Surrey residents account for more than a third of the 60 facing charges so far
Most riot suspects hail from suburbia Jeff Nagel Black Press
Most of the first batch of 60 suspects facing charges for alleged involvement in the June 15 Stanley Cup riot are from Metro Vancouver suburbs, with more than onethird of them hailing from Surrey. Vancouver Police Department Chief Jim Chu said this week that 163 charges are being recommended against 60 people. Twenty-one alleged rioters are from Surrey, while 12 are from Vancouver, nine are from Burnaby and four are from Maple Ridge. The rest are from Abbotsford, Delta, Richmond, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Langley, New Westminster, North Vancouver, Victoria, Courtenay, West Kelowna and Seattle. Rioters looted stores and torched police cars and other vehicles in Downtown Vancouver after the Boston Bruins beat the Vancouver Canucks in Game 7. “The people who rampaged that night must be held accountable for their actions,” Chu said, calling it the “largest crime spree in the history of B.C.” Onlookers shot video and photos on cellphones and posted them on social media, fuelling what has become a massive crowd-sourced police investigation. The VPD has asked Crown counsel to charge all 60 initial suspects with participating in a riot, while many face charges including mischief, assault or break and enter. � see page 4

Sentencing hearing rescheduled after assessment catches lawyers by surprise
Psychiatric report ‘worst I’ve ever seen’: Crown Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Dardan Elbasani
The sentencing hearing for a man who pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a woman in South Surrey was adjourned this week, after lawyers were caught off-guard by findings of a psychiatric report on Dardan Elbasani. “It is probably one of the worst I’ve ever seen and has completely changed the landscape for both counsels,” Crown Jennifer Lopez told Judge Ellen Gordon in Surrey Provincial Court Tuesday.
Elbasani, 23, was arrested in a Niagara Falls, Ont., casino last July in connection with a June 16 sexual assault in Southmere Village Park. At the time, he was also wanted on outstanding warrants in Surrey, White Rock and Langley. Lopez told Peace Arch News that Tuesday’s sentencing was originally expected to deal with the sexualassault charge, as well as assault charges resulting from a May incident in White Rock and a breach of probation charge. Elbasani pleaded guilty to those offences at an earlier date, Lopez said, which eliminated the
need for a trial. Lopez told Gordon that she and Elbasani’s lawyer only received the psychiatric report on the day prior, Oct. 31. It notes that Elbasani’s drug use made the assessment difficult, Lopez said. Gordon ordered a supplemental report, and the sentencing hearing is now set for Jan. 18. Lopez told PAN she could not speculate on what kind of sentence she will argue for. She does plan, however, to introduce victim-impact statements. Elbasani remains in custody.

School funding good for students, and politicians, too
T
school, Adams Road Elementary in Clayton, opened earlier this year. It’s not that the province has been ignoring capital funding. It has spent substantial sums on health facilities, on the BC Place renovations and on the trade and convention centre in Vancouver. But for some reason, school projects were shoved far down the list. While this makes sense in the many districts that have been losing students due to changing demographics, it never made sense in Surrey. It appeared that Surrey had got lost in the shuffle, as the prevailing trend was declining enrolment and school closures. While former premier Gordon Campbell said education was a high priority, school districts didn’t seem to get much in the way of capital funds. Clark, who has emphasized the needs of families, seems to have been more receptive. School capital programs in Surrey have been vote-getters in the past. In the late 1980s, the NDP made a big deal about Surrey’s lack of funds for new schools, with former premier Mike Harcourt touring numerous facilities while he was opposition leader. When the NDP came to power in 1991, Surrey received considerable funds for needs that had gone untended for some time. Perhaps Clark is hoping for a repeat when her government goes to the polls in May 2013. Frank Bucholtz writes Thursdays for the Peace Arch News. He is the editor of the Langley Times.

Former councillor defends use, as a 25-year council veteran
Candidate’s ‘re-elect’ signage under fire Judy Higginbotham is asking voters to “reelect” her to city council, even though she hasn’t held a seat there in three years. The term “re-elect” on campaign signs is usually reserved for incumbents, however the rules regarding municipal elections in B.C. are silent on when the term can be used. After not seeking re-election in 2008 to focus on her unsuccessful bid for a federal seat with the Liberal party, Higginbotham put the question to her election team about a month ago on whether to use the term.
It was unanimous, she said Tuesday, to go with “re-elect.” “I spent 25 years on council,” Higginbotham said. “I took a sabbatical.” Some candidates don’t see it that way and say they are bothered Higginbotham would use the term while not in office. Gary Robinson, who is running for city council under the Surrey Civic Coalition banner, was a city councillor 12 years ago. “It is something I could have done, it wouldn’t have been honest though,” Robin-
son said, pointing out Higginbotham’s use of the term goes directly to what concerns him about council. “This election is actually about accountability, openness and honesty,” Robinson said. “That’s just another example of how some liberties are being taken by, not only some of the existing councillors, but also some of the old wannabe councillors.” Independent Susan Thomas said she, too, is miffed that Higginbotham is giving the impression she’s an incumbent.
“It’s very misleading,” Thomas said. “I don’t think it’s a fair representation… I guess if anything, I’m not happy with that, because it’s not a true and accurate statement.” SCC’s Stephanie Ryan said it’s a deceptive practice. “It’s disingenuous,” Ryan said. “Judy is not currently on council and if they’re brand new signs, some people would say it’s intentionally misleading.” The civic election is Saturday, Nov. 19. – Kevin Diakiw
TRE19S O Y E SURR NOVEMBE
Seven vie to lead Surrey Kevin Diakiw Black Press
Sitting in her office last Friday morning, Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts was calm and relaxed, despite being in the maelstrom of a civic re-election campaign. Watts has reason to feel comfortable. A recent national poll indicates 68 per cent of people in Surrey like the job she’s doing, and 54 per cent of those asked say they intend to put her back in office. However, running in a municipal race is a grind, she admits, adding it’s the only level of government where incumbents are expected to do their jobs while campaigning. This campaign, Watts, 52, will be standing on her record. She says her most notable accomplishments in the past three years have been creating substantial policies, including the Homelessness and Housing Foundation and an Ecosystem Management Study, as well as waging a successful fight for better transportation south of the Fraser. One of Watts’ key policy initiatives was the Build Surrey program, which features about $175 million in capital projects over the next few years, including all-weather fields, a performing arts centre, the new City Centre Library and a new city hall in Whalley. She’s receiving heat from her opponents in this election for spending $50 million (some estimate $97 million when interest is calculated) on that city hall, but she defends the expenditure. “When we’re designated the second metropolitan core of the region, you need to build a downtown core,” Watts said, adding the area will encompass Simon Fraser University, the library, a performing arts centre and a municipal hall. “You look at where a city hall should be situated. It needs to be close to transportation.” She also notes that for the first time in years, Surrey has freed up a housing fund for the Homelessness and Housing Foundation. “We’ve given almost $2 million to non-profit organizations to assist in dealing with homelessness and affordablehousing issues,” Watts said. She’s also proud of the city’s

green initiatives, particularly the Ecosystem Management Study, which analyzed the state of the environment by examining all factors affecting local ecosystems. Watts said the city’s eco-friendly initiatives have been recognized by the Fraser Basin Council and other organizations. “We have the largest urban wildlife corridor out of any city in the country,” Watts said. She also pointed to the district energy systems that will use geothermal energy for heating and power-saving schemes for densely populated areas, such as City Centre and Grandview Heights.
In some areas, that may include incineration of things such as wood chips (but not waste), Watts acknowledged, but “that depends on which technology.” Regional officials say some of the best practices for a waste incinerator is to have it near highly populated areas so the heat can be used to warm district homes and businesses. Watts said garbage incineration is a non-starter for her and will not happen during her term in office. “I wouldn’t want that; that’s not what I would have envisioned,” Watts said. “It’s not just dealing with that technology, you’re dealing
with what comes to feed that plant. I don’t want hundreds of garbage trucks coming into the City of Surrey and burning garbage.” She also said Surrey has made great headway in transportation. “Forty-five per cent of the (transit and transportation) expansion is going to come south of the Fraser.” While Watts has been criticized for voting in favour of a two-centper-litre hike in gas taxes to pay for transportation initiatives, she said something had to be done. The population of seniors in Surrey will grow by 179 per cent in 15 years, while the growth in youth is also on the rise.
“We’ve got to look into the future, because I guarantee you, the majority of seniors are going to be wanting to get on that bus,” Watts said. “As will our students.” Asked what she would do differently, she was hard-pressed to offer something, saying she lives her life without regrets. That said, in hindsight, she said she would have asked for a performance bond on a casino property that was rezoned and flipped in Newton earlier this year. It would have ensured the promised $25 million in improvements were built. � see page 9

Ex-deputy manager sues city CHRIS Kevin Diakiw Black Press
The former deputy city manager for Surrey is suing the city for terminating him without cause last spring. Dan Bottrill filed a statement of claim in B.C. Supreme Court Aug. 11 seeking damages from the city for his dismissal. The City of Surrey sought someone for the position of deputy city manager in late 2007. Through a recruiter, the city “pursued” Bottrill, according to the statement of claim, “urging him to leave his employment with the District of Abbotsford” to work with Surrey.

This is just the beginning: Chu � from page 1 “This is just the beginning, as we expect to announce more arrests in the weeks and months ahead,” Chu said, noting hundreds could ultimately be prosecuted. The VPD has been under fire in recent months because no suspects had yet been charged, despite the fact dozens had come forward and confessed. Chu defended the VPD decision not to “rush cases to court.” “We believe the community supports the independence of the police and our professional judgment to conduct thorough investigations, not cut corners in order to satisfy the vocal criticisms of a few,” he said. Chu said one Vancouver Island rioter who confessed after being outed on Facebook would have been charged only for one count of mischief involving a single car had police moved quickly. But he said the Indianapolis lab
analyzing thousands of hours of video has since determined the man damaged six vehicles and broke into three stores that night, resulting in multiple charges. A database at the lab is able to quickly scan a suspect against 15,000 identified criminal acts recorded on video. A Burnaby man with a prior record was caught because of blood DNA he left at the scene. Chu said the database then found video of the suspect punching someone in the back of the head and trying to hide his face as he looted a store. The man faces charges of assault causing bodily harm, break and enter, disguise with intent to commit an offence and participating in a riot. Chu said the lab has been invaluable, even helping identify rioters who masked their faces. Others arrested include: • A drunk 21-year-old Delta man with no criminal record
who police say joined the mayhem, smashing the tail lights and window of a parked truck before helping set it on fire. • A 23-year-old Surrey woman who can be seen on video using a cigarette lighter to set fire to a police car and then smashing it several times with a piece of wood. She has no record but faces charges of participating in a riot, mischief and arson. • A 52-year-old Port Coquitlam man caught on video looting a store. He’s the oldest suspect facing charges so far and has a long criminal record for theft, break and enter and sex offences. The 50 men arrested range in age from 16 to 52, while 10 women facing charges are 16 to 22. The average age of the suspects is 21. Prosecutors must still approve charges. Crown prosecutor Neil McKenzie said some suspects could be charged by December.

Fees provide election fodder
A
burgeoning consultants’ tab for the City of White Rock must be a concern for residents – and particularly for those seeking votes in this month’s civic election. Figures released by financial services director Sandra Kurylo last week show that the city’s spending on consultants’ fees crept over the $1 million mark in the first nine months of this year to reach $1,070,121 – more than twice what was spent in the same period of 2010. There are many legitimate reasons why the figure could jump so much – including Kurylo’s suggestion that much of the expense stems from a spate of capital improvement projects currently underway. But even if every cent spent on consultants is justified, the total figure presents the kind of optic that guardians of the public purse should be at pains to avoid. The $1-million price tag is a nice round number, just made to order for political opportunists and those with a yen to embarass incumbents on the campaign trail. If, as White Rock’s own policy states, consultants are employed where specific expertise is not available in house, the figure suggests – or could be made to suggest – the small city has a $1-million shortfall in know-how among its staffers. Defenders of city spending will argue, of course, that it isn’t cost effective to require city staff to have expertise in every conceivable situation. Some projects, it’s true – particularly those involving funds contributed by other levels of government – have a statutory requirement that a consultant be hired. In others, the presence of a consultant may truly be the best guarantee of limiting the city’s legal liability or ensuring that advice is independent and objective. The other policy stipulation that could have led to the expense is potentially more troubling – that hiring a consultant provides the best way around tight or unexpected deadlines. In the hands of an opponent, such reasoning could smack of poor planning and quick fixes rather than responsible use of tax dollars. The city, it could be argued, is in the throes of a consultancy habit, or dependency, as debilitating as any individual addiction. The truth of the matter probably falls somewhere closer to responsible spending than profligacy. But White Rock politicians would be wise to try even harder to limit such expenditure in future – particularly in a city whose financial viability has been repeatedly called into question.

work – I accomplished said goal. Lack of willpower aside, I reached my goal because I had something specific to shoot for. (Aside from, you know, general good health, which come to think of it, should be motivation enough, but I digress…) Which brings me back to Wednesday’s Great Chocolate Eviction. I have something to shoot for again – I’m getting married in a year, and I’d like to be able to fit comfortably into a suit. Because wedding pictures last forever – even if some marriages don’t – and I’ll be damned if I’m going to stare at my pudgy face on the mantle for the rest of my life. I’ve been working on my plan for a month or two already, and there has certainly been progress made – I had to go out and buy what my girlfriend calls cheap “transition” clothes, because my old clothes are too big but I’m not yet ready to spend a fortune on new ones, and the kitchen is chock-full of healthy options. But it’s been hard work and – gulp – taken a fair bit of willpower I don’t necessarily possess. And there’s plenty of work yet to be done. It means going for daily (OK, semidaily) early-morning jogs and long evening walks with the dog, and it means eating healthy food rather than making fast-food runs. And, sadly, it means saying sayonara to the Halloween leftovers. My 10-year-old self would be so unimpressed. Nick Greenizan is a reporter at the Peace Arch News.

City’s loss is hospice’s gain Editor: In July we had a sickness in our home in White Rock. Lo and behold, our mayor, Catherine Ferguson, gave us the honour of a surprise visit to see if we were OK, or needed any assistance. During the visit, Catherine noticed our blackberry bushes in the backyard and asked if we would mind if she picked some. Within the next few days, her husband arrived with a blackberry pie she baked for our family. How she was able to find the time in her busy schedule to do this kind deed for us is truly amazing indeed. Our discussion at our home gave us the strong feeling that Catherine was indeed “a mayor of the people,” always accessible, connected with the citizens of White Rock and one who has great pride in the city she so well represents. We will certainly miss her integrity as mayor, and wish her all the best in her position with the hospice, for which she will be well suited in working with those in need. Dick & Jane Butler, White Rock ■ As a resident of White Rock, I want to say to Catherine Ferguson a very large “thank you.” Your efforts have been greatly appreciated by many residents of White Rock. All the very best to you in your future endeavours. You will be missed. Lynn Woodward, White Rock
As I was walking down the hall, the staff greeted me. I was shocked. As I went by the nurses’ station, they asked me if there was anything I needed. I had become so accustomed to nurses ignoring me and being annoyed by me asking questions that I mentioned it to my family, and they all had the same pleasant experience. The nurses said they actually encouraged family to come by as often as they wished, as it was good for the patient. And they had him in a private room, not a ward like all the other hospitals. Was it possible there still was a hospital around that actually had compassion for their patients and for what their family was going through when possibly saying goodbye to a loved one? Yes there is, and it is Peace Arch Hospital that provided us with a loving warm environment to say goodbye to our father, husband, opa and great-opa on May 19 of this year. Thanks to both doctors and nurses for putting in the extra effort and not treating my dad like a second-class citizen, like so many of the other hospitals had. The people of White Rock and Surrey are lucky to have you. Yvonne Van Gelderen, Surrey ■ Recently I have been dealing with a shocking medical condition which has sent me reeling as I have previously had a good constitution. I have nothing but praise for my doctor and the staff of Peace Arch
Hospital in their prompt reaction to my problem. The tests I needed were expedited within the week, and I felt that things were progressing well – until the test results were suddenly stalled. My understanding from the doctor was that the transcription at Peace Arch Hospital is now taking up to three weeks for CT scans. This is not acceptable for people whose results are necessary for referring them to specialists and for whom reaction time is very important. Our population is aging and will continue to do so. Peace Arch Hospital and Fraser Health need to plan for the continuous increase in the number of medical tests, as older people are bound to need more attention. Why not hire a few more transcriptionists to handle the workload? This would surely be a fairly inexpensive way to ease the stress that patients and doctors are already under when faced with possible life-threatening conditions. E. Spencer, Surrey ■ I recently had to be rushed to the emergency ward at Peace Arch Hospital with an illness and ended up spending five days in the acutecare ward for seniors. I would like to compliment the nurses and support staff, and say thank you for the wonderful treatment I received. They treated me like I was their own grandpa. Ralph E. Johnson, Surrey
They don’t care that it hurts us Editor: I was walking with a friend near the Stewart Farmhouse this fall. We had returned to the large open area parking lot on the west side to put a jacket in my van. Then we sat nearby on a bench for about half an hour. In that time, someone found the opportunity to throw a large rock through my passenger-side window. As I was visiting my elderly father who has cancer, I’d left clothes in the van and, under the ‘mess,’ I’d left my camera. This was stolen, everything else rummaged through. Speedy Glass was helpful and had the window in in a couple of hours. It cost $296. I have $300 deductible. The camera is not covered. When I discovered the situation, folks said there had been broken glass in the same spot the week before. One lady said someone had thrown a rock through her window in front of her home in Ocean Park. When calling the police, you get a file number, but they do not attend. This is a costly situation for someone living on pensions. Now I have to save for a new camera and, of course, the photos are irreplaceable. I guess this happens all the time. Revolving-door criminals and addicts. These criminals are brazen and don’t realize, or care, how this affects the victim. Linda Neumann, Princeton

In praise of our caregivers Editor: I have been meaning to write to you for some time now, but it’s hard for me to make the time. I have never written to a paper before but felt this was important enough I needed to do it. I wanted to write about an experience we had with Peach Arch Hospital back in May. My father had been in and out of hospitals over the last couple of years, and we had become very accustomed to the lack of professionalism, care and compassion we had all been treated with in other hospitals. My parents had just moved here from Richmond to be closer to the family and were concerned about changing doctors, etc. A week after my parents had moved, my father took a turn for the worst and he ended up in Peace Arch Hospital. On one particular evening, my father was feeling depressed and discouraged and I told him I would come back early the next day, as I was sure he would feel different in the morning. I was sure that since I was coming before what we were used to being “visiting hours” that the staff was going to be upset with me, but I didn’t care.

Bees, like the insect on the right, often get blamed for stinging done by other insects, such as wasps (left).
Don’t bee so quick to mislead us Editor: Re: Stung by desire to follow in his footsteps, Sept. 27. Bees, wasps, hornets, orchard mason bees, bumble bees, etc., what is the difference? Some of them sting more than others. The subject article deals with a situation where during the recent Terry Fox Run, a number of children got stung at the White Rock Elementary premises. After investigating the matter, I found that the stinging was done by wasps, not bees! Bees do not normally sting unless they are mistreated. I have operated a registered apiary for many years, and I cannot accept having bees blamed for something they did not do. These little creatures are godsent. Unfortunately, there is a worldwide problem with bees
disappearing for some reason. I should like to praise the children affected by the ‘nasty surprise’ for their stamina to continue with the Terry Fox Run. May I also suggest that spokespeople and reporters familiarize themselves with the difference of the various types of insects, to avoid feeding misleading information to the public. There is indeed a lot of very interesting information available on the Internet, or through courses at beekeeping clubs, etc. There is no need for any bee or wasp problem in this area. If anyone calls the City of White Rock, my partner’s and my name and telephone numbers are available, and we take care of the situation immediately. Dr. Karl H. Cremer, Surrey

Two charged in bank spree Two men arrested Sept. 27 in Burnaby are each facing charges in connection with a spate of robberies committed across Metro Vancouver, including White Rock and South Surrey. According to Surrey RCMP – who released news of the arrests and charges Tuesday – a total of 14 charges have been approved against 25-year-old Joseph Pouliout, in connection with 13 bank robberies and one taxicab robbery. Trevor Yokubouskis, 29, is facing eight charges, all relating to bank robberies. Both men remain in custody. Police say the crimes were committed over a one-month span.
Locally, one robbery occurred Sept. 7 at the TD Canada Trust bank, in the 15100-block of North Bluff Road in White Rock. Another two were reported Sept. 9: one near 56 Avenue and 151 Street and another near 56 Avenue and 152 Street. In the White Rock incident, police say a suspect entered the bank, demanded money and then fled east on North Bluff. Const. Janelle Shoihet said video surveillance helped connect incidents in Surrey, Abbotsford, Chilliwack and Vancouver. Links between the crimes were determined with assistance from crime analysis experts, Cpl. Drew Grainger said. - Tracy Holmes

Candidates challenge incumbent � from page 3 “That is one of the things that really annoys me, is around that casino,” Watts said. “There were expectations and commitments that were made by the previous owners that were not lived up to.” As for the next three years, Watts intends to finish the Build Surrey program and implement initiatives within the Crime Reduction Strategy. “The sobering centre will be finished, and we’ve renewed our call for the community court.” She said she wants to move bylaw officers away from their current strategy of responding to complaints only, and she wants to have a multi-department strategy, where engineering, parks and other departments are reporting bylaw infractions.
More accountability As mayor, Vikram Bajwa says he will bring transparency to city hall. “They do everything behind closed doors,” the 51-year-old real estate agent and developer said. “Who has the record?” Bajwa signed a contract with the Canadian Taxpayers Federation promising he won’t raise taxes beyond the provincial rate of inflation. If he does, he will be fined 15 per cent of his pay for a year. Bajwa also said he would hold more meetings in a public setting, and he wants to have a
municipal police force rather than the RCMP. “We would follow the Vancouver model,” he said. “They have retrained their officers more for (crime) prevention than anything else.” Bajwa said the first thing Surrey needs in order to fix these things is a ward system. Wards would see one councillor represent a particular area, or ward, rather than the whole city, as in the current at-large system. “It’s something the South Asian community is screaming for, and it’s something we could all benefit from,” he said. “Right now, in the absence of a ward system, people don’t know who to go to – they go to everyone, no one responds, then they go to staff, and no one responds. “The absence of a ward system is just an excuse for councillors and staff not to be accountable.”
“During that time, (operational) spending increased 41.3 per cent,” Buchanan said, noting employees at city hall increased to 3,000 from 2,200. “We’ve outstripped population growth 10-to-one.” There are a number of areas where the business consultant said he would cut spending. “I wouldn’t have given the cowboys at Cloverdale Rodeo another quarter-million (dollars) to prop up the purse,” he said. “I wouldn’t have spent a quartermillion on the green wall at the South Surrey library. I see waste like that all over the place.” Buchanan also wants to see a halt to construction of the new city hall in North Surrey, which he said will cost $97 million, once loan interest is paid. He wants a full public consultation and a study as to whether it’s appropriate to spend that kind of money in these economic times. He believes Surrey has lost its engagement with the public. “People feel so removed, so abandoned,” he said. “I hear stories every day from people who say they can’t even get a phone call back from their councillors. In fact, that’s why you can’t get phone calls back from staff either.” � see page 10

‘Culture of disrespect’ Ross Buchanan was compelled to run for mayor because of what he sees as “out-of-control, reckless spending at city hall.” In Surrey’s 2010 financial statement, Buchanan says it refers to a population growth of 4.3 per cent over a five-year period.

Challengers call for representation � from page 9 Buchanan, 59, said it comes from a “culture of disrespect” at city hall toward its citizens, and the cure to that will be a shift in culture that starts from the top. “It starts from the mayor and council respecting the citizens and including the citizens,” he said, noting he believes the mayor could spend less on media communications staff and more on citizen advocates. He also wants to build a city that works for families, rather than catering to big business, and he wants far more bylaw enforcement addressing issues such as illegal construction and secondary suites – “We have bylaws, enforce them.” However, topping Buchanan’s list is catching the attention of senior levels of government. “My number-one priority focus would be representing and fighting for the citizens of Surrey,” Buchanan said. “It’s shameful that we’re at the bottom of the list when it comes to education, we’re at the bottom of the list when it comes to transportation and the bottom of the list when it comes to public health.”
No more land Touraj Ghanbar-zadeh said one of the key issues for him is the overcrowding of schools. “Fifty per cent of schools in Surrey are overcrowded,” the 46-year-old Ganbar-zadeh said. “There’s no immediate plans to deal with this. Everyone is blaming the province.” He said there is no more land to build schools on because the city has allowed it all to be developed. “We should have thought about it a long time ago before issuing permits,” he said. “Now we don’t have land.” Ganbar-zadeh also said it’s getting more and more expensive to live in Surrey. With bridge tolls, gas taxes and higher

property taxes on the way, it’s becoming harder for residents to pay the bills, he said. “This is one thing I don’t think Dianne Watts has negotiated hard enough,” he said. “I always think the mayor has to be a champion for all people, and I don’t think she has been.”
Town hall meetings Clifford Inimgba said immigration is a huge issue. The process, he says, takes too long for people who want to come to this country. Inimgba, 51, said he will “make sure the processes for those people takes shorter.” He also wants to engage the public better by holding town hall meetings. Better transportation is also needed, he said. More bus stops are required, Inimgba said, noting some people have to “walk miles” to catch a bus. “Apart from more bus stops, I want to maintain the SkyTrain and use the buses that are there right now,” he said. He also wants to freeze all taxes, and encourage banks to lend money to small businesses and builders.
Bring on wards Shan Rana wants to see a ward system in Surrey, and he plans to take the city to B.C. Supreme Court to force the system here. Rana, 75, has participated in municipal elections both in Surrey and Toronto. “The reason I participated here, is I didn’t see a ward system which I saw in the rest of Canada,” said Rana, who, in his retirement, describes himself as a professional activist. “This time I’m taking the city and British Columbia government to the Supreme Court to challenge the existing at-large system.”

Under-served by transit Deanna Welters says transit is the big issue for her. The failure of effective transportation in the city is evidenced by the snarls along 88 Avenue during rush hours. If Surrey had a proper light-rail system and fast buses, it would take a lot of pressure off the affected thoroughfares, she said. Welters, 55, notes the use of the interurban rail line, on existing tracks, would also help greatly. With transit, Welters said, “Surrey has been under-served for 40 years.” She also said “lack of a real community sense” is an issue. Referring to an email from a young resident, she said a positive community feel was eroding, which contributes to the amount of gang activity. She thinks Surrey could insist on better building design, pointing to some highrises in Vancouver that have a townhome design on the lower floors. Welters said some North Surrey developments have no front doors, with access through parkades. That, she says, doesn’t add to a feeling of community. Third on her list of issues is the environment. “How are we protecting nature and how many mature trees get cut in this city that really should be spared?” she asked. “We have to think of conservation in this city because it really does matter.” Welters lives near a fish-bearing creek, where several trees have been marked for removal by the stream. Most people think removal of trees from riparian areas is forbidden, but Welters said that’s simply not the case. “We can’t avoid our responsibility,” she said. “Whatever we do comes back to impact us.” Welters also believes Surrey has to deal with its homelessness issue, finding the root causes and helping people overcome them.

Despite the memorial being dedicated to Canadians who died in the historic battle, Nowak said that very few Canadians visit the site – another reason why it’s so important to get involved with Canadian history. “Vimy Ridge is the nicest and biggest memorial to any allied force in World War I – and the Canadians got that in Europe – but out of people who go to visit, Canadians are the minority,” Nowak said. “That’s the whole reason they have the prize, to have people to remember this and the story behind it – how Vimy Ridge was the start of Canadian identity coming together.” According to the Vimy Foundation website (www. vimyfoundation.ca/vimyprize), the competition also builds upon the legacy of Lord Beaverbrook – a prominent Canadian historical figure who rose up from a modest background to become a newspaper publisher, government minister and a friend of Winston Churchill. Students interested in applying for the Beaverbrook Vimy Prize this year have until Dec. 31 at midnight to apply. Applicants must be born in 1995-’97 and must be younger than 18 on Aug. 31, 2012.

Linen sale
Members of the Peace Arch Hospital Auxiliary Society are mending and washing piles of linen for the annual sale taking place this week. The sale has taken hundreds of hours to prepare, said Gladys Laing, a volunteer with the society. “We put in a lot of hours, more than two hundred hours are put in to get the linens, bleach them, wash them, iron them, starch them and mend some of them,” Laing said. This time around, the sale will only be held in the fall, as opposed to previous years when there has been a spring and fall sale. The main reason for the slight cutback is the labour required to prepare the goods, Laing said. “Our membership is aging and we are getting burned out because of all the hours we’ve spent. We have no life except for linen but it’s really appreciated by the community,” said Laing. The sale will be held this week on Nov. 4 (10 a.m.-3 p.m.) and 5 (9 a.m.-1p.m.) at First United Church, 15385 Semiahmoo Ave. All proceeds from the sale will go to the hospital.

White Rock firefighter Evan Bird joins five-year-old Ava Homeyer (right), her sister, Sophie, and dad, Andrew, for a photo with Engine 2 before dropping the siblings off for class at Peace Arch Elementary.
Firefighting fun for a day Ava Homeyer may be only five years old, but she’s well on her way to an impressive resumé. In August, the Peace Arch Elementary student was among nearly 200 young princesses who participated in the second annual Princess Party – a fundraiser for the White Rock Firefighters’ Charity Association which raised more than $10,000 for the cause. Last month, Ava added fire-
fighter to her list of accomplishments, after she and four friends received royal treatment from the local crew: picked up from Ava’s home, they were treated to a pancake breakfast and tour at the firehall, then were whisked to school in true firefighter fashion – lights flashing and sirens blaring. “It was a great event,” said firefighter Eric Kameka.
Kameka said the ‘firefighter for a day’ experience was an auction item from the Princess Party. It was donated to the party by real estate agent Chad Hippsley who made the winning bid for it at Sources’ gala fundraiser, which took place last March. Kameka said firefighters who volunteered to host the family Oct. 19 “had a blast.” - Tracy Holmes

In the report, there are a number of issues that face the current population of seniors in the region, including economic insecurity, social isolation and inaccessible transportation – one of the biggest problems that seniors face, McKnight said. Inaccessible transportation can result in a slew of other problems, including isolation, causing mental health issues and physical problems, further straining the public health sector. The United Way plans to more than double its annual investment for vulnerable seniors in the region to $7 million, but the province needs to step up as well, McKnight said. “It’s a call to action. We are doubling the money and putting it towards the issues of seniors and we hope we can get the provincial government to the table so we can figure out how to collectively address the issues.”

Originally built over a 40-kilometre stretch from Blaine to Browns Landing, across from New Westminster, the trail was used to expedite trade between
the United States and Canada. The trail has seen many changes, such as the ever-growing development in the area, but in 2003 bylaws were set to protect the remaining few kilometres left, Neal said. Shovels and gloves will be provided for the event and refreshments will be available after.

Six receive Citizenship Awards
Students honoured Five Surrey students and one from Langley marked the start of the new school year with accolades, as recipients of education awards from Coast Capital Savings. Surrey residents Gurvir Sangha, Ian Wong, Kendall Korda, Laura Musyj, Samuel Chien and Desiree Wallace all received Citizenship Awards for demonstrating strong leadership within their communities while balancing their academic and personal lives. They were among 48 students from across the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island who had their efforts recognized with awards worth $2,000 to $5,000 each – a total of $144,000. “What a way to start the school year,”
said Musyj, who is currently enrolled at UBC working towards a degree in animal biology. “There are so many deserving recipients this year, I can’t believe that I am being recognized alongside such a talented group.” “I feel a certain responsibility to give back to my community, so to be rewarded for that just propels me to continue with the work that I do both at school and within the community,” said Wong, also a UBC student. Currently, Wong dedicates hours of his time to a laundry list of non-profit organizations including SOS Children’s Village, The Canadian Cancer Society and Special Olympics.

Harness-racing season opens
Renewed hope at Fraser Downs seasons – harness and thoroughbred racing – couldn’t overlap for fear of competing for betting customers at its two B.C. tracks. Lobbying efforts paid off in May, when meetings between Harness Racing B.C. CEO Doug McCallum (former Surrey mayor), cabinet minister Shirley Bond and other officials resulted in a promise of a 10-month racing season for 2012. While next year’s dates are still to be confirmed, there’s a renewed sense of hope for the industry’s future. Veikko Pajunen is relatively new to the world of of Standardbred horse ownership. “We got introduced to it a few years ago, and absolutely love it,” he said, showing off his latest purchase – Red Star Sailor, a massive standardbred who took part in qualifying races Sept. 23, the night before the annual back-

Spring ushered in rallies for reinstating a 10-month harness racing season. A shorter season combined with a long summer break appeared to threaten thousands of jobs across the Fraser Valley and beyond; affecting everyone from breeders in rural B.C. to longtime local racing families. Fraser Downs’ owner, Great Canadian Gaming Corp., was just as adamant that the two racing
stretch open house. “My wife and I like to come down, enjoy a nice meal at the race track, and watch our horses. We invite anybody to come out. It’s a lot of fun.” As many as 600 people turned out for this year’s open house last month, making it the perfect launch for the return of harness racing, director of racing Jackson Wittup said. “We’re excited about what we refer to as our ‘new beginning’,” Fraser Downs general manger Ken Stratton said. Until Sunday, Nov. 13, there is live racing three times a week – Friday nights starting at 7 p.m., and on Saturday and Sunday afternoons at 1:45 p.m., before the schedule reverts to two races a week – Friday nights and Sunday afternoons, except for an afternoon of racing on Boxing Day, Dec. 26.

Q
In your last Legal Tip you said that a lawyer couldn’t transfer a son’s interest in his mother’s home if the purpose was to deprive a creditor of recovery against the home. Isn’t there something that can be done to prevent his mother’s home being sold to pay the son’s debts?
A
Only by a difcult, expensive and very chancy legal action by the mother to prove that the son’s interest was held by him in trust for her. Trust actions are complex and if the son has represented to the creditor either directly or by implication that the interest in the property is “his,” she may well lose. NEW CLIENTS WELCOME

Metro hopes most of the electricity output from the incinerator will be counted as green energy and fetch a higher price under B.C.’s Clean Energy Act. Right now about 63 per cent of the electricity would qualify because it is derived from organic and other non-fossil fuel sources.

Metro Vancouver’s garbage incinerator in south Burnaby is being forced to retool because it can no longer sell steam to an adjacent industrial plant. The Norampac linerboard mill – which was the only buyer of steam from the waste-to-energy plant – will close down in December, parent firm Cascades Inc. announced. That means Metro must upgrade the incinerator at a cost of $4.2 million to turn all of the steam it generates into electricity for sale to the power grid, said Metro utility planning manager Toivo Allas. The incinerator burns 285,000 tonnes of garbage per year and about a third of the steam produced was piped next door to Norampac. Selling steam was more lucrative than selling electricity, so the conversion will cut

Metro backs blocking vote Jeff Nagel Black Press

Thousands of extra housing units are expected to be built on the North Shore in the years ahead. projected to swell to as much as 30,000 on the North Shore alone, some say it’s time for a rethink. The issue was the subject of a report to Metro from the Lower Mainland Treaty Advisory Committee (LMTAC), which recommended excluding reserves. One concern is the voting influence non-natives on reserve could wield in the neighbouring municipality even
though they’re not taxed directly. “As that population grows they could be very influential in the outcome of elections and referenda,” Bowen Island Coun. Peter Frinton said. The 7.5 per cent of West Vancouver voters who live on reserve is projected to climb to as much as 30 per cent of the electorate within 25 years, the LMTAC report said. It warned on-reserve residents could, in

Metro Vancouver is backing a call to redraw municipal boundaries to exclude Indian reserves, a move that would block both aboriginal and non-aboriginal reserve residents from voting or running in future civic elections. The regional district board endorsed that recommendation Oct. 28 and raised concerns about representation and taxation on reserve lands as First Nations aim to build more housing for non-native residents. Local cities have no jurisdiction or taxing authority on reserves, said Belcarra Mayor Ralph Drew, adding it’s therefore wrong to continue the “representation without taxation” allowed under the current system. “There’s a jurisdictional void here that has all kinds of implications,” he said. “We need to ensure full cost recovery and protect the interests of local government taxpayers.” Tens of thousands of non-aboriginal residents are expected to move into housing developments that will be built on First Nations land in the years ahead, particularly on the North Shore. The building boom will be lucrative for native bands that are poised to convert their prime real estate into a steady flow of rental income. But the trend raises issues of fairness. Nonnative reserve residents pay taxes to the First Nation and some of that money flows to neighbouring cities to pay for services, but Drew said the full costs aren’t covered. And those reserve residents pay no property tax to TransLink or Metro Vancouver – effectively getting a free ride on the broader costs of regional transit and utility services, both of which are rising steadily. Nor do they contribute to the education system through school property tax. Such inequities were considered minor when relatively few nonFirst Nation residents lived on reserves. But with their numbers
theory, grow to hold the majority of votes for a city council even though they pay no taxes to the city. Meanwhile, band members are exempt from the taxes their bands levy on nonaboriginal residents, creating yet another case of representation without taxation. Squamish Nation Chief Gibby Jacob appeared before the Metro board to try to allay fears and urge more dialogue. “The reports and the comments made about our people are onesided,” he said. Harold Calla, an administrator and negotiator with the Squamish Nation, told directors he believes service agreements can be fair and address local cities’ concerns. “We do not expect the non-aboriginal taxpayer to subsidize those on reserve,” he said. Calla said it would be “unfortunate and regressive” to deny reserve residents the civic vote.

Elgin Park grad’s debut album nominated for provincial award
Local country singer enjoying breakaway year Alex Browne Arts Reporter
Contributed photo
Country artist Melissa Rae Barrie.
An Elgin Park Secondary grad is among nominees for the 2011 B.C. Country Music Association awards. Melissa Rae Barrie’s debut album, Breakaway, has been nominated for album of the year at the awards, scheduled for Nov. 20 at the Red Robinson Show Theatre in Coquitlam. It’s been a signal year for Barrie – particularly the summer, when in addition to releasing Breakaway, she also wed her fiancé, captain of Chicago Blackhawks’ farm team,
the Rockford Ice Hogs, Brandon Segal. Barrie is no stranger to the world of hockey – had it not been for a string of injuries when she was in her teens, she might have been pursuing a career as a professional hockey player today. But after four major concussions, a broken leg and a slipped hip disc by the time she reached first year college hockey, it was clear her future lay elsewhere. Fortunately, she had started writing poetry and songs as an outlet of expression when she was in her early teens, honing skills
that show up on nine of the 11 songs on Breakaway. Serendipity has also played a part in her new-found, but blossoming, role as recording and touring artist. She was signed to 604 Records – the label founded by Nickleback’s Chad Kroeger and CEO Jonathan Simkin – after contacting them by email, submitting several demos and auditioning a capella for Simkin, who offered her a contract on the spot. Barrie is not one to shy away from using personal experiences to inspire her lyrics for songs like
Unforgivable and Room To Breathe – or let empathy for human frailties inspire songs like Let You Down. But she’s also ready to write escapist pieces to counterbalance the darker side of realism. One such is the upbeat road song Passenger Window, which she penned with co-producer Josh Ramsey of Marianas Trench. She’s also not afraid to cover others’ material when they suit her approach: Lori McKenna’s Adore Her, for example, and Gordie Sampson’s Miss Me For A Minute are both included in Breakaway.
Brothers Dimm reunite

he White Rock Players Club’s annual pantomime is back this holiday season with a twisted take on achildhood favourite, Mother Goose. Playwrights The Brothers Dimm – a.k.a. Tom Saunders, Fred Partridge, Mike Roberds and Jason Dedrick – are reprising their 1997 script, Goose: The Mother Of All Pantos, for a third outing starting this month at Coast Capital Playhouse. The show – produced by Partridge and Lou Tardif – will be similar to the one from 14 years ago, but there have been updates made to ensure the jokes are topical and the ❝We try to references are relevant, make (the Roberds said in an lyrics) fun for uproarious interview joined by his fellow the people watching the scribblers in the Peace Arch News boardroom. pantos.❞ Panto fans returning to see the updated show – Tom Saunders directed by Dave Baron playwright – will be able to see a familiar scene with the traumatic hostagetaking of Mother Goose (played this time out by Nigel Watkinson). “(She) gets kidnapped by a publishing giant and is held hostage in Vegas,” Roberds said. It is up to nursery-rhyme favourites, Jack and Jill, to embark on a journey to bring her back. The music, which Saunders and Dedrick wrote, has also received an update. The pair worked to pen lyrics that would ensure a smooth journey for the audience throughout the story. “The lyrics push the story along, explain a little bit and place the setting for whatever

Mother Goose, played by Nigel Watkinson, is oblivious to her sneaky kidnappers in White Rock Players Club’s annual holiday pantomime. is going on,” Saunders said. “Plus, they’re fun. Well, at least we try to make them fun for the people watching the pantos.” For those who are new to the genre – not to mention White Rock’s unique spin on it – pantomime is a popular form of theatre with roots that date back as far as ancient Greece. The story is usually based on nursery rhymes and fairy tales, but with a twist. Audience members are encouraged to “boo” the bad guys and cheer for the hero, in Goose’s case, Jack (played by Michelle Gatez). The leading male, also referred to as ‘principal boy’, is traditionally played by a young woman, while the older female character, known as a ‘dame’, is played by
the show’s main comedian, usually a man, in drag. White Rock’s first dame was legendary Players Club guru Franklin Johnson, who began the organization’s panto tradition in 1954, and later passed on the wig, rouge and over-the-top wardrobe of the dame to such famous local exponents as Scott Wheeler and Marc Bourrel. Comedy is always a big factor in panto, and devotees know that, while children in the audience will certainly enjoy the elaborate costumes and audience participation, adults will also get a guffaw from double entendres cleverly woven in to the script. Another traditional facet of the pantomime is an animal, usually played by two actors in costume.
In keeping with the Brothers Dimm’s penchant for parody, Goose’s panto animal is a giraffe named Shenanigans. The long-necked beast – which even has its own introductory song – quickly established itself as an audience favourite with the original production of Goose, and has since become a staple of other White Rock pantos. Traditionalists may note the usual panto animal is a horse or a cow, but the Brothers Dimm are loyal to their somewhat impractical (for whoever wears the costume, at least) choice. “A giraffe is better anyways,” Saunders said, trying to sound convincing. It’s another case in which the White Rock show, while it generally sticks to the � see page 36

Annual panto unites community � from page 35 traditions enshrined in panto, occasionally strays from the path, which can miff some diehard fans. “We do get some mixed reaction with our take,” Roberds admitted. “Traditionalists have their views and other people enjoy our sort of ironic take.” But for the four “brothers” the decision to do panto isn’t to win awards and accolades. In fact, their reasoning behind the whole
production is quite simple. “We really only do it because it’s fun and a lot of people get enjoyment out of it each year,” Saunders said. “It brings the whole community together, and that’s the best part.” Mother Goose runs from Nov. 26 to Dec. 26 (select dates) at Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd.

Ottawa-based blues group MonkeyJunk will be back this month to perform at the Rhumba Room at the Pacific Inn Nov. 10. Contributed photo
‘Boogie’ blues trio returns Alex Browne Arts Reporter
One of the White Rock Blues Society’s best-received guest bands is returning for the organization’s 50th show next week. Ottawa-based MonkeyJunk will be serving up what it calls a “generous helping of swamp rhythm and blues, soul boogie and bedroom funk” Nov. 10 at 8 p.m. at the Rhumba Room, Pacific Inn resort (1160 King George Blvd.). Steve Marriner (vocals, harmonica, keyboards, guitar), Tony Diteodoro (lead guitar) and Matt Sobb (drums) have only been working together as a band since
the spring of 2008, but they’ve already notched up a Blues Music award for best new artist debut, a Canadian Independent Music award for best blues artist and five Maple Blues awards in 2010, as electric act of the year, entertainer of the year, guitar player of the year (Diteodoro), plus vocalist of the year and harmonica player of the year (both for Marriner). They also made an impressive third-place showing at the International Blues Challenge. The name derives from a comment made by one of the musicians’ favourite blues artists, Son House (“I’m talkin’ ’bout
the blues. I ain’t talkin’ about Monkey Junk”) which stuck with them and seemed to fit their style, which one reviewer has termed a “hot, sticky, greasy, backwoods folk blues sound.” Even minus a bass player – band members are quick to point out that Hound Dog Taylor didn’t have one either, and Little Walter frequently did without – MonkeyJunk has created a strong reputation for credibility both on disc and in powerhouse, danceable live performances. Tickets are available at Tapestry Music, Surfside Music, the Pacific Inn or online at tickets.surrey.ca

Without a coach and at risk of missing the soccer season, a parent and the team’s captain stepped up to lead the way
Unique leadership drives Mariners Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter
athalie LaRoche didn’t plan on coaching soccer this fall. In fact, she wasn’t focused on doing much else but continue to recover from severe injuries – including a fractured pelvis as well as hip and back problems – suffered in a car accident more than a year ago. The injuries had already caused her to take a medical leave from her job as a Grade 5 teacher at Peace Arch Elementary, and had put her own athletic pursuits, including running and playing women’s soccer, on hold, too. But then she was moved by the words of her teenage son, Maxime, who expressed disappointment that Earl Marriott Secondary – for the second year in a row and the Sean Einarsson third year in the last four – would not be able to field a senior boys soccer team because they did not have a coach. “Last year, they tried to have a team, but things just kind of fell apart,” LaRoche explained. “I was involved in a lot of sports at Peace Arch (EleNathalie LaRoche mentary), but this wasn’t coaches something I planned on doing. But then my son said to me, ‘There’s so much potential in this soccer team.’ “I just thought that, I’m still off work and I have a bit of time between treatments and appointments, and I’d want to watch the games anyway because my son is on the team, so I can do it.” Though Marriott’s would-be team did not play last year – or in Grade 9 as first-year juniors – the core group had found success as a junior team in 2009, making it all the way to Fraser Valley finals before losing in overtime on an unfortunate own-goal. A few days later, LaRoche, not wanting to see her son or his Mariners teammates disappointed again, volunteered to take the helm of the team, but with a catch: she would be the coach in title only. The rest was up to the boys. “I wanted to make it clear right away that I could not physically coach. I can’t be out there

The Mariners are in playoffs this week. on the field at practice, I don’t move equipment or nets or anything like that – I told the boys they would have to do these things if they wanted to play,” she explained. “I’ve played soccer all my life, but I told them that, at this point, they probably know more about the game than I do anyway, so go ahead, have your team.” LaRoche organized tryouts, and took the lead in choosing the final roster, but the dayto-day coaching duties – including running practices and deciding on in-game strategy – were soon taken over by, of all people, one of the players, Grade 12 centre-midfielder Sean Einarsson, one of the team’s most experienced
players. “It was a gradual thing… no one appointed me. It was just little things I’d kind of take control of, and it went from there,” Einarsson, who plays men’s soccer with Surrey United, told Peace Arch News. “It’s been pretty smooth. I’ve known these guys for so long – we’ve went to school together for five years, played together… it’s been really good.” LaRoche said having Sean as the de facto leader of the team was a no-brainer, considering his talent and experience, and she says there’s been no issues between Sean and his peers, who are suddenly taking instruction
from one of their own. “We haven’t had any problems. None at all,” she said. “They all have one thing in common – they want to win. And I think they really look up to Sean because they know how good he is, how much experience he has. He really is an amazing player, so when he talks, they listen, and want to learn.” Through five games, EMS has two wins, one loss and a pair of ties, with the most impressive result coming earlier this month, when they tied first-place South Delta 2-2; until that game, South Delta had not allowed a single � see page 45

White Rock weightlifter wins big in Mexico; sets sights on world championships
Girard strikes gold at Pan-Ams Gary Ahuja Black Press
Gary Ahuja photo
Christine Girard shows off her gold medal.
Like a typical little sister, Christine Girard followed her older sister, Caroline, into weightlifting. She was 10 years old and knew little about the sport. “For the first few months, I was just lifting a stick,” she admits. “I was learning the technique.” Eventually, she added weights to the bar and in her first competition, she lifted 32 kilograms. She did far better than that at the Pan American Games in Mexico last week. The 26-year-old White Rock resident — who was competing in the 63-kg weight class — hoisted 238 kilograms to claim the gold medal. She edged Colombia’s Esther Palomeque by three kilograms. “I was so happy, I had tears in my eyes when I heard the national anthem,” Girard recounted Friday afternoon at Hybrid-Athletics, a new gym in Langley where Girard trains and coaches. “I went (to the Pan Am Games) and it was my goal to get the gold medal; it felt so good to achieve it.” Standing five-foot-three and weighing 140 pounds, Girard doesn’t match people’s perceptions of what a competitive weightlifter should look like. “A lot of people don’t believe I am an Olympic weightlifter when they see me,” she said. There are also the stereotypes of the sport’s past association with drug scandals.
Once a month, Girard submits to drug testing, with the tester showing up at her White Rock home unannounced. But none of that is enough to stop Girard from chasing her dream. Girard has competed in more than 75 competitions since the start of her career and she holds Canadian junior and senior records in her weight class. She also holds Commonwealth and Pan Am Games records. This was her third Pan Am Games, previously placing eighth in 2003 and second in 2007. It was at Commonwealth Games in 2002 that Girard first set her sights on winning gold at a major competition. “I decided then in my head that one day, that would happen to me,” she said. Girard leaves for Paris this week, where she will compete at the senior world championships. “The pressure is on (at the world championships) with this being an Olympic year,” she said. A victory would secure a spot for Canada at next summer’s Olympic Games in London. Girard competed at the 2008 Games in Beijing, placing fourth. She is cautiously optmistic heading into the world championships. “It is good to be on a high, but the doubt is always there,” she said. “We always (have) doubt and we are always confident at the same time. “It is a good mix of emotions.”

Soccer playoffs begin this week a change from playing with Surrey United, where he’s one of the league’s youngest players. “Playing with the men, I’m in my learning stage, so everyone’s talking to me on the field, trying to help me out – I’m the one being coached,” he explained. “But then I come here, and it’s the opposite perspective. I just try to apply what I’m told playing with the men’s team to these games.” His ability to balance both playing and coaching has impressed EMS athletic director Adam Roberts, who said it takes a special kind of player to do what Einarsson’s doing.
“Sometimes, you’ll have older students helping coach younger ones at the same school, but it’s very rare to have someone coaching their peers,” he said. “Being a player-coach in any sport, at any level, is really hard. You have to have a lot of maturity and most important, the respect of your peers, and Sean has that. “He’s very well thought of here at the school, and it’s really cool to see him doing so well.” The Mariners beat Elgin Park 4-0 last week at EMS, and began playoffs Tuesday against Abbotsford, but results were not available by Peace Arch News deadlines.

Sean was coaching them on the field, telling them where to go, what to do… he was very vocal.” Though Einarsson says the transition to player-coach has been a smooth one, he admitted it’s quite

KERR, Nancy Leanne (Nesbitt) Of White Rock, BC passed away peacefully at Peace Arch Hospital on October 31, 2011 following a long battle with breast cancer. Nancy was 58 years old. Born in Regina, Saskatchewan to Doreen and Rick Nesbitt, she grew up in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Following graduation from Westwood Collegiate in Winnipeg, she moved to Vancouver and began a career flying with Pacific Western Airlines. After raising her family Nancy returned to work at Morgan Creek Golf course and enjoyed many years there. Her biggest joy in life was being a mother. She is survived by her husband Norman Kerr, her son Keith Svenkeson (Kristina), son Scott Svenkeson (Kristin), sister Mary Lou Jennings (Dean), a large extended family, and her beloved cat Nipper. A Celebration of Life will be held 1 PM, Sunday, November 6th at Morgan Creek Golf Course, 3500 Morgan Creek Way, Surrey, BC. Donations in Nancy’s memory can be made to White Rock Hospice, 15510 Russell Ave, White Rock, BC, V4B2R3 or Peace Arch Hospital Foundation, 15521 Russell Ave, White Rock, BC, V4B 2R4. The family would like to thank all those friends and community members who supported Nancy and her family through this journey. We are grateful for the medical care she received from Dr. Kason, Dr. Shukin and the doctors and staff at BC Cancer Center. We would especially like to thank Morgan Creek Golf Course for their support and friendship over these past years. You have been truly amazing. End of the Day When I come to the end of the day, and the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom filled room, why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little, but not too long and not with your head bowed low, remember the love we once shared. Miss me but let me go. For this is a journey we all must take and each must go alone. It’s all part of the Maker’s Plan, a step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick at heart go to the friends we know and bury your sorrows in doing good deeds. Miss me but let me go.
Nancy will always be remembered for her caring spirit, her gentle way and her great sense of humor.

Gladys
nee: Bergquist April 27, 1915 ~ Oct. 20, 2011
Passed away in White Rock on October 20th, 2011 in her 97th year. Gladys will be remembered for her great faith in Christ and the extraordinary love that she had for those around her. She will be sorely missed by family and friends, but we are confident that she is now in God’s good care. Thanks to the many who had supported her with their love and prayers, particularly since she had entered Peace Arch District Hospital in late August. Dr. Gibbings and Dr. Pretty have been most caring, as have all the hospital staff that attended her. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, Nov. 12 at 1:00 p.m. at Peace Portal Alliance Church at 15128 - 27B Ave., Surrey, BC, southwest corner of 152 St. and King George Blvd. Wiebe & Jeske (604) 857 0711
NICOLAY, Marcus Grenville 1923-2011 Marcus passed away peacefully at home at the age of 88 on October 16, 2011. Predeceased by his first wife in 1971. Survived by his wife of 38 years, Maud Wieland. Born on May 4, 1923 in Western Australia, to Arthur and Violet Nicolay, he joined the Royal Australian Air Force in 1942, at age 19. Marcus was commissioned to Pilot Officer in 1944; posted to England and attached to RAF where he served with Bomber Command 149 Squadron - Fortis nocte - flying 29 Sorties during WW11 in the Avro Lancaster and, on May 3, 1945, his final Lancaster flight, supply drops over The Hague, The Netherlands. After termination of service on the active list of the RAAF, in January 1946, he returned to Australia. In late 1946, Marcus accepted a position as a pilot with KNILM Royal Netherlands Indies Airways - Dutch East Indies, later Indonesia. After the takeover of KNILM by KLM (Royal Dutch Airlines), Marcus moved to the Netherlands in 1948 and began a career that spanned 33 years of service with KLM, retiring in 1979. Captain Nicolay flew world-wide and became engineering pilot on the DC8, and later DC10, aircraft. We are grateful for his long and happy life. He was a true gentleman, who lovingly took care of “his Maud”, for many years until he became unable to do so in his final years. Cremation has taken place and his wish to have his ashes taken back to Perth (Karrakatta Cemetery) will be fulfilled at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Alzheimer Society of BC would be appreciated. Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre 604-536-6522
