Surrey-Cloverdale MLA steps down as B.C.’s minister of finance and deputy premier

MLA Falcon says he won’t run in 2013 Tom Fletcher Black Press

After months of speculation about his political future, Finance Minister Kevin Falcon announced he is stepping down as finance minister and deputy premier and won’t run in the 2013 election. The Surrey-Cloverdale MLA told a news conference in Vancouver Wednesday that he has a second child on the way and wants to focus on his young family. The finance minister needs to be able to campaign on policy and spending decisions when the governing

Falcon’s February budget projects that the province will balance the books again after a string of deficits that was extended to this year by the repayment of a $1.6 billion transition fund from Ottawa for adopting the HST. After being rejected in a province-wide referendum, the tax comes to an end next spring, just as the province is preparing for a scheduled election in May 2013. In his resignation statement, Falcon praised Clark as a “great campaigner and communicator.” see page 4

Family and friends of a boy who was sexually assaulted by Surrey’s Ron Bencze cheered, gasped and broke down in tears when the former TV reporter was handed four years in a federal prison by a provincial court judge Tuesday. The Crown had asked for two to three years in jail – a suggested sentence Judge Robin Baird called “lenient” – while the defence wanted a conditional sentence between 18 months and two years. Bencze, wearing a burgundy dress Ron Bencze shirt and black tie, gave a small smile and a wave to his family members as he was led into custody by sheriffs. Last month, the 45-year-old pleaded guilty to molesting the boy, who is now a teen, between March 2003 and December 2010, when the child was between the ages of six and 14. see page 4

It remains the sole piece of BC Rail trackage still operated by the provincial Crown corporation. The entire BC Rail sale will be fully examined by an inquiry which will almost certainly be set up soon after the next election, and when it finally reports, I predict that Falcon will be one of the few ministers from the initial Gordon Campbell cabinet whose integrity remains intact. One of his low blows was when he called the decision by voters in last year’s referendum to go back to the provincial sales tax “dumb.” Voters are always right, and elected officials who decry them don’t understand how our system is supposed to work. He is correct that the HST would have been a more efficient sales tax, but his government mishandled the entire issue from beginning to end. That’s why voters spanked them soundly. That’s why the PST is coming back. It may not be the best tax around, but the decision wasn’t dumb. Frank Bucholtz writes Thursdays for the Peace Arch News. He is the editor of the Langley Times.

news Const. David Bickle reassigned on the day VPD announces recommendation

Charged officer on administrative duties Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A White Rock RCMP officer who is facing criminal charges in connection with the May 2011 hit-and-run death of pedestrian Marilyn Laursen has been placed on administrative duties. Sgt. Peter Thiessen confirmed this week that Const. David Bickle – who was allegedly pursuing the vehicle that struck Laursen – was reassigned Monday, the same day that charges were laid. He remains at the White Rock detachment. Vancouver Police Department announced

the charges against Bickle – dangerous driving causing death and dangerous driving causing bodily harm – Monday morning, following an investigation into his actions that was requested by the RCMP immediately following the collision. According to the VPD, “the results of the investigation allege that RCMP Const. David Bickle’s actions and failure to follow the numerous federal and provincial guidelines regarding pursuit driving contributed to the death of a pedestrian.” Both VPD and RCMP officials have declined to comment further on the charges,

Lights-out strikes twice in S. Surrey In what BC Hydro officials are describing as “a strange coincidence,” thousands of South Surrey residents and businesses were without power two nights in a row this week, for two entirely different reasons. Monday, a 9:30 p.m. crash near 160 Street and 26 Avenue left 2,584 BC Hydro customers in the dark. Surrey RCMP Sgt. Drew Grainger said he could not comment on the incident as it was not attended by police. The area affected by the power outage was bounded by 152 Street on the west, 176 Street on the east, 20 Avenue on the south and 32 Avenue on the north. Power was restored four hours later. A fault in an underground cable is being blamed for the second outage, which began at 8:45 p.m. Tuesday and lasted until 11:20 p.m. That outage affected a wider group – totalling 4,288 customers, including the 2,584 affected the night before – within an area bounded by King George Boulevard, 26 Avenue, 180 Street and 48 Avenue. BC Hydro spokesperson Jennifer Young described the consecutive outages as “just a strange coincidence.” “It is certainly odd,” Young said. “We really appreciate customers’ patience.” - Tracy Holmes

Suggested breed ban for pitbulls sparks debate

Dog attack puts media focus on family Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Elizabeth and Emma Cranford.

The story of a White Rock girl who was attacked by a pit bull last week has sparked a flurry of media and public interest. Elizabeth Cranford said her daughter, Emma, was featured in a late-night TV news broadcast Monday night – just hours after Peace Arch News first told her family’s story online – and she started getting requests for more television and radio interviews at 6:30 a.m. Tuesday. While a bit overwhelming, the attention to the issue “is what I wanted,” Cranford said Wednesday. “I want to fight to the end on this.”

Emma, 4, has taken the attention in stride. the incident changed their opinion of pit bulls, “I just tell her we’re doing this because we and moved them to call for a ban on the breed, don’t want any other boys and girls to get bit- as has been done in Ontario and elsewhere. ten,” Cranford said.

Falcon will remain involved: Hogg from page 1 Clark has appointed Attorney General Shirley Bond as acting finance minister, but said it is a short-term arrangement and a new cabinet lineup will be announced “in the coming days” to prepare for the election. Falcon was first elected MLA for Surrey-Cloverdale in the BC Liberal sweep of 2001. His first cabinet post was minister of state for de-regulation, and he served as minister of health and

transportation before moving to finance in March 2011. Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg said he wasn’t too surprised by Falcon’s announcement. Hogg said that when he spoke with Falcon a week-and-a-halfago, it seemed “the issues of his family and the issues of the job were in conflict.” “I know it was a very difficult decision,” Hogg said. While the two Liberal MLAs have had what Hogg describes

as “healthy disagreements” in the past, he said he respects Falcon and predicts his now-former colleague will be back, though not necessarily in public office. “I think Kevin will always be involved (in politics) in one way or another.” As for his own political future, Hogg said he still plans to run in the next B.C. election “I still have passion and excitement (about the issues),” he said. - with files from Dan Ferguson

Media attention foreseeable: judge from page 1 It was January 2011, when the victim was 14, that his mom discovered sexually explicit text messages between her son and Bencze. She called police, and Bencze, a married father of three, was arrested shortly thereafter. In delivering the four-year jail sentence in Surrey Provincial Court, Baird referred to the sexual assault as “deviant and unlawful” behaviour for which Bencze should pay a hefty price. He said the victim’s childhood had been “blighted, if not outright stolen.” The judge said Bencze’s actions were extremely difficult to understand. Baird pointed to interviews Bencze had with a psychiatrist just a few months ago in which he idealized the boy and said he just wanted to please him.

“In the accused’s mind, he, the mature adult, was the submissive party, taking the path of least resistance, participating because he didn’t want the complainant to feel bad about himself or so as not to hurt his feelings,” said Baird. “The accused seems to refer to the matter as if he was swept away by the… charisma of a child and allowed himself to be borne along without much reflection.” The comments, Baird said, made him question whether Bencze, even now, appreciated the magnitude of his crime. Baird said the persistent and repetitive abuse, in light of the fact Bencze had no mentalhealth issues or history of abuse, constituted “criminal conduct of a grave and serious” nature.

“He was quite simply a normal adult with a normal background who should have known better,” said Baird. The fact that he lost his career, that his family has been adversely affected and that he’s received so much media attention, were all foreseeable consequences to his behaviour, Baird added. Bencze was initially charged with three counts of sexual assault, four counts of sexual interference and two counts of invitation to sexual touching involving three people under the age of 16, but all but the one charge of sexual assault to which he pleaded guilty were stayed by the Crown. Bencze had a long career in journalism before being fired from Global BC after his arrest.

Coin issue continues Months after White Rock officials discovered Canada’s new loonies and toonies don’t work in parking meters around Peace Arch Hospital, the problem continues. Stickers warning against using the 2012 coins remain affixed to the 90 or so roadside machines located along streets including Finlay, Russell and North Bluff. “It’s unfortunate this problem has not been solved yet,” city manager Dan Bottrill said last week. “It’s not good for (the supplier), it’s disappointing for us.” Meters supplier POM originally committed to coming up with options in May, Bottrill said. “We’re really not hearing too much,” he said. “It’s disappointing, quite frankly, (that) it’s taking this length.” The machines were among others across Canada that did not work with the $1 and $2 coins rolled out by the Royal Canadian Mint in April. - Tracy Holmes

Neck pain can be very debilitating but the source of the pain can be difficult to determine as common tests such as CT scan, MRIs and X-ray do not detect soft tissue injuries. In the absence of effective treatment the pain can become chronic and patients may believe their pain is life-long and permanent but it is exactly the opposite. Studies involving a Multi-Cervical Unit (MCU) have shown that even long suffering patients can experience incredible results with a diagnosis and treatment plan based on the ground breaking technology developed by BTE Technologies. The development of a Multi-Cervical Unit (MCU) by BTE Technologies makes is possible for therapists at Advanced Physiotherapy to identify weak muscles that need strengthening to alleviate the pain from strained tissues. The MCU provides therapists with objective measurements of neck strength, flexibility and range of motion which are then compared to normal results. Muscles that need strengthening are identified by the MCU software and a recovery plan is then implemented. The MCU is revolutionary in the diagnosis and treatment of soft tissue injuries whether it’s from a fall, auto accident, work place injury, or sports injury. The technology allows our therapists to make a more accurate diagnosis and treat each patient for long term results. Studies have shown excellent results even for long term chronic pain and although results vary, a high percentage of patients experience remarkable improvement.

Hefty price to pay for bargains

n increasing numbers, Canadian consumers are heading south for an overnight stay and shopping to take advantage of new cross-border allowances and the high dollar. Cross-border trips in June, the first month the higher exemptions took effect, were up to levels not seen since 1972. Back then, the dollar was also above par, and gas prices were low. It seems many are willing to spend time in border lineups and pay for the extra gas to save on items. The downside is that local retailers take a hit, and when they do, they cut back on costs – such as new hires. And those much-hated taxes (which pay for health, education and other important programs) take a hit as well. Local business owners play major roles in sponsoring myriad local activities and initiatives, such as youth sports teams and charitable causes. As revenues decline, so does the ability of businesses to give back to the community. Retailers in border communities – like White Rock and South Surrey – are particularly impacted. And the Semiahmoo Peninsula is an even closerknit community than others. We observe in times of celebration and in times of grief just how close it is. Neighbours are friends of friends, merchants are each others’ customers. We can see that each action we take has a reaction, and when we try to make a difference through community initiatives, subsidizing sports or cultural activities, or fundraising for worthy causes, we understand the pie can only be sliced so many ways. On one level or another, cross-border shopping impacts all of us. By failing to support local business, we may save in the short term, but lose in the long run. Canadians are, understandably, looking for bargains – and local business must recognize this as a market reality. But there is a point where the lure of cheaper U.S. products will come back to haunt all of us. A long-term decline in retail jobs and declining tax revenue can do major damage to the B.C. economy. Tax shortfalls must be made up somewhere, which means everyone (including cross-border shoppers) will pay more. This is not a situation that was manufactured locally. The federal government encouraged this flow of dollars to the south, with the cross-border allowance changes it made. Now it’s incumbent upon the same government to address factors such as high import tariffs that have impeded the competitiveness of many a Canadian business.

not three steps on the line anymore. They changed that. It used to be three steps. Now it’s one.” When he spoke about apologizing to his teammates, he was clear: “I’ll look them all in the eyes and put it on me,” he said, pounding his chest. “It’s sports. They don’t mail you the medal before you get here. You’ve got to earn it.” We have read plenty about how the women’s soccer team will inspire many Canadians by their performance. Wouldn’t it be nice if his reaction also inspired many others? The people who drive exotic cars or motorbikes at high speeds and then hide behind parents or the law, what if they stood up and admitted their mistakes? What about employees who deny wrongdoing, and chase the system through mediation or arbitration until the system buries their mistakes? What about judges who make mistakes? I think Connaughton’s admission should be replayed in our schools and sports arenas as often as the podium scenes are. His words remind the public that a first-class athlete doesn’t always end up with a trophy on his shelf or a medal around his neck. Life without rules or officials to enforce them would be pretty chaotic. Jim McGregor is an accomplished writer and poet who writes weekly for The Langley Times.

Reflecting on their sacrifices Editor: During the Second World War, of the 12,000 Canadian men and women who served on the Canadian and other Allied merchant ships, one in eight lost their lives while serving their country in the Atlantic and Pacific theatres of war. Many others were wounded while in service or taken as prisoners of war. In their memory, the Merchant Navy Veterans’ Day Act was passed 10 years ago in Canada’s Parliament to acknowledge the contribution of these veterans who served alongside our Allied military forces during the war, and helped to preserve the democracy and the freedoms we have today. Bill C-411 reads: “Throughout Canada, in each and every year, the third day of September shall be known as Merchant Navy Veterans Day.” This day was selected to mark the beginning of the Battle of the Atlantic and Germany’s sinking of the British passenger liner, S.S. Athenia. A small number of the veterans who are still living in the White Rock/South Surrey area will be reflecting on their military support service and remembering their fallen comrades this coming Monday, Sept. 3. Each one has some very interesting stories to share with us. I encourage everyone to remember this special day. Lest we forget. Alvin Myhre, Surrey

for violating them? Every form of pollution seems to be heavily controlled, with the exception of excessive noise from farm artillery. Make no mistake – it is a health issue. It’s about time Surrey’s mayor addresses this issue affecting all citizens, even if some of her supporters are the culprits. Evelyn Magee, Surrey

Keep dogs out until all comply Editor: Re: Should the City of Surrey ban all dogs from parks with sports fields?, online poll, Aug. 22-29. Absolutely. The answer to this is very simple and straightforward. In addition, not only ban the dogs but enforce the bylaw. The parks/playing fields are used by young children. A dog that is running off-leash in these parks is

not only a nuisance for their feces left behind and remnants thereof – which is unfortunately a frequent occurrence – but they are also a potential danger to the children. Until such time that all dog owners have their dogs on leash and under control and pick up everything left behind, then please stay in the dog parks. I don’t take my children and their friends to play baseball, soccer etc. in your dog parks. And if I did, how would you react? The parks are to be enjoyed and respected by everyone. Mike Rivers, Surrey

Taking a bite out of bitumen Editor: Pipeline pie. A thick, dark, toxic, gooey center surrounded by a hard, tasteless outer shell.

Mmmmm, anybody want a piece? It may sound good to some but most would prefer none, and that says a lot when it comes to pie because most everyone would agree that everybody loves pie. To ignore the red flags of Enbridge would be like ignoring the oil light on your car’s dashboard. Obviously, our dependency on fossil fuels isn’t going to disappear overnight, so until we reluctantly concede to a lower-carbon economy, we must choose the projects that make the most sense and are truly in the best interests of all Canadians. The Northern Gateway pipeline proposal is about as radical as radical gets. I guess that’s why it’s being so fiercely defended by its proponents. I don’t know about you, but if you have to try that hard to sell something, it can’t be all that good. So I think I’ll pass on the pipeline pie, but I might try some of that cake. John Freeman, White Rock

of note

What’s the point of having rules if there are no penalties for violating them?a Evelyn Magee

write:

A big, booming health concern Editor: When are our mayor and council going to show some gumption and tackle the long-standing, and increasing problem of noise from blueberry farm propane cannons? While Abbotsford council is drafting bylaws to help residents disturbed by artillery fire from burgeoning blueberry farms, our mayor and council continue to hide behind the right-to-farm legislation. But, at the same time they are ducking the issue, they seem to have no problem developing and selling property adjacent to farms and collecting the ensuing development charges and taxes from unsuspecting residents. Please understand, it isn’t just new residents and non-farmers affected. Farms in Surrey have steadily converted from traditional crops to luxury-crop blueberries, leaving many long-term residents assaulted for months – morning to night – with cannon noise. Farms raising animals have had their livestock negatively affected. The guidelines for cannon use are repeatedly violated by some irresponsible farmers with no fear of penalty. What’s the point of having rules if there are no penalties

The changed colour scheme of White Rock’s waterfront railings – from blue to black – continues to stir debate.

Rail opinions cover the spectrum Editor: Re: Railing paint ‘badly needed,’ Aug. 23. Although not a White Rock resident, I am fortunate to be able to spend lots of time at the beautiful waterfront. It’s very disappointing to see the railings along the promenade painted black. The original blue colour was so appropriate and added so much to the scenery. Now the railings are dark and dismal. As to city manager Dan Bottrill’s reasoning that the black colour doesn’t distract from the picturesque waterfront – not true. At least two-thirds of the days are cloudy and gloomy, and the former blue colour really brightened things up on those days. Typical decision made by a bureaucrat, made without consulting council or White Rock taxpayers because that’s what he thought would be best. And on my 50-minute walk on the promenade this morning, I encountered no less than six dogs being walked along by their owners, in spite of the signage that pets are not allowed. Maybe Bottrill’s painters could spend a little time repainting the “no dogs” decals on the walkways. And of course, as usual, not a bylaw officer in sight – oh wait, I forgot, they’re all where the money is, in the parking lots.

Kudos to the City of Surrey for their decision to not allow dogs in Surrey’s parks where there are playing fields. I visit Bakerview Park often and on numerous occasions have seen owners allow their pets to do their business on the grass with no attempt, or intention, to clean up after them. And by the way, its a lot more than “a few” pet owners that dog-lovers constantly refer to. Don Campbell, Surrey Q City manager Dan Bottrill should be ordered to personally finance the repaint to blue. Prison bars do not belong on the people’s beach. Jean Moffat, Surrey Q Re: Feeling blue over painting it black, Aug. 23 letters. I think the black railing on the promenade looks great. I also think letter-writer Donna Burns needs to get a life, maybe complain about the high cost of parking, or all the highrises being put up, or maybe even how the city wastes the taxpayers’ money on dumb things, maybe even complain about fixing some of the roads. Go down to the beach, feed the pigeons, enjoy life… Terry Sauer, Surrey

news Charlene Sierakowski can insure her car

Theft victim back on the road Dan Ferguson Black Press

Last Thursday, Charlene Sierakowski got the news she was hoping to hear. ICBC told the 19-year-old that she will not have to pay a $230 fine before she can put her Chevy Cavalier back on the road. “I can insure my car now,” Sierakowski said. But because she is going to China for a three-week modeling assignment on Sept. 4, she says she will wait until she comes back. It’s been a month since Sierakowski discovered that the ID stolen with her purse in Crescent Beach had been used by someone to duck a police ticket for drinking in public, a crime the Langley resident says she did not commit. Sierakowski’s purse and ID were stolen in March when she took her dogs to Crescent Beach, using a borrowed car because her Cavalier was in the shop. She returned from her visit to the local dog park to discover someone got into the locked car trunk by ripping open the back seat. After reporting the theft to police and replacing her ID, Sierakowski thought the matter was over and done with until she went to insure her car July 25. That was when she was told that a Surrey Mountie had written her up for drinking in a public place

Charlene Sierakowski was a victim of identity theft and fraud. almost two months earlier. She would not be able to insure her car until she paid the $230 fine, or could prove it was incorrectly issued. Sierakowski had joined the hundreds of B.C. residents who fill out ICBC Driver Impersonation Packages to report violation tickets they say have been falsely recorded against their driving records. Figures provided to PAN by ICBC show more than 200 tickets are cancelled every year in B.C. as a result of impersonation packages being filed. In 2009, 1,110 files were opened and 230 tickets were cancelled

because of impersonation. In 2010, there were 1,050 files opened and 290 tickets were withdrawn as a result of such claims. In 2011, 810 files were opened and 260 tickets were cancelled. Some tickets, ICBC notes, get cancelled without a driver having to fill out an impersonation package because a police review has found them to be bogus. According to a copy of the violation ticket provided to Sierakowski, the alleged drinking incident occurred at 6:55 p.m. on May 2 near 70A Avenue and 137A Street, a time when she was working in a restaurant. The person who used Sierakowski’s drivers’ licence scrawled the initials “C.S.” where the “alleged offender’s signature” is supposed to go on the ticket. Sierakowski said she’s been signing her full name since she was old enough to spell it. She said the officer who issued the ticket still has to fill out paperwork, but she has been assured there will be no trouble getting her car insured without a fine. She is relieved the issue has been settled and is determined to never leave her purse unattended again. If any ICBC customers believe they have been victims of driver impersonation, they can file a claim by visiting an ICBC point of service or by calling 604-6612800.

Anne Affleck will be riding in the Lung Association Bicycle Trek 2012 for Life and Breath on Sept. 8-9.

White Rock resident takes part in fundraising ride for research

Bike Trek to battle cancer Dan Ferguson Staff Reporter

The first time Anne Affleck rode in the BC Lung Association Bicycle Trek was in 1999. The White Rock resident dedicated the ride to the memory of her grandfather, who died of lung cancer. Affleck has ridden in many more treks since, and she says there has, sadly, been no shortage

of people to honour, including a couple of friends. The trek is set to run Sept. 8-9. The goal of the two-day, 200km ride through the Fraser Valley is to raise money for lung health and air quality research, education and advocacy work. More than 350 riders are taking part. Affleck hopes to raise at least $500.

“…but if I get $5,000, that would be great,” she says. Affleck can be sponsored by going to www.bc.lung.ca/campaigns_and_events/bicycle_trek. html, and clicking on “sponsor a participant” then entering “Anne Affleck” in the search fields. For more information about the event, visit www.bicycletrek.ca or call the BC Lung Association at 604-731-5864.

Taste of Celtic flavours

local ﬂavours U

ad it not been for a few slabs of babyback ribs, Richard Eley may have spent his days crunching numbers as a chartered accountant. Eley was all set for a career offering financial support until he made dinner for a group of his friends while living in Ontario. “I was making barbecued baby-back ribs, and I still make the same ribs today sometimes, and my friend Sarah Massah says to me, ‘This is really good. You should go to chef school.’ So I did. And I never looked back,” Eley said. After receiving his red-seal certification, Eley moved to B.C. in 1996 and, one year later, opened the now-closed Fronds on the Beach on White Rock’s waterfront with three business partners. After more than 10 years at Fronds, Eley left and became head chef at nearby Jimmy Flynn’s, where he was tasked with creating a Celtic-inspired menu. The longtime chef pored over books for days, reading over the ancient cuisine – comprising seven separate nations – to come up with modern dishes with a Celtic touch. “I never thought I would be making Celtic food, no,” he laughed. “But it’s just like everything else. There is one main difference between a cook and a chef, and that is that a cook has to follow a recipe and a chef can take a recipe and adapt it to whatever he needs it to be. “For me, I wanted it to be authentic and use some old classics. Like the shepherd’s pie. We use lamb, but a lot of people use beef. I don’t know about you, but I don’t know many

local flavours

shepherds who watch cows.” One of Eley’s additions to the menu is his seafood stew which features a pinch of rosemary and Yukon gold potatoes. The trick to making the dish is to have your ingredients prepped in advance, he said.

Celtic seafood stew Ingredients: 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 red pepper, diced 1/2 red onion, diced 1 Roma tomato, diced 1lb sliced button mushrooms 1 tablespoon chopped garlic Pinch of Rosemary, salt and pepper 3 oz chopped halibut 2 medium-sized prawns 3 oz sliced chorizo 8 oz of fresh mussels 2 oz lobster tail cut in half 1/2 cup dry white wine 1/2 cup chicken stock 1 finely diced Yukon gold potato Instructions: Have ingredients ready to make for easier cooking. Heat large, deep pan, add oil, then add the vegetables. Sauté until the onions are translucent, then add the potatoes and garlic, sautéing for another minute or so. Add the rest of the ingredients. Cover the pot and allow the seafood to steam for about five minutes, or until the prawns and lobster are cooked through – be sure not to overcook. Serve and eat.

Non-invasive carp in Fraser Black Press

Unusual fish caught in the Fraser River near Lillooet and Lytton are common carp, not the highly invasive Asian silver carp that have infested some U.S. river systems. An alert circulated last week by area First Nations warned tha Asian carp had been found in the river, but the Department of Fisheries and Oceans said Monday that all the fish caught so far are European or common carp. They’ve lived in some Interior lakes for decades, but it’s rare to see them in the mainstem Fraser. Aboriginal fishermen near Lillooet netted several carp recently. Watershed Watch Salmon Soci-

Weak sockeye run rules out fishery Jeff Nagel Black Press

Fishery managers say the Fraser River sockeye run isn’t strong enough this year to allow any commercial fishing or recreational angling. Latest estimates peg this summer’s return of salmon at about 2.3 million, up from the pre-season estimate of 2.1 million. “At these levels we’re not anticipating commercial or recreational fisheries,” said Barry Rosenberger,

DFO’s Interior area director and co-chair of the Pacific Salmon Commission’s Fraser River panel. This year’s run is down from five million last year and way down from the huge 2010 run of 30 million sockeye, believed to be a rare anomaly. A low 2012 return wasn’t unexpected, because sockeye run on a four-year cycle and the previous generation that spawned in 2008 was very weak. The commercial and recre-

ational sectors knew fishing was unlikely, Rosenberger added. First Nations, who get fishing priority for food, social and ceremonial purposes, have caught 400,000 Fraser sockeye so far. Rosenberger said he doesn’t consider this year’s run a bad outcome because four adult sockeye are returning for every one that spawned in 2008. It’s better than in 2008, he said, when less than one adult came back for each spawner.

ver carp had arrived in the river. “They’re an extremely invasive and destructive species,” he said. According to DFO, Asian silver carp compete for food with local fish, prey on their larvae and cause serious habitat damage. They’re also known for jumping out of the water – often right into motor boats – and can pose a hazard to boaters and water skiers. There’s a concerted effort underway in Ontario to keep invasive carp from the U.S. out of Canadian waters. B.C. banned the possession or sale of Asian carp in 2010. They were originally imported to the U.S. for use in fish farms but soon escaped to the wild.

Back to School…Back to Work!

www.peacearchnews.com 31

The ﬁrst day of school is a big step for parents too! It only seems like yesterday when you were holding your little one in your arms, and now your son or daughter is getting ready to go to school. This is an important step in the lives of children, but it is also a big day for parents. Here are a few tips to help this ﬁrst day be a happy memory to look back on.

• Reassure your children by telling them all about kindergarten well in advance. Use simple, positive words. Focus on the activities they’ll enjoy and the friends they’ll make.

• Visit the school with them or at least walk around the schoolyard. If your children will be going to school on foot, walk the route a few times with them. Remind them of all the safety rules and go over the landmarks with them. • At least one week before the big day, establish a routine similar to the one your children will follow during the school year. Decide on the time they should get up and eat breakfast, get dressed, brush teeth, prepare schoolbags, and leave for the bus or walk. The same goes for the evening routine: choose when bath and bedtime will be.

• Two days before the start of school, check their school supplies. Every item should be identiﬁed with your children’s names. • The evening before the big day, help your children choose the clothes they’ll wear and involve them in the preparation of their lunchboxes.

• Avoid showing any stress you may be feeling. Calm parents mean calm children. Answer any questions simply, without further explanation, as making a fuss won’t help anyone. • Last but not least, don’t forget to take a picture of them with backpack and lunchbox as they leave for their ﬁrst big day!

news Newborns appeared ‘lifeless’

Six kittens abandoned

Jeff Nagel Black Press

Animal cruelty investigators are trying to figure out who abandoned six newborn black kittens inside a cooler in North Surrey. The kittens were dehydrated, hot to the touch and appeared lifeless at 5:30 p.m. Monday when a woman spotted the open cooler bearing a “free kittens” sign on a sidewalk in direct sunshine near Whalley

Boulevard and 108A Avenue. “The kittens are only a few days old, some with umbilical cords still attached and eyes not yet open,” BC SPCA spokesperson Lorie Chortyk said. “They would certainly have perished if they hadn’t been rescued right away.” The kittens are now under veterinary care at the BC SPCA Animal Hospital in Vancouver and will be placed into SPCA foster homes for around-the-clock care

once they are well enough to leave. Chortyk hopes someone can identify the distinctive cooler, which bears a “Koolatron” label that someone might recognize. Anyone with information regarding the case is asked to call the BC SPCA Investigations Department at 604-6471318. For more information about the BC SPCA, visit www.spca.bc.ca/

Semiahmoo Secondary grad to release EP on Sept. 14

South Surrey singer’s Boats to set sail Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

f there wasn’t a West Coast bluegrass idiom before, there is now – emerged fully- grown from the imagination of South Surrey-raised singer-songwriter Lydia Hol. Sea imagery and metaphors run through the sensitive lyrics of Hol’s aptly-titled debut EP, Boats, a six-song, bluegrass-inspired folk album. It was also – just as appropriately – recorded close to the sea, in a four-day marathon session on Galiano Island with producers Georges Couling and Ben Brown and the members of her backup band The Barefoot Boys: Davin Miller (banjo, guitar, mandolin), Damian Ritchie (fiddle), Wesley MacInnes (bass) and Brandon Holm (drums). “During breaks we’d watch boats sailing past the island, through binoculars,” Hol said. “The guys were saying to me ‘I get it now.’” And, indeed, the carefullycrafted, beautifully sung and played compositions on Boats – which has its release show Friday, Sept. 14, at 8 p.m. at at Ocean Park Community Hall, 1577 128 Contributed photo St. – sail past the listener like selfSemiahmoo Secondary grad Lydia Hol and The Barefoot Boys will release their EP Boats on Sept. 14 at Ocean Park Community Hall. contained vessels, each carrying its own individual character with “I was always singing, but I was melodic voice, Hol, who also has a in live shows. “It’s very easy to write slow-singera story to tell. just so shy,” she said, adding that degree in English Literature from Studies in jazz singing at songwriter-sad songs,” she said. “I The 2005 Semiahmoo Secondary moving home to South Surrey UBC, has an overriding passion Vancouver Community College was trying to challenge myself a bit grad has worked with a wide as a musician has been an eyefor stories, which manifests itself further honed her performance with more upbeat songs.” variety of bands since opener for many of her in all of her original songs. skills, and working in bands in Although she waited a long time she started to pursue “Storytelling is the most various idioms – including the to get the sound she wanted, the ❝I always knew classmates. music seriously, most “Everyone hearing important part of music for me,” blues-rock of Head of the Herd – actual recording of the EP came I wanted to sing about recently touring with the EP and the she said. “I’d say I’m almost more has also broadened her range. together very rapidly. – and one day I show is so surprised, the Fox Seeds 2011 of a storyteller than a musician.” Travelling in a more acoustic The catalyst was meeting winners, Head of the Some of the maritime-tinged folk-oriented direction seemed fiddler Ritchie – and the rest of decided I had to although they’re very Herd. imagery for Boats was inspired by natural for her, she said. the pieces, including musicians do it or I'd always supportive.

Slew of blues talent set for festival Alex Browne Arts Reporter

For guitarist-vocalist Todd Wolfe, playing White Rock’s Blues By The Sea festival this Saturday at the Semiahmoo Park bandshell will be a first. Though he’s known co-organizer Jason Buie since 2009, the nearest he’s come to playing the Peninsula is Vancouver – in gigs as part of recent Western Canada tours with his trio, and before that, shows as lead guitarist with Sheryl Crow. “He’s been out this way a few times, but we haven’t been able to put a show together due to timing and circumstance,” said Buie, who is co-producing the upcoming event with Phil Davey of Q Sound, in co-operation with the Semiahmoo First Nation. “This time he let us know he was coming through and timing worked out perfect to have him at the second Blues By The Sea show.” The period of working with Crow (he was with her band for five years) is still a significant credit in Wolfe’s more than 30-year resumé. After years of playing the club scene in New York, he was invited to join Crow after her second album clicked – they’d known each other since she was a backup singer for Michael

Jackson, and he’d co-written and recorded a first demo for her when she went solo. “It was hard work,” he said of the years with Crow. “Sheryl’s a task-master, but what’s good about her is she puts in the work herself. It was a great experience.” In the decade-plus since he worked with Crow, the Queens, New York-born guitarist has carved out a solid reputation for pared-down rocking music with a undeniable blues influence that evokes, for many listeners, the classic electric blues-rock period of the ’60s and ’70s. “Blues guys call us rock and rock guys call us blues,” Wolfe said. “We kind of fall through

the cracks. Even now, as we’re playing, I’ll think this could be in the same genre as Humble Pie or Clapton in the ’70s. “It’s a trio, so we don’t have the extra percussion or keyboards in the sound – we’ll see what pans out in the next couple of years. “I’m a work in progress – I just wish I could afford to take some time off to give my voice a rest!” Also recognized as a songwriting talent – he co-wrote with Crow and has had his songs covered by such diverse performers as Deborah Coleman, Larry McCray and Faith Hill – Wolfe is looking forward to finishing up a couple

of songs currently in the works and getting back into the studio again (his most recent CDs are a live album released in 2011, Stripped Down at the Bang Palace (2009) and Borrowed Time (2008). He’s also enthused about the potential of his current band, which in addition to his scorching, sometimes psychedelic guitar lines, also features bassist Justine Gardner and drummer Roger Voss – both of whom are now adding backup vocals to the sound. Wolfe’s Sept. 1 set at 6:30 p.m. joins a stellar day-long line-up of internationally and locallyknown blues talents, including Buie and Vancouver band Brickhouse, featuring White Rock drummer Ed Johnson. Also featured will be Sean ‘Blue Puppy’ Riquelm, David ‘Boxcar’ Gates, Velvet Bulldozer, featuring Jim Black, Ellie Johnson and Arsen Shomakhov. Admission for the festival, which features a salmon barbecue and an assortment of arts and crafts booths, is $15 per person or $40 for a family (kids under 12 get in free). Tickets are available at Tapestry Music, Surfside Music and the Surrey Arts Centre (and online at surrey.ca/arts). For more information, call 604-617-8453.

Dentures are prosthesis that should only be considered for temporary use. The device is associated with many negative consequences that eventually lead to a dramatic decline to the well being of the wearer.

Dentures only considered for temporary use Extensive bone loss experienced by denture wearers account for most of the issues. With increasing bone loss, often as soon as a year into complete tooth loss, the denture has to be made taller and more bulky in order to provide the required esthetics. This results in a movement of 10 mm or more in every direction. The net effect is a very unstable denture where food can slip under the surface and hurt the underlying gums. The movement causes further bone loss and the vicious cycle continues. In the upper jaw , the denture is made to cover the roof of the mouth. This is a way of achieving some degree of suction to retain the prosthesis but the wearer pays the price of having 70 % of his / her taste buds covered and the gum tissue is strangled all day long with very little oxygen exchange through its surface.

Exhibit to open Mirror Mirror, a juried exhibition of selfportraits at Surrey Art Gallery, 13750 88 Ave., has its formal opening Sept. 15, 7:30-9:30 p.m. The exhibit, presented by the Arts Council of Surrey, brings together works from 30 artists from across the Metro Vancouver region who use the form to depict not just physiognomy and personal identity, but also broader social issues. The jurors, South Surrey painter and portraitist Deborah Putman, Kwantlen University visual arts instructor Ana Black and Surrey Art Gallery assistant curator Brian Foreman have chosen works with an eye to diversity of media and approaches to the contemporary portrait. White Rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Elizabeth Hollick received first place for her painting Care Giver, a moving portrayal of the changing roles in personal relationships.

Trees are thirsty too! Summer is here; the weather is warm; and the trees on your street and in your yard need water. Like us, trees need long refreshing drinks of water to stay healthy. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you can do to help your neighbourhood street trees and the trees in your yard this summer: 1. Water the trees twice a week. 2. Water thoroughly at the base of the trees for 15 minutes. 3. Water during the cooler parts of the day (early morning and dusk) and when it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t raining. 4. Water slowly so that the water has time to soak into the dry soil and reach the roots, instead of pooling on the surface.

Davidson said. Tuesday afternoon, after putting 35 young Semiahmoo players through their paces, Davidson remarked on their unusual good manners. “We always have kids who say thank you (after a training session), but not these numbers,” Davidson said. “It’s a credit to the parents of the area and a credit to the hockey association.” Davidson, developer of the UltraSkills training program, believes every player should get a chance to carry the puck in a practice, and he ensures that by

matching players of equal abilities during practice sessions. He says some kids will touch the puck more during one of his practices than they will during an entire hockey season. Outside on the soccer field next to the arena, strength and conditioning coach Mike Pickles was running players through dryland drills. “This is the Spider-Man crawl,” he said at one point, demonstrating how to develop strength and flexibility by adopting the all-fours movements of the comic-book web-crawler.

Cloverdale Spurs take home championship title Rick Kupchuk Black Press

With two wins on the final day of play, the Cloverdale Spurs have won the Baseball Canada Western Championship. The Spurs wrapped up a threeday tournament in Saskatchewan Sunday evening, defeating the host Saskatoon Blue Jays in the

championship game. The Blue Jays led 3-0 after batting in their half of the third inning, but Cloverdale responded with four of their own. A double by Spencer Pawliw drove in the first two runs, and Tre Pankratz singled to bring in two more. Saskatoon regained the lead by the midway point of the fifth inning,

but the Spurs did all the scoring after that. A home-run from Rhys Cratty and a run-scoring double from Pankratz put the B.C. team back in front. In the bottom of the sixth, Pawliw doubled to score Dryden Dion and Michael O’Toole, then scored himself on Wesley Moore’s single. The Spurs defeated Sherwood

Park 11-5 in a semifinal contest Sunday morning. Tanner Carmont drove in three runs and scored twice, going two-for-three with a home run. Cratty also homered. Cloverdale went 2-1 (won-loss) in round robin play, placing second in their four-team group. They began play with a 14-4 victory over Winnipeg South last Thursday.

Cratty hit his first of four home runs in the tournament, and was two-for-three with three RBIs (runs batted in) and three runs scored. They then lost their only game of the competition, 14-4 to Spruce Grove on Friday morning, a game that lasted just five innings. Down 8-0, the Spurs scored their four runs in the top of the fourth inning. Learn more! Scan with QR reader on your smart phone.

Come ﬁnd your I’ll Have Another

South Surrey’s Julia Ayre and Mike Zhang won in mixed doubles at the Surrey/Delta championship.

Two years ago, a yearling named I’ll Have Another sold for $11,000. This year, ridden by B.C.’s own Mario Gutierrez, I’ll Have Another won the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes, and the hearts of horse racing fans around the world. He won more than $2.7 million in prize money for his owner. And it all started at a sale just like the Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society Annual Yearling & Mixed Sale. I’ll Have Another is an enormous success story, but there have been many other less publicized stories. Hundreds of prize winning horses have come from the CTHS-BC sale throughout its 60-year history. Recent retiree, Spaghetti Mouse, was purchased in the 2003 sale and the horse has since won

close to $1 million, all earned at Hastings Racecourse. And prominent local horse owner Glen Todd purchased Taylor Said for $9,000 in the 2009 sale. It has earned $278,000, including a huge win in the Longacres Mile at Emerald Downs in Seattle earlier this year. See the future of thoroughbred horse racing in B.C. Find your I’ll Have Another. Everyone is welcome to come and see future prizewinning horses at Thunderbird Show Park in Langley, B.C. Whether you simply want to see the powerful thoroughbreds and discover what it’s all about, or you’re looking to buy your ﬁrst horse or ﬁfteenth horse, everyone is encour-

aged to visit and spot the next big winner. The 85-acre Thunderbird Show Park is one of North America’s premier equestrian facilities and it’s located right in your backyard. Enjoy the afternoon with live music and a snack, and see where the journey begins for these magniﬁcent animals. The CTHS Yearling Parade on September 10 and Annual Yearling & Mixed Sale on September 11 are two of the largest displays of horse racing talent in the country. Everyone who visits is eligible to win the grand prize draw of an all-expense-paid trip to California to watch the 2012 Breeders’ Cup, November 2-3, 2012, at Santa Anita Park in Los Angeles.

Big win for local youth A win by South Surrey residents Julia Ayre and Mike Zhang proved to be key to winning the Summer Junior Surrey/Delta Team Tennis League championship last week. The Aug. 22 victory by the pair in mixed doubles action gave the Hazelmere Golf and Tennis Club the edge over the Crescent Beach Swim and Tennis Club, four matches to three. Participating clubs this year also included the White Rock Tennis

Club and the Sunshine Hills Tennis Club from Delta. Players ranged in age from 12 to 18. It was the 28th year of the competition. The team tennis league was created by White Rock resident and tennis coach Bruce Webster, who has been involved in White Rock and Surrey coaching programs for decades, including the White Rock Tennis Club, Crescent Beach Swim and Tennis Club, Surrey Parks and Rec as well as Hazelmere.

First-time buyers an important market

Appealing to the younger buyer It takes a lot of skill and savvy to market a home. You have to know who you want to reach and how to do it. Several developments in the Lower Mainland have adopted a very chic, very hip approach to reaching their client bases in the past year. The Ultra Urban Village development – located in Surrey’s Central City – has taken a modern approach. The 40-storey, 362-unit tower is just a block away from SFU’s Surrey campus, and marketing manager Joanna Bysterveld says developer WestStone Properties definitely targeted students with Ultra’s marketing, which features ads and websites covered in pink.

“We’re trying to aim toward very chic, very trendy with Ultra,” she says. The homes at Ultra ooze with style. The kitchen cupboards have a vertical wood grain that gives the room a subtle stripe theme. The suites also come with the ultimate hip signifier: undermount sinks, cut right into the granite, that look like they belong in a factory. An amenity centre packs in a theatre room that can be booked for movie nights and hockey parties, and Bysterveld says that has been a hit with younger buyers, who have flocked to the project. For more information, visit urbanvillageliving.com.

He also notes that Portrait’s awardwinning reputation is drawing in buyers. Portrait has won a total of 105 major industry awards, including 27 Gold Georgie Awards, several national SAM Awards and the Avid Diamond Award for Best Customer Service Experience in Canada this year. “People are really wanting peace of mind,” Steine says. “We’re giving that to them with this project.” Portrait started out in Surrey, Steine says, and is pleased to return to the area. He is particularly excited about the technology that will be available at the sales centre. “It’s going to be an innovative iPad interactive feature,” he says. It will give potential buyers the ability to

choose their home, colour scheme and finishings right on the iPad. They are then given a printout of what they chose to take home with them. “It’s a very detailed presentation,” Steine says. The development is already under construction, and Steine says buyers will be able to start taking possession by the end of October or early November. There will be six phases in the project, and those who buy before construction on their home begins will have more choice available to them on their finishings. Pricing will start in the low $300,000s. For more information and to pre-register, visit www. portraithomes.ca/communities/ panoramawoods.

Livability at a great price point

Portrait returns to Surrey with Panorama Woods by Kerry Vital

Portrait Homes is bringing something different to Surrey with its latest townhouse development, Panorama Woods. With a great central location and plenty of green space, buyers are sure to find a sense of serenity with their new home. Located just minutes from Highway 99, getting where you need to go will never be an issue. There are several schools in the area, as well as shopping and leisure activities such as golfing and walking trails. “It’s really central to anywhere you want to go,” says Troy Steine, vicepresident of marketing and sales for Portrait Homes. “It’s very convenient.” That convenience is continued with the on-site clubhouse, which will feature a lounge area with a kitchen, exercise room and a guest suite, among other amenities. However, it’s the homes themselves that are really drawing people in. “The floorplans are very livable,” says Steine. One special feature of the homes at Panorama Woods is the powder room on the main floor, something that Steine says Portrait is happy to offer its buyers with this project. With a variety of three-bedroom plans available, there is truly something for everyone at Panorama Woods. The homes range from approximately 1,380 to over 1,700 square feet, all with a modern open-plan layout. “How we build and finish the homes is really going to be something Surrey hasn’t seen for a long time,” says Steine. “There is a very high level of standard finishings available.” Some of those standard finishings include nine-foot ceilings throughout the main level and an electric fireplace that is perfect for curling up in front of at the end of a long day. “The kitchens are very usable,” says Steine. With designer-selected granite countertops and a hand-set ceramic tile backsplash, the kitchens are a gourmet’s dream. The stainless-steel appliances and chic contemporary cabinets are complemented by the modern track lighting in the kitchen that easily illuminates your every task without lending a harsh light to the proceedings. The master suites are relaxing and elegant, with a hand-set ceramic tile tub surround and ensuite floor, large separate shower stalls and tons of closet space. The cabinets with their sleek

knobs and pulls are fitted with softclose drawers and doors as a thoughtful little touch. Portrait is planning to hold its grand opening in late September or early October, but Steine says that those who pre-register will be able to get a sneak peek at the homes before they officially open. “If they register now, they have the opportunity to meet with our sales staff the week before opening,” he says. “It’s a good opportunity … and gives them the ability to choose their home before grand opening day. They will want to act on that very quickly.” Portrait only recently started allowing pre-registration for Panorama Woods, and Steine says that there are already a few dozen people registered. “There are a lot of people looking in our price range,” he says. “I think we’re really fitting the bill there.”

“

How we build and ﬁnish the homes is really going to be something Surrey hasn’t seen for a long time,” says Troy Steine, viceresident of marketing and sales for Portrait Homes.
