Family pets found mutilated

More cat killings reported on Peninsula Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Reports of more mutilated cats have White Rock police appealing to residents to notify them of any unusual activity around felines. “We don’t know what we’re dealing with here,” Staff Sgt. Lesli Roseberry said. “This is not something we’re taking lightly and we want to

get to the bottom of this.” Peace Arch News reported Friday police were investigating after a family found their cat cut in half. Since the story’s publication, the detachment has fielded two additional reports of similar incidents. One woman told police she found her pet “broken in half ” after it went missing a couple weeks ago.

She did not call police at the time. A second caller, a man, said he found the back half of his cat about three months ago. Both callers – one of which was a South Surrey resident – said they simply buried their pets’ remains. Roseberry said Tuesday that in light of the new reports, investigators are stepping up efforts to

identify those responsible, including liaising with officers in Langley and Kelowna, where similar incidents have been reported. “It’s concerning because these are family pets,” Roseberry said. Roseberry encouraged anyone with information on the local reports to contact police at 778593-3600.

As well, anyone spotting suspicious activity is asked to call – “anything out of the ordinary in terms of cats.” She reiterated a warning issued last week urging cat owners to keep their pets inside. “If at any time you were to keep your animals indoors, maybe now is the time.”

Living wall takes root Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Trees don’t normally grow on city walls, but they’ll soon be seen on the exterior of one South Surrey building. And the white-flowered Ocean Spray on the south wall of 1815 152 St. – the home of South Surrey RCMP and Semiahmoo Library – won’t be alone. Planting of the city’s first living wall – a $272,000 endeavour – got underway Monday morning. Described as the largest and most diverse project of its kind in North America, by the time it’s complete, more than 10,000 plants will cover the concrete canvas – from shrubs and small trees to ground covers and perennials. � see page A4

Surrey to celebrate three ‘cultural treasures’ Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

Two Semiahmoo Peninsula residents are among three recipients of this year’s Surrey Civic Treasures Award for their contributions to the city’s cultural community. Former Semiahmoo Secondary music instructor David Proznick and musician/ business owner/volunteer Chris Thornley are set to accept their awards from Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts at the seventh annual Business and the Arts event, Oct. 7. Former Surrey fire chief Allan Cleaver, an advocate for heritage preservation, rounds out this

year’s award recipients. In addition to close to 40 years of teaching, Proznick, who retired from Semiahmoo

Secondary in 2003, has been involved with the White Rock Singers for more than three decades, including the past 12 years as director. He also finds time to adjudicate music festivals, teach jazz camps and workshops, direct musicals throughout the community and perform. “The recognition is long overdue,” said Laurae McNally, chair of the Surrey Board of Education and one of several people to nominate Proznick for the award. “He was just an outstanding music teacher at Semiahmoo Secondary. I watched that program over the

years, and he really built that department to one of musical excellence. It was fascinating to watch his students go on to very successful careers in the music industry.” Proznick is no stranger to accolades – in 2003, he was presented the Keith Mann Award for outstanding music educator of the year, and in 1998, he was named to the John Philip Sousa Legion of Honour. “It’s rather humbling,” Proznick said of his most recent award. “There are so many people in the community that do so much. At the same time, it’s such a great honour.” � see page A2

Interest in arts ‘growing’ in city � from page A1 For Thornley, a White Rock resident who has been heavily involved in Surrey’s cultural community by way of volunteering and fundraising, being recognized by the city is also a “huge honour on a whole bunch of levels.” “One thing I think is really important is the fact that as our city has grown, the interest in supporting the arts and culture has grown with that,” Thornley said, pointing to the city’s designation as Canada’s cultural capital in 2008. “I’m sure there was a time nobody would have thought that could be true.” Thornley, co-owner of Surrey-based ThornleyHayne Creative Communications, was also responsible for the logos and branding of several not-for-profit organizations, including the Arts Council of Surrey, Bard on the Beach and the Kla-how-eya Aboriginal Cultural Centre. As both a business owner and an arts

advocate, he said he sometimes sees a slight disconnect between the two communities, something he hopes events like Business and the Arts – which he was instrumental in creating – will help to alleviate. “Sometimes people in the business community don’t appreciate people in the arts, and to be honest, sometimes people in the arts don’t appreciate the business community,” he said. “It shouldn’t be that way.” Cleaver, who retired from the Surrey Fire Department in 1986, is being recognized for his work preserving the city’s heritage, including countless hours spent volunteering and fundraising. The Surrey Heritage Advisory Committee and Friends of the Museum and Archives Society are just a few of the several groups Cleaver is involved with, where he has helped to raise more than $1 million for various heritage projects throughout the city.

Rates change along waterfront

Mayor’s last-minute parking bid ignored Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Parking rates on White Rock’s waterfront are changing. Effective this year, beachfront visitors will pay $1 per hour to park from Nov. 1 through Feb. 28, and $3 per hour to park between March 1 and Oct. 31. Councillors supported the change – recommended by the city’s economic committee – unanimously Monday. They did not, however, consider an amendment requested by Mayor Catherine Ferguson to start the reduced rate in October. Ferguson – who is attending UBCM meetings in Whistler this week – emailed council Monday

afternoon, asking them to “consider hour were considered and whether businesses supported the change. and debate” the earlier start. “I feel that the change in the Ferguson’s request came “late in weather and the number of people the day for us to consider it,” acting mayor Lynne Sinclair said after the that frequent the beach is much less starting in October,” Ferguson told meeting, noting the mayor knew about the recommended rate change Peace Arch News before the meeting. “We have to be willing to recognize two weeks ago. that and make adjustments that are Reached Tuesday morning, Fergunecessary to keep our businesses son said she respects council’s deciCatherine Ferguson sustainable.” sion but expressed disappointment Ferguson was a supporter of the free White Rock mayor her amendment wasn’t mentioned.

But Monday evening, council members Regarding the questions that were raised, only discussed whether fees of less than $1/ financial services director Sandra Kurylo

told council nothing less than $1/hour was looked at, based on a resolution earlier this year that took free parking off the table, and city manager Peggy Clark confirmed businesses were not polled on the change. However, Sinclair noted, BIA and chamber representatives on the economic committee both supported the recommendation. Sinclair described the $1/hour rate as “a good compromise… a give-some, take-some sort of approach.” The change eliminates a $2/hour schedule currently in place for the off-season. Combined with the expanded $3/hour program, it is expected to increase the city’s parking revenues by $70,000.

Federal finance committee makes pit stop in S. Surrey

Glen Thorne explains Weatherhaven’s partnership with Tri-Metal Fabricators, and their ‘redeployable’ shelters.

The House of Commons’ standing committee on finance met on Monday in Surrey, the first stop on a six-city road trip across Canada. The series of meetings – open to guests requesting to make presentations – opened at the Hampton Inn, located on the Langley Bypass. Committee member Russ Hiebert (South Surrey-White RockCloverdale Conservative MP) commended the group’s efforts to receive feedback. “I am very pleased that my colleagues on the finance committee agreed to come to my community to hear the views of local groups on the direction our nation’s finances should be taking,” Hiebert said in a news release Monday afternoon.

“These hearings provide Canadians in our community an opportunity to have direct input into the next federal budget.” After a morning session, committee members toured Tri-Metal Fabricators in South Surrey, at 19150 21 Avenue. “My committee colleagues were impressed to see the use of hightech manufacturing employed at Tri-Metal, which exports its products around the globe, and creates high-paying, skilled jobs here in our community,” Hiebert said. Delegates Monday included representatives from the Surrey Board of Trade, Federation of Canadian Municipalities and Vancouver Rape Relief and Women’s Shelter.

‘Major hazard’ at west end of Marine Drive, near Kwomais Point

Ocean Park residents hopeful for safety strategy Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A “tricky” Ocean Park intersection is destined for improvements to address pedestrian and motorist safety. The crossroads, at Marine Drive and 128 Street, is not on any high-collision list, Surrey city engineer Philip Bellefontaine said. But once planned work is complete, “it will be a lot more simpler and a lot more logical to drive.” The area is located by Kwomais Point Park, the 5.6-hectare property at 1367 128 St. that the City of Surrey bought from the United Church in 2007. A master plan for the site was approved by Surrey council in November 2008, and the park opened to the public earlier this year. And while residents along 128 Street and Marine Drive started talking amongst themselves about safety concerns at the beginning of summer, Bellefontaine said enhancing the intersection was already in the works.

“As part of the improvements to the park, there’s going to be changes to the access,” he said. Right now, motorists westbound on Marine and southbound on 128 Street hit a sharp, blind turn where the two streets connect. Signage warns drivers to slow from 50 km/h to 20. Collisions in the past have typically involved people driving west who fail to recognize the bend and continue straight through, said Bellefontaine. For pedestrians, the intersection is “quite challenging,” he added. Nicole Nelson, who lives at the northeast corner of the intersection, raised her concerns after she had trouble crossing the road with her daughter. There is no marked pedestrian crossing, visibility is restricted and drivers aren’t slowing down, she said. “There’s nowhere anyone can cross safely,” she said. “It’s a major hazard.” She and a group of neighbours believe a pedestrian-controlled crossing and side-

walks would go a long way to improve the area, which is also popular with nearby daycare groups. A three-way stop is another idea they favour. Ryan Baldwin said that without changes, “it’s just a matter of time” before tragedy strikes. “The people that I’ve talked to have all said

they’ve had close calls,” he said. Nelson and Baldwin said response from city officials has been positive. They met with Bellefontaine last week. Bellefontaine explained the city’s plan includes repositioning the park’s entry to the intersection and creating a “stop-controlled crossroads,” with east-west traffic given priority. Once that is done, crosswalks will be improved and an enhanced bus stop with a new sidewalk into the park created on the west side. “It will be much simpler for people to cross the road. It’s a big lift in terms of what’s currently out there,” he told Peace Arch News. Bellefontaine did not know how much the work would cost, but said it would likely get underway early next year. Nelson said she is happy changes are ahead, but said it remains to be seen if they will be enough. “We still believe we’re going to need more done,” she said.

Golf tournament honours innocent victims of Surrey Six murders

Soroptimist International of White Rock

Preserving their memories

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH 1ST UNITED CHURCH

Dan Ferguson Black Press

“I’d rather not be here,” Sunil Mohan said. The father of Surrey Six murdervictim Chris Mohan was talking about the third annual Ed Schellenberg/Chris Mohan Memorial Golf Tournament held Friday at Hazelmere Golf Course in South Surrey. Sunil Mohan supports raising funds for a scholarship in the name of his son and Schellenberg, but he wishes it wasn’t necessary. Schellenberg, 55, of Abbotsford and Chris Mohan, 22, were killed in an East Whalley Ring Road highrise suite in October 2007, apparently murdered because the killers of four other men didn’t want any witnesses. Schellenberg was a gas fitter who was working in the building where the murders took place and Mohan lived next door to the murder scene. “We don’t want to see another family going through what we’re going through,” Sunil said. Thanks to some lastminute regisEd Schellenberg trations in the victim last few days, the number of paid participants was up slightly from the year before at 70. It was welcome news to Eileen Mohan, the mother of Chris, who was wondering whether interest in the three-year-old case was fading. “We’ll be raising more money to hand out for scholarships in the name of Chris and Ed,” she said. The Mohan-Schellenberg schol-

So far, four scholarships in Surrey have been funded and four more will be awarded in Abbotsford later this year and early next year. Ed Schellenberg’s wife, Lois, said events like the golf tournament are a way of keeping the memories from Chris Mohan fading. victim “I think opportunities like this keep it in the forefront,” she said. “You always hope people don’t forget.” Lois added people who personally knew Ed will always remember him, noting that some former colleagues from the gas fitting industry were taking part in the tournament.

TIDES

Another participant was RCMP Cpl. Dale Carr, who speaks for the Integrated Homicide Investigation team (IHIT), the agency that investigated the murders. Last year, Dennis Karbovanec pleaded guilty to three counts of second-degree murder in the Surrey Six killings. Four other men face first-degree murder charges. They are in jail awaiting trial. A fifth was charged with manslaughter and is currently free on bail. Carr said IHIT has a team of officers assigned full-time to disclosure, the legal process where police and prosecution files are provided to defence lawyers. “That’ll take a few more months,” Carr said. “We’re a ways away from a trial.” Eileen Mohan thinks it will be at least three more years before the case comes to trial, five if the preliminary hearings don’t go smoothly.

Responsibility lacking in social media

uddenly the social media don’t seem so social anymore. Last weekend, a teenage girl died after she was found beaten in a North Delta park; her friends immediately launched tribute pages in her memory on the social networking site, Facebook. The heartfelt postings were soon interlaced with tawdry photos and other malicious nonsense. The previous week, the sexual assault of another teenage girl at a party in Pitt Meadows became Facebook fodder, as witnesses posted photos and hurled attacks on the victim’s character. A new documentary film, Catfish, chronicles the unsettling relationship formed over Facebook between a freelance photographer in New York City and the family of an eight yearold girl in Northern Michigan who adapted one of his photos into a painting. Another film, about to be released, tells a fictionalized account of the founding of Facebook, portraying its young founder as a bit of a social reject with real live human beings. In Arkansas, a radio sports reporter was recently fired for, among other things, posting derogatory comments about her new community on her Twitter page. While the internet has opened up vast new ways for people to connect and share information, such unbridled freedom brings with it a level of responsibility. Unfortunately, the relative anonymity offered by the World Wide Web and social sites like Facebook, MySpace and Twitter, where anyone with enough imagination to create a username and password can easily concoct an entirely fictional personality, also opens the web to miscreants with mischief and malice on their minds. “Trolls,” as they’re commonly called, rarely think about the consequences of their actions. They stir up virtual trouble just for the thrill of eliciting a reaction. They spread rumours, relay gossip, demean or degrade just because they can. The results of their keyboard tapping can destroy reputations, relationships, careers, even lives. Perhaps in this time of social media, it’s also time for a refresher on social and personal responsibility.

Provincial politics and the Peace River dam

would displace dirtier fuels in South Korea and elsewhere, or the proposed new gas processing plant near Dawson Creek that will burn gas to generate its power because there isn’t enough hydro power to supply it. Coal mines continue to be developed in northeastern B.C., and without hydro supplies available, they’ll buy it from dirtier sources. NDP energy critic John Horgan, on record for years as supporting the clear engineering case for Site C, received a warm welcome. He called for a scientific and economic, rather than emotional or political decision on the project. Treaty 8 regional chief Liz Logan warned of mercury in fish as a result of the dam. That’s the kind of claim that is seized upon by environmental campaigners such as the Wilderness Committee and Sierra Club of B.C., who helped organize this rally. It’s true that flooding vegetation promotes bacteria that bring naturally occurring mercury into the food chain. It’s also true that this declines as the vegetation decays, as a 2008 study of whitefish and bull trout in the Peace River tends to confirm. It’s also true that mercury occurs in fish all over the world, and in terms of actual mercury concentrations, Logan and others in the region should be more concerned about canned tuna purchased at grocery stores in Fort St. John. But you won’t hear much about climate change or science in this debate. It’s all about the politics. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Finding a job shouldn’t cost Editor: Re: Forced to prove innocence, Sept. 3 letters. When I read the letter from K.J. Wharton of Surrey, I was so annoyed and incensed at the injustice brought against their son! Why, when an employer asks an individual to submit to fingerprinting – which the individual does willingly – must the individual pay a fee? My advice to the prospective employee is to consider the presumed employer not worthy of his services. The jerk can’t see further than his nose, and didn’t take the time to look you in the eye and honestly find out more about you. Hopefully, there are employers out there who will listen to, hire and give this young man a chance to prove himself. Often when this is done, the employer gets an honest and hard-working employee. R. Carrier, White Rock

Two religions, two messages Editor: Re: Christians share Muslims’ message, Sept. 10. The front-page headline of the Peace Arch News is very misleading. At first glance, the title seemed to say Muslims and Christians share an ideology. If people read the article, they would soon realize the headline did not refer to shared ideology, but about sharing the message that burning the Koran is not a suitable way to mark the tragic day of 9-11. Christianity is very different from Islam, because nowhere in any part of the Bible does God or Jesus Christ idealize avenging, killing or causing harm to our fellow humans. Christ’s message is all about love and forgiveness. L. Wright, Surrey Editor’s note: The headline was a literal reference to Sunnyside United’s reading aloud from the Koran during Sunday service. The Christian Bible’s references to God’s wrath, however, would be a much greater debate.

A wedge for a wedge Editor: In recent weeks, Stephen Harper’s party has tried to intimidate parliamentarians who understand the value of the gun registry in securing families and police attending domestic calls by saying if your MP votes to keep the long-gun registry, regardless of party, let them know you will not be supporting them in the next election. This is wedge politics. Public safety in matters of domestic violence is not exclusively

an urban or rural issue, north or south, east or west. Nor is the weapon of choice when a firearm is used: rifles or shotguns, long-guns. I fully support the long-gun registry. It works. It is effective. It is used. The up-front costs were spent long ago. Playing politics with people’s lives is unacceptable. If your MP voted against the long-gun registry, regardless of party, let them know you will not be supporting them in the next election. Brian Marlatt, White Rock

Categorically dumb policy Editor: As an individual who spent most of his career dealing with Asian security and intelligence issues related to Canada, I am appalled by the new “mass arrival category” policy proposed by the Harper government. To claim ownership of such a policy is a classic example of “dumb and dumber!” Such incompetence will ensure my vote in the next election will go elsewhere. L.N. Giles, Surrey

Expenses the only difference Editor: The Evergreen Line is open for business already, and doing fine – it’s called the 97 B-Line. The mayors, the premier and the transportation minister at their Coquitlam summit should have been discussing adding dedicated lanes and signal priority to 97 B-Line, rather than worrying about funding pipe dreams of trains in the sky. SkyTrain blights the neighbourhoods it crosses. Just look at: No. 3 Road, Richmond; Begbie Square, New Westminster; or Terminal Avenue, Vancouver. With dedicated lanes and signal priority, 97 B-Line would operate as a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), whisking riders along at nearSkytrain speeds. Only the costs are staggeringly different. With 19 stops, compared to the five Skytrain stations, the B-Line/ BRT is more accessible. As the northeast sector develops, an increment of the growing tax base could be set aside for deploying LRT service on the B-Line/BRT route to add capacity.

The Evergreen Line was first planned as LRT running on precisely the same route that the 97 B-Line travels today. 97 B-Line is the Evergreen Corridor’s rapid transit. Let’s get busy making it work better. Let’s build more B-Lines. And, let’s get representational government at Metro and TransLink. The mayors arrive with too much baggage. Lewis N. Villegas, White Rock

Bad breed of dog owner Editor: I walk my dogs every day – and I pick up after them every time. There are, however, some dog people who leave their dogs’ messes wherever they are deposited, and they are giving the responsible dog people a bad name. I always have three or four plastic bags with me when I walk my dogs. Today, I picked up my dogs’ feces, and those of at least two other dogs. Please, folks, if you have a dog, please do the right thing and clean up after it – for everyone’s sake. Everyone will thank you. Jerry Steinberg, Surrey

A project of the provincial and federal governments is installing cables between opposing lanes on Highway 99.

Small comfort for motorcyclists Editor: As an advocate for safety, I would like to bring to the attention of motorists the following. I agree the new cable barrier on Highway 99 between the George Massey Tunnel and the U.S. border will prevent many serious injuries in automotive crashes once this project is complete. As a motorcyclist – regardless of the safety gear some of us wear; Transport Canada-approved helmets, padded jackets, padded pants, etc. – there will be no relief or benefit for us if we are run off the road or, for some other unfortunate reason, lose control and have to hit this barrier. I would venture to guess very serious injury or worse will come to us, that’s a given.

I would ask that motorists use extreme caution when changing lanes for this reason, checking of your mirrors and shoulder checks would help. There’s approximately three feet of room for us to manoeuvre before the inevitable happens, especially travelling in the southbound fast lane. Some may think the riding season is over – and for some, it is – but there are the rest of us who choose to ride all year. So let’s keep our guards up for the two-wheelers and make this improvement to our highway a safe one for all involved.

Quick response thwarts theft A verified alarm system and quick police response is being credited with thwarting the theft of copper wire from a Campbell Heights business. Police responded to a report of a break-and-enter in progress just before 3 a.m. Sept. 14. According to police, alarm dispatchers reported seeing two individuals – via live video surveillance – in a construction site in the 3000-block of 188 Street. The suspicious pair could be seen pushing a wheelbarrow of items. When police arrived, they found no suspects on the site, but

did locate a wheelbarrow with “quite a load” of copper wire near the property’s perimeter fence, said Const. Kenn Meglic. Patrolling, officers stopped a van that was leaving the area and spoke with one man; a police dog team located another man on a nearby chicken farm, after a caller reported a suspicious male hiding in some trees, Meglic said. While both individuals are known to police, as they could not be definitively tied to the construction-site break-in, neither was arrested.

Still, the end result was positive, Meglic said. “The efforts of the private security firm during the moment combined with quick (police) response was able to thwart an actual crime from occurring,” he said. Staff Sgt. Scott Campbell described the incident as an example of how technology is assisting police, both in apprehending culprits and providing information that helps officers determine the best and safest way to approach a scene. - Tracy Holmes

The City of Surrey is now accepting applications for 2011 financial grants from non-profit groups or organizations. What kinds of organizations are eligible? Organizations will normally be expected to: • have an active governing body composed of volunteers, with paid staff excluded from voting membership; • have stable, ongoing ﬁnancial support; and • extend their service to the general public in Surrey, not excluding anyone by reason of race, religion or ethnic background. Who chooses the successful grant applications? City Council has established a Grants Evaluation Committee, consisting of four city staff members, to review all applications and make recommendations on grant payment priorities. The final decision on all grant applications is made by City Council.

The Grants Evaluation Committee will review and recommend grant payments based on the following criteria: • The need for the project, the number of residents benefiting from the grant and the value to the community; • The absence of identifiable or competing services, programs or facilities in the community; • The cost per resident, funding sources and financial stability of the organization; • The effectiveness and quality of the proposed program, project or event; • The history of the organization, including past services and programs; and • The suitability for one-time only funding for specific programs, capital projects or special events. Grants will not normally be recommended for travel, operating deficits, or services that are the responsibility of other levels of government. Any organization which receives a grant should not view the grant as an automatic source of funding in the following years. An evaluation of the use of the Surrey grant must be submitted at the end of the program, project or event. When is the deadline for grant applications: All grants requests must be submitted on an official application form and received at the office of the City Clerk not later than 4:30 p.m., September 30, 2010.

Delta teen killed Dan Ferguson

CITY NEWS

Black Press

More than 100 police officers from Delta and around the Lower Mainland are working on the investigation of Laura Szendrei’s murder. Mackie Park and two neighbouring schools, Gray Elementary and Sands Secondary, remained behind police lines Monday, as officers hunted for evidence in the Saturday afternoon attack that killed the 15-year-old Burnsview Secondary student. Szendrei is being remembered as an outstanding student and a feisty competitor. She was on her way to meet some friends at a football game at Sands Secondary around 1:30 p.m. when she was attacked in a heavily wooded section of the small municipal park. A friend heard her scream. She died the next day in hospital. On Monday, a Port Moody police cruiser could be seen in a school parking lot next to the Delta Police Department (DPD) mobile command post. In another lot, an Abbotsford Police cruiser was guarding another mobile command post and a New Westminster Police van was on the street. Delta Police spokesperson Sgt.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGS OCTOBER 4, 2010 Facebook photo

Laura Szendrei, 15, died hours after she was attacked in North Delta.

Sharlene Brooks confirmed police were not ruling out the possibility the attack was related to two other incidents in Delta parks in May and June where women were approached from behind and struck on the head. The DPD is still looking for a young male seen leaving the park around 1:15 p.m. on the day of incident. He is described as 16 to 25 years old with a medium build wearing a white short-sleeve shirt and cargo-style shorts. He had what is believed to be a backpack on his back and was either on the phone or texting while walking out of the park at 81A Avenue. “(This person) may possess information that they’re not even aware to be significant,” Brooks said.

Vancouver at the time, soon found work here leading running and cross-country ski classes. Later, under former operations director Doug Stone, she got involved with the Tour de White Rock – her first year was the tour’s second – the Bay Run, development of the promenade and sundry other parks and recreation programs and initiatives. Those first eight years were “just amazing,” she said. Before returning to the city as manager of leisure services, Clarkson spent five years with Peace Arch Community Services (now Sources Community Resource Centre), where she helped develop the organization’s Semiahmoo Family Services division. When the city reorganized in 1995, Clarkson was hired on a temporary contract to lead the leisure-services department. Three months later, she was offered the job permanently. It is “a work of love,” Clarkson said, of a career in recreation, noting such services touch more citizens on a daily basis than

police and fire. Highlights of the past 15 years include completing the city’s first Leisure Services Master Plan, seeing the Centennial Arena building renovated and watching the White Rock Community Centre at Miramar Village come to life. “All of it is my pride and joy,” Clarkson said, noting the community centre has already surpassed revenue goals. “It’s amazing how the community keeps sewing itself together.” And while there is more to be done – including the Centre for Active Living, due to open in the new year – Clarkson is confident the vision Lower encouraged 30 years ago remains strong and will continue to be strong after she moves on. “It actually is a good thing to have change in leisure services,” she said. “Whatever will come, will come. “The Centre for Active Living is going to be a big project, but somebody can see that through. “It’s a leap of faith. A good leap.”

Camp fundraiser

A fundraiser recognizing “such an important piece of history” raised more than $350 to help send children to camp. The Sept. 19 event at the White Rock Elks hall marked the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain – the Second World War battle described as “one of the most pivotal turning points of the war.” The fundraiser featured a screening of the film, Battle of Britain, live music and a meal of bangers and mash. Admission was by donation. It was “a great success,” the Elks’ Senga Cowie said. “We had about 55 or 60 people. We didn’t know if we’d have eight or 108. We were so overwhelmed with how many came.” Donations collected totalled $357. All of the money will go towards giving children who might not otherwise have the opportunity a chance to enjoy camp.

A true performer at heart Max Tell’s Happy Stir-fry S

local flavours

torytelling is a tradition as old as time, used to instill moral values and preserve cultures. Robert Stelmach – who goes by the moniker of Max Tell – utilizes the ancient art form through songs, stories and poetry, educating and Kristyl Clark entertaining young children from around the globe. While Stelmach admits he hadn’t planned on becoming a children’s entertainer, he said he is thrilled with the turn of events. “Since I was really young, I had dreamed of becoming a writer of many types – songs, stories, movies, etc.,” he said. “I’ve followed that path and it has lead me to discover a passion for storytelling.” In 1986, the father of two wrote a poem, entitled The gift that looked like everything, which he sent out to friends. The poem fell into the hands of an elementary school teacher in Matsqui, who invited him to read it in front of the class. It would be the first of several class visits. “As soon as I’d finished, another teacher asked if I could read it for their class, then another and another...It was a whole new life for me. The kids were wonderful – I realized I wasn’t just a writer, I was really was a performer at heart.” When Stelmach isn’t busy touring the libraries, concert halls and schools, he likes to whip up healthy meals at home in his White Rock kitchen. But cooking healthy wasn’t a priority, he admits. “When I first started cooking for my children, I started with hotdogs, hamburgers and canned soup, but soon felt that they were not getting the nutrition that they needed. I experimented with a number of possibilities and came up with three general recipes that my children loved. Here is one of their favourites.”

Local nurse to lend healing hand in Haiti Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

Though more than eight months have passed since a devastating earthquake struck in Haiti, the need for help in the impoverished country is just as desperate as ever, according to one White Rock resident. “The people of Haiti are no better off than they were right after the quake,” said Michele Goodsell, a registered nurse who will be travelling to Haiti in November. “They’re just heading into their rainy season, so a lot of the tents that they were given are now in pieces, so people are homeless and have nowhere to go.” While infrastructure in the Caribbean country is still an urgent issue for many of the hundreds of thousands of Haitians affected by the quake, Goodsell and her volunteer teammates will be offering assistance of a different nature. The group, known as Team Canada Healing Hands, will be in Haiti Nov. 3 to 17, working to provide rehabilitation care

In addition to offering rehabilitation services,

there is a heavy emphasis on educating and training local rehabilitation workers, something Goodsell said is an essential component of the group’s work. “Part of the Haitian

culture is that they care for their family members when they’re ill, that’s just part of what they do,” Goodsell explained. “To not allow them the opportunity to educate themselves to be able to do that, I think is a big injustice.” Goodsell was first introduced to Healing Hands by a former coworker, Karen Mallet, a speech pathologist who has travelled with the group for a few years. “It changed her life, but not in a really dramatic way, but really from a professional perspective of how much good that you can do,” Goodsell said. “It’s not about flying in and saving the day and doing work. It’s really more about creating a sustainable environment to maintain their own health-care system… where they’re obtaining the education and the knowledge to continue with things when we’re not there.” In preparation for the trip, Goodsell – a Thunder Bay, Ont. native who moved to White Rock four years ago – said she is brushing up on her

ICBC moves to pare optional rates again Jeff Nagel Black Press

ICBC will cut its optional auto insurance premiums by an average of three per cent. The cut is in addition to a 2.4 per cent basic rate reduction approved by regulators. Both reductions take effect Nov. 1 and hand back a combined $80 million to customers, according to ICBC president and CEO Jon Schubert.

He said ICBC optional premiums have fallen 20 per cent over the past six years as a result of less frequent crashes. Optional rates, where ICBC faces competition with private insurers, have come down much faster than basic premiums, where the Crown corporation holds a monopoly. The basic rate cut is the first in 10 years and still leaves the compulsory coverage costs above 2005 levels due to hikes in 2006 and ’07.

The text of the agreement TransLink still needs to deliver between the mayors and the its $400 million capital share of province doesn’t explicitly list the $1.4-billion Evergreen Line Jeff Nagel

to Coquitlam. But mayors last year raised taxes and fares just enough to bail the transportation authority out of deficit, but not to deliver Evergreen. They had been insisting the province deliver new revenue sources for TransLink to ensure a broader package of transit expansion – not merely an Evergreen-only solution. Both sides now say there’s a new spirit of co-operation. Bond said how much to build and how much money must be raised will be up to the Metro mayors council to decide. Mayors council chair Peter Fassbender, mayor of Langley City, called it a “significant step” and said local cities “want to be part of the solution.” Fassbender stressed the need for a long-term framework, rather than one-off solutions. “This is only the road map,” he said. “The heavy lifting comes after.”

Considering options

The conundrum of how to raise more cash to finance TransLink has bedevilled the region for years. The rules set in 2007 to govern TransLink limited it to rais-

ing property taxes, fares and the fuel tax, which rose three cents last year and can’t go farther without legislative change. A controversial annual vehicle levy is also within TransLink’s powers to impose but mayors are reluctant to use it. Other options have been considered. TransLink’s former CEO wanted Victoria to share the Property Transfer Tax, a cash cow that generates as much as $1 billion a year for the province. Another idea was a small tax on all containers passing through local port terminals. Even a cellphone levy was briefly suggested. A share of the carbon tax is the idea many mayors still feel makes the most sense. Some mayors have suggested the province take back full control of TransLink and do as it wishes. But forcing a solution on the region along with new or increased taxes and fees would run counter to the province’s strategy so far of ensuring mayors shoulder responsibility – and blame – for TransLink tax and fare hikes.

Westminster House Retirement Community

hoices for retirement on the Peninsula are about as diverse as the people heading into their golden years. And whoever said retirement facilities are sterile and hospital-like in nature have yet to visit Westminster House at 1653 140 St. in South Surrey. With a strong commitment to health, happiness and comfort, Westminster House provides high-quality care to its residents, in a warm and inviting atmosphere. Recently, Peace Arch News was invited for a tour to check out the

facilities, as well as to meet the men and women, including numerous couples, who call Wesminster House ‘home.’ From the friendly staff to the clean and modern facilities, Westminster House’s motto, “Rooted in Love – Growing in Community,” resonates throughout the entire building and is felt the moment you step into the front door. On a crisp, fall afternoon, the sunlight spills into the front cooridor, which is tastefully decorated with beautiful tapestries and plush, inviting furniture. Over in the cafe – a cozy nook for

residents to enjoy complimentary snacks and beverages – a couple enjoy a hot cup of tea and fresh-baked cookies. Across the way in the music room, men and women bask in the hypnotic, soothing melody of the violin, played by Wesminster House’s music therapist – a petite, high-spirited woman who has no problem capturing the attention and admiration of residents. Unique to this retirement community, according to Administrative Services Susanne Fedirchuck who lead the tour, is their ‘aging in place’ philosophy.

“This allows couples of varying stages of care needs to remain in the same room together, versus separating couples,” she said. “After years of marriage, it seems a shame to separate them.” Last year, Alice Sedman moved into an independent care suite at Wesminister House when her health began to suffer. After years of good health, Alice was suddenly diagnosed with osteoporosis and Parkinson’s disease, which she says � see page A31

Birthday wish grants $255 for food bank When it came to celebrating Molly Rapske’s milestone birthday last week, the 90-year-old had one request for her guests – ‘‘no birthday cards.’’ “Who would want to get

100 birthday cards?” she asked. “What a waste of money that would be – where would I put them all?” Instead, the Evergreen Baptist Retirement Home resident put a notice in

members and peers from her church. On Sunday, 125 of her friends and family gathered at Evergreen to celebrate her big day, all of whom she says were happy to oblige her on her birthday wish. By the end of the day, Rapske had collected $255, which she donated to the food bank Tuesday. Rapske, who immigrated with her parents from Germany to Canada back in 1924, is a picture of perfect health. She credits her faith, healthy lifestyle and philanthropy for her good fortune. “I’m feeling good – I don’t have a single pain in my body,” says Rapske who has outlived all four of her siblings. “I play the organ for the morning service in my chapel and help with the coffee cart.” Having a close family is also a blessing for Rapske who has three children, seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Looking back on 90 years, Rapske says she has learned the importance of making herself available to people.

There’s no place like Westminster House � from page A29 made it impossible to continue living alone in her White Rock condo. “It was just getting to be too much,” says Alice who graciously invited us into her new suite. “I found there were so many things I couldn’t do anymore, like bring up the groceries.” After looking at several places on the Peninsula, Alice says she felt Wesminster House was a natural fit. “The staff here are all wonderful and very friendly – they work really hard to make it feel like home... it’s nice to know someone is always there if you need them and that I don’t have to move if my disease progresses.” There is also a full range of care services available to residents – from independent, in which residents, like Alice, require only housekeeping, meals and laundry, up to full care and palliative care. Westminster House also offers respite care, for those who may need it following a hospital discharge, or if a family member needs a short break from caring for a loved one. Suite sizes vary from two bedrooms down to single rooms, based on a resident’s needs, and staff on hand include RNs, LPNs, care aides, housekeepers, dietician, physiotherapist, foot care nurse, denturist, massage therapist and hair salon. Each and every month, residents can participate in up to 150 different

Westminster House residents enjoyed the various activities at the retirement community’s annual Fair Days, held last month. activities, from crafts to armchair exercises, hand chime choir and in-house bowling, according to Recreation and Volunteer Manager Nancy Armitage. Themed dinner nights, shuffleboard games and Wheel of Fortune are just a few of the fun-filled programs that take place on site. For those who want to bowl, but have a hard time bending down too far, a specialized ramp is available to make it a little easier. For shuffleboard players who may not be able to slide the rocks as well as they used to, a slingshot device has been added for extra assistance. Westminster House’s Christian philosophy is another characteristic that

sets it apart from other communities. Two pastoral ministers provide an in-house service every Sunday morning in the on-site chapel, as well as bible study on Fridays. The White Rock Baptist Church runs Hymn Sing every Monday, and the church’s senior choir – the Friendship Singers – put on a concert for residents once per month. The Catholic church visits every Wednesday for communion, and the Anglican church is also on-site once a month for services. Aside from having close ties with various churches on the Peninsula, Westminster House places a huge emphasis on being involved in other aspects of the community, which includes running an intergenerational program that brings together youth

and seniors. Grade 3 and 4 students from Bayridge Elementary School visit residents once per month throughout the school year to participate in projects such as crafts, reading and writing. Making sure that residents always feel safe, comfortable and at home, is a top priority to Susanne and the rest of the staff at Wesminster House. “We realize what a big transition it is for our residents to leave the house they’ve been living at for years – we want to make the transition as easy and as comfortable as possible. Whether it’s a set of curtains that have hung in their homes for 26 years, we always make sure our residents know that they can decorate their suite however they wish to make it feel like home.”

New hope for those at risk for Alzheimer’s Scientists are still racing to find a cure for Alzheimer’s disease. Although there currently is no cure for the devastating disease, evidence points to strategies individuals can take to help slow the onset of the disease or help prevent memory loss. While the symptoms and onset of Alzheimer’s disease are most notable during a person’s senior years, scientists say that the neurological changes of Alzheimer’s may actually start much earlier on – as early as when a person is in his or her 20s. A frantic lifestyle, poor dietary choices and inactivity can contribute to Alzheimer’s over one’s lifetime. Recognizing behaviours or other habits that may contribute to Alzheimer’s is the first step to making changes to prevent the condition.

seniors notes

Although there aren’t any magic pills or potions, there are easy things anyone can do to reduce risk of Alzheimer’s disease: * Stop smoking and greatly reduce alcohol intake. * Manage diet to control or prevent diabetes. * Avoid activities that can lead to head injuries. * Eat a balanced diet, and one that limits processed foods. * Enjoy brain-friendly foods, such as those high in Omega fatty acids.

* Make attempts to reduce stress. * Avoid a sedentary lifestyle and behaviours that lead to obesity. * Prevent high cholesterol and hypertension. * Get plenty of sleep and restorative rest. * Keep the mind active with puzzles, reading and other thought-inducing activities. The Mayo Clinic reports that exercise is very important to keeping Alzheimer’s at bay. In fact, it may be the most important component of preventing the disease. Scientists have documented that physical activity effectively reduces the probability of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias over the duration of time. This makes exercise an essential part of anyone’s lifestyle.

Boost your immune system for optimal health The strength of a person’s immune system is generally what determines if he or she gets sick. If two people are exposed to the same germs, the one with a weaker immune system tends to get sick. Medical experts often agree that the elderly and the very young can experience serious and adverse reactions to seemingly mundane illnesses. Simple colds or the flu can turn into pneumonia and other life-threatening situations if left untreated. The culprit is often an underdeveloped or compromised immune system. As you age, your physiology changes. Bones become less dense, hormones fluctuate, and you may experience a weaker immune system. As a result, seniors are more susceptible to illness than their younger counterparts. But boosting the immune system by changing your diet, exercising and getting outdoors can be a way to stay healthy. Doctors say that it is possible to boost your immune system. The secrets lie in understanding how the immune system works – and how your everyday life can offer you greater protection. In simple terms, the immune system is a network of cells and organs that blocks unwanted visitors from wreaking havoc inside of the body. Should a germ get by, the body has strong defenders that can eliminate the threat. These

Controlling diet and including fruits and vegetables on a daily basis is one way seniors can keep their immune system running strong as cold and flu season arrives. are known as antibodies. When you get an inoculation, a small amount of an offending particle is put into your body so that your immune system can develop antibodies against it. Should you be exposed to that type of invader again, you will possess the antibodies to fight it.

Your immune system can lose some of its protective properties if it is faced with a constant onslaught of diseases and must overcompensate for poor health habits. But there are ways to get your immune system back in fighting shape. 1. Get plenty of sleep. Mom was right ... lack of sleep can affect the body’s ability

to function correctly, which includes fending off disease. Routine sleep deprivation can definitely affect overall health. 2. Reduce stress. Stress can have a number of negative health implications. It slowly wears away at the immune system and leaves you susceptible to a host of illnesses. Take measures to reduce stress as much as possible to be healthier. 3. Exercise. Moderate exercise has been shown to improve immune system function. However, overdoing it and running yourself ragged can actually be detrimental. Brisk walking or bike riding can be a great form of moderate exercise. Always check with a doctor before exercising to be sure it fits with your lifestyle. 4. Drink plenty of water. As you age, the thirst reflex becomes less pronounced, and a loss of taste may mean you pass up foods with a high water content. Dehydration can wreak havoc on the body. Water is necessary to flush out toxins that could lead to disease. 5. Eat a rainbow of foods. Brightly coloured foods are full of the antioxidants you need to improve health and keep the immune system in top form. Tomatoes have lycopene, berries are a great addition to your diet and beans are high in fiber that keeps the digestive system working correctly.

Don’t spend another moment alone! Making “the move” is easier than you think. Spacious and affordable suites, including 3 home cooked meals, housekeeping and linen service, 24 hour emergency response, recreation and transportation.

Senior drivers urged to have hearing, vision tested Seniors aren’t what they were 20 years ago, and so much the better. Seniors are in better shape than ever, they are active, they work longer, and they drive longer. Keeping their driver’s licence is very important to most seniors, especially those for whom their car represents independence and an active life.

In 2005, one in eight drivers was over 65 years old. Based on driver average, this age group accounts for the lowest rate of accidents. However, when based on the number of kilometres driven, the over-70 group has exceptionally high rate of accidents. It is therefore important to recognize the physiological changes associated with

Eagles’ forward Daniel Gentzler tries to bury a pass that slipped past Coquitlam defenceman Matt Mazzarolo and goaltender Khaleed Devji. Gentzler missed this chance, but the team still scored seven goals to win Sunday.

Eagles win first in front of home fans Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

It took until the third weekend of the season, but the Surrey Eagles finally won a game in front of a home crowd. After opening the weekend with a 4-2 loss on the road to the Coquitlam Express Friday, the Surrey Eagles exacted a measure of revenge two days later, opening the offensive floodgates to win 7-3 at South Surrey Arena. Forwards Mike Krgovich – playing in his first games of the season – and Tyler Morley led the Eagles’ attack with one goal and two assists apiece, with Erik Cooper, Michael Stenerson, Brad McGowan, Jeff Vanderlugt and Brandon Morley adding singles. Defenceman Riley Sweeney chipped in with two assists. Brandon Morley – the 16-year-old younger brother of the Eagles’ captain, Tyler – also had an assist to go with his goal, which was the first of his BCHL career.

With a 5-3 record, the Eagles sit in second but I think we really have the makings of a place in the B.C. Hockey League’s Coastal good power play here,” Erhart said. “It was nice, too, to score some goals fiveConference, just two points shy of the on-five, too. The first weekend, we scored Langley Chiefs. Surrey’s hot start has seen them go 4-1 on the road, but they were almost every goal on the power play, and we winless in two games at home had five (even-strenth goals) before Sunday’s win.

an unassisted marker in the third to put the home side ahead, and teammate Garrick Perry added an empty-netter with 1:11 left in the game to put it out of reach. “Coquitlam got off to a quick start, and put us back a bit. We just seemed a little tired, being on the tail-end of a five games in seven days stretch,” Erhart said. “We had some guys with off-nights, and all in all, we just got outplayed a bit. We played with a lot more jump on Sunday.” The Eagles and Express will face off for the third straight time tonight (Wednesday) at Coquitlam Sports Centre. Puck drop is 7 p.m. The Eagles then hit the road this weekend for a pair of games against the Interior Division. On Friday, they travel to Quesnel to battle the Millionaires, and on Saturday night they face off against former captain Derek Henderson and his new team, the Prince George Spruce Kings.

You can either be a victim of the New Economy or you can become RICH because of it. It’s up to you. Find out what the Government and the Big Banks don’t want you to know & what your accountant and your financial planner are not able to tell you...

“Alberta Man Goes From Dead-End $30K Year Job to MultiMillionaire by Age 35 Using Proven Rich Dad, Poor Dad Strategies. Now Teaches Thousands of British Columbians How to Get Rich in Canada (in The New Canadian Economy) at this Amazing FREE Event.”

Robert Kiyosaki with Darren Weeks Dear Financially Frustrated Friend: Are you tired of working your butt off and never getting ahead? Sick of sinking further into debt without any end in sight? Are you fed up with getting taxed to death while watching your tax dollars wasted? Do you see others getting wealthy through Real Estate, Business or Investing, and wonder how they do it? Had enough of those “late-nite TV” Americans ramming their “Get Rich in Real Estate/Tax Leins/Stocks/ Internet” JUNK down our throats (you know, all those tactics that “don’t quite work” here in Canada?). As the stock markets crash and the Big Banks get bailed out, do you wonder why you never seem to get ahead by “doing what you’re told” and investing in stocks, mutual funds, RRSP’s and GIC’s? If you answered “yes” to any of the above, then you will definitely want to do whatever it takes to be at my upcoming “How to Get Rich in Canada” event. But Why Should You Listen to Me? Good question – you should only take advice from people who are successful, and hopefully more so than you are. (In fact, after you ask them about their “net worth”, you might want to “fire” your financial planner and/or banker) My name is Darren Weeks, and I am proud to say that many of my students across the country call me the “Canadian Rich Dad”. Why? Because the monthly Passive Income (i.e. money I don’t have to work for) from my many businesses, real estate holdings and investing ventures is more than what most Canadians work hard for all year long. I’ve made money during good economies and I’ve also made money during bad economies. (In fact, huge fortunes have been made during the worst of economic times). Now don’t get me wrong... I don’t say this to brag. I am telling you this because I want you to know that I don’t just talk a good talk – I actually do what I will teach you to do. But I Haven’t Always Been So Successful... I am the first to admit it – I was a very poor student in high school and University (in fact it took me an extra year just to get through). And when I finally did graduate, my first job right out of the door was with the Alberta Government! I putzed around at a dead-end $30K a year job for far too long before I couldn’t stand it any more and I quit to start my own company. During the 90’s I built up a considerable Real Estate portfolio, and I kept going with different businesses and investment opportunities as well. In fact, by the time I read Robert Kiyosaki’s all time best selling book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”, I was already doing very well financially. I was so impressed with Kiyosaki’s message, in 2001 I became a “Rich Dad Facilitator” to help spread the Rich Dad message to Canadians. And now, after all of these years, I am very pleased to have been able to show hundreds of thousands of Canadians across the country how to take control of their own finances, and to live life on their own terms. I have spurred dozens and dozens of

people to become multi-millionaires in 5 years or less. Now I do not take credit for their success – they took the action and actually did something – and I am just happy that I was able to inspire them in some way. “...(Darren’s) passion for helping others has been a great inspiration to me and I now truly understand about giving first with no expectations in return. Darren and his advisors/speakers have helped us in many other ways as well, too many to list.” KEN BEATON – OTTAWA, ON.

Darren Weeks, Canadian “Multi-Millionaire” (from Edmonton), is revealing the proven success strategies he learned personally from Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad, Poor Dad), and has perfected for our unique Canadian situation. Darren is offering an absolutely FREE event in White Rock on Thursday, October 7 to show how you too can become financially independent and be able to do whatever you want...in 5 years or less (No matter what is happening in the economy). He’s also giving away an Amazing FREE gift to every attendee who brings a guest. His NEW audio CD “The 7 Keys to Creating Wealth in Canada” – a $39.95 value – Free of charge just for bringing a friend (your guest gets one too)!

Why Should You Come to My FREE “How to Get Rich in Canada” Event? This is an event you will want to attend in order to learn... ✔ How to Make BIG money in Canada’s emerging new economy. ✔ Why the wealth strategies of our parent’s generation don’t work anymore, and what really works now. ✔ The difference between the advice given to the Rich and the Middle Class. ✔ The fastest and most popular way to create millions of $$$. ✔ If “No-Money-Down” real estate inCanada is fact or fiction (the answer may surprise you). ✔ Why personal associations are critical to your financial freedom. ✔ How to “Recession-Proof” Yourself and your family. ✔ How the CASHFLOW quadrants explain the conspiracy by the BIG banks, mutual Co’s and government to keep Canadians poor and dependant. ...and so much more. In fact, many people come to my events time and time again because each one is always different, they want to have the messages re-inforced, and they like being around other positive, action-oriented people. The Government and the Big BANKS are Conspiring to Keep YOU Poor. Big Brother and the Big Banks want to keep you under their thumbs. But with the knowledge that I am going to share with you (and that your accountant/ financial planner will not, or are not able to tell you) you will learn what you need to do to become truly financially free. It is my mission to expose how the Big Banks and Financial companies always make money off average Canadians with their “Management Expense Ratios” and fees – even when their investors are losing their shirts by following their lousy advice. The game is stacked against the average investor – and is completely in their favor…unless you learn the strategies of the rich and “become the bank”. I’ll show you how at this FREE event. You Will Learn More in These 3 Hours Than Most Speakers will teach you in 3 days! I know that is a pretty steep claim, but it is absolutely TRUE. My teaching style is light-years ahead of the way you are used to learning in school. My sessions allow you to capture the information much faster and easier than at any seminar you have ever been to. “...I never thought that I could learn so much and gain so much during a free seminar. I would recommend this Fast Track event to anyone who wants to learn to be financially free”. EVA YE, VANCOUVER BC (WITH OVER $10M IN REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS). What Does Being Financially FREE Mean? It means you never have to: ✘ Work for somebody else. ✘ Limit your holidays to just 2 weeks a year. ✘ Order the cheapest items on the menu at a nice restaurant. ✘ Argue with your spouse about money. ✘ Get taken advantage of with stupid financial advice from broke “professional advisors”. ✘ Worry that you won’t have enough money at the end of the month. So How Long Will It Take You to Become Financially Free? I firmly believe that EVERYONE can become wealthy within 5 years or sooner of attending this life changing FREE event.

This is very possible. Thousands of people who have attended this very same event are well on their way to financial freedom. They not only learned the secrets of the Rich, they realized that taking ACTION will ensure their

personal financial freedom – just like it will for you.

And Why is This Event FREE? By now you are probably a little skeptical. Perhaps you’ve been to other “free” events that promised you the world, gave you a little bit of information, and then did the old “bait-and –switch” on you. They probably tried to get you to buy some kind of super expensive Real Estate course (or other training). We do NOT do that at my events. We have some books and cashflow games available if you want them, and there is no pressure to purchase anything. Now putting on FREE events is very expensive, so to help defray the costs I have a very few, select sponsors. You get a fantastic education, I get to meet you and spread the Rich Dad message, and the sponsors get a few minutes to show you what they do. The best thing is... we all win! My goal with putting on these events is to start a relationship with you and get to know you a bit. Robert Kiyosaki taught me “Give first, and then you will get back.” It has worked very well for me. So leave your cheque book at home, bring a friend and just come out to the event with an open mind. Fair enough? How About if I Give You Even MORE? If I’m going to give away the farm, I might as well go even one step further...so, just for bringing a guest to this Free event, I want to give you another FREE gift... My “7 Keys to Creating Wealth in Canada” Audio CD (a $39.95 value). On this CD I show you exactly what I would do to

become Financially Free in less than 5 years, starting from a homeless shelter with my family, in a new city, with no money, no friends, no job and being $35K in credit card debt! My events fill up fast. This one is only a few days away, so take a moment now to pre-register while it is on your mind. See you at the top! Darren Weeks.

You must register immediately to attend my upcoming FREE “How to Get Rich in Canada” event. WHITE ROCK Thursday, October 7 12:00 - 3:00 pm and 7:00 - 10:00 pm Pacific Inn Resort 1160 King George Blvd. Here are 2 ways to do it:

Defence leads Rams to win

Showcasing her unique

Sunday, October 3 10 am - 4 pm

Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

For the fourth consecutive week, the Big Kahuna Rams failed to score an offensive touchdown. Lucky for them, this time special teams and defence picked up the slack, leading the team to a 31-14 win over the Chilliwack Huskers Sunday afternoon at Exhibition Stadium in Chilliwack. Despite a sluggish offence that amassed just 150 net yards, the Rams’ returner extraordinaire Nick Downey had 128 total puntreturn yards – highlighted by an 83-yard return for a touchdown – and defensive backs Karl Delong and Spencer Boehm each returned interceptions for touchdowns; Delong’s effort was 37 yards, Boehm’s was a 21-yard scamper. Rams’ kicker Nick Boyd connected on three of four field-goal attempts – from 35, 42 and 14 yards – while adding one single, to round out the scoring. “We always say if you win twothirds of the game, you’re probably going to come out on top, and we did that – our defence and special teams were very good,” said Rams’ defensive co-ordinator Tyler McLaren. “There’s lots and lots of room for improvement… but the biggest thing is that we got the win.” The Rams’ last offensive touchdown came Aug. 21, when quarterback Nathaniel White scored on a nine-yard run in the fourth quarter of the team’s 59-14 win over the Kamloops Broncos. “We’re on the right track,” McLaren said of the offence. White, who played through an

Potkins threw for 120 yards, and two interceptions, and was 13-for24 in passing. McLaren said White was “week to week” and that they hoped to get him some game time at quarterback in this weekend’s game. Potkins’ favourite target Sunday was B.C. Lions’ draft pick Matt Chapdelaine, who caught five passes, albeit for only 29 yards total. Griffin Bullock had three reception for 31 yards. The Rams had just 44 yards rushing, led by Jake Glass with 21. Chilliwack’s run game wasn’t much better – the Huskers managed just 55 yards.

All Makes Collision Repair

“The guys played really well and limited Chilliwack’s opportunities,” McLaren said. “Anytime you can stop the run and force them to throw the ball, you’re going to be successful.” Just one week remains in the B.C. Football Conference regular season, with the Rams set to wrap up the 10-game schedule with another tilt – this time at home – against Chilliwack on Saturday at South Surrey Athletic Park. Should the Rams, currently in third-place tie with the Victoria Rebels – both have 4-5 records – win to end the season, they’ll clinch third place regardless of whether or not the Rebels win their final game, a tough road tilt versus the 8-1 Okanagan Sun. The Rams won both games against the Rebels this season, thus giving them the tie-breaker.

Last year’s pitching coach, Darcy Sidhoo, is returning to school, but will remain with the Tritons in a supporting role. Smithson, who coached the Junior Tritons this past season, joins the U18 team, replacing outgoing head coach Brent Swanson, who resigned to take an assistant coaching job at the University of B.C.
