A retired Assistant Surrey Fire Chief and local senior is showing no sign of slowing down with his recent haul of medals at the 2015 Police and Fire Games.
Bill McNamara, 74, returned home with eight medals along with an induction into the fi rst-ever Police and Fire Games Hall of Fame.
Th e games were held in Fairfax, Virginia from June 26 to July 5.Since the fi rst games held in San Jose in 1985, McNamara has won 51 medals in total – 13
gold, 17 silver and 21 bronze. Over the years he has held seven games records.“Every two years I would tell myself, as long as I make the podium I’ll go to the next games,”
said the fi t, energetic senior, “and every year I have done it, so I couldn’t stop.”Going into this years event, McNamara had won 43 medals, and since this year was his 50th
wedding anniversary, his goal was to get seven medals to match his years of marriage. He overshot his goal, however, winning eight medals in the eight events he entered.
McNamara has been competing in the 70-74 age group but because few competitors are able to compete at his age, he competed in the 60-65 age category for two events – and still fi nished in the top three.
One event was the stair race, a timed race up 29 fl oors where he placed second and the other was 4 x 400m relay where he and three other competitors won gold and broke the games record. Th e record would have been a Canadian record as well, however one of the Canadian runners got injured and had to be replaced with a runner from France, making the team ineli-gible to the national title.
“It was the last event on the last day and that made it so exciting,” he saidWhen he joined the fi re service at age 30, McNamara realized he needed something to keep
up the level of fi tness needed to work in the physically demanding world of a fi refi ghter and having seen many older fi refi ghters suff er serious health issues due to declining fi tness, he didn’t want that to happen to him.
“I was a pretty fi t guy when I fi rst started, but I started running track to keep fi t, mostly the 400 and 800-metre,” he said, “because those races get your heart rate up quickly and you need to maintain that level which is very similar to when a call comes into the fi re hall.”
He realized fi tness was not only the key to his job but to enjoying life after retirement. “I live a pretty healthy lifestyle. I eat well, and I do enjoy a nice glass of wine occasionally,
too. Really nothing has changed, it’s just that now I have to work a little harder.”Despite having a few aches and pains in the morning, having supportive family and friends
is what motivates him.Th roughout the year McNamara maintains a busy schedule, balancing gym and track
workouts up to six days a week along with many volunteer commitments, including being on the board of directors for both the Surrey Museum and Archives and the Surrey Christmas Bureau.
Although he feels his pace is beginning to slow, maintaining a high fi tness level remains his main motivation. He has no plan to stop competing.
His goals include the World Masters Track and Field meet in Perth, Australia next year, but he’s trying to let his body recover before he makes any fi rm commitments.
“I have always prepared myself to be ready for whatever comes,” he said, “and my plan is to keep going until I drop.”

One man is dead and a police offi cer wounded following gunfi re outside South Surrey District 5 RCMP offi ce early Saturday.
According to police, offi cers responded to reports of a “suicidal” man scream-ing outside of the offi ce – which is located in the 1800-block of 152 Street and shares the building with Semiahmoo Library – at approximately 2:30 a.m. July 18.
“A physical struggle ensued and the male was shot by an offi cer,” a news release states. “Th e individual has died. One of the police offi cers involved was injured as a result of the confrontation and was transported to hospital for treatment.
“Th e police offi cer suff ered a non-life-threatening gunshot wound, the circum-stances of which are under investigation.”
Th e news release did not indicate the victim’s identity, whether he was armed or who fi red the shot that struck the offi cer.
At a makeshift memorial site the next day, the deceased was identifi ed to

A funeral is scheduled for today for a popular realtor who was gunned down at his Cloverdale home during an attempted break in.
Th e family of Colin Hill announced on Facebook there will be a service at Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre on July 22.
Ten days ago, Hill confronted a 22-year-old man trying to break into his home in the 16500-block of 64 Avenue just before midnight.
During the confrontation, the suspect shot and killed the 42-year-old. Th e attacker then fl ed in a stolen vehicle.
Hours later in Burnaby, RCMP were called to reports of a man brandishing a gun in an apart-ment complex and arrested Surrey’s Khouri La-mar Green, who police believe was involved in
Hill’s shooting.Green has been charged with sec-
ond-degree murder. His next court appearance is scheduled for Sept. 14.
In a Facebook post, Hill’s wife Becky Zhou said he led the would-be robber outside to give the family time to hide.
“Colin is the best real estate agent, very protective father (and) very best husband a person could ever ask for,” she wrote.
Th is afternoon, there will be a view-ing at noon, a service at 1 p.m. and burial at 2 p.m. Victory Memorial is at 14831 28 Ave.

Funeral today for slain man
Black Press as 20-year-old South Sur-rey resident Hudson Brooks.
Surrey RCMP deferred comment to the Independent Investigations Offi ce (IIO), which investigates offi cer-relat-ed incidents of death or serious harm and has taken over the case.
Kellie Kirkpatrick, executive director of public accountability for the IIO, said Monday circumstances – includ-ing how many offi cers were involved and how many shots were fi red – were under investigation.
As of Monday afternoon, no updates on the investigation had been issued by authorities since Saturday, but social media posts and tributes at the South Surrey Skate Park indicate the circumstances surrounding it have left many wanting answers.
“…the cop had no right to pull that trigger,” one friend of Brooks’ wrote on Facebook, describing him as “such a good guy.”
Another commenter questioned why three offi cers weren’t able to sub-
due Brooks without lethal force.“Can’t they use Tasers on unarmed
people… Th ey did not need to shoot him. He was in distress.”
Th e victim’s father, Matt Brooks, spoke to Black Press at the site but declined public comment.
Witnesses told CTV News they heard a young man screaming for help just before the gunfi re.
Late that afternoon, 152 Street between 18 and 19 Avenues remained closed to traffi c, and police could be seen in the covered parking area of the District 5 offi ce.
At the South Surrey skate park Mon-day morning, expletives and angry messages directed at police – including “kid killer” – were scattered across the bowl and other park features.
Kirkpatrick said she could not estimate how long the investigation would take, noting the IIO offi ce has “no control” over the time it takes to receive third-party expert reports.
Anyone with information or who witnessed the incident is asked to contact the IIO’s toll-free witness line at 1-855-446-8477.

Dr. Paul van Buynder, the vice-pres-ident of population health and chief medical health offi cer, resigned to return to his native Australia last October, receiving just over $167,000 for the truncated year.
He was replaced by Dr. Victoria Lee, who had previously served as an execu-tive medical director, and collected total com-pensation of $280,700 last year.
Other Fraser Health executives on the authority’s disclo-sure of highest paid positions included Peter Goldthorpe,
the vice-president of corporate services and facilities, who received
total com-pensation of $280,000, and Roy Morton, the interim vice-pres-ident of medicine and regional programs, who received $265,500.
The $2.3 million in combined compensa-tion of the executive positions disclosed by Fraser are about 0.07 per cent of the health authority’s $3.1-billion budget.
University pay disclosures
Post-secondary institutions in the region also released their executive pay
disclosures this month.
Simon Fraser Uni-versity president and vice-chancellor An-drew Petter received total compensation of $440,000. Amounts in addition to his base salary of $328,870 include pension, ben-efits, a $7,175 vehicle allowance and an on-campus presiden-tial residence valued at $26,510 per year.
SFU paid Petter and five vice-presidents a total of nearly $1.7 million last year.
Kwantlen Poly-technic University’s highest paid executive was president Alan Davis, with total compensation of near-ly $233,000. Davis and five other high-est paid executives received a combined $1.1 million in 2014.
The University of the Fraser Valley paid its president, Mark Evered, just under $230,000. He and five vice-presidents whose pay was disclosed were paid a combined $1.2 million.

I noticed while walking around the expensively cared for, fenced and seldom used ball fi eld at Holly Park I was walking in soaking wet grass, due to, of course, the ball fi eld having been well watered.
Consuming this unnecessary vast amount of water for a ball fi eld during these extremely dry drought conditions that are getting worse not better, when everyone has been asked to cut down on their water use, is absolutely unconscionable and shameful from a city govern-ment that appears diffi cult to shame.
Why should people cut down on their personal water use when this sort of stupidity from the city continues? Feels like a huge slap in the face to Joe Pub-lic. If the City of Surrey expects people to cut back their water
consumption due to drought conditions and a very low water supply, they desperately need to start setting an example of what exactly this looks like.
Sally Hawkins
Have you noticed the latest degra-dation of standards on TV news? In addition to sensational depictions of crime, accidents and celebrities, the lineup now incorporates any nonsense that is momentarily “viral” on the Internet.
So it was with an online petition singling out Swiss food corporation Nestlé, which operates a water-bot-tling plant near Hope. It’s the largest in B.C., one of many that bottle the province’s water and sell it back to a gullible public.
Th is petition is courtesy of Su-mOfUs, one of those self-appointed environmental watchdogs that seem to pop up like mushrooms overnight. “Fighting for people over profi ts,” they claim, pitching for donations.
Th e story has what U.S. comedian Stephen Colbert calls “truthiness.” Th at’s when something is false, but it “feels” true.
“Nestlé is about to suck B.C. dry – for $2.25 per million litres to be exact,” says the SumOfUs headline.
Using her keen sense of what’s
superfi cially popular, Premier Christy Clark instantly called for a review of these low rates for selling the people’s water.
It then fell to Environment Minister Mary Polak to explain what’s really going on.
“People keep saying there’s a deal with Nestlé,” Polak told reporters. “Th ere isn’t. Th ey pay the same as any other industrial user, in fact the highest industrial rate, and it goes for anything from hydraulic fracturing to bottled water, those involved in min-ing for example, any of those heavy industrial uses.”
And why is that rate so low? It’s because the province takes great pains not to “sell” water, which would make it a commodity under trade agree-ments, like oil or minerals. Th at would surrender provincial control, and allow the U.S. to press for equal access to Canadian water.
“You’re buying the right to use the water,” Polak said. “I know it sounds crazy to the public, but we call it a rental – a water rental. Th ere’s a rea-
son we use that language, because we are very careful to avoid any sugges-tion that by paying this amount, you therefore own that water.
“Th at reserves for us the right at any time, for a compelling public need, to say stop. It doesn’t matter if you have a licence.”
As for the brazenly false claim that Nestlé is sucking B.C. dry, I’m indebt-ed to a real environmental profession-al named Blair King for explaining this. (His blog, achemistinlangley.blogspot.ca, off ers useful technical explanations of issues in the news, many of which contradict so-called environmentalists.)
King notes that the bottling plant uses less than one per cent of the fl ow through Kawkawa Lake:
“If Nestlé stopped operating (and put its 75 employees out of work and stopped paying municipal taxes) would there be more water for the rest of us?” he writes.
“Absolutely not. Kawkawa Lake
drains its excess water into the Fraser River, which drains into the Strait of Georgia. Neither the Fraser River at Hope nor the Strait of Georgia is particularly short of water, even in the driest of years.”
Clark made one useful contribu-tion, when asked about this urgent non-issue by those seeking to further sensationalize the current drought and forest fi res.
She correctly noted that most B.C. residents have access to the best tap water in the world, and have no need for bottled water.
Nestlé, Perrier, Coke, Pepsi and oth-er companies have done a fantastic job of convincing people that their drink-ing water has to be delivered in bottles from some mythical pure source.
Here’s a tip, Nestlé critics: Fill a jug with water and stick it in the fridge. Fight the corporations.
Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.
Highways and bridges – which worsen urban sprawl, air pollution, road carnage and poor transit usage – can be constructed, widened or erected right left and centre in this area without any need for a local levy, because they serve the needs of the speculator, developer, and car dealer oligarchs who call the shots, democ-racy be damned.
It is high time, for the benefi t of all of us except these privileged very few, that public transit – deliberately destroyed by the same clique (ripping up streetcar tracks and cancelling interurban trains) for the same reasons – be restored as our number one transportation solution, without any need for any special levy, because it serves us all best, even and perhaps especially the folks in Abbotsford, Chilliwack, and Hope, who choke on our car and truck exhaust, which the winds and mountains funnel down their throats.

INBOX6 The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Wednesday July 22 2015
Surrey City Council will make a decision at a public hearing on July 27 that will serve as an excellent litmus test to confi rm whether their loyalties ultimately lie with taxpayers and home-owners or with developers.
Local residents strongly oppose a pro-posed high-density duplex development across the street from an established Grandview Heights neighbourhood of single-family homes. To approve it, council would have to ignore commonly accepted development practices and Surrey’s own development policies regarding sensitive interfaces or tran-sitions between suburban neighbour-hoods and new urban subdivisions.
New development should proceed in a reasonable, thoughtful way that respects the rights of nearby residents who want to live in their homes rather than sell to developers.
Th is precedent-setting decision will aff ect all Surrey neighbourhoods.

Metro Vancouver is expected to declare a move to stage 3 water use restrictions this week, banning all home lawn sprinkling.
Th e next step in water conservation eff orts, expected to be formally announced Wednesday, would also ban the refi lling of hot tubs, pools and garden ponds, among other tighter restrictions on outdoor water use.
Metro’s previous move to stage 2 restric-tions had cut allowed lawn sprinkling from three times a week to just one day.
Th e sprinkling ban covers not just residen-tial and commercial lawns but all parks, cemeteries and boule-vards.
Th ere are no longer exemptions for water-ing of newly seeded lawns or on ones treat-ed with nematodes to fi ght chafer beetle infestations.
Sports fi elds and school yards can still be watered at minimal levels to keep them playable.
Golf courses can still water greens and tee areas, but the move to stage 3 means fair-
ways can no longer be watered and will be allowed to go brown.
Residents can still water shrubs, trees, vegetables and fl ower gardens using hand held hoses, but only if they have a spring-loaded shutoff nozzle.
Watering cans and drip irrigation systems
are still allowed, but there’s no watering of gardens or planters using sprinklers or soaker hoses.
Hosing off vehicles and surfaces and all forms of pressure washing are also banned, except for health and safety purposes, as well as commercial pressure
washing to prepare a surface for painting or sealing.
Stage 3 restrictions are expected to remain in place until Sept. 30, after they take eff ect.
Metro offi cials would still have one more weapon left in their water conservation arsenal.
Stage 4 restrictions in the regional dis-trict’s Water Shortage Response Plan would prohibit all forms of watering with treated drinking water, shut down indoor car wash-es, and eliminate some other exemptions.
Metro has only once before gone to region-wide stage 3 restrictions – during severe drought condi-tions in 2003.

At least eight people in Surrey overdosed in 24 hours on her-oin believed to have been cut with the powerful and danger-ous analgesic Fentanyl.
None of the eight died, as they were quickly administered Narcan, temporarily interrupt-ing the Fentanyl effects until the patient were hospitalized.
Police sent a sample of the drug to the lab for examina-tion, and found it was almost all Fentanyl.
Surrey RCMP issued a warn-ing just before 9 p.m. last Wednesday (July 15) after eight people overdosed – three in Whalley, three in Guildford and two in Newton in just one day.
Police said another two heroin addicts overdosed since then, but it’s not known if they are related to the Fentanyl. Those two survived as well.
While they couldn’t say by what order of magnitude, the number of overdoses in the one day was far above what emer-gency responders usually see, according to police.
In at least three instances, extreme life-saving measures had to be taken.
Police are recommending pre-cautions offered at knowyoursource.ca
It recommends that if addicts are going to use, don’t take drugs alone, and to start with a small amount.
Early overdose signs include severe sleepiness, slowed heart rate, trouble breathing, cold, clamming skin or trouble walk-ing and talking.
If you think you or someone you are with has overdosed, call 9-1-1 immediately.

Cyclists are starting to use Surrey’s fi rst secure bike parkade at King George Station, the second of several parkades TransLink intends to open at SkyTrain stations.
One already exists at Main Street-Science World and offi cials say more are on the way at Commercial-Broad-way, Metrotown and Joyce-Collingwood as those stations are upgraded.
Cycling advocates say the 70-space King George parkade is a boon for Surrey-area cycle commuters who want to ride their bikes to SkyTrain and take transit from there.
“Th is can accom-modate a lot more cyclists,” said Gordon Hall, co-chair of bike advocacy group HUB.
Th ere had been a long waiting list for the 60 existing rented bike lockers at King George. Th e station has the highest demand for bike parking in the region because bikes can’t be taken on Sky-Train during rush hour in the peak direction.
Bike theft had been a major problem for cy-clists who locked their bikes elsewhere in the area, Hall said.
Cyclists sign up for an account with TransLink at translink.ca/bikeparkade and then get a key card to access the locked room, where they lock up un-der video surveillance.
Hall and others predict the new bike parkade will make it easier for cyclists to confi dently store their bikes and take transit, rather than drive. It’s much cheaper than the $8 a day to park a car at the adjacent King George park-and-ride lot.
Cyclists pay TransLink $1 a day to use the parkade (after an $8 initial regis-tration fee) and the maximum charge is $8 per month no matter how much it’s used.
Th at’s also cheap-er than TransLink’s rented individual bike lockers, which go for $10 a month.
“It really expands the opportunities for cycling South of the Fraser,” said City of Surrey transportation manager Jaime Boan.
Most cyclists don’t want to bike more than fi ve to 10 kilometres to work, Boan said, adding secure bike parking at King George
is within that comfort-able biking distance for large numbers of residents in Newton, Guildford and Fleet-wood.
Surrey has been steadily adding des-ignated bike routes at a rate of about 12
kilometres a year. Th ey now crisscross
much of the city and include completely separated bike paths, on-street bikeways and recommended neigh-bourhood routes.
Boan and Hall both think there’s potential for at least one more bike parkade in the Surrey City Centre area.
“The city’s doing a really good job of building safe cycling networks with really safe, quiet neighbour-hood routes,” Hall said. “This is the next stage.”

SHEILA REYNOLDS
A man found guilty of the fi rst-degree murder of a pregnant
mother in Surrey near-ly 10 years ago has lost a bid to overturn his conviction.
Amjad Khan was con-victed in June 2013 in the stabbing death of 21-year-old Tasha Lynn Rossette at her home in November 2005.
Khan’s appeal was dismissed by three B.C. Court of Appeal justices this week.
Rossette, a single mother of a three-year-old daughter who had another child on the way, was stabbed doz-ens of times near the entry of her basement suite near 72 Avenue and 142 Street.
Khan and another man, Naim Saghir, faced trial twice in connection to the grue-some murder.
During the fi rst trial, both were found guilty of fi rst-degree murder by a jury in 2008. Th ey appealed the convic-
tion, however, and were granted a new trial, which took place in 2013.
During the second, judge-on-ly trial in 2013, Saghir was acquit-ted and Khan was again found guilty.
At trial, the Crown alleged Khan wanted Ros-sette dead because she was carrying his child (poten-tially shaming his family) and refused to get an abortion. Th e two knew each other from high school but had a more recent sexual relationship. Prosecutors theorized that Khan arranged the murder and Saghir did the actual killing.
In appealing his con-viction, Khan argued, in part, that because the charge alleged both he and Saghir killed
Rossette, the acquittal of Saghir should have resulted in his acquittal as well.
In their July 13 decision, three appeal court justices disagreed with Khan’s assess-ment.
“Th e Crown’s theory was that Mr. Saghir was the killer, but
proving this was not part of the Crown’s burden in establishing the guilt of the appel-lant. It only had to do so to convict Mr. Saghir,” reads the July 13 de-cision by Justice Edward Chiasson, with Justices Daphne Smith and David Harris in agreement.
Khan also argued the trial judge failed to consider the con-text of a comment he made to a fe-
male witness that he’d “dealt with it” when she asked about the pregnant woman.
Khan also argued the judge didn’t properly assess the credibility of “unsavoury” witnesses – a man with a prior criminal past who testifi ed Khan tried to hire him to kill Ros-sette, and a roommate of Saghir’s who some-times dealt drugs.
Again, the appeal court judges found the trial judge’s fi ndings sound.
Th ey said while the woman didn’t recall some parts of the con-versation, she clearly recalled the comment.
As for two men, the appeal justices found their testimony was assessed appropriately by the judge.
“He found them to be unsavoury witness-es and treated their evidence accordingly,” wrote Chiasson in his decision.
Khan, who operated a dial-a-dope operation, testifi ed at the trial, admitting he’d spent time with Rossette the night she was killed, but saying he dropped her off at her home and went home. He denied arranging to have any-one kill her.
Khan will continue to serve his life sentence with no chance of parole for 25 years.

Two Surrey pharmacists have been honoured for their achievements at the 2015 BC Pharmacy Association (BC-PhA) Pharmacy Awards.
Jennifer Chan, a pharmacy manager with Save-On-Foods in South Surrey, is the recip-ient of the 2015 Takeda Magnum Opus Award, which recognizes a pharmacist who has completed ad-vanced training or education with the goal of promoting improved patient care.
Chan has ascribed to lifelong learning and has a commitment to optimizing patient care. She has achieved advanced training as a cer-tifi ed diabetes educator, a certifi ed insulin pump trainer, an injections certifi ed pharmacist, and a travel health vaccine provider.
“I’m really honored to receive this reward because I feel like I am simply pursuing my passion for advanced clinical knowledge and training to better the level of care that I can ultimately provide to my patients,” she said.
To make the most of her training, Chan provides educa-tional seminars to community physicians. She routinely off ers community health clinics and screening tests on topics such as foot neuropathy, cholesterol, diabetes, and sleep hygiene.
Chan regularly collaborates with the BC Lung Associa-
tion to provide workplace seminars on smoking cessation to team members within her company.
She also gives educational presentations at community pharmacist events, at health and wellness fairs and at seniors’ homes.
Allan Wong, a pharmacist/owner with Shoppers Drug Mart in Surrey, is the recipient of the 2015 Ben Gant In-novative Practice, which recognizes a BCPhA member who has demonstrated signifi cant innovation in his practice and the profession.
In collaboration with the UBC Faculty of Medicine, Wong created the fi rst ever community pharmacy elective for family medicine residents. Th is course gives soon-to-be family doctors exposure to the practice of phar-macy and demonstrates how collaboration works in a real-life setting.
“What a humbling experience,” said Wong. “It’s an honour to receive this award and be recog-nized by my pharmacist peers.”
While an associate-owner at Shoppers Drug Mart at the Jim-my Pattison Outpatient Centre in Surrey, Wong was instru-
mental in forging relationships with doctors, nurses, and personnel at Fraser Health Authority. Th e creation of this UBC elective is an example of Allan’s hard work building relationships in the health-care community.
Wong’s pharmacy was also one of 22 locations across BC selected for the innovative “Genomics for Precision Drug Th erapy in the Community Pharmacy” project.
Th e BCPhA Pharmacy Awards recognize pharmacists and others who have played an essential part in the profession.
Th ree local women have won top spots in the recent Miss, Miss Teen and Mrs. BC Pageant in Fort Langley.
Surrey’s Kirti Singh is Miss Fraser Valley, Surrey’s Ramneet Kang won the People’s Choice, and Heather Davies of Delta was awarded Miss Congeniality.
Th e pageant’s rules are diff erent than others. Th ere is no maximum age limit to participate, nor are there height and weight requirements.
Also, among the contestants are women who are single parents.
Th e charity for the Miss BC Pageant is the Cops for Can-cer Tour of the Canadian Cancer Society. Since 2007, the contest has raised more than $225,000 for the cause.

After losing twice to the fi rst-place North Shore Twins, the North Delta Blue Jays had to watch the B.C. Premier Baseball League scoreboard Sunday to learn their playoff opponent.
Th e Jays dropped 12-4 and 19-6 decisions to the Twins, who clinched fi rst place in the 12-team 18-and-under league with the two victories.
With a 21-23 win-loss record over the 44-game regular season, the Blue Jays know they will be
on the road for a best-of-three quarterfi nal series next week-end.
But after the Twins split with the Whalley Chiefs Sunday at Whalley Stadium, the Jays had to wait until after the Chiefs and Coquitlam Reds played yesterday (Tuesday) to learn their playoff opponent. Th e game was played after Th e Leader press deadline.
North Delta could have clinched sixth place on their own Saturday with a pair of wins, but allowed 31 runs over 13 innings and lost twice.
North Shore outhit their hosts 15-4 in the fi rst game, with two singles from Noah Or, a double from Braeden Miller and a triple by Logan Newman accounting
for North Delta’s hits.Th e Twins led 5-1 after one
inning, then the Jays chipped away to cut the diff erence to 5-4 after four.
Another fi ve-run inning by North Delta in the fourth inning blew the game open.
Th e Twins again jumped on the Jays early, scoring nine times in the top of the fi rst inning, add-ing fi ve more in the fourth and another four runs in the sixth. Th ey scored their 19 runs on just seven hits, drawing 13 walks while the Jays were charged with four errors.
Miller, Clint Taylor and Trevor Gentleshad two hits each for North Delta, with Davis driving in a pair of runs.

Round 2 Public ConsultationApplication to Amend Permit No. 2012 – 072 Direct Transfer Coal Facility
July 17 – August 21, 2015
Fraser Surrey Docks LP (FSD) has applied to amend its existing permit from Port Metro Vancouver that gives it approval to build and operate a Direct Transfer Coal Facility within its existing lease area.

• Read the Discussion Guide and submit your Feedback Form:
• Online
• By email
• By mail
• Provide a written submission
• Register by phone or email to attend a small group meeting (see details at www.fsd.bc.ca/amendment)

With one game remaining on their B.C. Premier Baseball League regular season sched-ule, the Whalley Chiefs know they are in the playoff s.
But who they will play, and where they will fi nish in the standings, was to be determined in their fi nal game last night (Tuesday) against the Coquitlam Reds.
Th e Chiefs hosted the fi rst-place North Shore Twins Sunday for a dou-ble header at Whalley Stadium, and after split-ting the two games sit in sixth place with a 21-22 (win-loss) record. With a win Tuesday, Whalley will remain in sixth and visit the Langley Blaze in a best-of-three quarterfi nal series next weekend. A loss drops the Chiefs to seventh
and sends them to Van-couver Island for a series with the second-place Victoria Eagles.
Whalley could have clinched sixth place with two wins Sunday, but settled for the split.
Th e Chiefs kept pace with North Shore for fi ve innings of the fi rst
game, until the regu-lar season champions scored three unearned runs with two outs in the top of the sixth inning.
Whalley took an early lead in the third inning when Matt Legg singled to score Ryan Kaplanis from third. Th e Twins
pulled even in the fourth.
Legg and Th omas Espig each had a pair of singles, accounting for Whalley’s four hits in the game.
Starting pitcher Alex Deluca took the loss, pitching fi ve and one-third innings and allowing two runs (one unearned) on six hits and a pair of walks.
Whalley blew a 5-0 lead in the second game, but quickly regained the lead and went on to a win. With the Chiefs leading 1-0, Kaplanis hit a three-run double in the bottom of the second, then scored on
an infi eld error putting the home team up by fi ve runs.
North Shore replied with fi ve runs in the top of the third inning on three hit and four walks, but the Chiefs went ahead again in the bot-tom half of the inning on another double by Kaplanis which scored Owen Napieralski.
Kaplanis added his fi fth RBI (run batted in) of the game in the fi fth, inning a single that scored Napieralski.
Matt Legg and Napieralski each had a pair of hits in the game, with Legg driving in two runs.
