Proposals include extending Morgan Elementary catchment south of 32 Avenue

School crowding to shift boundaries Sheila Reynolds Black Press

Extreme overcrowding at schools in some areas of Surrey – and a lack of new building money from Victoria – is forcing the district to change elementary-school catchment areas in several neighbourhoods. One of three proposed boundary changes to be considered is intended to alleviate

current and continued growth at Sunnyside Elementary by having students in the northernmost section of its catchment area cross busy 32 Avenue to Morgan Elementary. Sunnyside, located in the Grandview Heights area of South Surrey, has one portable on the way. Morgan has three but currently has a two-classroom addition being built. A new elementary school and high school in

the Grandview area top the Surrey School District’s capital funding wish list, but provincial money has yet to be granted for those projects. Another proposed change would shift students in the northeastern section of the Woodward Hill Elementary catchment area to Goldstone Park Elementary, and students in the south end of the Goldstone catchment to Cambridge Elementary.

The change is intended to ease the continued space constraints and enrolment growth at Woodward Hill, located in an area of south Newton where housing development is brisk. While one of the school district’s high priority requests to Victoria is to build an addition at Woodward Hill, funding has not been announced. i see page 4

Women’s Place to put seven-year-old’s donation to good use

Birthday wish inspires new kids club Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The thoughtfulness of a White Rock boy has inspired a new club at Women’s Place. Nicolas’ Birthday Club was officially established on Tuesday, when Nicolas Halford dropped by the 20 Avenue facility with his mom and little sister to hand over 10 $20-bills to Denise Darrell, Sources’ director of women, seniors and community services. “You started something and it’s very special,”

Darrell told Nicolas, “so you’re going to have your own birthday club, with your own name.” The fund – which Darrell noted is the first she knows of, at Women’s Place, started by a child – will help clients of Source’s traumacounselling program who can’t afford to buy birthday presents for their own children. It all started when Nicolas was getting ready to celebrate his seventh birthday on Oct. 4. He knew he could easily have topped up his own stock of toys with gifts from his guests.

Instead, he asked those who attended his pool party to give cash that he could donate to a worthy cause. “I have so much,” the White Rock Elementary student told Peace Arch News on his tour of a Women’s Place play area dedicated to children. Mom Holly Halford said the acknowledgment grew from discussions at home and school around sharing and helping others in the community who may not be as fortunate. i see page 4

Violent crime in Surrey continues to soar, while property crime is taking a big drop, according to third-quarter statistics released by the RCMP. Violent crime jumped by 40 per cent in the first three quarters of this year, when compared to the same period last year. Much of that can be explained by an increase in assaults, which skyrocketed by about 500 in the first nine months of this year. Robberies were up by about 100 during that period as well. Attempted murders more than doubled to 28 from eight, and sex assaults were up to 228 from 164 – a jump of 39 per cent. Abduction and kidnapping went up to 47 so far in 2015 from 30 in the first three-quarters of last year. Overall, homicides were down 59 per cent, to seven from 17, and were either unchanged or down in the city’s five policing districts. The good news for Surrey is that property crime continues to plunge, down by nine per cent overall, with residential break-andenters decreasing by 18 per cent in the first three quarters of this year, business break-and-enters down 14 per cent, and break-and-enters overall decreasing by 17 per cent. The biggest jump in violent crime during this period was in policing District 4 (Cloverdale and Port i see page 4

Survey respondents call for improvements to education, public transit and safety

Half of Surrey’s youth happy to live here Sheila Reynolds Black Press

Surrey youth are just as passionate about their city as adults and have worthwhile opinions, but need more support to have successful futures in the city. The view comes from a recently released Surrey Youth Vital Signs 2015 report by SurreyCares Community Foundation. The report is the second Vital Signs report, this time combining research with a poll of 400 young people aged 12 to 24. Just over half of the respondents said they’re satisfied or very satisfied living in Surrey, but some said improvements in safety, public transit, mental wellness, education and employment are needed.

The youth listed the arts scene as one of Surrey’s greatest assets. While pleased with the festivals, events and classes available, they indicated they’d like events to cost less and that there be more youth-focussed events and more public entertainment in general. Culture, identity and belonging also topped young people’s lists of Surrey’s strong points, with lots of events promoting cultural awareness and many organizations supporting various communities in the city. Still, the young people gave a C grade to education, with 31 per cent saying more funding was needed for post-secondary education, and a quarter of respondents indicating they’d like smaller class sizes and more emphasis on life-skills training in school.

“I have not been provided with the education I need to excel in interviews and find jobs that are in need. Please change this!” said one respondent. Youth were, however, pleased with the online learning options available and library programs. A significant portion of respondents (38 per cent) said there needed to be more teenfriendly employers in Surrey and more job opportunities for young people. A third said current high school trade-skills programs should be celebrated. Transit was a hot topic for youth, with about 30 per cent wanting lower transit fares and late-night bus and SkyTrain service. “Youths’ pride in our growing and chang-

ing city is encouraging,” said Jeff Hector, board chair for SurreyCares. “Their interest in a smoother transition to adulthood by better access to transit, education, employment, housing and engagement will help Surrey families, businesses and organizations to work together to enhance their futures.” The study notes that except for Vancouver, Surrey has more young people than any city in B.C. It is also home to 22 per cent of the youths in the Metro Vancouver region. Thirty-two per cent of the study’s respondents said they planned to stay in Surrey for the next five years. The Vital Signs research is meant to ascertain where Surrey is doing well and where it can improve.

Collectibles seized

Baseball cards on deck Surrey RCMP are asking for the public’s help identifying the owners of sports trading cards that have been recovered in recent months, including a collection of baseball cards seized nearly three months ago in South Surrey. In an appeal issued Wednesday afternoon, police said the cards were among items seized Aug. 9, when officers responded to a complaint of a possible weapon at a property near 162 Street and 40 Avenue. At the time, an area resident described seeing heavily armed police swarm a property, and men ordered out of a barn emerge with bags of items hanging around their necks; Cpl. Scotty Schumann confirmed stolen items were recovered. Wednesday, police described the baseball cards as numbering in the hundreds and well-cared for. The appeal was issued because efforts to date have been unsuccessful in reuniting them with the rightful owner. The collection is among two that police would like to see claimed. The second was found Oct. 16 in north Surrey, in the 10600-block of 138 Street. It includes hundreds of collector-type sports memorabilia cards, including some that appear to have substantial value. Anyone who believes the cards are theirs, or can identify the owner, is asked to contact the Surrey detachment at 604-599-0502 (file #2015149255 or 2015-114296). – Tracy Holmes

White Rock scientist searches for answers

Mystery of the missing Harlequins Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A months-long study aimed at determining why male Harlequin ducks that call the White Rock/Crescent Beach shoreline home have stopped returning to molt has identified where the sea ducks have been disappearing to over the past decade. But White Rock scientist Sean Boyd said why they’re now taking care of business “way up the coast” when they used to do it locally remains a mystery – and may stay that way. “This is happening for both (White Rock) and (Hornby Island) males,” Boyd said. “This was totally unexpected and I still don’t know why, and may never know.” The study – jointly funded by Environment Canada and the Sea Duck Joint Venture – began last March with the implanting of 14 of the White Rock ducks (seven male and seven female) with satellite transmitters that enabled Boyd to live-track their movements and “sitefidelity.” (Another 22 ducks were marked at Hornby Island.) Over the months that followed, he confirmed that the females head to the Rocky Mountains

But while Boyd had expected to find the males molting not far from home, he discovered they’ve actually been heading as far north as Prince Rupert. As he did before starting the survey, Boyd suspects that factors such as disturbance and eagle predation may explain the change of habit, but he also wonders if climate change plays a role. “I don’t know if we’ll ever find out,” he said. And while the survey also didn’t solve why the population is declining, Boyd said it was “really useful.” He would never have known

that the change in the migration habits of the Harlequins is not responsible for the decline in population without the satellite-transmitter data. Boyd said he plans to continue monitoring the ducks, to get a better sense of their movement between White Rock, Point Roberts and Birch Bay, until the batteries in their transmitters fail. Next up, he’s hoping to assist biologists in the northern U.S. – as far east as Wyoming and south to Oregon – and Alberta with a similar project. “Harlequin ducks are really a species of concern in all of the northern states,” he said. If funding can be obtained, Boyd will spend up to three weeks next spring helping capture and implant seabirds there. Other projects being considered include ones that would involve tracking migration habits of smaller birds such as western sandpipers. Boyd credited advances in technology with making such projects possible. It “allows us to mark smaller and smaller birds… small birds that could never be marked before,” he said. There’s “whole new avenues for study that we could never do before.”

Feedback sought on proposals i from page 1 That leaves the district managing the crowded conditions next fall by continuing to use portables (there are six at Woodward this year) and moving school boundaries. A final catchment change would involve shifting parts of Katzie and Clayton elementary school boundaries to re-direct students to Hazelgrove Elementary instead. Again, while two new elementary schools have been requested in the rapidly growing Clayton neighbour-

hood, the provincial government has yet to provide funding. While Katzie has five portables to house student overflow this year, Clayton has seven. Hazelgrove also uses five. The school district says all schools in the Clayton and Grandview Heights neighbourhoods are under “extreme enrolment pressures,” while all schools in the South Newton area “are, or are expected to be, under significant enrolment pressures.” South Newton schools alone saw an influx of 200 new chil-

dren in September. The proposed changes would not apply to students (or their siblings) already attending the affected schools, though those students could register at the school in the new catchment areas if they wish. Only students new to the neighbourhoods would be affected. Feedback on the proposed boundary changes is being collected at http://bit.ly/1kqkAHY until Nov. 16. There will also be paper forms supplied by the affected schools.

Surrey RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann said property crime is dropping due to continued targeted policing, which focuses on

repeat offenders. Schumann noted that while violent crime gets a large amount of public attention, it usually occurs between criminals. Property crime, to a much greater degree, affects people who are not involved in crime, he said. The Surrey RCMP release statistics quarterly at the request of Surrey council, which wanted greater transparency for publicsafety issues.

for the children who use it. As well, “their very own phone,” Nicolas said. His mother said she hopes other kids will follow Nicolas’ lead. “It really does encourage kids to get involved, which makes the world go ’round,” she said.

TransLink booth attracts 35 respondents

Bus riders have their say

West Coast Gardens love your garden, love your home

Open

Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

Peninsula residents who want to have their say in proposed changes to transit service are nearly out of time, as TransLink’s consultation efforts wrap up today (Friday). The proposed service changes – which TransLink says are aimed at improving the overall transit network across the region – include eight routes in White Rock/South Surrey, and were first announced to the city Oct. 5. Last week, TransLink set up a booth at the City of White Rock’s public meeting on development cost charges (DCCs) to give locals the opportunity to talk one-on-one with staff. Several residents were eager to share their opinions – arriving ahead of the Oct. 26 event’s 6 p.m. start time – and expressing concern about the proposals, as well as the limited opportunity to voice opinions about them. Patrick Kelly, who works for Canada Post, told Peace Arch News he takes the 351 bus to and from work every day, but if the proposed changes go through, will have to go back to using a car – something he doesn’t currently own. “We bought our houses knowing the 351 was coming there,” the South Surrey resident said,

Water info trickles in The City of White Rock now owns and operates its water utility, but how much it paid Epcor for the takeover has yet to be disclosed. In a news release issued Oct. 29, the city announced it would take over ownership of the utility the next day, citing the receipt of regulatory approvals from Fraser Health Authority and the B.C. Comptroller of Water Rights. Residents have repeatedly asked for financial details but have been told city staff is “bound by confidentiality.” “We’ve got some confidentiality provisions with our agreement with Epcor and, unfortunately, we’re not able to comment at this time,” city manager Dan Bottrill told Peace Arch News Wednesday, noting the city “absolutely” plans to release further information. “As soon as we’re able to, we will release the details.” The city has launched a new webpage – www. whiterockcity.ca/mywater – which includes information about billing, water quality and chlorination options. – Melissa Smalley

TransLink’s Margaret Wittgens (left) chats with resident Patrick Kelly. noting the bus is “always full.” Kelly said when he questioned why the change was happening, he was told “they need those buses elsewhere.” “Over there, the options they give us, 351 is done,” Kelly said. “I have to buy a car. I have no choice.” Staff at the meeting deferred comment to TransLink spokesperson Cheryl Ziola, who told PAN Tuesday that the outreach event “went well” and saw around 35 residents speak with staff. Ziola said the feedback received was consistent with the findings of the online survey, which has garnered more than 1,400 responses for the South of the Fraser region. “All of this valuable public and

stakeholder feedback will be considered as we plan transit service for the future,” Ziola said. Prior to last week’s event, Mayor Wayne Baldwin said he’d like to see TransLink “do a bit more” in the way of public outreach, citing the millions of dollars the city pays the transit authority each year. Responding to a request for details about the outcome of the city’s DCC forum, a city spokesperson said about 25 people attended and “the city received a range of feedback.” The proposed bus changes and survey can be found online at www.translink.ca/tnc, then select “South of Fraser” and “White Rock-South Surrey.” – with files from Tracy Holmes

For whom the bridge tolls

ometimes one can’t help sounding like a stuck record. When politicians keep making the same mistakes, pushing the same egregious agenda – or when, as is happening currently with Premier Christy Clark and the BC Liberals, the same chickens keep coming home to roost – the only reasonable response seems to be a prolonged expression of dismay. There must be something about the premier and bridges. Earlier this year, Clark got into hot water when she tried to close Vancouver’s Burrard Bridge to traffic for a day-long yoga event, and then tweeted that those resistant to the idea were ‘yoga haters’. People who have sent in Freedom of Information requests for documentation related to the decision to close the bridge have reportedly come up empty, of course. In case you hadn’t heard, it’s been the habit of government staffers to ‘triple delete’ email communications – that is, to delete them from mail, from the trash file, then from backup servers. Emails have also disappeared – among many others – that relate to the investigation of missing and murdered indigenous women, health ministry firings or equally controversial legislation to change the Agricultural Land Reserve. Now another bridge is haunting Clark. Independent MLA Vicki Huntington has been told that sparse documentation exists – no business plan prepared for the premier – pertaining to Clark’s decision to scrap the Massey tunnel and replace it with a bridge over the Fraser River. Background material and technical data to help transportation ministry staff decide on five possible configurations for such a bridge also cannot be located. As Huntington notes, a $3-billion project should have some kind of paper trail behind it. Just not, apparently, in our premier’s universe. Another FOI request failed to turn up even her own announcement of the bridge in September 2013. Such a palpably ridiculous situation makes nonsense of partisan attempts to deflect criticism from the BC Liberals. There’s a huge gulf between claiming one can’t pick over every document pertaining to sensitive government decisions, and a government being forced to admit it can’t even find the shoebox where it keeps its memoranda on a project slated to spend billions of taxpayer money. With Clark, this particular bridge toll should be the tolling of a bell – a warning note that time and public patience is running out.

But in the twinkle in his eye I could still see a vestige of the fresh-faced, spirited ‘kid’ from Minnedosa, Man. he’d been, when daily he’d put his life on the line. ‘Hairy ops’ – to use the parlance of the times – had included flying a Hellcat back to the carrier with half of the engine blown away, after a dive through deadly anti-aircraft fire to shoot up a Japanese airfield. I remember him recalling, with a chuckle, the drawling disapproval of a British C.O. who didn’t care for the youngster’s casual, insubordinate attitude – or his persistent gum-chewing in the mess. “He’d say, ‘for Christ’s sake, Atkinson, stop chewing that gum!’” he told me in 2005. “So I’d take it out and put it on my plate, which would just about make him sick.” Atkinson hadn’t endeared himself, either, when he disobeyed orders to pursue a low-flying Mitsubishi ‘Zeke’ after his flight had been ordered home. “That usually meant a senior officer going back to report the results of a kamikaze attack,” he remembered. “We’d been ordered back, but I was damn sure that guy was right there. I broke starboard 180 degrees, saw a flash. I caught up to him and let him have it. I shot him at long distance, around 800 yards. I just wanted to get the job done. “When I got back to the wardroom the C.O. said, ‘That was pretty wild, Bill’. And from then on, I was Wild Bill.” Alex Browne is a reporter at the Peace Arch News.

Expropriation totally unfair Editor: I can’t believe that the City of Surrey is actually trying to kick the owner off of his property and have the audacity to offer the said owner a mere pittance for it (Civic expropriation to close Riverside, Sept. 25). This is totally unfair and I hope that thousands of people will support the owner and rally for him to be able to keep his land or to come up with some way to leave at least part of it. I can understand that King George Boulevard needs to be widened at that point, however, it could be done so that both parties would be satisfied. If this expropriation is being done just to allow for more housing along King George, forget about it. I am sure I speak for a lot of people who are so sick of excavation equipment, hammers pounding, noise, messy roads, etc. Is it ever enough? D. Barros, White Rock

Thoughts for a new leader Editor: Re: Popularity contest, Oct. 23 editorial. Yes. Canada’s “first-past-the-post” electoral system is the simplest option available and it has served the country reasonable well. But that was before Stephen Harper, the prime minister who wanted to radically change Canada did so. I would suggest that a simple, straightforward voting system only works as long as the new government can be counted on to consider the general good. A point often made while Harper was prime minister is that he thought of his opponents as enemies to be mowed down. Despite the cheating that went on during his election campaigns, Harper never even achieved 40 per cent of the popular vote. This did not stop him from treating non-supporters, the majority of Canadians, with utter contempt. Respectful dialogue about issues became a thing of the past. Harper’s years in office also changed the traditional political spectrum in Canada. We no longer had the pragmatic and nonideological party in the middle represented by the Liberals, the party of individual responsibility on the right represented by the Conservatives, and the party of social justice on the left represented by the New Democrats. Harper was at pains to portray the NDP and the Liberal party as being recklessly extreme, while moving the Conservative party so far to the right as to put its commitment to democracy in doubt. The fact that Harper’s supporters largely followed him in his extremism does not bode well for the future, unless a means is found to restore balance.

I hope Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s parliamentary committee takes the idea of an electoral system based on proportional representation very seriously. While it may be true that Canada will have fewer majority governments under such a system, this seems minor compared to the danger of another Harper-style coup d’état. In addition, minority and coalition governments can have the very positive effect of encouraging political parties to hold power which are most willing to act co-operatively. David Anson, White Rock

Q Your July 31 editorial (Cutting off the West) clearly described what was happening here – Prime Minister Stephen Harper closing down the RCMP complaints commission and the Coast Guard, and sending them to Ottawa, no doubt to francosize. The question now is will our Prime Minister-elect Justin Trudeau, a Quebecois, restore them as he promised? With that, we should ask if a unilingual English-speaking person has the same opportunity in Ottawa with this government. From one comes the other. Suan H. Booiman, White Rock

More waste needs cleanup Editor Re: Every day is garbage day, Oct. 23 letters. No, the White Rock council has not done a good job on the garbage collection. Why do we need seven different garbage-pickup companies? This means more fuel pollution, more noise pollution, plus blocking the roadways. Please, council, make changes soon.

quote of note

The mayor of Surrey may wish to re-think her position that track relocation is primarily a White Rock issue.a Bob Holden

White Rock Museum & Archive photo

Letter-writer Keith Knightson suggests relocating the tracks from the waterfront could cost the cities nothing.

Keeping track of years of change Editor: When it comes to rail relocation, why do people continue to blather on about what life was like in the early-1900s? Their blather has no relevance in 2015. In reality, our current society needs efficient and rapid transportation for movement of people and goods. The coastal route was OK when there were only two steam trains per day. However, “dark age” railways have no place in today’s society. It takes four hours and 25 minutes to get from Vancouver to Seattle by train. A journey of a mere 120 miles. A joke, right? Anyone who has been to Europe is aware of their wonderful rail system. Their high-speed passenger trains travel at 300 km/h and more. Japan and China have similar facilities. B.C. has fallen behind the other developed countries whose economies thrive due to rapid movement of people and goods. The financial gain to stakeholders over the next 20 years will outweigh the initial costs of the relocation itself. A modern tunnel-boring machine would make short work of a tunnel between the U.S. border and the existing east-west CN/CP rail corridor, so the blather that other neighbourhoods will be adversely affected is nonsense. Imagine a family-friendly recreational park along the shoreline, with easy access and hiking/biking trails from the U.S. border to Tsawwassen. Increased tourism would provide a badly needed boost to local businesses. Why does the 1900 brigade want to deprive businesses and residents south of the Fraser of such opportunities? To answer the letter from Barry Gaudin (Skepticism over rail relocation, Oct. 30), under the provisions of the Railway Relocation and Crossings Act a simple landswap arrangement can be agreed – new railway land for old. This act also makes provision for federal funding. City taxpayer dollars need not be involved at all. The wording of the Oct. 30 PAN online question – “Should $700,000 be spent to see if it’s feasible to relocate the waterfront train tracks inland?” – is biased towards a negative answer. I would bet if the survey had asked “Do you support rail relocation if it will cost the cities nothing?” the answer would have been very different. (Editor’s note: the $700,000 referred to the sum being considered by the City of Surrey for a feasibility study.) So, instead of imagining the worst and blathering on about 1900, why not imagine a recreational gem within a few kilometres of all residents and a boosted economy? Keith Knightson, White Rock

Rail: A Surrey issue Editor: Re: Moving tracks ‘does little for Surrey’, Oct. 23. When I was about four years old, I ignored my father’s warning not to play on an unsupervised construction site, so he gave me what was then called a spanking, now called child abuse. He obviously cared little about my self esteem, only about my safety. When he subsequently warned me about playing on railroad tracks, I heeded the warning. I still avoid being on railway tracks. You may assume that I think fences, flashing lights and long loud train whistles are overkill. In 1979, we lived in Mississauga, Ont., when a train derailed at a level crossing on a Saturday evening. There was a massive explosion and fears of chlorine poisoning, which resulted in several hundred thousand people, including us, being evacuated for three days. There was an escape route both north and south, and the crash was in a primarily industrial area. Contrast the possibility of such an event along White Rock beach. The area is primarily residential, but there is an escape route to the north. However, such an event at Crescent Beach could trap the entire population between the burning wreck and the water. The escape route would be by boat, helicopter or swimming. The mayor of Surrey may wish to re-think her position that track relocation is primarily a White Rock issue. Having said this, I am not sure a realistic solution exists. Bob Holden, White Rock Q Gee, Mayor Linda Hepner, do you know where South Surrey is? Within a block to two miles of tracks, we live, play and eat and have two to three times as many people as White Rock has. Read the labels on any container of the hazardous materials in the tank cars of the railway: Do not inhale, touch or spill. Most winds come from the southeast, south or southwest, and the carcinogens spewed by three to six diesel engines per train are worse than any modern-day truck. You now have a long-term health hazard, never mind a ruptured tank car. Why not sell the $100-plus million city hall, put $5060 million in a more centralized and not ostentatious city hall, and buy land for a new railway right-of-way? A. Lappi, Surrey

The provincial government came under fire again this week for blocking the release of information – this time related to its plan to build a new bridge on Highway 99 to replace the Massey Tunnel.

as more drivers use the lanes. Washington state department of transportation says that tolls can vary between 75 cents and $10. There are no “free” times when the lane can be used – it is a paid lane, 24 hours a day. The objective is to keep traffic moving in those lanes at a speed of at least 45 m.p.h., which is 75 per cent of the maximum speed of 60. Planners believe that drivers stuck in gridlock will see others moving along at that speed, and that some will be willing to pay extra to get to their destinations faster. The reaction has been decidedly mixed thus far. A blog post last week on the WashDOT site puts a good spin on the results after one month of operation, but reader comments are mainly negative, with some saying the new lanes have caused more traffic on I-5, already badly congested. South Fraser residents in general have supported an evenhanded approach to bridge tolling in the Metro Vancouver region, favouring suggestions of tolls of $1 or so for all bridges. This of course would reduce tolls on the Port Mann and Golden Ears, but add them to the Pattullo, Alex Fraser, Queensborough and Deas Island crossings. Congestion taxation, toll lanes, more bridge tolls and other revenue sources to boost transportation spending and attempt to shape traffic patterns seem to be inevitable. They will likely find some favour with most drivers if they are applied in an even-handed fashion, at the lowest possible charge.

Young athletes celebrated at Nite of Champions event

Gala raises $98,000 for youth sports The Surrey-White Rock chapter of KidSport held its annual Nite of Champions fundraising dinner Tuesday, raising thousands of dollars for young athletes in both cities. In total, the event raised more than $98,000 according to event organizers – a number met with great applause by attendees, which included a who’s-who of the Vancouver and Lower Mainland sports community. The event was MC’d by Hockey Night in Canada broadcaster Jim Hughson – a South Surrey resident – while BC Lions general manager Wally Buono, former Vancouver Canucks captain Orland Kurtenbach and Pittsburgh Penguins head coach Mike Johnston were among those in attendance. Johnston – in town because his Penguins played the Vancouver Canucks Wednesday night – was the event’s keynote speaker, while country singer Chad Brownlee, a Canuck draft pick-turned musician, also took to the stage to sing a few songs. A handful of young athletes also took part

his longtime support of youth sports in the community. KidSport raises money to help cover sports registration fees for athletes who would not otherwise be able to afford to play. Since 2012, the event has raised nearly $400,000 and helped approximately 2,000 athletes.

Peninsula residents wishing to take part in Remembrance Day events will have a few options next Wednesday, as the community gathers to commemorate those who fought for Canada. • In White Rock, members of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 8 will host the annual Remembrance Day parade and wreath-laying service Nov. 11. The parade is set to commence at 9:30 a.m. at White Rock Elementary, followed by a church service at First United Church at 10 a.m. and the wreath-laying ceremony at the cenotaph in front of White Rock city hall (15322 Buena Vista Ave.). Refreshments to follow at the legion, 2290 152 St. • At the Crescent Legion, 2643 128 St., service starts at 10:30 a.m. Service is followed by a laying of wreaths and a fly-past. Joining the ceremony will be a colour party of sea, army, air cadets and the RCMP. This year, the MC is past-president George Temperton, and Rev. Mike Cook will lead the service. • Surrey’s Remembrance ceremony is set to take place at the Cloverdale cenotaph from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., outside the Surrey Museum (17710 56A Ave.). After the ceremony, attendees are invited inside for activities, crafts, videos and hot chocolate. • The Canadian Military Education Centre is also hosting a family event Wednesday at the Surrey Centre Cemetery (16671 Old McLellan Rd.). The 12-3 p.m. event will feature various Second World War military vehicles, and military experts on-hand to answer questions.

Major water diversions can result in serious disruption of the hydrologic regime as Asia’s Aral Sea and Africa’s Lake Chad show so dramatically.

Free oil change Veterans across B.C. – including on the Semiahmoo Peninsula – can get their vehicle’s oil changed for free next week. On Tuesday, Nov. 10, all Mr. Lube locations across the province (including in South Surrey, at 2299 King George Blvd., and further north, at 7030 King George Blvd.) will offer free oil changes to veterans. “The women and men who choose to serve Canada deserve our respect. They have earned it through years of service to the ideals and values that make up Canadian society,” said Vancouver-area Mr. Lube franchise owner David Ticknor. “It’s the least we can do to show our appreciation.” To receive the free oil change, veterans or current military members must provide service ID or have a B.C. Veterans license plate. For a full list of store locations, visit www. mrlube.com

uestion: I am 77 year old guy and am of sound of mind. I went to a lawyer to have him prepare a simple will for me. He took some details such as birthdate and birthplace, but then his questions became really really nosy, including all the details of my assets and income, and i hhousekeeper, my estranged children and even my li live-in unearthed the fact of my illegitimate child which I never acknowledged. I accused him of trying to feather his nest by introducing all these complications, and left in a huff. Now he has sent me a bill? Do I have to pay it?

nswer: It is a lawyer’s job to Ànd out about the details of your assets and liabilities, examine to whom you may have a moral or legal obligations and spend time listening to you to ensure that you are fully aware of those obligations and to ensure that from his experience you have “testamentary capacity”. I suspect that the lawyer sent a bill not to get money, but to make sure you never came back. NEW CLIENTS WELCOME

B.C. restaurants and bars are asking for a discount on alcohol they buy.

Province gets C+ grade for lack of wholesale pricing

Restaurants want booze price break Jeff Nagel Black Press

Restaurants and bars in B.C. want the provincial government to cut them a deal on the price they pay for wine, beer and spirits. Right now, they’re required to buy liquor only from government stores and they must pay the same price as everyone else. That’s prompted a C+ grade for B.C. on liquor policy in a new report from industry association Restaurants Canada, which concluded “Beautiful British Columbia is not so beautiful when it comes to liquor prices.” B.C. Restaurant and Foodservice Association president Ian Tostenson said the hospitality industry is struggling in many areas in part because of the high prices it must pay for alcohol compared to other jurisdictions. “The industry should be able to buy at some kind of wholesale price,” Tostenson said. “That’s one issue that should be corrected.” Alberta offers wholesale discounts for its restaurants and bars, but there’s

no wholesale pricing in most other provinces. Tostenson is in Victoria this week to lobby the province to make that change and to reconsider why it charges a higher sales tax of 10 per cent on liquor, instead of the usual seven per cent PST. “We have the highest taxation on wine in North America,” he said. Restaurants would also like to be able to buy from private stores, which do get a wholesale discount and might be able to offer a price break to win restaurants’ business. Tostenson said restaurateurs would also like access to the wider selection available in private stores. Coralee Oakes, the provincial minister responsible for liquor distribution, made no commitments but emphasized the liquor policy reforms already launched by the province. “Many of the changes we’ve made so far – including the introduction of happy hours and allowing children to join their families for a meal in the pub – focus on supporting restaurants,” she said.

NOVEMBER 11, 2015 Why do we wear a poppy in remembrance of our veterans? The poppy became a beloved and honoured symbol at the beginning of the 20th century and, even now, is worn proudly on the left lapel in memory of our war veterans. This is why, on November 11 — Remembrance Day—we honour the courage of those who gave their lives in wartime, sacrificing themselves for their country and for peace, by wearing this bright red flower close to the heart.

THE POPPY THAT FLOWERED ON SOLDIERS’ GRAVES During the Napoleonic wars at the beginning of the 19th century, these mysterious, blood-red flowers were seen growing on soldiers’ graves once the battlefield was deserted. Then they disappeared as mysteriously as they came. More than 100 years passed and, after the Great War, they flowered anew around the graves in Flanders, France. After various tests, it was discovered that the soil in this area was rich in limestone from buildings destroyed during the First World War,

Thank you to all our veterans and their families for great personal service to Canada.

The White Rock BIA proudly salutes our Canadian veterans!

creating favourable conditions for the poppies to flower. Once the war was over the limestone dust was absorbed and the poppies disappeared. SYMBOL OF LIFE AND OF HOPE The poppy campaign begins on the last Friday in October and continues until November 11. With the funds raised, the Royal Canadian Legion is able to give financial help to veterans of the Canadian Armed Forces who are in need and can subsidize healthcare establishments, research, the purchase of medical equipment and homecare services.

SkyTrain shutdown halted Expo trains more than two hours

Rapid restart years away Jeff Nagel Black Press

It will be nearly five years before TransLink expects to have a solution to rapidly restart a stalled SkyTrain line and avoid long stoppages like the one last month. A power surge shut down Expo Line trains for up to 2¼ hours starting at 6 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 24, as thousands of Canucks fans were trying to get downtown for a hockey game. Twelve of the 19 trains that had to be halted to ensure passenger safety were stuck on the tracks between stations, and staff had to manually drive them back to the nearest station and re-enter them in the computer system.

It’s been nearly a year since an independent review recommended TransLink spend $71 million on system upgrades following major SkyTrain meltdowns the previous summer. The top operational recommendation from consultant Gary McNeil was to add an auto-restart function that would allow trains to reinitialize and begin moving in a matter of minutes, if not seconds. His report noted an auto-restart module was available when the SkyTrain control software was upgraded in 1994, but the version installed then did not include it. TransLink is now targeting 2020 for completion of the auto-restart

capability, said Colleen Brennan, vice-president of communications. Feasibility studies are to be complete by next summer, followed by a business case and then a request for proposals. She said it’s a “fairly complex undertaking” because of a series of technical prerequisites, including the replacement of copper cables with fibre optics along the lines. McNeil’s report suggested auto-restart might cost $5 million, but Brennan said it’s premature to provide a cost estimate. Six out of 20 recommendations from McNeil are complete, with 11 in progress and three in development.

TransLink to replace fume-prone shuttles Jeff Nagel Black Press

TransLink will spend $9.35 million from the federal gas tax fund to replace 62 defective diesel community shuttles after recurring complaints about exhaust fumes that were making drivers sick. The use of the fund was approved by Metro Vancouver directors last Friday and the replacement vehicles are expected to arrive

next spring. The offending shuttles are two to three years old and there have been transit service delays at times when they’ve had to be pulled from service. According to TransLink, the replacement shuttles are “urgently required due to growing concerns over the emission problems.” The shuttles had been based out of Port Coquitlam and had been used primarily in the Tri Cities,

Maple Ridge, Burnaby and New Westminster. The transportation authority said operators have been booking off sick because of large amounts of fumes, adding there have also been growing public complaints about excessive tailpipe smoke. The fumes had also led to orders from WorkSafeBC on minimizing risk to staff and passengers. The new shuttles will be powered by gasoline instead of diesel.

Peer-to-peer services can cut waste: panelists

Share trend starting to roll Jeff Nagel Black Press

Juggernauts like carhailing app Uber and room renter Airbnb may be the biggest and most obvious examples of the cloud-based sharing economy. But speakers at Metro Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Zero Waste Conference last week said they expect much more peer-to-peer collaboration as the field expands. And they told delegates it holds great promise to help consumers reuse products theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d otherwise throw out, or not buy new â&#x20AC;&#x153;stuff â&#x20AC;? in the first place â&#x20AC;&#x201C; by borrowing or renting anything from a power drill to a pickup truck from a willing stranger. Borrowing from others to put underused equipment to broader use isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t new, noted Sunil Johal, policy director at the University of Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mowat Centre. But online networks mean instead of dozens of people you can approach for something, there are thousands or millions. The sharing revolution is transformative in part because we increasingly live close together in cities but disconnected from our neighbours. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bonds of social cohesion have frayed as our cities have gotten bigger and bigger and the sharing economy has stepped into that void to some degree,â&#x20AC;? Johal said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The scale of these markets is much, much bigger than it ever has been.â&#x20AC;? Repairing products that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be tossed out is a focus of a growing number of players. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to think of recycling as the last resort because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ultimately a lousy process thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of destruction,â&#x20AC;? said Eric Doster, of ifixit.com, an

Car-hailing app Uber has grown to more than $50 billion in value, despite not owning any vehicles. open-source site that connects repair experts with learners. The Vancouver Tool Library is one local service that lends out mainly donated tools, the Metro waste conference heard. Founder Chris Diplock said the tool library has almost no problem with borrowed tools not coming back. Critical to overcoming trust issues â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for someone to rent out their tools, apartment or their car â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are the recommendation systems that borrow heavily from social networks. John Atcheson, who helped launch car-sharing service Getaround before becoming CEO of Stuffstr, said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s critical to have effective systems to judge which users are good or bad. Unlike car-shares like Modo or Car2Go that either collectively or corporately own vehicle fleets, Getaround â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â which operates in five U.S. cities and aims to launch in Vancouver â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â pairs individuals who are willing to rent out their cars with others nearby who need one. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just physical products that can be shared or used more efficiently as the sharing economy grows, but also real estate and storefronts. Services like TaskRabbit that take out corporate middlemen and connect people with marketable skills to

buyers who need them will be increasingly popular, the panel said. Peer-to-peer transactions in five key sectors â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â transportation, retail, accommodations, services and finance â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â are forecast to balloon from $15 billion to $335 billion over the next 10 years, Johal said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are voting with their feet and their thumbs,â&#x20AC;? he said. Finance is being reshaped by crowdfunding services and online banking alternatives. Johal credits Uber for opening many eyes to the change taking place and the potential for the future, although he said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arguably not truly a sharing economy company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not peer-to-peer in the sense I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t decide how much I am going to charge somebody for a ride. There are set rates and Uber takes 20 per cent of the fee.â&#x20AC;? The company, worth more than $50 billion,

owns no vehicles of its own but like eBay connects willing buyers and sellers. Car owners run their personal cars as taxis for extra money. Passengers who need a ride open the Uber app on their smartphone and a car is en route a couple of taps later. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These companies are harnessing underutilized assets that they themselves donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t own,â&#x20AC;? Johal said. The biggest constraint is whether governments stay out of their way, he said. So far, Vancouver and the provincial government have blocked Uberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entry in the Lower Mainland. Cities across the country have been torn about how to respond to new services that are highly popular with residents but disrupt existing taxpaying businesses like taxis and hotels. Johal and others suggested municipalities resist the instinct to swiflty regulate with an iron fist to protect existing businesses and take a wait-and-see approach to deciding whether and how to control the new offerings. He noted those operators are typically self-policed through reviews. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If users are happy and nobodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s complaining, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s take a little bit of a hands-off approach.â&#x20AC;?

Ken Swan spins true tale of the Second World War

The twists of fate Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

t’s not one of those epic Second World War chronicles of leadership struggles, or analyses of military campaigns full of arrow criss-crossed maps. White Rock resident Ken Swan’s first book, Dancing With Fate, is personal, street-level history, the story related to him by his late Aunt Bette and her husband, Tom Gale, during visits back to England in the early 1990s. Subtitled ‘Tom and Bette spurn Rommel and the Blitz’ it might seem, at first glance, to be a deliberately trivial take on the times – not unlike Spike Milligan’s ‘Adolf Hitler – My Part In His Downfall.’ After reading only a few chapters of Dancing With Fate you may re-consider. The tale Swan has to tell of the experiences and mixed destinies of Bette Swan and Tom Gale might just be a big Second World War story after all. Quite apart from ❝It’s a tale of some remarkable events two people who wanted to that distinguish it from other accounts, it is the stay alive and story of a generation get through the that has all but died out damn war.❞ – seemingly ordinary people who lived Ken Swan through extraordinary author times and were shaped by them. Thanks to Swan’s book, part of that bigger story of the war lives on, giving human dimension to a conflict that becomes increasingly impersonalized each Remembrance Day, as subsequent generations experience it only through the symbolism of memorials, parades and poppies. The British-born Swan – a former Northern Rhodesian police officer who came to Canada in the 1960s and worked in the insurance industry, before he and wife Helene retired to White Rock in 2006 – has traced the stories of Bette and Tom with diligent research, humour and imagination (he credits White Rock writer Sylvia Taylor with helping him organize and prioritize the material, and author and book designer Tom Grant with ‘rescuing’ some dog-eared historic photos). War cut an indelible path of havoc and chaos through the lives of Londoners Bette and Tom and their stories are full of the kind of coincidences that would send a movie script to the reject pile – and yet they are the stuff of real-life drama. “All the stories are true,” Swan says. “It’s a tale of two people who wanted to stay alive and get through the damn war.” Who would credit that East-Ender Bette

Ken Swan’s first book is based on the war reminiscences of his Aunt Bette and her second husband, Tom Gale – and how they rebuilt their lives after the war was over. Alex Browne photo

could find herself married, widowed (her first husband was a Royal Navy man torpedoed by the Germans) and lose her mother and two sisters to bombing, all within the same 24-hour period in 1941? Or that, later in the war as a volunteer ambulance driver, she was sent to pick up a wounded Royal Marine evacuated from France on a U.S. aircraft only to discover that it was her own brother, George? For Tom, a regular army rifleman when war broke out in 1939, the conflict was just as implausibly dramatic. Sent into the Battle of Calais in 1940 – a virtual suicide mission aimed at diverting German forces while the evacuation of Dunkirk was completed – Tom was one of a bare handful who lived to become prisoners of war. The ship transporting him to Germany was sunk en route and he was picked up as a survivor by a Royal Navy destroyer.

Returned to England, he was selected for a choice assignment, to become personal driver for British actor David Niven. The star, who had thrown over a Hollywood movie career to become a colonel in the British Army, was to do a morale-boosting tour of troops in North Africa. He and Tom became fast friends – they remained in regular contact for the rest of their lives – but when the tour ended he returned to England. Tom was left to fight in the Western Desert campaign, only to become a prisoner of war again (and meet and shake hands with famed German Gen. Erwin Rommel in the process). Once again, the ship taking him to internment in Germany was sunk – and, amazingly, he was picked up by the same British destroyer that had rescued him the first time. Lapsing into the cockney in which Tom

told him the story, Swan – an aficionado of amateur theatricals who has played in White Rock Players Club and Metro Theatre shows – mimics the typically pithy comment of a British sailor. “’Ere – if you like our ship so much, why don’t you buy a bloody ticket?” There’s much more to the book, in which Swan follows through the rest of Tom and Bette’s lives, and the twists and turns of fate that brought them together for their eventual marriage in 1973 (they knew each other only peripherally before – Tom’s sister was the best friend of her sister-in-law). It was a story that grew on him during the writing, he says. “Years ago, Aunt Bette said, ‘you should write a book about all this’,” he says, adding that at the time he was putting together a regular newsletter for his former employers, Sun Life Insurance. “She said, ‘I can’t write this, and I don’t know anyone else who can write this.’” Swan took copious notes while talking to his aunt and Tom, who was a ready raconteur until he died in 1998, but found he didn’t have the time for the project until he was retired. “Even then it took quite a while,” he admits. “My sister, Mary Hughes, wrote a book and when she handed me a copy she said, ‘now it’s your turn’. “I felt obliged, and not too enthusiastic, but once I got involved, and once Sylvia pointed me in the right direction, I found out I liked it.” This likely won’t be the last book from Swan either – he acknowledges that he’s halfway through a memoir of his own experiences as a police officer and afterwards.

The African Children’s Choir, from Uganda, will perform two free concerts in Surrey Nov. 12 and 15.

Two concerts planned for this month

African choir ‘upbeat, joyful’ Black Press

It was more than just their voices that captured Sarah Lidstone’s heart. The songs of the African Children’s Choir told stories beyond what the lyrics said. “It’s very upbeat and hopeful and joyful,” said Lidstone, the North America choir operations manager for the African Children’s Choir, which is based out of Langley. Performing a mix of Ugandan songs, gospel and traditional drumming, the choir is hosting two free shows in Surrey this month. The first, on Nov. 12 (7 p.m.) is at Good Shepherd Church, 2250 150 St. Second chance to see the choir is on Nov. 15 (7 p.m.) at Legacy-A

Church of the Nazarene, 9012 160 St. at 7 p.m. “It’s a concert where the children all come from very needy backgrounds,” Lidstone said. “You see children where, even though they don’t have very much, they still have joy and hope.” The choir was founded 30 years ago to provide education to children in Uganda, and audiences around the world. Composed of a group of 18 Ugandan children, the group is touring the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom before returning to Africa where the children will attend school. All of the students are sponsored for their education until they finish university in their early 20s. Through their parent company, Music for Life, which works in several countries in Sub-Saharan

Africa, more than 52,000 children have received education since they began. For Lidstone, who started with the choir in 2008 and has chaperoned past tours, the experience is “inspirational.” “It melts down people’s hearts,” she said. “When we tour, the children stay for one night with a family, and the families are in tears the next day saying goodbye to them. Just having the children in their homes for one night, it really impacts them.” There are no tickets needed for the events, but donations are accepted. The children will also be selling handmade goods brought from Uganda following the performances. For more, visit www. africanchildrenschoir.com.

Spanish Nights debuts Nov. 7

The Flamenco party is on at Crescent Legion Alex Browne Arts Reporter

Get ready for an up-close-and-intimate encounter with traditional Flamenco dance in a party-like setting. Spanish Nights with Flamenco del Mar debuts this Saturday (Nov. 7, 8 p.m.) at the Royal Canadian Legion Crescent Branch 240, 2643 128 St. Flamenco del Mar artistic director/instructor Jill Tunbridge said the new informal format combines a first half of group, solo and duo performances featuring familiar company regulars dancing to traditional Flamenco songs with a second half in which the public gets to “just

dance to really fun DJ music.” “The idea is for the atmosphere to be like a Pena – a flamenco club in Spain,” she said. “It’s just a cool, relaxed, fun experience – like the best wedding reception ever, but one where you don’t have to bring gifts, just yourself. “And it would be great if ladies wore a rose in their hair!” While the company has usually staged a more structured stage show in the fall, Tunbridge said she is looking forward to the more spontaneous feel of a public dance venue like the legion, and hopes that this can be the first of a regular series of

such Spanish Nights events hosted by Flamenco del Mar which can grow and evolve. “This is a lot less stress,” she said. “The beauty of Flamenco is that it can be authentic on a street corner. It doesn’t have to be presented as a theatre production to have it work. The most important thing is a floor that is all wood. “I think people will get this – I think they’ll respond to the coziness of this venue.” Doors are at 7:30 p.m. and tickets ($15) are available through Christopher’s, at the door, or online through brownpapertickets.ca

Hammond aiming to improve on impressive first season

Provincials held this week in Kamloops

Adjusting to life in NHL Rick Kupchuk

Storm roll to Valley title

Black Press

fter his record-setting run last spring, which launched his National Hockey League career, Andrew Hammond’s approach to this season was no different than any other. For the first time, the Semiahmoo Peninsula native began a season in the NHL, playing goal for the Ottawa Senators while on a multi-million dollar contract. Yet, he insists not much has changed. “It’s a little bit different, but you kind of approach it the same way,” he said last week, immediately after practice in Ottawa’s Canadian Tire Centre and just prior to a flight to Michigan for a game against the Detroit Red Wings. “If anything, you try to put more emphasis on having a good start, and making sure you do everything you can to have your season start on the right track. “Obviously, throughout your career you’re doing all those things. But it is the NHL, everything’s cranked up a notch.” Hammond cranked it up more than a notch last spring when he was handed the starter’s role with the Ottawa Senators. Called up in February to serve as a backup when starter Craig Anderson was injured, he became the No. 1 netminder when fellow goaltender Robyn Lehner was sidelined a few games later. Hammond then went on an amazing run, first matching a record set by Boston Bruins netminder Frank Brimsek by allowing two or fewer goals in each of his first 12 games. He then went 20-1-2 (win-loss-tie) as a starter down the stretch as the Senators overcame a 14-point deficit to qualify for the Stanley Cup playoffs. The Senators rewarded Hammond, demonstrating their faith in the netminder by trading Lehner in the offseason, all but ensuring Hammond a place on the NHL team for this season. But he isn’t taking anything for granted, knowing his status as a major-league player can change at any time. He has put last year well behind him, and is looking ahead. “I’ve always been someone who doesn’t really

When it (the recordsetting run) was going on, I was going about my business and I don’t think it changed too much for me,” he said. “Hitting the reset button wasn’t something I struggled with at all. There are people all over the world training each day to take your job and you need to remember that.” In the offseason, he signed a three-year contract with the Senators worth $4.05 million, a significant boost from the two-year deal which expired at the end of last season and paid the 27-year-old netminder at a rate of $720,000 annually while in the NHL and $105,000 when in the American Hockey League. “I don’t think it really changes anything for me,” he shrugged. “I’ve always been someone trying to be the best goalie I can be. It’s all I can ask for, and whether or not I have a contract that’s

going to be my focus. That’s the only way you can really approach it and have success.” Many players give up on the dream of making it in the NHL when in their early 20s. Now 27, Hammond achieved the goal later than most. Having played just 25 NHL games prior to this season, he would still be considered a rookie if it not for his age. First-year players 26 and over are not considered rookies. And Hammond himself wasn’t sure about an NHL career until he was playing with the Bowling Green Falcons of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). He joined the Ohio university on a hockey scholarship in 2009 after a three-year career in the BC Hockey League, which included a short stint with the Surrey Eagles. i see page 36

Weeks ago, in their first game of the soccer season, the Southridge Storm senior boys lost to Langley’s Credo Christian Kodiaks 5-0. They waited until last week to get their revenge.

Storm coach Southridge, which played at the double-A level last season, and finished fifth in the province, entered Fraser Valleys this time around as a lower seed than they’re used to – seventh out of 12. But they got on a roll at Fraser Valleys, winning four games in a seven-day span, culminating with the game against Credo. “We had kind of a slow start this season, and we lost that first game but we battled back,” said Southridge coach Gordon Smith. “It was a pretty cool turn of events.” In the final game, the Storm jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first half, then held off a Kodiak push in the second half to secure the win.

The 18-year-old newcomer started Sunday’s game against the Chiefs, stopping 32 shots. He was also pressed into action Friday, relieving starter Daniel Davidson late in the game. The second-year coach said he would play the hot hand in net until LaForest returns in December. “Whoever is going well is going to (play),” Neufeld said. Against the Chiefs Friday, Paul McAvoy and John Wesley scored for the Eagles, while McAvoy also scored Sunday, along with Donovan Ott. The Eagles have another busy week upcoming – a Friday game at South Surrey Arena against the Salmon Arm Silverbacks, and a Sunday afternoon tilt, also at home, against the Vernon Vipers. On Nov. 11, the Eagles will host a Remembrance Day contest, at 2 p.m., against the Chiefs.

Senators come here in February i from page 35 “My first year at Bowling Green didn’t go great, then in my second year I started hearing there was a bit of interest (from NHL teams),” he recalled. “But you’re always wondering, you don’t know exactly what that means.” It was at Bowling Green he acquired the nickname The Hamburglar, a play on his name and his ability to steal games. He had his best season in the fourth and final

year with the Falcons, and the next season he was assigned to the Binghamton Senators of the AHL after signing with Ottawa. Even then, Hammond wasn’t counting on getting a chance to play regularly at the NHL level. “I knew I was going to give myself the best chance, and if it was meant to happen it would take care of itself,” he said. “But it wasn’t something I could worry about.” Though he doesn’t like to think too far ahead, Hammond is looking forward to Feb. 25, when the Senators are in Vancouver to play the Canucks. “It will be special,” he admitted. “It’s the team I grew up following and cheering for. I went to a lot of games in that rink as a fan. To have more friends and family in the building it will make it that much more special.”

Smell ‘n’ tell

Halloween weekend was a scary one for the Surrey Eagles, as the BC Hockey League team dropped two games to division rivals. On Friday at Chilliwack’s Prospera Centre, the Birds fell 7-2 to the Chiefs, and Sunday, kicked off the month of November with a 5-2 road loss to the Langley Rivermen. “Things got a little bit rough for us there in Chilliwack, but on Sunday in Langley, I thought except for a couple last-minute goals, that was our game to win,” said Eagles coach Blaine Neufeld. The Eagles sit in last place in the BCHL’s Mainland Division, with just four wins in 18 games. They’re just three points back of the fourth-place Prince George Spruce Kings. Defence continued to be a trouble spot for Surrey – the team has

now given up 86 goals-against, which is second-worst in the league – who have played of late without a handful of injured regulars on the blue-line, as well as in net, where 20-year-old starting netminder Justin LaForest has been sidelined. Though the injuries have continued to pile up, Neufeld expected to have a full complement of players – or close – within the next week. “We need to lock it down (defensively) – we want to eliminate second chances and quit chasing the play in our own end,” Neufeld explained. “I thought we did a lot better job of that Sunday, I thought we improved.” In the goaltending department, reinforcement came prior to the team’s two-game weekend series, as Forbes Ploszaj was acquired from the West Kelowna Warriors for future considerations.

Storm are fourth seed

All-stars announced

Kwantlen set for nationals Despite falling short in the PACWEST provincial championship game, the Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) men’s soccer team achieved their main goal and will be playing in Quebec a week from now. The KPU Eagles dropped a 2-0 decision to the Capilano Blues in the conference final Saturday in Burnaby. In addition to their silver medals, the KPU men earned a trip to the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association national championship tournament in St. Lambert, Quebec Nov. 11-14. Prior to last weekend’s playoff, PACWEST announced their allstar team which included a pair of KPU Eagles. Mateo Serka and Nawaf Binsaleh were among the 11 players on the all-star squad. Other locals on the team included Douglas College forwards Yassin Essa and Spencer Deboice of Surrey. Kwantlen’s women’s soccer team – which ended the season fourth in PACWEST, and lost in the first round to Douglas College – had one lone all-star, South Surrey midfielder Haley Eburne, an Elgin Park Secondary grad.

i from page 35 and Rowan Frost scored for the Storm, while Smith also heaped praise upon goalkeeper Landon Gill, who was not between the pipes during the team’s seasonopening loss. “He really stepped up and played really, really well,” Smith said. Credo coach Tom VanderHorst agreed, and said Gill’s performance in net was the biggest difference between the two games. “He was fantastic,” VanderHorst said of the netminder. “We are disappointed to lose, (but) Southridge played a great game and they deserved to win.” Prior to the Fraser Valley final, Credo had not lost a game all season, and often won games by multiple goals. Both teams are in Kamloops this weekend, competing at provincials. Southridge heads into the 16-team tournament seeded fourth. “The sense I get from talking to people is that it’s going to be a wide open tournament – there isn’t one team that’s completely dominant, so anybody has a chance,” Smith said. The provincial tournament began Thursday and wraps up with the championship game Saturday. – with files from Gary Ahuja

International softball tournament expected to be largest ever

City gets ready to host world championships Kolby Solinsky Black Press

The world is coming to South Surrey, and it’s been years in the making. “It’s amazing to me, I find it a phenomenon, how hard everybody is working,” said Greg Timm, committee chairman for the Women’s World Softball Championship, which will take place next July at Softball City in South Surrey. At the tournament, a record 30 international teams – it’s normally 16 at the World Championships – will compete for the sport’s crown. “It’s been a great learning effort for everybody, and we really think we’re going to run a tournament here that the world has never seen,” Timm said. “We’re inviting the world.” It’s the same venue normally reserved for the annual Canadian Open, a summer staple for Surrey and B.C.’s softball community – and the Canadian softball community. But the World Championships are guaranteed to showcase the best of the sport’s best, said Timm, and Canada will enter the fray as the defending Pan Am Games gold medallist. “This time around, they have the best team they’ve ever had, in my opinion,” he said. “If the athletes are ready and healthy in Surrey next year, we’re going to have an awfully

File photo

Canadian teammates celebrate during the Canadian Open last summer. proud Canadian contingent… people that want to wave the red and white flags here.” To fit the tournament and its guests, which include some of the world’s most talented underhandwhirling nations, the City of Surrey is spending $1.3 million to buff-up the grounds at Softball City. “We’ll make this an absolute diamond in the crown,” said Owen Croy, manager with Surrey’s parks department. “(Softball City) is of course set within a beautiful large park… the renovations

and upgrades will be a legacy for softball players into the future.” Croy said the million-plus will be used to improve the ground’s fields, backstops, dugouts, lighting system and the buildings, while Timm said the upgraded diamonds will have new dirt, irrigation and drainage. And don’t worry, he says, the washrooms will be fixed, too – “We’ve read and received mail and feedback about the washrooms,” said Timm. “We will have them completely renovated and cleaned up.”

Softball City is a landmark within South Surrey, the North Star of the city’s sporting map, but it’s also 25 years old. “The actual fields, the grounds, were tired,” said Timm. “With the support of the city, they have re-done all of the playing surfaces now, all four diamonds.” “Like facilities that have been around for a while, it needed a little bit of refurbishment to make it absolutely world-class,” said Croy. Timm said he expects “lots and lots of people in town” for the 10-day event, and estimates more than 5,000 spectators for each of Team Canada’s games on Softball City’s championship diamond. Participants will include the 30 international squads, plus all those involved in the Canadian Open youth tournament – in all, 110-120 teams. The committee has reached out to countries that have participated in past Canadian Opens – “You tell us what you want in a World Championship,” Timms said, “and we’ve tried to address every one of those as much as we can. “We want it to be a ‘wow’ experience for the City of Surrey and for the athletes.” The tournament is a credit to Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner and former mayor Dianne Watts (now South Surrey-White Rock MP), who were both instrumental in

pushing to win the bid. Watts was even in Colombia when Surrey was awarded the World Championships, and Hepner is seeing efforts through until the first game. Hepner and her council also pushed their Sport Tourism Strategy, which Croy credits as the “impetus” for all the work going into hosting the World Championships. “I’m really excited,” said Hepner. “I was particularly passionate about it when we made the pitch, no pun intended, and I’m looking forward to it. “I’m really excited because it’s going to showcase Surrey… to have it here in Surrey, I’m very proud that it’s going to be here, and I’m anxious to welcome the world.” Hepner says the tournament will be a “big boost in tourism” for Surrey – that it will sell “some 7,500 hotel rooms” and deliver an “economic impact of probably $20 million.” But the event won’t just show off the host – it will show off the sport. Though softball is one of the world’s largest participant sports – and the stars are heroes to every girl who plays the game – the best athletes are often quarantined to alternative ESPN channels, or off television entirely. The game exists in a cloud that seems to orbit i see page 39

i from page 38 around bigger sports, mainly professional male sports – hockey, football, basketball, soccer and baseball. “I think that’s amazing and, yes, it’s a bit like the Rodney Dangerfield of sports,” said Hepner. “It doesn’t get the attention it deserves.” A week after the tournament, the International Olympic Committee will vote on whether to include women’s softball in the 2020 Summer Olympics. “It looks like it’s all systems go, looks like it will be back in the Olympics,” said Timm. Asked how the World Championships will be different than the Canadian Open, held on the same grounds every year, Timm said: “The interesting part for our local people is, we’ve never seen the best teams in the world, with their best roster in the biggest games.” The Canadian Open has often been a “development tournament” for the highest-ranked nations attending, with teams like the U.S., Japan and Canada sometimes treating it as a tune-up for something bigger – last year, it was the Pan-Am Games in Toronto, where Canada won gold just two weeks after it failed to triumph at Softball City. “Locally, I think sometimes we feel the frustration of that because we want to see Canada win, and we want to see their best,” Timm said. “Next year, this is a tournament they play for. This is when they’ll put their best team on the

MUSE – the next big lifestyle inspiration in Delta…

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

use as a verb means to reflect deeply and consider something thoughtfully. As a noun, it refers to a person who is a great source of artistic inspiration. Now, as a property in Delta, MUSE refers to the beautiful 101 condos, four townhouses, and seven commercial opportunities starting at $189,900.

By Nicolle Hodges

Situated in a vibrant community, homeowners will find themselves with all of life’s necessities right at their doorstep: amenities, attractions, entertainment, and restaurants. Even more, there is a wide range of indoor and outdoor fitness options, including Steve Nash Fitness World, the newly renovated North Delta Recreation Centre, or the nearby Newton Athletic Park for soccer, baseball, tennis, basketball, and beach volleyball. MUSE even offers its own fitness facility so a good workout is never far from home. For

those more inclined to the outdoors, the area encompasses over 1,350 acres of parkland and miles of walking trails and biking routes. “The immediate area is a close-knit community with a number of nearby schools and amenities,” says Sales Manager, MUSE, Karen O’Hare. “It also features excellent shopping, grocery stores and restaurants, easy access to Vancouver and the lower mainland and good transportation.” However, one of the most exciting draws to the area transcends beyond what is available outside. “There are affordable options for everyone,” says O’Hare.. Exciting and interesting architecture will pose as a new landmark in the neighbourhood, offering new home opportunities to people who want to stay in the area or make a move to the area.” MUSE offers 18 different floor plans to choose from, sleek and modern interiors, and laminate flooring that offers the warmth of wood. Plus, new homebuyers have the option for a limited time to choose one of two professional designed color schemes - Ash or Sand. Enjoy the beauty of the outdoors with stunning city and mountain views with covered balconies with privacy screens give access to the outdoors year round, and embrace space with layouts that offer plenty of room to grow. “I love the 9ft ceilings and the gorgeous expansive windows,” O’Hare

says. “All the homes include parking as well as a deck and/or patio. I love the luxury details in the kitchen including the quartz counters and glass backsplash with the Whirlpool stainless steel appliance package.” All features – from indoor luxuries to outdoor amenities - contribute to creating a bright, fun, and inviting space that completes the MUSE lifestyle. “We anticipate MUSE to appeal to a wide demographic,” says O’Hare,

“young people wanting to stay in the neighbourhood they grew up in, professionals wanting to move up and downsizers wanting to stay close to their friends and family.” With over two decades of home building experience, Bassi Properties is recognized as a reputable homebuilder across the Lower Mainland, O’Hare says. Bassi Properties is driven by the principles of quality, reliability and affordability to ensure the homes

they build exceed the standards customers deserve. “There has not been a lot of new home multi family opportunities in the area and MUSE has already attracted huge interest,” she says. “The exciting architecture and finishings as well as the quality construction and design will make MUSE a must-see for any new home buyer.” Muse is located at 9015 120th Street in Delta.

Interiors are sleek and modern, beautifully finished, with stunning city and mountain views. Choose from a wide variety of floor plans.

OBITUARIES

GALLAGHER Lt. Col. Robert Matthew Passed away peacefully at home in Dublin, Ireland, on September 19, 2015. He was predeceased by his brother Jack, sister Patricia Henschel, and first wife Ruth Cleveland. He is survived by his wife Ruth Fitzgerald, children Sean, Neil, Moira, Tim and Malachy, 4 grandchildren, 2 great grandchildren, sister Marie Gallagher of White Rock, loving nieces and nephews, extended family and friends throughout the world. Three of Bob’s nephews, Lawrence, David and Robert Kootnikoff grew up in White Rock. Born in 1930 in Patterson, New Jersey, Bob was the 3rd child of John and Helen Gallagher. The family returned to Vancouver in 1935. Bob graduated from King Edward High School and UBC with a B.A. He was a career military man, reaching the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel in the Canadian Army and serving as Canada’s military attache at the UN and in UN peacekeeping missions in the Sinai and Lebanon. After retiring from the army he worked for the UN High Commission for Refugees, often finding himself back in the Mideast, often in danger helping those most in need. He also completed a Master’s degree in history, and enjoyed a comfortable life full of love, delicious food and wine, friends and dog walks in Dublin. Services will be held at 1:30 pm on Nov 6 at Robinson Memorial Park Services at 621 Robinson St. Coquitlam, BC.

McAndrew, Olive Heather

OBITUARIES

(nee Lilwall) November 1921 ~ October 2015 Heather was born in Lenore, Manitoba, November 13, 1921, and left us on October 18,2015,just a few weeks short of her 94th birthday. She grew up on a dairy farm in Battleford, Saskatchewan, with her 3 brothers and one sister. Heather loved to play hockey and was actually a talented goalie on a top women’s team. She married Lawrence Long before he left for WWII and after the war, the couple moved to White Rock to join Heather’s parents who had retired there. Heather had 3 children---Vivian, Laurie, and Greg. Years later, Heather and Larry divorced. Heather went on to have a successful real estate career and was one of the first women in the area to be both a salesman and an agent. Heather was predeceased by her parents, Ella and William Lilwall; her husbands Larry Long, Jack McAndrew, and Joe Doncaster; brothers Christopher, Henry, and David; sister Una; sisters-in-law May and Anne; nephew Christopher; and her beloved only son, Greg. She leaves behind her daughters, Vivian and Laurie; daughter-in-law Donna; grandsons Sean, Marty, and Joe (Karen); great grandchildren Raine, Victoria, and Leila; and many nieces and nephews. Heather had a long and full life. She had many interests especially Kenny Rogers’ music, the Blue Jays, B.C. Lions, the Canucks, and her precious Persian cat. In her final years her biggest joy was her great grandchildren. She was very pleased that 2 of the 3 of them were playing hockey.(Leila is still too young.) Their photographs surrounded her when she died. Many thanks to Dr. Nielsen, Cindy Cameron, and the wonderful staff of Wexford Creek long term care facility in Nanaimo who cared for “G.G.” in her last years. A Celebration of Life will be held November 15 from 1 -4 at the small clubhouse, Park Drive, Breakaway Bays Mobile Home Park, 1840 - 160th St. Surrey, B.C. (Persons with mobility issues please park right by the clubhouse on Park Dr. All others please park by the large clubhouse (near 160th entrance) and follow the path to the right until you reach the smaller clubhouse.) Interment will follow on November 16th at 1 p.m. at Surrey Centre Cemetery.

7 days a week - Shuttle to: YVR & Bellingham Airports, Cruise Ship Service, Via Rail, Langley Bus Depot, Eye Clinic, Tswsn Ferry, etc.
