Police psychologists advise killing anti-social, not necessarily psychopathic

Pet warning issued after cat mutilated Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The gruesome killing of a cat has White Rock RCMP appealing to residents to keep a closer eye on their family pets. “I’ve just never seen anything like this before,” Sgt. Paul Fletcher said Wednesday. “Someone came along and purposely killed

it. I wish I was making this up.” Fletcher said the mutilated animal was discovered Monday “in the immediate vicinity” of its owners’ home. Citing the family’s “adamant” request for anonymity, Fletcher would not say where the incident took place, only describing the location as on the city’s east side.

The cat had been cut in half, he said. He did not know what was used to kill the pet. Psychologists who spoke with Peace Arch News said such an attack could be cause for concern, but more information is needed. “It’s a red flag for things like lack of empathy, that someone’s ability to commit such a sadistic act toward a cat,” said Teal Maedel,

an operational psychologist with the RCMP’s behavioural-sciences group. Maedel, who worked in federal corrections for 25 years before joining the behaviouralsciences group, said an individual’s motivation for killing animals can range from displaced anger and revenge to uncontrolled � see page 4

Watts invites businesses to visit India

Rhythm and news

The Semiahmoo Secondary Grade 12 Jazz Band – including trombonists (left to right) Joe Nicholson, Ken Loft and Jack Chia – add a little swing to CBC’s newscast. The group performed several times Tuesday evening throughout the 5 and 6 o’clock broadcasts, which were filmed live on location at Surrey’s Central City Mall.

Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts plans to visit India next year, and she hopes to take 40 Surrey-based businesses with her. A Feb. 10-18 “business mission” is designed to provide Surrey companies with networking opportunities in the booming Indian market, according to the mayor’s office. “With its rapidly growing population and strong connection to Surrey’s population, India is a natural fit for establishing partnerships to create jobs and attract investment in our city,” Watts said in a news release Thursday. “It has become clear that the business potential of India is largely untapped in Western Canada.” While businesses are to pay their own way, the city has budgeted $128,000 for the trip, including travel costs for Watts, three councillors and three staff members.

MP Hiebert calls for waiver to become permanent

Feds blamed for derailing second U.S. train Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

A second daily passenger train between Vancouver, Seattle and Portland will be cancelled at the end of October due to border fees imposed by the Canadian government, officials in both Washington State and B.C. said this week. In August 2009, Amtrak expanded the Cascades train service on a trial basis to include an additional daily trip, and, at the time,

the Canadian federal government agreed to waive border-inspection fees. When the trial period expired on March 31, 2010, officials agreed to extend it and the waived fees until Sept. 30. Late last week the federal government said it would require the Washington State Department of Transportation to pay nearly $550,000 a year after Oct. 31 – money that would cover staffing costs for the Canada Border Services Agency for the second train’s

second train has been in operation, it has brought an estimated $11.8 million in benefits to the B.C. economy. On Wednesday, WSDOT’s Andrew Wood confirmed the second daily Cascades train – partially supported by both Oregon and Washington transportation departments – would make its last trip Oct. 31, unless the Canadian government had a change of heart. � see page 4

Newton, Scott Road and just west of Whalley. It also is very close to seven post-secondary institutions – three Kwantlen Polytechnic University campuses, Simon Fraser University, Trinity Western University and two campuses of the University of the Fraser Valley. One of the most significant benefits of restoring this service is that it will provide some realistic options for people south of the Fraser, who must rely on their cars for almost all trips that do not involve going to Vancouver or Burnaby. With connecting buses, it would be very easy from someone in Surrey to go to Abbotsford, for example. TransLink has also been less than enthusiastic about restoring this service, but at the same time it is saying it doesn’t have enough funds to put towards the Evergreen Line in Coquitlam. It’s high time that TransLink started to do a better job serving the area south of the Fraser, and at the same time, consider rail options that are far less capitalintensive than elevated SkyTrain lines. The study proposes that there be five stations or stops in Surrey and North Delta – at Scott Road SkyTrain, Nordel Way, King George Highway in Newton, 152 Street in Sullivan (with connecting buses to South Surrey) and Cloverdale. This study needs to be carefully compared to a study the province has commissioned, a strategic review of Fraser Valley transit expansion options, which may be released this fall.

Neighbours, firefighters, city staff join rescue efforts in White Rock

Would-be flood victims praise response Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Fast-acting neighbours and firefighters were praised by a White Rock man this week, after Sunday’s downpour sent water and debris flowing into his Habgood Street garage. Actions by the team averted major flood damage, Ray Moffatt said.

“Unbelievable what they did. I would’ve been totally flooded out, if not for them.” Moffatt, who has lived at the house with his wife for 20 years – their daughter lives downstairs – praised neighbours who called 911 after spotting a river of rainwater headed for his driveway Sept. 20, as well as firefighters who were on

the scene “within six minutes” of the call. The flow included debris from a construction site up the hill from his home, as well as tree branches. Moffatt has a sump pump that was installed after the flood of June 1999, but Sunday’s downpour overwhelmed it, he said. Water in his garage was four or five inches

deep “at the lowest spot,” he said. The firefighters, neighbours and city staff all worked to stem the tide of damage, clearing plugged manholes, setting up a second sump pump and sandbagging. Deputy Chief Rob Atkinson said the response was all in a day’s work. “We come in, and if there’s some-

body’s place in a state of emergency, we try to make sure that we mitigate the problem as much as possible,” Atkinson said. Moffatt’s neighbour to the south was also slightly impacted by the downpour, however, no other residents reported problems that morning, Atkinson said, noting the system worked.

Emotional return for firefighters Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Cheers, applause and tears greeted White Rock firefighters Tuesday afternoon, as they pedalled Marine Drive along the final stretch of a two-week journey that took them clear across Canada in support of Variety the Children’s Charity. “They’re coming! I see fire trucks!” one excited young girl exclaimed as her father and other team members rode into sight, high-fiving family, friends, colleagues and others who turned out to welcome the Shore2Shore crew home. Sentiments among the crowd who lined the street shared a common thread: excitement at the arrival, relief that everyone returned safely and pride in what was achieved. “Way to go Grampa,” read a colourful sign directed at the team’s Al McNabb. “What an incredible feat,” noted Mike Stark, a fellow firefighter, moments before his peers arrived.

Evan Bird is welcomed home by daughter Sadie Tuesday, as he and other White Rock firefighters finished a cross-Canada cycling fundraiser. As supporters rallied around the team in the parking lot east of the White Rock Museum, “Dream Team” leader Eric Kameka described an “amazing” journey that had no low points. “Everything went totally smooth… other than the weather,” Kameka said. “Each day was special in its own way… a wicked experience.” Kameka choked up when asked how it felt to come to the end of an effort that began nearly two

years ago. “To be on these roads, being that close to home… seeing the (fire) trucks and stuff pick us up, it was pretty cool,” he said. “It’s a little emotional.” The firefighters set out to raise $100,000 for Variety. By the morning of their arrival, they were more than halfway to the goal, with more funds anticipated. “We’re about $50,000, without knowing the bibs and bobs that came in along the way,” Variety’s

Carla Jones said. Waiting for the team to arrive, Jones described the riders as “on a high.” “They’ve had shockingly bad weather, but so proud of what they’ve achieved.” Firefighters from Abbotsford, Delta and West Vancouver joined the crew for the final leg, riding the 160 kilometres from Hope to White Rock, where the cyclists dipped their bike tires into the Pacific in a symbolic closing gesture. The ride

began in Halifax Sept. 8 with a similar dip into the Atlantic. Variety’s Barbie Hislop said it was a “true honour” to welcome the team home. Their efforts have already benefited the community, she added, announcing a $10,000 grant awarded to Sources Community Resource Centre for a program – Pathways to Competency – targeting school-aged children who aren’t quite ready for school. Funds raised for Variety help children with special needs, she said.

City undertaking lauded, but draft document ‘falls short’

Environmentalists critical of ecosystem review Kevin Diakiw Black Press

A long-awaited ecological review of Surrey has come up short, according to local environmentalists. Over the last year, the city consulted with the public over its draft Ecosystem Management Study (EMS), a document identifying environmentally sensitive areas within Surrey. David Suzuki Foundation biologist John Werring says the review is a great idea, but some of the principles in putting it together are flawed. Werring, a North Surrey resident, wrote the city last month, detailing his list of concerns. He notes the data used in preparing the EMS is out of date. “Several of the vegetated ‘sites’ that are plotted on the inventory maps no longer exist as green spaces,” Werring wrote in the

Aug. 12 letter to Mayor Dianne Watts. He also noted the maps within the draft document are huge and carry very little detail. “The ‘Sensitive Species Occurrences and Habit’ map is very uninformative in that there is very little information plotted on the map...” Werring is also concerned about the sluggish pace in including the document in the Official Community Plan (OCP). “The chief concern here is that with the current pace of development that is taking place throughout the city, by the time the EMS is finished and adopted into the OCP… there may be nothing left in the city to protect,” Werring wrote. Jean LaMontagne, Surrey’s general manager of planning and development, wrote back to Werring this month. He noted the mapping is older because when the environmental inventory was com-

Police looking for patterns � from page 1 anger and power. But Maedel cautioned against assuming someone who could commit such an act of cruelty will strike out at people. Research shows individuals with a propensity for violence towards people never exhibit just one trait, she said. “Making the leap that someone that’s violent toward this cat in a real gruesome way is then therefore going to be violent toward people, you can’t make that leap,” she said. “It’s one potential precursor.” Maedel’s predecessor, retired staff sergeant Matt Logan, agrees. By email from France – where this week he was conducting a psychopathy workshop – Logan said he can’t speak to the White Rock file without knowing more details, such as if the cat’s body was displayed in a specific place. He did say if the death was the result of a neighbour protecting his or her property, the incident could be “more benign.” However, “the deviant or callous act of an adolescent killing for a sense of power is much more concerning,” Logan writes. If the latter is the case, Logan would expect more cases to emerge, with more indications of “mutilation and premorbid torture.” “I would have to know more to label

this as the work of a deviant or psychopathic person.” Logan – who was the RCMP’s first operational psychologist, retiring last year – noted exposure to family violence has been associated with cruelty to animals by children and adolescents. A 2009 study found those who had witnessed cruelty to animals were eight times more likely to become perpetrators of such acts, he said. Maedel said it is an understatement to say the White Rock case “shows some anti-social behaviour.” If a pattern starts to emerge, the unit’s criminal and geographic profilers could be tasked to look into it, she said. Similar incidents have been reported in other Lower Mainland municipalities, Fletcher said, noting police here are liaising to determine if there are any connections. Monday’s report was a first for White Rock – and the first Fletcher has seen in his 25-year career with the Mounties. “I’ve just never seen anything like this before. It’s a unique type of investigation that we don’t see here at all. “Pet owners, please, ensure your animals are safely secured.” Police have no suspects or witnesses. Investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 778-593-3600.

Politicians call for solution � from page 1 “I’m afraid it’s money we don’t have,” Wood said of the $1,500 per train border fee. “We’re left with no alternative, other than a fares increase, which we feel will be a burden on our customers.” MP Russ Hiebert (South SurreyWhite Rock-Cloverdale) told Peace Arch News he is pushing for the temporary waiver of border fees to become a permanent change, in order to save the second daily passenger train from being cancelled. “I’m now pressing for the extension to become permanent, but we’ll have to wait and see,” Hiebert said from his office in Ottawa Wednesday afternoon. “At this point, the CBSA (Canada Border Services Agency) is more than willing to have a discussion with Amtrak about continuing the service on a cost-recovery basis.” At a press conference Tuesday, NDP provincial tourism critic Spencer Her-

Landlords warn of scam Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

After losing two months’ rent plus other costs to a non-paying tenant, father-and-daughter landlords Oscar and Lina Marin are warning other lessors to do their due diligence on prospective renters. “We never expected any of this to happen,” Lina Marin said. “She gave my dad cheques, we cashed them and then all of a sudden, the money didn’t go in.” The Marins have owned a twobedroom condo in the 15100block of 17A Street since 2005. They bought the South Surrey property as an investment. In four years of renting it out, the Marins have never checked tenant references. Until this summer, skipping that step never caused a problem. “I never guess how bad (a renter) could be,” Oscar said. According to the Marins, the unit was rented to a single mom in July. The woman presented herself “really, really, really” well, Lina said. And while they initially believed the woman’s excuses for nonpayment – which ranged from her parents dying in a motorcycle crash to the money being stolen from her car when it was towed – they quickly realized there was a problem. Researching, the Marins learned the rent cheques were being writ-

When they visited a White Rock address on one of the cheques, a woman at the home wished them luck getting their money. A search of the government’s online court database makes Lina suspect that others have also been scammed. According to the database, a woman by the same name as their former tenant has multiple fraud-related charges dating back to 2006. The files are connected to incidents in Surrey, Langley and White Rock, with sentences ranging up to 12 months’ probation.

The Marins started the costly, time-consuming process to evict their tenant July 24. A bailiff came – at a cost of $1,350 – to take care of the matter Aug. 30. In addition to those funds, the Marins are out their rental fee, the damage deposit and the cost of cleaning up their condo after it was emptied. South Surrey police are investigating, Lina said, and now, she and her father want to make sure the same situation doesn’t happen to other landlords. “At first it’s a headache, but it turns out to be a big expense,” she said.

respect. Among the resolutions put forward at the convention is one from the community of Hudson’s Hope, calling for three-year terms to be maintained. The rural-urban divide in B.C. will be prominent at this year’s convention. The UBCM executive has proposed adding two more members to represent the Metro Vancouver region, where more than half the province’s population now lives, to balance the majority of councillors from smaller communities who tend to dominate the executive. Another resolution calls for moving the date of local elections from November to October, so politicians outside the South Coast are less likely to campaign on snowy streets and highways.

Green Party talks funding, strategy Fundraising and election strategy were the main topics at the provincial Green Party’s council meeting, held last weekend at the Crescent Beach home of party chair Murray Weisenberger. “We had an excellent turnout of council members and a productive discussion about raising the Green Party’s status as the viable third-party choice in B.C.,” Weisenberger said in a release. The Sept. 18-19 meeting was attended by delegates from as far away as Nelson and included

party leader Jane Sterk and deputy leader Julius Bloomfield. The party’s new website – www. greenparty.bc.ca – was also reviewed by attendees. Executive director Rebecca Helps said the importance of the Internet and social networking as communication tools prompted the Greens to invest in improving its web presence. Citing the importance of competitiveness, Weisenberger committed to raising $5,000 for the party in the next three months,

and challenged others council members to do the same. The council also approved changes to the party’s Green Book that were recommended by the research and policy committee. A revised and updated version of the policy book is expected online by the end of the year. Up next for the Green Party is a reception for municipal leaders at the Union of BC Municipalities meeting next week in Whistler, where Sterk will give a speech. – Tracy Holmes

Initially, he said, there won’t be competition between hospitals. “We want to give all health authorities time to get used to the patient-focused funding model.” But by 2013, up to 20 per cent of acute care health delivery is to be via patient-focused funding. Dr. Les Vertesi, the head of the B.C. Health Services Purchasing Organization that will control the distribution of funds, argued small hospitals may actually be in position to exploit the new rules and expand their offerings. Under the old system’s rigid budgets, he said, many hospitals were operating “with their brakes on” much of the time, only doing half of what was possible. “They should be able to take real advantage of this,” he said. “Hospitals like the Langleys, Maple Ridges, Deltas and so on have expertise and space available and they can do things really efficiently because in a smaller environment the cost is smaller and the huge apparatus of people isn’t there.”

NEW OPTIONS for Real Estate Buyers and Sellers... Change is in the air... New Options Realty, formerly Assist2Sell New Options Realty, is a real estate brokerage licensed with the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board distinguished by its innovative programs. The new White Rock Office is headed by Fraser Valley Real Estate Board Members, Sharon, Jason & Jeff Deveau, who have over 35 years combined experience as licensed REALTORS in the local market. “We’ve always wanted to give customers full service at a reasonable cost and offer options to the Sellers...which is exactly what NEW OPTIONS REALTY provides. It is a very desirable concept and presents a unique opportunity for all parties involved in the real estate transaction.” The New Options Realty office offers “options”, including a full-service program which includes signage, internet advertising, advertising in local real estate papers, phone enquiries from buyers, showing homes to prospective buyers, plus preparing all necessary paperwork and follow-up. They provide full-service with no up-front or hidden costs. While their varied options may draw the customers in, it is the subsequent results that leave them satisfied. “You can charge whatever rate you want, but if you don’t get results, people aren’t going to care” said the Deveaus. “We believe that if your home is priced fairly, it’s going to sell, regardless of which real estate company you choose. The question is how much do you want to pay to sell it?” Being well respected in the community, Sharon, Jason and Jeff are looking forward to continued success and co-operation from their fellow peers.

Politics played at its worst over HST

he Liberal government will have a full year to try to sell the concept that the harmonized sales tax is a good idea for the long-term financial health of the province. It’s clear that over the next 12 months, a campaign will be waged with the ultimate goal of swaying the public from voting to scrap the HST and return instead to the previous form of taxation. Given that the province has already accepted hundreds of millions of dollars from the feds to implement the program, and insisted the change will help B.C.’s financial picture, why you might ask, would a Liberal-dominated committee vote to send the matter to a public referendum? Especially when it could easily vote it down in the house? The government, already in hot water over the implementation of the blended tax, wants to distance itself as far as possible from the whole mess. That way, if we, the voters, vote to scrap the tax, the Liberals can lay blame for any further financial impact – giving back the implementation money to the federal government, increased bureaucracy and the costs of the referendum, for example – at our feet. The Liberals come away relatively clean, and have a year and a half for things to cool off before the next provincial election. And the NDP? They’ve never said they would scrap the HST and return to the old system if they became government. Led by Carole James, they let Bill Vander Zalm’s unelected crew do all the heavy lifting in the anti-HST campaign and then simply tagged onto his coattails. New Democrats’ campaign over the next 12 months will likely be as spirited as the Liberals’, but it’s unlikely they will offer much more than criticism over their opponents’ past miscalculations of public opinion. It’s time for politicians of both stripes to stand up and do the job they were elected to do, which is make the tough decisions, be accountable for their actions and not let emotions run the province.

How to make a ghost town Editor: Re: $4/hour parking perused; More changes in store…, Sept. 15, 22. I am writing this letter as a homeowner and a business owner in the City of White Rock. Since I moved here 10 years ago, I have witnessed a steady stream of businesses move out of the Johnston Road corridor, East Beach become a business district for non-retail leases – not the norm for such beautiful waterfront – and the business district on West Beach lose its lustre. When I read the latest article in Peace Arch News about city council maybe putting parking rates to $3 an hour and $1 an hour in the winter for Marine Drive – and pay parking along Johnston from a previous article – a tear rolled down my face. When will the city learn they can not use pay parking as a way to balance the books, when White Rock is a ghost town of lost businesses? It is a shame politicians can ruin a small community like White Rock by driving away businesses. Once a community has lost a vibrant business district, it is a lot of effort to bring it back. A person just has to look at communities that have had mega-malls open near the centre of town, and to see what happened to the business districts – Langley City, Chilliwack, Abbotsford… I want a livable community, where there are shops to walk to and a vibrant waterfront to show visitors and locals the beauty of our city. White Rock city hall should not look to parking as the only revenue it has, at the expense of the business community and all of its citizens. I would like to see free MondayThursday parking in the off-season be reinstated, as many waterfront businesses had seen an increase in customers and experienced the goodwill of the city helping bring customers back to the community during the winter months. Maureen Coroliuc, White Rock

Priorities at play Editor: White Rock has a great community space in the Bosa building. However, White Rock Community Centre is not available on Sunday afternoons and evenings, apparently due to staffing. It seems a waste of resources, as many groups would like to schedule programs then. The contract bridge club would like to have their Sunday afternoon bridge in the community centre. Tuesday bridge is well-attended, as many with mobility issues are able to get to the centre. I’m sure Sunday bridge there would be equally wellattended, whereas at Kent Street Centre on Sundays, there are usually only three or four tables. Historically, the Sunday contract bridge club met in the Upper Town Centre, formerly of the Bosa site. I would like White Rock council to

look at their priorities. The seniors of White Rock have been taxpayers for years and deserve consideration. June Cleghorn, White Rock

First, we must fix welfare Editor: Four hundred ninety migrants will be given all the support they need. Cost per person, $200 per day. We have a son living in Langley who had a stroke at age 48. His right side is paralyzed. He does not drink, or smoke, or use drugs. He has been refused disability

benefits, is on $375 welfare and uses the food bank. He would be very happy to receive the support that he needs – such as $200 per day! He is unable to pay his rent and look after himself properly. Try slicing a loaf of bread with your right side paralyzed, especially if you are right-handed, or try opening a can of food. There is something terribly wrong with our welfare system in this province. Fix it, before giving all the support they need to migrants. Surely a person who has worked hard and paid taxes here is entitled to at least equal compensation given to an incoming migrant, who has never contributed to this province. Frank & Irene Ratz, Surrey

Might be worth the weather Editor: I was browsing through my 2010 Old Farmer’s Almanac and found this note regarding storms: “If on September 19th there is a storm from the south, a mild winter may be expected.” I was caught in last Sunday’s storm from the south – torrential rain, lighting and thunder. If it brings a mild winter, I will look forward to a similar storm next September. David J.H. Cook, White Rock

The Canadian Plastic Industry Association advises that plastic bags should be reused multiple times, then recycled.

Consider the problem with plastic Editor: What’s with the all the plastic? Lately, I have found the rustling sound of plastic in the grocery store unnerving. Having just moved back to White Rock, I am stunned by the amount of plastic I see residents using at the grocery store. White Rock residents are so considerate and community focused that the wastefulness seems out of character, like an old habit we’ve yet to break. Though some people thoughtfully bring reusable shopping bags, the most unsettling display is the needless use of produce bags. Produce bags are an archaic excess that many shoppers have completely done away with. Using a plastic bag for produce is almost always unnecessary. Most fruits and vegetables come in a removable or washable casing, and mingle together in the crisper at home. While bags might make sense for multiples like green beans or cherries – though there are alternatives – your larger items will sit nicely side-by-side in a cart and shopping bag. I promise your oranges won’t roll away, and the cart won’t contaminate your broccoli. Grocery attendants are perfectly able to weigh your items without bags when you arrange them on the counter, and you save your local grocer the cost of more bags. More importantly, you’re saving the planet. As you may have heard, plastic bags are extremely harmful to the environment. Made from oil, they can take from 250 to 1,000 years to break down, but will never fully decompose. Think about that the next time you visit our ever-growing and smelly dump. The damage they cause to marine life should certainly hit home for our beach-loving residents. Plastic bags account for 60-90 per cent of debris polluting the oceans. Using a plastic bag really is a permanent decision. Cutting out the produce bags is one of the easiest green moves you can make.

So, the next time you catch yourself dropping a single onion into a produce bag, consider where it will end up, and whether the meal might taste better plastic free. Meghan Williams, White Rock

Artificial excuse costs business

I wonder how many of your readers have noticed the slowly increasing numbers of retailers insidiously introducing a five-cent charge for providing a plastic shopping bag when purchasing merchandise. It is not the amount, but the principle, or lack thereof, which I question. Why are they doing this? The common reason I am given “it’s to save the environment.” What rubbish is this? How can paying five cents for every plastic bag we buy from them possibly save the environment? It is dishonest – but unfortunately legal – for surely the cost of wrapping has already been factored into the price at which they eventually sell. It is only a negligible amount, I know, but it is wrong. Why do it, and worse, why lie about it? Do not believe for one moment they have the welfare of the planet in mind. Oh no, they are selling us bags at five cents each that cost them much, much less. I know times are hard for retailers, but it is about time retailers recognized times are just as hard for customers. If they really wanted to help the environment, they would stop using plastic bags altogether and go back to using paper bags which are biodegradable, and, if my memory serves me well, used to be provided free. But that was in the old days, before much cheaper plastic bags were available, which retailers welcomed due to their much lower cost and increased profit margins. I no longer offer my custom to a bakery and a drugstore because of their plastic-bag charges, preferring to support those stores still offering basic, honest and courteous service.

news Certified contractors will have to make repeat visits

City ready to tighten rules on grow-op repairs Kevin Diakiw Black Press

It’s going to get a lot more expensive for people to repair their homes in Surrey when marijuana grow-ops are found. The city is strengthening its Controlled Substance Property Bylaw, placing more restrictions on how the homes are repaired. Often, houses with grow operations have unsafe wiring and suffer extensive moisture damage. Currently, when a home is identified as a former marijuana grow operation, a consultant is hired to decide if the building is safe. If not, the city takes away

occupancy permits until it is made safe. However, environmental consultants don’t have to be certified. In addition, the consultant only comes in at the beginning of the process and at the very end to sign off on the repairs. It’s difficult to know if repairs have been properly done when all the walls are up and the work is concealed. Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis said many environmental consultants were reticent to sign off on the work fearing liability if it wasn’t properly done. “The environmental consultants

were ever increasingly concerned about their responsibility of signing off at the end of this,” Garis said. That’s about to change. By next month, certified contractors will have to visit frequently to ensure the new work is being performed safely and to code before the project getsapproved. “We’re adding some rigour to the entire process,” Garis said. A draft bylaw will be taken to stakeholders, and then be brought back to council for approval. The new bylaw should come into effect by the end of October.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Alyssa Nielsen impersonates princesses

Part of their world Hannah Sutherland

Staff Reporter

n attending little girls’ birthday parties, Alyssa Nielsen has received gasps of astonishment, expressions of outright glee and, occasionally, tears of joy. That’s because the girls she entertains see a princess who has stepped right out of their favourite Disney movie and become part of their world. Nielsen has been impersonating characters such as Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and The Little Mermaid’s Ariel for about two years, utilizing the exceptional vocals she first exhibited at four years old. Nielsen has had a passion for singing since learning from her grandmother, whom she remembers playing eight-tracks of ’70s western music, such as Hank Williams and Charlie Rich. “It was like a gift right from the very beginning,” she said. “It’s my passion, it’s the thing that really feeds my soul.” From the ages of 12 to 19, Nielsen lived in South Surrey, where she attended Grandview Heights Elementary and Earl Marriott Secondary. She eventually switched to homeschooling in Grade 10 to focus on her performaning career. On top of singing gigs, Nielsen also developed her acting skills, appearing in film and TV, such as 21 Jump Street. Now a Langley mother-of-two, she works as a member of ABBA tribute band Abba Cadabra while running company As You Wish, through which she offers her princess services. Nielsen first thought of impersonating Disney characters 10 years ago, while singing along

She received some of her first jobs there, and, since then, has added additional characters to her repertoire. And Nielsen doesn’t just use cheap Halloween costumes, either. Some of the gowns she wears have been altered specifically for the character, while others have been made from scratch by a seamstress. To add to the princess experience, Nielsen stays in character the entire time she is at an event, performing the songs that particular princess is known to sing, posing for photos

and telling a story. “We just have fun for an hour.” Nielsen said the children are usually awe-struck by her entrance, and enthralled during her visit. “It’s like you’re a celebrity by default,” she said, likening the girls’ experience to Sting walking into an adult’s birthday party and serenading guests with one of his hit songs. “What feels good is I’m able to bring that to them, and be a vessel for that.” After singing at a recent party, Nielsen said a five-year-old girl looked up at her and admiringly said ‘That was so beautiful.’ “Little girls will cry sometimes when I’m singing – they’re really moved.” Because young girls “really worship the princesses,” Nielsen said she uses the characters to teach values, such as friendship and kindness. She said they serve as positive role models in an age when there is no shortage of negative influences.

“It’s… important to me that I’m able to bring something to these little women,” she said. “There’s so much negative influence, there’s so much expectation, sometimes these magazines can be devastating to look at. “It’s a huge part of my mission to teach these little girls about their self worth. I really want to bring back some of this grassroots recognition of how valuable we are as human beings.” Nielsen said inner beauty is one of the most important messages she tries to instill, and tells children that it can be found in their hearts. “I just think it’s about planting those seeds so they always know where to look for that.” The 40-year-old admitted “it’s hard to look 18 forever,” and said she has been developing a character that will last. She is working on her own original princess, Harmony, who comes from the land of music. Nielsen said she wants to

illustrate and publish a story, write and record songs and produce a stage show around the character. She is also looking to establish an online panel of parents who could suggest issues to address with Harmony’s potential audience. “Say the consensus is bullying, then I would write a song and put that into the show,” she said. “Really, through that, I could teach so much and educate at the same time.” While Nielsen would like to see Harmony’s CD completed within a year, she has run into some obstacles with the copy-righted character, such as what colours the princess will wear. “Colour identification is really important to the kids. I’ve been trying to lock in on a colour that hasn’t been taken,” she laughed. For Nielsen to know she is making a difference in little girls’ lives, she need only look to the numerous cards she receives from admirers. Some include crayoned drawings, while others are inscribed with heartfelt messages. “You don’t know what a smile or one ‘I love you’ can do for someone,” Nielsen said while flipping through the handmade notes – all of which she keeps. “I know it sounds small, but it really can be big.”

Pebble ride raises $7,000 This week’s inaugural Pebble Pedal to the Pier raised more than $7,000 for Sources Community Resource Centre. The event saw cyclists ride from Crescent Beach to the White Rock Pier Tuesday afternoon. On the journey, riders carried with them 1,000 pebbles, fulfilling a prophecy which – according to a British legend – promises good luck and good health. The pebbles were inscribed with inspirational words, and sold to raise the funds. Among those taking part were a handful of familiar faces, including a TV personality, former NHL player (and current co-owner of the Surrey Eagles Junior A Hockey

Peninsula resident to help in Cambodia A Peninsula resident is among a group of 35 people travelling to Cambodia this fall to help build 20 houses in a small village. Denice Thompson will spend two weeks in the Southeast Asian country starting Nov. 19, and along with the others taking part in the Tabitha Foundation project, is working hard to raise $20,000 to cover the costs of building supplies.

“All the money we’re going to raise goes towards building materials for the house,” Thompson said. “Any funds that are raised above and beyond the $20,000 will go towards clean drinking water or any other infrastructure that the village needs.” Thompson and her fellow volunteers are holding a fundraiser Sept. 30 at Vancouver’s Cedar Cottage Neighbourhood Pub,

3728 Clark Dr. A 50/50 draw will take place as well as a silent auction for a number of items, including signed, limited edition lithographs of Bobby Orr, Roberto Luongo and Trevor Linden, four tickets to a Seattle Seahawks game and more. Tickets are $20 and include a beer, burger and salad, and are available by calling Thompson at 604-717-2503.

Marjorie Sanders recognized for major milestone

Celebrating 100 years Surrounded by family and friends – some of whom came all the way from the U.K. – the Peninsula’s Marjorie Sanders celebrated her 100th birthday earlier this month. The festivities took place at the clubhouse of Nico-Wynd Golf Course Sept. 8, exactly 100 years to the day Edith Marjorie Drucilla Heapy was born in England. Her son, Peter Sanders, along with her daughter, Lorna Clegg, spoke about their mother’s early days in England, where she lived through the First World War, the roaring ’20s, the Great Depression and the Second World War. At the age of 16, Sanders took a job at the post office where she would stay for more than 10 years. She met her future husband, Charles Sanders, who also worked at the post office, in 1930. However, the two didn’t wed until 1937 because of a post-office rule that prohibited married women from being employed. Her son and daughter were born in 1940 and 1943, respectively, and after both her children moved to Canada in the ‘60s, Sanders and her husband relocated to Cloverdale in 1973. For the past 37 years, Sanders has

Meet Surrey’s finest Frontline police officers and the people who work with them to make Surrey a safer place were recognized for their innovation, commitment and perseverance Wednesday night. Awards in eight categories were presented during the 14th annual Surrey Board of Trade Police Officer of the Year gala at the Sheraton Vancouver Guildford Hotel. Police Officer of the Year (as nominated by the community) went to Const. Johanna Robinson, who is responsible for the selection of Surrey’s police cadets at the Lower Mainland Youth Academy, the annual nine-day program that gives Grade 11 and 12 students a taste of police training. Police Officer of The Year (as nominated by fellow officers) went to Const. Shawn Teichrieb. Teichrieb, once a sickly child himself, launched Operation Teddy Bear in 2008 to help kids at Canuck Place and B.C. Children’s Hospital. Every year, he’s raised more money, allowing the addition of a third organization to his list, Ronald McDonald House. The Arnold Silzer Community Policing Initiative award was won by Const. Lance Flintoff and police service dog Gerry. Since 2005, the two have been respon-

sible for the arrests of 100 suspects. Auxiliary Constable of the Year went to Const. Terry Robertson, who has 25 years of service to his credit. Robertson is known for assisting new auxiliary recruits with their indoctrination into the program. The Police Team award as chosen by Surrey officers, employees and volunteers went to the Auto Theft Target Team. Between 2004 and 2009 the team has helped cut Surrey’s auto theft rate by almost one-half. Municipal/Civilian Employee of the Year went to Amber Currie, the sole support worker for the Surrey RCMP Domestic Violence Unit which investigates high-risk cases and offers support for victims going through the court process. Curries handles over 30 clients at a time, providing emotional and practical support to the victims that includes going with them to appointments and court dates. Volunteer of the Year was Guneet Pannu, who has worked the last two years at the Newton District 3 Community Police Station. The Police And Business Partnership award went to ICBC’s Jacki Tokaryk and Operation Lock Up.

My husband died when I was 62 and after a long time I became lonely and became fond of a man who I met at a seniors’ recreation facility. We became a “couple.” My children learned of this relationship and were appalled and hired a lawyer to prepare an agreement that my friend would not make a claim against my estate when I died. My will gave my whole estate to my children. My friend was intimidated by my oldest daughter and signed it without getting legal advice. I invited him to move in with me and as my health has deteriorated over the last eight years, he has been a saint, and really looked after me. My oldest daughter is still angry over our relationship and I am intimidated by her as well. Can my man make a claim against my estate when I die?

Yes. While the agreement is a factor to be considered, the Wills Variation Act provides that the Court may alter your will to provide for your common-law spouse. NEW CLIENTS WELCOME

The children’s singer/storyteller – known off-stage as Robert Stelmach – is getting ready to head to Colombia on Oct. 14, where he will spend four weeks performing for young audiences at international schools. It’s not the first time Stelmach has taken his show to Latin America – last fall, he spent three weeks in Brazil under contract with Dream On Productions, the same group he’s traveling with this year.

Service could take passengers from Chilliwack to Surrey quickly: report

Light rail for Valley mulled

A new Chilliwack-to-Surrey light rail line could whisk passengers from deep in the Fraser Valley to the existing SkyTrain system in 90 minutes, according to a new study commissioned by groups campaigning for the project. The report, by U.K.-based consultant David Cockle on behalf of Rail For The Valley, estimates an initial service running every 20 to 30 minutes on existing tracks could be launched with dieselelectric trains for $492 million. It could be later upgraded to a no-emission electric system for a further $115 million. Cockle called the proposal “very viable” with trains running 80 to 100 km/h between 18 stops along the 98-kilometre route. The line would fulfill a longheld dream to reinstate a modern version of the B.C. Electric interurban rail service to Chilliwack that was shut down 60 years ago. “When the Fraser Valley passenger service was suspended in 1950 there were less than 80,000 people living throughout the Valley,” Cockle said. “Today, one million people live in Valley communities, with 1.5 million projected by 2031.” Rail For The Valley spokesman John Vissers said concerns

A proposed light-rail system for the Fraser Valley would take passengers from Chilliwack to Surrey in 90 minutes, says a report. about air quality, climate change and rising gas prices are fuelling demand for an alternative to driving long distances. “We can now prove from an engineering and marketing perspective that you can run light rail at speeds comparable to driving your car from community to community across the Fraser Valley,” Vissers said. “We want our train back.”

Neither the province nor TransLink has so far shown much interest in using the historic corridor, both in the past citing concerns transit service could interfere with freight hauling and that other potential rapid transit routes in the Valley might serve more people. Advocates like Vissers note the price tag is a big advantage com� see page 27

Passing loops would allow freight and passenger trains to pass, but Cockle’s study assumes most freight trains would be required to run at night only. “You don’t have to do any major

promised strategic review of Fraser Valley transit expansion options, including the existing rail corridor. A transportation ministry spokesman said the findings could be released this fall. TransLink previously estimated it would cost at $360 to $700 million to create a passenger rail service as far as Langley on the interurban corridor, although the City of Surrey estimated a shorter route as far as Cloverdale could be launched for as little as $110 million. Several area mayors are lobbying for light rail rather than SkyTrain technology for any rapid transit extension through Surrey to ensure a broader reach of the service.

track reconstruction,” Rail For the Valley researcher Malcolm Johnston said. He said there’s potential to use tram-trains that could operate on both the existing rail corridor through the valley plus possible new tram routes within local cities. That would open up the potential for the same rail cars to turn off and head along King George Boulevard in Surrey someday, or up 200 Street from Langley to Maple Ridge. “It’s do-able,” Johnston said. “It just takes political will.” Advocates will plead their case with local cities, TransLink and provincial government officials in the weeks ahead. Meanwhile, the provincial government continues to keep the lid on the results of its own long-

� from page 26 pared to building all-new tracks – especially when stacked against pricier SkyTrain technology. The study estimates the cost of a phase one startup at just $5 million per kilometre, compared to the almost $130 million per kilometre it will cost to build the $1.4-billion 11-kilometre Evergreen Line to Coquitlam. They also argue the province’s retention of free passenger rights on the corridor ensures railways cannot simply deny the dream out of concern they might make less money due to slowed freight service. “BC Hydro wisely retained the rights to passenger service and now we have an opportunity to capitalize on that,” Vissers said. The proposed route includes 10 main stations and eight more basic

Cohen commission urged to probe habitat destruction

Lower river dead to salmon Jeff Nagel Black Press

Optimism for the future of the Fraser River’s iconic salmon was in short supply at a public forum of the Cohen Commission in New Westminster this week. Many of the 60 participants predicted this summer’s record sockeye run will prove a flash in the pan, giving way to further stock declines. Several speakers told inquiry head Bruce Cohen Monday that they believe much of the fishery’s trouble stems from habitat destruction through industrialization of the lower river, particularly the north arm between Richmond and Vancouver that some said seems dead to salmon. “There’s something terribly wrong here,” retired fisherman Terry Slack said, noting development covers most of the banks of those channels. Slack also pointed to Metro Vancouver’s sewage treatment plants, which pump “a river of effluent” out every day, hurting juvenile salmon. “We have to get these plants to clean up,” he said. Musqueam Band language coordinator Victor Guerin said the estuary is now almost devoid of salt marshes that serve as habitat for birds and juvenile salmon. He questioned the government’s “slippery” policy of no net habitat loss when developing major projects and others protested the loss of salmon streams to the construction of the South Fraser Perimeter Road. Port Coquitlam watershed stewardship volunteer Laura Dupont said the Gateway program represents the paving of the Lower Mainland “from stem to stern” and called the province’s environmental assessments for such projects a “sham.” Other speakers said past recommendations to switch fish farms to closed containment should have been followed and the province should rethink its

Surrey actor and playwright Lorne Jones presents his idea for a Meerkat Manor-style TV show that personalizes migrating salmon. strategy of generating power with run-of-river hydroelectric projects. Bob Rezansoff, a seine boat owner from Delta, criticized the federal fisheries department’s management, predicting this year’s huge but largely uncaught run will mean tremendous overcrowding on the spawning grounds and weakened runs four years from now. “The pendulum has swung too far in the direction of conservation for conservation’s sake,” he said. He said the trend towards drought in the Interior means salmon must get priority for water in their spawning grounds ahead of agriculture. “Society has to decide what is more important – a second crop of irrigated hay or the survival of the salmon,” Rezansoff said. Port Coquitlam Coun. and commercial gillnetter Mike Forrest was one of those who alluded to long-held concerns in the industry of unreported aboriginal catches. Accurate catch reporting is critical to the survival of the stocks, he said. “We need to know how many fish are taken out of that river,” Forrest said. Maple Ridge gillnetter Darrel McEachern championed the concept of individual

transferrable quotas. Gillnetters unable to fish when scarce coho are coming in could sell their sockeye quota to a seiner or troller further offshore who could catch the sockeye on their behalf, he suggested. Such a system would be more cooperative, accountable and safer than the current “derby-style” fishery with long competitive openings, he added. McEachern said an estimated 1.5 million sockeye, worth about $7.5 million, were “wasted” because gillnetters were ordered off the river to protect coho. “Those fish are on their way to the Shuswap where they won’t do any good and may do more harm than good.” Surrey actor and playwright Lorne Jones called for the creation of a new industry – “fish watching” – using hightech cameras dangled into the water. He envisioned a Meerkat Manor-style TV reality show that records and personalizes individual salmon, which he said would become “heroes” and ultimately compel us to care more about their plight. Another public forum is slated for Sept. 29 in Chilliwack and the commission begins detailed hearings Oct. 25 in Vancouver. For more information see www.cohencommission.ca

A Burnaby man has been sentenced to 2½ years in jail for selling forged transit passes in Surrey that may cost TransLink up to $250,000 in lost revenue. Mathew Stuthard, 26, pleaded guilty to two fraud and forgeryrelated charges in connection with the sale of fake annual passes normally issued by the B.C. ministry of social services that give unlimited transit service to special needs clients. Plainclothes Transit Police officers arrested Stuthard in May near Surrey Central SkyTrain station after receiving a tip. A search of his Burnaby home turned up counterfeit money, computer equipment for forging transit passes, forged Alberta driver’s licences, retail credit and gift cards, government identification and other evidence of identity theft. “This is the biggest file we’ve had of this nature,” Transit Police Const. Jim Biring said. Dozens if not hundreds of passes are thought to have changed hands.

Gunfire at Gill house Dan Ferguson

CITY NEWS

Black Press

Someone fired several shots at the home of a relative of Surrey Coun. Tom Gill early Monday morning. Radio India owner Maninder Singh Gill, 47, told one of his employees that he heard more than 10 gunshots. “He said it was a heavy firing,” said Gurpreet Singh, a Radio India staffer who spoke to Maninder after the incident. Bullets hit the living room and dining areas in the front of the Panorama Ridge home, Gill told Singh. No one was injured. Maninder operates Radio India, a Surreybased station that broadcasts ethniclanguage programming to South Asian listeners from a transmitter in Washington State. He is facing trial in connection with an Aug. 28 shooting in the parking lot of the Guru Nanak Sikh Temple in Surrey. Maninder is charged with eight criminal offences, including multiple counts of pointing a firearm, possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose, unauthorized possession of a firearm, discharging a firearm

Harjit Atwal suffered what police described as a non-lifethreatening injury to his upper thigh after some men got into an argument in the temple parking lot while a wedding was underway. The injured man was one of three people suing Gill for defamation and libel over a series of comments that aired on Radio India. Maninder later turned himself in to Surrey RCMP. He nearly died a couple of days ago from a knife wound he received during the

The infection spread close to his heart and nearly killed him, the Surrey councillor said this week. Coun. Gill said the family of his motherin-law’s younger brother – whom he considers an uncle – is rattled. “Has he been shaken? Damn rights, he’s been shaken,” said Coun. Gill, adding that Maninder isn’t frightened. “He’s a tough cookie.” Coun.

Contempt hearing for dairy farmer Jeff Nagel Black Press

Public health officials are still trying to stop the flow of unpasteurized raw milk from a Chilliwack dairy farm to its 450 cow-share members across the Lower Mainland. Home On The Range dairy operator Alice Jongerden faces a contempt of court hearing over allegations she’s violating a B.C. Supreme Court injunction issued in March banning any further distribution of raw milk. Selling unpasteurized milk is illegal, but the cow-sharing co-op members claim they don’t buy the milk – they jointly own the cows and merely collect liquid dividends. The B.C. Supreme Court ruling in March found Jongerden was “willingly causing a health hazard” and banned distribution or packaging of milk or related products for human consumption. Jongerden said milk continues to flow but containers are now labelled “not for human consumption” to comply with the court order. Fraser Health Authority officials don’t accept her logic. “You can put a label on something but if the intent is still for human consumption, that’s a violation of the court order,” health authority spokesperson Roy Thorpe said. Environmental health officers raided the farm July 9 to gather evidence. “The operator continued to distribute raw milk,” Thorpe said. “We believe the

Advocates claim raw milk conveys probiotic and other health benefits absent from pasteurized milk. They hope to ultimately legalize raw milk production and distribution, which is allowed in several U.S. states. B.C. health officials maintain drinking raw milk brings a serious risk of bacterial infection and illness.

The Public Health Act defines raw milk as a health hazard. Thorpe said there have been 27 documented outbreaks of illness related to raw milk across North America over the past nine years. Jongerden has accused Fraser Health employees of tampering with samples of seized milk to fabricate test results showing high fecal colliform counts from Home On The Range milk.

urrey is not New York. Nor is King George Boulevard much like Broadway. However, the main stage at the Surrey Arts Centre might be mistaken for a theatre on the Big Apple’s famous strip next weekend when some of the best show tunes of all time are brought to life by a handful of the top performers in the Lower Mainland. A Night on Broadway will feature well-known songs from hit musicals such as Kiss Me Kate, Oklahoma, The Sound of Music, The King and I, Showboat, Les Misérables and South Pacific. The musical theatre event, organized by Surrey-based singers Christopher Simmons and Debra DaVaughn, is a fundraising event for the Surrey Food Bank. This is the fourth charitable concert the couple has presented.

Boaz Joseph photo

In past years, the concerts have been focused on opera music – where much of their training and expertise lies. Simmons is one of the most sought-after lyric tenors in B.C. who is regularly seen on the opera, symphony and music theatre stage, while soprano DaVaughn’s music theatre, opera and operetta performances are

highly acclaimed. But instead of presenting an opera-only show, they decided to re-tool things this year. “We got tremendous feedback on the opera. Folks really seemed to enjoy it,” said Simmons. “But we felt we wanted to reach a broader audience and we know that music theatre is a bit more accessible than opera. The ultimate goal that

we’ve got is really to raise as much money as we can for the food bank.” The pair quickly assembled a top-notch lineup for the show – and they didn’t have to look far for talent. First on their list to call was jazz and classical vocalist Tamara Croft, whose resumé includes an array of theatre and operatic roles,

as well as being a member of the group 3 Broads and a Baritone. DaVaughn and Simmons were thrilled to welcome her aboard. “She’s the most generous, loving, gregarious person. And has a voice that’s to die for,” said DaVaughn. Requests then went out to award-winning performers Cathy Wilmot and Arne Larsen, who, although they’ve graced many a stage, may be best recognized locally for their involvement with Fraser Valley Gilbert & Sullivan Society productions in recent years. “Cathy and Arne are staples here in the Surrey area,” DaVaughn said. “Their names are wellknown… not just in Surrey either, but all over the Lower Mainland.” In addition to a healthy mix of pieces from popular and classic musicals, the fundraising performance will also feature a variety of more modern and perhaps lesser-known song selections. “We sort of got to cherry pick,” said Simmons. “We chose things that are familiar, that people love – and then some things that we just think are fantastic that they may have never heard of.” Those include selections from Wicked, I Love You, You’re � see page 40

Band’s latest album reflects ‘redemptive’ mood Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

Erin Cebula, Spokesperson

While they’ve been a familiar sight around Peninsula festivals, coffee shops and bars for several years, members of Token Rhyme have a new accomplishment they’re preparing to celebrate – their debut album. The six-member folk-rock band will officially release their CD, entitled Nothing is Sacred, at a party Oct. 2 at the Crescent Beach Legion. After “kicking around the local scene” for five years playing various gigs – including appearances at the White Rock Farmers Market, Spirit of the Sea Festival and Canada Day by the Bay – the group hit the studio

last fall to begin the recording process. The result, according to guitarist/vocalist Sean Schonfeld, is an album that “reflects

accurately the dark, yet redemptive mood we were going for.” Sean shares songwriting duties with his wife and lead vocalist Tracy Schonfeld, with whom he has written and played with since the early days of the couple’s 20-year partnership. “We took a break for about 10 years to raise a family, but time has allowed us to get back to business,” Sean said. “She keeps the inspirational tap open, with books of lyrics and notes always on hand for when the music comes. Arrangement contributions from me and the group add to those templates.” It was at Ocean Park’s Crescent Moon CoffeeHouse that Sean met bassist James

Sanders, and later guitarist Will Firstbrook and madolinist/lap steel player John Laird, whom he would recruit for the band. After original drummer Allan Collins moved on to other musical ventures, Scott Young stepped in to fill the void after seeing the band play drummer-less at the White Rock Farmers Market. Rounding out the sound of Token Rhyme is local violinist Tina Kelly, who started playing with the group a few years ago. While the eight tracks on Nothing is Sacred are mainly songs written in the past few years, Tracy noted there are a few that date

Benefit concert proves timely � from page 39 Perfect, Now Change and Stephen Sondheim’s comedic conglomeration of fairy tales, Into The Woods. With accompaniment by Vancouver Opera pianist Angus Kellett, the line-up incorporates solos, duets and ensemble numbers. Special guests include Ginny Dunnill, a student of DaVaughn’s, and members of Surrey Youth Chorus, who will serve as the chorus for several of the numbers. Simmons and DaVaughn developed the fundraising

concert concept five years ago (there was no concert last year), with the intent to give back to a community that has provided them an abundance of support and generosity. The Surrey Food Bank showed great enthusiasm for the concept and was quickly chosen as the recipient of proceeds. The date in October couldn’t be more timely as it coincides with a time of year that the food bank shelves are most bare. In the three years of concerts, the pair estimates between $15,000-20,000 has been raised

really cool riff and chords to fit.” It wasn’t long after presenting the music along with the poem as lyrics to her band members that it evolved into a song. Before recording the track, Sean contacted McClure in San Francisco to obtain permission to use Berkley Song. “Mr. McClure was friendly, business-like and encouraged us to go ahead, saying, ‘send me a contract I can agree to,’” Sean recalled. “His phone call to me was the closest I’ve gotten to art royalty.” According to Tracy, securing the rights for Berkeley Song was “pivotal” in helping to create the

for the non-profit organization. “The other thing for us is helping to raise awareness in the community of the need of the food bank,” explains DaVaughn. A Night on Broadway runs Oct. 2 for two shows at 3:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. at the Surrey Arts Centre, 13750 88 Ave. Ticket sales benefit the Surrey Food Bank and food bank volunteers will be on hand collecting donations before and after the show. Tickets ($25 for adults, $20 for students and seniors) are available by calling 604-501-5566.

Token Rhyme excited to ‘cut loose’ � from page 39 back to her and Sean’s early days of songwriting together. One of the newer tracks to make the cut the group is particularly proud of – is based on a poem by American poet Michael McClure. The poem, Berkeley Song, has been a fixture on the wall of the Schonfeld residence for years, according to Tracy, who one day began experimenting with lines from the famous piece. “I was sitting there with my guitar, supposed to be doing homework because I was going to school at the time,” she explained. “And I was playing chords and singing the poem and finding a

theme of Nothing is Sacred. “Most of the songs revolve around the idea of what is sacred, and just sort of the loss of what’s sacred in society today,” she said. Token Rhyme looks forward to “cutting loose” at their upcoming CD release party, where Sean said they’ll be playing a mix of songs from the album, a few new tunes as well as “dipping into our bottomless bag of covers.” The show will be opened by local singer/songwriter Ross Jenkins, on loan from his band Their There. Tickets are $10 and are available at the legion, Tapestry Music and Surfside Music.

Since its formation more than a decade ago, the Crescent Beach Legion Pipe Band has not only grown in numbers but also in awards and accolades. The 16-member troupe was created in 2000, according to founding member Doug Milne, who was inspired to start a pipe band when he met fellow pipers at a Remembrance Day ceremony who noted they had nowhere to play. “It was an instant band we had,” Milne recalled, noting that of the original group, three pipers still play with the Crescent Beach band. The group has spent the last decade practising every Sunday, and performing Brian Giebelhaus photo at various ceremonies and parades The Crescent Beach Pipe Band, founded in 2000, has been having a banner year, throughout the Peninsula and other areas taking home numerous awards and performing at various venues. of the Fraser Valley.

A new concert series begins in Surrey this weekend, featuring a mix of professional artists and youth musicians. Created by Surrey musician and concert producer Jinhee Park, Ian Hampton, founding member of the Purcell String Quartet) and a handful of other music enthusiasts, the series opens Sept. 25 and continues with two other concerts in January and March. “We want to do this for the community,” said Park. “This is a great opportunity to meet with people, invest in our future by supporting young musicians, spend a quality time with family and friends while enjoying the wonderful live music.” The first concert, titled The Golden Violin, is billed as a multidimensional show with a fascinating story, colourful costumes and visual backdrops as Contributed photo the audience is taken Accomplished violinist on a journey through Calvin Dyck plays at Amsterdam, Paris and the first concert. Venice. The evening features accomplished violinist and Surrey City Orchestra concertmaster Calvin Dyck and pianist Betty Suderman.

One of B.C.’s most sought after cellists, Joel Stobbe, will close the three-part series on March 19 with a classical concert. He will be accompanied by a pianists and the student string chamber group. Each show takes place at St. Luke Lutheran Church, 10177 148 St. at 7:30 p.m. Tickets will be sold by subscription to all three concerts ($57 for adults, $52 for students and seniors).

Michael Zrymiak’s new novel inspired by military background

Author writes ‘techno-thriller’ Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

Nuclear warfare and the struggle of political forces are explored in a new novel by South Surrey author Michael Zrymiak, entitled Nukes on the 49th. After Canada reluctantly signs an anti-ballistic missile partnership with the U.S., tensions begin to rise between the neighbouring nations. Those tensions hit a tipping point when two American nuclear mishaps take place on Canadian soil, and out of spite, the prime minister launches a Canadian nuclear development program. Described by Zrymiak as a “techno-thriller,” Nukes was released earlier this summer and celebrated this week with a book launch at Zrymiak’s 20 Avenue complex. While Zrymiak notes his extensive military background – including more than 30 years in the Royal Canadian Air Force – was an inspirational force for the novel, his interest in nuclear Doug Shanks photo systems around the world was Michael Zrymiak recently published his novel Nukes on the 49th. what really sparked the idea Nukes on the 49th is seventh While Zrymiak will spend for the fictional Canada-U.S. book published by Zrymiak, some time promoting Nukes on showdown. whose previous work has ranged the 49th, which he hopes to have “Of course, the Canadianfrom collections of poetry and distributed throughout Canada, American relations is another photographs to political fiction he’s also well into a new novel issue that is constant, the and auto-biographies. tentatively called An Invisible fact that some Zrymiak’s selfShadow.

2 011 C O M M U N I T Y G R A N T S The City of Surrey is now accepting applications for 2011 financial grants from non-profit groups or organizations. What kinds of organizations are eligible? Organizations will normally be expected to: • have an active governing body composed of volunteers, with paid staff excluded from voting membership; • have stable, ongoing financial support; and • extend their service to the general public in Surrey, not excluding anyone by reason of race, religion or ethnic background. Who chooses the successful grant applications? City Council has established a Grants Evaluation Committee, consisting of four city staff members, to review all applications and make recommendations on grant payment priorities. The final decision on all grant applications is made by City Council. The Grants Evaluation Committee will review and recommend grant payments based on the following criteria: • The need for the project, the number of residents benefiting from the grant and the value to the community; • The absence of identifiable or competing services, programs or facilities in the community; • The cost per resident, funding sources and financial stability of the organization; • The effectiveness and quality of the proposed program, project or event; • The history of the organization, including past services and programs; and • The suitability for one-time only funding for specific programs, capital projects or special events. Grants will not normally be recommended for travel, operating deficits, or services that are the responsibility of other levels of government. Any organization which receives a grant should not view the grant as an automatic source of funding in the following years. An evaluation of the use of the Surrey grant must be submitted at the end of the program, project or event. When is the deadline for grant applications: All grants requests must be submitted on an official application form and received at the office of the City Clerk not later than 4:30 p.m., September 30, 2010. Application forms and additional information may be obtained by contacting: City of Surrey, Office of the City Clerk 14245 – 56 Avenue, Surrey, B.C.

Connor Brolin, 10, has been barefoot waterskiing since he was five years old. This summer, he was named to B.C.’s provincial barefoot team.

Young athlete puts best (bare) foot forward Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

rom fall to early spring, Connor Brolin is not unlike your average 10-year-old. He goes to school, does his homework, plays soccer, watches a little TV and probably even finds time to pester his little sister, Kennedy, too – only because that’s what 10-year-old older brothers do. But once summer appears on the horizon, and the temperature begins to warm, the White Rock Elementary student focuses his attention on a sport not as common with other athletes his age – or any age for that matter. He water-skis. Barefoot. Brolin first took up the sport at just five years old, in large part because

his father, Dave, is an accomplished water-skiier himself – both with skis and without. The Brolins spend a great deal of time in the summer at their cabin in B.C.’s Cariboo region, which gives the two plenty of practice time. “They’re out there on the water every single day,” said Connor’s mom, Kirsten. Connor said his interest in the sport piqued simply as a result of watching his dad on the water. “My dad just showed me one day, and I was interested and I felt like trying it,” Connor said. “It was pretty tough to start, and at first I didn’t really like it that much, but after awhile I got better, and then really started to like it. “It took me about two weeks before I could really do it without falling.”

He admitted to some early jitters, too. “At first it’s a little scary because you’re out there trying a new thing – especially when you first get out in deep water,” he said. Barefoot beginners start out learning the sport not by skiing behind the boat, but beside it – sitting in a boom that is attached to the side of the boat. “You can’t really fall, and it teaches you the proper position to be in, and techniques. You can also talk to the people in the boat, so you can get instruction,” Dave explained. From there, barefooters progress to skiing with a short rope – about five feet – which is attached to the boom. Once the skier is comfortable with that, they go behind the boat, eventually getting to the point where the

rope is 75 feet long. “That’s not how I learned. When I first started, there were no booms or anything – we use to just go out and try to stand up behind the boat,” Dave laughed. “No wetsuits, no anything – just hang on. We crashed a lot until we figured it out. It’s a lot safer now.” For adult skiers, the boat travels at least 40 km/h; for someone of Connor’s age and size, about 30 km/h is the norm. After five years of practice, Connor was finally able to master the 75-foot distance last summer, on a very last day of a barefoot water-ski camp at Mission’s Silvermere Lake. The accomplishment was enough to land Connor on the B.C. provincial barefoot team. At just 10 years old, � see page 49

Hockey League’s Coastal Conference – was ranked sixth in the Canadian Junior A Hockey League’s weekly rankings, which were released earlier this week. The Eagles lost on home ice Wednesday, 3-1 to the Trail Smoke Eaters. Eagles’ forward Richard Vanderhoek, who currently leads the BCHL in scoring with 15 points in six games, was also named the BCHL’s player of the week, after helping Surrey to three straight road wins last weekend. He scored the team’s lone goal Wednesday night, a power-play marker in the third period. “Richard really wanted to make an impact in the league this year, and he’s come in in great shape and has been great for us right since the first day of training camp,” Erhart said of his team’s alternate captain.

The Semiahmoo United Scorpions continued their successful season with a 4-1 victory over the Surrey Cougars last weekend at Morgan Elementary. Scorpions’ Bonnie Whitford opened the scoring for the home side, with a well-placed shot at the 11-minute mark, and Katherine Toy doubled the lead a short while later, when she blasted a shot over the Cougar goalkeepers’ head from close range. Semiahmoo’s defence – led by Raichel Feenan and Danika Cowie – held tight to keep the score 2-0, until Alexa Porpaczy notched a goal to make it 3-0. Whitford, with her second goal of the game, eventually made it 4-0 Semi, and the Cougars managed a goal in the game’s dying minutes to break the shutout.

Looye leads with six gold Swimmer Aart Looye led an impressive group of Peninsula athletes at the B.C. Senior Games last weekend in Comox. Competing for Zone 3 in the men’s 65-69 year-old division, Looye won gold in all six events he entered – 50 and 100-metre backstroke, as well as 50, 100, 400 and 800-m freestyle. Looye was far from the only podium finisher, however. White Rock’s Lino Bragagnolo won gold in bocce, in the men’s pairs 55-plus division, while South Surrey’s Umberto Ferraro captured gold in the men’s singles bocce tournament, and Maria D’Astolfo won silver in women’s singles. Additionally, the women’s

The White Rock slo-pitch softball team, called the Determinators, won silver in the 55-plus mixed division, while local pickleball teams picked up three gold medals and one silver in a

number of divisions. In addition to being part of a gold-medal winning doubles pickleball team, Wilfred Kramer also won gold in men’s single competition. South Surrey’s Alma Franklin won two medals, picking up silver in the 5,000 race-walk and gold in the 10-km road walk. In cycling, Sandra Olafson nearly matched Looye’s goldmedal totals, finishing atop the podium, in the women’s 70-74 division, in the hill climb, road race and time trials, while also winning the overall crown. In golf, Margaret Pybus won gold in the 65-69 division. For complete results, visit www.2010bcseniorgames.ca - Nick Greenizan

Barefoot learning curve a steep one � from page 45 Connor is by far the youngest member of the 10-person team; the age range goes from 10 to men in their late 40s. The team competes in a number of competitions – tournaments include slalom, tricks and jump categories. At provincials last summer at Sumas Slough, Connor – the youngest participant at the event, and the only one in his age group – won gold in tricks, slalom and best overall. He did not compete in the jumps competition.

“He’s not quite ready for jumps, he needs just a bit more experience and time on his feet still,” Dave said. As the youngest member of the provincial team, Connor has soaked up plenty of tips from his fellow skiiers, many of whom have decades of experience. “They’ll tell me to bend my knees more, or keep my elbows straight – stuff like that. The toughest part is just getting up,” he said. In addition to the advice from his dad and his older teammates, Connor has also received plenty

of instruction from David Small – a English barefooter who runs the World Barefoot Center in Florida – Aldergrove’s Blackmore family, and Richard Gray, the head of the World Federation of Barefoot Waterskiiers, who also happens to be a family friend of the Brolins. And though he’s progressed quickly, the learning curve is still a steep – and potentially painful one – for Connor. “Well, when I was in provincials, I kept doing face plants,” he said. “But it’s nothing serious yet… sore muscles mostly.”

HAPPY THOUGHTS Happy 100th Birthday Auntie Rene!!

MOORE, Ruth Caroline Mary (nee Belcher) passed peacefully out of this life on July 3rd, 2010 at The Al Hogg wing of Peace Arch Hospital. She was 87 years old. Ruth was predeceased by her friend and companion of 55 years, Elizabeth Ross and her two beloved brothers, Claude and Clare Belcher. Ruth is survived by her many nieces and nephews and their families. Jean Pinto (nee Belcher) of Grand Forks, Melanie Davis (nee Belcher) of Victoria, Brian Belcher of Victoria. She is also survived by many great nieces and nephews, who will all miss her dearly. Ruth was born in Kelliher Saskatchewan on December 30, 1922. She was the youngest child of Elizabeth Mary Dee and Alfred Belcher. When Ruth was in her early teens the family moved to Victoria B.C. Her father worked for the postal service and her mother baked wonderful bread in her home to earn the extra money needed during the depression. When the WW11 came, Ruth enlisted in the Canadian Air Force. She served with pride as an Aircraftswoman 1st Class, and was the recipient of a Canadian Volunteer Service Medal. She had a wonderful combination of beauty and brains, and was chosen to leave her desk and travel about B.C. on behalf of the Air Force recruiting office. She was a model many times for Air Force recruiting posters. In the early 1950’s, encouraged by her brothers Claude and Clare, Ruth sat for her Real Estate Board exams and became a certified agent at a time when there were few women in that profession. She had a long and successful career in Real Estate with H.A. Roberts Real Estate Co. of Vancouver. Ruth and her companion Betty were dearly loved in the community. They had a home in Burnaby for many years before they retired to White Rock. They were summer residents in their recreation trailer at Birch Bay, Wa. Both were enthusiastic gardeners. Ruth was justifiably famous for her collection of begonias she saved in her greenhouse and set out each year. They traveled the world together, golfed, doggy walked, and spent most summers on the beach. Their many nieces and nephews loved to go and visit `the Aunties’ where there was always Ginger Ale in fancy glasses, accompanied by cake and chocolates. Even though Ruth was bedridden during her last days in Peace Arch hospital, she was always remarkable cheerful. Conversations with her were always uplifting. She appreciated her nurses and her family and said she was happy because people took such good care of her. We will miss our dear Aunty Ruth very much. No service by request. Donations in lieu of flowers can be made to the Canadian Veterans Association.
