Marijuana stance crosses party line, Trudeau says

Liberals weed out candidate’s views Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Joy Davies, federal Liberal candidate for South Surrey-White Rock, was under fire Thursday from both party Leader Justin Trudeau and her riding president after her pro-marijuana-use comments came to light. At Peace Arch News press time, Trudeau – who has vowed to legalize Contributed photo pot – was quick to distance himself from Davies & Trudeau. past Facebook statements by Davies that

marijuana being used or grown in a home causes no harm to children. Trudeau – campaigning in the Lower Mainland Thursday – told reporters the position of the party is that marijuana needs to be controlled and regulated to protect children. “The views expressed by the individual in question do not reflect the views of the Liberal party of Canada and certainly do not reflect my personal views,” he said.

Trudeau added he would be meeting with his advisers and would have a further statement on Davies in a matter of hours. “We are all deeply concerned by this,” riding president Ginny Hasselfield told PAN. “This does not reflect the views of the party…we are going to be looking into this.” Meanwhile Conservative candidate Dianne Watts reportedly told news website The Huffington Post that

Davies’ statements indicated bad judgment and being out of touch with riding priorities. The website had quoted Facebook posts by Davies – a long-time public advocate of medical marijuana – as saying that secondhand pot smoke in the home does not pose a risk to children, that marijuana use reduces domestic-violence incidents, and that the Canadian Cancer Society proi see page 8

Canada’s policy of requiring incoming government-assisted refugees to pay back loans of up to $10,000 for their airfare, medical exams and documents is under renewed fire now that the Syrian refugee crisis has emerged as a federal election issue. Advocates argue scrapping the repayment policy and turning the transportation loans into grants is Judy Villeneuve councillor one concrete step Ottawa can take now to make it easier for refugees to adapt to life in Canada. The City of Surrey – the top destination in B.C. for arriving refugees – is stepping up its yearslong campaign to kill the loans, on which the federal government charges interest after three years. “To arrive with a debt of $10,000 per family on their plate as they first start out here trying to get their feet on the ground in Canada is very, very stressful,” Surrey Coun.

Few details as case set for ‘disposition’ on Sept. 25

Trial cancelled for hit-and-run charges Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A man accused of running down two joggers in South Surrey nearly three years ago is no longer going to trial on the charges. But exactly what is happening with the case against Surrey resident Barry Russell Christiansen is unclear. Criminal Justice Branch spokesman Neil MacKenzie confirmed Wednesday that Christiansen’s trial – which had been scheduled for nine days and set to get underway on Monday – has been adjourned “on the expectation that the accused will be disposing of the matter

other than by way of a trial.” MacKenzie said he could not elaborate “until the case is dealt with.” Christiansen last appeared in Surrey Provincial Court Sept. 3; the case is set for “disposition” on Sept. 25. Christiansen’s lawyer could not be reached for comment by PAN press time Thursday. Three days after the 2012 hit-and-run, police announced the arrest of a 53-year-old Surrey man and the seizure of a BMW X1. Two charges of “fail to stop at accident scene involving bodily harm” were sworn against Christiansen in December 2013, one

Evidence from the scene included trafficcamera video that captured the impact and – about 25 seconds later – a figure approach the women, lean over them, then rapidly depart. In the days immediately after, family members of the victims expressed shock that someone could leave such a scene, describing the act as “disturbing.” Carlson told Peace Arch News two days after she was hit that she was “appalled and frightened” by what happened, and considered herself “extremely lucky to be alive.”

Solving Back Pain in South Surrey Could Cold Laser Therapy be The Solution for Back Pain? Cold Laser Therapy for Back Pain

Cold Laser erapy delivers light-based energy to cells of tissues that have been a ected by conditions causing back pain. For example, conditions such as herniated discs, internal scar tissue, soft tissue injuries, sciatica, and osteoarthritis, can be treated with Cold Laser erapy. Energy from red and infrared lights stimulate speci c chemical reactions in the a ected cells to enable and accelerate the healing process, resulting in reduced in ammation, removal of scar tissue, and ultimately the elimination of pain. e majority of back pain is caused by in ammation that results from various conditions or injuries a ecting the muscles, tendons, ligaments, or cartilage in the spine. e light energy delivered by Cold Laser erapy helps the cells to naturally overcome and stop in ammation.

is reduces pain, often after relatively few treatments. More importantly, this also allows the cells to undertake the next phase of repair and healing. e red and infrared lights increase the production of cellular energy (ATP) at various depths, speci cally helping to repair torn or damaged tissue. ey also increase the ability of blood cells to deliver oxygen and nutrients required for healing of the a ected cells.

How Does Cold Laser Therapy Work?

Cold Laser erapy is also referred to as Low Intensity Laser erapy, or Low Level Laser erapy. e Bio ex Cold Laser erapy system is a three step process, each using a di erent wavelength of light. e rst step uses a red light pad at 660nm, which gets absorbed by the cells of the skin and underlying super cial layers of muscle. e second step uses an infrared light pad at 830nm, reaching deeper into the muscle layers, tendons, and ligaments. e third step includes an infrared laser wand at 840nm that is placed speci cally on the a ected areas by a trained laser therapist. is light is very concentrated and targets the deepest structures, stimulating healing in ligaments, cartilage, joints, and even bone.

Tempers flare at meeting

Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

It didn’t take long for tempers to flare Wednesday at a publicinformation meeting in White Rock for a proposed seven-storey development. Within minutes of the meeting getting underway at Centennial Arena, a heated argument broke out between an angry resident and the architect of the project – slated for 14937 Thrift Ave. – over the building’s non-compliance with the city’s Official Community Plan, now under review. Shortly after, architect Gerry Blonski attempted to address the crowd of more than 40, highlighting White Rock’s desirability as a place to live, before being drowned out. “A lot of people want to retire here, and the reason why we’re proposing this here is because there is a demand for it,” Blonski said, before being interrupted by several residents. “Stick to the plan, you’re breaking the official plan here,” one man said. “Why are we even here tonight entertaining seven storeys in an apartment OCP of three to four?” resident Hazel Stack asked. As the crowd – which included Couns. Helen Fathers and David Chesney – began to clear, Martin Street resident Lynn Kendel told

Small problems easily overcome

e may not have much of an idea what to do when the power goes out, but Metro Vancouver – including residents in South Surrey – came through when it came to conserving water this summer. A long and unexpected run of hot weather at the beginning of the season led to dire predictions – and a bout of neighbour shaming when some lawns seemed significantly, and suspiciously, greener than others. But though some chafed at stringent Stage 3 regulations that even put washing your car on the forbidden list – unless you were an automated car wash patron – the fact remains water use was soon reined in to acceptable levels. Metro Vancouver has since moved down to Stage 2 water restrictions with reservoirs now at the 60 per cent level – basically limiting pressure washing to health-and-safety needs only, minimum water maintenance of playing fields and a continued ban on public and commercial fountains and water features. This is deemed a healthy position to be in at the beginning of fall, and while recent rain has clearly eased the situation, a reduction of public use is also being credited for the improved outlook. And, for that, good on us – notwithstanding the just over 140 fines, and a few more than 1,930 warning letters handed out for breaking water restrictions in the City of Surrey alone. Just as most of us realize that it’s a good thing to pull over our cars when police vehicles are barrelling through intersections on the way to or from some crisis, people seemed to grasp that conserving water was an easy and relatively painless way for us to show our responsible side. We should be glad, too, that we only have to deal with such patently First World problems – rather than worrying about surviving war, or disease, or the devastation caused by some natural disaster. It’s best to be prepared, after all, even if that involves some personal discomfort or inconvenience – and the relaxing of water restrictions, as encouraging as it is, is no call for complacency in the future. Even with our relatively comfortable, relatively effortless lives, we have seen we cannot entirely predict the weather, whether it brings us spells of drought or violent windstorms. And while we managed to get through this summer without reservoirs falling far below acceptable levels, it would only have taken a slightly different combination of factors to create a bona fide crisis.

it needs to be shared. Alan isn’t being victimized by its publication. He’s gone. Gone, like thousands before him and, without a doubt, thousands more to come. In journalism ethics classes, we’re taught to weigh what people are OK with seeing in the morning paper over their bowl of cereal against the news value that any given photo carries. Often, it’s a question of degrees of gruesomeness. The photo of Alan isn’t gruesome – far from it. He could well be sleeping. But we know he isn’t sleeping, and nothing about that is OK. The photo has been compared to another famous shot – that of Vietnamese girl Kim Phuc, whose clothes were burned off by napalm. That horrifying image was crucial in putting an end to an unpopular war. Last Thursday in Surrey, Alan’s story managed to knock the prime minister off message – during what is arguably the most tightly scripted campaign in recent history – to talk about Canada’s immigration policy and our role in the Syrian conflict. As we head toward the federal election, now is the ideal time to let candidates know where you stand on both issues. The only chance we have to effect real change is to care enough about what is happening to demand that change. Or, we can all just go back to our breakfast.

Not the first false alarm Editor: Re: Dog owner wants record wiped clean, Sept. 2. Our sympathies go out to Anita Tibbe and her excellent-looking dog, Cohen. While we can’t comment on the details of her case, we can confirm the trigger-happy record of the SPCA issuing false notices. Our golden retriever, Finnigan, was issued a notice this spring. We were pleased that the senior protection officer came to our home to apologize, but we think it might be more appropriate for the triggerhappy SPCA officer herself be given the ‘notice of distress’.

people’s-oriented “City of Parks” with corporate-gimmick greed “The Future Lives Here” meets my list of criteria so I won’t vote for that person. I’m for the people! Seriously, the Conservatives have imposed the Deaf Tax in the form of a five per cent GST. Being deaf myself, I had to hire a sign language interpreter to conduct some discussion with a hearing person who does not sign. When I got a bill, I noticed the tax, and objected to it. All assistive devices and services done for the disabled are exempted from the GST except the sign language interpreters’ services. I contacted both MP Russ Hiebert’s office and Finance

Minister Joe Oliver. Nothing. Evidently, they don’t care except to act against the unions, the veterans, the aboriginal peoples, and now the deaf people! So I’m going to vote for the people. Wayne Sinclair, Surrey Q Dianne Watts, the Conservative candidate for the Harper government, must answer a moral question. Is she prepared to sacrifice her well-earned local reputation and become a part of the lie now taking place around the Mike Duffy scandal? The truth will likely come out after the election, but the answer

to this question will determine my vote for her. Alex Beleski, Surrey

Home delivery costly to keep Editor: Re: Keep us posted on party lines, Sept. 4 letters. While there’s no doubt that it will be inconvenient when we no longer have our mail delivered to our door, I think it’s the price we have to pay – or the cost we have to avoid – for the change. According to the CP web page, our postal service operated at a net loss over the past four years; a loss of $253 million in 2011 and another loss of $269 million in 2013, against profits of $98 million and $86 million in 2012 and 2014 respectively, for a loss of $348 million since 2011.

White Rock residents challenge the mayor’s interpretation of what Metro’s population projections mean for their city.

No need for mad rush to grow Editor: Re: Legally obligated to grow, Aug. 28 letters. Mayor Wayne Baldwin’s letter to the editor is an attempt to justify recent council decisions regarding development. Baldwin is referring to Greater Vancouver Regional District Bylaw No. 1136 accepted by White Rock council March 7, 2011. It states that the expected population for White Rock in 2041 will be 27,000, an increase of 7,000 people. However, it further states these projections are to assist in long-range planning and are guidelines only. Certainly not a mandated requirement, as Baldwin has stated. The bylaw separates ‘general urban’ areas from ‘urban centres’. A ‘general’ area is designated for lower-density development, whereas ‘urban centres’ are designated as medium- and higher-density areas. In White Rock, the ‘urban centre’ is the area surrounded by North Bluff, George Street, Martin Drive and Thrift Avenue. The intent and spirit of the bylaw is not to create a must-follow attitude, but more it supports “harmony with nature, fosters community well-being and ensures economic prosperity”. The tough choice for mayor and some council members is will they embrace the intent and spirit of the bylaw, or will they continue to embrace developers. Ian Routledge, White Rock Q Re: No legal mandate to add 7,000: Metro, Sept. 2. Regarding the Metro Regional Growth Strategy for White Rock and the dwelling-units figure of 4,000 that is being bandied about as a goal for 2041 – the correct figure should be 2,700, as White Rock Regional Context Statement figures begin at the year 2006 at 9,400 growing to 13,000 units by 2041, so that is 3,600, not 4,000. I estimate the updated figure for 2015 is approximately 10,350. So, if we follow these numbers, we have 2,650 more units to go and 26 years in which to do it. As these figures are only guidelines, it is up to us whether we want to build this many more units. It is worth noting that White Rock is already one of the

most compact communities in the region, with less than one per cent of Metro Vancouver’s land area. It is 4.7 times the density than the average for Metro Vancouver. We are increasing our dwelling-unit numbers slowly all the time when older homes are replaced by larger ones – usually including a suite – and when older homes are replaced by low-density units within the proper zoning. This mad rush by developers to push highrises through on land that is not zoned for highrises should not happen. The White Rock Coalition did not campaign on massive development at election time, but it appears that if we don’t speak up loudly, they will adjust the Official Community Plan to allow this to happen. Patricia Kealy, White Rock Q Perhaps lost in the controversy about population growth in White Rock, is that only two of the four Bosa Towers in the town centre have been built. I assume the other two have not been built because the real estate market would not bear their price. What makes the mayor and the developers believe that the proposed towers would have a different fate? Bob Holden, White Rock Q An open letter to White Rock Coun. Lynne Sinclair. Your quote from the article in the PAN on the Regional Growth Plan says you are “not the right person to answer” whether it was legally binding. Why are you not the right person to answer? Are you not a member of council of which the public puts their trust in? Have you not done your homework? Do you not read the PAN? Do you not read your emails? Do you not listen to your constituents? I am a new resident to White Rock – as Mayor Wayne Baldwin pointed out to me in a recent email exchange – but even I know the answer to that question, which is a resounding no. I would expect that our members of council would be better informed on such important matters. Vickie Darts, White Rock

White Rock returns to Stage 1

Surrey water restrictions reduced to Stage 2 Jeff Nagel Black Press

Metro Vancouver has returned to Stage 2 water restrictions – allowing once-a-week lawn sprinkling and car washing once again – after recent heavy rains helped refill the regional district’s reservoirs. And Metro utilities committee chair Darrell Mussatto said the region – which controls Surrey water, but not White Rock’s – may soon return to the routine, minimal water-conservation measures of summer. “If we don’t get any more hot, dry weather we could go back to Stage 1 in a week or two,” he said.

The regional district’s latest measurement of its water supply released Wednesday showed it held steady at 60 per cent capacity and is now in the middle of the normal range for this time of year. Stage 3 restrictions were imposed July 20, banning all lawn sprinkling with Metro water as well as pressure washing and the refilling of pools and water features. At Stage 2, those uses can resume, but pressure washing is only permitted for health and safety, not esthetic purposes, and car washing is to be done only with automatic shutoff hose nozzles. Early morning lawn sprinkling can resume

on Mondays for even-numbered homes and Thursdays for odd addresses. Stage 3 limits succeeded in keeping daily water use capped at a target of 1.2 billion litres per day, a level Metro calculated could be sustained until November with no rains if necessary. Mussatto credited the extraordinary conservation efforts of residents. “We had extreme stress on our reservoirs this year,” he said, noting the record low snowpack and months of hot, dry weather earlier in the spring and summer. “Our residents and our reservoirs did extremely well. They responded to the regu-

lations and they made adjustments when they needed to.” Mussatto said residents should expect at least Stage 1 restrictions to still remain in place past the end of September, when summer water-conservation measures typically expire. He said the regional district will also consider an early start to water restrictions than June 1 in future years as a precaution against another severe drought year. White Rock’s water supply – provided through Epcor – returned to Stage 1 restrictions Monday, after remaining on customary Stage 2 most of the summer.

She is a founding member of Canadian Medical Cannabis Partners, and was active in the organization’s lobbying of the City of White Rock, in January 2014, for support of a provincial medical-marijuana program.

a four-year absence, is up against incumbent NDP MP Jinny Sims and Conservative candidate Harpreet Singh, and all three have a decent shot. Given a likely minority parliament, electing MPs of character who will do more than just bow meekly to their leaders’ orders make sense. It is entirely possible that decisions in Ottawa will come down to one vote. That’s what happened in 2005, when Cadman was the deciding vote in the Paul Martin Liberal government surviving. Unfortunately, Cadman was battling cancer and did not live much longer. His integrity and willingness to run as an independent after losing the Conservative nomination set a high standard for future MPs. There will be plenty of chances to find out more about local candidates in print or via the airwaves or Internet. Despite the negativity from many politicians, Canada is a great place to live and we have the a privilege of electing our individual MPs. Take the process seriously. Do not believe everything you hear from politicians, and take the time to research the candidates so your vote will truly count on Oct. 19.

‘Best turnout ever’ for car show

An elegant affair Organizers of the Crescent Beach Concours d’Elegance are celebrating a record year, following the fifth annual event last weekend. “We had the best turnout ever,” said Brad Pelling, a South Surrey resident and the driving force behind the show coming to the local waterfront. It was held in Gastown for eight years prior. Staged in Blackie Spit Park on Sept. 5, the display of vintage automobiles and motorcycles from across the

west coast of Canada and the U.S. drew about 6,500 spectators. A panel of 25 judges evaluated around 90 vehicles in nearly a dozen competition classes – including Shelby, Jaguar Post War, Corvette 19631972, Muscle Cars and Motorcycles. Special awards were also given, including Historical Significance, Most Elegant Pre War Car and Elegance in Motion.

Clockwise, from top left: Dennis Groundwater gets a good view of the show from his 1947 Ford convertible, which took top spot in the Early Ford V8 1932-1954 category; a dog patiently waits for its owner atop the seat of a car; White Rock’s Peter Kassell polishes his 1991 Rolls Royce Silver Spur so perfectly he can see himself in it; Judges examine a 1932 Auburn owned by South Surrey’s Kirk Stevenson (left); the hood ornament on a Jaguar shines in the sunlight.

Cloverdale BIA appealing for sponsorship for ‘sacred’ event

Santa parade in jeopardy Jennifer Lang Black Press

The Cloverdale Business Improvement Association has launched an appeal to save one of its largest community events, Surrey’s Santa Parade of Lights. For the past two years, the association has had to drum up thousands of dollars in sponsorships to cover costs of the annual Christmas parade, a celebration that lights up the historic town centre each December. The event culminates with the arrival of Santa Claus, along with a lighted procession of trucks from Vancouver Island and the Fraser Valley. As the parade has grown, security and traffic-control costs have soared. This year, the association – which promotes the historic town centre as a business district on behalf of about 300 member businesses – was forced to shelve two of its signature events, the Cloverdale Blueberry Festival in August and the annual Halloween Costume Parade, citing budget constraints. The budget-conscious association is now galvanizing efforts to save the Santa parade. “The two most sacred events that they want to support are the Rodeo parade and the Santa parade,” Orazietti said. “Being very mindful of dollars, we believe

Santa Claus waves to the crowd at last year’s Cloverdale parade. this is something we can support with limited manpower.” The Save the 2015 Surrey Santa Parade campaign is a fundraising drive that businesses and individuals can support by sponsoring anywhere from $1 to $1,000. Orazietti also hopes people will also share personal photos from the Santa Parade on social media, using the hashtag #SaveTheSurreySantaParade. Meantime, the Cloverdale BIA is approaching other Surrey BIAs to help out. “There should be some increased cost-sharing,” he said, pointing to Central City’s Big Rigs for Kids, which coincides with Surrey’s Santa Parade of Lights

and features the same convoy of lighted trucks that collect donations for the Surrey Food Bank and Surrey Christmas Bureau. Orazietti would like to see the Surrey Santa Parade boost efforts to support the Surrey Food Bank, potentially creating a fund for a portable power backup system. “Since we’re lighting up Surrey, we want to light up the food bank,” he said. “We want to reach out to communities to see how we can do this in a meaningful way. So that the parade is more than just waving at Santa. It takes it to another level.” For information, call 604-5763155.

Surrey principal co-authors a guide to education in B.C.

School tips from the inside Sheila Reynolds Black Press

With 50-plus years of combined experience in schools, the concept came readily. South Surrey principal Faizel Rawji and fellow educators David Mushens and David Starr – who all live in Coquitlam – were having coffee together when it struck them. In their many years as teachers and principals, they were all regularly asked the same questions: How should I pick a school for my child? Who’s really in charge of schools? What if I want my kids in a certain class? Should I consider French immersion? “There are common things that parents ask us. I get at least two calls from friends every week with questions,” says Rawji, a 10-year principal in Surrey who’s at Sunnyside Elementary this year. “They’re looking at education in the rear view mirror, from their own experience.” The trio decided to write a book to provide accessible answers to many of the typical queries. Insider’s Guide to K-12 Education in B.C.: What every parent and educator needs to know was released by publisher Pacific Educational Press last month, just in time for the new school year.

NDP Candidate Pixie Hobby Opens Doors to South Surrey, White Rock Community Pixie Hobby was an environmental lawyer with the Federal Government for over 32 years and the chief architect of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. Today, as a long time resident and active member of the South Surrey community, Pixie and her team of over 100 volunteers are committed to restoring communication between our community and Ottawa. Her campaign represents a renewal of participatory democracy where every citizen’s voice counts, in an era of eroding freedoms and public participation.

The trial of a man charged with taking a nineyear-old from her Surrey bedroom and attacking her last summer is scheduled to begin early next year. Cory Andrew Schaumleffel, 29, appeared by video in Surrey Provincial Court last week on what was scheduled to be the first day of a preliminary hearing. Lawyers, however, said they were not ready to begin and re-scheduled the hearing to Oct. 21. Schaumleffel is charged with kidnapping, sexual assault, break and enter, sexual interference of a person under 16 and exposing himself to someone under 16 in connection with the Surrey girl’s attack in late August 2014.

Want Results?

Police at the time said the child was lured out of her bedroom window in the night, taken to a park and sexually assaulted. She was then brought to a nearby yard and stayed until the attacker left before running home. Another man was originally arrested and charged in the attack after he confessed shortly after the incident. But weeks later, Surrey RCMP said it became clear the man had admitted to a crime he had not committed. After further investigation, Schaumleffel, who is from Chilliwack, was arrested on Oct. 13 and charged. He has been in custody since and according to Crown prosecutors, has never applied for bail. Schaumleffel’s trial is scheduled for 16 days in early 2016, beginning Jan. 19.

Despite concerns from residents who have spotted Japanese knotweed around White Rock, staff say eradication efforts over the past two years have been successful at working towards getting rid of the invasive plant. Surrey resident John Brodie told Peace Arch News he spotted a cluster of knotweed between the train tracks and the shoreline on West Beach while visiting the city earlier this summer, and has seen it elsewhere on White Rock’s waterfront. Two weeks ago, he returned to the beach and noticed that new shoots were beginning to sprout up near the larger plant. “It’s very problematic,” Brodie said. “It just spreads like crazy and it’s very difficult to control unless you grab it early.

Salmon run estimate cut Jeff Nagel Black Press

Fishery managers have approved commercial fishing by seine boats for pink salmon despite estimates that the run is less than half what was anticipated. The Fraser River pink fishery got the green light Tuesday as the Pacific Salmon Commission pegged the run size at 6.2 million salmon, down from a forecast of 14.5 million. Conservationists had previously urged caution in fishing for pinks to avoid a bycatch of late-running sockeye entering the river at the same time. There was no commercial fishing for sockeye this summer after the run came back far below the expected

6.8 million. Officials at the salmon commission pared their estimates of the sockeye run size again Tuesday, cutting it from 2.4 to 2.1 million. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no definitive explanation of why the actual returns have fallen short of predictions, but warm ocean temperatures over the past two years are thought to be one significant factor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now the bottomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s falling out of the pink run,â&#x20AC;? said Sto:lo fisheries adviser Ernie Crey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a double whammy.â&#x20AC;? This summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drought and low stream levels have also raised concerns for the survival rate of returning salmon as they migrate upriver.

Immersion cancelled at Cougar Creek due to low enrolment

School axes French program Sheila Reynolds Black Press

A new French-immersion program that was to start at Surrey’s Cougar Creek Elementary this week has been cancelled before it could begin. Surrey School District officials announced last month that the program was in peril due to low enrolment – just eight kids were signed up to start the kindergarten language program. Early last week, that number had risen to 12. But that’s where enrolment stalled, forcing the district to halt the program as it fell far short of the 22 students preferable for a full class. Even with 18 or 20, the class may have proceeded, said Surrey Board of Education chair Shawn Wilson, who was shocked at the low interest in the new Frenchimmersion location. “I would’ve expected there would be a full take-up of that program,” he said. “To ask the questions and go to the public… and include it in a facilities plan and open it and not have anyone commit to it was a disappointment.” In June, after years of parents lobbying for better access to French immersion, the school district found available space at the Newton-area elementary school and gave the go-ahead to open a new program there. Cougar Creek would have been the seventh elementary school in Surrey to host an early French program. Heather Bartlett, acting

Queen honoured British Columbia is joining the rest of the Commonwealth to mark the occasion as Queen Elizabeth II became Britain’s longest-reigning monarch this week. Her Majesty surpassed the record of her greatgreat-grandmother Queen Victoria on Sept. 9, making her the longest-reigning female monarch in history. Born Elizabeth Alexandra Mary on April 21, 1926, Elizabeth II became head of the Commonwealth Feb. 6, 1952 and is serving as Queen for her 63rd year. Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon, the Queen’s representative in B.C., is hosting a garden party at Government House in Victoria on Saturday, Sept. 12 to celebrate. The free event includes music, tea and children’s entertainment. “In the spirit of the occasion, guests are encouraged to wear their hats and gloves,” a release states.

A planned French-immersion program at Surrey’s Cougar Creek Elementary has been cancelled due to lack of registered students. executive director the Canadian Parents for French’s B.C. & Yukon branch, says the Surrey situation doesn’t indicate a lack of interest in French immersion, but the fact access to programs remains an issue. “While we recognize that opening a new program was a step in the right direction, it is unfortunate that the first program expansion in over 20 years was placed at the city’s border (with Delta) and not more centralized within the district where there is high demand.” On Tuesday, the first day of the school year, Bartlett issued a news release saying that according to a report released that day, more students in B.C. are participating in French-language programs than ever before. “The report showed that province-wide, Frenchimmersion enrolment has been increasing for 17 consecutive years. The booming popularity of this well-established program

is creating a shortage of qualified French-language teachers,” Bartlett’s news release said. Every year, dozens of children are put on waiting lists as the demand far outweighs the number of student spaces available for French immersion in Surrey schools. From spring to mid-August, parents of the 229 families on the waiting list were contacted and offered a spot at Cougar Creek. Most, said the district, indicated they weren’t willing to drive to the school. The waiting lists are significantly longer at the South Surrey schools that offer French immersion. But Wilson said the program has to be offered in all areas of the city. “We have to establish these things in a fair and equitable way,” he said. “We’re responsible for responding to the public’s demands and then we do and no one responds.” – with files from Kevin Diakiw

Surrey top destination for trickle of Syrians fleeing war-torn country so far

Emergency refugee program urged Jeff Nagel Black Press

B.C. took in just 72 governmentassisted refugees from Syria over the past 2½ years – more than half of them coming to Surrey – and advocates say there’s room for so many more. They compare Canada’s response to the current refugee crisis, in which Ottawa has pledged to take 10,000 Syrians spread out over three years, to how the country stepped up to accept fleeing Vietnamese boat people. In 1980, Canada welcomed more than 19,200 southeast Asian refugees and nearly 60,000 more were sponsored over two years by churches and other groups. “If there is political will, we can move mountains,” said Chris Friesen, chair of the Canadian Immigrant Settlement Sector Alliance. The current trickle of arriving government-assisted Syrians, perhaps a dozen a year into Surrey, is a fraction of the city’s rapidly growing population, which climbs by about 1,000 new residents a month. The number of additional church-sponsored Syrian refugees is uncertain, but is likely tiny, according to Friesen, who is also director of settlement services for the Immigrant Services Society of B.C. Most of the 72 Syrians have come to B.C. from Lebanon, but

Immigration lawyer Richard Kurland believes there are plenty of churches and other groups and individuals eligible and willing to sponsor more refugees, but Ottawa has arbitrarily imposed a quota that creates a slow bottleneck for processing sponsored applications. “The problem is the immigration minister is processing about seven or eight cases a day,” Kurland said, arguing that could be changed at the stroke of a pen as there’s no lack of staff or resources. “If the minister says instead of processing about eight cases a day, process 20 or 25, it’s an immediate solution.” As it sits, he said, a flawlessly completed new refugee application filed now faces a 42-month processing wait.

B.C. offers $1M in aid for Syrians Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. government has added $1 million to its budget for helping refugees settle in the province, and has opened a tollfree information line for those who want to sponsor people fleeing violence in Syria. Premier Christy Clark announced the funding in Vancouver Tuesday, along with a toll-free information number at 1-877-9526914. Clark said the province Christy Clark currently premier spends about $4 million a year to support the federal program that settles immigrants in B.C. The extra funds will be reserved to help Syrian refugees, she said. “It is our belief that it’s just not good enough to totally open our doors,” Clark said. “We have to make sure that when refugees get here, we’re doing everything that we can to help them realize the Canadian dream and find their way as seamlessly as possible into British Columbia.”

Sumner Brothers embrace darker, guitar-driven sound on new album

Little bit country, now a whole lot rock ‘n’ roll Alex Browne Arts Reporter

When it’s suggested to Brian Sumner that he and his brother, Bob, are likely to stay fiercely independent individualists on the music scene, he chuckles. But he doesn’t deny it. “We can do anything we want to do,” he acknowledges, noting that never having sought a major label contract, or management

representation – or even radio play outside of college and Internet stations – has its advantages. “We have a significant fan base, and that’s worldwide,” he says of their South Surrey-based act, The Sumner Brothers, a continuing stand-out in the folk-rock-country idiom. “It’s small, but significant – and we know, when we’re writing or

selling something, that we’re going to hear feedback.” Those who only discovered the brothers latterly through their last album, the dark and twangy, roots-acoustic-tinged I’ll Be There Tomorrow, may consider their latest, The Hell In Your Mind – heavy with electric guitar riffs and driving drumbeats backing Bob’s “tenor croon” and Brian’s gritty “low baritone” – a departure.

While I’ll Be There Tomorrow plays almost like a situational pulp western narrative, The Hell In Your Mind – which drops later this month at selected stores and online – goes to even darker places in its lyrical content. Songs like Last Night I Got Drunk, Giant Song, It Wasn’t All My Fault, Go This One Alone, Lose Your Mind, I’m Not Ready and My Dearest Friends are mostly to do,

Sumner admits,” with “people’s own personal, inner conflicts.” The one exception, Ant Song – written by Bob, and inspired by a BBC wildlife documentary – uses the observed effects of a killer fungi on ant populations as a clear metaphor for the human condition. “(The Hell In Your Mind) is a little bit more rock ‘n’ roll, I guess,” › see page 28

Violinist recognized

Rising star Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

his year has been “one surprise after another” said Julie Lin, a White Rock violinist who has won national recognition as one of Canada’s best young musicians. Although only 16, Lin is a community member of the Kwantlen Polytechnic University-based AJA Trio, which last month scored a first-place win in the chamber music category of the 45th annual National Music Festival. The White Rock Christian Academy student joined her colleagues, KPU students Alexander Chernata (clarinet) and Andrea Pedro (piano), at the festival, hosted in Edmonton through mid-August by the Federation of Canadian Music Festivals. Close to six dozen other entries – both individual musicians and groups representing the cream of young amateur musicians – were competing at the event. It’s the most prestigious accolade so far for the trio, who also astounded audiences and judges with their technical proficiency and sheer musicality earlier this year with winning performances at the Kiwanis Fraser Valley International Music Festival, the National Chamber Music Class at the Performing Arts BC › see page 30

PETER’S SHOE REPAIR

No building permit required for art installation

Encyclopedia House back on track Alex Browne Arts Reporter

File photo

Don and Cora Li-Leger look over stacks of books.

The Encyclopedia House project of South Surrey artist Don Li-Leger seems to be on track for a debut at Newton’s The Grove in time for the Newton Pop Up Art Walk this Saturday (Sept. 12, 6-9 p.m.). The art installation – an 8-by-12-foot temporary structure built from discarded encyclopedias and other books – is intended as a commentary on Western society’s need to address homelessness using ‘bricks’ of recycled knowledge.

The project had become embroiled in red tape, as city staff raised concerns about building and fire inspections. But Li-Leger said that, following a Peace Arch News story last week, city staff now seem to grasp that the installation was not intended as a practical shelter. “They’ve told me I don’t need a building permit,” he said. “It appears that all they need is a letter from an engineer saying that it’s not going to fall on anybody.” Li-Leger said he was hopeful that a volunteer engineer

uestion: I looked after my mom and dad for the last 15 years of my life. My sister wasn’t interested and had a really nice life. She was so impatient with my parents’ “old ways” she acted as if she should admonish them for their senior ways. My mom died Àrst and shortly thereafter my father. My father had really become angry at my sister at how she upset my mom and how they had loaned a lot of money to my sister in her early unsuccessful years. The loans were never repaid. Without my knowledge he made a will cutting my sister out of it. She has started a lawsuit. Can’t someone make a will to suit themselves?

nswer: Nope. Your sister has the right to start a lawsuit just because she has been cut out, and she can question the circumstances of the signing of the will, ie was your dad fully capable, or was it signed as a result of your pressure. However, starting a lawsuit is a lot easier than winning one. NEW CLIENTS WELCOME

Also a challenge was the fact that the trio was playing pieces that are not “the standard classical repertoire,” Lin said. “They’re much more contemporary – pieces by Stravinsky and Khatchaturian,” she said, adding that she feels that the experience will benefit her in future university training. “It’s valuable to learn how to attack this kind of music,” she said.

For KPU, it was the university’s first win at the national festival. “The AJA Trio (win) was definitely a Kwantlen music department highlight, not just for 2015, but for its history,” Hayes commented, in a university press release. “While we have had former students go on to receive prestigious honours, this award is a first for current students,” added Hayes, who worked closely with the trio in developing its sound. “The dedication and time commitment they’ve made results in beautiful-sounding teamwork at the highest level,” she said.

Search comes after two resignations from theatre group

Club seeks board members White Rock Players Club is seeking two new board members following recent resignations. A new treasurer and new corresponding secretary are being sought for the club, which will hold a general meeting of members Sept. 20 at 7 p.m. at Coast Capital Playhouse (1532 Johnston Rd.) to vote on candidates for the positions. Treasurer Karen Doolan and board member Michele Partridge both recently resigned from the club, which is reportedly struggling financially due to shrinking box office returns. Membership in the club is necessary to be eligible for office, and nominees must have been a member in good standing for at least one year to be eligible for election to the executive.

BC Hockey League team takes aim at better record, playoff spot after struggles last year

Eagles looking ahead as season begins Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

hen the Surrey Eagles hit the ice tonight at South Surrey Arena, it will be a chance to officially put last season in the rearview mirror, and instead focus on the future – one that, for head coach Blaine Neufeld, hopefully includes the playoffs. “That’s the goal. Our plans, our goal, is to win our division and make the playoffs,” Neufeld said. “We just want to put last year out of our minds.” Last year, local hockey fans will recall, was a particularly tough one for the BC Hockey League club. Neufeld was in his first year behind the bench – in his firstever junior ‘A’ head coaching job – after taking over from Peter Schaefer, and the roster, too, was

turned over quite dramatically. In an attempt to better connect with the community, the team tried its best to stock the roster with local products, many of

whom were rookies. As well, the team was beset with a slew of injuries, and played many games with affiliate players. In the end, it all added up to

a league-worst 9-45-1-3 record (win-loss-overtime loss-tie) and the second-worst offence in BCHL history, scoring at a clip of just 2.33 goals-per-game. But all that is in the past, Neufeld said. Now, with a bevy of new faces – only eight players from last year’s team remain, after off-season trades, graduations and training-camp cuts – the squad is hoping to get off to a good start, beginning tonight (Friday) against the Langley Rivermen, and Sunday afternoon, at home against the Coquitlam Express. “We have about 14 guys on the team now who knew nothing about last season, and all they want to do is win,” the secondyear coach said. “The tune has changed quite a bit around here.” Helping matters was the fact

that Neufeld and his staff had a full off-season to recruit talent – last year, Neufeld took the reins midway through the summer. Among the new recruits Neufeld is most excited about is new starting goaltender Justin LaForest, who was acquired from the RBC Cup champion Portage Terriers of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League, and 18-yearold Danish defenceman Ludvig Adamsen. LaForest will be tasked with replacing outgoing netminder Christian Short, who was among the BCHL’s busiest netminders, routinely facing 40-plus shots per game. Neufeld called the 20-year-old LaForest “a proven winner” who has been better than advertised through training camp and i see page 34

Long-jumper 4th at worlds Christabel Nettey fell just short of a medal at the World Track and Field Championships last week in Beijing, China. The 24-year-old Surrey long-jumper jumped 6.95-m in the first of six attempts, the second-best jump of the first round. Nettey was in a podium position until Tianna Bartoletta of the United States leapt 7.14-m on her final attempt to win the gold medal. Shara Proctor of Great Britian was second at 7.07-m, while Ivana Spanovic of Serbia won the bronze medal at 7.01-m, Nettey’s fourth-place finish was the best ever by a Canadian long-jumper at a world championship event.

Eagles open with home game Friday i from page 33 preseason. “I think we had a tremendous off-season. Our group did a great job of getting us some talented new guys,” Neufeld said. And though he’s not technically a new recruit, the head coach was also excited about the return of young local forward Ty Westgard, who played 17 games last season – tallying nine points – before his season ended abruptly when his Achilles tendon was cut during a game. “He’s looking really good, and

he’s got an elite skill set that really sets him apart from a lot of players,” Neufeld said. Now, with the roster set, the Eagles’ goal for the season is a lofty one – a division championship and a return to the post-season. Neufeld knows winning the six-team Mainland Division will be a tough one, especially with the addition of the Wenatchee Wild, but figures his group will be up to the task. For starters, simply avoiding any lengthy slumps – last year, the team lost 16 straight at one

point – will help keep the team in contention. “We’re not taking anything for granted. We know the division is going to be a very tough one, but the wins are going to come.

Surrey football player will suit up Sunday with NFL team

Covington makes cut with Houston Texans Rick Kupchuk Black Press

The gamble has paid off for Christian Covington. The Surrey native opted into the National Football League draft last spring, opting not to play a fourth season with the Rice Owls of the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association). Four months later, the six-foottwo, 289-pound defensive lineman has cracked the roster of an NFL team, and Sunday afternoon will be on the field for the Houston Texans when they host the Kansas City Chiefs in the first game of the 2015 season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dream come true, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m taking it in right now,â&#x20AC;? Covington told the Houston Chronicle after learning he had made the team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be satisfied. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to the journey that lies ahead. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to be on that field come Sunday.â&#x20AC;? After a high school career with the Vancouver College Fighting Irish, Covington â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a Newton native

THE ACURA PERFORMANCE

Houston Texans photo

Christian Covington takes on a Dallas Cowboy offensive lineman during an NFL preseason game with the Houston Texans earlier this month. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; spent four years south of the border playing university football for the Rice Owls in Houston. After sustaining a serious knee

injury seven games into last season, he decided to enter the NFL draft and not play a final year with the Owls.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a hard decision for me,â&#x20AC;? Covington, 21, told Black Press in April, acknowledging some had questioned his choice of turning pro early. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Going into the (Hawaii) Bowl, it was my understanding I was probably going back to Rice for my fifth year. But once I was able to get away from football and school life, I took that time to come and settle down, be with my family, and think about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best for me. I thought this was an opportunity to capture a dream Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had since I was a little kid.â&#x20AC;? Selected in the sixth round by the Texans, Covington headed to camp in July hoping to crack the 53-man roster. He played in all four preseason games, improving in each outing. He totalled 10 tackles, including five in the final game last Thursday in Dallas against the Cowboys. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a risk coming out early, especially with the injury that I had,â&#x20AC;? said Covington. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It turned out for the best.â&#x20AC;?

The Texans have listed Covington as second on the depth chart at the nose tackle position for Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game against Kansas City, behind veteran Vince Wilfork, a five-time Pro Bowl selection and two-time Super Bowl champion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the 3-4 defence, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little bit undersized for the nose position,â&#x20AC;? said Texans head coach Bill Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien of Covington. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But he made a lot of plays. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very active, he gets off blocks, great kid. You talk about a hard-working, really good, mature beyond his years type of kid.â&#x20AC;? With four preseason games and the pressure of trying to make the team now behind him, Covington is going to enjoy his first regular season game as a National Football League player. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve wanted for a long time,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To finally see one of my dreams come true, it was a real good feeling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy to finally see that day come.â&#x20AC;?

Style has never had this much substance. V i s i t A c u r a o f L a n g l e y t o d a y t o f i n d o u t w h y.

Ron was a pioneer farmer that loved his family and farming life and was eager to see how tall his corn would grow each year. He is survived by his wife of 64 years Elizabeth (Betty), children Gayle (Mike), Randy (Jackie), Lorraine, grandchildren Matt (Lindsay), Daniel (Val), Casey (Meghan), Will (Shannon), Kelsey (Chris). Mark (Karen), Paige, Nathanael and 13 great grandchildren. Open house will be held on Saturday, Sept 12, 2015 from 2 to 4 at the farm 13975-40th Ave, Surrey.

SHEILA DOREEN CONTOIS (formerly Waddell, nee Craiggs) 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.
