Stop-work order issued after cutting extends into city park and through neighbours’ properties

Outrage over extensive clearcutting Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Giant logs litter a development site in Newton where an approved tree cut allegedly went well beyond city permits and into protected areas and other private lands.

A housing development at 5904 144 St. approved by council last June required the removal of 39 significant trees. The city

issued permits for the cut, and on Aug. 12, those trees were removed.

However, according to City of Surrey General Manager of Planning and Development Jean Lamontagne, the cutting went much further.

The tree felling proceeded through a riparian area designated as a city park and continued onto private properties.

The developer also cut into the setback of a tributary of Hyland Creek, which is a fishbearing stream, Lamontagne said.

Neighbours quickly called the City of Surrey, which slapped a stop-work order on the development, but not before the damage had been done.

Several investigations have been launched to discover what went wrong.

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans is conducting a separate probe.

Starla Dejong lives next door to the clearcut and said she was told to leave her suite because the tree cutter felt a large maple tree was going to fall on the house.

The size and scope of the clearcut infuriated the neighbours, she said. see page A4

Victim testifies he tried to protect himself against a hammer and pipe wrench with bare hands

‘My husband’s killing someone,’ court hears Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Sheri-Lynn Brown remembers that the words her husband spoke to her three years ago left her uneasy.

“He said, ‘no matter what you hear, no matter what you see, do not come out of the trailer,’” Brown told Justice R. Crawford Monday.

“It’s not a statement you make every day. Something in my stomach said something isn’t right.”

Not long after, she was pleading for a neighbour’s help. She told him, “my husband’s killing someone,” she said.

Brown was testifying in the Supreme Court trial of Darryl Gordon Brown, who at the start of proceedings pleaded not guilty to three charges – aggravated assault, assault with a weapon and robbery – in connection with an Aug. 1, 2009, incident in South Surrey

that seriously injured White Rock businessman Fred Edrissi.

Darryl Brown was ordered in December 2010 to stand trial on the charges, following a preliminary hearing in Surrey Provincial Court.

The bulk of Edrissi’s evidence was heard Tuesday, when he told Crawford how he went to a property in the 16500-block of 32 Avenue – where Darryl Brown was living – on the night in question

demeanour – he was nervous and agitated, he said.

Edrissi said he followed instructions from Brown to move his minivan to the back of the trailer, then headed into a workshop nearby to try and fix a grinder that Brown had been struggling with.

He was at a workbench with his back to the door when, “bang, bang, bang on my head.” see page A5

to have mechanical work done on his minivan. Brown was renting a trailer from a friend of Edrissi’s who lived in a house on the same property. Edrissi had attended the site twice earlier in the day, but Brown kept sending him away, first to pick up parts, and then because Brown said he wanted some quiet time with his wife, he said.

Edrissi said on his last return, he noticed a change in Brown’s

carver. His people include many talented artisans. But because TFN now has a much different and more secure role in the region, what happens on its lands matters a great deal more than it used to.

As the caller stated, they are the original residents of Delta.

The TFN members bring a sense of place to Tsawwassen that no one else can.

This is also true of other First Nations in our region, including the Semiahmoo at White Rock, the Katzie on Barnston Island and the Kwantlen in Langley.

Each of these First Nations plays a very significant role in both our collective history as a region, and the present day.

When they are given the ability to have more control over their lives, their economy and their lands, in the end everyone will win.

It is also important to pay respect to outgoing Tsawwassen chief Kim Baird, who was defeated in the election by Williams. She brought her people a long ways from where they were, and there were those who disagreed with her goals to sign a treaty and become selfgoverning.

However, she proved to be a valuable leader and visionary, for both TFN and for First Nations people in B.C. She achieved a great deal and deserves thanks from all of us.

news Witnesses watch as man jumps from height of 20-30 feet

Worker leaps from bucket to escape fire Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A 29-year-old man suffered a broken wrist and other nonlife-threatening injuries when he jumped from a construction-truck bucket that had burst into flames.

“Right as I got about 15 feet from the guy up the pole… I heard this sort of bang and then he went up in flames,” said Angela Hiebert, a nearby resident who happened to be out for a run Tuesday when the incident unfolded in front of her at the corner of 3A Avenue and 171 Street just before 2 p.m.

“As soon as he went up in flames, he unhooked ❝I heard this himself and sort of bang just jumped. I and then he watched his head the ground.” went up in hitHiebert estiflames.❞ mates he jumped Angela Hiebert from a height of 20-30 feet. neighbour Police, fire and ambulance crews attended, and the man was transported to hospital.

It is unclear what caused the fire, or what the victim was working on when it broke out. At the scene an hour later, a saw he had been using appeared to be resting on the power lines, still running.

Hiebert, 32, was the first person to the man’s side. He was conscious but in shock, and his boots were still on fire, she said. The man asked what happened and complained that his arm hurt, she said.

Hiebert began first aid, drawing on firefighter training she received years ago but never got to use – due to an injury sustained about four years ago, she had to change careers. She stabilized the man’s neck and attended to a gash on his chin, she said.

A saw still runs (left) an hour later, as workers indicate where a man leapt from a bucket that had caught on fire Tuesday afternoon in South Surrey.

The man did the right thing to jump, Hiebert said.

If it had happened on any other Tuesday, Hiebert, who is five

months pregnant, would have been at work. She had booked this day off to get a little time for herself.

“What are the chances I was there

at that moment?” she said. “I’m just glad I was there.”

Public ceremony to be held Saturday at Crescent Legion

Appreciation for NATO service set in stone Alex Browne Staff Reporter

A cenotaph monument to be dedicated this weekend at the Royal Canadian Legion Crescent Branch 240 is likely a first for North America and beyond.

The memorial, to be unveiled Saturday at noon at the legion (2643 128 St.) – in a ceremony open to the public – commemorates the sacrifice of Canadian men and women who gave up their lives while serving with North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) forces in the former Republic of Yugoslavia and Afghanistan.

The new cenotaph will join two other memorials at the legion – one honouring the Canadian veterans who served in the First and Second World Wars, and the other remembering those who served in Canadian peacekeeping missions.

“The three together will form a combined cenotaph to recognize all areas of service,” said branch president George Temperton.

“As far as we know, this is the first (memorial to NATO veterans) in Canada, if not in the world,” said legion first vice-president and dedication chairman Yvan Theriault.

“There are none in the U.S. yet and none in England,” he added.

Temperton and Theriault both gave tribute

George Temperton, Yvan Theriault and engraver Ves Vukovic examine design. to a group of business people and legion members who launched the project this spring, and Ves Vukovic of South Surrey’s Stonemarks Engraving, who has donated both the stone and his own engraving skills.

The two stones that form the new monument, carved from dark B.C. granite, weigh a combined total of close to 1,500 lbs.

“If somebody wanted a monument like this created, it would cost $15,000 once it’s

carved and all the high-tech work is done,” said legion promotions and advertising manager Henri Wendel.

Wendel noted that the legion’s mandate limits the way it can use revenues from liquor sales, meat draws and 50/50 draws – with the emphasis on grants and bursaries.

“The way things are run, we can’t use the funds we raise to erect cenotaphs,” Theriault said.

“It’s thanks to this gentleman that this is happening,” he added, pointing to Vukovic.

Vukovic, who was born in the former Yugoslavia, said he views helping create the monument as a logical way to give back to his adopted country.

“As a guy who came to Canada 18 years ago after the Bosnian War, I think it’s important to participate in community projects, particularly those that support veterans,” he said. “The whole idea is for immigrants who came to Canada to get involved, especially if they’re now finding themselves comfortable.”

An inscription on the cenotaph reads, Through this stone we touch the lives of those who served for freedom, and the creation of such a monument is seen by members as part of the mandate of the Royal Canadian Legion since its incorporation in 1926.

NATO – seen largely as a peacetime

military alliance – was established in 1949 as a response by Western nations against aggressive military expansion by the Soviet Union in the wake of the Second World War and fears that unstable Western European nations would join the U.S.S.R.’s communist satellites in Eastern Europe.

Although the end of the Cold War and the collapse of communist regimes in Eastern Europe in the 1980s led some to question the validity of NATO, international instability and the threat of violent extremism have ensured its continuing role.

The sacrifices the new cenotaph honours are very real, Theriault noted.

In Afghanistan, 145 members of the military have lost their lives serving with NATO forces, and in the former Yugoslavia, 12 Canadians serving NATO troops were killed, joining 13 others killed while serving as United Nations peacekeepers.

Eight of those lost in the two missions were from B.C. “It’s hard to get NATO veterans into the legion,” noted Wendel. “They want to forget what happened.”

But the organizers of the project hope the monument is a first step toward letting such veterans know that their service has not been overlooked.

Neighbour Starla Dejong says she was told to leave her house for fear that a large maple tree would fall.

Mayor promises ‘significant fines’ from page A1 “We were mad,” Dejong said, adding her eight-year-old son told the cutter, “You’ve ruined our future.”

She echoes her son’s sentiment, adding her “feeling of security is gone.”

Rebecca Leung lives right next door to the development and said she was saddened to see the scope of the tree felling, which far exceeded the original 39 trees.

“They weren’t supposed to cut

that much,” she said.

Calls from Black Press to the developer’s agent weren’t returned

by Peace Arch News press time Wednesday.

Mayor Dianne Watts said she has no interest in continuing business with the person responsible.

“There are going to be some significant fines, a significant mitigation package, and a stopwork order,” Watts said Tuesday.

“Myself and council, we’re in

absolute agreement on not letting him move forward.”

She said she’s tired of seeing people play fast and loose with Surrey’s bylaws.

“It’s beyond me how this can happen when you have a responsible person undertaking work,” Watts said. “That says to me this person is not responsible, this person is not abiding by the rules and regulations, and I have no interest in them doing work in this city again.”

FALL JEWELLERY Crown to review psychiatric report REPAIR EVENT

from page A1 Turning, Edrissi said he saw Brown with a hammer in one hand and a pipe wrench in the other.

“I said, ‘why?’ He said, ‘give me your money,’” Edrissi told the court. “I said, ‘please, you can have it, please stop.’

“He wouldn’t stop.”

Edrissi went on to describe how he tried to put distance between himself and Brown by swinging the grinder above his head by its power cord, then running out of the shed. Brown followed, he said, continuing the attack.

Listening from the courtroom gallery in New Westminster, Sheri-Lynn Brown – who separated from her husband two years ago – cried as Edrissi spoke, watching as he used his hands to show how he defended himself.

“He was whacking me, left and right,” he said. “I tried to cover with my hand, cover my face and head.”

Darryl Brown didn’t speak after the demand for cash, Edrissi said. He just continued to follow Edrissi, attempting, when Edrissi tripped and fell, to strangle him with the grinder cord, and then to hit him with a large rock.

“He grabbed that stone, he whack it (at my head), grab it again, he whack it.”

With a broken arm and shattered kneecap, Edrissi dragged himself under a truck that was parked outside his friend’s home.

He rolled from side to side as Brown tried to prod him out from under with a metal bar, he said.

Outside court Tuesday, a shaking Sheri-Lynn Brown told Peace Arch News that she returned to watch the proceedings after giving her evidence the day before because she needed to know what had transpired in the time that she couldn’t see her husband and Edrissi that night.

Monday, she told the court she had seen much of the assault, but missed what happened when she hid in bushes on a neighbour’s property. She said she had appealed to the neighbour for help but hid after she was told to get off the property because the resident said he doesn’t “need that sh-- around here,” she said.

Sheri-Lynn Brown talks to victim Fred Edrissi outside court Tuesday.

She described Edrissi as “a nice guy that always brought my kids treats.”

On the night in question, her husband’s mood was “normal,” she told the court. The order to stay inside the trailer, however, was disturbing, she said.

Darryl Brown also told her to “have your shoes on and be ready to go,” the witness said.

She testified that she saw her husband follow Edrissi into a shed that was located adjacent to their trailer, and that Darryl Brown had a tool – part of a jack he had used on Edrissi’s minivan – in his right hand. While Edrissi’s demeanour appeared normal, her husband had “a look I hadn’t seen before,” she said.

A few seconds later, there was a thump, followed by Edrissi’s voice saying “why did you do that? … here, take it, you can have it all, take it, take it,” she said.

When the two men emerged from the other side of the shed, Edrissi was walking backwards, his hands up and his face covered in blood; Darryl Brown had a red tool in his hand, his arm raised as if poised to swing, she said.

When the tool impacted Edrissi’s head, “I heard his skull crunch,” the witness said.

After police arrived, Sheri-Lynn Brown said she saw Edrissi lying on the ground, covered in blood

and not moving.

“I couldn’t go past the body,” she said. “I thought he was dead.”

In cross-examination, Edrissi laughed when defence lawyer Jeremy Fung suggested he had triggered the confrontation by swinging at Darryl Brown when told his van keys wouldn’t be returned until he paid Brown for mechanical work.

“What a lie,” Edrissi said. “I never in my life touch anybody or attack anybody. That is pure lie, absolute lie.”

Edrissi also objected to Fung’s suggestion that his memory of the night’s events was confused, and to the suggestion that Edrissi had a pipe wrench in his own hand while hiding under the truck.

“I couldn’t carry anything with broken hand, broken knee, broken skull, broken ribs…” he said.

The assault stopped when a tenant of the home’s basement suite came out to investigate the noise, the court heard.

Prosecutor Jas Gahunia closed the Crown’s case Tuesday. In addition to Sheri-Lynn Brown and Edrissi, she called two police officers to give evidence, along with a resident of the property.

The trial has been adjourned pending Crown’s review of a psychiatric report provided by defence. A continuation date has not been set.

editorial

Media reports no punishment hey’ve been punished by the media coverage.”

This phrase, or variations of it, is often used by defence lawyers lobbying for lighter sentences for their clients.

It’s been heard time and again in sentencing submissions for all manner of cases – from those for impaired drivers who strike and kill pedestrians, to last week’s sentencing in Surrey Provincial Court of a woman who pleaded guilty to stealing two dogs.

We even hear it from judges who render their decisions, noting that the guilty parties have already suffered prior to sentencing.

And they all have a point… but only to a point.

Indeed, anyone accused of a crime who is unlucky enough to get unwanted media attention pays a price. Some readers or viewers no doubt will rush to judgment, convinced that only the guilty get charged. Sadly, this is not always the case. Innocent people – and all are deemed innocent until proven guilty, in the eyes of our system – suffer from that same system in which justice is meant to be conducted in public.

However, once a guilty plea is entered or a conviction rendered, it should be incumbent on the courts to consider any suffering caused by public scrutiny to be off-limits when sentencing.

Friday, the lawyer for confessed dog thief Louise Reid told the judge that a news article on her involvement in stealing dogs was posted on a bulletin board at her work, for all to see; and a front-page story appeared in the newspaper her granddaughter delivers.

In a word, awkward.

But this shouldn’t be considered punishment for her crime. We can only hope Judge Peder Gulbransen did not consider it such when he gave her a one-year probation and ordered her to pay $2,500 in restitution, as the dog was never returned to its rightful owner.

The argument in court is almost always along the lines that news reports caused the offender embarrassment – word got out that they broke the law. The question that must be asked is, what exactly did the guilty parties think would happen?

Did they only decide to break the law because they thought no one would find out? And that if anyone did find out, that no one would call them on it?

It is an ignorant and arrogant stance.

The media exists to inform the public of what is happening in their communities; to help recognize those who do well and hold accountable those who choose to act outside the law.

There is a simple way to minimize the discomfort: don’t break the law.

He would like to think people would remember that cancer can be beaten.

He says it again in French, his characteristic West Coast accent more prominent than usual.

There are cheers, and then the chant begins again. “Ter-ry. Ter-ry. Ter-ry.”

He tries to talk over it, but they are simply too loud, and they will not stop.

He knows what they want. He grins and loosens his tie. He hands his jacket to an aide and rolls up his sleeves.

His RCMP security detail takes up position to his right and left. They know what’s coming.

He wades into the crowd.

“Make a path,” someone shouts, and amazingly, the crowd parts like the Red Sea. And he begins to run, a familiar hopping gait, arms chopping the air.

There are screams of delight, as people fall in behind.

Recipe for cacophony

Show of appreciation

Editor: Re: Bursting at the seams, Sept. 4 letters.

Thank you to J. Chandler Zehner for your insight into the pressures of living on 128 Street, South Surrey.

I am writing from 24 Avenue and 128 Street where we have lived for 31 years. My comments are as follows.

Ocean Park Village is now a brand devised by local businesses to market their products.

The 128 Street area affected is a 12-block-long arterial road in an area Surrey has designated as urban within the communities of Crescent Heights and Ocean Park.

The quantity and sounds of construction work, heavy trucks, heavy equipment transport and contractors’ trucks with trailers have increased dramatically.

Couple this with the four-plus vehicles that eventually come and go from each of the dream houses. Add to that poorly muffled motorcycles, diesel pickups with custom exhausts, boom cars, muscle cars, the increased frequency of transit buses and, more recently, community buses, and we have the recipe for cacophony on 128 Street.

Traffic noise day and night – and the inability to get respite from it – are a reality for most 128 Street residents. And yes, houses are being torn down to put up the optimumsized American arts-and-craftsstyle house. Why? Because Surrey approves, and some can afford to, in our luxurious corner of a beleaguered world.

Surrey is now engaged in intersection works at 20 and 24 avenues that will move traffic more efficiently along 128 Street. As a result, speeding will increase, even in the 24 Avenue school zone.

As long as RCMP surveillance is minimal along 128 Street and its intersections, and traffic calming is only for select avenues, speeders will blithely proceed.

Change is inevitable in our overpopulated world. What we need is better-thought-out change with a more complete perspective.

We need the increased participation of area residents in Surrey’s planning process to seek solutions so that we can have the community we all want to live in.

Editor: Louisiana-style music at the Farmer’s Market in Ladner on Sunday made my heart jump and my body lilt, dip and sway as I lingered from stall to stall, all my senses being alerted and stimulated simultaneously – the wood-smoke from the ovens in the pizza truck, the profusion of fresh flowers, vegetables, jewelry and crockery, home-made pastries and breads, French patisserie delicacies.

As I wandered, sampled, chatted and made a few purchases, the music grew louder and I drew closer to the small crowd listening to the music, some standing, others sitting on the available seating.

It was Ladner’s last farmers market of the season, and I stood there, mesmerized by the group of musicians playing accordions, washboards – a totally family affair, as the youngest member couldn’t

Don’t dump on our city Editor: I know you most likely have heard this story many times, the dumping of garbage in lots and green spaces.

Well, on my walk this morning in the lovely green space in the cul-desac on 145A Street, I could notice something through the trees.

Upon a walk through the space, in the lawn area, I saw two truckloads of someone’s personal garbage dumped. They would have to have driven down into the green space to

Honestly, this is getting to be a weekly occurrence in our lovely neighborhood. It is appalling.

How do we control this type of slobbish behaviour? Not fair that this is left to the city to deal with once again.

I hope the slobs left an envelope, with their address on it so that they can be fined for this type of behaviour.

have been more than five and the other child, maybe 10, but there they stood and played their washboards along with the other band members.

I felt like I was in The Big Easy, with Dennis Quaid and Ellen Barkin. What a treat – better than cotton candy and ice cream.

When they finished a song, my friend and I clapped loudly. To our dismay, there was hardly any other applause. It seemed like we were the only two people there who appreciated Cajun music.

In any other venue, I’m sure, or I sincerely hope, this music would be thoroughly appreciated.

I have been to restaurants in Eastern Canada where Cajun music was played, and the dance floor was so packed one didn’t have to move at all, the crowd moved you.

I felt so sad for the band yet so grateful to have been there. It was a tremendous gift and made my decade. Awesome food for my soul.

Thank you, Mojo Zydeco. I hope you weren’t discouraged by the disgraceful lack of appreciation from the rest of the audience.

I guess there is no hurry when you are going to the morgue.a Ronald Clough

Several vehicles were involved in crashes on Golden Ears Bridge Thursday, including a motorcycle changing lanes.

No rush to your final destination Editor: The words “Oh my God, he’s going for it”, blurted out of my mouth as I saw what was unfolding before my eyes.

It was 7:30 a.m on a beautiful clear day last Thursday. I was northbound in the centre lane of the six-lane Golden Ears Bridge, doddling along at the speed limit. The view of the Fraser River far below and the mountains looming ahead, not yet touched by snow, almost distracted me.

To my left, a white pickup truck slowly passed me, then pulled in front of me. No big deal or reason for concern.

The throaty growl of a motorcycle on my left made me check out what type of bike was following the truck so close. As the truck made room for the bike to go by, the bike saw the opening and cranked on the throttle.

As I watched him pulling away, I made the mental judgmental note, “idiot,” of a fellow motorcyclist.

Pulling away rapidly, the rider saw an opening between the white pickup and a small, red SUV in the centre lane and went for it. At this point my jaw dropped as I uttered the preceding prophetic words.

He didn’t make it.

The bike’s front wheel hit the right rear of the SUV. The car started to go into a spin, while the bike went into a high-speed wobble and launched the rider horizontally.

Impacting the concrete road at a high rate of speed, the rider bounced and rolled across the curb lane like a rag doll caught in a whirlwind and slammed into the

concrete where the road and the guardrail meet.

The bike came to rest three lanes over, crushed beyond recognition between the SUV and the concrete median.

In the few seconds this took place, I was multi-tasking, reaching for my cell and trying to avoid being hit myself.

The rider was spread-eagle on the road, his legs at an awkward angle. His jacket and pants were torn into ragged bits and both his shoes were missing; one was beside him, while the other one was three lanes over.

In less than a minute, the fire truck was attending and crews started to work on him. He was still alive!

The medics cut open his pants to check the damage to his body but left his helmet on. The flesh beneath his pants was red and black and cooked from the friction.

He wasn’t wearing any boots or body armour.

Quickly and efficiently, the motorcyclist was stabilized, put on the stretcher and whisked away in the ambulance.

I hope he makes it.

As I drove away, I thought back to last month and to the silver V Rod spread all over the road coming into Deadwood South Dakota at the Black Hills Motorcycle Rally. A white van passed us with its red and blue lights flashing, but no siren. I guess there is no hurry when you are going to the morgue.

Ronald Clough, Surrey (Editor’s note: The motorcyclist – a 23-year-old Surrey man – suffered non-life-threatening injuries.)

Three eastbound Highway 1 lanes are to open across the Port Mann Bridge.

Half-price tolling for Port Mann unveiled Jeff Nagel Black Press

Drivers crossing the new Port Mann Bridge will pay $1.50 a trip – half the price previously announced – as an introductory toll and the provincial government is dangling more incentives to encourage users to sign up early.

The cut rate applies for the first three months – until the end of February – but those who register for a tolling account by then will be guaranteed the half-price toll for the first year, new Transportation Minister Mary Polak announced Wednesday.

And those who sign up by before Nov. 30 also get a $30 credit, equivalent to 20 free crossings.

A further 25 per cent discount previously promised for registered HOV lane users during peak hours will apply on top of the introductory rate, meaning commuters who car pool will pay $1.13 per crossing for the first year.

Frequent bridge users can also opt for an unlimited pass – $75 per month in the first year for standard vehicles that register by Feb. 28.

The introductory discount is being justified on the basis that only eight of 10 lanes of the new bridge will be

operational when it opens in December, as the final two can’t be used through 2013 while the old bridge is being dismantled.

Drivers who register will receive a free windshield decal that acts as a transponder that’s detected by the electronic tolling system.

Provincial officials say more registered accounts set up for automatic monthly payment result in a more efficient tolling system and reduce the number of invoices that have to be mailed to non-registered users who are detected by licence plate cameras.

Lighter trucks or cars pulling trailers will pay $4.50 in the introductory period, instead of $6, and they’ll be offered a $225 unlimited monthly pass.

Motorcyclists will pay $1 at first instead of $1.50 and have the option of a $50 monthly pass.

Drivers who don’t register before March will pay the full tolls, which are set to kick in for all users in December, 2013.

Unregistered drivers who don’t prepay or pay within seven days of crossing will be invoiced and charged a $2.30 processing fee, which will be waived for the first three months.

The Transportation Safety Board released its investigation report into the Feb. 9, 2011 midair collision between two Cessna 150 aircraft that killed two, including 70-year-old Surrey resident Patrick Lobsinger.

Not enough pre-flight preparation, along with the need for extensive training required with formation flying, are the causes of the crash, the TSB report concludes.

The two Cessnas were part of four aircraft flying in a diamond formation over Mission when one of the planes rear-ended the lead Cessna, piloted by 60-year-old Langley resident Donn Hubble, who also died.

During a right turn while in formation, the aircraft on the right lost sight of the leader, said the TSB in its report.

While trying to regain sight of the leader, the aircraft climbed, turned left and rear-ended the lead plane.

The two aircraft briefly joined together and descended out of control, until about 400 feet above the ground where they managed to separate.

The lead plane then broke up and continued to the ground, crashing into Mission’s Nicomen Slough. Lobsinger – a longtime Delta Hospice Society volunteer and former pilot with the Boundary Bay Flying Club – died at the scene; Hubble died at Royal Columbian Hospital.

The other aircraft’s pilot regained control of his plane and landed in a nearby field without engine power. He was uninjured.

“Formation flying is a challenging activity requiring high levels of skill and discipline,” said Bill Yearwood, manager of air investigation operations for the TSB. “Without appropriate training and thorough pre-flight briefings, there is an increased risk of in-flight collisions, and these collisions often cause fatal accidents.”

Training is required for formation flying during events such as air shows. However, for casual formation flight, the only requirement is a pre-arrangement between pilots.

Ramona Kaptyn recalls fundraising run in Vietnam

Staff Reporter

hat Ramona Kaptyn remembers most about her first Terry Fox Run in Vietnam was the heat.

“Temperatures went over 35 degrees Celsius that day and the humidity made it feel much worse,” said the Rotary Club of White Rock member, of the 2002 run she helped organize.

“I was dripping with sweat, much to the amusement of many of my students, who felt it was just another sunny September day.”

Kaptyn, a former journalist-turnedteacher-turned-hotel manager, was living in Vietnam at the time, teaching hotel management and tourism at Hanoi Open University, when the idea of hosting a Terry Fox ❝Terry Fox was just such Run was first broached to her by a fellow Canadian, a tremendous who – like Kaptyn – was Canadian.❞ also serving on the board Ramona Kaptyn of the Canada-Vietnam Business Association.

Kaptyn said her students, and other Hanoi residents she’d met, had something of an idea of who Terry Fox was, and many had heard something about a run in his honour, but that was the extent of their knowledge of Fox, who embarked on his famous cross-Canada run in 1980, ending after 143 days when his cancer spread.

“They knew of him, but the idea of raising money for something through a walk or a run was a fairly new concept for them,” Kaptyn explained. “They thought we were something to do with the government.”

Terry Fox Runs had been staged in Vietnam before, in Ho Chi Minh City – more than 1,700 km south of Hanoi. But the Hanoi event went well, despite the heat and another problem Kaptyn and organizers hadn’t anticipated – littering.

The CVBA had talked a local bottledwater company into donating cases of water for participants, but most runners threw the

“It was customary in Vietnam to litter at that time because it provided work for the street cleaners who came around afterward,” Kaptyn said. “‘If we don’t throw things on the street,’ explained my students, ‘there will be no

Proceeds from the first event went towards cancer treatment centres in Hanoi, and in later runs – Kaptyn lived there nearly three years – the money went to cancer research.

The Terry Fox Run continues in Hanoi, which is something Kaptyn takes pride in.

“It’s left a legacy there in Hanoi, so that’s pretty neat,” she said. “Terry Fox was just such a tremendous Canadian, and left such a legacy himself.”

The Terry Fox Run, now in its 32nd year, is now held annually in nearly 30 countries, and includes more than 1.9 million international participants. In Canada, more than 9,000 runs are held each September, and more than $600 million has been raised thus far for cancer research.

Closer to home, the Terry Fox Run, hosted by the Rotary Club of White Rock, will be held on the Peninsula this Sunday, at the South Surrey Athletic Park. Two run/walk distances are offered, either 1.6km or six-km, and the event begins at 9 a.m. (on-site registration at 8 a.m.). Entry is by donation, and its recommended participants collect pledges in advance. The event usually draws between 200 and 250 participants each year, event organizer Van Scofield said.

North of Newton, registration begins at Bear Creek Park (next to the Pavillion, accessed from parking lot off 88 Avenue) at 8 a.m., also beginning at 9 a.m. Participants can choose 10-km, 5-m or 1-km, and on-leash dogs are welcome.

There is no entry fee and no minimum donation for either event.

Battle of best chili won by reigning champs

O’Chillians take home title Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

Six teams battled it out for the title of best chili last week at the fourth annual chili cook-off hosted by the White Rock Rotary Club.

Despite pressure from some fresh faces – including Sabatinos, Jan’s on the Beach and Memphis Blues Barbecue House – White Rock Rotary took the title again, with a little help from their teammates at Jimmy Flynn’s Celtic Snug.

Members of the public and the Rotary dug into the chili – along with buns donated by Cobb’s Bread in South Point and coffee donated by Tribeca Starbucks –

and marked their favourite team on the ballots.

Keeping a low-profile during the event were three secret judges selected by Rotary to help determine the best batch.

“Two – Ray Lavoie and Tracy Harris – were just regular citizens, but the third judge was Yung Hsi, a professional, certified chili judge with 20-plus years of experience,” said Rotary sergeant-at-arms Patrick Hahn.

“This chap sought us out to offer his services and in so many respects opened our eyes to the wide world of professional chili.”

After all the chili had been tasted Saturday, Jan’s on the Beach was given the Judge’s Award, while

The ADDED Touch SINCE 1984

Jimmy Flynn’s O’Chillians took home the People’s Choice Award and the Rotary Spirit Award for the second year in the row.

“It was a really nice, tasty chili Jimmy Flynn’s had. It had a delicate dob of sour cream or it may have been some very light cream cheese on top,” Hahn said.

A special second Rotary Spirit Award went to the Meat the Heat team, comprising Clancy’s Meat and the RCMP, as a way to thank the Mounties for their ongoing support of the event.

Altogether, 227 tasters came out to try the chilis, bringing in $1,350 which the Rotary will put towards a community project, Hahn said.

“YOU AND THE LAW” ACCIDENTS AND REDUCED EARNING CAPACITY

By Janice Mucalov, LL.B. If you’re injured in a car crash, caused by the fault of another, you could suffer many losses. One loss may be work-related – you may be forced to find an easier but lowerpaying job and be unable to earn as much income as before the accident.

Lawyers call this loss “diminished earning capacity.” It’s often part of a compensation claim by personal injury plaintiffs.

But what if your earnings don’t go down after the accident? Can you still win damages for “diminished earning capacity”? After all, you might think that because your income didn’t decrease, your ability to earn hasn’t been diminished. Not true.

A recent BC case illustrates that this approach is too simplistic and can be unfair to the injured person.

Guaranteed Income for as long as you live!

pburns@sutton.com www.paulaburns.ca

FASHION CLEARANCE

The plaintiff (Colleen), 46, was injured in two car accidents (one right after the other). She hurt her neck, shoulder and upper back, resulting in chronic widespread pain later diagnosed as fibromyalgia. Before the accidents, she was a highly energetic and motivated individual. She had a fast-paced job as an executive secretary to the president of a large organization, which she loved and was ideally suited for.

All that changed. Because of her chronic pain – which was only controlled or made endurable by large amounts of pain killers and antiinflammatory medications – she could no longer handle the demands of her job, nor the three-hour (both ways) commute it involved.

Colleen sold her house to move to a smaller home with fewer stairs. Because of her injuries, she also found a new, less demanding job that only involved a 20-minute commute. Having

to switch jobs “was a huge blow” and it “was far less rewarding in terms of job satisfaction,” said the trial judge who initially decided her case. Yet, by happenstance, her new job paid her a better salary, and so she didn’t suffer an immediate loss of earnings.

Still, her lawyers were able to prove that she suffered a reduction in her capacity to earn, a finding upheld on appeal.

The circle of secretarial or administrative positions that she could compete for in future had narrowed because of the limitations imposed by her injuries. In short, she became less marketable as an employee and less capable overall of taking advantage of all employment opportunities that might come her way.

As well, the trial judge concluded that there was a real and substantial possibility that Colleen would have moved up in her organization’s hierarchy to a director position had she been able to stay there – at an increased salary and with improved health and pension benefits. (This particular finding was over-turned on appeal as speculative only, reducing her compensation award somewhat.)

And there was a real possibility that because of her injuries (which had plateaued or possibly could even worsen), her working career would likely end earlier than it would have if the accident hadn’t occurred.

Overall, she proved that she had suffered a loss in her capacity to earn future income, as confirmed by the appeal court. The BC Court of Appeal ultimately awarded Colleen $275,000 for diminished earning capacity.

If you’re injured in an accident, consult your lawyer. He or she can help you receive the fair compensation that you may be entitled to receive.

Semi House set to host fair Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

Don’t be fooled by the name.

The Semiahmoo House Society’s Women’s Fair isn’t just for those with the XX chromosome.

While there will be many things that will be of interest to the fairer gender, organizer and Semiahmoo House program coordinator Sylvia Hoeree says the fundraising event will be sure to please people of all ages and sex. “It’s definitely a family-friendly event. Children under 12 receive free admission and everyone else only pays a loonie,� she said. “After I printed the flyers, I was a bit worried people may think it’s a women-only event, but it’s not.

All are welcome.�

The fair will feature a selection of items from home-based businesses – including handmade beauty products, jewelry and books.

Proceeds from table rentals and admission will go towards purchasing audio-video equipment for Semiahmoo Houses’ film focus group which wants to make awareness videos about acquired brain injuries. “We are focused on empowering the people we support to expand their hopes and dreams and to fulfill them. So we wanted to help provide all we can,� Hoeree said, noting she is aiming for

$2,000 for the equipment. “As soon as we’re all organized, the guys are going to go ahead and build a green screen. “Our team is incredibly resourceful.�

Hoeree came up with the idea to organize a fair to raise the funds after accompanying a close friend to craft fairs. “I thought, what a great opportunity for people with homebased business to show their wares while raising awareness for acquired brain injuries,� she said.

Hoeree also noted that the Semiahmoo House table will include paintings for sale by the people in the acquired brain injury programs, as well as soaps and scents by the people who use the Semiahmoo Employment Training services.

The fair will be held Sept. 22 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 15306 24 Ave., and will include a concession stand, tarot card readings and chair massages.

lifestyles Conservation efforts must be made for declining population

Life-cycle approach to bird-migration science W e live on a planet highly influenced by cycles.

Life on earth basks in the sun’s heat and light and responds to the rhythm of longduration solar and sun spot cycles.

The earth spins and tilts on its axis, and the axis itself moves in cycles through space.

We define Anne Murray our waking and sleeping pattern on the earth’s 24-hour rotation.

The phases of the moon can affect the timing of animals giving birth and fish migrating up a river. Major variations in precipitation can result in droughts, fire, and flood, transform vegetation and set wildlife on the move.

All these natural fluctuations guide life on earth, and to understand how the world works and the impacts of a changing climate, we need to know how they interact.

This is a huge challenge for scientists.

Birds are good ecological indicators: abundant, ubiquitous and relatively easy to observe. They

Nearly 80 per cent of Canada’s birds are migratory. The northern boreal forest is the nursery of millions of North America’s birds and their collective life cycles encompass the full range of latitudes and virtually every climate zone.

The fact that many bird species are in trouble – and their numbers

declining – should be a warning to us.

At the recent fifth North American Ornithological Conference in Vancouver, the 1,500 international scientists were challenged to answer the question of why so many migratory birds are declining by taking a wholelife-cycle perspective.

The Smithsonian Institute’s Peter Marra stressed the need to make the connection from breeding

areas to tropical wintering grounds, and all the stopovers between.

According to Ian Davidson of Nature Canada, the longer the migration journey, the sharper the species decline.

To stop these trends, research and conservation efforts must flow all the way down the flyway.

The Fraser delta is a critical bird migration stopover between Alaska and South America. Not only do British Columbians have

an enormous responsibility to protect its integrity and that of the international birds that use local habitats, but we should also consider those other countries that rely on the flyway and help them in their conservation efforts.

A sister site, Panama Bay, is currently under threat from coastal development that will destroy important mangrove swamps.

Concerned people can help by signing the petition on the Friends of Semiahmoo Bay website: www. birdsonthebay.ca What goes around comes around.

news Car-share services slow to reach suburbs

Shared-wheels concept still stuck in first gear Black Press

Density, transit a must While Modo and for-profit services Zipcar and Car2Go might seem a natural fit in neighbourhoods with less frequent bus service, observers say the opposite is true.

Good transit and dense, walkable neighbourhoods are essential because those are areas where more residents are apt to give up their own wheels and opt to rent for just occasional trips.

Users save the cost of owning, maintaining and insuring a vehicle they might rarely use and instead typically pay about $13 an hour, with gas and parking costs included.

They can rent the vehicle that suits their trip – car, minivan, SUV or truck – rather than being limited to the one they own.

Mike Soron, a Chinatown resident and executive director of the non-profit Sustainable SFU, uses car-sharing services to get around.

He and his partner have memberships in both Zipcar and Car2Go so they can walk up to either service’s unreserved car, scan in and drive away.

“Having access to trucks and bigger cars is just fantastic,” Soron said. “We have zero vehicles but we have all these vehicles to choose from.”

While the City of Vancouver has bloomed as a mecca for carsharing – three services rent out more than 700 vehicles to users who typically forgo owning their own car – the concept has been much slower to roll into Metro Vancouver’s more car-dependent suburbs.

Modo, Vancouver’s original carshare co-op, just added its third and fourth cars based in Surrey – both at the new Quattro housing project and they were both paid for by the developer.

The other two are at nearby Surrey SkyTrain stations and are Modo’s only four car-share vehicles offered south of the Fraser so far.

Another Modo minivan has recently been added at the River Market in New Westminster, its fifth shared vehicle in that city.

But the bulk of the co-op’s 275 vehicles are in Vancouver proper, with a small smattering in North Vancouver and in Burnaby near SkyTrain stations.

Even the Canada Line hasn’t yet brought Modo into Richmond, although the co-op aims to be there soon.

Marketing director Bernice Paul said car-share vehicles need to be authorized to use on-street parking and a bylaw is expected to come to Richmond council this fall. She said Modo will also look to Port Moody and Coquitlam once SkyTrain arrives with the Evergreen Line.

Right, new dad Ernst Schneider is a Metro Vancouver user of the Modo car-sharing co-op.

He sees plenty of potential for suburban growth, particularly in corridors where transit is slated to improve.

Transportation blogger Stephen Rees, who lives in Richmond, said he wishes Car2Go would expand.

Unlike Modo and Zipcar vehicles – which must be returned to their home parking stall – Car2Go’s two-seater Smart cars can be taken on one-way trips and left on any residential street, provided it’s north of 49th Avenue and west of Renfrew in Vancouver.

Car2Go also offers a few cars at Kwantlen Polytechnic University campuses in Richmond, Surrey and Cloverdale, and a spokesperson said the service may consider extending that concept further.

A new alternative?

Clark Williams-Derry, research director at the Seattle-based Sightline Institute, said the traditional car-share outlets are limited in their ability to expand rapidly.

But he’s a big proponent of an emerging new option, called peerto-peer car sharing.

Under that model, people rent out their vehicles to people they connect with through a service like San Francisco-based Getaround, which handles the transaction and provides insurance for a 40 per cent commission.

“The suburbs are perfect for this kind of thing,” Williams-Derry said, adding most residents need their car but may not use it for long stretches of time.

Getaround claims its owner members earn an average of $350

a month. Users connect through Facebook and owners can limit who they rent to – perhaps only Facebook friends or people they know through church.

“As you get more comfortable with it or want to use it as a second source of income, you can open it up to more people,” Williams-Derry said.

Owners set their own prices and a rating system shows who has a trustworthy track record of past rentals. Getaround’s iPhone app remotely unlocks a car once it’s rented.

Getaround co-founder Jessica Scorpio said Metro Vancouver is “high on our list” of possible expansion areas but said there are no specific plans yet.

“We’d love to bring Getaround to Canada,” said the Ottawa native.

The service’s insurance coverage system would need ICBC’s approval so members are shielded from all liability.

Williams-Derry calls peerto-peer car-sharing a potential game-changer that could rapidly pump up the number of rentable vehicles in places like Surrey and Langley.

Fall preparation for your garden can ensure a great result for the spring.

Prepare your garden for the cooler seasons As the weather begins to cool down for the fall season, there is a bit of work that is required to keep your lawn and garden in good shape.

Kerry Vanderzalm of Art Knapp Plantland on King George Boulevard said one of the main things to start with is slowing and preventing the growth of moss on your lawn.

“By liming your lawn, you bring up the pH and the moss will not grow as fast. An application of a fall lawn fertilizer will green up lawns and make them stronger for the cold, wet weather to

come,” he said.

For those who wish to keep their vegetable and flower beds in good condition, it may be time to dig some manure and compost in them.

And while money doesn’t grow on trees, good garden compost does.

“Fallen leaves are a great source of garden compost. Choose a corner of your yard and create a compost box, or simply a compost pile, if you have the room,” Vanderzalm said. “Turn it a few times throughout the year and voilà! see page A31

FALL HOME & GARDEN

Time to plant for the spring from page A30

You will have an amazing soil builder rich in nutrients.�

For flowers and other plants, for the most part, Vanderzalm finds too many precautions don’t have to be made in preparation for the winter, unless the plants are not hardy for the area – like those which grow in containers.

But it’s not all preservation during the colder months, Vanderzalm explains.

Many specialty flowers are available for fall planting, including winter pansies. “They are so named because they bloom in the latter part of the year,� he said. “Others include flowering kale, mums and heathers.�

And of course, now is the perfect time to plant fall bulbs. Planted for the fall so they bloom up for the spring, for Vanderzalm and his staff, this is one of the most exciting parts of the change in seasons. “Every year we open each case of bulbs with the eagerness of a child on Christmas morning. You would think after years of seeing them come in we would get complacent, but each year we delight in seeing all the fun varieties of daffodils and tulips and plenty more,� he said.

The fall bulbs only require a bit of digging and planting in order to get the bright and beautiful return in spring.

Vanderzalm advises people to purchase their bulbs quickly – as some tend to run out – and store them in a cool, dry location until October when they should be planted. “They will root in the warm soil nicely before Old Man Winter arrives and will

Plant bulbs now for spring-time blooming.

be in good shape for spring blooming,� he said. “This year, extend beyond the standard daffodils or tulips and try flowering bulbs like snowdrops and glory-of-the-snow. “It is probably the least amount of work for the greatest reward.�

Finally, after planting and preserving, why not enjoy the view of your garden from a hot tub? Perfect for the fall and winter, a hot tub can be a great place to unwind, Vanderzalm said. “Without a doubt, the best way to enjoy your yard through the winter is in a hot tub,� he said. “Well-made, modern hot tubs are far more energy efficient than in years gone by.�

Other suggestions include a few wellplaced lanterns or low-voltage garden lights to extend garden enjoyment well into the darker days ahead.

FALL HOME & GARDEN

out and changing bathroom towels, bed throws, sofa cushions and area rugs.

“There really are no boundaries to seasonal decorating, so we have customers who make subtle changes and are very happy and others who are more extravagant and want to make a statement with their decorating by changing florals, door wreaths and even kitchen dishes and wall art,” she said.

For Joan Walker, the upcoming season’s trends can be summed up in four words: “Colours, prints, patterns and textures,” she said.

The Curtain Call owner says simple changes can make a big difference, from the colours of your pillows, a fresh coat of paint and even the colours on bedding.

“It’s all about warming up the home for fall and get it ready for nesting in,” she said. “I’m seeing the trends go towards more patterned, bright and vibrant colours. It’s more energy and less monochromatic, tone on tone.”

Walker suggestions for those who wish to bring a fall-theme into their home through painting include pumpkin oranges, berry colours, such as a rich raspberry and spice colours, like peppercorn.

“You still have your spa blues, mixed with the browns and the grays, but you can spice up the grays and monotone colours with silvers and raspberries,” she said.

Pam at Hudson Madison suggests

starting with your family room or kitchen.

“Add that platter of apples on your counter, or gourds and pumpkins.

Maybe some fall flowers like mums, and while taking your walk cut down some tree branches to make a tall dramatic arrangement for your island or front entrance.”

Other simple adjustments include fall-coloured pillows or patterned throws. And of course, the sense of smell is just as important as sight.

“Do not forget to add some new scents around your home like apple and pumpkin spices,” Pam said.

The season’s colour trend picks up on the rich colours seen in nature, Pam noted.

“Warm reds, burnt oranges, deep plums, olives and golden yellows.

They work well with the popular neutral gray as well as the traditional browns,” she said.

Briar Codesmith of Housewarming Designs said that fall style doesn’t have to be the traditional browns and oranges.

“A seasonal look can start with any colour you love and are comfortable with,” she said.

“Romance your home with warm pinks and burgundy berries built around neutral basics, such as a grey vase.”

When it comes to splurging on bigticket items, Codesmith said to stick with neutrals and classic permanent pieces, then build upon them.

Pumpkins make a simple and elegant centrepiece for a fall dinner party or Thanksgiving.

Celebrating the season with an autumn party With summer barbecues behind us and a few more weeks until holiday parties begin, there’s a big gap in opportunities to get together with friends and enjoy the warmth of fall, aside from Thanksgiving.

Of course, there is a simple solution for that: hosting an autumn-inspired party. Or for those who are hosting a Thanksgiving dinner, use autumn to inspire you.

Ingrid Kandal of Poshshop notes that just like any party, it’s important to start with the audience and the number or guests you plan to have

and build on details from there – like centrepieces.

“If you’re having a large group, then of course, a significant centrepiece with larger branches and autumn florals, such as sunflowers or the lovely burnt-coloured hydrangeas are perfect,” she said.

For those who have chandeliers, she suggests carefully intertwining small autumn artificial berries or vines within it, but make sure it’s not too heavy.

If hosting a smaller group, trying a

pedestal vase with some leaves and gourds or a candle.

A personal favourite the home decor expert carries at her store is mini velvet pumpkins with real pumpkin stems placed on each guest’s plate for a fall supper.

Fall leaves change colour due to lack of light, so Ingrid suggests bringing in some light and fun into the house for Halloween using tiny, orange lights. “They come in strands of 35 and can easily go on the autumn-inspired mini twig trees we stock, in a vase, or around anything you want to add a fun, warm hint of fall. We have customers who buy them for Thanksgiving and wind them through branches on the mantle, or even just place them in a basket with a few pinecones to look amazing.�

For Kandal, nothing says warmth, family and “getting back to nature� more than fall. “It’s a time to reunite with those we haven’t seen and to reconnect with our roots. Warmth brought into your home through colour helps to paint the background to those important times in our lives,� she said.

Pam from Hudson Madison suggests taking pumpkins and creating a centrepiece based off of fall’s favourite vegetable. “A new centerpiece could be that pumpkin filled with flowers or floating candles. Spray the pumpkin in your color scheme of tomato red

or purple to think outside the box,� she said. “The metallics are always a favorite too.�

For Briar Codesmith, taking a staple piece, like a great bowl, and transforming it each season in a new centrepiece – low enough to encourage conversation – is always a great bet. “One fall, I once went to six different grocery stores to get enough white gourds to fill a wooden bowl,� she said. “It was inexpensive and looked perfect for fall with the shades and tones of white and great texture.�

She also notes that fall-style isn’t all about what you can see. “It’s all about the five senses – sight, touch, smell, taste and sound,� she said. “Envelope your home in the fall and it brings back warm family memories.�

Surrey’s Jamie McGarva wins big at national competition

CALL TODAY FOR AN APPOINTMENT!

Firefighter breaks world record story that his neighbour redid their lawn, so Jamie went out the next day and redid his lawn and garden,” said Rickards.

“Because he has to have the nicest lawn in the neighbourhood. He’s that guy.”

Rickards said that four years ago McGarva was running a middle-of-the-road time of 1:35 and decided to really dedicate himself to training harder and dieting like an athlete. That hard work has paid off.

“He was back in the gym at 6 a.m. yesterday morning,” said Rickards.

“And he probably worked out again last night.”

The team finished second out of 26 teams in Canada, behind perennial powerhouse Kamloops, who are the four-time National champions and twotime World champions.

Adrian MacNair Black Press

Delta’s fire department can now boast the top firefighter in Canada.

Jamie McGarva, 38, from Surrey, shattered a world record while finishing first out of 134 firefighters competing at the National Scott FireFit Championships in Baie-Comeau, Que. on Sept. 1 and 2.

McGarva’s time of 1:13.53 knocked more than two seconds off the previous record of 1:15.9. He finished second to Kamloops firefighter Graham MacKenzie last year, who was fourth this time around.

Teammate Ryan Rickards, 36, from Langley, who finished in 27th place, said it’s in McGarva’s nature to be the best at whatever he does.

“His wife was telling me a

“Across Canada, a small little department like us, that’s great,” said Rickards.

Teammate Reid Taylor, 26, from Mission, said the experience was fun, since he’d never been east of Alberta before.

Taylor finished with a time of 1:27.16 with a two-second penalty on the stairs, placing him 19th in Canada. He was disappointed with his performance because he was two seconds faster at the training course in Delta.

“I wasn’t happy with it, but you’ve got to learn to lose before you can win,” he said.

“It was a hard pill to swallow for about a week, but I’m over it now.”

Both Rickards and Taylor were penalized two seconds for not touching every stair, without which the team would

have finished less than a second behind Kamloops.

“We’re both going so fast, neither of us believe we missed a stair but it’s your word against the referee,” said Rickards.

The fourth member of the team, 48-year-old Mark Millward from Vancouver, finished at 1:36.86, third in the over-45 category.

The reigning champion in the category, Millward stumbled and fell two feet from the finish line.

The team now has 10 weeks to train for the World Championships Nov. 13-18 in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Taylor is determined to train even harder to try and win a world title.

“It’s all about number two on the team, right? Jamie’s just above and beyond.”

CHANGES TO INCAPACITY PLANNING IN BC On September 1, 2011, BC changed the laws dealing with Incapacity Planning. These changes will directly impact people who are incapable of making their own Ànancial, legal or medical decisions.

Generally, Enduring Power of Attorneys made before September 1, 2011 are still valid and will be accepted. After this date, the changes in the law will affect Enduring Power of Attorneys in areas such as: who can be appointed as an attorney, how the Power of Attorney document must be signed, compensation for the attorney, and powers of the attorney in the areas of Ànancial and legal matters.

The most substantial changes have been made to medical decision making. If a health care provider determines that a patient is incapable of making an informed medical decision and a named representative cannot be located, the health care provider can choose a person from a list of people to act as a “temporary substitute decision maker” to make the medical decision for the patient.

Also, there is now a way to provide a binding and valid consent or refusal for medical treatment without the appointment of a representative. The “Advanced Directive” can be binding upon your representatives and health care providers.

For more detailed explanations of the changes to the Incapacity Planning law in BC, please consult with your lawyer.

Transit officers can now request identification from violators.

Officers couldn’t demand ID, arrest criminals

TransLink loophole closed by province Jeff Nagel Black Press

A promised tough crackdown on TransLink fare evaders got off to a shaky start last week when some Transit Police officers refused to issue tickets because they hadn’t been empowered to demand identification from violators.

The problem was an oversight in the legislation passed this spring that gave TransLink new ticket enforcement powers.

The provincial government quickly moved to plug the loophole through a cabinet order Friday and all officers were expected to be issuing tickets as intended by Monday afternoon.

Spokesperson Anne Drennan said most officers did continue to ticket fare evaders – provided they voluntarily identified themselves – but a minority weren’t comfortable with the process and were put on other duties, such as high-visibility fare checks at entrances to fare-paid zones.

“It wasn’t a work-to-rule situation at all,” Drennan said. “They felt strongly about it. But they were out there working and doing everything they could through a different approach.”

In the past, fare evaders who refused to identify themselves when caught could be arrested for obstruction, but the new rules initially failed to include the power to demand ID. To Transit Police, the issue was much bigger than just busting fare cheaters.

Officers catch about 500 accused criminals each year who are wanted by other jurisdictions on arrest warrants – everything from breach of probation to armed robbery – by conducting fare checks and then running violators’ names through police databases.

But without an ability to demand names and arrest those who don’t comply, a huge hole opened in what had been a useful anti-crime net.

“It impaired our ability to do that almost completely,” Drennan said.

Without the quick revision of the regulation, officers would have had to merely escort violators off TransLink property, knowing that some might be dangerous criminals they would normally bring to justice.

The rule change required Transit Police officers use new procedures in demanding fare evaders identify themselves and training is being conducted at the start of each new shift.

Fare evasion fines still start at $173 but they will now climb to $213 after six months and $273 if unpaid after a year.

ICBC will now refuse to issue or renew licences or insurance for violators who don’t pay and TransLink will also have other options, such as sending unpaid fines to a collection agency.

In past years, most fare evaders never paid their tickets because there was no enforcement mechanism with teeth.

Surrey’s street trees need your help!

Even though it’s back-to-school time the dry weather continues, which means the street trees in front of your house need water. As you know this summer was full of beautiful, hot weather with very little rain; it was wonderful for us, but it left Surrey’s trees too thirsty. In fact, until it rains for a prolonged period of time, the trees need to be watered.

Here’s what you can do to help your neighbourhood street trees: 1. Water twice a week.

2. Water thoroughly at the base of the trees for a minimum of 15 minutes.

3. Water during the cooler parts of the day (early morning and dusk).

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.

Please take a few minutes out of your week to water the trees in front of your home – as the drought continues, trees are beginning to die.

For more information about street trees, please call 604.501.5050 For more information about private property trees please call 604.591.4675

Van Buynder’s directive under the Jeff Nagel Black Press

Public Health Act to correct the misinformation in a previously published advertisement, which showed oil of oregano alongside a broken syringe and read: “The natural way to help combat whooping cough... It’s nice to know vaccines aren’t the only choice to combat this disease.”

Fraser Health has experienced a significant whooping cough outbreak over the past year and public health officials say some parents’ unfounded opposition to vaccine use can worsen the spread.

In his letter to Enerex, Van Buynder said the firm created a health hazard because the ad was

likely to discourage vaccination and hamper efforts to fight the outbreak, putting small children at risk of hospitalization or even death.

Van Buynder said many natural products and behaviours can enhance a person’s ability to fight and resist infections and disease, including eating well and getting enough sleep and exercise, but said they can’t prevent disease transmission.

The firm said it did not intend to infer oil of oregano is as effective as vaccination against whooping cough, but maintained the product has “antibacterial and antiviral

properties” and characterized the incident as a “misunderstanding.”

Van Buynder, his counterpart at Vancouver Coastal Health and B.C.’s provincial health officer have also urged Health Canada to investigate the incident as a potential violation of federal legislation governing health advertising.

As of Sept. 5, there have been 328 confirmed and suspected cases of whooping cough in the Fraser Health region since the outbreak began in the Hope-Chilliwack area last December.

There were 23 new cases in the last four weeks and there have been no fatalities to date.

Surrey is the next city in the crosshairs of activists who want to ban shark fin soup from all of Metro Vancouver’s Chinese restaurants to reduce fishing pressure on threatened sharks.

Vancouver Animal Defence League spokesman Anthony Marr said his group will address council in Surrey on Monday and in Langley City Monday.

Activists have focused on Vancouver, Richmond and Burnaby – home to most Chinese seafood restaurants that use shark fin – and Marr said he believes those councils are close to agreeing on a co-ordinated ban to take effect in six months.

A simultaneous regional ban would ensure shark-serving restaurants and the clientele that want them don’t just shift to unregulated cities, he said.

“My prediction is it’s going to work,” Marr said. “The municipalities are just coming on board one after another.”

He said Surrey, Langley and Maple Ridge all invited him to

sharks a year are dying for the fin trade and perhaps a third of them may be endangered.

David Chung, president of the the B.C. Asian Restaurant and Café Owners Association and owner of a Richmond restaurant that sells shark fin, has said he would only comply with a federal ban, if Ottawa can justify a halt to the trade.

Marr isn’t just relying on the council-by-council approach in the Lower Mainland.

He has also asked all B.C. cities to support a shark fin ban resolution that is to be voted on at the end of this month at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Victoria.

“We’ve heard back from quite a few of them and they are all in support of this ban,” he said, adding a successful resolution would put pressure on the province to ban shark fin sales across B.C. Ban advocates say slow-toreproduce sharks could be wiped out by the fin trade and the loss of the apex predator would play havoc with the food chain, destabilizing other fisheries.

make presentations – Marr didn’t approach them – so he’s optimistic those cities will also enact bans.

Surrey has a “fairly significant” Chinese population and has Chinese seafood restaurants that serve shark fin, he said.

Coquitlam, Port Moody and North Vancouver City are among the Metro councils that have previously committed to ban shark fin sales in their cities, enforced with either fines or revocation of business licences.

Richmond is a key battleground and Chinese restaurant owners there have resisted a ban.

Activists last month confronted one outlet demanding fin samples to test to determine if the fins came from endangered shark species. The owner refused to co-operate.

“Richmond is the sticky one because of the over 50 per cent Chinese population there,” Marr said, but he characterized opponents of a ban as a small minority and said younger Chinese back reform.

Housekeeping for Homeowners.

Like most British Columbians, your home is likely your most precious investment, but keeping it protected with simple home maintenance often falls behind a busy lifestyle and other priorities. Yet basic home maintenance does not require a lot of specialized skills or know-how, is very cost effective and an excellent approach to protection against an unexpected crisis and costs.

Here we share some important tips to keep your home and family safe. t Prevent the possibility of a fire hazard by keeping the dryer vent clean. Clean the lint filter every time you run your dryer and once a year slide the vent out and remove any lint build up. t Run an energy efficient furnace by replacing filters at least every three months, especially for proper operation over winter. Dirty filters block airflow, lowering air quality and making it potentially dangerous to your family’s health. They also cause furnaces to work overtime, increasing energy bills and eventually to overheat, burn out and be replaced. t Prevent mold by monitoring your home for condensation.

Too much moisture indoors eventually poses a health risk, and left untreated will rot woodwork. Examine your windows, checking for cracks or breaks in the seals that can easily be fixed.

HOME INSURANCE WITH

LORI TAYLOR

t Guard against water damage by looking for signs of dripping and corrosion on exposed pipes around toilets, sinks and appliances. Leaking fixtures can often be fixed with simple replacement parts like O-rings, cartridges or flappers for leaky toilets.

Leaks are easy to miss, but early repair avoids costly water damage. t Make sure your gutters are clean and water run-off is unobstructed. At least once a year physically remove debris and build-up from your gutters and ensure your downpipes are clear. Blocked gutters and pipes can force water to back up and soak into the roof, walls, and even the foundation.

Basic upkeep of your home protects your investment and safeguards your family. And it’s easy enough to do yourself with an idea of what to look for and why. If you want to learn more about BCAA Home Insurance and how you can protect your home and valuables, contact a BCAA Insurance Specialist who will be happy to assist you.

arts & entertainment …on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Annual event raises more than $130,000

Simmons siblings shine at Mayor’s Ball A record crowd packed the Mayor’s Charity Ball in Guildford on Friday night to raise funds for charity.

Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts’ office estimates $130,000-$140,000 was raised for the Surrey Firefighters’ Charitable Society at the Monte Carlothemed gala, held at the 104 Avenue Centre.

The society raises funds for several initiatives including, relief from poverty, medical research and community programs helping kids to stay in school.

Funds from this year’s event are also benefitting Sophie’s Place.

Located within the Centre for Child Development building in Surrey, Sophie’s Place provides physically, mentally and sexually abused children up to the age of 18 years with professional, compassionate

and nurturing service from doctors, police and counsellors – all under one roof.

The facility’s namesake – Sophie Tweed-Simmons, daughter of actress Shannon Tweed and KISS frontman Gene Simmons – became involved in Sophie’s Place after a meeting with Watts.

Siblings Sophie and Nick Tweed-Simmons were the headline performers at the mayor’s gala, while several auctions drew large funds for the firefighters’ society, including a luxury trip to Monte Carlo and two dinners with mayor and council which went for $16,000 apiece.

“It’s really, really cool,” said Luke in a conference call from Nashville. “We’ve not been familiar with that in the past, and it’s really honouring that other people would let us record their songs.”

“When we were first pitched the songs it was early winter,” Sam added. “It was like early Christmas presents to have all these songs to audition with our producer Tom Hambridge.”

They’ve settled in well since moving to Nashville, after having some good initial showcase experiences there, they said.

They cut their teeth on rock and pop and learned a lot from the blues.

But Sam and Luke – the U.S.-based act who spent their formative years in White Rock – feel they’ve really hit their stride since they moved to Nashville and realigned themselves as country-rock artists.

The two Remedios brothers, Sam, 21, and Luke, 18, are releasing a new five-song EP, Helpless, next Monday on iTunes.

And although they’re rapidly becoming seasoned performers in Music City, they’re still glad their Semiahmoo Peninsula fan base remembers them – and, they hasten to add, they haven’t forgotten their earliest supporters either.

Their strong, clean vocal harmonies, solos and guitar licks clearly suit an upbeat country sound, but they prove they’ve still retained a rocking edge with such new songs as Burning.

Helpless includes two of the brothers’ own compositions – the title tune and Smart Enough To Stay – plus three that were pitched to them by some of Nashville’s biggest hit-makers.

And that’s a new experience for the brothers, both of whom attended White Rock Elementary and graduated from Earl

“We’ve been here 13 months now and we’ve played over 120 shows,” said Luke.

“It’s averaged out to something like three or four shows a week,” said Sam, who adds it has been an education playing with highcalibre Nashville session players.

“It’s been a fantastic experience – we’ve grown a lot.”

When they first hit town, Luke noted, they were playing a lot of open-mic situations, where they would be lucky to wedge a short set late in the evening.

“Now, people are inviting us to play shows – we’re actually turning down shows,” Sam said.

“We’ve got some great things on the horizon that we can’t talk about yet,” said Luke.

In the meantime, they’re both enthused about a new campaign of school concerts they’re about to launch in Nashville, in which they have been commissioned to perform for students as a reward for fundraising efforts on behalf of local food banks.

They still retain strong ties with White Rock and South Surrey fans, they said.

Their fan base also seems to have survived their increasingly country orientation, they said.

“The feedback seems to be all positive,” said Luke.

arts & entertainment Three Pound Cloud to perform at Sunflower Organic Café

(SPX :PVS 0XO 'SFTI "JS

Cloudy night at the Beach Alex Browne Arts Reporter

Take a fondness for eccentric retro-style art and design, add a dash of wonder and whimsy a la Lewis Carroll, blend in beautifully-crafted original songs and covers that share the same melodic, often wistful, quality, and mix with the arresting musical talents of vocalist/lyricist Dolly Sparklemittens (aka Dolly Fraser) and keyboardist/ guitarist/songwriter Marky Magicfingers (Mark Fraser).

That’s the recipe for Three Pound Cloud, the Cloverdalebased confection that will be served up with the special dinner menu for fortunate ticket holders this Friday at the Sunflower Organic Café in Crescent Beach.

It’s no surprise the show is now officially sold-out, given the cosy confines of the café and the passionate following the duo attracts wherever it plays in the Vancouver area (the Montmartre Café on Main Street has been a frequent venue).

People who first approach Three Pound Cloud with puzzlement (how many acts, after all, are named in honour of the performers’ pet rabbit?) soon fall under a spell cast by Dolly’s warm and sensitive vocals and Mark’s accompaniment, which successfully fuses a rock n’ roll sensibility with classicallyinfluenced piano technique.

Casual listeners have a tendency to become believers Katherine Siemens photo and, shortly thereafter, loyal Three Pound Cloud members Mark and Dolly Fraser, who play ‘Cloudsters’, who wait eagerly Sunflower Organic Café in Crescent Beach in a sold-out show for updates on the next tomorrow night, bring a puppet version of their ‘muse’ to every gig. performances.

â&#x20AC;Śon the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Flag, midget teams win

Titans take two Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

The youngest members of the White RockSouth Surrey Titans football association opened Sunday with a win â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a feat matched later in the day by the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest members.

Week 2 of the Vancouver Mainland Football League schedule meant it was Titans Day at South Surrey Athletic Park Sunday, with all White Rock-South Surrey gridiron squads playing at home.

The flag-division Titans began the festivities with a 19-3 victory over the North Delta Longhorns.

Early in the game, the Titans went up 3-0 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in flag football, touchdowns are worth three points, not six â&#x20AC;&#x201C; on a TD run from Marley Reiffer, and Bud Beliveau doubled the Titansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; score later in the first quarter with a run of his own. Reiffer and Beliveau were, in fact, responsible for all of the White Rock-South Surrey offence in the game.

Reiffer finished the game with three touchdowns, all on rushing attempts, and also caught a 20-yard pass from Beliveau, at quarterback.

Beliveau, meanwhile, ran for three touchdowns himself, and also kicked a convert for the Titans.

On defence, the Titans kept the Longhornsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offence at bay, and was led by Zak and Naji Sallans, Maxwell Chakrabari and Alexander McCrank, among others.

The victory was the second in a row for the flag-division team, which opened the season Sept. 2 with a win over the Richmond Raiders.

sports Nearly 200 take part in Nicomekl Rowing Club’s regatta

Whistler rower takes title Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Nearly 200 rowers in 80 boats dipped their oars into the waters of the Nicomekl River Saturday, at the annual Head of the River Regatta.

The Head of the River trophy – given to the best individual rower or team – was awarded to Whistler Rowing Club’s Maureen Harriman, who competed in the women’s singles event.

The Head of the River title is determined after all results – in all divisions – are weighted by number of rowers, age, gender and boat-type.

In addition to singles competition, the regatta also featured doubles, quads, fours (which differs from quad, as rowers only get one oar each) and eights.

“It was a fantastic day, a great event,” said Nicomekl Rowing Club president Malcolm Fletcher.

Rowers from the Lower Mainland, Whistler and Seattle all took part in the event, which was staged near the one-way bridge in Elgin, with rowers heading toward the mouth of the river near Blackie Spit.

Other notable winners included the Delta Deas’ pairing of Hilary Schaap and Amanda Serek, who were named the top junior (under-18) rowers, while

Before and After School Program

Six targeted for potential provincial participation

for School-aged Children K-7

Surrey skaters shortlisted Rick Kupchuk Black Press

Six Surrey residents are among 28 players named by BC Hockey to the Male Under-16 shortlist.

Players on the list have been identified for potential participation on Team BC at the 2012 Western Canada Under-16 Challenge Cup Nov. 1-14 in Calgary.

On the list are defenceman Parker Wotherspoon and forwards Tyler Soy and Jakob Stukel from the Cloverdale Minor Hockey Association and forwards

Matthew Bradley, Cole Plotnikoff and Jake Fletcher of Semiahmoo Minor Hockey.

Players will be evaluated by the Team BC coaching staff early in the hockey season, with a final roster announced in October.

The Western Canada U16 Challenge cup, presented by the WHL, happens every non-Canada Winter Games year. It is a roundrobin-format tournament consisting of the four western branches: BC Hockey, Hockey Alberta, Saskatchewan Hockey Association

and Hockey Manitoba.

“The Under-16 Program is designed as an introduction to BC Hockey’s High Performance Program, which exposes players, coaches and officials to shortterm competition,” said a BC Hockey press release.

“The Under-16 Program also acts as a precursor to the BC Hockey High Performance Under-17 Program, which is used to identify and train players and team personnel for provincial, regional and national teams.”

• Morgan Heights Corner is a licenced facility within a short walking distance to Southridge School • Flexible pick-up and drop-off times • Shuttling to/from local schools • Homework and silent reading assistance • Primary Caregiver is trained and certified in Child First Aid & CPR Experience the difference flexibility in child care will make!

Jake Hurst got a pair of Skene’s TD throws, while Peter Kilberg – who has three touchdowns already this season – and Willie Watson, on a 54-yard strike, also caught touchdown passes in the game.

On defence, Travis McDonald led the way with a pair of sacks, one of which resulted in a safety, and Andrew Lawrence also had a fumble recovery.

Alex Lane also returned a fumble for a touchdown, but the play was negated due to a penalty elsewhere on the field.

The Giants’ only point came in the first half, after the team couldn’t score from the Titans’ eight-yard line, and a missed 12-yard field goal sailed through

Finding an oasis of calm in South Surrey

Live naturally at Wills Creek Take advantage of a natural lifestyle at Wills Creek, by EMAAR Canada.

EMAAR is currently selling the seventh and eighth phases of Wills Creek. Eight units were sold last week, demonstrating the popularity of these amazing homes.

With features like custom-designed Shaker-style cabinetry complemented by a handset textured natural stone backsplash and polished granite countertops in the kitchen, there are plenty of things to love at Wills Creek.

The townhomes range from 2,400 to 4,400 square feet, so there is no shortage of space. Many homes include 10-foot vaulted ceilings on the main level, and

tons of natural light pours through the large windows. The ensuite bathroom is gorgeous, with an oversized soaker tub with a marble deck (perfect for holding your glass of wine), a frameless glass walk-in shower with a rain shower head and a handset imported glass tile tub and shower surround.

Buyers will be able to take advantage of all the amenities of Morgan Creek, including schools and shopping. There is also an amenity centre that includes a fitness centre, multi-purpose room, outdoor swimming pool and a hot tub.

Homes start at $539,900. For more information, visit www.willscreek.ca or call 604-542-8971.

glass walk-in shower with modern tile surrounds and accents (depending on your chosen floorplan) are perfect for relaxing in after a long day.

Though fall is now on its way, the air-conditioning that comes standard in every home is also a popular feature, Kwok says. Buyers are able to take possession of their new home immediately, so there will be no waiting for construction to finish.

Atrium is part of the Pier masterplanned community, which includes the Pinnacle International hotel. The area is a former shipyard that now holds a seawalk, 700-foot pier and heritage buildings. Restaurants, transit, leisure activities and shopping at the Lonsdale Quay Market are all in close proximity, making The Pier a great

place for homebuyers looking to be connected to everything. Downtown Vancouver is just 15 minutes away via SeaBus, so the annoyances of a long commute can easily be washed away.

“After coming home from work ... this is a totally different world, because it has the (serenity) of a resort,” says Kwok.

Owners at Atrium will also have access to the amenities at the Pinnacle Hotel, including an 80-foot pool, fitness centre with a yoga studio and the hotel concierge services. The hotel also houses 8,000 square feet of meeting and banquet space.

One-bedroom homes start at $399,900 and two-bedroom homes at $649,900. For more information, visit www.thepier.info or call 604-983-9065.

‘This is a totally different world’

Atrium at Pinnacle Pier showcases quiet elegance

by Kerry Vital

If it’s modern waterfront living you’re yearning for, you need look no farther than Atrium at Pinnacle Pier, located on Vancouver’s North Shore in the Lower Lonsdale area.

“It’s one of the very few waterfront communities on the North Shore” says Grace Kwok of Anson Realty Ltd. “They are buying into a master-planned waterfront community.”

Ranging from 654 to over 3,000 square feet, the homes at Atrium at Pinnacle Pier are spacious and open, with a custom-designed electric fireplace with granite mantle and designer carpeting. The kitchens include chic granite countertops and a porcelain tile floor, complemented

by designer cabinetry and Bosch appliances. The recessed pot lighting and pendant lighting over the breakfast bar combine to illuminate your tasks without being harsh, while the Kohler faucet in the dual stainless-steel undermount sink make cleanup easy.

The nine-foot ceilings and welldesigned floorplans have proven particularly popular, Kwok says. The elegant bathrooms with their own recessed pot lighting and designer cabinetry and vanities with a granite or marble countertop are chic and clean, while the luxurious soaker tub or

It’s one of the very few waterfront communities on the North Shore,” says Grace Kwok of Anson Realty Ltd.

The homes at Atrium at Pinnacle Pier are full of chic details, such as a stainless-steel undermount sink and gorgeous tile backsplash in the kitchen, above. Living right on the waterfront, below, has its perks, including a short commute across to downtown Vancouver on the SeaBus.

You can even shout lines of Shakespeare to your Romeo below. And naturally, a great kitchen and beautiful finishes are a given at Morgan Crossing.

The best part? You’re still just a short walk away from over 60 shops & services in the dynamic Morgan Crossing Village!

Village Life means something a little different to everyone. To some it’s that the coffee barista not only knows your order but your name (and your dog’s name too). To other’s it’s that you can entertain on a whim without having to rely on the contents of your fridge. Or even the fact that your car stays parked more often than not with everything you need right at your doorstep. Whatever Village Life means to you, one thing is for sure – you will live!
