LAMBs bring a bit o’ Britain to Cruise-In British car enthusiasts will again be parking their cars at Langley Good Times Cruise-In, set for Saturday, Sept. 6 Troy Landreville

Langley Advance Twitter @LangleyAdvance

At Langley Good Times Cruise-In this Saturday (Sept. 6), look for a row of LAMBs parked along the grass at Douglas Park. LAMB is an acronym for Langley Area Mostly British Car Club, and for the past 10 years, club members and their cars have been regulars at the Langley Good Times CruiseIn, the community’s largest annual charity fundraising event. LAMB past president Carole Borgens has been taking part in the Cruise-In since the first year the club began showing cars at the show and shine. The club’s participation has grown, both in the number of cars shown (there were roughly a dozen cars on display in 2013) and the size of its display at Douglas Park. “It’s grown beyond just cars,” said Borgens, who is taking her 1990 XJ-5 Jaguar V12 to Cruise-In. “We really push our members to understand the joy of the day, and to come out into beautiful Douglas Park. It’s very social. You see people that you don’t see any other time, you’ll see them at the shows.” The Cruise-In charities keep LAMBS members coming back. One-hundred per cent of all proceeds from Cruise-In, including funds collected from vehicle registrations, are funneled back into the community through the charities that benefit from the event. “We are a Langley-based club, and that’s our way of giving back to the community,” Borgens said. LAMB’s charity of choice is Big Brothers Big Sisters of Langley, and proceeds from the club’s annual St. George’s show in Fort Langley goes to the local group that pairs children with adult mentors. Cruise-In allows LAMB members to disperse their support in other directions. Club member and webmaster Marty Ross is planning on bringing his Morris Minor,

LAMB member Kelly McPherson is showing his four-speed, 1979 Triumph Spitfire at Cruise-In. The Spitfire is one of seven English collectible cars that McPherson owns, the oldest being a 1958 TR3, which is on schedule for a full restoration. “I came out of the Corvette world and drove a little English car, and never looked

LANGLEY — The 2014 Ride Into History brought in $20,580 for programs at Langley’s Gateway of Hope. Organizers are attributing the exponential increase in proceeds to increased community support. “Statistics speak,” said Gateway of Hope executive

director Jim Coggles. “By far the most successful Ride the Gateway of Hope has had.” Last year’s event raised about $4,000. Aldergrove Financial Group, Envision Financial and Prospera Credit Union continue to support the cause.

back,” McPherson said. “It became an addiction.” So much so, he started his own British parts company, Best British Car Parts. The appeal to McPherson is simple: “They’re fun. They’re a fun car to drive, they’re easy to maintain. Everything about them is simple.” And while the forecast calls for sunshine, the potential of rain won’t keep McPherson and most of the LAMB members away come Sept. 6. “We’re rain or shine, most of us,” Borgens said. “English cars by their very nature (are

driven in the rain) and if you’re going to own one, you pretty much have to have that mind set, don’t you think?” Borgens said the beauty of being in Douglas Park is the LAMBs cars are behind ropes, safe from baby buggies and “things that can scratch your car,” so members feel comfortable about leaving them and venturing out into downtown to take in all the sights and sounds of Cruise-In. “You have to see what’s out there,” McPherson added. “That’s the whole flavour of the show. We’re only one lick of the ice cream.”

The Friday evening concert, which also gave people a chance to show off their bikes and other vehicles at the Fort Langley National Historic Site, brought out about 500 people, 75 classic vehicles and 85 motorcycles. About $2,900 in donations were collected.

The funds, net revenue from the Ride Into History, are earmarked for programs. Gateway provides emergency short term shelter for homeless people as well as life-skills training, counselling, job training, a community kitchen, meal programs and more.

Almost a decade late, a new church takes shape

Using tilt-up construction, the walls of the new Adventist church were poured on site and recently raised using a crane, defining the shell of the new building on Fraser Highway. Pastor David Jamieson was recently on hand to watch some of them go up. (Photo: TINA COOKE) mandated roadways and allowances. “We’ve been looking at dirt for almost a year,” Dauncey said. “So when the walls started to tilt up, we started getting very excited.”

They are expecting to get the keys in April, and while there will still be some work to do to finish off the new “home,” Dauncey said, the dream of a new church is very close to being realized.

“It’s a moment. It’s a moment we’ve been waiting for for almost 10 years, and finally, seeing the walls go up, well... It seems real for us now.” Right now, Dauncey’s focus is also on an upcoming AOK fundraiser. The Adventist church is hosting its annual charity golf classic on Monday, Sept. 15. Registration is at 10:30 a.m., with a shotgun start at noon. Tickets are $200 for golf and dinner and $50 for dinner only. For more information or registration, people can call 778-549-3896. During its 11-year history, the golf tournament has raised almost $500,000 for the AOK programs, including the wellknown Extreme Home Repair, the single mothers oil changes, summer camps for kids, and a breakfast program they run at Shortreed Elementary. The hope is that this year’s fundraising tourney will generate another $30,000.

SURREY SURRE

LANGLEY — Mounting construction costs have forced the Seventh-day Adventist Church congregation to get creative. They’re going to call on the “talents and gifts” of members from the Acts of Kindness Extreme Home Repair team to help with some finishing work on a new 60,000-square-foot church currently under construction in east Langley. Involvement of the AOK members in finishing classrooms and meeting space on the second floor of the new church will make the new digs feel more like home, and save about $100,000, which Acts of Kindness Pastor Michael Dauncey said is critical in a construction project of this magnitude. In fact, AOK is such a huge part of what the Aldergrove-

based church is all about, that the $14-million new worship and outreach centre at 23589 Old Yale Rd. in Langley could likely be called the Acts of Kindness Centre. “It’s such a key role in what we do as a church here,” Dauncey said, noting the AOK concept and community outreach initiatives first began in the mid-1990s and has grown dramatically through the years. Planning for a new church actually began almost a decade ago, in 2005, with the purchase of some land off 200th Street. When those plans fell apart, the entire project was forced into limbo for the better part of five years, Dauncey explained. Finally, after purchasing a new five-acre site sandwiched between Old Yale Road and Fraser Highway, the church broke ground in June 2013. The next several months were spent preparing the site, bringing in new fill, and constructing

Finishing touches put on BC Seniors Games Matthew Claxton

Langley Advance Twitter @LangleyAdvance

LANGLEY — The BC Seniors Games will start here on Sept. 9, and the organizers are getting every last detail nailed down. “We’re getting a little bit giddy, we’re getting excited,” said Milt Kruger, president of the board of directors for the 2014 edition of the event. The games has seen an influx of volunteers in the last week before Labour Day, but could still use more, and there is still time to sign up, said Kruger. The main area where volunteers are still needed is to help out around the sporting events. “And of course, this event is all about sports,” said Kruger. Some people seem to be hesitating to get involved because they worry that they need to be particularly knowledgeable about an event, or athletic themselves. Neither is the case, said Kruger. Volunteers will be needed to help out setting up equipment and monitoring events, but they can learn about their event while there. “Track and field has a huge need for volunteers right now,” said Kruger. Track and field covers a massive variety of events overall. Tennis and swimming are also still trying to fill up some volunteer vacancies. Outside of sports, transportation could use some drivers and the social events for the senior participants need a few more people, as does the medical area. “There’s all sorts of social events going on,” said Kruger. The events involve both opening and closing ceremonies, with the opening to be held at the Langley Events Centre. Visitors and spectators can check the BC Seniors Games in Langley website to see where their favourite events are taking place, so they can head out and watch.

One of the social events will be the volunteer appreciation event at the close of the games, though of course, that is one event for which volunteers are just required to enjoy themselves. Volunteers can sign up for as little as four hours on a single day. To sign up as a volunteer or for more information, call the games office at 604-533-8065, or email volunteer@2014bcsg.com. Volunteers can sign up online or by phone or fax. You can also contact Johanne Caron, the main volunteer recruiter for the Seniors Games, directly at 604-880-4841. The games run from Sept. 9-13 and involve sports and events that include relatively sedate pastimes such as horseshoes and cribbage, to archery and golf, all the way up to major athletic competitions such as running, cycling dragonboat racing, swimming, and equestrian events. Athletes ranging from 55 years of age to their 90s will take part across a variety of categories, and at skill levels ranging from relative novices to highly experienced athletes. The typical BC Seniors Games has about 3,500 amateur athletes from every part of the province. This year’s games is expected to be one of the largest in recent years, with almost 4,000 athletes expected, including about 900 from the Lower Mainland district that includes Langley. Athletes represent their region of the province as they compete in teams or as individuals.

ROAD CLOSURES IN PLACE FOR GAMES

Competitors are set to take part in more than 20 activities in facilities and on roads throughout Langley Township and the City of Langley, and into nearby communities as well. This will mean some road closure for cycling events and some long distance foot races. Closures will take place in

the following areas: In Fort Langley: 208th Street to Allard Crescent to McKinnon Crescent on Thursday, Sept. 11, from 10 a.m. to noon for a cycling event. In North East Langley: 248th Street to 72nd Avenue to 256th Street to 64th Avenue on Friday, Sept. 12,

We’re getting a little bit giddy, we’re getting excited. from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. for a cycling event. In the Salmon River area: 232nd Street to 70A Avenue to 236th Street to 68th Avenue to 238th Street,

on Saturday, Sept. 13, from 8:30 a.m. to noon, for a walk/run. There will also be a temporary closure of the boat launch at Marina Park

in Fort Langley starting at 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 9, to accommodate various events. The boat launch will reopen to public at 4 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 13. For more information, visit the 2014 BC Seniors Games website, 2014bcseniorsgames.org.

Fire can’t stop these cat lovers Cloverdale couple among those at weekend cat show in South Surrey

3 things to do this weekend

Gord Goble

Now contributor Goble@shaw.ca

CLOVERDALE — It was a warm afternoon in the spring of 2010 when fire swept through the Cloverdale home of Shirley and Jeff Byington, causing massive property damage in the process and ending the lives of eight of their nine cats. The road to recovery wasn’t easy. They lived several months in an RV while their house underwent repairs and dealt with the permanent loss of personal effects. The couple also coped with the passing of eight treasured felines. Today, the Byingtons have moved on as much as could be expected. Eight tiny urns sit on a shelf of their living room hutch, but otherwise there’s a real sense of life in their rebuilt home. There’s also a heck of a lot of newfound “meow.” The Byingtons, you see, really love cats. They love playing with them, they love feeding them, they love walking them. So after some time living with the sole survivor of the fire, Miloh, Jeff says life just wasn’t the same. “We knew we wanted more cats,” he explained.“For example, we lost a Turkish Van (an athletic, semi-long-haired cat with markings only on its head and tail) in the fire, and I knew after a while that I definitely wanted another one.” Indeed, the couple once again owns a litter of cats – six in all. And not just run-of-themill house cats, either. Sure, there’s Miloh and a recently arrived “rescue” cat. But there’s also the Turkish Van, two Japanese Bobtails (notable for their truncated tails) and one Kurilian Bobtail (originally from the Kuril Islands and again with a barely-there tail). So why all the exotics? Turns out the Byingtons love one other thing about cats:

Sunstone Park in North Delta will light up with displays, activities, entertainment and more on Saturday evening (Sept. 6). The Luminary Festival kicks off at 6 p.m. for this family-friendly affair, featuring a lantern parade to illuminate the park as fire dancers, stilt walkers and Afrofunk dance band Coco Jafro entertain the crowd. Show up for four hours of fun and magic at Sunstone Park, 10400 Delsom Cres., North Delta.

The City of White Rock and the White Rock Chinese Arts Centre are kicking off a three-day moon festival on Friday (Sept. 5) at 5 p.m. The festival will light up with more than 500 lanterns along the White Rock pier, and the mid-harvest fest will include live music, performances, martial arts demonstrations and more. The Moon Festival runs all weekend and will culminate on Sunday (Sept. 7) at 5 p.m.

Shirley Byington (holding Miloh) and her husband Jeff (holding Kody) will participate in a Cat Fanciers of BC event Sept. 5 to 7 in South Surrey. (Photo: GORD GOBLE) the chance to show them off. And that’s just what they’ll do this coming weekend when they take three of the newest members of their re-jigged family to South Surrey’s Pacific Inn Resort for one of this area’s most prestigious cat shows, the Northwest Regional Awards (a.k.a.“A Star Studded Affair”). Jeff unabashedly calls the event a “beauty contest for cats,” and it’s easy to see why. The animals do not do tricks or scurry about with their compatriots, nor, with the exception of the “House Cat” category, are they evaluated on personality. Instead, entrants are judged by a strict set of standards such as length of tail, head/body proportions, a variety of breed-specific guidelines and much more. It’s a dramatic and demanding environment that, claims Jeff, causes much stress among some of the owners. Though no money is at stake, the benefits to a breeder of

a championship cat are obvious. The Byingtons, long-time members of the show’s governing body, the Cat Fanciers of British Columbia, will bring one of their Japanese Bobtails, the Kurilian Bobtail and the new household cat. Fire survivor Miloh, with his friendly disposition and still-singed ears, is now happily retired.“But,” says Jeff, “We’re also bringing two Ragdolls (so named for their penchant to go limp when picked up) for an absentee member.” Amongst the 150 cats (and 75 owners) expected to attend the show is one very special kitty: a Scottish Fold named “Chester” that made international headlines this year when it went missing for an entire month at Montreal’s Pierre Elliott Trudeau Airport. Owner Amanda Stewart, also of Cloverdale, will join and compete with entrants from throughout B.C. and Washington and as far away as Alberta, Idaho and Oregon. For more event information, visit Cfofbc.org.

The Surrey Safeway Walk for Muscular Dystrophy kicks off at Bear Creek Park (13750 88th Ave., Surrey) at noon Saturday, Sept. 6. The disorder, which currently has no cure, deteriorates the neuromuscular system and is often fatal. Join Surrey families as they walk to fundraise for those suffering from MD and for a cure. The day also includes kids activities, face painting, prize raffles and free food. Visit Walkformusculardystrophy.ca to find out how to get involved.

This Sunday, zombies walk on Christopher Poon

Now staff Twitter @questionchris

WHITE ROCK — If you happen to see some of the walking dead roaming along Marine Drive on Sunday, don’t be alarmed, it’s just the fourth-annual White Rock Zombie Walk. Just like years past, people will descend upon the city’s waterfront dressed as the undead for the Sunday, Sept. 7 march. While past iterations have generally seen the White Rock walk held a week or two after Vancouver’s, this year the walk will be held a day after the larger event. White Rock walk organizer Teresa Brauer said she was surprised when she learned Vancouver’s event was going to be held later than the typical timeframe of the end of August, but said she’s confident having the events so close together won’t hurt hers. “Most of the people who walked last time were going to Vancouver but thought it would be great to do a second day, so we’re doing the next day,” she said. “It’s in the afternoon so we’re hoping to get the same numbers, if not more than last year.” Last year more than 60 participants hit White Rock’s sunny streets, with everything

a05

from families to real estate agents and even seniors coming out. The event proved to be so popular that they even received an impromptu police escort down Marine Drive. “I guess they saw the posters and wanted to keep us all under control,” laughed Brauer. “Usually we abide by the laws of the land and stick to the sidewalks but because we had a police presence we were told we were allowed to walk on the street. Most zombie walks will stick to sidewalks.” This year, Brauer is wondering if she’ll even see White Rock council candidates in attendance, what with it being election season and all. “That would be awesome,” she said. “Of course, we would love to see it grow every year.” As in previous years, there will be prizes for the best costume, and participants are asked to bring a non-perishable food item for the SOURCES food bank. “We really want to stress that,” said Brauer. “Enjoy, have fun, don’t be afraid to be the only person on the bus dressed as a zombie – there will be other zombies when you get here and it will be fun,” she added. Would-be undead are asked to meet Sunday in the parking lot beside the Washington Avenue Grill at 1:30 p.m.; the march down Marine Drive will begin at 2 p.m.

SURREY — A wish can make all the difference in a sick child’s life. It could be a trip to Disneyland or a chance to meet their favourite athlete – whatever that wish may be, having it come true can be the difference between hope and despair. Hope is what Surrey’s Al Lamons works to give sick children at the annual F.U.B.A.R (Friends United Beyond All Race) Golf Classic charity tournament, which will be held this Sunday, Sept. 7 in support of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of BC & Yukon. “When we grant these wishes it gives these kids hope and renewed strength to fight,” said Lamons, the event’s organizer. Perhaps better known as DJ Alibaba, Lamons has used his on-air reputation at radio stations, including Z95.3 FM and The Beat 94.5 FM, to help build the event from just 22 participants seven years ago to 70 and counting.

For Lamons, giving back and supporting children are what drive him to volunteer much of his time to this cause. “I’ve experienced firsthand an adult investing into a child’s life. I had adults invest into my life. If those adults did not invest into my life, I would not be here today. I would be in jail or dead.” The Make-A-Wish Foundation of BC & Yukon makes approximately 120 wishes come true every year for children fighting life-threatening illnesses. Each wish costs on average $6,000 to $7,000 to grant. Last year, Lamons’ golf tournament was able to raise enough to grant a wish for a Surrey child and he hopes the event will be able to raise even more this year. “When these kids get their wishes and they get to go experience Disneyland or meet their favourite football team or favourite artist or have an experience they wouldn’t have had, it gives them hope and it energizes them,” he said. see › page 7

Several years ago, Lamons’ event helped raise enough money to buy a baby grand piano for a young girl fighting cancer. The piano was given to her while she was being treated in the hospital.

“That just changed her whole outlook and perspective and gave her a renewed strength to fight and carry on. It really is about giving hope,” Lamons said. The young girl has been cancer-free for several years now, and comes to speak at another of Lamons’ annual events held at Splashdown water park in Tsawwassen. Seeing kids make it through their illness is only half the story, though; it is often the memory of the children that have lost their fight with illness that keep Lamons working to raise more money each year. This isn’t your average day on the golf course, though. Lamons keeps the event fun and welcoming for everyone, and maintains the focus on raising money for sick kids. This year he hopes that more women and novice golfers will play in the tournament. “We welcome women – this is a co-ed tournament. We’ve had eight to 10 women per event and women make the world go round, so we need more women, too.” The F.U.B.A.R Golf Classic will be held at the Guildford Golf & Country Club on 152 St. in Surrey on Sunday, Sept. 7 beginning at noon.

Results vary from patient to patient. May be covered under employee health care benefits. Laser therapy is not a surgical or invasive process. There is no cutting or burning with this type of laser. Instead, it gets absorbed by soft tissue and joints. This stimulates the healing process by increasing the production of ATP(adenosine triphosphate). ATP is the simple fuel that cells need to heal injuries and resolve inflammation. Laser therapy can also reduce scar tissue formation, increase lymphatic drainage and improve vascular circulation. All these things lead to faster and improved healing. If your in pain call Laser Health Solutions today!

A weekly two-page news feature that delves deep into the people and issues in our community

SAY SOMETHING: The story of my father’s strokes HEALTH CARE: Now reporter Amy Reid sheds light on an ordeal that has tested her strength as a person more than anything before

awoke to my alarm at 6 a.m. that morning, just as I would any other day. I had a shower, styled my hair, spent too long picking out what to wear and drove to work, just as I would any other day. I arrived at work and got a coffee, just as I would any other day. I left work at the end of the day, just as I would any other day. But something was different about that day. I had a call from my father’s employer, saying they hadn’t been able to get in touch with him. This was the second time I’d had such a call. Seeing as he works from home, I didn’t think too much of it the first time. But twice? This had never happened before. The first time I knocked on Dad’s door, he took a while to get up to open it. “Your work is looking for you, Dad, is everything OK?” I asked. Dazed and seemingly tired he nodded that he was alright. “Just feel sick,” he said. “Do you need anything? Want me to grab you something to eat? Need any medicine?” I inquired. “No,” he said. He seemed quite out of it. But it was clear he had just gotten out of bed, and he said he was sick so, at the time, I didn’t think twice of it. Away I went. But for the second time that week, I decided to go check on him. Something felt different this time. I knocked. And knocked. And knocked again. No answer. I could hear his dog, Sammy, barking inside. His car was parked out front. He was home. I found a back door open and went inside. “Dad? Are you here? Everything OK?” I said, for what felt like the hundredth time. Silence. I felt a pit in my stomach as I just knew something was wrong.

Amy Reid and her father George during a Thanksgiving Day celebration. The door to his bedroom was closed, Sammy, still barking loudly from inside. I opened the door to find my father in his bed with the dog. It was clear he hadn’t been out of bed for some time. Sammy was jumping up on me now, barking aggressively. And he is a small, gentle dog. He was clearly trying to communicate with me, to tell me something was very wrong. “Dad? What’s going on? Are you alright?” No answer. My dad just turned his head toward me with glazed eyes. His gaze quickly went back to staring at the wall. “Dad? I don’t understand what’s going on? Did something happen? Are you upset?” No answer. “Are you angry with me? Have I done something?” No answer. “Dad, I don’t know if something’s wrong or if you’re mad at me and want me to leave. If you say something, and I know you’re OK, I’ll leave. But I will

NOT leave until you say something.” Silence. “Dad. Please just say something. Please,” I pleaded. I continued asking questions for several minutes. The only response I got was the occasional glance my way. Dad’s eyes would gaze into mine, with an empty look, then he’d look away again. Out of instinct, I called my godmother, Debbie, who also happens to be a nurse. Whenever I’m afraid or something goes wrong, I call her. I went outside for a moment and told her what was happening. She could hear the fear in my voice. I took the phone inside, and put her on speaker phone. She asked my dad a few questions and again, he would not respond. “Amy. Hang up the phone and call 9-1-1,” she said calmly. I was anything but calm. I could’ve screamed. I called, waiting on the phone with the 9-1-1 operator. She stayed on the line with me, asking

questions, which I barely remember. The fire department was the first to arrive. Then the paramedics. They, too, had a plethora of questions. “Is this normal for him?” “Does he have a history of depression?” “When did you see him behaving normally last?” “Does he live alone?” And on and on it went. They took him out of bed on a stretcher. He wouldn’t speak. He wouldn’t stand. I later learned it wasn’t that he wouldn’t – he couldn’t. One paramedic took me aside and explained they weren’t sure what was going on. “I can’t say for certain, and I don’t want to alarm you, but your father may have had a stroke.” Everything was a blur for a while after that. As the ambulance rushed him to hospital, I rushed to meet him at the hospital. My brother wasn’t far behind me. There, on a stretcher in the emergency room, my dad was actually speaking. Not much – a word here or there. But words were coming out. He didn’t really seem to recognize my brother and I. Those empty eyes. I’ll never forget those empty eyes. We waited. And waited. Tests. More tests. No one could tell us anything for certain. A stroke? Perhaps. We’re not sure, they’d tell us. Then, they moved Dad into a private room. It had been a stroke. That had been confirmed. A neurologist approached my brother and I. A nice man. Kind and gentle in his demeanor. He asked us to have a seat. There was a clot in Dad’s brain, he explained slowly. I’ll never forget how close my brother clutched me at that moment. It’s not something he does often. see › page 9

My head fell as I began to sob in my brother’s arms. The doctor went on to say it wasn’t clear how large the clot was. But it was in a very troubling spot. I can’t recall exactly what he said, but it was in the entrance to the brain. A spot where, if it burst, Dad could die. I felt like I was out of my own body, watching myself on TV. My brother clutched me even tighter. I don’t know if he did it to comfort me, or himself. Perhaps both. The doctor then explained that because we didn’t know how long ago the stroke had hit, some medical measures were no longer available to us. I realized at that moment that he was preparing me for the realistic chance my father was going to die. He. Might. Die. Those words kept repeating over and over in my mind. I didn’t hear anything else he said. All I could think was that I should have checked on Dad earlier. Earlier that day. Perhaps even the day before. The doctor said he had likely experienced what’s called a TIA – in essence, a mini stroke – earlier in the week. He hadn’t been sick when I stopped by to check on him that first time. He had been hit with small strokes, but was still functioning. “It’s my fault,” I told myself over and over. “If I had checked on him earlier, this wouldn’t have happened. How could I not notice when I saw him earlier in the week? This is MY FAULT.” I wanted to scream. I wanted to go back in time. Never in my life had I felt such guilt. Such responsibility. Such regret. When the doctor finished speaking to us, I broke down. I called my mother and didn’t even get a sentence out before she realized how bad things were. She hung up and rushed to the hospital. When she arrived, I saw her running toward me. She appeared to be in slow motion – at least to me, at that moment. I honestly don’t remember much else that night. I went home and hardly spoke another word. I remember people in my life telling me that he’d get better. Strokes are common. Just give it time. He’ll be OK. I know someone who’s had a stroke, and they’re fine. I didn’t want to hear any of that. I felt like I’d already lost my dad. And this wasn’t just “a” stroke. There had been several. In multiple areas of the brain. And he had laid there, alone, in his bed for who knows how long. Early intervention means all the difference with strokes. And Dad didn’t receive early intervention. I pictured him alone for hours, maybe

days, lying there. Confused. Or maybe he wasn’t confused, maybe he knew what was happening all along. How alone must he have felt? And I did nothing! I hardly slept that night. How could I? Dad was alone, and likely still confused in the hospital. Unsure of where he was. Who knew what he was thinking? In the days that followed, my life was spent at the hospital. I barely saw my children. I barely saw my husband. I barely showered. I barely talked to anyone, aside from my mother and brother. As the days passed, Dad started to come back to us. He came to remember my children, though he didn’t at first. Then he remembered how old they were. And on and on, the memories – and, more importantly, Dad – came back. One piece at a time.

ognitively, he had many challenges. Though a high-level computer programmer before the strokes, he couldn’t answer a simple math equation, like two plus two. When he was asked simple questions, such as to name things that were cold, or things that were hot, he just couldn’t. It was very hard to watch. I recall watching his occupational therapist put a toothbrush, a comb and deodorant in front of him. She asked him to show her what to do with each one. For a long time, he couldn’t do it. He would just stare at them. Even with verbal prompting, he couldn’t pick up a comb and run it through his hair. I remembered sitting in my backyard the previous summer, with my children sitting on his lap, them laughing hysterically while he told them a joke. I remembered him cooking eggs for my son in the morning when he would visit. I remembered my son yelling, “Big Bubba!” every time he walked through my front door. The contrast was more than I could take to think about for more than a moment. But things continued to improve. I learned to celebrate the little victories. Eventually, he could brush his hair. He could put a shirt on by himself. He could put on deodorant. The small accomplishments meant much more to me than many would understand. And I started to get into a positive mindset for the first time in a long time. I remember thinking everything was going to be OK. Then, I got the horrible news. The news that my grandmother had been diagnosed with cancer. It was bad. She didn’t have much time left. I planned to go up to the Sunshine Coast a few days later to see her, as I had appointments with my father’s doctors

Amy Reid’s son Dean Kane with her father George Reid during a visit to the Sunshine Coast a couple of summers ago.

It’s been a long, trying road. I’ve learned a lot about myself along the way. I’ve learned I have more strength than I knew. I’ve learned my dad has more strength than I knew as well. I’m beyond proud of the motivation and progress he’s shown through his recovery. that week. I didn’t want to leave in case something happened with Dad. But I had to. The morning my brother and I were set to leave, I missed a call from my cousin. I knew what was coming. I picked up the phone, called her back and she told me. Grandma passed away that morning. I was numb. The first thing I thought about was how I was going to tell Dad. He wouldn’t even understand, wouldn’t even be able to process this had happened. When he came back to us fully, and understood... My heart broke. Over and over and over again. For so many reasons. I thought things couldn’t get any worse. It felt as though I had no emotions anymore. I didn’t feel much of anything. I was dealing with all of my dad’s finances, which wasn’t easy. I had no power of attorney. No one did. And I certainly couldn’t ask for help from my dad’s family with everything that was going on, and had happened, with Grandma. My parents are split up, and my mother helped tremendously. But when it came down to it, I was the only one to deal with things. I had to apply for EI for Dad, but I needed the power to do so. Dad couldn’t consent to a power of attorney, so I had to get a representation agreement. I had to get him out of his rental, as it was clear he wouldn’t be going back home anytime soon. And he had no funds to pay for it. There was always something to do. Some paperwork that needed to be filed. On and on the list went.

I was drowning. Then the day came where a second batch of strokes hit. The hospital didn’t call to tell me. Or anyone else. I arrived to visit Dad. His face was drooping on one side. He was slurring his words. He told me his arm wasn’t working. He told me he’d fallen the night before. He was extremely confused, seemingly he had regressed cognitively from the previous day. I felt a pit in my stomach. I felt my throat close up. It had happened again. I approached the nurse’s station on the stroke ward at the hospital and asked for his doctor. She came to me and confirmed yes, he had another stroke. This time, it hit him physically as well. He couldn’t move his left arm or leg. I walked into the hallway around the corner from his room before I went back in. I leaned against a wall, as I felt light headed, as though I might faint. I slouched down to the ground and began sobbing. There were people all around, but I was almost oblivious to them at that point. I called my mother again and she immediately rushed over. Though my mother and father divorced more than 20 years ago, she still cared about him. And I knew her heart was breaking for me. She was watching me watch my father lose himself, and she could see the toll it was taking on me. I could see the pain in her eyes when she arrived. It was painful for her to watch me in so much pain. She knew things had started to get better, and now things were worse than they’d ever been.

or the first time in my life, I could tell that my mom didn’t know what to do, didn’t know how to help me. This whole ordeal began seven months ago. Some good things have happened and a lot of bad things have happened. It’s been a long, trying road. I’ve learned a lot about myself along the way. I’ve learned I have more strength than I knew. I’ve learned my dad has more strength than I knew as well. I’m beyond proud of the motivation and progress he’s shown through his recovery. There are days I feel as if I’m breaking. In all honesty, I feel broken most of the time. I suspect my father does as well. In no way can I say I’ve emotionally recovered from what this horrible thing has done to me and my family. Nor will my dad ever be the same he was before. But I’ve learned to stay positive, celebrate the small victories and remember what’s most important in life. Family. I’ve lost part of my dad. I’ve lost my grandmother. Now, more than ever, I cherish the time I have with those I love, because everything truly can change in an instant. areid@thenownewspaper.com

Our view

MP’s plea for refugee aid comes with some irony Is it not ironic that an MP backbencher who made headlines for being the highest-spending federal politician in B.C. in the 2008-2009 fiscal year, and second-highest spender in all of Canada, was one of three Tory MPs flown to Iraq recently on a mission to see how Canadian aid is being used to help refugees there? On Monday, the Ottawa Citizen ran a story under the headline “Conservative MP calls for more western aid for Kurds,” in which Russ Hiebert, who announced in February he won’t be seeking reelection in South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale, calls for more western aid. The longtime Surrey MP, first elected in 2004, told the Ottawa Citizen that lamentably some of the crisis “in delivering appropriate aid has come about because of internal divisions within the Iraqi government itself.” Hiebert makes a strong case for helping the refugees, in his MP report stating that more western aid is “essential to prevent a developing humanitarian disaster in Kurdish, Iraq. But it’s hard not to forget that this impassioned plea is coming from a guy who recorded $637,093 in MP expenses when the national average was about $200,000. Sure, that was back in 2008-09. According to Hiebert’s latest available Member’s Expenditures Report (April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013), he’s managed to pare back his spending to $467,140.57. Under the “travel” category alone, he rang up $62,431.11 for himself, $13,761.53 for a “designated traveler,” $16,487.36 for dependants, $5,561.08 for employees, $8,425.85 in member’s accommodation and per diem expenses, and $17,671.43 in member’s secondary residence expenses, within that period. That’s $124,338.36 in travel expenses in just one year, courtesy of Canadian taxpayers. “While Canada’s resources are limited,” Hiebert told the Ottawa Citizen, “we have always endeavoured to assist vulnerable nations...” The Now

Concert disrupted our neighbourhood The Editor, Re: “Backyard concert filmed for pilot, aids school music program,” the Now, Sept. 2. While the concert was all very well and good for those who attended, and also the school music program, no one involved took a moment to think about the impact on the neighbourhood of a concert on a weeknight. Three hours of music being played at a volume exceeding 100 decibels. No one thought about neighbours with young children or people who work shift work and are struggling to get some sleep on a hot, muggy night. My job requires that I get up at 3:30 a.m. and my work day often exceeds 12

No one thought about neighbours with young children or people who work shift work and are struggling to get some sleep on a hot, muggy night. hours. With the windows closed, the lyrics could be understood more than a block away. I understand the police attended and that several complaints were made. Judging by the number of vehicles parked on Northcrest Drive, intimate is not a word I would use to describe this event. While I commend the people who volunteered, this event showed a blatant disregard for the people who

reside in the area and should have been held in a more appropriate venue. I bought my house in this neighbourhood because it was quiet and peaceful. Many of my neighbours work odd shifts and there is no such thing as a weekend. We respect one anothers’ situations and try to tailor our activities to accommodate them. I feel it is a shame others can’t do the same. Chris Hale, Surrey

DEBATE Letters

Premier, it is time to lead – students are counting on you the best they can, but there are times when we cannot do what we all know is best. We need to see the funding for public education increased now, for the students and families of today and the future. I see on social media, hear on the radio and television many citizens weighing in on the current labour dispute, and kudos to them for being engaged and concerned about what lies ahead in public education. But the reality is that many of them are basing their comments on their experience from years gone by. Times have changed; the students who are entering Kindergarten today are very complex, with more and more issues that need to be addressed. I fully support integration; we need to have the resources, services, teachers and support staff to make it work. All students deserve to become contributing members of our society, whatever that looks like for them personally. In Surrey, we have 169 languages spoken at home besides English. We have students who have never been to school because they were born in refugee camps. We have students who come from vulnerable families and have not had the stimulation in their early years. We have students with physical disabilities, learning disabilities and mental-health issues, and students who have been subjected to horrific trauma at a very young age, whether that be in a war-torn country or right here in Canada. Of course, our typical students are here as well, and they have needs, too – the need to get an education in a very complex classroom. We welcome

The Editor, An open letter to B.C. Premier Christy Clark: As a school trustee in Surrey, the largest school district in British Columbia, I urge you to meet with Jim Iker, president of the BCTF. As the premier of this great province, it is time to be the leader that you were elected to be. The students and families in public education need you to get a negotiated or mediated settlement as soon as possible, so that they can be back in the classroom where they belong. As I have told the many citizens who have emailed me, public education is the backbone of any community, and the students are the future of British Columbia. There is no future if we do not give the students of today the chance they need to be educated to their full potential. I am passionate about public education and it is a privilege to be a school trustee and an education assistant in public education. I believe that if you and Minister Fassbender spent some time in the classroom over an extended period, you would see the reality of working in public education. It is an exhilarating experience when you see a student achieve the next step in their development, whether that is in their intellectual, social, emotional or physical development. It is also heart-wrenching when you see students who do not have the opportunity to reach their next goal because the resources or services are not there. I have seen how devastating is can be for students and families. The teachers, staff and administration do

all these students and their families to Surrey, and so we should, because this is Canada, a democratic, multi-cultural, diverse nation. Staff does the best they can with the funding we receive, but we need more. Can you imagine being a teacher in a classroom in Surrey? I urge you to take some time to think about it. Teachers are teachers because they want to help shape the future, but when you have a class with such diversity, culturally and intellectually, with dwindling resources, how can you make that happen? It is a daily burden that doesn’t go away when you leave your work site. It is difficult when you see a student coming to school hungry, when you don’t have the time to work one-to-one with a disruptive student who you know has potential, when you have a gifted student who needs more from you but you can’t give it to them right away and when you have a typical student who just needs to ask one question. The most devastating burden is when a student doesn’t return to your classroom because they have died due to their physical disability or their mental health. I could go on and on because I have spent time in those classrooms. Surrey teachers, staff and administration are hard-working, caring, resourceful people who only want the best for every student who enrols in our school district. Premier Clark, it is time for you to do the right thing. Be the leader you were elected to be. Students and families are counting on you. Charlene Dobie, Surrey school trustee

Employees from English Bay Safeway celebrating results of the August campaign.

Thank You for

on sunday, aug. 3, I was in a car accident at Thrift and Stayte Road in White Rock (known as 14th Avenue and 160th Street in Surrey). Dozens of roses to everyone who came to see if my mother and I were OK. There was one woman who told me she did not see the accident because I was behind her. I am hoping that this person could call me, as I was wondering if she had crossed at the crosswalk right before the accident. Thank you. Nancy, 604-805-3507. Beautiful bouquets of roses to the people helping me while I am unable to help myself: Miss Bea, Darcy, Bev and Mike. I am humbled by your kindness! roses go out to the wired Monk Fleetwood location for announcing on their Facebook page that they’re officially closing. I am sorry what happened to your wonderful coffee place. I wish you the best of success in the future. I will miss you. a jewelry display cabinet of beautiful roses to my customer Lorraine. She discovered a little ring on her floor after removing her purchases from her bag. She made the effort to contact the store and inquire if anyone had lost a ring, suspecting that it had been put into her bag by mistake. My 15-year-old granddaughter had been helping at the store and it had slipped off her finger when she was packaging the purchase. What a lovely lady to take the time to track down the store, call and then return the ring. My granddaughter was very happy, and we were all moved by this act of kindness. roses and thanks to the kind lady who, with premeditation, left a paid receipt on our windshield, in stall #11 on the morning of Friday, Aug. 8 behind Peace Arch clinic on Russell Avenue.

rotten tomatoes to our provincial government. As the father of a Grade 12 student and husband of a teacher, I have been following the dispute closely. Your behaviour and tactics have been ridiculous and outrageous. I thought our provincial government was anti-bullying. As a citizen of B.C., I expect and demand that you respect our court’s decisions. a bushel of rotten, local tomatoes to the big supermarkets and some farmers markets that insist on importing apples and potatoes from Washington State. When you go across the line, you’ll never find potatoes produced in B.C., so why don’t grocers here support our local farmers and economy? rotten tomatoes to the crazy old woman in the blue car who almost ran me over on 168th Street. You have been reported to the police. What goes around, comes around. shame on the young drivers who speed on residential roads when there are small children playing outside. What you believe is a brilliant engine scares young, innocent children. Where are our local police to issue speeding tickets? a dumpster full of rotten tomatoes to the person or persons who threw a rock through the window of Penny Savers Thrift Shop. Get a life and do something useful. Make your life count. a truckload of rotten tomatoes dumped into an apartment unit at 13775 74th Avenue, where men were partying in the wee hours recently and shouting obscenities on the balcony. The police had to come to calm them down. Even people in nearby buildings were disturbed from their sleep.

Teachers rally at Fassbender’s office on would-be first day of school Christopher Poon

Now staff Twitter @questionchris

SURREY — On what would have been the first day of classes for the new school year, teachers instead found themselves standing in Fleetwood in the pouring rain, waving signs and hoping their voices were being heard. That was the scene Tuesday (Sept. 5) as hundreds of teachers and supporters came to education minister and SurreyFleetwood MLA Peter Fassbender’s office in a demonstration of solidarity. Organized by the BC Federation of Labour, the rally was one of several held around the province during the week and the second at Fassbender’s office this summer. And despite the rainy weather, hundreds of teachers, parents and other union representatives made their way to the Fleetwood location to show the minister they would not be deterred in their fight. “I came out today because I’m a teacher and a parent and so it’s a double whammy for me,” said Sid Siddique, a teacher from Maple Ridge. “This has dragged on for so long now, how much longer is anybody’s guess but that’s why we’re here. The funding of education has reached ridiculous lows and we need to fix it. Unless we raise our voices in this way, what else is going to happen?” Looking at the crowd gathered, Siddique said he was heartened by the turnout. “It’s great to see so many people turn up, it’s not just teachers,” he said. Also in attendance were local NDP MLAs Sue Hammell and Harry Bains and MP Jinny Sims, who also served as BCTF president from 2004 to 2007, as well as Surrey trustee Charlene Dobie. For Surrey teacher Arlene Laing, who’s been teaching for the past 34 years, she said the government needs to change its position if it truly wants to help students. “What I’ve seen is a great decline

In the rain Tuesday evening, teachers rallied outside Minister of Education Peter Fassbender’s office in Surrey. Tuesday would have been the first day of classes for the new school year but after last-minute negotiations fell apart over the weekend, teachers will be back on the picket lines for at least another week. (Photo: MATT LAW) in terms of the composition of the classroom,” she said. “The numbers of special-needs kids in the classrooms and the complexity of their needs are increasing.” Laing said she’s tired of seeing cuts forcing special education teachers to take on multiple students when they should each be receiving specialized learning. “We’re talking about kids that have unique needs that actually require oneon-one support,” she said. “That time is being eroded and they’re starting to clump together kids in classrooms and hoping that one (educational assistant) can cover multiple children at a time, it’s

happening more and more and more.” But with the hundreds gathered enjoying the speeches and songs that ensued, Surrey Teachers Association President Jennifer Wadge hoped the minister – who was away during the rally – would also hear what they had to say. “We also had a rally in June and he wasn’t here then either, and we were again told he wouldn’t be here today and that’s really too bad,” said Wadge. “He’s been elected by the people in Surrey and it’s really too bad he can’t be here when people are trying to get a message to him.” cpoon@thenownewspaper.com

SURREY — Surrey RCMP has charged a young Surrey man in the Aug. 27 kidnapping and sexual assault of a nine-year-old Whalley girl he is accused of luring out of her home late that night. Donovan Christopher Adams, 23, of no fixed address, was arrested Thursday night and is charged with kidnapping, sexual assault, sexual interference, breaking and entering and committing an indecent act. Police say the victim, who cannot be identified, was lured out of her open ground-floor bedroom window in Cedar Hills, taken to a nearby park, molested and left in a nearby yard. She

Trent Rolfe said. Rolfe held back many details during a press conference Tuesday, saying the case is now before the court.

“I can say this young girl was very brave. She helped us catch this man.” “Considering the circumstances,” he said, she is doing “remarkably well.” The suspect and victim didn’t know each other, Rolfe said. “He didn’t know her. He

had the opportunity.” It’s a “very unusual” case, he said. Rolfe said the suspect was arrested “in the area” of Robson Park, “which is where the assault occurred. “So I guess to go with the belief he won’t return to the scene of the crime is incorrect.” Police were canvassing the neighbourhood for clues when they spotted the suspect, Rolfe said. “He is known to the police, that is about as much as I can say. “The investigative team continued to work tirelessly through the weekend, despite having a male in custody, to ensure we have the right man, as we gathered, sifted and pored through the evidence.”

Drew Daniel hopes to raise $28,000 through the website Fundrzr to purchase a bionic hand. He was born without a left hand and currently uses a prosthetic hand that has limited functions. (Photo: RIC ERNST, PNG)

Surrey teen goes online to raise cash for a new hand New 16-movement prosthetic expensive, but would make life far more normal than existing onemovement style Matthew Robinson

Vancouver Sun Twitter @atmattrobinson

SURREY — By Drew Daniel’s estimate, it will be either a decade or next week before his dream of having a second functioning hand will finally become reality. It will come down to the success of an online crowdsourcing effort the 18-year-old Surrey resident recently launched to help him buy a bebionic3, a prosthetic hand that he says would change his life and ultimately that of people across B.C. “It can do almost everything a

normal hand can,” said Daniel, who was born without a left hand and has used various prosthetics since he was a child. The prosthetic hand Daniel now uses can make a pinching action, something he said works OK for things like video games, bike riding, and tying shoes, but it has limitations. It freezes intermittently, for example, and it isn’t easy to use for driving or even gripping and carrying some objects. Daniel launched his crowdsourcing effort to raise money to afford a bebionic3, which can make 16 different movements rather than the one his current hand makes. It’s also more durable, it flexes, and the wrist rotates by itself. It can also help others, he said. Daniel has received money for prosthetics from the War Amps in the past, but he said the bebionic3 is still too expensive to be eligible for funding, something he hopes would change as people in the province started to adopt the technology. There

is precedent for such a thing, he said, noting that myoelectric hands like the one he has now were expensive at first then dropped in price as people started buying them. “It’s been out for a few years, but there always has to be a first person that does it,” he said. The bebionic3 costs about $28,000 including a new socket, a huge expense for Daniel who makes a living working at a car wash in Maple Ridge and hand making silver jewelry. One of the first things Daniel would like to do with his new hand is hit the gym. He said he’d like to tone and even-out his physique, something he can’t do with his current prosthetic. “I have one strong arm and then a weak one,” he said. It’s just one of the physical limitations Daniel has become accustomed to, but could live free from with a new hand. Daniel’s crowdsourcing campaign, at https://fundrazr.com/campaigns/ 0ooO0, ends Sept. 10. Vancouver Sun

High-tech ecology centre in works Amy Reid

SURREY — As a child, the only technology Gary Oliver had was a black-and-white TV. He recalls faithfully watching Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom as a youngster, inspiring him to spend his life studying, rescuing and working with animals. And he hopes the technology of today will inspire children to do the same. Oliver, who started both Cinemazoo and the Urban Safari Rescue Society, is in the early planning stages for a hightech ecology centre he hopes will be located in Surrey. Think Vancouver Aquarium meets Science World. “Kids today are losing touch with what’s happening with the world around them. They’re into their iPads and iPods,” Oliver said. “If you ask kids to name as many different products as they can, they’ll name over a thousand products they could probably think of. You ask them to name five songbirds and they’re stumped. I’ve had kids in

grade school ask what a songbird is.” He said if even two or three kids take an interest in conservation as a result of the would-be ecology centre, then it’s a worthwhile project. “And the only way we’re going to reach these kids is by using what they’re so familiar with – the technology of today.” Oliver’s enlisted the help of an engineer who worked on Science World, and said he’s come up with some brilliant ideas to revolutionize the way kids can learn through technology. In a nutshell, the facility would ramp up things the organization does already in terms of rescue efforts and educational programming, and tie in technology, as well as entertainment. There’s even been interest from the Rainforest Café, Oliver added. Even in the current cramped South Surrey facility, Oliver already attracts people from all over the world. “We probably do about 10 to 15 tours a day,” he noted. “We get people from all over the world even in this little place we’ve got now, with my adult career course, I have people come from all over

the world. From Australia, from Sweden, Germany, England, even the states. With a proper facility, it’s going to really bring more of an international flavour.” Oliver guesses he’ll need about 10 acres of land for the venue, as there are plans for activities around the facility itself. He has met with the City of Surrey about the proposed ecology centre, and he hopes the municipality will donate the land, or make a sweetheart deal to get the project off the ground. Some estimates have put the cost of the project at upwards of $50 million, noted Oliver, who has private investors lined up. Laurie Cavan, Surrey’s manager of parks, recreation and culture, said the city had some “preliminary discussions” in 2013 with the group about the facility. Cavan said the city is awaiting a business plan and expects there will be a meeting in the coming weeks to see how far along the project is in terms of a concept plan for the facility, business case and budget.

SURREY — A 23-year-old Surrey actor is taking his first leading role in a Fringe Festival production that’s taking off today (Thursday, Sept. 4) in Vancouver. Tarun Keram will be playing the leading role of Mark in Meat Loaf Jesus, originally written as a one-person play and set in Edmonton. “It’s my first professional play,” Keram said of his new role, noting that he had always been interested in video and film.“We had a video and film class in high school and I kind of tinkered with the cameras and stuff and I thought,‘Hey, this would be cool.’ In grade 12, I finally took a drama class and after that I just went into film school.” Keram, who graduated in 2009 from Tamanawis secondary school, took classes at Vancouver Film School and caught the attention of instructor David C. Jones, who is the director of Meat Loaf Jesus. “I helped out (Jones) last year and I just did a small cameo in one of his shows, and then he contacted me a few months ago and said,‘Hey, do you want to stretch out your legs and do a lead,’ and I said,‘OK sure,’” Keram said. The 40-minute play is one of few GLBT productions happening as part of Vancouver Fringe Festival, and deals with coming-of-age themes of homosexuality, religion and a little bit of classic rock. Hint: that’s the “Meat Loaf” aspect. “It’s a story about three kids who are young. They’re full of fun, full of rage, full of mischief but they all come from very abusive backgrounds but they all have a slightly different situation,” Jones explained.“But they

all kind of bonded together and they try their best to help each other.” Keram, who plays the younger version of Mark, said the story was initially a lot to take on, but he’s grateful to use his acting chops. “It was overwhelming at first,” the actor admitted,“just because I’m playing a gay character and I’m not gay, so that’s one of the things I had to get out of the way right away.” Jones said that although he believes in the process of auditioning and casting, he called on Keram because he had the right stuff for the leading role. “Tarun had the right sort of sensitive Tarun Keram nature which alludes to, it doesn’t say it outright, but alludes to that father figure being quite abusive,” Jones said. “It has made the child quite shy and quite scared and again that whole sweetness of Tarun made me think,‘I think he can probably do that.’ He’s not a loud, in your face kind of person. I thought he’d fit.” Meanwhile, Keram is doing his best in the role, despite differences that he may have with the character. “I’m just treating it like any other play; I’m just playing a role,” he said.“That’s my job as an actor. I think a lot of people would kill to take this role, someone who’s quite opposite from you.” Meat Loaf Jesus starts Thursday, Sept. 4 and runs until Sept. 14 at Vancouver’s Studio 16. Tickets are $14 and can be purchased at Vancouverfringe.com.

GO! The arts

No school means more time to plan ‘back to’ activities ArtsScene Melanie Minty Columnist

all is the season for “back to” activities – music, dance, theatre and other artistic type pursuits. Of course, for young people, it is usually back-to-school time as well, but not this year for those in the public system. This year, parents have the opportunity to search out extracurricular activities without the additional stress of getting school stuff sorted. See? I can do a positive spin on the situation. Sometimes people write to me asking for more information, or where else to look for something, like acting lessons. I actually don’t keep a file on all the organizations and classes available, but I know someone who does: The Arts Council of Surrey. I am constantly amazed at the scope of activity this volunteer organization covers. Make the ACS your first step in search of music, dance or theatre lessons. Phone 604-594-2700, email to info@artscouncilofsurrey and visit Artscouncilofsurrey.ca.

Now, a little music: Chris Hall, manager of Surrey Children’s Choir, wants you to know that this award-winning choir is seeking singers for its 2014/15 season. There is actually a family of six choirs ready to welcome singers of all ages: Junior Training Choir (ages 6 - 9); Intermediate Training Choir (ages 9 -12); Surrey Children’s Choir (ages 12 - 18); Surrey Youth Chorus (ages 17+); Surrey Chamber Choir (by invitation) and Surrey Community Chorus (adults). Rehearsals are on Wednesdays at Ocean Cliff Elementary in South Surrey – starting at 3:45 p.m. and ending at 10 p.m., depending on the choir. Surrey Community Chorus rehearses on Thursday nights at Ocean Cliff from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. This year, there will also be a Junior Training Choir rehearsing on Thursday afternoons in North Surrey at Simon Cunningham Elementary from 3:45 to 4:45 p.m. These exuberant young voices are heard often at civic and community events, and have appeared live on CBC Radio. For further information and/or to book an audition, call 604-541-2519 or email surreychildrenschoir@telus.net; also check the website at Surreychildrenschoir.ca. We are blessed in this community with

more than one children’s choir. British Columbia Girls’ Choir (BCGC) has just returned from an appearance at the famed Oregon Bach Festival and Pacific International Children’s Choral Festival (PICCFest). The BCGC singers represented the communities of Burnaby, Maple Ridge, New Westminster, Port Moody, Richmond, Surrey and Vancouver. The choir is led by Fiona Blackburn, professional singer and music educator. “It never ceases to amaze me that girls from all different backgrounds, and from all over Metro Vancouver, can meet in September and, within a few weeks, are creating fantastic music,” she said. “More importantly, they are building friendships that, in many cases, last a lifetime.” This coming season, BCGC has an extensive and exciting performance and training schedule, which concludes with an extensive European tour in summer 2015. Again, you will have to do some research on your own; I could use more space, but there it is. The choir welcomes new singers for September start-up. There are openings for girls aged five to young adult. Information is on the website at Bcgirlschoir.org. Music you can listen to, rather than being

an active performer: White Rock Chamber Music Program takes place at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 13 at Crescent Gardens Retirement Community, 1222 King George Blvd., South Surrey. Featured performers will be pianist Vivian Wu, tenor Russell Morgan, the guitar and voice duo of Ping and Sandy Erickson, and the Page Players (Leanne Page, Conner Page and Liam Page) performing harp, guitar, piano, recorder and voice. Admission is $5. Everyone is welcome. These concerts are well attended and always a musical treat. You know how you can know someone for more than 20 years and still not know everything about them? Longtime friend Lyn Verra-Lay has a passion for the performing arts. I know that part. I also knew she was creative, but I didn’t know she taught art classes! Verra-Lay is the featured artist at SAGA’s Thursday Artist Talk on Sept. 4, 7:30 p.m. start at Surrey Art Gallery. Her focus will be showing you how to combine clothing from consignment stores to make one-of-a-kind outfits. Recycle, reuse, create. Admission is free. It is art, and Lyn exhibits her art in every outfit. Fun, funky and free.

Sunday fun day for footballers Like other teams in the organization, the North Delta Longhorns’ bantam team played its first game of the Vancouver Mainland Football League (VMFL) season on Sunday afternoon (Aug. 31) at John Oliver Park in Delta. The local squad, which includes former B.C. Lions running back Cory Philpot as a coach, stomped on a team from Cowichan by a score of 48-0. The Now’s Gord Goble was there to shoot the on-field action.

PLAY Junior A hockey

We’re excited to have the opportunity to see the group of kids that we feel will have a really good chance to play here this year or next year.

New Eagles bench boss eager to see intensity Kyle Benning

Now contributor Twitter @KBBenning

SURREY — After a career with guidance under Willie Desjardins and Don Hay, Blaine Neufeld will step behind the Surrey Eagles bench trying to replicate their successes. Head coach Neufeld and the Eagles kick off pre-season on Friday, Sept. 5 with an exhibition game against the Chiefs at Prospera Centre in Chilliwack. The Eagles opened their camp on Labour Day with 70 skaters taking to the ice. Neufeld said he would take 30 players to Friday’s game and that he will give every player a fair chance to prove they can play in the BCHL. “We’re definitely getting anxious for the (game),” Neufeld said. “We’re excited to have the opportunity to see the group of kids that we feel will have a really good chance to play here this year or next year.” The head coach said some of the players looked “tentative” at the start of camp, but noticed the competition level came up on Tuesday (Sept. 2) when the

veteran players were added to the mix. “That immediately made it more of a ‘real’ camp. The intensity came up, bodies are starting to check and (there is) a lot of progress now,” said Neufeld. Neufeld, who is filling the position left by former Vancouver Canuck Peter Schaefer, said the camp isn’t just important to the young kids. It’s also vital for the experienced players, as it will decide what line they play on. “They want to show the coaches what they improved on all summer long and that’s why they work so hard, to make sure you come to camp, you make that good first impression. It’s crucial in these short weeks.” The coach said he was impressed with Latrell Charleson, a Surrey defenseman who spent last season with the Battlefords North Stars in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League. At six-feetfour-inches and 220 pounds, the 19-year-old is the largest physical presence on the roster.“He’s a physical force, and an anchor of our blue line already,” said Neufeld.“We’re very excited about him.”

Applewood Kia responds to ALS Ice Bucket Challenge Surrey’s Applewood Kia team took up the latest ALS Ice Bucket Challenge with eleven fearless fund-raisers lining up to be “iced”. There was no shortage of volunteers from amongst their co-workers to tip the buckets of ice capped water over them, especially as the victims included three of the sales management team; Alex Thorne, Manny Jawanda and Gurpreet Singh plus CFO Norman Isaak. Payback time plus over $1000 raised for researching a cure for ALS often referred to as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease”.

Selecting a teen driver’s first vehicle

Many mothers and fathers are reticent to have their teen children join the millions of drivers on the nation’s roadways. A teen driver can test one’s nerves. Once a teenager receives his or her license, the family will have to reassess their automotive needs or risk fighting over the family automobile somewhat regularly. There are certain practices that should be commonplace even if a teen is anxious to simply run to the nearest dealership and pick out a car. Industry experts agree that there are some tips parents can follow when selecting a teen’s first car: • Shop for pre-owned vehicles. Most families are already feeling the heat of overtaxed budgets. Another car payment could be unaffordable. Plus, insurance premiums for a teenage driver could be very expensive, especially if that teen is driving a brand new car. Shop for a car that is a few years old. Not only will it have plenty of miles still left in it, but also, if an accident occurs, the repairs likely won’t be as expensive as they would if a new car gets dinged up. • Seek out sedans. Sure, they may not be the ultracool sports car or the behemoth SUV, but sedans are large enough to effectively protect a driver in an accident and will have plenty of room to carpool friends to movies, sports games and such. • Make kids bear some of the financial burden. Parents should make their children financially responsible for the car in one way or another. Whether they contribute a few dollars to the monthly bill or are responsible for oil changes and fuel costs, having a financial investment may encourage kids to be more careful with the vehicle. • Teach defensive driving. A vehicle is only as safe as its driver. Consider defensive-driving courses in addition to the regular driving courses and exams the teen has taken. It will help him or her learn even more about being safe on the road. Of course, experience through road miles is another way to gain expertise.

INFORM Surrey mother charged after starving baby found SURREY – Mounties have arrested a Surrey mother accused of failing to care for her toddler after he was found starving to death. The 23-year-old woman, who was arrested over the weekend, has been charged with failure to provide the necessities of life and criminal negligence. Police say the baby was sent to hospital, but cannot confirm whether he is still in hospital. He is in the care of the Ministry of Children and Family Development.

Police say that when he was found, he had the weight of a baby a year younger than him. “The last we have heard is that the condition has improved immensely and (he is) making great positive strides from a medical perspective,” said Cpl. Bert Paquet. Two other people were arrested in connection with this case, but have yet to be charged. The case is still under investigation and police are appealing to witnesses to come forward if they have any information.
