Surrey Six trial begins in B.C. Supreme Court
Five died ‘to ensure no witnesses’ Sheila Reynolds Black Press
Five of six men executed in a Surrey apartment building in 2007 were killed to ensure there were no witnesses to the murder of a sixth man – and intended target – lead Crown prosecutor Mark Levitz alleged on the opening day of trial for three men charged in the Surrey Six murders. The trial of Cody Rae Haevischer, Matthew
Johnston and Quang Vinh Thang (Michael) Le began Monday before a packed courtroom in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver. They are charged in connection with the Oct. 19, 2007 mass murder of six men in the Balmoral Tower apartment building in North Surrey. Two of the dead – 22-year-old Christopher Mohan of Surrey and 55-year-old Ed Schellenberg of Abbotsford – were innocent
victims, while the four others, Ryan Bartolomeo, Edward Narong and brothers Corey and Michael Lal, were gang members who were known to police to have ties to the drug trade. Schellenberg, 55, was repairing gas fire places in the building on the day of the murders, and Mohan lived in a neighbouring apartment. Haevischer and Johnston both face six first-
degree murder charges in connection with the deaths of all six victims, while Le has one first-degree murder charge related to Corey Lal’s death. All three face a conspiracy-to-kill charge for Corey Lal’s murder. The three accused pleaded not guilty to all of the charges on Monday. In his opening statement, Levitz said Johnston, Le and Haevischer were all part of the i see page 2
Breach of trust
Planner pleads guilty Kevin Diakiw Black Press
A former City of Surrey planner pleaded guilty last week to a charge relating to missing funds at city hall. Akonyu Akolo – who was fired in 2010 – was criminally charged in 2011 after a police investigation. Akolo pleaded guilty in Surrey Provincial Court Thursday to breach of trust by a public officer. He is to be sentenced Nov. 28. Akolo – who worked for the city for 17 years – was in charge Akonyu Akolo of area planning and development for South Surrey. Jack Saran, president of Forge Properties, was the developer who reported Akolo to the city and the police. In 2010, Saran was working to obtain a development permit for Keystone, a 42-townhouse project at 2925 King George Blvd. In a civil suit filed in April 2010, the City of Surrey claimed Akolo conspired to bilk the city out of development fees. The civil allegations have yet to be heard in court.

A collage of Ryan Ashe’s various incarnations – before and after his two decades living on White Rock streets – greeted guests at his service.
Not homeless – White Rock was his home, say street person’s many friends
Remembering the many faces of Ryan Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
The collage of photographs on display at the White Rock Community Centre Friday evening showed a smiling boy, a handsome teenager and a beaming new father. In the mix were five depicting the grufferlooking version of Ryan Ashe that those who call the Semiahmoo Peninsula home – and White Rock, in particular – knew best. Ashe was a familiar presence in White Rock for two decades before his death in August.

And while there have been those who, over his years of living on the city’s streets, avoided eye contact or even crossed the street to dodge him, the 100-plus who turned out to bid a final goodbye Friday said Ashe taught them about important things in life; among them, to be kind and to not judge a book by its cover. “He teach me lots of things,” said Chizue Lister, who got to know Ashe through his regular visits to her Yucca Tree Café for coffee. “Life is simple, life is wonderful.”

Lister described Ashe as someone who was always smiling, with “a very pure heart.” “Lots of people think, poor Ryan. He was happy, honest, proud gentleman,” she said. Ashe’s sister, Orphee Martin, spoke of the brother with whom she once shared a close relationship. Ashe was quite good-looking and popular in his teen years, she said. He held a real estate licence for a time and used to babysit Martin’s young sons, even taking them on work calls with him. i see page 4

I have to see this through: mom i from page 1 Red Scorpions gang whose primary objective was to traffic drugs and gain control over the Lower Mainland’s drug trade. Corey Lal was a rival drug trafficker who was operating on their turf, said Levitz. He said the Balmoral Tower apartment was Lal’s “stash house” where drugs were cooked and large amounts of cash were kept. Jamie Bacon, also a Red Scorpion who is being tried separately in the case, demanded money from Lal, Levitz alleges. When Lal didn’t deliver, the court was told, Bacon and Le ordered Johnston, Haevischer and another man (who cannot be identified under a publication ban) to murder Corey Lal. Levitz said the accused murderers gained entrance to the building through the parkade, using a fob given to Johnston by another gang associate who also lived in the building. Levitz said the evidence would show that the six deceased were found lying in the living room of apartment 1505. They were divided into two groups of three – one with Corey Lal, Narong and Schellenberg, and one with Michal Lal, Bartolomeo and Mohan. All were found side-by-side, face-down, Levitz said, except Michael Lal, and all suffered two or more gunshots to the head. Levitz contended two handguns – a Glock and an Ultrastar – were used in the six murders and there were a total of 19 shots fired. He also argued the victims were forcibly confined and had their heads covered when they were killed and that the evidence will show there was “obvious planning and deliberation” before the shots were fired. Outside court, Mohan’s mother, Eileen, said being in court and hearing new details of her son’s murder is extremely difficult. “I wish I wasn’t here and Christopher was here with me, but I have to see this through,”

she said. In court, the three accused sat side-by-side in separate Plexiglass prisoner boxes. All were well-dressed and listened carefully to the court proceedings. Le took notes. Eileen Mohan sat on the opposite side of the courtroom gallery from the three accused men. “I don’t think they warranted my presence,” she said. “Honestly, I felt they were non-existent.” Members of Schellenberg’s family were also present in court Monday, but did not speak to the media. The trial, being heard by Madam Justice Catherine Wedge, is expected to take as long as one year and involves between eight and nine Crown prosecutors and approximately nine defence lawyers.

History recalled as satellite plans for White Rock, Grandview Heights announced
Kwantlen eyes two Peninsula campuses Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Kwantlen plans to return to White Rock, as well as establish a presence in South Surrey. The news was shared at White Rock City Hall last week, during the first public presentation of Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s strategic plan, Vision 2018. In addition to White Rock and Grandview Heights, plans for KPU include creating space in Sea Island, Delta and Surrey City Centre, university president Alan Davis said. “We are intent with establishing a presence here,” Davis told city council, noting he’s already had conversations to that effect with Mayor Wayne Baldwin and White Rock resident Jim Pelt, KPU’s new executive director
of continuing education. Kwantlen hasn’t had space in White Rock since April 2007, when it left its year-old campus near Johnston Road and Russell Avenue after pulling out of plans to lease 10,600 sq. ft. in Bosa Properties’ Miramar Village. Lack of enrolment was cited for the exit. Kwantlen’s negotiations with Bosa were a subject of controversy, as they factored into a decision by council of the day to grant the developer’s request to add two more floors to its tallest tower. One councillor at the time called Kwantlen’s decision an “embarrassment” for the city. Last week, Coun. Louise Hutchinson touched on the past. “We were really disappointed when it fell
through with having a satellite campus in White Rock,” she said. Hutchinson encouraged Davis, who took over as KPU president a year ago, to consider gearing any future campus in the city to TALK (Third-Age Learning at Kwantlen) programs and international students. Davis noted that upon his arrival from New York – where he had been president at State University’s Empire State College – he received his first welcome in White Rock. At that time, Baldwin challenged him “to do something for White Rock,” he said. Following Davis’s presentation, Baldwin said he is “looking forward to bigger and better things in the future.” Other highlights of Vision 2018 that Davis
named include goals of doubling KPU’s community engagement in five years; boosting student numbers by five per cent annually; ensuring every program includes “real world” learning; and articulating the university’s role in higher education. In response to questions from council, Davis said the percentage of adult learners at KPU is “not as high as it should be”; that the university will likely never become a solely online institution; and that there is “a huge opportunity” for Kwantlen’s Cloverdale campus. At the same time, investment in postsecondary education south of the Fraser is “still woefully short,” Davis said. Davis plans to share KPU’s Vision 2018 with the Surrey Board of Trade Wednesday.

Honey locusts come down after repeated appeals from apartment owners
Differing views after trees felled Sarah Massah Staff Reporter
Nine honey locust trees were removed from city property in White Rock last week, following the recent approval of a contentious application from residents of a Pacific Avenue condo building. But White Rock Coun. Helen Fathers says that the thumbs-up should prompt the city to take a look at its tree policy, which allows residents of such buildings to apply multiple times, but prevents homeowners from making the same request more than once every two years. “Now, there seems to be a glitch in the system, because if you live in an apartment building, you can just keep reapplying. And it shouldn’t really be. So I guess we’re going to have to look at that,” Fathers said Monday. “It should really be one per whole strata unit.” Proponents, however, say the process, while lengthy, was one they were happy with. Residents had complained that the trees, located west of the 15210 Pacific Ave. Ocean Ridge Development, obstructed views and

The killer of 15-year-old Laura Szendrei is to learn his fate on Oct. 18. Because he was under age 18 by a week at the time of the murder, the 20-year-old is considered a youth under the Youth Criminal Justice Act and cannot be named. Szendrei, a student at North Delta’s Burnsview Secondary, died from injuries sustained after a brazen daytime attack on a pathway in near 110 Street and 82 Avenue on Sept. 25, 2010. Her attacker was arrested and charged in February 2011. He pleaded guilty to seconddegree murder last October. Laura Szendrei Several days victim over the past few months were set aside for arguments in Surrey Provincial Court as to whether he should be sentenced as an adult. An adult sentence for second-degree murder is life imprisonment, whereas a youth sentence carries a maximum of seven years, three of which are served in the community. That decision is also expected Oct. 18. The court heard Szendrei died after she was attacked in Mackie Park. Her assailant – unknown to her – tried to render her unconscious. She tried to run, and he struck her head three times with a pipe. It was the killer’s fourth sexmotivated attack in six months – the three others taking place near Burns Bog – the court heard. In the first, he grabbed a woman’s buttocks, in the second he pulled down a runner’s pants, and in the third, he hit a woman in the head with a stick.

Cops campaign through Peninsula portion of event
Cycling to a cure for cancer Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter
More than 20 Cops for Cancer cyclists – most of them waterlogged after a few hours spent in the rain – were greeted to thunderous cheers from hundreds of students at White Rock Christian Academy Friday morning. The Cops for Cancer crew made WRCA its first of six stops Friday, and pedaled into the school’s gym – escorted by a motorcade that included RCMP motorcycles, an ambulance, a motorhome and other support vehicles – to speak for a few minutes with students, delivering a message of good health and cancer awareness. “Cancer is a bully,” said Cops for Cancer member Gord Wiedrick, moments before the cyclists entered the gym. “It’s like a dart – and sometimes it hits you.”
Nick Greenizan photo
Cyclists travel down 152 Street. Prior to the cyclists’ arrival, WRCA students had donated money to the cancer cause. The school held a “no school uniform” day, which gave students the chance to wear their regular clothes in exchange for a $2 donation.
And while the exact number wasn’t yet tallied – some classrooms were still collecting as of Friday morning – WRCA viceprincipal Darryl Deboer estimated the donation at “probably $800 or $900.” “I think that’s what it will be when it’s all said and done,” he said. “It’s been really great.” The riders began their day at the Tong Louie YMCA in Panorama Ridge, and after their brief visit to WRCA, headed to Sunnyside Elementary. Other Friday stops included Peace Arch Elementary, Grandview Corners, Coast Capital Savings in Ocean Park, Applewood Kia and the Bollywood Banquet Hall. The Cops for Cancer Tour de Valley began in Aldergrove and travels through more than a dozen communities before wrapping up in Abbotsford Oct. 4.

International incidents
he furor touched off by a Peace Arch News story about the apparent attitudes of some U.S. Customs and Border Protection members, and their effect on the questioning of Canadian visitors, seems to have taken on a decidedly partisan tone. It’s not surprising there are some Canadians more than willing to take shots at Americans or generalize about our neighbour to the south in the same shallow tone a few online commenters, apparently CBP members, used in describing Canadians in a job-forum website. Nor is it surprising that last week’s article subsequently brought forth a link, in a comment on the same website, to the horrible experience of an American writer at the hands of an overzealous Canadian border-protection officer. Sadly, we can all readily believe such an incident took place – and many more like it that have never been reported. It is likely that many who have travelled have had experiences of bullying and intimidation at border checkpoints throughout the world – and, depending on the borders and tensions involved, to a far more horrific degree than Canadians or Americans are ever likely to receive on either side of our ‘friendly’ dividing line. But the point of the article was not to provoke some Canada-versus-America game of tit for tat. The point was to focus attention on a problem that is truly international. No matter how amicable the border, the relationship can be soured – even subverted – by the actions of a few, with economic and social effects they may never dream of. No one can argue that protecting a border isn’t a challenging job requiring unceasing vigilance. But, by the same token, just about everyone can recognize the difference between earnest diligence and the kind of lip-smacking satisfaction some individuals derive from the exercise of power. Those who abuse this power believe they exist in a world where they can’t be scrutinized like the visitors waiting in line, where complaints can disappear in a bureaucratic sinkhole and supervisors are ready to look the other way. But these same supervisors should recognize – and emphasize through training and instruction – that such behaviour is in no one’s best interest. The real dividing line in this story is not between Americans and Canadians. It is between those doing their duty and those who see fit to redefine their duties to serve a personal, not a national, agenda.

a call to the provincial government to declare B.C. “genetic-engineering free.” The heart of this movement, which has resorted to vandalism in Europe, is hostility towards Monsanto’s “Roundup-ready” seed. Speakers at the municipal convention warned of sinister “corporations” trying to contaminate and control our food supply for profit. The debate pitted hobby farmers against professionals. Peace region grain farmers said such a ban would put them out of business. Others pointed out that the province has no jurisdiction and that scientific decisions shouldn’t be influenced by emotion. The session ended with a classic pseudo-scientific claim. A woman who used to have a couple of bee boxes said someone’s bees died and there was a Roundup-ready canola field next door. Case closed. The misguided “GE-free B.C.” motion was supported by a narrow majority. As it turns out, there are agricultural pesticides that may be harmful to bees. The David Suzuki Foundation is part of an effort to get one of them banned in Canada. The problem is, it’s not Roundup and it’s got nothing to do with genetic engineering. They’re called “neonicotinoids,” because they’re similar to nicotine. Old sheep farmers may recall using a crude version: tobacco soaked in water to kill insects on sheep. It’s ironic that as the “information age” accelerates, our society, overwhelmed by conflicting messages, slips back towards superstition.

Native rights are on record Editor: Re: Racial segregation unacceptable, Sept. 19 letters. The native perspective on Pacific fisheries should be clear to everyone. As Diane Newell points out in her book, Tangled Webs of History, First Nations claim aboriginal title to their fisheries. For thousands of years, natives have lived in distinct communities and harvested fish, especially salmon, which they consumed, traded and used for ceremonies. The Supreme Court of Canada, in R. v. Van der Peet (1996), noted it is that fact “which separates aboriginal peoples from all other minority groups… and mandates their special legal, and now constitutional status.” Moreover, section 35(1) of the Canadian Constitution, 1982, which keys on aboriginal and treaty rights, must be both upheld and given a “generous liberal interpretation,” according to the Supreme Court in R. v. Sparrow (1990). As for traditions, they are important to natives, but not to a slavish extent. Anishinabe lawyer John Borrows argues the adoption of new traditions is integral to the survival of First Nation communities. But don’t discount aboriginal technology; in 1894, in response to charges of overfishing, B.C. fishing regulations were changed to “no Indian shall spear, trap or pen fish.” In the early 1900s, fishery officers destroyed weirs at the Babine, Bulkley, Cowichan and Fraser Rivers. Natives were then given gillnets to work with. And while the commercial right of natives to sell fish is restricted, Canadian courts confirm First Nations can sell their land – something their ancestors never did. This anomaly has never been explained. Native traditions dictate the land and resources must be shared; let’s hope with understanding and mutual respect on all sides. Bob Burgel, Surrey
Opt-out charge out of line Editor: Re: BC Hydro fee ‘outrageous,’ Sept. 24. BC Hydro’s threats of outrageous fees for refusing a wireless smart meter do not stand up, especially in light of how other jurisdictions treat customers who keep analog meters for security or medical reasons. In New Mexico, for example, you just send in your own meter readings once a month – no fees, no intimidation. A payment of $20 will get an analog meter reinstalled in Tucson, then it’s $5 a month if you read your own meter, $10 if you don’t. California’s opt-out fee is also $10 a month, or $5 for low income – and there is no fee in Los Angeles. Nevada charges $8.82 a month, and
Maine utilities would like to charge $12 monthly for keeping an analog meter, but there is a bill before the legislature to eliminate this or any opt-out fees. Smart-meter opt-out is also completely free in Ashland, Ore. and in Hawaii and Vermont. People are speaking up and fees are being eliminated. More people are joining the B.C. smart meter classaction lawsuits. Why should anyone pay to refuse something harmful? A. Churchill, Surrey Q If BC Hydro would have provided proper information in the first place, 99 per cent of the people would not have allowed BC Hydro to install the smart meters. In my opinion, to charge people extra for keeping the same meters is criminal. I am told California owes BC Hydro a billion dollars. Is BC Hydro making us pay California debt? What kind of politicians do we elect that let their people be taken
to the cleaners? If the commission approves this extra burden on BC Hydro customers, then we are really in trouble. I wonder what other hell is there to come? Mary Mikelson, Surrey
An arts town at long last Editor: Finally, the city is putting efforts into making White Rock an arts town worth seeking out. I’m delighted to see all the arts activities planned for the months of September and October – and, I have to say, shocked that the city has hired a full-time cultural arts liaison. We all know that our town is bursting with exceptional artistic talent and, more obviously, that this is the key to making businesses in
the community thrive. If people flock to our town for art, they also spend money in its restaurants and shops. I’m particularly interested in the International Artist Day Festival at the end of October. Our very own Chris MacClure started a holiday years back, Oct. 25, as a day to thank artists for their contribution to society. The holiday has been celebrated in countries all over the world and, for the first time, White Rock will be celebrating, too. That night, the IAD hosts a gala event at the White Rock Community Centre. I originally thought the ticket price of $150 was a bit steep, then I realized the ticket includes a $100-voucher. I can have my pick from more than 100 artists’ works on display. And the best part, the artists will be there to talk to me about it! Let’s hope the community comes together in support of making this town come alive during these months – businesses and residents alike. Janet Neumann, White Rock

The City of White Rock – like other stewards of land – should heed Transport Canada, writes Coun. Larry Robinson.
Not about city choosing its victims Editor: Re: Safety a shared responsibility, Sept. 24 editorial; Mayor ‘will resist’ rail fencing, Sept. 24. The PAN editorial and Mayor Wayne Baldwin’s – and some White Rock councillors’ – bravado towards Transport Canada and its request for safety measures are irresponsibly misplaced. The BNSF rail line goes through land partially leased by the city for parking lots. The language of that lease clearly states the governing body is Transport Canada. The parking lots and promenade are not White Rock land and are not under White Rock legal jurisdiction. On Sept. 6, council received a copy of a letter from Transport Canada regarding the tragic event July 14 (White Rock jogger killed by train, July 16) and the trainwhistle-cessation arrangement that is currently in place. The federal authority notes rail and pedestrian traffic have substantially changed since the existing whistlecessation arrangement was established over 20 years ago. The letter states, in bold type: “Transport Canada requests that the City of White Rock, in conjunction with BNSF, undertake a comprehensive safety review of the crossings currently granted whistle cessation.” Transport Canada expects a copy of the review by Oct. 31. There are no demands for specific safety measures in this letter. The intent is that the city and BNSF collaborate to bring the White Rock pedestrian crossings up to the realities of 2013. Those realities include a greatly increased recreation and tourist pedestrian traffic standing two paces from a rail line now used by a dramatically increasing rail freight carrier. During the last term of council, Transport Canada focused on trees and shrubs between the parking lots and rail line on East Beach that the inspectors deemed an enticement to pedestrians to cross the rail line at random locations. An order was given to the city to remove the landscape elements, or a subsequent order would be for fences to protect the rail line. The trees and shrubs were
immediately, without question, removed. The Semiahmoo First Nation had the same response when they fenced off their property and left openings for people to cross the rail line and access the beach. Those access points were deemed enticements to cross a rail line and are now boldly marked and gated. The power of Transport Canada is unquestionable. Their issue, in this case, is pedestrian rail-line safety. Anita Lewis’s tragic death may have provoked this recent action, but it is not the cause. The city has a duty to provide a safe and clearly defined interface with a very dangerous rail line. A distracted person, an uncontrolled child or a person wishing to do themselves harm do not negate responsibility. Previously, this mayor and council recognized potential traffic hazards to school children, seniors and pedestrians in the Roper Avenue corridor and immediately installed four-way stop signs at Best and Findlay streets. It was preventative safety. There is as great a need for preventative safety beside and crossing the rail line. This is not an adversarial situation against unseen bureaucrats in Ottawa. This is not about the city choosing its victims to justify inaction. This is about the City of White Rock collaborating with BNSF and Transport Canada to provide a safer environment for a sadly predictable and uniquely dangerous rail and citizen environment. Coun. Larry Robinson, White Rock
Timely solution A less-intrusive measure to improve safety is to reduce the speed of the train. What is the chance of getting killed – or killing someone – in a road accident while on the way driving to the waterfront, as compared to the chance of getting killed by a passing train while there?

Referendum dogged by doubts, unresolved questions
Transit vote doomed, mayors warn Jeff Nagel Black Press
Metro Vancouver mayors emerged from their first meeting with new Transportation Minister Todd Stone last week with no deal – or even the makings of one – on how to restructure TransLink or craft a referendum on transitexpansion funding slated for next year. Mayors also expressed frustration Thursday that the province is pushing ahead with a Massey Tunnel replacement bridge that they fear could push back transit as a priority. They object to the premier’s insistence there be a referendum on new taxes for TransLink, fearing it will be defeated at the polls. And they continue to take a stance that TransLink must be reformed to give them more control over spending priorities as a precondition for their active participation in a referendum, if the province insists it go ahead. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said he doesn’t see how the referendum can succeed. “Despite the mayors

Time served after 69 days in custody
Man sentenced for assault
Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
A Surrey man who pleaded guilty to hitting his girlfriend in the face during an altercation outside of a Marine Drive restaurant was sentenced for the crime last week in Surrey Provincial Court. As of last Wednesday, Mandeep Paul Singh Ghangass had been in custody for 69 days. Following a joint submission by lawyers in the case, Judge Michael Hicks ruled that time served was an appropriate penalty. Ghangass, 28, pleaded guilty Aug. 23 to assault and uttering threats, in connection with an incident that was reported to White Rock police on June 3 and an incident July 26 in Surrey. A 30-year-old Delta woman told police she was assaulted by her boyfriend around 11 p.m. June 1. According to a police report, the boyfriend had accused the woman of “checking out other guys.” According to Surrey police, the July 26 incident took place in Cougar Creek Park and
resulted in charges of assault, uttering threats and “intimidate/ provoke/impede justice system participant” against Ghangass, who’d had court-ordered
conditions to not be in contact with her. In addition to time served, Hicks imposed 18 months probation and a lifetime weapons ban on Ghangass.

ON THE SEMIAHMOO PENINSULA
ACTING AS EXECUTOR will), this can be a very time-consuming role. Essentially, the Executor gathers up the estate assets, pays the debts of the deceased, and divides the remaining assets of the estate among the beneficiaries as specified in the Will or as provided for in the Estate Administration Act (to be replaced by the Wills, Estates and Succession Act in March 2014). The first step for an Executor is often making the appropriate funeral arrangements based on the deceased’s known wishes, or that of their close relatives. Credit cards will have to be cancelled and appropriate insurance obtained for real property and automobiles. In order to have legal authority to begin distributing the estate assets, Probate or a Grant of Administration must be obtained from the Courts. This process will commence with notifying all

the potential beneficiaries and submitting the appropriate probate documents to the Court along with a Probate filing fee. The Executor should then contact the Canada Pension Plan in order to obtain any death, survivor, or orphan benefits. Income tax returns must be filed and paid in full. When completed, a tax clearance should be obtained prior to distribution of the estate to the beneficiaries. Once an individual begins the process of dealing with estate assets, they are legally bound to complete the process and can only be relieved of this duty by an order of the Court. Notably, an estates lawyer will often be required to assist the Executor/Administration with performing some or all of the tasks required in settling an estate.

well-being the benefits of alternative medicine Alternative medicine offers an interesting option for taking care of our health, and it can be complimentary to conventional medicine. Considered mainly as a preventative health-care strategy, alternative medicine includes many different approaches based on historical and cultural traditions around the world. You’ve surely heard of massage therapy, reiki, acupuncture, homeopathy or Chinese medicine. These treatments, along with many others, fall into the realm of alternative medicine. Many people believe these methods of caring for our bodies allow us to avoid health problems, largely because of the client-practitioner relationship.

What if we really could turn back the clock on aging? A groundbreaking supplement now has the scientific patent and claim to help you to do just that – at least on the inside. Published in the journal Free Radical Biology & Medicine, this plant-based tablet has been shown to actually slow down the aging process and prevent aging-related disease – like nothing else yet available.
Practitioners often spend much longer in consultation with a patient, and counsel on lifestyle changes that help reduce stress and anxiety, which are known to contribute to chronic illness. The approach taken by alternative-medicine practitioners work to get us more in touch with our own bodies. We learn how to eat better, sleep better, eliminate toxins and take care of ourselves. There are a multitude of alternative medicines, each with their own way of responding to an essential need within the body. A quick phone call to a practitioner will help you discover the benefits of that approach.

a feeling of
well-being accessible to all The benefits of massotherapy are numerous. As well as relaxing muscular tensions, this technique also improves blood and lymphatic circulation, relieves stress and slows down signs of aging. Even better, regular massages improve skin irrigation, facial lymphatic oedemas disappear and worry lines fade away. Massages are great for the ego! Those who are unhappy with their bodies or the effects of aging due to the passing years or workplace stress should try massotherapy. Sure enough, massages send a clear message to the body and can correct poor posture or improve the appearance of the skin and muscles by enhancing blood circulation. Numerous massage techniques exist: compression, vibration, friction as well as kneading of the muscles and the skin of the human body. To these can be added passive or active movements which aim at activating or awakening the latent energy of the body. The benefits to the body and mind are numerous as touch is directly related to the nervous system. During manual manipulation, stressed nerves relax. To succeed, the masseur uses proven techniques to act on the psychic equilibrium of the client to smooth arthritic pain and relax muscular tension. For a massage to energize you, you must put all the chances on your side. Discuss your expectations with the masseur or masseuse and prepare yourself for calm and relaxation.

take care of your
immune system Do you feel as if you’re coming down with the flu? Keeping your immune system in top shape is essential if you want to fight infections and stay healthy. An unbalanced diet, in quantity or quality, is one of the major causes of immune deficiency. A sedentary lifestyle, or the opposite, overexertion, are also likely to harm the body and cause it to be more vulnerable to many infectious diseases. Lack of sleep and the presence of stress are other factors that can weigh in. Exposure to atmospheric pollutants outdoors and as well as indoors, where it’s easy to find things such as tobacco smoke and mould, should be avoided as much as possible. So should the kind of toxins that are caused by excessive use of cleaning products.

How do you re-energize yourself while burning off some calories? The answer is simple: get moving! Playing a sport is a sure way of staying in shape, as it will burn fat reserves, increase the body’s metabolic rate and help to keep your body trim. Regular exercise also helps to regulate appetite and contributes to general good health. But if you’re not a fan of sports, there are many other activities that, at first glance, seem insignificant, but can make a big difference to your physical well-being. These include playing actively with your children, gardening, dancing and even shopping. Not to mention the unavoidable task of housework. Boring? Not if you turn it into an intense workout. By using your entire body, housecleaning activities can burn as many calories as going for a walk – as long as you put your heart into it. If you find yourself having a hard time staying motivated to do something physical each day, try pairing up with a buddy who can help encourage you to keep working. Lastly, to use your time efficiently, try to be active on a regular basis. By combining several different activities, you can help to develop different muscles in your body. Perhaps most important is to find activities that you enjoy. Whether it’s hiking with your family, swimming lengths at your local pool or dancing up a storm in your living room, having fun is an important aspect of getting fit. You’re far less likely to embrace a fitness regime if you find it boring or repetitive.

awareness standing strong for all
the women in our lives With the wealth of health-oriented information availabile on the Internet, it can be all too easy to confuse reliable, scientific information with unfounded claims of danger. Here are a few breast cancer myths debunked:
Silhouette is committed Fashionable to helping scarves & caps by cancer patients reshape their lives.
MYTH: Wearing an underwire bra can cause breast cancer. FACT: The Canadian Cancer Society reports that there is no reliable scientific evidence to support this claim.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month Special Offer:
Purchase 1 mastectomy Bra at regular price and receive a second at 50% off Silhouette carries a wide range of cancer recovery produc products cts iincluding ncluding prosthetics, mastectomy bras, shapers, balancers, scarves, caps, workout wear, bathing suits, sleepwear and camisoles all custom fit by our experienced staff.
HIGH STREET #8-2970 King George Blvd. Surrey 604.541.1007 SilhouetteFineLingerie.com
MYTH: Using underarm deodorant or antiperspirant causes breast cancer. FACT: Several scientific studies have examined this assertion and have disproved any conclusive links at this time. When going for a mammogram, however, women are asked not to use an underarm product containing aluminum, which might lead to inaccurate screening results. MYTH: Radiation emitted during a mammography can increase one’s chances of developing breast cancer. FACT: Mammography technology uses only small, safe amounts of radiation. The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation affirms that it would take exposure of at least 100 times stronger than what is used in a mammogram to pose the kind of risk that outweighs the benefits. MYTH: Abortion and miscarriage are risk factors in developing breast cancer. FACT: Scientific findings supported by a wide range of medical and health organizations are conclusive that neither spontaneous abortion (miscarriage) nor induced abortion are linked with breast cancer. The most important fact of all is that early detection saves lives: the Canadian Cancer Society recommends an early detection plan of regular breast self-examinations, mammograms every two years for women between 50 and 69, and clinical breast examinations for all women every two years.

Found cat on the mend An abandoned Siamese cat is on his way toward rehabilitation and will soon be looking for a home. The light-cream coloured house cat was discovered in Municipal Nature Park in Langley Township on Sept. 21 and was taken to Critter Care Wildlife Society, which cared for him until a no-kill cat shelter, Canadian Animal Rescue and Extended Shelter (CARES), could pick him up. According to the shelter, the cat’s microchip showed that his original owner lived in White Rock.

A Siamese cat that will soon be adoptable. However, she had since given the cat, along with a second feline, to a friend. The friend then left the cats in the Langley park, according to the shelter. “Instead of choosing
one of many decent and humane options… this man drove them from White Rock to a little-known park in the Township of Langley… and left them in the woods,” a release stated. Despite being extremely hungry, the Siamese cat is now back on track to be rehomed. However, his female sibling is still missing. If anyone has picked her up, they are asked to call CARES at 604-5325632 or Angela at 604773-0324. When both are located and restored back to health, they will be available for adoption through the CARES website.

Access to Surrey Memorial altered
ER opens, parking changes The new ER at Surrey Memorial Hospital opens its doors today (Tuesday) and, along with improvements to the inside of the hospital, things will be different on the outside as well. There will be significant changes to how people access the new site and where they can park. As of 7:30 a.m. on Oct. 1, access to the former ER entry from 96 Avenue will no longer be available. Instead, people will need to use one of two new entryways to access the Guru Nanak Emergency Services front entrance: • Use the new King George access if driving north on King George Boulevard. • Use the new 94A Avenue access if driving south on King George Boulevard or along 96 Avenue. The new ER and pediatric emergency centre are located on the west side of SMH (13750 96 Avenue), on Level 1 of the Critical Care Tower, which is slated to open next year. Parking is also changing on Oct. 1.: • A new Critical Care Tower underground public parkade opens below the ER with 220 stalls. • The 425-stall north parkade

Surrey Eagles goaltender Victor Adamo makes a stop on Vernon Vipers forward Logan Mick during Friday night’s game at South Surrey Arena. Vernon won the contest 4-1.
Former Eagle Mason Blacklock scores twice to ruin banner-raising night
Eagles split showdown with Vipers Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
On the night the Surrey Eagles raised their championship banner, they got burned by a player they dealt away just before their title run. Mason Blacklock – whom the Eagles traded to Vernon last January in exchange for Adam Tambellini – scored twice in the third period Friday at South Surrey Arena, to lead the Vernon Vipers to a 4-1 win. Vernon went up 1-0 on the home team before some fans even found their seats – Mark Hamilton beat Victor Adamo just 1:33 into the game. In the second, the Vipers extended the
lead to 2-0 on a Dexter Dancs power-play goal, before Surrey captain Brett Mulcahy cut the lead to 2-1 midway through the third period when he deposited a rebound – from a Colton Mackie shot – past Vernon netminder Austin Smith. But with the Eagles pressing for the equalizer, Blacklock, a Semiahmoo Minor Hockey Association alum, went to work, scoring twice in the final five minutes, his second goal coming shorthanded. “I didn’t think we played that badly, but we had some (defensive) zone breakdowns, things we have to fix,” said Eagles head coach Peter Schaefer. In the rematch Saturday in Vernon,
Banner raising Prior to puck-drop Friday, the Eagles raised banners to the rafters of South Surrey Arena, commemorating their successes of the 2012-13 season. One banner marked the team’s BCHL regularseason title, while another was raised in honour of the team’s Fred Page Cup playoff title – the fourth in team history and the first since the 2004/05 season. Schaefer’s crew was better – offensively, at least – and managed to outgun the Vipers 7-4, though the score was skewed slightly
by two late empty-net goals. The first period was an offensive slugfest, as the Vipers scored twice in the first seven minutes – Michael McNicholas and Blacklock lit the lamp – before Surrey responded with three straight goals. Jonah Renouf and Nic Pierog scored power-play goals two minutes apart, and Ryan Fraser-Lee scored at even strength before the first intermission. In the second period, McNicholas and Renouf traded goals, and the third opened with former Eagle Demico Hannoun – who was dealt to Vernon in the off-season to complete the Tambellini trade – scoring just i see page 30

Championship banners raised i from page 29 1:25 into the period to make it 5-4. With the Vernon net empty, Surrey’s Mitchell Fyffe and Pierog scored shorthanded empty-net goals to secure the win. And though the victory salvaged the weekend for the Eagles, Schaefer insisted there was plenty to work on still, and his team wouldn’t be able to outscore its problems later in the season. “It’s nice to score seven goals, so for now, it’s good, but later in the season, you really need to play playoffstyle hockey,” he said. “We have to work on our defensive-zone play, for sure.” In an effort to shore up that part of the team’s game, Schaefer has made a handful of roster moves in the last week. Late last month, he brought in defenceman Phillipe Johansson, a late cut of the United States Hockey League’s Tri-City Storm. And prior to the two-game set with Vernon, Surrey picked up 19-yearold blue-liner Kale Bennett, also from the USHL, and forward Alex Whitwarm, who was cut loose by the Western Hockey League’s Spokane Chiefs last week. To make room on the roster, a pair of players, Kade Pilton and Brayden Park –
both of whom had been suspended by the club – were released. Pilton, acquired in the off-season, had refused to report to the South Surrey BCHL team, and is now playing Junior B on Vancouver Island. Park left the Eagles last month and returned home to Saskatchewan. Schaefer said his efforts to bolster his young blue line are not finished – he hopes to add another veteran player this week.

Hundreds run Surrey race
Couple claim marathon title Kevin Diakiw Black Press
A husband-and-wife team from Coquitlam won the Surrey International World Music Marathon this year. Tatsuya Hatachi was the top finisher in the mens’ division of the race, clocking a time of 2:47:18, and his wife, Rika, came in a short 12 minutes behind him (2:59:41) to take first place among the women. Race organizer Elizabeth Model said she saw the two running, and describes them as extremely fast and efficient runners. She saw Tatsuya about half way into the race and thought “if he keeps up like that, he’s going to win.” He didn’t let up, and took first prize. A half marathon and a Mayor’s 5K – led by Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts –were also held. Other results were: Top Men: • Tatsuya Hatachi, Coquitlam – 2:47:18; • David Papineau, Vancouver – 2:59:21; • Hans-Eric Zimmerling, Langley – 3:00:36 Top Women: • Rika Hatachi, Coquitlam – 2:59:41;
• Kendra Braun, Langley – 3:11:57; • Erin Nestmann, Delta – 3:23:40
Half Marathon Top Men: • David Jackson, Abbotsford – 1:11:14; • Drew Nicholson, Surrey – 1:14:55; • Nicholas Browne, Vancouver – 1:17:30 Top Women: • Lucy Smith, Sidney – 1:20:32; • Suzanne Evans, New Westminster – 1:24:45 • Karen Warrendorf, Vancouver – 1:31:37 Model said numbers were a bit down this year, in part to the weather, and in part to the increasing choice of runs out there (Vancouver Marathon’s numbers were also down). The exact number of runners in all the events hasn’t been tallied yet, but Model is happy with the turnout. “We’re thrilled with the results of this year’s event – everything from the incredible athleticism of our elite runners, to the expanded entertainment along our brand new route, to the outstanding support we received from our volunteers,” Model said.

LINDSAY, Leonard (Dude) b.1927 Passed away in the loving arms of his family on Sept. 23, at Peace Arch Hospital, White Rock. Predeceased by wife, Lois. Survived by daughters, Donna (Mardon) Chidlow and Sharilyn Lindsay, brother-inlaw, Ron Fisher and family of Victoria, nephews Paul (Laura) Lindsay of California and Lionel (Lucille) Chambers of Abbotsford. He grew up in Port Coquitlam where he was an avid soccer player. He joined the Army in 1944 and met Lois, the love of his life, in Saskatoon, where they married in 1948. He worked as foreman for Dept. of Highways in Port Coquitlam until transferred to Cloverdale in 1961, making White Rock his permanent home. His life will not be measured in years, awards or monetary gains, but rather in the amount of love, laughter and integrity he always shared with family, co-workers, caregivers and everyone he met. Thank you to Dr. A. BenitezGomez and the staff at the Residence at Morgan Heights. No Service by request. Donations can be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation.

Nissan shows autonomous cars as almost here Story and photos by Jim Robinson Metroland Media NEWPORT BEACH, CA: It’s my wife’s dream come true – a car that does the driving instead of me. No more stabbing at a phantom brake pedal on the passenger side or digging fingernails into the seat. We could both just sit in the back seat and let the car do the driving if we owned something like the Nissan Autonomous Leaf sedan. Entering a four-way stop, the Leaf looks out through its lasers and cameras and decides when to go through. Or imagine driving along a highway at speed and finding the lane in front of you is closed. If you were in a Nissan Leaf electric car with self-drive technology, it would see the problem and start to steer into the next lane while monitoring the traffic around you to order to make sure your move is safe one. It’s all a part of the Nissan Safety Shield, which was shown for the first time at the Nissan 360 global conference staged in southern California. Nissan sees its future as producing “zero emission, zero fatality” vehicles. In fact it is the core goal of the Nissan 360 initiative. The Leaf is an all-electric car, so there is no exhaust. At the same time, Nissan research has shown their vehicles are so strong they’ve seen 50 per cent fewer fatalities already. The next step is lower that remainder by another 50 cent by 2020. At the conference, I was able to ride in the Autonomous Leaf in a closed course that mimicked real world experiences. One really novel exercise involved getting out of the car and hitting the “self park” button on the fob and watch the Leaf as it sought out an empty spot in a line of cars, stop and survey the spot and then neatly back in. Driving along with no hands on the wheel or feet on the gas or brake, the Leaf cruised along at 65 mph until it “saw” a 45 mph sign and slowed down. Approaching a stop sign, it did just that.
When a traffic light turned red, the Leaf came to a stop. When it turned green, the Leaf accelerated up to the posted speed limit and stayed there. Laser ranging, camera adaptive cruise, 360-degree view and self-parking are technologies that already exist. What Nissan has done is put them all together with two advances on these technologies that bring us nearer to the autonomous car. The first is advanced laser scanners/sensors and Around View Monitor cameras. It is tasked with searching for obstacles, other vehicles and potential risks and that includes road warning signs and signals. The second endows the Leaf with the ability to react to the data the advanced sensors collect. Combined, they make it possible for the Leaf to handle complex real-world road situations such as autonomous side distance control, intersection entry and turning with oncoming traffic monitor and overtaking with oncoming traffic monitor. Side distance control is the aforementioned lane closure scenario in which the Leaf “sees” when a lane is closed due to obstacles narrowing the travel path and helps steer to avoid a collision. Intersection entry/turn with oncoming traffic monitor is an application for city driving that helps the driver thread through a clogged intersection. Or when the Leaf spots a parked car at the side of the road it will check for a gap in oncoming traffic and steer around the obstacle when it is safe to proceed. There is a lot more to Safety Shield. It also includes existing driver support systems such as Around View Monitor, Back-up Collision Intervention, Lane Departure Prevention and Distance Control Assist. In short, Safety Shield monitors 360 degrees around the car for risks, offers warnings to the driver and takes action to prevent an accident.
A car that can drive itself is already here in the form of the Nissan Autonomous Leaf demonstrated and the global Nissan 360 conference held in southern California. The two new technologies bolster the capability to detect and avoid a potential risk from an early stage, before the situation becomes critical, based Nissan’s idea that cars should help protect people. Now I don’t know how well the laser projects through rain or the cameras work when they are caked with salt and slush in winter, which all have to be worked out. The day when we all will be in autonomous cars and trucks is years away. But from what I saw, it’s a lot closer then we think.
Look ma, no hands or feet either. In this photo the Nissan Autonomous Leaf is moving at 65 mph with a Nissan engineer at the wheels with no hands on the wheel of feet on the pedal.
