Opposing candidates question whether former mayor approved of flyer’s message
Watts’ terror warning ‘fear mongering’ Alex Browne Staff Reporter
Federal Liberal South Surrey-White Rock candidate Judy Higginbotham has gone on the attack against election material delivered door-to-door last week by Conservative Dianne Watts’ campaign. On the other side of a card bearing Watts’ name and picture, a photo-montage of headlines quotes an alleged Isis jihadist as saying “You Will Not Feel Secure In Your Bed-
rooms,” while contrasting it with quotes from NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair and Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau expressing their lack of support for anti-ISIS combat missions. The campaign leaflet’s message, alongside the Conservative party logo, is “We will fight jihadist terrorists at home and abroad.” In a media release issued late Monday afternoon, Higginbotham slammed the campaign literature. “Creating this kind of terrorist fear-mon-
gering in our riding goes far beyond being inappropriate,” she said, calling on Watts to “stiffen her backbone” and indicate to Conservative Leader Stephen Harper that such a message to Canadians is not acceptable. “Is fighting terrorists in South SurreyWhite Rock really (Watts’) top priority?” the release questioned. Watts did not respond to Peace Arch News’ request for comment by press time Tuesday. i see page 4

Community supports Dawn O’Kane, suffering from aggressive form of multiple sclerosis
Retired dancer’s efforts focused on being a mother Alex Browne Staff Reporter
Dawn O’Kane
She may be a former Canadian ballroom dance champion, dance instructor and owner of the Peninsula’s Arthur Murray Dance Studio. But Dawn O’Kane – diagnosed with a particularly aggressive form of multiple sclerosis 12 years ago – has a much more important focus these days. She’s enjoying life with her 10-year-old daughter.
“People ask me ‘do you want to dance again?’ and I say, ‘I want to be a mom,” she said. “I want to be there for (Isabella), to walk with her.” Key to achieving the goal, she maintains, is travelling to Russia in March to receive chemotherapy and a Hematopioetic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT) – a procedure unavailable in Canada. It has made a significant difference to other MS patients, but will end up cost-
ing some $60,000, she said. There are others in the community – from husband Grant to fellow Southridge School parents, friends and former dance associates – who share O’Kane’s goal, and they’re organizing a burger and beer fundraiser, dubbed ‘A New Day For Dawn,’ tonight (Wednesday, 6:30-8:30 p.m.) at the South Point Jimmy Flynn’s Celtic Snug (3020 152 St.). For $20, adult patrons will receive a

burger and beer. For $15, a ticket will buy children a burger and pop. There will also be 50/50 tickets and a silent auction to help boost the take. “I’ve received so much incredible support – and so many people are still supporting me,” said O’Kane, previously profiled in the Peace Arch News in 2011. At that time, the family raised $14,000 to send her to California for a procedure. i see page 4

Teen victim initially held responsible for new employer’s cheques
Cheques, balances in online job scam Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
A South Surrey woman whose daughter fell victim to an online scam said she is almost more frustrated that banking officials initially held her daughter responsible than she is by the scam itself. Karen Daykin said her daughter, Jodi, 19, earlier this month was able to cash two employer’s cheques – totalling $3,500 – without presenting ID and with nowhere near enough money in her TD Canada Trust account to cover the funds. In Daykin’s own experience over the years, financial institutions typically hold cheques in such situations for a few days, to ensure they clear, she said. “They cashed that cheque right away,” she
said, of Jodi’s first deposit at the 2640 152 St. branch on Sept. 2, noting she made sure her daughter made the deposit through a teller, just in case there was a problem. Bank officials say they are investigating the incidents but could not comment on the case specifically, citing privacy. Jeff Meerman, manager of corporate and public affairs for TD Bank, told Peace Arch News that, in general, customers are responsible for what they put into their accounts. “Certainly, we empathize with customers who’ve been taken by fraud,” Meerman said. “It’s really important that customers know who they’re doing business with.” Jodi Daykin said she was sent the cheques after being hired online for a job she found through Craigslist. Having found employ-
ment through the site – including Karen Daykin said she had been her current job in White Rock – reassured when the bank didn’t hespreviously without issue, she didn’t itate to cash the first cheque. doubt the authenticity. “We didn’t think about how intriThe new employer instructed her cate scamming can be.

Charges pending more than a month after 57 animals taken from farm
New homes sought for seized horses Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter
More than a month after dozens of neglected animals were seized from a south Cloverdale property, several of the rescued horses are ready to find new homes. On Aug. 11, investigators with the BC SPCA seized 57 animals – including 35 dogs, 16 horses and six cats – in a case described by senior animal protection officer Eileen Drever as “disgusting.” The horses rescued from that farm have been
treated for malnutrition and other medical issues, and are now ready to be adopted. “These animals were in serious distress when we took them into our care and we would love to see them adopted by wonderful new guardians who will ensure that they live the rest of their lives free from suffering and pain,” Drever said in a release. The BC SPCA will host an ‘adoptathon’ – which will also include llamas, ducks, chickens, geese, a donkey and a goat who all need new homes – Sept. 26 from 12 to 4 p.m. at the
BC SPCA’s Surrey location, 16748 50 Ave. The horses range in age from two to 14 years old, and include a variety of breeds and temperaments. They will all be available for viewing at the ‘adoptathon’, and BC SPCA officials will be accepting applications and sealed bids. Charges in relation to the Aug. 11 seizure are still pending, according to Drever, who told Peace Arch News the BC SPCA is hoping to have charges submitted by the end of the week.

West Vancouver Police and North Shore Search and Rescue are searching an area near Cypress Mountain for a missing White Rock hiker. Neville Jewell, 52, has been missing for “an undetermined amount of time” according to a WVPD news release, though CTV News reported he had been missing for nine days as of Monday evening. It was not immediately clear why he was not reported missing earlier. On Sunday, police were notified by Cypress Mountain staff of an abandoned vehicle in the parking lot, which investigation revealed to be registered to Jewell. According to police, “the circumstances that led to the vehicle being found indicate there is serious concern for the well-being of Mr. Jewell.” West Vancouver Police had no updates on the search by Neville Jewell missing Peace Arch News press deadline Tuesday morning, and referred requests for information to the department’s online news release. Search-and-rescue crews from throughout the Lower Mainland – joined by Jewell’s family – continued to search for the missing man Tuesday. North Shore Search and Rescue noted, on the organization’s Facebook page, that Jewell has a Welsh accent, in case anyone has spoken to him. Police said Jewell is not considered to be one to stay away longterm, nor was he believed to be equipped to stay in the wilderness for a long period of time. “We think he may have carried some water and a small snack, something of that nature, but we don’t believe he had any intention of staying out overnight,” Peter Haigh of North Shore Rescue told CTV News. – Nick Greenizan

to fear refugees and immigrants.” Higginbotham said she has heard from many residents. “It was certainly not pleasantly received. Given some of the reaction, we think she would stand up and say this is not what she would endorse.” Higginbotham – a former Surrey councillor – said she was personally “floored… taken aback” when she first saw the leaflet. She said she finds the material – quite apart from not resonating with this riding – out of character for Watts, a former Surrey mayor. “I’m terribly surprised – I know Dianne Watts well and this is astounding.

White Rock Players’ Club is a step closer to being granted a property-tax exemption, after the city’s finance and audit committee voted last week to include the organization in proposed changes to the city’s financial policy. The community-theatre group first appealed to the city in April for an exemption, citing reduced attendance and required maintenance to the Coast Capital Playhouse as reasons for the request. At the
time, club president Fred Partridge said the group pays just under $20,000 in property taxes each year. At the Sept. 14 committee meeting, Mayor Wayne Baldwin said the club “provides a unique service to the community,” and acknowledged they were “going through some tough times financially.” Council is expected to vote on the policy amendments on Sept. 28. – Melissa Smalley

A call for compassion
T
he debate around how to help Syrian refugees, fleeing a vicious civil war and Islamic State terrorism, has become something of a political debate in Canada. It’s to be expected that, in the run-up to next month’s federal election, various parties would make various claims on the best approach. But this is beyond politics. The recent publication of the photo that went around the world – that of drowned three-year-old Syrian refugee Alan Kurdi – is ample evidence of that. Canadians are compassionate people and there is ample precedent for helping those in need. We need only recall 35 years ago, when thousands of Vietnamese “boat people” were taken in by this country. Compassion has to supersede politics in this matter – perhaps in all matters – and while Syria is currently the cause du jour (despite unrest dating back to 2011) spurred on largely by heart-wrenching stories such as Alan’s, it is important to remember that there are almost always causes, locally and across the globe, that deserve our attention long after the outrage dies down and the public moves on to the next issue. We can look beyond the migrant crisis in Europe to any number of countries that would benefit from the aid and compassion of Canadians. And it is right and good that we continue to do what we can. That compassion is what led South Surrey mothers Azra Mann and Salma Wahdan to spearhead an effort to help displaced Syrian refugees in Mann’s home country of Serbia (read their story on page 11). Mann is in Serbia this week, and will return again next month in an effort to feed and house as many refugees as they can afford to help. As she says, they might not be able to help the majority of the Syrian families fleeing violence and unrest, but they can do their part to help some, and such efforts are commendable. The status of refugees, and Canada’s responsibility in assisting them, is deservedly in the spotlight. And local organizations – and individuals – that are doing their part deserve our accolades, especially as many of them were doing the hard work to support refugees for years, long before the issue was thrust into the spotlight.

frightening levels in the 1990s before the Chrétien government finally balanced the budget. (Fun fact: then-finance minister Paul Martin not only cut transfers to provinces, unlike the current government, he inflicted the largest-ever cuts to the CBC. Harper’s CBC cuts were part of government-wide reductions, again due to that 2009 crisis.) NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair has promised to balance the budget every year of his mandate, should he form Canada’s first-ever socialist government. He will spend the rest of the campaign trying to reconcile this promise with the grandiose spending plans he has piled up. Meanwhile in B.C., Finance Minister Mike de Jong may have benefited from Harper’s lowball budget. In his first quarter update last week, de Jong reported that his February budget forecast is on track, with a $277 million surplus. This is despite a $300 million bill for forest firefighting, thanks to personal and corporate income tax revenue expected to be $374 million higher than budgeted. B.C. bases its tax revenue figures on federal estimates, and the ones they got early this year were clearly low. Understated or not, this is a nice problem to have. De Jong says that at the current pace, B.C. will pay off its accumulated operating debt by 2020. The last time the province was free of operating debt was 1982. The big debt peak came during the NDP 1990s, with another spike from 2009 to 2013 under the B.C. Liberals. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Public opinion will be heard
Time to listen, time to lead
Editor: Re: Ecological area eyed for development, Sept. 16. I was disappointed but not surprised to hear that the City of Surrey is considering yet another “business park” for Campbell Heights, this time encroaching into an area with even more ecological value than previous projects. If the Surrey First slate has demonstrated consistency on any subject, choosing development over the environment might top the list. I speak with some experience, having served on the city’s largely ineffective Environmental Sustainability Advisory Committee for eight years – and yes, I take some responsibility for that poor record. In the interests of full disclosure, I live immediately adjacent to the area under study. Clearly, further development would significantly increase the value of properties in the area, including ours. Sorry neighbours, but I believe it is time for people to consider the long-term implications for all citizens over short-term financial gain. We continue to see multiple wildlife species sharing our property with us – beaver, muskrat, coyotes, blue herons, great horned owls, hawks, ducks, kingfishers and many different songbirds, to name only the most obvious. On two occasions, pregnant does have produced and raised fawns safely in our back pasture. Two studies quoted recently by the David Suzuki Foundation noted the numerous beneficial impacts of maintaining biodiversity in the urban environment on human welfare. One study by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration found that people living in areas with abundant green space live longer and experience lower incidence of several diseases, compared to people more deprived of exposure to nature. Sounds like a desirable outcome to me. Surrey Environmental Partners (SEP) has made presentations to council on the need for more large parks, and Campbell Heights was specifically singled out by them. As we in South Surrey watch stands of trees give way to more and more rows of townhouses with minimal green space, the need for what the PAN article refers to as “living legacy parks” becomes more critical for our future health and wellbeing. Those who believe that rational decisions will be made in this case, or that “someone else” will be there to hold council’s feet to the fire, should consider what has transpired in recent years. We need to become more vocal. If you are concerned about your future health and that of your children, get involved. Write to council to let them know how you feel – public opinion is one thing that all politicians understand. Bill Stewart, Surrey
Editor: Setting aside the question of why White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin will not back down on his preposterous position on the regional growth strategy (A city in turmoil, Sept. 16), where exactly do the other people we elected stand on this? Couns. Helen Fathers and Dave Chesney are visible at open houses, and take the time to listen. However, it seems that some on this council need to be reminded – again – that they are employed by every taxpayer in White Rock, and that just maybe their employer would like to see some actual
engagement in the important issues. We elected six councillors and a mayor last year; seriously, is it too much to ask that the majority of them show up at developers meetings so that the people who elected them can solicit feedback on the votes they intend to make on our behalf? (Editor’s note: Coun. Grant Meyer responded last week to a Sept. 9 PAN editorial challenging council members’ absences at public-information meetings, saying the city lawyer and planner have advised them not to attend. He did not explain why.) We placed a trust in this mayor and council, and we expect them to carry out the promises that they made during the election – and controlled, well-thought-out development was one of those promises. If there are councillors that
disagree with Baldwin’s assertions on growth (Legally obligated to grow, Aug. 28 letters) they need to stand and be counted, not remain silent and hope for the storm to pass. We are now stuck in a vicious cycle where the more vocal the public becomes over the lack of transparency at city hall, the harder the mayor and majority of council try to make the workings of council more opaque – excessive in-camera meetings is a prime example. It is vital for practical reasons, even if not for moral ones, that politicians operate to a higher standard of conduct than those they purport to lead. Time for this mayor and council to listen and vote based on the wishes of the citizens, not the developers. Steven Hughes, White Rock

quote of note
`
The campaign leaflet I received this past week from Dianne Watts caused me to look under my bed for terrorists. All I found was dust…a David Klassen
Conservative flyer
Letter writers suggest a message from former Surrey mayor Dianne Watts’ federal-election campaign is shameful.
A campaign offensive hits home Editor: I received a flyer placed in my mailbox from Dianne Watts recently and found it very troubling. I quote: “We will fight jihadist terrorists at home and abroad.” It is obvious this fear-mongering strategy has been adopted by the Conservative party – perhaps under the influence of the consulting Australian ‘dark arts master’ Lynton Crosby – and unsurprisingly accepted by Watts. I suspect we will see/hear more fear-promoting activity in the future from the Conservative party. Hopefully we will not accept the low road of political manipulation offered by the Conservative party. Robert Winston, Surrey Q Shame on you, Dianne Watts, for allowing your picture to adorn the flip side of the flyer that arrived in my mailbox yesterday. Is this your platform, to convince me that I should not feel secure in my bedroom? The tone of this flyer means I will definitely not vote Conservative on Oct. 19th. Karen Peplow, White Rock Q I sympathize with the plight of Syrian refugees, particularly the women and children. I also believe that there should be adequate screening. The natural inclination of Canadians to help those in need, demonstrated many times in our history, surely demands that we significantly increase our efforts to screen and then accommodate them in our society. What I cannot understand is how politicians can use this tragedy for the meanest political purpose. Shame on you, Ms. Watts Judith McLean, White Rock
Q The campaign leaflet I received this past week from Dianne Watts caused me to look under my bed for terrorists. All I found was dust, but I was unable to determine if the dust had been thoroughly screened and whether or not a terrorist mite still lingered there. Honestly, this is the most absurd piece of political literature I’ve ever seen. David Klassen, Surrey Q Yesterday I received a shocking mailout from Dianne Watts. It was a classic example of “politics of fear,” a policy much favoured by Conservative Leader Stephen Harper, carried to extreme lengths. On reading it, one could almost imagine smiling ISIS soldiers in their trucks, black flags waving, guns firing in the air, driving up King George Boulevard. The message, of course, was that only Harper could protect us from these monsters. On the other side was a lovely photo of Watts (at left). I phoned her campaign office and told them I was deeply offended by this advertisement. The woman I spoke with graciously apologized for the offensive piece, saying it had come directly from Ottawa, without Dianne’s knowledge, adding that it was not her style. If that is the case, what does this say for our “leader,” who sees fit to design such an outrageous advertisement, place the photograph of his candidate on the reverse side, without her knowledge and approval, and mail it out to the constituents? It makes one wonder just how much say Watts will have should she win and become a part of his government. Sybil Rowe, Surrey

news Province claims Port Mann saves 40 minutes a day
Travel times urge drivers to pay Jeff Nagel Black Press
Eight overhead digital message signs along Highway 1 in Metro Vancouver now display live travel time estimates to key points along the corridor. By showing what are usually shorter travel times over the tolled Port Mann Bridge, government officials hope more drivers will pay up and stop taking an alternate free route across the Fraser River. “This travel time information will reinforce the benefits of the Port Mann Bridge and confirm what many drivers already know – they’re saving significant time by choosing Highway 1,” Transportation Investment Corp. president Irene Kerr said. Transportation ministry officials say travel time surveys show regular Port Mann users save 40 minutes a day – more than three hours a week – compared to battling traffic through New Westminster to take the untolled Pattullo Bridge. A ceremony staged Thursday officially ended construction of the $3.3-billion Port Mann/ Highway 1 project. “Without the builders and visionaries behind the Port Mann / Highway 1 project,

Digital signs along Highway 1 with travel times aim to urge drivers to take the Port Mann Bridge. drivers would still be bumperto-bumper in Western Canada’s worst bottleneck,” Stone said, thanking workers for their efforts and drivers for their patience. Earlier this summer, direct connection lanes opened that link Surrey and Coquitlam with no need to merge with other Highway 1 traffic. A multi-use path also opened on the bridge giving cyclists a new route across the Fraser River (see video below.) The new toll bridge opened
in December 2012, but lane construction continued since then along the freeway corridor. Registered drivers of standard vehicles initially paid $1.50 to cross the bridge thanks to an introductory halfprice discount. But the $3 base tolls kicked in a year later, and they were raised to $3.15 per crossing this summer. Despite the touted travel time savings, the number of drivers paying to cross the bridge has
not met the province’s initial forecasts, and the TI Corp.’s annual operating losses have climbed above $100 million a year. Traffic counts over the Port Mann actually fell 3.9 per cent last year, but are running five per cent higher so far in 2015. TI Corp. officials insist they expect tolls to pay off the project costs on schedule by 2050. The old Port Mann Bridge is still being dismantled and that work is to be finished later this fall.

Former gangster sues government Sheila Reynolds Black Press
A former gang member is suing the B.C. government, claiming he endured a brutal five-hour beating by fellow inmates, just steps away from a guard desk at Surrey Pretrial Services Centre. A civil suit filed last week by Abbotsford’s Daniel Cunningham alleges he suffered brain damage and multiple broken bones after other prisoners forced him into a cell and kicked, punched and stomped on him. “The plaintiff had his head forced into the toilet water several times in an attempt to drown him,” the court document reads. “He was forced to lick his own blood off the shoes of his attackers and clean his blood off the floor and walls using his clothes.” Cunningham, 35, claims he was knocked out at least three times and sometimes pretended to be dead. He said pretrial centre guards failed to respond to his screams or notice he wasn’t in his cell. He said they also didn’t respond when other inmates were egging on the attack, yelling to “knock his teeth out,” “kick him in the face” and “drown him in the toilet.” He allegedly screamed repeatedly and banged
on the closed cell door. The claim says the cell where the assault took place was about three metres away from the guard control desk. He alleges he was hidden under bags and clothes when guards did their checks, and they didn’t intervene until his cellmate activated an alarm. The lawsuit says Cunningham was arrested and remanded to Surrey Pretrial Services Centre in Panorama Ridge on drug trafficking charges last April. He pleaded guilty on June 11 and was sentenced to six months jail, promising in open court to leave gang life. Because of an outstanding robbery charge, however, he was returned to the Surrey centre. He says he expressed concern about the return and told pretrial staff that “if it became known that he intended to leave the lifestyle, he would be at risk of violence from members or affiliates of the Red Scorpions.” He was returned nonetheless. Cunningham accuses the guards of negligence and misfeasance for “knowingly permitted the assault.” He is seeking damages for his injuries and for violations of his Charter rights. B.C. Corrections has yet to file a response.

Surrey among areas targeted by arsons, shootings
Two arrested in JIBC attacks Jeff Nagel Black Press
Police have made two arrests in connection with more than 20 arsons or shootings across Metro Vancouver – including five in Surrey – that targeted students and staff of the Justice Institue of B.C. in 2011 and 2012. Langley resident Vincent Eric Gia-Hwa Cheung, 40, is alleged to be the orchestrator of the attacks and faces 19 arson-related counts involving damage to vehicles or homes, and another four of inten-
tionally shooting at cars or homes. Thurman Ronley Taffe, a 54-year-old Burnaby resident, is charged with one count of intentionally or recklessly damaging a home with fire. Police say 15 innocent people were targeted. A threatening email sent in July 2011 to the JIBC, which trains police and other law enforcement officers, named nine people, all of whom had their homes or vehicles targeted in the preceding months. Investigators determined an ICBC employee had queried the
15 victims’ licence plates to gain their personal details. The investigation gained momentum in January 2012, when three suspects connected to a Surrey arson were identified, leading police to zero in on Cheung. “We know there are still people who have additional information about these offences and this investigation is continuing with further arrests and charges anticipated,” said Kevin Hackett, chief officer of the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit.

W
hen Azra Mann was a young girl growing up in Serbia, she used to watch as her grandfather would, often under cover of darkness, sneak young Bosnian women – refugees whose families had been killed – into the family home, where they’d stay, hidden, until they had a safe place to go. It was the mid-1990s, near the end of the Bosnian War, and those memories, have always stuck with the now-29-year-old South Surrey resident, who emigrated to Canada with her family in 1999. “I remember seeing cars pull up and bloodied women climbing out of trunks and sneaking into the house,” she told Peace Arch News Friday, sitting in the living room of her friend, Salma Wahdan. “I have those images in my head, and they don’t go away. I remember two ladies in particular, who I was kind of close to. Every time I would go to my grandpa’s house, we would visit, but we’d do it in hiding. I’d talk to my aunt and uncle about them (years later) and the two women seemed to be doing very well, so I know my family was helpful, and know those women were thankful.” It is memories like those – plus
UNCHR/I. Prickett photo
A group of Syrian Kurdish refugees cross into Turkey from Syria. more-recent images and videos of the ongoing Syrian refugee crisis – that spurred Mann and Wahdan to try to do what they could to help. Of the millions of refugees to have fled Syria since a violent civil war broke out in the middle eastern country in 2011, tens of thousands have made their way north to Mann’s home country. In an effort to help some of those refugees, Mann and three others will travel to Belgrade in early October, and – with the help of her inlaws’ Mannkind Charitable Society – will provide food and shelter for as many refugee families as they can afford to help. Mann – who left for Serbia
Sunday and will spend this week meeting with government officials and others – said they have secured a 24-bed hostel in Belgrade, and have so far raised enough money, about $10,000, to about two or three months at the hostel. “It will get them through the winter, because that’s when it gets really cold there,” Mann explained, adding that if more funds are raised, they can upgrade to a 67-bed shelter. This week, Mann brought with her a few suitcases full of warm clothes – donated by friends, family and neighbours – which she will give to refugees, thousands of whom, she says, are currently
living outdoors, in a large Belgrade park. As well, she will try to provide food for as many of the refugees as possible. Mann anticipated that seeing all the refugees in the park will be the toughest thing for her. “I’m nervous to go into the refugee park and see all the families that we can’t help. I know it’s just going to break my heart, but we still have to do whatever we can do. “We can’t help everybody, but we can help a few families at a time, and make a difference for them.” Mann and Wahdan each have young sons, which, they both admit, made seeing news coverage of the Syrian crisis even more heartbreaking. “On social media, I saw so many pictures – of young children running from border officials, of families sleeping on the ground. And when I started to research what was happening in my own country, Serbia, I saw kids camping out in parks because as much as the government wants to help, they just can’t because there is so many of them. “The more I saw, the more I couldn’t sleep at night. I have a little guy at home, and just the thought of him sleeping outside, I couldn’t imagine. It made me really sad.”
It’s through those same socialmedia channels that the pair have been able to get the word out about their charitable efforts. Online donations to the cause, all facilitated through Mannkind’s website, have come from all across the globe. “It’s amazing what social media can do now. You can see more than what just the traditional media shows you, and you can share and connect with so many people,” said Wahdan. “There are just so many different ways to help – your ideas, your energy, physically going to a place like Azra is doing, or by donating with money, or clothes, or an old suitcase.” Ever since coming up with their plan in early September – and subsequently spreading the word online and through word-ofmouth – people have been leaving clothing donations on her front steps, Mann added. The fundraising efforts will continue beyond Oct. 5, Mann said, but all funds raised until that point will be matched by an anonymous donor family in Vancouver.

kareen’s 1st Annual
Charity Blanket Drive While walking out of a movie theatre in downtown Vancouver on a chilly October night back in 2005, Gregory Ould noĆ&#x;ced a man lying in an alcove at the side of a building. Always so curious, Greg went up to the man and asked him if there was anything he could do to help him out. Thinking he would ask for food, drink, cigareĆŠes or coÄŤee, Gregory wasn’t prepared for what the man replied. “I could use a blanket‌ to survive the night.â€? Blown away by those words, Greg went out and brought back a blanket. That single act has now conĆ&#x;nued and blossomed, from what was once a family endeavor to a Non-ProÄŽt Society which contributes to over 35 organizaĆ&#x;ons in the Lower Mainland, along with many other shelters that open their space to the homeless and families in need of help. Gregory Ould is the founder of Blankets BC. We oĹŒen see the more prominent chariĆ&#x;es in the spotlight, but this small donaĆ&#x;on has saved and conĆ&#x;nues to save lives and help families. I will be driving around September 26th and 27th to pick up your clean blanket, miĆŠs, hats and/or socks donaĆ&#x;ons. Please email me at info@thekareengroup.com or call me at 604-307-2385 with your address and leave your donaĆ&#x;on on the front step marked for pick up.
Spread the warmth,

A campaign to raise awareness about domestic abuse in Surrey wrapped up last month, raising funds for a city-run abuse-prevention coalition. The Rakhi Project, in its fifth year, took place July 15 to Aug. 29, aiming to bring communities and organizations together to speak out against domestic abuse. More than 1,000 bracelets were sold in support of the project; funds from the sale will support the city’s Coalition Against Domestic Abuse. This year’s campaign – spearheaded by the City of Surrey, Surrey RCMP and DIVERSEcity Community Resources Society – focused on the role of first responders in answering domestic abuse calls. “As police officers, we understand that we provide a vital resource for victims and their families during such difficult family crises,� Surrey RCMP chief Supt.

THINKING OF TRAVELLING TO EUROPE NEXT YEAR? Call the European specialists at Lloyds Travel today!
Spring and fall are great times to go to Europe – nice weather and fewer crowds. Dipping into the warm Mediterranean amongst a throng of French, Italian, Swedish, and British sunbathers can also be quite enthralling, and dining late at a sidewalk café on a warm summer night- very European. September is a very popular time for river cruising. These are selling quickly now for next year! Contact us to enquire about the different ships and their incredible itineraries.
Imagine cruising slowly down the Moselle, past castles, vineyards, little hamlets with children playing along the banks, villagers playing bocce, and cyclists waving, as you pass them by. Speaking of cyclists, why not check out some of our hiking and biking tour companies. They offer varying levels of difficulty- from rambling along the banks of the Danube, to climbing the Alps or Dolomites. Bike and barge tours are becoming popular. Sleep and eat on the barge, and cycle from town to town during the day. These companies provide highquality bikes, and sometimes electric bikes. Or move at a quicker pace and cover more of Europe on a motorcoach tour. Your tour guide will narrate, educate, and show you sights that you might otherwise miss. They will also ensure your reservations and travel arrangements go smoothly. Spend 2-3 days in one city, or travel from country to country in 3-40 days. There are coach tours for everyone- from 1st class deluxe accommodation with Trafalgar or Globus to younger, energetic tours for 18-35 year olds, with Contiki tours. Enjoy g a s t r o n o m y, w i n e t a s t i n g , museum-hopping, religious i n t e r e s t s , b e a ch b u m m i n g , history, art, gardens, even Christmas shopping. If you prefer to do your own thing, an expert travel agent can offer you many suggestions on great places to visit, as well as book your rental car, hotels, train passes, city tours, villas, airport transfers, opera tickets, museum passes. Mediterranean, Aegean and North Sea cruises are always popular in Europe. Travel from Spain to Italy to Greece, from Amsterdam to St. Petersburg. Retire to your luxurious cabin, and wake up the next day in a new country. Extend your holiday with a city stay or tour before or after your cruise, to really immerse yourself. There are some excellent promotions and discounts available right now for next summer. Airfares for next spring are very reasonable. Book your flights now, to get the dates you want, and save hundreds! We have many European specialists at Lloyds Travel & Cruises. Let us help plan your holiday. Danke, Gracie, Salut, Merci, Cheers!

“Skilled designers will make sure a project follows the plan and budget”

From there we provide a fixed price. If we need to alter products or finishes to reach the desired fixed price then we do it all before construction starts. This provides transparency between the home

They are unique in that they also have a custom millwork shop in house. This allows them to service the design, manufacturing and build phase of all projects. Having a custom millwork shop enables them to control the quality, delivery times and custom finishing of all renovations / new build construction.

The ultimate AV experience The football season has officially kicked off, and the hockey season isn’t far behind, so for many sports fans, that means one thing – get ready to spend a lot of time on the couch. But before you turn on the game, there are plenty of ways to improve your watching-athome experience, or maybe even create the ultimate ‘man cave’. For starters, you’ll want to make sure you have plenty of seating, so try and remove any unnecessary clutter, and add in a few comfy chairs for your fellow sports fans – all with good views of your TV. And, of course, there is the TV itself. When it comes to watching sports, most people will tell you, ‘bigger is better’ and while it can be fun to go out and buy the biggest screen on the market, it’s important to ensure it’s the right one for your room. Do you have adequate wall space? If you are mounting it on the wall, do you have a strong enough brace? And what will you do with all the loose wires? It’s important, too, to choose the best type of television for the light in the room. Some types of screens are best for darker rooms, while others are better
for rooms with lots of natural light. Of course, before you go out and buy a new TV, you’ll probably want to discuss it with your significant other. (Otherwise, add another step to the television-buying process – buy blankets and a pillow for the couch, because that’s likely where you’ll be sleeping for a while). Another common problem that arises when friends get together to watch the big game is that of spills. An ideal room will be free of carpet or rugs – think tile or hardwood instead – or at least put an inexpensive rug in the high-traffic areas. As well, be sure to cover your coffee table with cloth – or, even reusable plastic coverings if your guests are particularly messy. Another added bonus to any sports den is a refrigerator – perfect for keeping the beverages cold without having to traipse back and forth to the kitchen. Of course, most homes don’t have room for a second full-size fridge, but bar-sized fridges and coolers are a perfect addition, and take up minimum space. Throw in some sports memorabilia, and you’ve got the perfect place to spend Sunday afternoons watching your favourite team.

Make the most of sale season Fall can be an ideal time of year for homeowners to tackle home improvement projects, as the moderate temperatures make for ideal conditions to work in and around the house. In addition, many retailers offer consumerfriendly sales in autumn, helping homeowners to save money. As early as September, many stores begin stocking their shelves in advance of the holiday season. As a result, stores look to unload summer and fall seasonal items. The following are just a few types of items homeowners might find at reduced prices this fall: Lawn and garden If you want to revamp your backyard, late summer/early autumn is the time to do so. You can find great deals on patio furniture, lawn mowers, perennials, shrubs, sheds, and many other lawn and garden items. In addition, check with local contractors to see if they will offer discounts late in the season. Tree-removal companies, landscapers, fence installers, masons, and others may cut prices in mid- to late-autumn as they look to earn a bit more money before the arrival of winter. Snow removal Retailers looking to move snow blowers, shovels and other winter accessories may offer teaser deals to attract customers. It’s best to purchase such tools now before the first big storm drives up demand. Cooking appliances Manufacturers typically introduce new stoves, cooktops and other cooking supplies in advance of the holiday season. Older models may be discounted to make room for the new arrivals, and you may be able to score even bigger savings on floor models. If renovating the kitchen is in the works, wait until early autumn to start appliance shopping. Painting supplies Long weekends surrounding are also great times to find deals on home improvement,

Homeowners plan scores of renovations to transform living spaces into rooms that reflect their personal tastes and comforts. However, homeowners going it alone may find things do not always go as planned. In fact, a Harris Interactive study found that 85 per cent of homeowners say remodeling is a more stressful undertaking than buying a home. Those about to embark on homeimprovement projects can make the process go more smoothly by avoiding these common pitfalls: Scope of project Some homeowners don’t realize just how big a commitment they have made until they get their hands dirty. Understanding the scope of the project – including how much demolition and reconstruction is involved and how much time a project will take – can help homeowners avoid some of the stress. For example, a bathroom renovation may require the removal of drywall, reinforcement of flooring and the installation of new plumbing and wiring behind walls. So such a renovation is far more detailed than simply replacing faucets. No budget Homeowners must develop a budget to ensure their projects do not drain their finances. If your budget is so inflexible that you can’t afford the materials you prefer, you may want to postpone and save more money so you can eventually do it right.
Without a budget, it is easy to overspend. Avoid the anxiety by setting a firm budget. Overpersonal improvements Homeowners who plan to stay for the long run have more free reign when it comes to renovations. They can create a billiards room or paint a room hot pink, if they so prefer. However, if the goal is to make improvements to sell a property, overly personal touches may make a property less appealing to prospective buyers. Trends come and go, and improvements can be expensive. If your ultimate goal is to sell, opt for renovations that will look beautiful through the ages and avoid bold choices that may only appeal to a select few buyers. Improperly vetting workers It is important to vet your contractor, but don’t forget to vet potential subcontractors as well. Failing to do so can prove costly. Contractors often look to subcontractors to perform certain parts of a job, and it is the responsibility of homeowners to vet these workers. Unrealistic expectations Optimism is great, but you also should be a realist. Knowing what could go wrong puts you in a better position to handle any problems as they arise. Overestimating DIY abilities Overzealous homeowners may see a reno project and immediately think they can do it themselves. Unless you have the tools and the skills, tackling too much can be problematic. In the long run, leaving the work to a professional may save you money. Home improvements can be stressful, but homeowners can lessen that stress by avoiding common mistakes.
It’s time to show you care Give your natural gas appliances the love they need this fall, and they’ll help keep your family safe and warm all winter long.

the “fellowship of the throne: pee, poo and toilet paper.” Jammed sewer pipes and pumps have been a growing headache and Metro says it’s already cost $100,000 so far this year to pry out twisted masses of the wipes that are often marketed as flushable. If the campaign works in Pitt Meadows – the regional district will measure if fewer wipes end up stuck in the pump station that serves that area – then expect the campaign to roll out across the region. Meanwhile, the pitch can be found at neverflushwipes.ca.

Q: How Does Coolsculpting Work? of us have fatty areas that resist A: Many diet and exercise. CoolSculpting uses controlled cooling to target and crystalize fat cells. The CoolSculpting treatment only affects fat cells. Caree Ludwar Following treatment the crystallized fat cells die by apoptosis and begin to collapse. Over the next few months they are gradually removed by the immune system. The dead fat cells and their contents are cleared through the lymphatic system. It goes to the liver where it is processed as waste. Results are usually seen within 8-10 weeks and continue to improve up to four months. In the time following treatment, remaining fat cells condense, reducing the fat layer. Fat layer reduction in targeted area leads to an improvement in appearance. Proven results without surgery or invasive procedures.

Placing just one ad and expecting a large response is not realistic. People need to see you, your name, your logo, repetitively for them to remember your business.

Your Real Estate Expert We would say, “Depends on what you are selling?” Residential detached homes in the Elgin and Semiahmoo School catchments are typically being purchased by off shore buyers. In their countries, most are known to negotiate, so to list, more than what the 3 best comparable sales in the area, is not Cindy & Dave Walker a bad thing. Because they are new to the Realtors market, these buyers typically look in wide price ranges. They are not shy to make a low offer to start negotiation of a sale with the seller. The townhome and condo market, is different. We find most buyers are locals, so it is perhaps better to list closer to the best 3 comparable sales. Locals tend to view less product and expect to make their offers closer to the list price. Now having said all this, the question is, “Are we going to see continued strength and price increases this fall, winter and next spring?” It is really anyone’s guess. Your pricing may simply reflect your motivation to sell. We would suggest it best to discuss your personal situation, with an experienced realtor working in your neighbourhood.

Q: Can A Naturopathic Physician Help Me Lose Weight?
A: Yes; Naturopathic Physicians have a vast nutritional
knowledge base, which is the foundation of a healthy and proper diet. They will also look into hormonal, psychological/emotional, metabolic and any other possible cause there may be in order to appropriately help each individual in their journey to optimal weight and health.
Q: What Is An Example Of How A Naturopathic Doctor Would Help?
Dr. Kathrine Tavakoli Naturopathic Doctor
A: Naturopathic medicine provides natural, safe, and
effective options for a healthy diet and lifestyle, which promotes permanent weight loss. A naturopathic weight loss plan will generally be a combination of dietary guidelines, a fitness plan, nutraceuticals (oral or intravenous) and detoxification aid.
Q: What Could A Weight Loss Plan Look Like For A Patient? A: A well-balanced and healthy diet. A diet rich in phytonutrients, whole foods,
and good fats. A work out regimen that fits their schedule. Weekly visits that include acupuncture (to help promote better digestion and further detoxification) and vitamin therapy. I have found that my patients progress very well with an 8-Week Program followed by periodic maintenance visits to ensure their lifestyle shift is permanent.

A new shakeup of Metro Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s garbage tipping fee system is being criticized as unfair. The regional district will charge all municipalities or their contractors a flat $100-pertonne rate next year to dump garbage collected from singlefamily homes. But private haulers that pick up from multi-family buildings will continue to pay $80 a tonne â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the lowest rate for large loads under the variable tipping fees that continue for commercial waste services. Coquitlam Coun. Craig Hodge voted against the change, calling it an unfair two-tier system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Out in the public, it looks like weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re favouring privatized services over city services,â&#x20AC;? Hodge told directors at the Sept. 18 Metro Vancouver board meeting. The $80-a-tonne rate for loads heavier than nine tonnes is unchanged, but the tipping fee on loads less than one tonne will rise from $130 to $133 per tonne, and the fee on mid-size loads climbs from $109 to $112 per tonne. Metro officials argued itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fairer to charge a flat fee on the municipal garbage so some

Chief administrative officer Carol Mason said many cities had budgeted to pay the midsize $109 per tonne rate, so the $100 rate is â&#x20AC;&#x153;better for many of them.â&#x20AC;? A staff report indicates that may rise to $109 per tonne in 2017. An additional $5 transaction fee is charged on all loads. Metro moved to the variable rates in April to give a deep discount to large commercial haulers who had increasingly

been sending waste to Abbotsford and then to a U.S. landfill because of the relatively higher cost of using Metro transfer stations. All other users have effectively had to subsidize the large loads. The regional district had tried last year to ban the shipping of garbage out of the region, but that was blocked by the provincial government. The outflow of commercial waste has sharply declined thanks to Metroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s price-cutting strategy, as well as the higher cost of sending garbage to the U.S. due to the weak Canadian dollar. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expected to mean Metro will avoid a $4.5-million deficit previously projected on its waste operations. The regional district has also cut eight jobs and pared $2 million from the $90-million solid waste budget. Directors say they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t return to a consistent tipping fee structure without once again spurring haulers to go elsewhere, depriving Metro of fees and the ability to enforce bans on the dumping of recyclables. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best compromise that we can come up with,â&#x20AC;? Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said. He blamed the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rejection of Metroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waste export ban for creating the pricing â&#x20AC;&#x153;chaos.â&#x20AC;? Several municipalities remain concerned that the higher tipping fees charged to people who take small loads of junk to a transfer station is causing more illegal dumping. But Metro officials say thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been no observed increase in illegal dumping, which they estimate at as many as 50,000 incidents a year, costing local cities an estimated $3 million to clean up.

Resignation comes as container truckers demand payment
Trucking commish quits Jeff Nagel Black Press
B.C.’s first Container Trucking Commissioner resigned last week amid criticism he failed to compel trucking firms to pay higher rates and retroactive pay required as part of a new licensing system that was supposed to stabilize the turbulent industry. Andy Smith resigned Sept. 15, seven months after taking the position. The commissioner was supposed to make companies comply with terms of an enforced settlement on rates that was imposed after truck drivers crippled container ports with a month-long strike in March of 2014 over low rates. But Smith’s appointment was controversial from the start, with union reps arguing his other role as president of the B.C. Maritime Employers Association put him in a conflict of interest, because BCMEA members run area container terminals. Gavin McGarrigle, B.C. area director for Unifor, which represents nearly 600 unionized truck drivers, said numerous “rogue” trucking companies outright refused to pay the higher rates set out in provincial legislation. He said they defied that requirement, as well as the payment of back pay retroactive to April 2014, while Smith dragged his feet

B.C.’s container-truck commissioner, Andy Smith, has resigned. on punishing them with the powers granted him by the province. “The fox was guarding the henhouse,” McGarrigle said of Smith, who could not be reached for comment. Unifor responded by going to court this summer to seek a judicial review of one of his decisions and and ask for an order that he enforce the container trucking regulations. On Aug. 10, Transportation Minister Todd Stone wrote to Smith directing him to enforce the regulations, “including fair remuneration for truckers” and retro pay, and reminding him of his duty to routinely post details of penalties he levies against vio-

The commissioner’s resignation comes as contract bargaining between the union and various trucking companies heats up, and a growing number of drivers are once again in a strike position. “It’s seven months of wasted opportunity,” McGarrigle said. “The drivers are still waiting to get the cheques in their hands. They feel that promises have been made and broken. So we see this as an opportunity to hit the reset button and get a new commissioner who actually wants to work with everyone.”

Arthur Miller’s legendary Pulitzer Prize-winning drama Death of a Salesman comes to the stage of the Coast Capital Playhouse (1532 Johnston Rd.) Oct. 7-24 as White Rock Players Club first production of the 2015-16 season. The 1949 classic is a tragic study of the unravelling of the life and dreams of tired commercial traveller Willy Loman. Starring as Willy is club president Fred Partridge, with well-known local actress Jane Mantle in the equally celebrated role of his longsuffering, supportive wife, Linda. Also featured in the production, directed by Ryan Mooney, are Tom Gage and Edwin Perez as older son ‘Biff ’ – a major disappointment to Willy – and younger son ‘Happy,’ who attempts to act as peacemaker in a rapidly disintegrating family situation. Evening performances are at 8 p.m. Wednesday to Saturday, with 2:30 p.m. Sunday matinees on Oct. 11 and 18. A special ‘Talk Back Thursday’ feature, Oct. 15, will allow audience members to discuss the show with the cast and the director immediately after the performance. Tickets ($22, $19 students, seniors and Coast Capital Savings members) can be purchased through www.whiterockplayers.ca, or from the theatre box, 604-5367535. The club’s annual audiencepleaser, the Christmas pantomime, will return Dec. 4 - Jan. 2, updating Charlotte Johnson’s 1960 script of Cinderella under the guidance of director Lisa Pavilionis. Marc Camoletti’s 1960s doorslammer farce Boeing, Boeing is set to hit the stage March 2-19 followed by Noel Coward’s brilliant 1930s comedy of manners Private Lives (April 13-30). The announced season closer will offer not one, but two versions of a classic comedy – a staging, on alternate nights, of both the male and female versions of Neil Simon’s The Odd Couple.

The original vampire thriller, Dracula, is back and bat-winging its way to Surrey – as well as venues in Vancouver and Maple Ridge – this October. The shape-shifting Count will alight at Surrey Arts Centre Oct. 8-10, at Vancouver’s Metro Theatre (Oct. 14-24) and at the ACT, Maple Ridge (Oct. 27-31). For this production Ellie King, ever-imaginative artistic director of Royal Canadian Theatre Company, is reviving the 1927 John Balderston-Hamilton Deane stage version of Bram Stoker’s famed gothic novel with a distinctly 1890s steampunk look. While the transformational Transylvanian is played more or less traditionally by Kurtis Maguire, his old nemesis, vampire expert Dr. Abraham Van Helsing, has been reincarnated as the beautiful, and equally mysterious, ‘Dr. Anna Van Helsing’ (Kathryn Stewart). Her daunting task is to protect innocent Lucy (Elyse Maloway), fiancee of Jonathan Harker (Surrey’s Adam Olgui) and daughter of Dr. Seward (Paul Fisher) who presides over a sanitarium in the English countryside. Aaron Paul Stewart plays Dracula’s maniacal helper Renfield, with Hannah Williams and Jamie O’Neill supplying comedy relief as the superstitious maid Miss Wells and sanitarium attendant Butterworth. Dracula runs at Surrey Arts Centre (13750 88 Ave.) from Thursday, Oct. 8 to Saturday, Oct. 10 at 8 p.m. – with an additional matinee Saturday ADVERTISING FEATURE growth, housing activity, auto sales and employment gains this strong, during any previous recession,” says Cooper. Seen as one of the most influential economists in Canada for several decades, Cooper says a provincial sectoral decline is a far cry from a true national recession. “Really what drove the numbers down were the difficulties in the oil patch. For Alberta there is a recession but for Canada as a whole, no. When oil prices were high, Alberta was booming and the Canadian dollar was strong. That hurt exports from the manufacturing sectors in Ontario and Quebec.”
Anyone who says Canada is in a recession isn’t an economist – says leading economist Ottawa, ON – Dr. Sherry Cooper, the chief economist for Dominion Lending Centres and long-time trusted economic commentator across North America, offered some strong opinion to recent reports Canada
is in an economic recession. “Everyone thinks it’s a recession except for economists! Real recessions see widespread contraction, which we simply aren’t seeing across the country. We have never seen consumption
Overall, Cooper remains bullish on the current state of the Canadian economy, “I think we are going to see a significant rebound . . . roughly to 2 1/2 per cent growth for the second half of this year and into next year.” This is a far cry from recent reports of growth forecasts of a much more conservative 1.1 percent growth for the coming year by a survey of 16 economists

Red Rock Diner Also coming up at Surrey Arts Centre is Arts Club Theatre’s touring version of Red Rock Diner (Oct. 14-24), the homegrown Vancouver hit inspired by the career of legendary DJ Red Robinson. In 1957 five teens come of age while Robinson spins the hottest platters of the era — from the raucous Great Balls of Fire and Jailhouse Rock to ballads like Diana and Crying. It’s an infectious rock ‘n’ roll musical that captures the excitement and innocence of the city’s burgeoning rock ‘n’ roll scene as well as showcasing conducted by Census Economics. But Cooper is basing her forecast on a number of factors, including the rebounding US economy, with US growth revised up to 3.7 percent in the second quarter. “It’s positive for Canada,” says Cooper. “We’ve seen that in the most recent export numbers . . . most of that trade is with US. In addition, despite the five-months of declining GDP this year, Canada’s job growth has been impressive. The 54,400 jump in August brought this year’s increase in full-time jobs to an impressive 174,000. Canadian consumers are buying big-ticket items, with home sales strong yet again last month (outside of Alberta), boosting mortgage activity, and auto sales showing big gains. Housing is likely to slow only modestly in the next year as the Bank of Canada keeps short-term interest rates at record lows and longer-term yields edge only modestly higher.” When it comes to the effect of the federal election, Cooper points

Two-goal effort from Darius Davidson gives Surrey 4-1 victory

Sports Reporter
he Surrey Eagles have made their way into the win column, thanks to a third-period push Sunday against the Prince George Spruce Kings. The Eagles, who sport a 1-3 record through the first two weeks of the BC Hockey League regular season, edged the divisionrival Kings 4-1 at South Surrey Arena, after a three-goal outburst in the final frame broke what until that point had been a 1-1 deadlock. The win broke a three-game losing streak for the Birds, who’d lost another home tilt Friday, 6-2 to the Penticton Vees. On Friday, the two clubs were tied 1-1 after the opening 20 minutes – Chris Gerrie opened the scoring for the Vees, but Surrey’s Matthew Hermary replied 15 minutes later – but in the second, Penticton scored three times in a span of 2:53 to blow the game open. “It was a good weekend for us,” said Eagles coach Blaine Neufeld. “We came out with intensity, and I thought we played well against Penticton, except for about a three-minute stretch where we fell asleep – and against a highly skilled team
like that, it’ll cost you.” On Sunday, Matthew Hermary gave the Eagles a 2-1 lead just three minutes into the third, and less than three minutes later, Darius Davidson scored a power-play marker to give his team a two-goal cushion. At the end of the period, Davidson scored again, this time into an empty net. The second-year forward leads the team – and is tied for third in the BCHL – with four goals in four games. “Darius is playing really well for us. We look to him to score and so far, so good,” Neufeld said. Paul McAvoy scored Surrey’s other goal, a shorthanded effort near the end of the second period. Neufeld gave credit to his troops for rebounding after the Friday defeat, and said the idea of going winless through the first two weekends of the schedule was not a palatable one. “I was happy with our leadership group. The guys held a players-only meeting on Sunday morning – they didn’t want to let things drag on, and were desperate to get a win. “They came out and played well. We took a few too many penalties, maybe, but five-

Jays visit for Baseball Day Three Toronto Blue Jay greats were on the Semiahmoo Peninsula over the weekend, lending a hand at White Rock Baseball Day. The event â&#x20AC;&#x201C; held Sunday and organized by the White RockSouth Surrey Baseball Association and the Blue Jaysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Jays Care Foundation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; drew more than 100 young ball players to South Surrey Athletic Park, where they worked with former Toronto Blue Jays Roberto Alomar, Duane Ward and Jess Barfield. As well, members of the White Rock AllStars â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â who represented Canada last month at the Little League World Series â&#x20AC;&#x201C; were also in attendance. The trio of former Jays was introduced to the crowd by WRSSBA president Michael Gorman and SurreyWhite Rock MLA Gordon Hogg, at which time Alomar â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who was inducted into the baseball hall of fame in 2011 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; remarked, tongue-in-cheek, that the rainy, overcast weather reminded him of his home country of Puerto Rico. Alomar, who played second base, is one of the most popular Jays in team history, and was a key member of both Blue Jay World Series-winning teams, in 1992 and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;93. Ward, a relief pitcher, was also on the two World Series squads,
while Barfield was a key member of the talented Toronto teams of the 1980s. In addition to on-field instruction, the event also
included lunch, and an autograph session with the three former majorleaguers. Funds raised from the event â&#x20AC;&#x201C; almost $25,000, according to organizers

He was predeceased by his parents and brothers Walter and Bobby.

A thank you beyond words is due to the people at Wexford Creek. Their care and compassion shows in their words and deeds every day. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Good Samaritan Society which operates this outstanding facility would be welcomed. Bill’s life will be celebrated on September 23rd at 2:00 pm during a celebration of life in the chapel at Wexford Creek, k, 80, 10th Street, Nanaimo B.C.. We will miss his laugh, his conversation, ation, ion, and his sense of humour. His love will live in our hearts. s.
