Killer of Corey Bennett sentenced to 13 years in prison

Victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family welcomes jail term Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The man responsible for the shooting death of Corey Bennett in South Surrey two years ago is to spend another 10 years behind bars for the crime. And while family members of the victim said outside court they would have liked to see a longer sentence imposed on Donald James Chad Jr., they agreed it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;wellthought-out.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Given the evidence and preliminary trialâ&#x20AC;Ś I think the judge did a good job,â&#x20AC;? Bennettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister, Jamie England, said Friday.

Bennettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter, Kaitlyn Denton, said it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;a little bit more reassuringâ&#x20AC;? to know Chad â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â whom she saw for the first time in court that day â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was sentenced. Bennettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cousin, Adelle Rose Moreno, said it â&#x20AC;&#x153;helps usâ&#x20AC;Ś go on with our lives and try to heal now.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like an open wound thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been there for the past two years.â&#x20AC;? In deciding on the sentence, Judge James Jardine said he kept in mind that Chad didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t intentionally pull the trigger, as well as that he entered a guilty plea and issued a â&#x20AC;&#x153;sincereâ&#x20AC;Ś insightfulâ&#x20AC;? apology to Bennettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family.

But Jardine said he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ignore that Chad, now 32, had only recently been paroled on the night he went to Bennettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home with a plan to â&#x20AC;&#x153;retaliate, intimidate, extort, rob and humiliateâ&#x20AC;? him. Nor could he discount that Chad continued to engage in high-risk crime from the moment the gun went off until his arrest nearly two weeks later. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His record and his conduct demonstrates that he continues to be a danger in the community,â&#x20AC;? Jardine said Friday morning in Surrey Provincial Court. i see page 4

Smoke alarm lacking

RV fire fatality A South Surrey man is dead after an early-morning motorhome fire at an RV park last week. And fire officials say the tragedy is a blunt reminder of the need for working smoke alarms. Emergency crews were called to Seacrest Motel & RV Park in the 800-block of 160 Street at 7:30 a.m. Friday to find a motorhome â&#x20AC;&#x153;fully engulfed in fire.â&#x20AC;? Neighbours had called 911 after seeing smoke but were not able to gain entry into the unit. Surrey firefighters put the blaze out and found one resident inside. Despite resuscitation efforts, the 52-year-old man did not survive. Police would not disclose the identify of the deceased, and the coroner could not be reached by Peace Arch News press time Tuesday. Seacrest manager Nina Bates said the victim had lived at the site for about a year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a very nice man,â&#x20AC;? she told PAN. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Friendly.â&#x20AC;? Surrey RCMP officers, fire crews and the coronerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office were on the scene on the Surrey-White Rock border Friday morning, and RCMP said â&#x20AC;&#x153;at this point, foul play is not suspected.â&#x20AC;? i see page 4

Tree and vegetation removal from the Marine Drive hillside last week was the continuation of a project launched in the spring, aimed at “maintaining slope stability,” according to city staff. Several trees along the area known as White Rock’s ‘hump’ were cut down, prompting upset residents to call Peace Arch News, at least one of whom was worried about the fate of the ‘eagle tree’ at the crest of the hill. The city’s director of engineering and municipal services told PAN the work is part of the same hillside-stabi-

A city spokesperson told PAN last week that the ‘eagle tree’ – a large conifer that is known to attract bald eagles – will not be removed.

Environmental impact disputed by supporters, opponents

Coal terminal gets green light from port Jeff Nagel Black Press

A revised proposal to build a coal export terminal on the Fraser River in Surrey has received approval from Port Metro Vancouver. The port authority on Monday issued an amended project permit to Fraser Surrey Docks that approves the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s altered plan to load coal directly onto ocean-going ships, rather than first barging coal to a transfer site at Texada Island as originally planned. The terminal would bring up to four million tonnes per year of U.S. thermal coal by rail through White Rock, South Surrey and Delta.

Coal opponents predict the project will never be economical, although it has reduced its operating costs, loading directly to ships. Fraser Surrey Docksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; project still faces court challenges and the requirement to get an airemissions permit from Metro Vancouver. Fraser Surrey Docks CEO Jeff Scott wants to start construction as soon as possible but said the target completion date may be fluid. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really about timing our facility to when we think the market is going to swing back in a positive direction,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think this is a commodity cycle, a market cycle. We recognize 40 per cent of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population still

relies on coal to generate electricity and heat and light and the world still needs steel. So we still remain bullish on coal in the long term.â&#x20AC;? Scott rejected suggestions it is urgent to secure approval lest the new federal government give the port directions to consider climate change in its reviews. A new environmental review released by Port Metro in support of the decision again concluded the project is unlikely to cause significant adverse environmental impacts. The shift away from barge loading removed one of the objections of opponents â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that coal dust from open barges would be more prone

to wafting out. It also increased the project cost to $42 million because of the need to install a taller ship loader. An estimated 80 Panamax-size ships would haul coal out each year, instead of 640 barge loads. Communities and Coal spokesperson Paula Williams said those ships will run on diesel power when moored because Fraser Surrey Docks doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have shore electricity available. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How in the world they expect to obtain an air-quality permit for the pollution coming from the coal, as well as the Panamax ships, is beyond meâ&#x20AC;Ś Luckily, Port Metro Vancouver does not control air-quality permits.â&#x20AC;?

Bail for accused

Crown opposed release Kevin Diakiw Black Press

A man charged with possession of an AK-47 assault rifle and who is accused of handing off another loaded weapon to two youths was released on bail last week. On Nov. 12, Surrey RCMP received reports of a domestic disturbance in Guildford at about 6 a.m. By the time police arrived, the couple being reported had left. A short time later, Mounties received a call about a single-vehicle crash at 148 Street and 80B Avenue. During a search of the vehicle, police found a loaded AK-47 assault rifle, a restricted handgun, and a large quantity of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s believed to be cocaine and heroin. Police subsequently learned that two youths who heard the crash and offered assistance were allegedly given a fully loaded firearm and asked to hide it. They gave it to their father, who called police. Saleh Mohammed, 22, was arrested and charged with 15 counts related to forcible confinement, as well as weapons and drugs charges. Crown prosecutors opposed his release, but Mohammed appeared in Surrey Provincial Court last Wednesday and was released on $7,500 bail. He is under several conditions of house arrest, including not going near certain individuals, not being in possession of firearms or other weapons, keeping the peace and reporting to a bail supervisor.

Pedestrian hit in second crash at site Two people were injured in a South Surrey crash Saturday that took place in the same intersection as a serious accident less than two weeks prior. The most recent crash occurred at noon Nov. 28, when a Toyota Camry travelling southbound on 136 Street T-boned a five-ton commercial truck travelling westbound on 28 Avenue. The Camry then â&#x20AC;&#x153;bounced off â&#x20AC;? the collision and struck a pedestrian who was walking her two dogs, according to Surrey RCMP Cpl.

Scotty Schumann. The 48-year-old Camry driver and the 37-year old pedestrian were both taken to hospital with minor injuries. Schumann said speed and intoxication did not appear to be factors, and that early investigation indicates the truck had the right of way in the intersection. On Nov. 16, a 17-year-old was airlifted to hospital after a crash witnesses described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;horrificâ&#x20AC;? took place in the same residential block.

“Because of the life that he led, he decided to keep us somewhat out of that,” she said. Denton came from Kamloops with her six-month-old daughter and fiancé to attend proceedings. In imposing a sentence, Jardine addressed Bennett’s family – about a dozen attended in all, including his father. “I want the Bennetts to know there is nothing… to fix the pain or your loss or your missing your son,” he said. In addition to a nine-year term for manslaughter, Jardine sentenced Chad to a consecutive four-year term for possession of a loaded firearm, in connection with the weapon seized during his arrest. (The rifle used the night Bennett died wasn’t recovered.) Jardine also imposed a lifetime weapons ban on Chad – his third. The judge calculated 1,103 days credit for time served, leaving 10 years and 18 days remaining. Acknowledging the sentence is lengthy – and noting “that is appropriate” – Jardine addressed Chad and expressed a belief that he could still turn his life around. “This is truly a crossroads for you,” Jardine said. “This is the time. You’re capable of reforming – it’s up to you. Good luck.” Moreno said her family had never given up hope that Bennett could change his life. “We believe everybody has the opportunity for reform – even Mr. Chad,” she said.

Fire i from page 1 No further information was expected until the conclusion of the investigation, Cpl. Scotty Schumann said. However, fire officials issued a reminder to residents to ensure they have working smoke alarms in their homes. According to fire investigators, that was not the case Friday. In addition, only eight of 16 other units surveyed in the RV park that day were found to have working smoke alarms. Two others had alarms that needed new batteries; firefighters installed alarms in six other units. Assistant fire Chief Steve Robinson said a working smoke alarm boosts occupants’ odds of escaping a fire by 74 per cent. He encouraged residents to check their alarms to ensure they are working and less than 10 years old. On request, the Surrey Fire Service will install a free smoke alarm in homes that are not currently protected. For more information or to schedule a firesafety inspection, call 604-543-6780.

Increasing our odds of survival

he reminder couldn’t be more tragic. A 52-year-old man died Friday morning after a fire broke out in his South Surrey

RV. The cause of the blaze has yet to be disclosed, although police do not suspect foul play. But Surrey firefighters were quick to say the tragedy highlights something we all know – or should know by now – and that’s the importance of ensuring we have working smoke alarms in our homes. According to assistant fire Chief Steve Robinson, a working smoke alarm increases our odds of escaping a fire by 74 per cent. A recent study shows many of us are taking the message to heart – fatalities from residential fires dropped by 65 per cent in B.C. last year, with much credit for the decrease attributed to a campaign that launched in 2012 that focussed on raising awareness of using smoke alarms. But despite those statistics, the fact is, too many of us continue to gamble – intentionally or otherwise – with our lives and those of our loved ones. Perhaps it’s the “it won’t happen to me” mentality that prevents some of us from taking the step. Perhaps none of us has lost anyone to fire, so the chance it could happen in our homes – could injure or kill our children, our spouses, even our pets – doesn’t even come to mind. Financial cost of the added safety is certainly not prohibitive; consider for a moment how many of us spend $5 twice a week for a onein-14-million chance of winning the Lotto 6/49 jackpot. It’s a much riskier gamble to put a smokealarm purchase (many cost less than $20) on the back burner. A study of residential structure fires in B.C. from 2006 to 2011 showed that 79 per cent of 170 fire-related deaths occurred in homes without a working smoke alarm – emphasizing the fact it’s also not enough just to have an alarm; we must routinely check it to ensure it’s working. Further wiping out any excuse for delaying the move is the offer by Surrey firefighters to install one for free in homes currently unprotected by such a device. It’s a fact that we can’t 100 per cent prevent a fire. And the reality is, there’s no guarantee if a fire breaks out in our homes, that we’ll get out alive. But why decrease those odds of survival?

And while UN climate conferences always cause a spike in sightings of people wearing polar bear suits, here’s another inconvenient truth. B.C. polar bear researcher Susan Crockford reports that the world bear population is up to 26,500, a 50-year high. That Crockford, she’s just a denier…. Oh wait, the International Union for Conservation of Nature “Red List” says that’s about right, and the population trend is no longer “decreasing” but is now “unknown.” None of this is to deny that our climate is warming, or that the Industrial Revolution and carbon fuel use are part of the picture. It’s the religious zeal, misuse of data and attacks on skeptics that are troubling. B.C. already leads the country with its small but broad-based carbon tax, about which Clark will boast at every opportunity in Paris. We won’t see the BC Liberal government’s final “Climate 2.0” plan until next spring, but their advisory committee wants to start jacking up the carbon tax in 2018. Northern and Interior B.C. folks are assured they will receive bigger rebates to reflect the fact that they pay more carbon tax to drive long distances in the cold. And B.C.’s aggressive 2020 greenhouse gas target? The government admits we’re not going to make that, because the economy is growing.

Tourism from afar Editor: Re: Pier cam, Nov. 6. City of White Rock’s new tourism plan is to “re-engage key partners who have withdrawn funding over the past few years,” according to a consultant (End of the line for Tourism White Rock, Oct. 27.) It appears one of the city’s first initiatives was to install a new pier webcam. Cool view! However, I’m sure the city’s Facebook page advice to “view the beautiful White Rock waterfront without stepping foot outside” will not go well with key partners the city wants to re-engage, like B&Bs, the business improvement association and chamber of commerce. Ron VanDer Meulen, Surrey

Taxes rise as we flounder Editor: Re: Uncharted territory for Surrey tax hike, Nov. 13. Our taxes continue to go up much faster than inflation and, Lord knows, much faster than most people’s income, despite a massive increase in the tax base given the explosion in development in Surrey in the last seven years. It’s always easier to spend than it is to earn, and while governments don’t earn – they collect – it would be reassuring to see some commitment to holding the line on costs. Meanwhile, Surrey plans to approve paving a little piece of paradise and put up a parking lot, in fact a dumptruck parking lot, in the pristine Little Campbell Valley (Paving way for parking, Sept. 18) – much to Langley’s concern, and that of the many who enjoy passive recreation in the valley, which has the Little Campbell River, a significant salmon spawning site, flow through it. And while sorting out parking, Surrey orders closure of a business that has been in the community for 50 years to create a swamp to promote biodiversity and passive recreation (Civic expropriation to close Riverside, Sept. 25), when the Serpentine Fen is just a couple of kilometres down the road. No chance that the recent development upstream from the Riverside driving range has created a need to force this local business to leave to create a wetland to accept run-off from the development? Or that expropriation will remove the land from the Agricultural Land Reserve and ‘pave’ the way for development in the future? It is, after all, ‘Riverside’ and desirable property. You have to shake your head and wish our elected officials would shake theirs, too. We have just gone through ‘time for a change’ in Ottawa; maybe it’s time to apply that locally for the same reasons. Get someone running Surrey who is committed to keeping tax increases to no more than CPI, and who has concern for protecting what we have for the people who live

here and provide the tax money that politicians seem happy to spend. It might be Surrey First. It’s just not clear who ‘first’ is, because it looks like it’s not the people who live here. A.L. Hills, Surrey

Murkiness over water secrecy An open letter to White Rock mayor and council. Re: Water deal muzzles city for 3 years, Nov. 18. On Nov. 15, 2014, you were elected by the taxpayers of White Rock to be honest, truthful and transparent. And yet you enter into an agreement with Epcor that contains a three-year confidentiality agreement – an agreement to spend millions of taxpayer dollars where details will not be made public until after the next city election, which is scheduled for Nov. 17, 2018. You were elected to not only be honest and transparent, but to be seen to be honest and transparent. The city had the option of expropriation, where you had control over the process, rather than a price determined through arbitration. Taxpayers deserve an explanation for the reasons that the city felt

that they had to accept that details of the agreement were to be kept secret until after the next election. This absence of transparency leads taxpayers to think that back-room deals are probably taking place. The taxpayers also deserve an explanation as to the reasons that the city would not at first provide a copy of this agreement, and it was the BC Comptroller of Water Rights’ office that provided a copy. The appearance to the average taxpayer is that the city is being less than honest and transparent – and taxpayers are being treated like mushrooms, being kept in the dark. Richard Gill, Surrey Q Editor: One aspect of the City of White Rock’s purchase of the water utility that has not been fully disclosed is the shift in the cost of fire protection, known as the hydrant charge, from property tax to the water bill. We, the citizens, don’t know what happened behind closed doors, but what we do know is that this shift benefits the owners and developers of the highest value properties at the expense of the rest of us. The owner of a $2-million condo gets such a big benefit that it’s like getting their water for free for the entire year, while the owner of a low-value property feels the full

impact of higher water costs. Seniors who participate in the program to defer property tax suffer a double-whammy, since they will no longer be able to defer this part of the property tax. It will now be embedded in their water bill. It may be just a few dollars a month more, but did our council really intend to make seniors subsidize the wealthy and developers? We can’t even tell if they knew what they were doing, since it’s all so secret. Tenants who are obliged to pay utilities may also find themselves subsidizing their landlords, if they end up paying a water bill that includes a charge that really benefits the landlord. It’s been part of their property tax in the past. Depending on the facts for each specific water consumer, they may be hurt or benefited by council’s action. How did it happen that in our community the rich get subsidized by seniors and the less fortunate? My guess is that when you understand that the biggest beneficiaries of this switch are the developers of the multi-milliondollar condos, it’s pretty clear that this is the work of those at city hall who listen to the developers who swarm around there, rather than the citizens of this city.

Letter writers suggest Surrey’s civic leaders are putting the needs of truckers ahead of those of their residents.

Truck parking isn’t our problem Editor: Re: No solution in store, Nov. 25 editorial. Like most of the public discourse about proposed new truck-parking facilities in South Surrey, your editorial misses a key point. The for-profit trucking industry and its well-heeled corporate customers derive enormous benefit from the provision of essential infrastructure – taxpayer-funded roads and highways – at little or no direct cost. Only a minuscule proportion of truck routes are tolled. Proposals for meaningful weight-distance taxes stand little chance against aggressive and well-funded industry lobbying. Taxpayers are therefore on the hook for almost all the capital and maintenance costs of the road network that underpins the trucking industry, whose big rigs do the vast majority of pavement damage. And yet we hear our municipal representatives framing the debate about a new parking compound in terms of public-policy necessity. What we really need is clearer thinking. By what misguided sense of obligation do our municipal representatives imagine that we taxpayers should lead an initiative to provide further benefit to an industry that consistently fails to pay its way? If a jumbo-sized parking lot is so vital to the trucking industry, let’s arrange to give it the normal-course scrutiny that any other development proposal should receive. In this way we might make not only better environmental decisions, but better economic decisions about sustainable

freight transportation through our communities. Until that happens, where truck parking is a problem, let’s start handing out tickets like we mean it. Paul Thurston, Surrey Q Re: Diesel spill sparks more criticism, Nov. 4. Should the taxpayers of Surrey be responsible for providing a parking lot for the trucks of independent truckers, or a luxury truck-park facility in South Surrey? Surrey council says there is a need. When a potential trucker takes out a permit to do business in Surrey, is he required to state where he will park his truck when not in use? Is the indicated site inspected to be sure it follows all the rules and guidelines that Surrey requires? If that is done, how would there be a truck-parking problem in Surrey? Surely the taxpayers of Surrey should not be responsible for providing truck-parking facilities. If Surrey has overlooked ways and means of alleviating the problem they say exists, perhaps all truckers should have to renew their permits so Surrey will be able to deal with the truck-parking problem. Mary Davidson, Surrey

A succinct solution Why not put a truck-parking lot or lots in the developing industrial area? Why not? O.B. Eccles, Surrey

On arrival, police found damaged mailboxes and that vehicles in the underground parkade had been broken into. While investigating, police noticed a man walking off the property, and located evidence they suspected was connected to

the crimes. Charges are pending against a 43-year-old Surrey man. So far, efforts to locate the owners of the DVD player – which had a children’s DVD inside – and the watch have been unsuccessful. Anyone missing such items is asked to call the detachment at 778-593-3600, and provide detailed descriptions.

* No income qualification, conditions apply

The grand opening of the Surrey Tennis Centre made quite a racket last weekend, as players from across the city attempted to set a new record for longest tennis marathon. In total, tennis was played at the new facility – located at 5891 144 St. – for more than 40 hours beginning Saturday afternoon, and wrapping up late Sunday. Participants were attempting to hit over one million balls over the duration of the event, which featured a rotating cast of players.

The event also served as a fundraiser, according to Derek Wallensteen, the centre’s recreational director. Proceeds from the event went to Relate Community Care, an organization focused on helping the less fortunate. “We support everyone in our community, especially during adverse times, that’s why we’ve partnered with this charity,” said Wallensteen, in a news release. “We also believe in challenging ourselves and encouraging each

European gypsy moths were found in a large area of Surrey in Delta in 2014, prompting an aerial spray campaign this spring.

Moth spray a success: officials Jeff Nagel Black Press

Aerial spraying in Surrey and Delta last spring appears to have succeeded in eradicating an infestation of European gypsy moths. Provincial government officials say just two moths have since been found in the 4,500-hectare Surrey spray zone around Cloverdale and Panorama Ridge, and no moths have been trapped in Delta, where 200 hectares was sprayed near where Highway 91 connects to highways 99 and 10. About 200 moths had been trapped in the previous summer of 2014. No further spraying is planned for 2016, according to forests ministry officials, but continued intensive trapping is planned around Surrey to determine what kind of treatment program may be needed in

future years. Helicopters sprayed treatment agent Foray 48B. It contains the naturally occurring bacteria Btk, which kills the fuzzy leafmunching caterpillars before the larvae turn into adult moths. The introduced moth is destructive to forests, orchards, farms and urban trees. Halting its advance is also considered important to avoid trade restrictions. Some angry residents complained that they did not get enough advance warning of the spray program. There were claims of allergic reactions – unconfirmed by health officials – as well as local concern that other species such as butterflies and bees might be harmed. It was the first time B.C. has sprayed to control gypsy moths since a 2010 infestation in Richmond.

Power lines were downed and traffic lights temporarily knocked out after a onecar crash in South Surrey Thursday night. Around 8:30 p.m., police say the driver of a south-bound Ferrari California hit an icy patch of road on 148 Street, near 30 Avenue, “and basically just lost control and went into a pole.” The vehicle suffered frontend damage but no injuries were reported, according to Surrey RCMP Cpl.

the Ferrari when it “spun out,” said he and another driver helped the lone occupant out

of the car following the crash. “He was a 40-ish man, shaken-up but apparently uninjured,” he said. “Multiple air bags went off. He was shaky, but able to stand up by himself.” Rosenblatt, proprietor of King George Nissan, said he believes the high-end, latemodel car was “demolished” after “shearing off a hydro pole and bouncing off a couple of trees” in the accident. “It was pretty spectacular,” he said. – Alex Browne & Nick Greenizan

City asks TransLink for second forum The City of White Rock is asking TransLink to host another public-information meeting about proposed bus-service changes, following a request from a resident at city council last week. Speaking as a delegation Nov. 23, Roderick Louis described a “gaping hole” in public consultation on the part of the transit authority, following the announcement in October of eight proposed service changes in White Rock/South Surrey. TransLink hosted a booth at a city public-

information meeting on an unrelated matter Oct. 29, and had an online survey which closed Nov. 6. Louis told council that TransLink has provided little information about what the proposals will mean for bus riders in the community and that there are many unanswered questions. Coun. Lynne Sinclair tabled a motion to “request TransLink to schedule a public forum with regards to transit and the proposed changes”; the motion carried unanimously. – Melissa Smalley

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Peninsula-based group shines light on complexities of adoption

Support, sympathy and understanding Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

hen Marnie Tetz began the search for her biological family more than 30 years ago, it was all she could think about. The former White Rock resident – who now lives in Chilliwack – would come home from work every day and spend hours talking with her husband about the prospect of finding her birth mother and siblings. Though her husband was always supportive, many others in Tetz’s life couldn’t understand why she was so consumed with the thought of reuniting with her family, specifically her birth mother, who she was separated from when she was just 16 days old to be placed with an adoptive family. “At first, I was so excited,” Tetz told Peace Arch News. “But then, it wasn’t going the way I thought it would go.” Upon connecting with her birth mother, Tetz said it took a long time for the two to come to terms with their reunion. In the meantime – though she enjoyed a happy and loving relationship from both adoptive and birth with her adoptive family – she families discussing their first-hand experienced a rollercoaster of experiences. excitement, disappointment and “We don’t go to change their confusion. mind, or to convince them of a Unsure of where to turn for particular point of view,” Rymer help, Tetz was referred to the said. “We go to present a broad Forget Me Not Family Society, spectrum of issues that we know an organization launched on the hasn’t been talked about in their Semiahmoo Peninsula in 1991 work.” to offer advocacy, support and For Rymer – a birth mother education to families affected by who was 19 when she gave up adoption. Upon attending her first support her daughter to what she calls “coerced adoption” – an emphasis group, Tetz said she immediately on education is essential, felt a sense of relief. especially at a time when the “Unless you’re talking with B.C. government is pushing more someone who has gone through families to consider adoption. this, everyone thinks you’re crazy A campaign was launched at and obsessive,” Tetz said. “When the start of November, coinciding I walked into that first meeting, I with Adoption thought ‘these people Awareness Month, ❝Kids should know exactly what I’m to shine a light on always know who talking about.’” Fourteen years they are and where the more than 1,000 and teens later, Tetz is now the they came from.❞ children in government care president of the society, Marnie Tetz in B.C. waiting to be which offers monthly adopted. society president support groups in Events hosted by the Cloverdale and New Adoptive Families Association Westminster, as well as annual of BC have taken place around workshops and for its 70-plus the province in recent weeks to members. promote the campaign, and spread In addition to support, the awareness about the process of group has a strong educational adoption. component – not just in an And though the experiences of effort to aid its members, but to many members of the Forget Me reach out to the greater adoption Not Family Society are marred by community and beyond. years of secrecy and dishonesty, Bernadette Rymer, an eight-year Tetz and Rymer know that member, has led the charge in adoption is necessary under many recent years, organizing annual circumstances. presentations to students at UBC “There’s always going to be the working towards their masters need for adoption, but not the degree in social work. way that it’s been done,” Tetz said. The group presents a panel “Kids should always know who that includes representatives

Currently in B.C., there is an option for one side of the adoption to ‘veto’ the sharing of records. “I’d like to see a removal of the veto,” Rymer said. “It doesn’t mean they have to get together and love each other, but people have the right to know.” In the meantime, the group will continue to provide support to its membership, which is made up of birth parents, adoptees and adoptive families, offering a unique opportunity for members to gain an understanding of the other sides of a complex situation. For Rymer, the group has shone some much-needed light on her own daughter – who she was reunited with for 22 years before her daughter became estranged from her. “It helped me to understand why she was the way she was,” Rymer said. “I never would have been able to come to that place of understanding had I only been in a support group with other moms.” Tetz agreed that the diverse makeup of the group is paramount to its success. “We believe that in order to heal and move forward in your journey, we all need to be together,” Tetz said.

BYLAW 2056:

RED FM donates to Surrey, Calgary hospitals

Radiothons raise $1.1M for health Hospitals in Surrey and Calgary received a combined $1.1 million boost following 93.1 RED FM’s annual Radiothons, held in both cities on Nov. 25 in honor of Guru Purab. In Surrey, $820,000 was raised in the one-day fundraiser; $311,000 was raised in Calgary. For Surrey, the event was the seventh in support of Surrey Memorial Hospital, where funds will add 25 dialysis machines to the kidney centre, bringing the total available to 55. “Raising funds during the Gurupurab Radiothon has become an annual tradition for our community,” Kulwinder Sanghera, president of the South Asian Broadcasting Corporation, said in a release. “We all know someone who has suffered from kidney disease and we understand the importance of having more dialysis stations available to help bring more access to patients and provide them with comfort during their treatment.”

In Calgary, where the event was held for the second year, the monies will support the women’s health triage area at the Peter Lougheed Hospital. Since its inception – it was created as a way for the communities to express their generosity – the radiothons have raised more than $7 million for health care in B.C. and Alberta. Jane Adams, president of the Surrey Hospital and Outpatient Centre Foundation, said it “is wonderful to see the community in both provinces rallying around a cause that Canadians value above all other others – health care.” “A big thank you to everyone who donated and a special thank you to RED FM for sponsoring an event that enables the South Asian community to celebrate the Guru Nanak’s birthday with giving hearts.” For more information, visit www. championsforcare.com/redfm

The head of B.C.’s refugee resettlement effort says the generosity of residents towards incoming Syrians is “overwhelming” and he’s relieved the federal government has set a more cautious pace for the transfers. Chris Friesen now estimates 400 Syrian refugees will arrive in B.C. in December and expects another 1,500 in January and February, in line with the federal government’s revised goal of bringing in an additional 25,000 before March. “Now we’ve got a month or so to catch our breath, thank goodUNHCR/S.

Eighteen families arrived already My job is to serve › from page 18 website at www.thebcma.com Material donations are welcomed by Eversafe Ranch Outreach Society in Surrey, Langley and Delta (eversaferanch.ca) and the Muslim Food Bank (muslimfoodbank.com). About half of the initial 400 arrivals are expected to be privately sponsored and Friesen noted there is no cap on the number of those refugees – significantly more could be brought to B.C. over and above the expected share of government-sponsored refugees, depending on the number and capacity of B.C. sponsors. Numerous religious groups – including Christians, Muslims, Jews and Sikhs – are gearing up to either directly sponsor refugees or otherwise assist them. “It’s a proliferation of every faith, non-faith, businesses, law firms – it’s the whole gamut,” Friesen said. A trickle of Syrian refugees have been arriving in B.C. already. Eighteen families – 51 Syrians in total – have so far come to B.C. in 2015, all of them settling in either Surrey, Delta, Richmond, Burnaby, New Westminster or Coquitlam. “The majority don’t speak English. They’re coming from larger urban centres. Some are survivors of torture,” Friesen said. “It’s a real mixed bag of careers. There are medical students, university students, families with young kids, plumbers, carpenters, accountants.” Language training will be one of the biggest challenges for the mainly Arabic speakers. Friesen expects part of the $670 million Ottawa has budgeted over four years to respond to the crisis to flow to B.C. to help reduce wait lists for English classes and daycare spaces. Asked if he’s seen local examples of tensions from people worried about security risks, Friesen said he’s had a few negative phone calls, but called them a tiny minority. He calls it a major reversal in public sentiment from years of many Canadians suspecting every refugee was a “welfare-cheating bogus queuejumping illegal” to a near-universal desire to help. “I’ve got self-inflicted bruises from constantly pinching myself and wondering ‘what planet am I on?’” One change he still wants to see is an end to the federal policy of making incoming refugees repay

Chris Friesen is the director of settlement services for the Immigrant Services Society of B.C. loans – with interest – to cover their processing, medical checks and transportation to Canada. Ottawa has already exempted the Syrian refugees from that requirement. Advocates say it’s a significant hardship and undercuts efforts to help refugees successfully adapt to life in Canada because some may delay or forgo retraining to repay the loans. “To now say Syrians don’t have the loan but all other refugees do makes no sense,” Friesen said. “It’s time to put the loan to bed. It does not align with the humanitarian objectives of this stream of immigration.”

Many of the Syrian refugees initially identified as destined for B.C. are expected to head to Vancouver or New Westminster. Both cities are the currently listed destination for 52 Syrians now in the pipeline, according to data released by the Immigrant Services Society of B.C. But 11 other cities are listed, including 24 for Burnaby, 16 for Coquitlam, 15 for Victoria and between four and 10 for each of Delta, Duncan, Kelowna, Langley, Prince George, Richmond and Surrey. Those counts are as of Nov. 19 and total just over 200 for B.C. as a whole. Most of the refugees identified so far are privately sponsored. ISS officials say the numbers are expected to rise dramatically in the days ahead as more prospective Syrian refugees are processed.

The White Rock Harbour Board was recognized last week for its commitment to keeping the waters of the Semiahmoo Bay clean. The accolade came from the Georgia Strait Alliance at the Nov. 23 city council meeting, who presented the harbour board’s president, Gary Saunders, with a three-year recertification in the Clean Marine BC program.

The White Rock Harbour Board was first certified in the program – which uses an independent audit to oversee “environmental best practices” – in 2011; specific measures the board has undertaken include minimizing the release of pollutants, avoiding contamination of the water and ground, adopting wastereduction strategies and optimizing energy and water

conservation. “This recertification is significant because it demonstrates that, as boaters, we are committed to keeping our environment and its waters clean,” Saunders said in a release. “The environmental piece is key to our facilities’ operations and how we promote sustainable boating.” – Melissa Smalley

OPEN HOUSE

AN INVITATION TO A PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE Please join us for a public open house to learn about two park sites in Fleetwood and to provide your ideas and comments on their design. These parks were acquired through the development of the surrounding area and will serve as local parks for the neighbourhood.

Ultherapy delivers low levels of focused heat to just the right depth below the skin to target the deep tissues. The surface of the skin remains undisturbed but the controlled injury to the deeper layers triggers a healing response in the skin. The skin contracts and tightens immediately and, like other skin tightening procedures, Ultherapy simulates the growth of new collagen, but DEEPER than ever before! A smooth applicator (placed on the skin) projects an image onto the screen that allows us to see and plan where to direct the energy. We deliver energy to two depths during a single treatment. One pass penetrates 3 mm in depth which is as deep as you can go and still be in the dermis. Another pass over the treatment area penetrates 4.5 mm into the superficial muscular apo-neurotic system (the SMAS layer). The SMAS is the layer of muscles targeted during surgical forehead, face and neck

Get back the neck you knew! Ultherapy is an innovative, non-surgical way to help reinvigorate skin that is starting to feel less firm, saggy, or too relaxed.

For both women and men!

lifts. An Ultherapy™ treatment is non-surgical and cannot deliver the results of a surgical facelift. For people who are not ready for a facelift or just don’t want to have surgery, however, it is a non-invasive alternative that requires just a single treatment. Ultherapy can also be used to further enhance results of a surgical facelift. Your body's response to this energy is to recondition tired skin by stimulating the growth of fresh, new collagen. The result is a tightening and gradual lifting—or shifting—of the skin back into a more youthful position and form-fitting shape. Unlike lasers, which penetrate the skin from the outside-in, the Ultherapy®procedure bypasses the surface of the skin, specifically targeting the deep, structural skin tissues where collagen lives. Using ultrasound technology, Ultherapy actually works from the inside-out to lift and tighten skin non-invasively.

Jack and the Beanstalk Fraser Valley Gilbert & Sullivan Society is back to kick off Christmas pantomime season with Jack and the Beanstalk (until Dec. 6 at Surrey Arts Centre). Directed by Mike Balser, and produced by Lyn Verra-Lay, it returns to traditional territory – after a few experimental years – with a tried-and-true British panto script of the fairy tale favourite, last produced by the society in 1988. With a set by Omanie Elias that strives to recreate the look of a pop-up book, and costumes by Linda O’Donovan and Chris Roberts, the panto also employs the talents of fellow-veterans Tim Tucker (musical director), Alex Browne Carol Seitz (choreographer) and props mistress Maxine Howchin. Among familiar faces on stage are experienced and capable principal boy Michelle Gaetz as Jack; Dann Wilhelm, returning to panto for the first time in 10 years as the villainous Fleshcreep; and ever-reliable Samantha Andrews as Jack’s brother Silly Billy. Other regulars include Barbie Warwick and daughter Lois as Daisy, Breanna Branson (Mrs. Blunderbore), Adrian Duncan (King Sat-Upon), Rosie Forst (Queen Mum), Clive Ramroop (Goose voice and wrangler) and Lionel Rust and Alex Cameron as comedy duo Sargent Spic and Corporal Span. New blood in Jack and the Beanstalk includes Roger Kettyls (a veteran of Metro pantomimes, as Dame Trot), Elizabeth Seaman (Princess Melanie), Deanne Ratzlaff (Vegetable Fairy), Paige Thomsen (Goosepimple), Weldon Hoggatt (Clarence Clanger, town crier) and Dane Ogilvie (voice of the Giant). Jack and the Beanstalk runs Wednesday to Saturday with evening performances at 7:30 p.m. Matinees are 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. For tickets, call 604-501-5566 or visit tickets.surrey.ca

Don’t expect the usual Christmas carols – the show is a collection of traditional Blues Christmas tunes from the ’20s, ’30s, ’40s, ’50s and ’60s by the likes of Louis Jordan, Big Joe Turner, BB King, Eric Clapton, Charles Brown and Etta James, plus many more. The band includes regular members Leonhardt (vocals), Lonnie Glass (bass), Mark Comerford (guitar), Matt McLean (trumpet), Dave Rowse (sax), Andy Graffiti (drums), with special guests Dennis Meneely (former Streetheart member, on keyboards), Paul Wainwright (sax) and Deb Rhymer (vocals).

Peninsula Productions The joyous sounds of Christmas will continue at White Rock Baptist Church (1657 140 St.) Saturday, Dec. 5, when Peninsula Productions presents its ‘SingA-Long Messiah’ event with the 80-member Vancouver Bach Choir under the direction of Leslie Dala. It’s the second year that the choir – a Vancouver tradition since 1930 – has brought Handel’s uplifting masterwork to South Surrey. Organizers say that all who wish to “raise their voices in a Christmas spirit” are welcome, be they serious singers, ‘shower singers’ or those who have yet to experience the fun of singing along with a choir. Tickets are available at South Surrey Recreation & Arts Centre (14601 20 Ave.) and Tourism White Rock (1459 Johnston Rd.), or at brownpapertickets.com For more information, visit www.peninsulaproductions.org

Cinderella The White Rock Players Club tradition of a distinctly colourful, over-the-top Christmas pantomime (for the uninitiated, musical comedy with a heavy helping of vaudeville) continues

this December with Cinderella (Dec. 4 - Jan. 2, previews Dec. 2-3) at Coast Capital Playhouse (1532 Johnston Rd.). Based on a classic White Rock Players script by the late Charlotte Johnson, the new version, written by Sara and Lisa Pavilionis (and directed by Lisa) brings together all the traditional, fun-for-thewhole-family elements in the retelling of the favourite fairy tale, including a good fairy, a “magical maniacal” demon and, of course, poor, put-upon Cinderella and her ‘blended’ family. Sam Brealey stars as Cinderella, with Juliana Peralta as Prince Charming, Katherine Lozada as the Fairy Godmother, Shaun McHale as the Demon, and Ray Van Ieperen as stepmother Clarice Cuttlefish and Jennifer Lane and Bryce Paul Mills as her daughters Mildred and Winifred. Shows are at 7:30 p.m., with matinees Dec. 6, 13, 20, 26, 27 and Jan. 2 at 2:30 p.m. Also upcoming this season are Marc Camoletti’s celebrated 1960s door-slammer farce Boeing, Boeing, set to hit the stage March 2-19, and 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. For panto tickets call 604536-7535, or visit www. whiterockplayers.ca

Chamber music The next White Rock Chamber Music program takes place Saturday, Dec. 5, at 7:30 p.m. at Crescent Gardens Retirement Residence, 1222 King George Blvd. (beside the Best Western Pacific Inn, also known as the Pink Palace). The program will feature 16 year-old violinist Julie Lin with two of her violin students; the Christmas-oriented a cappella Kringle Singers (directed by Kathleen Anderson and including Reynhardt Krause); pianist David Chen; Zoe Chen, playing the pipa, an ancient Chinese instrument similar to a lute; and a poetry reading by Caroline McDowall. Admission is $5, with proceeds going to scholarships for youth of the Semiahmoo Peninsula.

Blues tunes Victoria, B.C.-based Uncle Wiggly’s Hot Shoes Blues Band – led by Hank ‘Uncle Wiggly” Leonhardt has been around since 1978, and, during extended touring in the 1980s, opened for such legends as Muddy Waters, Joe Cocker, James Cotton, Koko Taylor and Paul Butterfield. Over the last couple of years the band has extended its act with a Tribute to the Blues Songs of Christmas and that’s the show the seasoned musicians will be bringing to Blue Frog Studios, 1328 Johnston Rd., Friday, Dec. 4 at 7 p.m.

White Rock’s Doug Towle – internationally acclaimed as one of Canada’s premier guitarists, is back to put a Nuevo Flamenco spin on the traditional Christmas repertoire. A show at Blue Frog Studios (1328 Johnston Rd.) at 7 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 5 promises to spice up the eggnog of seasonal favourites with a distinctly Latin flavour. The well-travelled Towle – a past finalist in Guitar Player magazine’s Superstar contest – has drawn influences for his music from around the world, as well as kudos from audiences and industry alike in the U.S. and across Canada. Also a virtuoso on electric – he has presented a well-received Carlos Santana tribute at Blue Frog and other venues – Towle will be emphasizing the more acoustic end of the range with the current show, offering an exciting and fiery Spanish twist on the timehonoured favourites. With seven albums of instrumental guitar music to his credit, Towle will draw on his 2009 album High Spirits, as well as his most recent recording the Christmas-themed Guitarras Navideñas for the playlist. Joining Towle will be respected sidemen Goby Catt on bass and Lyndon Dewitt on percussion – plus a surprise guest or two. Doors open at 6 p.m. and limited seating is first come, first served.

White Rock Orchestra The public will be able to see an organization of volunteer music makers that has played a valuable role in the cultural life of White Rock – for some 35 years – showcased Saturday, Dec. 5, 7:30 p.m. at St. John’s Presbyterian Church, 1480 George St. That’s when the White Rock Community Orchestra will show off its varied repertoire of classics and light classics, under the baton of director Stuart Martin. Special guests will be The Cantrix Women’s Choir, directed by Sarona Mynhardt.

Earl Marriott goes undefeated en route to tier 2 championship

Mariners claim football title Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

It’s nearly impossible to improve upon a championship season, but the Earl Marriott Mariners senior football team found a way to do just that. On Saturday at BC Place, the senior squad defeated the Howe Sound Tigers 40-14 in the BC AA Tier 2 championship game, completing an undefeated run through the regular season and playoffs. It was the second consecutive title for Marriott, but the first time they’d won it without suffering a league-play loss; in 2014, they lost once. “Getting the first one was special, but this one is just as special, just as great,” said Mariners head coach Michaal Mackay-Dunn. “It’s a win that these kids will remember for the rest of their lives.” Though they cruised through much of the season undefeated – the team’s only losses came in exhibition play, against schools in higher tiers – Saturday’s championship game was far from a cakewalk, despite the 26-point margin of victory. EMS led just 7-0 at halftime, when running back Al Vergara scored on a two-yard run, just minutes after the Mariners’ special-teams unit had blocked a Howe Sound punt to give the offence the ball on the Tigers’ 13-yard line. In the second half, Howe Sound scored a touchdown of their own, and after a successful two-point conversion, led 8-7. The score served as something of a wakeup call for the Mariners, however, as the team reeled off 33 unanswered points, and led 40-8 before a late Howe Sound touchdown. “I guess we just got ticked off,” said Mackay-Dunn, trying to explain his team’s second-half outburst. “They got mad, and then just went out there and lit it up.” Quarterback Owen Dickie was 16-for-30 passing, totalling 275 yards and four touchdowns, while Jackson Silvester-Lee was the team’s leading rusher, with 63 yards and a score. Four different receivers caught touchdowns – Allan Hogg, Rhys

But it was the team’s specialteams unit – led by veteran coach Matt Phillips – that ignited much of the comeback, Mackay-Dunn said.

first touchdown, the team also successfully recovered two onside kicks. Though the offence sputtered early, Mackay-Dunn said he never doubted his crew would be able to come back and win. “No, I wasn’t worried. I knew the team we had. It wasn’t the

first time we’ve been down this year,” he said. “We just have so many good athletes, and we were focused.” The Mariners advanced to the championship game after a 13-7 semifinal victory the week before against Spectrum Community School, from Victoria.

Sean Whyte wins CFL title with Eskimos

Grey Cup to come to White Rock White Rock’s Sean Whyte is a Grey Cup champion. The Edmonton Eskimos kicker earned the first championship ring of his Canadian Football League career Sunday, after the Eskimos defeated the Ottawa Redblacks 26-20 at Winnipeg’s Investors Group Field. The 30-year-old Whyte – a Semiahmoo Secondary grad – finished the game with one field goal on three attempts. One missed kick resulted in a single point for Edmonton when Ottawa chose not to run the ball out of the end zone, and a fourth-quarter effort clanged off the goal post. Sean Whyte Though Grey Cup champ Whyte was not his usual self – he missed just two field goals all season before missing twice Sunday – neither was Ottawa kicker Chris Milo, who missed an extra point in the first quarter. Both kickers expressed concern prior to the game that the league would use new balls – which are slicker and not worn-in – for Grey Cup kicks, as opposed to the regular balls used during the rest of the game. “Can’t wait to kick retail balls tomorrow. Makes a lot of sense… for Grey Cup. Thanks!” Whyte tweeted Saturday, before the game. Now that Whyte’s Eskimos have won, CFL fans on the Semiahmoo Peninsula may get the opportunity to see the Grey Cup for themselves. In numerous interviews last week – including one with Peace Arch News – Whyte mentioned his desire to “bring the Cup back to White Rock.” – Nick Greenizan Visit us online at mmmeatshops.com

It was an unconventional victory – with a score more befitting of a peewee football game – but a victory nonetheless for the Surrey Eagles, who ended a month-long losing streak with an 11-8 win over the Merritt Centennials last Wednesday. The struggling BC Hockey League club – which had lost a dozen consecutive games prior to Wednesday’s win in Merritt – ended the slump in fine fashion, scoring more goals in one game than they had in the previous six combined. The Eagles trailed 3-2 after the opening 20 minutes, with Merritt’s Gavin Gould scoring the final two goals of the period, including a shorthanded marker with just 21 seconds remaining. Surrey poured on the offence over the final two periods, however, scoring four goals in the second period and five in the third to earn the win. Jeffrey Stewart led the Eagles’ offence with a six-point effort – including three goals – while four other players had three-point games. Tyler Andrews also had three goals, while John Wesley – who took over wearing the captain’s ‘C’ when Kyle Star was traded to Trail last month – had two goals

Eagles’ forward John Wesley had three points in Merritt. and one assist. Darius Davidson had a goal and two helpers, and Paul McAvoy and Trent Huitema had three and two assists, respectively, to round out the multipoint scorers. Daniel Davidson went the distance in net, stopping 40 of 48 Centennial shots. The victory gave the Eagles five on the season, though they weren’t able to make it two in a row Friday, after a 6-4 home-ice loss to the visiting West Kelowna Warriors. Surrey got off to a good start against the Warriors, with Wednesday’s goal-scoring leaders Andrews and Stewart each scoring again.

#UsedHelps

The Eagles’ 2-1 lead evaporated quickly in the second period, however, as Kelowna potted a pair of quick goals – Kristian Blumenschein scored just 31 seconds into the period, and Rylan Yaremko gave his team the lead a minute-and-a-half later with a power-play goal. The Warriors tacked on two more goals before the second intermission, and the lead proved to be too much for Surrey to overcome, despite third-period scores from Darius Davidson and Stewart again. Eagles goalie Forbes Ploszaj was tagged with the loss for the home team, stopping 28 of 23 shots on goal before he was relieved by Daniel Davidson midway through the second period. The Eagles sit last in the BCHL’s Mainland Division with a 5-22-0-0 record (win-loss-tieovertime loss), and are six points back of the Prince George Spruce Kings, who have lost four in a row. Surrey heads south to Washington this week for a two-game road trip to Wenatchee to face the Wild. The two squads will play Thursday and Friday, before the Eagles return home Sunday for a 4 p.m. game against the Nanaimo Clippers, who currently lead the Island Division with a 17-10-0-1 record.
