Police, city say little can be done without witnesses, after dozens of holes drilled
Few leads in stopping tree vandalism Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Joe Sayer is at a loss on damage to his trees.
A South Surrey man whose backyard trees have been vandalized – to the point that at least one will die – says he is frustrated that neither police nor city officials can put a stop to it. “Nobody seems to be able to help me,” Joe Sayer told Peace Arch News last week. Sayer said the trees targeted are tall western
yellow cedars, among a cluster of about 16 trees on the east side of his 1.2-acre property. He’s counted 25 drilled holes in one, and three in a second – damage that is clearly manmade. And while he’s reported the issue to police, and had Surrey’s arbourist and bylaw officers out, officials confirm that without a witness, or photos or video of the culprit in action, there’s little that can be done.
City of Surrey bylaws manager Jas Rehal described it as “a rare situation.” “We have looked into it and discussed it with the RCMP, unfortunately, there are no witnesses or any leads to follow up on,” Rehal said. Rehal encouraged anyone experiencing or witnessing tree damage to report the incidents. i see page 4

Few attendees think City of Surrey should operate planned facility
Non-profits advised to run arts centre Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Arts space in a highrise development proposed for South Surrey would best be operated by one or two non-profit groups, city officials have heard. The recommendation was shared Tuesday at a meeting of the culture development advisory committee at Surrey City Hall. But consultant Lori Baxter cautioned against rushing to call for parties interested in the role to apply. “Until it’s actually real, and you know what the specific spaces are, I think it’s unfair to have people put in an RFP (request for proposals),” Baxter told the committee. Baxter was hired last June to research governance options for a proposed theatre, contemporary arts space and café. The space was presented as part of a proposal to build
more than 300 residential units in two highrises at 19 Avenue and 152 Street. With an update on the development expected in the coming months, Baxter said it is important for the city to have its ducks in a row on the governance issue. In discussing Baxter’s recommendations – which included establishing a means for community input into the proponent-selection process – committee member Wendy Bollard of Peninsula Productions asked if there is a “Plan B” for performing arts in South Surrey, should the development not be approved. In response, committee chair Surrey Coun. Judy Villeneuve pointed to the city’s 2011 commitment to use a two-phased expansion plan to boost arts and culture space on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. The first phase resulted in the new space at the South Surrey Recreation and Art Centre. The second
phase has always been for performing and visual arts space, and “we’re working on it from that perspective,” Villeneuve said. Last week, Surrey’s manager of arts services, Sheila McKinnon, told Peace Arch News that non-profit governance was the preferred model of those who attended a community meeting with Baxter in South Surrey on Jan. 8. “Out of the 50-plus people that were there, there were only a few people that thought the city should operate the space,” she said. Baxter noted Tuesday that there was “a significant difference of knowledge” amongst attendees regarding the degree of work already put into the process, as well as some misunderstanding regarding non-profit organizations, including that they are managed by professionals. She cited reduced costs and an increased community connection as among advan-
tages of non-profit governance, with challenges including establishing stable and reliable funding. Regardless of the governance model chosen, the city would need to provide funding to support operations consistent with that of existing city-run facilities, Baxter said. Committee member Chris Thornley, of Thornley Creative Communications, said he could foresee challenges in getting quality board members for the operating group or groups. He also expressed concern regarding fundraising, that it might be more challenging for two groups than one. “The pot isn’t as deep as people think it is,” Thornley said. “It’s a big issue that should be looked at… Maybe one society has more value than you might think.” Baxter is to present her finalized report to the committee at the end of February.
After-hours incident
Abduction attempt at school reported White Rock RCMP are investigating an attempted abduction of a nine-year-old girl on school grounds last Friday. The incident was reported to police and the school on Tuesday, according to officials. The attempted abduction occurred around 3:30 p.m. in the playground of White Rock Elementary (1273 Fir St.), when an unknown man approached the girl and tried to lure her to a vehicle, according to the report. Const. Shaileshni Molison described it as “a very brash move.” “We’re not taking it to be something innocent,” she said. “A man approached the girl and asked her to come with him to his car for some treats,” a school letter to parents states. “The girl said no, and other parents sitting nearby heard Suspect and looked at the police composite man. The man then quickly left.” Molison believes fear was behind the delayed reporting of the incident to police. “I think probably because the girl was frightened and the mom wasn’t sure what to do,” she said. Wednesday, police released a composite of the alleged assailant, who is described as a bald Caucasian, 20 to 30 years old and approximately six feet tall, with tattoos covering both arms and a stud earring. He was wearing a darkcoloured T-shirt with red writing and beige shorts. Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 778-593-3600. – Tracy Holmes

Marijuana production takes toll on community, judge says
One-year jail for grow-op
Vandal i from page 1 Sayer said he first reported problems in August and most recently on Jan. 11. He noted his troubles started not long after he had to say no to an area resident’s request to have some trees on his property topped. Looking into it, he learned he couldn’t legally comply – unless there’s a good reason for it, as city bylaws prohibit tree topping. “I don’t know what to do,” he said, of curbing the damage. Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said while there is “sometimes very little we can do” – without a suspect, witness or surveillance – such damage is a crime and any future incidents should continue to be reported. “If there is an issue with somebody vandalizing trees or causing mischief to trees in the area and others have made reports then we know we have a situation,” Paquet said. The information “could be useful down the road.”

White Rock bylaw under review
Sign of faith on the agenda Sarah Massah
“So in other words, we would legalize the United Church sign that is out there and has been out there for the last 60 to 70 years,” Mayor Wayne Baldwin quipped.
Other changes would include that all buildings in the city display civic addresses clearly visible from the street in order to ensure a quick response from fire or emergency services, as well as for ease of guests and deliveries, Wilson said. The third change applies to construction projects, which are currently limited to one free-standing sign on each road frontage, with a maximum area of 32-square-feet. Changes proposed would allow promotion of projects on the fencing that surrounds the site while under construction while minimizing the impacts on surrounding neighbourhoods, Wilson said. Council voted to receive the information for further consideration.
“She picked it up and said, ‘Dad, it’s mom’s’,” he said Monday. They discovered that his wife’s purse had been rifled through. Amongst missing items was approximately $5,000 in cash that had been destined for the bank, along with credit cards and keys. Sandhu said the culprit accessed the office with a key that had been left in the back.
While his wife had noticed a man who looked to be in his 50s emerge from the back of the store, she didn’t suspect anything nefarious. He is described as a clean-shaven man wearing black gloves, a hat, grey pants and a white shirt. Anyone with information may call RCMP at 778-593-3600. – Tracy Holmes

White Rock council will review proposed changes to the city’s signage bylaw – that would, in part, bring a scofflaw church back to the right side of the law. The proposed bylaw amendment, introduced by senior building official Richard Wilson, will provide clarification on civic addressing, make minor changes to construction-project signage and include places of worship in the changeable copy area of the bylaw. Currently, council heard last Monday, the changeable copy signage bylaw applies mainly to theatres, recreation centres, community establishments and schools. The proposed amendment would include places of worship.

Drivers enjoy gas-price drop – for now
T
here are pockets of the Fraser Valley – typically east of Langley – with the distinction of, historically, having some of the cheapest gas in the region. Prices in Surrey have typically been about average, when compared to other cities in Metro Vancouver. And while there are, no doubt, drivers in Surrey and White Rock who zip down the road to take advantage of the cheaper prices – or into Blaine for even bigger savings at the pump – drivers here have been, in the last week or so, getting used to a new normal, with most gas stations offering fuel at about $1 per litre. Depending on the vehicle you drive, this amounts to what some estimate to be an average savings of about $30 per car every month – and even more, for those with frequent or long commutes. As an added bonus for consumers, history has shown that the prices of other goods could very well drop, too, if the price of oil stays low. And there are critics who suggest that the price of gas should be even lower – perhaps considerably so – as oil prices continue to drop, but are instead being artificially propped up by those set to benefit – the oil companies themselves, and the government, via gas taxes. But as an oil-producing nation, there is also a downside to this situation, and the Bank of Canada says the gains will be outweighed by the losses because reduced oil revenues will hurt the economy. Already, the pinch is being felt in some places, such as oil-rich Northern Alberta, where the cooling job market has been the subject of numerous media reports of late. As well, federal Finance Minister Joe Oliver has said sliding oil prices will put a dent in government coffers. But while all those things may be true longterm, cash-strapped drivers here have more to spend in the near future. And if those savings – however much they may be – are invested wisely, or used to pay off debt, perhaps these predictions will prove less dire, at least for the Average Joe.

Jason is no longer that young 20-something with a backwards hat, double earrings on one side and a cigarette hanging from his lips. Today, he’s a 30-something devoted husband and father who always puts his three ladies first. He even sacrificed his nasty smoking habit for me – my only stipulation for walking down the aisle. There have been a few rocky years, and I’ve been guilty of casually tossing around the D-word in the past, but it’s long since vanished from my vocabulary. I guess that’s why we were both so taken aback to hear it from our bambina’s mouth. Yes, we’re broke, tired and thicker in the middle these days, but our relationship is stronger than ever. When our girls are finally fast asleep, we love to cuddle on the couch, share a bottle of wine and have marathon sessions of our favourite show while folding all the pink laundry. The next morning, while getting the girls ready for school, I snuck a smooch on daddy’s lips. “Yuck, that’s gross,” squealed Zoe. Molly didn’t seem to share her threeyear-old sister’s feelings. “Do it again!” she said, smiling. Perhaps we’ll step up our game a bit – maybe I’ll even bust out my flat iron and swap my yoga pants for real clothes every now and then. However, I think we’ll leave that tequila bottle sealed or all that laundry will go unfolded and those mornings with the girls won’t be as charming.

No question on free speech Editor: Re: Online question of the week, Jan. 15-21. Your “question of the week” this time around was depressing. It’s incomprehensible to me that in Canada anyone would ask such an absurd question as this: “Is retaining ‘free speech’ worth the public threat from terrorists?” What’s even more unbelievable is some voted ‘no.’ Without free speech, we don’t live in a free society. If you surrender that most basic and necessary freedom, you might as well raise the white flag and surrender now to the terrorists. Censorship will prove their methods are successful, thereby ensuring terrorism continues. Sheila Tofflemire, White Rock
and ambulance people have not suggested environmentally friendly road construction to our politicians. Mary Mikelson, Surrey Q Re: City in for a bumpy ride, Jan. 13 letters. I live on 20 Avenue in South Surrey. The road is a disaster from the South Surrey Athletic Park west to 128 Street and, unfortunately, my husband and I must drive it daily while straddling the seams, bumps and patches from years of roadwork that has been poorly patched. After the upgrade to bike lanes and sidewalks in 2013, we had hoped the road would finally be repaved in its entirety. Not to be. It is one patch after another, and we are fed up. Come on, City of Surrey. Let’s get these roads repaved properly. Valerie Giles, Surrey
View behind the scene An open letter to the White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin. I am a White Rock resident who has been seeking a solution to an unsightly mess that I have been subject to since I moved into my condo on Marine Drive. Unfortunately, my unit faces rear. Unlike the units that enjoy ocean views, mine is of a rat-invested back lane that is in continual state of mess and full of horrible smells. The recycling and garbage containers for multiple commercial properties are in no way kept on their properties and put out once a week for pickup. These are businesses that, to my understanding, have been for over
20 years disregarding the bylaws that are in place to allow residents and visitors to enjoy our city. This is what I was told after a phone conversation and 60-minute sitdown a city department manager. The city recently completed a street restoration project on Victoria Avenue, which included a nice rocklooking concrete feature along the length of the retaining wall. The thought that went into this could not have included thinking we would then have this horrible view of garbage, recycling and rats. I believe our “Unsightly Premises and Graffiti Abatement Bylaw” should allow our bylaw department to require businesses who are responsible to manage their recycling and garbage in a way that it does not continue to cause this kind of unsightly nuisance.

With freedom comes duty Editor: Re: Educate in order to eradicate terrorism, Jan. 15 editorial. This is an excellent editorial, especially the last line: “And we members of the public must educate ourselves, so that we do not create the kind of terror we hope to eradicate.” Michele McManus, White Rock Q Total freedom of speech or action could well result in taking away someone else’s freedom. We need to be able to express our opinion in a respectful and sensitive way, but not free to insult, disrespect or hurt others. That only accomplishes resentment, anger and hatred. As your editorial stated so well: “We members of the public must educate ourselves so that we do not create the kind of terror we hope to eradicate. Lorraine Pfortmueller, Surrey
Better ways to pave the way Editor: Why don’t our cities practise environmentally friendly road construction? Environmentally friendly road constructions eliminates concrete curbs and most other concrete barriers. With environmentally friendly road construction, the water can drain on the shoulders; less water on the roads, less water running into our storm sewer, less pollution going in our rivers and ocean. All these concrete constructions cost a great deal of money and are a huge burden on the taxpayer. Unfortunately, with all these concrete obstructions, there is no place to pull over when an emergency vehicle wants to go by. I wonder how much time they lose getting to their destination? I am surprised that the police, fire

Born generations apart – and in different countries – Viki and Maggie found friendship as neighbours in White Rock.
Respect has no age limitations Editor: Kindred spirits. I am talking about my neighbour, who is 95 years young. We only met shortly after we moved into an apartment complex in White Rock in 2013. Her luminescent smile portrayed an instant “I care.” From the short, warm hello, it went to frequent visits where we got into an intensive conversation about “old times,” about our birth countries and how we grew up. Age? Does it make a difference when two people understand the language of humanity? Common values, common interests? Equality, history? No, it doesn’t. I am no stranger to “old age” and friends. Growing up, daily visits to the “old” neighbours were a highlight. Eager to learn about life – or better yet “wisdom” – was so intriguing, I would forget about time and curfew. My parents used to knock on neighbours’ doors to find me glued, sitting beside my older companions. My dear friend, Viki, was born in Siberia and I was born in Switzerland, a generation or two apart, yet our minds unite in the same frame of mind and equal human destiny. Our common language is “let the heart speak.” She tells me about the Second World War and how she escaped from Latvia to Germany. My parents were her age, and I recall them talking about the ongoing bombing and all they endured even living in “neutral” Switzerland. The war showed no mercy for Viki. Having lost everything and ending up in a foreign country, she sure created the most affectionate, caring, loving family I have ever met and is still part of her daily life and care.
It is due to the love of her family that she is still enjoying “being home” and having the dignity we all should get. I get asked, why isn’t she in a home? Why? It is quite simple. She is home. Why would anybody want to shove an alert soul into an unfamiliar room waiting to die? Have we as a society come that far that when our seniors can’t hear well or may hit a certain age, we feel we have to get rid of them just so we won’t be reminded where we ourselves are heading towards? I am deeply hurt by that uncaring notion that because we reach a certain age, we no longer contribute. My friend is more alert than many I know. She certainly knew how to make the best out of a desperate situation. She still reads book after book – good ones that keep the brain in reality and stimulate the conscious mind. Age and aging is an amazing transformation. We can either take it with open arms or fight every wrinkle we so courageously earned. My choice is clear, there are no limitations when it comes to mind, heart and soul. Every visit with my friend is a new sign of what love and respect can ignite; I will treasure every moment until the end of time. What happened to teaching our youth about humanity? Our schools are focused on how our children may land that CEO job. In my opinion, being educated in how to relate to one another with respect and learn to communicate and unite would be much more effective. I can tell you, the rewards are endless.

Drivers failed to stop for police in separate incidents
Two cars flip during chases Sheila Reynolds Black Press
Two separate crashes in Surrey Sunday resulted in rollovers when the drivers failed to stop for police. The first took place at about 1 a.m. Jan. 18 after a Surrey RCMP officer attempted to pull over a vehicle bearing a stolen licence plate.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
Psychiatrist Greg Passey speaks at a PTSD forum in Surrey. Passey, who spent 22 years with the Canadian Forces, also has PTSD.
Post-traumatic stress disorder diagnosis ‘leads to stigma’ i from page 1 Passey said the 12-year Afghanistan mission produced 300-350 victims of PTSD annually. Exposure to shocking or chronic events can trigger flashbacks or irrational fears when soldiers go back home. Passey said he has encountered veterans at home in full-panic mode at the thought of something as seemingly mundane as grass, or others traumatized by certain sounds, colours, even the sight of children. Many who witnessed events during peacekeeping missions in the former Yugoslavia or Rwanda were particularly hard-hit, as several of those events involved civilians. There are other costs to all this, Passey said, involving broken families, depression, drug and alcohol addiction and greatly increased utilization of health services for stress-related health issues, including doubling the rate of heart disease. A life with PTSD can be shortened by 15 years. Passey explained the current view of PTSD by the Canadian Forces and Veterans Affairs
(VA) are lamentable, as veterans are treated with bias, stigma and discrimination. “The whole system needs to change.” Much of his anger is geared towards the 2006 New Veterans Charter. Passey said in recent years, there has been a protracted clawback of services to veterans who suffer from PTSD. Front-line clinics and VA offices have closed, and the system has become increasingly adversarial, with reductions in long-term benefits for chronic physical and mental injuries. Many veterans, he said, suffer the further indignity of rejection letters from the VA following claims and further appeals for aid. A VA budget of $1.1 billion was recently reduced to $200 million. Among those fighting for more recognition for veterans with PTSD is Aaron Bedard, who served as a combat engineer with the Canadian Forces from 2002 to 2010. In 2006, he was wounded in Afghanistan, and suffers from PTSD, he told forum attendees. Released from service in 2010, and after

insensitive to their needs. On Jan. 5, Fantino was demoted to the position of associate defence minister. Bedard, who lives in Chilliwack with his wife, Iva, and son, James, said he and 2,000 others online are beginning to put pressure on Fantino’s replacement, MP Erin O’Toole. Assisting veterans pro-bono through his law firm Miller Thompson LLP, lawyer Donald Sochoran said “The government is like a three-year-old,” doing what it wants. But he added that Canada is a constitutional democracy and laws can be changed – including the New Veterans Charter. Cocker, who is getting more involved in advocating for other veterans, admitted at the forum that he was nervous bringing his story out into the open. It was his first-ever speech at a microphone. “I’m not looking for your sympathy,” he told the crowd of 45. “I’m looking for your help.” For more information, visit www.bcosi.ca or www.equitassociety.ca

seeing the number of suicides among veterans, he became one of six plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the Canadian government before the B.C. Supreme Court to overturn the New Veterans Charter. White Rock-based Equitas Society, formed in 2011 to help disabled soldiers, is spearheading that case. Bedard said few people are speaking about the subject, so “it keeps sliding back to me.” Among Bedard’s efforts in recent years was helping to put pressure on MP Julian Fantino, then-Minister of Veterans Affairs, who was widely criticized by veterans for being

A letter of gratitude
Life after terrorists attack Paris
Seeking solace, from home J e suis Charlie. I am Charlie. Three simple words that have rocked the world. Three ordinary words that have ricocheted across our fragile planet like a boomerang on steroids. Three uncomplicated words that have pierced our very souls to the core…and made us resilient and unafraid. My beloved city of Paris, where I once lived as a young student, has rebounded with strength and resolve after the heinous killings of the Charlie Hebdo journalists and other innocents. Parisians are united in their resistance as they gather April Lewis in the streets chanting “Je suis Charlie!” As a million people congregate at the Bastille, a site that conjures up memories of years of French struggle and bloodshed, they repeat these words with a fierce French passion. “We are not afraid!” We will not cower and hide ourselves as you terrorists and mindless peons attempt to frighten us into submission, they seem to say. We will not succumb to your vitriolic, meaningless rhetoric which has nothing to do with any religion or God I have heard of. The world agrees and has the deepest empathy for our European friends. The world is watching and mourning along with them. I am not Charlie…I am April and I am afraid!

South Surrey filmmaker Alison MacLean will speak Feb. 18. Remember Madrid? Mumbai? London? Bali? And Ottawa? This senseless and barbaric violence has now come to our nation’s capital in broad daylight and shaken us out of our complacency. We Canadians know we are no longer immune to this intimidating terror campaign by a few misguided, malevolent misfits. We can no longer turn a blind eye. Oh sure, I do my bit so I can sleep at night. As I sit comfortably in my suburban home, cocooned within my fear, I donate monthly to Doctors Without Borders. I have even left a legacy in my will. That is my earnest contribution to the plight of the unrest in the world. No, I am not righteous. I am simply afraid. But there is another Canadianborn, caucasian woman, who lives in Crescent Beach, who is not afraid. She is a blonde, divorced, single mother of two teenagers. She is a journalist and
documentary filmmaker. Her name is Alison MacLean, and she has been to Afghanistan five times, specifically to help female police, military and security personnel. And children. She has filmed as an embedded combat camera journalist and knows all about war and terror from the front lines. On her most recent trip, she had no NATO support or protection. In fact, in August 2014, Peace Arch News reporter Sarah Massah, in her Filmmaker documents return of hope piece, wrote about MacLean’s most recent trip where she finished filming her documentary Burkas 2 Bullets, as well as aiding in humanitarian efforts. What motivates her to put her life in danger? In her own words, “Women and children are creating a new future for the people of Afghanistan. As a Canadian filmmaker – and mother – I will continue to support their journey toward education and a life filled with hope for the future of their country.” Your White Rock/Surrey chapter of CARP is pleased to welcome MacLean as she shares her factual story on what’s happening today in Afghanistan, including film clips about Canada’s legacy as well as a focus on Afghan police and military women and finally the radicalization of youth and ISIS. Please join us on Feb. 18 at White Rock Community Centre from 6:30 – 9 p.m. Cost is $10. RSVP to Denice at 604-5385778. We are all Charlie. April Lewis is the local communications director for CARP, a national group committed to a ‘New Vision of Aging for Canada.’ She writes monthly.

With gratitude I am excited to announce my retirement from Hair Art Academy. To all of the clients of Hair Art Academy who have made my business a success, I thank you. Many of you have supported us for the entire 21 years and I hope you will continue for many more. I've been blessed to work with many extraordinary educators who strengthened the reputation of the academy. Thank you for your talent, your loyalty, and the many laughs we shared. A special thanks to Peter Schroeder, my right hand man, who was the Director of Hair Art Academy New West for many years before coming back to White Rock. You have been, and still are a great strength to the school. You are my rock. Thank you to all of the grads who have stayed in touch. Its wonderful to watch you succeed in your careers; many working in salons and some opening salons of their own, some traveling the world and some working at home and raising families. We appreciate your continued support of Hair Art Academy. To the students at the Academy, I'll still be around to support you in your career and future. It is my passion to see you succeed. You have taught me compassion, patience and tolerance, and blessed me with an extraordinary career. Congratulations Van Hong, president of Hair Art Academy. Your talent, enthusiasm, and business savvy brings a renewed excitement and vibration to the Academy. I encourage everyone to visit the school and experience Van's big heart and passion for the industry. Thank you! Elke, Now, I am not hanging up my scissors completely!

ANNOUNCEMENT
Semiahmoo groups to host Jan. 31 event
Dale Bradford is pleased to welcome Michael Rathborne as a partner at the firm and will now be practicing as Bradford Rathborne LLP
Raising wetland awareness A quartet of environmentfocused groups on the Semiahmoo Peninsula are inviting residents to mark World Wetlands Day by learning a little more about local stewardship of the area’s endangered habitats and the creatures that call them home. The Jan. 31 event – hosted by Friends of Semiahmoo Bay Society, Semiahmoo Fish & Game Club, the Little Campbell Watershed Society and A Rocha Field Centre – is to include
a guided walk and details of ongoing efforts to conserve the once-extirpated Salish Sucker. World Wetlands Day has been marked annually since 1997, to raise awareness about wetlands, which boast habitat that is critical to the survival of many plant and animal species. Those planning to attend Jan. 31 are asked to wear walking shoes or boots and be prepared for cold, wet weather. The 8:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. event will go ahead rain or
shine, starting at the Semiahmoo Fish & Game Club clubhouse (1284 184 St.) and wrapping up at the A Rocha Field Centre (19353 16 Ave.). The event is family-friendly and open to all ages. Organizers note that while the forest trail at the hatchery is accessible to all, a steep trail at the A Rocha Field Centre requires mobility. For more information or to register, email Marg at blueheron@birdsonthebay.ca – Tracy Holmes

Exempt your child from the FSA
Dear parents, We work hard to give your children the best education possible. We celebrate with them when they master a new concept and help them think creatively when tackling a tricky problem. But standardized tests like the Foundation Skills Assessment (FSA) in Grades 4 and 7 take away from those wonderful moments of learning. The FSAs do not count for marks, create needless stress for students, are expensive, and the muchdelayed results do not actively support your child’s progress. The data is also misused to rank schools, which puts pressure on teachers to teach to the test, instead of to students’ interests and needs. That’s why teachers in Surrey recommend you send a letter to your school principal requesting that your child be exempted from the FSA.

Surrey Art Gallery celebrates 40 years with three new exhibits
Taking a look back at Surrey’s origins burying of ancient history under new freeways in North Delta and the memorialization of the past in one of the province’s oldest pet cemeteries in Surrey. According to a news release, artists in this exhibition show the many ways the Southbank region of the Lower Mainland collectively presents – or turns away from – its histories and memories. The show features work from the gallery’s permanent collection, as well as art borrowed from private collections. Participating artists include Jim Adams, Michael Abraham, Sean Alward, Nicoletta Baumeister, David Campion and Sandra Shields, Roxanne Charles, Sanjoy Das, A.S. Dhillon, Robert Gelineau, Robert Genn, Polly Gibbons, Ravi Gill, Shandis Harrison, Jeremy
Herndl, Brian Howell, Reuben Kambeitz, Micah Lexier, Suzanne Northcott, Deborah Putman, Bill Rennie, Don Romanchuck, Carol Sawyer, Kevin Schmidt and Lenore Tkachuk. The second exhibit celebrating the gallery’s anniversary is fiveartist project Re:Source – A Living Archive 1975-2015. The artists plunge into the archives to chart the gallery’s varied history and its role at the forefront of B.C.’s globally renowned art scene. Jim Adams, Polly Gibbons, Cora Li-Leger, Haruko Okano and Mandeep Wirk will bring the archives to life through an ever-evolving installation highlighting unknown stories, behind-the-scenes photographs, commentaries and critiques, while allowing visitors to interact with a
selection of themed documents. As the year progresses, the artists will modify the exhibit based on their research, introducing new ideas and objects to the display while expanding their definition and understanding of the archive. Each artist has selected a different theme around which to orient their research; topics include community outreach, invisible narratives, the interchange between art and society, time-based media and multiculturalism. The third and final exhibit opening this weekend is Taryn Hubbard: Surrey City Centre née Whalley. The Surrey-based writer will present a soundscape of Surrey’s new city centre and surrounding community that has been collected over the course of a year. Included in the soundscape

Major construction projects such as South Fraser Perimeter Road and the new Surrey City Hall, along with the ebb and flow of commuters and commerce, present a cacophony of sound in contrast to the gentle atmosphere found within local parks and nature sites. Admission to the exhibitions is by donation. A talk and tour with sound artist Hubbard and ecologist and historian Anne Murray will be held Jan. 31, 3-4:30 p.m. For more information about the exhibitions and other related events, check surrey.ca/artgallery or phone 604-501-5566.

When Surrey Coast Capital Savings TeenFest opens its doors at the end of the month, it will feature far more than simply great entertainment – there are plenty of educational opportunities, too. The Jan. 31 event – set for Cloverdale’s Agriplex and aimed at those aged 12 to 18 – is full of opportunities to “learn, connect and share” through informative displays and hands-on exhibits, including booths focused on everything from driving skills to job-hunting resources. When it comes to careerbuilding, WorkBC’s Find Your Fit exhibit should be of interest to high-schoolers. The interactive event invites students from Grades 6-10 to test their skills needed for a variety of different careers currently in demand across the province. “This terrific hands-on program will help students apply real-life experiences to their career planning,” said Ali Berman, who co-founded the event with husband Wayne Berman. Visitors will find four different areas to explore – Life and Education, Cool Stuff, Fashion and Beauty, and Health and Wellness – along with workshops, entertainment, prize draws and more. “It’s just a really fun, cool place to come hang out for the day,” Berman said. Among the organizations on hand for the totally teen-focused show will be Girl Guides of Canada, Scouts Canada, YMCA and the BC Lung Association, Sophie’s Place, McCreary Centre Society, MADD Canada, ICBC, Arts Umbrella, Pathfinder Youth

Good hearing, poor comprehension? The number of people who can hear well, but can’t understand what’s being said, is increasing. This is most evident in conversations and watching television. A newlydeveloped hearing chip is designed to restore speech comprehension without being noticeable in the ear. A lot of people have poor comprehension, though they actually still hear well. It becomes noticeable in conversation, watching television and asking family to repeat what’s been said. A potential cause can be undetected loss in the high-frequency range. This means the sensory cells in the cochlea that hear high-range sounds are damaged as a result of circulatory disorders, diabetes, sudden hearing loss or workplace noise. Hearing loss in the highfrequency range makes speech sound muffled and unclear. The person with hearing loss mixes up, or can no longer hear, consonants like s, f, t, k, h and g. Speech comprehension is particularly impaired when there is background noise or when television programs have background music. The dilemma is that people with hearing loss in the high-frequency range do not
Ginette van Wijngaarden, at Connect Hearing, advises people with hearing loss on the new hearing chip, together with her colleagues. consider themselves to have a hearing problem. They can hear deep tones with no issue, and often put difficulty understanding speech down to unclear pronunciation. However, the time soon comes when problems with comprehension become annoying. A new hearing chip has been developed. Swiss audiologists have developed a new hearing chip that restores speech comprehension, particularly with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can test the new Audéo V system by Phonak simply by calling now to do so. First, a hearing test
and speech comprehension analysis is done. Where inner-ear damage is present, a software program analyzes the difference relative to normal hearing. These values are then input into the new Venture hearing chip in the Audéo V, which precisely takes into account and balances the frequency range of the person being tested. The test phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role a new technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The chip recognizes where the person being spoken to is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this significantly augments speech comprehension, especially in conversation.

Confidence high for Valley West Hawks after major-midget hockey squad gains point on weekend
We are as good as any team: coach Rick Kupchuk Sports Reporter
A strong performance on the ice wasn’t enough for the Valley West Hawks to get a win out of a twogame set against one of the league’s top teams. The Hawks dropped a 5-2 decision to the Vancouver Giants Saturday night in Burnaby, then played to a 2-2 tie Sunday afternoon at the Langley Events Centre. “It was evenly played with opportunities for both teams to come away victorious,” said Valley West head coach Jessie Leung. “We were only able to take one ❝If we continue the point from the ” level of play weekend.

With 34 points in 28 games played, the fifth-place Hawks are three points back of the Vancouver Chiefs and four back of the Giants. Leung had to make changes to the Valley West lineup for Saturday’s game, playing South Surrey forward Eric Bocale as a defenceman with two skaters unavailable. “Bocale did a great job on the back end,” said Leung. “He played a simple game and made some fantastic outlet passes. Erik is one of the few forwards we could have put back there given his skating ability and vision.” The Giants never trailed in Saturday’s game, opening the scoring after just 84 seconds of play. Surrey Minor Hockey product Justin De Vos tied the game midway through the first period, but the Giants regained the lead before the first intermission and led 3-1 going into the third period. It was 4-1 before White Rock’s Ben Evanish netted the second

Valley West will play two home games in Richmond next weekend, playing twice against the first-place Cariboo Cougars (254-1). “We are as good as any team in this league,” said Leung. “If we continue the level of play we’ve reached, we give ourselves a chance to win every night.”

Eagles drop pair to rivals Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
The Surrey Eagles are still searching for their first win of 2015, after dropping two games last weekend. On Friday at South Surrey Arena, Surrey fell to the Langley Rivermen 4-1, and a day later, were bounced 4-2 at Chilliwack’s Prospera Centre by the divisionleading Chiefs. With wins over the Eagles, both the Chiefs and Rivermen clinched playoff berths in the BC Hockey League’s Mainland Division, while the Eagles dropped to 7-33-0-3; their 17 points is 20 back of fourth-place Coquitlam. “They were tough losses, but both really good games,” said Eagles head coach Blaine Neufeld. “Against Langley, it felt like a playoff game. It was back-and-forth, and we really traded chances with them.” Despite the three-goal deficit, Neufeld said the game was closer than the final score made it look.

goals and points – was the team’s lone goal scorer, potting his 20th of the season late in the first period, which made it 2-1 for Langley after 20 minutes. Neither team scored in the middle bracket, and Langley extended it’s lead in the third on goals from Matthew Graham and Hunter Anderson. Defenceman Matt Barberis – who was a late cut of the Surrey Eagles in training camp and is playing major midget with the Valley West Hawks – earned his first point when he assisted on the Rivermen’s third goal. The 17-year-old Surrey native was
playing in his first game with the Rivermen, as an affiliate player. Rookie goaltender Daniel Davidson stopped 25 shots in Friday’s loss – including a penalty shot – and Neufeld said he “played tremendous.” On Saturday, Christian Short got the start between the pipes, stopping 29 shots. In that game, Surrey and Chilliwack were tied 2-2 after 40 minutes – Cole Plotnikoff and Jordan Wiest tallied for the Eagles – but the Chiefs scored a power-play goal early in the third, then tacked on another i see page 32

We were only down one until late, and then they capitalized on a couple bounces, and we fell behind,� Neufeld said. “Saturday was the same thing. We’re in these games, and we’re just a bounce or two away from getting things to go our way.� Talk of bounces aside, Neufeld admitted he doesn’t necessarily believe in teams just getting lucky breaks, and instead subscribes to the theory “that you make your own luck.� In that regard, he said he hopes his team will be able to grab a couple victories as the season winds down, if for no other reason than it will help with his young team’s mental outlook. “We’ve been through so much this season, and it gets to the point sometimes where if you get a bad break, you start to just expect that you’re going to lose.

in four games since being acquired from the Minnesota Junior Hockey League, while Funk joined the team full-time after the Jan. 10 trade deadline saw Surrey lose young sniper John Wesley to the Western Hockey League.
Funk – who was leading the Junior ‘B’ Aldergrove Kodiaks in scoring prior to joining the Eagles – had played a handful of games with Surrey as an affiliate player, but was afforded permanent status when Wesley’s departure opened up a spot. Wesley’s WHL rights were held by the Vancouver Giants, who traded him to the Lethbridge Hurricanes, and the Hurricanes wanted Wesley to join them immediately. “We’re happy for John. We’re all about promoting kids to the next level and helping them move on – whether it’s college or the WHL,� Neufeld said. The Eagles have a busy weekend ahead of them. Today (Thursday), they’re in Prince George to take on the Spruce Kings, and the two teams will play a rematch Friday night, also in Prince George. Surrey then returns home for a Sunday afternoon game against the West Kelowna Warriors. Puck drop is 4 p.m.

Chevrolet expands its electrifying portfolio with the Bolt EV Concept. With a range of more than 300 kilometres, this all-electric stylish crossover is aimed for the masses, not just the select few. “While it’s still a concept, pricing for this type of vehicle will be in the $30,000 range. Not cheap, but certainly attainable. It even allows you to use a smartphone to perform as the key fob.” Acura is showing off the return of its simply beautiful NSX sports car to the market. The Porsche-loving Jerry Seinfeld was flown in to add some celebrity power but there was no — because this $150,000-plus super car speaks loudly for itself. It will be powered by a new Honda V6 mated to a ninespeed dual clutch transmission, assisted greatly by three electric motors — one for each of the front wheels and another to add torque while the turbos get up to speed. Interesting that Honda should be getting back into F1 racing; now it features hybrid power plants! Ford is teasing showgoers with a stunning new 600-horsepower Ford GT, which will more than likely have a price sticker similar to that of the NSX. The Infiniti Q60 concept’s premiere appearance was somewhat overshadowed by the aforementioned machines in the media here. However, Alfonso Albaisa, the Infiniti executive director of design, delivered a passionate description of the high-performance sports coupe that will come to market within the next year, with a price tag somewhat lower than the Ford and Acura products.

Detroit, MI – Within moments of pulling out of a parking lot in the 2015 Cadillac CTS 3.6L AWD, its pristine crimson coat was soiled by the elements. And of course, salt, dirt, grime and all that isn’t amazing about winter in Toronto. Nevertheless, its smooth and comfortable ride didn’t disappoint along the arduous and incredibly four-plushour drive to Detroit, Mich. for the 2015 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS.) I would soon trade in the coziness of heated leather seats – and steering wheel – for a pair of not-so-cozy leather shoes and roam the showfloor to check out what’s hot, cool and what sparkles amidst the industry’s top cars. It would only make sense to start with Cadillac’s latest offering when it comes to their “V” series cars. At the Los Angeles Auto Show in late 2014, we met the ATS-V – the smaller brother of the mid-sized four-door I drove to Motown. Now, get ready for a performance sedan that will knock your socks off. Cadillac CTS-V Arriving late in the summer of 2015, the 2016 Cadillac CTS-V is ready to take on its German competitors (like the BMW M5 and MercedesBenz E63 AMG) with a whopping 640 horsepower and 630 lb-ft of torque. The all-new third generation sedan is the most powerendowed product the brand has ever created. But aside from power, you’ll have the luxury of the third continued on page 35

Code Blue for ER 2015 PARTNERS IN CARING GALA presented by
Acura NSX Perhaps one of the most anticipated reveals of the last few years from the Japanese automaker, Acura, comes in the form of the NSX. The acronym, which stands for New Sports eXperience, rolled out onto the stage to a frenzy of flashes from the crowd. Heck, even funnyman, Jerry Seinfeld, couldn’t miss the reveal as he sat in the front row awaiting its presence. While pricing hasn’t been released yet, it’ll likely be north of $150K. But, for that price, you get a vehicle that not only delivers gargantuan power, but one that is hybridized thanks to an all-new power unit. That unit is a twin-turbocharged, 75-degree DOHC V6 engine with a 9-speed dual clutch transmission and three-electric motor Sport Hybrid system. Not to mention Acura’s Super-Handling AllWheel Drive, so it’s a perfect supercar for all seasons. Chevrolet Volt Speaking of electric motors, Chevrolet gave us a preview of the 2016 Volt. With a longer EV range and a lighter
Cadillac CTS-V at the Detroit Auto Show. body, not to mention a new design, this plug-in hybrid is sure to win even more hearts over. Highlights include an EV range of up to 80 km, a new two-motor drive unit, which is now up to 12 percent more efficient and 45 kg (100 lb) lighter than the first-generation drive unit, and a new 1.5L range extender, designed to use regular unleaded fuel, offering a GM-estimated combined fuel consumption rating of 5.7L/100km. Lexus NXB Concept Bike Completely changing gears, atop one of Lexus’ sparkling vehicles at their stand was a concept bike that caught my eye. Not only because it was totally out of place at an auto show, but also because it looks so cool. NXB stands for Neo Xtreme Bike and comes with a Lexus original carbon frame and carbon wheels. Even if it never is ridden, I still like the idea of a zero-emissions commute on something as interesting as this concept.
Chevrolet Bolt EV Concept For a zero-emissions commute that doesn’t require muscles but rather a motor, the Chevrolet Bolt EV Concept is another step in the brand’s commitment to the electrification of automobiles. It’s still a concept, but it embodies the philosophy of giving drivers over 300 kilometres of range out of one charge, without charging a premium for it. The concept’s technological prowess can be linked with an App in which you can control various vehicular functions like starting the car from your smartphone. Additionally, it even incorporates the concept of automatic parkand-retrieval technology, which enables the driver to exit the vehicle and tell the Bolt EV concept to park itself – and when errands are completed, the Bolt EV concept can be summoned to return to the owner’s location. Sounds ideal to me! alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
Delta Rise lives up to its name…
Raise your expectations: A residential experience where the sky’s the limit The Delta area is moving up and quickly being recognized as a desirable place to live – so why not do it in the sky? Picture a curving tower that overlooks sprawling views of the Lower Mainland and you will begin to understand why buyers are excited about Delta Rise by Marshall Mountain Homes and ITC Construction Group. At 37 storeys high, it is the tallest tower in North Delta and offers class, convenience and security in an urban environment. The large decks, expansive outdoor living spaces and oversized windows capitalize on the use of natural light and an airy, open setting. The decks are two to three times the size of a typical high rise, and although the sizes vary on each unit, the large outdoor space is big enough for homeowners to live the life they want. While inside, the open-concept kitchens come equipped with a stainless steel appliance package and polished quartz countertops, perfect for cooking up a meal and entertaining guests. Each floor plan is designed with every day needs in mind and come in a variety of configurations in one-, two and three-bedroom plans. Prices start at $204,900 for the one-bedroom, $242,900 for the twobedroom and the three-bedrooms starting at $412,900 which include two parking spaces! Beyond the feel of spacious luxury, OTEZS Project Marketing’s Bill Szeto says that Delta Rise offers “lock and go living” that allows homeowners to have a great home, plus safety and security to take vaca-
tions without worrying while they are away. “There is also one level living, meaning ease of access, no stairs and smart, open floor plans, amazing views that are unobstructed and substantial amenities.” Some of those on-site amenities include a fitness facility, library, and business workspace including guest wi-fi, an entertainment lounge and theatre. The building also has a rooftop courtyard with a playground, Zen garden and plenty of other green spaces. However, when it comes to features that make these homes stand out, it’s all about the soaring exteriors. “There are no other buildings that will have this many suites with incredible views,” says Szeto. The surrounding neighborhood has plenty of essential services within walking distance, including grocery stores, medical buildings, the new North Delta Community Park and Rec Centre, Sungod Community Centre, restaurants and pubs, shopping centres and schools. Immediately downstairs, there will also be a few businesses, including a coffee shop. When you choose Delta Rise, you are choosing to live an upscale life with extra green efforts in a pedestrian-friendly community. The full 2-bedroom show home is open Monday-Thursday from 1pm - 6pm and on weekends from 12pm - 5pm at 11906 80th Ave Visit the Delta Rise website for more information and housing details: deltarise.ca

Passed away peacefully at home on January 16th, 2015 surrounded by family. In 1958, Mom immigrated to Canada and settled in White Rock, B.C. She was a very hard working and astute business woman and from very humble beginnings founded Semiahmoo Cleaners which grew to become a very reputable and well established dry cleaning plant.
