Help refugees: Surrey

‘Immoral burden’ Jeff NagelBlack Press

Canada’s policy of requiring incoming government-assisted refugees to pay back loans of up to $10,000 for their airfare, medi-cal exams and documents is under renewed fire now that the Syr-ian refugee crisis has emerged as a federal election issue.

A d v o c a t e s argue scrapping the repayment policy and turn-ing the trans-portation loans into grants is one concrete step Ottawa can take now to make it easier for refugees to adapt to life in Canada.

The City of Surrey – the top destination in B.C. for arriving refugees – is stepping up its years-long campaign to kill the loans, on which the federal government charges interest after three years.

“To arrive with a debt of $10,000 per family on their plate as they first start out here trying to get their feet on the ground in Can-ada is very, very stressful,” Surrey Coun. Judy Villeneuve said.

Marijuana stance crosses party line, Trudeau says

Liberals weed out candidate’s views

Alex BrowneStaff Reporter

Joy Davies, federal Liberal candidate for South Surrey-White Rock, was under fire Thursday from both party Leader Justin Trudeau and her riding president after her pro-marijuana-use comments came to light.

At Peace Arch News press time, Trudeau – who has vowed to legalize pot – was quick to distance himself from past Facebook statements by Davies that

marijuana being used or grown in a home causes no harm to children.

Trudeau – campaigning in the Lower Mainland Thursday – told reporters the position of the party is that mari-juana needs to be controlled and regu-lated to protect children.

“The views expressed by the individ-ual in question do not reflect the views of the Liberal party of Canada and certainly do not reflect my personal views,” he said.

Trudeau added he would be meeting with his advisers and would have a further statement on Davies in a mat-ter of hours.

“We are all deeply concerned by this,” riding president Ginny Hasselfield told PAN. “This does not reflect the views of the party…we are going to be look-ing into this.”

Meanwhile Conservative candi-date Dianne Watts reportedly told news website The Huffington Post that

Davies’ statements indicated bad judg-ment and being out of touch with rid-ing priorities.

The website had quoted Facebook posts by Davies – a long-time pub-lic advocate of medical marijuana – as saying that secondhand pot smoke in the home does not pose a risk to children, that marijuana use reduces domestic-violence incidents, and that the Canadian Cancer Society pro-

Trial cancelled for hit-and-run charges

Witnesses still sought

More tipsreceived

Following last Friday’s arrest of a man accused of brutally attacking a South Surrey senior, police are appealing for anyone with infor-mation on the whereabouts of Ste-phen Thomas Morse in the days prior to Sept. 4 to contact them.

Police released Morse’s photo Tuesday, and received tips as a result, Cpl. Scotty Schumann said Thursday.

Morse, a 4 2 - y e a r - o l d Langley man, is charged with aggravated sex-ual assault, forc-ible confinement, break-and-enter,

robbery, disguise with intent and use of imitation firearm in connec-tion with the Aug. 12 attack.

On that day, a man entered a Grandview-area home, presented a weapon and restrained the 70-year-old resident, physically and sexually assaulting her when she wouldn’t comply with demands.

Morse was identified as a person of interest in the “repulsive” crime early last week, and was under sur-veillance until his arrest. He was to appear in Surrey Provincial Court Thursday morning.

Anyone with information regard-ing Morse’s actions may contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

A man accused of running down two jog-gers in South Surrey nearly three years ago is no longer going to trial on the charges.

But exactly what is happening with the case against Surrey resident Barry Russell Chris-tiansen is unclear.

Criminal Justice Branch spokesman Neil MacKenzie confirmed Wednesday that Chris-tiansen’s trial – which had been scheduled for nine days and set to get underway on Monday – has been adjourned “on the expectation that the accused will be disposing of the matter

other than by way of a trial.”MacKenzie said he could not elaborate

“until the case is dealt with.”Christiansen last appeared in Surrey Pro-

vincial Court Sept. 3; the case is set for “dis-position” on Sept. 25.

Christiansen’s lawyer could not be reached for comment by PAN press time Thursday.

Three days after the 2012 hit-and-run, police announced the arrest of a 53-year-old Surrey man and the seizure of a BMW X1.

Two charges of “fail to stop at accident scene involving bodily harm” were sworn against Christiansen in December 2013, one

year after running partners Nola Carlson and Shelley Lammers were struck as they jogged across 152 Street at 32 Avenue.

Lammers suffered a concussion, fractured ribs, a collapsed lung, two broken verte-

brae and a lacerated liver. Carlson’s injuries included a broken nose and cheekbone.

Evidence from the scene included traffic-camera video that captured the impact and – about 25 seconds later – a figure approach the women, lean over them, then rapidly depart.

In the days immediately after, family mem-bers of the victims expressed shock that someone could leave such a scene, describ-ing the act as “disturbing.”

Carlson told Peace Arch News two days after she was hit that she was “appalled and frightened” by what happened, and consid-ered herself “extremely lucky to be alive.”

How Does Cold Laser Therapy Work?

Cold Laser erapy is also referred to as Low Intensity Laser erapy, or Low Level Laser

erapy. e Bio ex Cold Laser erapy system is a three step process, each using a di erent wavelength of light. e rst step uses a red light pad at 660nm, which gets absorbed by the cells of the skin and underlying super cial layers of muscle.

e second step uses an infrared light pad at 830nm, reaching deeper into the muscle layers, tendons, and ligaments.

e third step includes an infrared laser wand at 840nm that is placed speci cally on the a ected areas by a trained laser therapist. is light is very concentrated and targets the deepest structures, stimulating healing in ligaments, cartilage, joints, and even bone.

Could Cold Laser Therapy be The Solution for Back Pain?

Surrey Fitness Trainer Avoids Back Surgery After Herniated DiscIsabelle works in the tness industry as a personal trainer, a job that requires her to move around all day, to carry around weights and other workout equipment, and to physically assist her customers during their exercise programs. In addition, after work, she’s an avid amateur athlete, who loves to seriously train, especially long distance biking and running.

About 4 years before she visited our clinic, she rst started having recurring back pain - typically towards the end of her longer training sessions. She became increasingly concerned when these pains began to occur sooner into her training sessions, but she generally just toughed it out - at rst through infrequent mild pain, then increasingly more frequent and stronger pain.

Her back pain became increasingly chronic. Often she found herself unable to stand up straight, and even just moving around became a challenge, with shooting pains and numbness in her left leg. She couldn’t sit in the same position for an extended time, which also made longer drives by car impossible. She’d have to take prescription pain medication just to be able to sleep. Working became very dif cult and after some further months training became impossible. Eventually an MRI con rmed that she was su ering from a herniated disk in her lumbar spine.

Rather than undergo invasive and risky surgery, Isabelle decided to try Cold Laser erapy to improve her condition. So, 4 days after her MRI, she came in for a Laser Assessment and immediately started Cold Laser erapy sessions, and simultaneously began a program of home based physical exercise movements prescribed by Doctor Mel.

After only 2 treatment sessions, she started feeling the rst temporary improvements: the pain intensity lessened at times - even to the point that for the rst time in months she didn’t even think about it. After the 5th treatment session (the second week of treatments), she experienced a 2 day period without pain, and she started to take less pain medication. And she found herself walking straight again. After another couple of weekly treatments, the shooting pain and the numbness in her leg had disappeared. Some nights she could sleep without waking from pain, and she could sit in a car for longer periods of time. After the 12th treatment she found herself able to sleep full nights without medication, and she was able to further reduce her pain medication dosage. She was able to return to work, feeling pretty good.

She continued with weekly Cold Laser erapy sessions for another 3 months, reporting to us that after that she’d been able to return to her beloved training regimen including long walks, running and biking. And she was also able to drive long distances in her car again.

About a month Isabelle’s last treatment, she responded to an email from Solaj with an update to share with those who might su er from a similar condition:

“I want to say that I went om not being able to drive 10 min in August 2014 to driving across the country in May 2015. Kind of a big di erence.

I went om walking around the b l o c k i n p a i n w i t h p a i n medication to now running/hiking for 3 1/2 hours with no pain medication and loving every second of it.

I can now be on my bike climbing again on dif cult trails and not be in pain all the time.

I went om feeling the pain all the time to now I can go ll days without feeling the same terrible pain.

I can't tell you enough, how amazing I feel. I actually did not think about my back until you emailed me about it. It's a very strange feeling to feel ok again. I was standing up on the Swiss ball today doing squats because my niece did not believe me I could do it and not once I felt my back!! It's just crazy :)”

Cold Laser Therapy for Back Pain

Cold Laser erapy delivers light-based energy to cells of tissues that have been a ected by conditions causing back pain. For example, conditions such as herniated discs, internal scar tissue, soft tissue injuries, sciatica, and osteoarthritis, can be treated with Cold Laser

erapy. Energy from red and infrared lights stimulate speci c chemical reactions in the a ected cells to enable and accelerate the healing process, resulting in reduced in ammation, removal of scar tissue, and ultimately the elimination of pain.

e majority of back pain is caused by in ammation that results from various conditions or injuries a ecting the muscles, tendons, ligaments, or cartilage in the spine. e light energy delivered by Cold Laser erapy helps the cells to naturally overcome and stop in ammation.

is reduces pain, often after relatively few treatments. More importantly, this also allows the cells to undertake the next phase of repair and healing. e red and infrared lights increase the production of cellular energy (ATP) at various depths, speci cally helping to repair torn or damaged tissue. ey also increase the ability of blood cells to deliver oxygen and nutrients required for healing of the a ected cells.

The various depths reached by Cold Laser Therapy

Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

It didn’t take long for tempers to flare Wednesday at a public-information meeting in White Rock for a proposed seven-storey development.

Within minutes of the meeting getting underway at Centennial Arena, a heated argument broke out between an angry resident and the architect of the project – slated for 14937 Thrift Ave. – over the building’s non-compliance with the city’s Official Commu-nity Plan, now under review.

Shortly after, architect Gerry Blonski attempted to address the crowd of more than 40, high-lighting White Rock’s desirability as a place to live, before being drowned out.

“A lot of people want to retire here, and the reason why we’re proposing this here is because there is a demand for it,” Blonski said, before being interrupted by several residents.

“Stick to the plan, you’re break-ing the official plan here,” one man said.

“Why are we even here tonight entertaining seven storeys in an apartment OCP of three to four?” resident Hazel Stack asked.

As the crowd – which included Couns. Helen Fathers and David Chesney – began to clear, Martin Street resident Lynn Kendel told

Peace Arch News he felt bad for Blonski, who “had no right or authority to be answering these questions.”

Kendel said his main concern is the lack of infrastructure around the Semiahmoo Peninsula.

“Anybody who has driven down 152 Street between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. can tell you that we have reached and exceeded our infra-structure,” Kendel said.

This is the third project to be proposed for the quarter-acre lot at Thrift Avenue and Vidal Street.

In 2013, proponents applied for rezoning to allow for a seven-unit townhouse project with roof decks; the city rejected the appli-cation, requesting the applicant reduce the height and number of units to no more than five. In 2014, the proponents came back with a six-unit concrete apartment

building, however later deferred the application after residents strongly opposed the project.

The current proposal is for 11 units in a seven-storey building, including two levels of under-ground parking.

Kanwar Dhamrait, of Surrey-based Oveido Development, told PAN Thursday morning that he was not in attendance at Wednes-day’s meeting, nor had he received feedback.

He said he’s aware of opposition to development in White Rock, but that this particular proposal is only one of several in the area.

Dhamrait noted his project is only seven storeys, compared to the 12-storey Beverley under con-struction on Vidal Street.

“We just proposed it and let’s see how it goes,” he said. “Nothing is concrete yet.”

We may not have much of an idea what to do when the power goes out, but Metro Vancouver – including residents

in South Surrey – came through when it came to conserving water this summer.

A long and unexpected run of hot weather at the beginning of the season led to dire predictions – and a bout of neighbour shaming when some lawns seemed significantly, and suspiciously, greener than others.

But though some chafed at stringent Stage 3 regulations that even put washing your car on the forbidden list – unless you were an automated car wash patron – the fact remains water use was soon reined in to acceptable levels.

Metro Vancouver has since moved down to Stage 2 water restrictions with reservoirs now at the 60 per cent level – basically limiting pressure washing to health-and-safety needs only, minimum water maintenance of playing fields and a continued ban on public and commercial fountains and water features.

This is deemed a healthy position to be in at the beginning of fall, and while recent rain has clearly eased the situation, a reduction of public use is also being credited for the improved outlook.

And, for that, good on us – notwithstanding the just over 140 fines, and a few more than 1,930 warning letters handed out for breaking water restrictions in the City of Surrey alone.

Just as most of us realize that it’s a good thing to pull over our cars when police vehicles are barrelling through intersections on the way to or from some crisis, people seemed to grasp that conserving water was an easy and relatively painless way for us to show our responsible side.

We should be glad, too, that we only have to deal with such patently First World problems – rather than worrying about surviving war, or disease, or the devastation caused by some natural disaster.

It’s best to be prepared, after all, even if that involves some personal discomfort or inconvenience – and the relaxing of water restrictions, as encouraging as it is, is no call for complacency in the future.

Even with our relatively comfortable, relatively effortless lives, we have seen we cannot entirely predict the weather, whether it brings us spells of drought or violent windstorms.

And while we managed to get through this summer without reservoirs falling far below acceptable levels, it would only have taken a slightly different combination of factors to create a bona fide crisis.

Small problems easily overcome

Published by Black Press Ltd. at 200-2411 160 Street, Surrey, B.C.

opinionPeace Arch News

I was glancing through my Facebook feed a few mornings ago — chewing on a slice of toast, and scrolling

aimlessly past the usual assortment of cats and babies and “You won’t believe how she got revenge on her cheating husband”-style nonsense – when I spotted something that stopped my finger, mid-swipe.

In a post, a friend had expressed her outrage at the media in general for having the insensitivity to publish a photo of a three-year-old Syrian boy, whose body had washed up on a beach in Turkey.

“How dare they?” “Uncaring swine!” her Greek chorus of supporters chimed in along down the line.

With great restraint, I resisted sticking in my oar. This wasn’t a conversation among my own friend group and I don’t think of Facebook as an ideal place to engage in complex political debate.

But silence wasn’t an option I found overly appealing either – not when there is so much at stake.

My response, had I posted it, would have been this:

Of course we don’t want to look at that photo. It’s upsetting as hell.

But we need to look at it – for exactly the reason it kindled such a raw emotional outburst among that group of Facebook friends.

Alan Kurdi died, along with his mother and brother, during his family’s desperate attempt to flee their war-torn homeland, seeking a place where they could live their lives free from violence, famine and disease.

Oxfam Canada puts the death toll of the Syrian conflict at more than 200,000 so far.

In addition, more than four million Syrian refugees are living in neighbouring countries. In Syria alone, more than 12 million people are in need of water, food, and shelter.

But these are just numbers. And we, as a society, are growing increasingly numb to numbers.

When we hear them, we shake our heads, mutter a few platitudes about how sad it all is, maybe write a cheque and then carry on with our day.

If it takes the image of small child’s body washed up on a beach to start a meaningful conversation about what is happening to real, flesh-and-blood human beings, then, as sad as that truth is, the photo needs to be published and

it needs to be shared.Alan isn’t being victimized by its

publication. He’s gone.Gone, like thousands before him and,

without a doubt, thousands more to come.

In journalism ethics classes, we’re taught to weigh what people are OK with seeing in the morning paper over their bowl of cereal against the news value that any given photo carries. Often, it’s a question of degrees of gruesomeness.

The photo of Alan isn’t gruesome – far from it. He could well be sleeping.

But we know he isn’t sleeping, and nothing about that is OK.

The photo has been compared to another famous shot – that of Vietnamese girl Kim Phuc, whose clothes were burned off by napalm.

That horrifying image was crucial in putting an end to an unpopular war.

Last Thursday in Surrey, Alan’s story managed to knock the prime minister off message – during what is arguably the most tightly scripted campaign in recent history – to talk about Canada’s immigration policy and our role in the Syrian conflict.

As we head toward the federal election, now is the ideal time to let candidates know where you stand on both issues.

The only chance we have to effect real change is to care enough about what is happening to demand that change.

Or, we can all just go back to our breakfast.

Not the first false alarmEditor:Re: Dog owner wants record wiped clean, Sept. 2.

Our sympathies go out to Anita Tibbe and her excellent-looking dog, Cohen.

While we can’t comment on the details of her case, we can confirm the trigger-happy record of the SPCA issuing false notices.

Our golden retriever, Finnigan, was issued a notice this spring. We were pleased that the senior protection officer came to our home to apologize, but we think it might be more appropriate for the trigger-happy SPCA officer herself be given the ‘notice of distress’.Rick, Elizabeth & James Fearn, White Rock

Home delivery costly to keep Editor:Re: Keep us posted on party lines, Sept. 4 letters.

While there’s no doubt that it will be inconvenient when we no longer have our mail delivered to our door, I think it’s the price we have to pay – or the cost we have to avoid – for the change.

According to the CP web page, our postal service operated at a net loss over the past four years; a loss of $253 million in 2011 and another loss of $269 million in 2013, against profits of $98 million and $86 million in 2012 and 2014 respectively, for a loss of $348 million since 2011. Perhaps letter-writer Kathie Hill will tell us where she learnt of the $200 million “posted” profit?

Lest anyone wonder, I have no vested interest in the politics or business of Canada Post, other than using the service to very occasionally send and receive mail.Derek Cox, Surrey

Decisions cost votesEditor:

I read with interest a column written by Lance Peverley (My vote’s for sale but I’ve had no bids, Aug. 28).

Since this is the case, may I suggest using some criteria to eliminate candidates before voting.

Money and undue influence should be used to reject a candidate. One candidate has posted almost every other block large blue signs, so many of them that it has become ridiculous. The huge number of these signs indicates a huge amount of monetary power supported by lobbyists after lobbyists and greedy corporations.

The candidate, who moved the city hall from our neighbourhood to a far distant northern locality where free parking spaces are a rarity, and who replaced the

people’s-oriented “City of Parks” with corporate-gimmick greed “The Future Lives Here” meets my list of criteria so I won’t vote for that person. I’m for the people!

Seriously, the Conservatives have imposed the Deaf Tax in the form of a five per cent GST.

Being deaf myself, I had to hire a sign language interpreter to conduct some discussion with a hearing person who does not sign. When I got a bill, I noticed the tax, and objected to it. All assistive devices and services done for the disabled are exempted from the GST except the sign language interpreters’ services.

I contacted both MP Russ Hiebert’s office and Finance

Minister Joe Oliver. Nothing.Evidently, they don’t care except to

act against the unions, the veterans, the aboriginal peoples, and now the deaf people!

So I’m going to vote for the people. Wayne Sinclair, Surrey

Dianne Watts, the Conservative candidate for the Harper government, must answer a moral question.

Is she prepared to sacrifice her well-earned local reputation and become a part of the lie now taking place around the Mike Duffy scandal?

The truth will likely come out after the election, but the answer

to this question will determine my vote for her.Alex Beleski, Surrey

Baldwin is referring to Greater Vancouver Regional District Bylaw No. 1136 accepted by White Rock council March 7, 2011. It states that the expected population for White Rock in 2041 will be 27,000, an increase of 7,000 people.

However, it further states these projections are to assist in long-range planning and are guidelines only. Certainly not a mandated requirement, as Baldwin has stated.

The bylaw separates ‘general urban’ areas from ‘urban centres’. A ‘general’ area is designated for lower-density development, whereas ‘urban centres’ are designated as medium- and higher-density areas. In White Rock, the ‘urban centre’ is the area surrounded by North Bluff, George Street, Martin Drive and Thrift Avenue.

The intent and spirit of the bylaw is not to create a must-follow attitude, but more it supports “harmony with nature, fosters community well-being and ensures economic prosperity”.

The tough choice for mayor and some council members is will they embrace the intent and spirit of the bylaw, or will they continue to embrace developers.Ian Routledge, White Rock

Re: No legal mandate to add 7,000: Metro, Sept. 2.Regarding the Metro Regional Growth Strategy for

White Rock and the dwelling-units figure of 4,000 that is being bandied about as a goal for 2041 – the correct figure should be 2,700, as White Rock Regional Context Statement figures begin at the year 2006 at 9,400 growing to 13,000 units by 2041, so that is 3,600, not 4,000. I estimate the updated figure for 2015 is approximately 10,350. So, if we follow these numbers, we have 2,650 more units to go and 26 years in which to do it.

As these figures are only guidelines, it is up to us whether we want to build this many more units.

It is worth noting that White Rock is already one of the

most compact communities in the region, with less than one per cent of Metro Vancouver’s land area. It is 4.7 times the density than the average for Metro Vancouver.

We are increasing our dwelling-unit numbers slowly all the time when older homes are replaced by larger ones – usually including a suite – and when older homes are replaced by low-density units within the proper zoning.

This mad rush by developers to push highrises through on land that is not zoned for highrises should not happen. The White Rock Coalition did not campaign on massive development at election time, but it appears that if we don’t speak up loudly, they will adjust the Official Community Plan to allow this to happen.Patricia Kealy, White Rock

Perhaps lost in the controversy about population growth in White Rock, is that only two of the four Bosa Towers in the town centre have been built.

I assume the other two have not been built because the real estate market would not bear their price.

What makes the mayor and the developers believe that the proposed towers would have a different fate?Bob Holden, White Rock

An open letter to White Rock Coun. Lynne Sinclair.Your quote from the article in the PAN on the

Regional Growth Plan says you are “not the right person to answer” whether it was legally binding.

Why are you not the right person to answer? Are you not a member of council of which the public puts their trust in? Have you not done your homework? Do you not read the PAN? Do you not read your emails? Do you not listen to your constituents?

I am a new resident to White Rock – as Mayor Wayne Baldwin pointed out to me in a recent email exchange – but even I know the answer to that question, which is a resounding no.

I would expect that our members of council would be better informed on such important matters.Vickie Darts, White Rock

No need for mad rush to grow


motes the pharmaceutical industry rather than investigating the health benefits of marijuana.

Davies did not respond to PAN’s request for comment by press time.

In the past, Davies had told PAN she uses marijuana, primarily in oil form, to counteract the effects of fibromyal-gia following a 1997 car accident.

She is a founding member of Cana-dian Medical Cannabis Partners, and was active in the organization’s lob-bying of the City of White Rock, in January 2014, for support of a pro-vincial medical-marijuana program.

She has also said the Liberal party was well aware of her views through

an extensive green-light process before winning the riding nomina-tion on May 30.

Metro Vancouver has returned to Stage 2 water restrictions – allowing once-a-week lawn sprinkling and car washing once again – after recent heavy rains helped refill the regional district’s reservoirs.

And Metro utilities committee chair Dar-rell Mussatto said the region – which con-trols Surrey water, but not White Rock’s – may soon return to the routine, minimal water-conservation measures of summer.

“If we don’t get any more hot, dry weather we could go back to Stage 1 in a week or two,” he said.

The regional district’s latest measurement of its water supply released Wednesday showed it held steady at 60 per cent capac-ity and is now in the middle of the normal range for this time of year.

Stage 3 restrictions were imposed July 20, banning all lawn sprinkling with Metro water as well as pressure washing and the refilling of pools and water features.

At Stage 2, those uses can resume, but pres-sure washing is only permitted for health and safety, not esthetic purposes, and car washing is to be done only with automatic shutoff hose nozzles.

Early morning lawn sprinkling can resume

on Mondays for even-numbered homes and Thursdays for odd addresses.

Stage 3 limits succeeded in keeping daily water use capped at a target of 1.2 billion litres per day, a level Metro calculated could be sustained until November with no rains if necessary.

Mussatto credited the extraordinary con-servation efforts of residents.

“We had extreme stress on our reservoirs this year,” he said, noting the record low snowpack and months of hot, dry weather earlier in the spring and summer.

“Our residents and our reservoirs did extremely well. They responded to the regu-

lations and they made adjustments when they needed to.”

Mussatto said residents should expect at least Stage 1 restrictions to still remain in place past the end of September, when sum-mer water-conservation measures typically expire.

He said the regional district will also con-sider an early start to water restrictions than June 1 in future years as a precaution against another severe drought year.

White Rock’s water supply – provided through Epcor – returned to Stage 1 restric-tions Monday, after remaining on customary Stage 2 most of the summer.

She and other advocates say refugees fear deportation or refusal to reunify additional family members if they can’t repay their transportation loans, and may scrimp on food, clothing, rent or furniture in order to make the pay-ments to Ottawa.

They say that trans-lates into more pressure on food banks and other local services, and more dif-ficulty integrating.

According to the Canadian Council for Refugees, many indebted refugees postpone skills upgrading while work-ing low-paying jobs, and youth often struggle to finish high school while working, some abandoning plans for higher education.

“It makes no sense,” Villeneuve said. “These are citizens that Canada has agreed to bring to this country. I just think it’s immoral we are putting that burden on these poor people in one of the wealthiest countries of the world.”

The federal government has rejected pleas from Villeneuve and others to reform the transportation loan policy since 2010.

An estimated $38 million in exist-ing transportation loans to refugees is outstanding. The repayment rate is 90 per cent and payments are used to extend more loans to new govern-ment-sponsored refugees.

Villeneuve is preparing to table a 1,000-signature peti-tion circulated in

Surrey urging Citizenship and Immi-gration Minister Chris Alexander to end the loans.

She said the City of Surrey is also asking federal-election candidates to declare their position on the issue.

“Hopefully after the election we will have an MP that will sponsor a bill,” she said.

Municipal leaders at the Union of B.C. Municipalities and the Federa-tion of Canadian Municipalities have previously endorsed Surrey’s call to abolish the transportation loans.

Canada is one of just a few countries that make refugees promise to repay their relocation costs, and the only one that charges interest, according to Chris Friesen, settlement services director of the Immigrant Services Society of B.C.

opinion

Although the federal election has legally been underway since Aug. 2, it

only really began in earnest this week.

There was one leaders’ debate in August, the details of which no one can now recall. There were few signs up in August, and they were ignored by almost everyone. Attempts by candidates to portray themselves as saints and their opponents from other parties as the worst types of sinners have, for the most part, gone unheard.

Far too much media attention focuses on party leaders. This is not only unhealthy for democracy, as it makes leaders think they are in charge of the entire campaign and every aspect of their parties, but it also ignores reality. We vote for candidates in our own ridings. We elect them as our representatives in Ottawa. They are far more than just puppets on a string, controlled by a leader and his aides.

Surrey and Delta have had many good MPs over the years, from six different political parties – Liberal, Conservative, NDP, Social Credit, Reform and Canadian Alliance. Surrey

North voters also elected Chuck Cadman as an independent in 2004, a decision that is actually relevant to this election.

In October, people living in this area will elect six MPs, who will then go to Ottawa. It is likely they will be part of some high-stakes drama when they arrive, as current polling indicates no party will gain a majority. This is good for democracy, as it means no leader can act as an absolute dictator, as happened far too much in our Parliament.

This trend started in earnest under Pierre Trudeau, who famously said MPs were nobodies a few yards off Parliament Hill. Brian Mulroney eased up a bit, but Jean Chrétien did Trudeau one better, and Stephen Harper is far more controlling than Chrétien was.

In a minority Parliament, leaders have to be more careful how they treat their MPs. Independents and parties with a few seats – likely the case for the Greens and Bloc Quebecois – will play a significant role.

It seems likely that Surrey and Delta will elect Conservative and NDP MPs, and possibly a Liberal. Former MP Sukh Dhaliwal, after

a four-year absence, is up against incumbent NDP MP Jinny Sims and Conservative candidate Harpreet Singh, and all three have a decent shot.

Given a likely minority parliament, electing MPs of character who will do more than just bow meekly to their leaders’ orders make sense. It is entirely possible that decisions in Ottawa will come down to one vote. That’s what happened in 2005, when Cadman was the deciding vote in the Paul Martin Liberal government surviving.

Unfortunately, Cadman was battling cancer and did not live much longer. His integrity and willingness to run as an independent after losing the Conservative nomination set a high standard for future MPs.

There will be plenty of chances to find out more about local candidates in print or via the airwaves or Internet. Despite the negativity from many politicians, Canada is a great place to live and we have the a privilege of electing our individual MPs. Take the process seriously. Do not believe everything you hear from politicians, and take the time to research the candidates so your vote will truly count on Oct. 19.

Organizers of the Crescent Beach Concours d’Elegance are celebrating a record year, following the fifth annual event last weekend.

“We had the best turnout ever,” said Brad Pelling, a South Surrey resident and the driving force behind the show coming to the local waterfront. It was held in Gastown for eight years prior.

Staged in Blackie Spit Park on Sept. 5, the display of vintage automobiles and motorcycles from across the

west coast of Canada and the U.S. drew about 6,500 spectators.

A panel of 25 judges evaluated around 90 vehicles in nearly a dozen competition classes – including Shelby, Jaguar Post War, Corvette 1963-1972, Muscle Cars and Motorcycles.

Special awards were also given, including Historical Significance, Most Elegant Pre War Car and Elegance in Motion.

Gord Goble photosThe Crescent Beach Concours d’Elegance car show drew legions of car buffs to Blackie Spit on Sept. 5. Clockwise, from top left: Dennis Groundwater gets a good view of the show from his 1947 Ford convertible, which took top spot in the Early Ford V8 1932-1954 category; a dog patiently waits for its owner atop the seat of a car; White Rock’s Peter Kassell polishes his 1991 Rolls Royce Silver Spur so perfectly he can see himself in it; Judges examine a 1932 Auburn owned by South Surrey’s Kirk Stevenson (left); the hood ornament on a Jaguar shines in the sunlight.

The Cloverdale Business Improvement Association has launched an appeal to save one of its largest community events, Sur-rey’s Santa Parade of Lights.

For the past two years, the asso-ciation has had to drum up thou-sands of dollars in sponsorships to cover costs of the annual Christ-mas parade, a celebration that lights up the historic town centre each December. The event cul-minates with the arrival of Santa Claus, along with a lighted pro-cession of trucks from Vancouver Island and the Fraser Valley.

As the parade has grown, secu-rity and traffic-control costs have soared.

This year, the association – which promotes the historic town centre as a business district on behalf of about 300 member businesses – was forced to shelve two of its signature events, the Cloverdale Blueberry Festival in August and the annual Halloween Costume Parade, citing budget constraints.

The budget-conscious associa-tion is now galvanizing efforts to save the Santa parade.

“The two most sacred events that they want to support are the Rodeo parade and the Santa parade,” Orazietti said. “Being very mindful of dollars, we believe

this is something we can support with limited manpower.”

The Save the 2015 Surrey Santa Parade campaign is a fundraising drive that businesses and indi-viduals can support by sponsor-ing anywhere from $1 to $1,000. Orazietti also hopes people will also share personal photos from the Santa Parade on social media, using the hashtag #SaveTheSur-reySantaParade.

Meantime, the Cloverdale BIA is approaching other Surrey BIAs to help out.

“There should be some increased cost-sharing,” he said, pointing to Central City’s Big Rigs for Kids, which coincides with Surrey’s Santa Parade of Lights

and features the same convoy of lighted trucks that collect dona-tions for the Surrey Food Bank and Surrey Christmas Bureau.

Orazietti would like to see the Surrey Santa Parade boost efforts to support the Surrey Food Bank, potentially creating a fund for a portable power backup system.

“Since we’re lighting up Sur-rey, we want to light up the food bank,” he said.

“We want to reach out to com-munities to see how we can do this in a meaningful way. So that the parade is more than just wav-ing at Santa. It takes it to another level.”

For information, call 604-576-3155.

With 50-plus years of com-bined experience in schools, the concept came readily.

South Surrey principal Fai-zel Rawji and fellow educators David Mushens and David Starr – who all live in Coquitlam – were having coffee together when it struck them.

In their many years as teachers and principals, they were all reg-ularly asked the same questions: How should I pick a school for my child? Who’s really in charge of schools? What if I want my kids in a certain class? Should I consider French immersion?

“There are common things that parents ask us. I get at least two calls from friends every week with questions,” says Rawji, a 10-year principal in Surrey who’s at Sunnyside Elementary this year.

“They’re looking at education in the rear view mirror, from their own experience.”

The trio decided to write a book to provide accessible answers to many of the typical queries. Insider’s Guide to K-12 Education in B.C.: What every parent and educator needs to know was released by publisher Pacific Educational Press last month, just in time for the new school year.

The book, says Rawji, is an easy-to-read, factual guide, devoid of any opinions or debate.

“It’s basic stuff, but not so basic when you’re going through it.”

So far, sales have been “brisk,” the co-author says.

“All of the feedback has been really positive,” says Rawji.

“We’ve been told we’ve found a real niche in the market.”

The book is $19.95 and is available at all Kidsbooks loca-tions, as well as online at thein-sidersguide.ca.

The official launch takes place Sept. 11 at 8:30 p.m., at The Ismaili Centre in Burnaby (4010 Canada Way).

Clawing for helpA local cat rescue

organization is in desperate need of donations of cat food.

With dwindling donations during the hot summer and recent windstorm, The Surrey Community

Cat Coalition (SCCC) has partnered with the Surrey Urban Mission, Sources Food Bank, and veterinarians and pet supply stores in the Surrey area to provide

cat food to residents in Surrey who need help feeding their cats as well as stray and homeless cats.

The coalition is asking for pet owners and the general public to donate food as soon as possible.

A list of locations with SCCC collection boxes can be found online at http://bit.ly/1FwcCRT

The donated cat food goes to help cat owners in the community who earn low or have no incomes, so they can spend what little money they do have on essential care for themselves. The food also helps residents caring for stray and feral community cats.

The SCCC was formed in 2014 in response to the growing number of free-roaming cats in Surrey, which was just too many for any individual organization to handle alone. For more info, visit surreycats.ca

Three South Surrey men had to be plucked from the waters near the Tsawwassen ferry terminal last week, after their 24-foot Bayliner struck a log and was going down.

Andrew Newman, who operates a sea tours business from White Rock pier, said he heard the call for help around 5 p.m. Aug. 30, while en route to Crescent Beach.

“The situation was serious,” New-man states in a email to Peace Arch News, citing transmissions he heard

between the people onboard and the Coast Guard.

A BC Ferries’ rescue boat was first on the scene and took the trio onboard; Newman’s crew was next, followed by the Coast Guard and the marine search-and-rescue team out of Steveston (RCM-SAR7).

The ailing craft was dewatered and towed to Point Roberts.

There were no injuries, Newman said.

Despite concerns from residents who have spotted Japanese knotweed around White Rock, staff say eradication efforts over the past two years have been successful at working towards getting rid of the invasive plant.

Surrey resident John Brodie told Peace Arch News he spotted a cluster of knotweed between the train tracks and the shoreline on West Beach while visiting the city earlier this summer, and has seen it elsewhere on White Rock’s waterfront.

Two weeks ago, he returned to the beach and noticed that new shoots were beginning to sprout up near the larger plant.

“It’s very problematic,” Brodie said. “It just spreads like crazy and it’s very difficult to control unless you grab it early. I hate to see it getting a toehold down there.”

White Rock’s director of municipal operations, Greg St. Louis, said the city has had a management strategy in place since 2013, when nearly two dozen sites, including 11 in Duprez Ravine, were identified as having knotweed infestation.

“So far we’ve had a very good success rate in eradicating the plants that we’ve injected,” St. Louis said last week, noting

about 80 per cent of targeted knotweed plants have been

killed. Next spring, St.

Louis noted, the city will hire a contractor to undertake the “systemic injection” of chemicals that is required to contain

St. Louis said the location will be added to a database, put on the list for injection in the spring, and then be tracked and monitored by staff moving forward.

The trial of a man charged with taking a nine-year-old from her Surrey bedroom and attacking her last summer is scheduled to begin early next year.

Cory Andrew Schaumleffel, 29, appeared by video in Surrey Provincial Court last week on what was scheduled to be the first day of a preliminary hear-ing. Lawyers, however, said they were not ready to begin and re-scheduled the hearing to Oct. 21.

Schaumleffel is charged with kidnapping, sexual assault, break and enter, sexual interference of a person under 16 and exposing himself to someone under 16 in connection with the Surrey girl’s attack in late August 2014.

Police at the time said the child was lured out of her bedroom window in the night, taken to a park and sexually assaulted. She was then brought to a nearby yard and stayed until the attacker left before running home.

Another man was originally arrested and charged in the attack after he confessed shortly after the incident. But weeks later, Surrey RCMP said it became clear the man had admitted to a crime he had not committed.

After further investigation, Schaumleffel, who is from Chilliwack, was arrested on Oct. 13 and charged. He has been in custody since and accord-ing to Crown prosecutors, has never applied for bail.

Schaumleffel’s trial is scheduled for 16 days in early 2016, beginning Jan. 19.

Unwrapped field cucumbers are being recalled by major B.C. grocers due to possible salmonella contamination.

Safeway recalled its bulk-sold field cucumbers Sunday,

along with in-store products bought on or before Sept. 6 that contained them, such as salads, vegetable trays, sushi and sandwiches.

That recall was expanded Tuesday to include field cucumbers sold on or before

Sept. 4 by the Overwaitea Food Group through its Save-On-Foods, PriceSmart, Coopers Foods, Overwaitea and Freson Brothers outlets.

There are no known cases of illness in Canada, according to the Canadian

Food Inspection Agency.The Canadian recalls came

in response to a recall by a California producer and may be linked to an outbreak in the U.S., the CFIA said.

Products are to be thrown out or returned to the store.

Salmonella-contaminated food may not look or smell spoiled but can still make people sick. Young children, pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems may contract serious infections.

Cukes recalled in B.C.


Fishery managers have approved commercial fishing by seine boats for pink salmon despite estimates that the run is less than half what was anticipated.

The Fraser River pink fishery got the green light Tuesday as the Pacific Salmon Commission pegged the run size at 6.2 million salmon, down from a forecast of 14.5 million.

Conservationists had previously urged caution in fishing for pinks to avoid a bycatch of late-running sockeye entering the river at the same time.

There was no commercial fishing for sockeye this summer after the run came back far below the expected

6.8 million.Officials at the salmon

commission pared their estimates of the sockeye run size again Tuesday, cutting it from 2.4 to 2.1 million.

There’s no definitive explanation of why the actual returns have fallen short of predictions, but warm ocean temperatures over the past two years are thought to be one significant factor.

“Now the bottom’s falling out of the pink run,” said Sto:lo fisheries adviser Ernie Crey.

“So it’s a double whammy.”

This summer’s drought and low stream levels have also raised concerns for the survival rate of returning salmon as they migrate upriver.

A new French-immersion program that was to start at Surrey’s Cougar Creek Elementary this week has been cancelled before it could begin.

Surrey School District officials announced last month that the program was in peril due to low enrolment – just eight kids were signed up to start the kindergarten language program. Early last week, that number had risen to 12.

But that’s where enrolment stalled, forcing the district to halt the program as it fell far short of the 22 students preferable for a full class.

Even with 18 or 20, the class may have proceeded, said Surrey Board of Education chair Shawn Wilson, who was shocked at the low interest in the new French-immersion location.

“I would’ve expected there would be a full take-up of that program,” he said. “To ask the questions and go to the public… and include it in a facilities plan and open it and not have anyone commit to it was a disappointment.”

In June, after years of parents lobbying for better access to French immersion, the school district found available space at the Newton-area elementary school and gave the go-ahead to open a new program there. Cougar Creek would have been the seventh elementary school in Surrey to host an early French program.

Heather Bartlett, acting

executive director the Canadian Parents for French’s B.C. & Yukon branch, says the Surrey situation doesn’t indicate a lack of interest in French immersion, but the fact access to programs remains an issue.

“While we recognize that opening a new program was a step in the right direction, it is unfortunate that the first program expansion in over 20 years was placed at the city’s border (with Delta) and not more centralized within the district where there is high demand.”

On Tuesday, the first day of the school year, Bartlett issued a news release saying that according to a report released that day, more students in B.C. are participating in French-language programs than ever before.

“The report showed that province-wide, French-immersion enrolment has been increasing for 17 consecutive years. The booming popularity of this well-established program

is creating a shortage of qualified French-language teachers,” Bartlett’s news release said.

Every year, dozens of children are put on waiting lists as the demand far outweighs the number of student spaces available for French immersion in Surrey schools. From spring to mid-August, parents of the 229 families on the waiting list were contacted and offered a spot at Cougar Creek. Most, said the district, indicated they weren’t willing to drive to the school.

The waiting lists are significantly longer at the South Surrey schools that offer French immersion. But Wilson said the program has to be offered in all areas of the city.

“We have to establish these things in a fair and equitable way,” he said.

“We’re responsible for responding to the public’s demands and then we do and no one responds.”

B.C. took in just 72 government-assisted refugees from Syria over the past 2½ years – more than half of them coming to Surrey – and advocates say there’s room for so many more.

They compare Canada’s response to the current refugee crisis, in which Ottawa has pledged to take 10,000 Syrians spread out over three years, to how the country stepped up to accept fleeing Vietnamese boat people.

In 1980, Canada welcomed more than 19,200 southeast Asian refugees and nearly 60,000 more were sponsored over two years by churches and other groups.

“If there is political will, we can move mountains,” said Chris Friesen, chair of the Canadian Immigrant Settlement Sector Alliance.

The current trickle of arriving government-assisted Syrians, perhaps a dozen a year into Surrey, is a fraction of the city’s rapidly growing population, which climbs by about 1,000 new residents a month.

The number of additional church-sponsored Syrian refugees is uncertain, but is likely tiny, according to Friesen, who is also director of settlement services for the Immigrant Services Society of B.C. Most of the 72 Syrians have come to B.C. from Lebanon, but

others have arrived via Turkey and Malaysia, he said, and they come from a range of ethnic backgrounds from Kurds to Sunni Muslims.

“Surrey, Burnaby and New West are the primary destinations at the moment, largely due to the ability to find affordable housing,” Friesen said.

Friesen said he and other immigrant advocates want Ottawa to enact an emergency refugee plan that was drawn up as a contingency in 2002 following the Kosovo refugee crisis to

swiftly bring in a significant number of additional refugees, in consultation with the UN.

In addition, he says the government can and should issue minister’s permits to immediately reunify extended family members of Syrians already in Canada. That provision allows those family members who are in danger to come here in as little as 72 hours, leaving some aspects of refugee application processing, such as medical exams and clearances, to be conducted in Canada.

“The minister has a number

of tools at his discretion which currently have not been used and given the current crisis should immediately be initiated.”

As for the slow pace of meeting Canada’s commitment to take in Syrians, Friesen said that’s due to the government’s insistence most be sponsored by the faith community, rather than being government-assisted.

“They should have committed to 10,000 government-assisted refugees and then allow church communities to undertake additional sponsorship,” Friesen said.

Immigration lawyer Richard Kurland believes there are plenty of churches and other groups and individuals eligible and willing to sponsor more refugees, but Ottawa has arbitrarily imposed a quota that creates a slow bottleneck for processing sponsored applications.

“The problem is the immigration minister is processing about seven or eight cases a day,” Kurland said, arguing that could be changed at the stroke of a pen as there’s no lack of staff or resources.

“If the minister says instead of processing about eight cases a day, process 20 or 25, it’s an immediate solution.”

As it sits, he said, a flawlessly completed new refugee application filed now faces a 42-month processing wait.

Emergency refugee program urgedTom FletcherBlack Press

The B.C. government has added $1 million to its budget for helping refugees settle in the province, and has opened a toll-free information line for those who want to sponsor people fleeing violence in Syria.

Premier Christy Clark announced the funding in Vancouver Tuesday, along with a toll-free information number at 1-877-952-6914.

Clark said the province currently spends about $4 million a year to support the federal program that settles immigrants in B.C. The extra funds will be reserved to help Syrian refugees, she said.

“It is our belief that it’s just not good enough to totally open our doors,” Clark said. “We have to make sure that when refugees get here, we’re doing everything that we can to help them realize the Canadian dream and find their way as seamlessly as possible into British Columbia.”

arts & entertainment…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Alex BrowneArts Reporter

When it’s suggested to Brian Sumner that he and his brother, Bob, are likely to stay fiercely independent individualists on the music scene, he chuckles.

But he doesn’t deny it.“We can do anything we want

to do,” he acknowledges, noting that never having sought a major label contract, or management

representation – or even radio play outside of college and Internet stations – has its advantages.

“We have a significant fan base, and that’s worldwide,” he says of their South Surrey-based act, The Sumner Brothers, a continuing stand-out in the folk-rock-country idiom.

“It’s small, but significant – and we know, when we’re writing or

selling something, that we’re going to hear feedback.”

Those who only discovered the brothers latterly through their last album, the dark and twangy, roots-acoustic-tinged I’ll Be There Tomorrow, may consider their latest, The Hell In Your Mind – heavy with electric guitar riffs and driving drumbeats backing Bob’s “tenor croon” and Brian’s gritty “low baritone” – a departure.

While I’ll Be There Tomorrow plays almost like a situational pulp western narrative, The Hell In Your Mind – which drops later this month at selected stores and online – goes to even darker places in its lyrical content.

Songs like Last Night I Got Drunk, Giant Song, It Wasn’t All My Fault, Go This One Alone, Lose Your Mind, I’m Not Ready and My Dearest Friends are mostly to do,

Sumner admits,” with “people’s own personal, inner conflicts.”

The one exception, Ant Song – written by Bob, and inspired by a BBC wildlife documentary – uses the observed effects of a killer fungi on ant populations as a clear metaphor for the human condition.

“(The Hell In Your Mind) is a little bit more rock ‘n’ roll, I guess,”


This year has been “one surprise after another” said Julie Lin, a White Rock violinist who has won

national recognition as one of Canada’s best young musicians.

Although only 16, Lin is a community member of the Kwantlen Polytechnic University-based AJA Trio, which last month scored a first-place win in the chamber music category of the 45th annual National Music Festival.

The White Rock Christian Academy student joined her colleagues, KPU students Alexander Chernata (clarinet) and Andrea Pedro (piano), at the festival, hosted in Edmonton through mid-August by the Federation of Canadian Music Festivals.

Close to six dozen other entries – both individual musicians and groups representing the cream of young amateur musicians – were competing at the event.

It’s the most prestigious accolade so far for the trio, who also astounded audiences and judges with their technical proficiency and sheer musicality earlier this year with winning performances at the Kiwanis Fraser Valley International Music Festival, the National Chamber Music Class at the Performing Arts BC

Sumner says.But the music shouldn’t surprise

anyone who’s followed the brothers’ live shows and tours over the past decade, he adds. They’ve always been prepared to mix things up in that environment, he says, alternating folk country ballads and harder rock songs, as well as working with a wide range of musicians of different stylistic approaches, including punk, metal, folk and country.

They even, with clearly humorous intent, threw in a dance routine choreographed to Elvis Presley songs at their last Halloween show, he notes.

“It’s just something we’ve always done,” he says. “We’re not really going in a specific sort of direction – it’s just that these tunes, which we were using to rock out at shows, were starting to pile up… It wasn’t pre-planned.”

He recognizes that he and his brother’s generation, which came of age during the first wave of the Internet revolution in the 1990s, “grew up listening to a lot of different kinds of music; early hip hop, metal, grunge rock…”

But that eclecticism has led to a real fracturing of the music scene for subsequent generations, he observes.

“If you’re trying to keep up with the new releases, it’s very hard – there are so many things going on,” he says.

“I’m not sure that’s an entirely positive thing – some of my favourite

bands have been stylistically specific; they had a hardened, crystallized sound.”

As an album-oriented band, The Sumner Brothers most conscious decision has been to ensure that each production is consistent, he says – almost a return to the mood albums of the ’50s and ’60s.

“It’s like the albums I loved and grew up with. The way I listen to music, when listening for pleasure, is to find an album that suits my mood and complements it.”

The rock songs on The Hell In Your Mind – which had all acquired lyrics that suited their darker, guitar-driven

sound – became a concept album after the fact, he says.

“After a while we started to envision them being an album, and started to think that a new tune might be a song that fits

on this particular record,” he adds.“We don’t consider it a growth

thing – we want to go in whatever direction we feel like going at the time. The next set of tunes that’s piling up looks like it might be straight-ahead country.”

The Vancouver release show for The Hell In Your Mind will take place Sept. 25 at 9 p.m. at the popular Rickshaw Theatre venue, featuring the Vancouver Spaghetti Western Band and Big Top.

Tickets ($10 advance, $12 at the door) are available at Red Cat, Zulu Highlife and Neptoon Records and online at www.ticketfly.com/event/942593

The Encyclopedia House project of South Surrey artist Don Li-Leger seems to be on track for a debut at Newton’s The Grove in time for the Newton Pop Up Art Walk this Saturday (Sept. 12, 6-9 p.m.).

The art installation – an 8-by-12-foot temporary structure built from discarded encyclopedias and other books – is intended as a commentary on Western society’s need to address homelessness using ‘bricks’ of recycled knowledge.

The project had become embroiled in red tape, as city staff raised concerns about building and fire inspections.

But Li-Leger said that, following a Peace Arch News story last week, city staff now seem to grasp that the installation was not intended as a practical shelter.

“They’ve told me I don’t need a building permit,” he said. “It appears that all they need is a letter from an engineer saying that it’s not going to fall on anybody.”

Li-Leger said he was hopeful that a volunteer engineer

could be found in time to endorse the project, planned to be installed in The Grove, a treed area which abuts the Newton bus loop and Newton Recreation Centre.

The Newton Pop Up Art Walk will also include the opening of the exhibit Window Dressing – Cabinets of Curiosity by the Z-inc Collective, which includes Li-Leger and his wife Cora, plus artists Elizabeth Carefoot, Jennifer Clark, Willa Downing, Lesley Garratt, Reben Kambeitz, Claire Moore and Deborah Putman.

No building permit required for art installation

PETER’S SHOE REPAIR

Semiahmoo Shopping Centre


Festival and the 61st annual Young Musicians Competition.

Chernata is a second-year performance major and Pedro is entering her third year in the same program at KPU. Lin, also trained as a pianist, was brought into the trio by Jane Hayes, director of piano studies at the university.

“She was my former piano teacher – I’ve worked with her since I was four years old,” she said, noting the AJA Trio only came together in January of this year.

“All three of us were amazed and completely surprised that we were able to go so far

and reach such good results.”

Lin, who has also played with other ensembles such as the Surrey Youth Orchestra and the Vancouver Academy of Music Symphony Orchestra, said she found it was an exciting challenge to work with a woodwind instrument

and a piano as opposed to an ensemble with other string instruments.

She cited the quality of the

coaching the trio has received and also the musical chemistry they established quickly, even though the other members are several years older than herself.

“When you’re playing music together, age doesn’t matter,” she said.

Also a challenge was the fact that the trio was playing pieces that are not “the standard classical repertoire,” Lin said.

“They’re much more contemporary – pieces by Stravinsky and Khatchaturian,” she said, adding that she feels that the experience will benefit her in future university training. “It’s valuable to learn how to attack this kind of music,” she said.

For KPU, it was the university’s first win at the national festival.

“The AJA Trio (win) was definitely a Kwantlen music department highlight, not just for 2015, but for its history,” Hayes commented, in a university press release.

“While we have had former students go on to receive prestigious honours, this award is a first for current students,” added Hayes, who worked closely with the trio in developing its sound.

“The dedication and time commitment they’ve made results in beautiful-sounding teamwork at the highest level,” she said.

Our Community Service to You!

Forks Over Knives examines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the so-called “diseases of affl uence” that affl ict us can

be controlled, or even reversed, through a change in diet.

The major storyline traces the personal journeys of Dr. T. Colin Campbell, a nutritional

biochemist from Cornell University, and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, a former top surgeon at the world renowned Cleveland Clinic. Their

separate research led them to the same startling conclusion: degenerative diseases like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, & even

several forms of cancer, could almost always be prevented - and in many cases reversed -

by adopting a whole foods, plant-based diet.

Question: I looked after my mom and dad for the last 15 years of

my life. My sister wasn’t interested and had a really nice life. She was so impatient with my parents’ “old ways” she acted as if she should admonish them for their senior ways. My mom

died rst and shortly thereafter my father. My father had really become angry at my sister at how she upset my mom and how they had loaned a lot of money to my sister in her early unsuccessful years. The loans were never repaid. Without my knowledge he made a will cutting my sister out of it. She has started a lawsuit. Can’t someone make a will to suit themselves?

Answer: Nope. Your sister has the right to start a lawsuit just because she has been cut out, and

she can question the circumstances of the signing of the will, ie was your dad fully capable, or was it signed as a result of your pressure. However, starting a lawsuit is a lot easier than winning one.

NEW CLIENTS WELCOME



White Rock Players Club is seeking two new board members following recent resignations.

A new treasurer and new corresponding secretary are being sought for the club, which will hold a general meeting of members Sept. 20 at 7 p.m. at Coast Capital Playhouse (1532 Johnston Rd.) to vote on candidates for the positions.

Treasurer Karen Doolan and board member Michele Partridge both recently resigned from the club, which is reportedly struggling financially due to shrinking box office returns.

Membership in the club is necessary to be eligible for office, and nominees must have been a member in good standing for at least one year to be eligible for election to the executive.

The club is also holding a sale of theatre props, set decoration and set building items and

costumes on Sunday, Sept. 13, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the theatre.

– Alex Browne

The city’s business and arts community will honour some of its best next month, at the 12th annual Business and the Arts Reception – which includes the Surrey Civic Treasure awards presentation.

The event, set for Tuesday, Oct. 6 at the Surrey Arts

Centre, will include a meet-and-greet with Surrey’s mayor and council, as well as with the city’s newest recently announced Civic Treasure award winners – Roger Bose, Cora and Don Li-Leger, and Peace Arch News reporter Alex Browne.

The evening will also include food and live entertainment, including the cast of Red Rock Diner, performing songs from the show.

For more on the Surrey Board of Trade-hosted event, visit www.businessinsurrey.com or call 604-581-7130.

Best in business, arts to be honoured

When the Surrey Eagles hit the ice tonight at South Surrey Arena, it

will be a chance to officially put last season in the rearview mirror, and instead focus on the future – one that, for head coach Blaine Neufeld, hopefully includes the playoffs.

“That’s the goal. Our plans, our goal, is to win our division and make the playoffs,” Neufeld said. “We just want to put last year out of our minds.”

Last year, local hockey fans will recall, was a particularly tough one for the BC Hockey League club. Neufeld was in his first year behind the bench – in his first-ever junior ‘A’ head coaching job – after taking over from Peter Schaefer, and the roster, too, was

turned over quite dramatically.In an attempt to better connect

with the community, the team tried its best to stock the roster with local products, many of

whom were rookies. As well, the team was beset with a slew of injuries, and played many games with affiliate players.

In the end, it all added up to

a league-worst 9-45-1-3 record (win-loss-overtime loss-tie) and the second-worst offence in BCHL history, scoring at a clip of just 2.33 goals-per-game.

But all that is in the past, Neufeld said. Now, with a bevy of new faces – only eight players from last year’s team remain, after off-season trades, graduations and training-camp cuts – the squad is hoping to get off to a good start, beginning tonight (Friday) against the Langley Rivermen, and Sunday afternoon, at home against the Coquitlam Express.

“We have about 14 guys on the team now who knew nothing about last season, and all they want to do is win,” the second-year coach said.

“The tune has changed quite a bit around here.”

Helping matters was the fact

that Neufeld and his staff had a full off-season to recruit talent – last year, Neufeld took the reins midway through the summer.

Among the new recruits Neufeld is most excited about is new starting goaltender Justin LaForest, who was acquired from the RBC Cup champion Portage Terriers of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League, and 18-year-old Danish defenceman Ludvig Adamsen.

LaForest will be tasked with replacing outgoing netminder Christian Short, who was among the BCHL’s busiest netminders, routinely facing 40-plus shots per game.

Neufeld called the 20-year-old LaForest “a proven winner” who has been better than advertised through training camp and

preseason. “I think we had a tremendous

off-season. Our group did a great job of getting us some talented new guys,” Neufeld said.

And though he’s not technically a new recruit, the head coach was also excited about the return of young local forward Ty Westgard, who played 17 games last season – tallying nine points – before his season ended abruptly when his Achilles tendon was cut during a game.

“He’s looking really good, and

he’s got an elite skill set that really sets him apart from a lot of players,” Neufeld said.

Now, with the roster set, the Eagles’ goal for the season is a lofty one – a division championship and a return to the post-season.

Neufeld knows winning the six-team Mainland Division will be a tough one, especially with the addition of the Wenatchee Wild, but figures his group will be up to the task.

For starters, simply avoiding any lengthy slumps – last year, the team lost 16 straight at one

point – will help keep the team in contention.

“We’re not taking anything for granted. We know the division is going to be a very tough one, but the wins are going to come. We aren’t going to have a (streak) like we had last season,” he said.

“We are in a much better position now than we were last year.”

The Eagles’ home-opener is set for Friday, 7 p.m. at South Surrey Arena, and Sunday’s matchup against Coquitlam, also at home, hits the ice at 4 p.m.

Christabel Nettey fell just short of a medal at the World Track and Field Championships last week in Beijing, China.

The 24-year-old Surrey long-jumper jumped 6.95-m in the first of six attempts, the second-best jump of the first round. Nettey was in a podium position until Tianna Bartoletta of the United States leapt 7.14-m on her final attempt to win the gold medal. Shara Proctor of Great Britian was second at 7.07-m, while Ivana Spanovic of Ser-bia won the bronze medal at 7.01-m,

Nettey’s fourth-place finish was the best ever by a Canadian long-jumper at a world championship event.

A trio of famous Toronto Blue Jays alumni are set to hit the field on the Semiahmoo Peninsula this month, as part of the first-ever White Rock Baseball Day.

The event, set for Sunday, Sept. 20, will include a private clinic for local youth baseball players, and will be led by former Jays’ stars Roberto Alomar, Duane Ward and Jesse Barfield.

The Baseball Day event is being hosted in conjunction with the Jays Care Foundation, the charitable arm of the Toronto Blue Jays baseball club. Funds raised will go toward creating the first-ever fully accessible baseball field – perfect for Challenger Baseball – in the Lower Mainland.

The clinic is open to players aged nine to 14, and will be held at South Surrey Athletic Park from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Sept. 20. Participants will learn from the former pros, while also having time for lunch and an autograph session.

Alomar, Ward and Barfield are among the most famous Blue Jays players of all time.

Alomar – who was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2011 – and Ward, a relief pitcher, were members of the Jays’ only two World Series-winning squads, in 1992 and ’93.

Barfield, meanwhile, was part

of the great Toronto teams of the 1980s, teaming with Lloyd Moseby and George Bell to form one of the league’s best outfields.

For more on the baseball camp, or to sign up, visit www.wrssba.com and click on the ‘Baseball Day’ graphic on the front page. Cost per player is $75.

The day will conclude with the midget team facing off

against the visiting Cowichan Timbermen – who will be making their Vancouver Mainland Football League debut – at 2:30 p.m.

Rick KupchukBlack Press

The gamble has paid off for Chris-tian Covington.

The Surrey native opted into the National Football League draft last spring, opting not to play a fourth season with the Rice Owls of the NCAA (National Collegiate Ath-letic Association).

Four months later, the six-foot-two, 289-pound defensive lineman has cracked the roster of an NFL team, and Sunday afternoon will be on the field for the Houston Texans when they host the Kansas City Chiefs in the first game of the 2015 season.

“Dream come true, I’m taking it in right now,” Covington told the Houston Chronicle after learning he had made the team. “I can’t be satisfied. I’m looking forward to the journey that lies ahead. I can’t wait to be on that field come Sunday.”

After a high school career with the Vancouver College Fighting Irish, Covington – a Newton native

– spent four years south of the bor-der playing university football for the Rice Owls in Houston.

After sustaining a serious knee

injury seven games into last season, he decided to enter the NFL draft and not play a final year with the Owls.

“It was a hard decision for me,” Covington, 21, told Black Press in April, acknowledging some had questioned his choice of turning pro early. “Going into the (Hawaii) Bowl, it was my understanding I was probably going back to Rice for my fifth year. But once I was able to get away from football and school life, I took that time to come and settle down, be with my family, and think about what’s best for me. I thought this was an opportunity to capture a dream I’ve had since I was a little kid.”

Selected in the sixth round by the Texans, Covington headed to camp in July hoping to crack the 53-man roster. He played in all four preseason games, improving in each outing. He totalled 10 tack-les, including five in the final game last Thursday in Dallas against the Cowboys.

“It was a risk coming out early, especially with the injury that I had,” said Covington. “It turned out for the best.”

The Texans have listed Covington as second on the depth chart at the nose tackle position for Sunday’s game against Kansas City, behind veteran Vince Wilfork, a five-time Pro Bowl selection and two-time Super Bowl champion.

“In the 3-4 defence, he’s a little bit undersized for the nose position,” said Texans head coach Bill O’Brien of Covington.

“But he made a lot of plays. He’s very active, he gets off blocks, great kid. You talk about a hard-work-ing, really good, mature beyond his years type of kid.”

With four preseason games and the pressure of trying to make the team now behind him, Covington is going to enjoy his first regular season game as a National Football League player.

“It’s something I’ve wanted for a long time,” he said. “To finally see one of my dreams come true, it was a real good feeling.

“I’m happy to finally see that day come.”

KRAUSS, George (Jiri)February 20, 1934 - September 3, 2015

Sheila died on Wednesday, August 26, 2015 in Tampa, Florida, just two days before her 67th birthday.

Aft er her valiant fi ght with breast cancer in 2008, her battle with cancer resumed last September. Her strong will to live and the love of her family and friends carried her through another 10 months of grueling chemotherapy. Her determination was so strong that we are sure her death was a surprise even to her.

Sheila grew up and raised her children in White Rock, B.C. She moved away at various times in her life, making pit stops across the country, including Aldergrove and 100 Mile House. In 2001 she moved to Tampa to marry Walter, and eventually grew to love wearing a Buccaneers jersey in public.

She dedicated most of her career to helping others in the extended care industry in Canada and also the US.

Although Sheila left White Rock, her heart never did. It was her wish that she be remembered and brought back to Semiahamoo Bay, where she had so many fond memories of making sandcastles on the beach in White Rock, and of eating fi sh and chips at her parents’ restaurant, the Cottage Lunch.

Sheila leaves behind her husband, Walter Contois, her children Tim and Laura Waddell; daughter-in-law Suzanne; grandchildren Sierra and Luke; parents Norman and Doreen Stanley; brothers Bruce (Audrey) Craiggs and Scott (Janet) Stanley; and sister-in-law Sue (Frank) Defi llipis, as well as many nieces and nephews.

We believe Sheila is now in a better place alongside her infant grandson Gabriel.

A celebration of her life will be held Saturday, September 12 at 5:00 p.m. in the First United Church, White Rock, at Buena Vista & Centre St.

Use Semiahmoo Ave. basement entrance off parking lot.

SHEILA DOREEN CONTOIS (formerly Waddell, nee Craiggs)

Today they would have proudly celebrated their 70th anniversary.Th ey are watching over us now as we lovingly remember them.

‘May the winds of love blow soft lyAnd whisper for you both to hear

Th at we’ll always love and miss youAnd wish that you both were here.’

Forever in our hearts, Garry and Bonnie

In Memory of BERT PHINNEY

November 3, 1920 - August 4, 2014

and LILA PHINNEY

February 8, 1924 - January 6, 2015

On the evening of August 24th, Gale Woodward, and her beloved husband, Edwin Kiffi ak, were involved in a fatal car accident near Edwin’s farm in Foremost, Alberta. Family and friends are in shock and disbelief that these vibrant and loving partners have left us. Since their marriage, eight months ago, Gale and Edwin have spent time living in White Rock and Foremost.

Gale lived a rich and full life, hallmarked fi rst by her deep faith and trust in God, and secondly by the love of her family and enormous circle of friends. She maintained that her life was in God’s hands and lived accordingly.

Gale loved her native city of Vancouver where she grew up in a large family of fi ve sisters and one brother. Predeceased by parents Louis and Laura Abramson, daughter Topaze, and sisters Shirley Stefani and Tamara Gallo, she leaves behind sisters Merle Ivancoe and Tamara Abramson, brother Ian Abramson (Elaine), daughter Lynn Woodward (Don), and son, Rio Woodward. While bringing up her children, Gale lived in Vancouver, Bowen Island, Abbotsford and fi nally came to live in White Rock in the early 80’s.

GG, as she was lovingly called, leaves behind six remarkable grandchildren. She shared a very special bond with Janelle Cowhig, Gemma Myers (Joey), Hayley Jay (Tim), Aja McCarthy (John), Dylan Woodward and Shayde Woodward. In the past four years, GG also became a great grandmother fi ve times over.

Gale was a realtor with Homelife Benchmark Realty in White Rock for over 30 years was known for her integrity and her outgoing nature. She genuinely loved working with people and many of her clients became life-long friends.

Gale was generous, kind, energetic, inquisitive and was thrilled by the smallest things in nature. But most of all she was excited by God’s love for humanity. Anyone fortunate enough to have spent time with Gale was inspired with the delight and hope with which she viewed the world.

She will be deeply missed by her grieving family, including many recently added members of Edwin’s family. A celebration of Gale’s remarkable life will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 19th at White Rock Baptist Church, 1657 140th Street, Surrey.

For any enquiries, contact Gale’s sister Tamara (Tammi) at [email protected].
