Alleged dog thief held six nights in jail

$50,000 cash bail for Olson’s release Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A South Surrey woman jailed last week for breaching court-ordered conditions imposed in connection with an extensive dog-theft investigation learned Wednesday she can have her freedom back. But Janet Olson had to come up with $50,000 to get it. (At Peace Arch News press time two hours later, she was still in custody.)

The cash bail was among a slew of conditions imposed on Olson by Judge Donald Gardner, following a bail hearing in Surrey Provincial Court. A court-ordered ban prevents publication of any of the evidence presented during the hearing. The 58-year-old – founder of A Better Life Dog Rescue – had been in custody at the Surrey Pretrial Services Centre since the previous

Thursday, when officers with Surrey RCMP’s Property Crime Target Team, acting on a tip from the public, obtained a search warrant for her home and then arrested her. RCMP Sgt. Drew Grainger said the next day that the search gave the officers “reasonable grounds to believe that the offence of breaching her recognizance had taken place. “Our members were able to obtain a search warrant which confirmed that we had

enough evidence to substantiate a charge that she was still operating a business, allegedly… which was one of her conditions to not do,” he said. Olson, who is a pilot for Air Canada, was given numerous conditions to abide by last fall, following her arrest Nov. 21 in connection with the theft of a bulldog from a Coquitlam backyard. › see page A4

A developer who had received permission to cut down 39 trees on his property is responsible for other trees removed on neighbouring properties.

Fees include $25,400 fine and $150,000 three-year security deposit

Developer penalized $175,000 for trees Black Press

A local developer is fuming after being slapped with fines and a damage deposit totalling more than $175,000 for cutting down trees in Newton in August. Paul Bal said the issue has been blown out of proportion in the media and said that if there was damage, it was caused by his subcontractor, JB Demolition. The city said neither Bal or JB Demolition is accepting blame for the cut, which Surrey

general manager of planning and development Jean Lamontagne said went beyond city permits and into protected parkland areas and other private lands. City staff also said JB Demolition doesn’t have a Surrey business licence, which would be required to do the tree-cutting work. In August, the city gave permission for Bal to cut down 39 trees on his property at 5904 144 St. to make room for two residential lots. When JB Demolition arrived, those trees were cut down, along with several others in a park,

along a riverbed, and on two private properties. City staff allege that the heavy equipment was delivered to the west side of the property and was driven over a tributary of Hyland Creek to work on the east portion of the land. Damage to the creek bed caught the immediate attention of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) officials, who launched an investigation. So did the City of Surrey. › see page A4

Changes are coming to pay parking on White Rock’s waterfront. But Mayor Wayne Baldwin made it clear that further revisions at the urging of the White Rock Business Improvement Association will not be considered anytime soon. “One thing I can promise you, we’re not going to be reviewing our rates again with the BIA during this term of office. This is it. Done. Finished,” he told council Monday. The recommendations, which will be implemented Nov. 1 and include a $175 off-season, nonresident waterfront parking decal program, were approved that night. While council members expressed excitement at the pilot program, concerns were raised about the use of the decals by employees of Marine Drive businesses. “Staff will buy them. They will get around the four-hour limit by just moving cars to two different spots,” Baldwin said. “Hopefully, the merchants are on the lookout for that. I suspect the best parking spaces will be taken up by their own staff, especially in rainy weather. › see page A5

complicated, and the region seems to use this bureaucracy to its advantage, in keeping details of its day-to-day operations from the public – deliberately or otherwise. The structure of health-care administration should really be irrelevant. What is important is that health care is available to people when they really need it. For the most part, that is the case in Surrey. But waits at emergency are far too lengthy. The new tower will have a larger emergency and perhaps that will ease waits. Waits for routine tests and screening are often far too long. And many surgery waiting lists are unacceptably long. Ever since Surrey Memorial Hospital first opened back in 1958, it has strived to offer good health care to residents. For the most part, it has succeeded. Many people have benefited from its presence in the community. But the provincial government in particular must ensure that Surrey gets a large share of future hospital expansion dollars. This community is not going to stop growing, and we have been playing catch up from the day SMH opened. Surrey is just as important a part of B.C. as any other community, and must get the services that people need in times of sickness. Peace Arch Hospital in White Rock will also need significant expansion and additional services. It serves a good portion of Surrey, one that is rapidly growing. While it will never be on the scale of SMH, its services remain just as vital. Frank Bucholtz writes Thursdays for the Peace Arch News. He is the editor of the Langley Times.

Rolling out Surrey’s revamped garbage-pickup system not without ‘bumps and grinds’

‘We’re asking for a little bit of patience’ Dan Ferguson Staff reporter

All things considered, a City of Surrey spokesperson said, the new garbage collection system got off to a good start Monday, but it was not without some glitches. Rob Costanzo, Surrey’s deputy operations manager in the engineering department, said about 1,200 out of 100,000 Surrey residences in the program had not received the new garbage carts from the city in time. As well, some garbage pickup was late, and some residents were having trouble finding space for the carts. None of that is unexpected and all of it can be sorted out, Costanzo told Peace Arch News Tuesday. “We anticipated that we would have some bumps and grinds,” Costanzo said. “We’re just asking for a little bit of patience.” Costanzo said the launch actually went better than expected, with 90 per cent of Surrey residents putting out the proper combination of garbage carts on Monday. “Once the dust settles, we firmly believe our customers will see this is just a fantastic model for waste collection.” As part of preparing for the rollout of the new service, Costanzo said the city required the contractor to have extra trucks in reserve to cover missed pick-ups. That was good news for South Surrey resident Mike Kristensen, who said none of the six detached houses on his 19A Avenue cul-desac near 160 Street got picked up Monday, when the new garbage collection launched. Kristensen said he kept getting busy signals when he phoned the city’s waste hotline to report the problem, and when he finally did get through, he reached a recorded message that advised people to call back later due to the volume of calls. “I totally understand that it’s not easy to get up and running,” Kris-

tensen said, “but the should have had a contingency plan.” Late Tuesday, two trucks came by and emptied both bins at his house. South Surrey resident Ralph Semple, who lives in a townhouse on 24 Avenue near the Highway 99 overpass, had a different problem. He said his small garage simply doesn’t have enough room to store the three large-size bins dropped off by the city. “It’s ridiculous,” Semple said. It would have been nice, he said, if the city had made it clear that smaller bins were an option. He intends to get the smaller waste carts, and in the meantime

20-month sentence An Abbotsford man has been sentenced to a 20-month jail term for committing a home break-in with his brother in 2011. Appearing in Surrey Provincial Court Monday, Dane Dorozan, 36, was also handed two years’ probation. He and his brother Darwin, 38, were arrested in August 2011 by the Surrey RCMP following a home break-in in South Surrey. Dane was sentenced on one count of break and enter. Darwin was originally charged with 21 counts of break and enter, one count of possession of stolen property, and one count of assault with a weapon. He pleaded guilty to 12 of those offences in May of this year and received an eight-year jail term. Darwin was caught because he left behind knapsacks containing robbery tools and identifying materials, including a methadone prescription in his name, as well as lists of names, addresses and phone numbers of his robbery victims. RCMP checks of his cellphone records indicated he had called his victims’ residences – most of them in South Surrey – on the dates of

says he will have to leave the bigger ones outside, even though that violates city bylaws. Costanzo said less than 10 per cent of Surrey residents have asked for smaller or larger bins to date. The size of the bins assigned to a residence is based on two years of study, Costanzo said, but the city isn’t going to force anyone to take a particular size. What the city is asking for, he said, is for people to try the bins for “two or three weeks” before they decide if they want something bigger or smaller. As for problems finding storage space for carts, Costanza said that on request, the city will send some-

the robberies to find out whether they were home. On Aug. 15, 2011, a police surveillance team watched Dane and Darwin remove electronics from a home in the 16400-block of 28 Avenue and arrested them. In January of this year, Dane was sentenced to 18 months’ probation and a $1,000 fine in Abbotsford provincial court for an unrelated drug possession charge.

Virgin advice One of the world’s best-known billionaires is arriving in Surrey today (Thursday) to take part in the 2012 Surrey Regional Economic Summit. Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said securing Richard Branson, the founder of the Virgin Group, as keynote speaker was a coup. “When you’ve got someone of that calibre, the wealth of information... is absolutely invaluable,” Watts said. The English entrepreneur is the only person ever to create eight separate billiondollar companies, each in a different sector. Branson said in a release earlier this year the Surrey summit will be a chance for him to share his perspective on the importance

one out to have a look. “We’ll go and see,” he said. But it may take a while depending on how many requests come in, he added. He projects it will take about a month to swat most of the bugs in the new system. “It’ll get easier,” Costanzo said. “Transition is tricky. It’s always tricky for a city this size.” On a related matter, Costanzo noted some callers to the city have been asking which bin should be used for disposing of dog waste. The correct answer, he said, is none of them. There has never been an approved method of dumping dog poo into the wastecollection system. “That’s a myth,” Costanzo said. “That ban is imposed by Metro Vancouver.” The Metro Vancouver website says pet waste should be disposed by flushing them down a toilet or composting it in the back yard. “Thousands of tonnes of pet waste goes to the landfill every year, often sealed in little plastic bags,” the website states. “In the landfill, it decomposes

and generates methane gas. Methane is a greenhouse gas, about 21 times more potent than carbondioxide, that contributes to global warming.” In a Sept. 27 email to Costanzo, Esther Bérubé, a Metro Vancouver project engineer with the regional zero waste implementation initiative, said cat feces should not be flushed because they may contain parasites that could harm aquatic wildlife. While technically banned from garbage, too, Bérubé said small amounts from a household with one to three cats, double-bagged, can be “tolerated.” She also recommends against flushing cat litter, even the “flushable” variety, because it can clog the sewage system. The change in the way Surrey trash is collected is part of Metro Vancouver’s regional waste strategy that aims to raise the recycling rate to 70 per cent by 2015. More information is available at the city’s website, www.surrey. ca/rethinkwaste or by calling the waste collection hotline at 604590-7289.

Olson not to possess more dogs › from page A1 A Surrey woman who was arrested at the same time, Louise Reid, was sentenced Sept. 7 after pleading guilty to stealing two dogs, including the bulldog. The charge against Olson – along with dozens of other charges that have been laid since – has not been proven in court. Reid’s sentence included a conditional discharge, a year’s probation and an order to pay $2,500 restitution to the owner of the second dog, an American Staffordshire. In addition to the cash bail, Gardner ordered Olson to: abide by an 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew; not possess a cellphone or any dogs other than the two she already owns; not to visit any websites associated with dog-adoption; not to have any contact with

directors or volunteers of ABLDR except through her lawyer; and to return any ABLDR mail that comes to her address unopened and marked ‘return to sender.’ Outside court, Olson’s husband and friends who attended the hearing declined to comment. Olson’s lawyer, Craig Sicotte told Peace Arch News that he was “happy” Gardner ruled to release her. He had warned his client beforehand that the decision had not been a certainty, he said. Olson is now due back in court on Oct. 31. The date is the same that was set Tuesday for four other women – Diane Young Hale, Christine Carter, Michaela Schnittker and Natalia Borojevic – who are also facing charges as a result of the police investigation. Only Young Hale and Carter

appeared in person that morning. Wray told the court that both Schnittker and Borojevic were in the process of completing a diversion program, and that Carter, who arrived at court using a walker and on oxygen, is expected to be considered for a diversion referral. Carter, a Surrey resident, told the court that she doesn’t have a lawyer and won’t be getting one to defend herself against the theft charge that was laid in connection with a March 25, 2007 incident in New Westminster. “Can’t afford one,” she told PAN. Declining to comment on the charge she is facing, Carter described the volume of charges and number of people involved in the case as “ridiculous.”

Developer says he’s not to blame › from page A1 Don Luymas, Surrey’s manager of community planning, said it’s not clear who was at fault for the cut, but added for the city’s purposes, it doesn’t matter. The developer, who is in charge of the project, must take ultimate responsibility for his subtrades, Luymas said. Bal insists the tree cut was not his fault. But he said the media blew the issue out of proportion, adding he will take a huge financial hit for the mistake. “I’ve already spent over 10 grand to hire an arborist and environmentalist and all that,”

Bal said, estimating the remedial work in the park land will run into tens of thousands of dollars. “It’s going to be costly,” Bal said. In all, the total bill for Bal will be more than $175,000. The bulk of that (about $150,000) is a security deposit to ensure restoration work in the park is still viable in three years, and the city says $25,400 is a fine for what it believes were 14 bylaw-size trees taken down on private properties. Bal said there were only nine trees that came down without permits. Bal noted not even the profits from the development are likely

to cover the cost of fines and deposits. “I don’t think so, not at all, zero,” Bal said. If Bal believes his subcontractor is responsible for the damage, he can seek remedies through legal action. “If I have no choice, I will,” Bal said. He’s not sure the subcontractor has the financial means to cover the bill. Bal’s remediation plan has yet to be reviewed and accepted by both the City of Surrey and the DFO.

Single-tree query had city debating removing nine

Halloween Costumes!

View request flourishes Staff Reporter

Nine honey locust trees have their roots planted firmly adjacent to Pacific Avenue and, after this week’s White Rock council meeting, that’s where they will stay, despite complaints of view obstruction. Two councillors expressed confusion as to how the request to remove one tree at the cost of an applicant who says the tree has grown to obscure her ocean view at 15210 Pacific Ave., turned into a suggestion to remove an entire row of trees, with the city footing the bill for eight of the nine. The suggestion, recommended by city manager Dan Bottrill and arborist Aelicia Otto, was a result of a special meeting in July, when council instructed staff to look into the possibility of replacing all of the trees. Couns. Helen Fathers and Louise Hutchinson, who were not present at the special meeting, expressed disapproval about the cost – estimated between $6,000 and $27,500 – to taxpayers. “That just doesn’t make sense to me, one person coming forDan Ferguson photo ward and then we say no, we’re City trees are to remain, after White Rock council voted to do nothing. going to turn it around and my tax dollars are going to pay for denied by the director of engi- something that would grow only this.

Decal cost increase to offset lease › from page A1 “However, we’ll give it a try.” For years, White Rock has struggled to find a pay-parking solution that satisfies both businesses and visitors. This week, council members said they hope that this payment structure – $3 an hour from May 1 to Oct. 31 and $1.50 an hour Nov. 1 to April 30 from 10 a.m to midnight – will be the one that sticks. “We’ve gone back and forth with parking issues in this city for a number of years. We’ve had free parking in the winter, cheap parking in the winter,” Coun. Grant Meyer said.

“Hopefully, this will be the winning formula that will deliver certainty for business owners as well as guests coming from outside the city, so they know what to expect. Hopefully, this won’t change year after year after year. Hopefully, this is the formula that can carry on for many years.” In order to offset the revenue lost by changing the parking structure, director of financial services Sandra Kurylo estimated the city needs to sell 250-260 non-resident decals. Other changes set for Nov. 1 include price increases for resident decals to $40 from $30 and

merchant parking decals to $300 from $265, as well as further discussions about a parking structure at the waterfront. The increase in the rate for resident parking decals is to help offset a hefty increase by Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway for use of the land, said Baldwin. “We’re going to have to pay another $50,000 a year to Burlington Northern for the land and that amount is being picked up mostly by resident decals,” he said. Currently the city pays $350,000 annually for the land, however that lease expires July 31, 2013.

editorial

The food chain has changed dramatically

massive recall of beef that emerged from a Brooks, Alta. processing plant this month should cause people to pause and think about the food chain, and how demands for low consumer prices may have a long-term effect. The way that meat goes from farm to the table has changed dramatically in the past 50 years. There used to be many more slaughterhouses than there are today. They were smaller and, by today’s standards, pretty primitive. There were several in B.C., including what was once called Pacific Meats and later Intercontinental Packers, in South Vancouver. There were also many small slaughterhouses, including Borsato’s in Langley and others. Today, B.C. farmers and ranchers produce a large supply of cattle for the meat market. But for the most part, they are now shipped off to huge feed lots on the Prairies for a final fattening up before being butchered. A few farmers and ranchers raise some cattle to full size and sell meat to customers or specialty butcher shops directly. In virtually all cases, this meat is more expensive – but it comes with the assurance that the final consumer knows just where the meat originated and how it has been handled. Almost every large grocery retailer buys beef from a handful of huge plants, such as the Brooks facility. It’s estimated that up to 40 per cent of the beef sold in B.C. comes from that plant. That’s why the recall list is a long one. Grocery chains today have to offer low prices to get customers in the door, and meat prices are among the most closely-watched. Getting good value for your dollar has never been more important. But as details about the recall emerge, it seems clear that the volume of cattle moving through the Brooks plant and the sheer difficulty in keeping E. coli infections under control are major factors in this serious issue. And this is serious. It’s not just ground beef that has been affected, but steaks and roasts. These cuts have rarely been reported as being infection risks in the past. It is vitally important to cook meat thoroughly, but it is also important to know where your meat comes from. A push for low prices and efficiencies isn’t a bad thing, but it should never be at the expense of good health. Hopefully out of all this will come a demand by meat eaters for better information about the food they eat, and where it comes from.

which kills more people each year than all other drugs combined. We must ban cigarettes. We must ban sugar. We must ban trans-fats. If health is the benchmark, we must ban it all — and, if we did, the black-market mavens who now feast on marijuana, cocaine and ecstasy profits, will be drooling in anticipation of becoming wealthy beyond their dreams. There is also the youth argument — that legalizing pot will encourage youth to smoke and make it more available. No, what it will do is separate marijuana from truly destructive substances and end the lie given to kids that a joint will lead to a life on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. When kids realize smoking pot does not, in fact, lead to a Reefer Madness psychotic state — as has been preached to them incessantly — is it any wonder they may not believe us when we try to convey the dangers of cocaine, crack and heroin? Try this experiment to determine availability: Wander down to any high school and ask a teenager to get you a six-pack of Budweiser. Ask another to get you some pot. Guess which one will deliver immediately? Guess which one will have a hell of a time procuring the goods? Does it not seem strange to prohibitionists that the illegal substance is so much easier to obtain by kids than is the regulated, taxed substance? There is no logic to maintaining the illegality of marijuana, and to argue the issue is beyond exhausting. Chris Foulds is the editor of Kamloops This Week, sister paper to the Peace Arch News.

Abortion debated Editor: Re: Hiebert seeks more talk on abortion, Sept. 27. I am disappointed in South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale MP Russ Hiebert’s vote to resurrect the abortion debate. He claims that only the Parliament is the appropriate forum to discuss the matter. His apparent attempt to conceal his conceivably antiabortion views does not impress me. Most members of the Parliament are men. I have the view that no man has a right to decide what is really a woman’s prerogative. Each and every woman should have complete control over her body. Not even an Act of Parliament should legislate a woman’s body. Period. Wayne Sinclair, Surrey n Twice I’ve had a miscarriage. In that context, most people know that it is hurtful – and insulting – to say, “it was just a blob of tissues.” Similarly, who would keep going to a midwife who said, “Just lie down and we’ll listen for the heartbeat of that blob of cells growing in you?” Congratulations to MP Russ Hiebert for supporting Motion 312. If Canada allows and funds abortions, it should be clear about exactly what is being done. Why be afraid of open, informed dialogue? Christine Van Raalte, Surrey n MP Russ Hiebert is abusing his parliamentary office to promote his personal anti-abortion agenda. This issue has already been decided by the courts and the court of public opinion. He needs to respect these decisions or resign. Aart Looye, Surrey n The group behind a roadside memorial drawing attention to abortion at 188 Street and Fraser Highway was planning to dismantle the respectful display Monday, but vandals got to it first. I was notified Sunday morning it had been totally destroyed. Indeed, upon arrival it was clear that private property rights had been violated and the trespasser(s) had completely destroyed the abortion memorial. This was a completely selfish act, which essentially symbolizes the tragedy of abortion itself. Unfortunately, it is in the best interests of some to destroy that which is not wanted. The reaction towards our solemn memorial is in fact no different than some would react to the news that a child has been conceived; get rid of that which is not wanted. The very reason we assembled this memorial was to draw attention to the plight of pre-born children and invite the community to join the conversation. It’s unfortunate that some have taken it upon themselves to make their views known in such a selfish manner, rather than engage in civil, rational and respectful debate. Mike Schouten, Surrey

Rasode supports UBCM motion on decriminalization

Watts, Baldwin say no to pot plan Tom Fletcher, Kevin Diakiw & Tracy Holmes Black Press

After a passionate debate and a close vote, delegates to the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention passed a motion last week calling on the federal government to decriminalize marijuana. The UBCM placed major emphasis on the debate this year, staging a debate Monday featuring former B.C. attorney general Geoff Plant, in favour of loosening pot laws, and University of the Fraser Valley criminologist Darryl Plecas opposed. After a lineup of speakers on the impact of marijuana grow ops on communities and crime impact, a show of hands by hundreds of delegates Wednesday supported the call for decriminalization. City of Surrey representatives Mayor Dianne Watts and Couns. Marvin Hunt, Bruce Hayne and Linda Hepner voted against the initiative, while Coun. Barinder Rasode voted in favour. Rasode – saying it was an extremely tough decision – said she’s read a lot on the subject and believes the current system simply isn’t working. White Rock council members attending the conference were not present for the vote,

Hepner said there simply wasn’t enough information to make a snap decision on the floor. Okanagan-Similkameen area director Tom Siddon, a former federal cabinet minister, said his local police reject decriminalization. “I think we’ve been frying too many brains,” Siddon said. “It’s going to aggravate the temptation of young people to move from marijuana, which may well be more harmless than a few bottles of beer, to being hooked on heroin, cocaine and the chemical designer drugs.”

Family and friends also hope that a celebration of Ben’s birthday will further spread the message to ‘Live like Ben, love like Ben.’ Trompetter and Ben’s siblings, Tyler and Meghan, along with about a dozen close friends, spent Sept. 16 – Ben’s 28th birthday – on a sailboat in the Georgia Strait. The group set off from Saltspring Island after writing private messages to Ben that were rolled together, tied with a ribbon and sealed in a bottle along with one of the

red plastic wristbands that were created in Ben’s memory. The captain – who took the group out at a significantly reduced rate after learning what they were doing – guided the vessel into the currents, where Tara set the bottle adrift. She hopes whoever finds it, wherever it washes ashore, will read the messages and be inspired by who Ben was. “(I’m) hoping that perhaps it could change their life in some way and they could live like Ben,” she said. Since Ben died, Tara has received more than 300 cards from people who were touched by her son and how he lived his life. Many referred to Ben as their best friend. Knowing the impact he had makes the pain of losing him easier to bear, she said. “He just meant so much to so many,” she said. “I’m so proud of him. I think that’s what eases my grief.” For more on the trust fund or to request ‘Live like Ben.

parking meter has expired? It’s not rocket science. A simple “please” or “thank you” would not go amiss. Back in 1922, in a time when many believed that good manners were “necessarily elaborate,” Mrs. Emily Post was a pioneer in simplifying them. She taught as the basis of all correct deportment that “no one should do anything that can either annoy or offend the sensibilities of others.” Every edition of her book emphasized the basic rule of etiquette: “Make the other person comfortable.” Her name became synonymous with good manners. Today in the 21st century, we need you more than ever, Emily! If you think good manners are non-existent in the real world, take a look at the realm of social media and instant messaging where pleasantries have been eliminated in favour of 140 character tweets. E-mail etiquette. Abbreviated missives of communication reduced to the bare basics and devoid of nuance and niceties.

Or no response at all. And wait until you enter the minefield of online dating sites. There should be a warning before logging on. Zoomers beware! Thick skins mandatory. Enter at your own peril. It seems anonymity gives potential relationship seekers the mandate to be verbally abusive, rude and aloof if you aren’t totally receptive to their obnoxious and overblown overtures. Rejection isn’t easily accepted as their “last word” dismissives and cutting comments will attest to. And even when things appear to click, and you speak on the phone for hours and decide to meet in person, good manners go by the wayside as you are stood up! It’s exhausting. Let’s go shopping instead. You can carry my parcels and hold the doors open for me. Please… and thank you.

My husband died several years ago and about a year ago I began dating again. A couple of months ago I married a fellow who has really made my life complete. My three adult children are resentful of my choice of life partner and feel very strongly that his presence in my life will jeopardize their rights to my estate. I have reassured them that when their father was still alive we made a will which contained a clause that our wills could not be changed. I told my children that in that will all my estate goes to my children. They seem upset. What can I say to them to make them understand?

When you remarried your old will became void no matter what clauses it contained about not changing your will. Your children are correct if they do not believe that they will receive your whole estate because your new husband has a substantial claim against it because, at this moment, you do not have a will.

Kasandra Harriman receives $3,000 bursary

New doctor in White Rock A new doctor-in-training will be making the rounds in White Rock for a few months next year, as part of ongoing efforts to entice new physicians to the community. Dr. Kasandra Harriman, a Delta native whose father grew up in White Rock, will be at the George Street Family Practice from January to March, taking

shifts with Drs. Rachel Bright and Kim Veldhuis. Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation officials announced Harriman’s recruitment to White Rock last week, crediting it to the Dr. Al Hogg Family Practice Legacy Bursary. The bursary aims to introduce a new doctor to the Semiahmoo

Peninsula through a rotation in a local family practice. Funding recipients are second-year family practice residents in a Canadian medical school. Harriman – a UBC School of Medicine resident – received the $3,000 award during an afternoon tea reception at the Dr. Al Hogg Pavilion. - Black Press

AN EVENING WITH

Mike MacSorely to run Cloverdale Fairgrounds

Adrian Dix

Rodeo names new manager Jennifer Lang Black Press

When it comes to finding someone qualified to oversee an event the size of the Cloverdale Rodeo and Country Fair – plus day-today operations of the Cloverdale Fairgrounds – the list of potential candidates would seem a fairly select group. But those are qualities Mike MacSorely has in spades. A former vice-president of operations for the Pacific National Exhibition with more than 20 years experience in the event industry, MacSorely is the new general manager of the Cloverdale Rodeo and Exhibition Association. Reached on his mobile phone as he oriented himself on the expansive fairgrounds, home to eight facilities that host more than 700 events each year, MacSorely sounded upbeat and excited about

his new job. “I’ve been here six hours and I’ve met some really great people who seem very dedicated,” he said. “One of the big things I want to do is make sure people know we’re an all-year operation,” he said, adding he is still getting acquainted with all of events and groups that take place at the fairgrounds, such as the weekly Cloverdale flea market, a longstanding Sunday tradition that remains a big draw. He’s also looking forward to getting to know more of the team of dedicated volunteers who grow into an army by the time the May long weekend rolls around each year to host the Cloverdale Rodeo and Country Fair. But most of all he’s looking forward to getting back into this line of work. “Once you do events, it gets into your blood,” he said. “It’s just exciting.”

LEADER OF THE BC NDP

He was with the PNE for 14 years, most recently with a role that included acting as the PNE’s liaison for the 2010 Winter Olympics in addition to overseeing the exhibition each year. Unlike many of his new colleagues in Cloverdale, he can’t ride a horse. Well, he doesn’t ride, to be more precise. “I’m allergic to horses. I have to be careful.” Planning is already underway for the 67th annual Cloverdale Rodeo and 124th Country Fair, slated for May 17 to 20, 2013. MacSorely fills a seat left vacant since June. “Mike brings a wealth of high caliber experience in the events and facility management sectors, and we’re looking forward to having his expertise in moving our association forward,” association president Shannon Claypool said.

Save money by reusing an ice cream bucket or other lidded container. • Empty food scraps into the Green Can. You can line your Green Can with a paper kraft bag to help keep it clean – bags are recommended and are available to purchase at all City facilities. Sorry, plastic bio-degradable bags are NOT currently accepted at local processing facilities. • The Green Can is picked up every week – make sure the decal is facing the street. • Please note, the Green Can program is only available to single family dwellings at this time. Need More Information? We can assist you with any questions you might have about our solid waste programs. Please contact the Department of Engineering and Municipal Operations at 604.541.2181 or visit us online at www.whiterockcity.ca/garbagecollection.

Chou is a volunteer tutor, in science, math and French, for students in Grades 8-10 at Semiahmoo Secondary. His busy schedule also includes volunteer service with the New Song Life Church youth group, Peace Arch Hospital, White Rock Hospice Thrift Store, Vancouver International Children’s Festival and Star of the Sea Parish. An avid athlete, Chou is team assistant captain for the school’s varsity basketball team, and plays on the varsity volleyball team, while his activities also include the basketball club, the grad council club, media awareness club and chess club.

Halloween Howl, featuring Daniel Wesley, will benefit all-abilities park

Firefighters work towards a place for everyone Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

White Rock firefighters are turning up the volume on their quest to raise money for an all-abilities playground on White Rock’s waterfront. And they’ve got the backing of some hometown talent to help them do it. White Rock-born reggae-rocker Daniel Wesley – who spent the first few years of his childhood in the seaside city – is headlining a dance at the Star of the Sea Hall on Oct. 27 for the cause. “I get asked to do a lot of different charitable events. Normally, I have to turn them down,” Wesley said last week. “This one seemed like a really good thing to be a part of.” Firefighter Evan Bird spearheaded the dance idea with colleague Bira Bhindra. It’s the latest in efforts to raise money for the park, which has also been supported by proceeds of recent princess parties hosted by Bird’s mother, Myra Merkal – including one held in August that raised $12,000. Bird set his sights on an all-abilities park after the August 2010 loss of the playground in Semiahmoo Park. He used to take his daughters to play there, and said the value such a place has in a community is immeasurable. “You realize once something’s gone, what you’re missing out on,” Bird said. “This is absolutely ludicrous that

we don’t have a park on the beach. “What better place to have a social gathering spot?” While there are still many details to work out, including how much money is needed and exactly where the park will be located – he’s hoping for a site on East Beach – Bird said he is determined to forge ahead. “Everybody” he talks to about the idea is supportive, he added. Signing Wesley to perform at the Halloween Howl only added to the thrill of the effort. Wesley, whose brother Micah Rossnagel is a Langley firefighter, told Peace Arch News his connection to the community dates back 30 years, to the day he was born. All three of his grandparents live in White Rock, and he spent many a day on the city’s waterfront, even after his family moved to Langley. “I grew up on that beach,” the nowVancouver resident said. “There should be access for everybody.” He described the request to play on Oct. 27 as “a really nice phone call to get.” For those planning to attend the dance, Wesley said his goal is “just to entertain and be entertained.” The evening is to also feature Six Gun Romeo. Tickets, $30, can be purchased at the firehall (15315 Pacific Ave.) or online at www.wrff. eventbrite.ca For more information, call 604531-6045.

Breast Cancer Awareness month is marked with fundraising gala

Support for breast cancer on the Peninsula T

here is no doubt almost each person on the Peninsula has known someone who has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Whether it is a friend, a mother, a sister, a daughter or even an acquaintance For the team at Potters, it was two of their employees and one store manager who were diagnosed within six months of each other. The diagnoses spurred owner Ed Holden into action, with the creation of the Potters annual Give Someone Hope Gala as the result. “It really hit home with all of us. We decided on a fun event as we have co-sponsored other breast cancer fundraisers and found that many of them were a little upsetting to attend,” Holden said. “We wanted something upbeat and fun where both survivors and friends of survivors and nonsurvivors could come out and celebrate life.” Now in it’s fifth year, the gala has raised more than $40,000, with all net proceeds going directly to UBC researchers working on a cure. This year, the Oct. 18 gala will include live music – including harpists to greet you at the door – a solo musical performer and ABBA tribute performers, Abra Cadabra. The evening will be fullycatered with gourmet hors

d’oeuvres, local wine and beer, as well as non-alcoholic beverages. Another bonus, the silent auction, which Holden thinks will be the largest yet, with more than 250 items. The gala will be held at Potters 192 (19158 48 Ave.) Doors open at 6 p.m. For more information, visit www.pottersonline.ca/home/ breast-cancer-gala/ On a more day-to-day basis, Silhouette Fine Lingerie offers women undergoing mastectomies with products and services to help cope with the surgery. Fiona Mulligan and her staff are trained consultants on mastectomy bras, prosthetics, camisoles and more. The staff are constantly undergoing training to keep upto-date with the latest products and services offered and aim to create a smooth transition after surgery, said Fiona. “Every woman has a different issue when they have a breast removed. Not one person is the same, which is why, at least once a year, we update our training,” she said. When Fiona purchased the lingerie store eight years ago, she knew that she wanted to continue offering the mastectomy services, and more importantly, continue helping woman during an incredibly difficult time.

“I wanted to help people in my community get their confidence back, whether it’s just a simple bra fitting or helping someone get their self-image and get the confidence back that people feel they were robbed of,” she said. “It’s very rewarding to meet a total stranger in a change room and all of a sudden they have opened their arms and are giving you a hug.” While not every experience is smooth sailings, Fiona said, noting that there are a few people who do not wish to learn about their options in regards to garments that can provide easy access for tubes and other medical necessities, she said for the most part, women are astounded at the options available to them. “There are so many things you can do before surgery, like buying a sleeper camisole and bra that allows spots for drainage tubes so you can skip having surgical tape – which is really painful to take off – on your stomach,” Fiona said. Most importantly, Fiona promises the best service to get you feeling comfortable and confident. “If something is not right, even if you haven’t come to us before, we can help,” she said. For more information, call 604541-1007 or visit the store at 8-2970 King George Blvd.

We are proud to announce that we now offer CoolSculpting®, the revolutionary new body contouring treatment that freezes fat.

able to give a patient their dream smile in a comfortable and caring environment,” Desrosiers said, noting it’s important to have regular dentist visits to prevent any oral care issues. Other important factors when it comes to your pearly whites? Watching out for red flags. At Morgan Creek Dental, Dr. Thomas Tao Zeng and his staff use a VELscope to look out for pre cancer, cancer or other diseases. “It is the responsibility of every dentist to conduct a thorough evaluation of the oral cavity – including hard tissue, like teeth and bone, and soft tissue, like tongue and gums,” Zeng said. The VELscope is particularly important when looking at oral cancer statistics. According to Zeng, the overall five-year survival rate is only 50 to 60 per cent, but can be as high as 80 to 90 per cent when treated early. And to make sure each visit to the dentist is as painless as possible, Morgan Creek Dental offers sedation – an invaluable service for those who feel anxious about dental appointments. “Very few dentists are eligible to offer the kind of sedation we are offering as it requires a high level of training,” Zeng said. And it’s not just teeth anymore. Zeng offers Botox to patients. The injected procedure is a “simple and quick, non-surgical treatment that delivers great, naturallooking results,” Zeng said. While it may seem strange to have Botox done at the same place you have your cavities filled, Zeng explained that it’s actually very convenient as the effects are visible for four to six months and can coincide with regular dental check-ups and cleaning appointments.

Settle the score with stubborn lumps and bumps like mufﬁn tops. Show off the body you’ve always dreamed of.

here’s nothing more in style than a great smile, and that goes for every season. Here on the Peninsula, there are a number of excellent dentists and orthodontist to keep you smiling 365 days a year by using innovative methods and up-to-date technology. Over at White Rock Orthodontic Centre, Dr. Jay Nagamatsu works hard to help patients get the smile they have always wanted. When it comes to braces, technology has come a long way, says Nagamatsu. From clear braces, like Invisalign, to lingual braces that fit on the opposite side of the mouth – towards the tongue – for more discreet options, to smaller, improved versions of the traditional, metal braces. Most importantly, Nagamatsu and his team take the time to find the right choice for each patient. “We look at each patient and come up with the best solution – the one that will get them the smile they want in the quickest and easiest way,” he said. “There are so many options.” And how would you feel knowing you could see the finished product before even putting braces on? “We have software that we use that predicts what their face and smile will look like after their treatment is done,” said Nagamatsu. Anne Desrosiers at Grandview Corners Dental recommends patients look into Snap-On Smile, a easy and painless way to obtain a great smile. Perfect for people with gaps, crooked, stained or missing teeth, the Snap-On Smile is made of hitech dental resin and fits right over your own teeth to give you a beautiful smile. “We pride in having the services avail-

intact and makes hair shinier and softer than before the treatment. As for the day-to-day problems, including the dreaded frizzies – a result of temperature changes, humidity and hats – Chloe suggests using organic products with plant essence based on aloe vera, which will soothen and soften the hair while delivering emollients such as shea butter, without making hair oily and flat. “It silkens and controls frizz, depending on your hair’s needs,” she notes. And just like the rest of your body, your hair depends on water to keep it healthy and happy. “Always drink water and eat healthy foods as it will benefit your hair and skin,” Chloe said. Stephanie Saul at Lumina Hair agreed that one of the biggest concerns with the weather change and your hair is the dryness. “Coming out of summer, hair tends to be drier because of the summer sun and swimming,” Saul said. “Use leave-in oils on the ends of hair, such as Moroccan Oil or Kevin Murphy Young Again.” Saul also suggest using hydrating shampoos and conditioner, like Kevin Murphy Hydrate Me, in combination with leavein curl define products. When it comes to styling your hair for the fall, a popular trend Saul has noticed is braids – whether it’s an accent or a design, the simple hairstyle can help when hair won’t co-operate. Other tips from Saul include trimming dead ends caused by summer damage, then get a deep conditioninging using moisturizing treatment. “Just as you need to increase moisture to skin, you need to increase moisture with your hair,” Saul said.

ith the changes in the season, like your style, it’s important to change the way you take care of your hair to adapt to the season. Whether it’s protecting it from the colder wind, keeping the frizzes at bay during humid evenings or battling hat hair, there are many ways to keep your hairstyle intact during the brisk fall season. Chloe Scarf, owner of Seventh Heaven Bio Salon in Crescent Beach suggests taking the trend of using organic items and applying it to your hair. “We’re seeing a focus on organic, healthy beauty. In all aspects, it’s a natural progression from the choices people have been making with their food and cosmetics for the past few decades and it’s only getting stronger as demand has created many wonderful advancements in the hair and beauty industry,” Chloe said. For those who want to add a pop of colour to their hair, Chloe suggests using organic and low-synthetic colour lines. “They allow for any colour of shade the heart desires and result in shiny, soft, healthy-looking and feeling hair,” she said. “Whether it’s warm brown, platinum blonde or bright red, the days of overprocessed, fried hair are gone.” Advancements make it possible to play with colour, even with proteinbased permanents, while maintaining hair integrity. Natural products are also gentle and do not burn or sting the way traditional dyes do. Products Chloe uses include some that are up to 90 per cent organic plant pigment in colour and “unbleach” made from seaweed, which leaves the cuticle

ust because the hot rays from the summer sun are beginning to fade away, doesn’t mean you should pack up your sunglasses. According to Jill at White Rock Optometry, eyecare should be a concern all year-round. “UV rays are always present, even when the sun is not. You should always wear sunglasses outside. It is ideal if you have a pair of sunglasses for both bright, sunny days and a pair for the low-light overcast days,” she said. Low-light sunglasses are perfect for the fall and winter, Jill notes, adding that the lighter colour of the lens enhances colours, while protecting eyes from UV rays. Rita Herman from Sight for Sore Eyes agrees, summer is not the only time you should be concerned about your eyes. “Summertime is what makes us aware of our eyes, but the truth is that eye care is a year-round responsibility. In fall and winter the sun is lower in the sky, which finds us driving or walking more often while staring almost directly into the sun. Naturally, ultra-violet protection is paramount when doing so, therefore the quality of both your lenses and the protective coatings on those lenses is of utmost importance,” she said. According to Herman, vaccuum-pressure coatings are preferable to those that are sprayed or chemically layered onto the lens because they are more resistant to peeling. She cites recent findings that indicate it’s more beneficial to have the UV coating on both sides of the lens to further protect the retina from bounceback rays off the backside of the lens. “These coatings are clear in color and should be standard on all your glasses, be

they sunglasses or everyday opthalmic,” she said. Other issues that arise from the cooler temperatures are rain and snow, which can diminish visibility and cause glare. “A quality vacuum-applied anti-glare coating will handle bright snow and reflective lights off of raindrops somewhat, but this is where a high calibre tint designed to cut blue spectrum rays without adding to already diminished vision circumstances is best suited. Believe it or not, a correctly-diagnosed tint can actually add to visual clarity in foggy, rainy settings,” Herman said. But it’s not all serious stuff when it comes to eyewear. This season expect bold, big and colorful styles for eyewear, including oversize lenses, flash touches of gold and colour, cat-eye shapes and modified cat-eye, as well as clean, square and rectangular shapes. “Colours vary from bright to early and experiment with a variety of combinations, often to mimic texture,” Herman said, noting the trend is seen in brands like Dita, Theo, Versace, Bvlargi and Prada. “Frame finishes also display a wide range that are metal, acetate, opaque, transparent, pearlize and more.” Even when it comes to opthalmic glasses, the staff at Sight for Sore Eyes has an extensive array of choices. “Our clients have a choice of lenses depending on what is best suited to their prescribed needs as well as to their specific applications,” Herman said. “This means the widest variety of quality digital choices in a broad range of price points, allowing the client to choose what best suits their purposes as well as their pocketbook.”

Alternative methods for a healthy lifestyle A

dvances in alternative therapy have come a long way, especially here on the Peninsula. Dr. Allison Patton, a naturopathic physician at Mountainview Wellness Centre, suggests giving your immune system a boost with two treatments offered at the centre. “Two specific treatments that help support the immune system are our Myers cocktail vitamin shots containing B vitamins, vitamin C, calcium, magnesium and trace minerals and our Saline Ozone (O3) treatments that help fight off infections and keep the immune system in optimal condition,” she said. And as we get back into our daily routine after a relaxing summer break, Patton suggests a natural way to cope with stress. “Excellent herbs to consider during this time of year are Rhodiola or Astragalus. Rhodiola is an adaptogen that allows your body to adapt better to stress. Astragalus is a great herb to activate immune cells for better surveillance against viruses,” she said, noting to always check with a professional before adding anything to your routine. For some, an increase in stress can show on the waistline. At Mountainview Wellness, Patton and her staff offer a Rapid Weight Loss and Reshaping program. For those who wish to know more, the centre has three talks coming up explaining the program – Oct. 4, Nov. 8 or Dec. 5 at 7 p.m. Over at Laser Health Solutions, Dr. Rob Skleryk says the fall and winter season

often brings a variety of soft-tissue injury suffers into the clinic. From acute sprains and strains to chronic repetitive stress injuries and degenerative joint conditions. To help bring relief to pain sufferers, Skleryk uses laser therapy. The monochromatic light emission from low-intensity laser diodes is used to treat musculoskeletal injuries, chronic and degenerative conditions and to heal wounds. The light source is placed in contact with the skin allowing the photon energy to penetrate the tissue, Skleryk explained. “The healing mechanism is not based on the generation of heat but rather on photochemical reactions within the cells. Photon energy interacts with various intracellular biomolecules, transforming light into biochemical energy,” he said. According to Skleryk, the beneficial effect of laser therapy is the promotion of homeostasis. The end result is the restoration of normal cell function and the enhancement of the body’s healing processes. In contrast to many other treatments, laser therapy is curative in action rather than simply modulating pain. For those who are reluctant to come in and try laser therapy, Skleryk explained that there is a thorough consultation period for each patient. “The process begins with the patient meeting with one of our chiropractors. A thorough history and examination will be performed of the area of complaint. During the report of findings, the results will be discussed as well as a recommendation of care,” he said.

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK OCT. 7-14

White Rock Fire Rescue Urges Residents to “Have Two Ways Out!” It’s 3 a.m. You and your family are sound asleep and awake to the beeping smoke alarm. You are tired and confused from the effects of the smoke. You know you need to get to safety, but when you head for the front door, you find that escape route is blocked by fire that is spreading by the second. What do you do? While this scenario is one I hope you never have to encounter, the statistics tell us that many people do every day. According to the nonprofit National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), one

home structure fire was reported every 85 seconds in 2010. That added up to 369,500 home structure fires, which caused 13,350 injuries and 2,640 deaths. We also know that most fatal fires kill one or two people. However, in 2010, 19 home fires killed five or more people, resulting in 101 deaths. The numbers are scary, but there is something you can do to help ensure your family’s safety should a fire break out in your home: Have Two Ways Out! White Rock’s Fire Department is teaming up with NFPA during Fire Prevention Week, October 7-13, 2012, to urge residents to “Have Two Ways Out!” This year’s theme focuses on the importance of fire escape planning and practice. Only one-third of North Americans have both developed and practiced a home fire escape plan.

Although preparing for the unexpected is difficult, reviewing the information below and taking action based on it to plan for a fire could save lives. White Rock Fire Rescue Department recommends the following tips for planning your family’s escape: If you have children and want to make this a family activity • Make a map of your home. Mark a door and a window that can be used to get out of every room. • Choose a meeting place outside in front of your home. This is where everyone can meet once they’ve escaped. Draw a picture of your outside meeting place on your escape plan.

Panago Pizza has teamed up with the White Rock Fire Department to promote fire safety during Fire Prevention Week. Each night during Fire Prevention Week an order being delivered to White Rock, will be randomly selected by Panago to be delivered alongside the White Rock Firefighters.

And of the three-quarters of North Americans who do have an escape plan, less than half actually practiced it. As we saw in the scenario above, fire is unpredictable. Seconds and minutes can mean the difference between life and death. We want to ensure that White Rock residents know what to do if a fire breaks out in their home. Preparation is an important part of being able to deal with an emergency and it is crucial you take steps to prepare your family for the potential of a home fire by having an escape plan and practicing it.

As most Canadians turn back the clocks on November 4, here are some timely smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) safety tips: â&#x20AC;˘ When you change your clocks, test your smoke arlam. â&#x20AC;˘ You have less than three minutes to escape a fire.Â So when smoke alarms sound, everyone must know what to do and where to go.Â Having and practising an escape plan is essential. â&#x20AC;˘ Install one smoke alarm on every storey and outside bedrooms.Â Install inside bedrooms if you sleep with doors closed.Â â&#x20AC;˘ Ensure all smoke alarms are fully powered.Â Never take out batteries or remove an alarm from ceiling due to a false alarm. â&#x20AC;˘ If your home has any fuel-burning devices such as a gas furnace, gas water heater, gas appliances, or an attached garage or carport, install at least one CSAapproved carbon monoxide outside all sleeping areas.Â One per storey is recommended.

â&#x20AC;˘ Replace smoke alarms every 10 years, and CO alarms every 7-10 years (depending on manufacturer) whether battery operated or hardwired into your homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s electrical system. Carbon monoxide is colourless, odourless and tasteless.Â So without a CO alarm, humans cannot detect its presence.Â Despite the average home having several potential sources of the deadly gas, studies show that nearly 60 per cent of Canadians have not installed a CO alarm.Â In addition to being impossible to detect, CO also has another nefarious trait. Symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure mimic the flu, without the fever.Â It is routinely responsible for thousands of clinic and hospital visits each year, and is commonly misdiagnosed.Â Prolonged or extreme exposure causes nausea, dizziness, confusion, the loss of physical mobility, brain damage and ultimately, death.Â More home safety resources can be found on the www. safeathome.ca web site.

Analysis was undertaken on almost 50,000 fires that occurred in Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario over a 5-year period involving 663 fatalities. The findings demonstrated that the death rate per 1,000 fires in the absence of a present, functioning smoke alarm was 74% greater than when a functioning smoke alarm was present.

Thanksgiving turkey fires cause for concern at 9-1-1 centre E -Commâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fire dispatch team is warning families to be mindful of their turkey cookingÂ during Thanksgiving weekend.Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;A turkey isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t something you typically see on a list of household fire hazards, but we get 9-1-1 calls about ovens going up in flames all the time,â&#x20AC;? says Corey Kelso, E-Comm fire dispatcher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The result can be devastating if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not careful every time you have something cooking for an extended period of time.â&#x20AC;?

E-Comm has received some odd calls to 9-1-1 before â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including someone wanting to know how long to cook a turkey â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but a turkey fire is no joke. In fact, it is a leading cause of spikes in 9-1-1 calls over the holidays. Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;A flame in your oven can start easily and escalate quickly,â&#x20AC;? says Kelso. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oil drippings through a thin tinfoil turkey pan or bits of leftover food residue inside your oven are extremely flammable in a high temperature setting.â&#x20AC;?

Investigations into home fire deaths very often find that a smoke alarm did not sound. It may have been disconnected or not in working order. The batteries may have been dead, or someone may have taken them out. Smoke alone wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily wake you up. In fact, the fumes could put you into an even deeper sleep. Often, victims never wake up.Â Se-

niors will often need assistance from family members to put safety measures into place. As well, family members are in the best position to reinforce the precautions necessary to help their loved ones prevent or respond to a fire. Focus on these six priorities to help aging family members protect themselves against fire in the home.

â&#x2013; INSTALL smoke alarms inside every bedroom, outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement. â&#x2013; Larger homes may need ADDITIONAL smoke alarms to provide enough protection. â&#x2013; For the best protection, INTERCONNECT all smoke alarms so when one sounds they all sound. â&#x2013; An IONIZATION smoke alarm is generally more responsive to flaming fires and a PHOTOELECTRIC smoke alarm is generally more responsive to smoldering fires. For the best protection, both types of alarms or combination ionization and photoelectric alarms (also known as dual sensor alarms) are recommended. â&#x2013; Smoke alarms should be INSTALLED away from the kitchen to prevent false alarms. Generally, they should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from a cooking appliance. â&#x2013; REPLACE all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Pianist brings ‘boogie woogie’ to Peninsula

Have piano, will travel Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

here’s something about the irresistibly rhythmic sound of boogie woogie and stride piano that makes people sit up and take notice - particularly when the hands on the ivories belong to a master. South Surrey resident Dominik Heins may be Hamburg born and raised, but the gentlemanly musician seems to have the music of North America from the early 1900s to the mid-1950s – the exciting era of ragtime, jazz, blues and boogie – in his fingertips. So unwilling is he to compromise that sound that he shuns electronic keyboards. Wherever possible, he travels with his own portable upright, which, while small enough to fit in a van, has a full 88 keys. Like the old-time piano ‘professors,’ whose elegance he admires, Heins, 36, exudes class, from stylish suits and two-tone shoes to a courtly, old-world manner. But it’s when he sits down to play – and sometimes croon, a la Sinatra and Connick – that he really commands attention. Whether it’s in appearances busking by the Whaling Wall, playing for diners at Slainte by the Pier or leading his own trio around the Lower Mainland, Heins never fails to impress (full disclosure: he’ll also be adding his piano expertise to this writer’s vocals on some classic tunes from the 1920s and 30s, Wednesday, Oct. 10, 7 p.m. at Beecher Street Cafe in Crescent Beach).

South Surrey pianist Dominik Heins plays during a recent Farmers’ Market in White Rock. For little children who stop to gaze, captivated, or twirl in impromptu dance steps, to seniors – some of whom even remember the music from the first or second time around – Heins is manifestly “the real thing.” It’s not just technique and speed – hard won through decades of practice – it’s also the feel for the material he provides. Pop hits like Hoagy Carmichael’s Georgia On My Mind, Louis Prima’s Buona Sera, Signorina and the Andrews Sisters’ hit Bei Mir Bist Du

Schoen (taken at breakneck tempo) may be guaranteed crowd pleasers, but he can also reproduce the Maple Leaf Rag and St. Louis Blues as Scott Joplin and W.C. Handy wrote them. And if a train is approaching the venue, Heins’ dry sense of humour may come to the fore, with an impromptu version of Meade Lux Lewis’ Honky Tonk Train Blues. Heins’ mastery of such earlier music, he acknowledges, began with rock ‘n’ roll. He started gigging in the early

’90s while still in high school – playing in the Star Club of Beatles fame, as a keyboardist with the same semi-professional band that used to open for the Liverpudlians during their appearances there some 30 years earlier. At that time, his ‘party pieces’ were more likely to be homages to Jerry Lee Lewis. “The first musical influences I can think of were classical music, from my father,” Heins says. “But after that it was Jerry Lee, Chuck Berry, Eddie Cochran, Bill Haley and, a

little later, Elvis Presley. Rock n’ roll and boogie are very close. They really relate to one another.” And cosmopolitan Hamburg is a great incubator for eight-to-the-bar musicians, he notes. “There’s a huge boogiewoogie scene there. It started in the early `70s through guys who rediscovered the music from old shellac records. Axel Zwingenberger is the top guy. He actually recorded with some of the old boogie woogie guys who were still around in the ’70s.” Heins’ mother died when he was very young, but he’s always had strong support from his father, who is also a keen pianist. “He always said ‘if it makes you happy, go for it,’” Heins says. “He’s like a hippy, still.” Heins also had a great business partner in his wife, Nina (“We were high school sweethearts,” he notes, proudly), who is always there to provide moral support and sell copies of the four CDs he recorded in Europe. Unlike the average student, Heins didn’t have to be threatened to put in time practising when he was young – instead he had to be told it was time to quit. “After school, when I went home, I was usually on the piano six or seven hours,” he admitted. It was a natural progression for him to do post-secondary jazz studies at the Amsterdam Conservatory’s Hilversum campus, but, ironically, he found the program focused on ‘modern jazz’ rather than earlier artists . “I was interested in Teddy Wilson and Fats Waller – these were the guys I took as role models. It was really hard to say (to the teachers) ‘I want to play like Fats Waller.’ They could appreciate it, but they said ‘that is not the music you’re here for.’” Luckily for everyone, Heins has not been held back since – following his musical ambitions in every context from solo (featured in his CD 350 Degrees) to big band (featured in his CD My Personal Soul), and ultimately making the big step to North America in 2008. After a three-year stint in Ottawa, he and Nina moved to the Semiahmoo Peninsula a little over a year ago – “Something about being near the sea drew us here.” For more information about Heins’ performances, visit www. dominikheins.com

Do the math: School energy savings = reduced emissions! We’re committed. Surrey Schools is proud to be a Top 10 BC Hydro Power Smart Partner

Contributed photo

Dear Rouge members Drew and Danielle McTaggart join forces with the Jacobson family of South Surrey – Cruise, Tonia and Noah.

The nine schools in the first phase of the program will reduce carbon tonne emissions by more than 25 per cent!

Pop duo Dear Rouge releases song to help family

Lullaby aims to raise funds Kelsey Klassen Black Press

Pop/Rock duo Dear Rouge had written and recorded a lullaby as an encouragement to their friends, the Jacobsen family of South Surrey. The song’s chorus “Let love lead us” became powerful lyrics in carrying the family through days filled with therapists for autistic son Noah and mounting bills. But the song took on a deeper meaning when Noah’s father,

Kevin, was killed in a workrelated logging accident in June. The song has so much meaning to Noah’s mother, Tonia, that it was used at Kevin’s funeral service. Last month, Dear Rouge posted a video on Youtube (Youtu.be/ Si46j7S8T9Y) which tells the story behind Noah’s Song. Along with the video, the band released the song as a ‘pay what you want’ download, where 100 per cent of the sales go to support

The Surrey School District is committed to continuous improvement and optimization. The 27 largest schools and the new District Education Centre are enrolled in a Continuous Optimization Program, a three-phase series of building energy tune-ups taking place over several years.

Noah’s autism therapy. Their goal is to raise $60,000, which would cover therapy costs for one year. The track is available for download at DearRouge.bandcamp. com In addition to the song, Dear Rouge raised money for the Centre for Child Development a charity dinner Tuesday at the Washington Avenue Grill in White Rock, and has a charity concert scheduled for Oct. 20 at the Electric Owl in Vancouver.

This and other infrastructure improvements, system upgrades and behavioural changes will save the district more than 20 million kilowatt hours of energy over five years.

That’s enough to power more than 1,800 homes in Surrey for a full year!

Society gifts Surrey $250K Alex Browne Arts Reporter

A new arts space planned for South Surrey will receive extra enhancement, thanks to a contribution from the South Surrey and White Rock Arts Society. Members of the society, including president Sandra Wagstaff, were on hand at Monday’s Surrey council meeting to present Mayor Dianne Watts and the rest of council with a $250,000 cheque toward the project, currently in the design phase, which will be part of an expansion of the South Surrey Recreation Centre planned for 2013. The society will also be putting its best foot forward this weekend – 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Saturday and Sunday – at Elgin Hall, in a show and sale of the wide variety of work created by members. Also attending the council presentation was SSWRAS member Sheila Symington, one of the founders of the White Rock Summer School of the Arts, in recognition of the major contribution made by the school to the society’s gift. Other members also “raised funds over the years, including bake sales, raffles and casino nights,” according to Wagstaff. A July agreement with the city ensuring SSWRAS participation in the new arts space marks a tangible step toward achieving a long-term ambition, Wagstaff said.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Josh Lauriente prepares for second career bout

From the rink into the ring Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

tep foot into any Canadian city, and it’s not exactly a challenge to find a young athlete bent on being the next Gretzky, Crosby or Roy. But try finding the youngster who wants to be the next Tyson, Holyfield of Klitschko. Not nearly as easy. Unless, of course, you happen to run into South Surrey’s Josh Lauriente, an 11-year-old athlete who gave up a spot on a rep-level hockey team a year ago to focus on the sweet science. Such a decision – giving up a sport many Canadians consider borderline religion to instead focus on what Josh’s father, Spencer, admits is “kind of a fringe sport these days” – came surprisingly easy for the young Crescent Park area resident, who began playing hockey at age six. “He was really into hockey – he loved it – but then one day I took him to the gym with me, and that was it,” Spencer explained. That gym was the Port Kells Boxing Club, a small, dark North Surrey facility in the basement of the Port Kells Community Hall with walls papered with old fight posters. “A real Rocky-type gym,” Spencer calls the place where Al Harper, a family friend of the Lauriente’s, trains aspiring boxers. The first time Josh stepped into the ring to learn the sport, he

was hooked. He didn’t even mind those first jabs from a sparring partner – not even the ones that hit him in the face. “Nope, getting hit didn’t bother me at all – and you get to hit back,” he said. “I just really love the sport, and I have a passion for it.” And Josh hasn’t completely given up hockey, either. He still plays at the peewee house-level with Semiahmoo Minor Hockey, which is less of a commitment, and allows him to train four days a week in Port Kells with Harper. “I decided to still do both, and it’s lots of fun, because I’m a pretty good player, so I score lots of goals,” Josh said, with a smile. Though he discovered his love of boxing Contributed photo on his own, the sport does have roots in his family. His great-grandfather was a professional boxer, and Spencer even spent time as a local boxing promoter after first befriending Harper a few years ago. The sport may even grow further in the Lauriente household. While his older brother, Ty, plays other sports, Josh – the middle child – says his younger brother, six-yearold Evan, already tells people he is going to be a boxer one day, too. “It’s a sport that’s been in our family for a few generations,” Spencer said. “It’s in our blood.” › see page A45

Wrestling, volleyball on tap Volleyball

Sports-minded Semiahmoo Peninsula residents looking for something to do Friday will have a pair of very different options to choose from. The White Rock Elks Hall will host All-Star Wrestling’s debut show in the city, and will feature many faces and names familiar to fans who’ve caught the act around the Lower Mainland before – plus a few new talents, promised wrestler/ organizer Bryon

Contributed photo

All-Star Wrestling comes to the Elks Hall Friday. Walters. pm., and tickets are $12 Two championship at the door. belts will also be on the The White Rock Elks line, he added. Hall is located at 1469 The event begins at 7 George St.

If wrasslin’ isn’t your thing, university volleyball is just a few minutes up the road. Also Friday, at 7 p.m., Earl Marriott Secondary will host Trinity Western University’s men’s volleyball team as they hit the court against visiting Thompson Rivers University Wolfpack, from Kamloops. Doors open at 6 p.m. Cost is $5 for adults, and $2 for students.

Lauriente to box Friday in Langley › from page A45 And while many of his friends play hockey, baseball or soccer, Josh – who says most of his classmates think it’s “pretty cool” that he boxes – has always been drawn to other sports. “He was in karate for two years, but karate is a lot of (forms) and things like that. Josh just kept saying ‘When do I compete? When do I compete?’ That’s why boxing is good for him, I think,” his dad said. And while boxing offers the pint-sized pugilist a chance to step into the ring, finding a suitable opponent is often

difficult. “It’s tough to find 11-yearolds, especially ones who are his size – anywhere from 85 to 88 pounds,” Spencer explained. Josh had his first bout in June at Langley’s Cascades Casino, part of the Clash at the Cascades card. He went toe-to-toe with one of his frequent sparring partners, who had two years and 20 pounds on him. As per boxing regulations for fighters as young as Josh, win/ lose decisions are not made for an individual’s first three fights, lest newcomers to the sport be

discouraged by a tough loss. Still, though it was a called a draw, Josh more than held his own, his dad said. “Oh, he knew he won it.” Friday, again at the Cascades Casino, Josh will step into the ring for his second career fight. And no matter how the bout goes, two things are certain: it will be officially marked as a draw, and after it’s over, Josh will reward himself for his extensive training and commitment to fitness. “Afterwards, we’re going to Marble Slab for ice cream,” he said.

Dentures only considered for temporary use

Extensive bone loss experienced by denture wearers account for most of the issues. With increasing bone loss, often as soon as a year into complete tooth loss, the denture has to be made taller and more bulky in order to provide the required esthetics. This results in a movement of 10 mm or more in every direction. The net effect is a very unstable denture where food can slip under the surface and hurt the underlying gums. The movement causes further bone loss and the vicious cycle continues. In the upper jaw , the denture is made to cover the roof of the mouth. This is a way of achieving some degree of suction to retain the prosthesis but the wearer pays the price of having 70 % of his / her taste buds covered and the gum tissue is strangled all day long with very little oxygen exchange through its surface.

Poor nutrition due to inability to chew efficiently, Associated hypertension due to decreased sensitivity of taste buds leading to an increased intake of salt and spices. The fortunate thing is that we now have very simple solutions to correct all that. It is still a significant financial investment but far more affordable than perceived.

Bud Beliveau throws three touchdown passes

World Teachers’ Day

Flag Titans pass to big win Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

The White Rock-South Surrey Titans took to the air en route to a flag-division victory Sunday over the Coquitlam Crushers. The Titans edged the host Crushers 12-9, and three of the White Rock touchdowns came on passes – a rarity in the flagdivision games. “It’s virtually unheard of. It was quite a game,” said Titans’ flagdivision coach Dave Reiffer. The Titans opened the scoring when quarterback Bud Beliveau connected on a pass to Marley Reiffer-Rodriguez, and after Coquitlam tied the game with a TD of their own, Beliveau and Reiffer-Rodriguez connected again for their second score of the day, to restore the lead. The duo added a third passing touchdown in the second half, and Reiffer-Rodriguez rounded out the scorn with his fourth touchdown of the day, this time on a running play. Defensively, the Titans – now 4-1 on the season – got strong performances from Brayden Hooper – also the team’s kicker – and Maxwell Chakrabarti. The Titans’ midget team also added a win to their record, with a one-point 18-17 win over the North Delta Longhorns Sunday afternoon at Delta’s John Oliver

White Rock’s Balsher Randhawa runs for a touchdown in a peewee game in Langley. Park. The Titans, the reigning provincial champions, and Longhorns played to a scoreless draw through the first quarter, and the team’s traded secondquarter TDs, though the Titans trailed by one at halftime after their conversion attempt was blocked. Early in the second half, Delta capped a 12-play drive with a 32-yard touchdown run, and in the final quarter added a field goal to increase the lead to 11

points. With three minutes remaining in the game, Titans quarterback Zack Skene scored on a 19-yard run. The two-point conversion failed, leaving the score 17-12, but a successful onside kick from Peter Kilberg was scooped up and run in for a touchdown by Willie Watson. The Longhorns, down by one point, tried to mount a late comeback, but a quarterback sack from White Rock’s Jesse Lawson ended the game. Defensively, Bobby Devaney had an interception for the Titans, while Jake Hurst, Harrison Allen and Travis McDonald also made a number of big plays. The atom-division Titans were also in action last weekend, falling 30-18 to the Langley Broncos at McLeod Park, while White Rock’s peewee squad also lost its road game, 30-14 to the Cloverdale Lynx. The Titans junior-bantam squad had a bye week. In the atom contest, White Rock’s two touchdowns came from Dylan Gemekas, who scored on a one-yard run, and Ethan Webster, who had a nineyard TD run late in the first half. In the peewee tilt, Balsher Randhawa scored on a long TD run.

Over 70% of Canadian homes are underinsured. And, of these homes, 70% are underinsured by at least 30%. This is a major problem.

FOSTER/SOCIAL CARE

ROBERTSON, James (Jim) Kenneth Mar 12, 1927 - Sept 30, 2012 “People lie, steal and cheat and life isn’t fair” This was his credo as he passed peacefully on Sunday, proving correct that life really isn’t fair because he left us too soon. He is survived by his loving wife of 61 years Joan, 4 children, 8 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. Known as “Gentleman Jim”, his sense of humour endeared him to all. Kindness and generosity were traits that shone throughout his life. The family is deeply indebted to Evergreen Baptist Care Home (D3) for the compassionate and tender care they provided.

I lived a wonderful life. Born in Ireland, one of the youngest of 19 children. I was surrounded by love. At 24 I left my homeland for Canada where I met my bride Mary in Toronto and we were soon blessed with 3 children. Stephen is survived by his children Maureen Mohan, Michael Ireland, Teresa Ankenman, Spouses and Children. We then settled out west and enjoyed the best years of our lives. Being a risk taker served me well in construction and land development. We were grateful to see our children well established in their lives. After Mary’s passing in 1993 I enjoyed many years of daily golf (not to mention 6 hole in ones), cheering the Canucks, and time spent with cherished family and friends. Throughout life’s hardships my faith and optimism always gave me the strength to endure. Stephen’s Funeral Mass was held at Star of The Sea Parish on Monday Oct. 1, 2012. A Christian Burial took place a Gardens of Gethsemani. You are invited to leave a fond memory or message of condolence at the family’s on-line obituary at www.myalternatives.ca. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Alzheimer’s Society of BC.

POVALYAEVA, Lyudmila Nov. 4, 1961 - Sept. 30, 2012

It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of our beautiful Lyudmila, beloved wife to Igor, adored mother to Ilya and Dima and dear friend to many in Russia, Ukraine, Ghana, Vancouver & White Rock. With her family constantly by her side during her two week stay in Peace Arch Hospital; Lyuda surrendered her body after a yearlong and bravely fought battle with cancer. Her indomitable spirit will live on in those she loved. Lyuda was born in Dubrovka, Russia, Bryansk Region and is predeceased by her mother Klaudia and father Mikhail. Lyuda received a Master’s Degree in Pharmaceutical Chemistry in St. Petersburg, USSR followed by a Dental Technology Diploma in Vancouver in 2004. In a true story of love at first sight; Lyuda and her beloved Igor were married on October 24, 1987, following a very short courtship. Their first son, Ilya was born in Kharkiv, USSR on their first wedding anniversary - October 24, 1988 followed by Dima in Kharkiv, Ukraine on February 18, 1994. The Povalyaev family immigrated to Vancouver June 9, 1996 then moved to White Rock on July 1, 1999 where their sons attended Jessie Lee Elementary School and graduated from Earl Marriott Secondary School. Lyuda and Igor travelled extensively during the last decade and Lyuda was especially fond of Venice, Italy. She loved all that nature had to offer, enjoying long walks with her husband and scouting out nurseries with both Igor and her friend Kate. In the last few years, Dahlias became her passion and thrived in her garden. We hope she is walking in fields and fields of them now. There will be a Celebration of Lyuda’s Life and Spirit October 20th, 2012 at 11:00 am, Chateau Cargill, 3550 King George Blvd Surrey, BC V4P 1B5 All ﬂowers gratefully accepted.

Since opening Romancing the Home in Ocean Park Village 8 years ago I’ve learned that marketing is a key component to establishing a successful business. Peace Arch News has provided the vehicle to promote my business. Working with Peace Arch News has always been a positive experience. They support small businesses like myself & keep me informed about special promotions that work with my business, such as Indulge Magazine, Woman in Business & the monthly Ocean Park Village pages. My sales rep is in regular contact keeping me up to date with what’s available to help promote my business. She provides great service and is an integral part of my marketing team. Romancing the Home is involved with Ocean Park Village community events which are a good ﬁt with the Peace Arch Newspaper as they’re very focused & committed to community events & small businesses. As the Ocean Park Business Association President I work closely with Kathi Nicholson the OPBA vice president & coincidently my PAN Rep! I look forward to working with Peace Arch News promoting “Christmas in Ocean Park Village” this November, along with two new events, “Ocean Park Village Christmas Market” & “Ocean Park Village Summer Festival” next July. I rely on the talents & professional manner of the Peace Arch News team. I support them & look forward to a long & successful business relationship with the Peace Arch News.

Convenience and elegance in Pitt Meadows

A taste of boutique style at Liv42 Kerkhoff Construction is bringing a sense of community to Pitt Meadows with its newest development, Liv42. With 42 condominium homes in the project, Liv42 feels like a close-knit community. Spacious floorplans and modern features such as stainlesssteel appliances and elegant laminate flooring make your new home beautiful as well as functional. “Efficient floorplans create an affordable price point without losing quality and finishing,” says Darryl Price, vice-president of The Agency Real Estate Marketing. Nine-foot ceilings (10 feet in the living areas on the top floor) add to

the spacious feel. The composite stone slab countertops in the kitchen are beautifully complemented by a polished porcelain-tile backsplash and flat panel wood veneer or Shaker-style cabinetry. The eating bar is perfect for people who don’t have time to sit down to a meal. Liv42 is just a few blocks from the West Coast Express and minutes from Lougheed Highway. There is also shopping, dining, recreation and schools, all conveniently located right in the neighbourhood. Homes start at $136,900, with twobedroom units at $199,900. For more information, visit www.liv42.ca or call 604-460-6601.

Woolley says. “On weekends, cars stay in the parkade,” he says. “It’s very easy for people to walk around to get whatever they need.” If that’s some groceries, Thrifty Foods is on-site. If you’re looking for a workout, the Steve Nash Sports Club is available, or you can head out for a walk or run around the neighbourhood. Retail therapy is also nearby, whether you’re looking for some bargains at Winners or are in the mood to splurge on some delicious

treats at Mink A Chocolate Cafe or Menchies Frozen Yogurt. “There’s just about everything you need here,” Woolley says. There are even medical and dental offices in Morgan Crossing, along with a Flight Centre and hair salons. “It gives them time back,” Woolley says of the buyers at Morgan Crossing. “It’s a really nice place to live.” Lofts at the Summit House start at $279,900.

Giving you some time back at Morgan Crossing

Living the artistic life at the lofts at The Summit House by Kerry Vital

The Summit House is bringing a touch of loft style to South Surrey’s Morgan Crossing. With all the beautiful features of the other Summit House homes as well as some new details of their own, these limited-edition lofts are a cut above the rest. “These aren’t typical condos,” says Bryan Woolley, president of Fingerprint Strategies Inc. “They’re not cookiecutter at all.” Built by Larco Investments, the two-bedroom homes feature the master bedroom and living areas on the first floor with a loft on the second floor that can be used for a bedroom, media room, library, art studio or a romantic retreat. The spacious layouts are open and inviting, and feature plenty of room for entertaining or relaxing. The homes range from 1,026 to 1,261 square feet, and include huge windows to allow in plenty of natural light. “These are the only lofts available in South Surrey,” says Woolley. “There’s been a lot of interest in these great floorplans.” In fact, nearly half of the 13 lofts have already been sold. Some of the beautiful features in the lofts include gas cooktops, soft-close cabinetry in the kitchen and incredibly high ceilings at almost 22 feet. Gorgeous hardwood laminate floors are included throughout the main living areas, while the bedrooms feature carpeting that is perfect for sinking your toes into. Electric fireplaces are cozy and inviting, while the large outdoor patios and balconies give you your own outdoor space. The cabinetry and gas cooktop aren’t the only great things about the kitchens. The 1 3/4-inch quartz countertops and glass or ceramic tile backsplash are chic and modern, while the stainless-steel appliances are a gourmet’s dream. Homeowners at The Summit House are able to take advantage of some pretty lovely amenities, including a private rooftop plaza that features a community garden, barbecue and fire pit. However, one of the best features at The Summit House is the amazing mountain views from many of the suites. They have proven inspirational in many ways. “The lofts have been attracting artists and other creative types,” says Woolley. The Morgan Crossing village has

been the biggest draw to the homes, Woolley says. With tons of shopping, eateries and leisure activities in the area, there is never a shortage of things to do. “It’s so convenient,” he says, adding “it feels like a real community.” Even dogs will find their perfect place in Morgan Crossing, with its Paws Crossing dog park. The village is perfect for those looking to meet people. Larco regularly holds community events, including hockey tournaments and fashion shows. “There is a very eclectic mix of owners,” says Woolley. The range of demographics include a 19-year-old who bought the place on his own to a 92-year-old who enjoys the vibrant atmosphere of Morgan Crossing. The convenience factor is really an integral part of the community,

“

These are the only lofts available in South Surrey,” says Bryan Woolley, president of Fingerprint Strategies.
