Sex offender’s relocation into Surrey last year provoked outrage

Caissie charged in girl’s death Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A man accused of killing a 17-year-old Surrey teenager last week is a high-risk sex offender whose release from jail last year sparked community outrage. Raymond Lee Caissie was arrested early Saturday in Vancouver, and has been charged with second-degree murder in connection with the death of Serena Vermeersch. Police announced an arrest late Sunday afternoon, just four days after identifying Vermeersch as the victim whose body was found the evening of Sept. 16 in an area densely covered in brambles, Raymond Caissie near railway tracks in the accused 14600-block of 66 Avenue. She was discovered less than four hours after police issued a public appeal for help locating the teen. The discovery prompted a community warning, urging citizens to use cau-

tion when outdoors alone or after dark. At a press conference Monday morning, police confirmed that the accused was known to them, but would not disclose any information that could potentially identify him, citing a publication ban that was requested by defense counsel. However, late Monday afternoon, they confirmed Caissie – who was released into an unspecified Surrey neighbourhood last year

after serving 22 years for a violent assault – was the arrested individual. Staff Sgt. Jennifer Pound, spokesperson for the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, would not comment on how Vermeersch died. The teen’s mother reported her missing in the early hours of Sept. 16, after Vermeersch failed to return home. The Sullivan Heights Secondary student was reportedly last seen just after 8 p.m. the evening before, boarding a transit bus near 128 Street and 64 Avenue. Police believe she got off the bus at 64 Avenue and 144 Street, walked towards her home, up 144 Street, then east along the north side of the train tracks. Vermeersch’s death was quickly deemed a random attack, and Chief Supt. Bill Fordy said investigators worked around the clock to identify and locate the person responsible. As of Peace Arch News’ press time Monday, police were still trying to identify a dark-clothed male who was seen walking across the tracks and leaving the area in a pick-up truck less than an hour before Vermeersch’s body was found. i see page 4

Surrounded by icons of every political stripe last weekend, Coun. Barinder Rasode officially declared her intention to become Surrey’s mayor. Surrounded by splashes of navy and pink, Rasode portrayed herself in front of a crowd of more than 200 people as a fierce mom ready to bring battle to the civic front (her podium had a sign that read “One Tough Mother”) as she announced Saturday that she’s adding her name to the list of people vying for Surrey’s centre chair this Barinder Rasode mayoral hopeful November. Other mayoral hopefuls, so far, include Surrey First Coun. Linda Hepner, former Surrey mayor Doug McCallum and Surrey businessman Vikram Bajwa. Candidates have until Oct. 10 to declare. Rasode had told Black Press in April that she would run for mayor if incumbent Dianne Watts did not seek reelection. However, in the time since Watts’ declaration a few days later that she would not run and her announcement last week that she would seek the federal Conservative nod for SurreyWhite Rock MP, Rasode did not formally announce her plans. Saturday, in the atrium of Simon Fraser University’s Surrey campus, Rasode wheeled out some big guns of all political stripes. Three main speakers were introduced by master of ceremonies Bob Campbell, president of the West Panorama Ridge Ratepayers’ Association. Among them were former Conservative senator Gerry St. Germain, who spoke in support of Rasode in her bid for the mayor’s chair. i see page 2

Support spans political parties i from page 1 St. Germain told Black Press before the announcement that he is backing her because “she’s committed… she follows up.” He told the crowd on Saturday that Surrey has big shoes to fill, as Dianne Watts has been a great mayor. He said there are three good candidates in the running, but politics is about choices and Rasode is the right choice. He was joined by Maz Artang, 27, who was one-time director of operations for the BC Liberal party’s hub tour. And representing the left side of the political spectrum for support was former Surrey mayor Bob Bose, who appeared by video. Some well-known faces also appeared in support of Rasode, including Sarbjit Batalia, mother of slain Surrey student Maple Batalia. Rasode did not introduce a team, nor did she unveil a platform. However, she promised significant change. “Fifty-six days from today, on Nov. 15, the people of Surrey will be handed the keys to the mayor’s office,” Rasode promised the crowd. “Some call it a crazy dream – us versus the machine... the election is about finally giving the community a voice at city hall.” She also said the crime problem is largely

It will be a gathering of community visionaries to help tackle some of Surrey’s more prickly problems.

Fraser Surrey Docks the subject of lawsuit by Communities and Coal group

Court challenge aims to block terminal Jeff Nagel Black Press

Opponents of a new coal-export terminal on the Fraser River are going to Federal Court to challenge its approval by Port Metro Vancouver. Lawyers for Ecojustice, on behalf of other groups and activists, argue the port authority was wrong to decide the project would have no significant adverse effect on the environment, as the port didn’t take into account the end-use impact on climate change. The notice of application for the lawsuit argues the burning in Asia of the four million tonnes of U.S. thermal coal that the

project will ship each year will be equivalent to one per cent of Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions. It also alleges port officials were unfair and biased in handling concerns about environmental and health impacts, in part because they collaborated closely with Fraser Surrey Docks on public messaging and monitoring opposition. The claim also alleges port executives will personally benefit from giving the green light because their compensation is tied to the port’s revenue. The case has been filed on behalf of Voters Taking Action on Climate Change, the group Communities and Coal, its founder Paula Williams of Crescent Beach and Surrey resi-

City manager critical

Stop-work order for highrise Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The City of White Rock issued a stop-work order last week at the site of the city’s next highrise following unauthorized demolition. City manager Dan Bottrill confirmed Thursday that the order to Vancouver-based Cressey was issued the day before. “They were demolishing without a permit,” Bottrill said. He noted the violation continued Thursday morning, despite the order – action he described as “a little troubling.” (A Peace Arch News message left at Cressey’s Vancouver office was not returned by press deadline Monday.) Last fall, city council voted 4-3 to approve zoning and Official Community Plan amendments that cleared the way for the 12-storey project at 1467-1519 Vidal St. The plan includes 97 apartments, 12 townhouses, underground parking and public green space. Bottrill said the permit-application process was underway when the violation occurred. “I thought we were really close,” he said. “I don’t really understand why that kind of action was being taken.” Bottrill said the demolition was in connection with plans to build a “stick-frame” sales centre for the project. Council approved the associated temporary commercialuse permit in July. It was necessary to enable construction of the sales centre on the property prior to issuance of the building permit for the 12-storey project. According to city documents, two of 14 townhouses in the Mariner’s Reach complex would need to be demolished to make room for the 3,200-sq.-ft., single-storey building. According to residents, four townhouses were demolished Wednesday, raising concerns around asbestos abatement; concerns that they later said were eased by discussions with WorkSafe BC officials. Bottrill said the stop-work order will remain until issues are resolved.

World focus

Hundreds of climate-change activists – from both sides of the border – gathered at Peace Arch Park Saturday afternoon carrying signs and banners demanding climate action. The rally, timed to coincide with today’s UN Climate Summit in New York City, was organized by the Wilderness Committee, Georgia Strait Alliance and 350 Seattle, a “nonviolent civil disobedience” organization.

Quick turnaround for teachers returning to class after strike

Three weeks late, but they’re baaack Sheila Reynolds & Tom Fletcher Black Press

Students and teachers are back in class this week, attempting to get up to speed after starting school three weeks later than scheduled. For kids and teens, it meant dusting off backpacks and getting into the routine of early wakeups and packing lunches, as well as clearing the cranial cobwebs after a three-month vacation. The clamber began a few days earlier for teachers, who were able to finally enter their classrooms Friday. For some, it was the first time since June, while others stepped foot into new schools and classrooms for the first time ever. Sandra Succamore, a Grade 3 teacher at Surrey’s Sullivan Elementary, considered herself one of the lucky ones, returning to work in the same classroom and teaching the same grade she did last year. “I’m one of the more fortunate teachers,” said Succamore. “I’m not moving schools.” Still, she said, it looked as though a bomb had gone off in her classroom. Because the school year ended so abruptly when teachers went on strike in June, classrooms were not organized and sorted as they normally would have been prior to the summer break. And furniture and supplies were

As well, teachers usually spend at least a week or two at the end of August preparing their classrooms and creating a welcome educational space for the year ahead. “Even though you’re planning all summer, we couldn’t get in our rooms,” Succamore said. “I’m trying to do what I do in two weeks, in three days. We’re all pretty much scrambling.” On Thursday, B.C. teachers voted to end their strike, with 86 per cent in favour of a six-year agreement negotiated with the help of mediator Vince Ready last week. The deal gives teachers raises totalling 7.25 per cent over six years,

improvements to benefits and a fund to hire more teachers each year. It also includes a mutually agreed-upon process to address any future court decision, with the government’s appeal of a B.C. Supreme Court decision on class size and composition set to be heard in October. In a letter to Surrey parents on Friday, Supt. Jordan Tinney said hearing the deal was ratified was “music to his ears.” He said school staff would begin the process of starting the year with the same professionalism, care and support that students have always received. “We are proud of the work of our staff and we know your children will be well cared for,” wrote Tinney. “We have missed them.” He thanked parents for patience and support through what he called a “long journey” that included many sacrifices since teacher job action began April 23, escalating to a full strike that closed schools early at the end of June. Though Education Minister Peter Fassbender had indicated missed instructional time might be made up, the ministry has now notified superintendents that the school year will not be extended to make up the days lost. Surrey’s early figures show about 70,200 students are entering public schools this fall – an increase of about 120 from last year.

Senior officers Dan Malo, Bill Fordy and Dwayne McDonald field questions on an arrest in the case.

Victim ‘will live on in our hearts’ i from page 1 The vehicle is described as a fullsize, grey/silver Dodge ¾-ton with a canopy and roof rack. It was seen departing westbound on 66 Avenue, then making a U-turn at Uplands Road to head eastbound towards 148 Street. Pound said the man in the pickup is not a suspect, but remains a person of interest whom investigators would like to speak with. Assistant Cmsr. Dan Malo said he hoped Saturday’s arrest would bring “some small comfort to (Serena’s) family, friends and the community at large.” Malo said the accused was to appear in Surrey Provincial Court Monday afternoon. Caissie’s next appearance has been set for Oct. 2. His criminal history includes two counts of sexual assault with a weapon; two counts of forcible confinement and robbery; theft; break, enter and theft; theft over $1,000; and possession of stolen property. His release last year prompted harsh criticism from Mayor Dianne Watts, who said it “makes no sense.” At that time, officials with B.C. Corrections Branch said the 43-yearold had maintained a varied pattern of crime, having offended both violently and sexually, in both an opportunistic and impulsive manner.

He was to be closely monitored by police. At the press conference, Malo said police are “very well-prepared” to answer questions regarding the accused, but were silenced by the ban. In a statement read by Pound, Vermeersch’s family said they are appreciative of the support and kind words received in the wake of their daughter’s death, but declined to comment further. “We respectfully ask that our privacy remain undisturbed.” Tributes to Vermeersch quickly appeared, and continue to grow. There are now bouquets of flowers next to a telephone pole near where her body was found, and dozens of comments posted to her Facebook page follow her own last

post, dated Sept. 13 – a photo of herself with the status “I’m lonely.” The comments describe the teen as “an angel” who will be missed. “You were a beautiful girl inside and out and going to be greatly missed by your family members and many, many friends. You will live on in our hearts and will never be forgotten,” writes Dennis Thalmann. “May you RIP and may your family have all the love and strength they need to get through this. So happy they caught him. Another beautiful young lady taken too soon,” writes Naomi McGeachy. Others were critical. “The justice system let Serena down,” writes Silvia Wittenberg Sandhu. – with files from Kevin Diakiw

Smart-meter opponents denied hearing

Tribunal rejects complaint Tom Fletcher

exposure from periodic wireless meter signals to send electricity consumption data to collection stations is similar to exposure to radio station signals. BC Hydro said the Human Rights Tribunal doesn’t have jurisdiction over the wireless grid project, and the B.C. Utilities Commission does. The B.C. government’s 2010 Clean Energy Act mandated the wireless grid upgrade, and exempted it from review by the BCUC. But in 2013 the BCUC reviewed the wireless grid project by FortisBC in the Okanagan and Kootenay region, and rejected CSTS submissions that the technology was a health hazard. CSTS argued that BC Hydro’s offer to relocate the wireless meter to another part of the property was not sufficient relief, and charging meter-reading fees to those who want to keep their mechanical meter or have a digital meter with the wireless transmission turned off is discrimination against people with a disability.

Black Press

After losing in court and before the B.C. Utilities Commission, a citizens’ group opposed to wireless electrical meters has been denied a hearing before the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal. The complaint was brought by a group called Citizens for Safe Technology Society (CSTS) – spearheaded by several Peninsula residents – which argued that “electrohypersensitivity” (EHS) is a disability. “I have concluded that there is no reasonable prospect that the complainants will be able to establish that the electromagnetic frequency (EMF) exposure resulting from smart meters results in adverse health consequences,” wrote tribunal member Norman Trerise in the decision not to hold a full hearing. CSTS submitted that they don’t have to prove this sensitivity exists, because the human rights tribunal has accepted “subjective self-reporting of symptoms” in a previous human rights case

CSTS also cited a Prince Edward Island Court of Appeal decision that stated “a person may be ill even though there is little or no objective evidence to prove it.” BC Hydro said a series of doctors’ notes supplied by the complainants don’t prove the condition is real, because they appear to be based “entirely on the selfdiagnosis of the individual complainants.” BC Hydro has argued that the

Time to make the most of it

opefully parents hung on to those handy back-to-school flyers that were stuffed inside issues of the newspaper last month. The labour dispute between between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the provincial government came to an end last week – finally – with the two sides agreeing to a new deal. Classes were back in session Monday. And while, in theory, all’s well that ends well, parents and other taxpayers should be disappointed that it took three weeks into September before the two sides learned to communicate, compromise and play nice. If they could come to an agreement last Tuesday, they should have been able to come to an agreement three weeks earlier, or even last June, when the whole debacle began. But better now than never. We know that some educators experienced financial hardship, and that some parents faced day-care challenges. This fight was about the students, though, we were told, and all things considered, those students will be OK, despite the missed classes. Students have enough weeks left in the fall semester to get caught up on the curriculum, and they have more than enough time for proper exam preparation. They’ve missed out on some extra-curricular participation, but they’re still going to get some form of a football and volleyball season, or – hopefully – that band trip and Halloween dance. They will still have almost a whole school year ahead to do all the things they’d planned to do. For some students, the teachers’ strike was a learning experience. A few of them considered the issues and a few stopped by the picket lines. Mostly, though, they left it to the adults, who have been entrusted with children’s education all along. Hopefully, some good has come out of the strike. Certainly six years of labour peace is an attractive idea. Neither side gave in on class size and composition, not really, but if those are such clear priorities for teachers, then they’re right to continue to voice their concerns. A strike was a failure by both sides. Sometimes it’s OK to agree to disagree, and often, disagreements are unavoidable. But nevertheless, the collateral damage was done. Here’s hoping said damage is only minimal, and the school year can be salvaged and considered a successful one come June.

top of property taxes. In its wisdom, Victoria council appointed Isitt as their Capital Regional District representative. In that capacity he led the charge against Canada Post’s decision to wind up door-to-door delivery for the minority of people who aren’t already using community mailboxes. After instructing Ottawa to accelerate the bankruptcy of this Crown corporation, Isitt began ordering the province to intervene in a dispute over Grace Islet, a rocky point off Salt Spring Island where an Alberta man is trying to build a retirement home. The dispute centres on aboriginal burial grounds and artifacts, and Isitt appointed himself advocate for the grievances of native people. When the B.C. government didn’t follow his instructions, he demanded that the CRD expropriate the land and evict the owner. Island politics being what it is, this was actually considered before cooler heads prevailed. And how are things with the CRD’s real job while the Isitt circus rolls on? The most over-governed region in B.C. remains locked in a bitter turf war over a federally mandated sewage treatment project, and is on the verge of forfeiting hundreds of millions in provincial funds. So voters should ask themselves a couple of questions this November. Is your council doing the job it was hired to do? And do you trust these individuals with your wallet until the fall of 2018?

Humble admissions Editor: Re: White Rock bans coach houses for now, Sept. 11. I was one of the people who participated three years ago on the citizens committee that strongly opposed what White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin now refers to as “the mess on Findlay.” Unfortunately, my family also happens to live right behind this mess. During the public consultation process three years ago, Baldwin supported the opposing views held by the citizens committee. Despite all of our concerns, good advice and repeated consultations, the mess on Findlay Street was approved, perhaps only because, as Coun. Al Campbell indicated this month, “it was sold to us.” Where have we seen this before? Once construction began, mature trees that had been tagged by the city were all cut down. Deep and dangerous excavations next to the sidewalk remained unprotected until the city was notified. Noise infractions on Sundays and holidays had to be reported to the bylaw officer again and again for the past three years. Although the focus now is on the issue of coach houses, one of the most conspicuous blemishes of this development are the series of towering fire walls that loom from the ground to above each roof ridge. How could the city have approved such a ridiculous design? Let me guess – it was yet another mistake? Having suffered through the last three years of construction nightmare, I was utterly blown away to read the comments made by mayor and council in the PAN. Now that all the wrong decisions have been made on the Finlay Street development, we get this humble admission that the views and values of the citizens committee were correct after all. Our neighbourhood must now live with the legacy of a development that will stand as a glaring example of the city’s bad decision making. I am now a very disillusioned citizen that no longer trusts the publicconsultation process, and I fear for the future development of White Rock that is based on a patchwork of planning mistakes. D. Kistritz, White Rock

Curb overnight whistles An open letter to BNSF. We have been White Rock residents on Columbia Avenue – two blocks up from the tracks on East Beach – for nine years. We have worked hard all our lives to finally afford a place with a view in one of the most beautiful areas in B.C., if not all of Canada. Until this past year, the train has not made a significant impact on our lives.

However, after the unfortunate death of a jogger at East Beach, the train whistles have become incessant and, for the most part, totally unnecessary at all hours of the night. We are both still employed and find the constant whistles from 2-6 a.m. very disruptive and are finding it increasingly more difficult to get back to sleep. Our work performance has suffered, as we are not getting the required amount of sleep to function effectively. We also note that some of the conductors seem to take pride in making the whistles as disruptive as possible. We have talked to several people in the area who are actually considering moving due to the whistles as they – and their children – are unable to sleep. We have also noticed an increased amount of coal-dust residue from

the coal trains on our deck and windows. We have had to keep our patio doors closed as the coal dust lands on the walls and furniture inside the house as well. The impact of the coal dust on our respiratory systems is a huge concern as well. In addition, the danger of a derailment on a sunny day in White Rock when the beach is jam packed would be a major catastrophe. There have been several derailments in other areas this year, as I’m sure you’re very much cognizant. We are aware the railroad tracks have been in place long before residential development, however the reality is that the tracks in this location are a major hazard and need to be relocated. I would appreciate a response if possible, with any measures being taken to curtail the amount of loud whistles all hours of the night at the very least. Candace Wall, White Rock

Don’t punish the elderly Editor: Re: Pay for service or give it up, Sept. 11 letters. “Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless” – Mother Theresa The response to PAN’s Aug. 26 editorial on Canada Post (Honour system is cheaper) is so meanspirited, I wonder if the letter writer has parents, grandparents or elderly relatives. The letter suggests punishing the elderly if they want to stay in their “single family” residence and perhaps get mail delivery in the future. Have they not paid taxes all their lives? Is it not known that health experts encourage seniors to stay in their own homes as long as possible? Heidi Bumann, Surrey

A recently reduced shuttle schedule for non-peak hours takes its toll, particularly on seniors, say letter writers.

Darker days for senior bus riders Editor: Re: Increased concern over reduced bus service, Sept. 16. With little notice – just notices pinned up on some of the bus stops – the C51, C52 and C53 shuttles became every hour from every half hour, each day between the hours of 9 p.m. and 3 a.m. Some people unknowingly waited for the bus that never came, and in confusion would miss the next one, or the next one would be full and leave them behind. As this is a community of predominantly the elderly, and the east side of White Rock is only serviced by C51 and C53, it is of great concern for me and all the elders. I understand that Mayor Wayne Baldwin, our representative for TransLink, didn’t know this was happening until told by another community member and user of the system. This is very confusing. As a non-driving member of this community, using 51, 53 and sometimes 52 daily, I have to tell you this is a disaster waiting to happen when the weather changes. There are many elderly and disabled using these buses. They are a lifeline to town and to the magnificent, and otherwise inaccessible, waterfront. We travel on the buses because we choose not to drive, cannot afford to drive or are unable to drive anymore. This means most of us are using the buses to get into town for appointments, hospital, shopping, pleasure and to connect with other services. This means we can be carrying shopping, using walkers, sticks, motorized vehicles, wheelchairs and the families with push-chairs and little children. I feel that a large part of the population using these buses are in jeopardy because of this. I think some of the elders are physically, mentally and emotionally not going to be able to handle it when the weather changes. This will increase the toll on the health services and, in some cases, mean moving to care homes. I don’t want to be housebound, and many around me

tell me they are housebound without use of the bus, dependent on others to see they make appointments and get out at all. I feel this is cruel after people have spent a lifetime raising families. They want to be independent as long as possible yet are penalized by reductions in services like this. Sheila Swift, White Rock Q TransLink is a dirty word around here, as bus service is curtailed and hourly service in “non-peak hours” is substituted in the guise of economy. Once upon a time, the purpose of public transit was created for the convenience of the public. Now, this unelected corporation specializes in running the system for its own benefit. TransLink’s statistics do not measure inconvenience. Users south of the Fraser have long been discriminated against by the transit system, as there are no apparent plans to create a fast link from Surrey/White Rock to the rest of the Lower Mainland. Ever-changing bus service is deemed to be enough to keep south Fraser riders off balance and, ignoring the fastest growth area in the GVRD, the “adjustments” keep on coming. The poor service has drastically impacted the seniorcare workers who travel by public transit to care for their clients at any hour and statistics don’t reflect this sector. Because of this, I have opted to drive my caregiver rather than have her waiting on the sidelines for a bus that may or may not timely appear each hour. This ‘hourly service’ only works if the buses run according to the published schedule. If a bus is a bit early and missed, it is an hour-plus wait resulting in both lost income time and discomfort. Users are left exposed when winter arrives as there are few bus shelters for protection. South Fraser needs to opt out of TransLink and create its own transit authority suited to the needs of the growing population who, to date, have been badly served. Don Robertson, White Rock

A water-filled canoe is towed to shore by members of RCM-SAR5, following the rescue of two men.

Rescue crews dispatched to Semiahmoo Bay

Boaters OK after canoe flip Two men out for a paddle with their dog in Semiahmoo Bay last Tuesday afternoon ended the excursion having to be rescued. Andrew Newman of the RCM-SAR5 team

(Crescent Beach) said the crew was dispatched to the waters off of Blackie Spit following a report of a vessel that had flipped in the wind. A shoreline search located one of the

boaters; the second was pulled out of the water by an RCMP marine crew. The dog reportedly swam to shore. Newman said all three occupants were wearing lifejackets.

Public plea to ID suspect White Rock RCMP launched a Canada-wide appeal for the public’s help last week in identifying a man who was caught on surveillance more than a month ago stealing from an undisclosed uptown liquor store. The theft occurred around 8:40 p.m. Aug. 12; several bottles of liquor were taken, according to the news release issued Thursday. The culprit was recorded walk-

ing around the store looking at various products before placing the bottles into a bag and leaving without paying. “It’s a fairly large amount of liquor,” Const. Shaileshni Molison told Peace Arch News. Molison said the delay in reporting the incident publicly was a result of difficulty accessing the surveillance video.

Staff Reporter

group of Semiahmoo Peninsula youth are taking their plans to create a safe, inclusive space in White Rock to the next level. But they need help. Members of the White Rock Youth Collective, as well as other volunteer youths, will be submitting a video and application in the hopes of being chosen as recipients of $100,000 from the Aviva Community Fund. The group plans to use the money, if they are chosen, to create an accessible youth space in the heart of the Semiamoo Peninsula, somewhere between White Rock’s Whaling Wall and 20 Avenue in South Surrey. “We have some ideas for the space,” said Alexandra Neighbourhoood House youth and family worker Jessie Kergan, who has been helping the group see their project come to fruition.

“We’re going back to (White Rock) city council on Sept. 29 to present our budget and funding proposal, and we’ve been looking at some spaces and our aim is to have somewhere by January.” With the help of cinephile and budding filmmaker Daleal Monjazeb, 17, the youth group created two films – an informational one for Aviva Community Fund and another that acts as a teaser or trailer for the space. “I’ve always been passionate about filming and movies,” Monjazeb said. “We went to the skatepark and filmed skateboarders, BMXers and just captured the real community. “It’s a project that doesn’t only affect youth. It gets everybody involved on so many different levels.” The decision to create the youth space came after surveying local youth nearly two years ago. What came back was a desire for a place

that provided teens with ways to use their free time appropriately. “We live in a world where things are very desensitized. Kids are younger when they start getting involved with different vices,” Monjazeb said. “I’ve been there, I know lots of people who have been there. And it’s so much harder when kids really don’t have much to do. “In this world, where there

is so much stimulation, if that stimulation isn’t positive, it can be dangerous.” The teen recalled a recent movie he watched on gangs from the 1980s. While watching, he realized how at the core of all the young gangsters was a desire to have a community amongst themselves. “Every time I thought of gangs, I thought of drugs, violence. But to some people that just means

a gang of friends. It’s about belonging somewhere. Kids just want to feel like they belong somewhere,” he said. The contest and voting will go live on Sept. 29. There are three qualifying rounds, however Kergen and Monjazeb are hopeful they will get enough votes in the first round to move on to semifinals. “So this space is a perfect opportunity to give kids that sense of belonging.” If the group receives the $100,000, the funds will be used to secure the space, hire staff and renovate. However, Kergen also hopes the community will step in to lend a helping hand. “This is really a project for our community, so it would be nice to have people step in and offer what they can,” she said.

Sunnyside Acres Urban Forest is one of the many green spaces to explore for National Forest Week.

Weeklong event highlights green spaces all over Canada

Celebrating local forests Surrey park enthusiasts are encouraging the community to get out this week and enjoy one of the Semiahmoo Peninsula’s green spaces in honour of National Forest Week. The weeklong celebration kicked off on Sunday and Sunnyside Acres Heritage Society member Paul Schwartz notes there are a number of spaces to mark the occasion, including, of course, Sunnyside Acres Urban Forest. “As many readers will know, this 370-acre forest was estab-

lished by the City of Surrey following a successful referendum in 1988, when Surrey citizens voted to have it preserved in perpetuity as Canada’s first urban forest,” he writes to Peace Arch News. “That makes Sunnyside an ideal place for you and your family to visit between Sept. 21 to 27 to mark National Forest Week this year.” The public area of the forest is located between 148 Street on the east, 20 Avenue on the south, 28 Avenue on the north and 144 Street on the east.

There are well-marked trails that lead into the forest from all sides of this area and for visitors coming by car, there is a parking lot on the north side of 24 Avenue as well as parking in the South Surrey Athletic Park, Schwartz notes. “Sunnyside Acres is owned, and is there to be enjoyed, by every resident of Surrey,” Schwartz adds. “It is your forest.” For more information on the Sunnyside Acres Heritage Society, visit www.sunnysideacres.ca or call 604-535-9288.

Surrey photographer Steve Dutt was one of three winners of the Best Shot contest, for photos like this one from the Abbotsford Air Show. a $500 London Drugs gift certificate for shooting the best static photo. Ken McAllister of Surrey won a $750 gift certificate for taking the best air photo. The People’s Choice award winner was Christina Dutkowski of Mission, who received tickets to the Brad Paisley concert. Kendall, who was part of the competition for the second time, said he took his winning photo by mounting his camera onto a

painter’s pole he had altered for the purpose. Though he couldn’t see through his viewfinder, Kendall was hoping to find a different point of view than other contestants, as they were all working with the same subject matter. For a photographer who usually shoots nature and landscapes, shooting with no vision was a new experience. “It was a gamble and it paid off.”

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Surrey drops first two games of BCHL season, will look to rebound at home

Eagles’ wings clipped at showcase Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

he Surrey Eagles lost both games of the BC Hockey League Showcase event last weekend in Chilliwack, with both defeats coming in wildly different fashions. In the team’s regular-season opener Friday, the Birds – who have chosen to ice a young, mostly-local lineup this year – were nearly run right out of the Prospera Centre by the high-powered Penticton Vees, who scored nine goals in the final 40 minutes en route to an 11-2 victory. Surrey’s second game, played Sunday evening against the Salmon Arm Silverbacks, was a much better effort – especially from goaltender Christian Short – from the Peninsula bunch, but it still resulted in a loss, as the Eagles coughed up an early lead and lost 4-3 in double, three-on-three overtime. In Friday’s opener, the Eagles and Vees battled to a draw through the first period, with Surrey taking a 1-0 lead midway through the frame on a power-play goal from Chase McMurphy, but the Vees responded less than three minutes later on a goal from Lewis Zerter-Gossage. Penticton’s Joshua Laframboise made it 2-1 for the Okanagan squad 1:08 later, and the lead stood until the final five minutes of the period, when Eagles’ forward Darius Davidson scored – with assists to John Wesley and McMurphy – to tie the game. Despite the even score, the flow of the game was heavily tilted in favour of the Vees – they outshot Surrey 21-6 in the first 20 minutes – and it was a sign of things to come after the first intermission. The Vees scored four unanswered goals in the middle period – including powerplay markers from Jack Ramsay and ZerterGossage. Zerter-Gossage completed his hat-trick 2:32 into the third period – which gave the Vees a 7-2 lead – and the Vees tacked on four more goals for good measure, including a final tally, also on the power play, from former Eagle Demico Hannoun, Hannoun played for Surrey during the team’s Royal Bank Cup run two seasons ago, and was re-acquired by the Eagles last summer, before being flipped to Penticton for the rights to Alex Coulombe, who is playing in Quebec. Short, a 19-year-old first-year player, took the loss in net for Surrey, lasting just two minutes into the third period before he was

Despite a rough welcome to the BCHL – eight goals on 40 shots – Short was nothing shy of spectacular in the Eagles’ second game of the year, on Sunday. Against Salmon Arm, the towering sixfoot-four netminder kept the Eagles in the game, stopping 55 of 59 shots on net, including 21 in the first period and 17 more in the third. The Eagles spotted their goaltender – whom head coach Blaine Neufeld said already has college scouts sniffing around – a 3-0 lead after 20 minutes, on goals from Trevor MacLean and Ty Westgard, who scored twice in 2:02. In the second period, however, the Silver-

backs stormed back with three goals of their own – one shorthanded, two on the power play – and neither team bulged the twine in the third period, sending the game to overtime. In the second OT period – which was three-on-three – Taro Hirose finally broke the deadlock for Salmon Arm. The Eagles will look to break into the win column at home this weekend, when they host the Chilliwack Chiefs Friday at South Surrey Arena. On Saturday, the two division rivals will travel to Chilliwack for a rematch, before the Eagles concluding their busy weekend Sunday afternoon with a home game against the visiting Prince George Spruce Kings. Though the sample size is admittedly

small, the Eagles will no doubt be looking to improve their special teams play in the coming games. The penalty kill was something of their Achilles heel in the first two games, giving up five power-play goals on 13 opportunities. And while they were OK on the power play themselves – scoring twice on 11 chances – they also gave up a shorthanded marker.

Captains named Prior to Friday’s season-opener, the Eagles named McMurphy the team’s captain for the coming season. In addition, Joe and Brian Drapluk, along with Darius Davison, will wear ‘A’s as alternate captains.

Peninsula athletes score big at BC Seniors Games Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Hundreds of athletes 55-years-and-older from across Surrey and White Rock put their athletic skills on display earlier this month, at the BC Seniors Games in Langley. The event, held Sept. 9-14, saw the Fraser Valley Zone – which included Surrey, Cloverdale and White Rock – win the overall team title with 622 medals. Among the many Peninsula residents returning home with medals were White Rock cyclist Sandi Olafason, who won two

gold medals – in time trials and the road race – and one silver, in the hill climb. Golfer Margaret Pybus also finished atop the podium, claiming gold in the women’s 70-74 tournament, while Linda Carvajal won silver in women’s singles tennis. In bocce, White Rock’s Umberto Ferraro won bronze in men’s 55-plus singles, while Surrey’s Arnalda Benetti won silver in women’s singles. Cloverdale’s Susan Chaworth-Musters, meanwhile, won two golds and one silver in equestrian competitions.

In the pool, South Surrey swimmers dominated, led by Tony Pease, who won six gold medals in his age division – in the five different freestyle distances, plus the 50-m breaststroke. Adding to the medal haul was Alida Brichon, who was first in 50-m backstroke and Elsa DeLeeuw, who won silver in both the 90-plus 50-m breaststroke and 400-m freestyle. Other medals were won in a variety of sports, including horseshoes, badminton, darts, table tennis and track-and-field. For full results, visit www.bcgames.net

Cole Wilson in Washington, Colton Gillies heads to New York

Pair invited to NHL camps White Rock’s Cole Wilson got his final season of university hockey off to a great start last week – by participating in the Washington Capitals’ rookie camp. Wilson – who also participated in the Capitals’ player-development camp in July – is heading into his senior season with the UBC Thunderbirds. The NHL rookie camp was held Sept. 11-16 at the Capitals’ practice facility in Arlington, Va., and Wilson, an undrafted free agent, skated alongside top NHL prospects such as Andre Burakowsky and Jakub Vrana, both of whom

are recent first-round draft picks. Last year, as a junior at UBC, Wilson was named to Canada West’s second all-star team after finishing fourth in conference scoring with 18 goals and 35 points. The Thunderbirds are set to open the Canada West season Friday, Sept. 26, when they host the University of Alberta Golden Bears.

Islanders tryout Another Peninsula hockey player, Colton Gillies, is also taking part in an NHL camp

this month, after accepting an invitation to New York Islanders training camp. Gillies, a 25-year-old forward, has not played in the NHL since the 2012/13 season, when he played parts of two seasons with the Columbus Blue Jackets before being let go. Prior to his stint in Columbus, Gillies was a first-round draft pick of the Minnesota Wild. He has six goals and 18 points in 154 career NHL games. He spent last season with the American Hockey League’s Rochester Americans. – Nick Greenizan
