South Campbell Heights examined for locations for business park

Ecological area eyed for development Kevin Diakiw Black Press

A pristine area in South Surrey, teeming with fish and at-risk species of wildlife, is being examined for development potential as a future business park. South Campbell Heights, near 16 Avenue and 192 Street, is more than half the size of Vancouver’s Stanley Park and is abundant with salmon, 100-year-old trees, an

immense aquifer and many animals, including 13 species considered at risk. The 245-hectare (600-acre) expanse of land is roughly bordered by 8 Avenue to the south, 20 Avenue to the north, 188 Street to the west and Langley border (196 Street) to the east. It has been identified in several City of Surrey documents as an ecologically sensitive area. The particularly sensitive area south of 16 Avenue is called a “Special Study Area”

Q rally for mayor to resign

Staff Reporter

It was an evening full of surprises, outbursts and calls for the mayor’s resignation at White Rock city council Monday, as the Metro Vancouver Regional Growth Strategy (RGS) took centre stage before an overflow crowd at council chambers. One of the biggest revelations, that appeared to take many on council by surprise, was Metro’s proposed amendments – outlined at meetings in July – to the population projections laid out in the RGS, which would cut White Rock’s intake in half from 7,000 to 3,500 new residents by 2041. The issue of the RGS has been much-debated in the community in recent weeks, since Mayor Wayne Baldwin wrote a public letter to Peace Arch News stating the

The study indicates the area includes tree stands between 50 and 100 years old, which “dominate the forested landscape.” Some of those trees are 100 centimetres (more than three feet) in diameter at chest height. The study also notes there are 13 at-risk wildlife species identified in the area, including the Pacific water shrew, Trowbridge’s shrew and two species of bat. i see page 2

which is defined as “an area where future land planning is projected, potentially leading to land use changes.” An environmental study commissioned by the city this year indicates the area is home to the Brookswood Aquifer which is “highly vulnerable to contamination.” The study notes the aquifer is “nearing or at (development) capacity” to provide domestic water “without decreasing the water table.”

Q councillors trade shots city was “required by provincial law” to follow the RGS and “take its share of the forecast growth within the region.” The amendments – as well as how the RGS aligns with the city’s Official Community Plan, currently under review – were discussed at length by Allan Neilson, Metro Vancouver’s general manager of planning, policy and environment. Neilson described the RGS as a “high-level vision piece” that identifies how the region will accommodate growth over the next 25 years. i see page 4

i from page 1 The expanse of land is just south of the Campbell Heights Business Park, which began development in 2003. The David Suzuki Foundation described that development as one of the worst examples of salmon habitat destruction in the province. The large area south of 16 Avenue includes the Little Campbell River, which is home to several varieties of salmonids. Surrey staff say the area is being considered for an expansion of the business park or industrial uses. Deb Jack, president of the Surrey Environmental Partners (SEP), said Monday her group is deeply troubled by the plan to pave the way for development in South Campbell Heights. “We are very concerned and have been concerned from the outset,” Jack told Black Press. At one time, SEP recommended to council the city create “living legacy parks” in Surrey. Campbell Heights was the only location specified by the environmental watchdog. Those concerned about the streams are particularly unnerved by the development plan. Roy Strang, with the Little Campbell River Watershed Society, said he had no idea a Local Area Plan for the South Campbell was in the works. He urges the city to go back to basics and examine why the area needs to be considered for construction of any kind. “I’m skeptical,” Strang said. “They better ask themselves, do they have to develop?

development? Just to broaden their tax base?” Mayor Linda Hepner said Monday some areas of the plan need to be protected, while others don’t have huge environmental values. One area in the lands, near 176 Street, she said is an old gravel pit, and is probably ripe for development. “But in discussion with the Little Campbell River folk, there are some concerns about areas in there you would never touch, and I expect that will be what happens within the Local Area Plan analysis,” Hepner said. “But there are some areas that I think will prove valuable for us to achieve a couple of other elements,” Hepner said, adding that would likely take the form of industrial development. A report was received by city council, with little discussion Monday, evening other than Coun. Tom Gill suggesting the area might be suitable for truck parking. City staff are to now bring the plan to the public through several consultation sessions. That process is expected to be completed by spring of 2017.

Manslaughter plea

Two new faces to join race in South Surrey-White Rock

Murder charges dropped

Change in wind for candidates

Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A lack of “good evidence” in the case against two men charged in the home-invasion death of Corey Bennett two years ago in South Surrey has resulted in one pleading guilty to a lesser offence, and charges against the other being abandoned. “It just really was a reassessment of the evidence that we have,” prosecutor David Simp- Corey Bennett victim kin explained last week of the evolution of charges against Donald James Chad Jr. to manslaughter from murder. “This isn’t something that happened overnight.” Chad was facing trial for murder in B.C. Supreme Court in connection with Bennett’s November 2013 death. Bennett, 44, was pronounced dead in hospital following a latenight incident that police described as a “targeted home invasion” at a house in the 2600-block of King George Boulevard. Chad and co-accused Mathieu Rene Bernard were arrested about two weeks later; Bernard was charged with manslaughter. Both men were also charged with “where a firearm is used in the commission.” Simpkin said the charges against Bernard were stayed outright “a couple months ago.” Chad, who has been in custody since his arrest, pleaded guilty to manslaughter using a firearm – along with a second firearm offence – on Aug. 21. As a result of the plea, the murder charge against Chad was stayed in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster earlier this month. Simpkin said both police and Bennett’s family were involved in the decision, which he described as “the right thing to do.” Sentencing submissions are to be heard Nov. 10 in Surrey.

There is a new face on the South SurreyWhite Rock federal campaign trail – and the likelihood of another, in the wake of the resignation last week by Liberal candidate Joy Davies, embroiled in controversy over promarijuana Facebook posts. The Libertarian Party of Canada – which also supports the legalization of cannabis and ending the ‘war on drugs’ as part of its campaign platform – has announced the candidacy of South Surrey resident Bonnie Hu in the riding. The 22 year-old, a 2015 business administration graduate of Seneca College in Ontario, told Peace Arch News she is motivated to run for the party because she believes in “less government involvement in people’s lives,” and has also been inspired by the presence of “young and involved

candidates” in Greater Vancouver. A new candidate was also expected to be named Tuesday by the Liberal riding association to run in place of Davies, although by PAN press time no announcement had been made. Davies – a longtime medical-marijuana advocate – resigned after controversy erupted over past Facebook posts in which she asserted that smoking marijuana was not harmful for pregnant women, and that being around marijuana in the home was not harmful to children. In a resignation statement sent through Twitter and Facebook Thursday, Davies said she is dropping out of the race because she believes “my personal opinion and past comments should not distract from what is most important right now – ensuring all Canadians receive the real change and new leadership they deserve.” Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau had stated prior

to Davies’ resignation that while the party advocates marijuana legalization, it needs to be controlled and regulated to protect children. Prime Minister Stephen Harper, campaigning for the Conservatives in New Brunswick last week, said Davies’ comments were indicative of what he termed Trudeau’s “irresponsibility” in “advocacy for the full legalization of marijuana.” Conservative candidate Dianne Watts reiterated Monday that it is “irresponsible to suggest in any way, shape or form that it is all right for pregnant women to use drugs,” or for children to be around marijuana use. “It’s not something that the community supports, for sure.” Hu, however, said her Libertarian platform includes “removing victimless crimes from the Criminal Code.” “We want to legalize cannabis and decriminalize all other drugs,” she told PAN.

Details on whether anyone was in danger where the “explosive device” came from have not been made public by either the RCMP or city hall.

‘Explosive device’ brought into police detachment

City hall, RCMP building evacuated White Rock’s RCMP detachment and nearby city hall was evacuated Thursday morning, after an “explosive device” was brought into the detachment. While neither the RCMP nor city officials have issued a public statement on the evacuation, an RCMP spokesperson spoke to a local photojournalist at the scene. “We had a gentleman bring in an explosive device into the detachment this morning,” RCMP Const. Shaileshni Molison told videographer Gary Hanney Thursday. “As a pre-

cautionary measure, we have evacuated the detachment and have our explosives unit coming to examine the item and make sure that it’s safe to return to our building.” Molison said “approximately 20” people were evacuated from the police detachment, and estimated about the same number were affected in city hall. A sign reading “Do Not Enter: The building is under evacuation” was posted on the RCMP detachment door Thursday. “The lesson would be, if you do come across

something that you’re not sure about – something you might think is an explosive device, or anything of concern – please do not touch it. Contact the police and we’ll attend and make sure it’s safe for everyone,” Molison told Hanney. No further information on the evacuation – including details regarding the device – was available, as neither Molison nor White Rock city manager Dan Bottrill returned calls by Peace Arch News’ press deadline Tuesday. – Nick Greenizan

Protect the vulnerable

scam involving phone calls from people falsely claiming to be from the Canada Revenue Agency recently hit seniors on Vancouver Island. But the fraud – an aggressive patter alleging that have been found in arrears with the CRA and have to pay up or face arrest or deportation – is one that could just as easily victimize seniors on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. We routinely field calls from members of the public who have either been targeted by such a scam, or know someone who has. And in some cases it’s too late to prevent compromised banking information or loss of funds. Any of us can be the victim of a phone scam fraud, but the lowlifes who specialize in this sort of crime like, best of all, to victimize the elderly. It’s not just because of the frailties of mind and body that come to us all with age. Many seniors are savvy enough to be aware and protect themselves in most situations. But they are vulnerable – many are lonely and isolated and when the phone rings they may be eager to engage. Criminals rely on loneliness, isolation and lack of information for their exploitive schemes to be effective. It’s hard to imagine anyone stooping low enough to victimize seniors in this way. But because there are criminals out there, we have to pay extra attention to protecting the most vulnerable in our society. It’s one thing for family to have a chat with Mom or Dad to warn them about such things – which every relative of a vulnerable senior ought to do. But a large segment of seniors have no relatives handy to provide such warnings. Keeping our seniors safe from these and other crimes is everybody’s responsibility. After families, the police and the media have done what they can, there is still a gap in communication that can be hard to fill. Anyone involved in sales, promotion and advertising knows – even in the age of the Internet – that word of mouth is the gold standard of spreading information. The most effective way to protect our seniors from fraud is to talk with them, to make sure they have safe spaces where they are included and woven into the social fabric. Criminals rely on loneliness, isolation and lack of information for their exploitive schemes to be effective. Fighting crime is not just the responsibility of the police. We all need to participate in creating a society where exploitation is not just difficult, but almost impossible.

and she objected to protests from outsiders, some from outside the country. “Sustainability means standing on our own two feet, providing our young people with good paying jobs, and reducing the 40 to 60 per cent unemployment we now experience,” Ogen said. Haisla Nation Chief Councillor Ellis Ross has no time for crude oil projects, but he has been working towards gasrelated development as long as anyone. Ross spoke out in support of the elected Wet’suwet’en chiefs in their efforts to resolve the dispute with Unist’ot’en members. “Opposition is the easiest job in the world,” he said. “What is difficult is finding an answer when a First Nations mother has concerns about her child’s future. Politicians are quick to shout out sound bites and get into camera shots, but where are the cameras when another First Nations member takes their own life or when they pass away from highway/ alcohol related deaths?” Ross noted that recent court decisions have put B.C. aboriginal leaders in the best position they have ever had, with governments and development project proponents coming to them “with inclusion in mind” after decades of resource development that has passed them by. You wouldn’t know it most days, but First Nations along both the Coastal GasLink and Pacific Trails gas pipelines have agreed to them. More aboriginal leaders are getting tired of managing poverty, and misguided protesters. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Overseas crisis is our concern Editor: I am alarmed with how our Canadian government has addressed – or more accurately, not addressed – the Iraqi/Syria migrants/refugees crisis for such a very long time. Suddenly, with the scene of the young boy lying at the edge of the Aegean Sea, this tragedy is being noticed. Why is it, and has it, taken so long for the Western World to take some action? And, now that they have, could we not speed up the process, or does our government not have the will? Sadly, I have noted that the current migrants seeking asylum in Germany and Austria appear to be families with babies and young children, and behind these families, a majority of healthy fit young men. Where are the women? Have they been left in camps in Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan, or were they left in Syria? What is happening to these women and girls? Have they been left to the horrors of ISIS? Christina MacLellan, White Rock Q The photograph of the toddler, Alan Kurdi, lying dead on the beach in Turkey, has caused many over the past two weeks to ask how they can help refugees fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria. I am writing to encourage people to be the change they want to see in the world. There are many ways to help people in need at home in our communities and abroad. The best way to help refugees abroad is to donate money to reputable organizations that are already on the ground providing assistance, such as the UNHCR, the Red Cross, Medecins Sans Frontieres and UNICEF. Alternatively, you may wish to support local organizations who help settle refugees, such as DIVERSEcity and MOSAIC. At Crescent United Church, we have sponsored refugees over the years from Colombia, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Iraq, Eritrea, and El Salvador. In response to the war in Syria, we are working on a joint refugee sponsorship amongst the three United Churches on Semiahmoo Peninsula and the White Rock Muslim Association. The White Rock Rotary Club has also provided support for this sponsorship. Contact the offices at First United Church (604-531-4850) or Crescent United Church (604-535-1166) if you want more information on how to help. You may be surprised by what you receive in return. Peter Jones, Crescent United Church

Step-by-step cost of growth Editor: Re: White Rock suffers growing pains, Sept. 9 letters. Growing pains is always a twostep procedure. Step one is when a builder or

politician points out the advantages of city growth so that the tax burden is spread over a greater population. Step two is when you are told the population growth now requires more services, such as fire and police, schools, street maintenance and other services. Naturally, you must expect your taxes to go up. Richard Bradley, White Rock

Underfunding out of spotlight Editor: Re: Band members ‘disheartened’ by pay, Aug. 19. It’s not easy for Semiahmoo band members to criticize their chief and council.

They run the risk of being BCR’d – band council resolution – such as being put last on the list for aid, or even expelled from the reserve. Yet for band members to ignore internal inequalities risks perpetuating injustices such as poor health, lack of proper sanitation and potable water and the suffering of women, elders and the disabled. Non-aboriginals may ask how did it happen that some Semiahmoo people are living in sub-standard conditions? Due to yearly audits, Ottawa knows exactly how much money the Semiahmoo have. But on the ground, band leadership has a significant impact. In his book, Bad Medicine, John Reilly examined the Stoney Indian Reserve of Alberta and its dysfunctions. Reilly concluded that the lack of effective social programs was due to the tribal elite that “took all the money for themselves and didn’t give a damn about the people.” Band members could try to appeal to the Department of Indian Affairs, but the fact is federal strategy is to discourage development on reserves. Indeed, Ottawa indirectly encourages chiefs and councils to indulge in corruption and nepotism, which has the further effect of moving the spotlight away from governmental underfunding of reserve infrastructure. Part of the challenge for the Semiahmoo people is to ensure their leadership is imbued with principles such as ‘pashtamowin’, which mandates everyone in the group is treated with respect, kindness, and consideration.

Redwood ‘fairy houses’ flourished, but many meet untimely demise (below).

Once-delightful idea Editor: Re: Mystery in the woods, Sept. 9. I am writing about the picture on page 16 in Wednesday’s paper. The birdhouses that you are referring to are supposedly fairy houses. In days gone by, a devoted patron of the park placed a fairy door discreetly at the base of a tree. Over the years, people had come to admire the fairy door and enjoyed looking for it because of its discreet placement. Indeed, over the years it became vandalized. From this, the rage of fairy houses began. These fairy houses are now being attached to the trees by nails, staples and 2½-inch screws. I have witnessed adults climb up the trees with cork boots and belt, put screws in live trees to hang their fairy houses beyond any height of what a child could reach or see.

By looking at one of the pictures I have provided (below), the grounds of Redwood Park are littered with falling-apart fairy houses, which takes away from the concept. The “Mystery in the Woods” is no mystery; it is indeed ‘a fairy wonderland’ gone ‘fairy ghetto land.’ The once-delightful little fairy houses have now multiplied and dilapidated into a mass of debris.

Editor: Re: Time to think when left in the dark, Sept. 4 letters. Thank you to the letter writer who wrote in regarding the abundance of overhead wires in the White Rock area. I have to agree wholeheartedly with his views. Perhaps not everyone is aware that 90 per cent of all new construction on the hillside must have a 30-foot electrical pole in their front yard. How lovely. At this rate, soon it will look like Thailand or Vietnam with more and more wires. In my opinion, why not call it the ‘City of Wires’ instead of ‘City by the Sea’? It is getting harder and harder to see the water. It seems to me that city council and the planning committee do not have a vision for the future. At this rate, the next big storm may put even more people without power, cable, Internet and telephones. There is one hope at least, as I came across the planned capital projects from the 2013-2017 Financial Plan, which states “install underground wiring on Marine Drive.” I sure hope that comes true, as it would certainly improve our beautiful waterfront.

One-third contributions from Ottawa were widely expected

Leaders pledge for light rail Jeff Nagel Black Press

Federal parties are racing to pledge support for rapid transit, particularly in seat-rich Surrey, where city council continues to push its plan for light rail lines. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau said Thursday the Surrey lines, Vancouver’s Broadway subway and more SeaBus service would likely get federal contributions from an extra $20 billion his party is pledging for public transit over 10 years. Prime Minister Stephen Harper had been expected to unveil Conservative commitments for transit a week earlier at a campaign event in Surrey – alongside formermayor-turned-Tory-candidate Dianne Watts – until the announcement was bumped by the Syrian-refugee crisis. But support for transit from Ottawa has never been a big question mark for Metro Vancouver mayors. They’ve assumed one-third federal contributions for the rapid transit projects will come regardless of which party wins. Unless a federal leader offers more than one third – and none has so far – the big roadblock to new transit lines will remain this summer’s referendum defeat by Metro voters of a small sales tax

City of Surrey image

A light-rail option considered by the City of Surrey. hike to cover the region’s onethird share of transit expansion. Surrey is still aiming to advance its $2.1-billion light rail project as a P3. But it has yet to produce a business case. And it remains unclear how the city’s taxpayers would eventually repay costs financed by a private partner. Nor is there any sign of a new deal afoot between the mayors and the province to deliver an additional TransLink tax source and get the new lines built as part of a coordinated regional

transit plan. The campaign promises stacking up for the Vancouver and Surrey lines are likely to remain vague, leaving many questions unanswered after Oct. 19. One is whether the Surrey project will definitely be ground-level light rail instead of elevated SkyTrain. SkyTrain, at least down Fraser Highway, would allow a faster, seamless ride without transfer to the rest of the system for passengers boarding in Langley and Cloverdale. It would be more costly up front, however, and is resisted by Surrey politicians who say light rail better connects residents to local destinations. Also unclear is the timing of federal grants – could that delay or help accelerate construction? Then there’s the question of where federal grants might actually flow. To TransLink, possibly conditional on a broader regional transit solution? Or to Surrey and Vancouver to cover just their Plan B schemes? The devil will be in the details. For now, upbeat transit funding promises offer no surprises and no breakthrough to the impasse left by the failed referendum.

Nabors’ youngest son said he thinks of his mom every day. “It hurts so much that she is gone. You have no idea,” he said. “Now I am lost.” Bains pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the death of Saran and to two counts of seconddegree murder for Nabors’ and Lyons’ deaths, each which carries a mandatory life sentence. Justice Miriam Maisonville will decide Sept. 30 whether sentences are to be served consecutively. Bains, wearing a red prisonissue jumpsuit and with his head down for most of the day-long hearing, later read an apology. “I can’t ask you to forgive me because I can’t forgive myself and I sure as hell don’t deserve it,” he said. “I cut these lives short and robbed you of your loved ones.

Sarbjit Bains’ victims: Amritpal Saran, Jill Lyons and Karen Nabors. and received a two-year conditional sentence.) At the time of arrest, Bains was also charged in the August 2013 deaths of Lyons, 45, and Nabors, 48. The women, both neighbours in the same apartment complex, were killed 13 days apart. The court heard that Bains intended to rob the women, who advertised as escorts, and ended up choking them both to death. In a statement read in court, Sheri Hickman said she adopted Lyons in 1968; it was “love at first sight.” She remembered when her husband told her of Lyons’ death. “He said ‘it’s Jill’ and I knew she was gone,” recalled Hickman, noting her daughter became addicted to drugs following surgery but was hoping to turn her life around. “That day, all hope was taken away from me... all belief in the goodness of the human race.”

SUN SHOWERS

“Look up, Bains,” Simrit Saran said after taking the stand. She wanted her brother’s killer to see her face as she tried to express how his death affected her family. Simrit was delivering her victimimpact statement in B.C. Supreme Court Thursday at the sentencing hearing for Sarbjit Bains, 33, who admitted in April to killing 29-year-old Amritpal Saran in Surrey in February 2013, and Karen Nabors and Jill Lyons in New Westminster six months later. Simrit asked Bains to imagine having to look at a mother’s eyes every day, knowing her eldest son had been killed – “I will never forgive you,” she said. Moments earlier, mother Jatinder faced Bains to express the unbearable loss of losing a child. She said that since the murder, her world turned upside-down. “I can’t smile the way I used to. I can’t feel the way I used to,” Jatinder said through tears. “Part of me is gone without my Amrit.” The family placed framed photos of Amrit in front of Bains, seated in the prisoner’s box. Amritpal Saran’s charred body was found 2½ years ago on a secluded section of Surrey’s Colebrook Road. The court heard that Bains and his girlfriend, Evelina Urbaniak, were drinking and doing cocaine with Saran on the night he was killed. Urbaniak went to bed., and when Bains left the room briefly, he said, he returned to find Saran naked in her bedroom. It was then, the court heard, that “something just snapped.” Bains put a fatal choke hold around Saran’s neck. While Urbaniak wanted to call police, the pair instead purchased plastic containers and gasoline and disposed of Saran’s body by the roadside. A woman teaching her grandson to drive discovered the burned corpse. It was nearly a year before Bains and Urbaniak were arrested. (Urbaniak pleaded guilty earlier this year to interfering with a dead body

such as a need to attend medical appointments at the same time as the day program is offered. Mackenzie isn’t suggesting government-paid substitutes can replace volunteer caregivers, most of whom are spouses or other relatives, but says they should have more opportunities to take a break. “Caregivers do it all,” she said. “Sometimes it is as simple as driving mum to the doctor’s office.

Canuck twins launch Clubhouse 36, an out-of-school program to provide opportunities to inner-city children

Sedins aim to help Surrey students succeed Sheila Reynolds Black Press

Evan Seal photo

Vancouver Canucks player Henrik Sedin, right, with his brother, Daniel looking on, helps Holly Elementary Grade 5 student Jessie Nystrom build a flashlight during the official launch of Clubhouse 36.

Vulnerable children in Surrey are scoring big after a visit from a couple of Canucks on Monday afternoon. Twins Henrik and Daniel Sedin were at Holly Elementary to help officially launch Clubhouse 36, a program that provides inner-city students aged six to 12 with afterschool and school break activities they might not normally be able to access. The Sedin Family Foundation, Surrey School District and YMCA of Greater Vancouver launched the program, with support from founding sponsors Westland Insurance, the Robert L. Conconi Foundation, Bosa Properties Foundation, as well as BMO and Canucks for Kids Fund. Clubhouse 36 was piloted at Holly, as well as two other Surrey elementary schools – Georges Vanier in Newton and Lena Shaw also in North Surrey – in July. More than 170 children at those schools had the chance to try archery, fishing, robot-building and other activities during summer

vacation. Programming at the Surrey schools will continue to be offered to 80 students two days per week after school, and full-day activities will be available during spring and summer breaks to as many as 150 children. Lunch and breakfast is also provided. The goal is to “build the confidence and self-esteem of at-risk and vulnerable students through social, emotional, life, sport, art, leadership and academic learning in a structured out-ofschool environment.” Daniel Sedin said it’s important that classroom learning is enriched with interesting, fun and safe activities outside of school. “For young children … school is the centre of their daily activity. Offering Clubhouse 36 in partnership with the YMCA in community schools makes it as accessible as possible for students and their families.” Clubhouse 36 will be co-staffed by Surrey Schools and the YMCA, and volunteers from local high schools will also provide support. Students are identified to

participate by school staff and take part in programs free of charge. Henrik said he and his brother had the opportunity to take part in after-school activities growing up and wanted to help provide those experiences to other children. “The four of us all grew up in a small town in Sweden and community was really important to our families,” he said referring to he and his brother and their wives. “It is inspiring for us to see how Clubhouse 36 is already impacting the lives of students and their families in the Surrey community.” The hope is that Clubhouse 36 can eventually be expanded to other schools. Currently, 36 of Surrey’s 120 public schools are designated inner city, based on factors such as low average income, single parent and refugee families and number of children in government care. Shawn Wilson, chair of the Surrey school board, was pleased to see obstacles to learning and success being removed. “It is heartening to see the community coming together for families,” he said.

Customers attend this year’s farmers’ market.

Boost for market With an eye towards boosting awareness of the White Rock Farmers’ Market, organizers of the Sunday market have received a boost from the provincial government. Last week, the White Rock Farmers’ Market Society announced it was set to launch a new advertising campaign thanks to $12,225 in funding received through the B.C. government’s Buy Local program. The campaign will combine traditional and social media, according to a news release issued Friday,

and would be aimed and new and returning customers, alike. Since 2012, the Buy Local program has aimed to increase sales of locally grown food throughout the province. “Increasing awareness of these markets will benefit the local economy, create jobs and allow communities to thrive and succeed. I encourage everyone to discover their local farmers’ markets and taste the flavours B.C. has to offer,” SurreyWhite Rock MLA Gordon Hogg said in the release.

Victory Memorial Park Presents a Formal Affair

Tajinder Singh Aujla first Sikh to guard war memorial

‘It’s my way of life, to serve’ Evan Seal Black Press

Cpl. Tajinder Singh Aujla’s life is dedicated to service and the Surrey resident wears two uniforms to prove it. For the last month, Aujla, 36, has been serving as a Ceremonial Guard in Ottawa standing watch at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the Canadian National War Memorial – the first baptized Sikh to do so. Not only is Aujla a devout Sikh – sporting the five Ks or Sikh articles of faith (kachera, kara, kangha, kirpan and kesh) – he has also been a reservist with the 39th Brigade, Royal Westminster Regiment for the last four years, honing his skills in the infantry. According to Aujla, both Sikhism and the military require a high level of discipline, something he feels has helped keep his life in balance. The tomb is to remember all soldiers lost in war, he said, “but what happened last year to Nathan Cirillo… he was one of our brothers, so this place is even more dear to us.” On Oct. 22, 2014, Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, a 24-year-old Canadian soldier, was on ceremonial sentry duty at the memorial when a gunman fatally shot him. A few months ago, Aujla applied to a posting for honour guards at the site on the bulletin board at his regiment in New Westminster, and he was one of four applicants from his regiment selected for the three-week duty. “The response has been overwhelming,” he said. “Canada is so

great-uncle served in the Indian army. And although Aujla has family at home in Surrey, he feels a sense of extended family being part of the military.

“The military is all about brotherhood. We look out for each other, we have to,” he said. “It’s my way of life, to serve. I don’t drink, I’m always on duty. It’s the life I have chosen.”

Fall H ME & GARDEN

Solar power and other alternative energy sources gain popularity

Harnessing the power of the sun With the rising price of utility bills – not to mention the volatility of said utilities, as evidenced by Lower Mainland windstorms earlier this month – more and more homeowners are turning to alternative energy. That doesn’t mean said homeowners – even ones who choose to live “off the grid” – have hunkered down in a cabin with nothing but a campfire and gas lanterns for heat. It simply means they’ve chosen to avoid fossil fuels and turn to cleaner, alternative energy sources in their daily lives. Solar power is a popular option for many, which for some can mean installation of solar panels on their home, and for others, it can be as simple as using a solar space heater. Solar space heaters are similar to other space heaters, except they harness the sun’s rays, rather than relying on gas or electricity. “They are the only fireproof space heater… it’s cost-effective, safe and easy to use,” said

Kyle McGauchie of South Surrey-based Solar Infra Systems, which manufactures solarheating products. Such products can also heat homes during power outages or situations in which conventional energy sources are out of service. “We like to think of ourselves as an emergency preparedness product,” McGauchie said. Whether solar or wind-powered, alternative energy – and the idea of living off the grid in general – is growing in popularity and people look to reduce their carbon footprint become more environmentally friendly. Such technology is also popular among those living in remote areas – including cabins and other rural settings – that are not as easily serviced by utility companies. There can also be significant cost savings, as home owners untie themselves from monthly heating and electric bills.

Wilder, less-structured landscaping provides a more natural look to a garden.

Unstructured landscaping gaining popularity

Let your garden grow For a long time there has been a onesize-fits-all approach toward to outdoor gardening and landscaping aesthetics. But while structure and tidiness still appeal to many, others are leaning toward perennials and native plants – even wildflowers – to provide a natural, unstructured gardens. “A lot of people really like perennials and they really lend themselves to more of an unstructured meadow look – what some people call a “cottage garden,” said Miles Hunter, general manager of David Hunter Garden Centres. “Landscape architects are finding that people who live in tighter, urban settings are learning to appreciate the benefits of the ‘meadow’ approach,” he said. “Perennials such as echinacea, rudbeckia (coneflowers and black-eyed susans) and daylilies are going to flower on a repeat basis and they provide a good ground for pollination – they’re bee-friendly and they also encourage humming birds and butterflies.”

A lot of native plants, including flowering currants, also attract such pollinators as well as providing early-season flowers, while native evergreens such as wintergreen and salal provide attractive leaf cover yearround, flowers in the summer and berries in the winter, While both new and longtime gardeners are drawn to the appeal of a more lowmaintenance ecological approach, one that relies more on environmentally-friendly fertilizers, soils and pest-control products, some planning is necessary, Hunter said. “Planting in odd numbers can make for a more natural look, but it’s important to plan for height so that shorter plants won’t be hidden behind taller ones,” he said. Low maintenance, of course, is not the same thing as no maintenance. “You will need to do some fall and spring clean-up, composting and fertilizing and you do need to water, although once a perennial garden establishes root systems over the first year or two it will need less water in the long run.”

Canadian Cancer Society blames drop in donations, volunteers

Free-ride program ditched Jeff Nagel Black Press

The Canadian Cancer Society will stop operating its Volunteer Driver Program that for years has given patients free rides to and from chemotherapy and radiation treatment in many B.C. communities. The society says declines in donations and volunteers have forced the end of the service, which cost $400,000 a year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had to make the really difficult decision to close the program effective Oct. 6,â&#x20AC;? said Sandra Krueckl, vice-president of cancer control for the Canadian Cancer Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s B.C. and Yukon division. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donor dollars have been shrinking in recent years,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding the cancer society has felt the same stresses as many other charities, including a slide in how many hours volunteers are now willing to commit out of their increasingly busy lives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As our current volunteers are retiring out of their current volunteer roles, we are not seeing

per kilometre for gas and wearand-tear. Other transportation alternatives exist in most communities, Krueckl said, adding demand for rides had been declining. She stressed that the Freemasons Cancer Car Program, a separate ride service that the cancer society is a partner in, is unaffected and will continue to operate. The society asked the province, which already contributes to the operations of its cancer lodges, to provide more funding to support the ride program, but was declined. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While they certainly were sympathetic to our situation and understood our declining revenue situation and challenges with supporting this program in the future, they have competing priorities,â&#x20AC;? Krueckl said. The loss of the cancer society program will be felt mainly in some parts of Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley and Vancouver Island, she added. The cancer society is advising clients on what other ride services may be available in each area. They can call 1-888-9393333.

Library cards a $600 value, report states Surrey Libraries’ fourth-annual Literacy Day report reveals that the average cardholder realizes more than $600 in value with their free library card. The information is part of new research presented in last week’s report, which demonstrates the benefits of the library in the community. Key facts in the report include: • The total value of benefit provided by Surrey Libraries to the community in 2014 was about $111.4 million; • on average, Surrey Libraries cardholders realized a benefit of $610 each; • an average cardholder visits the library 43 times and borrows 24 items; • traditional print items like books and magazines are still the number one material accessed by cardholders at the library; • on average, Surrey residents spend 113,500 hours per week using library resources and facilities. “These numbers are a sign of the important place of libraries in Surrey and the role they play in providing for so many of our society’s needs,” said Surrey Libraries chief librarian Melanie Houlden.

“With a wide range of reading materials in many languages… programs for kids and adults... and free Wi-Fi and access to computers, it’s no surprise that the value of a Surrey Libraries card has been calculated at $610.” Surrey Libraries board chair Linda Stromberg said the bulk of the library’s funding – about 95 per cent – comes from public sources, totalling $16 million dollars in the past year. “I am, therefore, particularly happy to see that for every dollar in public funding Surrey Libraries receives, our branches provide $7 in value to patrons,” she said. The 2015 Literacy Day report was launched at the City Centre branch Sept. 8, where Surrey Board of Trade CEO Anita Huberman also announced a special breakfast focusing on literacy and the business community on Sept. 16 at the Eaglequest Golf Course. Surrey Libraries also announced that it had met and surpassed its 2014 Get Carded campaign goal of 20,000 new cardholders, with 21,112 new members joining Surrey Libraries in the past year.

be free-spirited. What do we do, though, if our teenaged children don't identify with the social milieu of their high school, where they spend most of their days. One proven solution to this problem is sport. For shy young people, registering for an extracurricular sport activity can be a great way to make friends and belong to a group. Especially for those who have academic difficulties, it is an opportunity to feel personal satisfaction in an area where they can succeed. For those who have energy to spare and who have trouble sitting for hours at a time, sports are the perfect outlet. For kids who have more couch-potato tendencies, sport is a great way to integrate a physical activity into their lives and to improve their health. For teens who don't like any aspect of school, passion for a sport can help them tough it out for the duration. Whatever the case, wearing their school's team sweater for basketball, soccer, or volleyball is a way to develop a feeling of belonging, crucial to the happiness and academic success of children. Young people will forget an unpopular teacher or interminable math homework with time, but they will never forget the memories of bus trips to competitions, living the highs and lows together with team mates, and the thrill of competition.

Sometimes turning 50 has its perks. Like getting your very own song. It may have taken a halfcentury of survival, but SFUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longevity is finally something to sing about. Engage the World was announced as the winning song in the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 50th Anniversay Legacy Song contest. Composed by Surreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brett Janzen and Richmondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Caleb Sung, the song was among six finalists chosen from 35 entries. A panel of students, faculty, alumni and staff chose the winner. While Sung is a fourth-year business student at SFU, a singer, composer and pianist, his friend Janzen is a professional musician, producer and composer. They spent about a week on the song. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were elated to win the contest. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great milestone just before I graduate next spring,â&#x20AC;? said Sung, adding he and Janzen were inspired by the anthem-like

In this age of technology, almost everyone has some type of digital or electronic asset, whether it be an email, Facebook or iCloud account, photos stored on the Internet, purchased music / movies / ebooks, or a Paypal or ebank account with online statements. Once a person has passed, their executor or family is left to deal with the digital assets of the person along with any physical assets. In Canada, there is no law that allows executors access to the deceased personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s digital assets. The executorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s access will depend upon the service providerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Terms and Conditions as per the original agreement accepted by the now deceased person. These Terms and Conditions can differ for each service provider. For example, the licenses for iTunes songs and Kindle ebooks downloaded by the deceased is non-transferable and the account is automatically cancelled. Some service providers may allow you to set up an inactive account manager. The inactive account manager would be notiĂ&#x20AC;ed if the account is not used for an extended period of time and they may be permitted to download or transfer the contents of the account. It is in your best interest to regularly back up the contents of your digital accounts and keep that copy in a secure location where your executor has access to it. In addition, to simplify your executorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job, it is recommended that you compile a list of your digital assets, their user names, account numbers, passwords and answers to security questions. For more detailed explanations, we recommend you consult your lawyer.

Head coach optimistic despite team’s offensive struggles

Eagles drop two on opening weekend Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Despite losing both games of a BC Hockey League opening-weekend homestand, the Surrey Eagles remain a confident – and competent – bunch. So says head coach Blaine Neufeld, who chalked up his team’s losses – 6-3 to the Langley Rivermen Friday night at South Surrey Arena and 3-1 to the Coquitlam Express Sunday afternoon – to early season jitters and more than a little bad luck around the net. On Friday, Surrey came out of the gate flat, and trailed their Langley rivals 4-0 after 20 minutes of play, and though they outscored their opposition 3-2 over the final two frames, the first-period hole proved too big to climb out of. On Sunday, meanwhile, special teams, and a lack of offensive finish in general, proved to be the home team’s undoing. The Eagles scored just ❝We were a once despite 36 shots on little sluggish Express goaltender Braden Krogfoss, and went 0-for-6 out of the on the power play. gate both “I thought that we were games.❞ alright. Our first period Blaine Neufeld (Friday), maybe we were a Eagles coach little bit nervous, and we came out flat – we were a little sluggish out of the gate both games,” said Neufeld. “We would’ve liked the two points, and big picture, when you look at what happened (with last year’s struggles), we are anxious for a win, but I think there is a lot to build off of.” In Friday’s game, Rivermen forward Ben Butcher – who played 11 games for the Eagles last season before being dealt to Langley – scored the first two goals of the game, and Justin Szeto and Matthew Graham also scored before the first intermission. Neither team scored in the second period, and Surrey opened the third with two quick goals – Paul McAvoy scored on the power play just 35 seconds into the period, and Darren Hards scored his first BCHL goal just three minutes later. Surrey’s third goal of the contest also came with the man-advantage, with Darius Davidson – one of just eight players returning from last year’s team – potting his first of the year. On Sunday, Surrey trailed 2-0 after the first period, with the team’s only goal coming midway through the third, when Gage Mackie beat Krogfoss with a five-hole shot. Goals were hard to come by in both games, and Neufeld knows his club will need to pick up the offensive slack should they want to get into the win column soon. i see page 26

Eagles will look for first victory of season Friday against Vees “On the power play, we scored twice but obviously didn’t get any on Friday, and the power play, that’s when you really need to bear down the most.”

While Neufeld admitted that no one player stood out among the rest, he was pleased with the play with import rookie centre Paul McAvoy, who

finished the weekend with one goal and, according to the team’s statistics, won 68 per cent of his face-offs. “He had a very good weekend, and really

contributed all over the ice,” the secondyear coach said of the six-foot-two Kentucky native. Neufeld was also pleased with his team’s

i from page 25 “We certainly out-chanced them (Sunday), we hit four or five posts, but we need to find ways to score,” he said.

And though the team still gave up a combined nine goals, Neufeld called the squad’s commitment to defence “night and day” when compared to last season, in which the team allowed more goals-against and shotson-net than any other team in the league. The Eagles face a tough test this week in the hunt for their first win – they host the Penticton Vees Friday night at South Surrey Arena. “We’ve got a tough test, for sure, but we’re not scared of those guys,” Neufeld said. “If we can start putting a few more pucks in the net, we can win that hockey game.” In addition to Friday’s home contest against the Vees, Surrey will play its fourth straight home game on Sunday, when they host the visiting Prince George Spruce Kings.

Svensson fourth South Surrey golfer Adam Svensson has another top-five finish to add to his growing resumé. The Earl Marriott grad – who turned pro earlier this year after a record-setting college career at Florida’s Barry University – finished fourth at the Mackenzie Tour’s Cape Breton Celtic Classic last weekend, just two shots back of the winner. Svensson shot a four-round score of 17-under par at the par-72 The Lakes Golf Course in Ben Eoin, N.S. His tournament was capped by an eightunder-par final round score of 64, to propel him into the top five on the leaderboard.

James Malm has eyes on playing in the Western Hockey League

Valley West Hawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; alum has Giant goals Black Press

There is no Plan B for James Malm. In his eyes, his one and only goal is sticking with the Vancouver Giants for the 2015/16 hockey season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even thought about that,â&#x20AC;? said the 16-year-old about where he would play should he fail to land a roster spot with the major junior hockey club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am just working day-to-day, trying to get better and learn from the older guys on the team.â&#x20AC;? Malm, a former member of the BC Major Midget Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Valley West Hawks, was a second round pick of the Giants in the 2014 WHL bantam draft and this is the first year he is eligible to play in the league. Prior to suiting up for the Hawks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a team whose catchment area includes Surrey and White Rock â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Malm minor hockey in Langley before switching to the Burnaby Winter Club. And so far, he is showing that he belongs at the highest level of junior hockey in Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;First and foremost, he had a tremendous rookie camp â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â he led in almost every category offensively and carried that right into main camp,â&#x20AC;? said Giants

coach Lorne Molleken. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is a skilled player who plays extremely well in tight areas or traffic areas. The physical play through training camp never seemed to bother him. And now that we are playing the exhibition season, he passed the first game with full marks.â&#x20AC;? Malm, a five-footnine, 180-pound forward, scored once in his first preseason game as well and hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t looked out of place in a league for 16 to 20-yearolds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just stepping on the ice and feeling the speed of the guys, that has probably been my biggest eye-opener so far,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding it was nice to have one goal under his belt. The Giants have to be down to 25 players by the start of the WHL regular season, which is next week (Sept. 25). Entering this past weekend, Vancouver had 29 players remaining in camp. The team has two preseason contests remaining, including this Friday (Sept. 18) night, when the Giants battle the WHL champion Kelowna Rockets at the Langley Events Centre. Malm is slated to suit up in the game in his hometown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That should be awesome, getting some friends and family out,â&#x20AC;?

Cement plants eager to burn Metro biosolids

Human manure to be used as fuel: Metro Jeff Nagel Black Press

Contributed photo

Biosolids could soon be burned as fuel at local cement plants, according to Metro Vancouver.

Biosolids â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â the processed sludge Metro Vancouver recovers at its Annacis Island sewage-treatment plant from what residents flush down the toilet â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â could soon be burned as a fuel in local cement plants. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the tentative plan the regional district is pursuing as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;diversificationâ&#x20AC;? opportunity as it faces growing opposition

to its conventional use of biosolids as a soil supplement, particularly on agricultural land. Dried biosolids have two-thirds of the fuel value as coal, which it would replace if burned at the Lehigh cement plant in Delta or Lafarge in Richmond, according to Metro biosolids program manager Laurie Ford. Both cement plants are eager because the fuel from human

excrement would help reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay the carbon tax thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charged on coal and they may be able to tap a provincial low-carbon fuel program to cover their upgrade costs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our understanding is the coal plants are definitely able to take it all and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very interested in taking as much as possible,â&#x20AC;? Ford said. If a final decision is made to proceed, the region would construct a $25-million plant to dry the biosolids into fuel pellets, using heat already captured from sewage at the Annacis treatment plant, supplemented by natural gas when necessary. Ford says drying half of Metroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual

biosolids for fuel would reduce the cement plantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; coal use by four per cent, cutting regional greenhouse gas emissions by 15,000 tonnes per year. The ash from burned biosolids would be mixed in to the cement. The regional district is expected to call for bidders to develop a conceptual design. Biosolids recovered at Annacis have been used for nearly 25 years to supplement soil in Metroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regional parks, in local landscaping, to help with mine reclamation and to improve agricultural range soil in the Interior. The human manure is heat-treated to kill pathogens. Richmond Coun. Harold Steves said he would prefer to see as much of the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

biosolids burned as fuel as possible and kept off agricultural land, where he fears there may be some risk of transmitting toxins up the food chain. Ford said Metro would continue to produce some biosolids for use as a fertilizer or soil supplement, in part to ensure the region doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t become dependent solely on cement plants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That would be taking all of our eggs from one basket and putting them into another basket,â&#x20AC;? she said. Biosolids production will rise significantly in the decades ahead as the Metro population grows and two older wastewater treatment plants â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â Iona and Lions Gate â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â are to be upgraded to secondary treatment.

We are heartbroken to announce that Desiree passed away suddenly on Thursday, September 10, 2015 – doing what she loved, surfing. Desiree was born in Surrey, BC. She was fortunate to live in Canada, Ireland, England and the United States, which sparked in her a lifelong love of travel and an appreciation for the arts. Desiree was passionate about her career in the fashion industry, which took her from New York to Florence to LA – where she lived for the last few years and where she became a passionate surfer. Desiree is survived by her parents Dick and Corinne Zondag, her sister Shannon Mitchell (Robert), nephew Robbie, niece Jaquelyn, Whitney Lasker, Tino Razo and their loveable dog, Chunk. Desiree also leaves behind many extended family members: grandmother Inez Zondag; uncles Gerry Zondag (Cindy), Daniel Westley (Theresa), Ralph Zondag (Lori), Joe Westley and Jason Zondag (Zuzana); aunts Joann Fournier and Terry Hildebrand; cousins Sarah (Chris), Brayden, Dane, Tristan, Skyler, Dustin, Jon, Anna May, Luis, Layla, Steven (Michelle), Liam, Lily, Aimee (Kevin), Jacob and Autumn. Desiree was predeceased by her grandparents, Johanna and Ralph Zondag Sr, Audrey Westley and Uncle Glen Westley. Desiree made friends easily wherever she went. At a gathering after Desiree’s passing, a friend realized that while she thought of herself as Desiree’s best friend, so did everyone else in the room. Her joyous spirit was contagious and her passing is deeply felt by friends and family members. She was known for her carefree, kind and fun-loving ways, infectious laugh and her beauty and grace. May we all draw comfort knowing that we have been touched by such an inimitable yet unassuming, inspirational, creative, beautiful, brave and adventurous young woman. Desiree was released in one of the most beautiful places on earth. The ocean is eternal just as she is now and whenever you want to feel Desiree’s presence you know where to find her. In lieu of flowers, Desiree’s family would prefer that you make a donation in her honour to the Surfrider Foundation, http://www.surfrider.org/ A Celebration of Life will be held at Alexandra Hall, 2916 McBride Ave Surrey (Crescent Beach) on Sunday, September 20, 2015 at 6:00 pm.

OBITUARIES

GALE LEAH WOODWARD 1938 - 2015

On the evening of August 24th, Gale Woodward, and her beloved husband, Edwin Kiffiak, were involved in a fatal car accident near Edwin’s farm in Foremost, Alberta. Family and friends are in shock and disbelief that these vibrant and loving partners have left us. Since their marriage, eight months ago, Gale and Edwin have spent time living in White Rock and Foremost. Gale lived a rich and full life, hallmarked first by her deep faith and trust in God, and secondly by the love of her family and enormous circle of friends. She maintained that her life was in God’s hands and lived accordingly. Gale loved her native city of Vancouver where she grew up in a large family of five sisters and one brother. Predeceased by parents Louis and Laura Abramson, daughter Topaze, sisters Shirley Stefani and Tamara Gallo and son-in-law Don E. Miller, she leaves behind sisters Merle Ivancoe and Tamara Abramson, brother Ian Abramson (Elaine), daughter Lynn Woodward, and son, Rio Woodward. While bringing up her children, Gale lived in Vancouver, Bowen Island, Abbotsford and finally came to live in White Rock in the early 80’s. GG, as she was lovingly called, leaves behind six remarkable grandchildren. She

shared a very special bond with Janelle Cowhig, Gemma Myers (Joseph), Hayley Jay (Tim), Aja McCarthy (John), Dylan Woodward and Shayde Woodward. In the past four years, GG also became a great grandmother five times over. Gale was a realtor with Homelife Benchmark Realty in White Rock for over 30 years and was known for her integrity and her outgoing nature. She genuinely loved working with people and many of her clients became life-long friends. Gale was generous, kind, energetic, inquisitive and was thrilled by the smallest things in nature. But most of all she was excited by God’s love for humanity. Anyone fortunate enough to have spent time with Gale was inspired with the delight and hope with which she viewed the world. She will be deeply missed by her grieving family, including many recently added members of Edwin’s family. A celebration of Gale’s remarkable life will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 19th at White Rock Baptist Church, 1657 140th Street, Surrey. For any enquiries, contact Gale’s sister Tamara (Tammi) at tabram@telus.net.

Born June 4, 1927 in Toronto. Passed away suddenly August 20, 2015, after suffering a heart attack at home, doing what she loved most - swimming. She was taken to Royal Columbian Hospital, where she received excellent triage intervention, then ICU where she was treated with the best care until she passed away in the early morning. Predeceased by her father Harry Foster, a WW I & II decorated veteran, in 1967; mother Annie May Turton, in 1947, who passed at age 49 from cancer - only 1 month before Daisy gave birth to her daughter Barbara Ann; her beloved husband (Jim) Wallace Sept 16, 2004. The whole family was devastated when her youngest daughter Susan passed after a long and lingering battle with cancer, in 2010, at the age of 56, leaving a husband & 3 young children. Survived by her loving daughter Barbara Ann, son-in-law Gary; stepson Lynn; grandchildren Kimberly (Kristopher), Ryan, Sean, Matthew, Stephanie & Nicholas; great grandchildren Ashton, Piper & Griffon; nieces Wendy, Michelle & family, Brenda & family; nephews John & family, Ron & family, and Michael. Plus other nieces, nephews & family in Ontario. Daisy was the 3rd daughter in the line of 4; Dorothy, Anne, herself, and the youngest Hilda. All the girls married, had families, and moved around Ontario. Daisy and Jim lived in Toronto for many years, close to family. They had a modest life. Daisy worked outside the house for many years as a factory worker, and cashier, and enjoyed bowling with her company's team. She also enjoyed a rowdy game of cards with family on holidays. For many years the families tried to spend Thanksgiving or Christmas together - creating quite a mayhem. She was a very good cook, and baker, and was known for her lemon pies. Jim & Daisy followed the girls and their husbands & families out west to B.C., and later lived with her daughter in the country. She was a loving mother, grandmother, and nanny. A Girl Guide Leader & Camp Advisor. Jim & Daisy took their very first and only cruise together to Alaska. She later went on 5 more cruises with friends, and then solo - expanding her self-esteem and confidence. Daisy started an aquacise class at the local pool - meeting many new friends. This group called themselves the “Mermaids”-“Friends in the Sunshine of Life”. Daisy had suffered from glaucoma and arthritis, but kept up her spirits by enjoying the pool many times a week. This was an incentive for coffee chats and birthday lunches with her special group. She also became interested in gardening, and joined a small monthly club with guest speakers. Daisy was a good natured person, and was known to pitch in whenever needed. She will be greatly missed by family and friends. A Celebration of Life will be held for family, friends and neighbours on Saturday, October 10th, 2015, at 1:00pm. Refreshments will be served at the Hudson home, 17016 - 22nd Ave, South Surrey, 604-536-5739. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the B.C. Ambulance Service, BC Emergency Health Services, P.O. Box 9676, Stn Provincial Government, Victoria, BC, V8W 9P7.

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 Woodlawn Mt. Cheam Funeral Home 45865 Hocking Ave, Chilliwack BC V2P 1B5 604-793-4555
