Little League champs

Undefeated and bound for Ottawa Alex BrowneStaff Reporter

The White Rock All Stars have punched their ticket to Ottawa and a place in the Little League Cana-dian Nationals.

The undefeated 12-and-under team kept their season’s record intact with a 7-1 win over second-place New Westminster, Monday evening at Vancouver’s South Memorial Park.

The convincing victory sends the White Rock South Surrey Baseball Association squad to the nationals, which run Aug. 6-16, with the win-ner of that contest earning the right to compete in the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa.

“It was a pretty tight game, despite what the score was,” said Ed Bak, father of No. 6 Darius – who pitched the winning game – adding that it was a contest char-acterized by a lot of base hits and no home runs for either team.

“In the first inning, New West was up to bat first. At one point they had bases loaded with nobody out – it was looking pretty dicey.”

The All Stars have made it to Williamsport before – in 2007 and 2008 – although the world title eluded them both times. The team returned to the nationals in Nova Scotia in 2013, only to fall to Ontario, one game shy of making the World Series.

Three large-scale development projects proposed for White Rock have been sent back to the drawing board for revisions following a standing-room-only Advisory Design Panel meeting last week.

The meeting July 21 marked the first time members of council and the public were able to see the specific development applications,

one of which has been the subject of debate and, more recently, a petition against it.

The proposed projects include a 12-storey, 36-unit residential development at 14825 and 14835 Thrift Ave.; a 12-storey, 17-unit residential development at Oxford Street and Thrift Avenue; and two towers (21 and 24 storeys) with 121 units at 1454 Oxford St.

The latter development is the subject of a 1,200-signature petition by neighbouring

residents who oppose the project, saying it is out of character for the neighbourhood.

All three proposals would require Official Community Plan amendments and rezon-ing, but first will have to appear before the Advisory Design Panel for a second time, according to Karen Cooper, the city’s direc-tor of planning and development.

Proponents faced a number of questions and concerns throughout the three-hour

review meeting, and were asked to make several adjustments to their applications before returning for a subsequent review.

Among issues the developers were asked to consider, for the 14825 Thrift Ave. project – proposed by Forge Properties Inc. – were relocation of the hydro lines underground, potential impacts and relationships with neighbouring developments, the complexity

A humpback whale rescued off the west coast of Vancouver Island Friday was in worse condition than any entangled whale Paul Cottrell has seen in his years with Fisheries and Oceans Canada.

“He is in tough shape,” Cottrell, a South Surrey resident, said Monday of the juvenile animal he cut loose over the course of about four hours Friday evening.

“You could tell it was emaciated.”Cottrell, who is the Pacific marine mammal

co-ordinator for DFO – and directed activities around last Wednesday’s highly publicized orca rescue in Hartley Bay – got word of the distressed humpback late Thursday from Brian Gisborne, a researcher contracted by the federal agency who spotted it off of Nitinat and Carmanah Point while conducting a grey-whale survey.

Friday, Cottrell, 49, joined fishery officers

in Victoria and, supported by Parks Canada, headed out to look for the animal, arriving in the area around noon.

After about five discouraging hours, they found it – wrapped in “long-line” commercial gear, including ropes, buoys and even a steel pole.

“We had to get multiple cuts to get it off. It was so far into the blubber… this animal’s going to have major scarring.”

Surrey RCMP investigating the rob-bery earlier this month of Westmin-ster Savings in South Surrey have released photos of a man sought in connection with the crime.

The incident occurred around 12:15 p.m. July 13, at the 1608 152 St. finan-cial institution.

No weapon was produced and no one was injured, however, the suspect fled the scene before police arrived.

He is described as a five-foot-10, 200-pound man, approximately 25 years old, with tattoos across the knuckles of his left hand. He was

wearing a dark-coloured New York Yankees hat with pinstripes, a grey/beige-coloured shirt with “G Unit and Co” across the back, grey shorts and white shoes.

“Good surveillance photos were obtained and we are hopeful some-one will recognize the suspect,” Cpl. Scotty Schumann said in a statement issued July 23.

Anyone with information on the man’s identity is asked to police at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or www.solvecrime.ca, and quote file #2015-99631.

news‘Nuisance’ structure ordered to be dismantled, as church leader vows human-rights complaint

White Rock rejects final plea from pastor

Serpentine marsh drained to battle non-native species

Dry spell offers relief to fen stewards

‘Good numbers’ eyed

Water-use restrictions don’t let upJeff NagelBlack Press

A combination of cool, rainy weather over the weekend and Metro Vancouver’s move to tough stage 3 water restrictions appear to have sharply cut water consump-tion in the region.

The region had set a target of cut-ting water use to no more than 1.2 billion litres of water per day when stage 3 – including a complete ban on lawn sprinkling – was declared July 20. (White Rock water restric-tions remained on stage 1, as the city has a separate water source.)

Metro usage – which includes Sur-rey – fell from 1.48 billion that day to the 1.2 billion target Thursday.

As wet weather arrived and fewer residents felt the need to water plants, the numbers dropped fur-ther – to 1.05 billion Friday, 1.02 bil-lion Saturday and 1.0 billion Sunday.

“Those are good numbers,” Metro water utilities committee chair Darrell Mussatto said. “We’ve had three good days of cooler weather and people making the adjustment – respecting stage 3.”

But he cautioned there are no plans to relax the restrictions – the toughest Metro has imposed in 12 years – and he urged residents to remain vigilant.

“We don’t want to be complacent,” Mussatto said. “The reservoirs need much more water than we received on the weekend to get them into a good healthy operating range.”

He estimated 100 millimetres 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 tradi-tionally the driest part of the year.”


The City of White Rock is standing firm in its call for a makeshift church structure on Marine Drive to be dismantled by the end of the week, following a reconsideration hear-ing Monday morning.

Council voted unanimously for the opera-tions at the Church of the Holy Smoke to be ceased and the structure cleared by July 31, following an appeal by Robin Douglas, pastor of the marijuana-centred organization.

“All we’re asking is for more time so that we can find a proper home,” Douglas told council Monday, pointing out he and his supporters have “tried to do everything we possibly can to help alleviate any problems.”

Douglas has been operating his church for four months out of a tent structure in the 14700-block of Marine Drive as a gathering place for people to come and smoke mari-juana. Following complaints by at least one neighbour and a series of fines levied by the city, council voted July 13 to declare the struc-ture a “nuisance” and order its removal. The city scheduled a reconsideration hearing July 20 to allow Douglas an opportunity to appeal,

then, at Douglas’s request that morning – and only after seeking the advice of legal counsel – gave the pastor another week to prepare.

Karen Cooper, the city’s director of plan-ning and development services, told council Monday that she had visited the site earlier that morning and had observed that garbage had been removed and that the two tent structures had been reduced to one.

In recommending a resolution for the

operations to be ceased and the structure cleared, Cooper noted the tent’s use was still not in line with city bylaws and safety requirements.

“The main issue is the public safety and the use of the property as an assembly place is in contravention of the bylaw,” Cooper said.

In his submission to council, Douglas alleged the city had used “coercion tac-tics” in order to have him evicted from the Marine Drive property, including threaten-ing his landlord with fines if he didn’t termi-nate tenancy.

Douglas attempted to play council a video on his cellphone, in which his landlord alleg-edly admitted to being threatened with fines, however, Mayor Wayne Baldwin interjected after a few minutes, calling the video “illeg-ible” and attempting to steer the discussion back to Douglas and his church structure.

“We’re here to listen to your reasons why you can’t have the site cleared out by July 31,” Baldwin said.

Douglas responded that he felt the gather-ing place meets city bylaw standards and has garnered a large amount of support from the community, with the exception of “one or

two neighbours who have a problem with it.” “This is not about the structure, it’s about

who we are as a church,” Douglas said. After council voted to give Douglas a July

31 deadline to have the structure removed, Baldwin commented on Douglas having parked his vehicle in front of city hall in a spot designated for disabled persons.

“Can I suggest in the future that you not park in the handicapped spot as you are right now?” Baldwin said, to which Douglas replied that he had a sticker in his car.

“It’s not evident,” Baldwin responded. Following Monday’s meeting, Douglas told

Peace Arch News he will not comply with the city’s orders to take down the tent, although he will not resist should the city forcibly remove it after the July 31 deadline.

He said he plans to contact the attorney general’s office to find out if there is an appeal process with the province that he can embark on, and also plans to file a complaint against the city under the Human Rights Act.

“I’m done playing nice with the City of White Rock,” Douglas said. “They’ve stepped on the toes of their citizens and they have got to be held accountable for what they’ve done.”

Low water levels in the Serpentine Fen are not a result of the current water shortage – but they were inspired by it.

That’s the message from Ducks Unlimited conservation program specialist Justin Quong, who says the water level in the east marsh has been deliberately dropped in hopes it would end – or at least help fight – the rapid spread of an invasive plant species in the fen.

“The current drought makes it a little more possible to drain the area,” he said Friday.

He said the South American ‘parrot feather

plant’ (myriophyllum aquaticum) – often used in aquariums and garden ponds – has been taking hold in the marsh over the last two years, edging out other foliage that provides food for migratory waterfowl species.

“Whether by accident or on purpose, it’s been getting into the natural environment,” he said.

“We get a lot of people dumping baby turtles, so maybe it came with them.”

Ducks Unlimited partners with the provin-cial Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations to manage the fen, and has the ability to raise and lower water levels through a system of berms and concrete walls,

Quong said.Unfortunately, parrot feather, while not a

food source for the migratory species, is very aggressive in taking over from other plants that are, he said.

It’s hoped that by lowering the water level in the east marsh – which has been happen-ing over the past month – and exposing the invasive species to the sun, the problem will be minimized before it can spread to other areas of the fen, Quong said.

“By drying it out, we hope to get some con-trol over it,” he added, noting that the water level in the marsh is still being reduced.

Evan Seal photoConservationists believe an invasive plant may have been introduced to Serpentine Fen by people abandoning baby turtles into the wild.

of the design, size and orientation of decks, more open space and an overall refinement of design.

The Thrift Avenue and Oxford Street project – proposed by MPW Projects Ltd. – was asked to reconsider having a smaller tower with the same density, accessibility, replacement of trees and geothermal energy potential.

The 1454 Oxford St. develop-ment – proposed by Elegant Developments on land currently owned by Epcor, the city’s water utility – faced concerns, including the location of the two towers, the

possibility of other built forms (such as three smaller towers), tree retention and reduction of “mas-siveness” and accessibility.

Monday, Cooper highlighted the situation the city’s planning department faces with proposals requiring OCP amendments at a time when the OCP is already under review for an update.

Given that all three proposals were asked to make changes and return to the design panel, Cooper suggested the city continue with the process and assess in the fall whether revised applications fit the new OCP direction.

After discussion, council caused confusion amongst the packed gallery by voting to adopt Coo-per’s recommendation. Unaware that a motion had been tabled, some viewers called out for clari-fication, however, none was given.

Coun. Grant Meyer confirmed to Peace Arch News Tuesday that he had “moved recommenda-tion” at some point during dis-cussion, however, review of the city’s online video stream could not determine when the motion was tabled, and phone calls to city staff for clarification were not returned by PAN deadline.

Cottrell said the whale rescue was the fourth in five weeks; a fifth entanglement was reported, but efforts to locate the animal were unsuccessful. If the trend continues, 2015 will be a record year for the incidents, he said.

“It’s awful to see,” Cottrell said.He noted the task of

disentangling whales is highly specialized, because of the danger involved.

“People in other parts of the world have died,” he said, noting whales weigh approximately one ton per foot of length. “Just the sheer power of this animal, you have to be so careful… have a good understanding of the behaviour of the animals.

“Sometimes, they can turn on you, not realizing you’re trying to help.”

Cottrell, who has been involved in whale rescues for about seven

years, is one of just a few worldwide who are trained to remove the gear, and is one of two Canadians on a 15-member global disentanglement network led by the International Whaling Commission.

“If I get a particularly tough case, I’ll be on the phone or online with these 15 guys.”

Cottrell described fishery officers as key to his success in any whale rescue, and Friday was no exception. Parks Canada provided the support vessel, he added.

Timely reporting of distressed animals is also critical, he said, encouraging anyone who spots an animal trailing gear to immediately call the 24-hour B.C. Marine Mammal Incident hotline, at 1-800-465-4336.

Regarding the freed humpback, Cottrell said he is “cautiously optimistic” about its future. The animal’s progress will be closely monitored, he said.

Based on the damage, Cottrell estimated the animal became entangled six months to a year ago.

It was obvious the humpback was relieved to be free of the fishing gear.

“The animal immediately had a burst of energy,” he said. “We followed him for a bit, we could tell immediately he was doing a lot better.”

Cottrell said efforts will be made to track where the fishing gear that was wrapped around it originated, noting it’s believed it came from the U.S., and possibly from as far away as Hawaii.

One man died and a woman suffered serious injuries Saturday, when a vehicle westbound on 8 Avenue collided with the motorcycle they were riding eastbound.

According to police, the westbound Saturn, driven by a 45-year-old North Vancouver man, was turning left onto 172 Street when the collision occurred around 9 p.m. July 25.

The motorcyclist – a 32-year-old Langley man – was pronounced dead at the scene. His passenger, a 22-year-old Surrey woman, was airlifted to hospital in critical condition.

Speed and alcohol are not believed to have contributed to the collision.

Surrey RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann said it will likely be “months” before investigators

determine if charges are warranted.

“We’ll be doing a fulsome investigation,” Schumann said.

Police closed 8 Avenue between 176 and Highway 99 for several hours Saturday to investigate.

Anyone who witnessed the collision or saw either vehicle prior to it, is asked to contact RCMP at 604-599-0502.

This is not about politics. This is about children who need our protection.

Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux (MLA for Surrey-Cloverdale) says an independent and unbiased review is needed in a case where the ministry left four children in the unsupervised care of a sexually-abusive father.

She’s right – terribly right – but perhaps the word ‘review’ is not nearly strong enough.

Whatever the justifications or excuses offered, her ministry ultimately failed these children. And the ministry’s failure is also, ultimately, our failure as a society.

In 2009, Supreme Court Justice Paul Walker accepted evidence that the father had physically and sexually abused the three eldest children in awarding sole custody to their mother.

In spite of that ruling, ministry staff permitted the father unsupervised access.

The father subsequently went ahead and did what he might have been expected to do – sexually abuse the youngest child.

Just as we have zero tolerance for crimes that outrage our sensibilities, there can be no excuse for bureaucrats ignoring a Supreme Court ruling and turning over four children – children they were supposed to protect – to the hands of an abuser already noted as such in court evidence.

In his second ruling on the case, released last week, Walker took staff to task for “having a closed mind” and concluding – even before the children were interviewed – that there was no merit to the original sexual-abuse allegations, and that the mother had concocted them and coached the children on what to say.

Perhaps, as NDP Leader John Horgan suggests, Representative for Children and Youth Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond would be a better choice to compel testimony. Cadieux’s appointment of former children’s ministry deputy Bob Plecas to do the review – given that he has said it will be “non-threatening” and won’t consider individual culpability – smacks less of fact-gathering than is needed.

Whatever comes of this exercise, the fact remains that we – and the system we maintain – were not there when the children needed us.

We – and the ministry – don’t simply need to learn from this; we need to, collectively, hang our heads in shame.

known to pop down to border towns to load up a van with U.S. milk, taking advantage of a price difference generated by our “supply management” system.

The recent slide in the Canadian dollar reduces this pressure in the short term, but the fact remains that dairy producers are propped up in Canada. And that’s increasingly a problem as Canada pursues entry into the Trans Pacific Partnership. With the U.S., Japan, Australia, New Zealand and other countries involved, it would form the largest trading bloc in the world.

Canada uses tariffs of up to 300 per cent to protect its dairy and poultry industries from foreign imports, and the higher price on milk and eggs is a burden that falls most heavily on the poor.

The industry group Dairy Farmers of Canada and others argue that reducing or removing Canada’s import protection won’t change the huge farm subsidies paid by European and U.S. governments. The recent trade agreement between

Canada and the European Union has already chipped away at this protection.

The Conservative government is tiptoeing on this issue as a fall election

approaches, with rural seats across the country at stake. But the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand have deregulated their dairy industries, and the Canadian industry is already facing increased cheese imports due to the European Union agreement.

It’s an issue to watch as the federal election heats up. The NDP has positioned itself as a defender of supply management, a particularly touchy issue in rural Quebec, while the federal Liberals are committed to keeping up with the U.S. and

joining the Trans-Pacific Partnership.The trend toward freer trade is broad

and long. The Harper government ended the monopoly of the Canadian Wheat Board in 2012, and grain growers continue to compete globally. A trade deal with Korea saw tariffs come off Korean import vehicles, and life goes on.

Another controlled and protected commodity that is seldom discussed is logs. That’s changed with the push for the Trans Pacific Partnership, as

Japan protests federal and provincial restrictions that push up the export cost.

Ottawa regulates the export of private-land logs, but only in B.C. This is a long-standing irritant for private-land owners, holding the domestic price for premium “J grade” Douglas fir logs below $80 per cubic metre while the price in Asia and Washington state has climbed above $100.

The U.S. has long complained about B.C.’s cheap Crown land stumpage and low domestic log prices in general, viewing them as a subsidy to lumber production.

Indeed, this whole protection apparatus is designed to stimulate domestic milling, although it doesn’t seem to be working. The main investment by B.C. forest companies recently has been buying southern U.S. sawmills.

The coastal industry has maintained that profits from log exports are keeping logging alive, paying for the harvest and processing of logs in B.C.

With Pacific trade talks in the background, pushed hard by U.S. President Barack Obama, the latest Canada-U.S. lumber agreement is due to expire in October. It will be more difficult to defend what University of Alberta economist Jack Mintz calls a “Soviet-style approach to price determination.”

B.C. used to do something similar to this with wine, protecting a backward industry cranking out mostly god-awful plonk. Competition made the wine industry better, and now it’s world class.

lettersPeace Arch NewsPeace Arch News

Volume of constructionEditor:

What is the statute of limitations on noise pollution?

It has been 10 years, and I am still listening to the sound of construction in my neighbourhood.

Where is the peace on a Saturday morning, when thoughtless builders start tossing lumber at 7:20 a.m.?

The City of Surrey’s noise bylaw needs revising. It is pro-development and does not care about the quality of life for residents. The hours of construction are 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. six days a week. Therefore Sunday is the only day this entire summer that I can hear the birds in the morning or sit on my deck with a coffee.

I try to be away from my home as much as possible, which is sad when the weather is so nice. Not only is there construction noise but loud music blasting all afternoon, too.

I could move, but currently in South Surrey there is nowhere to go. Almost every neighbourhood is tearing down perfectly good homes and the construction is rampant.

What a strange time to live in, where spec developers buy up decent homes and rip them down so they can make big money, then only the wealthy few can purchase. Our landfills are full and this is wasteful.

It probably won’t end for another 10 or 20 years, when every house built in the ’70s and up is levelled and giant McMansions sit in their place.Caroline McCue-Davies, Surrey

Water calls not their priorityEditor:

I have seen several sprinkling violations in my area of South Surrey, namely between 160 and 172 streets, from Mountain View Drive to 24 Avenue.

I finally got mad enough to call the city bylaws department. This is a complete exercise in futility. To state that you get the runaround is an understatement. You get transferred around in a circle, as if you were handing them a hot potato.

My observation is that the emphasis is on parking violators at local hospitals, where you are a cash cow for the city as you get a medical procedure done or you are visiting a sick loved one.

Meanwhile, Delta has empowered their bylaw officer with the power to issue $400 tickets to violators!

What is Surrey doing, with 800 warnings issued, only four fines levied, and the amount of the fine is not disclosed?

(Editor’s note: As of last week, Surrey handed out four $250-fines, but said more were expected now that stage 3 water-use restrictions had been announced by Metro Vancouver.)

I am very disappointed with our new mayor and council. As the second largest city in the Lower Mainland, our draw on the water resource is significant and we need to step up and do better.Robin Ballard, Surrey

Confidence in police at stakeEditor:Re: Man killed in struggle with officers, July 22.

Having worn a uniform for more than 20 years, albeit military and not law enforcement, it now causes me great concern to see the evolving cynicism of the public regarding the law-enforcement officers entrusted to their protection.

The circumstances surrounding the tragic death of Hudson Brooks must be investigated quickly to restore confidence in the local RCMP. The Independent Investigations Office must rapidly and accurately review the events and provide both the public and the deceased man’s family an assessment of what occurred.

It will be unacceptable for this review to be protracted or vague.

The laws surrounding the use of lethal force must be effectively applied in this case.

Furthermore, the use of firearms is appropriate only in ‘self-defense, to confront armed perpetrators or in defense of persons or key facilities’. If, as appears to be the case, the dead man was not armed, then this does not seem applicable.

Moreover, it appears that organized crime and terrorism are not applicable in this instance.

The federal Criminal Code and RCMP Act apply in this situation, although Canada is also a signatory to the United Nations’ Code of Conduct for Law Enforcement Officials, which provides that “Law enforcement officials may use force only when strictly necessary and to the extent required for the performance of their duty.”

The IIO must balance the events that unfolded on July 18.

It was noted, in a 2002 comparative research project by Philip C. Stenning, in an SFU presentation, that “prosecutions of police officers for excessive or unjustified use of force have been very rare in Canada.”

Nonetheless, if there has been an application of disproportionate

force then the IIO must make that deliberation and restore public confidence in their ability to accurately review cases, but more importantly reassure the local population in its uniformed officers.David Hutchinson, Surrey

I’m deeply troubled by the police shooting death of Hudson Brooks.

I don’t know the boy or his family – only what I’ve heard or read.

I generally support the police, knowing they have a difficult job that becomes ever more complicated, but it’s a sad comment on our society that they feel traumatized enough to take the life of an unarmed 20-year-old, no matter the provocation he may have given them.

This killing shouldn’t have happened. Whether the police involved were poorly screened, inadequately trained or inexperienced, this death should not have happened.

I hope the facts of the case come out swiftly, fully and publicly and responsibility taken for what I can only call a crime.Cary O’Malley, Surrey

Melissa Smalley photoOngoing and proposed changes to ’privatize’ garbage collection in the City of White Rock meet with mixed reaction.

Editor:Re: Feeling dumped by White Rock, July 17 letters.

As I read the comments regarding the recent privatization of garbage pickup for multifamily residences, I was reminded of the prognostications offered by White Rock citizens last spring.

We suggested roads and laneways would be clogged with a multiplicity of noisy garbage haulers; that some might take the opportunity to avoid privatization by throwing their trash where others must deal with it; we suggested that this would come with increased expense.

Council chose not to heed our reasonable proposal to find one garbage hauler on all of our behalves.

I am also reminded of my late grandmother, the mistress of aphorisms. Two of her favourites were: ‘chickens always come home to roost’ and ‘you reap what you sow’. Her all time favourite, however, when she was most aggrieved was: ‘I told you so’.Theresa Reilkoff, White Rock

It is nice to know that some of the residents in other areas of White Rock now know what the East Beach residents go through with the garbage transfer station – which is there illegally – in our location.

We listen to noisy trucks, backhoe operator, street cleaner, squawking crows and seagulls; vermin; smell and breath diesel fumes, rotting garden/kitchen waste in open bins day after day, after day.

We would very much like the single-family garbage tendered out so that we may get back to our quality of life as well (Residents brace for impending change, July 3).

Just how healthy is it for us to be breathing this day after day? Many residents in the area now have very bad allergies and I wonder why.

We totally agree that the single-family residents should have joined in with the commercial, multifamily at the same time to get a good price with perhaps a good provider for all the garbage services.

The garbage, green/garden waste and recycling should not be brought back to the White Rock public works yard to be sorted. This a beautiful ‘City by the Sea’ with many tourists. Please, council members, let us have a normal life like the other residents of White Rock.Betty Skahl, White Rock

As day after day I watch the garbage trucks going up and down our street – which is lined from beginning to end with three-storey apartment buildings – I am confounded by the number of garbage trucks serving the various buildings and wonder how this could possibly be profitable to the companies.

There appear to be three main ones – Smithrite, Northwest and Maple Leaf, and to my surprise, two different sized trucks from the City of White Rock also serve one apartment building on the street.

I note, too, that most trucks stop on the road while making their pickups, making it hazardous to go around them into the on-coming traffic lane since there is no line-of-sight from behind the trucks.

One hopes that a more efficient system of garbage collection can be figured out.Merrill Muttart, White Rock

Waste-management quandaries


Kevin DiakiwBlack Press

A court has rejected a defence that Surrey’s Gloria Zerbinos can’t be found criminally responsible for the stabbing death of her mother.

Zerbinos, 30, is on trial for the

second-degree murder of her 43-year-old mother, Panagiota “Yota” Zerbinos.

Justice Frits Verhoeven combed over the findings of two doctors as well as the testimony of police and witnesses to come to his con-

clusion in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westmin-ster Thursday.

To determine that the accused was not criminally responsible due to mental defect, Verhoeven had to

find that she was men-tally ill, and incapable of telling right from wrong at the time of the offence.

“(There’s) no objec-tive evidence she did not have the capacity to understand her actions,” Verhoeven said. “I’m not satisfied that she is not criminally responsible.”

Zerbinos had claimed on several occasions that men were sneaking into her room and using chlo-roform on the family and “pimping” her and her son.

According to her claims, they were gaining access from the closet and through electrical outlets.

While psychiatrists agreed there was some sort of delusional abnor-

mality present, there is no proof it was active at the time of the killing.

In fact, witness testimony indi-cated Zerbinos appeared con-trolled following the stabbing.

Verhoeven said that raised doubt that she was experiencing psycho-sis at the time. He also pointed to a long history of acrimony shown toward her mother.

“At the time of her death, she (Yota) was afraid of being alone with her daughter.”

Nonetheless, she went to her daughter’s basement suite, near 88 Avenue and 148A Street, to drop off clean laundry on Nov. 8, 2012.

Panagiota Zerbinos was found with 24 stab wounds and a knife sticking out of her chest. Her daughter was arrested two days later at a strip club in Vancouver.

The trial is to continue Aug. 6.

A man wanted in California for an alleged crime against a minor was arrested at the Peace Arch border crossing last month.

According to a news release issued July 20 by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, a name check on a Canada-bound travel-ler revealed the individual was the subject of a National Criminal Information Center warrant for “crimes against person – possess

obscene matter minor.”Outstanding warrants were veri-

fied with the Riverside County Sheriff ’s Office, the news release notes. CPB officials could not clarify the offence, noting the ter-minology comes from California law.

Ronald Rowan, 50, was turned over to Whatcom County Sher-iff ’s Office on June 19 for extradi-tion.

Acting Area Port Director Terry Schulze said the arrest “typifies the close and professional work-ing relationship among the north-ern border law enforcement agen-cies in Washington and British Columbia.”

“CBP is proud of this bond which helps us perform our secu-rity mission to protect the Ameri-can homeland.”

Tom FletcherBlack Press

VICTORIA – One of the architects of B.C.’s children’s ministry has been brought back in to review its procedures after a court case revealed four children were left in the care of their abusive father.

Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux – MLA for Surrey-Cloverdale) announced Friday that former deputy minister Bob Plecas will lead the review of the case and recommend changes by October.

In his second ruling on the case, released last week, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Paul Walker found the ministry was negligent in the decision to allow the father unsupervised access to the children. In a 2009 ruling awarding sole custody to the mother, Walker accepted evidence that the father had physically and sexually abused the older three children.

Despite that order, the ministry permitted the father unsupervised access, allowing him to sexually abuse the youngest child. None of the family members is publicly identified.

“A key feature of the Director’s (of Child Welfare) conduct in this case is that she and many of her agents approached the case in front of them with

a closed mind, having concluded at a very early stage, before the children were interviewed, that there was no merit to the sexual abuse allegations and that (the mother) had fabricated them and had coached her children to make their disclosures,” Walker wrote in a 341-page judgment.

Plecas said he will not be considering individual misconduct of ministry staff involved, who have been reassigned while the review is ongoing.

“I think people will speak with me because it’s a non-threatening exercise,” he said.

Cadieux said an unbiased review is needed because of the “many significant and disturbing

assertions about staff conduct” in the ruling. The government has not decided whether to appeal.

NDP Leader John Horgan said the terms of Plecas’s review do not allow him to look at the conduct of the minister and senior staff, and his report goes to Cadieux. He said Representative for Children and Youth Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond has the independence and authority to compel testimony of all concerned.

“I think they don’t want to get to the bottom of this,” Horgan said.

Ed Griffin, founder of the Sur-rey International Writers Confer-ence, has died.

Griffin, who had been battling cancer, died at Surrey Memorial Hospital Thursday at age 78 from complications of a recent stroke.

A former priest, U.S. city coun-cillor and social worker, Griffin had a deep passion for writing.

In the early 1990s, he went to a writers conference in Seattle and thought Surrey could easily sup-port such an event.

In 1993, he started the first Sur-rey International Writers Con-ference. With about 100 people

showing up the first year, the numbers grew steadily and now amount to thousands. It is now one of the most popular writers’ confer-ences in North America, and in 2012, the City of Surrey named him a Civic Treasure.

In 2001, Griffin com-pleted his first book, Beyond the Vows. The main protagonist, JP Lacey, is a priest con-flicted by his calling and a world mired in injustice. That priest is based on Griffin’s life.

Prior to writing that book, he was going to Matsqui Prison to

teach inmates the art of writing. Griffin went on to write Prison-

ers of Willowaw, about 300 prisoners released onto Adak Island, in the Aleutians off Alaska. Besides being a rich description with well-developed characters, Griffin managed to use it as a critique of our cur-rent prison system.

Griffin once said if there’s a theme to his life and books, it’s a fight for

social justice.Griffin’s family is planning a

party in his honour. A date and place has not been announced.

Butterfly releaseA butterfly release has raised

more than $1,000 in support of Peace Arch Hospital

On Friday, resi-dents at Peninsula Retirement Resi-dence – along with family members, staff and other supporters from the commu-nity – presented the Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation with a cheque for

$1,100.The donation comes as a result

of a July 3 butterfly release, in which butterflies were purchased

for $10 each, and then released into the garden at the South Surrey retire-ment residence.

The butterfly release was the sec-ond one for the Pen-

insula Retirement Residence, and has now become an annual tradition.

Hospice boostedThe White Rock South Surrey

Hospice Society received a boost from the local chapter of CARP earlier this month, when they were given a cheque for $350.

The donation was raised from partial proceeds of CARP’s June 17 forum entitled Dying to Have a Conversation: Let’s Talk About End of Life Issues, a sold-out event that featured speakers dis-cussing physician-assisted sui-cide.

Hope For Chronic Knee Pain

Conditions Treated: Osteoarthritis Hand and Wrist Pain Internal Scar Tissue Rotator Cu Injury Neck Pain Back Pain Knee Pain Plantar Fasciitis Achilles Tendonitis After Surgery or Injury Golfers or Tennis Elbow (Epicondylitis) and other musculoskeletal conditions

The Team at Solaj Physical Therapies: Maria, Morgan, Doctor Mel, Mary Ann, Samantha

Chronic knee pain can be debilitating, di cult to diagnose and often even more di cult to solve.

David has been running, both competitively and recreationally, for his entire life. He has completed multiple marathons and long distance events, and is very passionate about the sport.

Quite a number of years ago, David started experiencing knee pain that a ected his ability to run. His doctor suggested surgery on his knees to remove debris from behind his kneecaps that may have been the cause of his pain. So David went through with the procedure, in the hope that it would reduce his knee pain.

Unfortunately, the surgery didn’t put an end to his knee pain. Eventually it became just too much to bear, so he reduced his running. But to stay active, while also reducing the stress on his knees, he

took up cycling and tness training. However, even with these lower impact activities, David found that his knees were sore, no matter what activity he did. He always had pain, but just toughed it out, assuming that this was just the way it was going to be.

When David visited Solaj he was very skeptical. He had heard about Cold Laser erapy from his personal trainer and was encouraged to give it a try. All he wanted to do was, to be able to run freely, without pain. Having tried many other therapies

without meaningful and lasting success, he had an understandably dif cult time believing that laser therapy would be any di erent. But still - if his personal trainer was right - the upside of stopping the pain in his knee was considerable, so he decided to give Cold Laser erapy a chance.

After the rst 3 treatments, David started to notice slightly less pain in his knees. Although it was subtle, it was a step in the right direction, encouraging him to continue with the therapy. After 6 treatments, his initial scepticism turned into real hope, as he was running with almost no pain and noticed that the remaining pain would subside much sooner after exercising than before. He also found that his knees were not as sore as they used to be during his personal training sessions, and with much reduced pain levels, physical activity just seemed easier.

After 13 treatments over a 7 week period, hope had turned to satisfaction and David was able to end his treatments, as he was back to running and exercising without any of his previous symptoms.

Email om David: I have had problems with my knees for at least the past 20 years. After years of running high mileage weeks and the marching of time they started to give me problems. I kept reducing my running frequency and distance down to once per week, then I had to quit running altogether.

In the last few years I have been using the services of a personal trainer and had been working on strengthen the muscles that support the knees. Still to no real effect.

A few months ago I went to Solaj, and within a few sessions of the Cold Laser Therapy my knees started to feel better. I went a couple of times a week for seven weeks. After that I started running again, starting slowly and short distances, building it up to where I'm now running 3 times per week and my distances have increased as well.

Also, lately I've changed my training methods and I'm convinced that the Cold Laser treatments were the catalyst to the change. After long periods in my car and after my gym workouts, I am able to walk without any signs of stiffness or instability. I'm contemplating running a 10k in the new year and my goal is under 50 minutes for the distance. This doesn't sound like an accomplishment for someone who used to be much faster, but for someone who couldn't run at all it's wonderful.

I can highly recommend Cold Laser Therapy for anyone who has overuse injuries.

Langley resident tries Cold Laser Therapy to overcome debilitating knee pain

Chronic knee pain can occur for a variety of reasons for individuals of any age, but it becomes more common as we get older. Some chronic knee pain can be traced back to a speci c injury or to surgery. Other knee pain can be associated with ongoing wear and tear over years of living. Some of the underlying conditions can be diagnosed relatively quickly by a doctor or other medical practitioner with the appropriate credentials and experience. Other conditions can be con rmed with the help of non-invasive procedures like X-rays, MRI or CT scans. And some conditions can only be diagnosed via some form of surgery.

When knee pain becomes chronic, it typically means that the body hasn't been able to naturally heal the condition. Some of the common conditions for such chronic knee pain include osteoarthritis, internal scar tissue caused by surgery, major knee injury or an accumulation of micro injuries (“wear & tear”), meniscus irritations or tears, and/or in ammation of various soft tissues (ie. tendons and muscles) around the knee. Osteoarthritis and internal scar tissue, while two di erent conditions, also frequently occur simultaneously, which can make the symptoms extra confusing, more dif cult to diagnose and can end up causing double the pain and in ammation.

As a result, many su erers of knee pain nd themselves limited in the activities they can pursue and end up using pain killing medication to just get through the day. Most such medications can result in having undesirable side e ects of one kind or another, especially when taken long term. Not surprisingly many people su ering from chronic knee pain are looking for alternative treatments.

Cold Laser Therapy for Knee Pain

Fortunately there is now a readily available treatment for several of the common conditions causing knee pain: Cold Laser erapy. While this form of light therapy has been around for quite a few years, it’s still not as widely known as it should be. Scienti c research conducted over the last few decades has shown that human cells heal better and faster when the right wavelengths of light energy get delivered to them.

Cold Laser erapy is a breakthrough solution for musculoskeletal pain because it shines a concentrated amount of only helpful wavelengths of light vital for healing (in the red and infrared parts of the spectrum) directly on targeted areas. is allows the bones, ligaments, and tissues even well below the surface of the skin to be exposed to the healthy light that otherwise cannot reach these areas.

By delivering just the helpful parts of the light spectrum, the overall laser light power is kept at very low and therefore very safe levels, which will not burn or otherwise harm the skin or any other tissues.

e light energy of Cold Laser erapy boosts the cellular tissues’ natural healing mechanism without side e ects. is healing repairs cartilage damaged by osteoarthritis, helps to overcome meniscus injuries, dissolves internal scar tissue, puts an end to painful in ammation and restores the mobility of the knee joint and surrounding tissues.

THIS IS THE LIFEThe Seniors Health

Network each month poses a

question to a health-care professional.

Fabio Feldman, injury prevention program manager at Fraser Health, was asked:

I’m 86 years old and I live alone. A few weeks ago I had a bad fall in the night and was fortunate not to break anything. How should I make my house

safer so I won’t fall again?

Feldman references Your Guide to Independent Living - Make your home safer, published by Fraser Health:

Stairs and Steps

• Have light switches at the

top and bottom of the stairs. Make sure the stairs are well-lit.

• Check that your stairs are in

good repair, are free of clutter and have a non-skid surface.

• Mark the edges of the steps with contrasting coloured non-skid tape or paint.

• Make sure there are sturdy handrails on at

least one side of all stairways. • Remove your reading glasses

when you go up and down the stairs.

• Never rush up or down the stairs.

Bedroom • Have a light within reach of

your bed. Consider a flashlight or a lamp with a ‘clap-on’ adaptor.

• Beds should be at a good height for easy movement on and off. Firmer mattresses will make getting in and out easier.

• Have a cordless phone by your bed.

• Make sure there is a clear path from your bed to the bathroom.

• Keep your bedding clear of the floor so it is not a tripping hazard.

• Keep your walking aid handy and within easy reach of the bed.

• Sit on the edge of your bed for a minute before getting up after a rest.

Kitchen • Place frequently used items

in easy-to-reach locations. Store heavier items in lower cupboards.

• Avoid use of floor wax, or use a non-skid wax.

• Always wipe up any spills immediately to avoid slipping.

Living Areas • Make sure all walking areas

are clear of telephone or electrical cords.

• Position your furniture accordingly to keep pathways clear to and from areas that you need

access to. • Have a cordless telephone

within easy reach. Bathroom • Use slip-resistant mats around

the shower and bath. Use paint-on or self-adhesive slip-resistant strips in the shower and bath.

• Soap, shampoo, and towels should be placed within easy reach so that you don’t have to bend or reach for them.

• Have grab bars installed around the bath, shower, and toilet.

• If you have trouble getting on and off the toilet seat, consider an elevated toilet seat.

• Consider using a bath seat so you can take a shower or bath sitting down.

A Zumba demonstration starts the main stage features on Sun-

Being HumanThe Art On Display summer

series at White Rock Commu-nity Centre (15154 Russell Ave.) continues with Being Human, by Langley artist Gina Kling.

long ‘season’ in Crescent Beach is continuing to sell well for both shows.

Directed by Elgin Park Players alumnus Courtney Shields, it’s a delightful collage of stories by popular children’s author Robert Munsch, featuring Aaron Holt, Claire Pollock and Matt Falletta.

Kal DavidThe act the folks at Blue Frog

Studios refer to as ‘the sleeper hit of 2014’ is back.

Blues guitar master Kal David

and dynamic vocalist Lauri Bono will return to the venue’s intimate stage Friday, Aug. 21 and Satur-day, Aug. 22.

Last year, wild-fire word-of-mouth after the first performance rapidly sold out the second.

Widely regarded as ‘the real thing,’ guitarist-singer David has played with a who’s who of greats over the years (including John Mayall, The Fabulous Rhine-stones, Johnny Rivers and Peter Cetera) and Bono, his singing, writing and production partner (whose past credits include Bette Midler’s Harlettes) has a distinc-tively sassy, soulful sound that commands equal attention.

For tickets visit www.bluefrog-studios.ca or call 604-542-3055.

Voja MorosanA summer retrospective of

Vojislav (Voja) Morosan’s work at Seventh Heaven Art and Beauty Salon (12185 Beecher St.) illus-trates Morosan’s skill in captur-ing the light and moods of the Peninsula and the physical char-acteristics of heritage buildings and stands of trees that are all too rapidly disappearing.

The late artist, born in Belgrade,Yugoslavia, made White Rock and the Semiahmoo Pen-insula his second home in the

1990s and his paintings became an ongoing tribute to the area through detailed, highly evocative plein-air pieces.

The paintings can be viewed Sundays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. to Aug. 30, by appointment.

For more information, call 778-292-0687, or visit the Vojislav Morosan Facebook page.

Singers wantedPacific Showtime Men’s Chorus,

based in Ocean Park, rehearses Monday nights at 7:30 p.m. at St. Mark’s Church, 12953 20 Ave.

The small community chorus of experienced singers is currently seeking new members for all vocal ranges.

Offering a big sound in a variety of musical styles, Pacific Show-time has been featured at many different Lower Mainland events.

The repertoire is designed to include songs and a singing style that appeal to a wide variety of music preferences, with empha-sis on entertainment value, and chance to develop singing skills while having fun and enjoying camaraderie.

Male singers are invited to attend rehearsals to check out the group.

sports…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula


What started as an effort to shed a few pounds and get into shape has swelled into

a riveting hobby with a bright future for a White Rock pharmacist.

Brandie Mabee was first introduced to the sport of bodybuilding 2½ years ago, when she signed up with a personal trainer – himself a bodybuilder – in an attempt to lose some weight.

“He invited me to see a show, and seven weeks later I stepped on stage for my first show,” Mabee, 26, recalled.

Since then, the Thunder Bay, Ont. native has competed in six shows, placing in the top five for all except one.

Last year, she placed first in the Sandra Wickham competition in New Westminster, and earlier this year placed third at provincials. In a few months, she’ll be taking part in her first U.S. show, the Northern Classic in Washington State, and next summer will compete at the national level.

It’s a complex sport that involves far more than lifting weights and posing on stage, Mabee explains.

Athletes compete in a variety of categories, depending on their level of muscularity – Mabee competes in a bikini category, which is the least muscular of the women’s classes – and a panel of judges rank competitors based on their physique, stage presence and all around appearance.

“You can think of it as a very buff beauty pageant,” Mabee said.

There is generally 16 weeks of training required leading up to a competition, showcased on stage in a matter of five minutes.

Mabee currently trains at Sandcastle Fitness on 152 Street, working out twice every day; she does cardio training in the morning and weight training in the evenings.

“Closer to the show, I’ll add a second cardio session in the evening,” she said.

She works with a nutritional and weight-training coach – International Federation of Bodybuilding and

Fitness pro Darren Toma – as well as a posing coach (Toma’s wife, Lara), who helps Mabee present herself on stage in a way that “accentuates my strong points and perhaps hide a weak point.”

More important than the hundreds of hours spent training, Mabee said, is how the sport is approached mentally.

As a self-described “overachiever,” she said the sport has provided her with perpetual personal development, and endless challenges to overcome.

“I love the amount of self-mastery required for the sport,” she said. “As I achieve certain goals in life, I quickly find myself very bored, needing something new to strive for.”

Mabee moved to White Rock from Ontario a year-and-a-half ago, after completing pharmacology school at the University of Waterloo.

The knowledge she possesses from her ‘day job’ – she works at Family Care Pharmacy in White Rock – provides its share of benefits to her sport, she noted.

“Knowing how a lot of the natural health supplements work in the body is really helpful,” she said. “The knowledge of the human body really helps me to fuel my muscles properly, recognize when illness is coming on, or when my blood sugar might be too low, when my blood pressure might be too low or too high.”

However, with a full-time pharmacist job and an intense training schedule, Mabee said she isn’t left with much time for anything else.

And she’s quick to admit that she is often tempted to hit the snooze button and sleep through her workouts, but always forces herself to follow through.

“I think about why I do this,” she said. “I know that it’s me that is responsible for my success. The judges don’t care if I miss two of my seven workouts that week.

“It comes down to those minutes on stage and what I bring there. If I skip a workout, then I don’t bring my best to the stage, and so I fail at what I set out to do.”

Rick KupchukBlack Press

Adam Svensson had a successful four days at the RBC Canadian Open in Oakville, Ont. last weekend, scoring eight-under par to finish in a tie for 34th place.

It was the first PGA Tour event for the 21-year-old as a golf pro.

The Earl Marriott Secondary grad has competed in the past

two Canadian Open championships as an

amateur, missing the cut both times.

Svensson struggled on the front nine of Sunday’s final round, finishing two-over with a pair of bogeys.

After a third bogey on the par-four 10th hole, he recovered to post back-to-back birdies on the 13th and 14th holes, adding another on the par-five 16th hole to get back to even-par on the day.

He closed out the weekend tournament with his fourth birdie in the final hole, sinking a six-foot putt on the par-five 18th hole for a one-under score of 71.

“I had a good week,” Svensson said.

“I had a lot of fun. It was my first PGA Tour event as pro, so I can’t complain.”

After a solid 69 Thursday, Svensson struggled at times Friday and shot a one-over par 73 which included five bogeys and four birdies, making the cut by one stroke.

His best round came Saturday, when he birdied three of the first four holes and went on to card a 67, finishing the day tied for 25th at seven-under.

As an odd number of golfers made the cut, Svensson played the third round without a playing partner, golfing alone for all 18 holes.

“It was a little bit weird the first couple of holes,” Svensson told

Canadian Press after Saturday’s round.

“But I kind of got used to it. Just had a good rhythm all day and got off to a pretty good start. So I was pretty happy.”

In four Web.com Tour events this season, Svensson has made the cut three times.

His best finish was a tie for 11th at the Rust-Oleum Championship June 11-14 in Westlake, Ohio, which earned him $14,400.

With $21,653 in total prize money, he ranks 118th on the tour. The top 75 money winners qualify for the Web.com Tour Finals.

He has also competed in a pair of PGA Tour Canada events, placing second both times. He is ranked eighth on

the PGA Tour Canada money list.

Svennson announced he was turning professional in March, signing with SportBox Entertainment Group and agreeing to sponsorship agreements with Acushnet/Titleist, J. Lindeberg and Freedom 55 Financial.

Svensson won his first major tournament in 2007 as a 13-year-old, becoming the B.C. Bantam Boys champion.

He went on to win a pair of British Columbia Junior championships and the 2010 B.C. Amateur championship.

Mylod, John Michaelpassed away on July 20, 2015 while working at a job he loved with people he really cared for. John was predeceased by his Dad last year and his Grand-dad a few days ago. First and foremost John’s passion in life was spending time with friends and family and with the love of his life Melissa. He valued every opportunity to engage in discussion with his many friends. Known as The Oracle he was intelligent, an avid reader with a thirst for knowledge. He was a lover of History, War and Politics and was keen to engage in debate with anyone who had a few minutes to spare. Referred to as The White Knight by family for his need to right a wrong and support the underdog especially if it involved his fi sts.John loved camping, fi shing, boating and water sports and whenever he could he would gather friends for a quick rip or head over to Cabbage Island to chill out. John was kind, helpful and considerate. He loved sharing his knowledge. He was very protective of those he loved and a wonderful, patient mentor. He lived more life in his 31 years than most people could ever dream of. John touched so many lives in so many ways, he will be sorely missed by innumerable people.The family will be having a private Celebration of Life for John in the near future. Family and close friends will be in attendance.
