TRAGEDY
Tributes pour in for brothers killed in crash
Tributes are pouring infor two young broth-ers, tragically killed
after a single vehicle carcrash on the weekend.
Shane and Jess Moses,age 19 and 16, diedinstantly in the early hoursof Saturday after the carthey were travelling in spunoff the road near StevestonHighway and No. 4 Roadand hit a tree.
The 20-year-old driver ofthe BMW, who police havenot named, was releasedfrom hospital later the sameday after being treated forminor injuries. Police sus-pect alcohol and speed asfactors in the crash.
Flowers and a photo ofthe brothers on a recentvacation serve as a make-shift memorial at the side ofthe road where the tragedy
occurred.The boys’ mother
and stepfather were on acruise at the time and wereexpected to fly back intoVancouver on Sunday night.
On Monday morning,the grief was etched on thefaces of many students atthe Moses brothers’ school,McNair secondary, andscores of them wore blackas a mark of respect for thepopular boys.
Margaret Scarr, schoolprincipal, told how the broth-ers — Shane has just gradu-ated and Jess was in Grade11 — were “very friendly,always smiling and they hada large group of friends.
“Certainly, I knew themand spoke to them in thehallways. This is a devastat-ing loss for the family andfor the community here, it’s
extremely sad.“We’re all very upset and
we’re doing what we can tosupport the students.”
Scarr said the school hascounselling staff on handfor anyone who needs it.
“It’s unthinkable for
the family really and ourthoughts are with them,”she added.
Meanwhile, a memorialpage on Facebook has beenflooded with tributes to theMoses brothers.
“Wow, I can’t believe
this. It still feels like adream. I have great memo-ries of you two guys,” wroteRichard Kostyniuk.

Another post by ArmaneeLorine Noyola said, “JessMoses; outta all the people thatGod could have taken outta thisearth, he took you & shane.You two are his angels, and he
only wanted them back.”Friends of the brothers
gathered Sunday under a giantchestnut tree next to the crashsite to comfort each other.
“Shane was the biggestjoker,” Samantha Holmes-Mcluskie, 17, told TheProvince newspaper.
Shane and Jess were popu-lar kids, she said, goofballswho regularly welcomedfriends at their family homeand whose friends treated themlike family.
They loved movies and cars.“I think we watched everysingle movie on Netflix,” saidSamantha of Shane.

TSS Academy director Colin Elmestold The Province newspaper thepeople running BC Soccer are behindthe times.
“There is a desire on the part ofpeople who run and work for thesetypes of organizations to have prettywell unlimited control over the game,”Elmes said Monday.
He described TSS’s relationshipwith BCSA as “a quasi-membership.”
“If they had their druthers, wewould not even have that.”
Elmes said the business of soccer
has changed drastically.“There’s a lot of money in the
game now. Parents are paying a lot tohave their kids play at a high level,and people are earning good wages torun the game,” he said.
“We’re saying, ‘Stop pretending it’sfive years ago.’”
TSS has been in business since1997. Hundreds of boys and girls agedseven to 16 undergo elite trainingseven months of the year and par-ticipate in team competition for fivemonths.
Elmes said lawyers have advised
him that the relationship between theWhitecaps and the BCSA regardingthe 50-50 draw “smacks of a commer-cial preference.”
He claims the BCSA should nothave entered into the relationship withthe Major League Soccer team, whichalso operates various levels of boysand girls teams, similar to many pro-fessional teams in Europe.
The feud goes back to before 2006,when TSS sued BC Soccer to allow itsteams to participate in tournaments inthe U.S.

Humbled by tsunami’s silence
PHOTOS BY MIKE REDPATH
Sendai, in Miyagi, Japan, was devastated by the tsunami last year (above). Below,Harold Steves talks to one of the students at a high school in a small fishing village inOnagawa. Of the 208 students, 200 were orphaned by the tsunami.
The eerie quiet and thekilometres of barren land,where once thriving townsand villages stood, is whatMike Redpath remembersmost.
“You could sense howquiet it was,” said the City ofRichmond’s senior manager,parks and recreation. “You’dgo into a town completelydecimated by the tsunamiand see nothing but maybe abuilding or two… you can’tbegin to imagine what it’slike unless you are there.”
Redpath was part ofthe four-man delegation— which included veterancouncillors Bill McNulty andHarold Steves and vice chairof the Richmond Sister CityCommittee Jim Kojima —who recently saw first handthe catastrophic destructioncaused when the tsunamiswept across Japan last year.
“It’s humbling and surrealall at once,” said Redpath,who was also the officialphotographer during theirtwo-week trip.
For McNulty, the thoughtof what the students of ahigh school in a small fish-ing village in Onagawa hadto endure is what stays in hismind.
“The high school is up ahill and when the tsunamihit, the students could see thewhole village down belowand watch the waves comein and wash out the entirevillage,” McNulty said, add-ing the village was similarin size as Steveston beforethe tsunami. “Out of 208students in Grades 8 to 12,200 of them became orphansthat day.”
Steves added, “This is themost important trip I’ve everbeen on … and I’ve travelleda lot. We are so accustomedto seeing devastation on ourtelevision screens, but to seeit first-hand is life changing.I was incredibly moved bythe resilience of the Japanesepeople and how positive theyare in the face of all they’vegone through.”
While in Onagawa, thedelegation bought 700 lifevests to be used by studentsin case of a similar emergen-cy. They also brought withthem a $120,000 donation topurchase much-needed itemsfor students in seven schoolsin the region.
McNulty said the$120,000 is part of the$150,000 already raised. Thebalance, $30,000, was heldback pending their trip thereto see what else might beneeded.
“It ($30,000) will beused to purchase more itemson their wish list,” saidMcNulty.
All three agree they willcontinue to raise funds tohelp the people of Japan,especially the orphans fromthe Onagawa region.
In the meantime, theRotary Club of Steveston is
still accepting donations.“We are working on a
five-year program to helpthe students,” McNulty said.“Every penny we raise goesdirectly to aid the peopleof Japan. We also help theeconomy by purchasing thegoods in Japan at a discount-ed price, so any donation ofmoney goes even further.”
If you would like todonate, visit the rotary’s web-site at www.stevestonrotary.org.

Those are similarnumbers to the results ofthe 2001 provincial elec-tion, which saw the NDPreduced to a paltry twoseats, while the Liberalsracked up an historic 77seats.
The poll shows theLiberals have lost sup-port of half the number ofpeople who voted for themin 2009. By my reckoning,that translates into the partywinning just a dozen or soseats if an election wereheld today.
But the election is notbeing held today, of course.It’s set to occur preciselyone year from now, andpolling numbers can changequite a bit by then.
However, there seems tobe precious little evidencethe numbers will change inany significant way. Theseare bleak findings for theLiberals, which raises aninteresting question.
Will Premier ChristyClark actually call an elec-tion earlier than May 2013?
While it still seemsdoubtful an earlier elec-tion call would enable theLiberals to snatch victoryfrom the jaws of defeat, itmight give the party the
best chance to actually sur-vive to fight another day.
Waiting until May2013 before heading to thepolls will likely mean theLiberals will be completelyenveloped by a strongstench of political death.We’ve seen that moviebefore.
In 1991, Social Creditpremier Rita Johnston wentinto the campaign andquickly became a figureof near-ridicule as it wasreadily apparent her partyhad absolutely no chance ofwinning and was going tobe thrashed in the election.
The same thing hap-pened to NDP premier UjjalDosanjh in 2001. The NDPemerged with just two seats.
In both cases, Johnstonand Dosanjh looked likedesperate creatures, playingout the string and marchingwith certainty over a bigcliff.
The NDP, with a com-mitted base of support, wasable to rebuild to the pointof being competitive inthe 2005 election and nowappears poised to regainpower the next time B.C.voters head to the polls.
Clark knows her politicalhistory, and once said sheknew full well the dangersan unpopular government
faces if it waits until the lastmoment before issuing theelection writ.
She has also said shethinks her political strengthis actually campaigning andthinks she can out-fightNDP leader Adrian Dix inan election campaign.
But waiting until the lastpossible moment to cam-paign would rob her of anychance of at least trying tolook competitive. Dix couldsleep-walk through such acampaign and still comehome with a big majority.
However, an earlierelection call could at leastdispel the image of despera-tion, and allow her to lookmore like a gambler. TheNDP is on record as favour-ing elections in the fall— not the spring — so it’shard to see that party vio-lently oppose an early tripthe ballot box.
None of this is to sug-gest an earlier vote wouldtranslate into an electionvictory for the Liberals.If they can become a bitmore competitive, theycould win about two dozenseats — enough to ensurea strong presence as theOfficial Opposition, and abig enough base on whichto rebuild.
And that’s the challengethat now seems to be facingClark and her party. It’s notabout beating the NDP, andis instead all about surviv-ing as a viable politicalparty to fight another day.

The Editor,In light of the tragic death of the two young brothers on
No. 4 Road last Saturday, I’m wondering, if we have gone to agraduating system to help kids get more experience behind thewheel before we fully allow them to drive, why we do not dothe same for the type of vehicle they can drive?
Wake up parents. Sure, you have a lovely car that you allowyour kids to drive, maybe it’s your only vehicle available tothem? But really, all that power for an inexperienced driver?
We all know how kids like to show off. Let us not encour-age this behaviour by allowing them access to such vehicles.
If they drive a vehicle that is only a four-cylinder and notan eight-cylinder, would they have the desire to go fast? Wouldthe impact of such an accident have been as deadly with a lesspowerful vehicle?
I, myself, drive a very powerful vehicle and feel the urge to“mate it” on occasion. You can’t always help yourself, but thenagain, I’ve been driving for nearly 40 years and certainly notunder the influence.

News of two brothers killed in a car crash in the wee hoursof Saturday morning, the day before Mother’s Day, isenough to make even a stranger of the family cry.
Police believe speed and alcohol were factors in the crash,only making the whole tragedy feel even more senseless.
Granted, the story may hit those of us with teenage sons alittle harder, but we doubt there’s a soul in our community whodoesn’t feel even a fraction of the weight from this loss.
Within moments of the news breaking, people were on socialmedia networks, and in person, expressing their grief and payingtribute to the Moses brothers from McNair secondary.
By the end of the day, a makeshift memorial had been erectedat the crash site on No. 4 Road south of Steveston Highway,where people have brought flowers and photos to honour theboys. But this is where it gets somewhat troubling.
Among the offerings are empty bottles of liquor and picturesof fast cars.
It’s hard to know the thinking behind these tributes. Do kidsthink they’re celebrating the boys with these tokens of life in thefast lane that may, in fact, have contributed to their deaths?
Meanwhile, the boys’ grandfather was speaking to the mediaabout the dangers of drinking and driving, and the sense ofinvincibility youth so often feel — not that young people haven’theard this before. This generation grew up on the “don’t drinkand drive” message.
Either the message hasn’t been effective, or despite all themessaging in the world, and even faced with heartbreaking con-sequences, the lethal mix of youth, alcohol and fast cars contin-ues to lure.
Clearly, there is still work to be done. Not just in educatingkids, but in understanding how they make their choices.
In the meantime, our hearts go out to the family and friendsof these young men whose time was too short.

Open letter to Alice Wong,Hiding changes to envi-
ronmental laws within a so-called Budget Act is not howan open democracy works.The Conservatives are usingthis tactic to push throughchanges in our environmentalprotection laws without anyreal public debate.
These are some of thenon-budget related itemsin Bill C-38. It repeals theCanadian EnvironmentalAssessment Act and intro-duces a weaker version,without a single day of hear-ings before the environmentcommittee.
It removes protection ofendangered species and their
habitat, when approvingpipeline projects, by amend-ing the Species at Risk Actand the Navigable WatersProtection Act.
It guts the Fisheries Actby removing provisions forhabitat protection.
It repeals the KyotoProtocol Implementation Act.
It eliminates the NationalRound Table on Environmentand Economy.
This is a dangerous roadthat erodes our open democ-racy. I am writing to ask thatyou demand that non-budgetrelated laws be removedfrom Bill C-38.

The Editor,Apparently the members
of city council believe thereare too many songbirds inRichmond. How else doesone rationalize the clear-cut-ting of the blackberries alongRailway Avenue?
Along with nutritiousfood, the blackberries pro-vided nesting sites safe from
crows and other predators.Residents now see and
hear traffic, and drivers seefences and backs of houses.
Henry David Thoreauwrote, “In wildness is thepreservation of the world.”Richmond council seems tobelieve the opposite.

Would you believe thatrelics of the Middle Agesare to be found not only inmuseums, but also strewnthroughout our language?
It’s true. Some wordshave an amazing tenacity.
Consider the phraseto hold the purse-strings.We use it as an idiomaticexpression meaning to be
in charge of the money.The word purse derives
from the medieval Latin“bursa,” a bag or pouch.
Back in the MiddleAges, money was in theform of metal coins, whichwere safely stored in leath-er bags.
These bags were closedby drawing together astring threaded through thetop, and only the person in
control of the purse — thebursar — was authorizedto loosen the purse-strings.
Because of its asso-ciation with money, pursequickly became a synonymfor a sum of money, suchas a prize or reward. Andwe use the word bursary,directly linked to “bursa,”to mean financial aid
given to students.Most people think of
knights in armour whenthey think of the MiddleAges. Even if the suits ofarmour now stand empty,knightly words continueto reverberate among us.Several are linked to theritual of being knighted.
In that ceremony, theking tapped the knight-elect on the shoulder withthe flat side of the swordand said, “I now dub theeSir Knight.”
The verb to dub comesfrom the Old French “ado-ber,” to equip with armour.We still say dub whenwe confer a nickname onsomeone, as in the recentheadline, “Scottish com-puter whiz kid dubbed thenext Bill Gates.”
Towards the end ofthe ceremony, the knightreceived a pair of giltspurs, badge of his newstation in society. Our idi-omatic expressions formedwith spur and the meaningof the verb to spur comestraight from the MiddleAges.
We say someone hasearned his spurs to meanthat he has received hisdue merit.
When we say a personis spurred on, we meanthat he is stimulated to dosomething, like a horseurged on — spurred — byits rider. The verb to spurnis related to spur, but withthe opposite sense. To
spurn someone is to rejectthem.
In preparation forbattle, the knight woulddon his armour, a com-plex process. One of themany things he wore was akind of belt called, in OldEnglish, a “gyrdel.”
To girdle up, signi-fied to get ready to fight.We’ve kept that sense inthe phrase to gird one’sloins, meaning to getready for action.
Another Old Englishword for girdle was“fetel.” To fettle oneselfused to mean to preparefor war.
Nowadays, we saysomeone is in fine fettleto imply they are in primecondition, like a knightready for battle.
Hilt, the word for thehandle of a sword or knife,has also survived frommedieval times. A knightentering battle would bedescribed as armed to thehilt, in other words, fullyarmed.
As with fettle, hilt haslost its martial connota-tions. Hence, while theexpression to the hilt stillmeans fully, we use it incontexts that have nothingto do with weapons.
We say we are mort-gaged to the hilt — or,on a happier note, we areenjoying life to the hilt.

Exchange-traded funds(ETFs) continue their risingpopularity. The ETF IndustryAssociation reports thatU.S.-listed ETFs account for$1.2 trillion in assets underadministration as of the endof February. That’s a 14 percent increase on a year-over-year basis.
ETFs offer trading flex-ibility, transparency and costefficiency in broad portfoliosof securities. They trade onthe exchange, can be boughtor sold at any point duringmarket hours, can be shortedor purchased on margin, andrisk can be managed withtechniques such as stop lossand limit orders.
As thepopularityof ETFs hasgrown, so toohas the num-ber of productofferings.Some trackindices orsectors, whileothers represent more spe-cialized areas of the market.
Making choices is depen-dent on the goals investorswish to achieve.
For example, many inves-tors wanting exposure topopular IPOs that were other-wise difficult to access, suchas LinkedIn, purchased theGlobal Social Media Index
(NASDAQ:SOCL).
It’s a spe-cialty ETFthat seeksto provideinvestmentresultsaligned withthe Solactive
Social Media Index. Othersuse ETFs to address morespecific goals.
Is the price of beef andpork going to rise with cattleand hog producers being buf-feted by rising feed costs?
The iPath Dow Jones-USB Livestock SubindexTotal Return (NYSE: COW)provides access to live cattle
and lean hogs.Is potable water going to
be an increasingly rare com-modity? The GuggenheimS&P Global Water Index(NYSE: CGW) is comprisedof about 50 companies fromdifferent segments in thewater industry.
Will lithium batter-ies be the final answer forlow-emission automobiles?The Global X Lithium ETF(NYSE: LIT) holds thelargest and most liquid com-panies listed in the lithiumspace.
Some investors are replac-ing mutual fund holdingswith ETFs, a trend not loston the mutual fund industry.The ETF community wasabuzz when PIMCO’s found-er Bill Gross brought out anETF closely resembling hisflagship mutual fund.
The PIMCO Total ReturnETF (NYSE: BOND) hasthe same goals as the mutualfund, but without the samederivatives exposure. Manymutual fund investorsswitched to the ETF, lookingfor similar returns at a lowercost.
Leveraged and inverse-leveraged ETFs are an areaof interest for some investors.These ETFs are designedto provide a return that is amultiple of an underlyingbenchmark on a daily basis,by betting on market move-ments.
A popular one in Canadais the Horizon BetaProGlobal Gold Bull+ & Bear+ETF (TSX: HGU/HGD),which seeks daily invest-ment results equal to 200 percent the daily performance,or inverse performance, ofthe S&P/TSX Global GoldIndex.
However, due to the math-ematics of compounding andrebalancing, holding lever-aged or inverse-leveragedETFs longer than a singletrading day can be risky.Investors should use extremecaution.
While this makes fora much more interestinginvesting landscape, it canalso be overwhelming. Aswith any investment deci-sion, care must be taken tounderstand the intricacies.
Just because there arefancy ETFs on the market,does not mean they are suit-able for every portfolio.Remember: “If you don’tunderstand it, don’t buy it.”

It seems the month ofMay has brought a more fre-quent appearance of the sunand happier attitudes amongpeople.
For post-secondary stu-dents, the spring semester hasjust wrapped up, meaningmany will begin their four-month summer vacation.
However, some students will return for asummer semester and give up four months offreedom.
Summer school is a more daunting taskthan meets the eye. If being bottled up andslaving away at school on a regular basisisn’t hard enough, summer school is justpure agony.
Waking up early to follow the same oldschool routine, while watching the sun beamdown on your friends as they frolic around,enjoying their new sense of freedom, is bru-tal.
Even worse is watching friends and fam-ily go on luxurious vacations in exotic partsof the world for extended amounts of time,
while you sit in a crowdedlecture hall cringing atthe pictures just posted onFacebook by your best friendin Hawaii on your dreamvacation.
How about that awkwardmoment when you’re asked togo to a concert and becomebeyond excited before real-
izing that you’re broke because you spent allyour money on summer school tuition?
While other friends are working full-timemaking bags of cash, you’re spending yourlast brain cells just trying to focus on thetextbook in front of you.
For reasons I will never understand, somestudents will presumably enjoy summerschool, but others will be penniless, worn outand bitter.
After deliberating this issue (for about ananosecond), I must say, I am rather pleasedwith my decision to not take summer classes.I think Mark Twain would agree with me.
As he once said, “I’ve never let my schoolinterfere with my education.”
Take a break this summerSCHOOL

When a 300-pound seal jumps six feetfrom the harbour to the concrete floor a fewsteps away from where you’re standing, it’shard to look away.
I was watching the fishermen offloadtheir catch in Hout Bay, a seaside suburb ofCape Town on the southernmost tip of Africa,when this massive, whiskered fellow leaptfrom the ocean with the grace of a ballerina.
As thousands of tourists flock to SouthAfrica in December and January each year tobask in the heat of an African summer, manyof them opt to take a safari and see some ofthe area’s famed wildlife.
When you’re travelling with kids, as Iwas, a safari in the African bush can be risky— particularly when it comes to malaria.But, as I learned quickly at the Hout Bayharbour, you don’t necessarily have to takea safari to see wildlife, even while enjoyingthe conveniences of a bustling city like CapeTown. Animals are an intrinsic part of thislandscape, and though their appearance cansometimes spell danger, they are respectedand protected as often as possible.
Take the Great White Shark, for example.One of some 95 species of shark that inhabitthe warm waters off southern Africa, theGreat White is both respected and feared.
Along the False Bay coastline, shark alertsare common, and in the summer monthsshark spotters are employed to watch over thepopular bathing beaches from strategic view-points on the mountain.
Every couple of years, though, an unfor-tunate swimmer or surfer fails to heed thewarnings, ventures too far from shore andgets “taken” by a Great White shark.
In the last decade, tour operators havebeen offering shark cage diving tours, wherethey head by boat into open water and lowera metal cage of wetsuit and snorkel-clad visi-tors into the ocean. Some of them use baitto attract the Great Whites, a lure-and-viewtechnique I wasn’t keen to support.
Instead, I took my kids on a drive to Paarl,a city just an hour from Cape Town, and onefamed for its rich vineyards and spectacularwine route. It wasn’t wine tasting that drewus there, though. Alongside those vineyardslies the Drakenstein Lion Park, a 50-acrerefuge for 35 lions who spent the earlier partof their lives in captivity, often subject tounspeakable abuse.
The refuge contains 18 large enclosuresfor the lions, who started out in Europeancircuses, in captivity in Chile and in cannedhunting farms in South Africa, where they are
bred, raised and kept doped and tranquilizedspecifically so foreign tourists can shoot andbring down a lion.
The males are given a vasectomy soonafter arrival because the park’s ownersbelieve there’s no point raising more lionsin captivity. Then they’re left to acclimate inan enclosure that approximates their naturalenvironment as much as possible – with theexception of its 10-foot electrified fences,and the carcasses of dead chickens, donkeysand horses that constitute their food.
It’s the middle of a hot day, and the lions,who are inactive 20 hours each day, are in adeep sleep and oblivious to their spectators.But spend a night at the refuge, which offerstented accommodation, and you would likelyhear their roars, audible up to eight kilome-ters away.
In the heat of summer, as the mercuryclimbs to 33 degrees Celsius, we seek reliefby visiting a series of small beaches alongthe False Bay coast called Boulders, beachesmade unique by the colony of African pen-guins that lives there.
A spunky bunch, the penguins cavort inthe surf, their tuxedoed little bodies dodgingseaweed and swimmers and moving lithelybetween the swells. Children delight in their
close proximity to the little birds, commonlyknown as jackass penguins because of theirbraying voice. The sand is powder-like andthe ocean temperature is a comfortablereprieve from the hot sun. Add the entertain-ment of penguin-watching and you have ablissful day at your fingertips.
The Indian and Atlantic oceans meet at thetip of Africa, and some say that if you visitCape Point, a windy outcrop that constitutesthe actual tip of the continent, you can seethe colour contrast of the two oceans as theirsalty water mixes.
The drive to Cape Point is an exquisiteone, with mountain ranges on one side of thehighway and precipices dropping to the oceanon the other. Those rugged, rocky mountainsare home to several troops of baboons, andthe primates can often be seen along the sideof the highway, toting their young on theirbacks.
For visitors, it’s an irresistible spectaclethat calls immediately for open windows andphotographs. What they don’t know, though,is that the baboons often get aggressive,reaching into the cars and snatching cameras,keys, and food. Over the years, these smartprimates have learned to associate humans

TravelBeware: Of pesty baboons
with food. The altercations that result area natural consequence. For many locals,the baboons are pests at best and danger-ous at worst. “They trashed my house onetime,” says a resident Samantha Droomer.
Today, electrified fences deter thebaboons from entering her property, butprior to that she came home to a disas-trous mess after baboons lifted a locked,sliding door off its hinges and proceededto raid the pantry, swing from the cur-tains and litter the house with feces.
Learning to live in the context of arich animal kingdom is just one aspect oflife in South Africa. For visitors to CapeTown, that means a rich wildlife experi-ence is possible without ever having toventure into the bush on safari.

Grant wastes no time in being Canada's best againPacific Wave snychronized swimmer comes out of retirement to dominate at Western & National championships
It was her competi-tive fire that not only putCourtenay Grant back inthe pool but on top of thenational podium as well.
One of the newestmembers of the VancouverPacific Wave SynchronizedSwim Club capped aremarkable comeback bywinning the free and tech-nical solo gold medals atthe recent Canadian OpenChampionships in Victoria.
It was almost like Granthad never been away.
The 24-year-old formerstar with the renownedCalgary Aquabellesbelieved the final chapterof her distinguished careerwas when she swam to goldat the 2009 Nationals. Shewas moving to Richmond tofocus on her studies, hav-ing enrolled in KwantlenPolytechnic University’sBachelor of Design, Fashionand Technology program.
School and living on theWest Coast was going well,so much so that Grant’sstarted up her own synchroswim suit design businessthat instantly attractedcustomers through her con-nections. The desire to be inthe pool again was gone, atleast so she thought.
“When I won gold atthe 2009 Nationals I justfelt it was a good time tobe done,” Grant recalled.“I wasn’t quite willing topursue it further with theOlympics and that so Icoached the next year whichwas fun. Then I was going
to university full-time outhere but I felt was missingsomething like I lost a partof myself.”
Grant wasn’t about topack her bags and headback to Calgary but shefound the next best thingwith Pacific Wave.
The club’s head coachKara Kalin is also a trans-planted Albertan whogrew up in the Aquabellesprogram and is consideredone of best mentors in thecountry. Kalin was recentlynamed an assistant with thenational 13-15 team thatwill be competing at the2012 Mediterranean Cup inSpain this summer.
“I told them I wanted toget back in the water andthe entire club has been sosupportive, from the execu-tive right down," said Grant."The coaches have beenamazing and kicked my buttlike you wouldn’t believe.Usually at my age, whenyou have been out (of thewater) for even a year, youare like an old horse.”
Still, Grant neededthe support of her family,fiancé and even the facultyat Kwantlen to pull it off.There were plenty of chal-lenges and long days asshe tried to balance studiesand work with her suddenlydemanding training sched-ule as she got herself backinto competitive form.
She showed she wouldbe a force again by win-ning the Westerns CanadianChampionships in Winnipegin decisive fashion and herdominance continued atNationals.
“Luckily it wasn’t thetechnique that went away,just the physical aspect ofit,” Grant explained. “Beingin the sport for 14 years, thetechnique was still there. Ijust had to get my strengthand cardio which wouldbring my endurance back.There was lots of stuff inand out of the water includ-ing plenty of weight lift-ing.”
Grant is now back inposition to be a strongcandidate for the senior
national team. She hasalready represented Canadaat the junior level, havingcompeted at internationalcompetitions in such placesas Rome when she was 16.
However, her dream hasbeen realized by provingshe still can be the best inthe country. Her focus willremain on completing herdegree and she also wouldlike to her expand hercoaching role with PacificWave once she has the timeto do so.
“I swam three years forTeam Canada and it was anamazing experience,” sheadded. “I would have to beprepared to give up every-thing and I have alreadydone that.
“I just wanted to finishhappy and at peace, know-ing when I leave I havemade a difference in mylife and other people’s aswell. I always tell the younggirls in our club ‘how manypeople in the world andcan do what we do? So you
hold onto that as long asyou can.’
“That’s why I wanted tocome back.
