City braces for tax bump

Every inch the fighter Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The average White Rock homeowner will be paying an extra $155 in property taxes next year, if council agrees with an increase city staff have proposed for 2014. According to a report that was to be considered Monday evening by council members meeting as the finance and audit committee, the increase – 5.25 per cent, compared to 3.28 per cent that had been projected – is needed to address “major changes in expected operations of the city and resources required.” Financial services director Sandra Kurylo names the possible purchase of the city’s water utility and related infrastructure improvements as the most significant new initiative behind the revamped figure. “While these anticipated expenditures are not yet in the financial plan, it is important to consider this potential transaction and be prudent…” Kurylo writes. The city also needs to boost its focus on building up its reserves “in order for the city to continue to be sustainable in the next 20, 30 or 50 years.” i see page 2

Serena Bonneville, 16, is blogging about her battle with leukemia, after her diagnosis last month.

When describing what leukemia is and what it does to her body, Serena Bonneville sounds as though she is reciting the plot from a favourite television show. There’s mutation, rogue blood cells and a hell of a lot of fighting. In the South Surrey teenager’s blog – chronicling the days following her diagnosis on Oct. 10 of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) – she writes that she pictures the type of cells that have taken over her body as “mindless zombies like from The Walking Dead.” “Their sole purpose is to kill and infect the living as they senselessly wander about unaware that their fate is threatened by the strength of courageous fighters,” she writes Oct. 16. “I, like Rick Grimes, intend on wiping out each and every walker that dared to threaten the human spirit.” The 16-year-old may not look like the small-town sheriff/main protagonist from the hit AMC show but – like Grimes – she’s every inch the fighter. Sitting in her home, where she has been resting after four full days of steroid treatment, Bonneville recalls when symptoms first began. After a bout of walking pneumonia, followed by the removal of all four of her wisdom teeth, the avid soccer and field hockey player expected a bit of a hit to her fitness. i see page 11

Stinging rebuke issued over environmental-impact assessment for Fraser Surrey Docks

Coal-threat report full of holes: health officers Jeff Nagel Black Press

The Lower Mainland’s chief medical health officers say a draft environmental impact assessment (EIA) fails to answer key questions about potential human health risks from a proposed new coal export terminal at Fraser Surrey Docks.

The EIA report – ordered by Port Metro Vancouver in August in response to public concern about coal dust and other impacts – was released Monday. After an early review, Fraser Health chief medical health officer Dr. Paul Van Buynder and his Vancouver Coastal counterpart, Dr. Patricia Daly, issued a joint eight-page sting-

ing rebuke of its shortcomings. “The report does not meet even the most basic requirements of a health-impact assessment,” their Nov. 13 letter said. They said the draft EIA falls “well short of adequately addressing the human health impacts” and leaves them “no closer” to telling the public and local governments

whether increased coal shipments will harm residents. Daly and Van Buynder urged the port to try again, repeating an earlier offer to help design a proper assessment. The health officers had pressed for months for a comprehensive health-impact assessi see page 5

$82,122 raised in one evening in Surrey

Funds for Philippines

Penguin Meat Supply Specials Effective Wednesday, November 20 - Saturday, November 23 vv

Evan Seal Black Press

Residents of Surrey opened their hearts and their wallets on Thursday night in support of the people of the Philippines. After seeing the devastation left in the wake of Typhoon Haiyan, local car dealer Sukhi Bath organized a concert at the Grand Taj Banquet Hall Nov. 14 to raise funds for the Canadian Red Cross. Bath, who spent $23,000 of his own money to host the event, said the evening was a tremendous success. “It went very well, it was way more than I was expecting,” said an excited Bath, who was able to sell 1,200 tickets to the aid concert. Although $82,122.84 was raised throughout the night, Bath has his sights set even higher.

Sukhi Bath speaks at Thursday’s fundraiser. “I will make one more request to my community,” he said, “If I can’t get any more money I will guarantee I will write them (the Canadian Red Cross) a cheque for $100,00.”

‘Increased demands’ for city i from page 1 “Planning should occur now on how this will be achieved, to ensure long-term asset management and renewal.” Council last January approved a 3.38 per cent property-tax increase for 2013 – an amount lower than what was initially projected (3.94) but higher than two figures (2.8 and three per cent) that had been recommended by staff in the months leading up to the final vote. It translated to an increase of about $93 for the average single-family homeowner. The proposed increase for 2014 would mean a boost of about $56 on an average strata property in the city. Another driver Kurylo cited for the pro-

jected increase was the purchase and implementation of a ‘Land Based Management System’ that is anticipated to facilitate automation of several manual processes, as well centralize and integrate a directory of property-related records and transactions in various city departments. “In addition, there are increasing demands on day-to-day operations, more complex finances and accounting, and new non-discretionary challenges such as railway safety and changes in the solid-waste program.” Kurylo notes staff tried to balance costs while minimizing the impact to taxpayers. The report projects smaller increases of 2.5 to 3.4 per cent in each of the following four years.

Subject matter of his book cited, but Griffin credits his blog criticizing the system

Prison revokes writer’s access as visitor Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Surrey author and writing coach Ed Griffin has been locked out of jail. Griffin, an author of several books, poetry, plays and short stories, has been teaching writing to inmates at prisons in this province for years. Founder of the Surrey International Writers’ Conference, Griffin is a local icon in the writing community. As he has in the past, Griffin sent a book – this time his latest book, Delaney’s Hope – to an inmate for editing.

Griffin asserts the problems are more to do with his blog, critical of the correctional service, than it is with his book. He notes that at his appeal, officials noted he writes a blog called Prison Uncensored, where he is quite critical of the system. “I sincerely believe that my severance was related to my blog,” Griffin said. Reached by telephone Thursday, Katz said he had no comment, referring the call to the prison’s media-relations department. A representative from that department declined comment, citing the federal Privacy Act.

North Surrey death

Record case for homicide team Kevin Diakiw Black Press

A man was found dead in Surrey Monday morning, making this year’s body count an all-time record for the city. The man, whose identity was not made public at Peace Arch News’ press time Monday afternoon, was found dead outside a residence near 99 Avenue and 120 Street. He was not believed to be a resident of the home where he was found. It brings to 22 the number of homicides in Surrey this year, topping the 2005 record of 21. As of press time, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) had not determined the cause of death or any potential motive for homicide. Police have said 80 per cent of the homicides this year have had ties to gangs, drugs or at-risk lifestyles. Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said she plans to strike a task force to determine how best to counter the high number of homicides in the city. In 2005, police said they were dealing with a large number of violent drug-related offences, with meth manufacturers and marijuana growers becoming increasingly violent. At the time, police said getting control of the illicit drug trade might help reduce the murder rate. Staff Sgt. Brian Cantera told Black Press eight years ago that investigators would like to see laws that make it easier to go after dealers by getting phone records faster and making it simpler to seize proceeds of crime. Of the 36 files that IHIT is handling this year, 21 of them are in Surrey, representing 58 per cent of IHIT’s caseload in the region. IHIT is asking anyone with information about this incident to call the IHIT tipline at 1-877-5514448, or, if you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

A fatal crash between a dump truck and an SUV resulted when Glen Theriault crossed a double-yellow line into the lane of Jim Neiss.

Judge convicts truck driver of dangerous driving causing death

He drove like ‘no reasonable person’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

When dump-truck driver Glen Edward Theriault crossed a double-yellow line nearly three years ago – ultimately killing a South Surrey man in a head-on collision – it was a “conscious, deliberate, risky decision,” a Surrey Provincial Court judge said Friday. “No reasonable person would even consider driving in the manner the accused did in this case,” Judge Paul Dohm said prior to finding Theriault guilty of dangerous driving causing death in connection with the Jan. 18, 2011 crash that killed 59-year-old Jim Neiss. “The accused deliberately drove dangerously. The only way the accused could not have seen (oncoming headlights) is if he didn’t look at all.” Theriault, 65, has been on trial since midJuly. Friday’s verdict was delivered on the 10th day of proceedings, and brought Neiss’s family and co-workers some consolation. “I feel relief and vindicated,” Brenda Michie, Neiss’s widow, told Peace Arch News outside court. “The judge did an excellent, thorough job. “I feel that justice has been served.” From the trial’s outset, Theriault did not deny that he had driven his westbound truck – which was towing a pup trailer – into the eastbound lane of 16 Avenue over a double-yellow line on the morning in question. The fatal maneuver, which began in the intersection at 200 Street, was an effort to pass two other westbound vehicles, said Dohm, recounting evidence heard over the course of

Justify our every nickel

t a time when many household budgets are being closely watched – and fiercely guarded against unnecessary expense – the frosty news that municipal tax bills are to rise in Surrey and White Rock is unlikely to receive a warm welcome. The annual cost to homeowners (based on the estimated value of an average home in each city) is set to rise by $155 in White Rock and $113 in Surrey for 2014, if bureaucrats’ advice is heeded. That may seem a paltry amount set next to overall civic budgets (Surrey, for example, is planning to spend $763 million next year), and elected officials in both cities will not be slow to remind us that tax increases rooted in extra operating and infrastructure costs, and the upward trend of labour and third-party contracts, are far from frivolous or arbitrary. But we would be remiss if we did not remind them that they are the custodians of the public purse – with all that that implies. In such capacity, it would be prudent to ensure politicians’ customary affection for the dignity and decorum of office does not in any way insulate them from reality or come to resemble complacency. We may be justly proud that our local representatives have not achieved the highprofile impropriety apparently tolerated elsewhere. But that doesn’t mean they, or their actions in spending from the public purse, are invisible or will have no effect come election time. As we grit our teeth over new tax bills, we hope it will not be news to them that in the average Canadian household, expenditures are being subjected to a fine-toothed comb. For many, the new hit to pocket books from taxation will not be conjured away with municipalstyle accounting, or borrowing, or charged to untapped surpluses. It will have to be absorbed in moneys allocated to needed items. For average Canadians, numerous pet projects, nice-to-haves, technological improvements, costly vacations (even those rationalized as working trips) and a host of other “keeping up with the Joneses” requirements are already on hold, if not shelved indefinitely. Much as we may wish to reward old friends and family members with largesse – particularly in the approaching Christmas season – we are in the business of justifying every nickel. It is surely not too much to ask that our elected representatives be just as judicious with what is our money.

easing the restrictions on building a second home on farm properties. Currently, farmers can put a mobile home on their property for an elderly or infirm relative, but nothing with a permanent foundation. Once that relative moves or passes away, the home is supposed to be removed. Hanoski said a sewage system for such a residence costs around $12,000. Add the temporary foundation, skirting, well hookup, power, landscaping, driveway, and a mobile home that will lose its value if it has to be moved, and the property owner takes a loss of $150,000 or more. That’s why the removal rule is routinely ignored in rural B.C., Hanoski said. These second homes are the only rental stock there is, providing modest income for marginal farms, and should be allowed permanent foundations. Motion defeated, after a scolding from a Sunshine Coast delegate about people lusting to build mansions on farmland. I asked Bill Bennett, the cabinet minister in charge of the latest agricultural-land review, about a rumoured proposal to split the province into two zones with different rules. He declined to comment, but described the case of Fort Steele Farms, the East Kootenay community’s only market garden that almost closed because the next generation was initially refused permission for a second home. The two-zones approach deserves serious consideration.

World wouldn’t go to pot if OK’d

Editor: Re: Towers would reduce sprawl: Villeneuve, Nov. 12. In response to the interview with Surrey Coun. Judy Villeneuve, I think it is important at this juncture to bring in the topic of identity when discussing development of the Semiahmoo Town Centre. What is the identity of South Surrey that fits best with the proposal and strategic plan? I am an arts advocate living in South Surrey. I agree with Villeneuve that our arts community is underserved. And I believe the arts are critical to the relationship between cultural identity and identity of place. Since Surrey is one of the fastestgrowing cities in Canada, the issue of density is critical to address. For years, I have intently sought to identify evidence of an arts district in South Surrey, to no avail. Critics point out proximity of White Rock arts amenities in their arguments to nix this proposal. Although there is a natural association, White Rock and Surrey are distinct municipalities. It would be like arguing “you can’t have a gallery in Cloverdale because there is one in Langley,” or “you can’t have a theatre in Whalley because there is one in Delta.” I attended both presentations at the information evening on Oct. 22 and was heartened by the waves of excitement from the diverse members of the arts community about the potential of the proposed arts amenities. Numerous arts colleagues have volunteered hundreds of hours to define what would work well to fill the cultural void that so many of us lament. So, I take exception to the “a bit of a fob” statement made by Semiahmoo Residents Association president David Cann. We also have tried to imagine potential spin-offs and supporting business opportunities that could create a vibrant cultural hub. Here are questions I think should be in the discussions: What is the big picture vision for cultural and town-centre planning in South Surrey? Many people I know identify more with the arts in Vancouver and beyond than in Surrey. How many and how often do South Surrey residents go to Vancouver or even travel abroad to satisfy their art longings? What would keep us invested here and draw in a broader range of artists to live and work in South Surrey? With Surrey City Hall moving north, what about us? Yes, we are long overdue with transit upgrades, but without a pedestrian-friendly cultural hub and a vibrant, identifiable town centre, why would people stop and visit 152 Street beyond shopping and banking? Or is it that improved transit would better give us the identity only of a bedroom community that commutes to Vancouver or other parts of Surrey? We deserve better. Virginia Gillespie, Surrey

Editor: As someone who does not see a problem with the legalization of marijuana, I don’t think it makes sense not to at least decriminalize it. Cannabis can be used as more than a recreational drug. It has many benefits for some people with certain medical conditions. Of course, there are going to be some who will abuse the privilege, but there are many who abuse the privileges of alcohol and tobacco. People die every day from dumb decisions they made while impaired by alcohol. People also die every day from illnesses or diseases they get from smoking tobacco. None have died from too much marijuana, although I acknowledge the fact there are some downfalls to marijuana. I think that if we try to control and show some trust to people who use marijuana, you will be surprised at how little things would change. I do not believe that it would up the crime rate or death rate. There are many petitions circling already in hopes to legalize marijuana. I honestly don’t think it would change much. And with the money that is saved from trying to patrol it, we could use it elsewhere. The places that have already legalized it make a profit at the end of the year. Alyssa Clegg, Surrey

Editor: For years, my family and I have made it a tradition and commitment to attend the annual Remembrance Day service in our community. Each year, we are moved and grateful for the reminders of the lives lost in the many wars Canadians have been involved in. We sing the hymn printed in the program, we listen to a short homily or teaching and we are reminded of local men and women who served in wars throughout history. Often, a number of veterans are present, and they are introduced and welcomed. As a teacher, the services have given me impetus to get involved at my school to plan a service as well, and this year I was especially moved by the minute of silence at a high school, where more than 750 students were asked to pay respect for the fallen. Silence fell like a blanket over the gym, and the honour and respect were palpable in the room. Unfortunately, I did not have the same feeling when I attended the Nov. 11 White Rock service at the cenotaph. Quite frankly, I left puzzled and disappointed from what appeared to be more of a show of placing wreaths than it did a time to remember our veterans and the many men and women who did not return from places of combat. The group that gathered did not seem to understand this was a

Sgt. Jonathan Bogert sounds bugle. solemn service. Applause erupted at each portion of the service. The gathered assembly participated in the singing of O Canada, but there was no hymn or explanation for children about why we observe this day. No veterans were acknowledged, and nothing was said about Remembrance Day itself. Instead, the MC talked about the weather, her pride in the White Rock princesses and thanked the city for the great sound system – as though this were a concert or public show. What was most disconcerting was the actual time of silence: the MC asked us to observe the two minutes of silence 10 minutes early, and the two minutes of silence were condensed into a mere 30 seconds. Did no one have a watch on hand? My companions and I left, noting what was important was that many people came and paid their respect. However, we all agreed we would go elsewhere next year. We also agreed that, as citizens, it was our responsibility to voice our concerns about a service that seemed to have lost its meaning. Lest we forget. Denise Unrau, Surrey

Editor: Re: On the prowl for distracted brains, Nov. 5. I recently drove through the intersection of 152 Street and 32 Avenue in South Surrey and was confronted by two men made up like zombies, holding Halloween signs, pacing back and forth in the median. To say I was distracted by them is an understatement. To say I was offended by them is another subject. I saw a police officer behind them, pointing some kind of camera, and the pick-up police men waiting down the road, to ticket anyone who had broken some law in that intersection.

I had no time, or I would have circled back and told the police officers to remove those zombies, as they were a danger to drivers. To find out later that they were undercover police officers made me shake my head. Had I received a ticket of some kind, due to distracted driving, I would have fought it. Next time, use some other means of evidence gathering, not something as bizarre as zombie policemen. I respect the work of our police forces, but use common sense please, and a safer alternative.

Ongoing road work causing problems for businesses

Construction frustrates Cloverdale merchants Jennifer Lang Black Press

Frustrated merchants are complaining that ongoing work at the old Cloverdale mall site is hurting business. The most recent is Satraj Sandhu of Smile Indian Restaurant, where the parking lot at 5723 176 St. was recently rendered inaccessible for an entire day without warning, he said, as crews worked on prepaving the 175 Street right-of-way, cutting off the parking lot behind his business. “It’s the whole day, I have deliveries,” he lamented, adding he had to cancel several appointments. He said business has dropped since work began, and that customers are frustrated because they’re having trouble finding parking. “We are totally dependent on this business,” he said, adding he fears if the interruptions continue he’ll have to shut his

by heavy equipment and other problems, including laneway access. He said problems arise when merchants don’t get adequate warning that access will be cut off or that there will be roadwork going on directly beside their business. “There’s been times when it’s a full day,” Orazietti said, referring

to road closures. While the city has a right to impede traffic when construction takes place, Orazietti notes, notification has not been timely enough for merchants who need to make alternate arrangements. “They need to give notice, in advance of the date,” he said. “The more notice you can give, the easier people

can prepare.” He suggests opening up better channels of communication with merchants. Meanwhile, there is no mechanism to provide financial compensation to those merchants claiming to have lost business, he said. “So, it’s a burden. It is very much a burden to people who are adjacent to the site.”

Orazietti said there’s very little that can be done to mitigate the situation until the project is complete other than to urge people to patronize businesses that are impacted. “I know there are people who are definitely suffering, and I encourage all the citizens to shop locally and support them.”

According to a Nov. 18 report to council, city staff are supporting a request from Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation officials to invoke naming rights they were granted as a condition of being a partner and primary funding in the centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creation in 2010.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Through her blog, A Change of Perspective, Serena Bonneville, 16, has connected with dozens of people who were inspired by her story. Since the blog went up in October, following her leukemia diagnosis, thousands of views have been recorded. Sarah Massah photo

A Change in Perspective chronicles road to recovery i from page 1 But while walking up the stairs at Southridge, the high school senior became winded. “I was getting out of breath and I thought, ‘OK, this is not right’,” she said. Days later, she became winded going up the stairs in her home, followed by pain in her bones and night sweats. “After that, we decided to take her to the doctor,” her father, James, told Peace Arch News Thursday. “They took an X-ray and did the blood work. The next day, I got a call at work.” The family was advised to take Serena to the BC Children’s Hospital, where it was confirmed she had leukemia. “When they first said it was leukemia for sure, I didn’t even know what leukemia was. I wrote in my blog that the first thing that came into mind was the movie, A Walk to Remember, and then the girl dies in it,” she said. The next day, following a lumbar puncture and bone-marrow

testing, she was told the specific type; ALL is the most common leukemia for children. “(The oncologist) said of all the types of leukemia to get at my age, this is the best. It was a big relief,” she said. While the diagnosis provided some respite, like all cancers it requires treatment. In Serena’s case, that means six to eight months of intense chemotherapy, followed by two years of maintenance. Because of the timeline of her “roadmap to recovery,” Serena expects to miss many days of school during her grad year – a devastating blow. “The moment when I lost it was when she said that most people do graduate, but it is tough. They usually are home-schooled. When she said that I won’t be going to school regularly, I just lost it,” she said. “School is my life. It’s not just school for me. I’m there from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., whether it’s soccer, student council meetings – it’s a really big part of my life.”

After what her dad describes as “I wanted for the most part “10 seconds of losing it,” Serena for people to feel comfortable.

It’s unexpected, Serena said it has also leukemia, it’s a blood cancer, and I brought her comfort. just thought they need to know it’s “I’ve received so many stories the best type of cancer I could have from people going through similar gotten,” she said. “And I’m going things, like Southridge alumni, into it with a positive attitude. which is so cool, and parents who

have gone through similar things. People connect with you and you learn more about other people than I would have ever known before. It gives me hope too, you know, they tell me these positive stories and that really helps,” she said. Friends and family have also rallied to provide financial support, donating in Serena’s name towards research for cancer, which, she noted, is of utmost importance. “I don’t think people realize that they are not just raising the money to show their support for me, but they’re raising money because it actually makes a big difference – specifically, I thought, for teenagers and kids who are going through it,” she said. “Just the fact that I don’t have to be in the hospital for the majority of my chemo makes it so much better, it’s amazing. It’s a big difference for me and my studies and social life. It’s money for research that does all that. If I can do anything to make it easier for other people that go through it too, I’ll be all over it for sure.”

Surrey businesses honoured at annual awards The Surrey Board of Trade recognized eight of Surrey’s best businesses in a variety of different categories last week.

Sole Girls founder Ashley Wiles will bring the program to South Surrey’s Triple Flip. Sole Girls founder Ashley Wiles will host the eight-week program out of Triple Flip in Morgan Crossing starting Jan. 18. The program – which costs $349 and runs Saturdays, 9:30-11:15 a.m. – has one free spot offered to those who are unable to pay the fee. The program, which life-coach Wiles developed to encourage good body image and confidence for girls aged eight to 12, teaches participants how to run while making friends and boosting self-

esteem. “They see this transition, and it helps girls to be able to look into the mirror and say ‘you are beautiful,’ Wiles, 28, said. “As a life coach, I had so many people asking me about losing weight. But it’s not about weight, it’s about how you feel about yourself.” For information, visit www.solegirls.org

Jean Martin, at age 86, is not one to sit idle. Sitting in a large leather chair inside her small Cloverdale apartment, Martin operates two knitting needles like a conductor directing an orchestra. With blue and white wool neatly wrapped around her fingers, she effortlessly carries on a conversation without looking at her hands. The ease in which she works speaks to the years she has been honing her skills. All of her seven children and 16 grandchildren have been the beneficiary of her yarn work over the years, but her current goal is to help children sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never met. Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who lives in Kingston, Ont. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; heard about the Oneness-Heart-Tears and Smiles, a humanitarian service group that offers essential supplies and services to the needy throughout the world. The group had taken dolls to the children of Africa, and so Martin decided she wanted to provide dresses for the dolls. Last year, she made more than 150 dresses, and now she makes shorts and shirts for boys who want dolls as well. Martin figures she has made some-

LIBRA

It's never too late to get healthy, Aries. Find time for some exercise and replace some calorie-laden foods with fruits and vegetables. You will appreciate having an extra hop in your step.

Libra, a little extra concentration will find you tackling your workload with time to spare. Commit your time now and enjoy the time to take things slow later in the week.

TAURUS

SCORPIO

Taurus, a week of passion and romance awaits you and your special someone. Everything you do draws the attention of others. So make it work to your advantage.

Scorpio, signficant changes are afoot and you are not quite sure how to prioritize your goals. Enjoy the change, but make use of down time to reestablish your priorities.

GEMINI

SAGITTARIUS

Gemini, it can be challenging to get your head wrapped around certain tasks. Somehow you will manage to pull everything together and get everything accomplished.

Sagittarius, though a pressing issue in your relationship may seem like it needs immediate attention, you have a lot of time to work through any issues.

CANCER

CAPRICORN

Cancer, maintain your focus in the coming week no matter how difficult that proves to be. Personal concerns may have you reeling, but your heightened focus will serve you well.

Capricorn, your normally conservative approach won't work this week. You have to take a couple of chances, or you won't accomplish much of anything.

Aquarius, you have only a few days to learn some new procedures at work. It is natural to feel nervous, but put aside those feelings and concentrate on the tasks at hand.

Leo, you may have something on your mind, but now is not the time to share such concerns. Do your best to solve a problem on your own, but rely on the advice of others if need be.

PISCES

VIRGO

Pisces, don't worry too much about an upcoming change around the office. You're in position to benefit from some restructuring.

Virgo, do your best to avoid being let down by the negative attitudes of others. Friends or coworkers may just be in a bad mood, but that does not mean you need to be.

Furthermore, its consumption by youth. parents are encouraged to Japreet Lehal Most recently, the view digital content with American Academy their children, instead of Pediatrics (AAP) of kids simply viewing recommended that parents content alone. set time limits on their Youth and children child’s screen time and in Canada consume an implement “curfews” average of seven hours and for media usage during 48 minutes of screen time specific periods of the per day, according to the day, such as bedtimes and 2012 Active Healthy Kids mealtimes.

linked to obesity, behavioural issues, violence and problems in sleep schedules and academic performance. Additionally, valuable time that could have been spent engaging in physical activities is also cut short when youth engage in excessive media consumption. Parents should also try to become good role models. A study released in July by a centre at the University of Pennsylvania found that children emulate their parent’s TV consumption pattern. Hence, parents should limit their own digital-media usage to reasonable levels, so their children make better decisions. Certainly, as Media Smarts notes, positive television programming, such as educational programming, news channels and documentaries, can play an important role and be beneficial. Parents should encourage these alternative

youth voice

programs for children, as substitutes for content that may not add value to a child’s educational and social development. In its recent report, the AAP, in addition to making recommendations to parents, also makes suggestions to schools on media consumption. School physicians or health personnel are encouraged to inform educational institutions and boards about media education programs, the need for rules in relation to school tablets, health risks of excessive and unsupervised media usage, and other important points. Starting with our local school districts, we can place an even greater emphasis on teaching both elementary and high school students about the different aspects of their media usage. Images and themes of violence, sexuality, body

image and drugs/alcohol often appear in media, and students must learn how to differentiate these distorted images from reality. Planning classes in high schools can also place a greater emphasis on teaching students about the content they view. Teachers can find excellent resources to teach students about digital media at: www.mediasmarts.ca/teacherresources With youth being exposed to increasing amounts of digital media at a younger age, parents, schools and children must learn how to effectively navigate the digital world to take advantage of its positive aspects, while protecting themselves from the downsides that come from excessive and unsupervised usage.

CHANGES TO WILLS AND ESTATE LAW IN BC On March 31, 2014 the new Wills Estates and Succession Act will become law in BC. This new law will apply to almost all deaths on or after March 31, 2014, irregardless of when your Will was written. Some of the main changes are: 1. a person can make a Will at age 16; 2. a common-law spouse will have the same rights as a married spouse, including a right to a share in the estate; 3. a beneficiary must survive by 5 days to receive, including under joint tenancy; 4. with regards to any assets held in joint tenancy, if the surviving spouse does not survive by 5 days, then the joint tenancy is severed and ½ the asset would go into each spouse’s estate; 5.marriage no longer cancels a person’s existing Will; 6. if a person dies without a Will, the spouse will receive a larger initial payment, $150,00 or $300,000 depending upon whether all of the children are also the spouse’s children. There are also changes as to how Wills are to be probated. For more detailed explanations of the changes to the Wills and Estates law in BC and how it affects you, we recommend you consult your lawyer. For a limited time usually for 10, 15, or 20 years, most often with renewal options. Horizon Law 604.538.7074

Acted by a cast of student players between the ages of 13 and 17, the heartwarming play is adapted from the classic semi-autobiographical Louisa May Alcott novel – chronicling enduring family values in New England through the heartache and hardships of the American Civil War period – by Marisha Chamberlain, and is directed by SYTCO founder and artistic director Susan Pendleton.

tradition of the White Rock pantomime (Nov. 29-Dec. 28, at Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd.) 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, Krystle Hadlow as Belladonna and Elyse Raible as Jack Russell. Steering the show is director Susanne de Pencier, with valuable contributions by costume designer Heather Maximea, set designer

Andrea Olund, property mistress Naomi Mitchell, producer Matthew Davenport and stage manager Gordon Mantle. Shows run Wednesday to Saturday at 8 p.m., with 2:30 p.m. matinees Dec. 1, 8, 15 and 22.

Coastal FC’s Ryan Young hops past Ermias Andemeskel of the Central City Breakers during a Fraser Valley Soccer League men’s masters division game Saturday afternoon at South Surrey Athletic Park. The visiting Central City club won the game, 1-0.

A late goal from Jonah Renouf Saturday night in Prince George salvaged what could have turned out to be another rough weekend for the Surrey Eagles. On Saturday against the Prince George Spruce Kings, Renouf scored what turned out to be the game-winning goal with just 1:08 left in the third period to give the visiting Birds a 2-1 advantage. The goal – and the victory – allowed Surrey to escape their two-game Prince George road trip with a 1-1 record, and helped erase the memory of Friday night’s 7-1 loss to the Kings. Surrey sits fourth in the BC Hockey League’s Mainland Division, with a record of 10-15-1-0, but are just one point back of the third-place Coquitlam Express, who’ve lost two straight. Friday night’s debacle at the Prince George Coliseum began with the Spruce Kings jumping out to a 2-0 lead by the 13:17 mark of the first period, with both goals coming off the stick of Brogan O’Brien. O’Brien completed the hat trick in the third period, scoring the team’s seventh goal. Surrey forward Dalton Heinen tallied for the Eagles near the end of the first period, but the second frame was the visiting team’s undoing. Prince George scored four times in the period, including a natural hat trick – three straight goals – from Brent Lashuk. Lashuk’s third goal chased Eagles’ starter Devon Fordyce from the net, and he was replaced by Bo Didur. Surrey allowed 50 shots on net in the loss, while managing just 29 on Spruce i see page 27

Elgin Park senior boys soccer team in midst of best-ever season

Reluctant ‘coach’ leads team to provincials Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

For the longest time, Cari James thought her students were just joking around. Back in September, when the school year began, Elgin Park Secondary Grade 12 student Justin Duck and a few of his soccer teammates would badger James – who teaches English and Spanish at the school – about coaching the school’s senior boys team. Every day for more than two weeks, they’d come into her classroom. “Coach us. We need a coach. C’mon, help us out.” It took weeks for James – who has taught at Elgin Park for 13 years but admits she’s “not at all athletic” and has zero coaching experience in any sport – to

At Valleys, they placed fifth overall, which was enough to punch their ticket to the provincials for the first time in school history. The B.C. Senior Boys Soccer Championships begin Thursday in Burnaby Lake. “I thought we had potential, I always did,” said Duck. “Our first goal was just to win one game. Then it became, ‘OK, let’s win another one,’ or ‘let’s win five games’ and then ‘let’s make Fraser Valleys’ and now we’re at provincials. We never looked too far ahead. “It’s kind of like this fairytale i see page 26

which were released last week. Blacklock – as well the eight other BCHLers on the list – were ranked as ‘C’-level prospects for the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. Another former Surrey Eagles, Delta native Demico Hannoun, was also on the prospects list.

Soccer provincials begin Thursday themselves. “These guys, they get enough coaching in their (club) leagues, and I think they just wanted the opportunity to have fun, and play how they wanted to play, and not have a coach yelling at them about this or that. “Before this year, they never really took highschool soccer seriously because they didn’t really care about the team… but this is their team now, and they care about it.” They’ve started to get some notoriety within the walls of their own school, too. In previous years, Thorne said, the team was something of an afterthought. But now, students show up to their games at South Surrey Athletic Park to cheer them on, and players – and James, too – are stopped in the halls and asked about how the team is doing. “I don’t know if anyone expected us to succeed. I think people – even in our school – thought we were going to be a bit of a joke, playing with no coach,” Thorne said. “But Ms. James saved the day.” James says the team “has put boys soccer on the map” at Elgin, and though her coaching role involves more paperwork than she expected, she called it “one of the most fun things I’ve ever done as a teacher.” Elgin Park will begin its run at a provincial title Thursday, and the team’s senior players waffle between being just happy to be there and wanting to win the whole thing. But regardless of the outcome, the season has already been a huge success, they all agree. “Nine of our starters are in Grade 12, so this is our only shot for a lot of us,” Duck said. “We have to take it.”

i from page 25 story of a season.” And while James is listed as the team’s official coach, she says she’s more of a motivator, while the actual coaching is done by Duck, whom she is quick to credit for the team’s on-field success. “From Day 1, Justin has been the coach. He got the group together, he organized and led the tryouts, he leads the practices and holds the strategy meetings with a few of the other guys,” James said. “I’m just the glorified cheerleader, but that’s what they wanted. Right away, they said, ‘We don’t need someone to tell us how to play. We need encouragement, we need some positive energy.’” James brought that energy in the form of purple pompoms – which she waves on the sidelines after goals – as well as a bubbly, positive attitude that’s been infectious to a team that was used to losing and, the players will admit, not a whole lot of fun. “I think, at first, they didn’t like the pompoms, but now I think they like them,” she laughed. “And I write them silly little songs and sing to them, that kind of thing – and they love it.” On the field, the team has been buoyed by a strong defence – led by a talented back-line and the goalkeeping of Colton Cook, who had been plying his trade in Germany for SC Stätzling’s U17 team but returned to Elgin Park after the team’s first game. But as much as anything, James credits the team’s out-ofthe-blue success to the simple fact that the boys are having fun, and playing for

Cloverdale netminder heads to Oklahoma City

Brossoit dealt to Oilers Rick Kupchuk Black Press

Laurent Brossoit’s first two months as a professional hockey player can best be described as hectic. After four seasons with the Edmonton Oil Kings of the Western Hockey League, the goaltender has been traded once and has put on the jersey of three minor league teams in a span of four weeks this season. The most recent move saw Brossoit back in the same organization he left last spring. The Edmonton Oilers of the National Hockey League (NHL), owners of the majorjunior Oil Kings, acquired the Cloverdale native in a trade Nov. 8. “Very excited to be a part of the Edmonton Oilers organization. Thank you everyone for all the support already,” Brossoit posted on Twitter the day of the trade. Brossoit was drafted by the Calgary Flames in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, and after training camp in September was assigned to the Abbotsford Heat of the American Hockey League. He made his first appearance as a professional was on Oct. 18 as a backup, and he played the

His first start two days later in Cedar Park, Texas was one he would like to forget. He made 33 saves in a 9-3 loss to the Texas Stars. A week later, the Flames reassigned Brossoit to the Alaska Aces of the East Coast Hockey League, where he was perfect in three starts against the Bakersfield Condors in Anchorage Nov. 1-3.

He played six minutes in the first game, making eight saves in as many shots in a 6-3 win. He got the start in the next two nights and made 16 saves in each game for victories of 5-0 and 4-0. The Flames then dealt his NHL rights to the Oilers, who promptly placed Brossoit on their AHL affiliate, the Oklahoma City Oil Barons. Brossoit has yet to take to the ice for the Oil Barons, dressing for two games as a backup goaltender to Tyler Bunz.

Our beautiful and loving mother, grandmother and sister, Nita, passed away on November 11, 2013 after enduring a number of illnesses that presented physical challenges but never took away her good spirits and optimism. Born March 4, 1922 on Sagona Island, Newfoundland, she lived many lives in different parts of the country. Nita is survived by her daughters Margot and Katherine, their husbands Stephen Lane and Martin Lockyer, her grandchildren Griffin and Emily Lockyer, her sisters Sadie Hamilton, Clarissa (Charles) Stevenson, Dorcas (Stan) Keller, and Shirley Burgess. She also leaves brother in law Norm Tiller, sisters in law Sylvia Keeping and Mary Crosbie as well as many nieces and nephews.. After leaving Sagona to pursue her nursing studies at Grace Hospital in St. John’s, NL she worked in various cottage hospitals in Newfoundland before travelling to Toronto for bigger opportunities. After meeting her future husband William (Bill) Crosbie in Muskoka she moved to Windsor, Ontario and married in 1952 . She pursued various interests (golfing, bowling, bridge, gardening, ceramics) travelled with her husband and friends (after Bill’s untimely death in 1978) and volunteered with the IODE and the May Court Club. Nita moved back to St. John’s to join Katherine and enjoyed many happy years with family and friends and watching her grandchildren grow up. She continued her interest in financial affairs and enjoyed entertaining in the home she had decorated and was so proud of. Her next life was in British Columbia where she moved to White Rock to be closer to her grandchildren and lived for 9 more years. She overcame cancer and lupus but eventually other illnesses took their toll and her last year presented many physical challenges. Nita passed away on November 11, 2013 at Peace Arch Hospital where she was very grateful for the care of the nurses on 6 North. A memorial service will be held on Friday, November 22, 2013 at 2 p.m. at the Church of the Holy Trinity at 15115 Roper Avenue, White Rock, BC, followed by a reception at Katherine and Martin’s home. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate a donation in memory of Nita to the United Ostomy Association of Canada Inc. http://ostomycanada.ca/donations or by sending your donation to 344 Bloor Street West, Suite 501 Toronto, ON M5S 3A7.

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”
