Nomination endorsed as UBCM president, says former BC Liberal candidate
Steele under fire over Campbell honour Kevin Diakiw Black Press
Barbara Steele
A Surrey councillor is under fire for endorsing the Order of B.C. nomination for former premier Gordon Campbell. Surrey Coun. Barbara Steele is the president of the UBCM (Union of B.C. Municipalities) and, as such, was part of the team choosing which nominees received the honour.
Steele ran for Campbell’s BC Liberals in Surrey-Whalley in the 2005 provincial election, losing to the NDP’s Bruce Ralston. In calling for nominations for B.C.’s highest honour, Lt.-Gov. Steven Point said in January “it avails us the opportunity to publicly recognize the good works of those in our communities who have gone above and beyond in their
efforts to make all our lives better.” By March 10, there were 179 nominations. Fourteen of those were selected as winners, including Campbell, who resigned in the wake of the reviled Harmonized Sales Tax. The fact that he was included continues to cause a public uproar. As of Monday, a Facebook site titled “Gordon Campbell does not deserve
the Order of BC award” had more than 5,200 people “liking” it. The nominations were received by an advisory committee headed by the Chief Justice of the B.C. Court of Appeal, the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, the president of a B.C. university, an associate deputy minister, two previous Order of B.C. recipients and Steele. � see page 4

Criminal charges ruled out, so authorities investigate civil action
Police want young speeders to forfeit luxury cars Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
After impounding 13 luxury cars that were reportedly street-racing into South Surrey two weeks ago, police are hopeful at least some of the vehicles will never be returned to their owners.
“We recommended that all 13 be made subject to civil forfeiture,” RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks confirmed Thursday. “I don’t think that all 13 met the criteria.” Police announced Thursday afternoon that they had provided details of the Aug. 31 incident to
the Federal Integrated Proceeds of Crime Section and, subsequently, to the BC Civil Forfeiture Office, after investigation determined there was not enough evidence to proceed with criminal charges. The cars – some with novicedriver ‘N’s in their rear windows
– had been impounded for seven days, and their drivers fined $196 each, after police fielded numerous calls regarding excessive speed and dangerous driving southbound on Highway 99 at the start of rush hour, around 3 p.m. Six of the vehicles were pulled over
in South Surrey, the other seven in White Rock. They included a Ferrari, two Maserati Turismos, three Lamborghini Gallardos, an Audi R8, three Nissan GT-Rs, a Mercedes SL63, a Mercedes SLS and an Aston Martin DB9. � see page 4

Up to $100,000 raised for Firefighters Charitable Foundation
Hundreds attend mayor’s charity gala About 700 people attended this year’s Mayor’s Charity Ball Friday night at the 104 Avenue Centre, raising funds for the Surrey Firefighters Charitable Foundation. One of the highlights of the gala was a draw for a $10,000 diamond ring. Mayor Dianne Watts drew the winning ticket, and her husband won. Watts said her family couldn’t accept, and drew another name – this time, Coun. Barinder Rasode, who also declined. Third time lucky, a woman with no apparent local political ties, who indicated she

amount of time on her feet, which she felt the next day. “It was a wonderful event, and a lot of people came out in support the firefighters’ charitable foundation,” Watts said afterward. “It’s always nice when the community can come together like that.” A full tally hadn’t been completed by Monday afternoon, but Watts estimates between $75,000 and $100,000 will go to the Surrey Firefighters Charitable Foundation, which supports more than 80 local charities and organizations. – Black Press

Canine scabies the likely culprit for staff ailment that cancels Crescent Park charity event
Mysterious rashes close SPCA office Kevin Diakiw & Nick Greenizan Black Press
Evan Seal photo
SPCA employees arrive at work Thursday.
The Surrey SPCA was still closed to the public Monday due to “an unidentified staff illness.” Six employees at the shelter were sent home Wednesday with an unknown ailment that caused rashes on their arms. The next day, a handful of SPCA employees worked in blue protective coveralls and face masks at the facility, located on 152 Street near 67 Avenue. The health scare cancelled the SPCA’s Paws for a Cause event – which raises funds for
abused and homeless pets – scheduled Sunday in Crescent Park. “We deliberated and tried to find a way to make it work, but in the end, this was just the right decision. It’s very unfortunate,” said SPCA event co-ordinator Andrea Lewis. Lewis said participants were encouraged to attend events in neighbouring communities. At present, the rashes appear to be caused by some kind of parasite, according to an official with the Fraser Health Authority. Bob Busch, the general manager for the BCSPCA, said he’s been told the rashes are likely the result of sarcoptic mange, some-
times referred to as canine scabies. It is caused by a parasitic mite that burrows into the skin causing intense itch and potential for infection. As of Monday, Busch said there has been no exact determination of what caused the rashes, adding he’s expecting lab results soon. “It’s very frustrating,” Busch said, adding the employees affected are at home and not in any type of quarantine. Staff working in protective gear Thursday said they had no idea as to the origin of the illness, but all symptoms of the employees were the same – red rashes on their arms.
White Rock politics
Ex-manager knocks job’s new wages Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
A former city manager who is taking a run at White Rock politics is criticizing current council members for “exceedingly generous” compensation packages given to two senior staff. In an email to Peace Arch News, Wayne Baldwin says financial statements show the current city manager, Peggy Clark, went from being paid $140,000 when she was hired in 2006 to receiving $194,535 in 2010 – an increase he describes as “totally beyond all reason.” The director of engineering and municipal operations, Rob Thompson, was also “grossly overpaid,” Baldwin claims, citing statements that show Thompson received $182,883 in 2010, for 10 months’ work. According to his employment agreement, Thompson was hired on a two-year contract that expires June 29, 2012, at an hourly rate of $115.57, plus in-lieu earnings. “That, to me, is just off the map,” Baldwin said in a phone interview. “He’s getting paid as much as the city manager for Surrey.” Mayor Catherine Ferguson noted the city manager’s compensation is reviewed approximately every four years, and is determined through a process that has been in place for at least 14 years, which includes comparing the rate with those in nine other similar-sized cities. The recommended rate is based on the medium of the lot, and annual increases are based on rates set by the Canadian Union of Public Employees, she added. “There’s safeguards put in place, there’s a process in place and there’s standards and benchmarks,” she said. “What’s very important to me is that we’re being very careful with the taxpayers’ dollars.” Compensation to the director of engineering and municipal operations is determined by the city manager, Ferguson noted. Clark declined to comment, other than to say the compensation “clearly… is in line with what other municipalities are being paid.” “It’s fair and equitable,” she said. Thompson could not be reached for comment.

Steve Robinson sits at Crescent Beach watching O.Z, the daughter of his dog, Echo (below), who died Aug. 24 – “I keep wanting to call her Echo.”
Homeless man talks of reaction to his story
The fallout from his search for shelter Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Steve Robinson has had it with homelessness. After a couple of months sleeping on benches, behind a White Rock shopping centre or in empty rental homes he’s been hired to renovate, Robinson has his eye on an apartment. “I have the funds,” he told Peace Arch News. “I haven’t bottle-picked in three weeks.” But without his canine best friend, the thought of curling up in his fifth-wheel trailer – now in storage – has become inconceivable. Echo, who had been with Robinson since she was a puppy, died by his side Aug. 24, under a tree in the yard of a Crescent Beach home. She was almost 12. “I don’t want an apartment,” Robinson says. “(But) now, my trailer’s ugly to me because I don’t have my dog. That dog… was my life.” Robinson said in a recent interview that both good and bad things have happened since he first shared his story with the community, in PAN’s July 21 issue. He received more than 100 pounds of dog food, but was also told the loading dock area where he slept was going to be caged off. He’s banned from a local liquor store, but found work renovating rental homes. “I was treated very well by the public.” Robinson doesn’t speak as well of the police, who, he claims, regularly ‘roust’ the homeless in an attempt to push them out of White Rock. Authorities dispute the claim, but Robinson
said the situation has “gotten worse and worse and worse” since the article appeared. He said he has been arrested three times for being drunk in public – and only once with justification. “One time I was (drunk), I gotta admit,” he said. “The day after Echo died.” White Rock Staff Sgt. Lesli Roseberry says her officers have not been directed to target the homeless, although they do respond when the public raise complaints. “We have no strategy in place for homelessness,” Roseberry said. “We don’t go and move them along.” Const. Janelle Shoihet, who sits on the Peninsula Homeless to Housing Round Table, agreed there hasn’t been enforcement targeting the homeless. Records show a decline in the number of interactions police have had with Robinson, she noted, from seven in June to three in both July and August. White Rock residents are vigilant, she noted, about reporting anything out of the ordinary. “It’s a small community, so homeless people would stand out. There’s a different expectation of people in South Surrey/White Rock.” Robinson told PAN in July that he believes every municipality should have facilities for
its homeless, and criticized White Rock as falling short. He said he has been fortunate in recent weeks – he’s been able to stay in homes he is renovating while he works. He plans to get an apartment with his girlfriend in the near future. But he’s still determined to have his concerns heard by White Rock officials. Multiple calls requesting a meeting with Mayor Catherine Ferguson have gone unreturned, he said. Ferguson told PAN this week she hadn’t received any messages. “If he wanted to meet with me, I’d have no problem. If there’s any way that we can help him…” Ferguson said affordable housing isn’t an option “at this point in time.” And a compassion park, with shower and sleep facilities, isn’t the answer, either. “There is no easy solution,” she said, adding she looked to the federal and provincial governments for a homeless strategy. “In the meantime, we’re doing our best.” For Robinson, the days ahead are about giving Echo a proper farewell. He plans to spread Echo’s ashes in the same area of Crescent Beach where he sprinkled his mother’s ashes many years ago, not far from the small blue house where he grew up.

Councillor accused of ‘cronyism’ � from page 1 Stephanie Ryan, who plans to run for council this year with the Surrey Civic Coalition, says Steele is out of touch with her constituents by endorsing the Campbell nomination. Campbell, she said, has not been kind to Surrey, and she charges that Steele “is putting political cronyism ahead of what her constituents in Surrey would want.” “Since Campbell’s appointment is so controversial, Coun. Steele owes the voters of Surrey an explanation as to why she went along with this decision,” Ryan said. On Thursday, Steele declined to take Ryan up on that offer. Steele said Campbell’s nomina-
tion was above board, and she referred to an announcement made by Chief Justice Lance Finch, who noted the Campbell nomination was in keeping with legislation because he won’t be in office when the awards are presented Oct. 4. The deadline for nominations was March 10; Campbell stepped down as premier March 14. When asked about the optics of a former BC Liberal candidate accepting his nomination, Steele said she was acting as president of the UBCM. Steele said the spokesman for the panel is the chief justice and referred all comments to him. Regarding Ryan’s allegations, she said they are just one person’s
opinion. “I don’t have a response to it,” Steele said. “No comment.” Other winners of the 2011 Order of B.C. include: Ken Dobell, former Vancouver city manager and Campbell’s deputy minister; David Emerson, former senior B.C. bureaucrat and federal cabinet minister; Luigi Aquilini, owner of the Vancouver Canucks; Peter Norman Baird, public servant; Crystal Dunahee, child-safety advocate; Tim Jones, searchand-rescue leader; Dr. Phil Muir, physician; Jim O’Rourke, mining engineer; Karen O’Shannacery, homeless advocate; Baljit Sethi, immigrant advocate; Ellen White, native educator; and Jim Robson, the “voice of hockey.”

9-11 victims remembered at Peace Arch Park A handful of first responders from New York joined hundreds of their Canadian peers at Peace Arch Park Sunday to pay tribute to those who died in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. In a sombre ceremony, police, firefighters and paramedics – and a few civilians – gathered for the morning event. The majority arrived by motorcycle, as part of the 9-11 Memorial Ride to the Peace Arch, which set off from the River Rock Casino in Richmond around 8 a.m. Fire trucks that participated flew American and Canadian flags along the Highway 99 route. While speakers at the park described a “horrible” scene, the likes of which most people have only viewed in movies, none who were in New York the day planes were flown into the World Trade Centre towers spoke of specific memories. The tribute, organized by former Ladner
described his memories of the attack to the crowd.

He wanted a way to respect and honour those who died, Morrall told Black Press in an earlier interview. Attendees Sunday said the convoy of motorcyclists and arriving at the park was impressive, and the emotion witnessed – from tears
to extended hugs – was “tremendously moving.” While many emergency responders were told there wasn’t room for them at the Ground Zero ceremony, as victims’ families were given priority, four men representing New York’s Port Authority, police and fire departments said they were glad to be at the Peace Arch event. “Being here is an honour,” said New York firefighter John Rugen after he briefly

Happy ending really a new beginning
T
he smiles on the faces of parents Tammy and Paul Hebert said it all. Pure bliss, after the emotional turmoil they had experienced since their three-yearold, Kienan, was abducted from his home in Sparwood, B.C. in the middle of last week. And every compassionate person who had heard their story must breathe a sigh of relief, grateful that so many prayers, so much official and volunteer searching, and so much general concern has been rewarded by the safe return of their son in the early hours of Sunday morning. But while we can all allow ourselves time for rejoicing that this case, at least, did not go the sad way of so many others, many disturbing questions linger. Just how does a toddler – one of a family of eight children – get spirited away from his home in the first place? More importantly, how does he get spirited back to a house, which, as the scene of the original crime, should be a continued focus of authorities’ attention? And, if the return of the boy was “facilitated” by the RCMP, to quote the word they used in statements released Monday, how was the perpetrator subsequently able to slip away undetected through a security cordon? Questionable, too, is the fact that, while B.C. had an Amber Alert in place, only a limited Amber Alert was ever issued in Alberta, just 15 or 20 minutes drive away from the area of the Kootenays on which the search was focused. Without wishing to speak for anyone who would seek to abduct a child, one also wonders at the early readiness of authorities to identify an alleged perpetrator, which seems to have violated notions of due process within the Canadian system of justice. Usual mechanisms would have identified him as a “person of interest.” While the man in question has a record as a convicted sex offender, he has been all but tried and convicted in the media for this crime without recourse to legal counsel. Should he be apprehended and the case came to trial, it would be hard to imagine where in B.C. one would turn to find an unbiased juror. A surfeit of accusatory zeal does not make our children safer, or make it easier for our system to catch and successfully convict a child abductor. In the long run – it makes it harder. A happy outcome in this instance should not blind us to potential flaws in a system which supposedly exists to protect all of our children.

Plutonic merged with Magma Energy Corp., which has geothermal assets in Iceland and Nevada. The merged company, Alterra Power Corp., has backed away from the vast Bute Inlet run-of-river proposal on the B.C. coast, but its nearby East Toba and Montrose river generators and the Dokie wind farm have performed better than expected. The Bute project won’t go anywhere until the North American power market changes dramatically. Currently the market is low, due mainly to an abundance of cheap natural gas and government-subsidized wind power in the U.S. Horgan claims private investment is a nefarious scheme to create a “parallel generating system” for private profit. That seems to be his key criterion for acceptable small hydro: as long as nobody makes a profit. Professional environmentalists claim rivers have been destroyed. Their favourite villain, Ashlu Creek near Squamish, has been running smoothly for nearly two years, its critics silenced. A new run-of-river cluster around Harrison Lake has energized two remote native villages. I’ve seen these things, from construction stage to mature operation. If that’s your idea of devastation, you should get out more, and acquaint yourself with the history of logging in particular. And if you’re going to insinuate that this is political corruption, as Horgan does, you need a better case than the flimsy one he has presented so far.

Make them really pay Editor: Re: Luxury-vehicle racers face $196 fines, Sept. 6. Wow, I thought rock stars and drug dealers were the only ones able to afford these cars, but I guess this is a sign of the times. There must be a lot of affluent people living in Vancouver, and it seems pointless to slap a $200 fine on the culprits. This is just pocket change to them; it certainly won’t teach them a lesson. The police say there would have been stiffer fines for the offenders had they been caught on video. Ironically, there are hundreds of video pictures of looters and rioters from the Stanley Cup riot and only two have been officially charged thus far. In the U.K., there has been no problem charging looters and dealing with them efficiently. If these road racers had been caught in the U.S., you bet there would be hell to pay. What’s wrong with our system? Maybe it needs to catch up to the changing times. D. Barros, White Rock ■ A set fine – for example, $196 for driving without due consideration for others – hurts poor people, while it is not even noticed by the wealthy. I think I have a more equitable formula for punishing drivers for stupid, dangerous behaviour. Make the fine a percentage of the Black Book value of the vehicle involved in the violation. I believe that the vast majority of vehicle owners buy a vehicle based on their income or net worth – a rich person buys an expensive vehicle, while a person of modest means buys a considerably less expensive vehicle. If, for example, you are caught using a hand-held mobile device while driving, it would cost you, say, two per cent of the value of your vehicle, which means the driver of an old beater might end up paying $100, while someone driving a new, high-end vehicle might pay $3,000. A drunk driver would lose 10 per cent for a first offence, doubling each time. If you are caught running a red light, you might pay 15 per cent. Speeding could be on a sliding scale – if you are caught doing 10 to 19 kilometers per hour over the posted limit, you would pay one per cent, 20 to 29 km/h over the limit would net you a two per cent fine, and so on. Fleeing the scene of an accident and attempting to evade police would result in a 100 per cent fine. If your infraction is the cause of an accident, the fine could double the percentage. Injuries to other parties would triple the percentage, and deaths would quintuple it. This would make the fines levied equally painful to all economic groups. All of the above is just speculative, and would have to be finely tuned by a panel of police officers, lawyers, judges and legislators, with input from the public. Jerry Steinberg, Surrey

The sounds of our community – including trains, bus layovers, motorcycles and blueberry cannons – infuriate some.
Readers sound off on noise issues Editor: Re: Music to some, noise to others, Aug. 30 letters. I appreciate letter-writer Robert Ramsay’s point of view concerning the trains in White Rock. I’m sure all the citizens of this community – along with parts of Ocean Park and Crescent Beach – love hearing “steel wheels on steel rails.” Ramsay also enjoys hearing the melodic train whistle “all times of the day.” Well, with all the above I can’t argue. But there is a sign on White Rock’s East Beach that states: “The train horn will not sound between the hours of 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. unless there is imminent danger.” Now seriously, is there imminent danger every night at midnight, 1 a.m., 2 a.m., 3 a.m., 4 a.m., 5 a.m. and 6 a.m.? I have to agree with letter-writer Patricia E. Millar and believe that BNSF could do a lot more in being a good corporate citizen. I also believe our mayor should get involved with this situation and help the citizens of White Rock. The people of White Rock are not stupid. We understand safety issues, but what BNSF is doing in the middle of the night is not acceptable. M. Copp, White Rock ■ A reminder to those people who do not like the sound of train horns that the trains were here before they were. Moreover, train engineers sound their horns because it is the law. So, if you don’t like the noise, either change the law or move to somewhere train-less. Jim Armstrong, Surrey ■ I feel so blessed to live in a community where the articles in the newspaper and the debates in letters to the editor are so lovely. I love my community and the fact that the complaints of our citizens are whether or not our neighbours cut down trees, the “disruption” of our sleep or enjoyment of our yard space by train whistles, idling buses or overhead passenger planes. In light of recent world and economic events, we truly do need to recognize how lucky we are. White Rock and the surrounding areas are beautiful, peaceful and my very happy home. Holly McNicol, Surrey ■ Re: Sound observations from the booming ’burbs, Sept. 1. Columnist Lance Peverley reminisces about the “booming ’burbs” and the Surrey melody of train whistles, police sirens, and propane cannon blasts – writing eloquently about what is “noise to some, safety to others and, to a young child, a security blanket that helped him sleep soundly through the night.” As Margaret Atwood wrote about art, “What is art to one man is another man’s dog’s breakfast.” If Peverley lived alongside a railway or blueberry farm, he might perceive the noise as something other than a tonic for sleep. Peverley questions why the City of Surrey is the
“target” of my legal action, but the city has long failed to uphold its noise bylaw on cannon use, much like it avoids its bylaw on secondary suites. In three decades of cannon use in Surrey, no farmer has ever been fined for violating municipal and provincial law, which is why farmers wilfully ignore the law. Jim McMurtry, Surrey ■ At 80 plus, I’m a bit of an insomniac, hence as and when the trains come rumbling along the Marine Drive area, I’m usually lying awake well after midnight. Sometimes I hear the whistle faintly well off in the distance; the next thing is the rumbling of the wheels along the track and a faint ding, ding, ding. Only when the train is well off in the distance, presumably to the east, will the engineer give a few more toots on the horn. For at least four or five months it’s been like this, so I can’t agree with the many complaints – about loud horns from the trains into the wee hours of the morning – that have been sent to BNSF or this paper. Sorry, folks, and I live only about a block north of the tracks. I have good hearing, and I find there’s more noise coming from drunks in the parking lot outside our building near West Beach. Another little annoyance we have to put up with is the loud screeching of seagulls in the wee hours that sometimes carry on all day. The cawing of crows adds to the cacophony, but we have to live with it. I thank my lucky stars I don’t live near the blueberry farms! PAN editor Lance Peverley makes some good, sensible points. I mostly enjoyed the last few paragraphs of his column. Eons ago, when I was about 12 and we lived on the outskirts of Toronto, listening to the trains going by and the sound of the horn was fabulous. It was the Depression years, and I was fifth of 11 kids, and I’d stand there and listen to the train whistle; the sound would carry me away and for a few minutes I’d use my imagination and I was content – though I don’t need train whistles any longer to be content with life. I believe BNSF has heard the many complaints and it does seem much quieter, as far as train whistles are concerned. Let’s just hope we can keep the ‘tricksters’ off the tracks in future. We should also think of the engineer who blows that whistle to warn us. Think how this individual would feel if he was responsible for maiming, let alone killing, someone or something that was on the tracks. R. Carrier, White Rock ■ I am tired of reading about people complaining about trains, blueberry guns and agricultural odours. The trains, blueberries, cows and pigs have been here for decades. If you don’t like it, don’t move to an area that has those things! Simple. I find it extremely arrogant of people to move into an area and expect the environment to change just for them. Live and let live! Lena Hunter, Surrey

Quake felt here
NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston refused to comment on whether teachers or other government workers should get raises, after his party helped in the two-year effort to repeal the HST. He said if lower-paid public employees have to sacrifice for Falcon’s cost-cutting exercise, executives in government and Crown corporations should also share the pain. The finance ministry now expects the deficit for 201112 to be $2.3 billion, up from $925 million in the spring budget. That is mainly due to borrowing to repay the federal government’s $1.6 billion HST transition fund. The deficit for 2012-13 is doubled to $805 million, and another $458 million must be made up through cost reductions or extra revenue for the government to balance the books for 2013-14. The HST reversal means the province’s total debt is expected to reach $62.3 billion in the next three years.

I SCOOT to school.
A magnitude 6.4 earthquake that struck over the lunch hour off the west coast of Vancouver Island Friday had residents across southwestern B.C. trading stories of what they felt. The quake hit at 12:41 p.m. and was centered 90 kilometres west-southwest of Gold River, according to Natural Resources Canada. It was 22 kilometres underground and no damage or injuries have been reported. Some Lower Mainland residents reported feeling something like a helicopter passing overhead. There are also reports of swaying buildings, signs and wires.

aboard and took him to shore Police say the exhausted victim told them he was just giving up the fight for his life when the pair pulled him out. Const. Tracy Wolbeck said the rescue was the third on the river this summer, all of which had the potential to be fatal. Heroic efforts such as those by the Bergmanns “really restores the human condition to see people going so far out of their way to help a person in obvious, dire need,” she said. “There is no question that these men are absolute heroes.” The victim was released from hospital the same day and is recovering at home.
Woman honoured for saving her husband’s life A Surrey woman credited with using CPR to save her husband’s life was honoured by the BC Ambulance Service Friday in Cloverdale. Patricia Saites was watching TV with her husband, Spiro, last fall when she noticed him slumped over in his chair, grey and unresponsive. He had gone into cardiac arrest. Saites immediately called 911 and began CPR, which she had learned
several years earlier. She continued until paramedics arrived and took over her husband’s care. For her efforts, Saites was presented a Vital Link medal, an award given members of the public who are involved in saving a life through successful CPR efforts. It aims to recognize the actions of the individual, raise awareness about the benefits of CPR.

Fraser Valley RCMP are crediting a father-son duo with saving the life of a Surrey fisherman. Police say Daniel Bergmann and his 23-year-old son, Luke, were fishing at Peg Leg near Chilliwack Sept. 5 when they heard screams from the shore about a fisherman who had been swept away. Evidence suggests the 57-year-old had slipped off of a rock he was standing on. In the water, his chest waders began to fill and drag him under. The father-son team, who had a boat anchored upstream and raced to the rescue, caught up to the man in time to see him go under. They pulled him

Team departs on cancer ride Brett Bonderud Black Press
Bright, blue morning skies and warm temperatures greeted cyclists beginning a ride of hope in White Rock last Wednesday. More than two dozen riders gathered on the beach near the foot of Oxford Street to begin the Sears National Kids Cancer ride. The ride – scheduled to arrive in Halifax Sept. 23 – raises money for the Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation, which focuses on improving the quality of life for children with cancer and their families. “We give 100 per cent away to charity,” ride founder Jeff Rushton said at the start of the ride.
Money raised will support children’s cancer research, including work done at B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver, Rushton said. This is the ride’s fourth year and the second to start from White Rock. The city’s suburban location, wide beach front and large
bay provided a better launching point than other Vancouver locations such as Kitsiliano. “It’s so incredibly beautiful,” Rushton said about White Rock. Various cyclists dipped their tires in shallow water to begin their cross-country journey. The next dip will be in the Atlantic at the ride’s finish. White Rock Mayor Catherine Ferguson was on hand for the event. Ferguson lost her mother to cancer and said that if she had one superpower it would be to get rid of cancer. The ride has raised $4.7 million in the four years of its existence. By year’s end, the total is projected to reach $6 million.

It likes sun in the day, but would love rain or fog at night, Bose says. A generous downpour from the skies in mid-August provided much-needed water. The maze designs themselves (visible only from above) are always worth noting. The 2010 maze recognized the contribution of Surrey’s agricultural sector, spelling out, “Support your farmer, buy local.” This year’s maze honours the 99th CFL Grey Cup, to be hosted in Vancouver. The maze boasts other attractions: a hay jump, sandbox, slides for the kids, pumpkin patch, plus a fire pit for roasting marshmallows at dusk. The family also sells red, white and russet potatoes on site. � see page 15

Health scare for close-knit family ďż˝ from page 14 The sweet corn should be ready this month. “It’s been a challenging year for farmers, but somehow we managed to get it done. Especially for us,â€? Mike says, referring to his close-knit family, and alluding to his recent health scare. This winter, he underwent quadruple bypass heart surgery just as his team, the Cloverdale Colts Midget A1 hockey team, was headed for the provincials. A Cloverdale Minor Hockey veteran with 22 seasons under his belt, Mike, barely home from hospital, was determined to support his underdog team. He watched from the stands as the players – wearing heartshaped badges on their jerseys and sporting blue Mohawks in honour of “Coach Bâ€? – fought their way to second place, losing the final game to Surrey. It was a proud accomplishment for the hard-working team, which overcame numerous other obstacles along the way. Half a year later, Bose is the picture of recovery, which he chalks up to his exercise program and his diet. He’s scrupulously avoiding excess sodium and fats. The Bose Corn Maze opened a week or so later than last year, Aug. 13, and isn’t slated to close until Oct. 16, a week after

Announcement Mother-and-son team Leslie and Nathan Vieites from Victoria rode a tandem bike to the National Bike for Youth barbecue at South Surrey Athletic Park last week. Brett Bonderud photo
Start of cross-country trek for youth celebrated in South Surrey
Charity ride gets underway More than a dozen National Bike Ride for Youth cyclists celebrated the first leg of a crossCanada tour with a barbecue at the Rotary Fieldhouse in South Surrey Athletic Park last week. The riders – mainly National Bank employees – came in from Tsawwassen after crossing the Strait of Georgia earlier in the day Wednesday. The barbecue was an opportunity to rest, relax and refuel for the next leg of the journey, which took them to Hope.
Music, free food and cold drinks were on hand for weary cyclists. The barbecue was sponsored by National Bank and its White Rock branch, and was to raise awareness for the ride, which celebrates the efforts of youth working with Free The Children. Any pledge money raised by riders in White Rock would go towards a child from White Rock, organizers said. Local organizer and rider Nancy Shewfelt said though she’s not a cyclist, she rode the
130-kilometre leg from White Rock to Hope in support of the charity. “It’s for a good cause – raising awareness for youth,” she said. The 3,000-mile ride is divided into more than 40 different legs with cyclists meeting up in Montreal. Eastward legs began in Victoria Sept. 7 and westward legs will leave from Halifax Sept. 18. The twain are set to regroup and nurse their saddle sores at a big blowout bash Oct. 1. -Brett Bonderud

Tynehead hatchery receives grant funding The Serpentine Enhancement Society has received $12,880 to replace salmon egg trays at the Tynehead hatchery. The society is among 14 volunteer groups in the Metro Vancouver area that have received more than $112,687 to support the conservation and recovery of Pacific salmon populations and habitat in British Columbia.

Car crashes through shop Nearly the entire front of Blooms flower store was taken out when a woman backed into the Fleetwood shop. At just before 11 a.m. Friday, a woman in a blue Toyota, with her son on board, backed into the flower store at 16134 84 Ave. Police believe the crash was accidental and early indications are that no one was hurt.
2011 spring funding round of the Pacific Salmon Foundation’s Community Salmon Program.
The Tynehead Hatchery, which includes a classroom and research station, was built in 1988 by
a dedicated group of volunteers. The hatchery is currently using donated recycled egg trays older than 20
years, that have caused tens of thousands of young salmon deaths. The new trays provided by the Pacific
Salmon Foundation will greatly increase salmon survival. “Volunteers are the unsung heroes of Pacific
salmon sustainability,” said Pacific Salmon Foundation president and CEO Dr. Brian Riddell.

SBOT recommendations aim to help non-profits
India
Improved funding sought Surrey’s business leaders have submitted recommendations to the Community Gaming Grant Review, with an eye to better fund local charities, not-forprofits, community groups, local government and others. The Surrey Board of Trade’s recommendations included: • amend the Gaming Control Act to permit the general manager to dedicate annually an amount equal to 30 per cent of the gaming funds deposited to general revenue to qualified charities; • reinstate the policy of threeyear grants, to reduce the administrative burden on the charities and the Gaming Policy and
Enforcement Branch; • the general manager adjusts the local and provincial caps on the amount a charity can receive in accordance with the projected three-year funding levels. Right now there are societies who will be experiencing a considerable cut to their gaming grant as the result of the $100,000 local cap and the $250,000 provincial cap. • amend the Gaming Control Act to permit the general manager to dedicate annually an amount equal to two per cent of the gaming funds deposited to general revenue to the development of social entrepreneurship and that this money be granted to enter-
prising non-profits, a portion to be for distribution to qualified not-for-profits to develop a social enterprise to provide sustainable income and a portion to provide educational programs to assist these charities in the development of a social enterprise. SBOT is also concerned about the section in the Act that permits the minister to “issue written directives to the lottery corporation on matters of general policy.” Officials say the provision does not provide sufficient oversight, and should be available for public consultation for longer than the 12 months regulated.

Turnstiles may limit flow to future riots: TransLink
Semiahmoo Volunteer Community Police Society
RED SERGE RECEPTION AND AUCTION
Jeff Nagel Black Press
TransLink says its $170-million expenditure on SkyTrain fare gates and smart cards may give authorities new tools to control the flow of partiers taking transit to big events that may turn violent. Spokesman Ken Hardie said it’s too early to respond in detail to transitrelated recommendations issued in response to the June 15 Stanley Cup riot. But he said fare gates being added at all SkyTrain stations could be used to limit the rate at which riders board trains. He noted SeaBus terminals have turnstiles that count the number of passing passengers. When the outgoing vessel’s capacity is reached, the turnstiles temporarily lock out others from entering the boarding area until the next sailing. Fare gates could similarly let transit officials meter and restrict the number of people who board the system at certain stations, Hardie said. “That’s not to say we would do it, but we know it can be done,” he said. “It becomes another option, another tool that potentially has some use.” Hardie would not comment when asked if it’s conceivable TransLink could lock specific riders out of the system – perhaps ones previously ejected from transit for liquor violations – by temporarily deactivating their smart cards on a day when riot-

like trouble is brewing. Fare gates are to start working in early 2013. The VPD and provincial riot reports urged TransLink to find ways to limit the volume of people heading downtown for major events to give organizers some control of crowd sizes. One suggestion is TransLink force downtown-bound passengers to exit at a variety of downtown stations, to avoid heavy concentrations at any one site. Most celebrants were headed to Vancouver Centre station on June 15, with an estimated 500 people exiting there from incoming trains every 90 seconds. The provincial report said TransLink should be prepared to slow down the rapid transit system if necessary. “It’s just not reasonable... to allow an unlimited number of people to go downtown to party,” the report said.
Hosted by the Society
The Semiahmoo Volunteer Community Policing Society was formed in 1993 to raise funds for community policing on the South Surrey/White Rock peninsula. The Society is run by a group of local passionate volunteers which allows 100% of the funds we raise to be invested back into programs and services to support our community. The Society and its volunteers support several programs such as Speed Watch, Bike Patrol, Block Watch, D.A.R.E. and Ride Right Bicycle Safety
Training to name just a few. These programs all contribute to providing a safer community for our families and businesses to live and do business in. The volunteers that run these programs donated several thousand hours per year to ensure the safety of our community. The generous support of our donors and sponsors help us provide the financial resources necessary for the continued success of these programs and initiatives.

These days, bullying isn’t only happening in the schoolyard. The Internet has changed things to such an extent that students are now vulnerable to bullying attacks at any time of day or night. Cyberbullying can have serious consequences and should be taken seriously. What is cyberbullying? It is the harassment of an individual that comes in the form of insulting, degrading, or threatening acts through e-mails, instant messaging, private or public posts and comments on social networks and discussion groups. Even if the messages are not spoken out loud, the consequences can be disastrous: loss of self-confidence, social isolation, and even suicide. Lodge a compLaint It is imperative to do something about this type of situation as soon as it first arises. Students should inform their parents or a member of the school’s personnel.

Metro regional parks to have specific puffing zones
Smoking ban looms Jeff Nagel Black Press
A ban on smoking in regional parks except in designated areas will go to the Metro Vancouver board for a final vote later this month. The region’s parks committee voted 5-4 last week to proceed with the tougher restrictions on smokers who use Metro-run parks, trails and beaches. Committee chair Gayle Martin, a Langley City councillor, said the plan would leave it to Metro staff to define permitted smoking zones near where people spend long periods of time – beaches, shelters, reservable buildings and campsites. “There would be no smoking anywhere in Metro Vancouver parks except for those designated smoking areas,” she said. “If you’re taking a walk on a trail, you will not be able to smoke.” Martin, a smoker herself, was one of the four directors who

Metro Vancouver regional parks and greenways. opposed the new policy. She argued a better approach would have been to define specific no-smoking zones to protect people in high-use areas but let smokers puff away everywhere else in Metro parks. “I’ve never had one complaint about people smoking in regional parks,” Martin said. Posting signs and other policy information would cost up to $23,000, if the recommendation is adopted by the board Sept. 24. A Metro staff report estimated only 10 to 15 per cent of park-goers
smoke and that most would likely voluntarily comply with the new restrictions without any extra spending on enforcement. Smoking zones would only be designated where there is little risk of second handsmoke exposure to others, smoking litter is contained and there is no risk of fire starts. Committee members in favour of the partial ban were Pitt Meadows Mayor Don MacLean, Vancouver Coun. Tim Stevenson, Abbotsford Mayor George Peary, Delta Coun. Scott Hamilton and Langley Coun. Mel Kositsky.

Signal switch gives more old televisions the boot Jeff Nagel Black Press
Last month’s switch from analog to digital television broadcasts has electronics recyclers predicting an uptick in unwanted TVs coming their way. The change only affects TVs that receive over-the-air signals through an antenna – and even they can still be used if paired with a digital converter. But Craig Wisehart, program director of the Electronics Stewardship Association of B.C., expects it means more people will upgrade and cast off old TVs. “We think more of these will end up in the end-of-life category,” he said. “We don’t want them to end up in a landfill somewhere.”
The agency that co-ordinates the electronic waste pickup and recycling system in B.C. is urging anyone with an unwanted set to dispose of it responsibly by taking it to a depot. The broadcast signal change took effect in late August in major markets but has been

deferred in smaller, rural communities. Even before the switch, Wisehart said e-waste depots were already noticing a 15-per-cent jump in the volume of old TVs or computer displays arriving compared to last year. He says the Vancouver Canucks’
playoff run may have been a factor, spurring hockey fans to upgrade their TVs and then recycle older models. “We did see a spike,” he said, but added it’s hard to pinpoint a specific cause. People are becoming more aware of where to take dead or unwanted electronics,
he said, sometimes suddenly cleaning out piles of equipment that’s collected dust in basements for years. B.C.’s depot system
now gets about 20,000 tonnes of electronic waste per year and has collected 55,000 tonnes since it was launched four years ago.

Fish farm foe challenged at B.C. salmon probe Jeff Nagel Black Press
Biologist and antiaquaculture activist Alexandra Morton was scorned last week and accused of ethical breaches in her crusade to tie ocean salmon farms to the collapse of the Fraser River’s wild sockeye runs. Morton, executive director of the Raincoast Research Society, defiantly stood her ground Wednesday in the first of two days of grilling before the Cohen Inquiry. She was pressed on how she can categorically say salmon farms cannot safely co-exist with wild runs when most other scientists testifying before the commission have said – with varying degrees of certainty – that it should be possible. “I am completely independent,” Morton replied, adding she

Natural runs of salmon die when they spawn, Morton said, breaking the chain of disease, but salmon farms act as a place where pathogens can breed and spread back and forth. “Fish farms definitely amplify sea lice,” she said, rejecting the findings of other researchers who suggested the lice aren’t likely playing a pivotal role in salmon decline. Morton said returning Fraser sockeye began to nose-dive in 1992, the same year many salmon farms began operations on the migration route. “In the biological world, you rarely get patterns this bold,” she said.

Moira Elliott
Panorama Ridge artist and instructor Moira Elliott is holding two upcoming events at her studio (12924 54A Ave.). A one-day workshop, Acrylics For All, will be held Sept. 17 from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Designed for those who have painted with acrylics before, and feel familiar and confident with them, the workshop (for ages 14 and up) will cover colour mixing, washes, textures and impasto painting, brushwork techniques and composition – plus, as Elliott says “a few tricks of the trade.” Elliott says her imperative is to discover the best in each student, and ensuring they can put their ideas into practice to the best of their ability. Necessary supplies include paint brushes and acrylic paints, an 18-by 24-inch canvas, plus images of landscapes or floral imagery or subject matter that interests the individual – or even a half-finished canvas that has been awaiting the right time to be completed. Price of the workshop is $190. An open house tour will take place Sept. 24 at the studio, featuring Elliott’s latest series of originals and prints: Hecate, Demeter and Persephone: Phases of Leaving, part of the artist’s exploration of the Mother Goddess figure, featuring strong draughtsmanship and classically influenced imagery. “She protects, comforts and provides insight and resilience beyond the scope of human capability,” Elliott said. “I intend to promote this concept visually, through a series of murals and related illustrations,” she added. “I am further interested in including the relationship between women and the moon, because of the strong symbolic connection.” For more information, call 778-899-5116, or visit www. moiraelliott.com

“We do not grow too old to dance. We grow old because we do not dance.” This sentiment, spoken by Herb Greggereson, a square dance caller, back in 1953, is something the Surrey Square Wheelers know well. The club, which boasts members from White Rock to Mission, is inviting anyone who is interested in learning to square dance to come out this fall and give it a whirl. Square dancing is a low-impact activity that combines a social outing with physical and mental activity — all of it set to music and accompanied by wide smiles and laughter. The benefits are many, said Bryan Jensen, a White Rock resident who took up the activity about 15 years ago and now is a representative for the Fraser Valley Square and Round Dance Association. They include physical activity combined with mental concentration, smiles and laughter, making friends and having fun. Square dancing is also known to increase blood flow, and lung capacity, improve balance and co-ordination, develop mental agility and reduce depression and memory loss. Jensen said he was hooked on square dancing from the moment he stepped on the floor with his wife at the Kent Street Activity Centre. “Never done it before and haven’t stopped doing it since,” he said. “It was fun, it was laughter, it was feel good… three hours of just plain fun.” And, he added, it can be done anywhere in the world – the calls are always done in English and the steps are internationally known. “You can go anywhere – anywhere in the world there’s square dancing going on, and be able to participate,” Jensen said. “Last year, we had a couple couples from Germany stop in to dance with us one evening.” Now is the ideal time for those wanting to get involved, Jensen said. New dancer lessons began Sept. 7 at the Port Kells Hall, at 88 Avenue and Harvie Road in Surrey.

Sharks beat UBC Old Boys in first game of fall schedule
Bayside opens season with win Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
The Bayside Sharks’ top men’s team opened the fall rugby season with a victory Saturday, beating the UBC Old Boys Ravens 19-10 at Jericho Park in Vancouver. The win came via comeback, as the Sharks fell behind early – they trailed 10-0 at halftime – before storming back to score three unanswered tries in the second half. “We were a little rusty to start the game, and we still had to get familiar with each other out there. We were getting pinned back with kicks, and the field really felt slanted against us that first 40 minutes,” Bayside premier coach Pat Kearney explained.
“But we were able to completely turn it around in the second half, so that was really great.” The Sharks got second-half tries from Pete Johnson, Gurvinder Kalar and Keaton Styles, the latter player suiting up for Bayside’s premier team for the first time after spending the last few seasons with the University of Victoria Vikings. “Keaton was really good for us at fullback. He played well,” said Kearney of the Earl Marriott Secondary grad. Due to the B.C. Rugby Union’s new format – in which the top five teams from last year’s spring premier league qualify for 2012, and the remaining six teams fight for the final two spots – Saturday’s
win did not actually count in the standings for Bayside. All 11 BCRU teams play each other this fall, but only games against the bottom six will count for points in the standings. Games against already-qualified clubs, like the UBC Old Boys, will serve as exhibition tilts. Next week’s home opener, 2:45 p.m. at South Surrey Athletic Park, is also an exhibition tilt, against Meralomas. “It doesn’t count in the standings, but a win is still a win, and I’d rather be talking about that than a loss today,” Kearney said. “It’s a good start for us, and it gets the guys fired up for the season.” Though the Old Boys are already
qualified for the premier league this spring – and essentially have little to play for during the fall calendar – Kearney said they still fielded a veteran lineup, with only a few key players missing. “They had most of their full squad out… they were maybe a little thin at a few spot, but that’s it,” Kearney said. “We just played them really well. Really, we were unlucky in the second half not to score a few more tries. “And I know they weren’t happy with (the loss).” Bayside’s first division men also beat the UBC Old Boys Saturday, by a 43-15 score. “It was a nice sweep,” said Kearney.
With a few weeks left before the start of the regular season, Surrey Eagles’ head coach Matt Erhart is pleased with what he’s seen from his team so far this preseason – which makes the final few roster decisions even tougher. “It’s been a longer camp than usual, but it’s really allowed us to get a better look at what we have here,” Erhart said. “We don’t want to rush to any decisions, and we’ve got a few tough decisions left to make, but we’ve been very happy with the group here.” After initial cuts in training camp, the Eagles had 27 players left on the roster heading into last weekend’s two pre-season games against the Chilliwack Chiefs – both of which were won by the Eagles – and are down to 25 players after sending a pair of young prospects back to their respective midget teams. “By the middle of the week we’ll probably be down a couple more, and then by the end of the week, after our last (pre-season) game, we should be at our number, for sure,” Erhart said. “We just don’t want to make our decisions too quickly, because guys get injured and then you’re (short players), so we’ll take our time and make the right decisions.” Surrey beat Chilliwack 4-2 on Friday at South Surrey Arena, and followed that with another 4-2 victory Saturday in Chilliwack. Prior to that, the Eagles had lost two exhibition tilts to Coquitlam in late August. � see page 33

Novices will learn the game’s rules, etiquette, the art of sweeping and rock delivery. “Rock delivery puts your body into positions you don’t normally get in,” club manager Richard Brower said. “Balancing while delivering a curling rock is harder than it may first appear.” Brower said most people would be surprised to find curling is more physically and mentally challenging than they might initially expect. Sliding on ice, sweeping a broom and delivering on potential game strategy are a just some of the sport’s challenges. Once started though, people curl for most of their lives Brower said. “Curling is a social game. I’m still curling
with people I’ve been curling with since the 1980s.” The learn-to-curl program will be open to participants ages 10 and older and serves as a way for players to more easily join the clubs’ curling leagues. “The Novice League is brand new,” Brower said. The instructionintensive Novice League is a transition to the club’s more challenging regular leagues. People wanting to join the learn-to-curl program are encouraged to bring gloves or mittens, clean, rubbersoled shoes, and dress in layers for the ice rink. Wear loose fitting pants as well. Equipment will be provided. The learn-to-curl programs will be at Peace Arch Curling Centre in Centennial Park at 1475 Anderson St., on Sept. 17-18, 1-5 p.m. each day and for four consecutive Sundays 1-3 p.m. begining Nov. 13. Cost is $67, including HST. For information or to register, contact Richard Brower at pacc@shaw.ca or 604-531-0244.
Svensson top amateur South Surrey golfer Adam Svensson’s summer ended on a high note earlier this month, with a sixth place finish at the Vancouver Open Pro-Am. Svensson, who just started his Grade 12 year at Earl Marriott Secondary, was the top amateur at the event after posting a three-round score of 208 (72-66-70) at three Vancouver courses – McLeary, Langara and Fraserview. Svensson was not the only golfer with local ties to excel in the tournament. Morgan Creek Golf Course’s Adam Hadwin – who has spent time on the PGA Tour this summer – won the event over Brad Clapp in a one-hole playoff.

Exhibition schedule ends Friday � from page 31 And though Erhart doesn’t put much stock in preseason win-loss records, it was still nice to win two on the weekend, he said. “I think I (was) 0-6 as a head coach in preseason,” he laughed. “Nice to get off the schnied, here.” Where the Eagles will look markedly different this season, regardless of Erhart’s final cuts, is on the blue line, as the team looks to replace departed veterans Mitch Jones and Riley Sweeney, both of whom are playing in the NCAA this year, and steady stay-at-home defenceman Doug Wedel, who was dealt to the Salmon Arm Silverbacks in August. Another vet, Josh Monk, was dealt to the Cowichan Valley Capitals in exchange for forward Brandon Tanev. Erhart is also in the market for a backup goaltender, but he’s been impressed so far with the play of returnee Andrew Hunt, who he expects will handle the bulk of the work in the crease this season. “He’s had a great camp, and we’re really looking forward to seeing what he can do,” Erhart said. “Andrew’s gone through the process, of playing junior B, then coming in here as a backup last year. He’s 19 now, so this is his time to take that next step.” Erhart said he’s also been

Everybody we’ve brought in has worked out very well so far.” But if the Eagles are to duplicate, or improve upon, their success of last year – they advanced all the way to Coastal Conference finals – it will be the returning veterans, Erhart said, who will carry the load.
“It sounds cliche, but everybody coming back from last year is bigger and better,” he said. “And those guys have a bitter taste in their mouths, after losing in the conference finals last year. I think they went into the summer focused, and they trained accordingly, and now they’re coming back and looking to go even further.” The Eagles wrap up the preseason schedule Friday, when they host the Langley Rivermen at South Surrey Arena. Puck drops at 7 p.m.

Semiahmoo Minor Hockey initiative aimed at parents
Course promotes respect, fun Brett Bonderud Black Press
Don’t live through your kids – they’re living their own lives, is the message behind the Semiahmoo Minor Hockey Association’s involvement in Respect in Sport -Parent. The one-hour online course is a tool for parents to evaluate their own behaviours and recognize their natural influence on their children. “It’s a learning and awareness tool for problematic parents,” Ian
Maguire, president of Semiahmoo Minor Hockey Association, said. The program focuses on a variety of topics including player development, and interaction with children, coaches and other parents. “Sports are fun,” Macguire said. He’s all too often seen parents who try to live their lives through their children – pushing them to succeed. They can also push them right out of hockey. “Every parent, me included, will benefit from the course mate-
w
rial. We all want our children to be successful, hardworking and respectful – on and off the ice. The best way we can support our kids is to set the tone ourselves by cheering, coaching and encouraging with respect,” Macquire said in a press release. “Semiahmoo Minor Hockey’s number one priority is providing a safe and fun environment for our players,” Macquire told Peace Arch News.

A new surgery-free, non-invasive technique gets rid of unwanted fat! Even if you’ve endured never-ending marathon workouts, you probably have pockets of plump that won’t budge. And while going under the knife may be tempting, the pain is not! Now you don’t have to. Thanks to Zeltiq a new surgery-free FDA approved technique is available and New Beauty Institute is pleased to have been chosen to be able to offer the treatment.

Professionals On The Peninsula
The breakthrough new way to SCULPT YOUR BODY! How it works: As temperatures plunge, fat cells freeze long before muscle, skin or any other tissue does! Zeltiq Coolsculpting takes advantage of this by chilling fat deposits to around 45 degrees. “Damaged, frozen fat cells can’t be repaired by the body, so they’re smoothing out even stubborn fat pads within two to four months” says dermatologist Mark S. Nestor, M.D., Director of the Center for Cosmetic Enhancement in Miami, Florida. And specific troublespots can be easily targeted! What to expect: Zeltiq Coolsculpting takes about one hour per treated area. Since no anaesthetics, needles, or incisions are needed you can head back to your normal activities right away; there is no downtime. Treated areas tend to look red and feel a bit stiff for about 20 minutes, and some patients experience temporary bruising, numbness, or tenderness.

What studies show: “Zeltiq removes 20% - 25% of the fat from treated areas, but patients say their troublespots actually shrink 40% - 50%.” “It’s producing better results than the research had predicted. Patients love it!” The catch: If you’re obese, you will not be happy with this treatment, notes Caree Ludwar, owner of New Beauty Institute. “It’s meant for people who are close to their ideal body weight and want to get rid of stubborn pockets of fat - the sort of thing that wrecks the way clothing fits. However, we have had very good results with larger belly areas on some patients.”

OBITUARIES
Richard Jason Noel Davidson Langhorst “Jason” (of Langley, B.C.) July 23, 1970 - August 30, 2011 On the morning of August 30th, at Foot Hills Hospital in Calgary, at the age of 41, and with his family by his side Jason left us. An only child, Jason grew up knowing he was especially loved by his mother and father who ensured he also have the chance to earn the love of a huge extended family. He was and will always be a family favourite with his big heart, big laugh, boundless energy, super human strength and big bear hugs. He showed strength, determination, loyalty, generosity, humour and joie de vive and these qualities inspired us all. Jason accomplished so much in his life; he overcame great obstacles, tried his hand at a few careers before becoming a journeyman electrician then going on to cable splicing with BC Hydro. In his valiant battle against a dreadful disease Jason showed us what a strong and courageous person he really was. Jason’s good humour and easy manner enabled him to get along and connect with everyone. Jason was extremely insightful and was known for his ability to provide frank advice and feedback in a disarming helpful manner. Also known for his friendly nature, positive energy and sweetness of character he has earned him a place in the hearts of his many friends and all who know him through school, work and community. Jason felt very fortunate to have met and married the love of his life, Alenna, and to have produced two beautiful daughters with her. Jason was a good person, was respectful of others and demonstrated these characteristics in the way he raised Mary and Jessi. Jason’s greatest pride was his whole large family: watching his children grow, his greatest pleasure. In his last weeks and during a time for reflection his dad, Roy said he was a rock star in the hospital as he organized, helped and entertained his roommates. He always had time for a visit and to catch up. Jason was an avid sports enthusiast who enjoyed cheering on his favourite teams and pursuing activities such as running, biking, swimming, surfing and snowboarding. In the past few years he became a tri-athlete. Jason is survived by his wife Alenna (née Anuik) and his daughters Mary Margaret (10) and Jessica Jane (6). He is also survived by his adoring parents Susan (née Davidson) and Roy Langhorst, his aunts: Diana(Mark), Gail, Marie (Geoff), Karen(Dave), Brenda (Michael) and his many cousins in BC, Alta, and Sask, his in-laws Elmer and Kay Anuik, brother-in-law Bret (Tina) and his many friends from his childhood in South Surrey, and at school, work and beyond. He is predeceased by grandparents, Margaret and Slim Davidson who loved him unreservedly. “A celebration of Jason’s life will be scheduled in the near future. A notice of Jason’s celebration of life will be published after the details are finalized. For those who want to be notified of the date and time of Jason’s celebration of life please send an email to susan-roy@shaw.ca with the subject line “COL Details”.” Jason will be dearly missed by his family and friends who love and cherish him deeply.
