A seemingly contemplative panda gazes towards White Rock pier during a break from entertaining crowds along the waterfront, which was adorned with hundreds of glowing Chinese lanterns. The figure was spotted along the shorelines last weekend as part of the city’s first Moon Festival, organized in conjunction with the White Rock Chinese Arts Centre.
Elected officials differ on proposed changes to their remuneration
City staff urge council pay bumps Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
White Rock staff say a review of politicians’ salaries has determined the city’s elected officials are not adequately paid compared to their peers in similar-sized municipalities. And while they’re proposing a pay boost to take effect as soon as council signs off – including a 20 per cent jump in the
mayor’s salary alone – opinions are mixed as to whether the amount of the increase is appropriate and just when it should kick in, if at all. For Coun. Helen Fathers, the main issue is the percentage difference between the mayor’s and councillors’ pay – an issue that is not specifically addressed by changes staff proposed in an Oct. 7 report to the governance and legislation committee.
Coun. Al Campbell agreed the matter is also about percentages, as well as a recognition that the job entails significantly more work than it has in the past. “We don’t have a big population, but we have a lot going on,” he said. At the same time, it’s more about the inequity between the two rates than the actual pay received, he said. i see page 2
International reports of a murder-for-hire that allegedly targeted an unidentified White Rock family man have flooded the Internet. But the widely reported story has not prompted many calls to the seaside city’s police detachment. Staff Sgt. Lesli Roseberry told Peace Arch News that local RCMP officers did not have any requests from the FBI for their cooperation in the investigation that led to Wednesday’s arrest in San Francisco of a man suspected of masterminding an anonymous online empire – entitled Silk Road – where everything from illicit drugs and weapons to fake IDs could be purchased. In addition to running the underground Internet marketplace, the 29-yearold is accused by the FBI of trying to hire someone to kill a local site user by the name of Friendly- Ross Ulbricht Chemist last spring. The conspiracy charge alleged target had reportedly threatened to reveal the identities of thousands of other users unless he was paid $500,000. “If they conducted an investigation, it was done without our local assets, that’s for sure,” Roseberry said last week. While the execution was reportedly confirmed to the accused, Roseberry said White Rock has been murder-free for years. “We haven’t had any sort of homicide files in at least over a decade, and we have no outstanding missing-person files,” she said. Aside from PAN’s inquiry, the detachment had, as of Thursday afternoon, received one media call since word of the arrest broke. “All the fellow asked apparently (was), ‘have you had any homicides there?’ and (the sergeant) said ‘no, not in over a decade.’ That was the extent of the conversation,” Roseberry said. According to U.S. court files, Ross William Ulbricht – a.k.a. Dread Pirate Roberts – is charged with conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance, attempted witness murder, use of interstate commerce facilities in commission of murder-for-hire and aiding and abetting.

You know pay going in: Meyer i from page 1 “The dollar value means nothing to me, it’s the percentages,” Campbell said. “It really shouldn’t be about the pay package.” Council members sitting as the governance and legislation committee voted unanimously in March to have staff review their remuneration and how it is calculated. The current formula – determined in 2007 – sets councillor wages at “40 per cent of the estimated average White Rock earnings for the current year,” and the mayor’s pay at 90 per cent of the average wage. After comparing the rates to those in Pitt Meadows, Port Moody and the City of Langley, staff recommend the mayor’s pay be increased to $72,240 (from $59,810) and councillors’ pay to $27,210 (from $26,580) – the average of elected officials in those cities. While Mayor Wayne Baldwin said he was “a little bit surprised” by the jump proposed for his position, he doesn’t have any qualms. “I hadn’t realized how far that we’d gotten away from what the norm for other municipalities was,” he said, noting the formula used in White Rock is unique and no longer valid, due to changes to census reporting. Regardless, he does not agree that council-
lors should be getting two-thirds of what the mayor does. He described the notion as “way out of line with anybody.” Most municipalities determine their politicians’ pay by comparison and changes to the Consumer Price Index, he said. He said the bigger question with any such increase is the timing of its implementation. “It’s a tough position to be in,” Baldwin said. “On the other hand, if you don’t deal with it, it leaves a bigger bomb for the next council.” Fathers said the current councillor pay doesn’t justify what the job entails, and could influence the decision of future council hopefuls come election time. “I just don’t think that 40 per cent… is really justifying really what a councillor does,” she said. “How are we ever going to attract different types of people into being a councillor, because really, you have to be in a position that you can afford to be a councillor?” Coun. Grant Meyer maintained he would not support any increase to council pay, noting those who seek election know at the time what kind of compensation is offered. “Some weeks it is a lot of hours of work, but you know that going in, and if you don’t like it, you don’t run in three years’ time.”

‘Potentially biased information’ in handling of two questions, review panel says
Complaint over Hiebert poll dismissed Alex Browne Staff Reporter
A Canadian Labour Congress complaint against a research poll – which has been cited by MP Russ Hiebert as proof the majority of Canadians support his controversial bill calling for extensive public disclosure of labour unions’ financial transactions – has been dismissed. A Marketing Research and Intelligence Association review panel found last week that the 2011 poll, by Ottawa-based Nanos Research, did not violate association standards.
The MRIA review found, however, that Nanos’ handling of two questions in the poll – paid for by Canadian Labour Watch Association, a Vancouver organization partly funded by non-union construction companies – had released “potentially biased information” on public attitudes to the South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale MP’s proposed legislation. The CLC had charged that the poll had brought “discredit” to the polling profession, noting – along with two Saskatchewan academics – that answers from one question, which contradicted the poll findings,
had been withheld. In response to the CLC charges, Nanos said the answers to the specific question were left out because it had determined the question itself was flawed. The poll results, as published by Nanos, indicated the Canadian public supported Hiebert’s bill, C-377, by a wide margin. Hiebert spokesman Peter Stock said Monday that while he had not seen the MRIA ruling, it was “clear there is public support for the bill – we’ve had that feedback at all of our offices.” Stock noted the specific question the CLC had raised concerns about in its complaint
was “not the question we’ve been using as evidence of support for C-377.” He said that even if there had been any procedural flaws in the poll, the evidence of public support for such a bill is consistent with earlier polling on the subject. Hiebert’s bill is to return to the Senate for reconsideration this month. Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s decision to prorogue Parliament has returned the bill to its original form, nullifying extensive amendments made by the Senate in June, which Hiebert claimed, at the time, had “gutted” his bill.
Artists honoured
Treasured by Surrey Sheila Reynolds Black Press
She’s known as the Queen of Props, and tonight (Tuesday) at Surrey Arts Centre, Maxine Howchin will be among this year’s recipients of a Surrey Civic Treasures award. It’s the 10th year of the Business and the Arts reception and the sixth year of the civic treasure awards. The awards were established in 2008 to honour citizens who reflect the unique character and history of Surrey or help build appreciation of the city’s culture. Howchin, a longtime advocate of the arts and volunteer with Fraser Valley Gilbert and Sullivan Society (managing props), has lived in Surrey since she was a child. She is vice-president of the Arts Council of Surrey, a tap dancer and spends many an hour volunteering. She is one of four citizens receiving a civic treasure award this year. The others are Kelly Konno, Ellie King and Patricia Dahlquist. Konno is creator of the 2010 Olympics Celebration Dance team. She is the owner and director of Triple Threat Dance Connection and was a choreographer for Janet Jackson. King is founder of the Royal Canadian Theatre Company, which stages a traditional British pantomime each winter. She’s an acclaimed actor and teaches performing arts. Dahlquist is a Juno-award-winning singer and co-founder of the Young Peoples’ Opera Society of B.C. The celebrated librettist is also an actor, vocal coach and theatre teacher.

More than 1,150 participants took to the track, completing either one or five kilometres at the first-ever CIBC Run for the Cure held at Bear Creek Park on Sunday. The event raised nearly $180,000 for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation of BC/Yukon. Nationally, this year’s run brought in $27 million, which will go towards finding a cure for the deadly disease.
Surrey Six trial hears from woman who was in parkade prior to murders
Witness testifies seeing angry men Sheila Reynolds Black Press
She was leaving a Bible study session at a friend’s Surrey apartment on Oct. 19, 2007 when she saw the vehicle: a shiny black BMW with a chrome front bumper. There were two men inside, Helen Lee testified on Monday during the second week of the Surrey Six trial, and when they got out, she saw they were both wearing jackets with hoods covering their faces and leather gloves. A third man was holding a door nearby. Lee had gone to the Balmoral Tower apartment building in North Surrey that morning with her young son to get together with a group of women. Speaking through a Korean interpreter, Lee testified she was leaving the apartment at about 2:25 p.m. when she saw the BMW “stalled” in the parkade, as if it was going to park. She stood with her son for about 20 seconds, waiting for the vehicle to move, and when it didn’t, they began walking. Suddenly, the car backed up and parked. She was “stunned,” she said,
because she and her son were almost hit. Then, testified Lee, she saw the expressions of the two men in the front seat of the BMW. “They seemed very angry,” Lee said. She was frightened and ran to her car. The two men in the BMW, one of them tall and one shorter, she said, got out of the car while a third – she wasn’t sure where he came from – held a door in the parking garage, as if waiting for people to go in and out. Lee was testifying this week at the trial of Cody Rae Haevischer, Matthew Johnston and Quang Vinh Thang (Michael) Le, who are all facing first-degree murder and conspiracy to murder charges. They pleaded not guilty on Day 1 of the trial, Sept. 30. During the opening of the trial last week, the Crown alleged two of the three that are on trial went to the Balmoral apartment to kill one man, but six ended up dead that day. The Crown’s theory is that Corey Lal, a drug dealer, was targeted by rival gang members and that his brother, Michael, as well as Eddie Narong, Ryan Bartolomeo, gasfitter Ed Schel-
lenberg and Balmoral resident Christopher Mohan, were murdered to eliminate witnesses. It’s alleged Jamie Bacon (who will be tried separately at a later date) and Le ordered Haevischer, Johnston and another person who cannot be named to murder Corey Lal. The Crown alleges Haevischer, Johnston and another man took a BMW matching the description of Haevischer’s car to the Balmoral on the day of the murders. The Crown believes the murders took place at about 2:40 p.m. Following the shootings, it’s alleged, the accused went to a nearby apartment where Haevischer lived with his girlfriend. The accused, prosecutors theorize, changed and destroyed their clothes, then boiled a bag of cellphones. Haevischer then had someone take his BMW for cleaning, the Crown said. Testifying Monday morning, Lee said that when she got into her car, she phoned the studysession host to tell her there were strange men in her building’s parkade. She told her to warn another woman to wait awhile before leaving. The trial is expected to last a year.

Tourism revisited
T
o some, the White Rock Business Improvement Association’s apparently sudden decision to withdraw a significant amount of its tourism spending – including $20,000 in base funding for Tourism White Rock – might smack of an organization ‘cutting off its nose to spite its face.’ For a seaside community like White Rock, blessed with an abundance of natural wonders to offset a shortage of revenue-producing land, tourism would seem to be a motherhood issue – a crucial component of any business strategy. Tourism White Rock was formed primarily to create opportunities for the business community, after all. But the BIA, it should be noted, is not yanking the rug from under all tourist-oriented activities. While saving some $48,000 in directly tourism-related costs, it’s still kicking in an estimated $90,000 to specific Tourism White Rock projects. BIA president Jack Sixsmith has also affirmed that Tourism White Rock will “continue to be a very important part” of BIA strategy. The cutbacks, he avers, are all about fiscal responsibility – easy to appreciate in the current economy – part of some $95,000 in identified savings the BIA says it hopes to channel into other initiatives. It’s hard not to read some censure of Tourism White Rock in the decision, however, or sense some underlying schism behind the surprise announcement. In addition to the $20,000 in base funding, the cuts target an $8,000 contract for a tourism website and a tourism billboard near the border that represents another $20,000 per year (closer to $40,000 if the cost isn’t shared by the city, as it has been since the billboard was erected 18 months ago). The clear implication is that the BIA considers other, as yet unspecified, initiatives more costeffective than these annual expenditures. As with all marketing campaigns, effectiveness depends on prolonged public exposure and is hard to gauge over the short term. Even a well-judged campaign that correctly identifies and engages its market may not translate to an instant spike in business. The tourism billboard may, in fact, have been doing its job – promoting an alternative for travellers that may take several seasons to insinuate itself into vacation planning. It’s clear from comments on all sides of the issue that everyone believes promoting tourism is in the best interests of White Rock. For the good of the city, one can only hope this unity of attitude will soon be manifest in a unity of approach.

convention, after years of warnings that federal licences were scattered at unknown locations, often used as fronts for larger grow-ops. Mission Coun. Dave Hensman predicted that when a grower gets a letter cancelling his licence, he’s more likely to roll up a big joint with it than to shut down. Burnaby Coun. Nick Volkow suggested the response would echo an old Cheech and Chong routine: “Dave’s not here, man.” Here’s another reason not to support Larsen: the conduct of his organizers. One fellow set up a petition table at, of all places, the Terry Fox Hometown Run in Port Coquitlam. After scrawling “pot cures cancer” on the table, he proceeded to interrupt speeches by cancer survivors and the run itself by yelling the same false slogan. You can imagine how people with terminal cancer and their loved ones would react. Some would know that marijuana may alleviate side effects of chemotherapy, just as it can ease suffering for some multiple sclerosis patients. But the suggestion of a cure is as cruel as it is moronic. Larsen’s “cannibus” has been rolling around B.C., reaping uncritical media coverage. It even blundered into the recent Walk for Reconciliation in Vancouver, an event to mark the end of federal hearings into the effects of residential schools on aboriginal children. I wouldn’t support the Larsen bunch for anything, unless it involved them looking for jobs. Just say no. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Readers react to Robinson
City lacking the will, humanity
Editor: Re: Not about city choosing its victims, Oct. 1 letter. One wonders what White Rock Coun. Larry Robinson hopes to gain by publicly berating the mayor and some fellow councillors for their comments on rail safety. Why doesn’t he put his energies into working with the mayor and council to come up with a plan to improve the safety of our waterfront? This should not be about scoring brownie points and serving selfinterest before the next election. It makes his future plans all too obvious. And, by the way, has he ever looked at the writing on those tanker cars indicating their contents? It makes the coal-dust argument appear minuscule. I suggest that council examine all the facets of this issue, not just beach access. As a former Transport Canada employee, I can Larry Robinson assure you that councillor while they make the final decision, public and municipal government input is always welcomed. Simon Bergen-Henengouwen, White Rock Q White Rock Coun. Larry Robinson confirmed in his Oct. 1 letter to the editor that “the parking lots and promenade are not White Rock land and are not under White Rock legal jurisdiction.” In the Sept. 17 Peace Arch News, Robinson stated council “looked like idiots” by changing their minds on the usage of the church adjacent to city hall (Robinson drops call, maintains criticism). Yet, this is the same Larry Robinson who put his hand up, at the November 2011 all-candidates meeting in favour of allowing the estimated 40 per cent of White Rock residents who own dogs to walk their dogs on the Promenade. In fact, five of the current seven council members were in favour of allowing residents to walk their dogs on the Promenade – at least in fall and winter – yet only Coun. Helen Fathers was still in favour after being elected. So why did council include banning dogs on the Promenade in their recent Bylaw 2000, when they do not have the jurisdiction, according to Robinson? If Robinson is worried about “looking like an idiot,” perhaps he should review his own actions. In the meantime, enjoy walking your dog on the Promenade. Don’t forget to pick up after them! M. Armstrong, White Rock (Editor’s note: While the Promenade is BNSF property, the City of White Rock – as lessee of the public space – is tasked to regulate users’ conduct and has prohibited dogs there.)
Last month, Surrey city council presented a resolution to the Union of B.C. Municipalities regarding the tethering of dogs in B.C. This resolution was in a response to a presentation in April 2012, by the Campaign for Animal Rights Legislation (CARL), asking for a tethering ban or a one-hour time limit on tethering. Such bylaws are currently in place in Burnaby, New West, Lion’s Bay, Richmond, Victoria and Calgary, and which will soon be enacted in Langley, Abbotsford, Chilliwack and Mission. During the presentation, I and Marlene Keefe informed Mayor Watts and her councillors that the PCA Act did not protect dogs from the cruelty of tethering, as it required an assessment of distress – which remains undefined in the Act and has proven unenforceable. Marcie Moriarty, of the BC SPCA, also informed Surrey city council that only time-limited tethering legislation would be enforceable (Surrey to revise anti-tethering
proposal, Sept 5). Despite these pleas, and to the great dismay of animal lovers throughout B.C., Surrey’s resolution to the UBCM did not ask for a ban or even a time limit to tethering – but simply asked that the tethering of dogs be included in the PCA Act stating “to permit enforcement under the Act in situations where tethering causes a dog to be in distress, within the meaning of the Act.” As this is simply a duplication of the current wording – which Ms. Moriarty advised them was very difficult to enforce – this resolution has done nothing at all to end the suffering of chained dogs in B.C. In addition, despite their promise in April 2012 to pass an emergency bylaw banning the tethering of unattended dogs, the City of Surrey has yet to do so. In my opinion, Surrey was hoping the province would take the decision out of their hands. However, they ensured that couldn’t happen by failing to propose effective and enforceable legislation. As a result, there is now no end in sight to the suffering of chained dogs in Surrey and the majority of B.C. municipalities. If California – a state with 10 times the population of B.C. – can
ban the tethering of dogs, which they did in 2007, certainly B.C. can. All that is lacking here is the humanity and the will to do so. Janet Olson, Surrey
New take on an old favourite Editor: Regarding the movement to change a line in O Canada, the literature or poetry world is different. If explored more, you feel you can make some change to come up with the correct message and a clear understanding. The suggestion for Canada’s national anthem is to change the line “in all thy sons command” to “in all us command.” If this makes the concept clear and more meaningful without harming the lyrics of O Canada, then I have no objection. It is acceptable. The patriotic song is sung with pride by many Canadians, therefore tone and tune should be remain sweet and in lyric order. Hanif A. Patel, Surrey

Two readers have different takes on Peace Arch News columnist Tom Fletcher’s recent article on public opinion.
Thou shalt have faith in science Editor: Re: Science loses ground to superstition, Oct. 1 column. Tom Fletcher is, in my view, one of BC’s most underappreciated commentators. Last week’s BC Views column sums up one of our world’s strangest phenomenon – superstition increases in lockstep with the increase in human knowledge. Fletcher focuses on our endless climate-change conflict, but you can add debates such as ‘smart meters causing cancer,’ ‘vaccines causing autism,’ ‘genetic engineering bad/organic good’ and on and on. Toss in the anti-coal and anti-pipeline crowd, and you have a mass of ignorance that boggles the mind. Never have so many known so little about basic mathematics, physics, chemistry, history and so forth. To illustrate my point, consider that the Earth’s atmosphere is 77 per cent nitrogen and 21 per cent oxygen. That leaves two per cent for all the trace gases including carbon dioxide – currently .04 of one per cent. How can a reasonable person argue that carbon dioxide is the primary driver of climate change? Fletcher also notes the genetic engineering (GE) debate at the UBCM’s recent convention. GE offers some of the best solutions to hunger afflicting much of the Earth’s human population. In spite of the potential benefits, nearly half of our municipal leaders buy into the anti-GE hysteria. If you listened to the Vancouver city council, we should all be living in yurts and scratching – along with
our chickens – a living from backyard organic gardens. Mind boggling! Francis Patrick Jordan, White Rock Q It’s truly bewildering to see such a headline above yet even more of columnist Tom Fletcher’s demagoguery towards David Suzuki – one who’s an ardent believer and follower of actual science rather than the political science from which Fletcher apparently speaks. Also, if it’s actual science that Fletcher truly seeks, why does he conveniently overlook the blatant anti-science thinking and frightening policy of his bird-of-a-feather econo-euphoria fanatic, Prime Minister Stephen Harper. As one who’s spent some early years extensively, avidly consuming much fundamentalist Christian preaching and teaching – including the evangelical sort towards which Harper and many of his MPs claim to be devout – it’s clear that such theology does not at all concern itself with a healthy, pristine Earth ecosystem, the latter which is generally well-aligned with scientific caution. For, according to the Book of Revelations, Earth is to eventually – perhaps, in many believers’ minds, sooner than later – be laid complete waste for a considerable period of time, if not permanently, depending on Biblical interpretation. So, really, why the hell worry about an unhealthy state of the planet’s environment – especially when there are so many jobs to be had? Frank G. Sterle, Jr., White Rock

One of three men to face charges
Trial set for high-speed flight One of three men arrested in connection with a high-speed chase through White Rock and Surrey is to be tried on the charges in Surrey Provincial Court next year. According to court records, Brandon Nathen Teixeira learned Tuesday that the case against him is to be heard June 11 and 12, 2014. The charges stem from an inci-
dent this past June 28, when a grey Jeep Cherokee spotted driving dangerously in White Rock was tracked to the area of 62 Avenue and 126 Street by police helicopter. Two of the three who were arrested were taken to hospital with minor injuries. Teixeira, 22, is charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, flight from a peace offi-
cer, break-and-enter and wilfully resisting or obstructing a peace officer. In July, the court imposed conditions on Teixeira including that he not be in any motor vehicle unless the owner is also present, that he abide by a 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew and that he have no contact with the two other co-accused. - Tracy Holmes

Massey’s son fights demo Adrian MacNair Black Press
The son of the man widely credited for Delta’s first Fraser River crossing into Richmond wants to see his father’s life work saved from demolition. Doug Massey, a former municipal councillor, says he doesn’t want the new bridge renamed after his father, George Massey, who died in 1964. “It doesn’t reflect my father’s wishes or dreams,” he said. “He wasn’t responsible for a bridge Adrian MacNair photo being built, he was responsible Doug Massey wants the tunnel named after his father to be kept for the tunnel being built.” after the new river crossing from Deas Island replaces it in 2017.

Dispute in Congress stems from Obama health reform
Border slowdowns not expected Jeff Nagel Black Press
Bellingham business leaders don’t expect a partial shutdown of the U.S. government that began last Tuesday to cause major slowdowns for crossborder travellers, at least not immediately. Some Republicans in the House of Representatives have
refused to approve a spending bill to keep government operating in a bid to dismantle the health insurance reforms led by President Barack Obama. The move has forced noncritical departments to largely shut down. Bellingham Chamber of Commerce interim executive director Bill Gorman said the
effect on Canadians heading south across the border will depend on how many – if any – U.S. Customs and Border Protection staff are deemed non-essential and cease work. He expects regular traffic over the border won’t feel any difference, but travellers needing to get a visa or make other applications could face longer waits.
“If it goes on for a while, it will have a ripple effect because things will back up,� he said. U.S. border offices are already running on reduced hours as a result of a previous budgetary dispute that began in March. Gorman noted that hasn’t caused major trouble or lost revenue for Bellingham retailers, adding business remains strong.

t was by chance that Nina McLachlan took on the painting of a mural at Christina Place. The 92-year-old saw that work had started on the six-by-eight canvas, but had been put aside after the large project was deemed too much to take on. After unsuccessfully trying to rally fellow residents at the White Rock retirement care centre to finish the project, McLachlan took on the mural, armed with a book of North American wildlife, acrylic paints and her imagination. The end result was a vibrant desert and oasis landscape covered with 13 animals, 13 insects and 12 birds that jump off the wall of the

that she began taking classes in Summerland to paint porcelain plates – something she first saw her aunt do. “My mother was very artistic and she had plates her sister had painted. Back in those days, painting porcelain was unheard of. Only special people could do that, so I got interested,” she said. Once she started, McLachlan was unstoppable, creating porcelain pieces that featured intricate designs, including delicate flowers and, her favourite subject, wildlife. She recalled one of the first courses she attended in Calgary, where she was told she would be able to make one plate after the three days. “I came home with nine,” she laughed. “I kept saying, can I have another?”

South Surrey mom completes challenge
‘Warrior’ takes on obstacles Sarah Massah Staff Reporter
A South Surrey woman’s transformation to warrior is complete. Leora Shipley, 44, took on 12 obstacles at the Sept. 21 Woman to Warrior event held at Swangard Stadium in Burnaby in honour of her eldest son, Nathan, 18, who was born with severe spastic quadriplegia. The event, organized and benefitting Easter Seals Camp, which Nathan has attended for many
years, pushed Shipley out of her comfort zone and back into training mode. And it all paid off. “It was great. It was really, really fun,” she said Thursday. “I was able to run the whole thing and between the 12 obstacles.” With the support of her husband, Peter, her youngest son, Jason, 8, and of course, Nathan – who were all on hand to cheer her on – Shipley completed the fivekilometres of trails, track and

grass, scaled walls and climbed her way to a successful finish. To top it off, Shipley raised $1,800 personally for Easter Seals. In total, more than 255 women ran, walked and tackled the obstacle course, raising $106,567. Funds will go towards supporting the more than 900 children with disabilities who attend the one-week camp next summer. For more information, visit www.woman2warrior.ca

Support your ER one step at a time
How to be a top FUNdraiser for the National Bank Financial Great Pumpkin Run Walk With just 12 days to go until the 7th Annual National Bank Financial Great Pumpkin Run Walk kicks off at Peace Arch Hospital, now is the time to ramp up your fundraising. As a long-time supporter of this event (I’ve been participating since the very first year!), here are three tips that help me achieve my fundraising goals: 1. Share your story We all have a story about why Peace Arch Hospital is so important. Don’t be shy to share it with people. From your hairdresser to your mechanic, just speak from the heart and let them know why you’re fundraising for our ER. Don’t forget that enthusiasm is contagious! 2. Use the online tools Make sure your personal fundraising page on the National Bank Financial Great Pumpkin Run Walk website is creative and robust. Upload a photo of yourself and share a thoughtful and meaningful message about your fundraising goals and why you’re participating in the Run Walk. Email your contacts the link to your personal fundraising page and if you use social media, post the link on your profile(s) and expand your circle of potential supporters.
That’s it! Easy, right? Don’t forget about the great prizes for reaching fundraising targets such as event t-shirts, New Balance technical clothing and runners and a fabulous one-night stay with breakfast package at the Four Seasons Hotel in Seattle. There are also elite prizes for top fundraisers so get out there and get fundraising! The best part is that every dollar you raise will have a direct impact in the building of a new ER for our community. We’re all in this together! Support your ER one step at a time! Register for the National Bank Financial Great Pumpkin Run Walk at pahfoundation.ca, click on the pumpkin.
3. Don’t be afraid to make the ask Once you’ve shared your story, just simply ask for a donation. Be direct and passionate. Chances are, your family, friends and colleagues feel just as strongly as you do about creating quality health care close to home.

White Rock Fire Rescue Reminds White Rock Residents to ‘Prevent Kitchen Fires’ It’s time for Fire Prevention Week, and from October 6-12 White Rock Fire Rescue is joining forces with the nonprofit National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) to remind
local residents to ‘Prevent Kitchen Fires.’ During this year’s fire safety campaign, fire departments will be spreading the word about the dangers of kitchen fires--most of which result from unattended cooking—and teaching local residents how to prevent kitchen fires from starting in the first place. According to the latest NFPA research, • improve cellulite • reduce wrinkles • tighten skin • safe & painless

Panago Pizza has teamed up with the White Rock Fire Department to promote fire safety during Fire Prevention Week. Each night during Fire Prevention Week an order being delivered to White Rock, will be randomly selected by Panago to be delivered alongside the White Rock Firefighters. Upon delivery, the Fire Department will check for working smoke detectors in the customer’s home. If everything is in working order, their entire pizza order will be absolutely free. For customers whose smoke detectors are not working or are missing, complimentary smoke detectors will be installed or batteries replaced by the local Fire Department to ensure they are safe in the event of fire.

cooking is the leading cause of home fires. Two of every five home fires begin in the kitchen—more than any other place in the home. Cooking fires are also the leading cause of home fire-related injuries. “Often when we’re called to a fire that started in the kitchen, the residents tell us that they only left the kitchen for a few minutes,” said Bob Schlase, Deputy Fire Chief. “Sadly, that’s all it takes for a dangerous fire to start. We hope that Fire Prevention Week will help us reach folks in the community before they’ve suffered a damaging lesson.” Among the safety tips that firefighters and safety advocates will be emphasizing: • Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling, broiling, or boiling food. • If you must leave the room, even for a short period of time, turn off the stove. • When you are simmering, baking, or roasting food, check it regularly, stay in the

Keep children and pets at least three away from the stove. • When you cook, wear clothing with tightfitting sleeves. • Keep potholders, oven mitts, wooden utensils, paper and plastic bags, towels, and anything else that can burn, away from your stovetop. • Clean up food and grease from burners and stovetops. Fire Prevention Week is actively supported by fire departments across the country. Fire Prevention Week is the longest running public health and safety observance on record.

female vocal trio The Hummingbirds (singing in English, Japanese, Italian and Latin), plus Bolshakov himself). Admission is $5 at the door and the performance is open to all members of the public.
Elements, White Rock Gallery’s major fall group exhibition and sale of paintings continues until Oct.11 at the gallery, 1247 Johnston Rd. The new show brings together work by four of the gallery’s most popular artists: Phil Buytendorp, Steve Coffey, Renato Muccillo and Donna Zhang. Buytendorp’s stylized yet evocative landscapes celebrate everything from sheltered backwaters and granite outcroppings in ways that connect with the viewer, whereas Coffey, while standing in awe of limitless Western Canadian vistas and expanses of sky still manages to depict a human element. Muccillo’s moody meditations also capture a rapidly diminishing lush landscape of wetlands only just beyond the encroachment of modern ‘civilization,’ while Zhang’s empathetic yet unsentimental portraits speak to the resilience of the human spirit and the charm of the unrefined. For information, call 604538-4452 or visit www. whiterockgallery.com

The Crucible White Rock Players’ Club’s next production, the Arthur Miller classic The Crucible, opens Oct. 9 at Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd. Directed by club artistic director Ryan Mooney, the hard-hitting, large-cast drama runs until Oct. 26, with performances at 8 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, and a 2:30 p.m. matinee on Sunday, Oct. 20. In the celebrated 1952 play, Miller found in the infamous Salem witch trials of the 17th century a perfect metaphor for the political crisis he saw in America during the HUAC-McCarthy Communist ‘witch hunt’ period. The Crucible provides a powerful lesson on how a
well-meaning society can start down a slippery slope to injustice and persecution, especially when commonlyheld ideals and values are twisted and subverted by ambition and greed. When a group of young girls are accused of witchcraft, the “investigation” rapidly runs out of control, and accusations proliferate with increasingly tragic consequences for the community. Players include J.C. Roy, Rebekah McEwan, Rebecca Strom, Tom Gage, Mike Busswood, Tim Driscoll, Ken Fynn and Jane Mantle. Tickets ($18, $16 for students seniors and CCS
members, $10 for previews Oct. 9 and 10) are available at 604-536-7535 or visit www.whiterockplayers.ca
Day of Drawing The Day of Drawing artists’ collective is mounting a ‘pop-up’ exhibition – housed in a 26-foot truck – which will appear in various public and private Surrey venues over the next week and a half. Following on the inaugural appearance as part of the White Rock Moon Festival last weekend, the drawing-oriented collective (Elizabeth Carefoot, Jennifer Clark, Willa Downing, James Friesen,
Lesley Garratt, Reuben Kambeitz, Cora Li-Leger, Don Li-Leger, Claire Moore and Deborah Putman) will be bringing their travelling gallery to Morgan Crossing (Oct. 11-12, 11 a.m.-4 p.m.), Surrey Arts Centre (Oct. 15-16, 10 a.m.-2 p.m.) and Kwantlen Polytechnic University (Oct. 17-18, hours TBA). Part of the Big Draw, an international drawing campaign launched in Britain in 2000, the Day of Drawing mobile initiative aims to highlight “the power of drawing to help people see, think, invent and enrich their lives.” Imaginative drawing activities will be available at
each stop under an adjacent tent, allowing participants of all ages and skill levels to try their hand at drawings. For info, visit www. dayofdrawing.com

Time to check furnace We are only a few weeks into fall, but those long, hot days of summer already seem like a distant memory. As the temperature starts to drop around the Semiahmoo Peninsula, many homeowners are firing up their furnaces for the first time in many months in an effort to battle the cold. Which is why the change of season marks the perfect time to have your furnace, as well as your hot-water tank, inspected, serviced and repaired, if necessary. “A lot of units have sat quiet for the summer time,” said Beth Henderson of Check Point Plumbing, Heating and Gas Fitting. “You want to make sure that the fan belts and filters have been cleaned and that everything is in top working condition, including the carbon dioxide level, which should be at an acceptable level.” Filter changes are a simple enough task that homeowners can take care of it themselves – supplies can be found at local hardware stores.

The beginning of fall is an ideal time for you to have your furnace and hot-water tank inspected by a professional. Depending on the age of the furnace, filters should be changed around every four months, or at the very least, once a year, Henderson said. “When you have a dirty filter, your furnace works a lot harder, and you end up breathing back all that dirty air,” she explained. While a filter change can help with the efficiency of your furnace, an inspection by a certified professional can help catch major problems before they
happen, perhaps preventing a chilly night spent with a brokendown furnace. In addition to servicing your furnace and hot-water tank, Henderson recommends homeowners tend to their outside faucets, installing frost-free versions if they haven’t done so already and making sure the water has been shut off to outdoor taps. This can help prevent the pipes from bursting once the temperature drops below freezing.

FALL HOME & GARDEN

Fall in love with this Thanksgiving Savings! season’s decor trends All items picked fresh daily!
Bold colours, textured fabrics popular this season
A
s the weather cools and we find ourselves spending the majority of our time indoors, you may be feeling the urge to spruce up your home with some new decor or a little makeover. When it comes to picking out the proper colours, patterns and styles for your home, this fall there is plenty to be excited about, according to designer Joan Walker, owner of The Curtain Call Drapery & Decorating Co. Similar to previous seasons, wallpaper is still a popular choice for homes, and choosing a print with graphics and texture helps to fill any room with subtle warmth. This year, fabrics for chairs, cushions and other such items are a little more bold, with orange and blue hues. “After years of natural texture, prints are creeping back in with bold graphics and embroidery,” Walker explained. “This can add the perfect pop to any room, especially in a modern design. And we’re not just seeing a single colour any more as an accent.” If you’re in the market for some new furniture, Walker said the latest trend is leaning towards a more refined, ‘glam-rustic’ look to pieces that are on the lighter side, with fine features and tapered, slim legs. “Overall, it’s a little more sophisticated, but at the same time exuding a casual glamour and relaxed look,” she said. Natural wood finishes are still a popular choice – especially in coffee tables, which are often placed in groupings at different heights for a tapered look. “These pieces are not only multifunctional, but they create a dimension of a square centre of a room.” Other styles of look out for this season include designs with hints of metallic

If it’s the flooring in your home that needs a little attention this fall, a popular choice, according to Dora Belyk of Surfside Flooring, is vinyl wood plank and tile. “It is durable and has great design detail that looks very similar to real hardwood or tile,” Belyk said. For those homeowners who enjoy the challenge of DIY (do it yourself), these vinyl-flooring products are now available in a high-quality self-adhesive format to make the job easier than ever. If you prefer to leave it up to the experts, however, Surfside has a team of professional installers on hand to get the job done. Whether you’re just looking to add a splash of colour and style to your home, or you want to embark on a complete design renovation, seeking out the advice and expertise of a design professional on the Semiahmoo Peninsula will help save you time and stress and will ensure you have a finished product you will love.

Getting yard winter ready Fall is officially here on the Semiahmoo Peninsula, but that doesn’t mean it’s time to hang up the gardening gloves just yet. Besides raking leaves, moving hanging baskets inside and storing lawn furniture, there is plenty of work to be done in the yard to prepare for winter. According to Kerry Vanderzalm of Art Knapp Plantland, as soon as the leaves start falling from the trees, it’s a good time to start pruning. Pruning is a great way to keep shrubs and trees strong and healthy during the winter months, and can add fullness and allow shrubs and plants to retain their shape and dimensions for years to come. First and foremost, essential to a pruning job is a good pair of pruners, with replaceable parts and blades that can be sharpened repeatedly. It’s also important to disinfect your tools – including shovels and forks – between jobs, using a bleach solution/ isopropanol spray or food-grade hydrogen peroxide solution. When pruning in the fall, the best plan is to target dead, diseased or damaged limbs/branches for removal. This can
help prevent further damage to the tree or damage from strong wind or snow storms that may sweep through the region in the coming months. This doesn’t mean just hacking away at a tree or shrub, however, carefully placed cuts, above a branch collar, bud or branch “V”, will do the trick. Also a good idea this time of year is planting bulbs for the spring, which you can do anytime before the ground freezes. Crocuses, tulips, hyacinths, narcissi and more are popular choices for our climate and can be found in abundance at local garden supply stores. You’ll want to select a site to plant that has plenty of sun and well-drained soil – work in a few inches of compost if possible. A general rule of thumb is to plant bulbs at a depth of three times the width of the bulb, and plant generously, as some may not sprout. Not to be forgotten as we head into winter, according to Vanderzalm, is the lawn. “For a healthy lawn, an application of lime and a low-nitrogen fall fertilizer is a really good idea,” Vanderzalm said.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
Eagles’ effort lacking: coach
Birds fall in three straight Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
Playing three games in three nights is a tall order for any hockey team, and last weekend the task was too tough for the Surrey Eagles. The defending BCHL champs dropped all three games of their Mainland Division triple-header, falling twice to the Langley Rivermen – on Friday, 4-3, and Saturday, 5-1 – before losing 5-1 to the Coquitlam Express Sunday evening at South Surrey Arena. “It was obviously not the results we wanted in any of the three games,” said Eagles head coach/general manager Peter Schaefer. The three losses dropped the Eagles below .500 for the first time this season – they sport a 5-6 win-loss record – and they’re now fourth in the Mainland Divison, five points back of the first-place Rivermen. While playing three in a row can be a grueling endeavour, Schaefer insisted that fatigue wasn’t part of the problem. In fact, he said the reason for the loss was, ironically, that his team didn’t really play three full games. “We just never put a full 60 minutes together any of the nights,” he said. “We would have spurts here and there where we played well, but it wasn’t enough.” Surrey’s best effort, according to the firstyear head coach, came in Sunday’s loss to Coquitlam in which the Eagles outshot the visitors 43-32, but could only beat Express goaltender Gordie Defiel once – a Nic Pierog shorthanded marker in the final minute of the second period. “Our best game was definitely the third one, so I can’t really explain that,” Schaefer i see page 30

Event set for White Rock beach Saturday
Paddleboarders to unite for the environment Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
Contributed photo
Surrey paddleboarder Scott Burton will host an event Saturday.
A group of paddleboarders are set to dip their boards into the waters of Semiahmoo Bay this weekend, in an effort to bring awareness to environmental issues. The effort – spearheaded by Surrey paddleboarder Scott Burton – is set for Oct. 12, and is inspired by World Paddle for the Planet Day, which itself is to take place in Florida from Oct. 10-13. “It’s our first year doing it here, and it’s just a very informal thing, but we thought it would be a good thing to get a group of us out – paddle boarders, canoes, kayakers, everyone – and go for a paddle, and raise some awareness,” said
Burton. Burton said that while everyone will likely have their own causes to promote and discuss – he called it an “open forum”, and plans on canvassing the group prior to heading out into the water – his issue this year is the current coal debate which is currently raging in the Lower Mainland. Burton planned to have representatives from Communities and Coal and No Coal Surrey/ White Rock attend the Oct. 12 event. “I’m a pretty frequent visitor to White Rock beach – I probably paddle down here 20 or 25 times in the summer – and I was just shocked at how often the coal
trains come through, with no tarps on them, and coal dust just falling on everyone,” he said. “You get a very unique perspective from the water, looking back at the beaches and city with the open coal cars running through it.” On a larger scale, the global Paddle for the Planet initiative is the creation of Okanagan paddleboarder Bob Purdy, who gained notoriety in the paddleboard community for paddling 1,000 days in a row. Burton met Purdy at a stand-up paddleboard race last year at Kalamalka Lake near Vernon, and joined him for his 1,000th i see page 31

Teams are ready for us: Schaefer i from page 29 said. “It might’ve been a bit of desperation, and guys not wanting to lose (three in a row). But that’s how we’re going to have to play if we want to win.” In Friday’s 4-3 loss to Langley, the Rivermen pounced on the home team and led 4-1 after 40 minutes, before Surrey mounted a comeback in the third period, scoring twice – Danton Heinen notched a power-play goal 3:29 into the third, and captain Brett Mulcahy made it 4-3 with just 11 seconds left in the game. The Eagles’ first goal was scored by Pierog, who also assisted on Heinen’s tally. Victor Adamo was between the pipes for Surrey, stopping 21 of
25 Langley shots. On Saturday, the two clubs renewed hostilities in Langley, and the game was much the same, with the Rivermen jumping out to a lead and holding on for the win. James Robinson had three assists for Langley, and Austin Azurdia and Will Cook each had a goal and an assist. The Eagles’ lone goal came from Michael Roberts, who scored five minutes into the third period. Being the reigning Fred Page Cup champions has also put a target on the Eagles’ backs through the opening month of the season, Schaefer added – giving his players even more

motivation to play their best. “It’s not going to be easy for us in any game – teams are ready for us,” he said. “And we’ve had a few different individuals step up in different games, but that’s not enough. At the end of the day, we didn’t get any points this weekend, so we all have to be better.” The Eagles will have the opportunity to get back into the win column Friday, but it won’t be easy – they host the Powell River Kings, who currently lead the BCHL’s Island Division with am 8-1 record. On Saturday, Surrey returns to the Langley Events Centre for another game against the Rivermen.

Paddleboard event Saturday i from page 29 straight day on the water. It was then that Burton learned of the Paddle for the Planet event. The initiative is gaining steam since its inception a few years ago, Burton said. In addition to his White Rock event, other satellite Paddle for the Planet events are being staged in England, Hawaii, United Arab Emirates and Korea, among other places. Burton expects about 15 to 20
paddlers to join him for Saturday’s event, which begins at noon near the west beach boat launch. All paddlers are welcome to attend, Burton said, and even those who aren’t interested in hitting the water and welcome to stop by, he added. “Our tagline is, ‘A wave of change starts with a ripple,’” he said. “It’s just about raising awareness of the event, and of our environment – to make it known that people are out there trying to make a change.”
