Oily substance found in South Surrey pond suspected to be dumped paint

Bill for ducks’ cleanup to top $7,000 Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

More than a dozen oily mallards are undergoing care in Burnaby after being rescued from a polluted South Surrey pond last week. Janelle VanderBeek, care co-ordinator at the Wildlife Rescue Association, said 15 of the ducks are being treated and cleaned – including five confirmed males and five confirmed females, some with chemical burns – and three more are the focus of an ongoing rescue effort. “These animals won’t survive without care and without being cleaned,” VanderBeek told Peace Arch News Friday. The association was alerted to contamination at the pond – located on property in the 18800block of 8 Avenue – the previous Tuesday by officials at Hazelmere RV Park and Campground who had reported a sheen on the water that had been there for four or five days. A WRA volunteer sent that day to scope out the extent of the problem saw two ducks that had been impacted by the pollution, but was unable to catch them, VanderBeek said. Wednesday, two volunteers dispatched to the scene caught three affected ducks and it was estimated at that time that five more of the 18 known to call the area home were also affected. i see page 4

Purse-snatch victim, 88, wants to warn others Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A South Surrey senior who was the victim of a snatch-and-grab two weeks ago said the experience has left her feeling vulnerable while out and about in the community. But the 88-year-old, who was in a wheelchair at the time she was victimized, said she has learned from the theft, and is taking steps to reduce the risk of being targeted again – steps she hopes other seniors will consider, for their own sake.

“I’m very concerned for other people,” she before grabbing her purse and fleeing. said. “There was a lady at the bank machine “I got inside that shop… and just as I just before me and she was very, very frail. was wondering why the door hadn’t closed Someone like that, it’s behind me, I was pushed going to be far more dif- ❝There was a lady at the bank forward,” she said. machine (who) was very, very She is confident the culprit ficult if she is attacked.” The senior, who asked frail.

The senior was treated in hospital for injuries to her left arm, which remains sore. Her purse strap had been wrapped around her shoulder, wrist and elbow when the thief struck. i see page 4

Outgoing MP outlines his achievements over 11 years in office

Hiebert ‘looks forward to next chapter’ South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale MP Russ Hiebert has dedicated his final community newsletter to outlining his achievements over the years and thanking constituents for their support. Describing his 11 years in office as “life changing”, Hiebert named his private member’s bill becoming law – requiring labour organizations to publicly disclose finances – as a highlight, along with his stance on crime, role in improving trade and transit with the U.S. and “being an active participant in the significant accomplishments and milestones of our government.”

First elected in 2004, Hiebert held the seat for four consecutive terms before making a surprise announcement in February 2014 that he would not be seeking a fifth term. In a news release issued at that time, he explained that it “has never been my ambition to be a career politician.” Last week, he told Peace Arch News he plans to return to the private sector to “pursue some business opportunities,” and spend more time with his family. “I’m looking forward to this next chapter,” he said in a voicemail. A spokesperson for Hiebert said the Con-

Police receive daily complaints over aggressive phone calls

Tax scam keeps local RCMP officers hopping Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A scam that has been making the rounds across Canada in recent months – threatening citizens with criminal proceedings unless they pay an outstanding tax bill – has been keeping White Rock RCMP busy of late. “We’re getting multiple files every day,” Sgt. Joel Glen said Friday, referring to reports fielded in the past month of calls purportedly coming from Canada Revenue Agency.

“(Residents are) calling us every day because they think they’re in trouble. We’ve had days where we’ve had over 10 (reports) in one day. Everybody in White Rock’s being hit right now.” The scam involves callers identifying themselves as CRA officials, and threatening criminal proceedings or “legal consequences” if the victim does not act quickly. Typically, the caller is looking for personal and/or banking information.

Glen said he is not aware of any locals who have lost money to the scam, however, one man who was targeted believed he was in trouble and showed up to the detachment to turn himself in. Glen said the perpetrators are aggressive, and he cautioned against giving any weight to such calls. “People calling claiming to be from government agencies, it’s almost always a scam because that’s not the way they operate,” he said. According to information on

Implant-Supported Dentures

the CRA’s website, the agency recommends vigilance, and to never respond to any communications in which the caller wants personal information such as a social insurance number, credit card details, bank account number or passport number. “These scams may insist that this personal information is needed so that the taxpayer can receive a refund or a benefit payment,” states information on the agency’s website. “Cases of fraudulent commu-

i from page 1 But on a return visit Thursday, one staff member and three volunteers rounded up 12 more. After stabilizing them, cleaning got underway Friday. With 10 to 12 people on the task, five ducks were cleaned by 3 p.m. and VanderBeek expected at least another three would be cleaned by day’s end. She said the contaminant has not been conclusively identified, but is believed to be oil-based paint. It’s also believed the substance was intentionally dumped in the pond. VanderBeek said for the ducks,

“it’s like wearing a wet blanket.” Without help, they are at risk of hypothermia and death, she said. While it’s “looking good” for most of the rescued ducks, VanderBeek described the situation as “so sad and so unnecessary.” And with no one liable “at this point in time,” full cost of the cleaning and treating – estimated at $35 per duck, per day, and expected to reach between $7,000 and $10,000 – falls to the association, which relies heavily on donations to operate. “We’re hoping the public will be able to support us,” she said,

noting donations can be made online at www.wildliferescue.ca or by phone, at 604-526-7275. The ducks are to remain in care until they are fully recovered and the pond has been cleaned; the latter process reportedly got underway Thursday. “Once it’s fully cleaned and once they are fully waterproofed, we’ll be letting them go in the same spot.” Noting the facility routinely receives two or three animals a day from the Surrey area, VanderBeek said there is also a need for transport volunteers in this area who are available to help.

‘I’m going to do things differently’ i from page 1 Carrying less – a smaller purse, less cash and fewer cards – while out and about is one of the things the senior said she is doing differently as a result of the theft. She is also installing a personalsafety device near the hand controls of her wheelchair, and is making a point of knowing who is around her. “As seniors, we’ve got to be aware of our surroundings,” she

said, noting the advice applies to all seniors, not just those with mobility issues. “If you’re concerned about someone, you look them in the eye,” she added. “Let them know you’re aware of them and your surroundings. They’ll probably think twice.” Online personal-safety tips from the RCMP also encourage seniors to walk only in well-lit areas; shop in pairs or groups;

and to walk in the centre of a sidewalk, away from doors and alleys. While she is making changes, the South Surrey senior was quick to dispel any suggestion that the thief got the best of her or impacted her enjoyment of life. “They will not do that to me,” she said. However, “I’m going to do things so differently.”

White Rock RCMP looking to curb increase in stolen vehicles

Police offer anti-theft help Tracy Homes Staff Reporter

An increase this year in the number of cars being stolen in White Rock has prompted an offer to residents with vehicles identified as high-risk. Crime prevention co-ordinator Julia Everett said owners of pre2000 vehicles are invited to turn out to the White Rock Community Centre between 10 a.m. and noon or 2 and 4 p.m. on Oct. 21 to receive an anti-theft club free of charge. Those with vehicles identified as on a top-10 high-risk list – which includes Honda Civic CRX, Ford F150, Acura Integra and more – are also eligible for

the device. “It’s not just older vehicles that are at risk,” Everett noted. In the first nine months of 2015, 48 vehicles had been reported stolen in White Rock – just 11 fewer than that stolen in all of last year. There were 38 stolenvehicle reports in 2013. “One month (this year), we had 14 – that’s big for White Rock,” Everett said. According to ICBC, auto crime across the province saw a decade of consistent decline prior to last year, when police data showed a 31 per cent increase in the problem. Older vehicles are easier targets for thieves because they are less

likely to have security features such as built-in immobilizers. White Rock residents planning to take advantage of the Oct. 21 offer are asked to bring their vehicle’s registration. The clubs – sponsored by the Semiahmoo Volunteer Community Police Society, which raised an estimated $30,000 for community policing programs at its annual Red Serge Gala and Auction Oct. 1 – will be available on a firstcome, first-served basis. Those who qualify for a club but are unable to make it to the event may contact Everett at 778593-3611. The community centre is located at 15154 Russell Ave.

Surrey RCMP have arrested a 28-year-old Surrey man in connection with a string of liquor-store thefts in South Surrey and Fleetwood. Cpl. Scotty Schumann announced the arrest late Thursday morning, noting it resulted from a tip from the public. “On Oct. 5, Surrey RCMP was contacted by a member of the public who believed they had identified and located the suspect in the Guildford area of the city after seeing our news release,” Schumann writes, referring to a release issued that morning which included a series of images captured by CCTV.

“Officers attended and arrested a 28-year-old male from Surrey who was wanted on charges of breach of probation.” Police appealed for the public’s help identifying a prolific shoplifter earlier this week, noting that 23 liquor stores had been targeted since June 26 by what appeared to be the same individual. Schumann noted Thursday that the investigation is ongoing, and police are recommending a number of theft charges. The arrested individual’s name was not released. – Tracy Holmes

Let’s STOP Harper In South Surrey - White Rock

Pixie Hobby

As a environmental lawyer with the Federal Government for over 32 years, I saw first hand how the Harper Conservative have threatened everything that makes Canada great. They have gutted our federal environmental laws, including Canada’s Environmental Assessment Act which I crafted in 1992. He has waged war on science and evidence, muzzling our federal scientists and trashing the long form census. My colleagues who represented Canada at international meetings on climate change, were ridiculed and told to “go home” as Canada had nothing to offer and was “blocking progress”. The Harper Conservatives have threatened our Canadian Charter Rights with Bill C-51 and Bill C-24. He has eroded our democracy through the “Fair” Elections act and abusive use of omnibus bills. Someone needed to stand up for our Canadian values, and I felt compelled to take action. “I saw first hand how the Harper Government has

threatened everything that makes Canada great...

I agreed to run as a candidate and I felt compelled to take action.” 32 Years as a Federal Environmental Lawyer for the NDP as I was impressed by our local party’s track record and commitment to working with our community. Over the last two for years, the South Surrey-White Rock NDP has supported local groups such issues as the US coal trains, the transportation of dangerous goods by rail, and the Harper Government’s cuts to home mail delivery and cuts to benefits and services for veterans. As a result of this engagement, our campaign has had over 150 volunteers donating their time and energy, many of whom are not NDP members, but concerned citizens who want to see positive change. We have no paid workers, and all our funding has come from individuals in our community: not one cent from business, labour, or multinational corporations.

South Surrey-White Rock

The NDP in this riding has proven it listens to our citizens and supports their concerns all the time, not just during elections. Serving our community is my first priority. I have canvassed door-to-door for two months listening to citizens from all walks of life. Their overwhelming message is “anyone but Harper”. Poll results from our riding (unlike the polls from Ontario and Quebec) show that we are the only party that can defeat the Harper Conservatives In South Surrey and White Rock, and we are very close to doing just that! When elected, I promise to build on the foundation established by our local team. I will be available to all constituents; I will listen; I will support community action groups; I will engage you in policy and decision making on the issues that are important to you. I believe we are stronger when we work together. We are a party of hope and optimism. Together we can protect the environment and grow our economy; provide affordable housing, day care, and pot-secondary education; revitalize our national health care system; and deliver greatly improved services for seniors and veterans. I humbly ask for your confidence and vote on October 19th. Together, we can restore this wonderful country we call home. -Pixie Hobby, NDP Candidate for South Surrey-White Rock

Let’s pencil in new technology

t is 2015, and still we are doing things the hard way. We put a man on the moon nearly half a century ago, we’ve cured diseases, we can watch television on our phones in the middle of the desert and 3D technology has come and gone… then come and gone again. Yet, despite all these advances, we’re still voting with pencils and little slips of perforated paper. What an age we live in. Across the Lower Mainland last weekend – and the rest of the country, too – voters at advance polls lined up in droves, waiting not-so-patiently in lines that exceeded one hour, sometimes two. It’s not just voters who are frustrated, either. In the riding of Vancouver Centre, a federal elections information officer angrily quit, storming out of the advance-polling station after becoming increasingly frustrated with ever-growing wait times and what he said was a lack of help from Elections Canada. Earlier this week, officials across the country apologized to voters for the excessive wait times, saying the delays were largely a result of voter turnout being far greater than expected. This, of course, can be a good thing. Voter turnout is almost always lower than it should be, and any sign of it on the uptick should be applauded. But regardless of the reason, one thing is clear: We can do better. The idea of online voting has been bandied about for years, and has especially gained steam among younger voters, many of whom are more comfortable casting a digital ballot from their smartphones or computers than they are standing in lines at the gym of their local high school. There are those, of course, who worry – perhaps rightfully – about computer hacking and other technological glitches compromising the accuracy and legitimacy of something as important as an election. But every day, millions of Canadians bank and run businesses online, buy and sell goods and send all manner of sensitive information over the Internet. If that can be done securely, voting can be too, one assumes. If nothing else, digitalizing the in-person experience would speed up the process – perhaps having election officials search for voter names in an online database, rather than having them sift through binder after binder, searching for last names and addresses. For better or worse, we are an increasingly impatient society, and anything that can improve the voting process should be considered.

This is the management system put in place in 2003, when the B.C. Liberal government changed its approach to forest management. Gone was the NDP’s infamous seven-volume “Forest Practices Code,” which attempted to micromanage every detail of a timber licence, right down to inspecting for litter left at a logging site. In came “results-based” forest management, where licence holders had to produce a plan showing stream protection and other values. The Forest Practices Board has found these plans often aren’t good for much, although results are generally good when they follow up with on-the-ground audits of actual timber harvest areas. The investigation found that many of the plans cover “vast and overlapping areas of the province, and were written using legal language that makes them very difficult for public understanding or review.” Little has changed since a similar finding in 2006. During that time, the forests ministry was turned into Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, with greatly increased responsibility over wildlife, mining, gas drilling and so on. Columbia River-Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald, who travelled the province as NDP forests critic in recent years, says the problem now is there just aren’t enough people on the ground to assess what’s going on in our huge expanse of Crown land. Meanwhile the city media covers professional protesters issuing demands about the Walbran Valley. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Editor: Re: Criticism over OCP panelists, Oct. 2 Thank goodness there are residents of White Rock that have the ability to do proper research and bring to light such a flawed selection process for such an important committee. I do not know the actual mandate for the OCP Working Group, but I am certain their deliberations will be quoted and accepted by the prodevelopment city council members. There is an obvious agenda of high density outside the city core, so when ‘friends’ – developers/ donators – to the mayor and council members are selected to a working group, the agenda has a much better opportunity to succeed. You would think that the minimum standard for selection to any type of working group that has an influence on the OCP of White Rock would be residency in the community! The vast majority – as evidenced by a recent PAN online question – of White Rock residents are opposed to this high-density agenda and their voices deserve to be heard. George Scott, White Rock Q As a brand-new resident to the area, I read your story about appointments to a mayor’s advisory committee for community planning with both amusement and concern. Seems the city is appointing people who are ‘connected’ in the worst possible sense of the word. Never ever allow anyone in the real-estate business to be involved in any planning, other than when they appear before council in the public forum, and I will tell you why. Many years ago, I visited Salt Spring Island; I did again just last year. On the recent trip we came across some subdivisions that could be in Richmond. They looked totally out of place and ugly. Turns out the people had elected members of the real estate business and they pushed the concept into play and got their own way. Big mistake, in my view. But so is appointing people to public committees that make recommendations to politicians. Never appoint people to boards who have a vested interest, as in never because you will not get an unbiased view, not when they can benefit financially from decisions that allows them direct benefits. It makes no sense to do so. Mark Tyson, Surrey

Editor: Re: Pay parking at hospitals to continue, Oct. 7. Perhaps Fraser Health board chair Karen Matty has missed her calling to be a comedian. I laughed when I read her comment that people should “carpool to hospitals or arrange drop-off.” I don’t know what kind of world she lives in, but in my world people find it difficult to arrange a carpool when they suddenly realize that they need to drive someone to the hospital for pressing medical reasons and often end up needing

Numbers revealing Editor: Re: Absolutely no reason to resign, Oct. 7 Wow! Seventy-seven people out of a city of 18,000 don’t like the mayor. He must be devastated. LOL. Ed Holden, White Rock

to park for a few hours. Also, dropping the person off at the hospital is not something that we do in my world either. We prefer to support each other in times of need. Visiting and/or remaining with a patient – friend or family – is important to us. It’s just how we like to treat each other. She states that the money raised from parking fees is used for “maintaining the lots, for snow removal, and lighting, etc.” Well, show me the money and do the math. Somehow, I just can’t imagine that these expenses require the amount of money that is collected hourly, daily, weekly, etc. However, I need more information to be certain about that. Please show me the figures. M. Cooper, White Rock

Public outcry heard before Editor Re: Unsuitable area for development, Oct. 7 letters. The numerous letters in your Oct. 7 edition – all speaking against the idea of a truck parking lot in South Surrey – remind me that not so long ago it was just such a public outcry that forced the previous mayor to vote against the idea of a casino in South Surrey (Casino project a bust, Jan. 22, 2013). The present mayor would do well to bear that in mind when she starts thinking about votes the next time around. Jim Armstrong, Surrey

Deviants hide behind many faiths Editor: Re: Reality of fear, Sept. 30 letters. I would like to thank letter-writer P. Bistritan for his/ her comments about “moderate” Muslims, as it gives me the opportunity to speak up. I do believe that is what he/she is asking me to do as a ‘moderate’ Muslim. Before I go further, I think it’s important to make a very clear distinction. In Islam, there are variations, as would be expected in any faith of 1.6 billion followers. There are variations in the way we pray; in the percentage of our incomes we must give back to the communities; in our reasons for fasting; in reasons for going on pilgrimage… These are variations in Islam. Being a criminal, a terrorist, an evil person – this has absolutely nothing to do with Islam. It is a deviation. It is not a version of Islam. It is not a type of Islam. Now, I am not going to speak for 1.6 billion people. Some people might be OK being called a “moderate” Muslim, but I prefer to be called, simply, Muslim. To call me anything else suggests that there is a different type of Muslim out there, and it just isn’t so. To answer the letter writer’s question – “where are the moderate Muslims?” – we are here. We’re doing the same things you do. We’re going to work to put food on the table, we’re walking our kids to school and helping them with their homework, we’re volunteering with charities, we’re hanging out with our neighbours. We are artists and business people, engineers and non-profit founders. And we are also worried, afraid and angry about the deaths around the world at the hands of these people. Why aren’t we speaking up against jihadists? We are. In some countries, we are writing articles and letters to the editor, and speaking on radio shows. In other

countries, we’re carrying on with activities that these criminals have condemned – and are being killed for it. You would find it fascinating to learn about the kinds of ways Muslims are standing up for human rights. We are being distracted and divided by these kinds of questions – where are the “moderate” Muslims and why aren’t they speaking up. The thing is, nobody expects members of the Christian faith to be responsible for shutting down the KKK. We all know that Christians do not condone the behaviour of that group and nobody expects that Christians be solely responsible for speaking up against them. There are deviants and criminals masquerading for all kinds of faith groups, and nobody expects just one faith group to stand up to them. If we continue to see these criminals as Muslim and as a Muslim problem for the “moderates” to take the lead on, we will continue to be divided. We need to, as a social collective, understand that this is a problem within humanity and for humanity. It is only then, when we actually come together on that intellectual level, that we can begin to create a world of peace. Taslim Jaffer, Surrey

Sound reason against niqabs Editor: Another reason that the niqab should not be worn in some situations is that hearing-impaired people who rely on lip reading would be negatively affected. In Canada we Canadians pride ourselves in going out of our way to help those with disabilities. Lorraine Pfortmueller, Surrey

Animal rescue group left in limbo while police investigate theft

Stolen SALI truck found Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The founder of an organization that pairs rescued farm animals with at-risk kids is crediting social media with locating the stolen vehicle she uses to help keep the farm running. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Absolutely,â&#x20AC;? Semiahmoo Animal League Inc.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Keryn Denroche said Friday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That one (Facebook post) looked like it was shared over 600 times. Definitely social media did it.â&#x20AC;? Denrocheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Toyota RAV4 was taken from her Ocean Park culde-sac on Oct. 5, and she quickly put the word out on Facebook and Twitter, including a photo of the vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rear window, which bears a distinctive decal with the SALI name and logo. She told Peace Arch News last Wednesday that she wanted anyone who saw the RAV4 â&#x20AC;&#x153;to know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not driving it.â&#x20AC;? However, the next evening Denroche was notified her vehicle had been spotted at the side of the road near 144 Street and 24A Avenue by a local business person familiar with the non-profit. And while the news is good, Denroche said police have told her she wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the Toyota back â&#x20AC;&#x153;for a couple weeksâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â until after it has been processed for evidence.

Until then, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still in limbo.â&#x20AC;? The vehicle is instrumental to SALIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I pick up hay in it for the farm, I take animals to the vet with it, I pick up donated pet foodâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? Denroche said. While she is able to use her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truck temporarily, a rental may be required if she canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the RAV4 back soon. Denroche described the theft as â&#x20AC;&#x153;just so ironic.â&#x20AC;? She established SALI as a means to help lead kids away from crime. The experience has been one of

few negatives for the organization, which last month celebrated its relocation to rural South Surrey. The Sept. 12 Black Tails & Boots Gala â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which raised $14,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;was so wonderful,â&#x20AC;? Denroche said. Guests were able to mingle with the farm animals, including a baby goat that arrived at SALI just two days prior. Denroche said the kid was found in Surrey, in the back of an abandoned stolen car. They named him Clyde, after one-half of the notorious Depression-era gangsters, Bonnie and Clyde.

Two separate crashes at transit stops in Surrey last week

Man killed waiting for bus Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Two crashes at bus stops in North Surrey last week have left one man dead and two more injured. Last Wednesday, 22-year-old Evan Archibald was killed when a Jeep driven by a 17-yearold girl struck him while he waited at a bus shelter on Fraser Highway near 156 Street. Archibald was taken to hospital in critical condition, but succumbed to his injuries. The girl who was driving remained at the scene and co-operated with police. Archibald is the stepson of Greg Drew, who lost his own son in a car crash in 2003. Drew has taken to speaking at schools about road safety ever since and created a fundraising concert and website, Jamminâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 4 Jay Charitable Society, in memory of his son, 17-year-old Jason â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jayâ&#x20AC;?

Surrey celebrates top cops Sheila Reynolds Black Press

You may recognize Insp. Ghalib Bhayani from your local coffee shop, where he’s been meeting and chatting with the public this year for a series of community outreach sessions. Within the Surrey RCMP, he is known for his dedication and work ethic and role-model skills. He also speaks four languages. But since early summer, he has led the Surrey RCMP’s Community Mobilization process, more commonly known as Coffee with a Cop sessions, where he and other officers speak to residents on issues affecting their neighbourhoods. It’s this outreach that helped earn Bhayani the Police Officer of the Year - Nominated by Community title on Thursday evening. Bhayani was among nine people and organizations honoured at the 19th annual Surrey Board of Trade Police Officer of the Year Awards. Also named Police Officer of the Year - Nominated by Peers, was Sgt. Michael Sanchez, who was commended for his “innovative and collaborative” approach to policing in the City Centre neighbourhood. As A Watch Senior NCO in the area, he has developed and overseen several initiatives, including one with Surrey Community Corrections to monitor people on probation who are living in Surrey. Others honoured Thursday were: • Consts. Ryan Camping and Carl Garlinski - Arnold Silzer Community Policing Initiative Award Brought together by the Surrey RCMP and Transit Police, the pair has worked collaboratively to enhance police presence and improve public safety at Surrey Central SkyTrain station. • Roger Reid - Volunteer of the Year Reid works with the Cloverdale/Port Kells District 4 and is involved with the Speed Watch Team, Lock Out Auto Crime audits, Distracted Driving campaigns, and › see page 12

Dozens take part in Walk & Roll to School Week in South Surrey

Students on a roll for safety Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A little bit of rain did not dampen the spirit of participation among dozens of Jessie Lee Elementary students and parents last Wednesday as they biked, scootered or walked to school en masse from Peninsula Village. Being high-fived by a tree – City of Surrey mascot, Douglas Fir – when they got there was an added bonus. “This is the best day,” one student exclaimed before heading onto the school grounds for celebratory snacks and stickers. The students convened at the shopping centre, in the 15400block of 24 Avenue, at 8 a.m. Wednesday to travel to school together as part of Walk & Roll to School Week, a initiative

that encourages safe and active travel to and from school. It was also part of the city’s Active Schools Program, which is focused on creating a safe and

friendly environment, while building a livelier community and healthier youth. In addition to Douglas Fir, officers with Surrey

RCMP’s youth and bike units participated in the festivities, handing out stickers and chatting with the kids. School principal Carol Davison described the turnout – 60 to 80 kids – as “great,” noting that about one-third of Jessie Lee’s 303 students had taken the walk-to-school challenge to heart every day that week. Wednesdays will continue to be walk-to-school day throughout the year, she said. Efforts are ongoing to build confidence in the practice, Davison said. “We’re trying to break that perception that it’s not safe, and that it takes longer,” she said, noting it took her seven minutes to walk to the school from Peninsula Village – “and I was walking with a kindergartener.”

Does sustainability sound like fun for kids? The new Kids Gallery at the Surrey Museum makes a go of it, with big ideas and green activities – including an indoor tree fort that rises to the ceiling. The interactive gallery helps children learn about challenging concepts such as sustainability, climate change, carbon footprint and energy conservation. “It’s like nothing else in the Lower Mainland,” said Greg Yellenik, curator for the museum. “Kids can do safe experiments about electricity and even discover how many chocolate bars equal the energy in a bucket of coal. There’s a huge tree fort for climbing, an energy bike for riding and lots more.” The gallery will be refreshed through Fall 2016 with changing themes of energy, water and agriculture. Surrey Museum (17710 56A Ave.) is now open on Sundays from 12-5 p.m. Call 604-5926956 for more info.

It has been important to coastal First Nations for as long as they have lived along our coast; it’s a valuable timber species because of its durability, good strength-to-weight ratio, and straight grain; and in the past five years, cedar made up 16.7 per cent of the $3.4 billion worth of wood exported from B.C., although it comprised only 5.5 per cent of the shipped volume.

A Clinical Research Study in Migraine Prevention

Family businesses in our community drive both innovation and employment and are “vital to the development of both the prosperity and character of their communities.” Studies have shown that family businesses Ànancially outperform non-family Àrms, particularly when faced with challenging economic conditions. Because of their unique qualities, family business clients can beneÀt in dealing with advisors who recognize the advantages and challenges of the family enterprise and who can assist in creating and maintaining opportunities unique to the family business while navigating through and mitigating the risks and unique challenges family businesses face. In June 2015, Kim Karras, managing partner at the law Àrm Brawn Karras & Sanderson, achieved her designation of Family Enterprise Advisor (FEA) from the Institute of Family Enterprise Advisors. “Family Enterprise Advisors see the whole picture in dealing with business families because they understand the nuanced and complex issues that are unique to family enterprise” (www.ifea.ca). As a Family Enterprise Advisor, Kim integrates her own discipline (the practice of law) with those of other professionals such as accountants, bankers, insurance advisors, wealth advisors and Ànancial planners, in order to provide collaborative and complementary advice to business family clients. With a broader perspective and skills related to the business and legal issues that families traditionally face, Kim can assist in business succession and transition planning, corporate and family governance, wills, estate and trust planning. What does your family succession business plan look like and what steps can be taken to ensure that your family business survives to the next generation and the next?

Your Real Estate Expert do we need to know about Q: What buying our first home? a home doesn’t have to be A: Buying intimidating. Just remember these key points to make this big step a successful one: • Get pre-approved. Ensure your credit rating doesn’t have any glitches that could set you back. Know how much you can honestly Laura Thibeault afford before writing on a home that’s out of Realtor your price range. Give yourself a cushion. • Try not to get emotional. Be careful about falling in love with something that won’t hold value over time. Beware of shoddy construction. Location really matters!

commonly associated with a high-arched foot. The back of the heel pushes and rubs against the back of the shoe. Both the tendon and soft tissues can become inflamed and painful. Causes: In a high-arched foot, the heel bone (calcaneus) Dr. Howard Green can have an altered alignment, which causes an Podiatrist enlargement of the bone in the back of the heel. Often, the body will create a fluid-filled sac (bursa) in order to protect the tendon and other soft tissues. When wearing shoes or boots, this bursa gets pushed up against the heel counter, and becomes very painful. Treatment: Try cutting away the heel area of the shoe in order to reduce pressure against the bony prominence. Or, place a doughnut-shaped pad or strip padding on either side of the bump to help reduce direct contact with the shoe. If these don’t work, consult a podiatrist who may treat the bursa with a topical or injectable medication to reduce the inflammation. In severe cases surgery may be required in order to remove some of the offending bone, so that normal activities can be resumed, pain-free. Prevention: If you have a high-arched foot, wear a well-padded shoe or sneaker that does not have an excessively firm heel counter. Activity Restrictions: None. It depends on the severity of pain and inflammation.

Few places in Surrey can claim crime as an issue with the same authority as Newton. The community has been embattled with a level of violent crime the likes of which has been seen nowhere else in the city. From the brutal murder of a hockey mom outside a civic arena in 2013, to multiple mid-day gun fights between two groups warring for drug turf in recent months – Newton has seen it all. It’s no surprise that candidates heading into this upcoming federal election see public safety as the most important issue facing the riding of Surrey-Newton. ••• Conservative candidate for Surrey-Newton Harpreet Singh says crime is by far the top issue being discussed on the doorstep. The 47-year-old radio and TV host says he’s been to more than 18,000 homes in the riding. “Prevention of crime is on everybody’s list,” Singh says. “Especially the increasing use of drugs.” Singh says he would take a three-pronged approach to solving the problem in Newton. More police officers are coming, he notes, adding that out of the 100 officers requested this year, “43 are on the ground.” He would also initiate additional education programs for parents and youth. “And the third prong is going to be involving the community in decision making,” Singh says. “I’m going to divide this riding into four parts, and each two months we will have town-hall meetings.” Singh says the number-two issue in the riding is “integration.” Surrey is growing at a breakneck pace and people of all nationalities are being added to the mix. He says that while multicultural programs exist, most new immigrants remain clustered amongst

themselves, rather than mixing with different nationalities. “We are living in our own cocoons,” Singh says. “We are not integrating in the community.” Multicultural societies which receive federal funding could better be serving their expressed purpose, he believes. “These groups, which claim to be representing different ethnic groups, they get funding from the government but they just spend it on their own.” Singh vows he would ensure that funding received would not just be spent on one ethnic group, but would be used to help people of different ethnic origins get to know one another. Separation breeds fear, he says, causing some to act out. If fear is reduced, he reasons, crime drops. The economy is also high on people’s minds, according to those going out looking for votes. Singh says the Conservatives are doing well at responding to the global economic downturn. Locally, Singh wants to orga-

nize meetings between youth and elders, where the latter can help younger people with their trades. “We hear that our youngsters are not getting good jobs,” he says. “My office will be a hub, where we will be guiding the youngsters… let’s work together with the elders who have the experience and try to create jobs.” ••• Liberal candidate Sukh Dhaliwal agrees crime is the numberone issue in the riding. “Newton has been one of the hardest-hit communities as far as safety and security on the streets is concerned,” Dhaliwal says. “Every day we see a shooting going on.” The 55-year-old engineer and surveyor says he would ensure delivery of the 100 officers requested by Surrey by this time next year. “My first priority will be to see that Surrey gets 100 officers,” Dhaliwal says. “I have to make sure we can deliver – that this is not just the talk.” i see page 20

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Affordabilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; also viewed as a top issue i from page 19 He also believes courts need to focus on those who are causing the real trouble on our streets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to lock up the real criminals, not the first-time minor crimesâ&#x20AC;Ś those that pose little safety risk to the society.â&#x20AC;? Dhaliwal, who lives just outside the riding, was the member of Parliament from 2006-2011 in Newton-North Delta (before the boundaries were re-drawn). â&#x20AC;&#x153;My record on crime

is pretty clear. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter which party brought in a bill on crime, I always supported that bill,â&#x20AC;? he says. Dhaliwal also plans to bolster funding for community-based programming that would keep youth away from criminal activity. As for the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rapid growth, he says the federal government needs to do more, including delivering funds for Surreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s LRT (Light Rail Transit) project. The Liberals are

promising $125 billion for transportation over the next 10 years, with $20 billion of that earmarked specifically for public transit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is going to benefit municipalities like Surrey right away,â&#x20AC;? Dhaliwal says. Noting there are 170,000 fewer younger people (aged 25 or younger) working today in Canada than prior to 2008, Dhaliwal says the Liberal plan is to provide $500 million in annual funding for labour-mar-

In addition, he says the Liberals would put $300 million toward youthemployment strategies. He also wants to support the middle-class, including a seven-percent tax cut for families earning $44,701-$89,401 annually. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It means a couple would get $1,350 (on average) more into their pockets (annually),â&#x20AC;? Dhaliwal says, noting an increase for high-income earners is required. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will increase the taxes for those earning $200,000 or more (annually).â&#x20AC;? A family earning less than $150,000 a year will receive more child tax benefits, he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For example, a family with two children, earning $90,000 per year, will receive $2,500 more per year, and it will be tax-free,â&#x20AC;? Dhaliwal says. â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ NDP incumbent Jinny Sims, who took the riding from Dhaliwal in 2011, says the top issue here is affordability. The former high school teacher, 63, says there are families struggling to make ends meet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about good-paying jobs,â&#x20AC;? Sims says, noting people are talking about child care and how expensive it is. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud

we have announced $15 a day for child care.â&#x20AC;? As well as being home to thousands of families, Surrey-Newton is dense with small businesses. Being the engine of the economy, Sims says the NDP will lower their tax rate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The other thing is we seem to be losing the decent-paying jobs in Canada. We seem to be shipping out our resources, whether thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s logs or other resources,â&#x20AC;? she says. Even people who have a well-paying job are worried about their children, Sims notes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where are the jobs going to be for them?â&#x20AC;? Investment in manufacturing will be key, she believes, adding the NDP has vowed to return one per cent of federal gas tax to municipalities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Municipalities know they need investment in infrastructure, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been one of their loudest demands.â&#x20AC;? Transit funding is a perennial issue, she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have committed to investing $1.3 billion per year, over 20 years, to support the municipal needs,â&#x20AC;? Sims says. Add to that a transfer to municipalities to build and repair roads, with an additional $1.5 billion annually until the next election. Also on her radar is that two out of three working Canadians do not have a pension. i see page 21

Is legal pot about to bloom or be nipped in the bud?

Oct. 17 & 18, 10am-5pm Sullivan Hall 6302 - 152 St. Surrey

Vote could spark marijuana reform Jeff Nagel Black Press

This election may decide whether Canada makes a historic leap toward marijuana reform or remains a legal battleground between cannabis advocates and a resistant federal government. Under the federal Conservatives, Ottawa has long argued pot is dangerous, unproven as a medicine, and a serious risk to youth if legal access grows. The government has only allowed possession by authorized medical marijuana users after courts ruled in 2000 they have a right to reasonable access. Since then, tens of thousands of Canadians became approved users and many got

federal permits to grow it themselves. Cities grew anxious about the explosion of often unsafe legal grow-ops in their midst. That was one reason the Conservatives tried in 2014 to outlaw home growing of medical pot and force users to buy only via mail order from a new group of approved commercial producers. Corporate growers have rushed to carve up the market while pot activists and lawyers have fought to defend and widen the ability for anyone to grow and sell the stuff. Nowhere has that battle been more obvious than in Vancouver, where more than 100 medical pot dispensaries have opened, illegally selling weed in contravention of federal law, but largely unmolested by police.

Vancouver and other cities aim to regulate retail pot stores themselves. Ottawa wants them closed instead and threatened to send in the RCMP. Meanwhile, time seems on the side of legalization advocates, who say the drug can be regulated and taxed much like alcohol rather than feeding organized crime. Societal attitudes have shifted as a growing number of voters accept the case for reform. A recent Insights West poll found 65 per cent national support to legalize marijuana, with 30 per cent opposed. More than twothirds believe pot has legitimate health benefits and that legalizing and taxing it i see page 24

THE ULTIMATE REAL-LIFE GAMING EXPERIENCE

The Conservatives insist Canada will not follow them down a road that expands drug culture and its risks, instead promising to fund more RCMP anti-drug operations. Conservative leader Stephen Harper upped the rhetoric this month when he called marijuana “infinitely worse” than tobacco in terms of damage to health, a claim contradicted by health experts, though they say pot poses elevated risks for teens. The NDP would immediately decriminalize pot – leader Tom Mulcair says no one should have a criminal record for personal use – and then study further legalization options. The Greens would legalize, regulate and tax it. Their platform banks on about $5 billion a year in marijuana tax revenue. Under leader Justin Trudeau, the Liberals were the first major party to promise outright legalization and regulation, though

A key issue if reform comes, he said, is whether anyone can grow their own pot rather than just buying from corporate growers and dealers. “My view is if you don’t have a right to grow your own cannabis you don’t live in a place where it’s actually legal.” A re-elected Conservative government could face further proliferation of illegal retail stores – forcing Ottawa to either crack down or else concede de facto legalization in parts of the country.

Tsawwassen Springs:

The time is now

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

t’s true, there is a lot happening in Tsawwas-

sen and now is the best time to become part of it. Although the area has gone undeveloped for years, that untapped potential is finally being recognized, with propriety value only expected to increase. There is still a chance to buy into the area with Tsawwassen Springs - a beautiful six-storey concrete Condo building located at 5011 Springs Boulevard. By Nicolle Hodges

Now selling Phase 3, the 90 Condos that range from 553 sq.ft studios to over 2,600 sq.ft penthouses that are suitable for people at varying stages of life. “The general appeal is that it is worry free living,” says Sarah Toigo, Director, Sales and Marketing, of Tsawwassen Springs. “We have seen people moving out of larger houses into similar or smaller square footage, and occasionally more square footage. We have also sold to investors, as the rent we are getting here is comparable, if not more in some cases, to Vancouver rent.” The future is bright for Tsawwassen, with numerous upgrades adding to the current and future value of the area. A new shopping mall, Tsawwassen Mills, is slated to open next year, and major transportation improvements are currently underway, including the widening of Highway 17, the South Fraser Perimeter Road opening, the Tunnel Improvement Plan and a bridge replacement. “With that said, Tsawwassen is a peninsula, so we are limited as to how far we can expand,” says Toigo. “So I expect our small town feel to stay just

The Arts & Crafts theme is echoed in the interior design. The organic beauty of granite, wood and wool are ever present. as charming.” Tsawwassen Springs is currently offering incentives on their Phase 3 Condo release for homebuyers who purchase in October. “For smaller suites, we will offer a limited time cash incentive,” she says. “On larger suites, we will include a double car garage in the underground - hugely popular in our Phase 2 building.” The incentives compliment the already distinct features that make Tsawwassen Springs a worthy investment. Proximity: It takes twenty minutes to get to YVR and thirty minutes to get downtown. If you are looking for a community feel without being isolated from urban conveniences, the town of Tsawwassen is it. Masterplanned community: What makes Tsawwassen Springs a head above the rest is that they offer maximum integrity with every detail, says Toigo. They only work with one architect, one builder, and one developer in every respect of the development. Amenities: The amenities at Tsawwassen Springs are all A-plus. The nearby golf course was completely rebuilt as an all-season course with superior drainage that keeps fairways green all year long. The highly anticipated steak and seafood house, Pat Quinn’s Restaurant & Bar is opening this fall, and the Springs

Ballroom can be transformed to accommodate special events for up to 500 guests. The Real Estate: Customization is key for Tsawwassen Springs, offering over 8 different floor plans and 3 interior design colour palettes carefully selected by award-winning Martie Knockaert of Different Designs Group Inc. “These options allow [homebuyers] to participate in the look of their home,” says Toigo. “Lots of people want to be able to build a

custom home, but don’t have the time or interest, so this allows them to customize within our parameters.” Every aspect of Tsawwassen Springs is high end, from exterior to interior finishings. Enjoy the comfort of a large master bedroom, oversized windows that allow plenty of natural light, hardwood floors, stain-resistant wool carpet, a spacious, covered deck with a natural gas hookup for barbeques and overhead heaters. Plus, Tsawwassen Springs has solar panels

A striking feature of the condominium buildings is size of the decks-outdoor spaces.

to offset maintenance fees, as well as a geoexchange heating and cooling system that uses the temperature of the earth to provide heating, cooling, and hot water. It’s the goal of the Tsawwassen Springs team to make everyone feel at home and ensure the area serves as a sanctuary where families can thrive. They host regular community events for Homeowners to get to know each other, and have even developed a closed community page on their website where Homeowners can arrange to meet, plan tee times, walks, coffee dates, etc. “I grew up in Tsawwassen, and I think what makes this the best kept secret is that people are still friendly and good to each other,” says Toigo. “You go for a walk on the dike, and people you pass say ‘hello,’ and its not because you know them. It’s super safe. It’s sunny here. We have three times as much as the rest of the Lower Mainland, and you get this super sweet, charming, small town life, with big city proximity. It’s the best of everything.” For more information, including show home hours, visit tsawwassensprings.ca

Gordon doubts it will work because, in the case of the Hells Angels, not every member is involved in serious organized crime. “In Surrey, this is even less worthwhile because the groups active in the last six months don’t have names,” Gordon said. “They don’t run around with banners saying they are members of this, that or the other organization.” Other new Tory promises pledge two-year minimum sentences for fraudsters with multiple victims unless there’s full restitution, and easing the burden of evidence in prosecuting drunk drivers. Despite the spotlight on gangs, criminologists like Gordon point out crime rates have actually been declining for decades. “Crime is falling and so is the rate of severe crimes,” he said. The reason isn’t Conservative policy, he said, but societal changes, he said. Technology has helped. There are more theft-resistant cars, alarm-protected homes and video cameras . And youth who were once more apt to find trouble outside may be increasingly diverted now by online distractions. “There are pop-ups of course, in particular in spots like Surrey, which all has to do with the illegal drug trade and the failure to deal with that,” Gordon said. What would work to further cut crime? Gordon lists marijuana reform and an end to the Lower Mainland’s patchwork system of RCMP and municipal police jurisdictions.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Big band dance Get out your dancing shoes! Denmark’s best performing big band – the 18-piece Randers Swinging Big Band – is coming to Star of the Sea Hall 15262 Pacific Ave. to play this Friday, Oct. 16 (doors 7 p.m., music 8 p.m.). A band this size is a rarity these days – outside of school and college groups – but thanks to the generous sponsorship of the City of White Rock, Peninsula Productions is presenting this professional touring ensemble as part of the Fall Festival of the Arts in what should be an outstanding ‘old school Alex Browne swing’ experience. To add to the fun, organizers have arranged for Lindy Hop dancers to be on the scene to provide a brief demonstration and teach some dance moves to the crowd. Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door. Named after the regional city of Randers (Denmark), the band was formed in 1980, and has been saluting the great tunes of the swing era ever since with a primary focus on Count Basie-style music. The orchestra has transformed into a multi-genre ensemble in recent years, performing in Sweden, Finland, Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, Switzerland, the U.S. and Brazil. In addition to touching down in Vancouver on this tour (including the side trip to White Rock) the band is also playing in Seattle. Tickets are available at South Surrey Recreation & Arts Centre (14601 20 Ave.) and Tourism White Rock (1459 Johnston Rd.), or online at brownpapertickets.com For more information, visit www. peninsulaproductions.org

The 18-piece Randers Swinging Big Band will visit White Rock all the way from Denmark this week, performing at Star of the Sea Hall Oct. 16, presented by Peninsula Productions and the City of White Rock. Below, Elizabeth Carefoot’s new show, Spirit Hunters, which explores shamanism, runs until Oct. 30.

until Oct. 30 at the Newton Cultural Centre (13530 70 Ave.) is an exhibition and sale of robes – utilizing canvas, bone beads, wool, buttons, shells, leather, goat fur and metal objects – along with painted acrylic portraits, portable altars, decorated bottles and sacred scrolls. All represent aspects of Carefoot’s exploration of shamanism, particularly that practised by the Siberian people and the North American High Plains tribes. “The art is full of personal symbolism,” she says. “The combination of the secret and the obvious gives double layers of meaning.” Carefoot will conduct an artist-in-residence program at the centre on Saturday, Oct. 17, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Gallery hours are 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday, 9:30 a.m. to noon Sundays. The gallery is closed on Monday. For information, call 604-594-2700 or visit www.artscouncilofsurrey.ca

Red Rock Diner Also fast approaching at Surrey Arts Centre is Arts Club Theatre’s touring version of Red Rock Diner (Oct. 14-24), the home-grown 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 music scene as well as showcasing potential stars of tomorrow – as Arts Club publicity points out, the original 1998 touring production featured Michael Bublé and broke box-office records at the Surrey Arts Centre. Tickets to the opening night performance (Oct. 14) offer a chance to arrive early to meet Robinson himself, and enjoy complimentary appetizers from 7pm. For tickets ($29 to $52, including all fees) and showtimes call 604-501-5566 or visit https://tickets.surrey.ca

Death of a Salesman Arthur Miller’s legendary Pulitzer Prizewinning drama Death of a Salesman is onstage at the Coast Capital Playhouse (1532 Johnston Rd.) as White Rock Players Club’s first production of the 2015-16 season. The 1949 classic (running until Oct. 24) 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 equallyfamous role of Willy’s long-suffering, 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. Also appearing in the show are Ken Cross as Willy’s brother Ben, Brian Wilson as the Lomans’ neighbour Charley, Sean Malczewski as his son Bernard, Josh Fuller as Willy’s new boss Harold and Rosemary Shuster as Harold’s secretary Jenny. Rounding out the cast are Heather-Jane Robertson as The Woman, Kate Naylor as Miss Forsythe and Krystle Hadlow as Letta. Evening performances are at 8 p.m. Wednesday to Saturday, with a 2:30 p.m. matinee Sunday, Oct. 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, 604-536-7535. The club’s annual audience-pleaser, 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 door-slammer 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. To inquire about season-ticket options, call 604-536-7535.

Blue Frog Studios Coming up on a busy fall schedule of outstanding concerts at Blue Frog Studios, Canadian rock legend Jerry ‘Mama Let Him Play’ Doucette will be at the venue (1328 Johnston Rd.) to revisit such hits as All I Wanna Do, Down The Road, Coming Up Roses and Run Buddy Run on Oct. 16 and 17 (7 p.m. each night). Joining him will be a new all-star backup band: Trevor Newman (bass), Marco Ibarra (drums) and Al Walker (guitar). The venue will also be doing its part for International Artist Day – together with Canadian Western Bank – by presenting a Fine Art Jam, Saturday, Oct. 25 (doors 6:30 p.m., event 7 p.m.). It’s a multidisclipinary fusing of music, dance and painting as artists in all three media come together for an impromptu ‘jam’ – an exciting, unique creative collaboration. Participants in the first edition include the Jennifer Scott Trio with Rene Worst (bass); Dave Benning, well-known painter of rock stars and notable celebrities; oil and acrylic artist Jill Charuk, whose work has been exhibited in England, the U.S. and Mexico; and local Afro-Creole dancer Kaye Kerlande. In addition to the live jame, there will also be a silent auction of work by artists including David Patterson, Marilyn Hurst and International Artist Day founder Chris MacClure.

Surrey Eagles’ forward Darius Davidson, a Semiahmoo Minor Hockey alum, hasn’t missed a game since joining the team more than two seasons ago.

Darius Davidson hasn’t missed a BCHL game in more than two seasons

Eagles’ ironman ‘a pillar’ of lineup Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

arius Davidson may be one of the softest-spoken members of the Surrey Eagles – his coach calls him a “quiet leader” – but there is no underestimating his value to his team. And if there’s anybody who can appreciate what the three-year junior-hockey veteran brings to the table, it’s his coach, Blaine Neufeld, who was forced, due to a barrage of injuries, to use more affiliate players last season than any other BC Hockey League team. But among the never-ending list of junior ‘B’ and major-midget call-ups that dotted the Eagles’ rosters throughout last year’s ugly nine-win season, stood Davidson, who played every single game for his hometown Birds.

The season before that, he did the same thing. This year, through 11 games, he hasn’t missed a game, either. In fact, according to Neufeld, at 125 straight appearances, he is the BCHL’s reigning ironman – the nom de plume given to athletes who’ve played the most consecutive games. “You can only have 22 guys on your roster, and there are always so many injuries throughout the season, you’re always short somebody – and last year was crazy, that might’ve been a record (for affiliate players),” Neufeld said. “So for Darius to be there every day is huge for us. We know that every day he’s ready to go, on the right side of one of our top lines. “He’s our pillar, our rock.” The 19-year-old has never shied away from the action, either, Neufeld is quick to

point out, even if it puts him in a position to potentially get hurt. “Last year, he was second on our team in hits and third in blocked shots – two stats that typically lead to injuries. If you’re that involved in the play, sometimes you’re going to get hurt.” For his part, Davidson shrugs off his games-played streak, saying only that, “I just go out there and play.” “Sometimes you have to play through the pain a little bit, if something happens, but so far it’s been OK,” he said. “I just try to block as many shots as I can – if I block ’em, it means they’re not getting to the net.” Bumps and bruises aside, Davidson – a Semiahmoo Minor Hockey Assocation alum – has no real explanation for how he’s managed to avoid any serious breaks, fractures or other serious injuries.

“Strong bones, I guess,” he quipped. Though pleased he’s able to pencil Davidson into the lineup game in, game out, Neufeld did say that, at times, it can be tough to figure out if his star forward is legitimately injured. “He’s certainly not the type of guy who is going to tell you if he’s hurt. He’d sooner just tough it out than let you know, which can be a good and a bad thing at the same time,” Neufeld said, adding that Davidson’s work ethic has rubbed off on his younger teammates. “I know there’s a willingness from our group of guys to fight through things and be a part of every game – nobody wants to miss any time – but as a coach, you have to do a good job of assessing things, because you don’t want to put a guy in a position i see page 30

s a White Rock Chiropractor, I know well the detrimental effects of upper neck spinal instability and subluxation. Upper neck problems in the Chiropractic setting can have very bizarre, far reaching and debilitating signs and symptoms. The upper neck region of the spine is the most vulnerable area of the spine. The anatomy is unique and the neurology (nerves)of the region have far reaching effects. The top vertebra is called the atlas and it joins with the base of the skull and vertebra below called the axis. They have very unique function. Approximately 50% of the rotation in the neck comes from these two vertebrae. The lower part of the brain stem and many sensitive nerves are also in the area. There are several small but powerful muscles

in the region that control the function and alignment of the upper two vertebrae. The anatomy and function is quite complex. Injury to this region is quite common. Probably the most common is the whiplash injury. This motion causes the head to go backwards and then rebound forward at a very rapid speed. At the least, muscle injury and joint dysfunction are apparent. At worse, ligament, muscle and joint capsule tearing occur and occasionally bone fracture and ligament tearing. The patient that takes many months to heal has ligament tearing. With this comes misalignment and a whole host of symptoms. Symptoms can range from pain and stiffness to some very major neurological symptoms. Chiropractic therapy is very successful in stabilizing this region with the

Eagles i from page 29 where he might be vulnerable.” Davidson’s consistency shows up on the scoresheet, too. Last year, he led the team in scoring with 25 goals and 51 points in 58 games, and this year has produced at nearly a point-per-game pace, with eight points in 11 contests. But despite his individual success, what Davidson wants more than anything is to win. In his first season with the team, in 2013/14, the Eagles had a 25-301-2 record (win-losstie-overtime loss), and though they made the playoffs, lasted just one round. Last season was historically bad for the South Surrey crew, finishing with the worst record in the league. “He wants to win, it’s all he cares about. I think last year was tough on him, and every time we talked this summer, all he said was ‘I just want to win,’” Neufeld said. And though they have just 3 wins in 11 games so far this season, the atmosphere is far different, Davidson said. “Last year was tough, but we have a better team this year. If we just keep working hard, we’ll do well,” he said. The Eagles are coming off a busy Thanksgiving weekend which saw them play three games in three nights, including two on Vancouver Island. They’re on the road again Friday, in Coquitlam against the division-rival Express, before returning to South Surrey Arena for a rare midweek game Tuesday, Oct. 20, when they host the Langley Rivermen.
