Fentanyl, morphine among drugs stolen in brazen daylight robbery

Baton-wielding bandits hit pharmacy Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A trio of masked robbers made off with “thousands of dollars” in narcotics in South Surrey Tuesday, during a brazen afternoon incident at the Grandview Corners Pharmasave. Staff Sgt. Dale Carr said police were alerted to the robbery at the 2448 160 St. pharmacy

around 4 p.m., after three males brandishing batons entered. “Two of them went directly to the pharmacy and one went to the till,” Carr said. “One demanded drugs or narcotics, and the other was demanding cash.” In addition to quantities of morphine, fentanyl and oxycontin, the robbers – with their faces covered and wearing dark clothing –

fled with an undisclosed amount of cash. Fentanyl is the same drug that police and public health officials issued a warning over earlier this year, following a spike in overdose deaths tied to it. The opioid painkiller – was linked to 29 overdose deaths in Vancouver in 2014, along with 18 in Langley and 15 in Surrey. “They’ve been selling it as heroin and

people overuse it and die,” Carr said. While he couldn’t say if that was the intent of those behind Tuesday’s crime, it is “always a concern that any of this stuff would be crushed up and sold as something else.” The robbers were seen fleeing the scene northbound on 160 Street in a red Pontiac Grand Am. i see page 8

Not guilty plea

Child assault case in court Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A 14-year-old White Rock boy took the stand in Surrey Provincial Court Wednesday to testify against a man charged with groping him. From behind a screen, the softspoken teen told Judge Melissa Gillespie that the accused, Robert James Antoniak, came into his room one night in February 2014 – while his dad was in the bathroom during a break from playing cards – put his hand on his bed, and then slid it over top of his “private parts.” “He put (his hand) on the side of the bed at first,” said the teen – whose identity is protected by a publication ban – in response to questions from prosecutor Adam Janturen. “I didn’t think anything of it. (Then), he moved his hand toward my left leg… toward my private parts.” Antoniak was a South Surrey resident at the time of the alleged incident. He has pleaded not guilty to charges of sexual assault and “sexual interference of person under 16.” i see page 8

Riders with the 300-km Ride to Conquer Cancer approach the U.S. border during last Saturday’s wet windstorm, on their way to raising $8.4 million.

Monsoon-like weather hinders progress – but not spirit – of fundraising cyclists

Braving storm ‘nothing compared to cancer’ Evan Seal Black Press

As the recent wind and rain storm pounded the Lower Mainland and Washington State this past weekend – taking out power and toppling trees – it also took a toll on cyclists taking part in the 300-kilometre Ride to Conquer Cancer, which took place Saturday and Sunday between Cloverdale and Redmond, Wash. Surrey cyclist Stacey Jeffares started the ride Saturday along with more than 2,000 other riders, but was soon faced with monsoon-like

rains that forced the riders to temporarily stop outside Bellingham and be transported by bus to the halfway point in Mt. Vernon. “The first day was a struggle for everyone,” said Jeffares. “People were actually getting off their bikes and walking because they couldn’t peddle against the wind.” Despite the harrowing “adventure” dodging flying branches, Jeffares awoke Sunday willing to continue to the finish line, but his bike developed mechanical issues, essentially ending his second attempt at completing the ride.

He was riding for his son, Nicholas, who survived cancer, and his friend, Al Martin, who succumbed to the disease in 2014. In all, 2,087 riders helped raise $8.4 million for the BC Cancer Foundation this year. For Jeffares, attempting the ride for a third time in the coming years is still a possibility, but that decision has yet to be determined. “What we went through for two days is nothing compared to what cancer patients have to deal with every day,” he said. “So I don’t want to say the ride has got the best of me just yet.”

Brutal-assault investigation ongoing, but leads from public wane

‘They want this guy held accountable’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Tips in the brutal assault of a South Surrey senior three weeks ago have waned, but police continue to investigate all possible leads in their effort to identify and locate the perpetrator. “It is a priority, it was a horrific crime,” Staff Sgt. Dale Carr said Wednesday. “We’re hoping as we’re sifting through bits of information and details (that) we come across something that leads us to… an arrest and charge. “But we’re not there yet.” The “incomprehensible” incident occurred in a Grandview-area home Aug. 12, when a

man entered the home, presented a weapon and restrained the 70-year-old resident. The intruder demanded cash and other items, but when the woman couldn’t comply, he physically and sexually assaulted her, causing significant injuries, then fled. The victim was able to free herself from the restraints, and police were alerted just before 2 p.m. Police issued a warning to the community early the next morning, followed by photos of the suspect captured using an ATM in Brookswood on the afternoon of the assault. A few days later, the victim told Peace Arch News by email that she was getting “stronger every day.”

Carr confirmed there is no Supt. Bill Fordy, won’t let new information to share slip, he said. with the public.

With students heading back to school next week, White Rock Community Policing volunteers Jerry Zdril and Donna Barnes tie a yellow ribbon around a pedestrian-crosswalk sign outside of Peace Arch Elementary Wednesday, to remind motorists to ‘drive smart’ – obey school-zone speed limits and be aware of kids heading back to class.

Labour Day’s approach means a long weekend for many people, but it also signals something else: The inevitable start of school. Public schools and most private schools in the Surrey School District will begin the new term Tuesday after a two-month-plus summer break. All elementary classes (Grades 1-7) begin at 10 a.m., but will end earlier than usual. Dismissal times must be confirmed with individual schools. Kindergarten children are on a gradual entry schedule for the first week, so start dates and times should be verified with schools. Secondary school students also have a shortened day Tuesday, but again, hours vary from school to school.

Unsolved murder spurs community to support youth fundraiser

Boarders jam to remember homicide victim Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

When friends of Dario Bartoli began brainstorming ways to honour their friend in a way that would capture who is was, hosting a skate jam was the obvious choice. The popular South Surrey youth, who was killed last December in a violent attack near Bakerview Park, spent many of his waking hours at the local skate park, teaching younger skaters how to do kick flips and socializing with his large circle of friends. “Dario always thought it would be cool to have some kind of skate jam here at the park,” Ian Ireland, a friend of Dario’s for many years, told Peace Arch News.

turned 16. On Aug. 12, friends and family members gathered at the park in honour of Dario’s birthday to release helium balloons with messages for the murdered teen. Dario was walking with a friend in the early hours of Dec. 13 when an altercation left him with critical injuries. He was transported to Peace Arch Hospital where he succumbed later that morning. IHIT investigators have released little information on the investigation, and no arrests have been made. Proceeds from Dario Jam – which is hoped to become an annual event – will go towards Sources Community Resources youth programs. While the event is about raising money, it’s also about reaching out to teens in the community, accord-

ing to Dario’s mom, June Iida. “It’s all about youth engagement and awareness,” Iida said. “We have to start really paying attention to them and their voices. We can learn a lot from them.” Uniting as a “brotherhood of skateboarding” is one of the most important aspects for Ireland, who said Dario was known for bringing different groups of teens together. “When people come together to do something good, it builds a strong bond,” Ireland said, noting teens are following in Dario’s footsteps by encouraging younger kids to embrace skateboarding and take care of the skate park. “I think he would be grateful that we’re speaking for him, and I’m grateful that the community is listening.”

By that time they should be able to identify possible sources of error in their investigations, understand qualitative and quantitative evidence and “demonstrate an an awareness of assumptions … and bias in their own work and secondary sources.”

Portable concern at new school Lauren Collins Black Press

Katzie Elementary, which opened in April of last year, already has five new portables. The portables were added over the summer to accommodate new students. Built to ease the overcrowding in the Clayton area, Katzie Elementary, at 6887 194A Ave., was the largest elementary school in the Surrey School District based on capacity when it was built. When the school opened in 2014, it anticipated about 475 students, but by September of last year there were around 580 students. Now, going into the 2015-16 school year, Katzie Elementary is anticipating about 650 students. According to district communication services manager Doug Strachan, most of the five new

portables will be utilized, but he added “a couple (portables) may be there in anticipation.” Strachan also said the district expects to be putting two to three new portables at Katzie Elementary every year. A request for a new elementary school in the area has been in the district’s top 10 priorities for their five-year capital plan for the Ministry of Education. According to Strachan, the request dates back to 2013. Strachan said they moved the boundary for Katzie in an attempt to ease overcrowding, but they are still “playing catch-up.” “The reality is we need another school.” A similar situation occurred when Hazelgrove Elementary, located at 7057 191 Ave., opened in 2009 with four portables already on the property.

Council gives go-ahead to sewer work Work on the sewer systems near Peace Arch Hospital is expected to get underway this month, after White Rock city council voted to award the $297,000 contract at a special meeting Tuesday. The project – awarded to B&B Contracting – combines a new sanitary sewer system, required by a new Fraser Health building at Peace Arch Hospital, and a storm sewer line on Russell Avenue due for replacement.

According to a report to council, constructing the sewers side-byside in the same trench will save the city approximately $63,000. Coun. David Chesney expressed concern at Monday’s meeting about the two lines sharing a trench, asking if there was a risk of leakage between the two. Bob Ambardar, the city’s manager of engineering, told council the risk of leakage was minimal. “It’s quite common to have

sanitary and storm sewers in a common trench,” Ambardar said. “They are both gravity systems, so there’s not a lot of leakage and the joints are sealed.” The city also approved $87,00 work of sanitary sewer upsizing on Finlay Street, between Russell and Goggs. The total cost of both projects, including engineering, inspection and contingency costs, is $466,000. – Melissa Smalley

Surrey Food Bank estimates $2,000 worth of goods spoiled

Perishables lost in outage

No refrigeration, no lights, no phones, no access to the volunteer database – for four days. Marilyn Herrmann said she’s “frustrated as all hell” after the Surrey Food Bank (SFB) lost power in Saturday’s wind storm. Interviewed over the phone at her home Tuesday – where she was charging her cellphone – the executive director of the SFB said the North Surrey charity took a big hit after a tree next door took out a power pole on SFB property. Even after the pole was replaced by BC Hydro on Monday evening, the lines weren’t installed properly and just dangled on cars in the parking lot. By Tuesday, staff and volunteers were forced to throw away more than $2,000 worth of eggs, dairy and other perishable foods. Volunteer activity in the unlit warehouse has been kept to a minimum, and 165 clients who came in earlier in the week have been given the most basic of nonperishable foods. No one has been turned away yet. “What we can get to, we’re giving,” Herrmann said. The SFB serves 14,000 clients each month. She said one man who came for help this week was among dozens of new clients who lost their

editorial

Exceeding our limits

hether White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin likes it or not, it seems evident thus far that his interpretation of Metro Vancouver’s Regional Growth Strategy is his alone. Baldwin has rigorously and publicly averred that being signed on to Metro Vancouver’s Regional Growth Strategy means White Rock is legally bound to live up to its share of growth forecasts – an estimated one million more people in Metro Vancouver by the year 2041, for which White Rock would provide 4,000 dwelling units for some 7,000 of them. The problem is that few share his unwavering belief that RGS forecasts are legally binding – or that they came down from the mountain with Moses. Certainly not Metro Vancouver itself, whose senior regional planner Terry Hoff confirms that RGS forecasts are “guidelines” – not mandatory directives. Not residents, who are expressing a concern about a push for more high-density developments in the city – including highrises outside its town centre. Not the B.C. Supreme Court, which has ruled that Metro cannot dictate land-use management within a municipality. And not the councillor who chaired the meeting at which council members signed on to the RGS, and who remembers, too – like the city records that resulted – that the forecasts are intended as guidelines, not holy writ. Yet Baldwin has taken the extraordinary step of writing a letter to the editor of this paper last week to re-assert his interpretation of the RGS as “required by provincial law” – and then, in a followup email this week, to excoriate the aforementioned “dissenting” councillor, insisting that her recall of the meeting she chaired in 2011 is “opportunistic politically.” This is not the first rumbling we have heard of the mayor’s strong-willed approach, nor of the contempt he has displayed toward those with a “dissenting” view, who may simply disagree with him or remember things differently. Nobody is questioning that the RGS forecasts are evidence-based and that it is likely that even tiny, overbuilt White Rock – with a current population nearing 20,000 over 5.13 square kilometres – will have to bear some of the weight of a growing region and prepare for some growth. But it’s clear that an RGS presented as a guideline – rather than inviolable law – offers some room for negotiation and recognition of this seaside city’s unique and limiting characteristics. Had Baldwin had the facts on his side – even were he now willing to admit an honest mistake – his sticking to his guns on his interpretation might seem admirable. As it is, it suggests something else, entirely. Dwayne Weidendorf Publisher

before my eyes like it always did when somebody was about to die in the movies. On the other hand, I had hardly begun to live, so what could there possibly be of note in a newsreel of my all-too-brief life anyway – the shiny red wagon Santa Claus had brought me a couple of Christmases before, the scrumptious chocolate Mom made the previous week or the enchanting face of the cute little blonde-haired girl whom I had always admired from afar in the third grade? As it turned out, the only image that came to mind was that of my mother’s horrified look when she came out to find my lifeless body crumpled in the middle of the street. Much to my surprise and overwhelming relief, however, the ice finally started to slide down my throat and it appeared that I would survive after all. Of course, I never told my mother about any of this, because I was afraid of being banned from the ice-truck orgies for life. Although I don’t munch on ice while playing tag any more, the thing that worries me the most these days is trying to cross the street without getting killed by a speeding truck or stray lightning bolt from above. Which is why I always look three ways before crossing any street now – to the left, the right and straight up. Like my dear mom always said, “Better safe than sorry.” Jack Hartline is a retired newspaperman who lives in Crescent Beach.

Keep us posted on party lines Editor: Re: Mailboxes targeted again, Aug. 28. Your news article gave me pause to question who among the federal political parties supports the continuation of home delivery. This concerns me because the article states “damage to and theft from a pair of mailboxes near 26 Avenue” was reported on Aug. 17. The article further states that the RCMP didn’t even attend the scene. This is another worry to those of us threatened with the loss of home mail delivery. After writing to all the parties, my friend was answered by only the NDP. Their position is that an NDP government will cancel Canada Post’s controversial plan to eliminate door-to-door mail delivery and reinstate delivery in all communities affected by the cuts announced in December 2013. The other parties did not respond. Canada Post has been profitable since the mid-’90s and last year posted a profit of $200 million. They could handily increase their profits even while maintaining door-to-door delivery. When Canada Post finishes eliminating door-to-door service, Canada will be the only G7 country without any home mail delivery. Another riches-to-rags story. Can the Peace Arch News or any readers tell those of us who vote how the other political parties will direct Canada Post? Kathie Hill, Surrey

Legal ruling misinterpreted Editor: Re: Strata eviction delayed by judge, Aug. 28. The article wrongly implies the court has ordered a stay of a courtordered sale of my apartment. In fact, the court has not ordered the sale of my apartment. It has only ordered that the strata corporation conduct a meeting at which all owners will be able to vote for, or against, the continuation of the legal proceedings – an opportunity that was denied owners when the previous strata council commenced the petition on behalf of all owners in February 2013. The article’s statement that “(the court) dismissed Louis’s claim of a rights infringement, ruling that Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms only applies to government bodies” is also misleading. The court did not rule that my rights were not infringed. More accurately, the court ruled that the charter could not be invoked as a means of defending against rights that I had argued had been infringed – a finding that I will be appealing. (Editor’s note: In his reasons for judgment, Justice Trevor Armstrong wrote: “Mr. Louis’s claim that his charter rights have been infringed…

is dismissed. He later added: “I order that the strata petition be stayed until there has been a three-quarter vote at a meeting in favour of continuing the strata petition against the owners.”) The sections of the act that I am attempting to have struck down as

unconstitutional include several that enable strata corporations’ strata councils to disenfranchise owners and to launch court actions on behalf of all owners without first obtaining their approval. I will first be filing an application

for Justice Armstrong to clarify his Aug. 25 ruling so that it definitively indicates whether he has found that the sections of the strata property act I am attempting to have struck down are unconstitutional. Roderick V. Louis, White Rock

Day 1 after the storm… imagine Day 15 after the big one – a complete breakdown in society, civil disobedience.a Jas Purewal

Saturday’s windstorm brought down trees around the Lower Mainland – including these ones in North Surrey.

Time to think when left in dark Editor: I have only recently moved to White Rock and was one of the hundreds of thousands of residents across the Lower Mainland without power from the windstorm. Our power went out around noon Saturday, came on around 11 a.m. Sunday and, at 1 p.m., went out again. I saw the tweets congratulating BC Hydro for getting the power on. Really? I am seriously concerned at BC Hydro’s readiness in the face of even bigger disaster. Saturday’s windstorm, while powerful, was not nearly as bad as in other places I’ve lived, and I can’t remember in the last 16 years – other than the big eastern blackout of 2003 – where power was out more than an hour or two, let alone overnight. Instead of congratulating BC Hydro, we should all be very concerned and be demanding how BC Hydro would respond to a real disaster such as an earthquake. Meanwhile, I am definitely looking up generators. If this is all it takes to throw out the power now, I want something ready for a real storm! Alison Prentice, White Rock Q Welcome to another season of violent windstorms. The first arrived this past weekend, three months ahead of schedule, but with results predictably the same: major property damage, fallen trees everywhere, hundreds of businesses closed and extensive and extended power failures – in our neighbourhood for about 60 hours With the next storms this fall and winter, we can also expect school closures and discomfort to those infirm, elderly and reliant on electricity to start their furnace. It doesn’t have to be this way. We can’t do much about inclement weather, but we can certainly do a much better job of preparing ourselves for its consequences. Much of the problem, as we all know, is caused by fallen branches and toppled trees. Trees grow taller and older every year, but they don’t live forever. Newton’s law still applies, and what goes up must eventually come down. Surrey’s solution to power line rights-of-way is to cut tunnels through the tree canopy. The fact that a ton or more of branches may be left above the power line, just waiting for the next storm, is of no consequence. For their part, property owners are advised that any tree over 12-inch diameter but located more than one meter from the foundation cannot be cut down, no matter its height. In all this, Surrey city hall is contributing significantly to the problem as a result of its inane and inflexible tree bylaw. So here are a few suggestions: • Allow BC Hydro to do the sensible thing and remove all tall native trees adjacent to local power lines and replace them with species more appropriate and less brittle. • All tall native trees on rights-of-way adjacent to city streets should be replaced as above, the worst offenders being firs, cottonwoods, big leaf maples and alders.

• Give property owners a little slack and allow them to remove any tall tree they believe a danger to the safety of their loved ones and property. A recommended minimum safe distance from both house and incoming overhead power lines for a 30-meter tree might be perhaps 10 or 15 meters, but certainly more than three. Chris Hodgson, Surrey Q I had lots to think about during and after the storm on Saturday and the ensuing power outage. Fortunately, the power went out during the day and made the task of locating the flashlight and radio easier for use later. My girls took this opportunity to announce an impromptu games night. Great since none of our eBooks and iPads were fully charged anyway. After our cold pizza dinner, I ventured outside and almost every vehicle was emitting a white glow as a result of charging electronics. Obsessive compulsive behaviour? As Sunday morning rolled around, we were still without power and decide to hit McDonald’s for coffee. What preceded to greet us was a long line that continued outside complete with shoving and shouting. Day 1 after the storm… imagine Day 15 after the big one – a complete breakdown in society, civil disobedience. Images of a dystopian future came to mind, with hordes of gangs looting and preying on the weak. Too Hollywood? Maybe. No one likes to dwell on the harsh realities of a real emergency, but are you really prepared? This is a wake-up call. Let’s plan for the worst and not just hope for the best. Jas Purewal, Surrey Q Re: The laugh was on us, Sept. 2 editorial. I have been wanting to write Peace Arch News for some time, and after reading your editorial I had to respond. I am a summer resident of Ocean Park and a U.S. citizen. I have been amazed ever since coming to the Lower Mainland how many power outages have occurred during my time here. Not only do they create dangerous situations, they are unnecessary. The problem is not only acerbated by the overhead power and telephone lines, but the lines detract from the beauty of your province and are extremely dangerous if they are hanging freely. I remember in the early ’80s when my neighbourhood overhead lines in California were put underground; it took the power company just one day and a small hole in the ground to make our street a much lovelier and safer place to live. I read almost every week about the removal of trees for development and the love of residents for their trees. Why then are so many trees used to hold telephone and power lines, when those trees can be saved for future uses, not polluting our streets and the beauty of the environment? Michael B.

Father ‘proud’ of son for testifying i from page 1 The teen went on to tell the court that Antoniak grabbed his penis through the covers and groped it for “three or four seconds,” before he swiped the visitor’s hand away and yelled for his father. In cross-examination, defence counsel Alexander Ejsmont questioned the accuracy of the boy’s memory. He pointed to differences between what the boy told police a year ago – including that the reason he didn’t speak out right away was because he wasn’t sure if what happened was an accident – and what the court was hearing Wednesday.

“I just didn’t think he would do that type of thing,” the boy said, when asked to explain. Ejsmont, however, suggested the inconsistencies – which he said included differences in what the boy’s dad told police regarding his own reaction on the night in question, as well as if the accused spent time with the father and son after the incident – were because the incident “never happened.” “I’m suggesting the reason we can’t get our stories straight… is because Robert was never in your room and never came up to the bed.” Outside court, Ejsmont told

Peace Arch News he did not expect his client – who attended Wednesday’s proceedings with his stepfather – to testify. The boy’s father told PAN the following morning that he was “quite proud” of his son for taking the stand, and that his son told him after that he had no problem facing the accused. The father said his son knows it’s not OK to start a fight, but “he has my full permission to stand up for himself.” “He knows I’ve got his back,” he said. The proceedings were expected to wrap up Thursday, after PAN press time.

“Selling your lovely home can be a stressful chain of events. Technology and social media can be a bit intimidating. I prefer to do things the old fashion way. Let’s have coffee, discuss your real estate needs and plan a peaceful transition into your future endeavour.”

Police cordon off Grandview Corners Pharmasave after three robbers brandishing batons escaped.

Witnesses report switch to SUV i from page 1 While canvassing the area, investigators spoke with witnesses who reported seeing the car near 162 Street and 26 Avenue “immediately after” the robbery, Carr said. They told police two of three occupants got out of

the Grand Am and into a black SUV. Carr said while the detail appears to indicate planning on the part of perpetrators, it is unclear if more than the three initial culprits are involved. Investigators continue to can-

and Sunday to replace two fallen poles and their transformers, and string lines up. There was a long delay in getting power back to customers on our street, but it was at least partially due to problems in other areas. One of the least-remarked aspects of this outage was phone service. Those with Telus land lines were able to keep service, for the most part – unless lines had fallen. Those with Shaw land lines lost service. Cellphones were working at most times and in most areas, but not always. The high demand on the cellphone system did cause some temporary losses of service. What will happen if there is an earthquake? Will the cellphone service be even more affected by intensive use? The public needs clear answers on what is likely to happen in such a scenario. It is a certainty that there needs to be significantly more investment in cellphone infrastructure in Surrey, given the growth in population and expected future growth. The city’s tree policy may have contributed, in a small way, to some trees remaining standing until they blew down in Saturday’s windstorm. It needs to be easier to cut down trees that pose a risk to the electric, telephone and cable wires along most major streets. That includes trees on private property – not just those on road allowances. There are lessons to learn from this windstorm, and hopefully decision-makers are taking heed. There will be another disaster, and it may be even worse than this one. Frank Bucholtz writes Fridays for Peace Arch News. frank. bucholtz@gmail.com

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Terry Fox’s nurse, family friend shares stories of time with Canadian hero

‘He taught us the awesome power of one’ Melissa Smalley

Staff Reporter

hen Alison Ince treated a young man undergoing a leg amputation in 1977, she and the other nursing staff at Royal Columbian Hospital knew there was something special about him. “He was the kind of patient that stood out in your memory,” Ince, the hospital’s former associate director of nursing, told the White Rock Rotary club Tuesday. Ince, who turns 80 next week, shared her memories of Terry Fox, the young Port Coquitlam man who captured the world’s attention when he embarked on a cross-Canada run in 1980 to raise money and awareness for cancer research. Ince’s visit to the Semiahmoo Peninsula came 35 years to the day that Terry was forced to abandon his Marathon of Hope outside of Thunder Bay, Ont., when doctors discovered his cancer had spread to his lungs. Reflecting upon her time spent as Terry’s nurse, Ince, a Surrey resident, described him as stubborn, with a great sense of humour, an enormous sense of family and a penchant for modesty. “He never considered himself special, or that what he did was extraordinary,” Ince said. In early 1980, when Ince first learned about Terry’s ambitious plan to run across the country, she was not overly surprised. “We all thought if anyone could do it, he could,” she said. She and the rest of the staff at RCH followed his progress closely, rooting him on, like millions of others across Canada. Upon hearing the devastating news that his cancer had returned 143 days and 5,373 kilometers into his trek, Ince said she reacted in a way that was “typical of the medical and nursing staff.” “I said a very rude word, which I will not repeat, and I burst into tears,” she recalled. Terry flew home from Ontario and was immediately admitted to RCH, where Ince now held the position of deputy director of

Autumn Tips to Help Storm Water Drain After last weekend, we’ve definitely changed seasons! Here are a few tips that you can do around your property to help storm water drain this fall. • Clean your foundation drains so that the rain water collected from your house and property can be directed out to the City storm sewer.These drains are pipes and can become blocked by such things as leaves, pine needles, silt, dirt or roots. • Clear street gutters and catch basins of leaves, garbage, other debris, or snow to help prevent flooding in your neighbourhood. • If you have an open ditch along your property, it is important to check that the ditch and culverts are clear to ensure proper drainage of storm water. • If your down pipes from your house are connected to a hole near the house foundation, your down pipes are likely connected to your perimeter drains. These down pipes take rainfall from your roof gutters to the perimeter drains around your house foundation. This may cause excessive flow to your foundation drains and result in flooding of your house. To prevent this, direct your home’s down pipes onto splash pads. This allows rainfall from your roof to soak into your lawn and garden.

BRING IN THIS COUPON FOR A

White Rock’s Paige Glazier – founder of Team Orange, a nationally and internationally noted program to encourage positive social interaction among elementary school children – has added another feather to her cap. Glazier, 20, has won the Social Action category of Canadian Living’s ‘Me To We’ awards, including featured coverage in the magazine’s current edition. As well as a commemorative award, she will also receive a $1,000 donation to the registered Canadian charity of her choice. The awards recognize young people who have “addressed the root causes of social, environmental, economic or political issues and, in doing so (have) made Canada a better place.” The former White Rock Youth Ambassador and B.C. Ambassador hopeful, who became motivated to address issues of exclusion, bullying and ostracization by her own experiences in high school, has said the award will boost visibility for her newlyrebranded organization.

White Rock’s newest centenarian celebrated his milestone birthday last week surrounded by family and friends. Tom Irwin turned 100 Aug. 26, at his home at White Rock Seniors Village, where well-wishers gathered to wish the longtime resident a happy birthday. Irwin, an avid chess and bridge player, has lived in the retirement community (formerly known as Christina Place) longer than any other resident. During his time at the Maple Street residence, he created a poetry club, where he recites poems from his youth by heart. Prior to moving to White Rock, Irwin was a 40-year veteran of the

post office in Vancouver, before retiring at the age of 59. A huge fan of soccer, Irwin followed the Vancouver Whitecaps as far as Mexico and New York in the 1970s to cheer on his hometown team. He also had a penchant for winning newspaper contests, and racked up numerous winnings – including a speedboat, a car and money – before being banned from entering with the local daily papers because he won so frequently. Irwin’s birthday celebration saw more than 50 guests mingle and peruse old photographs; the guest of honour also recited four poems, including In Flanders Field, and told a few jokes to the delight of party attendees. – Melissa Smalley

Local cadet takes on West Coast Challenge Surrey cadet Clayton Sun ended his summer with a splash as one of just 16 B.C. army cadets chosen to participate in the 2015 Regional Cadet Expedition. The nine-day expedition consisted of two days of biking on Vancouver Island and four days of lake and ocean kayaking in the Gulf Islands. The cadets were also given the chance to hone their skills in planning a route, map-reading, navigation, bike-maintenance, using a GPS, low-impact camping and ways to promote environmental stewardship. As well, each took a turn as team leader. All army cadets participate in

expeditions appropriate to their training; high-performing cadets are chosen for regional, national and international levels. Sun, who starts Grade 11 at Semiahmoo Secondary this fall, has been with 1867 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps (Seaforth Highlanders) for four years and plans to put the skills and experiences from Expedition to work teaching younger cadets. “Through the cadet program I have made friends, gotten fit and raised my confidence levels,” he said in a release. “The cadet program is like a second family and is full of experiences you can’t get anywhere else.”

As I have discussed in a previous column, the issue of selecting majors is also an important decision, and students should try to take a variety of courses to see which subjects they are most passionate about. Furthermore, scholarships and bursaries are also available, and students should make note of the eligibility criteria. The first month of school is a great time to explore new clubs and activities to join. Involvement in such clubs or student groups can help create a balanced school experience, allow you to meet other likeminded individuals.

It is an old tradition celebrating the contribution of workers, taking place every year on the first Monday in September. This long weekend is looked forward to by all with great anticipation.

Children ask for nothing more than to go to the park to play a game of soccer or take advantage of the water park. If you have the opportunity to take advantage of the walking trails in Sunnyside Acres or climb the hill up from the beach, you won't regret your choice.

At the sun's rays are often still warm and enticing at this time of year, Labour Day is a perfect occasion to relax outside and invite family and friends to spend a beautiful day around the pool or at the beach.

The combination of food, relaxation and a bit of physical exercise is sure to make Labour Day unforgettable.

You could also make good use of your barbeque, knoing that very soon you'llhave to put it in the garage. What could be better than a mix of pool or beach, refreshing drinks and a barbeque to finish the summer?

However, spare a thought for the thousands of workers who came before us and who fought for the working conditions we know today.

After a relaxing start to the day, it cold also be fun to get some exercise in the fresh air because, very soon, outdoor playing fields may no longer be accessible.

In short, Labour Day is a major yearly event and we should mark it in some way.

It's important to recognize both the significance and the history of Labour Day which is about far more than backyard barbeques and the last of the summer jaunts to the beach.

Family business embraces the importance of ‘Give where you live’

r. and Mrs. Manjit Atwal wanted a better life for themselves. They made the difficult decision to leave their home and families in India and cross the world to Canada to find it. Upon arrival, Manjit enrolled at BCIT to pursue his welding diploma. Unfortunately, once he completed his program, the Canadian market crashed, and the jobs he had hoped to secure were no longer available. To support his family, Manjit took a job with a roofing company and became a roofing

technician. With hard work and dedication, he was able to open his own roofing company in 1996, Atwal’s Enterprises, based in Surrey. Hard work, dedication, and a commitment to quality service helped to secure large contracts throughout Surrey and ensured the success of his enterprise. While her husband worked diligently building a successful company, Raghbir Atwal made the decision to return to school for a typing class to improve her skills as she sought employment. Her teachers also owned an insurance office. They took an interest in Raghbir and encouraged her to complete her own insurance license. After completing her exams, she opened her first insurance office in 2000 in Surrey. As part of her success, she has expanded into Abbotsford.

Don Hickling, who raises funds for the Surrey Hospital & Outpatient Centre Foundation, first met the Atwals last fall and began speaking about some of some of the needs in the hospital. In particular, Hickling mentioned that the physiotherapy team was in urgent need of a LiteGait machine. Right then and there, the Atwals decided they would buy the equipment. This was fantastic news for the physiotherapy team as the LiteGait helps support a patient’s weight as they undergo rehabilitation therapy. The LiteGait helps patients get back on their feet much sooner – which is an important step on their road to recovery – by providing the tools and confidence as they learn to walk again. It also relieves the physical stress on the physio team and allows for only one team member to be present with the patient instead of two. This frees up staff for other patients. “The one thought that’s always front of mind for us is ‘what can we do to help other people?’ ” says Raghbir. “It’s not money alone that can help people – it’s how you use it and who you trust to steward it wisely that matters. It’s a team effort that makes a difference in other people’s lives.” The Atwals are grateful to Surrey Memorial Hospital as their parents have received excellent care.

Coming from India, the Atwals are very aware that many countries are not as fortunate as Canada to have the privilege of universal health care. They are grateful to have all three of their children born at Surrey Memorial Hospital as well. In some countries, money doesn’t even guarantee good care. Surrey Memorial Hospital is a community-based hospital and it can only improve with help from the community who use it.

“The Atwals epitomize community spirit. Through their business, the create jobs and prospects and though their giving they provide hope and comfort for people suffering with diseases and illness.” Jane Adams – President, Surrey Hospital and Outpatient Centre Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation

hen it comes to music, Ava Carich is a perfectionist. “I’m very picky,” is the way the 17-year-old Peninsula singersongwriter puts it. Her mom, local artist Meghan, recognizes that side of her – not readily apparent from her quiet demeanour. “She knows exactly what she wants,” she says. “And she’s not afraid to let people know it.” Emerging from a difficult childhood – including family issues that led to long spells of depression – Carich, of Coast Salish descent, has somehow found a way to express herself and her emotions authentically, with her own uniquely cool-yetbluesy vocal sound and guitar accompaniment.

And she knows she’s going to have to be patient and rest her voice for a few weeks following an imminent tonsillectomy.

“Even though I can’t sing, I can hear it in my mind.” Not the least of the attention that Carich has drawn has been for original songs like Player and Haunted. There are a lot more in the works, but Carich is adamant that she won’t let anyone outside the immediate family hear a song until she considers it properly polished. She notes that she works very hard crafting a song, from working out a chord sequence and perfecting the tune even before she attempts to fit lyrics to it. “I like to have a finished melody,” she says. “I wish I could be like some of these people who can have a song completely done in four hours, but it doesn’t work that way for me.” And Meghan knows full well her daughter won’t be rushed to complete a song. “I tell her ‘keep on working on that song’ – but it has to come when she’s ready.”

Dracula on stage at Surrey Arts Centre next month

New approach to haunting Halloween classic Alex Browne Arts Reporter

The original vampire thriller, Dracula, is back and bat-winging its way to Surrey – as well as venues in Vancouver and Maple Ridge – this fall. The shape-shifting Count is scheduled to alight at Surrey Arts Centre as a pre-Halloween treat Oct. 8-10, followed by runs at Vancouver’s Metro Theatre (Oct. 14-24) and at the ACT, Maple Ridge (Oct. 27-31). For this production Ellie King, artistic director of Royal Canadian Theatre Company, has dusted off the 1927 John BalderstonHamilton Deane stage version of Bram Stoker’s famed gothic novel. It was this play, it should be noted, that brought Hungarian actor Bela Lugosi to wide public attention, and won him a Hollywood career – not to mention the curse of eternal typecasting, and endless imitations of his unforgettable accent. (In the interests of full disclosure, I should also note that both King and this writer also appeared as actors in a White Rock Players Club revival of the same script –

Contributed photo

Dracula will be on stage at the Surrey Arts Centre next month, followed by dates around Metro Vancouver. more years ago than either of us care to remember). But in once again reanimating the transformational Transylvanian (played

in this production by Kurtis Maguire), the everimaginative King, well known for her thrillers, farces and pantos, is not simply resting on past laurels

or interpretations – she’s offering audiences some fascinating new twists. Not only has the show been set in a “Steampunk universe” – which suggests all kinds of possibilities for stage and costume design – but Dracula’s old nemesis, the vampire expert Dr. Abraham Van Helsing, has been reincarnated as the beautiful, and equally mysterious, ‘Dr. Anna Van Helsing’ (Kathryn Stewart). Her presence, King is betting, will add a whole other dimension to the vampire’s struggle to conquer innocent Lucy (Elyse Maloway), fiance of Jonathan Harker (Surrey’s Adam Olgui) and daughter of Dr. Seward (Paul Fisher) who presides over a sanitarium in the English countryside. “If you look at the original Dracula story by Stoker, it has a lot to do with sexual repression in the Victorian era,” King said. “But it tends to be onesided – Dracula interacting with, and preying on, young women. I wondered how it would be if he were to meet a strong woman who is comfortable in her own

sexuality. “The scales are more evenly weighted now. Anna Van Helsing is a very strong, mature woman, and in strength of character, at least, she is Dracula’s equal – and there is also the possibility of some sexual tension between them.” King said her interpretation is being helped by the women she has cast as leads. Stewart’s “commanding stage presence” brings out all the possibilities of Van Helsing, she said, while Maloway is able to balance a depiction of the typical ‘Victorian shrinking heroine’ with a growing sense that Lucy is being affected by the pull of dark urges. “Elyse is very good – she can turn on a dime,” she said. Maguire is also strong as the title character, she said. “He’s done a lot of regional theatre and he’s a really good Dracula – he manages to be menacingly charming. He gets that Dracula is a chameleon who assumes an outward identity to attract victims – he will appear to be whatever people want him to be.”

Also cast are Aaron Paul Stewart as Dracula’s maniacal helper Renfield, with Hannah Williams and Jamie O’Neill supplying comedy relief as the superstitious maid Miss Wells and sanitarium attendant Butterworth. King notes that, at a time when other regional theatre groups are going through a period of contraction and regrouping as a result of dwindling box-office returns, RCTC is actually finding it beneficial to present a three-show subscription season. In addition to Dracula, the current season also includes the traditional pantomime Puss In Boots and the farce Love, Sex and the I.R.S. in March – all of which will will be at Surrey Arts Centre. Dracula runs at Surrey Arts Centre (13750 88 Ave.) from Thursday Oct. 8 to Saturday, Oct. 10 at 8 p.m. – with a matinee Saturday (Oct. 10) at 4 p.m. Tickets are available online at tickets.surrey.ca or by phone at 604-501-5566.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Skeleton athlete has Olympic aspirations

On the fast track to gold Melissa Smalley

Staff Reporter

hile most teens around the Semiahmoo Peninsula are soaking up their last few days of summer vacation, Holden Kitteridge has bigger things on his mind. The 15-year-old Earl Marriott Secondary student is just over a month away from boarding a plane to Lake Placid, NY, where he’ll begin an intense training regime with the hopes of qualifying for the 2016 Youth Olympic Games in Lillehammer. His sport of choice? Skeleton. “My friends, didn’t believe me at first. They thought I was joking around,” Kitteridge said, recalling the first time he told his peers about his new hobby. He first took notice of the sport in 2010, when he watched Manitoba native Jon Montgomery – now host of reality show Amazing Race Canada – win the gold medal in skeleton in Whistler. “I saw him win by just a few hundredths of a second,” Kitteridge said. “I saw how fast they went and how much fun it looked like and thought to myself, I want to do that.” His interest in the sport was once again piqued during the Russian Winter Olympics last year, prompting Kitteridge to do some research. He discovered a camp in Whistler introducing youth to the sport, and finally got a chance to try out the track last November. “I was instantly hooked,” he said. Reaching speeds of up to 140 km/h, barrelling head-first mere inches above the ice, Kitteridge said the feeling of skeleton is almost indescribable. “All you can hear is your sled gliding against the ice, your own heartbeat and sometimes the wind. Nothing else,” he said. A self-confessed adrenaline junkie, Kitteridge said that he has sought out the fastest rides at Playland and the steepest hills on his bike ever since childhood. His legs are covered in

scars from his various injuries over the years, and he said he came home with new scrapes and bruises “on a weekly basis” when he was a kid. Although he anticipates plenty of bumps and bruises on the track in the coming months, he pointed out that skeleton is actually the safest of the three ice-track sports. “You can see where you’re going, unlike luge, and you can control where you’re going, too, by steering,” he said. Kitteridge admits that his parents had some hesitations when he first shared his ambitions, but have offered nothing but support to help him on his way. The only hitch for the South Surrey teen on the road to the Youth Olympics is the cost of his training and qualifying efforts. After Lake Placid, he will spend a few weeks in Calgary before heading to Austria for further training and competition. He will be gone until early December, and the bill of his trip is expected to be around $18,000, including ice fees, airfare, hotel, food, transportation, coaching and gear. Kitteridge has set up a fundraising website – gofundme.com/ holdenkitteridge – for anyone who is able to help with the expenses, and said his mom is planning a pub night in the coming weeks, details of which will be updated online. He said the thought of travelling the world pursuing his dream is exciting, but also nerve-wracking, especially when he thinks about being away from his family. “It’s going to be different without them,” he said. “I’ve never been away from my family for that length of time.” Qualifying for the Youth Olympics, however, will make it all worthwhile, he said. “Being a part of Team Canada and representing our country all across the world, it’s exciting,” he said. “To know that thousands of people will be cheering you on, it’s amazing. It’s exhilarating.”

Major midget league squad looks ahead to coming season

PUBLIC NOTICE

Rick Kupchuk Black Press

The Valley West Hawks will ice one of the oldest rosters in the BC Hockey Major Midget League (MML), which has head coach Jessie Leung “super excited” about the upcoming season. The Hawks expect to have eight 17 year-olds in their lineup when their regular season begins Sept. 19 in Prince George, an unusually high number. “We’re older than we’ve ever been,” said Leung, who coached the Hawks to an 18-14-8 (wonloss-tied) record and a sixthplace finish last season. We have players who understand the league and the demands of playing in it. “We have lofty goals this season.” The Hawks are comprised of elite 15-17 year-old players from the Surrey, Semiahmoo, Cloverdale and North Delta Minor Hockey Associations. The Hawks best season was in 2103-14, when they placed third with a 27-11-2 mark. Valley West could have as many as three of their top five goal scorers from last season returning, along with a pair of defencemen and a goaltender. All are among the group of 17 year-olds which will provide plenty of leadership over the

Jeffrey Stewart may again suit up for the Valley West Hawks. course of the 40-game regular season. Christian Bosa (23 goals) and Ben Evanish of White Rock (15 goals) will be in the Hawks lineup again this season. Jeff Stewart, who was second in team goal-scoring with 22 a year ago, may also rejoin the team. He is currently in the preseason camp of the BC Hockey League’s Surrey Eagles. Forward Justin De Vos, who had 10 points in 36 games played, defencemen Brad Stonnell and Ian Ross, and goalie Nic Tallarico are the other returning players. But as excited as Leung is with B E S T

the returnees, he’s enthused about his group of 15 year-olds who will be making the jump to major midget from the bantam (13-14) ranks. Leading the list of rookie’s is Luka Burzan, selected sixth overall in last spring’s Western Hockey League Bantam Draft. Burzan played for the North Shore Winter Club (NSWC) last season. A six-foot, 165-pound forward, Burzan ranked second in scoring at the Western Canada Bantam Championship in Winnipeg with 10 points (four goals, six assists) in five games played. The NSWC Winter Hawks went 3-1-1 (wonlost-tied) to win the championship. “I’m excited about our 15 yearolds,” said Leung. “They are all impact players.” Other notable 15 year-olds include defenceman Kabir Gill, a teammate of Burzan’s with North Shore, and forwards Ilijah Colina and Michael Farren. Colina captained the Burnaby Winter Club team last season, while Farren comes to the Hawks from Semiahmoo minor hockey. “I like the talent we have,” said Leung. “We’ll be pretty deep. A player we’ll have as our numberthree centre, I would be comfortable with him as our numberone.”

The City of Surrey is now accepting applications for 2016 financial grants from non-profit groups or organizations. What kinds of organizations are eligible? Organizations will normally be expected to: • Have an active governing body composed of volunteers, with paid staff excluded from voting membership; • Have stable, ongoing financial support; and • Extend their service to the general public in Surrey, not excluding anyone by reason of race, religion or ethnic background. Who chooses the successful grant applications? City Council has established a City Grants Evaluation Committee, to review all applications and make recommendations on grant payment priorities. The final decision on all grant applications is made by City Council. The Grants Evaluation Committee will review and recommend grant payments based on the following criteria: • The need for the project, the number of residents benefiting from the grant and the value to the community; • The absence of identifiable or competing services, programs or facilities in the community; • The cost per resident, funding sources and financial stability of the organization; • The effectiveness and quality of the proposed program, project or event; • The history of the organization, including past services and programs; and • The suitability for one-time only funding for specific programs, capital projects or special events. Grants will not normally be recommended for travel, operating deficits, or services that are the responsibility of other levels of government. Any organization which receives a grant should not view the grant as an automatic source of funding in the following years. An evaluation of the use of the Surrey grant must be submitted at the end of the program, project or event. When is the deadline for grant applications: All grants requests must be submitted on an official application form and received at the office of the City Clerk not later than 4:30 p.m., September 30, 2015. Application forms and additional information may be obtained by contacting: City of Surrey, Office of the City Clerk 13450 – 104 Avenue, Surrey, B.C.

A small contraction of Canada’s economy in the first half of the year put the country in a technical recession, which may already be over if an uptick in June wasn’t a blip. But a leading B.C. economist doesn’t believe the ‘R’ word applies to B.C., or to most of the country for that matter. “I don’t believe Canada is in an official recession,” said

Helmut Pastrick, chief economist for Central 1 Credit Union. “This situation is not really indicative of what most economists would consider a full-fledged recession.” He said the downturn is a narrow one focused mainly on the energy sector, hitting Alberta hard as producers slash capital spending following the plunge in oil prices. Statistics Canada reported a 0.5 per cent drop in GDP in the

second quarter, folmining-dependent lowing a 0.8 per cent communities hit after decline in the first metallurgical coal firms quarter. cut production.

As for whether the term recession should apply to the country as a whole, Pastrick said he leaves that to a panel of economists at the C.D. Howe Institute, who assess factors including the depth of the downturn, its duration and breadth across multiple industries, and not strictly the rule of thumb regarding two quarters of shrinkage. The expected confirmation of a recession and what to do about it has been an issue in the federal election campaign, with the Liberals pledging aggressive stimulus spending and deficits, in contrast to Conservative and NDP promises to balance the budget.

Boulevard trees need your help to get water during hot and dry times. If your boulevard tree is less than 15 feet tall (that’s about twice the height of your front door) please water it regularly.

During Stage 3 Water Restrictions you are permitted to water boulevard trees with hand-held, spring-loaded shut-off nozzles. Water twice a week for 15 minutes with a slow stream of water (that’s about 20 litres of water) to ensure it soaks into the ground.

Water use restrictions may soon be relaxed

Rain helps fill reservoirs Jeff Nagel Black Press

Boaz Joseph photo

The storm last weekend caused major power outages across the Lower Mainland, but also helped to fill the water reservoirs. satto said. “We’re still asking people to conserve.” He said Metro engineering staff are watching the water levels and a decision on whether to scale back to stage 2 could come later this week or early next week. Mussatto credited Metro residents and businesses for following Metro restrictions and helping conserve the supply. Stage 3 restrictions were imposed July 20 in an attempt to keep daily water use to no more than 1.2 billion litres per day after more lenient restrictions failed to slow a swift decline in the regional water supply. Engi-

neers had forecast the stage 3 limits would retain enough water even if no rain fell until November. One challenge from the deluge is that water turbidity or cloudiness was up significantly in the Capilano and Seymour watersheds from all the sediment stirred up by the rain. Mussatto said Metro’s new $800-million water filtration plant there was able to deal with the increase. He said water in the Coquitlam reservoir also had some turbidity but was well below acceptable limits.

Last weekend’s destructive storm that cut power to many homes also helped refill Metro Vancouver’s drinking water reservoirs. The available water supply actually increased to 60 per cent of the reservoirs’ capacity as of Sept. 1 from 55 per cent the week before. The jump puts the regional district back in its “normal” range of reservoir levels after running at record lows through July and August. The five per cent increase, or about 14 billion litres, was the equivalent of 5,600 Olympic swimming pools of water falling into the reservoirs. The storm dropped more than 100 millimetres of rain on parts of the North Shore and rain continued to fall after the Tuesday’s weekly measurement. The wet weather sets the stage for a possible relaxation of Metro Vancouver water restrictions from stage 3 to stage 2 – allowing a resumption of once-a-week lawn sprinkling, refilling of pools and other activities that had been banned for several weeks. “We’re not going to keep it at stage 3 unless we need to be there,” Metro Vancouver utilities committee chair Darrell Mus-
