Neighbours watch as officers arrive in armoured vehicle

18 arrested, IDs seized in police raid Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Eighteen people were arrested at a South Surrey home Thursday night, in a raid police say was part of an ongoing investigation into drug-related activity. Neighbours told Peace Arch News that officers surrounded the two-

storey house, in the 15400-block of 22 Avenue, around 9 p.m., arriving in an armoured vehicle and breaking down the door. “We were walking up the street and all of a sudden the big police truck… came down and police cars behind it,” said one woman who has lived in the area for more than

30 years. “You could hear them going in, there was a big bang. As soon as we saw them coming down the street, we got into the house.” Neighbours noticed problems associated with the house after new tenants moved in Aug. 1, she said. “There’s been lots of traffic… people we don’t know.”

According to police, the house has been on their radar “of late,” and those arrested Thursday are well-known to them. In addition to the arrests, police seized a small quantity of drugs from the house, along with identification documents that were confirmed stolen. A Surrey RCMP spokesman said

a number of specialized police units were involved in the operation, and it is hoped the arrests will reduce criminal activity in the neighbourhood, which is also home to Jessie Lee Elementary. Another area resident said police had been driving by “two or three i see page 2

Zombie Walk attracts all ages to Marine Drive

Food-bank fundraiser for all walks of life Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

Marine Drive residents escaped unscathed despite a zombie invasion along the waterfront Sunday. Dozens of the undead shuffled, walked and crawled Sunday for the third annual White Rock Zombie Walk organized by area resident Teresa Brauer. The zombie aficionado began organizing the walk following her move from Edmonton four years ago, where she had set up a zombie walk as well.

This year, there was a noticeable increase in participants, with nearly 100 people of all walks of life taking to the streets. “We had a bus from a senior centre who brought in donations, and they were dressed up. Their donations far exceeded what we could have ever imagined,” Brauer said. “We even ended up with an unexpected police escort.” Her love for the walking dead was the result of working on wardrobe and set design on the television show, Fear Itself, in 2008. “I’ve always thought there was something

fantastic about zombies. From (George) Romero you had these slow-moving zombies that you could outrun easily, to modern movies with Will Smith when they’re superhuman fast,” she said. It wasn’t just about the guts and gore for the mother of two. The event doubled as a fundraiser for the Sources food bank, bringing in a number of much-needed goods. “This time of the year, it can get scary. With all the school fees and the supplies, it’s really tough,” she said. “We really wanted to be able to help out.”

The walking dead are moving to Semiahmoo Park. But Ron McCall and Carl Sutherland are preparing for the fight – set to take place for two months on First Nation land bordering the City of White Rock – with a stockpile of weapons, namely paintball guns. The Zombie Combat Zone co-owners have collaborated with Semiahmoo Chief Willard Cook and band councillor File photo Joanne Charles to Ron McCall bring the zombiethemed paintball game, Zombie Combat Zone: The Legend of the Wendigo, to the waterfront park, near the baseball diamond, for its upcoming season. “They thought it was a great idea and a great way to contribute to the band, and also a way to use the popularity of the game to champion some of their causes,” McCall told Peace Arch News Monday. i see page 2

Neighbours laud police action i from page 1 times a day,” and told her “there’s a house under investigation.” “It’s a house that has a whole bunch of people coming and going,” said Lynda Molter, describing everything from teenagers to biker-types. Molter said she was on her way home when she came across the police operation Thursday night. They would not allow her to go down 22 Avenue, she said. While neighbours say people have returned to the house in question, they are satisfied with the police response and optimistic a return to the peace they are used to is imminent. “(Police) were pretty good at letting us

know they were trying to deal with it,” one woman said. “A month of having this happen, no one was getting sleep. It’s pretty hard on a neighbourhood. Hopefully, (those involved) will know that they’re not wanted here.” The raid occurred just a few days after – and only four blocks away from – another significant incident. Sept. 1, police descended on a home in the 2600-block of King George Boulevard, after area residents reported a brawl outside of a two-storey house. King George was closed to traffic for several hours while police dealt with the incident, which ended with several people being taken into custody and two taken to hospital.

Paintball story has native spin i from page 1 “Last year, we had no luck. We tried to work with a bunch of different townships, but the amount of red tape that you have to go through, I would say it’s almost impossible to get land out here.” In its inaugural year, the combat zone was held on a 57-acre site at 19022 16 Ave. Citing their more than 30 years of combined film and television experience, McCall and Sutherland promise the new apocalyptic-style military base will be more explosive. “The game is going to be a lot more intense this year. We hardly put out anything before, because we were on someone else’s land. This year, we don’t have to worry about anyone else, and we have a huge surprise for the finale – something no one has ever done before,” McCall said. There will also be a new breed of “undead” – controlled by cybernetic technology mixed with paranormal native legend – as well as faster, tougher zombies; merchandise; and food and drinks, courtesy of the SFN.

White Rock

“We based the finale of the game on the legend of this creature called the Wendigo, and it’s a native-American mythological creature. So we’ve kind of taken a spin on it and evoked that into the storyline this year. So it’s sort of half paranormal, half cyber technology,” McCall said. Booking for the new season has gone live on the duo’s new website, www.zombiecombatzone.com, with tours beginning Oct. 1. Attempts to reach Charles for comment were unsuccessful. Access to the park has been restricted since December 2010, when the SFN began erecting chainlink fencing; work that was expanded the following month to surround the entire park. At the time, Charles explained the move was driven by safety concerns and lack of respect for the land by dog owners. It was done “to preserve and strengthen our ownership of the land,” she said. Special events were to be permitted, and have included Spirit of the Sea Festival and the recent RCMP Musical Ride performance.

Seniors-care homes no longer provide free rentals

Fraser Health first with wheelchair fees Jeff Nagel Black Press

Fraser Health has gone ahead and imposed a controversial $25-a-month wheelchairrental fee at its 16 long-term care homes, even though the neighbouring Vancouver Coastal Health has decided to hold off. Seniors have until now had free use of wheelchairs in publicly run residential care homes. Fraser Health was the first B.C. health authority to notify residents in June that if they needed a wheelchair and didn’t own one or rent one from another vendor, they would have to pay starting Sept. 1, unless they applied for and received a hardship waiver. At that time it was expected the policy would be consistent province-wide.

Vancouver Coastal spokesman Gavin Wilson said residents there were about to also be notified of the change when a public backlash over the idea prompted the health ministry to embark on a review of all allowable fees. “It raised the issue that there are a lot of inconsistencies not only between health authorities but even within health authorities about how these fees are applied,” Wilson said. Fraser Health spokesperson Tasleem Juma said the authority decided to proceed with the fee since more than 1,000 notifications had already been sent to residents in its facilities and some had completed forms or begun applying for hardship waivers. “Rather than create confusion, we decided to say the wheelchair fee remains in place

A backlash prompted Vancouver Coastal Health to not implement planned rental fees. and continue the path of helping those who cannot afford it to go through the waiver process,” she said. Juma said the fee has been “quite well

accepted with regard to the residents we’ve had contact with.” NDP leader Adrian Dix said Fraser officials should reverse the fee, which won’t actually start to be debited from residents’ accounts until the end of September. He noted it’s the only B.C. health authority that will now be charging for wheelchair rentals. “It’s not a good idea, it’s regressive and it requires a lot of energy to collect,” Dix said. “Being ahead of all the other health authorities on an issue like the wheelchair tax is not the right place to be.” The province argued that the fee, aimed to recover maintenance costs for the wheelchairs, was fair because residents who live in their own homes or in many privately run homes don’t get them for free.

Police warning after jewelry taken by heavyset woman who sought help

‘Distraction thefts’ target seniors Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The daughter of a senior whose heirloom diamond ring was stolen right off of her hand last month said she has not given up on karma making things right. The woman – who works in South Surrey – said her mom has never hesitated to help someone in need, and believed help was indeed needed when she was approached by a stranger in the 11700-block of 75 Avenue on Aug. 31. The heavyset, curly-haired stranger asked the 75-year-old for directions to Surrey Memorial Hospital, then offered the older lady a necklace, seemingly as a thank you. But when the senior reached for the ‘gift,’ the stranger grabbed her left hand and pulled off a $50,000-ring. It was a ring the Delta woman had worn since 1972, given to her by her husband, who has since passed away. The ring has seven one-carat diamonds on it – each one representing a family member. “She has never taken it off,” the senior’s daughter said. “That’s what she calls her wedding ring.” When the stunned senior demanded her ring back, the stranger threw a different ring at her

A 75-year-old’s ring was taken off her finger. and fled to a waiting vehicle driven by a man. The “distraction theft” was one of at least three that have occurred near Whalley and Newton since mid-August, for which victims have provided similar culprit descriptions and tactics. On Aug. 13, a heavyset South Asian or Middle-Eastern woman with gold teeth approached another woman and tried to put some fake jewelry on her. During the exchange, the large woman stole two bracelets from the victim. Then, on Aug. 30, what is believed to be the same assailant approached an elderly Asian woman with a similar scheme, and took her necklace.

None of the victims was injured or threatened. The Delta senior’s family is offering a $5,000 reward for anyone with information that leads to the recovery of the stolen ring. Police say they are looking for are a man and a woman in connection with the spree. Both are described as dark-skinned and between 45 and 55 years old. The man has short dark hair and a goatee, and the woman is heavyset with long, curly, dark hair. Police have identified “a person of interest.” Anyone with information about the thefts is asked to call Delta Police at 604-946-4411, Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS). In the meantime, police are reminding the public to use discretion when wearing valuable jewelry in public, and to use caution when approached by someone you don’t know. If an incident occurs, call 911 immediately and try to note the suspect’s direction of travel. A similar advisory was issued last year, after a series of jewelry thefts in the Newton area. In that spree, at least seven women reported having jewelry ripped from their necks or wrists by a Caucasian man. Police say the latest scheme is decidedly orchestrated and likely unrelated.

White Rock council was to vote last night on the next step towards the city buying its water utility – figuring out what it’s worth. In a Sept. 9 report, the city’s financial services director recommended hiring the firm KPMG LLP to complete a “market valuation” of the utility – currently owned by Edmonton-based Epcor – and assist with negotiation of a purchase agreement. Council voted unanimously in June to provide notice to Epcor of the city’s intention to assume ownership of the utility. In her report, Sandra Kurylo estimated the base cost of the contract to KPMG at between $21,000 and $26,300. Out-of-pocket expenses related to travel and additional hourly rates for help with negotiations could add to the total. Kurylo’s recommendation followed an evaluation of KPMG’s proposal and that received from BDO Canada LLP. (A third organization declined to receive the request for proposal.) If council votes in favour, the contract will be funded from the city’s contingency budget.

Mother/daughter arrest A Delta woman and her 92-yearold mother were arrested in South Surrey Thursday, after police conducting a traffic stop near Grandview Corners discovered drugs in a vehicle. The incident occurred around 2:45 p.m. Sept. 5 in the 15800block of 24 Avenue. It’s unclear what initially piqued officers’ interest about the vehicle, a grey Chevrolet Cavalier. Two women in the car were arrested for possession of a controlled substance. The older woman, a Surrey resident and the registered owner of the vehicle, was released at the scene; a 58-year-old was taken into custody. Investigation is ongoing.

Mental-health savings costly

ew can argue against the statement that mental illness touches everyone. There are, of course, those with diagnoses. Then, there are their children, siblings, parents, friends and co-workers. Even complete strangers are often hit with the ripples, as society is forced to bear the burden of missed work days, medical visits, inadequate treatment options, etc. Perhaps if it felt easier to talk openly about mental illness, things would be different. But it’s a subject rarely broached in the public realm. There are people in this community who worked hard to change that. Helen Connolly was one. Prior to her death from cancer in 2008, Connolly was tireless in advocating for people with mental illness – a journey of more than two decades that was inspired by her own son’s struggles. Jim Booth was another devoted advocate. Along with his wife, Ilze, Booth (who died in 2010) hosted an annual international soirée aimed at opening eyes, minds and hearts to mental illness – how pervasive it is, how much more needs to be done for diagnosis and treatment. If they were still alive today, both Peninsula residents would, no doubt, be disappointed to learn of Fraser Health’s recent decision to phase out evening hours at several of its mental-health clinics. Health authorities assure the move is not a cut in services, and that it will only affect one per cent of those who currently access its mentalhealth services. But it’s unlikely that statistic factors in the family members, co-workers, friends and others who love and support the people that make up that one per cent. There is a bigger picture to consider. Perhaps it is easier to make such decisions without considering the broader impact. That approach, however, does more harm than good. It may take a little while to notice, but the decision will have ripples – at home, in the workplace and beyond. It will impact forward strides that have been made in the realm of mental illness and mood disorders; strides that include leading society to better accept mental illness as a disease. It remains to be seen how far-reaching the impacts will be, but for those who could only access the evening clinics, the decision literally closes doors to a healthier future. It begs the question, at what cost?

by senior governments. The most dramatic example these days is a 2020 federal deadline for Greater Victoria to construct land-based sewage treatment. Even with federal and provincial cost sharing, this project is going to land heavily on property tax bills, including those of pensioners. Leonard points to another arbitrary system, provincial facilities that pay grants in lieu of property taxes. Saanich is home to the University of Victoria, a community of 25,000 people that needs water and sewer service, as well as police and fire protection. Saanich gets an annual grant in lieu of property taxes of $120,000 for UVic, enough to cover wages and benefits for one cop and maybe some gas money. Cariboo Regional District chair Al Richmond, co-chair of the UBCM committee, is concerned about new water and flood-protection legislation the province is preparing to impose. Local politicians will be expecting a sympathetic ear from the new version of the B.C. Liberal government. Former Quesnel councillor Coralee Oakes is the new community, sport and cultural development minister, with direct responsibility for local government issues. And one of the original members of this UBCM committee was former Langley City mayor Peter Fassbender, who is now Surrey-Fleetwood MLA and minister of education. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalNews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca The Peace Arch News is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

Let science Road rules lead pot policy should apply Editor: Re: Board of Trade rebuffs reefer rethink, Sept. 3 editorial. How disappointing to read that the Surrey Board of Trade and its CEO, Anita Huberman, has taken such an outdated, outspoken and uneducated position on this topic. At a time when federal party leaders like Justin Trudeau, medical experts like CNN’s Dr. Sunjay Gupta, periodicals like Maclean’s and, indeed, a growing swell of popular support in B.C. at 70 per cent for legal changes, our SBOT has chosen to remain with old wives’ tales. A few points to ponder: the illegality of cannabis has not made it less available in B.C. The product is cheaper and more readily available due to its illicit status. Prohibition ensures management and safety of this product remains in the hands of the criminal element. And it is an expensive and unmitigated disaster from a law-enforcement perspective. In April, a World Health Organization survey indicated Canadian children and youth are the heaviest users of cannabis in the developed world. So what we have done so far has not worked, and yet Huberman wants more of the same. If cannabis was indeed a ‘starter’ drug, then global jurisdictions with more liberal cannabis laws would have higher uptake of hard drugs, which is empirically not the case. Indeed, following decriminalization of all drugs in Portugal in 2001, there has been a reduction in all drug use, including cannabis. A 2002 Canadian Senate report noted that “early drug legislation was largely based on moral panic, racist sentiment and a notorious absence of debate.” The LeDain Royal Commission in the 1970s concluded criminalization of cannabis had “no scientific basis.” Unfortunately, in B.C.’s secondlargest city, we have some that will not allow science to direct policy. No one should operate machinery under the influence of cannabis, which is one point SBOT correctly made. However, to state that marijuana use would negatively impact health is laughable, as Health Canada has observed an exponential rise in the number of its medical-marijuana patients prescribed by doctors for a wide array of medical conditions. Furthermore, to indicate “attention is diminished” misses the point. Perhaps Huberman should refer to cases of Clinton, Bush and Obama, who all inhaled to some extent. I’d love to see SBOT’s justification for “potential” absenteeism and loss of production. Certainly the Dutch seem to have a vibrant and healthy work environment, and Washington State seems to be surviving. It was perhaps not unexpected when I read that the SBOT is in support of a new coal terminal, as it was for the South Surrey casino. Perhaps they could take a stance on capital punishment, gay marriage and abortion, for which they are no doubt equally qualified to postulate? David Hutchinson, Surrey

Editor: Re: Cities eye licensing wheelchair users, Aug. 27. When one considers the number of motorized wheelchair and scooter users in this area, it would seem they are far more safety minded than any other driver types. Trucks, cars and motorcycles all get along by following simple rules such as “slower traffic keep right” and by staying aware of nearby traffic. Why do pedestrians behave otherwise? If four pedestrians are walking together, they walk four abreast and spread out with no concern for others whenever the sidewalk widens. When anyone wants to pass, it is difficult to get their attention without speaking in a loud voice or ringing a bell on a scooter or bike. If it is other pedestrians passing, there is no problem. But if it is a scooter, they seem to go into shock, as if they were about to be run over. Statistically, they have little to worry about. There are those with a touch of egomania, who seem to believe the sidewalks are meant exclusively for pedestrians who should all be walking at their pace, whatever that may be. Why not use the same consideration as drivers, and move out of the way for faster-moving people, whether they be on foot or

using any legal vehicle? As a scooter user, I would like to note I am not overly pleased when a pedestrian jumps in front of me when I am waiting for a “walk” light. The specious attempt to license wheelchair or scooter users is only an effort to remove them. When those same complainers reach the stage where they need such transport, their attitude will change. Richard Bradley, White Rock

Transit forced half the people back to their cars because people cannot afford the extra travelling time. In my opinion, if TransLink wants extra funding, then they should fire 80 per cent of their management staff and use that money for upgrades. It seems they are not listening to the working-class needs. Capital expenditures should be kept to existing funds. We cannot afford another tax increase. If TransLink or any other government is pushing us, we should start a tax revolution. Mary Mikelson, Surrey

No more taxes for transit Select routes Editor: get attention Re: Transit advocates call for 0.5% sales tax, Aug. 29. I am appalled that anyone would even consider another tax. We are already taxed to death, as people are having a hard time to survive. Not only do we pay taxes, we are forced to pay user fees – another form of tax – for almost everything. Whoever came up with user fees should be sent to Siberia forever. Why do we need a SkyTrain from Broadway to UBC? The buses go that route every five minutes. Is it because TransLink has money to burn? Look what TransLink did to us, took away a direct route to Vancouver. Now people have to take 351 to Bridgeport then take the Canada Line to Vancouver. I am told they now want to charge us twice. Was this the reason behind it?

Editor: I had occasion to travel to the location of the new Surrey City Hall, along 132 Street, and could not help but notice the new paving, both completed and underway, in the area. This, while 64 Avenue remains a disaster, with dangerously poor patch jobs from 120 Street to King George Boulevard. The same is also true for 120 Street from Boundary Park Drive to past 80 Avenue. It would seem our mayor and council are far more interested in feeding their egos with the so-called redevelopment of the Central City and Whalley areas, than maintaining a safe major-roadway system on heavily travelled routes.

Time to organize a cleanup party Editor: In watching both Global and CTV News, I saw the news items about back-to-school parties and the damage they have caused on the North Shore. The RCMP seemed determined to stop these destructive events. My feeling was, “…not our kids.” I was so wrong! Check out the forested area behind Softball City off 148

Street. I quit counting the discarded beer cans at 200. The waste also included fast-food wrapping, pop/ water and juice bottles, clothing, plastic bags, condoms, many egg cartons, along with smashed eggs. The sight in this beautiful forest was disgusting. It is my hope that the student councils from the four local high schools in South Surrey will put their differences aside, get together and clean up this mess. Dennis Begin, Surrey

Japanese knotweed target of chemical-injection efforts

City tackles invasive plant Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The City of White Rock is striking back against an invasive plant that has the ability to cause serious damage to infrastructure. Arborist Aelicia Otto said signage advising of steps being taken to eradicate Japanese knotweed on city property – including in Duprez ravine – was scheduled to go up yesterday (Monday), followed by chemical injection of the plants on Tuesday or Wednesday. The work is part of a “management strategy” developed after damage caused by the plant to the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge and the $3.3-billion Port Mann/ Highway 1 expansion project made headlines last summer. Otto said a product with glyphosphate – the active ingredient in RoundUp – will be injected into the stems of the plant at nearly two dozen sites, including 11 in the ravine, where it is destroying streamside habitat. Chemical injection is the most effective means of eradicating it, Otto said. “It’s taken into the plant and… in the vascular system, the chemical is moved to all the parts,” she said. And, “there’s almost no risk to people because of the application method.” But at least one White Rock

The invasive Japanese knotweed is being targeted by the city. resident says any risk is too great. “This should not be done,” said Cal Pawson, describing himself as a horticulturist and former nursery manager. “They’re using a whole lot of pesticide for no reason. It’s an easy way out… but I’m not convinced it’s the best way to go, especially in a sensitive area.” Pawson is hopeful officials can be convinced to use a less toxic approach to the problem, however, Otto said manual removal of the plant is “almost impossible.” Efforts to do just that only exacerbated the problem, she said. Cost of the upcoming work is $1,900. It will likely need to be repeated next year, given the maturity of some of the plant clusters. Otto said that compared to other invasive plants that exist in

White Rock, Japanese knotweed is the easiest to deal with based on the control method. Silver leaf lamium, by contrast, roots easily and grows fast. Its diameter is too small for stem injection and it can’t be sprayed because of the threat to other species. “In some areas, we won’t be able to control it,” Otto said. To help with that and other invasives, the city – working with the Lower Mainland Green Team – holds regular invasive-plantremoval events. The next is to take place in November. Signage advising of the upcoming work on Japanese knotweed will remain in place for at least 48 hours after the chemical’s application. The work is scheduled through Sept. 20. Anyone with questions may contact Otto at 604-541-2116.

You’treed! i v n i Surrey celebrates 20 years Civic designation became official on Sept. 11, 1993

River Cruising with…

Kevin Diakiw Black Press

On Sept. 11, 1993, Surrey officially became a city, so this year, it marks its 20th birthday. Coun. Linda Hepner was a city staffer in 1993, and helped organize the celebration when Surrey became a city. One of the biggest changes she has seen over the years has been the huge influx of young people. “We have become the city of choice for young families,” Hepner said Thursday. “We have more people under the age of 19 than anywhere else in the province. That’s big.” That fact shapes how the city approaches some of its recreational programs, she said. Development in Surrey has also boomed in recent decades. In the 1990s, the municipality’s population was poised to top 300,000. Since then, Surrey has expanded rapidly, almost doubling its population. Today, Surrey’s population tops 500,000, and the city has experienced several record-breaking years of growth, particularly in the residential sector. The formation of six distinct town centres – Fleetwood, Guildford, Newton, Cloverdale, South Surrey, and Whalley (now more commonly known as City Centre) – was recognized in the

Surrey’s population has nearly doubled since becoming a city in ‘93. Official Community Plan in the early 1990s. These areas have become commercial hubs in Surrey. The year after Surrey’s first birthday, the SkyTrain rolled into town, bringing with it the promise of better connections with Vancouver and other regional cities. Moving forward, Hepner said Surrey needs to be more cognizant of its growing refugee population. That means having services in place to help new Canadians and offering effective multicultural programs.

The City of Surrey had planned to celebrate the city’s birthday at its new city hall in City Centre. However, construction on the building is running about a month behind, so Hepner said a celebration will happen at the hall when it’s complete. Over the course of this week, the city will be hosting a contest on its website at www.surrey. ca. Archival photographs from across the city will be posted, and the public is encouraged to log on and guess where the locations are today. Those who guess correctly will have the chance to win prizes.

Crash victim awarded damages Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A program manager at Semiahmoo House Society who was injured in a crash more than four years ago has been awarded more than $260,000 in damages. The funds to Jo-Ann Ahonen include $120,000 for loss of future earnings, $100,000 in non-pecuniary damages and $30,000 for future care costs. According to a B.C. Supreme Court judgment released Sept. 4, Ahonen, a 45-yearold mother of three, was injured when her Chevrolet Uplander was struck on King George Boulevard by a Dodge Ram 1500 around 6 a.m. April 17, 2009. The Dodge

driver – identified in court documents as Michael Thauli – turned left into Ahonen’s vehicle “without warning.” “There was no intersection and the plaintiff could not have anticipated the defendant would turn as he did into her direction of travel,” Justice William Smart writes. Both vehicles suffered significant frontend damage and were written off by ICBC. Taken to hospital, Ahonen was X-rayed and released. Four days later, her doctor noted severe bruising over Ahonen’s chest, lap, knees, shin and ankle, as well as reduced range of motion in her neck. She didn’t return to work until June 1, 2009.

Four measles cases confirmed Jeff Nagel Black Press

A measles outbreak in the Fraser Health region has prompted a broader warning to residents and health professionals to be on the lookout for the disease. Public health officials say four confirmed cases of measles have turned up in Burnaby, Surrey, Abbotsford and Chilliwack and several more patients have symptoms consistent with measles. Fraser Health is investigating to see if the cases are linked. So far there’s no known source of exposure to measles – most infections are normally from travel to another country. “These people haven’t travelled so we really have no idea where they picked it up from,” said medical health officer Dr. Michelle Murti, adding the new cases are unrelated to each other. All the recent cases were either unimmunized, incompletely immunized, or didn’t know their immunization status, she said.

Anyone born after 1956 should have two doses of measlescontaining vaccine, although many have had just one or none at all. Advice and vaccinations are being offered to anyone who may have been in contact with those infected, and anyone who is unsure about their measles immunization can get the vaccine for free from doctors, clinics and some pharmacies. The disease is most serious for infants, who die at a rate of one for every 3,000 infections in developed countries. The risk of fatalities as well as significant complications like pneumonia and brain inflammation is why health leaders encourage vaccination. Measles are highly contagious starting one to two days before symptoms show up and continuing until four days after the classic measles rash begins. Anyone who develops measles symptoms – starting with a fever, runny nose, cough and red, watery eyes – is urged to stay home and not expose others.

Ahonen’s husband, sister, friend, coworkers and medical professionals gave evidence, including that Ahonen was physically active prior to the crash and employed full-time as a program manager at SHS. Since the crash, she experiences daily neck pain, regular headaches and anxiety, the judgment states. In addition, she has limit her recreational activities, and the “prognosis for further recovery of the injuries suffered… is poor,” stated a physiatrist who examined Ahonen. “Ms. Ahonen is probably permanently partially disabled as a result of the injuries.” Liability in the crash was not disputed, however the award sought was.

Donations still sought for much-needed renovations

Food bank’s new site ‘cleaner, safer’ Tracy Holmes

Staff Reporter

here are many things about Sources’ new food bank location that manager Jaye Murray can’t help but be excited

about. For one thing, it’s a bright and welcoming environment, with cheery yellow walls and warm, dark flooring – a far cry from the somewhat dingy digs the facility occupied up until two months ago. But more importantly, it offers those who frequented that former site, located just around the corner on 24 Avenue, something that was hard to come by there: privacy. “Now we can bring the client in, sit down, close the door and find out why they need to come,” Murray said of an enclosed office for registering clients, during a recent tour of the 2343 156 St. facility. In addition to the quiet of the registration office, a layout that situates the distribution centre of the operation at the back of the building means clients also no longer have to line up in plain view for food hampers they likely never expected to need. “It’s hard enough to come to a food bank,” Murray said. “You want to feel respected and comfortable.” Sources’ White Rock/South Surrey Food Bank opened at the new site on July 1, three months after the organization took possession. In addition to giving the program cleaner, safer space, acquiring the new site – which is owned by Sources – removed the uncertainty that comes with being at the mercy of a landlord. A capital campaign to raise funds for the property’s purchase and facility renovations is ❝It’s hard enough to come ongoing. Up-to-date on the effort to a food bank. statistics were not available, You want to feel however, officials have respected and a new suggestion for comfortable.❞ those wanting to help. Dubbed Brunch for Jaye Murray the Bank, it encourages manager individuals to gather friends, co-workers and neighbours for a by-donation brunch, with all proceeds going to support the cause. To get involved, contact Natasha at 604836-1346 or email nraey@sourcesbc.ca Murray couldn’t say enough about how appreciated the funds that have been received to date are. For example, money donated by Vancity

Jaye Murray, manager of Sources’ White Rock/South Surrey Food Bank, at the facility’s new larger site, located at 2343 156 St. last month ($8,000) enabled the purchase of sturdy, easy-to-clean shelving. “In our other location, we had to make do with a lot of things, which is not always clean, not always safe,” Murray said. “This is just fantastic.” She is hopeful that financial targets needed to facilitate the addition of a second floor in the building’s central bay, as well as an elevator, will soon be reached. The second floor is not only critical to connecting all of the different areas of the operation, it is key to having a walk-in cooler installed – a missing piece that has made it impossible to store fresh food. “Without a cooler we’ve been frantic, because we can’t keep anything,” Murray said. Without the second floor, substantial donations of non-perishables that are

expected during October’s annual Halloween for Hunger food drive will present even further challenge. At the moment, non-perishables are being stored “everywhere.” “I don’t know what we’ll do,” Murray said. “We’re packed with our regular stuff now. “Everything sort of hinges on that second floor and the elevator.” Murray said the elevator will also ease in moving stock and improve safety for the food bank’s volunteers, the majority of whom are seniors who currently have to navigate steep sets of stairs. “There’s some big renovations to make the system work properly and they’re not done. Once it’s finished, it’ll be wonderful, it really will.” Other efforts underway include creation of a community garden on idle land behind

the B.C. Ambulance Service building that neighbours the new food bank site. The plan, Murray said, is to build 16 plots, with half for the sole use of growing produce for the food bank. The remaining plots would be available to community residents, on the condition that 10 per cent of what is grown in them be donated to the food bank. A construction day is planned for this Friday (Sept. 13). For more information on that initiative, email deirdre@teamplayconsulting.com, semiahmoofoodnetwork@gmail.com or call 778-891-8948. Donations to the food bank capital campaign – along with food donations – may be dropped off at the 2343 156 St. site between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday to Friday.

Gala fundraises for community policing

Annual event set for Sept. 12

Serge of support for RCMP Semi House hosts picnic Semiahmoo House Society will be holding its 19th-annual Picnic in the Park Sept. 12. The long-running

Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A fundraiser that supports community-policing programs in White Rock and South Surrey takes place tomorrow (Wednesday) at the Morgan Creek Golf Course. Just a few tickets remain for the popular event, but as the area’s population continues to grow, officials say funds raised at the annual Red Serge Reception & Auction are becoming ever-more important. “A lot of people don’t realize that we don’t get any taxation revenue,” Darren Alexander, chair of the Semiahmoo Volunteer Community Police Society, said. “This is the only fundraiser that we have.” The gala – in its 21st year – is the key funding source for nearly two dozen community policing programs, from Business Watch and Speed Watch to mature-driver courses and drug awareness education for young students. Volunteers are at the heart of all of them, and the gala is what enables them to continue operating, generating the funds that purchase the necessary equipment, supplies and other gear. The society also funds training of auxiliary constables. White Rock RCMP Const. Janelle Shoihet agreed aware-

event will kick off at 10 a.m. at Peace Arch Park, 138 Peace Arch Dr., and will include activities, food, music

and dancing. For more information on the event, visit www. semi-house-society. com

The ‘long arm of the law’ draw will return for this year’s event. ness of what the gala supports appears to have declined. In an effort to help change that, she has created and narrated a fourminute YouTube video detailing the various crime-prevention efforts. It is already online and will be shown to gala guests. “Those people you see out in the green jackets… it all comes back to this one event,” Shoihet said of the volunteers. “I think that that link’s really been lost. “If we didn’t have that funding we could do some programs, but certainly not 20 programs like we do now.” This year’s Red Serge gala – doors open at 6:30 p.m. – includes live and silent auctions, tapas, entertainment and the “long arm

Proceeds from the soirée – it grossed $42,000 last year; $55,000 in 2011 – will be split between the White Rock and South Surrey community policing units. Since inception, the gala has raised more than $500,000 for community-policing programs. Alexander said sponsors interested in getting involved may contact him at 778-772-8271. Tickets ($125) are available through the society’s website (www.volunteerpolicing.org) or by calling 604-536-8759 or 604536-8771.

Call Tracey at 604-538-7600 “Volunteering at the Hospice Thrift Store provides an opportunity for me get to know new people and work with people that have the same goal as me: helping people. I find it truly is fun to treasure hunt with the customers as they search for their treasure. Take a break from your routines and come volunteer with us – you’ll love the experience. Come find the U in volunteering at the Hospice Thrift Store.” – Marjorie Taber

Peninsula student has the write stuff Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

A Southridge Student has been named senior runner-up in the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest and largest essay competition. Abby Wellsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; submission to the Royal Commonwealth Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2013 Commonwealth Essay Competition was described by the judging panel as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a genuine, personal entry offering an original approach to the topic of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Are we too riskconscious these days.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? According to Wells, 16, the inspiration

behind her essay topic stemmed from a prompt she received from her English teacher for an in-class assignment focusing on her childhood. After reading her essay, her teacher told her to submit her piece for the competition. In The Little Girl In Me, Wells details her childhood styled like a memoir. She describes a childhood that is much more care-free than what is common nowadays. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we definitely lose a lot of things by being risk-conscious. I know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a part of

growing up, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely a part of your childhood you lose,â&#x20AC;? she said. Upon receiving the news that she had been named the runner-up, Wells said she had almost forgotten about the competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was just so excited,â&#x20AC;? she said. The Grade 12 student also received an invitation to an awards ceremony set for November. Other winners hailed from New Zealand, Guernsey and Hong Kong.

A new search and rescue vessel arrived in the Semiahmoo Peninsula recently and is expected to be launched Sept. 21.

Quicker response time expected

New rescue vessel arrives Search and rescue crews that keep watch over those on the waters of Semiahmoo and Boundary bays are celebrating the arrival of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new fastresponse vessel. The rigidhull inflatable â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â purchased with funds (approximately $320,000) raised in the community over the past six-plus years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; replaces the rescue craft that has carried the crew for more than a dozen years. It will improve search-and-rescue capability, Crescent Beach station leader Spencer Barnes said. The deal for the new vessel was signed in May 2012 and construction got underway two months later. Features include updated technology and shocks. Barnes said the Crescent Beach and Delta RCM-SAR crews are the first to receive

this type of vessel, which also features the latest in marine communications and electronic navigation equipment. Funds for equipment and crew safety gear are all raised in the community, through private and corporate donations, legacies and sponsorships. Some funds hail from B.C. gaming proceeds; the team also hosts annual golf tournaments and a dance to help boost the coffers. Crew members are currently familiarizing themselves with the new Vigilant, which will be officially launched on Sept. 21. Members of the public are invited to the event, set for 10:30 a.m. at the Crescent Marina, 12555 Crescent Rd. For more information on the celebration, email spmrs@telus.net or call 604-290-7321.

Sit and relax with new friends. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take care of everything else.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Proud to be in our 32nd year of serving the Semiahmoo Peninsula Communityâ&#x20AC;?

But earlier this year, the Elgin Park Secondary student decided enough was enough, and has created a pro-social behaviour campaign entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Orange You Glad Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Not A Bully.â&#x20AC;? With help from her tech-savvy grandfather, who has an extensive background in developing software, Glazier is in the process of creating a phone app that would provide an outlet for youth struggling with bullying, depression and other social stigmas.The app also includes short videos featuring doctors from around the province providing information and methods to cope. Glazier says she hopes to launch the app at the end of the month. A childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book discussing the topic of bullying that she has been working on will follow in the coming months, and Glazier said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also working on a partnership with Creative Kids Learning Centres, which wants to be the first local â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Orangeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; school. Earlier this summer, she spent the August long weekend at the Spirit of the Sea festival selling T-shirts and bracelets, and spreading her â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Orangeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; message throughout the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Spirit of the Sea was wonderful,â&#x20AC;? Glazier said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I received a bigger response than I was expecting and the community members were so appreciative of what I was doing as a youth for youth.â&#x20AC;? With two main goals behind her anti-bullying campaign â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the first to teach prosocial behaviour to pre-school and elementary-aged children before they might start engaging in negative, bullying behaviour, and secondly to provide support, and hope for youth who are strugglingÂ â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Glazier said she hopes her efforts can help make a positive impact in many lives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want any other kid, youth or teen to experience what I had to endure,â&#x20AC;? she said. Though her website is still under construction (www.teamorangestrong.com), Glazier plans to launch the site by Sept. 30 in conjunction with her app.

As kids across the Semiahmoo Peninsula get into their back-to-school routines, one topic that is sure to come up in many households over the coming weeks and months is bullying. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a serious issue that can have devastating consequences for victims and their families, and it seems to be the focus of tragic news stories more and more often. But for one White Rock teen â&#x20AC;&#x201C; herself a victim of bullying â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the touchy subject has presented an opportunity to turn a negative into a positive, and spread awareness about an important issue. Paige Glazier, 17, spent several of her younger years dealing with the effects of bullying, even changing schools to escape the cruel taunts from classmates.

The 12th-annual Flamenco Del Mar Festival returns to the Peninsula Sept. 13 and 14 at the Coast Capital Playhouse, featuring guest performances by The Fusionistas and Karen Boothroyd.

Crafts at museum Rock, Paper, Scissors: The Transformative Power of Craft is the title of a new collaborative show presented by Semiahmoo Arts and White Rock Museum and Archives, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Craft Council of B.C. Running at the museum (14970 Marine Dr.) until Oct. 15, the show covers the concept of craft and how it has evolved through the centuries. Semiahmoo Peninsula artists demonstrating the traditions in such media as fibre, metal, wood, ceramic, glass and vellum will be June Bloye, Aryn Bowers, John Butt, Roxanne Charles, Don Fleming, Suzanne Gerard, Elizabeth Glowacki, Don Hutchinson, Colin Hyatt, Lance King, Samantha Knopp, Robert Gary Parkes, Sharon Reay, Anne J. Steves and Diane Zwickel. From 1 to 3 p.m. each Sunday during the exhibition, the museum will also hold workshops and presentations explaining, specific craft traditions. For more details and full schedule of workshops, visit the museum’s website (www.whiterock. museum.bc.ca) or its Facebook page.

Flamenco festival Artistic director and dancer/ choreographer Jill Tunbridge will present the 12th-annual Flamenco del Mar Festival,

Friday, Sept. 13 and Saturday, Sept. 14, 8 p.m. both nights, at Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd. Student dancers and members of the Flamenco del Mar Spanish Dance Company will perform with Tunbridge and guest artists Karen Boothroyd and The Fusionistas in an event intended to celebrate and capture the essence of flamenco. Boothroyd is the flamenco dancer and teacher who is almost singlehandedly responsible for making the Kino Café the home and headquarters for many ‘flamencos’ in Vancouver. The Fusionistas (Stephanie Lafreniere and Katherine Siemens) are a dance troupe who fuse dance and costume from many tribal traditions around the world, including flamenco, belly dance, improvisational tribal style, folkloric and Kathak. Tickets ($25, $20 children and seniors, including fees) are available at the playhouse box office, 604-536-7535 or online at www.wrpctix@uniserve.com

During those two days passersby will be able to observe artists painting ‘plein air’ in various locations, enjoying and reflecting the sights and sounds around them. Art work produced will be judged in a range of categories, with prizes awarded and a concluding exhibit to be held Sept. 29 – and some pieces may also be selected to appear in the White Rock 2015 calendar. Artists interested in participating (registration fee is $20) should contact info@semiahmooarts.com or call 604-5368333.

South Surrey woman to participate in Easter Seals event for her sons

Transforming from a mother to a warrior Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

Leora Shipley knows a thing or two about warriors. Her eldest son, Nathan, was born with severe spastic quadriplegia, limiting the use of his legs and his arms. Despite his disability, the 18-year-old has battled through everything from daily struggles, such as feeding himself breakfast, to a number of major surgeries. Then there’s Shipley, herself. With her husband, Peter, the 44-year-old South Surrey mom has worked hard to create a better quality of life for Nathan and his eight-year-old brother, Jason. “That’s just life. I’ve kind of been a warrior for 18 years for (Nathan), advocating for him and supporting him, taking care of him when he’s recovering from major ❝I felt that my son surgeries. it’s faces everyday And been challenges, like rough,” she huge challenges, said. that most of us “I think don’t have any every person, idea about.❞ when they become a parent, gets a little more fierce. It’s like protecting your babies. Nobody messes with your kid. But when you have a kid who has a disability, and quite a significant one like Nathan does, it’s just that extra bit of fighting and battling.” That inner strength will be the driving force for Shipley next week, when she is set to participate in the Woman 2 Warrior charity obstacle and adventure race, covering five kilometers of trails, track and grass around Burnaby Central Park and Swangard Stadium Sept. 21. The course will feature 12 different obstacles to test strength, agility, balance and the participants’ sense of adventure. “They haven’t even told us what the obstacles are,” Shipley laughed. Shipley’s interest in the race was first piqued in the summer after

idea about. Eating breakfast is a challenge for him every morning. Just holding a spoon and feeding himself is a very big thing,” she said.

“He’s had lots of surgeries. In fact, he has another surgery coming up on the 25th, right after the event. And I just thought, we’ve never accepted from him when he tells us ‘I can’t do that, it’s too hard.’” When both her sons heard about her idea, the duo encouraged Shipley to sign up and start training. “I couldn’t really say I can’t do it, and that it’s really challenging. That probably wouldn’t fly too well.” Funds from the race will help send youth with disabilities to Easter Seals camps in B.C. For Shipley, there couldn’t have been a better cause to raise funds for. The entire family, she said, is grateful for the opportunities provided through the camps for Nathan. And Jason participated in the Easter Seals 24-Hour Relay for the kids this year, raising $600 in two weeks. “It really has been the one thing that has made such an impact on (Nathan’s) life – and his quality of life. It’s something that he looks forward to all year long. Every kid who goes to Easter Seals camp feels the same way, I would think,” she said. “Because it has been so, so beneficial to him I’m doing it.” And, after 18 years of placing her personal needs on the back burner, Shipley said she has been enjoying taking some time to get healthy. Using apps and online resources, Shipley said she is trying to push herself a little each day in order to prepare for the big race. “(The kids) kind of pushed me into it. But you know, I was up for it. I was ready for a challenge. We all needed challenges in our lives, even if you’ve been lucky to never have been challenged by life’s circumstances. “That’s what helps you grow as a person.” For more information on the race, visit www.woman2warrior.ca

Tracey Hazard (above) won all three races over the Labour Day weekend.

It was a clean sweep for South Surrey auto-racing phenom Tracey Hazard this past weekend at the International Conference of Sport Car Clubs (ICSCC) Labour Daze triple-header. The 42-year-old race-car driver qualified first and finished first in all three of her races at the Mission Raceway for the Spec Mazda Miata Championship series, which includes tracks throughout the Pacific Northwest. “It was a shock,” she told Peace Arch News Thursday.

Enjoy crisp, clear sound least once a year. What if it could be even easier to wear a hearing aid? Lyric is the smallest hearing aid available and requires the least maintenance. In fact, many Lyric users forget they’re wearing it until it needs to be replaced. Lyric is a small, deeply placed hearing aid that does not need cleaning or batteries. It stays in place for up to four months after which time it is replaced in office, usually in a few minutes. That’s it. Shower with it, sleep with it, use headphones or talk on the phone normally. Enjoy crisp, clear sound that feels closer to how your natural hearing used to be.
