Mayoral candidates’ trade shots over proposed policing policies, funding
Unarmed officers pose danger: Hepner Kevin Diakiw Black Press
Mayoral candidates are under fire as opponents ask how they will fund their increased policing promises. And Linda Hepner is accusing former Surrey First teammate Barinder Rasode of endangering the community with her plan to hire 200 community-safety personnel – trained like police officers but unarmed, to respond
to minor incidents and free up regular RCMP officers to take on the more serious issues. Hepner dismissed Rasode’s plan as nearly identical to the Surrey Crime Strategy “which has been in place since 2007, is almost 90 per cent complete and was developed with input from more than 100 community agencies and organizations.� “The only real difference is that Rasode’s version will spend $8 million to put 200
well-intentioned, but inexperienced, citizens on the street, creating a danger to themselves and the community,� Hepner said in a news release Thursday afternoon. “The people she’s talking about are not trained police officers. Policing is serious business and it needs to be handled by professionals.� Rasode announced last week that her plans as mayor would include soon-to-be retired Delta Police Chief Jim Cessford in a new role
as a deputy city manager to oversee police, firefighters, the legal department and bylaws. She said her safety-personnel plan will cost about $8 million and can be funded with the one per cent of unused discretionary funding she said city staff has told her is available. That figure would eventually rise to $12 million per year when the officers reached a full pay rate of $28 an hour. i see page 9
New role for Smith
Hospital champion moves on to BCIT Alex Browne Staff Reporter
It’s a time of mingled excitement and sadness for Jackie Smith. The executive director of the Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation will be moving on to a new post in the new year – as executive director of the BCIT Foundation in Burnaby. “It’s a newly created position,� said Smith, adding the foundation is seeking to help and grow funding for education through Jackie Smith the institute in executive director the same way that the PAH foundation has focused and consolidated support for health care on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. “I’m an alumnus of BCIT – it almost feels like going full circle in life and career for me,� she said, adding that Kathy Kinloch, president of the institute for the past nine months, was a former chief operating officer for Fraser Health. i see page 8

Annable, Sinclair team up with incumbents, two others to form coalition
Civic-slate idea returns to White Rock Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
With the election-nomination deadline on the fast-approaching horizon, White Rock’s list of council hopefuls is growing and shifting shape – with the announcement this week of a slate – and a pledge to challenge the mayor’s seat has been withdrawn. A half-dozen White Rock council candidates, including two incumbents, plan to officially
launch their team effort this Friday at 5 p.m. – one hour after the nomination period for the Nov. 15 municipal election closes. A statement released Monday identifies incumbents Grant Meyer and Bill Lawrence, former councillors Lynne Sinclair and Cliff Annable, notary Megan Knight and Tourism White Rock vice-president Doug Hart as members of the White Rock Coalition. It describes the slate as “a non-partisan team

OxyContin seized in Surrey last month
Police issue warning about counterfeit drugs Kevin Diakiw Black Press
Surrey Mounties are warning the public about some deadly counterfeit OxyContin that’s hit the streets. On Sept. 5, the Surrey RCMP seized about 4,700 tabs from two undisclosed locations in Surrey as part of an ongoing investigation. The pills are of a greenish marbled colour and have “80” imprinted on them. The value of these 80-mg pills, if sold in this dosage, would be in excess of $350,000. A recent analysis has confirmed these tablets contained elements of

Counterfeit pills seized. caffeine and fentanyl, a powerful, synthetic opiate similar but more potent than heroin or morphine. Surrey RCMP are advising
drug users to be extremely cautious. Counterfeit OxyContin has led to many deaths across the country. Earlier this year, the BC Coroner’s Service attributed 13 deaths to fentanyl overdoses in the first four months of 2014. None of these deaths have occurred in Surrey. “We know that this prescription drug is a popular choice among recreational drug users,” said Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet. “As a result, we want to warn those users in the community to take the necessary precautions to ensure their safety.”

ER patients face questioning, quarantine if recently in West Africa
Surrey Memorial preps for Ebola virus Jeff Nagel Black Press
Fraser Health officials are confident they’ll be able to safely isolate any Ebola patient that arrives in the region at Surrey Memorial Hospital and prevent any secondary spread of the disease ravaging West Africa. Health-care workers in the region have already intercepted a number of suspected Ebola cases but then ruled them out following secondary screening, said Dr. Elizabeth Brodkin, Fraser’s executive medical director for infection prevention and control. Those patients weren’t tested because it was determined from their answers to questions that they had not been to the specific
areas where the virus is circulating. “We obviously had no confirmed cases but we did have a number we had to evaluate,” Brodkin said. “Half a dozen perhaps so far. People come back to Canada from Africa every day. So it’s really inevitable that we’re going to see people who have been to that part of the world who have a fever.” Provincial health officer Dr. Perry Kendall has also predicted B.C. may see a few cases of Ebola arrive from Africa, similar to the first confirmed Ebola case in the U.S. that was announced last Tuesday in Texas. “Given the size of the outbreak in West Africa and given how easily people travel around the globe, it is certainly possible that
we will see a real case at some point,” Brodkin added. “The risk to British Columbians is extremely low. Even if a true case actually arrives, I have every confidence that that case will be quickly isolated and managed in a way that means there would be no secondary spread or outbreak in British Columbia.” All patients who arrive at Fraser hospital emergency departments with a fever are being asked about their travel history, and they’re taken to isolation areas for further questioning if they indicate they’ve been in West Africa in the last 21 days – Ebola’s incubation period. The virus can only be spread through direct contact with bodily fluids.
Asked why Surrey Memorial was chosen as the potential regional Ebola containment site, Brodkin said the new critical-care tower there has state-of-the-art infection control. “We can safely isolate any patient in a room in that tower and be able to provide care to them while at the same time protecting the health-care workers who are looking after them and other patients who may be on the unit or in the tower.” She said the ability to quickly diagnose cases and safely isolate them is what is missing in Africa, fueling the Ebola outbreak there. The deadly virus has killed more than 3,200 people in West Africa – close to half of those who contract it.
Surrey Six verdict
Families rejoice Sheila Reynolds Black Press
Applause erupted and sighs of relief drifted through a packed Vancouver courtroom Thursday morning as a judge found two men guilty of planning and carrying out the execution of six men in a Surrey apartment seven years ago. People inside B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver cried, embraced and shook hands after Cody Rae Haevischer and Matthew James Johnston were convicted by Justice Catherine Wedge of conspiracy to murder drug dealer Corey Lal and with six counts each of first-degree murder for the slayings of Lal and his brother, Michael, Eddie Narong, Ryan Bartolomeo, Ed Schellenberg and Christopher Mohan. Mother Eileen Mohan – who attended most of the lengthy trial since it began last fall – was all Evan Seal photo smiles following the guilty verdicts. Eileen Mohan reacts to the court’s decision in Vancouver on Thursday.

New Pattullo regardless of referendum: VP
TransLink pushes for bridge Jeff Nagel Black Press
Motorists will likely get a new tolled Pattullo Bridge regardless of whether Metro Vancouver residents approve a referendum on new taxes for TransLink next year. The billion-dollar replacement of the aging Pattullo is part of the mayors’ council vision for $7.5 billion in transportation upgrades released in June and was expected to offer a reason to vote ‘yes’ for residents who drive and care little about transit. But senior TransLink executive Bob Paddon on Thursday insisted the bridge replacement must proceed even if the referendum is defeated. “Regardless of the outcome of the referendum, we need to get this finished,” Paddon said, explaining the new bridge can be paid for with tolls and isn’t dependent on a ‘yes’ vote. The executive vice-president for strategic planning and public affairs went on to say TransLink has ruled out a major $300-million rehabilitation of the bridge – which would have shrunk it to three lanes and made it safer to use for another 20 to 30 years. Instead, he said, a $100-million bare-bones deck replacement and seismic upgrade would go ahead, starting early in 2015, while planning proceeds to build a replacement four-lane bridge, expandable to six, that would open in 2023. The referendum question has not yet been determined but Paddon said the bridge replacement doesn’t need to be part of it because “this is a tolled facility

TransLink will insist on a Pattullo replacement, regardless of vote. that generates its own revenue, so it can go on its own merits.” TransLink has the legal authority to impose specific bridge tolls, as it did when it built the Golden Ears Bridge. Following the first interview, Paddon called back to clarify that a final decision on rebuilding the Patttullo wouldn’t come until late 2015, after the referendum result. He also said a ‘no’ vote would raise some questions about the financing of the project. Paddon said a new tolled Pattullo would face a similar shortfall in tolls generated in its early years as has been experienced at the so-farunderused Golden Ears Bridge, requiring a front-end subsidy of about $90 million that is currently assumed to be covered through referendum-approved taxes. “We have a consensus now to replace the bridge,” Paddon said of discussions between the mayors earlier this year. “But that gap of $90 million would have to be
figured out before there’s an absolute go on replacement.” That estimate was calculated based on an assumed initial toll of $3 per crossing, although Paddon said that was tentative and could change, particularly if a new road pricing model for reformed tolling is developed before the new Pattullo opens. He said TransLink’s modeling suggests Pattullo use would drop after tolls are imposed on the new crossing from about 80,000 crossings a day now to less than 60,000. Travel times would also decrease an estimated 15 per cent. Metro Vancouver board chair Greg Moore said he was surprised by Paddon’s statements that the Pattullo can proceed without referendum approval. Moore said it “took a lot of work” for mayors to reach agreement on the Pattullo replacement as part of a fully integrated transportation plan. “If you just build a bridge and not build a better transit system south of the Fraser, you’re not building out the overall plan and not achieving the goals in the plan,” Moore said. Asked if he’s concerned motorists will vote against the referendum if they can get the new bridge without also paying higher taxes for transit, Moore said he wasn’t sure. “It’s the overall vision and pieces of the plan that are important for the ‘yes’ outcome,” Moore said. “If you start to take parts out of the plan, it could affect why someone might vote a certain way within the referendum.”

Wrong place, wrong time
T
he recent verdicts against Cody Haevischer and Matthew Johnston for the ‘Surrey Six’ slayings show that justice – sometimes, at least – is done. The wheels turn slowly, but they at least turn. There was understandable elation at the results of the trial among relatives of the six men shot in cold blood in a Whalley apartment on an October morning in 2007. They have waited seven years for justice for their loved ones. And appreciation has been shown to the police officers who methodically built their case against Haevischer and Johnston, and Crown counsel who saw it through to its conclusion. As has been noted, the Surrey Six case is far from over. There are appeals to be heard and further trials to be held – one of them for the man police believe ordered the shooting that precipitated the tragedy. It won’t be over, for us, even after these legal cases are concluded. So many lives were affected when the hit on drug dealer Corey Lal went sideways. Three other men linked to the drug trade happened to be at the apartment when the killers arrived for Lal, plus Ed Schellenberg, who was there only to repair a gas fireplace. Chris Mohan, unfortunate enough to witness the arrival from the apartment hallway, was forced into the apartment with the others. All six were executed – five of them only, it is believed, to silence potential witnesses. While we shake our heads in commiseration with relatives of innocent victims, and talk about the happenstance of people being “in the wrong place at the wrong time,” we can’t afford to distance ourselves from it even to that degree. We are all victims of this crime. The moment illicit profit and animosity against a rival became far more important than the lives of five others – two of them in no way connected with the drug trade – each of us became potential targets. The wrong place is a city where many of us live; the wrong time one in which many of us were also going about our day-to-day business. When the monstrosity of gang violence walks our streets, who of us can truly say we are safe? We can’t let satisfaction at the incarceration of two perpetrators numb us to our abhorrence of this crime, or allow ourselves to become bogged down in pre-election political rhetoric. The will of the people is clear – we want to live in a community where we don’t have to worry about such incidents. Until we make it clear such violence won’t be tolerated by society, the gun, figuratively, is at all of our heads.

lines and highways that cross the same rivers and streams? Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan boasted that after his first court challenge to the National Energy Board was tossed out, his high-priced eco-lawyer found a constitutional angle. Cha-ching! Meanwhile, professional protesters bikelock their necks to the fence at Burnaby’s Westridge oil terminal, and a radical Simon Fraser University professor revives his Occupy Vancouver team to step up the ground war if courts falter. The comedy of all this was illustrated by Coun. Robin Cherbo from Nelson, who assured delegates he uses synthetic oil in his vehicle. Is that derived from organic sunflowers? And what significance does that gesture have compared with the gasoline and jet fuel that carried 1,200 delegates to Whistler? Cherbo assumes that Ottawa can simply direct Alberta’s oil industry to start refining all the heavy oil there. Half a century into this industrial mega-project, this stuff should just be banned from pipelines. Peace, man. This is why election-time posturing by local politicians is a slippery slope. Not only do they lack authority, they and their staff lack the required expertise. The Trans Mountain pipeline starts in Alberta and branches into the U.S. It is by definition federal jurisdiction. NEB hearings on its expansion continue, with expert input, especially on shipping risks, from the B.C. government, Green MLA Andrew Weaver and others. Municipal politicians should pipe down and defend their own performance. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Honouring our Hump’s history Editor: Re: Task force seeks to rename The Hump, Oct. 2. After reading about “The Hump,” I would like to suggest a name. It could be called Washington Hill. Marine Drive was Washington Avenue, it faces Washington state, its visible to Washington people, and it is the closest street in White Rock for people travelling to Washington State. As it was a hill on Washington Avenue, it keeps that part of history alive. Better than “Eagle Hill,” or…. Don Horn, Surrey Q I remember the 1950s with some nostalgia, when the sidewalk on “The Hump” was a boardwalk, and it was called “the boardwalk.” How nice. Lois Smith, Surrey

The soul of our community Editor: “Big things have small beginnings” sums up the birth of International Artist Day, Oct. 25. Inspired to give artists a day of recognition for their contributions to society, White Rock artist Chris MacClure conceived the idea and implemented it on the Internet in 2004. Artists are the unseen and unsung creators in our midst, and we can barely touch a single thing that hasn’t its origin in art. Whether it is design, architecture, culture, literature or everyday products, artists are the inspiration. Creativity is the life force behind everything, and we need to find ways to honour our creative spirit through our artists. Nurturing and moving IAD along bit by bit, the idea has taken hold on a global basis, with artists, whole cities, schools, galleries and art aficionados finding ways to celebrate and honor the artists in their communities. To that end, the city of White Rock implemented an economic and arts task force to find ways of integrating business with the arts in South Surrey/White Rock. The IAD Festival was chosen as a vehicle to begin this amalgamation, and last year’s event was a huge success. The backbone of any city or town are its artists, philosophers, writers, architects, engineers, artisans and all the other individuals who bring in the unseen heart and feeling dimensions to their communities. We need to ask ourselves if we support those whose contributions enliven our lives, or do we take the expedient way out for ourselves and let others do the work? The kind of world we want for ourselves and our children we create for ourselves by our choices. The Internet has done miraculous things for our lives, but the soul of our community comes from our arts and artists, and we ignore them

Letter writers appear to be divided on the future, after 100 years of train tracks along the Peninsula waterfront.
Be careful what they wish for Editor: Unchecked, the thinly veiled hand wringing and schadenfreude – at those perceived to be “elite” – will kill the entire South of Fraser region. Real estate value and quality of life are not zero-sum games. If White Rock trips, Cloverdale falls. And so does Langley, Newton and Delta. Money has legs. It will walk away from an inaccessible foreshore that runs 24/7 freight, blowing horns day and night. The restaurants, shops, and culture of White Rock will fail. Investment into a largely retirement- and lifestyle-based economy will drop. Toronto ruined Parkdale by cutting it off from the lake with the Queen Elizabeth Way. No one dreamed that owners would leave grand Victorian homes, and waterfront bargains quickly became rooming houses. The cancer grew across the region, and created areas like Rexdale, where Mayor Rob Ford famously bought crack. Mississauga and Brampton evolved with no single redeeming reason for anyone to ever visit them. The destruction of White Rock eliminates any chance for the South of Fraser region to become a relevant and complementary part of Vancouver. Everyone who stays will be forever loading kids and visitors into cars, driving them into the big city, to walk the Stanley Park seawall or to eat at a charming, non-chain restaurant. In contrast, the bay region of San Francisco respected their foreshore, and the towns of Cupertino and Palo Alto grew to create Silicon Valley. Be careful what you wish for, if your only goal is to hurt others. It’s a big backyard. Erik Seiz, Surrey Q Coal is not a dirty word. People fail to understand its importance. Its history is this. Coal was used to provide fuel for blast furnaces to make steel from iron ore and to provide fuel for steam locomotives to move trains on steel rails to build North America, especially west of the Rocky Mountains. Without those trains, where Vancouver is today would be a colony with people eating gruel from wooden bowls with wooden spoons and the White Rock area would be a forest. The town council should be careful what they wish for (Trains can be gone in 5 years: Baldwin, Sept. 11; Hepner
pledges to relocate trains, Sept. 18). Trains are a great attraction for the waterfront. When trains pass through, people stop what they were doing to watch. Where else can one see these big, colourful diesel electric units at 15 m.p.h. pulling 80 cars of one of the most important natural resources anywhere on the planet. Try to picture White Rock without trains that make the waterfront unique. Of course, without those tracks, the parking lots could be extended to the water’s edge with a large green space for the environmentalists to roll in the daisies and smoke pot. When trains are rerouted through Sumas, the tracks through White Rock will be gone forever because the rail road will not maintain two routes to the same destination, so the time has come when it’s too late to choose what trains will run on those tracks. There are plenty of examples where getting rid of a hundred years of history has left the planners asking themselves where did we go wrong. Howard Rogers, Surrey
Solutions in short supply I’ve been reading the letters about moving the rail line from White Rock, but not one letter writer has offered up a solution. Having worked for CP Rail for 35 years, I have built my share of tracks. There are numerous problems to consider. First, the border crossing. Do we ruin the park on the west side? Second, we have to decide to follow Highway 99 on the west side, or cross over and go up the east side. Both routes are going to impact residences and businesses along the route. Now comes the biggest obstacle – the hill. Railways, unlike cars, can’t go straight up and down, so now they have to angle up and over and angle down, reducing the grade. More land expropriated, more homes and businesses moved. I guess they could tunnel through the hill; imagine what that would cost. The solution offered by letter-writer Gary Cameron (Rail-moving arguments, Sept. 30) makes the most sense. Slow the trains down, stay off the tracks and use common sense. Don Gustafson, Surrey

Candidates list police-plan funding i from page 1 Hepner’s news release said the city, province and federal government must work with the community to tackle the “root causes of many crimes.” “When I hear someone say they’ve got a simple solution to public safety, I say there’s no such thing. Anyone who wants to be mayor of Surrey and says they’ve got a simple solution to policing, crime and public safety isn’t being honest with our citizens,” she said. Surrey First incumbent councillor Tom Gill was critical of Rasode’s costing for her plan, saying it must factor in about 20 per cent more in benefits ($2.4 million), bringing the figure north of $14 million annually, plus more for operating and capital costs. Surrey First, meanwhile, is planning to hire 100 more RCMP officers, at a cost of $10 million annually. Once cars, equipment, uniforms, etc., are added, the figure rises to $15 million each year. Gill said there are several areas where the city would find smaller portions for the required funding, including $5 million from new development, $7 million from a planned 2.9-per-cent property tax increase, $13 million from secondary-suite fees and $4.5 million from Surrey City Development Corporation (SCDC) dividends.

Mayoral hopeful withdraws from White Rock council race i from page 1 “People in White Rock aren’t receptive to slates and are somewhat mistrustful of them,” Baldwin said at the time. Members ran as independents, with only Baldwin elected. The last time a slate listed on a White Rock civic ballot was successful was in the 2008 election, when candidates endorsed by Citizens for Positive Renewal swept the polls, claiming all but one seat. Members included Sinclair and now-incumbent councillor Helen Fathers, but Fathers parted ways with the group 2½ years later, attributing the decision to a matter of “conscience.” Prior to that, Judy Forster was elected mayor in 2002 as part of a five-member slate, and was reelected as an independent three years later. In Monday’s news release, Meyer states, “It’s time that our city has a team of people representing a wide variety of interests and expertise who are able to bring independent viewpoints to issues facing our community, but at the same time who are able to work together with a common goal of achieving the very best decision for the entire city of White Rock.” Of the six coalition members, only Meyer, Knight and Hart had filed nomination paperwork with the city by Peace Arch News’ press time Monday afternoon. Hart’s intention to run in the upcoming election was announced by Tourism White Rock in a Sept. 29 news release. He stepped down from the TWR board to pursue the seat – a move TWR president David Webb described as “the right thing to do in this situation to avoid any perceived conflict of interest.” According to the city’s website, the race list for councillor seats in White Rock numbered eight as of Monday afternoon. Names new to the list since PAN’s Oct. 1 print deadline include Hart, David Chesney, Dennis Lypka and Fathers.
No one had filed papers for the mayor’s seat, although one resident who told PAN early last month that he would be in the race now says his name will not be on the ballot. Brooke Colby said by email Thursday that a “personal health problem” has forced him to step aside. “I must withdraw from mayoral race as I would not be able to complete my duties if successful,” Colby writes.

Ian Herring is a member of one of New Westminster’s oldest families, descendants from the original sappers that settled the city.

Ian Herring’s father, Phil, travelled the world from his kitchen table. He crossed oceans, rounded the southernmost tip of South America, alighted in Bermuda, Quebec and Corfu, Greece. He stopped in Dublin, Ireland and Chatham, England. He logged his journeys in notebooks and scraps of paper and squirrelled them all away in a box. When Phil Herring passed away in 2007, the box went to Ian, who stored it for safe-keeping. It was only after his mother, Marion, died in 2012, that Herring felt any sort of compulsion to open the box. At her funeral, family members that had gathered swapped

Elizabeth Herring, an occasional correspondent for the Globe & Mail newspaper as well as a prolific fiction writer, had disguised elements of the family’s history in her eight novels. “If you knew what you were looking for, then you were able to pull out threads,” said Leivo. Computer technology and the extensive digitization of archival records into searchable databases has made researching family trees a little easier, said Leivo. But much still depends on good luck, a snippet of conversation, a surprise discovery and intuition. That’s why Herring and Leivo are hosting the first Families of Early New Westminster: the Herring Memorial Symposium, on Nov. 1 at the Glenbrook Park Amenities Centre. The symposium is a tribute to
the work started by Phil Herring as well as a way to bring together others in the city on a similar journey of family discovery. “You get people together who just want to talk, figure out how to solve roadblocks,” said Leivo. The free symposium will include presentations by heritage planner Jim Wolf, historical re-enactor Tim Watkins and local historian Brent Stratichuk. “We’re always looking for what’s next,” said Herring, of his quest to continue his father’s journeys into the family’s past. “It’s all about the stories.” The Herring Memorial Symposium is Sat., Nov. 1, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Glenbrook Park Amenities Centre, 76 Jamieson Court.

It’s a logical step – just a few doors down. While Reid’s FotoSource at Central Plaza is no more, part of the business’s longtime local tradition – the digital photo lab – is to have a new lease of life as a department of well-known art-supply store The Gallery, also at Central Plaza. The revamped operation will be up and running under its new moniker – The Gallery Art Supplies, Photo and Framing – from the middle of this month, announced store owner/manager Jessica Theriault (her mom, Annemeike Hillhouse, founded the business 30 years ago) and 13-year FotoSource photo-lab veteran Debbie Weir. It seemed a natural step for the art store to take on both the equipment and the service, including Weir as lab manager, they told Peace Arch News. “She has the expertise

Debbie Weir and Jessica Theriault are joining forces to add a new photo lab to The Gallery. I don’t have,” Theriault said. “We’ve known each other since we went to high school at Semiahmoo Secondary, and we’ve always said we should do something together.” “Between the two of us, we have close to 50 years experience with
the public,” Weir added, noting that the photo department at The Gallery will provide most of the services loyal customers of FotoSource have come to expect. “The operation will be almost identical,” said Weir. “A digital print-
ing service, passport photographs, document scanning, print to print copying, restoration of old photographs – even if there’s no negative, we can still work with you.” “It works well with The Gallery,” agreed Weir, noting that “photography has been considered another art form since the 1800s.” Theriault said she and Weir have been mulling the move ever since it was announced in August that FotoSource would be closing its doors after some 48 years – in different incarnations – in virtually the same location. Acquiring the lab equipment was a good move to attract new business to the Gallery, as well as continuing an existing service for Central Plaza customers, she said. “It seemed like the perfect fit to expand the business,” Theriault said. “I called my brother to say what I was doing and he said ‘Mom would be so proud of you.’”
BIA on the move The White Rock Business Improvement Association has undergone some changes – including the location of its office. The BIA has moved to 1174 Fir St. from its previous location at 1550 Foster St.. The office phone number will remain the same, 604-536-4958. “Our new office is a welcoming and professional space that will enable us to hold workshops, meetings and receptions,” BIA president Lynne Sinclair said in a news release. “We are very pleased to be able to share space with our colleagues at Brabeia Inc. and be near to our valued partner, the City of White Rock.” The BIA announced a new board of directors elected at its AGM on Sept. 29. In addition to Sinclair, the 2014-’15 board includes Laura Cornale, Pam Montgomery, Terry Ross, Shelly O’Brien, Sharon Greysen, Ernie Klassen, Susy Tucker, Janet Wait and two new members – Jeff Wong and Sandy Saran.

We have EVERYTHING you NEED to prepare yourself for an EMERGENCY.
Working smoke alarms can make a life-saving difference in a fire. That’s the message behind this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign, “Working Smoke Alarms Save Lives: Test Yours Every Month!” Along with firefighters and safety advocates nationwide, White Rock Fire Rescue is joining forces with the nonprofit National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) during Fire Prevention Week, October 5-11, to remind local residents about the importance of having working smoke alarms in the home and testing them monthly. According to the latest NFPA research, working smoke alarms cut the chance of dying in a fire in half. Meanwhile, almost two-thirds of home fire deaths resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms. “In a fire, seconds count,” said Bob
Schlase, Deputy Chief. “Roughly half of home fire deaths result from fires reported at night between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. when most people are asleep. Home smoke alarms can alert people to a fire before it spreads, giving everyone enough time to get out.” This year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign includes the following smoke alarm messages: • Install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement. • Interconnect all smoke alarms throughout the home. This way, when one sounds, they all do. • Test alarms at least monthly by pushing the test button. • Replace all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old or sooner if they don’t respond properly.

Goalie stops 29 shots to lead Surrey to victory over Rivermen
Short stands tall in Eagles’ first win Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter
he Surrey Eagles are finally on the board with a win. The BC Hockey League squad – which had went winless through the season’s opening two weekends, with just two overtime-loss points to show for their efforts – got their first victory Sunday evening at South Surrey Arena, with a 3-1 win over the visiting Langley Rivermen. “Finally – it felt like that was long overdue,” said Eagles’ bench boss Blaine Neufeld, who notched his first win as a Junior ‘A’ head coach. “We felt like we played well in five of our six games before (Sunday), but I thought this was our best 60-minute effort of the season, so it’s nice for the guys to get rewarded for it. “It’s just one regularseason win, but it feels good.” The Eagles started their weekend schedule on the wrong end of another 3-1 score, losing to the Christian Short Nanaimo Clippers Friday goalie night. As has been the case since Game 1 of the season last month, goaltender Christian Short – who has faced more shots than any other goaltender in the league, by a wide margin – was a major reason the Birds escaped with the victory Sunday over their division rivals from Langley. Short, an Ontario native who turned 19 last week, stopped 29 of 30 shots. The only shot that beat him came 5:59 into the first period when Langley’s Ryan Coulter deflected a Jordan Schneider point shot over Short’s shoulder and into the back of the net. “He’s just been really solid for us,” Neufeld said. “He’s faced a lot of rubber, and he’ll probably continue to play a lot for us, but we’ve been making some strides defensively, so hopefully we can limit the shot totals (against).” The Rivermen’s goal was sandwiched between a pair from the home team, as Joe Drapluk scored a power-play goal from close range, finishing off a play that began with a Latrell Charleson blast from the blue line. The shot was stopped by Langley goalie Bo

Surrey Eagle forward Ben Butcher tries to keep the puck away from Langley Rivermen captain Kevan Kilistoff during Sunday’s game. Didur – who spent last year with the Eagles – but the goaltender couldn’t hold onto the puck, and eventually Drapluk shoveled it into the net on his backhand. With the score 1-1 late in the first period, Ben Vikich scored his second goal of the season – banging home a rebound after Didur stopped an initial Chase McMurphy breakaway – to restore the home team’s lead. The Eagles’ one-goal lead stood until the end of the second period, when Surrey rookie John Wesley took a stretch pass from newly acquired defenceman Zane Schartz, made a few moves on Langley defenders and slid the puck past Didur. Neither team scored in the third period,
though the final 20 minutes was not without a few dramatic moments – and not of the good variety for the Eagles or the nearly 800 fans in attendance. In the third, Short was injured after Langley forward Will Cook plowed into the crease, knocking the goalie to the ice. Short remained on the ice with what appeared to be a leg injury, but eventually got up and stayed in the game. Even playing hurt, he was in fine form, stopping 10 more Langley shots the rest of the way. On Friday, against Nanaimo, Surrey fell behind 2-0 after just 21 minutes of play – Sheldon Rempal opened the scoring on the
power-play 14:25 into the first period, and just over a minute into the second frame, Clippers’ Yanni Kaldis doubled the lead. Vikich cut the lead to 2-1 15 minutes later, but it was as close as the home team would get. Nanaimo’s Jacob Jackson scored an insurance marker early in the third to give the Clippers a 3-1 lead.
Blue-line additions Schartz, 20, was picked up from the Trail Smoke Eaters last week in exchange for future considerations. i see page 20

Eagles partner with hockey academy The Surrey Eagles are now part of the Earl Marriott Secondary (EMS) Advanced Hockey Academy. The B.C. Hockey League team will run the day-to-day operations of the academy, which is open to male and female players in Grades 8-12. Endorsed by the Surrey School District and sanctioned by Hockey Canada, the academy is a 10-month program. Instruction is led by EMS teachers and Eagles head coach Blaine Neufeld. Semiahmoo Minor Hockey is also involved, promoting the academy among it’s members. “We’ll ensure the communication is there, so we are marketing to kids in Semiahmoo minor who are either going to Earl Marriott or thinking of going there,” said Semiahmoo Minor Hockey executive director Dave Newson. “It’s in our best interest that the program is successful.” In addition to receiving instruction from the Eagles coaching staff, academy participants receive instruction on the ice and in the

Brace yourselves - the cold & flu season is coming! Zinc is an important player in immune function - even a slight deficiency can weaken the immune system. People at risk of zinc inadequacy include vegetarians, pregnant women, and those with gastrointestinal diseases, including chronic diarrhea. The body does not store excess zinc, so daily supplementation is a good idea for everyone. Other conditions which have been treated with zinc supplementation include wound healing, acne, and sense of taste and smell. Start ramping up your immune defense now and avoid spending your weekend at the walk-in clinic!

Is Your Eye Vitamin Right for You?
E
ye vitamins have been recommend recommended to patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) since 2001 after it was found that they can significantly reduce the risk of progression to the advanced stages of the disease. Recently, specific AMD genes have been found to influence the safety and efficacy of ingredients in eye vitamins. Different components in these eye vitamin formulations are good for some, but bad for others. Boardwalk Optometry is pleased to offer genetic testing- it’s quick and noninvasive. If you suffer from AMD, we invite you to come in for genetic testing, so that we can help you determine which eye vitamin formulations may be harmful to you based on your genetic makeup.

CROSSWORD
Surrey well-represented at U18 soccer showdown
PUZZLE NO. 724
Nationals hit the pitch The Canadian Soccer Association’s U18 club soccer championships officially begin tomorrow in South Surrey. Beginning at noon Wednesday, club champions from each province – 10 in total, excluding territories – will square off in both boys and girls tournaments. Surrey is represented on both sides of the tournament, and Surrey United is the B.C. representative, while a Coastal FC squad will don B.C. colours in the girls’ event. The first game on the docket, at noon on South Surrey Athletic Park
Field 7, is a girls matchup between Nova Scotia and Manitoba. Games will be held throughout the day, with an official opening ceremony set for 5 p.m., also at SSAP. Following the ceremony, B.C’s girls team will hit the pitch against Ontario in that day’s showcase matchup. The championship game in each tournament is scheduled for Thanksgiving Monday, at noon. For more information – including scores, schedules and more – visit www.canadasoccer.com and follow the links to the U-18 Cup. – Nick Greenizan

Trades bolster Birds’ blue-line i from page 17 The well-travelled native of Plano, Tex. has nine points in 17 games in Trail last season, and actually played 10 games for the Eagles in 2013/14. He has also suited up for the West Kelowna Warriors in his two-season BCHL career. The addition of Schartz brings to five the number of 20-year-olds on the team’s roster, with six being the limit. Others are Vikich, McMurphy
and twins Brian and Joe Drapluk. Surrey also picked up 19-yearold defenceman Andy Chugg in exchange for 18-year-old forward Josh Blanchard. Blanchard, who is committed to St. Cloud State in the NCAA for the 2016/17 season, had one assist in five games in Surrey. “Adding these two guys really stabilizes the back-end for us,” Neufeld said.
