Japanese knotwood capable of moving concrete, residents warned
On the lookout for this ‘wicked’ weed Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter
A South Surrey resident is raising the alarm over an invasive plant he recently discovered near his home. Mardie Wolsey was picking blackberries with his grandchildren at 26 Avenue and Cranley Drive, near Sunnyside Park, when a suspicious-looking plant caught his eye. Having recently read an article in Macleans about Japanese knotweed – and how it is aggressively taking over certain parts of
the province – Wolsey recognized its broad green leaves, round, bamboo-like stems and small white flowers. After sending pictures of the plant to the provincial forest ministry’s invasive plant department, Wolsey’s suspicions were confirmed. “They thanked me for noticing it, and confirmed that it is knotweed,” Wolsey said. “They told me that they will get at it, and I hope they do. It’s wicked stuff.” According to Jennifer Grenz, project man-
ger with the Invasive Species Council of Metro Vancouver, Japanese knotweed poses a “huge risk” to the local environment and infrastructure. “It’s capable of upheaving concrete, cracking foundations,” Grenz told Peace Arch News. “It’s something that’s happened to such an extent in the U.K. that people are being denied insurance and mortgages because of it. It’s only a matter of time over here before that begins to be an issue.” i see page 2

Players give hook to artistic director Alex Browne Staff Reporter
Members of White Rock Players Club have voted to remove Ryan Mooney as the community theatre group’s artistic director. However, the club’s newly elected board, in its first meeting Aug. 19, decided to keep Mooney on as director of the first production in the upcoming season – Death of a Salesman (Oct. 7-24) and possibly for a subse- Ryan Mooney players club quent show, Boeing, Boeing. Mooney said by email Monday that he is “happy to receive the support of the new board, and, at this point, have committed to directing Death of a Salesman.” The decision to remove Mooney from the volunteer position comes at what president Fred Partridge terms a “critical time” for the club, which faces financial hardships as a result of declining box office. i see page 4

‘Massive root system’ i from page 1 The council has been working over the past five years to bring together municipalities, the province and federal representatives – as well as utility companies like BC Hydro and Fortis – to battle the knotweed infestation around B.C. Grenz said that educating private residents about the dangers of knotweed – and how to eradicate it – is “the last piece of the puzzle” in the battle against the invasive plant. The ISCMV has set up a website – www.knotonmyproperty.com – which provides information about knotweed, and the dos and don’ts of dealing with it. Among the don’ts, Grenz notes, is cutting or digging out the weed. “A lot of the spread that occurs is because of poor choices in management,” she said, noting that knotweed has a “massive” root system, and what you see above ground is a small portion of the full plant. “You need a herbicide that will move all the way through the plant into the humungous root system, either by way of injection guns or spraying or wiping the plant, depending on where it is.” According to Nadia Chan, natural areas co-ordinator for the City of Surrey, an eradication program has been in place throughout the city’s parks for 10 years. Additionally, a program to remove knotweed from city roadsides was put in place two years ago. “We identify locations with the knotweed and put them on a scheduled program for eradication and follow-up maintenance,” Chan told

PAN, noting the plant is treated with stem injections or spraying throughout July and August. “We follow up with yearly monitoring on all those sites and provide treatment the second and third year, if required.” Chan said Surrey is currently managing knotweed in about half of the city’s natural area parks, noting some sites are simply a few stems whereas others are a few square metres of plant. “Roadside sites tend to be larger because the plant is very easily spread by mowing,” she pointed out. Surrey residents who spot Japanese knotweed on city property are asked to call the parks service request line at 604-501-5050; for knotweed on private property, Chan recommended contacting the ISCMV. For Wolsey, whose townhouse is less than a block from where he discovered the knotweed, getting the problem under control in his neighbourhood needs to be a priority before homes become affected. “People around here should be notified so that they can keep their eyes out for it,” he said.

Four proponents of the arts community to be honoured
City of Surrey names its civic treasures A historian, a reporter and musician, and a couple with a passionate belief in Surrey as an arts hub have been announced as Surrey’s 2015 Civic Treasures. Roger Bose, Alex Browne and Cora and Don Li-Leger are to be honoured at the Surrey Arts Centre on Oct. 6, at the annual Business and the Arts Reception. The award honours individuals who have achieved excellence in the production of the arts and/or made significant contributions to the development of arts and heritage in Surrey and beyond.
Each of the recipients “exemplify the true spirit of a Civic Treasure,” Coun. Judy Villeneuve, chair of the public art advisory committee, said in a release Tuesday Roger Bose morning. “Their contributions to the arts and heritage communities in Surrey are significant and form part of the city’s cultural legacy. For this, we are truly grate-

ful.” Bose, a lifelong Surrey resident, is noted as a source of historical knowledge in the city, particularly Cloverdale; an active volunteer with
such organizations as the Surrey Historical Society; and an instrumental research contributor to an upcoming book about the Bose Family Farm. Browne – who is Don Li-Leger Peace Arch News’ longtime arts and entertainment reporter – is being cited for his decades of promoting and supporting artists and new arts initiatives in Surrey; his creative
efforts and thoughtful critiques in PAN; and his own dedication as a musician and actor. Cora and Don Li-Leger have a “passion for local Surrey art and artists (that) is matched only by their love of global contemporary art,” an online summary notes. Described by supporters as “an unending source of cultural knowledge and inspiration,” the LiLegers are “tremendous role models and mentors for many local emerging artists.” For more information, visit www. surrey.ca/awards
Blazes near farmland
Fire season frustrates Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
A pair of fires on rural Surrey sites are a good reminder of the need for vigilance in careful disposal of cigarettes and other incendiary materials, officials say. Deputy Chief Larry Thomas said crews spent about six hours fighting a “fairly big” fire in a blueberry field Monday, after smoke was spotted just after 3 p.m. Due to its location approximately one kilometre from the roadway, off-road vehicles had to be used to gain access to the site, and water was pumped from the nearby Serpentine River, Thomas said. Career and volunteer firefighters from four halls responded to the scene, with the last leaving the site about six hours later. Thomas described the fire as a difficult one, given the land type. “The problem with that land in that area is there’s a lot of peat,” he said, explaining such fires smolder underground. “You have to soak the ground thoroughly.” And while the cause of the fire is unknown, Thomas noted that many of the blazes that fire crews

That appeared to be the case Friday, when crews spent just over two hours fighting a brush fire in the 13100-block of Colebrook Road. Alerted to the fire just before noon, firefighters arrived to find railway
crews working to extinguish the wind-driven flames, which were spreading quickly. Again, cause of the fire is unknown, however, Thomas said that near train tracks – metal on
metal – “there’s lots of things that could create a spark.” The scene was cleared shortly after 2 p.m. There were no injuries in either fire.
White Rock developer hosts public-information meeting
Opposition continues to dominate tower talks Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter
Anti-highrise sentiment was once again on display in White Rock last week at a publicinformation meeting hosted by proponents of a 12-storey development proposed for Thrift Avenue. A petition calling for the city to vote against any highrise development applications was circulated among the crowd of about 30 attendees, while city staff were peppered with questions about how the proposed development – at 14825 and 14835 Thrift Ave. – would fit into the city’s Official Community Plan, currently under review. Resident Carol Blacklaws, discussing the city’s review of the OCP with staffer Eric Shaw, said she was frustrated at the lack of vision she has witnessed among staff and
council, and the helplessness residents feel in the face of the unfinished OCP. “We have these amazing, passionate people who feel very strongly about creating a livable city, and they’re being confounded, because there isn’t a vision,” Blacklaws said. The development in question at the meeting – held Aug. 20 at the White Rock Community Centre – is for a 12-storey, 36-unit residential building, applied for by Forge Properties Inc. Cory Saran, principal at Forge, told Peace Arch News that he and his colleagues are aware of the “stigma” of highrises in White Rock, but hopes to win over those in doubt with an “inspiring design” he said will help meet a need for residents looking to downsize. “When folks have an opportunity to understand our design rationale, I think it starts to

City planner Eric Shaw talks with residents. make sense, the reasoning behind it,” he said. The development was one of several to come before the city’s advisory design panel last month, at which time Forge was asked to consider a number of issues highlighted by the panel. Saran said plans for the highrise are “con-
tinually being refined” as the application makes its way through the public-consultation process. For White Rock resident Glen Gerow, the plan doesn’t pose a problem, however, the location of the proposal – two blocks west of the designated town centre boundary – does. Gerow said he understands why the city would want to bolster the town centre’s business community by increasing density in the area, but that highrises outside of the boundaries won’t help the struggling businesses surrounding Johnston Road. “I don’t think complexes like this one are close enough walking distance that they’re going to help towards achieving that objective,” Gerow said, noting the city shouldn’t be moving forward with development proposals until the OCP review is completed.

Debate ‘hints at’ criminal record i from page 1 The ouster was a result of a narrow 13-10 vote among members following a motion from the floor by director-at-large David Carroll at the Aug. 16 annual general meeting. “I believe that Ryan (has) had a negative impact on our financial health and I didn’t trust his future plans were to the club’s advantage,” Carroll told the Peace Arch News following the meeting. The motion led to a divisive debate among attending members that some later described, privately, as a “bloodbath.” Partridge acknowledged Carroll’s motion came as a surprise. “It’s still not entirely clear what prompted it,” he said. “The long and the short of it is that a number of people present wanted (Mooney) out, and there was a heated discussion and a close vote.” Mooney had been the subject of public controversy since it came to light last year that he had received a one-year conditional sentence in 2009, after pleading guilty to sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl in 2006. Originally charged with five counts of sexual assault and sexual exploitation against two victims under 18, Mooney was arrested in Squamish, where he was working as a choreographer on a high school production. His name was added to the sex offender registry for 20 years following his sentence.
Players Club executive members have since been at pains to assure the public that Mooney – who did not stand for re-election to the group’s board following revelations about his sentence – has had no contact with minors volunteering for their shows. Partridge said Mooney’s record was “hinted at, but never explicitly stated” during discussion of the motion. Mooney declined to comment on whether he believes his record has had any subsequent impact on community support for Players Club productions. Mooney was reaffirmed as artistic director by a unanimous vote of the past board following the AGM in 2014 – after his criminal record had come to public notice. “I think Ryan did bring an artistic vision to the club,” Partridge said. “He’d never caused us any trouble… I think if people had issues they should have brought them up in a more open manner. (The motion) did upset quite a few people.” Partridge said the current impetus to remove Mooney as artistic director was based more on some members’ lack of confidence in Mooney as artistic director for the financially beleaguered club, which, by some estimates, may have finished fiscal 2015 with a deficit of $50,000, including close to $20,000 in unpaid city taxes. Among issues raised in discus-
sion of the motion were poor box-office performance of shows over the last year and some members concerns over a planned coproduction with Mooney’s own Fighting Chance Productions of the musical Cats, which would have given 75 per cent of the take to Mooney’s company. Mooney said WRPC members had approached Fighting Chance in 2011 in hopes of co-producing shows that “would mutually benefit both companies.” Former director-at-large Rebekah McEwan, who declined to run again, said she had been disappointed with the outcome of the vote to remove Mooney. “From my perspective, as an adult theatre club, we benefit from having Ryan’s contributions in many ways,” she said. Treasurer Karen Doolan resigned her position following the AGM, and appointment of a new treasurer is to be voted on. Partridge said members at the AGM had received an informal review and report on club finances by an accountant. “We’re still digesting that,” he said, acknowledging it had been difficult to replace the value of work done by treasurer Gwenne Farrell – who quit following revelations of Mooney’s record. “This kind of drama is distracting… The real issue is that we need more people to come out and see theatre. At the end of the day, that’s all we want to do.”

Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner, vice-chair of TransLink, said she was pleased with the naming of the two and said it’s now time to get busy finding funding to pay for the transit plan. “But we’re making good progress, I think, and with Minister Fassbender leading as well… I feel optimistic that we’re heading in a direction that will be beneficial to us,” Hepner said. Some Metro mayors doubted the province would follow through on a pledge to appoint its own representatives to join the two mayors on the board – Mayors’ Council chair Gregor Robertson of Vancouver and vice-chair Hepner. Provincial directors had been expected on the board by early 2015. Those appointments met several delays, the last of which was waiting for the decision of the plebiscite. Fassbender said the two new directors won’t have any powers beyond a regular director, but will represent the province. The TransLink board is expected to meet Aug. 27 – the first meeting for Dinwoodie and Chu.

Complicated relationship
W
hat the Semiahmoo First Nation does on its own ancestral lands is its own business. And whether the 93 members of the group are happy with what their chief and councillors do for the salaries they draw – nearly $500,000 in combined salaries that have occasioned comment across Canada for their apparent generosity – remains, ultimately, between them and their elected officials. Whether the people represented accept the rationale provided for the salaries or take issue with the governance and services they receive, is for them to say – and so far few have commented either way. Although moves by the Semiahmoo First Nation to consolidate control of its lands – such as fencing off parts of Semiahmoo Park to limit incursions by inconsiderate dog owners – have met with some resentment, by and large most residents respect the basic principle of the autonomy of the Peninsula’s indigenous population. But to the extent that more than $3 million of the Semiahmoo First Nation’s declared income last year came from provincial taxpayers – in comparison to less than $172,000 from the federal government – we, too, could be forgiven for taking an interest in whether our neighbours’ best interests are being served. It is troubling, given that provincial contribution, that some describe living conditions on the Semiahmoo reserve as being “Third World.” And while many might decry what a massive program of land development on the reserve would mean for the whole Peninsula – as well as such ventures running counter to avowed aims and objectives of the Semiahmoo First Nation’s leadership – it does seem that there is more potential to boost economic development through wise stewardship of existing assets. Opinions differ widely on whether a formal treaty between the Semiahmoo people and B.C. would actually grant them more autonomy – some view such an agreement, which requires a surrender of indigenous title, as an attack on the legacy of future generations. The current salary and income revelations create a thorny issue because nobody – or certainly nobody on a local level – has a desire to intrude on or interfere with the dealings of the Semiahmoo people. But as long as the Semiahmoo First Nation’s income seems dependent on taxpayer contributions, rather than on its own program of economic development, the relationship with its neighbours will likely remain complicated.

double tree planting, and its general approach is to spend more money and hire more staff. Speaking of political dances, Premier Christy Clark has made a couple of appearances at fire sites where homes and businesses have been threatened or destroyed. (Today’s big-city media formula is to emphasize danger and promote attacks on premiers of all stripes. If they don’t visit disasters, they are callous and uncaring. If they do, they’re exploiting the situation for photo ops.) In her first fire-scene appearance this summer, Clark warned that drought and huge fires may be “the new normal” for B.C. as climate warms and shifts. This is great positioning for the government’s plan to attend the latest global climate doom festival in Paris this fall, but it’s not borne out by recent forest fire results. In terms of dollars spent and area burned, the years 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 were all well below average. Last year and 2009 were substantially above average, but 2008 and 2013 were among the quietest years on record. Is drought the “new normal” too? The B.C. government’s own climate change forecast is for increasing overall precipitation, albeit with more rain and less snow. Snowpacks for southern B.C. were indeed the lowest on record this past winter, but that record only goes back 31 years. And when were high snowfall records last broken? That would be 2011.

Another breed to avoid Editor: Re: Surgery for 7-year-old attacked by dog, Aug. 12. After reading about this terrible incident reported in the Peace Arch News, I looked on the Internet for more information about the particular breed of dog involved – the Dogo Argentino. Interestingly, I found that this breed is one of several banned in a number of other countries. Owning one in the U.K., for instance, can lead to a hefty fine and/or up to six months in prison. I wonder why. No, I don’t really wonder why at all. I can’t always tell, especially at a distance, but I steer clear of any dog that looks like it could be a menace. That’s why I sidestep when I pass someone with a pit bull or similar breed on a public walkway. And why I wouldn’t allow a child of mine to play anywhere in close proximity to such a dog. I hadn’t heard of the Dogo Argentino before, but I will certainly add it to my list of breeds to avoid. I hope the little girl harmed by this dog gets all the loving care she deserves. And I’m glad to hear the dog has been euthanized. Susan Kinnie, Surrey
virtue. These are strong words, but just look around you. I read of a dreadful eight-storey hotel in Vancouver without hot water for 109 days – but with rats, bed bugs and cockroaches, and no elevator. There was a day when several organizations within Canada’s social safety net would have advocated on their behalf. Today, there is no one. I am sure the City of Surrey has similar stories to tell. Add to that the steady destruction of nature and the forests that afforded refuge to the poorest resident to walk his dog and escape the ‘uglies’ of life, and consider what is left for these people? What kind of world have we created for them? In the same way that the swamp breeds mosquitoes, deplorable conditions of neglect breed despair. What does despair lead to? A frantic search for escape, usually liquor, drugs and sex. These young men and women, with no hope, no decent place to live, no job paying a fair wage, will migrate to this life. And, of course, drugs cost money, a lot of it, so they turn to crime.
I honestly wondered after reading that article, if I wouldn’t do the same, were I in their circumstances. The answer to huge problems that have been growing for many years, is never short and simple, such as hiring an army of police to control the ‘bad guys’. We have created them with our blind complacency. I believe we need to wake up, start restoring the fabric of the wonderful Canada we used to be and start caring more for one another. Sybil Rowe, Surrey
Selective communication An open letter to the City of Surrey. Several weeks ago we received a letter from the city in regard to the paving of 24 Avenue. The letter advised that work would be done from 5 a.m. to 3 p.m. We were so pleased that the bumping and banging by the big trucks along the street was finally
going to be resolved, even if we had to endure a 5 a.m. start. It is now 11:45 p.m. on Aug. 20 at the time of this writing, and I have been advised by the contractor that they will be paving outside our door all night. He also advised me that the Surrey engineering department authorized the all-night work and provided the construction company with a noise variance in order to do this work. At no time was I or anyone that I am aware of having received any notice that this was to take place. I am not sure how my wife and I or any of my neighbours along 24 Avenue will get any sleep tonight. Our home is shaking and the beeping of the machinery make sleeping impossible. It certainly would have been considerate of the city to give us some advance notice so that we could at least make other sleeping arrangements. Certainly speaks to the lack of communication with the citizens of this city. Doug Pawson, Surrey

Canada has lost her virtue Editor: Since the horrendous home intrusion and assault of my neighbour (‘Unconscionable’ assault on senior, Aug. 14) coupled with my own break-in last November (Locking doors is not enough, Dec. 11 letters), I have pondered for many hours on just what is behind this chaos we find ourselves living in today. Some of my neighbours have spoken out time and again for the need for more police. I do not believe that is the answer. The police did not create the chaos we live in, and they cannot correct it. If I were to rely upon police to make me feel truly safe, that would require my own policeman 24/7 outside my door accompanied by his German shepherd. If he is cruising down my street, the bad guys can be executing a breakand-enter on the other side of my immediate neighbourhood, and be gone in five minutes. The answer lies much deeper. Our quiet, gentler time has been replaced by a fast-growing society and an economy driven by unbridled greed. Our population in Canada is growing so fast that a new equivalent population of Toronto is born every 10 years. Are we helping these people of diverse cultures settle in and become part of the Canadian fabric as we used to? Our social safety nets, which have made Canada truly special and so different from our neighbours to the south, have been slowly dismantled over the past 10 years, with most of us not noticing. In short, Canada has lost her

Band member Darren Dolan – a lifelong resident of the Semiahmoo Reserve – has no running water or sewer.
Band members need information Editor: Re: Band members ‘disheartened’ by pay, Aug. 19. If the aspersions regarding the annual income of Semiahmoo First Nation Chief Willard Cook are true, I will be truly saddened by it. Not all band members have basic fresh running water, or sewer for that matter. I would have thought that Cook would be a responsible leader and make that happen. These basics of life one would expect a true leader to correct without delay, rather than stuff his own pockets. Are the Semiahmoo people spending their money wisely with professional oversight? Perhaps not. It does seem apparent that this money is not being apportioned to the benefit of all band members. Developers always have their own gains in mind. Let’s not forget they tried not long ago at a nearby proposal. This land belongs to the Semiahmoo people, the folks that I grew up with, respect and went to school with. I, as well, wonder how the City of Surrey has managed to place ‘no parking’ signs on property on Beach Road belonging to the Semiahmoo people. I suspect the city has done nothing more than troll for bylaw parking tickets and ignored required potable water and sanitation issues that seem unevenly apportioned to date. Make no mistake, the Semiahmoo are resilient people. This federal money was no doubt intended for more than the excessive management salary of two people and in fact must be audited and repaid. Ron Eves, White Rock
Q From my living a stone’s throw from the Semiahmoo Reserve for over 16 years, and after reading about and witnessing firsthand the unconscionable squalor and Third World-like living conditions on the reserve – and now reading about the obscene salaries that band leaders have been paying themselves during this time – it is clear that what is needed is: 1) The establishment of a provincial Indian Reservation Advocate/Ombudsperson office, one for each of Canada’s 10 provinces; 2) Indian reserve governance legislation that would provide mandatory guidance for how Indian reserves in B.C. and across Canada are to be governed and administered; 3) Access-to-information legislation that would apply to all reserves – similar in purpose and in function to B.C.’s Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, guaranteeing reserve residents the right to be provided with copies of their band’s administrative and financial records upon request. Representatives of the government of B.C. and the federal government should forthrightly indicate if they and their political parties would commit to founding a joint federal/provincial task force or similar body – in which Canada’s natives were liberally represented – for the purpose of reaching mutually agreeable terms for the establishment of the items listed above.

BOTSWANA – INCREDIBLE AFRICA! by Ginny Harrison, White Rock Travel
Hello everyone. We went on Safari in Botswana last March, and had the trip of a lifetime! So…let’s do it again! Please join me in March of 2016, to explore this amazing nation, its people, and its wildlife. Why Botswana? Time and again, throughout my 35+ years at White Rock Travel, I’ve heard the best game viewing in all of Africa is in Botswana – and it is so true! Botswana is a country with its own natural riches (diamonds), a low human population density, a visionary government and the highest GDP per capita on the African continent. This combines to make the visitor feel safe and secure, and to thoroughly enjoy the friends you meet and the wilderness you experience. Nearly 40% of the country has been set aside as national parks and wildlife reserves! With three distinct ecological zones – the Kalahari Desert, the Okavango Delta, and the Linyanti region – wildlife differs from place to place. Once the summer rains have blown through, the country blossoms and greens, and along come the herds of animals, followed by the predators. We visit three different camps to experience many of the unique habitats, and their differing wildlife. The camps are truly beautiful. They range in size from three tents to nine, so you are always with a very small group of people. There are no fences in Botswana; we walk on raised walkways, while the animals can roam freely. While there last year, one night a family of five hippos was crossing under the walkway, the last one a little curious baby hippo. Another time, I couldn’t go to my tent, because an elephant was enjoying the grazing in my “yard”. But don’t worry! You are walked to and from your tent by the guide or camp staff. The first day at our first Botswana camp, in the Linyanti, we were watching a pair of elephants across the channel. I watched them swim, play and cavort their way down the channel for about 90 minutes – then they got out of the water right in front of my tent! My eyes were probably as big as their ears! Botswana is the country to have close encounters with the animals, in total safety! We tracked a Black Rhino, one of the few being rehabilitated in Botswana. They are guarded against poachers 24/7. We did a walking safari to see the white Rhinos. Bushbok, impala, zebra, red lechwe, giraffe, warthog, wildebeest, kudu, elephant and buffalo. Incredible birdlife. Hyena, wild dogs, lion and leopard. Every day was a new and moving experience. The camps of Wilderness Safaris are beautiful. We stayed in huge tents, with walls made of screen, with indoor and outdoor showers, beautiful decks, my own private plunge pool, it was so luxurious! Each day, we’re woken very early, still dark, have a quick continental breakfast, then off for our first game drive. We sit in open landrovers, and these 4x4s go anywhere and everywhere. Such a huge difference to sitting in a minivan with a pop up top, or driving through Kruger National Park in your closed vehicle. Then back to camp for lunch, and a siesta, before leaving again for the afternoon game drive. “Sundowners” – cocktail hour Africa Style – the bar is set up on the hood of the landrover, and we enjoy the sunset surrounded by the sounds of Africa. Wilderness Safaris, the company in Botswana, has its own bush airline, and we fly in these bush planes from camp to camp. Living in luxury, enjoying amazing food, soaking up Africa, being changed by Africa – all of this comes at a premium. And every cent is worth it. My group loved the trip last year. We all agreed it was “the best trip ever” – and this from some very well travelled clients! Huge praise for Wilderness Safaris. We love that company, and I look forward to sharing this experience in March with a new group! Come join me!

Truck recovered in Surrey, numerous items still missing after theft
U-Haul stolen from family en route to new home Vikki Hopes
at 3:22 a.m. on the Monday, and at 3:46 a.m., the U-Haul was driven away. MacDonald said the video is too dark and grainy to get any vehicle or suspect descriptions, but police believe at least two people were involved.

Anna Spencer and her five children had stopped in Abbotsford overnight last week as part of a journey from their home in Georgia – along with a U-Haul loaded with everything they own – to their new residence in Fairbanks, Alaska. The next day, the truck and many of their rifled-through belongings were recovered in Surrey. They had been en route to join husband and dad Ronald, an army man who had been stationed in Alaska and living there since May. Prior to leaving the Georgia home where they’d lived for seven years, the family loaded everything into the 26-foot GMC rental truck. This included all their furniture and other essentials that had filled their home, but also some irreplaceable items, such as several boxes of family photos; keepsakes that had
The stolen U-Haul was recovered in Surrey early Wednesday, and MacDonald said it appeared numerous items were missing. There was also significant damage to the truck’s ignition. Meanwhile, the Spencers continued on
their journey Tuesday afternoon in their van. Anyone with information about the theft is asked to contact the Abbotsford Police Department at 604859-5225, text abbypd (222973) or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

The Spencers – including the five kids ages 10 to 27 – left Georgia on July 24, staying at hotels along the way, without any problems. But that changed Aug. 17, while they were staying at the Ramada
Plaza and Conference Centre in Abbotsford. The family checked in Sunday night, but when they left at 11 a.m. the following day, the U-Haul was gone. Anna, in shock and in tears, reported back to the front desk, and police were called. Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald confirmed the U-Haul, loaded with about $100,000 in belongings,
was stolen, and the theft was captured on video by the hotel’s security system. Anna said the incident has been devastating. “That is somebody’s life in there (in the U-Haul). It didn’t take overnight to gain all of this. It took a lifetime to build what we had.” MacDonald said it appears a vehicle pulled up beside the truck

Q: How does Ultherapy work? Ultherapy uses a special A: Non-surgical ultrasound device combined with the body’s own natural healing process to lift, tone and tighten. Ulthera is the only procedure on the market that achieves all 3! This FDA/Health Canada approved procedure stimulates the deep structural support layers Caree Ludwar of the skin. This stimulation targets facial tissue including those typically targeted in a surgical facelift. It does this without disturbing the surface of the skin. Unlike lasers, which work from outside-in, Ultherapy moves beyond the surface of the skin, to target the deep, structural skin tissues where collagen is found. Using ultrasound technology, Ultherapy works from inside-out to lift, tone, and tighten skin in a non-invasive fashion. This gives the appearance of younger, more vibrant skin & a fresh appearance.

The treatment aims to release muscle shortening as shortened muscles can cause postural abnormalities and irritation to nerves, creating pain and stiffness for the patient. If the needle is inserted into a “normal” muscle, penetration is painless.

While some discomfort during treatment is expected, the improvement in pain and increased movement is dramatic and long lasting.

The signs of heatstroke to look out for include fatigue, excessive panting and thirst, hyperventilation, glazed eyes, increased salivation, and a rapid pulse. If you notice he is overheating, get him into the shade and apply cool water to his stomach, inner thighs, and the pads of his feet. Air him out and encourage him to stand or walk slowly while he’s cooling down. Provide cool (not cold) water, and if he is not drinking water then try chicken or beef broth. After he cools down, get him to the vet for an exam as the effects of heatstroke can continue for 48 to 72 hours and there may be possible damage to his organs. At the daycare we keep our dogs cool in a number of different ways: having a kiddie pool for them to play/lounge in, freezing water in tubs to make big ice cubes, using fans for constant air flow, and providing cooling dog mats. Grooming wise, many people often think that shaving their dogs thick hair will cool them down, but this is often not the case.

Concours d’Elegance returns to Blackie Spit Park Sept. 5
‘World-class’ event driven by passion Tracy Holmes
S
Staff Reporter
outh Surrey’s Kirk Stevenson owns dozens of vintage cars, but when it comes to naming a favourite, he doesn’t hesitate – his 1932 Auburn Boattail. “It is so esthetically attractive and so nice to drive,” Stevenson said Friday, during a chat at the Crescent Beach home of Brad Pelling, the driving force behind the upcoming Concours d’Elegance. Set for Sept. 5 at Blackie Spit Park, the Concours will showcase one of Stevenson’s Auburns – though not the Boattail – among about 90 collector automobiles and motorcycles from across the west coast of Canada and the U.S. In its fifth year locally – after an eight-year run in Vancouver’s Gastown ended when city officials imposed exorbitant rates for the necessary road closure – the event is world-class, Pelling, 54, said. “This isn’t just another car show. There’s no other car show like this – maybe one other in Canada,” he said, describing an affair that draws in the neighbourhood of 6,000 car enthusiasts to the South Surrey waterfront for the chance to peruse some of the world’s most prized vintage vehicles. “This is a lot different than any other show around.” Pelling – who can trace his love of the cars back 50 years – wouldn’t disclose all of the gems in store for attendees, but is confident the highlights will not disappoint. In past years, they have included the 1933 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Gran Sport, a winner at Italy’s 2012 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este; a 1928 Isotta Fraschini 8A SS from Pennsylvania; and a 1983 Porsche 953 prototype from the Porsche Museum in Germany. One confirmed for this year is the 1959 Watson Indy Roadster owned by Larry Pfitzenmaier from Scottsdale, Ariz. The fifth of 23 roadsters built by A.J. Watson, it was one of only two built for the 1959 racing season, and took second place at that year’s

The breakthrough way to SCULPT YOUR BODY! A surgery-free, non-invasive technique that gets rid of unwanted fat! Even if you’ve endured never-ending marathon workouts, you probably have pockets of plump that won’t budge. And while going under the knife may be tempting, the pain is not! Now you don’t have to. Thanks to Zeltiq a new surgery-free FDA & Health Canada approved technique is available and New Beauty Institute is pleased to have been chosen to be able to offer the treatment. How it works: As temperatures plunge, fat cells freeze long before muscle, skin or any other tissue does! Zeltiq Coolsculpting takes advantage of this. “Damaged, frozen fat cells can’t be repaired by the body, so they’re smoothing out even stubborn fat pads within two to four months” says dermatologist Mark S. Nestor, M.D., Director of the Center for Cosmetic Enhancement in Miami, Florida. And specific troublespots can be easily targeted!
What to expect: Zeltiq Coolsculpting takes about one hour per treated area. Since no anaesthetics, needles, or incisions are needed you can head back to your normal activities right away; there is no downtime. Treated areas tend to look red and feel a bit stiff for about 20 minutes, and some patients experience temporary bruising, numbness, or tenderness. What studies show: “Zeltiq removes 20% of the fat from treated areas with undeniable results. It’s producing better results than the research had predicted. Patients love it!” The catch: If you’re obese, you will not be happy with this treatment, notes Caree Ludwar, owner of New Beauty Institute. “It’s meant for people who are close to their ideal body weight and want to get rid of stubborn pockets of fat – the sort of thing that wrecks the way clothing fits. However, we have had very good results with larger belly areas on some patients.”

Confusion common when patients require various prescriptions
Proper medication management essential T
he Seniors Health Network each month poses a question to health-care professionals. This month, Fraser Health pharmacist Paul Polachek and Dr. Adil Virani, director of Lower Mainland Pharmacy Services, were told: I simply can’t keep track of all my medications. Some pills I take twice a day, some every other day and it’s very confusing. Polachek and Virani respond: Taking medications can be very complicated and the mismanagement of medication is a significant reason for people being admitted to hospital. Following these steps should help: • Either you, your family, your physician, your nurse practitioner or your pharmacist needs to recognize there is a problem with your medication management. Perhaps you’re not taking the pills as prescribed or not taking them at the prescribed frequency.
You should not make changes on your own, and family and healthcare providers should never assume that you have understood all the instructions and are taking the medication as intended. Community pharmacists can play a vital role in providing information; and in checking your adherence to your schedule and ensuring you have a schedule; checking about the effects of the medication (both good and bad); and generally conducting a regular medication review. • Your medications need to be organized. This means either your doctor/ nurse or your pharmacist should conduct a comprehensive medication review looking at everything you’re taking, why you’re taking it, whether it’s still safe and effective for you and, of course, whether you are actually taking it. An easy-to-follow schedule should be written out for you, or

Taking a variety of medications can be confusing, but help is available. you could also use blister packs, a dosette box or a machine called “Compu-med” that dispenses the medication for you. It can also be helpful for your family to provide some oversight, particularly related to medication like opiates, anti-coagulants, anti-inflammatories and antidepressants. Even if someone called you once a day to remind you what the
day is and inquire about whether you’ve taken your meds today would help. • Supports for you are available throughout the community. Having friends or family provide you some help or some helpful reminders, regular contact with your physician and pharmacist, and a well-organized system you understand are all important. • Fraser Health has a pharmacist
working out of the White Rock/South Surrey area who specializes in seniors’ medication management. When referred, he visits seniors at home after discharge from hospital and he also takes referrals from physicians, nurse practitioners, home health, seniors clinic or from other health-care professionals. He will help you organize and manage your medications at home. Speak to your health-care provider for further details. If you need to speak with a pharmacist and your community pharmacist is not available, you can call 811 and a pharmacist will provide advice. The South Surrey White Rock Seniors Health Network is a coalition of seniors service providers funded by the Peace Arch Hospital & Community Health Foundation, and working under the auspices of the Mayor of White Rock’s office.

Hope For Osteoarthritis Could Cold Laser Therapy be a Game Changer? Osteoarthritis is caused by progressive wear and tear on our joints resulting in a gradual breakdown of joint cartilage. e a ected cartilage loses exibility, lessening it's ability to absorb shock. It becomes more susceptible to damage and slowly wears away, causing the bones to come closer together and eventually grind. Neighbouring tendons and ligaments also become over-stretched as they try to compensate for this breakdown. ese changes cause painful in ammation of the tissues around the joint, and over time can become very debilitating.
e second step uses an infrared light pad at 830nm, reaching deeper into the muscle layers, as well as the tendons and ligaments. e third step includes an infrared laser wand at 840nm that is placed speci cally on the a ected areas by a trained laser therapist. is light is very concentrated and targets the deepest structures, stimulating healing in and around ligaments, cartilage, joints, and even bone.
How Does Cold Laser Therapy Work?
Cold Laser erapy is also referred to as Low Intensity Laser erapy, or Low Level Laser erapy. e Bio ex Cold Laser erapy system is a three step process, each using a di erent wavelength of light. e rst step uses a red light pad at 660nm, which gets absorbed by the cells of the skin and underlying super cial layers of muscle.
CARTILAGE
The various depths reached by Cold Laser Therapy
Cold Laser Therapy for Osteoarthritis
Cold Laser erapy breaks the cycle of degenerating cartilage by delivering lightbased energy to cells of tissues that have been a ected by osteoarthritis and are not healing fast enough, or at all. is energy stimulates speci c chemical reactions in the cell to enable and accelerate the healing process, resulting in reduced in ammation and the elimination of pain. e light energy delivered by Cold Laser erapy helps the cells to naturally overcome and stop in ammation. is reduces arthritis pain, often after relatively few treatments. More importantly, this also allows the cells to undertake the next phase of repair and healing. Especially the infrared light energy activates and promotes the natural cartilage growth process by increasing the production of cellular energy (ATP). It also stimulates the bone cells to replicate and produce new healthy bone tissue. And it increases the ability of blood cells to deliver oxygen and nutrients required for healing of the a ected cells.
Niels’ Story: How Cold Laser Therapy Helped My Mom Regain Mobility in Her Hands Being in my late 50s, I’ve seen my fair share of “can’t miss” investment tips, overhyped technologies and way too many promises of miracle cures for this or that. So call me a skeptic. However, sometimes science & engineering do bring us a technology that is truly remarkable with a profound impact on some part of our life. ere have been quite a few breakthroughs in health care. But most of the better known involve drugs or surgery. However, as I found out a little while ago, there’s a remarkable new treatment option available for a variety of conditions that involves neither drugs nor surgery. A couple of years ago my wife, Maria, and I were having dinner with my friend and business partner, Louba, and her daughter Melanie, a bright young chiropractor who had been practicing for a few years since obtaining her doctorate of chiropractic. At one point in the conversation she mentioned a new treatment called “Cold Laser erapy.” She said that it worked really well for accelerating the healing process for muscle tears, tendonitis and also for post surgical healing. at all sounded very interesting as a mental note, if I ever needed such a procedure. But when she mentioned that Cold Laser erapy had seen remarkable success in the treatment of osteoarthritis, I asked “really?” I was rather skeptical, because my mom has been su ering from osteoarthritis in an increasingly bad way for many years. People familiar with the condition know all too well, there’s no known cure for the condition, just some ways of ghting the symptoms. To illustrate: Her hands would hurt so much that she took to changing the bedsheets over 3 days. One day to change the pillowcases, another day to change the sheets and a 3rd day to change the duvet cover. Doctor Mel continued, “yes, this therapy has a remarkable success rate.” Being a health care provider, she knows that nothing in health care is ever 100%, but anything that can really help 4 out of every 5 people is truly remarkable.
So the next day, I called my mom in Ontario on Skype (another fabulous invention), told her about “Cold Laser erapy” and asked her to nd a clinic in her neighbourhood who provided such treatment. Over the years my mom had tried many di erent treatments for her arthritis. Most of the treatments didn’t work, or the side e ects were too negative. She was naturally a little hesitant. But when I asked her to do this as a favour to me, I think her motherly instincts took over and she agreed. After about 6 treatments over 3 weeks, she was very excited. “Look! I’ve got my hands back!” waving her hands to the computer camera, so I could see them. She showed me how much the range of motion in her hands had improved, and how the swelling in the joints of her hand had gone down. Why am I telling this story? Because I can’t believe that Cold Laser Niels’ mom on Skype: erapy isn’t better known and I “I’ve got my hands back!” think it really should be. And for some people, its bene ts can amount to a life changing event enabling them to return to improved mobility and eliminated or much reduced pain. at dinner resulted in a partnership and a clinic providing Cold Laser erapy, encouraged by my mom’s and others’ experiences plus other research. Sure, we’d love to be your Cold Laser Therapy clinic of choice. But that’s not the most important point of my story. What’s most important is that this remarkable treatment exists and is truly worth learning about.

It’s not a costumed version of the play, but Peninsula Productions’ staged reading of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream does promise White Rock and South Surrey theatre-goers a treat for the imagination. Gateway Theatre artistic director emeritus Simon Johnston will direct the play, first in a new series of staged readings offered by Peninsula Productions, this Friday (Aug. 28) at 7 p.m. at the company’s performance space in Centennial Park (14600 North Bluff Rd.). Originally scheduled for the ‘black box’ theatre in White Rock Elementary, 1273 Fir St., the performance has been moved due to Surrey school board requirements for technical staff that make it prohibitively expensive for community groups to use the school space. Co-sponsored by the City of White Rock, the show will bring together 14 local and regional actors under the direction of Johnston, a veteran of more than 30 years in Canadian theatre. Peninsula Productions artistic director Wendy Bollard said

Paint the Town If you like the difference a lively art scene makes to a community, you’ll want to be out and about as Semiahmoo Arts’ second annual outdoor painting competition and exhibition, Paint the Town, returns to White Rock this Saturday (Aug. 29) with artists working en plein air at 15 locations throughout the city from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. It’s an opportunity for locals to observe the ‘sport of painting’ as some of the city’s most celebrated artists are challenged to paint what they see – at a location unknown to them until that morning. You may have the thrill of seeing a view of White Rock taking shape before your eyes – one that resonates enough for you to purchase it for your own home. This year’s painting locations include the Spiritual Ingredients Bakery at 15505 Marine Dr.; inside White Rock’s community garden at Ruth Johnston Park; White Rock Library, at 15342 Buena Vista Ave.; and – naturally – beside the city’s iconic pier. As well as being judged for cash prizes and gifts from local businesses, the finished work will be on display Sept. 1-9 at the Turnbull Gallery at the South Surrey Recreation and Arts Centre, with 80 per cent of the sales going back to the artists themselves.

White Rock All-Stars eliminated from Little League World Series after two losses
‘Incredible experience’ for young team Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter
Despite back-to-back losses dashing their hopes for the Little League World Series title, the White Rock All-Stars have “fulfilled a childhood dream” in Williamsport, Pa. this month. The team made up of Peninsula 11- and 12-year-olds has been stateside for more than a week, after they won the Canadian Little League Championships on Aug. 16 in Nepean, Ont. And although the squad has not fared as well as they had hoped on the U.S. diamond – losing a hard-fought opening game Friday to Mexico 1-0, followed by a more decisive 16-4 loss to Chinese Taipei the next day – coach Bob Cumiskey told Peace Arch News the boys have soaked up every minute of the “incredible experience.” “We knew coming here that on the international side, we’re in the stiffest competition in the world,” Cumiskey said Monday morning. “So we told our guys, ‘you’re already Canadian champions before you step on the field, but yes, you’re here to try and win some games.’” A standout performance by pitcher Matthew Wilkinson in White Rock’s opening game Friday was not enough for the Canadian champs to secure a victory. Wilkinson threw five scoreless innings – racking up 16 strikeouts – before being relieved by Alen Sugimoto, who pitched the sixth. Wilkinson was responsible, via strikeout, for all 15 outs his team recorded over five innings, and earned an extra one when one Mexican batter struck out, but the ball was dropped by the catcher and the batter made it to first base before he could be thrown out, thus extending the inning. Mexico’s starting pitcher, Daniel Zaragoza, was nearly equal to Wilkinson on the mound, striking out 10 White Rock batters while pitching the full six frames.

The White Rock All-Stars suited up for Team Canada at the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa. At right, Kai Cumiskey throws a pitch during Canada’s loss to Chinese Taipei Saturday. Zaragoza was also responsible for his team’s only run of the game, which came in the bottom of the sixth inning when his single scored Raul Leon to end the game. White Rock managed just three hits off Zaragoza – Kieran Ritchie had two, and Kole Turner had another. “We had a very good game against Mexico, and it was a bit of a heartbreaker, losing 1-0,” Cumiskey said. “We just didn’t hit the ball as well as we would have liked.” White Rock returned to the field Saturday when they faced off against Chinese Taipei, representing the Asia Pacific region. Strong offence from Chinese Taipei in the first inning – when they racked up nine runs to Canada’s two – set the stage for a tough defeat for the White Rock squad after four innings.
“We got off to a rough start in the first, and there was no looking back after that,” Cumiskey said. Though the players took the losses hard at first, Cumiskey said, it didn’t take the boys long to perk up. “The good thing with 11- and 12-year-olds, they were in the arcade playing ping pong and in the pool swimming within an hour,” he said. The players – who went undefeated throughout their regular season and lost only once in the Canadian championship – have been making the most of the experience. The squad has visited tourist spots around Williamsport and reaped the many benefits of being part of such a prestigious tournament, including a bounty of free bats, helmets and gloves courtesy of Easton. “They’ve been treated like
kings here,” Cumiskey said. “It’s incredible. It’s better than Christmas, they’ve all said – except for one kid. He said it’s a tie.” Although they were out of the competition bracket, White Rock played a consolation game Tuesday against the Midwest team – represented by American Webb
City, Mo. – after PAN’s press deadline. Cumiskey said prior to Tuesday’s game that the players were “pretty amped up” and would be approaching the friendly match just as they would any other tournament game. “They still want to win a game before going home,” he said. – with files from Nick Greenizan

EMS football hits the road for Alaskan adventure Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
When Earl Marriott Secondary head football coach Michael Mackay-Dunn announced to his players the destination of the team’s next big road trip, he admits not everyone was immediately on board. The mixed reaction was to be expected, however – it’s tough to convince teenage boys that a trip to Alaska is better than, say, somewhere warmer. “Initially, it was a bit of a tough sell. The kids were like, ‘Alaska? Can’t we go to
California or something?’” Mackay-Dunn Mackay-Dunn said. “It’s going to be great to said, laughing. see the expressions on the kids’ faces when It didn’t take long for Mackaythey see the place for the first Dunn – who took a previous time.” ❝It’s still Friday EMS senior football team to The team left Tuesday for night football, Alaska in 2010, and has been Juneau, and will stay up north which is huge there a handful of other times, for five days.

This trip is big news in coached by Bill Haddow, a Peninsula Juneau – everyone’s really excited about it,” resident himself and a longtime friend of
Mackay-Dunn’s. The two clubs will combine as one for two games, against Juneau-Douglas and Thunder Mountain high schools. “It’s never been done before,” said Mackay-Dunn, adding that the trip has been discussed ever since Marriott’s last journey north five years ago. Scheduling was always a problem, he said, because Marriott’s football season begins in the fall and extends into the winter, but Alaska high-school football ends months › see page 20

DAVEY, Elise Marie April 10, 1923 - Aug. 20, 2015 Loving Mother, Grandmother, and Great Grandmother Elise was born to Polixene & Marcel Davreux and grew up in difficult times on the Manitoba prairies during the Great Depression. She had four siblings, Paul, Marie, Leon, and Palmyre.

Bert and Elise settled in the seaside town of White Rock, BC and Elise went to work for Bert’s Parents, Charlie and May, in their fish and chip shop on Marine Drive. In White Rock they raised their 4 children, Bob (& Eveline of White Rock), Garry (& Donna of Gabriola), Carolyn (& Ron of Gabriola) and Susan who passed in 2004.

SHELLARD, Sydney Bruce May 3, 1931- July 17, 2015 Known to all as Bruce, passed away on July 17th, 2015 at the age of 84. Born in West Vancouver on May 3rd, 1931, he lived a full life. He fathered three beautiful daughters, Jennifer, Cathie and Wendy, with his first wife Mary. His second marriage to Ann resulted in two spirited children, Candice and Geoffrey along with being stepfather to Melanie, Beverley, Jenny, Rod and Natalie. After Ann’s passing, he married his dance partner, Glady, who had three children, Karen, Trevor and Vicki. He is survived by his sister, Violet. Bruce leaves behind numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren. He spent in excess of 35 years working for Chevron, retiring from his position as a property tax analyst, one that saw him honoured by a law firm as an honorary lawyer for the work he did alongside them on behalf of his employer. Bruce was many things to many people. He worked hard and did his best to instill that in his children. At the best of times, he was the king of the castle, the doting father, the caring husband, and golfing partner. He was a lover, a fighter, a perfect-game-bowling young man, and a master of spaghetti and ribs, or the salad with everything in it. Legion 240 knew him as one of their members and as a celebrated lover of dancing. He was a provider and a man who tried his best, and that’s all you can ask of anyone. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the BC Children’s Hospital. By request, there will be no funeral service. Bruce wished there to be no special arrangements made upon his passing. However, a private Celebration of Life will be held in his honour at a later date. The family thanks you for your well wishes and hopes you remember him fondly in reverence as a loving brother, husband, father and friend.
