Hospital patients wait days for treatment, a health-care professional warns
Medical staff ‘abandoned’ at Peace Arch Alex Browne Staff Reporter
Patients spent the first two weeks of September waiting as long as four days in Peace Arch Hospital without treatment for serious conditions, a concerned health-care professional charges. Such waits – which affect unassigned patients not registered with family physicians – are due to a shortage of ‘hospitalists’ assigned to treat them, according to the source, who has
worked years in the community. The professional – who spoke to Peace Arch News on condition of not being identified – added that patients have been imperilled and nurses have felt “abandoned” – some reduced to tears – because of the situation. Responding to these concerns, Dr. Dave Williams, medical program director for Fraser Health, said that, while there have been challenges getting a ‘house-doctor’ program off the ground by the scheduled launch date
of Sept. 1, the authority has been working to recruit doctors and put infrastructure in place. All necessary shifts are covered for the rest of the month and into October, he said. The professional, however, said that as of Friday, there were still gaps in the schedule for doctors to treat unassigned patients through October. Patients not registered with family practitioners with admitting privileges amount to as many as 40 per cent of those currently being
admitted to the hospital. As of last week, some had been waiting for days for doctors to administer treatment for such conditions as heart attacks, strokes, bleeding disorders, pneumonia and serious infections. “These are acutely ill patients who are not being treated,” the source said, adding that in “the hospital’s busiest ward, the one with the sickest patients,” there was as much as a five-day wait to see a physician this month. › see page A2
Pedestrian airlifted
Exchange student on life support Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
A 14-year-old Korean exchange student who was struck by a car at 152 Street and 34 Avenue Sunday night is not expected to survive. Sgt. Drew Grainger said the pedestrian was “clinging to life” in BC Children’s Hospital Monday, after undergoing surgery for swelling of the brain caused by “significant head trauma.” Struck by a northbound Honda Accord around 9:30 p.m., the victim – who had been crossing 152 Street westbound against a red light – was airlifted to hospital from a sports field at nearby Morgan Elementary. He remained on life support in grave condition Monday afternoon. › see page A4

Developers should pay to go higher: mayor Sarah Massah Staff Reporter
Wayne Baldwin mayor
Developers will have to dig deeper if they want to build taller in White Rock’s town centre, if a policy amendment due to be presented to council is approved. Mayor Wayne Baldwin announced last week at his State of the City address that council will be considering changes to
the city’s amenity contribution policy to require developers make a “significant financial contribution” to the community in exchange for increases in height and density. Baldwin confirmed Monday that an increase from $20 per square metre for bonus space to as much as $452 per square metre is what’s on the table. The
Support Your Local Economy Spend Your Money At Home
jump is recommended in a report that was commissioned to gain input on policy revisions. During his address to members of the South Surrey & White Rock Chamber of Commerce, Baldwin described the change as a “very bold move” that would involve pre-zoning potential building sites in White Rock’s town centre.
“Through the amenity contribution policy, developers would only be able to increase height above three storeys and a density above a floor area ratio of 1.75 if they made a significant financial contribution for the benefit of our community,” Baldwin said Thursday at the White Rock Community Centre. › see page A4

‘Consequences dire’ at PAH › from page A1 “The consequences not only could be dire, they have been dire,” the source said. Contacted by Peace Arch News last Wednesday, Williams said Fraser Health had not heard of any instances of patients suffering. “We have not had any reports of that,” he said, acknowledging “there have been delays in having continuity of physician care.” Williams noted the night-time doctor program administered by the Division of Family Practice – in which area family doctors attend overnight urgent calls at the hospital – has been successful in seeing that all unassigned patients have received treatment. But the source said doctors on-call during the night have found themselves treating patients with medical problems that have reached a critical stage as a result of not being addressed during day shifts – along with dealing with anger from family members. Many of the unassigned patients are coming to Peace Arch from outside of its catchment area, the source added, noting that for many English is a second language. “We don’t have translators here like they do at Surrey Memorial.” The professional said there are records, diagnoses and patient names on file to back up such claims. A meeting of medical staff at the hospital was called for Monday night (after Peace Arch News press time) to discuss the issue. Although there have been enough unassigned patients for three daytime shifts for hospitalists at Peace Arch, there are ongoing difficulties finding enough doctors to cover them. Yet still patients are being admitted for which there are not enough hospitalists available, the source said. “Patients will always be admitted to hospital,” Williams confirmed. But leaving unassigned patients in hospital without a doctor’s care is unacceptable, the source said. “Fraser Health has been promising to do something about this in January, in April and September – that’s nine months,” the source added. Williams said the problem of finding enough doctors for the house-doctor program has been compounded by a population growing by three to four per cent each year, as
1 Troy Ounce Silver
Maple Leaf Coins
well as “an aging physician population.” But the source charges that Fraser Health’s reaction, to date, has been “very cynical and not very healthy.” Before the beginning of this year, orphan patients were being covered among family doctors with hospital privileges, the professional said, but there were too many cases to be covered adequately on an improvised basis – “it became overwhelming.” As a result, a daytime hospitalist system was established in January, first run by area family doctors, then taken over by Fraser Health with the help of family doctors, on April 1. Each successive attempt to address the problem has become bogged down, the source said, calculating that as of the beginning of September, 25 per cent of hospitalists’ ward work is not being covered. The source acknowledged Fraser Health has now created a fourth position for the housedoctor program, but said the roster showed that as of Friday, three positions are covered but there are still vacant shifts for the extra position for the rest of September. There are also gaps of eight to 10 days uncovered for other house-doctor positions during October. “Fraser Health can say it’s going to put on another shift, but you can’t have a shift if there’s no one to work it,” the source said. The current shortage of such hospitalists, the professional says, is exacerbated by inequities in payment for doctors between Peace Arch and Surrey Memorial Hospital. The professional alleges that payment for doctors at SMH is being subsidized, apparently as a means of attracting more doctors. “Why would someone come here when they can make 50 per cent more there? Fraser Health is aware of it and has promised to correct this, but hasn’t done anything.” Williams denied there is any difference in compensation for area doctors: “All hospitalists are paid the same rate per hour at Peace Arch, at Langley and in Surrey.” The source disagreed – “there’s the same hourly rate, but in Surrey you can work four hours and get paid for seven, or work seven hours and get paid for 11.” Skepticism remains over Fraser Health’s attempts to address the problem, the source said. “It’s gotten worse since Sept. 1, not gotten better.”

White Rock woman disposed of deceased newborn
No jail time after lying about pregnancy Martin van den Hemel Black Press
A White Rock resident won’t be spending time in jail for interfering with her dead baby’s body last summer. Richmond provincial court Judge Ron Fratkin sentenced Carly Pullman to a sixmonth conditional sentence to be served in the community. While Pullman’s lawyer, Kevin Filkow, argued for a conditional discharge that would leave his client without a criminal record, Fratkin disagreed. “The public has to be made aware that… it’s in the public interest for there to be a consequence for not doing what’s necessary,” Fratkin said. Fratkin quoted Crown counsel Gerri-Lyn
Nelson, who said that had Pullman been honest with police when they first interviewed her following the delivery in August 2011, “we wouldn’t be here.” On Aug. 15, 2011, Pullman – then a Richmond resident – went into labour and gave birth to a baby inside the bathroom of the home she shared with her then-fiancé. Before that point, she didn’t think she was pregnant. After delivering the dead newborn, she disposed of it and then took herself to a clinic, which turned out to be closed. She then went to the hospital, and doctors deduced she’d just given birth. They contacted police. That’s when the lies began, Filkow told the court during Friday’s sentencing, as Pullman denied to investigators being pregnant and giving birth.
It wasn’t until some time later, after concocting a story and leading police on a wild goose chase, that she admitted to what happened and led police to the baby’s body. A funeral service was held, and the child’s remains were cremated, the court was told. Filkow told the court his client doesn’t have a history of mental illness and, before that day, hadn’t done anything wrong. “This was not a cold-hearted case,” he said. Pullman was planning to get married to her boyfriend of five years; had he known she was pregnant, he said he would have been “delighted,” Filkow said. In the aftermath, the relationship ended, and Pullman fell into a state of depression and guilt, isolating herself socially, battling nightmares and losing contact with friends.
Pullman currently works full-time as a supervisor at a Tim Hortons and resides with her mother, brother and step-father. A psychiatric evaluation said Pullman’s chances of reoffending are “virtually nil,” Filkow said. “Up to the point that she’s in the bathroom, she’s done nothing wrong,” he said. Fratkin said this case was different from other case law presented by the Crown. “As a judge we have to.… make decisions that are very difficult. And there are some questions to which there is not one right answer,” he said. “When confronted by what she knew to be true, she lied.” In addition to the six-month conditional sentence, Pullman must report daily to a conditional sentence supervisor.

Commercial development proposed for 20 Avenue east of Highway 99
Trees, traffic a concern over 25-acre plan Kevin Diakiw Black Press
A significant commercial development in South Surrey is forging ahead to public hearing, despite council concerns about tree loss and traffic impacts. Morgan Place Developments Ltd. is planning a commercial and office space development on a 25-acre parcel of property in the 16200-block of 20 Avenue, just east of Highway 99. The development, valued at more than $100 million, will include 25,953 sq. metres (279,000 sq. ft.) of retail and restaurant uses and 9,662 sq. metres (104,000 sq. ft.) of office space. It will have 1,330 parking stalls, 676 of which will be underground. Thomas Ivanore, of Morgan Place Developments, told Black Press Thursday he is in discussions with “several” anchor tenants, but wouldn’t say whether Target was one of them. As part of the development, 417 trees will be
felled, leaving just 22 of the existing trees. Most of those (371) are cottonwood and alder, which don’t survive well amid development, according to a staff report to council. The rest are a mix of cedar, spruce, walnut, willow, maple, cherry and other trees. Coun. Barinder Rasode said at last week’s council meeting she was uncomfortable with the size of the tree-cut and asked staff to work with the developer to save more. Mayor Dianne Watts said it all depends on the makeup of the trees. “I know there’s some scrub trees there and some significant trees there, so they’re going to have to do that analysis,” Watts said. Ivanore said he’ll replace double the number of trees with more valuable ones, such as maple. Coun. Tom Gill expressed concerns about water and sewer servicing over the long term, as well as traffic issues in the short term. He noted traffic problems often arise in the area.
Public concerns are that the new development will add to traffic volumes, particularly along 24 Avenue between 160 and 152 streets. Gill noted there is a lot more land in the area slated for commercial development. He said it would be prudent for all potential developers to pool their resources for sewage pumping stations and other infrastructure. Phillip Milligan, president of the Little Campbell Watershed Society, said he’s reserving judgment until the Oct. 1 public hearing at city hall, which begins at 7 p.m. “We’ll still have some concerns until we see the full proposal at open council,” Milligan said. “We always have concerns with habitat protection and what is the city doing to protect the habitat.” Overall, he’s pleased with the development but noted the devil is always in the details. If all things go as planned, Ivanore said the project should be complete by 2015.
A 35-year-old man is facing smuggling charges after 66 condoms filled with suspected cocaine were “expelled” from a traveller who raised suspicions at the Pacific Highway border. The seizure was the second of its kind – from an “internal carrier” – in the Pacific region this year, Supt. Matt Jollymore of Canada Border Services Agency said Friday. A man carrying 42 condoms filled with 1.2 kilograms of liquid cocaine was intercepted at the Vancouver airport in April. The latest arrest came about after a routine examination of passengers on a northbound bus Sept. 7 identified inconsistencies in one traveller’s statements. Through a more in-depth, secondary exam, officers determined the man may have ingested narcotics. Arrested and escorted to hospital, the traveller was monitored in a controlled environment and eventually passed 66 condoms filled with a combined 765 grams of suspected cocaine, Jollymore said. Each package weighed approximately 11 grams. Jollymore would not disclose where the accused is from but said the bus in question arrived at the border from Seattle and was destined for Vancouver. He described the practice of smuggling narcotics internally as “an extreme risk.” “Internal couriers risk their lives when transporting illegal narcotics into Canada inside their bodies,” he said. “One of those poorly packaged pellets could definitely result in an overdose.” Officers with the RCMP’s Drug Enforcement Branch assisted with the investigation, taking the accused into custody Thursday afternoon. Ricardo Vasquez is charged with unlawfully importing cocaine into Canada and unlawfully importing cocaine for the purpose of trafficking.

Mayor unveils plans for White Rock › from page A1 “We’re building a more positive reputation with developers and investors, which is a good thing for all of us. The changes that council is considering, if approved, will create an outstanding investment plan for the city – not by making it cheaper to build, but by moving a lot of the uncertainty and speculation that surrounds development.” The first-term mayor – and former city manager – also laid out plans for possible improvements being mulled for the city’s waterfront following a public forum held earlier this year. Council will be considering – among other suggestions – expansion of the promenade one kilometre westward, construction of a children’s playground on East Beach, an overhaul of restrictions to allow more activity on the waterfront – such as kayak and paddle board rentals – and moving power lines along
Marine Drive underground. “We tried that once before, didn’t work, we’re going to try again,” he said of the power lines. Baldwin also touched on the contentious issue of pay parking on the waterfront, noting the final draft of the report from the Mayor’s Parking Task Force will be presented to council shortly and will include suggestions for an off-season non-resident decal, aimed at South Surrey residents, as well as construction of a tiered parking structure, most likely at Victoria Avenue and Vidal Street. Baldwin also announced a plan to make arts a driving economic force, with possibly a weeklong festival in October centering around International Artist Day. Other options being mulled for the arts community include extending Painter’s Square from the museum eastward to allow more artists to participate and to remove time restrictions, much like Stanley Park in Vancouver,
and to establish a school of arts comprising White Rock Elementary, Semiahmoo First Nation and Kwantlen University. While praising the work of Coast Capital Playhouse, citing it a remarkable asset to the city, Baldwin reiterated the importance of developers, noting the building would not have been built had it not been for contributions from Bosa Properties, developer of the Miramar Village highrises in the town centre. “Were it not in fact for the donation made to that project by Bosa of $275,000 – for which they get very little credit, in fact it was more than what Coast Capital gave to get the building named after them – that building would not have been built. “That shows you the kind of thing that can happen when you bring investment and development into the city – developers become a part of the community and contribute to it.”

Tragedy › from page A1 At press time, doctors were awaiting the arrival of his immediate family members. Area residents reported hearing the squeal of tires Sunday, just prior to the arrival of emergency vehicles. Police closed 152 Street to traffic between 32 and 36 avenues for several hours to investigate, completely blocking the lone access route in and out of Rosemary Heights West. A car with windshield damage on the driver’s side could be seen behind police tape north of the intersection, and cones marked a spot in the crosswalk. Alcohol and speed are not contributing factors, Grainger said, and charges are not being considered against the Honda driver, a 26-yearold Surrey man. The victim had been living in the area with extended family and attending school in Burnaby, Grainger said. Any witnesses who have not spoken to police are asked to call 604-599-0502.

Jeep, gravel truck hit head-on on 16 Avenue
Two dead after collision Monique Tamminga Black Press
Two people are dead after a head-on collision between a Jeep Cherokee and a gravel truck on 16 Avenue on Thursday afternoon. The two killed – both 76-yearold Surrey residents – were inside the Jeep. The head-on collision occurred just after 12:30 p.m., said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks. The initial investigation indicates the driver of the Jeep tried to pass another vehicle across a double solid line heading west, crossing into the path of an eastbound gravel truck between 200 and 208 Streets. The truck driver suffered minor injuries. Police were hoping to locate and speak to a driver of a smaller green car, possibly a Toyota Corolla, that was westbound on 16 Avenue at the time of the crash. For the past few months, South Surrey and Langley residents have been calling for safety measures along that stretch of 16 Avenue, the main route for gravel trucks

Residents have been calling for more speed enforcement for the gravel trucks and for Langley Township to create better safety measures, like roundabouts, at key intersections. Police said the lack of shoulders on 16 Avenue make it too dangerous for them to pull anyone over if they did a speed trap.
There have been numerous dump truck rollovers along 16th in the past couple months. The matter was to arise at Langley Township’s council meeting Monday (after Peace Arch News deadline). Coun. Charlie Fox had made a motion asking for traffic-calming options like roundabouts to be considered for the busy route.

Cold-weather facility planned
Surrey seeks shelter space Kevin Diakiw Black Press
Topping the region with the most unsheltered homeless, Surrey is looking for somewhere to locate a 40-bed cold and wet weather facility. It’s needed for this winter, because the Surrey Urban Mission, which usually houses people for extreme weather, is in the middle of a move and can’t provide the service this winter. BC Housing has offered to provide the city with funding for a 40-bed shelter over the cold months. Coun. Judy Villeneuve, a vocal advocate for the homeless, said Tuesday that she’s pleased to see a temporary replacement in the works. It is hoped that a site can be found by November, allowing the beds to be available for the Extreme Weather Shelter program. The new spot would require 1,600 sq.-ft. of space and would be located near high homeless populations (Whalley, Newton or Cloverdale) and along a major transit route. It would be open 24/7,
from Nov. 1 to March 31 and would provide clients two to three meals per day. Villeneuve describes it as a move in the right direction to address a much bigger problem. This city has a significant shortage of shelter beds. Surrey has 85 permanent shelter beds, with a further 94 available for women at risk. There are an estimated 388 homeless people in the city. A homeless count conducted last year found there were 230 unsheltered people in Surrey, representing 58 per cent of the total number of homeless. Villeneuve said that it’s likely the temporary extreme weather shelter would be located in one of those communities. First, the city is seeking a private partner who can provide the space. In the meantime, the city is working with BC Housing on a Master Plan for Housing the Homeless in Surrey, which will provide a strategic direction for housing in this city. It is expected to be completed some time this fall.

Road-pricing, tolls should be fair for all
I
t’s not quite buy-one-get-one-free, and there are no AirMiles attached, but there are plenty of other incentives for signing up with the province’s new Port Mann Bridge toll program. There’s a great deal of sense in trying to get people to get one of those stickers that can automatically deduct payment and so far the province seems to think the reduction is affordable, at least for one (election) year. But the deal is a bit of a sham, and it won’t silence critics because it doesn’t address an underlying unfairness, which is that the Port Mann is part of a regional – even provincial – transportation network we all use and from which we all benefit. Thus, everyone in Metro Vancouver should pay. Whether that means slapping token tolls of $1 per trip on every bridge, tunnel and thoroughfare or adding a $20 flat fee to property taxes, it hardly matters. The principle is everyone should share in the cost of an efficient transportation system. The current system of only charging people who use the new Port Mann – placing a disproportionate burden on people who live south of the Fraser River – is unfair given the fact that many people who won’t use the bridge will still get to drive on the new freeway. North-of-Fraser residents might balk at the suggestion that they should pay a toll or higher taxes to help pay for the new Port Mann, but fairer road pricing would benefit everyone, especially if the fee generates more cash for other transportation improvements. They are getting the Evergreen Line, a regional rapid transit system that will largely benefit Burnaby, Port Moody and Coquitlam residents, yet everyone will be paying through provincial, federal or regional taxes and fares. While they won’t sympathize with south-ofFraser folks who would refuse tolls and yet benefit from cheaper housing, they should argue for a fairer road-pricing system for all of Metro Vancouver.

British multinational BG Group unveiled plans for a third major pipeline to bring northeast gas to the coast, this one to a site near Prince Rupert proposed for a liquefied natural gas facility. And on Friday, the Haisla Nation and the B.C. government announced a land use agreement to develop another LNG export facility on the Douglas Channel near Kitimat. Two proposals in that area have already received federal export permits and financing from global energy players, including Chinese, Japanese and Korean companies. One of the bills jammed through by the BC Liberals in the hectic legislative session this spring was to do away with another of those federalprovincial overlaps that make industrial development so slow and difficult. Ottawa has sole authority to regulate reserve lands, but agreed to delegate that to B.C. and the Haisla, allowing them to pioneer the latest agreement. This is a major breakthrough, not just in the industrial development of northern B.C. but in dismantling the century-old logjam of aboriginal resource claims. At the centre of Premier Christy Clark’s much-promoted jobs plan is the target of having three LNG export terminals and associated pipelines in production by 2020. That now looks like a more realistic target. But the jobs and revenues won’t arrive in time to save the BC Liberals from their current predicament.

From sea to sea takes its toll Editor: The Trans-Canada Highway was built to be endless and free. Highway 1 was never built to have tolls imposed on the public. The Port Mann Bridge toll would put an end to the ‘endless.’ Canada’s free cross-country access from Coast to Coast has ended at the Fraser River in Surrey, not the Pacific Ocean. There needs to be alternative public transportation, such as the West Coast Express or the concept of Toronto’s GO Train system into/ out of the city. Why are residents and businesses commuters from between Vancouver and the Fraser Valley hijacked to pay a toll when there is no public transportation alternative or practical alternative route? With the residential and commercial growth boom from Surrey to Chilliwack, commuters to and from Vancouver to the Valley need public rapid-rail transit. The cost of a daily toll will rise, traffic congestion and emissions will increase. Let’s vote for public transit alternatives from the Valley to the city and challenge the rights and freedom of endless access across our amazing province and country. Susie Brown, Surrey

Danielle Moon
Signs of the times Editor: The question might be, is signage in the City of White Rock becoming not unlike that often mocked in Singapore? Recently a new sign appeared near where the barbecues used to be at a small park at West Beach. This park is used by many families from surrounding areas for its picnic tables and beach access. They pay large dollars for adjacent parking that the city has become revenue addicted to over the years. The barbecue stands have been removed, but remain incomplete in that a red safety cone covers a public safety hazard where the posts once existed. With the work not complete to date, if the cone goes missing and someone is hurt, I am sure liability will rest with the city for the hazard they have created. The symbol of a flame is clear on the City of White Rock signage to prohibit not just the charcoal barbecues but implies anything with a flame and is ambiguous at best. This signage does not address the bylaw of smoking in public, which is a big concern for those looking to enjoy the beach and surrounding areas. It is odd that they would miss this important issue when thought was placed into creating such a sign. Again, the entire Marine Drive area has more traffic signs than many other similar areas in the Lower Mainland. Perhaps a review towards cleaning up the mass number of traffic signs for dos-and-don’ts might make for

A nurse suggests mandatory flu shots for health-care workers risks being unhealthy, ineffective and undemocratic.
Missing the point over vaccination Editor: Re: Too many immunized against knowledge, Sept. 6. I would like to address a few of the assumptions made in the opinion column by Chris Foulds. I have been a health-care worker for 12 years, mainly working the ER and have a few opinions on the issue of mandatory immunizations for health-care workers. Let me start by saying: I am not against immunizations in general and am well aware that you cannot get the flu from the influenza vaccine. That’s not to say there’s no risk to getting a vaccination, as the writer suggests. There are risks to taking any medication – even those deemed ‘safe,’ such as Advil and Tylenol, are not without risks and side effects. Most vaccinations have been around long enough to be considered ‘safe’ for a general population, but the risk of adverse reaction to the individual are still real. In the recent past, vaccinations have been changed because components in them – such as preservatives like thimerosal – have been determined to be unsafe. This is not to say the risks of vaccination outweigh the potential benefits, but it does give each individual the obligation to determine what is best for themselves. I can tell you the only times I did not get vaccinated for flu season were the years they implemented mandatory immunization and threatened to send us home if we did not get our flu shot and an outbreak ensued. Perhaps it was immature but I thought, ‘Fine, send me home, I don’t want to be here if there is an outbreak anyway, and you can’t tell me what I have to put in my body.’ As a nurse, I cannot treat a patient without consent unless they are committed under the Mental Health Act. This means, if they refuse a treatment – even if it could
potentially save their life – I must support them in their choice. Why is it any different for health-care workers? Yes, we work with immunocompromised people, but should be following ‘universal precautions.’ This means the stethoscope the columnist noticed hanging off the back of that chair should have been scrubbed with alcohol. I’m not saying it was; it probably wasn’t, which makes me think more emphasis should be placed on basic procedures like hand washing and other prevention than on forcing medical staff to be immunized. It would also be prudent to note the money he used to pay for his lunch would probably turn out a similar display on a petri dish as that unsterilized stethoscope. Even if all health-care workers are vaccinated, it doesn’t mean they can’t transmit the flu virus. There is also no guarantee the strains put in the flu shot are going to be the ones that are prevalent. So I don’t think it’s fair to say vaccinations are ‘perfectly safe’ and ‘completely effective.’ I care a great deal about the health of my patients, and this is why I keep doing my job. I also need to care for my own health, and I feel I should be able to make an informed decision when it comes to vaccination. Foulds’ last statement suggests that while health-care workers should have the right to refuse vaccination, employers should have the right to not employ us if we choose not to be vaccinated. If I knew I was going to lose work based on my decision to not put a foreign substance in my body, I may not have signed up for nursing and paid for over four years of schooling to do a job I love. It is all well to implement a policy like this, but it should be done at the student level before people commit to a career. Danielle Moon, Surrey

Organizer plans to make attempt annual event
Human peace sign falls short The attempt to create the world’s largest human peace sign has fallen short, but organizers were happy with the turnout Sept. 12 in Cloverdale. “It was really beautiful,” said Joy Ross of Kindness is Key Training Inc., who co-organized the event along with her business partner and an army of volunteers. The official crowd count taken at 1:30 p.m. stood at 625 people – one-tenth of the 6,000 people needed to break the world record. But it was enough, Ross says, to have a positive impact well beyond the rolling grass-covered hillside of the Cloverdale Millennium Amphitheatre. “By doing this today, we have reached 6 and a half million people around the world,” Ross told the crowd after the count was revealed. Good vibes abounded. And most participants seemed happy simply to find themselves outside on a beautiful, warm sunny day in September, promoting peace. “It’s exciting,” said a young man from White Rock who calls himself “The Tully”, adding he and his
friend, Liadan Binx, also of White Rock, turned up to support the cause of peace. They looked forward to taking in some of the free entertainment – performers were lined up for the remainder of the afternoon. It was a diverse, happy-looking crowd, from tots to teens, and parents to seniors. Some wore tie dye t-shirts and others sported colourful casual wear. There was at least one person in a business suit. As the crowd assembled along a giant peace sign etched into the grass in white soccer field paint, some waved their arms, made the peace sign with their hands, held
balloons, blew bubbles, or broke into the odd chorus of the John Lennon and Yoko Ono anthem, Give Peace A Chance. At one point, students from Relevant High School in Cloverdale took to the stage to sing an enthusiastic, if not pitch perfect, version of O Canada. The area where participants formed the peace sign was roped off, with four entrances letting people in, enabling organizers to take an accurate count. The Re/Max hot air balloon was pressed into service to take photographs. There was palpable excitement in the air when a small aircraft flew over the site, waving a wing tip in recognition. Aerial photographs of the event will be used for two fundraising initiatives. Photos will be used in a charity calendar, with sales benefiting the Mercy Ships Charity Hospital Foundation, an organization that performs dental and medical surgeries and other aid work. The Sept. 12 attempt is just the first of what Ross says will be an annual event.

2013 Community Grants the city of surrey is now accepting applications for 2013 financial grants from non-profit groups or organizations.
What kinds of organizations are eligible? Organizations will normally be expected to: • have an active governing body composed of volunteers, with paid staff excluded from voting membership; • have stable, ongoing financial support; and • extend their service to the general public in Surrey, not excluding anyone by reason of race, religion or ethnic background.
Who chooses the successful grant applications? City Council has established a City Grants Evaluation Committee, consisting of representatives from the community, along with two city staff members, to review all applications and make recommendations on grant payment priorities. The final decision on all grant applications is made by City Council. The Grants Evaluation Committee will review and recommend grant payments based on the following criteria: • The need for the project, the number of residents benefiting from the grant and the value to the community; • The absence of identifiable or competing services, programs or facilities in the community; • The cost per resident, funding sources and financial stability of the organization; • The effectiveness and quality of the proposed program, project or event; • The history of the organization, including past services and programs; and • The suitability for one-time only funding for specific programs, capital projects or special events. Grants will not normally be recommended for travel, operating deficits, or services that are the responsibility of other levels of government. Any organization which receives a grant should not view the grant as an automatic source of funding in the following years. An evaluation of the use of the Surrey grant must be submitted at the end of the program, project or event.
When is the deadline for grant applications: All grants requests must be submitted on an official application form and received at the office of the City Clerk not later than 4:30 p.m., October 1, 2012. Application forms and additional information may be obtained by contacting: City of Surrey, Office of the City Clerk 14245 – 56 Avenue, Surrey, B.C.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
Information session on project to be held Sept. 20
White Rock duo share virtuous message Sarah Massah

Staff Reporter
earning about caring, respect, trust and honour may seem like child’s play, but two White Rock women say it’s anything but. “It’s easier said than done to follow the virtues. It’s about living it,” said Kelly Monjazeb. “People think that these are the things you learn at school or when you’re young, but everyone can benefit from it.” In 1995, Monjazeb – a trained social worker – began to delve into the world of the Virtues Project, which aims to “inspire the practice of virtues in everyday life” and has been adopted in 95 countries. She soon became so passionate about the project – which teaches 101 virtues, such as tact, generosity, humility and commitment – that she became a master facilitator so she could spread the message. Five years ago, the message reached Monjazeb’s neighbour, Myra Merkal – founder of the White Rock Princess Party held last month – who instilled aspects of the project into the annual fundraiser. “Kelly is a great role model to me. I just love watching her practise the virtues in her family, with her children and the acknowledgment,” Merkal said. “That’s what inspired me.” Now, both women want to take the global mission to the next step with a two-hour information session Sept. 20 on the virtues, entitled “What you do makes a difference.” Billed as an interactive evening, the event will teach participants the language of virtues, discover how life’s challenges are opportunities for growth and provide opportunity for reflection, Monjazeb said. “The virtues are not new, they are very ancient, and yes, many of us were raised understanding some basic values, but this goes a little deeper. This is about the core of who we are,” Monjazeb said. “Life provides opportunities

Each card names one of the project’s 101 virtues as well as a definition. everyday to develop our character and when we bring these virtues into our relationships, our relationships flourish.” “There is still a lot of darkness still in the world that still exists and the concept of this project is rather than fight the darkness, to bring in the light.” The seminar, which the women hope to expand to become a regular occurrence in the city, will focus on introducing the concept of the 101 virtues, the five virtues strategy and understanding the language of the virtues. The language refers to different

What everyone does makes a difference.” Proceeds from the event will go towards an all-abilities park Merkal and her son, White Rock firefighter Evan Bird, are hoping to build along the city’s waterfront. The session will begin at 6:30 p.m. at Pacific Inn Resorts, 1160 King George Blvd. Admission is by donation, with a recommended donation of $15.

Cloverdale duo travel to Ottawa for ceremony
Local sisters pay tribute to fallen firefighters Jennifer Lang Black Press
One of Cloverdale’s own travelled to Ottawa last week to attend the dedication of a memorial site honouring Canada’s fallen firefighters. Cindy O’Brien Hugh and her sister, Kerri, were among the relatives who gathered alongside fire services personnel for the Sept. 9 ceremony at the Canadian Firefighters Memorial. Designed by Douglas Coupland, the new memorial was officially dedicated by Gov. Gen. David Johnston at the ceremony, hosted by the Canadian Fallen Firefighters Foundation. The memorial comprises a six-metrehigh bronze statue of a firefighter and a wall inscribed with the more than 1,100 names of firefighters who have died in the line of duty since 1848. Johnston thanked the nation’s firefighters for their willingness to go “the wrong way” into danger, adding they “represent an ideal of service and selflessness that is very rare and very precious.” On Aug. 12, 1974, Cloverdale resident Larry O’Brien – the Hall 8 captain – was the driver and sole occupant of a pumper truck that skidded on a wet road on the way to a fire, landing in a deep ditch. He died at the scene. He was survived by his wife, Arlie, and their two daughters. Cindy, who was a Grade 10 student at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary at the time and now works as a secretary there, said the trip to Ottawa was an
emotional one. “The opportunity to meet with so many families that have shared the same loss was something that will stay with me forever,” O’Brien Hugh said. She and her sister were able to chat with the Red Knights – members of a firefighters motorcycle club taking part in the Ride of Respect to attend the monument’s unveiling. It was led by Surrey firefighter Tim Baillie. O’Brien Hugh also looked for the name of another Surrey firefighter inscribed on the wall, Patrick Glendenning. She also met up with ceremonial piper Jeff Sim, a longtime Surrey firefighter who recently retired, and spent four years at Hall 8 in Cloverdale. O’Brien Hugh’s father was 44 at the time of his death. The tragedy touched the entire community, as Cloverdale was still very much a small town in the 1970s. The sound of the fire alarm at Hall 8 – an air raid siren perched in the hose tower of the fire hall – could be heard throughout Cloverdale and beyond. When the alarm was raised, volunteers hurried from their jobs and families, converging at the hall. O’Brien followed his father, Bill, a 20-year veteran and proprietor of O’Brien’s Super Service gas station, into the Cloverdale Volunteer Fire Brigade, in the early 1950s. “Larry served proudly and passionately for 23 years,” says a biography included on the CFFF’s website.

Join the run for your ER. For all your very important reasons.
Why run for your ER? Have you ever left home thinking “I better tell my family I love them, because I am not sure I will be here when I am through with this?” I have. I have had a mild but chronic form of heart failure for 20 years. At first, it was manageable, but I find myself further up the treatment scale now. I have migrated to the world of cardio conversion—getting some “BC Hydro” as they say- a jolt of 50 or 100 joules with a defibrillator. With each episode, I head to Peace Arch Hospital’s ER. Six times now! I’m thinking, “Not again. I am hooked up and it is going to happen fast”. I call the kids one by one. I want to hear their voices and tell them how much I love them and how extraordinary they are. Sometimes I reach them… and sometimes it Norman Rutherford lives in Surrey with his wife is just a voice mail. If things don’t work out, Cheryl and is the very proud dad to 3 children. He you want them to dwell on the love, care and is an investment advisor and wealth management consultant with National Bank Financial. respect that is left for them. The anaesthesiologist offers a dose of what they call “milk of amnesia”—you don’t want to be awake for this. My treatment is a team effort. The best that the hospital can offer gather around—a nurse, emergency doctor and a ventilator operator, just in case. When you tinker with the heart, you just don’t always know. Needless to say. I am very grateful to those that have looked after me. Thank you Peace Arch Hospital. I support my ER, and I challenge you to join me at this year’s Run/Walk. - Norman Rutherford
How to run for your ER
Sometimes when I’m folding laundry or doing dishes, I ask myself: “Did I really stand on an Olympic podium 27 years ago?” And the answer is: You bet I did! At the 1984 LA Olympic Games an American gal collided with a wee South African barefoot runner - I was the Canadian who snuck in to win a bronze medal that day. I still love my runs in the forest, and I’ve dabbled in Triathlons, but the real running I do is to keep up with my four kids! I also love sharing my expertise with people like you, who have decided to get off the couch and prepare to walk or run the Run/Walk for Peace Arch Hospital’s ER. You’ve taken the first step by THINKING about it! With proper guidance and sticking to a tried-and-true program you will discover how easy it will be to take to the streets at a pace that is right for you. Whether you walk or jog, you will be taking steps toward better health, and having a good time doing it! “Setting meaningful goals takes courage”… A few thoughts to support your training: • Be patient. Most people tend to do too much too fast too soon –You should always finish feeling like you could have done more. • Your arm action sets the pace and maintains your rhythm. Pump those arms and the legs will follow. Keep a logbook and record your successes to stay motivated. • Do a dynamic warm-up to get the circulation going. • Cool-down with a stretch to help prevent injury. • Invite a friend to run or walk with you. It is fun to share the experience. GOOD LUCK! - Lynn Kanuka

B.C. government also puts hiring on hold
Pay freeze as deficit climbs
Thank-You
South Surrey/White Rock for supporting
Cops for CanCer
Tom Fletcher Black Press
VICTORIA – The B.C. government is freezing management salaries in government, Crown corporations and agencies, and imposing a hiring freeze on direct government jobs to deal with a rising deficit forecast. Finance Minister Mike de Jong delivered his first quarterly financial update Thursday, showing a deficit forecast up $173 million. That would bring the deficit to $1.14 billion by the end of the fiscal year next March, due mainly to lost revenues from falling natural gas prices. The hiring freeze doesn’t apply to health authorities, universities and other services beyond direct government staff, which is budgeted to shrink by 2,000 positions through attrition in the next three years. The pay freeze doesn’t apply to unionized positions, but de Jong said B.C.’s bargaining mandate for unions is also being reviewed. The current mandate calls for wage increases to be financed by savings in other parts of unionized operations. It has so far not produced a settlement with the biggest union representing direct provincial employees, the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union, which has staged a series of one-day strikes

Finance Minister Mike de Jong presents a budget update Thursday. since rejecting a 3.5 per cent wage increase over two years. De Jong said he intends to present a balanced budget in February for the 2013-14 fiscal year, when the government will face a May election. To do that, the government has to make up for an expected $389 million drop in natural gas revenue that year. The government uses gas price forecasts from five private sector agencies, but none fully accounted for the surge of shale gas production that has depressed North American prices.
B.C. producers have ramped up despite the softening price, to prove reserves needed for liquefied natural gas export facilities proposed for the north coast. NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston said he predicted the gas price drop last spring, but former finance minister Kevin Falcon ignored him. And Ralston scoffed at de Jong’s claim that his ministry will find more savings in travel budgets and other discretionary spending. “Travel budgets? That’s an old movie,” he said.

Span takes Guinness record as world’s widest
Port Mann to be free for week day after the province unveiled its plan to offer a one-year half-price toll of $1.50 a trip for regular vehicles to encourage drivers to register under the electronic tolling system. Passes will also offer unlimited crossings for the equivalent of 50 trips a month. Today (Tuesday) marks the first chance for regular motorists to cross the Port Mann, as three eastbound lanes open across the new span as part of construction staging. The Golden Ears Bridge offered a month of free crossings before its full-priced tolls kicked in in 2009, and use of it has fallen short of forecasts ever since – something the province wants to avoid with the new Port Mann.
Jeff Nagel Black Press
Drivers won’t pay a nickel to cross the new Port Mann Bridge for the first week after its official opening this December. Transportation Minister Mary Polak said the province wants all drivers to get a chance to try the new crossing and experience its promised time savings without having to worry about paying the tolls. She wouldn’t yet reveal the exact date of the official opening or when the toll-free week will be. Hundreds of workers were on the bridge deck Thursday for an appreciation barbecue that also marked the Port Mann’s inclusion in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s widest bridge.

At just over 65 metres wide, the Port Mann beat the record held by the 48.8metre Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia. The free week announcement came a

NDP lead narrows: poll Tom Fletcher Black Press
The NDP and BC Liberals pitched what they hope are popular new policies last week, as a new poll showed the governing party recovering a little of the ground it has lost to the opposition. The BC NDP still has a commanding lead in the latest of a series of Angus Reid Public Opinion polls, with 46 per cent intending to vote for them, down three per cent since January. That three per cent swung to the BC Liberals, bringing them to 25 per cent support from historic lows. The BC Conservatives held steady at 19 per cent, and the BC Green Party received eight per cent support, down one from January’s survey. Transportation Minister Mary Polak announced Wednesday that tolls on the new Port Mann bridge will begin at $1.50 when the bridge opens in December. Preliminary estimates had the toll at $3 per crossing, and the BC Liberal government signalled in August it would offer a reduction for the first year of operation, while the bridge is functioning with eight of 10 lanes. Polak denied that the one-year discount was designed to take the sting out of tolling a major crossing for Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, six months before an election. She said the

Also Wednesday, NDP leader Adrian Dix and agriculture critic Lana Popham called for new measures to assist the craft distillery industry in B.C. Dix called for the Liquor Distribution Branch markup to be reduced from 170 per cent to 129 per cent for “artisan” distilleries, defined as producing less
than 50,000 litres a year using at least 50 per cent local agriculture products. BC Conservative leader John Cummins has been diverted from policy matters by preparations for the party’s annual general meeting Sept. 22 in Langley. He has rallied a group of regional party officials in an effort to vote down a leadership review as the party prepares for the May 2013 election.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
Champagne Republic Watch out for emerging club and show favourites Champagne Republic. The emotional and soulful vocals of Emily Chambers, the funky keyboards of Phil Laessoe, the tasty guitar licks of Marty Majerski, the deep, gutsy lines of bassist Eric Lipshultz and the agile drum accents of Kevin Madden combine to create a smooth R&B, pop, soul and funk blend as heady as a tall flute of bubbly. Featured tonight (Sept. 18, 8 p.m.) in a high-profile gig at Vancouver’s Club 560 launching Vancouver Fashion Week, the band can also be caught later this month at a frequent downtown venue, The Park, on Sept. 21 and Sept. 28 (9 p.m. shows). Among performers at this year’s Spirit of the Sea Festival, the rising band has a strong local connection – Majerski is a local realtor and Lipschultz is a graduate of Semiahmoo Secondary’s awardwinning band program. Also coming is Champagne Republic’s first EP, due for release in December.

Those who missed Little Shop of Horrors during its Coast Capital Playhouse run this summer – or those who want a second helping – still have a chance to catch the locally-grown favourite Oct. 9-27 at Vancouver’s Jericho Arts Centre. Directed by White Rock Players Club board member Ryan Mooney (Nunsense, Lend Me A Tenor) and presented by his Fighting Chance Productions, the popular Alan Menken-Howard Ashman musical concerns a flower shop just off skid-row – and Audrey II, the rapidlygrowing, bloodthirsty plant from outer space nurtured by assistant florist Seymour Krelbourn. White Rock’s Kerry O’Donovan (a noted pianist-singer and musical director for Vancouver
professional productions) offers a winning characterization as Seymour, while newcomer Melissa Clark delivers a touching, starmaking turn as Audrey, Seymour’s co-worker and major crush. For tickets, visit www. jerichoartscentre.com or 604-2248007.

Outside The Box Outside The Box, the second annual celebration of fibre and textile arts, continues at venues in White Rock and South Surrey until Oct. 5. The festival is aimed at promoting awareness of of the rich versatility of fibre and textile art – from purely decorative to functional works. White Rock Library (15342 Buena Vista Ave.) will hold a display of quilts by the Piece Arch Quilters, and there will also be demonstrations and displays by the Peace Arch Weavers and Spinners (Sept. 21 and 24), the Semiahmoo Guild of Needlearts (Sept. 27), ‘yarn bombings’ and The Dance of the Needle, a bookmaking workshop (Sept. 24, 7 p.m., pre-registration necessary). Artworks by Christian Geissler will also be on display at the library through the festival. Mind and Matter Gallery, at 13743 16 Ave. – a strong supporter of the festival – is featuring fibrescapes by internationallyknown artist Pauline McLean Dutkowski, creator and co-coordinator of Outside The Box, as well as wood sculpture by the late Arnold
Mikelson and pieces by a variety of contributors including painter and multi-media artist Sheila Symington. White Rock Community Centre (15154 Russell Ave.) will be the venue for an ongoing display Outside The Box: An Exploration of Fibre, presented by Semiahmoo Arts and the City of White Rock and running until Oct. 19, as well as the related exhibit by Don Welsh of Semiahmoo First Nation of his detailed model of an aboriginal fishing village. In Bryant Park, next to the community centre, artist Alicia M.B. Ballard’s interactive art installation Interknots – which festooned trees with colourful fibre art but was interrupted for a week by unknown vandals who stole donated scarves – will make a comeback thanks to supporters in the community. White Rock Museum and Archives is in step with the theme with the current exhibit Baskets: Fibrous, Functional and Fabulous, a collection of First Nations basketry originally collected by the late Irene Maccaud and now part of the museum’s permanent collection. Peace Arch Weavers and Spinners will be featured in their own showcase, Sept. 29 at Semiahmoo Shopping Centre, while there will also be exhibits and workshops at Laura’s Fashion Fabrics and The Golden Cactus Studio.

Surrey at .500 after first two weekends of BC Hockey League schedule
Eagles, Chiefs split weekend series Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
For the second straight weekend, the Surrey Eagles finished with a .500 record, and splitting a home-and-home series with the Chilliwack Chiefs. Friday night at South Surrey Arena, the Eagles won their home-opener in dramatic fashion, edging the Chiefs 3-2 in doubleovertime, with rookie Drew Best netting the winning goal in extra time. The following day, this time at Chilliwack’s Prospera Centre, the Chiefs drew even with a 4-2 win. Through two weeks of BC Hockey League action, the Eagles have a 2-2 record, and sit fourth in the ❝Five-on-five, Mainland Division, we’ve got to behind 3-0-0-1 Prince George, Coquitlam and find a way to Chilliwack. score some “You hate to sound cliché, but it’s still a more goals.❞ process. We’re still Matt Erhart finding out who plays Eagles coach well together, and we’ve put together some good stretches,” Eagles head coach Matt Erhart said. “But a split is a split. We’ll take it and move on.” Friday, Surrey didn’t get off to a good start in front of the hometown fans, as the Chiefs leapt out to a 2-0 lead in the first period – Josh Hansen and Matt Revel each scored for Chilliwack by the 13:05 mark of the frame. However, third-year Eagle Michael Stenerson made it 2-1 with a power-play goal midway through the second period, and the Eagles struck again with the manadvantage in the third, tying the game on a Colton Mackie goal 9:20 into the final frame. Defenceman Beau Orser assisted on both markers. After neither team broke the deadlock in the first four-on-four overtime time, the game moved to a three-on-three second OT; Best scored at the 1:04 mark. Rookie net minder Glenn Ferguson stopped 27 of 29 shots on net to earn the victory. After going 2-for-7 on the power-play Friday – and after scoring at least one goal with the man-advantage in each of the two games at the BCHL Showcase two weekends ago – the Eagles’ power-play failed to score Saturday, for the first time this season.

Surrey Eagles goaltender Glenn Ferguson stops Chilliwack Chiefs forward Garrett Forster on a scoring chance in close Friday night. “Special teams-wise, we’ve been pretty good so far,” said Erhart, adding that the team was also ranked No. 2 in penalty killing through the first two weeks of the BCHL season. “But five-on-five, we’ve got to find a way to score some more goals.” Neither team scored a goal of any sort in the opening 20 minutes at Prospera Centre, until the home side broke the game open with a four-goal second period. Spencer Graboski, Luke Esposito and Tanner Cochrane all scored for Chilliwack in the first five minutes of the period, and Josh Hansen added a fourth with 1:09 left before the intermission. Brett Mulcahy – with his team-best third goal of the year – replied for the Eagles, and Best scored his second of the season with
36 seconds left in the game, to round out the scoring for the Peninsula squad. Ferguson was again between the pipes for the Eagles, stopping 33 shots.
Roster moves
Brett Seldon did not last long in Surrey Eagles’ colours. The 18-year-old defenceman, who was acquired from the Ontario Junior Hockey League’s North York Rangers in exchange for Sean McGovern, was dealt Wednesday to the Coquitlam Express for future considerations. Seldon did not play a regular-season game for the Eagles; he was a healthy scratch in both games of the BCHL Showcase. To take his spot on the roster, the Eagles added 18-year-old forward Joel Gaudet to
the roster. Gaudet played last season for the Junior ‘B’ Grandview Steelers, tallying 21 points in 37 games. Also last week, the Eagles acquired 18-year-old Semiahmoo Minor Hockey alum Mason Blacklock from the Nanaimo Clippers, in exchange for future considerations. Blacklock was in his second season with the Clippers, and has also played one season with Langley. Last year, he had 16 points in 50 games. “Mason is a big forward with a left shot who will fit in well with our group and style of play,” said Eagles head coach and GM Matt Erhart. “I believe he has offensive upside and can flourish in an Eagles uniform.” To make room on the roster for Blacklock, Surrey released forward Harlan Orr.

The newly branded Coastal FC Peace Arch team is 1-1 after two weeks of fall soccer action. The premier men’s soccer side – formerly called Peace Arch United – earned its first victory of the season Saturday, after a 5-2 win over SFC Guildford at South Surrey Athletic Park. Ryan Canavor, Sean Crocker, Simon Crocker, Cory Gibson and Taki Vohalis all scored for the South Surrey-based club, which opened the season a week earlier, Sept. 8, with a 2-2 tie against the Fraser Valley Red Devils. In that game, Vohalis and Sean Crocker were the goal-scorers. Two other Surrey squads – both new to the premier circuit – are also 1-1 after two weeks of Fraser Valley Soccer League action. SFC Guildford sits with a .500 record after opening the season
Whyte were the goal scorers, and goalkeeper Taylor Weaks had the shutout. “It was a very good game for us,” said Guildford head coach Azid Palani. “The lads were very happy to win the first premier game they have played in.” Guildford United placed second in Div. 1 last season, with 10-5-3 (won-lost-tied), Surrey’s second new premier-league team, SFC Temple United Reds, also opened their season with a win earlier this month, after being awarded a 5-0 forfeit win over Magnusion Ford United (Abbotsford). They couldn’t make it two in a row last weekend, however, losing Saturday to PoCo FC, 3-1. Zoramar Sandhu scored the team’s lone goal in Saturday’s loss. “It’s our first year in the premier division and we hope to be up here for awhile,” said Reds manager Sanjeev

Colton Gillies hits ice at Centennial Arena
NHLer helps out hockey academy Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
The young hockey players enrolled in Semiahmoo Secondary’s Hockey Canada Skills Academy got a special treat last week – a surprise visit from NHL forward Colton Gillies. Last Wednesday, Gillies, a 23-yearold South Surrey native, stopped by the high school to speak with students in the program, and Thursday, Gillies hit the ice with the group at Centennial Arena. During the one-hour session, Gillies – an alum of the skills academy program – participated in drills alongside the Grade 8-10 students, and spent time chatting with his former academy coaches, such as Jim Babcock. “It’s great to have him out here,” Babcock said. “He’s an alumni of this program, and it’s always great to see guys like that back.” The Hockey Canada program is currently run at both Earl Marriott and Semiahmoo secondaries, and gives students the chance to hone their on-ice skills in lieu of the school’s usual P.E. class. Gillies took part in the program before moving to Saskatoon as a 16-year-old to play in the Western Hockey League.
Under normal circumstances, Gillies, a former first-round draft pick of the Minnesota Wild who now plays for the Columbus Blue Jackets, would have left by now for training camp in Columbus, but the NHL and its players are currently in the midst of a labour dispute, and a official lockout began Friday at midnight. The lockout comes at an unfortunate time for Gillies, who – whenever the season does begin – will be looking to cement his spot in the Blue Jackets lineup in his first full season with the team. He joined the club midway through last year after being waived by the Wild. “It’ll be nice to get a chance to play,” he said. “I’m looking forward to it.” Gillies is far from the only NHL player showing up on Lower Mainland ice in recent days. Members of the Vancouver Canucks – along with L.A. Kings defenceman Willie Mitchell – have been skating all month out at UBC, and last week Winnipeg Jets forward Evander Kane – a Vancouver native – made a surprise appearance in a men’s rec league game at Langley Twin Rinks. Former Surrey Eagles blue-liner Tyler Eckford, who last year played in the Phoenix Coyotes system, also played in the same league last week.
