‘Unpredictable event’ investigated by Surrey bylaws department

Surgery for 7-year-old attacked by dogTracy HolmesStaff Reporter

A dog attack Friday evening in South Sur-rey has left a seven-year-old girl with inju-ries that will require plastic surgery.

“It’s a terrible situation,” Surrey bylaw operations manager Kim Marosevich said Tuesday, of the incident that occurred on property near 139 Street and 24 Avenue.

Exactly what happened and the extent of the

girl’s injuries are unclear. However, Maros-evich said bylaw officers were alerted to the attack involving a Dogo Argentino – an ani-mal previously bred for big game hunting in Argentina – by emergency responders, who were dispatched around 8 p.m. Aug. 7.

“We’re not really clear on what exactly hap-pened that triggered that incident,” Maros-evich said.

“It’s just a horrific, life-altering event for

everybody involved.”Marosevich said the girl had been invited

to play at the home where the dog lived. At least one child also lived at the home, she said, and there have been no previous incidents of aggression involving the canine.

While officers responded to a report in 2012 of the dog being off its property, it was a “pretty routine” call, Marosevich said.

“To the best of everybody’s knowledge, it

was quite an unpredictable event,” she said. “He’s been licensed with us for some years.”

Marosevich said the dog’s owners have opted to have their pet euthanized. The procedure – decided on prior to contact with Surrey bylaws – was scheduled for yes-terday (Tuesday), and once it has been con-firmed, bylaws’ investigation will essentially be closed, she said.

Series sounds successAlex BrowneStaff Reporter

Indications are good for a return of the TD Concerts at the Pier next year, according to White Rock BIA executive director Douglas Smith.

In an email to Peace Arch News Monday, Smith cited positive response and a growing audience during the five-week series of free Saturday night concerts, which concluded Saturday, Aug. 8 with a performance by The Matinee, Tonye Aganaba and Blue Moon Marquee.

“From all indications, the BIA, the City and our major sponsors want to continue supporting the series next year,” Smith said, noting the quality of emerging indie talent spotlighted by the event.

The series drew patrons from all over the region, including Washington State, he said.

“Many of the visitors had dinner at our local restaurants, and that was what we envisioned,” he said.

“Going forward, it would be amazing if the City of White Rock could eventually build an amphitheatre near the pier that could be used for the concert series and other major events.”

If it doesn’t happen, “the dog now meets the definition of dangerous.”

Marosevich said either way, she would like to hear from the victim’s family and any others who witnessed the attack.

But “whether or not they want to provide statements, at the end of the day, will be up to them.”

“I certainly hope to hear from them,

even if we only have the opportunity to offer our support.”

While Marosevich couldn’t specu-late on what made the dog attack, she has no doubt there would have been warning signs.

“Given the history… I’m speculating that they weren’t looking for warning signs because they never had any rea-son to look for warning signs.”

Drivers using busy routes through Surrey will soon be able to check elec-tronic signs to help avoid the worst congestion.

The municipality will become the first in B.C. to install a $2-million real-time travel information system to relay data to drivers.

Dynamic message signs will go up on key routes to provide real-time traffic conditions.

They’re tentatively planned for King George Boulevard, 152 Street, 88 Avenue, and busy stretches of Fraser Highway and 96 Avenue.

Data will help guide future trans-portation planning and will also be relayed to the city’s Traffic Manage-ment Centre and posted to the city website.

The federal government is covering half the cost.

newsTwo men break-in then escape with cash

Intruders surprise senior in her home

‘Minor burns’ suffered

Fire guts farmhouse

A resident of a South Surrey farmhouse was “very lucky” to suffer just minor burns in a late-afternoon fire that “pretty much destroyed” the home Monday.

Deputy Chief Dan Barnscher said the home at 19103 8 Ave. was “fully involved” when firefighters arrived on the scene just after 4:30 p.m.

“Very extensive damage to the farmhouse itself,” Barnscher said. “There was one very minor injury to a tenant of the farmhouse… to a very small area maybe the size of a toonie on one of his arms.”

Barnscher said the blaze sparked a flurry of calls to the fire ser-vice. As the home is located in an area without fire hydrants, several tanker trucks were used to shuttle water to battle the blaze, he said; 18 firefighters were dispatched.

A fire investigator was on the scene Tuesday morning to try and determine the cause. The results were not available by Peace Arch News press deadline.

Barnscher said given the extent of the damage, it’s possible the cause may remain a mystery.

“On something like this, it’s sometimes very difficult… to come up with a conclusive answer.”

Police are seeking help in identifying two intruders who walked into a South Surrey residence while an elderly woman was home.

According to a statement issued last Thurs-day – but dated two days earlier – the inci-dent took place at 5:20 p.m. on Aug. 1, in the 13200-block of Marine Drive.

Surrey RCMP say two men walked into the home through an open door while the woman, the homeowner, was alone in the residence.

The woman was not injured, but the sus-pects escaped with cash.

The men are described as Caucasian and

in their 20s, both of slim build and average height and wearing dark clothing. One had blond hair and the other had dark stubble on his face.

A neighbour has described their vehicle as a silver or grey older model car (possibly a Toyota) with “with dull paint, a very ‘boxy’

rear end and a weak-sounding engine.”Officers with the Mounties’ General Inves-

tigation Unit and the Forensic Investigation Section are working to identify the culprits.

Anyone with more information is asked to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502, or, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Surrey businesses host dignitaries

Fijian PM visit heralds trade mission Nick Greenizan & Alex BrowneStaff Reporters

A brief visit to Surrey Friday by the Prime Minister of Fiji marked the first time a leader from his country has visited Canada.

Rear Admiral (Rtd.) Josaia V. Bainimarama – the first democratically-elected sitting prime minister of his country – was guest and key-note speaker of a luncheon with the Surrey Board of Trade at the Sheraton Vancouver Guildford Hotel.

Later Friday afternoon – accompanied by an extensive entourage of aides and security per-sonnel – he took the opportunity to visit Peace Arch Park and the Canada-U.S. border.

With entourage and media in tow, Bainima-rama walked from the Peace Arch Duty Free store to the Peace Arch, marveling both at the fact he could walk through the park – which covers both U.S. and Canadian soil – freely and

without his passport, and at the growing lineup of cars waiting in each direction.

After a brief stop underneath the arch for photos – as well as a photo at the southwest corner of the property, near the “Welcome to the United States’ sign – the prime minister and his group returned north of the 49th parallel.

The prime minister’s visit coincided with an

announcement Friday afternoon that the Sur-rey Board of Trade was embarking on a trade mission to Fiji in November.

Fiji – a group of islands in the South Pacific Ocean – currently exports nearly $184 million worth of goods into the U.S. and Canada, and is seeking foreign investment into agricultural and livestock production, dairy, renewable energy, communication technology and other areas.

“Surrey stands at a critical juncture where the right decisions, through foreign and domestic investment… will create economic opportuni-ties for a generation and beyond,” said Greg Thomas, chair of the Surrey Board of Trade’s international trade team.

“I think that in Surrey, Fijian businesses and Canadian businesses can focus on the strength and innovation within every entrepreneur to take an idea and use it as the foundation for building a business, locally and globally.”

A child escaped injury after falling from a second-floor window in the Sullivan Heights neighbourhood of Surrey on the weekend.

On Sunday at about 10:30 a.m., a boy just under two-years-old climbed

up some boxes near a window, leaned against a window screen and tumbled out.

He was rushed to hospital, held for observation and released.

Police say it’s another fortunate

result in a situation that could have been much worse.

Parents are reminded that young kids can be much faster than often imagined.

Caregivers are reminded to secure

windows and/or make sure children have no access to them.

Toddler survives fall from second floor

Kevin DiakiwBlack Press

Surrey police are investigating the possibility that an arsonist acciden-tally lit himself on fire last week, then ran to an SUV which his burning body set ablaze.

On Aug. 4 at 1:30 a.m., crews responded to a fire at a home in the 7900-block of 134 Street.

When they arrived, they found the garage door of a home and an SUV on fire about a half-a-block away.

Police believe the fire at the home was intentionally set and that the per-son who set it may have been on fire when they got into the SUV, setting the vehicle ablaze.

The 2011 Ford Escape was reported

stolen later in the morning.At the time of the fire, a resident saw

three men running from the home and get into the SUV.

He also noted there was a small fire in the vehicle as it drove off.

It crashed into a fence and cedar hedge and continued to burn.

There have been no reports of any injuries.

Police say officers are trying to determine the exact circumstances and possible motive behind this inci-dent.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers, if they wish to remain anonymous, at 1-800-222-TIPS or www.solvecrime.ca

They are the questions of a grieving father – and among them are also the questions of many in the community.

Coming up on four weeks after the death of Hudson Brooks, 20, we know next to nothing about how a young man was killed in an apparent altercation outside the RCMP detachment office in South Surrey in the early morning hours of July 18 .

We know that Brooks was shot and an officer received a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. We know, because the RCMP has confirmed it, that only police-issued firearms were found at the scene.

We know that the Independent Investigations Office has taken charge of investigating the incident, and that firearms and ballistics reports are crucial. Hudson’s father, Matt Brooks, told Peace Arch News last week that he was told by the IIO that completion of a ballistics report, alone, will take nine months.

For the community, that seems a staggering amount of time to wait for answers. One can only imagine how it feels to a family in grief.

Until the investigation is complete, the IIO says, there is no hope of information concerning any 911 call made that night, or any surveillance footage – anything which could shed light on this tragedy – being released. And if charges are recommended, no evidence will be made public then.

A week ago, the elder Brooks – who made it clear he has a high opinion of the officers he has dealt with since the tragedy – issued a list of questions about many of the things that disturb him about the way Hudson died, and the way the case has since been handled.

In it, he rejects, emphatically, the characterization of his son as ‘suicidal’ – a suggestion that came directly from an RCMP news release.

His questions remain unanswered.We have unanswered questions, too. We’d like

to know the status of officers involved in this case, and whether there have been any reassignments from active duty pending completion of the investigation. As well, who fired the weapon that struck the injured officer?

We would like to believe that procedure is preventing investigators from commenting further on the case. And we want to believe that our guardians of law and order are acting in our best interests.

This is a conservative community with a traditionally high boiling point and a willingness to co-operate with, and trust, police officers. But the tight-lipped approach of officialdom on this file is sorely shaking confidence in the powers that be.

At a certain point, a failure to communicate with the public can become a breach of public trust.

The first, and perhaps the only complete English-language debate in this long federal election

campaign has helped define the issues, and the non-issues.

I’m not going to try to tell you who “won” or “came out swinging,” because this is not a sporting event. If you’re paying attention in August, bless you, and you probably have a favourite already.

First, let’s deal with Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s diabolical scheme to extend the length of the formal election period. This, according to national pundits, is an extension of his evil plot to attract more financial supporters than the other parties, and spend the money. In other words, it’s a non-issue and any opponent who dwells on it looks like a whiner.

This is the first election in modern Canadian history to follow a four-year schedule. National pundits spent months telling us Harper was going to use a loophole in his own election law to call a spring vote before the economy tanked. Didn’t happen, and now the Conservatives are rightly under scrutiny about their economic management.

Incumbent manipulation of election timing is over, and that’s good.

Scheduled elections by their nature create longer campaigns, as demonstrated in B.C. and the United States. So they

should be conducted under formal campaign rules, which limit the noise of public sector unions and other special interests.

Another non-issue is the non-existent deficit and recession that supposedly grips Canada. On actual results, there is a slim surplus, and if – a big if – Saudi Arabia continues to depress world oil prices, there may be a modest deficit by next spring.

The Bank of Canada’s recent move to devalue the dollar has already produced a rebound in exports and tourism, which any

government would appreciate. Have you tried to find parking at the mall lately?

Of particular interest to B.C. voters is the contest between NDP leader Thomas Mulcair and Green Party leader Elizabeth May. May used what may be her only national debate appearance to press Mulcair to oppose the TransMountain pipeline expansion project before hearings are complete.

Mindful of Adrian Dix’s disastrous 2013 decision to do the same in B.C., Mulcair

insisted he would wait for the federal review, even though he considers it to be inadequate.

This is, of course, all theatre. Based on their actions, the NDP, Green Party and Liberals are all opposed not just to oil pipelines but export gas pipelines as well. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau wants to cancel capital cost allowances for liquefied natural gas investment that have been granted by B.C. and Ottawa, which could be a deal-breaker for LNG.

BC NDP leader John Horgan formalized his opposition to the TransMountain expansion last week, in a letter filed with the National Energy Board. But we’re expected to believe that Mulcair has a different position, for now.

Harper was forced to admit that his long effort to persuade U.S. President Barack Obama to approve the Keystone XL pipeline has failed, and the project will have to wait until Obama leaves office next year.

The debate also confirmed positions on Canada’s modest role in bombing Islamic State terrorist positions in Iraq and Syria. The Conservatives are for it, and the Liberals, NDP and Greens are against it.

Trudeau set the stage for the contest in Quebec, which B.C. voters can only watch from afar to see if it once again decides the shape of their federal government. Trudeau pushed Mulcair on his cynical bid to court the separatist voters who suddenly swung to Jack Layton’s NDP in 2011. Like petroleum prices, it’s beyond our control.

A city of ‘character’Editor:Re: ‘No one has defined White Rock’s unique character’, July 31.

I moved to White Rock two years ago after visiting here for many years during the summer months.

I chose to retire in White Rock for its character as a ‘small city’ with easy access to numerous trails, beaches, parks and nearby conveniences for everyday living.

After reading the article regarding the city councillors wanting to define the character of White Rock, I believe White Rock emulates a multi-generational community understanding one another in order to promote richness and quality of life in an environment of natural beauty encouraging a healthy and culturally diverse lifestyle.

Let’s not create another city of high towers promoting a community of just another city that isolates many, rather than bringing all citizens together to celebrate life and beauty in this corner of the world! S. McKenzie, White Rock

The White Rock OCP calls for 3,000 new housing units.

The ‘Imagine White Rock 2045’ survey says residents want that development located in the city core or along the North Bluff.

Developers aren’t interested in those locations.

Why?Developers would rather destroy

a neighbourhood dominated by singe-family homes – except for the Royce, a building Mayor Wayne Baldwin called ‘landmark’ at the ribbon-cutting ceremony – with not one but four highrise towers.

These buildings are to be located at the top of one of the steepest grades in the city, near Oxford at Thrift, with Oxford a two-lane road at this juncture.

Imagine indeed.Karen Cooper, the city’s director

of planning and development, is confused as to the city’s ‘character’, since it has never been officially defined. Seriously? Any one of the larger-than-normal group of citizens attending this council meeting could have educated her.

After Cooper made it clear that these towers will go ahead after minor design changes, the majority left the meeting in disgust.J. Larsen, White Rock

Small fees would add upEditor:

As we all know, governments of all levels love to squeeze more and more money from us, the middle-class taxpayers, and waste huge amounts on the most insane things they can think of.

Just think senators, TransLink, advertising to promote themselves, expense accounts and pensions for life for government employees.

Did I forget fancy hotels, fancy

restaurants with fancy drinks, fancy travel, whether for personal or government-related purposes…?

Hmm, the list goes on and on.Budget frugality only enters

the governmental mindset when the money we pay them is to be handed out again. Think veterans, transportation, housing…

Most of us have learned along the way that there is no such thing as a free lunch – apart from the lunches for government, of course.

And yet there actually are some free lunches for us, to wit:

We can all frequent emergency rooms for whatever frivolous reason at no direct cost – though I am not including people who are really in need of emergency treatment.

We can all borrow books, movies, music etc. and use computers from our many, many libraries at no cost.

Two good potential resources to think of when government needs even more money for public transport perhaps? Certainly cheaper and more acceptable than having to pay exorbitant amounts of money in property taxes, property transfer taxes, gasoline taxes, liquor taxes and so-called luxury taxes?

If there really is no such thing as a free lunch:

• Why not have any and all users

of walk-in clinics pay $1 or $2 per visit to use the clinic?

• Why not have all library users pay $5 or $10 annually to borrow whatever we want from the library?

Two sources of income that should seem very reasonable to the poor and the not-so-poor and yet would result in a steady and accumulating income for our wasteful governments! And a heck of a lot more creative than adding more to taxes yet again on what we buy to eat, drink, move to and live in.M.M. Keij, Surrey

Petition critic quite literalEditor:Re: Nestlé protest doesn’t hold water, July 22 column.

Columnist Tom Fletcher pulls no punches, calling the SumOfUs/WaterWealth petition “nonsense” in the opening paragraph of his piece.

Fortunately, none of Fletcher’s punches land, being aimed at places the petition never stood.

As a representative of WaterWealth, I sincerely apologize to Fletcher if he took the words

“suck B.C. dry” literally and mistook the opening comment for the whole conversation.

We had not anticipated that, and feedback we have received indicates the public went well beyond that opening comment to understand the broader issues that the petition was about – primary among them being to ensure that the Water Sustainability Act is sufficiently funded to be fully implemented.

The review of rental rates under the act, that the petition sought and that the province promised even before the petition was delivered, is but one more step in the ongoing work to ensure that the public’s voice is heard in development of strong regulations for the Water Sustainability Act, the first major update of B.C. water law in over a century.

Perhaps Fletcher overlooked that the petition text was “Charge a fair price for Canada’s groundwater! Commit now to review the water rates!”

Those rates, ranging from $0.02 to $2.25, apply to some 80 categories of water use. None of those 80 categories of use can be satisfied with either tap water or a jug from the fridge.Ian Stephen, WaterWealth Project

Tracy Holmes photoResidents Gary Cameron and Victoria Blinkhorn oppose high-density proposals in their single-family neighbourhood.

Editor:Re: Development opponents say rejection will be short-lived, Aug. 5.

Every Neighbourhood Concept Plan (NCP) calls for transitional density. This planning objective ensures that existing low-density neighbourhoods are not crushed by overwhelming high-density new construction at their doorstep.

In this case, that density range is two to 10 units per acre. The proponent, Tara Development, is demanding the highest possible density along the perimeter of the planning area. Their plan will adversely impact existing homeowners living across from the new construction.

Tara Development, through architect Mark Ankenman, has conveniently chosen to blame the City of Surrey planning department for the impasse, saying: “If there’s a range of opportunities in the NCP that the neighborhood doesn’t want, then that range of opportunities shouldn’t be in the NCP,” he said, noting the increased density cited “ain’t us”…

He goes on to say the increased density cited will come from a project going in behind Tara Developments’.

Mayor and council are in receipt of a 350-signature signed petition expressing opposition to file 7914-0118.

The issues are clear. The density being sought is excessive; the duplex built form is incongruent with the

existing neighbourhood and the proposal is in conflict with three other larger files underway in this area.Mike Proskow, Surrey

The 2012 Orchard Grove NCP contains five written modulations and five visual guidelines for development along 26 Avenue. I dispute the architect’s contentions at the public hearing that his proposal is consistent with the neighbourhood community plan.

It is also my opinion that his “believe me neighbours, I have been respectful” comment is disingenuous. I consider it disrespectful that a developer would prey upon the spirit and intent of the NCP with this plan.

The Orchard Grove NCP graphically suggests either five duplex units or five single-family units in the 7914-0118 development space. By contrast, application 7914-0118’s “sensitive notion of matching form and function” is to stuff 17 units – eight duplexes plus one single-family unit – into the same NCP space!

These drawings explain why 364 neighbours signed a petition against this plan in one midsummer’s week.

The real puzzle is why council would disregard the planning department’s earlier recommendation and subsequently spend 1½ hours of council time hearing blowback from angered neighbours.Murray McFadden, Surrey

The trial for Jamie Bacon has been postponed for more than a year due to a lengthy pre-trial process.

Bacon, on trial in relation to the Surrey Six slayings in October 2007, was due to be in court on Sept. 2 on one count of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder.

The Surrey Six slayings at Balmoral Tower in Whalley left six dead, including two innocent bystanders – Chris Mohan of Surrey and Ed Schellenberg of Abbotsford.

On July 28, the trial was pushed to Oct. 31, 2016 – seven years after Bacon was arrested.

“A number of factors (caused the postponement), but that included that there’s additional time that’s expected to be needed to deal with some additional pre-trial applications as well as dealing with issues arising from disclosure by Crown of some privileged material,” said Neil MacKenzie, spokesman for the provincial criminal justice branch.

A ban on publication is in place on the pre-trial motions that are causing the delays.

The trial itself is expected to last for six

to nine months.To this point, four

people have been convicted, or have

pleaded guilty, to a role in the murders of Corey Lal, his brother Michael, associates Ryan Bartolomeo and Eddie Narong, and Schellenberg and Mohan.

Last December,

Cody Haevischer and Matthew Johnston were sentenced to life in prison after being found guilty of six counts of first-degree murder and one count of conspiracy.

They are appealing.In 2013, Michael

Le pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder and was sentenced to 12 years.

One person, who can only be identified as Person X by court order, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in 2009 for three of the murders and was sentenced to life with no parole for 15 years.

The wait for trial isn’t likely to benefit Bacon.

In non-murder trials, time in custody prior to trial often counts as double time. However, that’s not the case in murder trials. Typically, time served will come off the time required for parole eligibility. For murder charges, time spent in jail prior to a conviction is counted as straight time.

Jeff NagelBlack Press

TransLink is switching to a one-zone fare at all times on buses as the solution that will allow it to roll out its long-delayed Com-pass card to the entire transit system.

It means a price drop of at least $1.25 for regu-lar riders who now pay for two or three zones on certain bus routes that cross zone boundaries.

Passengers on the 351 bus from White Rock/South Surrey to Bridge-port Station in Rich-mond, for example, will pay $2.75 for an adult weekday fare, effective Oct. 5, instead of the $4 two-zone fare.

If they continue on to Vancou-ver via Canada Line, they’ll pay a total of $4 instead of $5.50 previ-ously for three zones.

The same applies to riders of the 555 from Langley over the Port Mann Bridge to the Sky-Train in Burnaby.

And passengers will pay less on several other routes spanning at least two zones, including buses that cross North Shore bridges, that connect Surrey and Delta to Richmond or New Westminster.

TransLink will also abandon the planned Compass card tap-out requirement on buses.

That was a major headache for launching the smart-card pay-ment system because tests found many passengers forgot to tap out on buses and were then charged the maximum three zones.

Bus service also stood to be crippled by delays on busy routes

if every exiting pas-senger had to tap out, particularly if provider Cubic failed to improve slow card-detection rates of the Compass readers.

The change also addresses the fact bus riders on multi-zone routes would have been able to pay only one zone by tapping their

card without leaving.The end of the zone system

applies only to buses. SkyTrain, SeaBus and West Coast Express passengers still have to tap out.

Multi-zone bus routes are rela-tively scarce – 80 per cent of rid-ers move only within one zone and won’t see any savings.

But there are concerns the elim-ination of two- or three-zone bus fares may result in worse bus congestion on certain routes. Buses that cross bridges like the Ironworkers Memorial or Port Mann will suddenly be cheaper to take than boarding a SeaBus or SkyTrain.

Cathy McLay, TransLink’s chief

financial officer and the incom-ing acting CEO, said TransLink is not projecting any net drop in revenue from giving up the extra zone charges.

“We think it will all balance out – the increased ridership will cover off any loss,” she said.

McLay was unable to say whether or how TransLink will put on more buses on routes that could see higher volumes.

“Unfortunately, with the ‘no’ plebiscite, there is no increase in transit services,” she said.

The changed bus-fare system is billed as temporary pending a fare-policy review and a possible eventual move to distance-based transit pricing.

There are no plans to increase one-zone bus fares, McLay said.

TransLink says it will begin activating Compass vending machines later this month at SkyTrain stations and SeaBus terminals.

They’ll initially sell single-use Compass tickets, but actual Compass cards will be available via the machines by late October.

As for when fare gates will actu-ally close and secure the system, that could be months longer as TransLink waits for riders to use up pre-paid FareSaver tickets, which will no longer be sold next year.

The gates were originally to be operational by fall of 2013.

BUSINESS CENTREAre there Networking benefi ts in a Business Centre?

A Business Centre is an excellent forum for business networking and cross – selling to occur. A Business Centre setting, allows for like-minded professionals from a variety of industries, and backgrounds to mingle. This method of networking is unstructured and clients get to know other professionals as they use the offi ce’s photocopier / scanner, grab a coffee, or refi ll their water bottle in the shared kitchen space. These casual encounters make for comfortable meetings where information is shared and business networking begins. Business Centres also may provide many opportunities throughout the year to bring clients together through structured professional networking events or fun social gatherings. In a relaxed and fun atmosphere professional relationships forge and trust is attained which is what business transactions are built on. Ocean Pointe Business Centre provides many opportunities for professional networking to transpire, and synergy between businesses to ensue.

YOUR AESTHETIC PHYSICIAN EXPERTWhat options are available for skin resurfacing?

Facial scaring from acne, injury, surgery, deep wide pores, rough texture, sun damaged skin, wrinkles as well as skin laxity around the eye lids, face and neck are unfortunate common conditions. I have treated these conditions for more than 10 years with excellent results using a combination of skin care, Botox, dermal fi ller, IPL and ablative lasers. Fully ablative lasers have considerable risks and extensive recovery time. The development of fraxel, non-ablative and fractioned ablative CO2 lasers in the past 10 years has signifi cantly reduced risk and shortened recovery time to seven days. Unfortunately, seven days of healing remains a signifi cant barrier for most people considering facial resurfacing.Venus Viva (Nano fractional, radio frequency) is a revolutionary treatment option for those considering facial resurfacing.

View Laser was the fi rst clinic in B.C. to offer Viva Nano RF. Check the September 9 edition of Ask The Expert for more information.

YOUR VISION EXPERTCan I use my glasses prescription to buy contact lenses?The prescription for your glasses is not the same as the prescription for your contacts. Every prescription for glasses or contact lenses must have your name, the doctor’s name, exam date, expiry date and the power of lenses needed. However, a prescription for contact lenses also needs the lens name, the manufacturer, the curvature, the size of the lens and instructions on how long the lens can be worn.The only way to verify the contact lens is a good fi t is to have the contact lens assessed on your eye by a professional. The fi t and prescription for contact lenses will be different depending on the type and material.

REALTORWhat’s happening in this area’s real estate market?

The market’s busy. The once typical “summer slowdown” hasn’t happened yet. The Fraser Valley Board saw the highest number of real estate transactions ever recorded for the month of July. Continued low interest rates and a strong provincial economy makes home ownership increasingly attractive. Currently the Sales to Active Ratio for the Fraser Valley is 28% - a defi nite seller’s market.Detached houses in good condition in preferred school catchments are still selling very quickly, often with multiple offers. (Eg. Detached home Sales to Active Ratio in Ocean Park and Sunnyside are as high as 37 – 44 %.) Townhomes and apartments have been selling more slowly but are starting to move now as people who have sold their detached houses look for their next home and new buyers enter the market.Every neighborhood is different.

A condition where a toe is bent or contracted. Hammertoes themselves usually are not painful, however the friction of them rubbing against the inside of shoes can create a build-up of thick, hard skin (a corn), which can be very uncomfortable.Causes: Hammertoes are usually the result of foot misalignment. The condition may be inherited, usually over-pronation causes the tendons on the bottom of the foot to pull on an angle, causing a buckling or bending of the toe. Treatment: It is always best to try to catch this in the earlier stages, before the toe becomes fi xed. Orthotics can often serve to correct the biomechanical faults, which cause the hammertoe. If the toe is in a fi xed or rigid bent position, the choices are either to put up with the discomfort, pad the toes, get deeper or more accommodating shoes or undergo a relatively minor surgical procedure to correct the contracted joint.Prevention: Make sure your shoes are wide enough and deep enough in order to prevent rubbing or friction irritation and the formation of a corn. Motion-control shoes and / or orthotics can serve to reduce any over-pronation. Activity Restrictions: None really. It depends on the severity of pain.

perspectives…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

What’s sure to be a day filled with beauty and magic will also include plenty of virtue, as the

White Rock Princess Party returns this month.

Set for Aug. 22 at Star of the Sea Community Centre, the annual fundraiser promises a fairytale-like experience for little princesses and princes alike, according to organizer Myra Merkel.

“This year we are welcoming both Queen Elsa and Princess Anna, who are packing their trunks and heading to White Rock,” Merkel said of the characters from the popular Disney film, Frozen, set to make an appearance at the party.

The popular event – now in its sixth year – also includes crafts, cookie decorating, a cakewalk, face painting, prizes and a visit from Korki the Klown.

In addition to creating a magical, memorable experience for little ones who attend, Merkel said there is an emphasis on embracing the virtues of friendliness, community spirit and empathy.

“We wanted to raise the awareness in both the parents’ and children’s minds about practising these virtues in the home,” Merkel said, noting many of their activities

– such as the courtesy cakewalk – are designed to include elements of respect and consideration.

The princess parties have steadily gained popularity since Merkel first launched the idea in 2010 as a way of raising funds to build an all-abilities park on White Rock’s waterfront.

Last month, Merkel and her son, firefighter Evan Bird, appealed to White Rock council for the city’s support of the park project; council voted unanimously to endorse the project and work on finalizing a location.

Merkel said the princess parties have become an important event in the lives of not only the children who attend, but the many volunteers – including the White Rock Youth Ambassadors – who help make the special day a success.

She said seeing the young partygoers experience the magic of the party is

“incredible.” “It just reignites in all our volunteers the

memories of when you were a little girl,” she said.

Tickets for the White Rock Princess Party are $31, which includes entry for one child and one adult. They can be bought online at www.wrprincessparty.com or at 15414 24 Ave.

Merkel pointed out the age suggestions for the event – two to 10 for princesses and two to five for princes – are simply a guideline, and up to parents’ discretion.

While the event usually sells out each year, Merkel said there are plenty of tickets currently available for the party, which she promises will be both magical and meaningful for the young attendees.

“It’s not only about looking beautiful,” Merkel said. “It’s about making each child feel special, with the belief that their true beauty is from within.”

A familiar face to many with children in White Rock Elemen-tary has passed away.

John Refeen, 74, who had been a crossing guard at the school for a decade, died July 30 at Surrey Memorial Hos-pital after a brief battle with cancer.

For those with lon-ger memories, Refeen, known for his psychic abilities, was familiar in the 1980s as a frequent guest – often with fellow-psy-chic Ralph Hurst – on the South Surrey-based Shaw Cable com-

munity access show Date With Destiny, hosted by Pat Kilt.

He was also involved with com-munity theatre, as a volunteer

for White Rock Players Club and as an actor for the Candlelighters and the Langley Play-ers in the mid-1980s, including productions of There Goes The Bride and I Never Sang For My Father.

Others knew him as a one-time boating enthu-siast and a fan of old British car makes who

had once owned MG and Tri-umph sports cars.

But it was as a crossing guard

that he was best known in recent years, said his son, Adrian.

“He loved the kids – he really got a lot of joy out of seeing the kids’ smiles every morning,” he said. “That was his big reward.”

Born in London, England, he had studied as a draughtsman before emigrating to Canada at the age of 23, but subsequently went into a career selling store fixtures.

He, and his ex-wife, Marion, have two children, Adrian and Natalie, and three granddaugh-ters – with another grandchild on the way.

A Celebration of Life will be held Tuesday, Aug. 18 at 7 p.m. at White Rock Community Centre.

Nick GreenizanSports Reporter

Revenge will have to wait for members of the White Rock All-Stars baseball team.

Heading into Canadian Little League Championships – currently underway in suburban Ottawa – White Rock head coach Bob Cum-iskey joked that his team of 12-year-olds would try to atone for a loss two years ago at nationals, at which the White Rock team of the day lost in the championship game to a team from East Nepean Little League (Ontario).

It was the first loss of the entire summer for that White Rock team, while the Ontario club moved on to represent Canada at the Little

League World Series in Williams-port, Pa.

On Saturday, the two cities squared off once again, and for a second time, White Rock ended up on the losing end, falling 6-5 to their eastern rivals.

The loss dropped the All-Stars’ record to 1-1 at the nationals, having opened the tournament Friday with a resounding 14-0 win over Mon-treal’s Notre Dame de Grace Lynx.

White Rock didn’t stay with a .500 record for long, however, as the team rebounded Sunday with a 22-1 shellacking of Nova Scotia’s Glace Bay Colonels.

Against East Nepean, the B.C. team took a 1-0 lead in the sec-ond inning, before both team’s bats

came alive in the third. In the top half of the inning, the

host Ontario team plated five runs, and White Rock replied with four of their own, led by a home run from Trent Linehan.

The game stayed knotted at 5-5 until the fifth frame, when East Nepean scored one run, after a series of singles.

In Sunday’s win over Glace Bay, the runs came fast and furious for the B.C. champs. White Rock scored six runs in the first inning, and plated no less than three in the ensuing innings until the mercy rule was invoked in the fourth.

Matthew Wilkinson led the offen-sive barrage for White Rock, with two home runs and six runs-bat-

ted-in, while Darius Opdam Bak and Alec McDonald also hit round-trippers.

Opdam Bak earned the win on the mound for White Rock, striking out seven in just two-and-two-thirds innings. Taeo Masonville pitched the final inning and a third, striking out three of the six batters he faced.

Offence was in no short supply in White Rock’s opening tilt Friday, either, in the five-inning shutout victory over Notre Dame.

White Rock leapt out to a big lead early, scoring five runs in the first inning, and then tagged their Quebec competitors with seven more runs in the third frame. They extended their lead in the fifth, with two more runs before the game

ended. Offensively, White Rock was led

by shortstop Kole Turner, who went 2-for-3 with a home run and four runs-batted-in, while Wilkinson had three hits, including a double.

Opdam Bak, Marcus Bradley and Turner also had doubles in the win.

White Rock played their fourth game – against Manitoba’s Moose Jaw All-Stars – Tuesday after Peace Arch News’ deadline.

The event continues throughout the week, with round-robin games scheduled until Thursday. Playoff rounds begin Saturday, with the championship final set for Sunday.

The winner of Sunday’s fina heads immediately to the Little League World Series.

White Rock Little Leaguers win twice in Ontario

Podium finishes for Storm, Heat, Renegades fastpitch squads

Surrey, White Rock teams top nationalsRick Kupchuk & Nick GreenizanSports Reporters

Local softball teams dominated the compe-tition at national championships across the country last weekend, winning titles from Victoria to Montreal.

Three teams – the Delta Heat ’97, White Rock Renegades ’97 and the Surrey Storm – finished first through third at U18 Women’s Canadian Fastpitch Championships, sweep-ing the podium at the, 21-team tournament.

Meanwhile, in Calgary, the White Rock Renegades ’99 captured national crown, and the Surrey Storm 2001A completed an unde-feated run through playoffs by winning a U14 Canadian title in Victoria.

Renegades edgedIn Montreal, Delta Heat ’97 edged the White

Rock Renegades ’97 Sunday afternoon in the championship game to win the gold medal, just hours after eliminating the Surrey Storm in a bronze medal game. The Renegades, unbeaten until Sunday, were awarded silver.

“There’s a lot of good coaches and all the girls definitely work very hard at it because they love the game,” said Heat coach Steve Couper of the B.C. sweep of the medals.

The Heat ’97 topped the White Rock Ren-egades 5-3 in an entertaining championship game that saw the lead change hands three times and the teams combine for 21 hits.

“I give the Heat a lot of credit, they played very well,” said Renegades head coach Mark Dunlop. “But there were a couple of hits there that were Texas Leaguers, they were just drop-ping in. We just didn’t get the bounces today.”

The Heat took a quick 1-0 lead when Taylor Woodward singled to lead off the game, scor-ing on a Renegades error.

White Rock came back in the bottom half of the inning, scoring twice with two out. Chel-sea Hotner scored on a Sophia Gray single, and one batter later, Abbey Fortin’s hit to the Delta outfield was mishandled allowing River Johnson to score from second base.

The 2-1 Renegades lead lasted until the fourth inning. The Heat had four hits, includ-ing an RBI single by Rae Samuelson to tie the game. A Renegades error allowed Jordan-Britten Yung to put Delta up 3-2.

The Heat committed a pair of infield errors in the fifth inning, the first allowing Taylor Uyeno to get on base, the second permitting her to score.

Three more Delta hits in the sixth inning scored the winning and insurance runs.

The Renegades handed the Heat their lone loss Saturday night, the 2-0 win sending White Rock directly to Sunday’s champion-ship game. Each team had five hits, with the Renegades getting three of theirs in the bot-tom of the first inning to score the game’s only two runs. An RBI single by Johnson and a sacrifice fly by Abbey Fortin that scored Shae-lyn Ogilvie gave the Renegades all the offence they needed. Wright pitched a shutout with five strikeouts.

The Storm were overwhelmed by the Heat in Sunday’s semifinal, outhit 15-1 over five innings in an 8-0 loss.

Extra-inning win For Ted Birdsall’s White Rock Renegades

team, the third time was the charm. Sunday in Calgary, the Renegades ’99 won

their first national title in three attempts, defeating Ontario’s Guelph Gators 6-5 in the championship game.

White Rock – which competed at peewee nationals in 2013 and at bantam nationals as first-year players last year – needed extra innings to close out the Gators, winning the game in the 11th inning when Tori Peterson – who reached base on an error – scored on a single from Hailey Lemon.

The win over Guelph was White Rock’s sec-ond in as many days, having beat the Ontario squad Saturday – a victory that sent the Rene-gades directly into the finals, while relegating the Gators to the consolation bracket, from which they clawed back into the title game after a string of wins Sunday.

Storm roll to titleThe Surrey Storm 2001A captured the

Canadian U14 championship Sunday, after a

2-1 extra-innings win over Delta Heat 2001.The Storm – who won a provincial title last

month, without losing a game – stayed per-fect at nationals, which were held in Victoria Aug. 5-9.

Surrey rolled through the round-robin portion of the tournament with six straight victories, then tallied playoff victories over Ontario’s Waterloo Ghosts, 10-5, and the host Victoria Devils, 7-0, before squaring off against Delta in the final.

In the title game, Surrey took a slim 1-0 lead into the seventh inning, but the Heat tied the game on a Storm error, sending the game to extra innings. In the ninth, Surrey’s Rachel Drewitt led off with a single, and then with two outs, a single from Kianna Jones scored Drewitt to win the game.

“It was a great way to end a pretty magical year for us,” Storm head coach Mark Riske said.

“We’re really thrilled.”
