAMS ‘BAD’ DECISION THAT WILL CENTRALIZE SERVICE IN OTTAWA

JEFF NAGEL

The independent agency that investigates complaints against the RCMP is closing its B.C. intake office in Surrey in order to cut costs and centralize staff in Ottawa.

The move by the Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the RCMP has sparked criticism that police

oversight could falter.

“B.C. was not consulted on this decision,” B.C. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said in a statement. “We’ll be watching to ensure there is no reduction in service, as we are the largest RCMP jurisdiction and we expect the commission and the federal government to be accountable to British Columbians.”

The RCMP’s E Division has 7,100 officers policing B.C. That’s 37 per cent of all RCMP officers nation-wide and more than are deployed in any other province.

About 3,600 inquiries or formal complaints are lodged

The office in Surrey will close by the end of the year and money saved will fund more investigations, officials say.

“We’re trying to redirect some of our resources to make sure they’re properly used to address the concerns Canadians have,” commission spokesperson Kate McDerby said.

The new agency took over from the former Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP in late 2014, with an expanded mandate. continued on page 4

Region’s water use now below target

A holly, jolly birthday

▼ BUT RESERVOIRS STILL VERY LOW; STAGE 3 LIMITS ARE HERE TO STAY

▼ A FAN’S FACEBOOK CAMPAIGN GOES VIRAL FOR SURREY’S PERCY HAYES, THE ‘REAL’ SANTA CLAUS

BOAZ JOSEPH

Shawn Slavin was visiting his great aunt last Tuesday at a seniors’ care home in White Rock when he discovered something that prompted a flood of childhood memories.

Santa lives at 1550 Oxford St. This is Percy Hayes, the man Slavin knew as the jolly old elf from Guildford Town Centre, and the man whose lap Slavin and his two brothers sat on each Christmas from the age of four to 11.

The 27-year-old Victoria man quickly posted a message on Facebook asking for people to send their best wishes to Hayes, who was about to celebrate his 84th birthday on Wednesday the following week (July 29).

“He was (and still is) the REAL Santa Claus,” Slavin wrote.

Within eight days of the online posting – on Hayes’ birthday – Slavin was at

Santa’s side at the care home, along with a basket full of birthday cards – 141 so far – that were mailed from as far away as England.

As visitors paid their respects, Santa wore his trusty hat and jingled his bells.

“Wonderful people, they’re all wonderful,” said Hayes.

Darlene Gaunt said her father still has his Santa suit and boots, which he used for 12 years at Guildford Town Centre, two years at Metrotown, one year at the downtown Vancouver Sears and several Surrey firefighters and food bank charities until he retired around 2000.

Gaunt says the family had originally planned on a regular family birthday for her father.

But with 2,900 likes and more than 5,000 shares on Slavin’s Facebook page, this Christmas-themed birthday was special – and not too taxing for Hayes.

Santa Claus fan Shawn Slavin takes a selfie with Percy Hayes at a care home in White Rock on July 29. Hayes, who celebrated his 84th birthday that day, was Santa Claus at Guildford Town Centre for 12 years. BOAZ JOSEPH “I’m very pleased,” Gaunt said.

“Everything has unfolded so nicely.”

A few other eager admirers visited Hayes in recent days with a cards and good wishes.

“I felt bad... when I read the card to him he teared up… such a sweetheart,” said George Mow Jr., who posted photos he took of himself and Hayes on his Facebook page.

Mow was a “Santa helper” from

the 1960s to the 1980s at Guildford Town Centre.

“He has been a part of my life and my child’s life for as far as I can remember,” wrote Shelley Brink of Calgary. “(He) was our star of Christmas.”

Birthday cards are still welcome.

The address is: Percy Hayes, c/o Evergreen Baptist Campus of Care, 1550 Oxford St., White Rock, B.C., V4B 3R5.

Another weekly decline in Metro Vancouver’s reservoirs to 66-per-cent capacity means stage 3 water use restrictions are here to stay until well into the fall.

“I don’t see this changing,” Metro water utilities committee chair Darrell Mussatto said of the toughest conservation measures imposed in 12 years.

“The reservoirs are still under stress. We need significant amounts of rainfall to get them back into normal levels.”

The three-per-cent drop in the total water supply came despite a sharp decrease in water consumption in the region thanks to cool rainy weekend weather and last week’s move to stage 3 restrictions, which ban all lawn sprinkling.

The region had set a target of cutting water use to no more than 1.2 billion litres of water per day when it declared stage 3 on July 20.

Regional usage fell from 1.48 billion that day to the 1.2 billion target last Thursday (July 23).

As wetter weather arrived and fewer residents felt the need to water plants, the numbers dropped further – to 1.05 billion July 24, 1.02 billion July Darrell 25, 1.0 billion July 26 and 1.07 Mussatto billion July 27.

“Those are good numbers,” Mussatto said, adding the vast majority of residents are respecting the sprinkling ban and other tougher restrictions.

But he urged residents to remain vigilant.

“We don’t want to be complacent,” Mussatto said.

As for violations, he said most are out of ignorance, with only a few offenders outright defying the restrictions.

Neighbours have been blowing the whistle on illegal lawn sprinkling, and some businesses and cities have also faced a backlash for continued sprinkling.

Besides responding to complaints involving officers, it also monitors wider trends and developments in RCMP policy and practice.

Former commission chair Shirley Heafey said the office was first set up in recognition that the high proportion of officers in B.C. made a presence in the province “extremely important.”

She said she’s not confident the agency will be as responsive after it’s B.C. is home to the largest contingent of RCMP officers in the country, with 7,100 Mounties assigned to E Division. FILE PHOTO

gone.

“I find it very, very sad,” said Heafey, who was with the commission for eight years until 2007. “I don’t know exactly who made the decision, but it’s a bad one.”

Heafey said the Surrey office staff were highly effective at organizing face-to-face mediation to resolve complaints quickly and at less cost than an investigation that can last two years.

“Usually when they sit down and talk to each other, things can be resolved,” Heafey said, estimating 800 complaints a year were resolved that way.

“Otherwise these complaints hang over the police officer’s head for a long time and the complainant is waiting and waiting.”

McDerby said the Surrey office took in complaints from across

the country – not just B.C. – but does not conduct any investigations itself and has not been involved in any mediation in recent years.

Incoming complaints are initially sent to the RCMP for investigation and commission staff only looks into them further if the complainant is dissatisfied with the outcome, she said.

Many complaints are now filed online rather than by phone, McDerby added.

Closing the Surrey office won’t change how complaints against officers in B.C. are made or processed, she added.

McDerby was unable to say how much money will be saved by closing the Surrey office. Eight full-time staff there are mostly retiring or leaving voluntarily.

The commission’s goal is to increase public con-

fidence in the RCMP by increasing transparency and accountability. Its annual budget is $11.4 million.

Most common complaint types against the RCMP: • Attitude, other than abusive language – 20 % • Criminal investigation quality (RCMP) – 18 % • Improper arrest – 9 % • Police physical abuse (other than restraints) –6% • Vehicular incidents –6% • Detention – 5 % • Search and seizure –4% • Incidents involving alcohol/drugs – 3 % • Public complaint process quality (RCMP) –3% • Property mishandling – 3 %

Five new judges named â–ś TWO WILL BE POSTED IN SURREY PROVINCIAL COURT JEFF NAGEL

The province has appointed five new Provincial Court judges, including two to be posted in Surrey and one in Abbotsford.

Judge Valliammai Chettiar and Judge Kathryn Ferriss will serve out of the Sur-

rey courthouse, while Judge Jay Solomon is assigned to Abbotsford.

Chettiar has extensive experience as a civil lawyer, Solomon was a criminal defence and personal injury lawyer, while Ferriss was a family lawyer primarily

represented legal aid clients.

Two other Provincial Court judges include one posted to Victoria and another yet to be assigned.

Meanwhile, a judge who graduated from UBC and the University of Victoria is the newest appointment to the Supreme Court of Canada. Justice Russell Brown, previously an Alberta Court of Appeal

judge, was appointed in July by Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

Brown’s appointment has been viewed by some observers as an attempt to place a more conservative voice on the high court after rulings against the federal government on multiple fronts, including mandatory minimum sentences, prostitution and medical marijuana.

â–ś SOME WATER EXEMPTIONS ALLOWED from page 3

Some exemptions are allowed, including minimal watering to maintain school yards, sports fields, golf greens and turf farms.

Mussatto estimated 100 millilmetres of rain is required to bring the regional water supply up into the midst of its normal range for this time of year. “We’re going into what is traditionally the driest part of the

year,� he noted.

If consumption can be held to no more than 1.2 billion litres per day, Metro officials estimate the reservoirs will have enough water to meet demand even if no rain falls until November.

The province previously declared a level four drought across southwestern B.C. after unprecedented low snowpacks and virtually no rainfall since May combined to cause record low streamflows.

More metering urged

Hans Schreier, a soil science and watershed management professor at UBC, said a better approach to water conservation would be for Metro cities to get serious about metering water in existing homes, not just new construction. “We have very poor water accounting,� he said, adding modern smart water meters can remotely alert officials to excessive use and fines can issued electronically.

It’s where her son Cody, and his friend Chantal MacLean, slid on a rain-soaked curve on Oct. 13, 2014 while travelling westbound and sailed into oncoming traffic.

The two 17-year-olds – both students at Clayton Heights Secondary – were killed instantly.

The pair were on their way to have Thanksgiving dinner at Cody’s family’s house when the crash occurred. “It’s seriously sad that medians were highly suggested two years ago,â€? Kehler told The Leader Tuesday. “I’m glad that it’s going up, but it’s not going to bring my son back. “Barriers all the way up Highway 10, until you get to the most dangerous part, and then there’s nothing,â€? she said. “It’s such a waste, because it didn’t need to happen‌ How many lives is too many?â€?

The B.C. Ministry of Transportation announced

Friday that work will begin at the end of July to add 600 metres of median barrier between Scott Road and Highway 91, along with a widening of that section of Highway 10.

Drivers are advised to expect delays until the $2.15-million project is completed sometime this fall. The corridor carries 30,000 vehicles a day.

Kehler hopes to be at the project unveiling.

While it’s too late for her son, she feels he might not have died in vain if another life can be saved with the barrier.

It’s been an incredibly tough time for the family since the teens’ deaths, Kehler said. “I think the shock and awe has worn off – now we’re just in the reality that he’s never coming home,� she said.

Kehler is now hoping to have the stretch of road renamed “Ladybug Hill� after her son.

Ladybugs are a favourite family symbol for the Kehlers.

She has spoken with Delta councillors, but has received no assurances that a name change is being considered.

The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Fr iday July 31 2015

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: Do you remember visiting Santa Claus (aka Percy Hayes) at Guildford Town Centre?

To answer, go to the home page of our website at surreyleader.com

Last week we asked: Does Surrey have enough police officers?

Here’s how you responded:

Yes 24% No 76%

Police oversight a must The Independent Investigations Office (IIO) is looking into the shooting death of 20-yearold Hudson Brooks outside the South Surrey district RCMP office on the morning of July 18.

It is the sixth investigation into an officer-involved shooting that the IIO has instituted since April 1. While police have said that Brooks was “suicidal,” he apparently was not armed. The shooting has provoked a wave of anger in South Surrey and many people say the shooting was an over-reaction by police.

The IIO has emphasized the importance of getting witness accounts of what happened on July 18 and particularly wants to hear from civilians. Anyone with information, or who witnessed the incident, is asked to contact the IIO’s toll-free witness line at 1-855-446-8477.

Officer-involved deaths are deeply troubling. This shooting took place just a few days before the lead RCMP officer in the October 2007 Taser death of Robert Dziekanski at Vancouver Airport, Benjamin “Monty” Robinson, was sentenced to two years less a day for lying to a public inquiry into Dziekanski’s death. Two other RCMP officers were exonerated, but Robinson, who has since resigned from the RCMP, joins Const. Kwesi Millington in facing jail time for their role in what has been deemed a

cover-up.

The Dziekanski death at the hands of police, and the subsequent Braidwood Inquiry into police actions, played a key role in the establishment of the IIO. It has proven controversial.

The most recent practice prior to the IIO had been to have other forces investigate, with cases remaining “all in the (police) family.”

Some current and former police officers are also angry at the IIO over the laying of murder charges against Delta Police Const. Jordan MacWilliams, who was part of an emergency response team called to deal with a distraught man outside the Starlight Casino in New Westminster in November 2012. Mehrdad Bayrami was shot and killed, and following an IIO investigation, MacWilliams was later charged with murder.

After further investigation, the Criminal Justice Branch of the ministry of attorney-general announced earlier this month a stay of proceedings had been entered, saying evidence in the case “no longer satisfies its charge approval standard for the continued prosecution.”

This brings up the question as to why the charges went ahead in the first place. Some feel the IIO was looking for a scalp to

hang from its belt to justify its existence.

However imperfect the IIO is, the public needs to have confidence in police at all times in order for our system of law and order to function properly.

The IIO was designed to show that an outside agency, which is not in any way beholden to police, can conduct an impartial investigation into deaths or serious injuries at the hands of police.

There have been too many questionable cases in recent times in B.C. to leave investigations of police-involved death or serious injury in the hands of police.

The fact that police (and the IIO) cannot lay charges in B.C. is another safeguard. That duty is performed by Crown counsel in this province. While some could argue that the Crown erred in allowing the MacWilliams charge to proceed at first, there’s something to be said for taking a second look at the evidence.

It’s far too early to tell what the IIO will come up with in the Brooks case. It will likely be months before any results are known. However, having the IIO investigate the matter is better than what used to take place.

Playing by the rules in the land of plenty GUEST VIEW ▼ Lance Peverley

As I walked past Bakerview Park in South Surrey the other morning, a pair of middle-aged scofflaws politely pedalled past me.

They were guilty of two crimes against humanity: the first, riding their bicycles on the sidewalk; the second, riding without helmets.

Imagine.

And all I could think of was how I, too, wish I was brave enough to flout the laws I have little use for.

Instead, I abide. I cycle along the edge of the roadway with the flow of traffic wearing my bike helmet, without exception. I don’t enter Surrey parks after dark. When driving, I stick to the regulations as posted and stay out of the left lane (except to pass) on B.C.’s highways.

All of these issues are legislated by our power brokers, when I would think a little common sense would suffice.

Don’t get me wrong. I support helmet laws on motorcycles and seatbelt laws in cars, if only to prevent the painful repercussions for our first responders. And I’m convinced our new distracted driving laws will eventually save lives.

But part of me wishes we had fewer edicts, as each new commandment fills me with a cynical sense of unease.

On the other hand – and on the other side of the world – I remember some time ago driving on a small island in the Mediterranean, where the stop signs apparently mean to slow down unless crash is imminent. My lesson was swift, after a couple of drivers following closely behind made gentle use of my bumper.

Further inland, a few years later in Rome, I was given an accelerated tour of the city by a Catholic nun. (Long story).

Traffic signs, lights, even pedestrian crossings meant little to her, as we flew

through on our way to her convent – rules of the road be… er… darned.

Here, in the not-so-wild west, we demand compliance, offering so many regulations that we actually hear strangers reminding each other of the laws of the land.

Don’t believe me? Try walking a small, well-behaved, leashed dog on White Rock’s waterfront promenade. I’m predicting the advice will be plentiful.

If you’re a smoker, I’m guessing you’ve had the odd comment cast your way, despite any efforts to puff away downwind.

Late last month, a group of soccer players not far from Bear Creek Park found out the hard way exactly what it means to ignore the City of Surrey’s

Such cheek.

Their reward was being confronted by a zealous city bylaw official and being sent home after a patronizing lecture from an RCMP officer.

But I guess that’s the choice we all make, whether to follow the rules verbatim or to make our own judgments and risk a ticket and possible confrontation when an overly pedantic official disagrees.

To the kind, generous and anonymous Boston Pizza guest: On Thursday, July 9, your kind act made the day of several seniors and staff from Elim Village.

The group had spent the afternoon on an exciting outing, travelling from Surrey to downtown Vancouver to see the sights, watch the production of the Lion King, and share in a special meal together at Boston Pizza on Lougheed Highway in Burnaby.

As the group sat down at their table to eat, they engaged in conversations about the day and the magnificent theatre show they

had just enjoyed together, how they were having the perfect day, and how thankful they were to be able to participate in this special occasion.

As the meal came to an end, with residents and staff feeling full and happy with the wonderful day they had just had, something beautiful happened. The server came to the group to tell them their bill had already been paid.

As the group stared at each other in disbelief, the server went on to explain that a generous customer had already taken care of the entire bill, the entire bill. All of our resident and staff meals were paid for by a beautiful, generous stranger that night, and their gesture left everyone in a state of shock at this act of kindness.

The next day the Elim community was buzzing with the news

Surrey youth soccer programs suspended ▶ 2,800 YOUNG ATHLETES AFFECTED AMID ALLEGATIONS OF BYLAW INFRACTIONS RICK KUPCHUK

Surrey youth soccer programs The Coastal City Football Club (CCFC) is claiming the suspension of both its boys’ and girls’ programs have been levied before the youth soccer group can answer the allegations against it.

The Surrey youth soccer organization, one of the largest in the province with roughly 2,800 members, has been suspended by two district associations recently. While both groups cite several allegations against CCFC, the club claims it has received just one complaint, and it “has not been given an opportunity to respond to the allegations.”

The South District Girls Soccer Association (SDGSA), which governs female youth soccer in Surrey and Delta, suspended CCFC last Friday (July 24). Monday night, the Surrey Metro Soccer Association (SMSA) followed suit, issuing a suspension affecting CCFC boys’ teams.

Under both suspensions, CCFC may not register play-

n Friday, July 24, 2015, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV formally recalled 1.4 million vehicles equipped with Uconnect dashboard computers that are vulnerable to hacking. It did this in response to a Wired magazine report about an experiment by the report’s author, Andy Greenberg and two famous hackers, Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek, who reportedly from a laptop 10 miles away took control of a Jeep that Mr.Greenberg was driving.

Mr. Greenberg described what happened as follows: “Though I hadn’t touched the dashboard, the vents in the Jeep Cherokee started blasting cold air at the maximum setting, chilling the sweat on my back through the inseat climate control system. Next the radio switched to the local hip-hop station and began blaring Skee-lo at full volume. I spun the control knob left and hit the power button, to no avail. Then the windshield wipers turned on, and wiper fluid blurred the glass.”

In Wired’s follow-up story on the resulting recall, however, the photo of a Jeep nosed into the shoulder of the road captioned as “Miller attempts to rescue the Jeep after its brakes were remotely disabled sending it into a ditch” is an even more compelling illustration of the potential havoc from car hacking.

While this hack was designed for the Wired story, has apparently never been used otherwise, and was no easy feat, a Chrysler spokesperson said the recall was issued, “out of an abundance of caution” to ensure that all affected customers are notified about the security vulnerability and the need to patch their software. Most media reports go on to detail all the steps Chrysler has taken including successfully blocking the hack at the network level and issuing a software patch downloadable to a USB drive for easy install on Uconnect.

This story is being hailed as an industry milestone: the first recall for car hacking, the first formal safety campaign responding to a cybersecurity threat.

And it highlights the fact that remote hacking of cars is doable and not just a possibility. Auto cybersecurity experts are saying that this recall “validates that cyber-hacking with cars is a serious issue” and that “the auto industry needs to develop new technology to combat these technological problems.”

The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has both applauded Chrysler for taking “the right step” and pledged itself to investigate the remedies “to ensure that the scope of the recall is correct and that the remedy will be effective.” The NHTSA is also now urging automakers to form an “Information Sharing and Analysis Center to team up against cybersecurity threats reminding automakers “the finance, aviation and utility industries all have established ISACs to help protect their critical infrastructure.” …by Cedric Hughes, Barrister & Solicitor with regular weekly contributions from Leslie McGuffin, LL.B

Central City has been awarded Building Owners and Managers Association of B.C.’s (BOMA BC) Outstanding Building of the Year (Toby) Award at an award Gala held at the Fairmont Waterfront Hotel in Vancouver.

The program judges BOMA BC commercial buildings on their management, operations, energy efficiency, design, tenant relations and community impact.

The TOBY Award is one of the most prestigious awards in the North American real estate industry and is further recognition of excellence in building management.

“We are extremely proud and honored to receive the BOMA BC 2015 Outstanding Building of the Year Award,” said Bill Rempel, vice-president and general manager of Central City. “We were up against very strong competition and this award speaks to the quality and calibre of Central City, our tenants, and our emerging community in Surrey City Centre.”

Central City is now qualified to advance to the National Awards Gala which will be held in September 2015 at BOMA Canada’s National Conference and Exhibition (BOMEX) in Quebec City.

Members of Surrey’s all-volunteer Fire Hall #3 said farewell to each other and their fire hall in a celebration at North Delta’s Sunbury Hall in June.

Fire Hall #3, located 11659 96 Ave., closed down on March 31 – along with volunteer Fire Hall #7 in Port Kells.

Active volunteers (technically paid oncall) were moved to nearby fire halls.

Past and present members and spouses that served the Royal Heights community were shown memorabilia that dated back to late 1950s.

The close-knit group also viewed a slide show showing the fires they attended, their drills and social events, including fundraisers and collections for the Surrey Food Bank.

“You have done your job well with the equipment and training supplied,” said Dave Shenton, the hall’s first volunteer fire chief (1958-1980). “Your enthusiasm was exemplary. You will always know within yourself that when you were called out, you performed admirably.”

Fire Hall #3’s last volunteer firefighter’s ID number was 175 when the fire hall closed.

Finding solace in ‘nothing’ at all ▶ ANGIE DOSANJH IS CONVINCED THERE’S A PLACE FOR FLOATING IN SALT WATER IN EVERYONE’S LIFE

Angie Dosanjh said floating in a sensory-deprivation tank opened an unexpected path of healing for her.

TRACY HOLMES

When Angie Dosanjh received the devastating news of her husband’s death, she was “completely broken.”

Tej had been her high school sweetheart, they’d been married 10 years and she was just weeks away from giving birth to their second child when police rang the doorbell of their Cloverdale home early one morning in August 2012.

“There’s no manual” for dealing with that kind of loss, Dosanjh said. “It opened up my heart in a way in which I realized how traumatic life can be.”

Overwhelmed by grief while focusing on remaining strong for her daughters, Dosanjh began re-evaluating her life, and looked to alternative paths to find her own healing.

She found it where she least expected – in “nothing.”

“The experience of floating is commonly referred to as experiencing nothing,” Dosanjh explained, of the sensory deprivation technique a friend suggested she try as a means of finding relief from the chaos her life had become.

“The first time I floated, I couldn’t tell if my eyes were open or closed.”

It involves being submerged “au naturel” in a sound- and light-proof tank of Epsom-salt-saturated, body-temperature water – approximately 1,000 pounds of salt in 1,000 litres of water – for 90 minutes.

Developed about 65 years ago by Dr. John C. Lilly, who was studying the effect of reduced external stimuli on the brain, it was exactly what Dosanjh needed – a place where she could finally process her grief.

For some, the experience evokes auditory and visual hallucinations; others report heightened creativity – drawn out while

engulfed in weightless silence and darkness, with no sense of time or space.

For Dosanjh – who was moved to include the tanks in the salt-therapy centre she opened last month in South Surrey (Salt Wellness Centre, #103-15303 31 Ave., 778294-7258) – “it brought out stuff.”

Floating was an opportunity for me to “Floating be real for myself,” she said. “It was really profound for me.”

It’s been just over a year since Dosanjh had her first float, and she acknowledges that circumstances which drove her to try it were not typical.

But she’s convinced there’s a place for floating in everyone’s life – whether it’s for stress relief, help managing

chronic pain, injury recovery or simply to relax. (She noted her centre is the first this side of the Fraser to offer float tanks; she also offers dry-salt therapy, for respiratory and skin ailments, as well as massage).

Next month will mark the third anniversary of her husband’s death, and while Salt may have evolved from the tragedy, Dosanjh said it is not centred on it.

▶ “The first time I floated, I couldn’t tell if my eyes were open or closed.”

ANGIE DOSANJH

“Losing him resulted in me going off on a different path,” she said. “As tragic as it is, it’s not going to define me, but it’s going to create meaning for me… turn my scars into sacred scars.

“I really feel like I want this to be a place of healing and rest for people.”

Surrey residents can donate blood at an upcoming clinic at Cloverdale Catholic Parish Centre on Aug. 2.

The national blood inventory has steadily declined this summer, a time when many donors are on vacation, Canadian Blood Services said Tuesday. Summer is also a time when more casualties occur on Canadian roads.

Donors are needed to boost inventory through the August long weekend

Cloverdale resident Mike Garisto, seen here in an undated file photo donating blood, is a frequent donor. The Canadian Blood Services agency says more donors are needed to help restock the blood supply this summer. and into the coming weeks.

“Summer is a challenging time for blood collection, when many regular donors

are on vacation – this is a great time for new donors to join us and help prevent a further decline in the

national inventory,” said Mark Donnison, vice-president of donor relations.

“Platelets derived from blood are critical to help stop bleeding and unfortunately expire just five days after a blood donation.”

The Cloverdale clinic is Sunday, Aug. 2 from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Cloverdale Catholic Parish Centre, 17475 59 Ave. The clinic target is 86 units.

To book an appointment to give blood, use the Give Blood App or visit blood. ca. For more information, call 1-888-2DONATE. Those with an appointment are encouraged to keep it and if possible, bring along a friend or family member to donate with them.

On the podium in Toronto ▶ A DOZEN LOCAL ATHLETES AMONG THE MEDAL WINNERS AT THE PAN-AMERICAN GAMES RICK KUPCHUK

With local players pitching in the gold medal games, Canada upset the United States in gold medal games in both the men’s baseball and women’s softball tournaments at the Pan-American Games which recently concluded in Toronto.

Sara Groenewegen of Surrey earned a complete-game win for the softball team, striking out seven batters in a 4-2 victory. All runs were scored in the eighth inning, as the teams finished the regulation seven innings in a scoreless tie.

Groenewegen allowed one earned run in six hits and three walks. She won four games during the tournament, and in 19 innings pitched before the final game, she allowed just two earned runs on eight hits while stiriking out 31 batters.

North Delta native Jenn Yee was also on the women’s softball team, contributing seven hits and three runs scored while playing second base.

North Delta native Jeff Francis won a gold medal playing for Canada in men’s baseball.

The 34-year-old left-hander pitched in the gold medal game, a 7-6 10-inning victory for Canada. Trailing 6-4 going into the bottom of the 10th inning, Canada scored three times, including two when a pickoff attempt at first base led to two throwing errors by the Americans and allowed the tying and winning runs to score.

“It’s hard to put in to words,” Francis told Canadian Press.

“It’s a crazy way to end a baseball game, a really good baseball game too.

“This was our goal and we did it. I think a lot of guys appreciate the kind of team we have. It isn’t always pretty but we got it done.”

Francis hadn’t hadn’t pitched on the national team since the 2006 World Baseball Classic, when Canada won two of three games, including an 8-6 upset of the U.S.A. Drafted ninth overall in the

Sara Groenewegen was the winning pitcher in Canada’s 4-2 win over the United States in the women’s softball gold medal game at the Pam-American Games in Toronto. FILE PHOTO first round of the 2002 Major League Baseball Draft by the Colorado Rockies, Francis made his first major league appearance in August, 2004.

His best season in the majors was in 2007, when he won 17 games as the Rockies advanced to the World Series. After becoming the first Canadian to win a post-season game, Francis pitched in Game One, becoming just the second Canadian to start in a World Series contest.

He currently pitches in the Toronto Blue Jays farm system, working as a reliever for the triple-A Buffalo Bisons. He has appeared in eight games for the Blue Jays this season.

In his Major League career, Francis has also pitched for the New York Yankees, Cincinnati Reds, Oakland A’s and Kansas City Royals.

Nine other local athletes were on the podium in Toronto.

Christabel Nettey, 24, won the gold medal in the women’s long jump, leaping 6.9m.

Bianca Stuart of Bahamas was the runner-up at 6.69m. In six attempts, Nettey jumped 6.8m or better four times.

A former member of the Arizona State University track and field team, Nettey won a bronze medal at last summer’s Commonwealth Games in continued on page 19

A BC Games connection ▶ ALUMNI OF PROVINCIAL COMPETITION IN THE MEDALS AT PAN-AM GAMES

Of the dozen athletes from Surrey/North Delta on the podium, at the recent Pan-American Games in Toronto, five began their elite athletic careers by competing at B.C. Games events.

“The strength of the provincial sport system is evident as we see the progression of athletes towards events like the Pan American Games,” said Kelly Mann, CEO of BC Games Society. “We are proud to have played a role in providing a valuable multi-sport competition for these athletes at the BC Games and as part of Team BC.” Sara Groenewegen of Surrey, the winning pitcher in Canada’s 4-2 win over the United States in women’s softball’s gold medal game, competed at the 2008 B.C. Summer Games in Kelowna.

Hilary Caldwell of White Rock competed as a swimmer at the 2006 BC Winter Games in Greater Trail. She won a gold medal in the 200m back stroke in Toronto.

Christabel Nettey of Surrey won the women’s long jump at the Pan-Am Games, nine years after she won gold in the long jump as well as the 100m and 200m sprints at the 2006 BC Summer Games in Kamloops.

Jusleen Virk was fourth in the 44 kg. class in women’s karate at the 2004 BC Winter Games in Port Alberni, but won a bronze medal in the ame event at the Pan-Am Games.

Jeff Francis of North Delta was at the 1993 B.C. Winter Games, and 22 years later pitched in the gold medal game in men’s baseball, winning gold with a 7-6 win over the United States.

Athletes who have competed in past B.C. Games won or contributed to 22 of the 217 medals won by Canada at the Pan-American Games.
