A South Surrey senior is wondering why her mayor and council won’t take five minutes to hear her presentation as a delegation to a regular council meeting.

Grandview Heights resident Sybil Rowe, 78, wants to make sure

that “majestic evergreens” along 168 Street from 24 Avenue to 32 Avenue – which she feels are integral to the character of her neighbourhood – receive formal heritage designation in

future development plans.And she wants the city to

formally dedicate a nine-acre property – a former horse farm – one the east side of 168 Street (in the 2700 block) as a green park.

She’s gathered 730 signatures from area residents as part of a petition supporting her proposal and prepared a statement to read to council.

“I timed it by my microwave,” she said. “It takes just under three

Medical-marijuana users have won a last-minute court reprieve that allows them to keep growing their own pot at home instead of destroying it and turning to new federally licenced commercial suppliers.

Federal Court Judge Michael Manson granted a temporary injunction Friday for

those with a personal-production licence to continue to grow medical marijuana, pending the outcome of a constitutional challenge still to be heard.

Health Canada’s new regulation outlaw-ing personal growing had been slated to take effect April 1, but the decision throws a wrench into the Conservative government’s pot-reform plans.

Medical-marijuana users and their support-ers are jubilant.

“I’m very excited,” said Sandra Colasanti, a member of a coalition seeking to repeal the new rules who said she doesn’t use pot but her husband needs it. “I’ve seen a lot of people who have everything from MS to cancer to full-blown AIDS and I’ve seen people die if they don’t have access to this.”

She said she’s optimistic the action launched by Abbotsford lawyer John Conroy will suc-ceed when it goes to trial. No date has been set but it’s expected sometime this year.

White Rock resident and medical-mari-juana advocate Joy Davies echoed Colasanti, noting that the decision shows that the courts are listening to patients.

Hundreds packed the White Rock Commu-nity Centre Monday to standing room only to pay tribute to city councillor Larry Robinson.

The dedicated – and often animated – first-term councillor was remembered as a man passionate about his duties as an elected offi-cial and his spirituality, who found humour in all manner of situations but also had a quiet side when it came to expressing his own artis-

tic endeavours.Robinson, 65, died in Peace Arch Hospital on

March 15, following a public battle with cancer.As prominent as the disease became in his

final months – he did not let a fast-growing tumour on his face deter him from public duties – the focus Monday was on who Robinson was and the contributions he made.

Mayor Wayne Baldwin described Robinson as a friend and colleague; a man meticulous in researching issues he was keen on, “outspoken

(and) strongly opinionated.”The comment evoked laughter – a sound

heard time and again throughout the service, prompted by amusing anecdotes and emotional memories from speakers, including brother Ron, son Jesse and father Gordon, as well as friends, colleagues and constituents.

Jesse Robinson said his dad was a larger-than-life character – “a wonderful father” whose positivity throughout his fight with cancer “was inspiring to all of us.”

“What it says to us patients is that the courts do support our dignity and do not agree with the heavy handed way that the federal government is working with us – or against us,” she said Friday. “From our perspective, it allows a year for our provinces to step up to the plate and develop dignified access programs.

“We’re happy today. I don’t think you’ll find a patient that isn’t.”

The federal government cited widespread problems with the current system, in which permitted users can grow pot at home or have designated growers do it for them.

Colasanti said the coalition doesn’t deny there are problems with the old system, which cities say creates myriad safety hazards.

Health Canada could have prevented such problems had it conducted regular inspec-tions of permitted medical grows, she said.

“The coalition is not saying there shouldn’t be some rules. We want rules. We have asked

for rules,” Colasanti said.Medical-pot patients behind the court

action fear they’ll pay commercial producers much more than it cost to grow themselves and end up with less access to the cannabis strains that work best for them.

The injunction doesn’t stop the launch of new commercial pot producers, but it throws into doubt how large their market will be if many users don’t have to immediately switch.

Growers licensed under the old system had been ordered by Ottawa to give written notice by April 30 that they’d halted production and destroyed all leftover pot.

Some municipalities had been poised to send in inspection teams or police to root out the legal medical grow-ops come April.

But Surrey’s fire department is now shelving its plans to step in to remediate an estimated 309 buildings with medical-marijuana grows within the city.

“I’m disappointed,” said Surrey fire Chief Len Garis. “I guess we just simply wait.”

Police say a trio of teenagers who were pas-sengers in a fleeing vehicle Friday night are lucky they weren’t seriously injured when it flipped.

Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said none of the three – two 18-year-olds and one 19-year-old, all Surrey residents – who were apprehended at or near the scene required medical attention following the crash.

“Extremely lucky young adults,” Paquet said Monday.

According to the police report, the crash occurred “seconds after” an officer south-bound on 152 Street noticed a grey Honda Civic “going at a fair clip” towards the 64

Avenue intersection.The Honda accelerated as soon as the

officer tried to pull the vehicle over, flip-ping when it hit the railway tracks that cross 152 Street just south of the intersection and striking a nearby fire hydrant.

“The vehicle was found upside-down,” Paquet said.

Paquet said the three who were arrested – and later released – were all under the influ-ence of alcohol and possibly drugs. Police seized both substances from the Honda, he said.

The fourth occupant, a male believed to be in his late teens or early 20s, remains at large and unidentified. The trio told police they had only just met the driver, Paquet said.

Casino gig ‘poses no conflict’Kevin DiakiwBlack Press

A Surrey councillor whose band has played for casino companies says he is not in conflict in voting on future gaming issues that arise.

Coun. Bruce Hayne is the key-boardist and a founding member of All About Jack, which has played at several casinos, including the Star-light Casino in New Westminster.

Starlight is owned by Gateway Casino and Entertainment, the same com-pany behind Newton Square Bingo Country at 7093 King George Blvd. Gateway also tried unsuccess-fully last year to open a casino in South Surrey, an application Hayne opposed.

Asked if he might be in a conflict of interest when participating in a future vote, Hayne said he checked with the city’s legal department, which told him he wasn’t.

By law, Hayne has to be a “pecu-niary” (money in the pocket) posi-tion for conflict of interest to exist.

Hayne doesn’t believe there is a public perception of conflict either.

“I play in a band as a hobby, and I play all over the place at different events and things like that,” he said, acknowledging he is paid to play.

Earlier this month, council indicated it wants to remove the 150 slot machines at the Newton casino because promised renova-tions have not taken place on time. However, Gateway plans to proceed with redevelopment as planned.

A corporate report is coming to council March 31 regarding the fate of the casino. It may require council vote whether to ask BC Lottery Corporation to remove the slots.

Hayne said his participation in a band has nothing to do with how a development will affect Newton.

“I see no personal interest in this one way or the other,” he said.

Hundreds of striking container-truck driv-ers converged on downtown Vancouver Fri-day to demonstrate against plans by the province and the port authority to impose legislation and licence terminations to force them back to work.

A convoy of more than 50 trucks rolled from a pullout on Highway 91 in Delta to down-town, snarling traffic along the way. Truckers were joined by supporters, including those from other unions, as well as BC Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair.

The provincial government is expected to pass back-to-work legislation by Wednesday, but the unionized drivers it will target are

defiant, giving no sign they will comply.The port said it will begin freezing non-

union drivers out of a new port-access sys-tem to put pressure on them to resume work.

“I don’t see how you can expect workers to cool off when their rights are being taken away,” Unifor B.C. director Gavin McGar-rigle said.

The port, business groups and govern-ments have warned the strike that began Feb. 26 is causing serious economic damage.

McGarrigle said port customers are hurt-ing but suggested the port could help by waiving some of the charges they have to pay on containers that are stuck at the terminals. “It’s their inaction that has brought this situ-ation to a head.”

Terminal wait times and rate undercutting by various players are the main issues.

Some drivers wore pink T-shirts demanding a stop to bullying and Unifor national presi-

dent Jerry Dias picked up that theme, criticiz-ing the port’s licence-termination threat.

“It’s foolishness. Think about it. We’ve got between the two groups, 1,500 to 1,600 drivers. You’re going to fire everybody? Of course not,” he said.

Dias did not rule out job action elsewhere.“Let’s just say that we’re going to deal with the

problem here in Vancouver. If we’re forced to take action in other locations to get our point of view across, we’re prepared to do that.”

Meanwhile, the port released a video show-ing protesters harassing one of the container truck drivers that has continued working.

“Intimidation shown and released today is totally unacceptable,” Port Metro Vancouver CEO Robin Silvester said.

A White Rock woman is asking the public to keep their eyes open for a distinctive hand-made urn box that was stolen from the mail depot at People’s Pharmacy in Ocean Park earlier this month.

The blue box, decorated with a painting of a blue bird and flowers, was sent to Francine Bedard by her siblings in Quebec, who had created and painted the box to hold the ashes of their late father, Roger.

Prior to sending the box over, Bedard’s brother removed the ashes, deciding to deliver the precious cargo in person next month.

However, the box’s sentimental value has pushed Bedard – who performs as a musician, children’s entertainer and clown under the name Fanny Starchild – to ask for her com-

munity’s help.“My brother is coming to visit for the first

time in more than 30 years because my father requested that I get the ashes to spread them where I live and give thanks at a ceremony,” she said. “I’m hoping for a miracle.”

Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet told Peace Arch News Friday that police were called to the pharmacy, located at 12851 16 Ave., at 5:30 a.m. on March 15, on a report of suspicious activity. Upon arrival, police saw that the back door was left wide open and a lock on the gate had been cut.

“Further investigation at the scene found that entry had been gained through the roof of the business with some wires cut and other signs of break and enter,” Paquet said.

Investigators have spoken to neighbour-hood businesses and residents, but no one has

reported hearing or seeing anything overnight, he said.

“We’ve requested surveillance footage of businesses in the area to see if they have any evidence or more details,” he added.

The break and enter is similar to an incident that took place at a pharmacy in White Rock on March 23, 2013.

Through a DNA analysis, White Rock inves-tigators identified a suspect and – due to the similarities in the cases – that person has also become a person of interest for Surrey RCMP, Paquet noted.

“Based on the similar MO (modus operandi) and geographically speaking, the proximity of the two crime scenes, it definitely perked our interest to this particular individual,” he said.

Management for the pharmacy could not be reached for comment.

minutes to read. Even with handing over the petition to them, I would have taken only five minutes of their time.”

Instead, she said, council has referred her application to appear as a delegation to an April 16 meeting of the Parks and Recreation, Sports and Tourism committee.

City clerk Jane Sullivan explained that while it’s council’s decision to refer a delegation request to an advisory committee, the usual rationale for doing it is to gain more information about the issue.

“It does happen a lot,” she said. “It depends what kind of request it is and how many things are rolled into it. A lot of times when they see a delegation request come in they decide it should go to committee first. A lot of times there’s a better result if a good, frank discussion can happen.”

Sullivan said a matter going to committee does not preclude a recommendation being made for it to return to council.

But Rowe is not entirely satisfied with the explanation, feeling that a discussion at committee level has no guarantee of going further.

“A committee has no power to make decisions,” she said. “Mayor and council have that power.”

Having gone door to door gathering signatures since January, she feels “slighted,” by the decision, she said.

“All these people who signed my petition trusted me – I feel I owe them something,” she said.

In her presentation, she notes that residents expressed “sadness, fear and anger, and above all, their feelings of impotence in the face of this relentless movement to urbanize Grandview Heights.”

Over and over, she wrote, people said there is “too much development; it is too dense; they are cutting down all the trees.”

Rowe told Peace Arch News she was repeatedly thanked for her effort – and the comments cut across lines of gender, age, ethnicity and income brackets.

She said she often heard that “it doesn’t matter what we say, they will do what they want.”

“Most people shook their heads and said ‘good luck with that,’” she said, adding with a laugh that she has become known

as “that crazy tree lady” in the neighbourhood.

One of the few willing to help her, she acknowledged, is neighbour Richard Gardiner, who helped her draft her presentation and witness signatures on her petition.

Rowe said her own views have evolved during the process of canvassing neighbours – while she began with a concern for protecting the trees that made her home on 26 Avenue seem like “a paradise” when she first moved in 12 years ago, she has realized that voracious patterns of high-density development without adequate planning for park areas destroys, rather than creates, neighbourhoods.

“People are desperate for parks,” she said, adding that she is not opposed to orderly development, provided it can retain some of the area’s “natural splendour.”

“We’re not NIMBYs,” she said.While she said that she has

heard from residents that the former horse-farm property, owned by the city, is slated to be a park, she has been unable to get a straight answer from councillors or city staff.

And although she will take her presentation to the April 16 committee meeting she remains determined that the voices of those who signed her petition will be heard.

The simplest way would be for council to hear her delegation, she said.

“Let’s face it,” she said. “I’m a damn nuisance at city hall.”

newsSurrey duo arrested for fraud

Couple faces 156 chargesWarren JanéBlack Press

Check your credit card state-ments, online bank accounts and reward points numbers.

This is the advice from Vancou-ver Police, after a fraud investi-gation led to a search warrant at a Surrey apartment, where a couple was arrested and charged last week.

While more than 100 victims have been identified, police believe there could be many more.

“We think this is sort of the tip of the iceberg,” said Vancouver Police Sgt. Randy Fincham.

The alleged scam, which impacted victims across B.C., Canada and parts of the United States, involved RBC Visa cus-tomers’ points being used to pur-chase gift cards.

Surrey residents Daniel Adam Suchecki, 34, and Christa Dawn Hucal, 25, face a combined total of 156 credit-card fraud and identity-theft-related charges.

Others have been charged for stealing from mailboxes, post office boxes and cars to obtain credit cards, statements or other documents that can be used for identity-theft purposes.

Seized in the search were approximately 200 credit cards and IDs, stolen mail, a credit-card reader/writer and credit-card data, along with $20,000 in gift cards and three stolen vehicles.

A $51,000 Mitsubishi Lancer was also seized.

Credit union’s error correctedA processing error is being

blamed for dozens of Peninsula Coast Capital Savings members receiving incorrect tax slips last month.

Fortunately, officials note, the mistake – which affected 158 members in White Rock/South Surrey – is an easy fix: destroy the slip and don’t worry.

“We know who these customers are and we are going out proac-tively to contact each and every

one,” Sheira Hallam, head of com-munications for Coast Capital, said this month. “If they don’t hear from us… their T5 is fine.”

Hallam said the error was detected on Feb. 27 – the same day the slips were generated – and was “very contained.”

While one recipient contacted Peace Arch News concerned about the potential impact, Hallam said members can rest assured the faulty information did not reach

Canada Revenue Agency.“Only the correct information

has been given to CRA,” she said.Amended T5s and letters

explaining the mistake should have arrived in affected members’ mailboxes the week of March 10.

Anyone who filed their taxes with the incorrect information and incurred costs as a result of the error will be reimbursed, Hal-lam said.

CCNAMember 2010 WINNER

It didn’t take long for the furor to erupt after it was learned the source of the latest measles outbreak in Chilliwack was a local Christian

private school.The school – and the church that supports

it – has been in the spotlight before over its aversion to vaccinations. Past outbreaks of measles, mumps and whooping cough have all been tied to the community. And that association once again drew an immediate rebuke from people across the country.

And rightly so.Religious freedom is a fundamental part of

our Canadian identity. But that freedom should not excuse parents – no matter their religious affiliations or other beliefs – from denying their children the simple tools that can protect them from life-threatening, or life-altering diseases. More so, choosing not to vaccinate has implications that extend beyond one community, especially in the Lower Mainland, where travel between communities – for work, school or social events – is so common.

Failing to get the appropriate immunizations leaves others – particularly children too young for vaccination – vulnerable to a disease they might otherwise escape.

There are similar risks for seniors, too, of which there are many who call South Surrey and White Rock home.

But while it was a particular religious community that has drawn the most fire over the outbreak, it cannot be overlooked that others are also guilty.

Though the percentages differ from community to community, Fraser Health numbers have repeatedly shown that, put simply, the number of people with adequate immunizations is far short of what it should be, leaving a significant chunk of the population either choosing not to vaccinate, or failing to ensure their inoculations are up-to-date.

There are no good reasons for either.Fears that vaccinations carry some harm have

long been exposed for what they are: paranoia cloaked in junk science. The bigger concern is complacency. We’ve come to expect that the childhood diseases that were once so common have disappeared. What we forget is their absence is due to a stringent vaccination regime.

By failing to maintain that regime we are welcoming back illnesses that we have fought long and hard to protect our families from.

Vaccinations a public responsibility

Published at South Surrey by Black Press Ltd.

opinionPeace Arch News

The BC NDP leadership contest is officially underway, with the entry of Vancouver Island

veteran John Horgan in a reluctant reprise of his 2011 run against Port Coquitlam MLA Mike Farnworth.

Unfortunately for them, weekend campaign events were overshadowed by revelations of flagrant abuse of taxpayers’ money by the executive and board of the Portland Hotel Society. A pair of audits finally released last week on this network of Downtown Eastside social gencies revealed systematic looting of the $28 million a year in taxpayers’ money that has kept this supposed charity running.

Alas for the NDP, local MLA Jenny Kwan not only failed to keep an eye on it, her recently separated husband was one of the executives who took part for years, and she benefited to the tune of $35,000 in luxury travel.

That’s what we know about, since much of the evidence wasn’t produced for the auditors.

When this Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous scheme finally came to light, Kwan hastily paid back the $35,000 and announced she’s taking an unpaid leave

of absence. Her tearful claim that she believed nothing was wrong is simply not credible. She not only must have known of her husband Dan Small’s jet-

set ways, she participated in at least two trips, one to Vienna and Bristol, England to do “research” and attend a poverty conference from high-end hotels.

If it wants to retain any shred of credibility as it spouts misleading poverty statistics and simplistic solutions, the party must get rid of Kwan, who has two years left to max out her MLA pension.

MLA pensions were a factor in the 2010 ouster of Carol James, who infuriated the old guard

by trying to defuse a public backlash against a generous pay and benefits package worked out in private between the NDP and the BC Liberals. Kwan would later take a leading role in the caucus revolt that forced James out as leader.

Longtime political watchers will see the PHS abuse as a bigger, uglier version of the Nanaimo Commonwealth Holdings Society scandal. There, the siphoning off of bingo funds from charities cost Mike Harcourt his job as premier. In that case, NDP MLAs sat on the board, took their

monthly cut and kept quiet.There’s more. Horgan became enraged

last year at the reporter who took a tip from the BC Liberals to reveal the NDP was skimming constituency office budgets to pay for its own “ethnic outreach” operation in Vancouver. Horgan had rubber-stamped the plan with a since-dismissed legislature accountant, and thought he had kept it secret after the auditor general blew the whistle. His willingness to assess its ethics remains in question to this day.

Then there is Craig Keating, who took over as party president from Moe Sihota last year. Did he inherit the $72,000 salary negotiated by Sihota with the BC Federation of Labour and two of its largest unions?

If so, do Horgan and Farnworth think this is appropriate?

Will the party’s joined-at-the-hip relationship with government unions even be discussed in the carefully staged leadership contest that’s about to begin?

Then there’s the policy shipwreck left behind by Adrian Dix. His plan to use environmental assessment as a weapon to torpedo industrial projects remains popular with the party’s urban base.

Farnworth and Horgan have paid lip service to the notion that projects like the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion should be properly assessed.

Meanwhile the federal NDP fights to keep stacking public hearings with pre-selected protesters.

The party may wish to consider what would give its next B.C. leader any hope of governing.

Good deedpunishedEditor:Re: Wheels of bureaucracy spin, too, March 18 letters.

I just read the letter to the editor regarding a Meals on Wheels driver getting a parking ticket.

This was at the height of our snowfall with a foot of snow on the road. This is a disgrace to punish a volunteer who delivers a hot meal to a senior citizen of White Rock.

Perhaps this is the only meal the senior eats all day.

The City of White Rock said no to an appeal of this parking ticket.I hope it reconsiders.Mary MacDonald, White Rock

An open letter to City of White Rock.My goodness, you really put both

feet in the smelly stuff this time – ticketing a volunteer driver for Meals on Wheels.

Think on this: a volunteer is worth more to the community because they do good deeds for free.

But you could still save face.Issue free parking cards to the

drivers when they are delivering.Also, remember you or your

family might have need of this service one day. I hope our faces aren’t too red today.Roger P. Kealy, White Rock

They gamblewhile we copeEditor:Re: Lottery corp – not city – to make slot call, March 18.

As Surrey council, police and citizens strive to bring safety and a sense of community back to the neighbourhood where Julie Paskall was murdered, a few steps away B.C. Lottery Commission appears to be insisting slot machines ‘temporarily’ located at the decrepit Newton Bingo Hall are there to stay, like it or not.

This from a government that Premier Christy Clark claims is all about families, a government that does nothing about B.C. having the highest child poverty rate in Canada. This, a government that ignores the families – the victims of problem/addicted gamblers and in fact advocates increased access to gambling in the province.

We might ask ‘which’ families Clark cares about, but I think we already know. Don Murray, Surrey

Another standtaken downEditor:Re: Mid-rise on track after seven-year hiatus, Feb. 20.

Can’t say I am getting excited – distressed and anxious would be more appropriate words – anticipating the soon-to-begin development of 15300-block of 16 Avenue in South Surrey.

Plans for the site went from four to eight storeys, with more facilities, shape and parking, requiring a larger footprint, I assume.

This will result in the near total destruction of our beautiful, majestic stand of trees, nesting place for eagles and other species, another mini-forest in our midst, gone forever. So sad.

Could we at least consider keeping the trees around the perimeter of the property?A. Wallis, White Rock

Inaction called into questionEditor:

The First Nations of Canada have been requesting an national inquiry into the deaths and disappearance of hundreds of Canadian aboriginal women. The federal government has refused this request.

Would the response of this government be any different if the hundreds of women missing or dead were Ukrainian, Jewish or Chinese Canadian women?

I feel the racism displayed by this government for whatever reason is appalling and should not be tolerated.Areta Evans, Surrey

Old plan to renew city Editor:Re: City, court reconsider dumping fines, March 18.

Our White Rock council has got to take a more positive approach. What they’re doing, isn’t working.

You can give residents a dozen recycling containers apiece, but every resident will have larger unwanted items to be discarded.

How has the city responded? The city has hired lawyers; installed cameras, held court cases and will now attempt to collect on unpaid fines. And let’s not forget the employees needed to send warning letters, and wasted time spent on trying to get this city cleaned up.

Many years ago, the city offered a once-a-year service whereby residents could place anything on the curb, including the kitchen sink. Our city was clean, and we didn’t have to look at cardboard boxes, barbecues and mattresses in every vacant lot.

By charging every property owner a couple of bucks a year to cover the weekend costs, they wouldn’t have to spend a couple of grand a month.

More importantly, it would bring back cleanliness in one weekend.Dennis Buhlin, White Rock

Undercutting comes at costEditor:

It makes me sad and laugh at the same time about the news of the truckers’ strike at the waterfront.

They talk about long waits and poor wages. This was mostly brought on by themselves.

Over the years, the trucking companies have been lowering their wages to grab the business over others. It has been spiralling down since to the wages they make now.

They have been their own worst enemy by cutting the throats of their rivals by constant undercutting.

So, after they come to some kind of agreement, who will get the business over the other, and will it start all over again with the undercutting? Brian Lauder, Surrey

Editor:Re: Green machine gathers here, not there,March 18 column.

How unfortunate that columnist Tom Fletcher was not invited to the environmentalists’ event in Victoria. Could it be that the organizers understand there is no point wasting time talking to a person with a closed mind?

Fletcher does not seem to realize that the environmental movement had to make a choice: become more professional or become irrelevant.

Faced with the overpowering marketing and lobbying efforts of big business – much of it funded by foreign-based corporations – how did Fletcher expect environmentalists to react?

Fletcher complains that environmentalists are focused on the Great Bear Rain Forest and other issues in B.C., while ignoring other parts of the world. Unfortunately, despite the backing of a few “wealthy charitable foundations,” environmentalists are having to fight battles on several fronts here at home just to fend off threats to the least spoiled parts of our province, and have neither the time nor the finances to act elsewhere.

It never ceases to amaze me how people like Fletcher insist on demonizing environmentalists who are simply trying to preserve this planet for future generations, while accepting the propaganda emanating from the oil industry and our federal government as gospel.

Take some time to look around the world we live in. We have so much to be thankful for in B.C., but we must not take it for granted. The environment cannot speak for itself; we must stand up and speak on its behalf.Bill Stewart, Surrey

Columnist Tom Fletcher need not be concerned in the absence of an invitation to the “green machine’s” selective Victoria briefings. These smug, righteous individuals can’t grasp the existence of a skeptical, questioning journalist. They’ve seen only the credulous, adoring toadies masquerading as today’s press.

Every human being harbours authoritarian tendencies. Most of us – raised in the Western socio-political framework that evolved from Hellenic and Hebraic origins – manage to control these dictatorial impulses.

However, some monied individuals and groups indulge their worst instincts to purchase influence and power over politicians, the media and the duped public.

It’s nothing but top-down manipulation in the name of environmentalism.

Keep up the good work, Tom. There are many who share your views. Most, however, are too busy working to support themselves and the slackers who sit in on endless “green” meetings before renting themselves out as professional protesters.Francis Patrick Jordan, White Rock

Fighting, funding forces of nature


Warren JanéBlack Press

“It was just… boom! I’m sur-prised I was able to turn away fast enough from the point of noticing that the car’s upside-down, flying at me.”

Those were the words of a shaken-up Tom Peters, the driver of a minivan in a dramatic three-car collision Friday in North Sur-rey involving any RCMP cruiser .

“It was kind of like a movie scene, seeing the vehicle smash into you,” said Peters, a New Westminster resident. “I just saw it coming right at me and my instinct was to turn away and not get the glass in my face. Afterwards I was sort of in shock, you know? ‘What’s happening? What’s going on?’”

The collision occurred at approximately 1:15 p.m. at King George Bou-levard and 108 Avenue.

Police say a marked police vehi-cle with lights and sirens on was westbound when it was struck on the side by a northbound white Honda sedan.

The collision caused the police vehicle to flip on its roof, trapping the lone male officer inside.

Peters – whose vehicle was stopped in a left-hand-turn eastbound lane – said two to three police cars were travelling through the intersection on a red light with their lights and sirens on. He said he saw the police vehicles pass safely through the intersection, then looked away for brief moment.

“When I looked up again, there

was a police car’s trunk aimed at my windshield and it hit the car,” Peters said.

Peters said that after the colli-sion, he could see tail lights and other pieces of the police cruiser inside his own vehicle and was concerned for the safety of the officer when he saw the cruiser inverted on its roof.

The Mountie was taken to hos-pital with non-life threatening injuries. The occupants of the Honda were taken to hospital as a precaution. Peters was uninjured.

The Integrated Collision Analy-sis and Reconstruction Services and the Criminal Collision Inves-tigation Team are investigating.

The provincial government has appointed Isobel Mackenzie as B.C.’s first seniors advocate.

Mackenzie has a broad mandate as the voice of seniors in B.C. to moni-tor and review system-wide issues affecting their well-being.

She can make recommendations to government and other service pro-viders in areas ranging from health and personal care to housing, trans-portation and income support.

“I have seen first-hand the issues, the challenges and the choices facing our seniors, their families and their

caregivers,” Mackenzie said Wednes-day, calling her appointment an hon-our and a privilege.

“I have witnessed the pro-found desire of seniors to maintain their dignity and their independence.”

Mackenzie has 18 years of local, provincial and national experience working on behalf of seniors, much of it heading Beacon Community Services in Victoria.

She is to advise government and service providers in an independent manner, meet the minister at least yearly and make

public reports and recommendations.Opposition New Democrats, who

have called for a seniors advocate since 2007, said the government hasn’t given the new advocate enough power and independence to act as a strong champion.

The enabling legislation indicates problems specific to an individual senior, rather than broad system-wide issues, are likely to be referred elsewhere.

“This advocate is not empowered to look at indi-

vidual issues facing seniors,” NDP

seniors critic Katrine Conroy said. “These individual issues often signal systemic problems.”

The Office of the Seniors Advocate opens in Victoria March 31 with a $2-million budget and can be found online at www.gov.bc.ca/seniorsad-vocate. It’s the first position of its kind in Canada.

B.C. has 700,000 residents over age 65 and that number is projected to double over the next 20 years, by which time seniors will make up nearly a quarter of the population.

The appointment by Health Minis-ter Terry Lake meets a commitment in B.C.’s 2012 Seniors Action Plan.

Charges dropped

Charges of sexual interference against a local martial arts instructor have been dropped.

Police arrested Daniel Ivan Ugarte last June and charged him with sexual interference with a person under the age of 16.

The incidents were alleged to have taken place between early 2012 and May 2013.

This month, the charges against Ugarte were stayed.

Crown prosecutor Jodie Harris said the charges didn’t meet the standard for charge approval.

Under its new regulations, the BC Government has set up an association led by big corporations to take over the local Blue Box recycling program throughout BC. If you look closely, you’ll see that of seven board members, six are executives of Toronto-based multi-national corporations, with the seventh weighing in from Montreal.

How do you like that, British Columbia?

This means, unlike the current program run locally by BC municipalities, this new program will be managed not by people whose fi rst responsibility is our local environment, but rather, their Bay St. profi ts.

That can’t be a good thing for BC.

The most perplexing thing is that we currently have a Blue Box program that works, is effi cient, and costs BC homeowners just

$35 a year on average. The new proposed system does not guarantee to keep our local environment as its fi rst priority, nor does it guarantee that there won’t be job losses here in BC.

It doesn’t guarantee service levels, or say anything about how big business will pass along the costs to you when you go to pick up a pizza or buy groceries.

Yikes!

Perhaps this is why several of BC’s municipalities refuse to sign onto the new program, calling it a “scam.” Given that, maybe it’s time you called Premier Clark to keep BC’s environmental decisions right here in BC where they belong.

What’s going on here?

perspectives…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Sarah MassahStaff Writer

It didn’t take long for three cats to find ‘forever homes’ at the new BC SPCA Surrey

Education and Adoption Centre.The felines were all adopted by

their new families the day the Cloverdale facility, located at 16748 50 Ave., opened its doors on March 1.

Branch manager Rodney Weleschuk hopes that the momentum will carry on as the facility grows into the sprawling

5½ acres of rural land purchased by the BC SPCA, following the end of the organization’s kenneling contract with the City of Surrey in April 2012, after being unable to match the lower bid made by the B.C. Commissionaires.

“So far, we are working in conjunction with the City of Surrey shelter. I’m building a good relationship with the manager of the shelter since I started here,” Weleschuk said.

He has been working on establishing a transfer program with the humane city shelter – located in the 17900-block of

Colebrook Road – to bring adoptable cats to the SPCA in order to free up limited space and get homes for the animals as

soon as possible. “We’re complementing their

service. The whole point is getting homes for the animals that need it the most as quickly as possible,” he said.

“The goal is to help the animals.”The property will also house

the SPCA’s cruelty-investigation staff from the region, as well as an education centre, which is expected to be up and running by July and will focus on the prevention of overpopulation.

Each adopted animal will be ready to go, spayed and neutered – barring any extreme circumstance, Weleschuk said.

“The City of Surrey has a huge problem with feral cats, so the less cats that are being released to

the wild to become breeding feral cats, the better,” he said.

The innovative facility will also later include a chicken coop, a bunny patch, vegetable garden and cattle from cruelty seizures.

Weleschuk noted that having the space is also the perfect way to connect with the members of the community. Future plans are to be able to have birthday parties and other events on the property and for special-interests groups who can use the space for meetings and other events.

Sixteen-year-old Vancouver student Aanikh Kler has been speaking to other youth about developing their ideas in the wake of his Dragons’ Den appearance, where he scored a deal with Arlene Dickinson on his ring-tone app, UndrTheRadr.

Last Tuesday, he spoke to about 25 teens at the City of Surrey’s first Teen Hackathon at City Centre Library, where students brought their lap-tops, tablets and smartphones to try and use open data available online to design a useful app for the city.

“Part of my (public) speaking is I get to see all the amazing things cities and schools are now doing to help foster innovation and ideas,” said Kler.

“I think an event like this, where you have people that know so much about apps and creating them, can help piece the idea and the technical aspect together, which will actually help in creating apps going forward.”

Also at the event were representa-tives from Microsoft and Mozilla, the company that created the Firefox browser, as well as Surrey’s geo-graphic-information systems man-ager, Sean Simpson, who said that the aim of the ‘hackathon’ was for youth to start thinking about ways they can develop technology to help others.

“We want to get them involved in social issues and civic issues and try to make them civic-minded. We also know that teenagers never leave a smart phone; it’s always in their hand,” Simpson said. “We want to try to connect them with issues that are civic issues, with technology. So today we’re trying to connect the dots for them.”

Lectures included an explanation of what ‘open data’ is (unrestricted information) and how it can be uti-lized in the creation of apps, as well as other programs that can be used to design visually appealing apps and combine data sets to create original apps.

Some of the ideas floating around the room included an app that maps the locations of alternative-fuel sta-tions, a pay-parking locator and a program that combines city points of

information with climate data.Holy Cross High School student

Savio Neyyan said he was enjoying his first ‘hackathon’ experience.

“The guy who made that app was really inspiring,” said Neyyan. “This whole program really seems informa-tional for me. I’m learning a lot about

apps and open data; it’s pretty fun.”

Before creating UndrTheRadr, which emits a ringtone that only young people can hear, Kler said he had no app-design-ing experience and doesn’t want that to stand in anyone else’s

way either.“If you’re passionate, people will

realize that and they’ll try to help you,” said Kler. “My advice for other teenagers would be that if you’re pas-sionate and you believe in it, other people are going to believe in it, so really believe in yourself and do the best you can and things will go well for you.”

Simpson urged anyone who has an idea to approach the city with it.

“We want to work with you and we’re going to provide tools and les-sons on how you might proceed in doing that,” said Simpson. “So we welcome any insight or any thoughts or ideas and we’ll help you develop those ideas.”

Pools aren’t just for swimming anymore.The natural resistance of the water creates a perfect atmosphere for a great workout, and there are more and more exercise programs being developed with that in mind.The South Surrey pool has numerous low- to no-impact fitness programs that are great for those with less mobility than what was once the norm.Aquacize and Deep Water Aquacize are both 45-minute classes, featuring the warm-up, cardio, strength and cool down components associated with orthodox aerobic programs and led by B.C. Recreation and Parks Association-certified instructors. Water running is another program offered that is a great alternative to the knee-jarring pavement version.If running is not your thing, try water walking – a program “suitable for those with joint related conditions or arthritis.”And there is also Gentle Joints (formerly Water Therapy) – a program specifically geared towards those with mild to advanced arthritis, fibromyalgia or restricted mobility.

The Healing Power of Cold Laser TherapyCold Laser Therapy (often also called Low Intensity Laser Therapy or Low Level Laser Therapy) is an innovative treatment for a variety of acute and chronic – often painful – conditions.

Laser light transfers energy to interior cells• Stimulates natural healing• Restores normal cellular structure and function• Prevents future injury

What you will experience:• Pain goes away• Reduced infl ammation/swelling• Restored mobility

Why Cold Laser?• Healing, not just masking of pain• Safe, drug free & no side eff ects• Avoid or delay the need for surgery• Accelerate and strengthen the body’s natural healing mechanisms

The Concept Behind Cold Laser TherapyThe healing power of lightThe concept of Cold Laser Therapy is actually quite simple. As humans, light plays a very important role in our existence. Similar to how plant cells require light for photosynthesis, our cells need light to power many of the normal processes that keep us healthy and happy. As long as we are exposed to enough regular sunlight, our skin absorbs the light we need and our cells can use it for many of their normal functions. If our cells are working normally, then our bodies are able to withstand diff erent stresses from day to day activities and heal various ailments.Light therapy is not a new concept. It has been and continues to be used by doctors to treat a wide variety of conditions. For exam-ple, light has shown to be eff ective for treating many skin conditions including psoriasis and acne, depression and even tuberculosis before there were medications. Most people who suff er from arthritis can attest to the fact that their pain usually reduces or even completely subsides during the summer months or on a vacation to a sunny destination.Vitamin D, critical for keeping our bones healthy and strong, is created in our bod-ies by a process that requires sunlight. In places where there isn’t much sunlight available year round, people are usually encouraged to take vitamin D supple-ments during the darker months to help support their bones and prevent against bone-softening conditions such as rickets (in children) or osteoporosis.When we experience pain or infl ammation from a problem or injury in an area of our body, the normal cellular processes slow down and our body has trouble heal-ing as a result. Blood fl ow to these areas also gets interrupted, which restricts the ability of important nutrients to be delivered to the cells that need to heal.The scienceScientifi 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 Therapy is a breakthrough solution for musculoskeletal pain because it shines a concentrated amount of only helpful wavelengths of light vital for healing (which are in the red and infrared parts of the spectrum) directly on targeted areas. This allows our bones, ligaments, and tissues deep inside our bodies 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 can be kept at very low and therefore very safe levels, which will not burn or otherwise harm the skin or any other tissues.

How Does Cold Laser Therapy Work?Cold Laser Therapy delivers light based energy to cells, helping to accel-erate the body’s natural healing process at the cellular level. It targets injured cells, resulting in elimination and prevention of pain, reduction of infl ammation and swelling, and improved range of motion. Laser therapy does not just mask the pain, it actively stimulates healing to resolve mus-culoskeletal conditions for the long term.The Biofl ex Cold Laser Therapy system is a three step process, each using a diff erent wavelength of light which has been found to optimally stimu-late your body’s cells. The fi rst step uses a red light pad at 660 nm, which gets absorbed by the cells of the skin and underlying superfi cial layers of muscle. The second step uses an infrared light pad at 830 nm, reaching deeper into the muscle layers, as well as the tendons and ligaments. The third step includes an infrared laser wand at 840 nm that is placed specifi cally on the aff ected areas by a trained laser therapist. This light is very concentrated and targets the deepest aff ected structures, stimulating healing inside aff ected joints and even bone.

Cold Laser Therapy: Game Changer for Arthritis?Being in my late 50s, I’ve seen my fair share of “can’t miss” investment tips, over-hyped tech-nologies and way too many promises of miracle cures for this or that ailment. So call me a skeptic.

However every once in a while science and engineering produce a technology that is truly remarkable with a profound impact on some part of our life. Some of the technologies that our kids and grand-kids take for granted were not around when I grew up. Computers really changed things. And so did the Internet. There have been quite a few breakthroughs in health care. But most of the better known involve drugs or surgery. However as I found out a little while ago, there’s a remarkable new treatment option available for a variety of conditions that involves neither drugs nor surgery.

Niels’ Story

Early last year my wife Maria and I were having dinner with my friend and busi-ness partner Louba and her daughter Melanie, a bright young chiropractor who had been practising for a few years since obtaining her doctorate in chiropractic. At one point in the conver-sation she mentioned that there was a new technology based treatment called “Cold Laser Therapy”, which seemed to have rather dramatic results for a

variety of conditions. She mentioned that it was really good for accelerating the healing process for muscle tears, tendonitis and also for post surgical healing. I had remembered listening to a sports talk show some years earlier where the host had mentioned truly stun-ning acceleration of healing and getting back to normal when laser therapy was used after hip surgery. That all sounded very interesting as a mental note, if I ever needed such a procedure.

But when she mentioned Cold Laser Therapy had seen remarkable success in the treatment of arthritis, I asked “really?” I was rather skeptical, because my mom has been suff ering from osteoarthritis in an increasingly bad way for many years. People familiar with the condition know all too well, there’s no known cure for the condition, just some ways of fi ghting the symptoms. Some of the medication my mom had tried provided decent temporary relief, but over the years she had to get off the best of those medications because of their strong side eff ects and later because they interacted dangerously with her heart medication. So she found herself between a rock and a hard place. Quitting the heart medication would probably kill her so she had to live with increasingly bad arthritis pain. To use just a simple example, her hands would hurt so much that she took to changing the bedsheets over 3 days. One day to change the pillowcases, another day to change the sheets and a 3rd day to change the duvet cover.

Doctor Mel (that’s what everyone calls her) continued, “yes, this therapy has a remarkable success rate”. Being a health care provider she knows that nothing in health care is ever 100%, but anything that can really help 4 out of every 5 people is truly remarkable.

So the next day I called my mom in Ontario on Skype (another fabulous invention) and told her about “Cold Laser Therapy” and asked her to fi nd a clinic in her neighborhood, who provided such treatment. Over the years my mom had tried many diff erent treatments for her arthritis, most didn’t work, or the side eff ects were too negative. She was naturally a little hesitant. But when I asked her to do this as a favour to me, I think her motherly instincts took over.

After about 6 treatments over 3 weeks, she was very excited. “Look! I’ve got my hands back!” waving her hands to the computer camera, so I could see them. She showed me how much the range of motion in her hands had improved, how the swelling in the joints of her hand had gone down.

Why am I telling this story? Because I can’t believe that Cold Laser Therapy isn’t better known and I think it really should be. And for some people its benefi ts can amount to a life changing event enabling them to return to improved mobility and eliminated or reduced pain.

That dinner resulted in a partnership and a clinic providing Cold Laser Therapy, encouraged by my mom’s and others’ experiences plus other research. Sure, we’d love to be your cold laser therapy clinic of choice. But that’s not the most important point of my story. What’s most important is that this remarkable treatment exists and is truly worth learning about.

More than 13.3 million volunteers across Canada will be celebrated for their contributions during Canada’s 70th Annual National Volunteer Week, April 6-13, 2014. Canada’s senior citizen volunteers have even more to celebrate as studies show volunteering improves their health.“Canadian retirees who regularly give their time to others experience a number of increased health benefits compared to those seniors who don’t,” says Ben Gottlieb, a University of Guelph psychology professor who has been researching the positive health benefits of volunteering in seniors. “Some of the health benefits include enhanced fitness and reduced physical limitations, better lung function, less arthritis pain, better cardiovascular function and increased happiness, energy and vitality.”A 2009 study shows that having a strong sense of purpose in life is associated with lower mortality rates and volunteer work was listed as one way seniors can find this sense of purpose. A 2011 study found that, when compared to non-volunteers, older people who dedicated modest amounts of time to volunteer activities benefited from a reduced risk of hypertension.“Today’s seniors lead very full lives and they want to give back so their skills and expertise can benefit their communities,” says

Erin Spink, past president of the Ontario branch of the Professional Administrators of Volunteer Resources. “The many health benefits associated with volunteering enhances the meaningful and rewarding life experience volunteering provides.”

Over 1.8 million Canadian seniors collectively volunteered more than 372 million hours in 2010, according to Statistics Canada. Many of them say that they hear about volunteer opportunities through family, friends, volunteer centres and online at volunteer.ca

Ask the Residents…

Advice from people who live in the Royale Peninsula Retirement Residence

Dear Residents: I like my privacy – would I have to socialize at a retirement residence? – A loner and loving it.

Dear Loner: From our experience there is absolutely no expectation to socialize beyond the limited contact you can expect when in the common areas. Just the same as a house or condo, your apartment in a retirement residence is your own domain and you are assured of privacy within your personal space. Some residents fi nd the recreation program options enticing and attend a lot of events, whilst others keep to themselves, or

use the amenity spaces alone. That said, to ensure the residence you are considering will be the right place for you, we do encourage you to investigate the philosophy of the residence and its parent company (if applicable). Speak with the leasing manager about your desires, and talk to others such as the recreation manager or general manager about the culture of the building. Review the resident policy handbook and ask to spend some time with a few people who live there: they can shed personal insight into how an individual’s needs are respected by the staff and the other tenants. – the Residents

Morley Myron came to White Rock to retire - or so he thought.“We moved out here in 1996, from Winnipeg, and I tried retirement for about an hour and a half,” said the 70-year-old, who has been a realtor in the area for the past four years.Retirement was never in the cards for Myron, despite having met his original “freedom 55” target. It’s not that Myron can’t retire; it’s just that he doesn’t want to.“It’s not in my DNA,” he said. “I was born and raised on a farm. I enjoy business; I like the dynamics of business. It’s just who I am.”A few years after moving to the West Coast, Myron became involved with a couple of international golfing projects – in Honduras, then in Belize. “Then, in 2008, when the financial crisis hit, we just put the pause button on …, so I had some time on my hands, so I wrote the real estate course,” he said. “And here I am.”Myron maintains a busy schedule away from the “office” as well. He serves as the vice-president of the South Surrey/White Rock Chamber of Commerce, is an active member of Semiahmoo Rotary, as well as Probus, and leads an overall healthy physical and mental lifestyle.“I work out five days a week and read

two to three books a month as I believe that a healthy body and healthy mind go hand in hand, regardless of age,” he said, adding that, with his competitive personality, the real estate industry is a great fit for him.“The dynamics of the industry are always changing, so it keeps me sharp,” he said. “It is very demanding, but that’s one of the things I like about it.”He doesn’t expect to hang up his realtor’s hat any time soon.“I’ll be doing this until I tip over,” he said.

Spring is the perfect time to turn over a new leaf and start getting active. Introducing regular physical activity into your life is an important fi rst step towards better health, a happier mindset, and more. The whole family will benefi t from increased activity and getting on the road to a healthier lifestyle.There are so many known benefi ts to physical activity and an active lifestyle. Among them are a reduced risk of heart disease, premature death and stroke. Being active has also been proven to help improve self-esteem and confi dence, help you sleep better, increase your energy and reduce depression, among many other things. Furthermore, it helps maintain functional independence, mobility, and bone health.For many of us, it can be quite daunting to take that fi rst step towards an active lifestyle. And it can be more challenging to start something new without any help. The good news is residents of BC have access to a free physical activity counselling service called the Physical Activity Line (PAL). Through a phone call or online, qualifi ed exercise professionals are available to provide exercise and physical activity advice and help you develop a customized physical activity plan for every member of the family, from children

to older adults.When it comes to physical activity, more is better. To

achieve the health benefi ts, it is important to try and progress towards the Canadian Physical

Activity Guidelines, which recommend at least 60 minutes of physical activity

per day for children and youth and 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous intensity activity each week

for adults. Adults and older adults should also add muscle- and bone-

strengthening activities that work the major muscle groups at least twice a week to help with balance and prevent falls for those with mobility impairments.Physical activity doesn’t have to mean playing a sport or going to the gym. Playing a family game of tag, going for a swim or taking a walk outside with the family pet or to the store to get groceries count towards the physical activity recommendations.Try out something new; you may fi nd your new favourite activity! In any case, you’re bound to have some fun and feel like a happier and healthier you.

The Physical Activity Line is available Monday to Friday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m in the Lower Mainland, toll-free at 1-877-725-1149. For more information, visit www.physicalactivityline.com or email [email protected].

Other physical activity resources include ParticipACTION (www.participACTION.com) and Healthy Families BC(www.healthyfamiliesbc.ca).

New productionGone With The Wind (1939),

starring Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh, is now considered one of the most celebrated productions of the golden era of Hollywood. But few knew that David O. Selznick’s risky venture of filming the Margaret Mitchell best-seller came close to being a total disaster.

White Rock Players Club’s latest production, Moonlight and

Magnolias by Ron Hutchinson (Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd., April 2-19), directed by Ryan Mooney relates an exclusive – and hilarious – behind-the-scenes view of a movie in trouble.

With filming already underway Selznick (Fred Partridge) fires original director George Cukor and abandons the existing adaptation. Pulling strings to get director Victor Fleming (Ryan Johnson) reassigned from megaphoning Munchkins for The Wizard of Oz, he then locks Fleming, himself and ace screenwriter/script doctor Ben Hecht (Paul Ferancik) in a hotel room for five days in a desperate attempt to create a new shooting script, with the aid only of bananas, peanuts and loyal secretary Miss Poppenghul (Laine Henderson).

Costume design is by Laura McKenzie, with set by Tim Driscoll and props by Naomi Mitchell and Rosemary Schuster.

Performances are at 8 p.m. with a 2:30 p.m. matinee Sunday, April 13.

For tickets ($18, $16 students, seniors and Coast Capital Savings members), call 604-536-7535, or visit www.whiterockplayers.ca

Directed by Jaquollyn Keath, with musical direction by Kerry O’Donovan and choreography by Carol Seitz, the production features James Walker as Sir Joseph Porter, First Lord of the Admiralty, Dodi Barillec as captain’s daughter Josephine, Mike Friesen as her beloved, lowly sailor Ralph Rackstraw, and Paul Beckett as the Captain.

Also featured in the cast will be Breanna Branson as Buttercup, Kevin F. Hrankowski as the boatswain, Clive Ramroop as Dick Deadeye and Elaine Francis as Hebe.

To suggest Earl Marriott grad Adam Svensson is merely having a good university golf season is something

of an understatement. And if there was any doubt

of that, the 20-year-old Barry University sophomore quashed it last weekend in Eatonton, Georgia, when he won his fifth NCAA Div. 2 golf tournament of the season, carding a three-under-par 67 in the final round of the Bobcat Invitational.

Svensson was the only golfer in the 93-player field to break par for the 36-hole tournament, finishing at one-under par. He also had a tourney-best eight birdies. The tournament’s third round was cancelled due to weather.

Svensson’s five victories set an all-time

school record for career wins. He’d already set Barry’s single-season wins mark when he won his fourth tournament earlier this month in Austin, Texas.

“It feels pretty good to break the record,” Svensson said. “It was brutal conditions, and I just kind of stuck in there. It’s a special win, knowing that it’s a record-setting win for Barry.”

He is currently the NCAA Div. 2’s top-ranked male golfer, and the Barry Buccaneers are the No. 1-rated team in the United States.

And for Svensson – who transferred to the Miami Shores, Fla. school last year after originally committing to Div. 1 University of Nevada-Las Vegas – the secret to his recent success on the links is about as simple as can be.

“Not making bogeys,” he told Peace Arch

News last week, when asked what the key to his game has been of late.

Aside from that, he said not much has changed in his game this season, though he admitted his confidence on the course is as high as it’s ever been, thanks in large part to extended work with his Barry University coach Jimmy Stobs.

“I’ve been working a lot down here in Miami… trying to keep the ball in the middle of the fairways, playing conservative, and just letting the birdies happen,” Svensson said.

“I’ve been playing pretty well lately, so I’m pretty happy.”

For Svensson, who enrolled at Barry for the last year’s spring semester just in time to help the school to a national Div. 2 championship, being on such a red-hot streak is nothing new. It compares, he said, to the run he went on in the summer of 2010.

That summer, then 16 years old, he won a B.C. Junior Golf championship, a B.C. amateur championship and a Callaway Junior World Championship all within the span of a month.

“That was similar, it felt kind of the same,” he recalled, adding that the experience he gained as a junior golfer is helping him now in high-pressure tournaments.

“Mostly, it’s all just about getting more experience, and knowing what to do in certain situations,” he said. “But those big tournaments helped me a lot, experience-wise.”

Next up for Svensson and his Barry teammates is their school’s own tournament, the Bucanner Invitational, set for March 31-April 1 at the Normandy Shores Golf Club in Miami Beach.

“I’m… looking forward to the break before we play at home,” he said.

They may not have dupli-cated their success from ear-lier in the month, but the Semiahmoo Ravens’ midget A1 team still finished the sea-son on a positive note.

A few weeks after captur-ing a Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association Tier 1 league banner, the Semiah-moo Ravens’ midget A1 team moved on to provincials in North Vancouver, and though they won just once in five games, they capped the tournament March 19 with an impressive come-from-behind 5-5 tie against Prince George.

“Things didn’t quite pan out the way we wanted them to, but all the games were close – there were a lot of ties this year – and we played hard,” said Semiahmoo coach Matt Muscardin.

In that final contest, Semi trailed until the final minute, when Craig Tindle tied the game with just 28 seconds remaining.

Though Prince George still

had something to play for in that game – they point they earned from the tie pushed them into the finals – Semi-ahmoo was by that point eliminated from contention.

That they still battled to tie the game impressed their coach.

“The game meant nothing in the standings, but that’s the thing about our guys – they never quit,” Muscardin said.

Prince George ended up finishing second – losing to Kelowna later in the day.

Semiahmoo opened pro-vincials with a 6-2 loss to North Vancouver, though for the most part, Muscar-din said the game was much closer than it appeared on the scoreboard.

“The score did not quite reflect the level of play,” the coach said.

The next day, the Ravens snagged their only win of provincials, defeating Juan de Fuca – the Vancouver

Island champs – 3-1. In their third contest, Hol-

lyburn edged the Semi squad 6-3 in yet another game Mus-cardin said was closer than it appeared.

The Ravens trailed 4-3 until midway through the

third period, when a pair of late goals extended Holly-burn’s lead and put the game out of reach.

On the penul-timate day of the tourney, Semi lost 5-2 to Kelowna.

“Kelowna is a very strong team, and they played well,” Muscardin said.

Overall, Muscardin said he was pleased with how his team’s season went, and was especially happy with his team’s playoff performance, both in league and provincial championships.

“We were ninth in the reg-ular season, so it was up-and-down. But we had some injuries, and we just came together well (in playoffs),” he said.

Aquasonics win goldThe BC Aquasonics – which count a

handful of South Surrey swimmers among its ranks – won gold at Synchro Canada’s national qualifier championships earlier

this month in Montreal. The Aquasonics’ senior team – Surrey’s

Anna Seiler, Madyson Stickley and Erin Williams, plus White Rock’s Mackenzy Higgins – posted a score of 71.33 to win gold with their Atlantis routine.

The Aquasonics’ 13-15-year-old combo team – which includes Surrey’s Jessica Friesen, Seray Sefayi,

Courtney Armstrong and Nancy Zhang – also won gold with their hockey-themed routine.

Sefayi also qualified to compete at nationals after finishing 16th in the solo event.
