2014 budget estimated at $763 million
Surrey tax bills to rise more than $100 Kevin Diakiw Black Press
Surrey is planning a hike in taxes and utilities next year of more than $100. The city is gearing up to consider its 2014 budget – a document that now includes an increase of $113 to owners of an average home with an estimated value of $643,600. As outlined last year in its five-
year plan, Surrey is considering a 2.9-per-cent property-tax hike ($44.40), along with a one-per-cent road levy ($15.31), for a total tax increase of $59.71. It will bring the property taxes on the average home to $1,590. In addition, homeowners will be hit with a host of utility increases, including water ($19.39); sewer ($19.26); a parcel tax for pipe
repair, pumping stations, etc. ($13); and an increase in garbage hauling of $2 – for a total utility hike of $53.62. The total cost of utilities on the average home will be $1,170. The total new cost of taxes and utilities on the average Surrey home valued at $643,600 will be $2,760 – or, if the home has a secondary suite, $3,170.
Extra operating costs expected next year include 12 additional RCMP members, with five more municipal-support workers. There will be no new hires for firefighting, bylaw enforcement, or animal control. Labour-contract increases next year are expected to amount to $9 million, while third-party contracts are expected to jump $2.41 million.
Surrey is planning to budget $1 million for new public facilities next year, add $1.1 million worth of new programs, and increase contributions to capital and technology replacement by $1.5 million. The $763-million budget will be discussed by the city’s finance committee, which includes all of council, on Nov. 18.

Grandview Heights project featured in architects’ book
Aquatics centre envisioned as ‘community hub’ Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter
Armed with the philosophy that a pool can be more than just a pool, the architects behind the new Grandview Heights Aquatic Centre set out to design a building that is more “community living room” than just a place to swim laps. “When we design these types of places, we think of them not just as pools, but com-
munity hubs, where people go to (socialize),” said Darryl Condon, managing principal at Hughes Condon Marler Architects, which was tasked with designing the Grandview project. Plans for the new aquatic centre – to be built on the northeast corner of 24 Avenue and 168 Street in South Surrey – were announced in 2011, and the specific design plans were made public last month. The centre will include among its amenities a 50-m
lap pool, a leisure pool and dive tower, and original estimates have pegged the cost of the project at $51.9 million. Last summer, the land was cleared at the site, and construction is now underway. The project has not been without detractors, however. When the plan for a new aquatic centre was announced by the city in 2011, various user groups worried the 50-m lap pool would not have enough space to host large

competitive meets. Those concerns were not alleviated when a final plan was announced last year, though city officials have insisted the facility – part of the Build Surrey program – is in fact suitable for the needs of the area. “There is no question in my mind that building two 50-metre pools is the right thing to do,” Surrey Coun. Tom Gill told Peace Arch News in March 2012. i see page 4

Liquor-control branch ‘caught up to the times’
’Piper celebrates increased capacity Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
A request to increase the licensed capacity of a waterfront pub in White Rock has been approved. A justice ministry spokesperson confirmed last week that a capacity increase sought by owners of the Sandpiper Pub for the 15595 Marine Dr. establishment was given the thumbs-up on Oct. 22. It is news pub co-owner Judy Baker said she and business partner Bill Lawrence – a city councillor – have been waiting nearly two decades for. “They’ve given us everything that we’ve asked for,” an elated Baker said Thursday. “That’s what we’ve been asking for, basically, for the last 18 years. The Liquor Control and Licensing Branch “finally caught up to the times.” Baker and Lawrence applied to the LCLB to boost the pub’s licensed capacity to 115 from 65. The approval does not extend the pub’s hours of operation. It is expected to put an end, once and for all, to penalties for overcrowding. The pub’s license was suspended twice this year – once for 17 days and once for six days – as a result of being found overcapacity last year. Baker said the new capacity is also good news for staff, as the number of shifts and hours offered can increase. “It allows them to function at full capacity,” she said.

A capacity crowd attends a June public hearing to discuss the Sandpiper Pub’s capacity-increase request. While the justice ministry spokesperson said a stamp of approval on “necessary structural alterations” is needed before the pub can open its doors to more customers, Baker said everything necessary has been done. While news of the capacity-increase application brought mixed reviews – opponents who spoke at a June public hearing cited concerns with increased noise; others criticized a call for support that Lawrence put out through Facebook – Baker said the support received from present and past customers and neighbours was appreciated. Customer-appreciation events are being planned, she said.

Surrey councillor backs proposed arts centre/towers
Towers would reduce sprawl: Villeneuve Alex Browne Staff Reporter
A proposed South Surrey two-tower residential highrise development – which would provide cultural amenities, including a theatre and an arts centre café/gallery – is part of a densification plan which would help reduce urban sprawl on the Peninsula. That’s the message from Coun. Judy Villeneuve, chair of the city’s cultural committee. Villeneuve told Peace Arch News last week that a concentration of development at the proposed site – at 152 Street and 19 Avenue – would not only provide facilities for an under-served artistic community but revitalize an area that is losing business to Morgan Heights and Grandview Heights, as well as allow the city to create a stronger case for improved transportation service to the Semiahmoo Town Centre.
“When you put it in context, it shows the potential of what could be,” Villeneuve said. “I think Surrey is looking at the future.” She said she has received mostly positive reaction from the community so far – “particularly from the arts community and from residents who would like to see a new cultural hub here.” However, the project has received negative feedback from the Semiahmoo Residents Association, whose president, David Cann, says is opposed to highrise development in the area, terming the provision of arts facilities in the current proposal “a bit of a fob” to make it more attractive to the community. Still at the design-proposal stage, the currently unnamed project would be a co-operative development of the Reifel Cooke Group and the Surrey City Development Corporation, unifying adjacent property each holds.

Vancouver award
Firefighter honoured Sarah Massah Staff Reporter
When Bryan Gillan was eight, he already knew exactly what he wanted to do when he grew up. “We lived on an army base in Edmonton and it was fireprevention week, and I saw those guys and I was eight years old, and I remember to this day, I said, ‘Man, I want to do that,’” he said. Gillan, now marking nearly 18 years with the Vancouver Fire Department, has not only fulfilled his childhood wish of becoming a firefighter, the longtime South Surrey resident Bryan Gillan has also been passion to help named by his peers as the Vancouver Firefighter of the Year. “It’s overwhelming,” he said. “We’re all just doing our job.” The 48-year-old began his career at the Crescent Park Fire Hall in the early 1990s, serving as a volunteer until Feb. 20, 1995, when he was hired on with the Vancouver Fire Department. Gillan now heads the VFD’s Critical Incident Stress Management team, which provides support to victims of trauma, including survivors of the Oct. 27, 2011 plane crash in Richmond. “Because of the extensive training we receive, we’re able to provide the tools to help people get through it and how to deal with what you saw,” he said. Gillan’s passion to help others extends to his home community, where he volunteers as a track coach and offers a “scared straight” program for youth. “I had been helped in the past through some difficult situations, and I thought, it would be nice to find a way to pay that back.” Gillan will receive his award at a ceremony in December.

White Rock knowingly hosts events where hazards exist, councillor says
City considers axing Miramar events Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Concerns with potential hazards at Miramar Village Plaza prompted city council last week to briefly consider putting a hiatus on hosting special events outside the White Rock Community Centre until the issues are addressed. “In light of some liability issues… we maybe should hold off on anything going on in there until we get some assurance from the strata,” Coun. Al Campbell suggested. “We need to know that everything is taken care of.” The rejected suggestion came during council’s consideration of special events for 2014, namely the White Rock Farmers’ Market, which has been held in recent years at the Russell Avenue plaza from May to October. It was prompted by concerns raised by Coun. Helen Fathers. Fathers, prior to declaring a conflict of interest in discussions regarding the market specifically – she is the market manager – questioned the city’s liability in sanctioning events at the plaza when hazards have been identified but not addressed. She cited separating concrete and raised tree grates, and questioned who is
responsible for dealing with them. “It’s a hazard for the people who are coming to visit the events that are held in that area,” Fathers said. “We knowingly host events there, knowing there are hazards.” The city’s special-events agreement mandates organizers carry a minimum of $5 million in “comprehensive general liability” insurance to protect the city from liability “for bodily injury, death or property damage arising out of any event.” City manager Dan Bottrill told council that the Miramar Village strata council is responsible for looking after the plaza, but that the city has had to tend to some issues in the past “because it was an urgent event.” Bottrill said he is not aware of any current risks “that would mitigate or prevent events.” Fathers told Peace Arch News that she advised the city of concerns “three or four weeks ago.” At the plaza Wednesday morning, she and Campbell examined areas where the asphalt is uneven – “a tripping hazard, for sure,” Campbell said – paving stones are sinking and missing rivets have destabilized metal tree guards. They agreed the concerns would be an easy
fix, but said it remains unclear who should be taking responsibility for it. General maintenance is also an issue, Fathers noted, pointing, as example, to areas where dead trees haven’t been replaced in landscaping features and a broken exterior vent cover. “Nobody’s taking care of the little things,” she said. The two suggested formation of a working committee involving city and strata officials would be a good start to tackling the issue. Strata representative Jal Wadia told PAN by email Thursday that his understanding is that management of the plaza is a shared responsibility of the city and other stakeholders, including owners and users. He said the responsibility and obligations were “assigned to us prior to formation of the strata and without our knowledge.” “Unfortunately, volunteer strata councils of Miramar towers have made several attempts at bringing stakeholders to the table without much success,” Wadia writes. “We are very proud of our facilities and the state of general management and in the meantime we will continue working with the city and the community centre.”

City seeks age-friendly funds Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
White Rock officials want to help the city’s seniors make informed choices about healthy food, and they’re hoping for a Union of B.C. Municipalities grant to fund the effort. Leisure services director Eric Stepura asked council last week to pass a resolution supporting an application for a $20,000 2014 Age Friendly Community Planning and Project Grant.
If approved – a council resolution is required – the grant will fund a Sharing Spaces Community Kitchens project, including offering two weekly intergenerational community kitchens and monthly nutritional consultation. The project “will address the need for greater opportunities for social inclusion and links the inter-generational community kitchen to healthy-living activities,” Stepura notes in a report. The grant application, submit-
ted Oct. 18, is not White Rock’s first to the UBCM. “We’ve actually been successful on five occasions,” Stepura said. Previous grants have funded an assessment of the city’s agefriendly attributes; a project that identified the need for seniors to connect with their community through social participation; and an effort to boost emergency awareness and preparedness in older adults living in apartments/ condominiums.

The book looks back at some of the company’s earliest designs, while showcasing modern efforts, such as the Grandview project. “It’s been an evolution,” Condon said. As for the Grandview Heights facility, he said it will feature a modern appearance, complete with many wood beams and
other natural features that will make it fit nicely with the surrounding area. “We believe in very site-specfic designs, and I would describe (Grandview) as very contemporary,” Condon said. “Architecture is a very collaborative art form, and we are very proud of this project.” To view the plans for the aquatic centre, visit www.grandviewaqua.ca

Winter will be here before you know it
I
t’s been a little more than a week since we all turned our clocks back an hour to standard time. And while the extra hour of sleep was more than welcome, we are now faced with the reality that winter is coming. Quickly, too. Yes, the “official” first day of winter isn’t until Dec. 21, but across the province, the season has announced its presence nonetheless – with a noted chill in the morning air and frost on the ground. And if the weather wasn’t enough to convince you winter is well on its way, one only needs to stumble into a local mall, where the Halloween displays were replaced by Christmas trees quicker than you can say ‘boo!’ And though we here on the Semiahmoo Peninsula may avoid the snowy wrath of Mother Nature – fingers crossed – the weather has hit elsewhere, specifically the Okanagan and further north. As if on cue, B.C.’s northern regions have already had their first snowfall warnings, so Lower Mainland drivers planning to make a trek north anytime soon would be wise to get winter tires installed on their vehicles pronto. Snow tires – or chains – are now mandatory for mountain highways in the province. And even if a trip along the Coquihalla Highway isn’t in your immediate future, best to beat the crowds and get those winter tires installed anyway – you’ll likely need them down here soon enough, especially if you plan to hit up local ski hills this season. Getting ready for winter means more than just putting new tires on your car, too. There’s plenty you can do around the house and yard to ensure your winter season goes seamlessly. Drain and bring inside your water hoses – lest they freeze up and snap – rake up those excess leaves in the front yard, cover up that air conditioner if you have one, and bring in those potted plants from the back deck that won’t survive the onset of December, which – if you haven’t noticed – is but a few weeks away. And speaking of December, you might want to get a jump on that Christmas shopping, too. Winter – and everything that comes with it – will be here quicker than you think.

Redford accepts B.C.’s five conditions, provincial royalties excluded, and Clark endorsed Redford’s proposed “Canadian Energy Strategy,” which B.C. rejected last year. A draft of the strategy released last summer contains no specifics on how it would facilitate a pipeline project from Alberta to B.C. It talks about developing Canada’s energy reserves and at the same time somehow reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and promises a final version next spring. Oh, and Quebec refuses to participate. Ottawa has sole jurisdiction over interprovincial projects such as Northern Gateway and the proposal by Kinder Morgan Canada to expand the 60-yearold Trans Mountain pipeline to Burnaby and refineries in Washington. If there is to be some extra revenue for B.C. from oil traffic, it could theoretically take the form of a toll on pipelines. Redford pointed out the problem with that idea in her speech to an energy forum in Vancouver last week. She noted that 42 per cent of B.C. natural gas is piped through Alberta to markets. If B.C. can toll Alberta oil, the same could be done with B.C. gas. None of B.C.’s five conditions has yet been met. Legally, they don’t have to be, except for the one about accommodating aboriginal title.

Transparency A blasted begins at home nuisance Editor: Re: Hiebert touts poll support, Nov. 5. MP Russ Hiebert (South SurreyWhite Rock-Cloverdale) claims that he has polling information indicating that Canadians support the provisions of his draconian Bill C-377, which singles out unions for discriminatory treatment. He says that the sponsor of this poll, the Canadian LabourWatch Association, is “non-partisan.” In fact, LabourWatch is an antiunion front group for organizations that believe minimum wages are too high. LabourWatch issued an earlier poll back in 2011 that Hiebert used constantly to make his case for Bill C-377. Wellknown pollster Allan Gregg described that poll as “horrendously biased” to get Russ Hiebert the results that LabourWatch wanted in order to promote C-377. Unions are transparent and our members can easily access any information they want about our finances. Ken Georgetti But let’s talk a bit more about transparency. The Conservative party’s recent convention in Calgary was largely a secretive affair. Hiebert and the Conservatives preach about transparency but don’t observe it themselves. Ken Georgetti, Canadian Labour Congress president, Ottawa Q I found it a bit hypocritical of Conservative MP Russ Hiebert to be asking the unions – or anyone, for that matter – to disclose anything. Prime Minister Stephen Harper won’t answer any questions about anything. He is the most secretive PM Canada has ever had. He was going to bar a CTV cameraman from a recent trip because he had the nerve to ask a question that had not been scripted. The only media to which Harper will respond are the right-wing radio talk-show hosts that swallow everything he has to say. Harper shows no respect for the citizens of this country when he will not answer their questions. At the same time, one of his yes men is demanding that unions be more forthcoming. Perhaps, in this case, the prime minister has created the template that the unions have chosen to use. George Stone, White Rock Q I see in the Peace Arch News that our MP, Russ Hiebert, would like to break the unions. When you think of it, that would not be easy. I would think the police and the fire department and the teachers and the nurses and all the trades would not like that. Ralph E. Johnson, Surrey
Editor: As I was walking my dog the other day – as I do every day – through the woods, I filled two plastic shopping bags with fireworks garbage. I can just imagine the conversation of the people who set these Halloween fireworks off in a wooded area: “Hey, let’s get some fireworks!” “Yeah!” “But let’s set them off in a vacant parking lot where nothing will be damaged if one goes wrong.” “Nah, let’s go into an area where everything is easily combustible and flammable and, if one goes wrong and we burn down thousands of trees and a whole bunch of houses, too bad for everybody else; at least it’ll be fun – for us. And if our parents get sued for the damages and have to pay millions and millions and millions of dollars for the rest of their lives, too bad for them. At least we will have had fun.” “Cool!” I strongly recommend to all governments – municipal, provincial, and federal – to ban all forms of fireworks available to the public. Besides scaring the poop out of
every dog and cat within hearing distance, untold damage is caused every year to nature – streams and rivers, trees, etc. – houses and human body parts. It’s just not worth it. Jerry Steinberg, Surrey

Editor: Re: Beyond the surface, Oct. 3 editorial. The attention paid in honour of Ryan Ashe is most commendable. Your words clearly reflected respect, sensitivity and understanding.

And anyone else losing a loved one in Ryan’s situation, a mother’s son, will empathize.

A Halloween treat for families Editor: Re: Giving a scare, Oct. 31. For the last few years, a Halloween tradition has taken place in Ocean Park – namely the ‘Terror in the Terrace’ haunted house event. It is the talked-about event in our neighbourhood each October, and this year our hosts, Dean and Ethan Donnelly, outdid themselves yet again. Along with the usual favourites – including ghosts, zombies and the ever-popular man-eating Pumpkinzilla – this year’s event included local student actors, a corn maze and haunted cabin. Not only was this a fun ‘fright night,’ but it held a special meaning to those of us who are touched daily by
life with autism. Our hosts reached out to the autism community and offered to do a fundraiser for children and families who receive education and help from the Applied Behavioural Analysis Support Network (www.abasupportnetwork.com). Eight hundred dollars was raised for this cause due to the efforts and compassion of all those involved, from the Donnelly family, the student actors/volunteers and those who came by to make a donation. We are humbled by your kindness and concern and sincerely thank all those who reached out to the ABA/ autism community. Louise Witt, ABA Support Network, Surrey

She said Beszedes crimes were predatory and reckless and noted he left his victims unconscious, often outside where they were unable to protect themselves from the elements or other people. Lane said Beszedes, who has been in jail for three years, should serve an additional four years. He would receive double credit for time already served. Defence lawyer Jason Gratl said an additional two years in prison would be better for Beszedes, arguing probation would not be available for anything longer and would be beneficial for his rehabilitation. The longer period of supervision – three years probation following prison – in the community is “critical,” said Gratl. A psychiatric report said Beszedes tends to act impulsively, lacks self-discipline and is at a moderate risk to reoffend. The report said he justified his actions and lacks insight into his offences, although he seemed “distressed” about the sexual assaults, as opposed to the robberies, which he minimized as routine among drug addicts. Beszedes is due back in court Dec. 6.

Senior struck in Delta Halloween morning
Hit-and-run video released Kevin Diakiw Black Press
Police released a video Thursday showing a 77-year-old man being struck by a hit-andrun truck driver on Halloween morning on the Surrey/Delta border. The North Delta senior was still in hospital with a broken pelvis and hip a week later. On Oct. 31, at about 7 a.m., Delta Police responded to 72 Avenue and Scott Road (120 Street) for a report of a hit-andrun involving a pedestrian. The Indo-Canadian man was crossing at a marked crosswalk when he was hit by a white, westbound pick-up truck. The driver of the pickup truck continued to drive away down 72 Avenue toward Highway 91. The pedestrian’s multiple injuries included a dislocated shoulder. The intersection video released last week (www.peacearchnews. com) shows what police believe to be a white 1982 to 1992 Chevrolet S10 pickup with aftermarket rims, waiting

Lack of funding cited as problem for farmland commission
Minister denies ALR reports
Enjoy life!
Leave the details to us.
Tom Fletcher Black Press
VICTORIA – News reports suggesting the B.C. government is considering dismantling the Agricultural Land Commission are not accurate, the minister in charge of the government’s “core review” says. A plan outlined in documents leaked to the Globe and Mail last week is “so secret that I don’t even know about it myself,” Energy Minister Bill Bennett said in an interview. “We’re not even considering blowing up the ALC, or bringing it inside government.” Bennett said agricultural land commissioners will continue to decide on applications to amend the land reserve, established 40 years ago to protect farmland from development. Bennett refused to comment on the suggestion that the province could be divided into two zones with different processes. But, he said, he is aware of many cases outside the southwestern part of B.C. where obviously unfarmable land remains locked in the reserve. Part of the problem has been a lack of funding to the commission, Bennett said. The current budget adds $4 million to the commission’s budget over three years. “It’s not all their fault, it’s the way the legislation is written, it’s

Two women share their personal struggles with disease
Reliving their pain to shed light on Lyme Sarah Massah
W
Staff Reporter
alking through Karen Marchand’s South Surrey home, it’s apparent that every inch of the condo has been meticulously laid out and designed with an expert eye. The walls are covered in textured wallpaper, a pop of colour is strategically placed here, an eyecatching light fixture there. She points to art that hangs near the entrance. “That’s what I used to paint,” she says. “I can’t do that anymore.” For nearly three years, the commercial interior designer has had the brakes put on her life – including leaving her passion and the industry she had worked in for 24 years – to cope with Lyme disease. Every month, instead of looking to a new space to transform, Marchand, 54, has been pouring thousands of dollars into her treatment. “I would prepare all the construction drawings and the design concepts for stores, restaurants, food courts, chain stores. And I just lost the ability to do any of it,” she says, tearing up. “Because all my cognitive skills were affected. I couldn’t remember anything and I couldn’t focus. I couldn’t have conversations that were in-depth about anything, and I still can’t.” Sitting next to Marchand is friend and fellow Lyme disease sufferer Linda Steele, who notes that remembering all that has been lost can sometimes be the most painful part of the disease. “Talking about it is hard,” Steele, 66, says. “It’s reliving it.” The two women met about 18 months ago through a Lyme disease support group and became fast friends. After reading in the Peace Arch News in August about Louise Roderick’s experience dealing with Lyme disease, they decided to go public with their stories. For Steele, she noticed in the summer of 2002 that she was having difficulty walking. Soon,

pressured out of practice because he was treating Lyme disease with long-term antibiotics and having success with it,” Steele explains. “He said that if you have three positives, you have Lyme. Even though it’s not a reliable test, to have three… You don’t just get three positives.” Murakami directed Steele to a U.S.-based lab – IGeneX – which confirmed she had Lyme disease.
A doctor’s battle According to Murakami, after the BC College of Physicians was made aware he was treating Lyme disease with long-term antibiotic treatment, a chain of events forced him to retire in 2008 at age 77 (“I was still sharp; I had no complaints”). “Finally, they sent two people to my office and handed out pamphlets to my patients saying they were from the college and they were investigating… It was very embarrassing,” Murakami told PAN.
“Of course, doctors are afraid to treat Lyme disease because the college frowns upon it and will harass them. Why harass them? Why not sit down and discuss it?” In an email to PAN, Susan Prins, director of communications for the College of Physicians and Surgeons wrote: “Dr. Murakami is no longer a registrant of the College. I am not sure what he is doing now, but he does not hold a licence to practise medicine in B.C.” She did not comment on Murakami’s claims. Once retired, Murakami founded the Centre for Lyme, offering support, resources and guidance for those afflicted with Lyme, as well as working to educate physicians. According to Murakami, the cause for the low numbers of Lyme disease in Canada is a result of misdiagnosis. “All of the sudden, the rate of Lyme disease drops down to 0.1 per cent (in Canada), and the multiple sclerosis is one of the highest rates in the whole world. How can you explain that? We are making a mistake in the diagnosis. We, as doctors, are calling all our Lyme cases as MS,” he said. A Provincial Health Services Authority internal review in 2010 of chronic Lyme disease in B.C. stated that “the current state of diagnostic method for chronic Lyme and other related infections is inadequate.” The review made eight recommendations, including that a doctor should not be investigated for practising “complementary medicine” or for using nontraditional therapies to treat Lyme. It called for more studies on Lyme disease in B.C. and more efforts to improve diagnosis and treatment. “We still have doctors saying that we don’t have Lyme disease in Canada,” Murakami said. “That’s a criminal statement. “The sooner we discuss it, the better off we are. Unfortunately, infectious-disease doctors vehemently deny there is a disease here.” i see page 12

And for people like Steele and Marchand, who are using antibiotics to manage their ailments, Henry warned while it may be effective initially, the long-term effects could be harmful to their health. “There is a group of people who have problems that are very real, and it’s unclear what is the cause of those problems. And treatment can be very complex and difficult,” Henry said. “I think we still have a lot to learn. “I’m also very wary that there are people – particularly a number of laboratories in the U.S. and clinicians in the U.S. – who are making money off this. And that worries me.” Despite the contention surrounding Lyme disease diagnosis and treatment, Steele and Marchand are determined to reach out to as many people as possible, and will be hosting Murakami at a free event on Lyme disease at Cascade Community Church, 35190 Delair Rd., Abbotsford, at 7 p.m. on Nov. 14. “We want to bring awareness to Lyme disease to prevent others from getting it,” Steele says. “We don’t want others to go through what we’ve gone through.” To contact Steele or Marchand, email vancouverlymeawareness@ hotmail.com

University trio open online store to help homeless shelter
Kwantlen students aim to conquer the cold A trio of Kwantlen Polytechnic University students are making it their business to bring blankets, gloves and other essentials to the less fortunate this winter. As part of their fourth-year practicum class, entrepreneurial leadership students David Dryden of Surrey, Cody Waterfield of South Surrey and Coquitlam resident Stefanie Broad have launched the Conquering the Cold Campaign: an online store that enables customers to buy products for the Vancouver Raincity Triage Shelter. Funds collected will be pooled to facilitate large-volume discounts from suppliers; a portion of remaining funds will be donated to the Greater Vancouver Food Bank. In short, every $20 purchase from the campaign store will buy $20 worth of supplies for the emergency shelter and up to $23 worth of food for the food bank. The students were given $1 to start their business – CDS Entrepreneurial – and run it as a graded project until the end of the semester. Any profits generated will be returned to the Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Venture Fund, which backs businesses formed by KPU business graduates. The project will earn the team part of the six credits to their

Dryden said the practicum prepares them for the business world “because it is the business
world.” “Our group developed the Conquering Cold Campaign to give back to the homeless and less fortunate at a time when they need it the most, while delivering value to the purchaser and ourselves, as our grade is based on our financial
results,” he said. “We wanted to do something creative and different, and we believe we have accomplished that by providing a win-win solution.” The course is a required upperlevel business course unique in B.C. that has two primary aspects:
a company-wide consulting report for a small or medium-sized local business, and the creation of a company that sells a product or service to raise funds for the Kwantlen Venture Fund. “This project began as an experiment, as a way for final-year business students to apply their business skills in the business world,” said instructor Chamkaur Cheema, who meets with students on a weekly basis as their project consultant. “It’s the students who have made this class what it is today, and they get out of it exactly what they put into it: experience, learning, skills, connections.” Waterfield said the practicum has had a real impact on him. “The different aspects of the class incorporated all into one speak volumes of the practical experiences I derive week in and week out,” he said. “The Conquering Cold Campaign is specifically rewarding to myself and my team for both the practical experience and the amazing feeling you get from giving back to the communities around us.” Sales of tarps, toques, gloves and fleece blankets will run until Nov. 12.

Aria fundraiser South Surrey residents and arts patrons Sandy Sereda, Lenore Van Oene and Verna Logan are hosts for an exclusive fundraising event for ARIA, a new contemporary dance performance set to premiere in Surrey and Vancouver in the spring of 2014, under direction of Diskordanse Company’s founderchoreographer Nela H. The fundraiser will be held Friday, Nov. 15 at 7 p.m. in the West Coast Club, at The Breeze by Adera, in Grandview Heights. Described as a “formally edgy, masquerade affair,” the event will feature local fare from Crescent Beach’s The Cabin Restaurant and White Rock’s Five Doors Down. ARIA is planned as the most ambitious production yet by the company, which trains out of the XBa Dance Studio in South Surrey. The unique dance work promises to draw the audience into an interpretation of the reactions – both subtle and violent – that are created when air and fire meet. The show will feature Diskordanse’s trademark style, including staccato movement, unbridled edge and an unconventional playlist of music by such groups such as Loscil (Vancouver-based musician Scott Morgan), Linkin Park, A Perfect Circle, and the Kronos Quartet. Tickets (which must be purchased in advance) and additional information about the fundraising event are available through a link on the diskordanse website, www.diskordanse.ca
Kierah Only a limited number of tickets are available for an upcoming intimate concert aimed at fans of Celtic music – as well as exciting fusions of the form with other idioms. Classically-trained Celtic fiddler extraordinaire Kierah (Raymond) will present a dynamic, highenergy evening of traditional and not-so-traditional music at White Rock’s Blue Frog Studios (1328 Johnston Rd.) Saturday, Nov. 16 at 8 p.m., in company with frequent collaborator, Victoria Celtic/jazz guitarist Adam Dobres. Most-recent accolade for the award-winning 18-year-old South Surrey musician is a nomination for a 2013 Canadian Folk Music Award (young performer of the year) for her newest CD, Stonemason’s Daughter (the awards will be held in Calgary, Nov. 8).
Honeywell Sr. also plays smooth jazz every Wednesday with Bob Storms (reeds), sometimes joined by Rice Honeywell Jr. on blues harp, from 7-10 p.m. at Five Corners Bistro, 15182 Buena Vista Ave. For reservations, 604-5385455.

Dobres has worked extensively with B.C. fiddler Daniel Lapp and Blue Rodeo, and is currently a member of the Ruth Moody Band, which recently opened for Mark Knopfler at the Albert Hall in London.

Death and the Maiden There’s a warning of raw emotions (and very raw language) with Peninsula Productions next presentation, Ariel Dorfman’s psychological thriller Death and the Maiden, Nov. 26-30, 8 p.m., at Semiahmoo Arts’ Centennial Park gallery, 14600 North Bluff Rd. Staged for five performances only in a non-traditional theatre space by director Wendy Bollard, the adults-only production hews close to Chilean playwright Dorfman’s original vision – that his searing, challenging script be presented in a very intimate space. Lori Tych stars as Paulina Salas, a married woman in a Latin American country now returned to democracy after years under a fascistic regime. When her husband Gerardo (Ben Odberg) brings home a guest, Roberto (Guy Fauchon) Paulina is convinced that the stranger is actually the doctor who raped and tortured her when she was incarcerated as a political prisoner. As Paulina becomes obsessed with exacting justice – or is it vengeance? – the play forces us to re-examine our assumptions about democracy. Tickets ($20) are available at www. peninsulaproductions. org

Principal boy ‘Bond, Jimmy Bond’ (Kirstin Stewart), must battle nefarious master criminal Squire Goldringer (Ray Van Ieperen) and rescue his lady love Penny Money (MacKenzie Claus), with the help of Dame ‘M’ (Bryce Mills) in a show that promises “live 3-D” and a guarantee, for fans of obligatory panto-animal Shenanigans, that “no giraffes were harmed during production.” Also playing lead roles in this panto spoof of an equally venerable franchise are Hunter Golden (Fools) as the titular Rumpelstiltskin,

Voted softball president
Reimer reflects on career
McMann named to top ISF post

etired world champion and Olympian Brittany Reimer has another honour to add to her list of achievements. Earlier this fall, the Cloverdale resident was one of three people inducted into the B.C. Swimming Hall of Fame. Reimer, 25, received the honour at an awards banquet hosted by the British Columbia Swim Coaches Association and Swim BC in Whistler, where she was introduced by her former Surrey Knights Swim Club coach, Cory Beatt. Beatt spoke of Reimer’s undying determination, exemplified by her “rather modest initial performances” at the provincial, Western Canadian and national level, describing how in each arena she worked hard to rise to the top. It’s a quality that shone through early on, Beatt said, when Reimer found herself on the bottom rung of the Surrey Knights at age 10, having left the Cloverdale Tritons club. “It was like starting from scratch again,” Reimer recalled. “I was starting with new kids, a new team.” Asked where she found the determination that made her a champion, she said it’s partly from her parents. Her dad is “super hard-working,” she added, and her mom is a cancer survivor who was first diagnosed when Reimer was about seven years old. “I don’t know if it’s related. Who knows?” she said. “It’s part of that don’t-give-up, keep-movingforward attitude.” She also cited the guiding influence of her Knights coach (“Cory was like a second father to me, because I saw him, like, four hours a day”), former teammates and others, all working to help her reach her goal. Reimer’s determination – not to mention her natural skill – i see page 25

Surrey resident Dale McMann is the new leader of the International Softball Federations. McMann was elected president of the ISF last month, running unopposed after longtime president Don Porter (Colombia) announced his retirement and a third candidate, Warren Jones (USA), withdrew his name from the race. The election was held Oct. 23-27 during the ISF Congress in Cartagena, Colombia. During the same week, Surrey was awarded the 2016 Women’s World Fastpitch Championships. The ISF is the international governing body for softball, and is made up of more than 120 countries. “I am honoured with the great trust the membership of the International Softball Federation has Dale McMann ISF president offered me,” said McMann in a news release. “I want to acknowledge the many decades of service Mr. Don Porter has given to our sport and I look forward to his continued guidance and efforts. I would also like to thank my family for their ongoing support… It is a daunting challenge for me to follow Don Porter’s long list of accomplishments.” Porter had served as ISF president since 1987, and was chiefly responsible for getting softball added to the Summer Olympics from 1996-2008. Softball has twice since failed to be reinstated to the Olympic roster, most recently in September when it did not make the cut for the 2020 Games in Japan. Prior to being appointed president, McMann had served as ISF first vice-president since 2009, and from 1993-2009, was the organization’s North American vice-president. Additionally, McMann has served as president of Softball BC, as well as the president of Softball Canada, from 1990 until 2001. “Dale has worked diligently on improving softball around the world for the better part of his life and it is wonderful to see his hard work and dedication recognized,” said Softball Canada president Kevin Quinn. – Nick Greenizan

Valley West moves into third place in BCMML
Hawks earn split with T-Birds Rick Kupchuk Black Press
It was only a split, but it was enough to move the Valley West Hawks into third place in the BC Hockey Major Midget League standings. The Hawks defeated the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds 5-3 Nov. 2 in Abbotsford, then dropped the rematch 5-4 the following day in Langley. At 9-5-0 (won-lost-tied), Valley West moved a point ahead of the Vancouver Chiefs. The Okanagan Rockets and Vancouver Giants lead the league with 10-1-1 records. The Hawks had the opportunity to
improve their record last weekend on a two-game road trip to Kamloops – where they were set to play two games against the winless Thompson Blazers (0-10-2), first Saturday at the McArthur Island Sports Centre and then Sunday in Logan Lake. In Abbotsford against the Thunderbirds, Valley West scored four times in the third period to pull away from their Valley rivals for the win. A goal from Matt Bradley of Surrey had the Hawks in a 1-1 tie after two periods, before Mitch Newsome, South Surrey’s Ty Westgard, Spencer Berry of White Rock and Jordan Funk of Cloverdale scored in a span of eight minutes to give
the Hawks a 5-1 lead with nine minutes to play. Fraser Valley scored twice in the final seven minutes of play to get to within two goals. In the rematch Nov. 3, the Hawks tallied three times in a five-minute stretch to take a 3-1 lead over the Thunderbirds. But midway through the third period, the Hawks still found themselves behind 4-3. Newsome tied the game with 12 minutes remaining, but Fraser Valley netted the winner five minutes later. Paul Smith of White Rock, Bradley and Surrey’s Paul Savage were the other goal scorers for the Hawks.

your sign
Nov. 12-Nov. 16, 2013 ARIES
LIBRA
Aries, you have a lot on your mind, but only one concern demands your undivided attention. Find a quiet space to think things through and trust your gut feelings.
Libra, a spark of ingenuity hits you out of the blue and you know just how to put that inspiration to good use. Set your plan in motion as soon as you are able.
TAURUS
SCORPIO
Taurus, friendships may weaken if you don't keep up your end of the relationship. Make an effort to get together with your friends and take the initiative with planning.
Scorpio, after a few hectic weeks at home and at the office, now is the ideal time for a vacation. Cast all responsibilities aside and enjoy some rest and relaxation.
GEMINI
SAGITTARIUS
Gemini, your approach to a problem is not working. It could be time to take an entirely new approach and see if this produces results. Be patient with this new approach.
Sagittarius, you may prefer to keep certain things to yourself no matter how strongly others insist you share. Don't succumb to pressure to share those things you prefer remain private.
CANCER Don't be surprised if a busy week finds you dog tired come the weekend, Cancer. Use the time off to recharge your batteries on this well-deserved break.
LEO
The City of Surrey is developing a food truck program and we need your input! Street food is growing in popularity across North America.
CAPRICORN Several new opportunities are coming your way, Capricorn. You just need to sort through all of them and figure out just what you want to do in the next few weeks.
AQUARIUS
Few things can hold your interest this week, Leo. Although friends try, they can't seem to keep you focused on any one thing. Expect to jump from task to task this week.
The new season has you feeling refreshed and ready for new beginnings, Aquarius. Make the most of this new lease on life and encourage others to join you.
VIRGO
PISCES
Virgo, an unexpected consequence appears this week and you are caught completely off guard. Don't let others see your surprise. You must simply roll with the punches.
Pisces, maintain your focus around the office, as you will have to juggle multiple tasks in the week ahead.
Many cities are embracing the trend and allowing food trucks to become culinary attractions on city streets.

Life After
Retired from swimming in 2008 i from page 23 eventually pushed her all the way to the national team, where she was the youngest member by far. Yet despite her age, she was a star – at world championships in 2003, she placed fourth in 800-m freestyle and sixth in 1,500-m freestyle. In reporting Reimer’s induction in to the B.C. Swimming Hall of Fame, website SwimSwam.com referred to her as “the Queen of distance swimming in Canada from 2003 to 2007.” Reimer was just 16 when she competed in the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. She finished in 17th spot in the 800-m freestyle – not quite the medal she’d been working for, but more success lay ahead. In 2005, at the World Aquatic Championships in Montreal, she medalled twice in freestyle events – winning silver in the 800-m and bronze in the 1,500m. The times she posted – 8:27.59 in the 800 and 16:07.73 in the 1,500 – remain Canadian records. “I think they’re the oldest, now, on the books. I want someone to break them,” Reimer said, so they can “have that experience for themselves.” Reimer retired from competitive swimming in 2008, at just 20 years old, but has no regrets about retiring at such

Brittany Reimer swims for Canada back in 2004. She retired in ‘08. young age. “I felt like, for my life, I had finished that chapter,” she said. “I knew I had the potential to move on to something else. It’s so much work, and it’s so hard on your body. When you’re done, you’re done.” Reimer is now a Cloverdale real-estate agent and an advocate for youth sports. Last year, she was part of the committee, along with other local swimmers and Olympians, that lobbied the City of Surrey to build a larger pool – more capable of hosting largescale competitions – in the justunder-construction Grandview Heights Aquatic Centre. And though her competitive
swim career is behind her, Reimer is still grateful for the support of Cloverdale residents – many of whom helped ensure her parents were able to travel to Greece to watch her in Athens during the 2004 Olympics. A big fundraiser was held at her high school, Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary. “I wouldn’t have gone where I did if we didn’t have the support of everybody else around us,” she said. “I’m just so lucky to have been at the level I was in my sport. I got the opportunity to meet so many people.” – with files from Nick Greenizan

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN Application #: BNSF-NW-2014
Applicant: Agent:
Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (BNSF), 2600 Lou Menk Drive OOB-3, Ft. Worth Texas 76131. Tel: (817) 352-2732. SMC Consulting, 1582 Lawrence Avenue, Penticton BC V2A 3C1 Tel/Fax: (250) 492-6193 e-mail: smcconsulting@shaw.ca
The purpose of the proposed Pest Management Plan (PMP) is to control vegetation, including noxious weeds and invasive plants, on ballast, rights-of-way, station grounds, yards, and around buildings, shops, material storage areas, crossings, and bridges using the principles of integrated pest management. The pest management methods proposed for use include hand removal and cutting, weed trimming, mowing, brush cutters, chainsaws, and the use of pesticides. The use of pesticides is intended within the area to which the PMP applies. The PMP applies to BNSF property within their New Westminster Subdivision, and is located in proximity to the communities of White Rock, Delta, Surrey, Vancouver and New Westminster. The common name and examples of trade names of the pesticides proposed for use under this plan include: aminopyralid (Milestone), chlorsulfuron (Telar), dicamba (Vanquish), diuron (Karmex DF), flumioxazin (Payload), glyphosate (Vantage XRT), imazapyr (Arsenal), metsulfuron methyl (Escort) and triclopyr (Garlon XRT). Application methods include: wick/wipe on applications, truck mounted shrouded spray boom, back pack/hand held sprayers, power hose and nozzle, squirt bottles and injection tools. The proposed duration of the PMP is from January 31, 2014 to January 31, 2019. A draft copy of the proposed PMP and maps of the proposed treatment areas may be examined in detail at: BNSF Railway, 400 Brunette Avenue, New Westminster, BC, or by contacting the Agent listed above. “A person wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of the pest management plan, may send copies of the information to the applicant (c/o SMC Consulting, Agent, at the address listed above), within 30 days of the publication of this notice”
