Cenotaph celebrates 90th anniversary By Jennifer Lang On Remembrance Day hundreds will gather at the Surrey War Memorial in Cloverdale to honour service men and women who have given their lives serving their country during conflicts and peacetime. This year marks a special anniversary in Cloverdale, site of Surrey’s First World War cenotaph and war memorial. The original granite cenotaph, built in
Soldier atop the cenotaph.
1921 by a Surrey municipal crew from B.C. granite, is 90 years old this year. It was dedicated on Aug. 4, 1921, and was meant to honour those who “fell in the Great War, 1914-1918.” A crowd of more than 1,500 people turned out for the monument’s unveiling in May 22, 1921 – a gloriously sunny day, a newspaper called the British Columbian noted approvingly. Everyone stood as the Salvation Army

On top of the memorial was a German field gun (known as a “whizz-bang” among the boys,) that had been captured by the Canadian 47th Battalion on Sept. 27, 1918. (It was removed and melted for scrap at the start of the Second World War, along with a second German gun that had stood on the other side of the municipal hall).

The names of 23 “Surrey boys, with the place at which they gave up their lives,” were inscribed in the granite, the newspaper reported. “It is probable that more will be added to the list.”

Talk about setting a good example. In just two short weeks, the student leadership team at George Greenaway Elementary helped the school collect more than 900 food items for the Cloverdale Christmas Hamper program. They’ve had to ask for more donation boxes at the school.

Over the past two Sundays, Melenchuk has spoken with a lot of the vendors, explaining the changes in store, and emphasizing that the flea market is not closing down. “They’re excited,” he said. “They realize there needs to be a bit of a fresh look.” The hope is to build on the existing vendors and add new attractions, including entertainment, food, buskers and even the occasional auction in order to draw more customers. “The ultimate goal is to bring more people to the market,” Melenchuk said. The name of the new operator hadn’t been announced by press time, but Melenchuk did reveal that the operator brings “a lifetime of experience” in the business.

The sudden and violent end to the life of Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi reminded me of the wisdom of Thomas Hobbes. He observed that without the rule of law, without the support of a strong commitment to law and order, life for mankind would be “nasty, brutish, and short.” Considering the examples we have witnessed this year in Vancouver, Libya, Syria, and elsewhere, we can only accept that Hobbes got it right even though he lived 400 years ago. As we approach November 11 and the annual ceremonies of remembrance this year, let’s remember to be thankful for the rule of law. Thousands of Canadian servicemen have given their lives fighting in Europe to preserve our freedoms. Hundreds of thousands of Canadians have made sacrifices to build a society that respects freedom and gives offenders due process and equality before the law. Canadian police officers and servicemen and women continue to make daily sacrifices to protect our lives and property. Let’s be aware that the Law, peace and freedom are not accidents of history; they are gifts from God himself, just as life is a gift from God. Martin Luther said, “God wants to teach man to know himself through the Law. He wants him to see how false and unjust his heart is, how far he still is from God, and how entirely impotent his nature is...” If you feel the need to thank God for law, peace and freedom as much as I do, then take the time to approach Him and thank Him today. Let’s take the time to remember those who sacrificed their lives on Remembrance Day. Our God is Almighty and well able to comfort those who remember and grieve. Join us in worshiping Him.

Who should we remember? It turns out not every veteran wants to reminisce about their wartime service on November 11 By Boaz Joseph In his own private way, an old veteran just wants to be forgotten. While Canada remembers its war and peacekeeping veterans and the fallen on Remembrance Day, for Louis, the date bears no significance, other than his wedding anniversary. As of tomorrow (Friday), he’s spent 70 years with wife Stella. They’re both 91, quietly fading away in North Surrey. They don’t bother anyone, and they don’t want attention. For Louis, being called a Second World War veteran brings out a defiant rejection of any recognition the country could give him. The man has never worn any of his six medals, never gone back to the old battlefields and never attended a military reunion of any kind. Louis – who more than 60 years ago spent weeks on rain-
soaked Vancouver Island guarding against a feared Japanese invasion with an obsolete Ross rifle and no ammunition, who waded into “water up to your neck” at 3 a.m. during the invasion of Sicily, and who repaired broken-down Churchill Tanks with a welding torch near Arnhem, Holland – saw no heroism in the war. Just soldiers, tired, cold, hungry and in physical danger. “How many generals got killed?” he asks at his kitchen table, a cane at his side. Louis recalls the poor-quality “free” cigarettes given to troops, the supposedly sunk-in-theAtlantic parcel shipments from home ending up in British hands, and how visiting dignitaries at the time gave no respect or thanks to the men on the front lines. Indeed, his wedding, which took place before he left the country, was on Nov. 11, 1941 during
a short furlough in Winnipeg. He got married at 10 a.m., followed by two minutes of silence with his comrades an hour later. It’s his neighbour, Terrie, who will delve into the cold, the hardships, the loss of friends Louis experienced during the war, relayed to her at one time or another in the eight years she’s known him. But Louis, private man that he is, does take the time to show a new visitor a collection of 18 small black-and-white photographs. His fingers point to images of ships in port, Italian roads, Allied tanks (good Shermans, bad Churchills), Canadian transport columns, his welding trucks and abandoned German tanks and submarines. It’s no history book, but a history book isn’t alive. Louis is. He’s one of the thousands of Sec-

ond World War veterans that are, even if reluctant, still able to tell their stories to those interested. The veterans who choose to stand (or sit) at attention at 11 a.m. tomorrow are free to express their pride for serving their country. But even those who don’t, the ones who remain in the shadows, deserve our respect too. All of the soldiers of the previous Great War are gone now. Within decades, all of the men and women from the Second World War era that are here today will be gone too. There’s a sense of guilt about asking Louis what Nov. 11 means to him – as if it’s a cliché. His answer is pretty direct. “Nothing. I’m trying to forget the whole thing.” For those who have never met Louis though, remember him, if just for one day. – Boaz Joseph is a photographer and Reporter at the Surrey Leader, sister paper to the Cloverdale Reporter

After dedicatory services were conducted by Rev. Col. G.O. Fallis and Canon G. C. d’Eastum, MC of New Westminster’s Holy Trinity Cathedral, a choir sang O Canada, Fight the Good Fight, Nearer My God to Thee and the national anthem. Bugler Clark sounded The Last Post. Dignitaries from as far away as New Westminster were on hand. Following the benediction, wreaths were brought forward by representatives from the Surrey Board of Trade, the Surrey Women’s Institute, various ladies’ auxiliaries, Cloverdale veterans and others, including schools, boy scouts and churches. The cenotaph has been in three locations in Cloverdale. The first was on the west grounds of Surrey Municipal Hall (the 1912 Hall that now houses the Surrey Archives). The outline of where the cenotaph once stood is still visible on the grass. During the late 1950s, it was moved to a new location outside of Shannon Hall at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds.

possible. The monument was refurbished that year. A wider base was added, the granite acid washed and flashed to restore its original beauty. New granite panels engraved with historic information were added, replacing old metal letters.
Also, the top was modified to better represent a grave and provide permanent Second World War, Korea and Peacekeeper memorials. The statue, “Kneeling in Remembrance”, depicts a soldier in typical First World War battle kit, with the insignia of the local B.C. 47th Battalion, kneeling at a grave. It was built using funds donated by Surrey school children, the Cloverdale Legion Branch 6, the B.C. government, and office of Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Kevin Falcon. It was unveiled on Nov. 11 during the 2006 Remembrance Day ceremony. Annual ceremonies were held on Aug. 4 until after the Second World War.

Veterans also fought for new Surrey hospital
To the editor; As we pause on November 11 to remember those who sacrificed their lives in military service, we can also give thanks to the Second World War veterans who played a role in building Surrey Memorial Hospital. Surrey vets, fresh from the battlefield, arrived back home in the 1940s and took up an important cause closer to home. They fought for a new hospital. Due to their relentless fundraising and advocacy, Surrey Memorial Hospital opened
in 1959. Now, 52 years later, it is the second largest hospital in British Columbia. It is now undergoing an expansion that will see the addition of 151 new beds, bringing it to 650 beds. The construction of the Critical Care Tower at Surrey Memorial is the largest capital expansion in the province’s history. Additionally, it plays an important role in the training of doctors with an entire floor in the new tower devoted to the Medical School at UBC.
The veterans, their family and friends would be proud that their actions have brought relief and life-saving treatment to so many families. Your work has made life better for hundreds and thousands of Surrey residents, past, present and future.

Thaw in chilly talks to keep RCMP in B.C. Municipal observer says a change in tone from federal officials is cause for optimism as negotiation deadline looms By Jeff Nagel A deal may be close in talks between B.C. and the federal government to keep the RCMP as the police force for most cities. Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender, the municipal observer in the negotiations, said the tone of federal officials has become more cooperative and conciliatory, adding “significant” progress was made this week. “Nobody is threatening anybody at the moment,” he said after returning from negotiations in Ottawa. “I am more optimistic than I’ve been that we’ll get there.” Federal officials told B.C. in September to sign a new 20-year RCMP contract by the end of this month or else they’d begin withdrawing the Mounties in 2014. That ultimatum prompted B.C. to start assessing what it would take to launch a replacement force. Fassbender said a final deal isn’t likely by the end-of-month deadline but added a framework may be ready and he doubts Ottawa would “pull the trigger” and act on its threat if that’s the case. “I can’t see the federal government using a calendar date as the breaking point if we’re moving ahead and close to a deal.” The agreement, if concluded, will be a 20-year contract with an option every five years for any party to reopen discussions on any aspect of it, he said. Any city or province will be able to opt out of the RCMP on two years notice, he said. Ottawa hasn’t budged on B.C.’s demands for a more generous costsharing formula, which currently sees large cit-

Solicitor General Shirley Bond: complex issues remain.
ies pay 90 per cent of local RCMP costs, while smaller ones shoulder 70 per cent. But Fassbender believes new provisions, including a contract management committee, will give cities much more meaningful input and control in containing escalating RCMP costs and influencing decisions made in Ottawa on an ongoing basis. Fassbender said the provincial government is continuing to evaluate what an alternate force to replace the RCMP might look like and what might be involved. “It doesn’t hurt to know what the option is,” he said. “If a deal comes together and we sign a 20-year contract I don’t think we have to look at it as earnestly as if we weren’t going to have a deal.” Solicitor General Shirley Bond said some simpler items have been settled in the talks but complex issues remain. “I’m hopeful that the momentum that’s taking place in bargaining would allow us to make sure there isn’t an arbitrary deadline,” she said. Bond said cities want to keep the RCMP if possible, but “certainly not at all costs.” B.C., home to the larg-
est number of Mounties in the country, has been thrust into a position of leading the talks on behalf of other provinces and territories. Its bargaining position eroded earlier this year when Saskatchewan and Alberta broke ranks and renewed their RCMP contracts, but with a me-too clause that also gives them any improvements B.C. negotiates. The current RCMP contract expires at the end of March.
SFU criminologist Rob Gordon said B.C. should press forward – even if there is a deal – to set up regional police forces in Metro Vancouver and Victoria to replace the current mish-mash of municipal police and RCMP detachments in those areas. “B.C. needs to proceed straight away to seriously look at the alternatives,” he said, adding that should take the form of a task force or blue-ribbon review.
Advocates like Gordon maintain a regional force would be better equipped to bust gangs and other criminals who don’t care about civic borders. Gordon said civic leaders like Fassbender seem too focused on the cost of the RCMP without considering the efficiency gains from switching to a regional force. “He’s still very much in favour of the RCMP because he can’t see a viable alternative,” Gordon
said. “The municipal concerns are very parochial, focused very much on financing. There’s no talk of efficiency along with the costs.” There are 11 RCMP detachments in the Lower Mainland, including Burnaby, Richmond, North Vancouver and Surrey. Seven cities are policed by municipal forces. B.C. disbanded its former provincial police force in 1950 in favour of the RCMP. – Black Press

Skaters ‘super excited’ by youth park promise By Jennifer Lang It’s the news local skaters have been hoping for. A new, covered youth park will be built in Cloverdale, Surrey city councillors decided Monday night, citing the town centre’s rapid population growth and a desire to create new sporting opportunities in the community. About 16,000 people have moved to Cloverdale since 2005, putting pressure on the existing youth park at 17848 64 Avenue, which can no longer meet the demand. The project will be similar to the facility that opened this year at Chuck Bailey Recreation Centre, Mayor Dianne Watts said, adding it will be an accessible and free recreation area that can be used rain or shine. “Everyone’s super excited to hear the news,� said Laine Siebert of Ollie North Skate Shop in Cloverdale. He said Cloverdale is home to a large community of skaters, who range from kids aged 6 to 8 to people in their 40s. They all agree the existing facility is lacking. “It’s bad,� Siebert said. “It’s kind of run down. There are cracks everywhere. Definitely, this new park is going to be a major bonus for us.� The city’s announcement comes just days after Ollie North Skate Shop owner Shawn Jafarnejad told the Reporter Cloverdale’s youth skate park was long overdue for an overhaul. He’d been gathering signatures on a petition – as well as seeking online support – for rebuilding Cloverdale’s youth park. He’d been hoping to convince the city to revamp or completely rebuild the park, which he said poses a safety risk for newbies to the sport. Jafarnejad wants to turn the park into a more

family and visitor-friendly spot, with better lighting, landscaping, pathways and other features that appeal to the whole community, not just skaters. A location hasn’t been announced, however Watts said local youth will be consulted as part of the planning process. The project will be added to the city’s Build Surrey program. Meantime, city staff will begin planning and design work for the project, along with approaching senior levels of government for grants or funding partnerships.

salmon virus has infected multiple species of wild salmon on the B.C. coast. The commission into the decline of Fraser River sockeye had ended hearings in September and began taking final submissions Friday. But commission counsel Brian Wallace said the inquiry will reconvene for two more days of testimony in mid-December. “Testing of samples of Pacific salmon from two areas of the province has indicated the possible presence of the Infectious Salmon Anemia (ISA) virus in several Pacific salmon,” Wallace said. More results are expected within a month, he said, adding the inquiry has asked for the latest test results and information on the fish. The first reported detection of ISA in two
sockeye smolts sampled along the central coast was disclosed by SFU researcher Rick Routledge in early October, after the inquiry stopped hearing witnesses, including experts on salmon diseases. Independent biologist and anti-fish farm activist Alexandra Morton said three more salmon taken from lower Fraser tributaries – a chinook, a coho and a chum – also tested positive for ISA virus. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is analyzing the samples and has not yet confirmed any of the positive tests. News of the potential ISA infection has rocked the B.C. salmon industry, raising the spectre stocks here may be hit with an ISA outbreak of the type that have ravaged Chilean and European fish farms.

Fisheries critics fear the virus is loose in the wild and will be able to infect net pen Atlantic salmon farms – if they are not there already – and pose a continuing threat to wild salmon stocks. “All these fish farms need to close down
now,” Morton said, adding ISA becomes more virulent in captive environments like fish farms and hatcheries. “The only hope is to turn off the source, stop crowding fish together and let this thing burn through the wild Pacific like a forest fire and

extinguish itself. That’s it, there is no other option.” Morton also wants a B.C. lab established to test for ISA and that it be overseen by an international board. The B.C. Salmon Farmers Association said it has sampled thousands of fish from its
members’ farms without finding any ISA. But critics like Morton don’t trust industrycontrolled tests. And U.S. senators from Washington and Alaska have also called for independent tests, suggesting Canadian officials may be too close to the $400-million aquaculture industry. Mainstream Canada, an aquaculture firm, said in a statement independent re-testing of the first reported samples has come back inconclusive. ISA has mainly been a disease of farmed Atlantic salmon and the European strain can kill up to 90 per cent of infected fish. Some researchers and aquaculture organizations say it may pose less of a threat to wild sockeye. – Black Press

Five charged for selling fake transit passes By Jeff Nagel Transit Police have busted a counterfeit ring accused of selling fake TransLink monthly transit passes that were made in China. Insp. Brian MacDonald said counterfeit two-zone FareCards that normally sell for $110 were marketed for about $90 to $100 through Chinese and English ads on social networking sites. “It was a fairly sophisticated operation,” he
said, adding hundreds of passes were made and sold. Xue Liu, a 22-year-old Chinese citizen living in Vancouver, is charged with three charges of forgery, possession and presentation of forged documents. Four other Vancouver residents – 23-year-old Brian Anthony Nardi, 26-year-old Jason KaYiu Law, 29-year-old Thunyapa Siriprapakorn and 27-year-old Jessica Tsz Ching Woo – face
charges of possessing or presenting forgeries. Liu and Siriprapakorn, a Thai citizen, are here on student or visitor visas. A third foreign na-
tional has been deported for being in Canada illegally as a result of the eight-month investigation, which is continuing and could lead to more charges.
Area mayors have appointed two new directors to the board of TransLink. Rick Christiaanse is a telecommunications industry executive and consultant who previously worked for Sport BC and with the 2010 Olympics. Marcella Szel is a former vice-president of CP Rail who also serves on the Port Metro Vancouver board and is past chair of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. A third director, Howard Nemtin, was reappointed to a second three-year term. He has a background in real estate development consulting and is a commercial mediator. A third of the nine seats on the board come up for renewal or replacement each year. TransLink directors collect more than $50,000 a year – a base stipend of $25,000 per year plus additional amounts for chairing committees and $1,200 for every meeting they attend. Although the region’s mayors have final say on the appointment of new directors they must pick from a small short list of applicants vetted by a panel that mainly represents business groups. The board controls all TransLink spending and meets behind closed doors. Mayors only get a vote when the board seeks higher taxes or fares for supplemental spending. The mayors council is pressing the province to reform the governance structure to give them more say in how TransLink is run and in setting spending priorities.
said, adding violators could get a $173 ticket or face criminal charges depending on the circumstances. TransLink expects pass counterfeiting
and illegal reselling of tickets will subside in 2013 when it rolls out its Compass smart card payment system. – Black Press

Coyote sightings Cloverdale residents might be wise to keep a close eye on their house pets. There have been several reports of coyote sightings in the area this week, prompting warnings to keep pets indoors. The first came via Twitter... On Nov. 2, @KelleBellaCa warned #Cloverdale and #Surrey peeps about a juvenile coyote spotted in her neighbourhood at 175A and 61B Avenue. “Watch kids and pets!” The second report came on Facebook Monday, when Cecilia Thompson posted a warning on the Reporter’s Page about a coyote sighting near George Greenaway Elementary school last weekend. “Keep your pets in, people!” She wrote. – Black Press
