New ER high on list in Peace Arch Hospital plan Alex Browne Staff Reporter
A new project, announced Monday by the Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation and Fraser Health, is aimed at strategizing the creation of a new ER at the hospital – as well as mapping its future as far ahead as 2030.
“This is a big step forward in terms of moving the ER project up. It’s about having all the partners saying ‘yes, let’s get a plan in place,’” said foundation executive director Jackie Smith. The foundation has committed $57,500, half of the $115,000 cost projected for developing a
site master plan for the facility. The remaining 50 per cent will be funded by Fraser Health. “It’s a lot of money, but it is an investment in the health of our community,” Smith said, adding the plan examines the site from an overall perspective of potential and needs. “It’s making sure that good
solid planning is in place.” The four-to-six-month project is designed to review the current state of the site and provide a clear planning and operational vision for expanding and improving services at the hospital. But high on that agenda is the expansion of the emergency
department – in co-ordination with Fraser Health’s region-wide network of services. That means ensuring that the hospital’s new ER, for which the foundation is actively fundraising, zeroes in on the community’s present and future needs, foundation � see page 4

A mother and grandmother recalled their pain dealing with the death of four-year-old Alexa Middelaer, at a sentencing hearing Monday for the impaired driver who killed her. Prosecutors asked Surrey Provincial Court Monday morning to sentence Carol Berner, 58, to three to five years in prison. The defence asked for no jail time.

MS patient doing well after Mexican treatment Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Breathing is easier, talking is less of a chore and her feet are no longer purple – a week in Mexico has done Cathy Clements a world of good. The South Surrey woman returned from a week in the southern country’s warmth last month. But she is confident the good weather isn’t to credit for her marked improvement in health. As reported in the Oct. 6 Peace Arch News, Clements, a long-time multiple sclerosis sufferer, planned to travel to Mexico to receive treatment for chronic cerebrospinal venus insufficiency, a condition describing blocked or malformed veins that prevent or inhibit the draining of blood from the brain. A year ago, Italian researcher Dr. Paolo Zamboni announced his belief CCSVI is linked to MS, after patients in which he performed a procedure similar to angioplasty showed substantial improvement – from a decrease in new MS attacks to a reduction in the number of sufferers’ brain lesions. The procedure isn’t available in Canada, where the MS Society, Health Canada and provincial health services are awaiting more research data supporting its effectiveness. But, eager for a return of any of the freedoms her progressive MS has stolen since her diagnosis in 1997, Clements decided to take her health into her own hands. With the help of friends who organized a fundraiser at Sawbucks Pub to cover the costs, Clements underwent the treatment Oct. 14 in Los Cabos. Of two others at the “pretty bare bones” hospital for the same reason, Clements, who has been confined to a wheelchair for 4½ years, was the most disabled by the disease, she said. She noticed improvement in her circulation and movement almost immediately after the “fairly painful” 90-minute procedure. “I noticed the feet right away; the feet not being purple,” she said. “And being able to eat easier, lift my arm right to my mouth. As well, since her return home, Clements’

legs, usually freezing from the knee down, aren’t cold anymore. Pleased with the results, the 50-year-old is hopeful she will see even more improvement as time goes by. Regardless, the trip was “definitely” worthwhile. “Any little thing for someone with MS is big,” she said. Clements said her frustration at having to leave Canada to find the relief has only increased since her return. She is determined to do what she can to raise awareness of its benefits. “It seems ridiculous to have to go to other countries, spend that kind of money, just to have circulation, breathe properly. I want to get on board to find out what I can do to help out. “Something so simple, I just don’t know why they don’t do it here. It’s not rocket science.”

Caregivers told most vulnerability comes from middle-class neighbourhoods
Helping children estimated at $3 billion Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
It’s not too late to turn the tide to give local children the best shot at being successful, UBC’s Joanne Schroeder told childcare providers and community leaders. But it won’t be cheap, Schroeder said as a crowd of about 60 gathered at the White Rock Community Centre last month to discuss the downward trend and brainstorm ideas to address it. “Definitely, to have a significant impact... we need public investment,” said Schroeder, putting the provincial need at $3 billion. “It’s not that we don’t have the money, we’re just not making it a reality.” Schroeder – deputy director of UBC’s Human Early Learning Partnership – was invited to speak by members of White Rock’s health and social committee, after a report by HELP showed a noted decline in the social competence and emotional maturity of kindergarten children on the Peninsula. The local results are not atypical – statistics
show province-wide, 30 per cent of children are vulnerable – nor are they a snapshot of how schools are doing, Schroeder said. The data is a measure of early childhood development – “a reflection of what came before.” The earlier worrisome trends can be identified and steps taken to intervene, the better, Schroeder said. She debunked a myth that children living in poverty are most at risk. Of those deemed vulnerable, the majority live in middle-class neighbourhoods, she said. Forum attendees questioned the impact of the increased use of technology on children’s communication skills, and Schroeder agreed it is affecting their ability to connect with others. Citing a “skyrocketing” increase in speech and language difficulties, she said children are too often given the message “that they have no responsibility to be part of a dialogue.” Sources’ Yvonne Adebar suggested change needs to start in the home, with more one-

on-one quality time and less “stuff.” “They don’t need stuff, they need you,” she said. “If we can start at that level, you’re going to see a ripple effect.” Asked what other communities are doing right that White Rock can learn from and adapt for its own use, Schroeder said it takes getting decision-makers at the table, and an ability to move resources where they’re
needed in the community. “It really is about investing in those early years. They really do direct our life course. If we do it right, it’s really going to make a difference. I really think we’re at a point where we can turn the tide of some of the challenges we have.” The forum was invitation-only, however, White Rock Coun. Lynne Sinclair, a former teacher and member of the city’s health and social committee, said involving parents and other community members in the discussion is an important next step in addressing gaps in services. Several attendees described the forum as a good first step. “The fact that we’re all under one roof right now and talking about the issue is huge,” said Erin Balmer, community service provider with the City of Surrey. “It sort of reminds you why we’re doing what we’re doing,” added Nadia Hasan, director of Core Education and Fine Arts, a junior kindergarten school in South Surrey.
Legions remember
Paying tribute Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter
If the success of a local legion’s poppy campaign is any indication of people’s readiness to commemorate those who served in war, this Remembrance Day will be marked by thousands in South Surrey and White Rock. Royal Canadian Legion Crescent Branch 240 had already sold 15,000 pins by the end of last week, and campaign chairman Percy Smith hoped to reach 40,000, surpassing last year’s total of 36,000. “We want to thank everybody who buys a poppy,” he said, noting money raised goes back into the community. “It’s all about remembrance and remembering, and those who are wearing a poppy symbolize that they remember what took place during the three wars.” Services are planned in area elementary and secondary schools this week, and two Remembrance Day events are being offered on the Peninsula to the general public. Royal Canadian Legion Crescent Branch 240, 2643 128 St., will begin its commemoration Nov. 11 at 10:30 a.m. with speeches, followed by a fly-past of vintage

RCL White Rock Branch 8 will kick off a parade Nov. 11 at 9:30 a.m. from the corner of Johnston Road and Roper Avenue.
Musicians, cadets, veterans and dignitaries are to make their way to First United Church, 15385 Semiahmoo Ave., for a service. At 10:40 a.m., the procession will head to the cenotaph outside city hall, 15322 Buena Vista Ave., where two minutes of silence will
be observed. After speeches and the singing of O Canada by the White Rock Youth Ambassadors, wreaths will be laid at the memorial. The legion’s Paul Charlton said up to 2,000 people usually attend. “It’s Remembrance Day and it’s
to remember all the veterans that suffered and died fighting in any way in… the defence of freedom.” In nearby Cloverdale, a Remembrance Day ceremony will take place at 10:30 a.m. at the Cloverdale Cenotaph at the Surrey Museum plaza, 17710 56A Ave.
Driver turned in front of patrol car: RCMP
Minor injuries for police officer in crash Brian Giebelhaus photo
Emergency crews respond to officer’s plight.
A Surrey RCMP officer was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries Thursday evening, following a crash at 152 Street and 20 Avenue. One witness at the scene told Peace Arch News the officer was southbound on 152 Street when she collided with a northbound black Mazda CX9 at 20 Avenue.
The collision occurred around 10 p.m. According to police, the Mazda – which had a green ‘N’ on the back – turned left onto 20 Avenue in front of the patrol car. Impact to the patrol car’s front passenger side was enough to deploy the vehicle’s air bag. Damage to both cars was minimal. Occupants of the Mazda, whose ages and
city of residence were not available, were not injured. The officer, who has about two years’ service, was expected to return to duty “in short order,” said Const. Peter Neily. Investigation is ongoing. Neily noted it was too early to say if charges or violation tickets will be issued in connection with the crash. –Tracy Holmes

Current ER beyond capacity: Smith � from page 1 board chair Jane Manning said. At present, the foundation is still fundraising to support its current wish list, the $32-million Partners In Caring campaign, launched in 2007. Some $1 million each must still be raised for the hospital’s new maternity ward and the community Centre for Active Living before a new emergency department can become the priority. But Smith said she is confident
that ongoing fundraising will continue to reduce these costs in the four to six months it will take to complete the plan. Acknowledging that the Partners In Caring campaign was “a very big challenge” to the community, Smith noted that more than $24 million of the funds needed for its five specific goals – which could not be placed on a timeline at the outset of the campaign – have already been raised three years later.
The first two goals, 56 more acute care beds and a new MRI, were reached in 2008 and 2009 respectively, while the maternity ward is expected to be complete at the end of this year, and the Centre for Active Living at the beginning of 2011, Smith added. “The ER is the fifth and final project on the list,” she said. “The (current) ER is beyond capacity – it is a major priority for the community, for Fraser Health and our facility.”

Portion of park to be sold Kevin Diakiw Black Press
The City of Surrey is selling 57 acres of a massive park it bought 12 years ago. In 1998, Surrey council went against advice of the then-general manager of parks Don Hunter and purchased a 437-acre parcel of property south of Panorama Ridge for $15 million. The acquisition exhausted the city’s annual parks acquisition budget for that year. “If the land is not purchased by the city, the owner would only be able to develop a portion as a golf course (which has pub-
lic benefits) while retaining the remainder in its present state or as active farmland, thus virtually maintaining the status quo,” Hunter argued in a confidential memo obtained by Black Press at the time. Last week, 12 years after the initial purchase, Surrey council decided to sell 57 acres of the property because its only use has been as farmland. “When we purchased the property it came in a large parcel,” said Laurie Cavan, current general manager of parks, recreation and culture. “In order to secure the area we wanted as park, we
had to take this parcel at time of purchase.” Since the time of purchase, the 57 acres has either been for rent or lease for the purposes of agriculture. The rest of the park – west of King George Boulevard to about 134 Street – is a mixture of trails, wildlife enhancement areas and wetland. Cavan could not say at this time what the purchase price will be as there are multiple bidders on the property. Council also authorized the purchase of an 8.5-acre “notch” of land needed for a contiguous park.

Slow speed a danger, too
A
change in the topography near the BNSF line on East Beach begs more questions than it settles. Residents would be well within their rights to ask what the delay was in moving landscaping the railway believed posed a risk to the public. The landscaping, on a strip of railway land stretching some 400 metres from the Grand Chief Bernard Charles Memorial Plaza (the totems) eastward, was ripped up only last week by city crews. But the original request from BNSF to remove grass, trees and shrubbery on its land came to the city in a letter in July. When the original request received no response from the city, the railway renewed it in late October, with a plea that it be made a priority, which led to the work at the beginning of this month. While that work may have addressed BNSF’s concerns, that’s still three months in which a potentially fatal hazard continued to exist – during some of the busiest weeks of the year along Marine Drive. If the BNSF concerns are to be taken seriously – and apparently they are, given that the remedial work is being done – that’s three months of picnickers and young children wandering near the tracks, lulled into a false sense of security by a park-like ambience. Which also begs the question of why such landscaping was done by the city on railway land in the first place, some two years ago. Clearly, the work predates the tenure of city engineering and municipal operations director Rob Thompson, who assumed his duties in February and said he is not familiar with the history of landscaping in the area. BNSF spokesperson Gus Melonas, too, would not discuss specifics of the landscaping, but said the railway was pleased the city was dealing with vegetation that “did not meet company standards.” But that, it seems, included numerous reports from railway workers of close calls, and complaints the tress and shrubbery obscured sightlines in an area made attractive to picknickers, before the alarm was sounded. Melonas has said the railway likes to consider the relationship between it and the City of White Rock a partnership. But if it’s a partnership, it’s one that seems to be moving at a glacial pace where safety is concerned. Unfortunately that’s not the pace – even with all due attention to safety practised by the railway – that trains travel through populous areas of White Rock.

he intends to have it in place as soon as possible, perhaps by the end of the year. It will be nothing like the Ontario program, which heavily subsidizes farmers for putting solar panels in their fields, Bennett said. The B.C. program will subsidize development of emerging sources, particularly those using wood waste. “You put a First Nation together with a community that’s lost a bunch of jobs from the pine beetle, together with a form of electricity producing technology, and as long as you can generate the electricity for a reasonable price, you might have a winning project,” Bennett said. “That to me is how you encapsulate the feed-in tariff program.” For years there has been debate about the decline of small communities, loss of industrial jobs and wildfire management in B.C.’s vast hinterlands. In short, how do you keep smaller, remote communities economically viable, and how do they protect themselves from fire? Here, at least, is a plan that offers a way to tackle the problem of accumulated forest fuel, waste from traditional logging, and jobs and energy supply in remote areas. It will be subsidized by the vast majority of electricity users who enjoy the benefits of the urban economy. There will be plenty of talk in the weeks to come about Campbell’s legacy. The income tax cuts, the HST, both are designed to create an environment for private investment and employment. The resource development plan may be the most important piece of the puzzle.

Obligated to enforce rules
We care for one another
Editor: Re: Frustration builds over suites, Nov. 3. What your article failed to mention was that hundreds of new homeowners were required to sign the restrictive covenants created by the City of Surrey in the developer’s development proposal of new lots. When a mayor of a city signs and brings into action the restrictive covenants, surely the city has the obligation to enforce these restrictions as if it was law. Unfortunately, that is not so, as complaining homeowners are told that they themselves have to take legal action against the offenders. Let’s face it, mayor and council are probably afraid to lose votes from the biggest offenders of this problem. The main reason we invested in our property in Chantrell Park was because of the restrictive covenants applied to this purchase. We did not want to experience what had taken place in most areas of Surrey. Fat chance. Ernest Brauer, Surrey
Editor: We read in the news every day about the bad in our communities, but rarely about the good, caring individuals who are the majority of our citizens. On Friday, Oct. 29, my daughter was called to pick up my wife from work as she was having flu symptoms. On Highway 99, my wife went into distress, my daughter called 911 hands-free and the operator told her to pull over and get my wife out of the car and lie
her flat on the side of the road, check her vital signs and then wait until the ambulance came. In shock, she did as she was told. Right away, three strangers who did not know each other stopped to help. Two men performed CPR until the paramedics arrived, and a woman comforted my daughter. Little did we know that my wife was having a major heart attack. These strangers took time out of their busy day to help a woman in distress on the side of the road and saved my wife’s life. The paramedics arrived, took over and transported her to Vancouver General Hospital. My wife is recovering well each day thanks to these three heroes
and to the paramedics and firemen from Richmond and the wonderful doctors and nurses at VGH. We would like to thank our angels personally but we do not have their full names. What a wonderful community we live in! D. MacLellan, South Surrey ■ A sincere thank you to the couple who came to my rescue after my fall in the Semiahmoo parking lot Oct. 16. They called the ambulance and made sure I was cared for. Sorry for the bloodied jacket. Want to let you know I’m fine now. Was well taken care of by medics and our wonderful Peace Arch Hospital.

There must be a better way Editor: I’m writing about Surrey’s hospitals and, specifically, Peace Arch Hospital and its backwards ways of dealing with its mass daily overflow of patients. Someone has to take actual responsibility for this mess and there must be a better solution. I have lived here practically my entire 30 years, and last night was the worst example of an extremely messy medical display. I had recently undergone surgery and am experiencing breathing difficulty. Because it was 5:30 p.m., my doctor decided it best that I go right to Peace Arch Hospital to get routine – though necessary – bloodwork that would determine if I had any post-op clotting in my lungs. When I got to the hospital, the lab was closed. So I followed through to emergency and explained that I do not need to see a doctor but have been urgently advised to get blood work marked stat on it. I was not so politely told the wait would be four to six hours! Looking at the overflow of patients, I wondered if the very ill should be corralled together with those patiently waiting, possibly making the potential pending flu season worse. I opted to head home and take my chances that it could be a potential blood clot in my lung over picking up something worse, considering my recent surgery. It made me really wonder why we don’t demand a better system in place for everyone. That’s my rant. I’m just astounded, but I know I’m not the only one. C. Bailey, Surrey

Percy Smith watches Yvan Theriault and Lesley Maudsley lay wreathes at Crescent Legion’s services in 2007.
It’s more than just a list of names
Percy Smith, second vice-president of the Royal Canadian Legion Crescent Branch 240, will speak during Thursday’s Remembrance Day service at 10:30 a.m. at the branch, 2643 128 St. This is an abridged version of his speech. There are times when the path of the world is turned by the smallest events – a single idea, a single choice or the actions of a single person. And there are times when our path is turned by the raw courage of thousands. This year marks the 65th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, which began in 1939. Most young men and women enlisted to serve their county. My service began in 1942, as I was too young to enlist in 1939. I chose serving with the British Merchant Navy, as I was always fond of the sea, and Merchant ships travelled more widely that the Royal Navy. It is not that my service was without danger. The Battle of the Atlantic was at its height, and I witnessed much horror on the high seas that kept us all on edge. The sea is cruel at all times and not for the faint of heart. Combined with the actions of the U-boats, it was also ruthless and, to a person of my age at that time, a nightmare. Nothing can comprehend the destruction of hundreds of ships and human life, and I consider my survival as a miracle. Many a sleepless night was spent on deck, fully clothed, awaiting the inevitable. The war seemed to drag on forever. Serving on a tanker, we eventually found our way into Aden in the Persian Gulf, when news reached us that the war in Europe was over. That was May 8, 1945. Thoughts of home were immediately dashed when we were dispatched to the Far East to be part of the British and Allied force that liberated Burma and Singapore. One can never forget the scenes of battle, the terrible devastation, the displays of courage and generosity, the intense suffering, the moments of serenity and laughter in the midst of chaos and horror. For those who were not there, the war came home
through the works of combat photography, whose stark black-and-white pictures showed what the war looked like. The impact of these pictures is as powerful today as it ever was in reminding us of the terrible cost of war. To look now at these same scenes today is to understand much about the human capacity for resilience, about the power of time to heal and, above all, the meaning of peace to those of us who have known war. I want to recognize some of the events of the Second World War, and in Korea, where more than 26,000 Canadians who travelled halfway around the world to fight with the United Nations. I wish to share this moment also with those who are serving in Afghanistan and the 154 who have given up their lives so far. Lastly, I wish to recognize the part played by those frontline men and women who serve us today. The RCMP, our police forces, firefighting and paramedic services. To all of you, thank you. The loss of a friend or comrade is never easy. As a serviceman, one is prepared for death. But when you see death, you are taken by surprise. So when we gather here today at our memorial, which is just a list of names, it’s an acknowledgement, not only to those who have given their lives, but also to their families, loved ones and friends whose lives have been torn apart by their deaths. The memorial gives us somewhere to come, and remember, if we need to. This is an emotional day for us veterans, but it is also a day for reflection. We were there. We felt the cold sting of the ocean and the chill hand of fear. We fought and struggled and fell amidst the chaos of battle. We lost friends and brothers, and tasted the bitterness of war. But as we look around us here today, young and old, all of us are here today and all across Canada because of the sacrifice of a few. It falls on every one of you to recognize the courage, to honour the sacrifice and to uphold peace which today is all about. Percy Smith, Surrey

“spent a lot of time painting that wall,” Smith said. Customers, including seniors who shop with their young grandchildren, have commented on the offensive markings and language, he said. As the time and expense involved makes cleanup a challenge, accepting the offer of Tuesday’s work was a “no-brainer,” he said. “By getting the kids to come by, that’s really helped a lot,” he added. “We couldn’t say no.” It also made sense from the perspective of school administrators, said EMS viceprincipal Ed Chow. Students can earn community service credit for the hours they spend helping on such projects, and it looks good on a resumé, Chow said. At the same time, they learn a little about work outside of high school and set an example for their peers. “The realize sometimes that school is not about just academics, not about doing well in class, although that is important,” he said. “Maybe inspire other students to say, ‘You know what? …we don’t like what’s going on, we want to help out.’” Business owners interested in getting involved may contact Derrick at 778593-3223.

Local grad receives business award An Elgin Park Secondary grad named student entrepreneur of the year was just one of several locals to be recognized by the Surrey Board of Trade last week. Ben Brown-Bentley was among eight Surrey Business Excellence Award recipients, along with the Peninsula’s Murdoch Jewellers and Endurance Wind Power Inc. Brown-Bentley, currently an engineering student at Simon Fraser University, was presented the honour at the Nov. 4 awards night by Jane Fee, associate dean of SFU’s faculty of arts and social sciences. The 20-year-old runs Adrenaline Productions, an events production company he started two years ago that specializes in all-age and late night dance events. Working with the city, nightclub and police, Adrenaline licenses a normally 19+ nightclub to remove all alcohol and allow teens to party safely in a secure environment. “Adrenaline is the first company in the Lower Mainland to offer teen dance events at a nightclub,” BrownBentley said in a release. Murdoch Jewellers won in the the small business, 1-5 employees category.

Endurance Wind Power Inc. won for large business, 21+ employees. Founded in 2007 by Glenn Johnson, the company is a manufacturer of advanced wind turbines designed specifically for distributed wind power applications. Their technology is described as
having enabled Surrey and Canada to be showcased on the global stage. Awarded Surrey’s business person of the year was chartered accountant Arvinder Bubber. Bubber owns his own firm, A.S. Bubber & Associates, and is the founding chancellor of Kwantlen Polytechnic University, which sponsored the awards night with TD Bank. Bubber was nominated for his “very strong sense of community and taking care of those within it. Arvinder is very passionate about making education accessible to those who otherwise would not have the opportunity.” The awards ceremony was staged at the Sheraton Vancouver Guildford. Other winners announced last night were: • Van der Zalm and Associates (medium business, 6-20 employees).

lifestyles Friends, family, dignitaries attend Dorothy Hayes’ 100th birthday
Senior celebrates milestone with big bash Alex Browne Staff Reporter
It wouldn’t be right to call Dorothy Hayes 100 years old – as anyone who meets her soon realizes, she’s really 100 years young. Born on Oct. 27, 1910, the busy resident of Evergreen Heights assisted-living facility celebrated a century of life last month in typical style with cake and song – and even took a turn around the dance floor. Birthday greetings were offered by telegram from the queen, as well as Gov. Gen. David Johnston, MP Russ Hiebert and MLA Gordon Hogg, while personal greetings came from 70 people, including residents, staff and many well wishers from the community. “It was quite a crowd,” said Hayes, who has lived in the White Rock area almost 30 years. “There were people from the Peace Arch A Cappella Chorus there and other friends from outside.” Family greetings were also plentiful – while Hayes has never married, her younger sister’s family in Calgary now includes many great grandnieces and nephews. The always-active Hayes doesn’t do quite as much singing these days, but as recently as a year ago she was front and centre at all of the chorus’ Sweet Adelines barbershop-style performances – including the International Contest in Calgary in 2007, where the group claimed the bronze medal for third place. “I still love singing,” she said, “But I don’t get out as much – it’s transportation, mostly, as I’m not using a car and getting up stairs is a bit more of a challenge.” Born in Dauphin, Man., Hayes was only about a month old when her father’s work

necessitated a family move to Gladstone. “My Dad was a railroad man – he was a telegrapher for the CNR,” she recalled. “He later moved us to Winnipeg – we were city dwellers from the time I was around three or four.” Aside from a spill down the stairs from the
Women’s Health, Wealth and Wellness Day
second storey of her home when she was four – which the resilient Hayes overcame easily – she remembers an idyllic suburban childhood full of snow and winter sports. “I enjoyed it – there was lots of cold weather but it’s something you get used to. I didn’t mind the cold. I did a lot of skating – in a small neighborhood every vacant lot was flooded for a skating rink.” She faced more challenges as a high school graduate with limited funds in the late 1920s, she said. “At that time, after you got out of high school, you had to look for a job, and there were not very many openings for high school kids. “My choice would have been to train as a teacher or a nurse, but that would have meant going back east.” Instead she opted for the Dominion Business College in Winnipeg, from which she graduated after a couple of terms with a sure grasp of filing, secretarial and reception skills. Hayes skills finally won her a job in a doctor’s office, she said. “There were no computers back then. I used an old Underwood typewriter. It’s a lot easier now with computers.” ` She stayed on as a valuable employee in Winnipeg through the Great Depression and the Second World War. Her break came in 1962, and unlike her sister – who had moved to Calgary for a job and never thought about living anywhere else – Hayes went right across the country to B.C. “It’s a funny thing,” she said. “Some very good friends of mine who had lived In Manitoba moved to the coast. They said to
me one day, ‘when are you going to move to God’s country?’ I quit my job and left – it was a case of ‘now or never.’” Hayes moved to Victoria, where she became secretary to the merchandising manager of the Eaton’s department store. She stayed in that job until she retired in 1971. After retiring, Hayes moved to the White Rock area and it was around the same time that she got involved in Sweet Adelines’ a cappella harmony singing. Among her favourites in the Peace Arch Chorus repertoire are a moving version of Amazing Grace and an uptempo Chattanooga Choo Choo, she said. “My favourite music? I enjoy the symphony or classical. I’m not much for pop.” She adds she believes an interest in music, and the challenges of part singing and sight reading have helped keep her young. But she says taking a lively interest in life is important for everyone. “You’ve got to keep active and participate,” she said. “You have to be part of things – that’s how you get to know people. I don’t want to sit and watch TV all the time.” Hayes was also a member of the Peace Arch Hospital auxiliary Dogwood Satellites group (now disbanded) and still volunteers occasionally at the Superfluity Store. “You’re never too old to lend a helping hand,” she said. She’s also a member of the congregation of St. John’s Presbyterian, which also held a birthday party in her honour last week. “I’m really blessed,” she said. “I have reasonably good health and all that. I just trust in the Lord and live each day as it comes – one day at a time.”

Helping hands of hospice W
local flavours
hile Anita Colley may have recently retired from a long career with the Peace Arch News, she is still a strong force in the community. Last summer, the awardKristyl Clark winning advertisement representative bid farewell to the PAN office – her second home for the past 20 years – to embark on a new journey with the White Rock Hospice Society as the director of fundraising and community relations. For Colley, 54, the benefits of the new part-time position are twofold. “Working for hospice is an opportunity to still stay active in the community that I love and grew up in, but also to help out an important non-profit organization that does so much for the people here,” said the mother of two grown sons. “Everyone is touched by death at some point, whether it is a grandparent or a friend – hospice helps you to face that difficult part of life.” Colley admits she wishes she had known more about hospice when her own father passed away from congestive heart failure in 1992. “It would have been nice to talk to someone about how I was feeling. Nobody should ever have to go through it alone.” With the holiday season just around the corner, the White Rock Hospice Society is getting ready for its annual Celebrate A Life campaign, held Dec. 1 to 23, at the Semiahmoo Shopping Centre. The public is invited to pay tribute to a loved one who has passed away by writing their name on a paper dove, which will hang on the hospice tree. With a donation of $25 or more, one will
receive a beautiful handcrafted and handpainted dove by local artists to take home as a keepsake. In this week’s edition of Local Flavours, Colley shares one of her mother’s recipes for Bavarian Apple Cheesecake – a delicious dessert for fall that makes great use the season’s abundance of tasty apples.
local flavours Bavarian Apple Cheesecake Ingredients:
Crust: 1/2 cup margarine or butter 1/3 cup sugar 1 cup flour 1.4 tsp. vanilla Filling: 8 oz. cream cheese 1/4 cup sugar 1 egg 1/2 tsp. vanilla Topping 1/3 cup sugar 1/2 tsp. cinnamon 3-4 cups sliced apples 1/4 cup toasted, sliced almonds
Instructions:
Crust: Mix and pat on bottom and sides of spring form pan. If using big pan or if you want a thicker crust, double crust amount. Pat crust into a pan with the back of a spoon and pour in filling. Filling: Mix all ingredients (butter and cream cheese should be at room temperature) with a hand mixer or Kitchen Aid appliance. Topping: Mix all together and arrange mixture on top. Place on cookie sheet (it leaks). Bake 450 degrees for 10 minutes. Reduce. Finish at 400 degrees for 25 minutes. Cool before removing.

Million-dollar ending for poker player Sheila Reynolds Black Press
He may not have won the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas this weekend, or even made it to the final two, but Surrey’s Matt Jarvis is still walking away from the table with more than $1 million. The 26-year-old qualified for the November Nine at the world series in midJuly. The competition began July 5 with 7,319 players who each paid $10,000 to enter the tournament.
After eight days, Jarvis found himself among the nine survivors who returned to the final table on Saturday (Nov. 6). Each of the nine qualifiers, including Jarvis, automatically received a ninth place prize of $811,823, but had a chance to vie for a portion of the remaining prize pool of $21.7 million in Vegas. Jarvis finished in eighth place, securing him $1,045,743. According to the World Series of Poker website, Jarvis was “the

Six other players were also eliminated Saturday, leaving the two finalists, Jonathan Duhamel of Quebec and John Racener of Tampa, playing in the final Monday (after Peace Arch News’ press deadline). The winner will take home $8.9 million. Of the final nine, Jarvis was one of only
two not listed as a professional poker player. He has been playing poker for six years, getting most of his experience and recent wins from online tournaments. He was previously studying business in college and working odd jobs, but has been playing poker seriously

Gene’s Motel was a thriving business in White Rock in the 1950s
Friend’s passing brings back motel memories Alex Browne
N
Staff Reporter
ews of the recent death of an old school friend prompted a trip down memory lane for White Rock resident and local history buff Dave Henderson – and brought back images of a business, Gene’s Motel, that was a hub of summer resort trade at the beach in the kinder, gentler days of the early 1950s. Eugene Albert ‘Al’ Shaw (formerly Schou, pronounced ‘Skow’) passed away in Kelowna on Oct. 15 at the age of 74. He had lived in the Kootenays for decades before succumbing to cancer, but Henderson still recalls the former White Rock resident as the young classmate at Semiahmoo High School, whose parents’ Washington Avenue motel was on his daily paper route. Gene’s Motel was opened on Aug. 15, 1950 at 14835 Washington Ave – the site of the building that now houses, among other Marine Drive businesses, Whitby’s Book Store and Coffee House. “They did a real good, thriving business there,” Henderson said, noting the proximity of Walton’s Shell Service on the corner of the block (now the site of White Rock Mufflers) helped draw trade to the motel. The motel was several years in the planning, Henderson said. “In the late 1940s Gene Schou was operating Gene’s Trucking in New Westminster,” Henderson said. “He decided to sell, moved to White Rock and purchased a large parcel of land on Washington Avenue. The property had a small house which the family, Gene, his wife, Evelyn, and Albert lived in, while

eastward on Washington Avenue, over Sand Hill (now the site of the Sandpiper) to the old Park Theatre cinema across from Semiahmoo Park. “For a quarter, you could pay 15 cents to get in and have a dime left over to buy two candy bars,” Henderson said. And while he recalls that rowdy youths received their share of censure in the White Rock of the early ’50s – “they were the zoot suiters; they’d come in from New Westminster,” he said – his memories of old White Rock are mostly of a gentle and relaxed environment. “It was a great place to grow up – a real small town where everybody knew everybody else. Back in those days there were a lot of summer cabins in White Rock and nobody ever locked their doors. You’d go up to the house and the door would be wide open. That’s just the way it was and people would respect that. You’d leave your boats upturned on the beach when � see page 18

Motel sold in mid-’50s
� from page 17 they weren’t in use and nobody touched them – you wouldn’t dare leave a boat on the beach today.” Inevitably, the course of events separated Henderson and Al Schou as time went by. Henderson graduated in 1955 and he believes Al had left the school the year before, possibly because his father had died and his mother, unable to run the motel by herself, had been forced to sell it. He knows Al had left the community by the time he got back from his own brief stint working for the Canadian Pacific Railway in Calgary in 1956. He believes his school friend had changed his name to Shaw before marrying his wife Natasha in 1958. They raised a family – daughter Karen and sons Steven and Michael – in Nelson, and Henderson remained in touch with them, sporadically over the years. Inevitably, too, there are regrets. Henderson had stayed in his home town and made a career in the plumbing trade, and when he and his wife bought a cabin in the Kootenays as a retreat, they often intended to call in on the Shaw family. But “somehow, it never seemed to happen,” Henderson said. Re-establishing contact with Al through his daughter, Karen, Henderson kept in touch with his old friend by phone in recent years. “We were always talking about getting together, and then just recently I got a phone call through the network of school friends that he had terminal cancer,” he said sadly. But Henderson’s large album of photographs of old White Rock – including his snapshot of Gene and Evelyn Schou and Albert in front of their newlyopened motel – still has the power to bring back happy memories of the community that was. “It was a different time,” he said.

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds,—and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of—wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air... Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace Where never lark, nor even eagle flew— And, while with silent lifting mind I’ve trod The high untrespassed sanctity of space Put out my hand and touched the face of God.

THE MAN WHO NEVER WENT TO THE FRONT When he was 15 1/2 Mr. Babcock lied about his age and joined the 146th Canadian Battalion. The subterfuge was soon discovered and he was transferred to Halifax to dig ditches with the more than 1,300 other under-age soldiers of theYoung Soldiers Battalion. In 1917, he was sent to England to continue his training but the war ended before he could participate. In 1921, he settled in the United States with his first wife and held several different jobs. After the attack on Pearl Harbour on December 7, 1941, he wanted to join the air force but was told he was too old. He was only granted American citizenship in 1946, after having served as a sergeant in the American army. Mr. Babcock never knew active service at the front. At the age of 65, he became a pilot and at 100 he wrote his autobiography. He was married twice, had two children and lived the rest of his life in Spokane, John Babcock: Washington.

The poppy became a beloved and honoured symbol at the beginning of the 20th century and, even now, is worn proudly on the left lapel in memory of our war veterans. This is why, on November 11 — Remembrance Day—we honour the courage of those who gave their lives in wartime, sacrificing themselves for their country and for peace, by wearing this bright red flower close to the heart. THE POPPY THAT FLOWERED ON SOLDIERS’ GRAVES During the Napoleonic wars at the beginning of the 19th century, these mysterious, blood-red flowers were seen growing on soldiers’ graves once the battlefield was deserted. Then they disappeared as mysteriously as they came. More than 100 years passed and, after the Great War, they flowered anew around the graves in Flanders, France. After various tests, it was discovered that the soil in this area was rich in limestone from buildings destroyed during the First World War, creating favourable conditions for the poppies to flower. Once the war was over the limestone dust was absorbed and the poppies disappeared. SYMBOL OF LIFE AND OF HOPE The poppy campaign begins on the last Friday in October and continues until November 11. With the funds raised, the Royal Canadian Legion is able to give financial help to veterans of the Canadian Armed Forces who are in need and can subsidize healthcare establishments, research, the purchase of medical equipment and homecare services.
Never Forget
Remember Those Who have Served and Given Their Lives for our Freedoms.
To those who fought for our
FREEDOM and those who continue to defend it…

Remembrance Day
November 11, 2010
Nine decades of remembering
Su ppo rt
Our Tro ops
In Canada, the first Remembrance Day ceremony took place at 11.00 a.m. on November 11, 1919. This means that we have been remembering our war heroes for nine decades now and the ceremonies are still very relevant. Originally, the objective of Remembrance Day was to pay homage to all those who gave their lives in the Great War. Today, this special day commemorates all members of the Canadian military who have perished on land or at sea during past or current wars. For 90 years, ceremonies across the country have been occasions to express our collective memories, compassion and respect for the missing and the dead. We wear poppies and observe two minutes of silence. Every second passed in silence should also be devoted to thinking of the courageous nurses who cared for the wounded during two world wars, to farm workers and office workers who contributed to the war effort as well as to the wives and mothers who received the terrible news of the disappearance of a brother, son or husband. For those of us born in peace time, the terrible damage wrought by war is never very real. But on November 11, we have every occasion to remember the efforts made by Canadians, both men and women, who are stationed in places such as Afghanistan. Indeed, since the terrible events of September 11, 200l many Canadians have died in conflict zones. And finally, Remembrance Day is also the time to take a moment of silence and vow to make the same sacrifices as these heroic Canadians, if our peace should be threatened.

FHA urged to add needle exchanges what’s Jeff Nagel Black Press
Injection drug addicts are at much greater risk of catching and spreading disease in the Fraser Health region because health authority officials have failed to deliver on the promise of their harm reduction policy, reform advocates charge. They say access to needle exchanges, safe injection sites and methadone clinics is much poorer than in the Vancouver area – largely due to opposition from hostile city councils and police forces who think an abstinence policy is best. “Fraser Health has failed to ensure needles and injection supplies are available in all regions of Fraser Health,” said Ann Livingston, an advocate with the Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users (VANDU). “There’s no place in Abbotsford for an addict to get a needle legally,” David Murray of the B.C./Yukon Association of Drug War Survivors told the Fraser Health board last week. They say Abbotsford is a particular trouble spot because the city has a bylaw banning harm reduction strategies, including needle exchanges, injection sites and methadone dispensaries – even though the city has one of the highest Hepatitis C infection rates in the province. Abbotsford’s bylaw is under review and Livingston wants Fraser officials to step up the pressure to scrap it. Fraser Health CEO Nigel Murray said the authority respects and complies with Abbotsford’s bylaw but is in talks with the city “to come up with the best solution possible” to expand harm-reduction efforts. Fraser Health distributes only seven per cent of the needles in the province despite having at least a quarter of B.C.’s injection drug addicts and the largest population of any health region in B.C. There are an estimated 14,000 to 16,000 injection drug users in Fraser, about the same as in the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, according to estimates Livings-

There are not enough needle exchange programs in the region, say advocates.
ton circulated. But provincial statistics show Vancouver Coastal distributes three million needles a year, while Fraser hands out just 400,000. More needles are distributed even in much less populous regions, such as the Interior (473,000 needles), Northern (453,000) and Vancouver Island (984,000) health authorities. Livingston said the numbers mean large numbers of addicts in Fraser are sharing dirty needles and likely spreading Hepatitis C, HIV and AIDS, highlighting a huge gap between Fraser’s “commendable” harm reduction policy and what happens on the ground. David Portesi, Fraser Health’s director of health promotion and prevention, did not dispute the numbers and confirmed resistance from local officials is a problem. “When you have a police force and municipal leadership that are anti-harm

reduction, even if we do have ways to get around the laws, the harrassment of clients can reduce or almost eliminate effective harm reduction services in that particular area,” he said at the board meeting. But Portesi said the challenge is not merely to change local laws, but to also build community support. “We do need to increase our distribution of needles in Fraser Health,” he said. Even in Surrey, where there is a needle exchange handing out 16,000 syringes a month, access isn’t ideal. The site is open limited daytime hours only and is closed on Sunday, unlike Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, where needle exchange options are available around the clock. Advocates say Surrey council tried in 2005 to block the startup of an AIDS clinic with a second needle exchange by requiring it to submit to a community impact study – something the B.C. Supreme Court later ruled was unnecessary. Nearly all Lower Mainland cities have bylaws banning possession of drug paraphernalia. The only exception is Vancouver, which bans their display for sale in store windows but allows users to carry syringes or crack pipes. Livingston said such bylaws are routinely used in many Lower Mainland municipalities to ticket users, even those carrying Fraser Health-provided syringes. Many pharmacies won’t sell needles to people they think are drug users, she added. Livingston said studies elsewhere show harm reduction strategies cut disease, improve public order and increase the likelihood addicts will seek treatment. VANDU is recommending Fraser ensure syringes and safe crack pipe kits are available throughout the region, that adequate methadone replacement treatment be available and that a “mystery shopper” system be used to verify access is not being blocked.

news Case made to extend car emission testing until at least 2020
Pollution, health benefits justify AirCare: review Jeff Nagel Black Press
Motorists hoping for a quick end to costly AirCare tests appear to be on the road to disappointment. The Lower Mainland’s vehicle air emission testing program should be renewed and continued until at least 2020, according to the findings of a multiagency review. Although the program has become less relevant as new cars get steadily cleaner, the report of the AirCare Review Committee says the air quality benefits justify continuing it. “Termination of the AirCare program would result in increased emissions that would cause negative health impacts on all residents of the Lower Fraser Valley,” it says. “The cost of AirCare inspections impact only motorists with vehicles more than seven years old, yet all citizens benefit from improved air quality.” Consultants note the $45-million annual cost of running AirCare testing centres is entirely borne by motorists through fees, so dismantling the program would not save TransLink or the government any money. “In the absence of an emissions inspection program, there is no deterrent to neglecting the repair of emissionsrelated defects or overt disabling of emission controls.” The decision still depends on both the Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley regional district boards endorsing a continued program later this month, as well as provincial government approval. FVRD board chair Patricia Ross has said she would be reluctant to dismantle AirCare, and some Metro politicians have also said they would likely support renewal. Although the report makes a case to continue until 2020, it recommends TransLink negotiate a five- to seven-year extension of the program, currently run by contractor Envirotest Canada. Nearly half the vehicles in the region are exempt from testing
because they’re less than eight years old. Most of the cars that are tested are charged $45 every two years and pass with flying colours. But 115,000 – 13 per cent of those tested – failed in 2007. Vehicles that fail are denied insurance until they get a tune-up and a re-test. Air Care operations manager Dave Gourley said a renewed program would likely add two new tests to detect and reduce leaks from gas tanks and fuel lines and to correct defective evaporative emission control systems. He doubts the changes would make it harder to pass AirCare, adding fuel leak testing would rein in extreme cases. “When you’re dripping fuel on the

where testing has found the emissions of newer vehicles are worsening more rapidly than expected as they age. Running the program until 2020 would reduce the lifetime cancer risk of area residents by 1.6 per cent, reduce hospital admissions for respiratory and heart disease and avoid 140 premature deaths over the decade, according to a companion report by Sierra Research and Senes Consultants. They estimated the resulting health benefits are worth $77 million in cost savings – significantly more than the annual program cost.

repair industry among the “economic benefits.” Because failed cars are often junked or sold outside the region instead of being repaired, the report said AirCare also adds an estimated $21 million per year in new vehicle sales. “In addition to reducing emissions, this accelerated fleet turnover contributes to increased vehicle safety and fuel economy.” The review committee included staff from both regional districts as well as ICBC, TransLink, Environment Canada and the provincial ministry of healthy living and sport. B.C. wouldn’t be alone in extending AirCare. Similar testing schemes in Ontario and Washington State are being extended to 2019.

Veterinarian Bruce Burton checks up on 44-year-old rhinoceros, Charlie, at the zoo last week.
Veterinarian Bruce Burton demonstrated just how gentle and affectionate Charlie the white rhinoceros is, during a medical check and hoof trimming of the 44-year-old at the Greater Vancouver Zoo last week. Charlie, the most senior animal at the zoo, enjoys having his skin scratched and rubbed. Dr. Burton said poachers continue to decimate this species in the wild, primarily for its keratin outgrowths, which are often mistakenly called “horns.” The zoo wrapped up its 40th anniversary “Wild and Wonderful Year” contest that day with draws for dozens of prize winners, including grand prize winner Val Foster of Surrey, who will now be driving a 2011 Toyota Camry hybrid car. - Kurt Langmann

nlike adults, youths under 18 years of age have special rights under the law as it pertains to speaking to the police or making statements.
Whereas, the Supreme Court of Canada has recently determined that adult offenders do not have a right to have their lawyer present while being interviewed by the police, and, in fact, once an adult has opted to speak to legal aid duty counsel, instead of his/her own lawyer, generally that will be sufficient to meet their right to receive legal advice. On the other hand, if a youth under the age of 18 years is being investigated by the police, no comment or statement made by that youth, unless spontaneous, can be used against that youth unless the police clearly explain his legal rights to him in language appropriate to his age and understanding (no just legalese). Those rights include the right to consult with both his parents and his counsel of choice, and, to have both present at the time he is interviewed by police.
If the counsel whom he requests is not available, and the youth does not clearly and unequivocally waive his right to counsel, the police must provide the youth with a reasonable opportunity to both consult and have that counsel present, and to “hold off” interviewing him pending the exercising of that right. The purposes of these provisions is to protect all young people whether sophisticated or not, as young people are more easily impressed and influenced by persons in authority.

LIGHTING CLEARANCE
Fastest-growing areas must get higher priority
No urgency for UBC rapid transit line: Metro Jeff Nagel Black Press
Metro Vancouver directors are holding firm against calls to make a new rapid transit line to the University of B.C. an equal priority with rapid transit expansion South of the Fraser. Metro’s proposed regional growth strategy puts the Evergreen Line to Coquitlam first, while second priority would go to rapid transit expansion in Surrey and Langley and extension along Vancouver’s Broadway corridor only as far as about Arbutus Street. Running the Broadway line further west to UBC should only be considered later, the plan says, in a third set of priorities that include enhanced transit for many other areas of the region. UBC student leaders told Metro’s regional planning committee Friday students waiting along Broadway routinely watch up to three full buses pass them by without stopping. “We’ve become victims of our own success,” said Alma Mater Society president Bijan Ahmadian, who said the lower priority for the UBC line threatens to delay the project and unravel the high rate of transit use among UBC students. “We have people all over the place being passed by buses,” countered Pitt Meadows Mayor Don McLean. He said UBC students who think a new $2-billion-plus line there will go in ahead of expansion in high-growth areas like Surrey “need a dose of reality” and may need to “suffer a little” while TransLink tackles needs in the appropriate sequence. Other Metro directors, including Vancouver Coun. Andrea Reimer, questioned whether West Broadway and Point Grey residents would support a rapid transit line through their neighbourhood, and whether the transit-oriented development that would ensue is
appropriate there. probably be better A better tactic talking to SNC-Lavalin might be to increase and Bombardier about affordable student what the next choice housing on campus to will be than talking to reduce transit reliance, us.” Port Coquitlam Mayor Regional mayors Greg Moore said. council chair Peter Others noted use of Fassbender urged the line would be less students to lobby the west through Point province to find a Grey than through solution to TransLink’s the busiest need for central ❝We’ve become long-term Broadway funding to victims of our aggressively area, which is being own success.❞ expand given higher transit.

serving the UBC student population,” he said. But Carline said it might be acceptable to adjust the plan’s language to allow construction of a relatively cheap Bus Rapid Transit line to UBC, provided that spending doesn’t undermine Surrey expansion. The Surrey, Langley and Delta areas are forecast to grow by more than 500,000 residents and 250,000 jobs over the next three decades – a large part of the region’s future growth. Reimer said neighbouring cities forget that their residents actually make up half or more of the transit trips in Vancouver, so improvements there arguably help the entire region. She said the same can’t be said as easily for the reverse – upgrades in distant corners of the region. Corrigan said the aim of improvements in underserved areas isn’t merely to speed those residents to Vancouver, but to deliver a higher level of transit that enables them to also become complete communities.

He said the issue goes beyond pay – eye specialists don’t feel they can safely and effectively cover the whole region on a reduced schedule. He said 13 opthalmology specialists at Burnaby General and Ridge Meadows are having half their surgical slates cancelled – roughly 15 cataract surgeries each day. And he predicts the dispute could spread to more hospitals. “It’s spiralled downwards to the point we’re at now, which is not a good one,” Parkinson said. “If they’re willing to do this to patients what else are they willing to do?” He said it’s “inexcusable” for the health authority to cancel surgeries to pressure doctors, effectively putting patients in the centre of a labour dispute. Blair said the cancelled surgery time is now being reallocated to other opthalmologists, so few if any patients should experience delays for procedures like cataract surgeries. “These cataract surgeries will get done,” he predicted.

Three officers honoured Three Surrey RCMP officers were among those honoured as leaders in crime prevention Friday, at the 12th Annual Solicitor General Crime Prevention and Community Safety Awards. The awards, bestowed in an afternoon ceremony held at the Pacific Inn in South Surrey, recognize excellence and leadership in officers, civilians, volunteers, media and service groups. The highest honour – the Anthony J. Hulme Award of Distinction – was presented to Const. Bruce Ballingall of the New Westminster Police Service, “for his outstanding contribution and extraordinary dedication to helping make B.C. communities a better place to live.” Ballingall has led the implementation of crime prevention programs such as Graffiti Eradication, Citizens on Patrol and Block Watch, and partnered with community organizations and volunteers to ensure success. He has also been a long-time member of the B.C. Crime Prevention Association and organizes the annual Pulling Together canoe journey. “For over 30 years Const. Ballingall has chosen to lead by example when it comes to crime prevention in his community,” said Solicitor General Rich Coleman. “His dedication and level of involvement with numerous volunteer organizations have earned him the respect and admiration
of his peers, the residents of New Westminster and of British Columbia.” Surrey officers cited were Staff Sgt. Ben Bentley, Staff Sgt. Rob McCloy and Const. John Wilson. Surrey Crime Prevention Society’s Lisa Mock was also noted. Bentley received the Kenneth M. Lemckert Community Policing Award, for exemplary leadership in community policing. While district commander in Newton, he led initiatives including creation of the Newton Integrated Services partnerships, which is instrumental in communicating RCMP initiatives to the public and building community partnerships. He also serves on the Crime and Justice Team of the Surrey Board of Trade. McCloy and Wilson were both presented the Wael T. Audi Youth Policing Award, for their commitment to working with youth. McCloy started the SPURS youth group, which gives youth an overview of police work, and teaches team-building and selfconfidence. Wilson was noted for his dedication to disadvantaged youth. It has “had a profound impact on youth-police relationships,” Coleman said. Mock received the Crime Prevention & Community Safety Award. Manager of the SCPS’s Mobile Patrol, she has aided in the recovery of more than 1,900 stolen vehicles, countless stolen
licence plates, as well as the arrest of 460 suspects. “Crime in our communities should not be tolerated, and the commitment and willingness to get involved demonstrated by the men, women and young people honoured here today proves that,” said Coleman. Others honoured Friday were: • E.A.S.Y. Program - Circle of Eagles Lodge Society and the Vancouver Police Department (Crime Prevention & Community Safety Award - Community/ Group/Organization) • Dave Dickson - Williams Lake (Crime Prevention & Community Safety Award (individual) • HELLO (Helping Everyone Locate Loved Ones) - Coquitlam (Children or Youth Leadership Award) • Surrey School Board (Local Government Award) • BC Social Venture Partners Vancouver (Service Club Award) • Const. Ian MacDonald Abbotsford Police Department, Abbotsford (Media Award) • Absolute Lock & Safe Ltd. - New Westminster (Corporate Award) • Sandra Hawkins - Williams Lake (Volunteer Award) • Ray Lawley - Kelowna (Volunteer Award) • Willy Galka - Kelowna (Volunteer Award) Recipients were selected by the Provincial Safe Communities Working Group.

The 39 Steps
Distinguished Earl Marriott theatre alumnus Dean Paul Gibson’s hilarious and bravura version of The 39 Steps – based on the novel by John Buchan and the 1935 Alfred Hitchcock film classic – runs to Nov. 21 at the Arts Club’s Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage in Vancouver. Based on the celebrated adaptation by Patrick Barlow, still running after four years in London’s West End, the show employs the power of pure theatre, creative characterization, mime, evocative costumes and lighting and sound effects – and inspired minimalism – to retell the spy thriller with tongue firmly, if affectionately, in cheek. Martin Happer, as adventurerin-the-middle-of-a-spy-plot Richard Hannay, is suave, suitably mannered and carries off the humourous physicality of the piece with panache, well-matched by Diana Coatsworth, adeptly switching characterizations to play all three females in the plot. Scenes are changed – and stolen – at will by skilled players David

Standup comic brings his frenetic act to the Surrey Arts Centre stage
Introducing the unfamous, uncensored King Brenda Anderson Black Press
Robin Williams loves his work. And why not? They have something in common, after all. Like Williams, when it comes to mental agility and frenetic pacing, standup comic Simon King practically dares his audience to keep up. Crazy guys on the bus and amateur night at the strip club are among the brief landing points for King’s jokes, while his arsenal of uncanny impressions and sound effects has been known to wreak havoc in auditoriums all across North America. And it all began in little old Langley. King, who brings his act to the Surrey Arts Centre stage next Friday, spent several years as a Langley Fine Arts School student, though he never did quite manage to wrap his hand around a Dogwood. “I’m a terrible dropout,” he laughed. During the time he did spend in school, if he wasn’t the class

Comedian Simon King will perform his standup act at Surrey Arts Centre on Friday, Nov. 12. clown, exactly, King definitely had a strange sense of humour. “I was always goofy and gregarious,” he said. To be fair, the comic who was born in England and didn’t lose his accent until he was 14, couldn’t help but stand out. “I sounded like a bad
drag queen version of the queen herself.” That is, if the queen had a potty mouth. As a working comedian, even if King understands the value of a solid corporate gig where a bit of decorum is in order, he’s not all that keen on selfediting. “I’m a fan of being
raw and uncensored. “I don’t actually swear that much off stage,” said the 33-year-old, during a 10-minute conversation, which contained nary a profanity. “But when someone’s passionate about something, the last thing they’re thinking is, ‘I better not say that.’ “You open the floodgates and whatever happens, happens. “I’m older now and more sure of myself. What I have to say is what I have to say.” Although just what that will be from one show to the next is anyone’s guess. “I don’t know what’s going to happen on stage,” he said. Even though he has a pretty good idea which bits he’ll draw from the roughly two hours of material he’s compiled — quality control dictates he not wing it completely, after all — King does enjoy taking a bit of latitude on stage. Yes, there’s method, but there’s madness, too. Whether he’s riffing on U.S. politics
(John McCain’s assassin? Father Time) or the oil shortage (just one more way the dinosaurs have let us down) it’s all done at a breakneck — whenexactly-does-hebreathe? — pace. “It seems to be working. People seem to dig it,” he said. Granted, “funny” is partly about context. “If you take the microphone out of my hand and put me at a bus stop at 3 a.m. it’s a different story,” he laughed. And if comic styles are, as King said, as individual as fingerprints, his is visceral and raw. “It’s outspoken, but never vicious, never malicious.” And whatever you do, don’t judge standup by what you see on TV, King advised. Being

in the audience at a comedy show is as different from watching a televised act as seeing a band perform live is different from listening to the CD. And the more intimate the venue, the more it feels like the guy on stage is talking directly to you, he said. Although he now calls Vancouver home, more often he’s in a room somewhere, in the middle of one of the “400-some-odd” shows he does each year. “It’s not an easy life, living out of a suitcase,” he conceded. No parent wants their child to pursue a career path that is filled with uncertainty and potential starvation — and King’s were no exception. But having a mother who is in theatre (Ellie King, B.C.’s “panto-queen,”
founded the Royal Canadian Theatre Company) helped smooth the way. “She really does get it. My father, (a musician) too,” said King. “When you see someone doing something they love, how do you argue with that? And, yes, he really does love it. “I like to perform for people who love standup comedy — people who get it,” he said. “When you get a bunch of equally twisted people in the same room, it’s magic.” Surrey Arts Centre, 13750 88 Ave., presents Simon King: Unfamous in the Studio Theatre on Friday, Nov. 12 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $22 for adults and $18 for students and seniors.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
Now in his fifth year of college basketball, Tyrell Mara is looking to go out with a title
Making the most of his last shot Nick Greenizan
F
Sports Reporter
or the first time since he was a student at White Rock Christian Academy, Tyrell Mara doesn’t know where he’ll play basketball next season. Or even if he will at all. For some, such a proposition would be an unsettling one, but Mara – who captained WRCA to a provincial title in 2005 – seems at ease with the situation, which is made easier because he isn’t allowing himself to look past the season at hand, in which he’s trying to help guide the Trinity Western ❝I’d say there’s University about 98 per Spartans cent of me that’s back to the playoffs, just focused on and possibly this year.❞ a national crown. Tyrell Mara “I’d say Trinity Western there’s about 98 per cent of me that’s just focused on this year and this team,” said the six-foot-six forward, who is in his fifth and final year of playing eligibility, and second year at TWU, where he’s working toward earning a master’s degree in business. The other two per cent of the South Surrey resident – the part that allows him to look to the future – sees a handful of options down the road, some of which include basketball, and one of which, perhaps surprisingly, includes a sport he gave up after high school, when he moved south to play basketball in the NCAA at Portland State University. “The first option for me will be to go overseas and play, and get a pro contract. But I also threw discus in high school, and there’s still a part of me that thinks I should give it a shot, and make a run at the Olympics, or the worlds,” said Mara, who was a provincial discus champion in Grade 12. “We’ll have to see how it goes, but either way, those decisions will be made post season.” In the meantime, Mara is

Allen to help EMS hoops Three years removed from coaching high school basketball, former White Rock Christian Academy coach Scott Allen is returning to the game in a different role – as an advisor. And it won’t be at WRCA – where he led teams to multiple provincial triple-A titles and created one of B.C.’s powerhouse hoops programs – but rather, at Earl Marriott Secondary, which is looking to give its fledging senior boys basketball program a boost. In September, Allen – who runs his One Pass Scott Allen Ahead basket- basketball coach ball camps out of the South Surrey school – asked EMS athletic director Daniel To who he had in mind to coach the senior boys hoops team this year. When To said he hadn’t yet lined anybody up, Allen offered to make some calls. A few text messages later, he found former WRCA and SFU player Sean Stewart, and Earl Marriott alum Blair Hogg, who played last year for Allen at TWU. “I didn’t even have to go out and recruit anybody – they all came to us, which is great,” said To. “We’re just trying to build relationships within the community, and when you do that, you get people wanting to be a part of this school.” Allen will have a hands-off role, although he will “help out where I can” by running clinics, helping out at the odd practice, and generally being available to offer advice. Considering his history at WRCA, Allen laughed when asked if working with Marriott was akin to “joining the enemy,” insisting it is simply a chance to boost local hoops. “I don’t think John (Dykstra) and White Rock Christian needs my help,” Allen said. “(EMS) is such a big school and there are a lot of good athletes there, and I’d like to see basketball grow in the community,” Allen said. “I don’t know how much I’ll help, but we’ll see.” The season begins in December. - Nick Greenizan

Urgency to win increased this year � from page 39 veterans, the Spartans are looking to unseat the defending champion UBC Thunderbirds from their perch atop the Canada West Conference. UBC beat TWU twice earlier this month. Mara said the two tough losses did little to discourage his mates, especially the seniors who, like Mara, are in their final year of college basketball. “One-hundred per cent, it increases the urgency for us,” he said. “We finished early last year, and me and Jacob and some of the other seniors got together and said, ‘It’s not going to be like this next year.’” One of Mara’s best qualities on the court has always been his leadership – just ask current TWU coach Scott Allen, who also coached Mara in high school – but only now, at the ripe old age of 23, does Mara, who played senior boys basketball as a Grade 8 and has always played against older players, find himself as one of the “old guys” on the Spartans. It’s unfamiliar turf, perhaps, but a role he
relishes. “I think I’m the second-oldest guy on the team – it’s weird saying that – but I don’t feel old,” he laughed. “Maybe now I just have some more wisdom, to help out the younger players. “That’s what it’s really about for me now. The first year (of college) is always tough, I know that, so anything I can do to help the rookies fit into the program, I’ll do, because next year when I’m gone, it’s going to be them stepping into my shoes.” One of the rookies Mara is helping mentor this season is his youngest brother, Eli, who is in his freshman year. With a four-year age gap between them, they’ve never had the chance to play together on the same team, save for a few minutes in the fourth quarter of a 2005 provincial game when Allen put Tyrell, in Grade 12, middle brother Jordan, in Grade 10 at the time, and a Grade 7 Eli on the court at the same time. “It’s going great. I consider myself very lucky,” the eldest Mara brother said.

Eagles on three-game streak Nick Greenizan
Give the Gift of Golf!
Sports Reporter
The Surrey Eagles won their third straight game Sunday, giving them seven wins in their last nine – good enough to bump them into a tie with the Langley Chiefs for second place in the BC Hockey League’s Coastal Conference. On Thursday, the Eagles’ offence exploded in an 8-4 road win over the Chiefs, and the Birds followed up with a 5-4 overtime win at South Surrey Arena – also against the Chiefs. Then, on Sunday, Surrey completed the trifecta with a 3-1 victory over the visiting Cowichan Valley Capitals. Surrey now boasts a record of 15-9-0; they sit six points behind the first-place Powell River Kings. On Thursday, the Eagles jumped out to a 4-0 first-period lead and cruised to victory, led by a two-goal performance from new Eagle Steve Koshey, who was playing his first game with the team. Koshey, a 19-year-old defenceman, was acquired last week from the Trail Smoke Eaters in exchange for a pair of forwards, Erik Cooper and Ryan Luiten. The trade to shore up the Eagles’ blue line came a week after the team shipped veteran forward Mike Krgovich – a BCHL all-star last season – to Salmon Arm for 18-year-old defenceman Josh Monk. Other goals were scored by Mitch Jones – who added two assists – Richard Vanderhoek, Daniel Gentzler, Scott Holm, Robert Lindores and Brandon Morley. The Eagles’ power play was also lethal in Langley, connecting on five-of-seven opportunities. New goaltender Karel St. Laurent, 20, formerly of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League’s Saint John Seadogs, was between the pipes for the Eagles, stopping 37 shots. As of Monday, the team was still carrying three goaltenders on its official roster – with 18-year-old Andrew Hunt and 20-year-old Vinny Lessard the others – but St. Laurent was between the pipes for all three of the team’s latest wins.

In Friday’s rematch, Eagles’ leading-scorer Brad McGowan lifted the team to victory with his overtime goal, which came on a penalty shot with just 50 seconds left in the second OT. The goal was McGowan’s second of the game – and fourth point. Vanderhoek added a pair of goals, and Gentzler
chipped in with one. Gentzler was the first Eagles to tally Sunday, too, giving him goals in all three wins, with Vanderhoek and Jeff Vanderlugt also finding the back of the net. The Eagles are back on the ice Thursday, for a Remembrance Day afternoon tilt – with a 3 p.m. puck drop – against the visiting Nanaimo Clippers. The game will also serve as a

That means the costs [per $1,000 of coverage] actually goes up as they bring down their mortgage debt. Personal life insurance coverage remains fixed throughout the term.

Going apples for apples, life insurance owned personally is less expensive, and has more flexibility for the consumer. That’s why people really need to go to a professional to see how the insurance fits into their overall plan.”

Sandy 604-535-6280 www.seniorsdaytrips.ca JOHNSON, Gail Louise Gail lost her bout with cancer November 1st at Peace Arch Hospital. She was a loving, caring wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend. Her passing was sudden but peaceful and we miss her more than words can say. Gail was born September 29th 1949 in Pender Harbour, B.C. She enjoyed living in Alberta but lived most of her life in White Rock,where her heart blossomed for her grand-children Ella, Chloe, and Levon. Gail was a good cook. She loved plants and animals and opened her arms to pets who needed a home. Ready for a good laugh, Gail was well-known for her sewing crafts, and prize winning costumes. Sincere and genuine, Gail Always Placed The Needs of Others Before her own. The Gift Of God Is Eternal life and we know she will always be near. Deeply loved and sadly missed by her family and remembered dearly by the many people whose hearts she touched. A celebration for Gail will be held November 13th, 1pm at Semiahmoo House.

Fortunately we met and she chose a weight loss procedure right for her. Now she’s lost the weight, feels great, and is able to do all things she’s wanted to. If you are tired of your excess weight, call to talk and learn more about how we can help you.”
