Andrew Leduc’s family angry fatal accident deemed not criminal

No charges in year-old hit-and-run

No time to relax: RCMP

Anti-gang tactics laudedJeff NagelBlack Press

The battle against gangs in B.C. has made big advances but now is not the time to relax, a top B.C. Mountie told a conference on youth-gang prevention in

Surrey Thursday.RCMP Chief Supt.

Dan Malo said he believes redoubled community efforts and new policing tactics can further dent orga-nized crime and pre-vent a resurgence of the gangland bloodbath of five years ago.

“We’re down in the statistics,” Malo told

delegates at the Acting Together gang-prevention conference organized by Kwantlen Polytechnic University.

“A number of (gangsters) are in jail, a number of them are dead, a number of them have changed their behaviour and others we have forced to change their behaviour.”

There have been just three gang-linked murders in B.C. so far this year, way

A family is angered that no charges will be laid against a con-tractor for the RCMP who left the scene after running down Andrew Leduc last year.

A civilian consultant working with Mounties on a traffic accident investigation was involved in a fatal hit-and-run on Aug. 7, 2013 in the 19500-block of Langley Bypass.

The driver of the semi-truck was

eastbound in the curb lane at 3 a.m. when he struck and killed Leduc, 37, of Langley.

The driver did not stop to render assistance.

Leduc died at the scene.The consultant driving the semi-

truck had been working that day on a re-creation of an accident involv-ing a semi-truck that killed Surrey RCMP Const. Adrian Oliver in November 2012, at the intersection of 64 Avenue and 148 Street.

Thursday, RCMP said criminal charges will not be laid.

Leduc’s brother Adam told CBC News he was extremely upset to receive the news.

“I was pretty shocked. I was pretty angry,” he said.

“I can’t see how you can hit a guy like that, leave him lying in the street to die and continue on and no charges whatsoever, not even a traffic ticket.”

Surrey RCMP Major Crimes Sec-

tion concluded its investigation after eight months, but Mount-ies called in the Office of the Police Complaints Commissioner (OPCC) to ensure the integrity of the investigation.

This month, the OPCC ruled the RCMP finding was correct.

As the driver was not a police officer, the incident did not fall under the purview of the Indepen-dent Investigation Office (IIO).

A North Surrey doggie daycare has been shut down by the city amid reports that the owner was alleg-edly taping dogs’ snouts shut.

But the owner has kept operating, despite the fact the city continues to issue fines for operating without proper permits.

Noise complaints about the daycare at a home in the 10900-block of Partridge Crescent came about six months ago, according to Surrey’s manager of bylaw

enforcement Jas Rehal.Then came accusations

of abuse – that the dogs’ mouths were being taped shut.

Rehal said bylaw officers witnessed that, and alerted the Society for the Preven-tion of Cruelty to Animals.

The SPCA is currently investigating the com-plaints.

At the end of June, Surrey pulled the daycare’s busi-ness licence.

Rehal said the daycare is continuing to operate, despite the fact three to four fines of $500 apiece

have been issued.The city is now examining

its legal options on how to close the business down.

Rehal said the city wants the fastest resolution to the problem.

There are a total of 31 doggie daycares in Surrey, he said, and no such com-plaints have been received about any of the others.

“No, I checked that yes-terday, and this is the only one,” Rehal said.

Periodically, there are complaints elsewhere of dogs barking, but nothing that can’t be resolved.

Frustration grows as long-promised, city-owned redevelopment site remains vacant

Cloverdale business leaders scold Surrey’s ‘mess’Jennifer LangBlack Press

The sign says Coming Soon: Cloverdale West Village, but business leaders in the his-toric town centre are bracing for a long wait until the project breaks ground, and patience is running out.

There’s growing frustration that the long-promised project – bounded by the Clover-dale bypass and 57 and 58 Avenues – won’t get underway anytime soon.

Last week, fears of a 10-year timeline or longer to develop the old Cloverdale mall site prompted the president of the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce to speak out, call-ing the City of Surrey and the Surrey City Development Corporation “neglectful and

downright insulting to our community.”

The Cloverdale Cham-ber is actively lobbying for improvements on the site in the short-term, Brian Young said, add-ing a private developer would be expected to clean up the mess but the SCDC is “wholly owned” by the city. Its mandate is

to develop city-owned properties such as the former “Safeway” mall site.

“It’s not on the (City of Surrey’s) 10-year capital plan,” Young said.

“So what is it, is it 10 years or is it 20 years?” Young added Cloverdale businesses and

residents will be living with “a vacant mess” on the largest frontage the town centre has – Highway 15, or the Cloverdale bypass.

The old Cloverdale mall was demolished in 2011 as part of a city-backed, multi-phase plan to redevelop the site with a mix of residential and commercial buildings, helping revitalize Cloverdale.

The overall project developer is the Surrey City Development Corporation, along with Townline Housing Solutions.

The project’s first phase was shelved at the start of 2012 due to market conditions. It was to have included a new home for Cloverdale Legion.

Site servicing concluded six months ago. Since then, there’s been virtually no activity.

The site – in particular the lack of a sidewalk on the north side of 57 Avenue – is the also a top priority for the Cloverdale Business Improvement Association.

Months after crews laid down roads, side-walks and servicing required to redevelop

the site, pedestrians wishing to cross from downtown to West Cloverdale must navigate over rough gravel along a bumpy pathway bordered by pristine cement curbs.

“This is part of a project that the City of Surrey owns that is missing a sidewalk,” Clo-verdale BIA executive director Paul Orazietti said. “It’s not bad if you’re an able-bodied individual, but I have seen several people, both in gurney and also on wheelchair, who have a really tough time negotiating this.”

Several mattresses were recently dumped nearby, and an RV was parked in the middle of the site for a few days, raising suspicions

that the future Cloverdale West Village is being used as a freebie campsite.

“The city needs to be vigilant and the city needs to help us. It’s their property,” Orazietti said, adding that it’s vital to existing busi-nesses that the project starts soon.

“Having this particular property is so criti-cal because it creates a bridge with Brickyard Station, Highway 10 and the east,” he said. “It becomes a core. When people are living here, they don’t necessarily want to drive to Langley for a coffee and other things, and for restaurants and other services.”

The property is one of the most complicated plots in the city to develop, he added.

“We’re looking at it as a major road block to any further development downtown,” said Rob Paterson, the newly-elected president of the Cloverdale BIA, who remembers when the site was a baseball field.

“It’s high time that something has hap-pened. All we seem to get is excuses and

dodging from the developer and the city,” Paterson said.

And as much as the former mall was an eye-sore, the overflow parking it provided during community events is missed, he said.

Young agrees, wondering why the city took away an amenity like parking only to leave the site vacant for 10-plus years, “and watch the businesses close.”

Young said the city promised that the fence along the bypass would be removed, the gar-bage cleaned up and the site beautified by June.

Chamber director Ben Wevers said that after years of believing that the city had Cloverdale’s best interests at heart, it’s gotten to the point where frustration has simply boiled over.

“We’re getting tired of this,” Wevers said.“Especially in an election year. The people

of Cloverdale aren’t going to sit back and look at an empty property for 10 years.”

An SCDC spokesperson could not be reached.

Job action delays financial filings for 2013

$29.85 million to run City of White RockTracy HolmesStaff Reporter

The cost of running the City of White Rock last year grew only slightly from 2012, according to the city’s latest annual report.

The statement – released after the province’s June 30 deadline, due to the city strike last spring – details how much money was received by the city and where it was spent.

In total, White Rock spent $29.85 million last year – about $150,000 more than the year before, when spending totalled $29.7 million, but $2.77 million less than bud-geted.

In a July 28 report to council, financial services director Sandra Kurylo explains the savings are

the result of sanitary and storm sewer work that was deferred, reduced costs in the RCMP con-tract and other city budgets, as well as unused contingency funds.

“In summary, the city ended the year 2013 in a sound financial posi-tion,” Kurylo concludes.

She told Peace Arch News Friday that the city was not penalized for fil-ing the information after deadline, as she kept provincial officials in the loop regarding the strike by city workers.

“It had an impact, of course, on our workload and resources,” she said. “They were aware we were

going to be late.”Other highlights include a

$118,137 reduction in the city’s outstanding debt (to $139,152 as of

Dec. 31) and a jump of just over $5 million in the city’s accumulated surplus.

The cost of salaries, wages and benefits grew by $267,000 over 2012, to $12,091,359.

Amongst staff, the highest-paid employee was city manager Dan Bottrill, who received $183,944 (including unused vaca-tion and other banked time paid out) plus $7,218 in expenses. The city’s director of engineering, Greg St. Louis, was second-highest, at

$146,698 remuneration and $1,158 in expenses.

Mayor Wayne Baldwin received $59,798 plus $9,861 in expenses (up from 2012, when Baldwin’s remuneration was $59,023 and his expenses totalled $9,831); councillors each received $28,569 remuneration, down slightly from $28,689 in 2012.

The councillors’ expenses ranged from a high of $9,506 (Coun. Bill Lawrence) to $3,106 (Coun Grant Meyer).

Council remuneration was a hot topic last year, after staff were asked to review the amounts paid.

The review determined the pay fell short when compared to that of mayors and councillors in other

similar-sized communities, with the mayor’s pay the most noticeable discrepancy – at nearly $13,000 below the average of his peers.

In November, council narrowly endorsed staff recommendations to calculate the mayor’s pay based on the average of that given to Port Moody, Pitt Meadows and Langley City mayors; and, to pay council 40 per cent of that amount.

The increase is to take affect Jan. 1, 2015, after November’s civic election.

A special council meeting to take public comments and questions on the annual report is set for 7 p.m. Thursday (July 31) at city hall.

Written submissions will be accepted until 4 p.m. Thursday.

Malo said it’s becom-ing clear a police strat-egy of pressuring pro-lific gangsters to make life uncomfortable and rob them of their power and influence is helping.

He said it’s also clear earlier enforcement in B.C. failed because gang members “weren’t being touched” while they spent lavishly and developed the attitude they were “superstars” who could kill at will.

Youth in B.C. cities were recruited and sucked into the vortex of violence.

“Many of these young kids went from street level bullying to drug trafficking to extor-tion to contract killing in a matter of a few years, when traditional organized crime takes decades to do that.”

Past policing suc-cess was measured too much by the number of bad guys jailed or kilograms of cocaine seized, Malo said, and focused heavily on taking out top crime kingpins.

Today, he said, more effort aims to change attitudes and behav-iours.

The new endganglife.ca campaign of B.C.’s anti-gang police unit plays on emotions of gangsters with imag-ery of loved ones left behind after they’re dead.

Malo said it worked on one ex-Lower Main-land gangster, who recently agreed to exit the life rather than imagine his child hav-ing to bury him.

The biggest chal-lenge was answering the man’s question of what he would do now to keep earning $6,000 a day.

Malo said officers arranged for the ex-gangster to enter a training program for a job that will pay well.

“If they choose to exit that lifestyle, we’re going to help them do that,” he told delegates. Community groups can play a huge role in helping build strong character in youth and “give them role mod-els that are not Jamie Bacon.”

While there have been signs of success, there are also trouble spots.

“Now is not the time to take our foot off the gas,” he said.

Parents are being urged to watch for telltale signs their teen is a dial-a-doper – the bottom rung of drug-dealing organized crime.

The indicators – access to a vehicle, carrying multiple cellphones, going out at all hours of the day and night on quick errands – are spelled out in detail in a new booklet released by B.C.’s anti-gang police unit.

The guide, titled Understanding Youth and Gangs: A Parent Resource, aims to help parents recognize and ward off the start

of gang involvement.It focuses on dial-a-dope drug

deliveries because that’s the main entry point for many youth who enter gangs or organized crime activity, said Sgt. Lindsey Houghton of the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU-BC).

The entry-level trade is not lucrative like gang recruiters make it out to be, the guide says, arguing most could make more money working fast-food restaurants but instead expose themselves to great risk.

Dial-a-dopers are often under

extreme pressure, it says, because they often rack up debts and will be held responsible by gangs for any product that’s stolen or fronted without payment.

The guide, developed in partnership with the Acting Together (AT-CURA) Project and the South Asian Community Coalition Against Youth Violence, is to be translated into other languages, including Punjabi, Chinese and Vietnamese.

Police and community partners will distribute the new booklet province-wide. It’s also online at endganglife.ca.

A senior was stabbed to death near the Front Room Drop-In Centre in Whalley early Fri-day, sparking a manhunt for his killer.

At about 6:30 a.m., Donald Williams Deweyn, 63, was fatally stabbed outside the building in the 10600-block of 135A Street, colloquially known as Whalley’s notorious strip.

Deweyn had no criminal record, police say.

The Integrated Homicide

Investigation Team (IHIT) has taken custody of the investiga-tion. A motive for the killing has

not been determined, but police say witnesses heard an argument between Deweyn and another man.

It is Surrey’s tenth murder of the year.

Surrey has typically seen about 13 murders a year over the last decade, except for last year when it hit an all-time high of 25.

IHIT is asking anyone with information to contact their tipline at 1-877-551-4448 or to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Canadians love the sun so much, it’s killing us.

After being cooped up for months at a time to shelter from the cold, and in the case of the Lower Mainland, interminable rain, we rejoice at the first days of warm sunshine. By now, in late July, we’re positively basking in it (last week’s rainstorm notwithstanding).

Problem is, we don’t like to cover up and we’re loath to slap on some sticky, oily or runny sun screen to protect our skin.

And that’s leading to an alarming increase in skin cancer, according to a report released last month by the Canadian Cancer Society, Statistics Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada.

The report says there will be about 6,500 new cases of malignant melanoma diagnosed in Canada this year. That’s the deadliest, most insidious form of skin cancer that will kill more than 1,000 Canadians.

Another 76,100 cases of non-melanoma skin cancers will also be diagnosed. Those are less serious and can usually be treated in the doctor’s office.

Unlike many other forms of cancer, the incidence of skin cancer is actually going up rather than down. For men, the rate went up two per cent between 1986 and 2010. For women it increased 1.5 per cent. Mortality rates also increased.

Also, the Canadian Cancer Society is worried about risky behaviour of young adults, who are most likely to use tanning beds and who tend to spend the most time in the sun without protecting themselves.

Consider that a single, blistering sunburn before the age of 20 can double a person’s chance of developing melanoma. Thus it’s even more important that young people cover up, wear hats, sun glasses and lip balm and seek shade.

While it might be a little much to ask people to stay indoors, it’s not a big deal to put on that shirt, roll down those sleeves, slap on that hat and slop on that sunscreen.

And pay heed to the UV index that’s become a standard feature of most weather forecasts to avoid the sun’s rays when they’re at their most damaging.

Such precautions will be especially important this week, as a forecasted heat wave is expected to see temperatures approach – even surpass – 30 degrees.

Stay safein the sun

Published at South Surrey by Black Press Ltd.

opinionPeace Arch News

A recent column on the B.C. government’s decision to raise speed limits on portions of rural

highways excited numerous comments from readers.

Some questioned my suggestion that today’s new drivers are worse because they spend their formative years staring at screens in the back seat instead of looking out the window and grasping the grim physics of the real world.

There is no doubt that B.C.’s graduated licensing system for new drivers is more difficult than what my generation faced. Those vehicle stickers with the “L” (for learner) and “N” (for novice) have been around since 1998. The two steps make getting a full driver’s licence a longer, more difficult and expensive process.

Statistics provided by ICBC show what new drivers are up against.

First there is the written “knowledge test” to obtain a learner’s permit. From 2004 to 2008, more than half of applicants failed in their first attempt. Things improved in subsequent years, with a 46-per-cent failure rate in 2009 declining to 42 per cent by 2013.

The first road test is required to go from

“L” to “N” and it seems sufficiently harsh. The failure rate has been consistently around 47 per cent in the past six years. More practise and another $35 are

required to try again.Students fare better on the

second road test, where the failure rate has consistently been 21-22 per cent for the past decade.

ICBC reports that in the first three years of the graduated licence program, the new driver crash rate dropped by 16 per cent. In 2003, the required learner and novice periods were extended, and restrictions on the novice stage were increased. New driver crashes fell by another 28 per cent.

Those restrictions include the number of passengers and a “zero tolerance” for alcohol.

Impaired crash and injury statistics aren’t available for drivers in the graduated licence program, only fatalities. They grew as more new drivers were enrolled in the new system, to a high of 24 in 2007, but that declined to 14 by 2012.

There will always be young people who drive impaired, speed or make other fatal errors. But it’s difficult to argue that today’s system in B.C. is lenient.

A couple of readers were concerned about the effect of higher rural speed limits on older drivers. One suggested that higher limits on rural highways are a poor mix with vacationing seniors hauling around oversized motorhomes, trailers and boats.

Another cited the coming wave of retired baby boomers and added a likely increase in marijuana-impaired drivers, all emboldened by the invitation to drive faster.

B.C.’s medical health officers issued a letter denouncing the decision by Transportation Minister Todd Stone to raise speed limits. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall said the research is clear that higher speeds increase the risk and severity of incidents.

Then there is the government’s own position, articulated in a road-safety strategy released last year by Attorney General Suzanne Anton.

“Research is conclusive that at higher speeds, more people are killed and injured in the traffic system,” it states. “At lower speeds, fewer are killed and injured as a direct result of the safety buffer that lowered speeds create.”

The strategy notes that new technologies such as adaptive cruise control are becoming available. B.C. is also testing electronic highway speed-limit signs that change with weather and traffic conditions.

Next comes self-driving vehicle systems, so drivers will be able to check their phones again.

Canine debatedogs walkersEditor:Re: Archaic rule over dogs, July 10 letters.

The other evening was beautiful. With a full moon, lights on the pier and lots of people enjoying it, except for the time the train came and honked right when it got to me and practically blew my eardrums, it would have been perfect.

I was talking to a friend and out of the blue, she said, “you know I am glad they don’t allow dogs here.”

I would have taken offence, since I am so pro-canine companions, though I listened to what she had to say. She explained that small dogs do not usually leave messes, however, larger ones do, small dogs can bark and they can be annoying but larger dogs are more intimidating.

Some dogs – like mine, who I have trained from a puppy to be obedient and not bark without reason – are fine in a public area, but some are not well trained and jump all over people, bark at them, poop on the sidewalk, etc. For those reasons, she would not be an advocate for allowing dogs on the promenade.

I am a pretty liberal person and I appreciate a good argument and have to accept other people’s opinions if they are warranted.

When I read the letter accompanying the one noted above (Much left behind on your beach, July 10), it kind of proved her point.

Maybe not even people shouldn’t be trusted on the beach.D. Barros, White Rock

Re: Not the place for dog walkers, July 15 letters.

In response to Ron Crawford’s letter in the PAN – yes, Mr. Crawford, I am aware of the dog beach area at Crescent Beach. We have visited there many times in the 26 years we lived in South Surrey.

Perhaps White Rock should have a similar rule to Crescent Beach, where pets are not allowed on the promenade from May to September, but are allowed during non-tourist months. It is still a beautiful vista in cooler temperatures, as long as you are dressed for it.

I do not think it is feasible to drive 15 minutes to take my dog to the beach when I live two blocks from the beach in White Rock.S. Ozero, White Rock

Limited worry over rail safetyEditor:

U.S. President Barack Obama recently made changes to rail safety in Washington and Oregon.

Thousands of the unsafe oil tankers and toxic chemical cars are unsafe, yet they pass from Washington through White Rock many times a day. We don’t have to worry about missiles, as these cars are bombs that can kill thousands in a second. We need our prime minister to be as decisive as Obama.

We are a resort town, and

sometimes 100,000 people are on the beach. We must cross the tracks.

Trains have increased from five to 22 a day and are now more than 100 cars long. The rail was built more than 100 years ago to carry logs, not oil, coal and anhydrous ammonia, as well as sulphuric acid and over a dozen more toxic chemicals.

When the tide is out, we can actually walk the sand to Blaine, Wash. Semiahmoo Bay is shared by all of us and is a rich ecosystem. A disaster would affect Canadian and U.S. towns and waters.

I wonder why our Canadian government has not taken any steps towards the safety of all of us.Janice Miller, White Rock

Has anyone noticed how absurd the debate about the trains through White Rock is becoming?

The tracks are 100 per cent safe to walk on if there is not a train coming. The trains announce themselves loud and clear from many hundreds of metres away.

(Editor’s note: Railways have long warned of dangers of trespassing on their property, especially on newer, quieter tracks with quieter trains.)

The only time people get themselves in trouble on the tracks is if they have a monumental lapse of judgment, like running with headphones in front of a train, or if they are unable to make an evaluation of where they are, like the poor soul suffering from dementia,

who wandered onto the tracks.Either of these conditions could and

do happen on any other roadway. If you lived on a street where a car came by only once an hour, warning from a great distance, would anyone advocate spending thousands of dollars to build overpasses or unsightly fences lining the road?

Let’s face it, the tracks are not going to be moved. Too expensive. But we don’t have to make a less-than-ideal situation a lot worse by destroying the beauty of our waterfront.

I do like the idea of a zipline from North Bluff, as advocated in this paper by letter-writer David Edwards though (Rail solutions well within Peninsula’s reach, July 24 letters). John Wright, Surrey

File photoAt least 150 people in opposition to White Rock’s plans for Johnston Road attended a meeting, say letter writers.

Editor:Re: City under fire for entranceway plan, July 22.

Your story belongs on the editorial page.Its intent is not to faithfully record the events of the

public meeting; rather it presents White Rock Coun. Al Campbell’s and Mayor Wayne Baldwin’s defensive post-meeting reactions in the subtitle (“Councillor critical of challenges to ‘expert opinion with guesswork’”) and front-page paragraphs. Details of public opinions expressed at the meeting do not appear until near the end on page 4.

Are we to hope the forthcoming ‘independent’ engineer and arbourist reports will be free of city influences?

There were at least 150 people in opposition at the meeting, not 60.

Why should the business community’s opinion rank higher than those of the tax-paying public? This is the entrance to the city, not just to the business community.

Johnston Road landlords have not, in general, beautified their properties.

Road and sidewalk work will have to be redone when redevelopment occurs, at public expense.

Conspicuously absent from the article are several poignant and informed questions from the public. What safety studies warrant doubling the driving lanes/widening the sidewalks? ICBC’s claims information is 13 years old. Why were the roads, sidewalks and trees installed the way they were 40 years ago?

We still don’t know how far down the infrastructure is or why the curb side is higher than the sidewalks. Background information was not presented.

The city is committed to many provincial/national environmental programs, such as “the carbon footprint,” which are ignored in this city proposal.

At the public meeting and follow-up task force meeting, the city admitted that the budget has already been virtually depleted, with $30,000 having been spent to develop detailed roadwork proposals before the public was consulted.

Should council, staff and the business community dictate works projects and policy in this fashion?Denise Grant & Barry Belec, White Rock

Sidelined in SurreyRe: Residents preserve beauty, July 17 column.

Columnist Frank Bucholtz makes some excellent observations regarding how Surrey “developers push staff and council to squeeze the highest density possible out of properties, no matter how it changes the character of the area.”

An example in our neighbourhood is the plan to remove all three of the iconic trees on the south side of 31 Avenue just to the east of Croydon Drive. This is partially to facilitate the construction of a 500-unit mini-storage complex but mostly to facilitate an

expansive parking lot.There is no effort on the

part of the developer, city staff or the Mayor Dianne Watts-led sheep on council to amend the plans to save even one of these trees.

Going forward, I don’t expect any change in the business model of council

under the leadership of hand-picked Linda Hepner to replace Watts – you can almost see the puppet strings.

More than half of our neighbours signed a petition – including a number of police officers – outlining concerns over crime, noise and traffic, with no effect on the outcome. We even suggested the city establish a public walkway under the hydro lines to eventually allow residents to walk to Morgan Crossing; this was also ignored. They would rather have people take their chances on the narrow unimproved shoulders of Croydon Drive, where traffic is increasing in volume and speed.

No one knows how long it took for these three trees to grow, but their impact on the environment and the quality of life in this corner of Surrey will never be replaced by any pitiful tree-planting program – or “little more than hush money,” as described by Bucholtz – paid to the city.Wayne Mercer, Surrey

Surrey RCMP have taken over the investigation of a fire that tore through a South Surrey home July 18.

Deputy fire Chief Dan Barnscher told Peace Arch News Thursday that the case was turned over to police after fire investigators concluded its cause was suspicious.

Fire crews responded to the blaze, in the 16500-block of 24 Avenue, around 6 p.m. July 18.

When they arrived, flames were already through the two-storey building’s roof, making

it was too dangerous for firefighters to go inside.

It was “heavily damaged,” Barnscher said.

Police blocked 24 Avenue to traffic between 164 and 168 streets while firefighters worked.

No one was home when the fire broke out.

Officers with the Mounties’ plainclothes unit are investigating. Anyone with information as to how the fire started is asked to call 604-599-0502.

Help Prevent Heart Attacks with Vitamin C and Lysine Powder

Why is heart attack the num-ber one killer in this coun-

try? Ninety-nine percent of doc-tors say it’s due to atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries) and that cholesterol lowering drugs are the primary way to treat it. But I suggest cardiologists have closed minds and are ignoring facts that could save thousands of North Americans from coronary attack.

Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mor-tar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Two-time Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Linus Pauling reported twenty-five years ago it takes a mere 10 milligrams to prevent scurvy, but several thou-sand to prevent heart attack.

Williams Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Wellington University in New Zealand, proved Pauling was right. Stebhens’ research showed that coronary arteries closest to the heart are under the greatest pressure. This causes collagen to fracture resulting in the formation of a blood clot and death.

Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proven that vitamin C can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took ret-inal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later additional pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries.

Sixteen years ago following my own coronary attack, cardiologists claimed it was sheer madness for me to re-fuse cholesterol-lowering drugs. Instead, I decided to take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal.

I knew that Dr. Graveline, a physician and NASA astro-naut, had twice developed transient global amnesia from taking cholesterol lowering drugs (CLD’s). I was also aware that patients have died from CLDs. Others have developed kidney, liver and muscle complications. I also believed the research of Pauling and Stehbens irrefutable. Now, the work of Dr. Bush has convinced me my decision was prudent.

But to take large doses of vitamin C and lysine requires swallowing many pills daily. It’s a tall order for those who dislike swallowing one pill. So for several years I’ve been trying to find a company that would manufacture a com-bination of vitamin C and lysine powder. Now Medi-C Plus™ is available at health food stores and specialty phar-macies.

The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination is one flat scoop mixed with water or juice with breakfast and the evening meal. Those at greater risk should take one flat scoop three times a day.

This column does not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. That is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors.

As for me – I bet my life on vitamin C and lysine! I turned 90 this year.

perspectives…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Sarah MassahStaff Reporter

Dozens of Peninsula princes and princesses will have the opportunity to meet the queen this

August.Queen Elsa, that is. The blond monarch from Disney’s smash

hit, Frozen, will be on hand at the annual White Rock Princess Party Aug. 23 at Star of the Sea Community Centre.

The entire fundraiser has been influenced by the movie, organizer Myra Merkel told Peace Arch News.

“Our theme for this year is ‘unfreeze your heart’ and the focus is on being more loving, being kind and being accepting,” Merkel said.

The White Rock grandmother started the Princess Party five years ago as fundraiser for an all-abilities park in White Rock, which her son, White Rock firefighter Evan Bird, had first suggested after the August 2010 loss of a playground in Semiahmoo Park.

Over the last five years, in conjunction with the White Rock Firefighters’ contributions, approximately $50,000 has been raised for the park – a far cry from what is needed.

“It’s like a stepping stone,” Merkel said, noting that a park like the one she envisioned could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. “We don’t have an exact date yet, but as the parties grow and more people become aware, the closer we get.”

Each of the Princess Parties combine fun and education, as Merkel and co-organizer Alyssa Nielsen put a strong emphasis on inner beauty and tie in character qualities such as kindness, friendliness, courtesy, thankfulness, courage and community spirit.

For example, this year, the children will be able to decorate cookies in the shape of snowmen and snowflakes – a nod to the movie – for the caring cookie activity, Merkel said.

“We’ll engage them in conversation about what it is to be caring,” Merkel explained.

She noted that the kindness is not only restricted to the kids. Many local

businesses have offered their assistance for this year’s party, including White Rock’s Spiritual Ingredients Bakery, who will be donating all the cookies, icing and sprinkles, as well as offering their services to create a Frozen cake for the raffle table.

“You can see their generous hearts just thumping,” Merkel said. “I really want to involve local businesses because I want to surround myself with good people who inspire me.”

The mini royalty will also participate in a number of activities that include a cake walk, making bracelets and other crafts. So far, the response has been overwhelmingly positive, with 126 of the 200 spots filled.

Last year, the fundraiser brought in $13,111 for the all-abilities park, and this year, with community support, Nielsen and Merkel hope to beat that and perhaps spread the message to other communities.

“For me, personally, it’s a lot of work, but I get to be part of creating a legacy and I feel so lucky. I always say to myself, ‘aren’t I lucky that I get to meet so many wonderful

and generous people and I get to hang out with people who are making a difference,” she said. “I really want to inspire others in the community to do something like this.”

And this year, Merkel and Nielsen will have help from her two granddaughters, as well, who asked to volunteer instead of just participating.

“That was the most beautiful thing. Through being a role model and setting an example, now the girls want to do it. I see a few years from now, all these princes and princesses being the ones that volunteer,” she said.

Raffle prizes, donations and sponsorship are still needed. Contact Merkel at 604-538-8000 to help.

Cooking with VijA dozen lucky food

lovers were treated to a cooking lesson and dinner created by Vancouver chef and celebrity Vikram Vij.

Members of Solaris Management Consultants and DMCL Chartered Accountants were the winners of the 2013 Partners in Caring Gala live-auction package.

The 12 diners were treated to a five-course meal and wine pairings by Okanagan Crush Pad Winery at South Surrey’s Kitchen Therapy.

Gas-tax fundA new agreement

on the federal gas tax fund translates to extra dollars for the City of White Rock to use on infrastructure and capital projects.

In a report to council July 14, financial services director Sandra Kurylo said the city will receive $105,207.95 this year, and a similar amount annually for the next decade, if it signs off on the 2014 to 2024 Community Works Fund Agreement.

Previously, gas tax funding was largely allocated to TransLink.

“It’s nice to get a little of it back,” said Mayor Wayne Baldwin.

The new injection will have to be tracked in a separate yearly report, which must also assign interest.

The money can be used for “quite a range” of projects, Kurylo said, citing road work, sports and solid-waste management as among possibilities.

The new agreement is being administered on behalf of the region by the UBCM. Once in place, funding will be received semi-annually.

Council voted unanimously to authorize Baldwin and the city clerk to execute the agreement.

New parkThe City of Surrey has

opened a new park.The West Newton

Community Park, at 13008 59 Ave., is a 3.5 hectare green space with a playground, walking loops, shelters and Surrey’s first cricket field with natural grass wickets – making it a potential regional sport-tourism destination.

The park’s grand opening was celebrated

Saturday (July 26) with cricket demonstrations, face painting, entertainment and other activities.

Beach heroesVolunteers with

Friends of Semiahmoo Bay Society’s Beach Hero marine interpreter program will be out and about during this weekend’s

White Rock Sea Festival, raising awareness of local intertidal habitats and helping

to mitigate potential sandcastle damage.

The program provides conservation-minded information, as well as important health, safety and fisheries information, to beach

visitors and the general public.

Marine interpreters will be manning a tent on East Beach from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Aug. 2 and 3. Those interested can join a free beach exploration to learn about plants and animals that call the beach home, and how to protect them.

Guided explorations will leave from in front of the tent – set up near the bear statue – at 1

and 3 p.m. on both the Saturday and Sunday.

At the tent, visitors will be able to view local intertidal animals in an aquarium, play games and learn more about issues and conservation efforts in Boundary Bay, which is top-rated Important Bird Area in Canada (out of 600 sites) and a provincially designated B.C. Wildlife Management Area.

THIS IS THE LIFEWhite Rock’s global flavours

Have you ever wanted to make Mexican quinoa salad?

What about fish tacos or oven-roasted Greek potatoes?

Seniors have the chance to improve their culinary skills this fall with recipes from around the world.

Tasty Connections, a five-session program, will run for the second time at Kent Street Activity Centre in White Rock.

Designed for seniors who may have difficulty cooking for one, participants will make a different full-course meal each week.

“It’s been really successful, and this shows there is a real need for it in the community,” says Diane Sawicki, community recreation co-ordinator for White Rock Leisure Services.

The program, which began this spring, filled up fast with local seniors. The next sessions run on Thursdays from Sept. 2 to 30 and Oct. 16 to Nov. 11, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.

The recipes are nutritious and feature plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. Participants eat the full-course meals as a class and bring home the leftovers.

Many of the recipes will be new

to participants, but the dishes are designed to be approachable and easy to replicate at home.

Food from many different cultures is incorporated, including foreign flavours that could become mainstays in the participants’ kitchens.

Registration begins in late August, and more information can be found in the fall White Rock Recreation Guide, which will be delivered with the Peace Arch News around that time.

During the summer, Mexico’s diverse cuisine was featured.

The class of a dozen seniors made creamy corn and chayote chowder, Mexican quinoa salad, fish tacos, salsa and mango-blueberry bread.

For Greek night, they whipped up Greek salad, hummus and tzatziki dips, spinach and cheese pie, oven-roasted potatoes and baklava for dessert.

“The hardest time during the day for some seniors is at dinner time when they are alone,” says Kent Street kitchen instructor Pat Faulkner.

“It can be difficult to cook for just one person, and this is a way to meet new friends.”

Many seniors face the challenge of becoming widows or widowers, which can make preparing dinners for one a difficult and emotional time. Often they wouldn’t make full-course meals at home.

But by joining the cooking class, participants have the benefit of working with other people in a social setting.

They prep the ingredients, cook the dishes and eat together. The leftovers are brought home after – an easy way to keep eating nutritious food during the week.

Students from the South Surrey/White Rock Learning Centre help out in the kitchen, and have made meaningful connections with the seniors.

By learning about different kinds of international dishes, the students also improve their culinary skills.

Tasty Connections has an exciting lineup of recipes for the fall and classes are sure to fill up fast.

For more information, call 604-541-223, and see the fall recreation guide for registration details.

Kent Street Activity Centre is located at 1475 Kent St., White Rock.

Now is the perfect time to enjoy a good book, either outside in the fresh air or

curled up on the sofa. White Rock Library has plenty

of reading options that seniors will likely be interested in.

“A large percentage of people who use our library are seniors and they have very wide-ranging tastes,” says Jessica Armstrong, with information services.

Here is a list of some of the most popular authors for seniors this summer:

• Louise Penny – Penny’s mysteries, featuring chief inspector Armand Gamache, takes place in Quebec.

Her latest book, Long Way Home comes out in September and features Gamache as he relaxes away from the front lines in the tranquil village of Three Pines.

But when his friend, Clara Morrow, asks for help, he can’t bring himself to refuse her, despite the old wounds it threatens to re-open.

Clara’s husband, Peter, is missing, having failed to come home on the first anniversary of their separation, as promised.

As Gamache journeys further into Quebec, he is drawn deeper into the tortured mind of Peter, a man so desperate to recapture his fame as an artist that he would

sell his soul. As Gamache gets closer to the

truth, he uncovers a deadly trail of jealousy and deceit.

• Lee Child – These action-packed thrillers, which feature the infamous character Jack Reacher, are known to be page-turners.

A new book in this series, Personal, is coming out in September and traces Reacher’s steps as he tracks down a sniper who tried to kill the French president.

Tracking the shooter will take Reacher from France to England, in the search for a killer with a treacherous vendetta.

He’ll need to uncover who did the hiring and what’s behind the assassination attempt before executing his orders.

• Jeffrey Archer – Archer’s latest book, the fourth in the Clifton Chronicles, is called Be Careful What You Wish For.

The novel opens with Harry Clifton and his wife Emma rushing to the hospital to learn the fate of their son Sebastian, who has been involved in a fatal car accident.

But who died, Sebastian or his best friend Bruno? Expect plenty of twists and turns in this action tale.

• Maeve Binchy – Binchy, who passed away in 2012, was known

for her short fiction and novels. Her last book, Chestnut Street,

was recently posthumously published.

It’s a fictional story, but the Dublin portrayed is very real: A city changing over the years in ways that come vividly to life in these stories of its residents and their families.

Binchy wrote the stories over several decades, reflecting the city and people of the moment –always with the idea of one day making them into a collection with Chestnut Street as its centre.

Advice from people who live in the Peninsula Retirement Community:

Dear Residents: My mom would love the social atmosphere of a retirement residence, but she doesn’t want to consider it, though she knows nothing about it. Any ideas on how to convince her to take a tour? – Loving Daughter

Dear Daughter: At our residence, we often meet the children on a tour before they bring their parents. This way they can provide an informed description of the residence and share some of the pictures and literature with their mom or dad. But, don’t try to force a tour on your mom: this will just make her feel pressured and resistant. Instead, introduce her to the concept informally: ideally, if you have a friend who has a relative living in a retirement

residence, set up a visit with them one afternoon with your mom. If not, speak to a residence marketing manager about what events or activities they have planned that your mom may be interested in. Keep the visit focussed on enjoying that event without discussion of considering it for her future home. This will give her a pleasant introduction and she may become open to learning more. Eventually, when she is ready to consider it, a trial stay in the residence guest suite will really help her understand what the social opportunities are at a residence, and make her feel confi dent in making a decision. – the Residents

Hope for Osteoarthritis: 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 and 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.

Road trip tips for seniors Seniors need to take

special precautions when travelling in the

warm summer months. A little extra planning

can go a long way toward ensuring an enjoyable holiday.

For summer road trips, Victoria Lee, medical health officer with Fraser Health, recommends having an air conditioner in your car.

While seniors can sometime rely on fans and drinking plenty of water to stay cool, in extreme weather an air conditioner

may be a necessity. “If it’s very hot outside,

it’s probably best to delay travel,” Lee advises.

Here is a list of other safety tips for senior drivers provided by Canada Safety Council:

• Have a vision and hearing examination done before setting off on a road trip.

• When travelling, always wear your eyeglasses and hearing aid.

• Give yourself time to adjust to new eyeglasses and have them checked on

a regular basis. • Make sure to use

medication correctly and know how it will affect your driving, including being aware of any harmful side effects.

• Minimize background noise, including keeping radio volume on the lowest setting.

• Avoid driving long hours to get to your destination.

• Try not to drive at dusk or dawn when visibility is difficult. When driving in rain, reduce speed and increase following distance.

Full, rich lives“It all centres on choice,” says Director of Recreation, Karen Gill. “We have at least seven off erings per day, fi ve days a week.” Whitecliff residents select independently between creative workshops; customized fi tness classes in modern facilities; events like movie nights, shopping trips, gardening groups, excursions to theatre, concerts,

and museums; and educational seminars and lectures.

Six domains of wellnessRevera feeds people’s six needs for wellbeing: physical, social, intellectual, emotional, vocational, and spiritual. “We tailor activities to residents’ preferences,” explains Karen. “We have a ‘conversation of favourites’ to learn their interests, look for emerging trends and then organize programs around those.”

Life—the way you shape it Revera’s priority is to make resident experiences exceptional through a variety of programs and activities. “We promote physical, cognitive and nutritional wellness at Whitecliff through Revera’s Rev It Up

program, and we are the only retirement home in Canada with Dakim Brain Fitness – computer games that keep seniors mentally sharp,” say Lifestyle Consultants, Kellie Besseling and Eve-Lynn Yacoub.

Fabulous foodLike all Revera kitchens, Whitecliff features top-quality ingredients, prepared fresh and served at the correct temperatures.

“Fresh food tastes better and puts smiles on people’s faces,” says Edwin Brunink, National Director of Culinary Services. Menus identify dishes with reduced salt, fat and sugar.

Amenities abound in a charming settingWhitecliff is a charming sea-side, full-service retirement residence designed for comfort near White Rock Beach and Crescent Beach, the shops and restaurants of the boardwalks, two blocks from a shopping mall, bank and other amenities,

Events, excursions,demonstrations, concerts.And that’s just the morning.Independent seniors at Revera – Whitecliff thrive on choice.At Revera, it’s a familiar refrain: “I should have come sooner – there’s so much to do!” Seniors who expect to fi nd themselves bored at a retirement residence are surprised to fi nd that, at Revera, they end up having fun – doing what they love.

and across the street from Peace Arch Hospital. Residents love to gather in the tea house, fi reside lounge and lush patio gardens.Many of the spacious suites have a garden view and all independent suites have kitchenettes, spacious closets and private bathrooms. Residents love bringing in their own furniture and setting their place up the way they like it. Kellie adds, “Revera is full of active, independent people who like doing things for themselves. Th ey pick the movies and parties they want, such as happy hour with cocktails and snacks. It’s all about understanding people’s needs and providing choices that enable seniors to live life to the fullest.”Christopher Mis, Executive Director at Whitecliff , sums it up: “Here, recreation is simply a part of daily life – we make it fun to stay active and meet new friends. Th at’s the key to enjoying life!”

Sarah MassahStaff Reporter

A White Rock Little Leaguer is the only Canadian set to participate in the United States Speciality Sports Association All-American Games at the end of this month.

Keith Manby was selected for the Pacific Northwest regional showcase team – made up predominately of California players.

The 14-year-old flew to Kissimee, Fla., on July 28 where he will participate in the ESPN Wide World of Sports Showcase Tournament.

Manby participated in tryouts earlier this year in Everett, Wash., where he was tested on a number of skills.

From the tryouts, Manby – who pitches and plays infield – was rated as one of the top hitters and listed as a top performer by USSSA.

“It felt pretty good (to get the results back),” Manby told Peace Arch News.

The Earl Marriott Secondary student will now play a number of games at the American

tournament with players from all over the United States – none of which he has met or played with before.

“The experience of being there and playing with a bunch of people you don’t even know, it’ll be pretty interesting,” Manby said, noting he hopes to one day

play professionally. “Usually California is one of the better places to play baseball.”

Manby and his team – White Rock Bantam AA – won the 2014 Valley of the Champions in Kelowna earlier this month and made it to nationals in Nova Scotia last year.
