Langley man, 42 not previously known to police

Arrest in ‘repulsive’ attack on senior A Langley man was arrested Friday in connection with a brutal assault of a South Surrey senior in her own home last month. Surrey RCMP are recommending several charges, including aggravated sexual assault, forcible confinement, break-and-enter, robbery with a firearm and disguise with intent. According to a news release issued Friday evening, the accused is not previously known to police.

Stephen Thomas Morse, 42, was to appear before Judicial Justice of the Peace in Surrey RCMP cells. “On behalf of the Surrey RCMP I would like to thank the victim, her family, and the entire community for their tremendous support and assistance in advancing this investigation,” Chief Supt. Bill Fordy, said in the release. “This type of crime is repulsive and I’d like to also acknowledge the men and

women that work at this detachment who worked relentlessly to advance this important investigation.” The “incomprehensible” incident occurred in a Grandview-area home Aug. 12, when a man entered the residence, presented a weapon and restrained the 70-year-old resident. The intruder demanded cash and other items, but when the woman wouldn’t com-

ply, he physically and sexually assaulted her, causing significant injuries, then fled. Police issued a warning to the community early the next morning, followed by photos of a suspect 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.” i see page 2

A shed suspected of housing a drug lab went up in flames on a rural property across the street from Morgan Creek homes Monday morning.

Suspected drug fire spurs evacuation Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

South Surrey residents and farm workers were evacuated Monday morning after a suspected drug lab just north of Morgan Creek residential area went up in flames. Surrey RCMP’s Drug Section Unit, Surrey Fire Services and the ‘E’ Division Clandestine Laboratory Enforcement and Response Team were on the scene in the 15700-block of 40 Avenue for more than 24 hours, after a blaze was reported shortly after 9 a.m. Monday.

Acting RCMP Insp. Keith Bramhill told Peace Arch News a shed on the rural property was fully engulfed in flames when RCMP arrived. When the fire was contained, Bramhill said, chemicals consistent with a drug lab were found on the property, and the area was cordoned off. No injuries were reported as a result of the blaze and no one was found in any of the buildings on the property, Bramhill said. “There is evidence from the Surrey Fire Department that there are clandestine materi-

als and cooking materials on the premises that are extremely hazardous,” Bramhill said, noting adjacent residents and farm workers had been evacuated as a safety precaution. By mid-afternoon Monday, firefighters were still working to fully extinguish the flame, which Bramhill said had “reignited itself ” at least two times. Traffic along 40 Avenue was blocked for several hours between 156 and 160 streets. Early Tuesday morning, the RCMP’s portable ‘clandestine lab’ was still on scene.

A man accused of groping a 12-year-old White Rock boy has been acquitted of all charges in connection with the February 2014 incident. Alex Ejsmont – who defended Robert James Antoniak – shared the ruling with Peace Arch News shortly after the court proceedings wrapped up Thursday afternoon. “My client waited a year of his life to have his day in court,” Ejsmont said by email. “Thankfully justice was served.” Prosecutor Adam Jantunen said Judge Melissa Gillespie made the decision after finding that Crown “had not proven the offences charged beyond a reasonable doubt.” She cited “inconsistencies between the complainant’s evidence in court and his statements to police,” Jantunen said. Antoniak was charged after the boy, who is now 14, alleged his “private parts” were groped through a blanket by a visitor at his White Rock home. The boy’s father told PAN Friday morning that he was “really disappointed” with the verdict. “I don’t know how I’m going to tell (my son).” – Tracy Holmes

A stay of proceedings on the more serious charges essentially halts prosecution – without a finding of guilt or innocence – for up to a year. If no further action is taken within that time, the related proceedings are considered to have never happened. Wednesday’s proceedings were initially scheduled as a two-day trial. In addition to the one-year probation, Blake was ordered to pay a victimfine surcharge of $100 in connection with a charge of breaching conditions.

Earl Marriott situation ‘beyond belief,’ says Surrey trustee

Schools await additions to ease crowds Sheila Reynolds Black Press

There may not be any new classroom space ready as the school year begins this week, yet students – especially younger ones – continue to flow into Surrey schools. Early projections have the Surrey School District growing by approximately 285 students this year. While the number of elementary school children is rising rapidly – up 410 – the number of high school students is decreasing by about 125 from last year. Despite steady growth, there is no new school space opening this fall in Surrey – the largest B.C. district with about 69,000 students. However, there are some school additions in the works in areas with rapid housing

development and school overcrowding. Rosemary Heights Elementary in South Surrey, which has seven portables on site, should start to see a two-classroom addition begin to take shape later this month, as should nearby Morgan Elementary. It’s hoped the extra space at both schools can be occupied early in the new year. Adams Road Elementary, in the fast-growing Clayton neighbourhood, is in the midst of construction of a 10-classroom addition that’s slated for a spring 2016 opening. There are 13 portables at Adams Road, though some are needed because of the construction. Ground has yet to be broken for a muchneeded high school in the Clayton North area, but it’s hoped the project will go to tender in

October. A high school takes about high school there that would take two years to build, however, leaving the pressure off Earl Marriott SecLord Tweedsmuir (LT) Secondary ondary. and nearby Clayton Heights Sec“The Earl Marriott crowding is ondary continuing to operate under beyond belief,” said Shawn Wilson, severe space constraints.

Water sale signed for city, Epcor The City of White Rock and Epcor have reached an agreement on the purchase of the city’s water utility. “We heard from the citizens of White Rock that owning our water utility was important. This is the largest project undertaken by the City of White Rock and I am pleased that we have signed the agreement and are taking the next steps to move forward,” Mayor Wayne Baldwin said in a news release issued Friday afternoon. The news comes two months after city officials announced plans to expropriate the system from Edmonton-based Epcor, citing at that time a view to acquire title by Sept. 30. The purchase price was not disclosed in Friday’s statement – which noted the purchase is subject to “customary conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals.” However, at the June council meeting where the expropriation plan was announced, director of financial services Sandra Kurylo estimated the cost at $23 million. The sum, she explained, includes the cost of completing Epcor’s total water quality management project, which includes chlorination of the system by June 2016. Baldwin had previously described talks with Epcor as “not going well.” “Enough is enough. We’ve got to do something now,” he told residents who turned out to a June meeting to hear an update on the process. City manager Dan Bottrill later told Peace Arch News that expropriation of assets for municipal purposes is one of the city’s statutory rights, and the quickest route to acquiring the utility. In Friday’s release, Epcor’s senior vice-president, John Elford said Epcor respects the city’s interest in owning the utility, and will continue to provide “reliable water services to the community at least until the completion of the sale.” – Tracy Holmes

A planned announcement on federal funding for rapid transit in Surrey was derailed Thursday, as Prime Minister Stephen Harper re-purposed his stop in the city to comment further on the Syrian refugee crisis. In his first visit to Surrey since the election campaign began, Harper had been expected to promise federal money for lightrail transit – a move designed to bolster Conservative support in the city, which has already seen campaign visits from NDP Leader Tom Mulcair and Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau.

Vancouver resident wore T-shirt with drowned toddler’s photo

Activist arrested at PM’s Surrey stop Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A climate-change activist who made headlines in January 2014 after getting within inches of Prime Minister Stephen Harper with a ‘Climate Justice Now’ placard during a Vancouver visit returned to the spotlight Thursday when Harper visited Surrey – this time in a T-shirt referencing a drowned three-year-old Syrian refugee. The man – who has not been charged, but who has identified himself as Vancouver resident Sean Devlin – was arrested for obstruction after refusing to leave the Newton warehouse where Harper’s visit was staged. “They managed to arrest me just before he came in,” Devlin told Peace Arch News Friday. Sean Devlin Devlin said he had attended the arrested event – uninvited and wearing a T-shirt bearing the words ‘Aylan should be here’ – in the hopes of asking Harper “to acknowledge his role in that boy’s death.” A photo of toddler Alan Kurdi lying dead on the shores of Turkey sparked international outcry over the Syrian refugee crisis. Kurdi’s family – his older brother and mother also drowned – had reportedly intended to seek asylum in Canada. Devlin said when he showed up at the highsecurity event in Surrey, he had no trouble gaining entry and was initially asked to stand behind the

podium where Harper would be speaking, to add “some younger faces” to the backdrop. He was asked to leave about 20 minutes later, when he took off his blazer; he was arrested and removed when he refused. “It seems once they noticed my shirt, they didn’t want me in the photo anymore,” he said. Devlin described the request to leave as “unfair… when I had been invited on-stage.” He said he was treated “pretty roughly” during the arrest, but has no plans to file a complaint against those involved. Devlin was held at Surrey RCMP cells for “a few hours.” RCMP E Division communications manager Brigitte Mineault did not identify Devlin as the person arrested, but said by email Friday that an individual was taken into custody after he “was recognized by one of our members from a previous incident.” She did not elaborate on that incident. Asked for more information, Mineault said the individual was asked to leave “because he was not an invited guest,” and was arrested for obstruction “after refusing to leave the venue and actively resisting to be removed from the stage where he was positioned.” Investigation is ongoing, Mineault said. Devlin said despite not getting to address Harper, he feels he got his message across. The incident, he said, “kind of highlights the lengths to which this government will go to refuse to admit they could be handling this (refugee) situation differently.”

Conspicuous absences

hite Rock’s political leaders are being offered opportunities more and more frequently to hear from those who elected them. As part of the burgeoning development proposals for the small city, proponents are asked to host public-information meetings to present and discuss their projects to their would-be neighbours. And, in recent months, the public is doing their part, attending in droves. Yet conspicuous by their absences are several members of council, who clearly could learn a thing or two about residents’ views. No matter what reasons or rationalizations these members have for missing individual meetings, a pattern has become evident mere months into their long four-year term. And that pattern seems to break the compact they entered into with voters when they were elected last November. We are talking about the opportunity to meet with voters face-to-face and hear their concerns, their fears and, yes, even their anger. We are talking about the opportunity to start a conversation – no matter how difficult – that might, eventually, lead to mutual understanding on the need to balance our priorities for the future and our responsibilities for the present. This, we dare to suggest, is the role of council members in a community; indeed politicians at all levels of government. In this day and age, in which soundbites and social-media posts seem to define our ‘reality’, we have seen increased reliance on a political concept that has actually been around for a long time – the notion of government by photo-op, geared only to keeping up appearances. We have seen, too, what an easy road this is for elected officials to take. But the fact is that our representatives were not elected simply for the fun stuff, the feel-good stuff. With the public question period at White Rock council meetings now a matter of history, there are few remaining toe-in-the-water opportunities for such direct feedback. People can make appointments for future delegations to council, it’s true, but that is a vehicle only for another speech – not a dialogue. And that’s why attending public meetings is so important. Unless council members henceforth plan to govern by edict only, there is one appearance that must be preserved – and that is the appearance of being genuinely concerned. That is, assuming city council members still want to represent the opinions of the people who elected them.

worst power outage in the Fraser Valley. In a semi-rural area with little backup grid capacity (since greatly improved), my family went three days without power. This was in winter, due to wind and freezing rain followed by snow and cold. Trickles of water kept pipes from freezing, and the gas stove provided a bit of heat. I heard no complaints about the crews struggling around the clock with the dangerous job of repair. Media coverage was mostly adult supervised. Megastorm madness isn’t an isolated case. A couple of weeks before that, a temporary construction bump on the Lion’s Gate Bridge deck caused panic and rage. Aggravated by a couple of accidents on the alternate route, and fed by hysterical media, drivers of West Van luxury cars were white-knuckled. Traffic choked the region that recently declined to pay a bit more for road improvements. In both cases, people outside Lotus Land were muttering: Welcome to our world. This is pertinent to the federal election. Are you competent to save for your retirement with RRSPs and a tax-free savings account, or do you need the government to do it for you, by force? Are you capable of managing your own child care, or should the nanny state create a hugely subsidized system, which has already failed in Quebec, from coast to coast? Are you ready for the day when the machine stops? Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Peace Arch News

Don’t blame First Nations Editor: Re: Band members disheartened by pay, Aug. 19. There has been much strong criticism of the salaries paid last year to Chief Willard Cook and councillor Joanne Charles of the Semiahmoo First Nation. There has not been enough information published for such strong criticism to be valid. The band reportedly had a surplus of about $3.3 million last year, due to a one-time payment by the provincial government of about the same amount. The salaries paid to Cook and Charles last year were probably based on that surplus. Both have been in their band positions for probably more than 20 years. What were they getting paid during all those years? It’s been reported that most chiefs and councillors in B.C. are paid in the range of $20,000 to $40,000. I suspect that for most of their time in band government, Cook and Charles were probably paid in the low end of that range. Is Canada not committed to financing infrastructure and housing on reserves? The Peace Arch News reports that federal payments last year to the Semiahmoo First Nation were only $171,673. That is hardly enough to run a small office. No wonder that the housing and infrastructure are in bad shape. Under its current leadership, the band has now accumulated a surplus of about $4.3 million. That is not enough to bring infrastructure and housing up to snuff, let alone solve all of the band’s problems. But it is a start. We could help by pressuring our own government to live up to our commitments, rather than by digging for excuses to blame band members for the problems. Bill McConnell, Surrey

Knotweed under fire Editor: Re: On the lookout for this ‘wicked’ weed, Aug. 26. Bryant Park, a beautiful, well-used park, is located immediately to the east of our condo complex and is infested by knotweed. Bryant Park is on City of White Rock property and was developed 10 years ago by the city with money – about $35,000 – provided by local Rotarians. The planning and planting was completed by the city with no input by Rotary. Currently, Rotarians have an agreement with the City of White Rock to provide certain maintenance in the park, with the city cutting the grass and providing plants and bulbs. Knotweed was included in the planting at that time and is now of great concern to the strata corporation and the residents of White Rock Square. Our underground parking is located

within inches of the knotweed, and, as your article accurately states, knotweed is “capable of upheaving concrete, cracking foundations.” The reason for our concern is obvious. The City of White Rock has taken measures to eradicate the problem over the past year, but the knotweed is thriving and expanding. I urge White Rock council to take action to eradicate the knotweed problem before its responsible for damage and very expensive repairs. Donald E. Boyce, White Rock Q No offence to Surrey resident Mardie Wolsey or his concerns, but I find that one can’t help to side, at least to some degree, with the much-maligned knotweed in its

battle against the ever-spreading concrete, along with all those other man-made menaces and blights that have been put in its way as it merely struggles to survive. In fact, I liken it to Mother Nature’s fighting back against all those manmade “invasive” species – being the very same concrete, pavement etc. we pour so liberally over Her as we go about building our 4,000-sq.-foot houses, our 12-storey-plus towers, and both our roads and parking lots. At the moment, I, like the “wicked” knotweed, find myself in a battle, alas but only with my strata council, in an attempt to save two healthy gum trees whose roots may, or may not be “encroaching” on our building’s foundation. Perhaps, we should be warning

both Metro Vancouver and the City of Surrey that ‘progress’ at any cost is not a good thing. After all, we can’t really just keep on building and building and not expect Mother Nature to occasionally fight back, can we? Yes I am getting on, but I do realize that the ’60s are long gone, but to Joni’s chagrin, here we are ‘still’ paving over our paradise with parking lots, roads and towers that stretch forever upward. So, yeah, I’m cheering a bit for Mother Nature along with that “wicked” knotweed, but only with the hope that it will somehow make us all stop and think of the dangers we bring upon ourselves by not showing respect for Her. Barry Cameron, White Rock

A capacity crowd at the City of White Rock’s advisory design panel in July indicates residents’ growing interest.

White Rock suffers growing pains Editor: Re: Legally obligated to grow, Aug. 28 letters; No legal mandate to add 7,000: Metro, Sept. 2. After reading the mayor of White Rock write about his perception that the municipality is ‘obligated to grow’, I wonder how he would plan to do so? It’s easy to build lots of houses, condos and apartment buildings. However, what many municipalities and their leaders haven’t completed is a capacity plan. Do the municipal and provincial leaders, many who are pro development, know how many people the lands will hold? Aside from food and water, many of our schools, health care, policing/justice and other critical infrastructure are unable to cope with the existing population. This likely will become more complicated when we factor in climate change, such as this past summer’s drought, recent wind storms and flooding. Our present support systems may not cut it. Has any study been undertaken to determine where municipalities should cap population in order to provide a decent quality of life to the current citizens? In the event of transportation breakdown, would we be able to feed the current population from local farms for an extended period? To my knowledge, there has never been a capacity plan developed that addresses the number of people the lands can adequately hold and answers to these specific questions. So, Mayor Wayne Baldwin can whine on about promoting growth, but to what end? He and the other mayors, along with Premier Christy Clark, don’t have these answers nor have they likely contemplated them. So, I recommend doing a capacity plan now before it’s too late. Then we can plan for our future with better understanding of what that might look like and whether we need to sacrifice something to achieve those ‘growth’ goals. John Mackintosh, Surrey Q I don’t think our elected city mayor and councillors have an easy job, but for whatever their personal reasons were at the time, they chose to run for the position. By accepting the position, they are implicitly agreeing to represent the citizens of White Rock.

With regards to Mayor Wayne Baldwin’s assertion that White Rock is legally obligated to create space for 7,000 new residents, he is either woefully ignorant of reality or he was deliberately trying to mislead the citizens of White Rock. Whichever the case, he has demonstrated that he’s unfit to act as mayor. Certainly, he doesn’t seem to be listening to the wishes of the residents of White Rock or have their best interests at heart. Perhaps he and any councillors who’ve lost perspective should consider resigning from their positions. Bruce McIntosh, White Rock Q Just a note of appreciation to Peace Arch News for drawing public attention to the White Rock highrise fiasco and the mayor’s very questionable Regional Growth Strategy interpretation. No credibility, no mandate. Keith Deevy, White Rock Q Hey! Relax, everyone! If the Regional Growth Strategy carries as much weight as the Official Community Plan, we have nothing to worry about – (winky face). Michèle McManus, White Rock Q An open letter to Mayor Wayne Baldwin and council. I admire the leadership expressed by Langley Township in fighting Metro and would expect you to do the same. For you to say you would not be willing to go to the court “over a couple thousand people” really implies you do not care to represent our city for important issues. You accuse Coun. Helen Fathers for being political. It is you who is being stubborn, patronizing and do not like getting corrected. Coun. Lynne Sinclair, I understand we have to respect the guidelines we agreed to. However, please note I used the word “guidelines” and not “law” as the mayor claims. Mayor Baldwin, if the city lawyer has advised you to write letters-to the-editor page under extreme circumstances or to correct information, what extreme circumstances prompted you to write the letter about the legal mandate? I suggest you write another letter to correct the information and apologize to the residents for misleading us. Aroon Shah, White Rock

A convicted killer who was supposed to go to trial last month for the murder of a Surrey man at a 2011 Christmas Eve party was recently found not guilty of the attempted murder of another man in Richmond. Russell Bidesi, 24, is charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of Bradley McPherson in Surrey. His trial for the McPherson murder was to begin Aug. 17, but was delayed when Bidesi’s lawyer withdrew. Court documents indicate late last month Bidesi was found not guilty of attempted murder and convicted of a lesser charge in a Richmond case where he was accused of shooting another man in the chin. In a July 24 B.C. Supreme Court decision, Bidesi was found guilty

of attempting to cause bodily harm and was sentenced the following week to 2½ years in prison. It was early morning Nov. 20, 2011 – just over a month before McPherson was shot – that Bidesi and Harpreet Sandhu were at a hotel party in Richmond. Court heard that while they had a “cordial” relationship, the two got into an argument outside that turned into a brief altercation. One of Bidesi’s friends punched Sandhu and another pulled out a gun and waved it around. Moments later, a cab pulled up and when Sandhu and his friends went to take it, Bidesi ran towards the taxi, carrying his friend’s gun. There was an argument and Bidesi pointed it at Sandhu. The gun fired, hitting him in the chin. Bidesi argued he pulled the gun only to intimidate Sandhu and

that it fired accidentally. While Justice Barbara Fisher found the shooting was intentional, she said there were aspects of the evidence that raised doubts that Bidesi intended to kill Sandhu, resulting in the bodily harm conviction rather than attempted murder. Fisher supported the Crown’s recommended 30-month sentence. In May, Bidesi was also found guilty of manslaughter in another case where a 31-year-old Surrey man was shot to death in 2012. Kacey Rogers was gunned down through the window of his home during a home invasion. Bidesi was initially charged with seconddegree murder in Rogers’ death, but convicted of the lesser charge of manslaughter. He’s scheduled to be sentenced in that case on Sept. 17. Bidesi has been in custody since February 2012.

Challenge of region’s jurisdiction over air pollution could resurface

Coal firm drops Metro fight Jeff Nagel Black Press

The company aiming to build a new coal-export terminal in Surrey has at least for now abandoned its court challenge of Metro Vancouver’s power to regulate industrial air pollution. Fraser Surrey Docks had challenged Metro’s jurisdiction over air quality after it contested a $1,000 ticket Metro issued for the release of soybean dust from its grain-handling terminal two years ago. The legal dispute had raised fears that Metro might lose its authority to control industrial emissions Ray Robb over any fedMetro Vancouver eral lands, not just at Fraser Surrey Docks, which argued it answers only to Port Metro Vancouver. But the case ended quietly June 11 when Fraser Surrey Docks paid the fine and dropped the challenge. “We paid the ticket just to focus our priorities and resources on other areas,” Fraser Surrey Docks CEO Jeff Scott said. “We still have some clarity concerns around the

Fraser Surrey Docks is planning to build a coal-export terminal. jurisdiction. We still believe the port is our regulator.” The terminal operator has warned Metro that it could resume that fight in the courts if Metro were to ticket or prosecute it for any future air quality violation. Scott said Fraser Surrey Docks will voluntarily apply for an air quality permit from Metro covering its operations – it has not sought one until now despite Metro’s insistence once is required. Ray Robb, Metro’s manager of environmental regulatory and enforcement services, said he wanted to see the region win in court. Robb said he believes Metro had a strong case, which has been bolstered because the company admitted guilt and paid the ticket. “We’ve advised them that continued discharge without a permit is contrary to our bylaw and they face the risk of potential further

action,” Robb said. “We remain of the opinion that our bylaws do apply. Their purpose is to protect human health. We will continue to pursue compliance with our bylaws.” As for how quickly the controversial Surrey coal terminal – opposed by various groups and municipalities – could be up and running, Scott estimates January 2017 at the earliest. That would assume a construction start by this winter. Before that can happen, Fraser Surrey Docks needs to get Port Metro Vancouver approval for its revised plan to load ocean-going ships directly in Surrey, rather than first barging coal to a transfer site at Texada Island as set out in the permit issued a year ago. Environmental groups have said they don’t believe the $15-million coal export terminal will be economically viable after the recent plunge in coal prices, which has prompted many mines to curtail operations. The proposed coal terminal also faces court challenges from Ecojustice on behalf of Communities and Coal, as well as the Musqueam First Nation. If built, the terminal would mean one additional coal train per day from the U.S. rolling through White Rock, South Surrey and Delta.

However, Douglas told Peace Arch News the impending move – which he hopes will take place within the next two months – was not in response to city or landlord directives. “We are getting so many people coming to visit us, we just don’t

I understand some people do want to do their own pace and explore independently but doing it by coach and in a group, gives you a great overview of the area for a future return trip to places you may have liked the best. I ask our return passengers quite often why they like coaching on a group tour versus going on their own. The most common answers are the social aspect and seeing the countryside.

Over the summer, Douglas received a series of fines – up to $1,000 – from the City of White Rock in connection with his “non-conforming use of the property” for assembly use. He told PAN last month that he had no intention of paying them. City spokesperson Shannon Levesque said Friday that no further fines have been issued in connection with the property’s use, however, an order for Douglas to remove a tent-like structure that is covering a car on the property is “yet to be resolved.” – Melissa Smalley & Tracy Holmes

Newcomers extends welcome to women ‘in a new stage of life’

Club offers friendship and community Alex Wilks

Special to Peace Arch News

ran Blackwood, 60, left her life behind in Vancouver four years ago for a cozy retirement along the shores of White

Rock. Newly divorced and an empty nester, Blackwood joined the White Rock South Surrey Newcomers Club in order to meet local women in her area. “I live on a steep hill and as neighbours we don’t really talk as much as some neighbourhoods do,” Blackwood said at the group’s meeting Sept. 1. “It’s really hard to get to know people under these circumstances.” The Newcomers Club is an organization for women who have moved to the White Rock/South Surrey area in the last three years. However, recently the club has opened its doors to women who have undergone significant life changes such as a loss of partner, retirement or change in marital status. The recent requirement change has a lot to do with the community. “Losing a partner changes your life and

can leave someone feeling like they have too much time on their hands. The newcomers club is perfect for this,” Blackwood said. While membership costs $40 annually, most activities are low cost or free of charge. More than 25 activities each month are offered for members, such as golf, bowling, scrabble or bridge. They also have the opportunity to join a weekly book club or morning walking club. “Joining gave me an immediate sense of community,” Blackwood said. “It has been a great experience.” The former club president hosts a small coffee meeting at her place each month for all new members. Other group members offer up their homes for movie nights or cake decorating. “Some of us become very close,” she said. “I have witnessed how members help each other through illness, loss of loved ones and sick kids. I have been one of them.” In February 2014, just 10 months into her presidency, Blackwood’s daughter broke her leg and needed her help to care for her granddaughter, and just oneweek later, her

89-year-old mother cracked her pelvis. Members stepped up to the plate because she was unable to. They took over her duties as president because her family needed her more. “Newcomers gave me encouraging support, calls, flowers and cards,” she said. Blackwood experienced firsthand the compassion of the group. “The women were incredibly supportive. They even dropped off food,” she said. Other members have also experienced this.

“A woman, one time, became quite sick, and I remember it meant so much to her when we sent her a card saying were thinking about you,” said Blackwood. “Our group is about friendship and community.” The age demographic of the club ranges from women in their early 30s to those in their late 80s, however, most members are 50 to 70 years old. “I think it has a lot to do with stage of life,” she said. “It’s much harder to meet people in your 50s when significant life changes do occur.” The club meets the first Tuesday of every month – September through June – at Mount Olive Lutheran Church, 2350 148 St. in South Surrey. “Newcomers is not just for newcomers anymore. It is also for women in a new stage of their lives,” said Blackwood. “Most of my close friends are the women here in my local community, the women that I met through Newcomers.” For more information, email president Deborah Wimpney at wrssnewcomers@ gmail.com

Brookside Elementary vice-principal and teacher Karen Addie sets up her class for the start of school.

Learning program sets SAIL New to the Surrey School District this fall is the SAIL program. SAIL – the Surrey Academy of Innovative Learning – was born from the Surrey Connect onlinelearning program. Surrey Connect (under the umbrella of SAIL) will continue to offer online courses for Grades 10-12. However, SAIL will also offer three new academies: one based in science, technology,

engineering and math (STEM); one focusing on arts (STEAM); and another for athletics and performing arts excellence (APAX). All the SAIL programs incorporate Makerspace, a shared student space that promotes peer learning, along with creativity, innovation and problem solving through inquiry-based study. The Grade 8 academies combine home online learning

with face-to-face classes with teachers three to four days per week. A wing at Brookside Elementary (8555 142A St.) has been transformed to host SAIL’s K-7 students. Bridging school and home learning, the program gives parents an opportunity to take a more active role in their child’s education with teachers to determine grade-appropriate strategies.

A message from the Surrey Teachers’ Association

Can you imagine the developed world voluntarily lowering its living standards so that the developing world will have a less demanding target to aim at? Instead, the developed world lives by the mantra of continuing growth. Can growth continue indefinitely, without limit or constraint? One can blow up a balloon to its maximum size; forcing in more air or gas beyond that will cause the balloon to burst. Does the analogy hold for socioeconomic systems? It seems the Pope thinks so. We’ve more than once been told that ‘peak oil’ has been reached but extended exploratory drilling, better extraction techniques and fracking postpone the day when oil will run out, just as the critics of Limits to Growth predicted. It’s still a finite resource, however,

and with China’s daily import volume now around six million barrels, the world price rose to around $150 per barrel before dropping for geo-political reasons. By encouraging growth, we’ve allowed ourselves to become dependent on oil. And now, quite apart from the fiscal implications of that high price, we face the attendant pollution problems caused by burning fossil fuels. A large proportion of our oil consumption goes to the transport sector, one that already has the technology to reduce oil consumption, with consequent environmental benefits: move more goods by rail instead of in trucks; promote electric-powered or flexible-fuel vehicles; or, perish the thought, consume less. We could, perhaps should, collaborate with China and India to develop cost-efficient alternative energy production – nuclear, geothermal and solar sources especially. We can hardly expect those countries to accept standards lower than ours so that we can escape the costs of our profligacy. One Chinese student is reported as asking: “Why should China have to restrict its energy and worry about the environment, when America and Europe got to consume all the energy they wanted when they were developing?” How do proponents of continuing growth respond to that searching question and Ugo Bardi’s forecast? The summary of the recent NASA ‘Human and Dynamical (HANDY) development model reads: “The fall of the Roman empire, and the equally advanced Chinese Han and Indian Maurayn and Gupta dynasties, as well as many Mesopotamian empires, are all testimony to the fact that advanced, sophisticated, complex and creative civilizations can be both fragile and impermanent.” Are we different?

the community,” Kendall told CKNW radio this week. “So we need the concept of herd immunity, where we get 95 per cent of the population of a cohort of children vaccinated, so it’s much harder for disease to spread in the community.” Vaccine records also give public health authorities a chance to counter misinformation that has proliferated in recent years, he said. “If we know who the parents of those children are, we can talk with them and tell them the facts

and what is real and what is not real, and hopefully convince a good proportion of them that what they’re actually fearing is either unreal or not scientifically valid, or is in fact a misplaced fear,” Kendall said. “And we would hope that we would get some of those parents at least to get their children vaccinated.” Parents in B.C. can now sign up for free text message reminders at immunizebc.ca/ reminders, and the website also offers a smartphone app to manage immunization records.

With communicable diseases such as whooping cough, mumps and measles making a comeback, Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall is reminding parents to make sure their children’s vaccines are up to date as they return to school. And Kendall has added his voice to that of the Canadian Medical Association, calling for mandatory declaration of vaccination when children enrol at school, as is done in Ontario and New Brunswick. The CMA voted at its annual meeting in late August for other provinces to follow suit, requiring immunization records but allowing exemptions for medical or religious reasons. Doctors also called for development of a national database to pull together records scattered between doctors’ offices and schools. “By the time a child reaches five or six years old, he or she should NDP Candidate Pixie Hobby Opens Doors have received booster to South Surrey, White Rock Community shots that protect against measles, polio, Pixie Hobby was an environmental lawyer with the Federal Government for over chicken pox, whooping 32 years and the chief architect of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act.

Fraser return of 2.4 million far less than forecast

Bad sockeye run has salmon watchers worried Jeff Nagel Black Press

Conservationists are urging continued vigilance to protect returning sockeye salmon as the Fraser River run comes in at levels far below what was forecast. The latest estimate pegs the run size at 2.4 million salmon, barely a third of the 6.8 million mid-range projection of fishery managers. Commercial fishing that was anticipated for August never happened because of the low returns. About 150,000 sockeye have been taken in First Nations food fisheries. “We don’t have the abundance we were expecting,” said Jennifer Nener, Lower Fraser area director for DFO. Unusually warm ocean temperatures over the past two years are thought to have reduced the food supply in the North Pacific for the sockeye now returning, and exposed them to more predators usually found further south. On top of that, the salmon that have made it back to the Fraser have had to battle dangerously hot river temperatures and low stream levels as a result of this summer’s drought and last winter’s recordlow snowpack. Watershed Watch Salmon Society

Any Fraser River sockeye salmon caught in commercial fishing nets this year are likely to be taken as bycatch in an upcoming fishery. commercial fishery adviser Greg Taylor is concerned far fewer of the stressed salmon that get past Mission will survive to reach their spawning grounds this year and effectively breed. Last summer, 1.7 million late-run sockeye that were counted as having gone upriver never reached the spawning beds and Taylor fears a repeat is in store. “This is nowhere near the 2009

debacle,” he said, referring to the sockeye collapse that triggered the Cohen Inquiry. “But this is not a very good scenario.” Now, a large number of pink salmon are beginning to enter the river – that run size is projected at 14.5 million. Commercial fishermen who have been barred from the sockeye fishery are expected to want to catch as many pinks as possible.

But seine boats that net up pinks in the weeks ahead could end up killing late-running sockeye as a bycatch. Late sockeye returns are down sharply from a forecast 1.24 million to an estimated 300,000. Commercial boats fishing for pinks would be directed to release caught sockeye, but Taylor is skeptical many netted sockeye would survive after being tossed back. “You’ve got to have extremely good compliance, you’ve got to have good fishing techniques in terms of handling those fish and you’ve got to have observers on board,” he said. “I know people want to get at those pinks and we’re not saying no pink fishing. But there are real concerns about that fishery.” Sports fishing for Fraser sockeye has also been banned this summer and there’s been growing pressure on some anglers who claim to fish for other species but use bottom bouncing or “flossing” techniques to snag sockeye that don’t normally bite a hook. Taylor, a former commercial fisherman, thinks DFO should cut off all river bank fishing when sockeye is non-retention due to conservation concerns and recreational

anglers refuse to use more selective methods. But he doesn’t believe fishery managers have the political will to enforce such a policy. “I’m appalled,” Taylor said, adding such blatant disregard of regulations by the commercial fleet would never be tolerated. “They know people are not complying. If they knew a significant component of the commercial fleet was not complying with the regulations, that fishery would be shut down. That’s a big-time double standard there.” Pink salmon that are ocean “ranched” – raised by hatcheries and let loose to forage at sea – by Alaska, Russia and Asian countries are also thought to be a problem for sockeye in the North Pacific, where the pinks compete for food. Alaskan fisheries in Prince William Sound are expected to net a record 100 million pinks this year, a reflection of the massive number of pink fry the state sends out to sea. “You just can’t keep on pumping out artificially propagated fish into the North Pacific at a time when habitats may be becoming constrained because of warm water, climate change and other issues,” Taylor said. – with files from Jennifer Feinberg

Blitz comes ahead of move to tougher penalties

A month-long enforcement blitz is underway across B.C. to reduce deaths and crashes from distracted driving. The new campaign launched Thursday by police forces and ICBC comes ahead of an expected move by the provincial government this fall to stiffen the penalties for repeat offenders. “B.C. drivers know it’s against the law, but far too many still make excuses for their behaviour, then continue to put themselves and others at risk,” said Staff Sgt. Dale Somerville of B.C. RCMP Traffic Services. “That’s why we’re cracking down on those who cannot police themselves.” According to ICBC, an estimated one in four deaths on B.C. roads involves distracted driving, which is the leading cause of crashes with pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists. Nearly 90 people die in distracted driving-related crashes each year in B.C., about a third of them in the Lower Mainland. Cell Watch volunteers will be roadside across the province reminding drivers to leave their phones alone. Somerville noted cellphone use is against the law even when a vehicle is stopped at a red light or in slowmoving traffic. ICBC road safety co-ordinators will

Supporters can also take a stand against distracted driving and encourage others to do the same by picking up a free decal from ICBC licensing offices and Autoplan dealers. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said the province’s recent review of the distracted driving penalties made it clear the public agrees the fines are too low. “The cost of a distracted-driving ticket in B.C. is only $167 – the second lowest in Canada – yet the cost of a distracted-driving crash can be a person’s life,” she said. “We are going to fix this. Over the coming months, we will make our roads safer with tough, fair and effective sanctions to curtail this alarming but preventable problem.”

Q: How Do I Know If My

Child Needs Glasses?

The best way to know if your child needs glasses is an exam by their optometrist. Children rarely report poor vision. Some children only see with one eye and yet they have no symptoms of poor vision because Dr. Liseann Head the other eye sees clearly and & Dr. Michelle Elliott compensates. The first eye exam should be at 6 months old, then age 3, then yearly until the child is finished school. Spectrum Optometry accepts MSP as full coverage for children’s exams. The 4 most common signs of vision problems affecting school work are: • Skipping lines when reading • Poor reading comprehension • Reversing letters like “b” into “d” • Short attention span with near work

Q: What are Blisters? Blisters are the accumulation of fluid between and outer layers of the skin. They A: theare inner rarely a serious concern, but can become infected and more problematic if not treated correctly. Causes: Blisters are caused by prolonged friction between your foot, socks and shoes. Treatment: A blister should be drained, by Dr. Howard Green sterile technique, as soon as possible. The skin Podiatrist layers will then stick together and allow for a speedy return to activity. Drain the blister, but leave the skin. Cover the area with a bandage and antibiotic cream or ointment. You should be able to expose the dried-up blister to air again in approximately 48 hours. If blisters are excessively painful, persistent or infected see your doctor or podiatrist for treatment. Prevention: Dual-layer or blister-free socks will minimize friction and moisture and help keep you less susceptible to blister formation. (Breathable synthetics are excellent for keeping your feet dry). Neoprene insoles may also help reduce friction. Break in new shoes gradually, and make sure that your shoes fit your feet properly, in both length and width and are also correct from a biomechanical point of view. This is important as too much foot motion can cause friction leading to blister formation. Activity Restrictions: None, but let comfort be your guide.

Does Canadian history always have to be dry, indigestible and unrelievedly respectable? Not according to Bob Bossin. The author’s lively, humourous, one-man musical play, Davy The Punk will come to Ocean Park Community Hall (1577 128 St.) Sunday, Sept. 13 at 7:30 p.m. as a fundraiser for Communities and Coal’s fight to end coal-train traffic through White Rock and South Surrey. A spell-binding entertainer and story-teller (and founder of legendary Canadian folk group Stringband), Bossin has drawn the material for the show and its companion book from his father (the Davy of the title) and his fascinating adventures in Toronto’s gambling underworld of the 1930s and 1940s. Bossin grew up knowing his dad only as a conservative man who booked acts into Ontario nightclubs. It was only after his dad died in 1963, when Bossin was 17 years old, that he began to discover the truth of ‘Davy The Punk,’ respected statesman of a thriving illicit milieu. Salty, ribald, down-to-earth and sprinkled with anecdotes of a Damon Runyon-esque set of characters and their close brushes with the office of the attorney general of Ontario and the police – many of whom were ‘on the take’ – the songs and tales are an authentic slice of Canadiana, spiced by the knowledge that while some of it is the stuff of legend, most of it is absolutely true.

Painless treatment for fungal nail infections M

any people don’t realize they have a fungal nail problem and, therefore, don’t seek treatment. Yet, fungal toenail infections are a common foot health problem and can persist for years without ever causing pain. The disease, characterized by a change in a toenail’s color, is often considered nothing more than a mere blemish. Left untreated, however, it can present serious problems. Also referred to as onychomycosis, fungal nails are infections underneath the surface of the nail, which may also penetrate the nail. Fungal nail infections are often accompanied by a secondary bacterial and/or yeast infection in or about the nail plate, which ultimately can lead to difficulty and pain when walking or running. Symptoms may include discoloration, brittleness, loosening, thickening, or crumbling of the nail. A group of fungi, called dermophytes, easily attack the nail and thrive on keratin, the nail’s protein substance. In some cases, when these tiny organisms take hold, the nail may become

thicker, yellowish-brown, or darker in color, and foul smelling. Debris may collect beneath the nail plate, white marks frequently appear on the nail plate, and the infection is capable of spreading to other toenails, the skin, or even the fingernails. Nail bed injury may make the nail more susceptible to all types of infection, including fungal infection. Those who suffer chronic diseases, such as diabetes, circulatory problems, or immune-deficiency conditions, are especially prone to fungal nails. Other contributory factors may be a history of Athlete’s Foot or excessive perspiration. Our treatment protocol is that we treat all 10 toes due to fungus being in the shoes and socks and transferring back and forth as it usually starts in 1 or 2 toes and spreads to the others. The treatment is approx. 35 minutes. The treatment is comfortable not painful.

Two members of the White Rock Bowling Club collected numerous pieces of hardware this summer, competing on the provincial and national stage over the past month. Marlene Cleutinx won gold at the B.C. senior triples, silver at the B.C. women’s triples, silver at the B.C. fours finals and, most recently, gold at national senior triples in Richmond. Fellow member Mary Wright, who is also the club’s head coach, won bronze at the B.C. seniors triples, gold at B.C. fours finals, gold at B.C. singles and gold at fours

nationals in Ontario. Wright left Friday for Winnipeg where she’ll be competing for the national title in women’s singles; the winner of that tournament will be eligible to compete on the international stage in Australia. The duo are long-time bowlers with dozens of competitions under their belts – and countless medals to show for it. Cleutinx began lawn bowling more than 30 years ago, and said it was the sports similarity to curling that first drew her in. “It is similar to curling, but different, too,” Cleutinx told Peace Arch News, “It’s more difficult. Your target is always changing,

and in bowling you’re all on your own.” Wright, who began bowling in 2000 and took part in her first competition three years later, said the game’s strategic aspects are one of many things she loves about the sport. “It’s kind of a precision sport,” she said. “It’s all about strategically choosing the shot and them performing it. It’s not just rolling balls.” As the White Rock Bowling Club wraps up its summer season and prepares for its winter season, the club is also celebrating its 80th anniversary, according to club i see page 27

One of the city’s largest soccer clubs is mourning the loss of one of its most valued members. Martin Foden, 66, died suddenly Wednesday while on vacation with his wife Lynn in Palm Springs, Calif. Foden was Surrey United soccer club’s executive director, just one of many positions he has filled in more than a quarter-century with the Cloverdale-based club. “It’s going to be a lonely year,” said Surrey United president Tom Duncan. “I’ve lost a friend. He was a tireless worker and always brought good ideas to the board. He helped us become one of the most Martin Foden successful soccer clubs in Surrey United B.C. and in Canada.” Foden coached or managed many teams under the Surrey United banner, including the three-time Provincial Cup champion men’s team (2003, 2012 and 2013), as well as the women’s team, which won 11 consecutive Provincial Cup titles between 2004 and 2014 and national championships in 2006 and 2011. He was BC Soccer’s Administrator of the Year in 2007 and the Coach of the Year in 2003. “He was very involved in the adult game,” said Duncan. “A lot of former professional players would come to Surrey United to continue playing or to coach, because of him.” Spiro Pegios, the current senior vicepresident at Surrey United and a former player under Foden on the men’s team, said the soccer community will be affected. “He could cut to the chase. He didn’t like the bureaucracy of the game, but he understood it and respected it,” said Pegios. “He could simplify complicated things. And sometimes people didn’t like or agree with what he said, but the y respected him for saying it.” Foden earned respect through a sense of fairness, Pegios said. “His ethics were always intact,” said Pegios. “Surrey United couldn’t exceed what was ethically correct. He always fought for Surrey United, but he wanted the game to be played the right way. “And that’s what’s going to be missed.”

Club celebrates 80 years in city

i from page 25 president Rollie Cook. As one of only three clubs in the Lower Mainland with carpeted turf, the club is able to keep its doors open year-rounds for its 166 active members. And as always, Cook said the club is happy to welcome anyone who may be interested in the sport to visit the 1079 Dolphin St. facility, to try out the game he described as “technically challenging.” “It’s also ridiculously inexpensive,” Cook pointed out. “You can come and bowl for 365 days a year, for about $15 a month. Where else can you do that?” For more about the club, visit www.whiterocklawnbowlingclub. com or call 604-536-2616.

Club history It was avid lawn bowler and White Rock pioneer James Henry Vidal who, upon moving to the seaside town from New Westminster in 1934, began his campaign to establish a lawn bowling club. With the assistance of Rev. R.C. Frank of the United Church, the club held its inaugural meeting on May 29, 1935, where a committee was formed with plans to canvas subscribers around town. The club’s first game was played on June 19. 1935, on the lawn of Mr. Habgood’s house on Stayte

Later that year, the club began its search for a permanent site, which they narrowed down to a parcel on Dolphin Street, bounded by Pacific and Royal Avenues. The land was bought, and the club was registered as Semiahmoo Lawn Bowling Club; a formal opening took place July 8, 1936, with 100 people in attendance from around the Lower Mainland.

It wasn’t until November 1949 that the club’s name was changed to White Rock Lawn Bowling Club, and in the years that followed many improvements were made to the facilities and the green. Today, the club has 166 members who bowl year-round on the all-weather carpeted turf, which was installed in 2008. The club has has dozens of players compete at the provincial, national and international level over the past several decades.

“We’ve done that – they’re big, they’re tough, and we think we’ve really improved. We’re ready to go.” Before Friday’s opener, the team will have to make two more cuts, Neufeld said – one defenceman and one forward. The team had an off-day Sunday, and Monday gathered together away from the rink to do the Grouse Grind. Neufeld said the next few days would be used to have a few more practices, and while the team avoided any serious injuries during training camp and the preseason, the week would also give some players the chances to heal “a few bumps and bruises.” Friday’s game starts at 7 p.m. at South Surrey Arena, and the Eagles play a second home tilt Sunday afternoon, at 4 p.m., against Coquitlam.

Kay was born in Haslemere, Surrey, England where she was raised with three brothers and a sister all of whom predeceased her. She married her late husband Elliott in May, 1940 and started her life in Canada as a war bride in December, 1944. Kay was predeceased by Elliott in July, 1996 and is survived by her daughter Jennifer (Ken) Harlos, son Terry (Leslie), four grandchildren and five greatgrandchildren. Also surviving are several nieces and nephews and their families. Kay lived with dignity and grace and was known as a kind and generous woman.

SHEILA DOREEN CONTOIS (formerly Waddell, nee Craiggs)

_____________ Advertise across the Lower Mainland in the 15 best-read community newspapers.

HUNT, Stanlie Sept. 20, 1940-Aug. 12, 2015 Devoted husband (Merina) and Father (Bevan & Alisen), entrepreneur and business man, creator and CEO of Smartstox online talk show. We will remember your humour, wit, artistic talents, generosity, kindness, Christian devotion and unconditional love. It is heartbreaking to carry on without you. A Memorial Service will be held at 2:00pm on Friday, September 18 at Holy Trinity Church at 15115 Roper Ave., White Rock, BC. Refreshments will be served and Celebration of Life will follow to approx. 4:00pm. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the BC Cancer Foundation. Condolences may be offered at www.victoryfuneralcentre.ca

Sheila died on Wednesday, August 26, 2015 in Tampa, Florida, just two days before her 67th birthday. After her valiant fight with breast cancer in 2008, her battle with cancer resumed last September. Her strong will to live and the love of her family and friends carried her through another 10 months of grueling chemotherapy. Her determination was so strong that we are sure her death was a surprise even to her. Sheila grew up and raised her children in White Rock, B.C. She moved away at various times in her life, making pit stops across the country, including Aldergrove and 100 Mile House. In 2001 she moved to Tampa to marry Walter, and eventually grew to love wearing a Buccaneers jersey in public. She dedicated most of her career to helping others in the extended care industry in Canada and also the US. Although Sheila left White Rock, her heart never did. It was her wish that she be remembered and brought back to Semiahamoo Bay, where she had so many fond memories of making sandcastles on the beach in White Rock, and of eating fish and chips at her parents’ restaurant, the Cottage Lunch. Sheila leaves behind her husband, Walter Contois, her children Tim and Laura Waddell; daughter-in-law Suzanne; grandchildren Sierra and Luke; parents Norman and Doreen Stanley; brothers Bruce (Audrey) Craiggs and Scott (Janet) Stanley; and sister-in-law Sue (Frank) Defillipis, as well as many nieces and nephews. We believe Sheila is now in a better place alongside her infant grandson Gabriel. A celebration of her life will be held Saturday, September 12 at 5:00 p.m. in the First United Church, White Rock, at Buena Vista & Centre St. Use Semiahmoo Ave. basement entrance off parking lot.

Mary Froese went quietly into the arms of her precious Jesus on August 26, 2015 at Cascade Hospice, Chilliwack at the age of 88. Mary, our Grandma Honey, your Auntie Mary, was born February 3, 1927, in Drake Saskatchewan. That same year the family moved to Dunrae, Manitoba where they lived for 12 years. In 1939 Mary’s family; parents, Henry and Katharina Ratzlaff along with siblings Hank, Anne, Jake, Peter, Tina, Lydia and Ernie, moved to Yarrow BC. In December 1942 Grandma Honey married Grandpa Eddie (A.J. ‘Ed’) Froese. Together they had one son Harold “Cactus” Froese. Throughout her adult life Auntie Mary served others; volunteering at Red Cross, helping refugees, and teaching Sunday School for 50+ years at Chilliwack Alliance Church. Mary worked first at Cascade Foods in Yarrow, then Clearbrook Frozen Foods and finally at P & E Builders in Chilliwack. She had many adventures with Ed and “Young Street Vocal Band”, singing on radio and in the church choir. She loved her prayer groups, her beautiful yard and her very precious neighbors, family and friends. Grandma Honey cherished her many trips to California to see her family – especially her five great grandsons. Mary’s greatest legacy is that she was a prayer warrior, always remembering her family, friends and those in need. Mary Froese (Grandma Honey, Auntie Mary) is lovingly remembered by her son Harold Froese and his wife Claudia; grandchildren Stacy Froese Borchardt and her sons Drew, Mitch and Luke Borchardt and Leslie Froese Loewen, husband Scott and their sons Evan and Max Loewen; her siblings and their families and her many friends she thought of as her “adopted” family, both here and in California. Mary was predeceased by her husband A.J. “Ed” Froese and brothers Jake and Hank Ratzlaff.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held at 11:00 am on Friday, September 18, 2015 at Chilliwack Alliance Church, 8700 Young Rd, Chilliwack. The family extends a special “Thank You” to the very special staff at Cascade Hospice for their gentle care and compassion. Memorial donations may be made in Mary’s name to Chilliwack Alliance Church designated to Children’s Ministries. Online condolences may be offered at www. woodlawn-mtcheam.ca
