Search goes on after brutal attack on Surrey senior ▶ FORENSIC EXPERTS ARE FASTTRACKING ANALYSIS OF EVIDENCE SEIZED FROM SCENE TRACY HOLMES

With the accused in the barbaric assault of a senior in South Surrey still at large, forensic experts are expediting analysis of evidence seized from the scene in the hopes of identifying and locating the man responsible.

“I understand the lab has given priority to this investigation, because it’s a stranger sex assault,” Surrey RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann told Black Press last Wednesday. “So they’re analyzing the evidence quicker than what would normally be the turnaround time (on

such tests).”

The evidence was seized Aug. 12, after a 70-year-old woman was attacked in her 28 Avenue home in the Grandview neighbourhood.

A man who entered the home with a weapon around noon restrained the woman, then assaulted her when she couldn’t comply with demands for cash and other items.

After he left, the victim was able to free herself and flee to a neighbour’s for help, calling police just before 2 p.m.

Police flooded the area in an effort to locate the intruder, to no avail. A safety warning was issued hours later – after details of what was initially reported as an “interrupted break-and-enter” came to light – followed by the release of photos of the suspect obtained

from a bank machine near 200 Street and 40 Avenue.

Schumann said none of the public’s tips received so far have led to the suspect’s identity.

Last week, the victim and her husband expressed appreciation for the emergency crews’ response, and the support they have received. The couple said they are determined not to let the crime change their lives.

Police have also reached out to neighbouring residents, through a meeting held Friday at an area school.

Hosted by police and crime-prevention officials, it was attended by more than 65 people, including several of the victim’s immediate neighbours, Schumann said. It was intended to provide emotional support, as well as an opportunity to field questions and provide

tips on personal and home security.

A similar meeting following last month’s murder of Cloverdale real estate agent Colin Hill was “very successful,” Schumann said.

“People really appreciated the fact that police were there after the fact answering their questions and just reassuring them.”

He said such a meeting is particularly important “when a suspect is still at loose.”

“People are very concerned about their safety, about how this can happen in our neighbourhood, what are the police doing.”

Schumann noted a tremendous amount of police work can’t be disclosed to protect the integrity of the investigation.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

SPCA advises charges in Cloverdale animal case ▼ MANY OF THE SEIZED DOGS AND CATS HAVE BEEN ADOPTED OUT AND THE HORSES WILL MEET POTENTIAL NEW FAMILIES WHEN HEALTHY TRACY HOLMES

Charges of animal cruelty will be recommended in connection with the seizure this month of 57 animals from a South Cloverdale property.

SPCA senior animal protection officer Eileen Drever confirmed charges against one woman under both the Criminal Code and the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act are expected to be forwarded to Crown counsel this week.

Aug. 11, BC SPCA officials investigating a complaint of animals in distress seized 35 dogs, 16 horses and six cats from a “disgusting” situation of neglect; in conditions that kept them without proper access to water, food or shelter.

The animals were in various states of

malnutrition, and the horses’ hooves were “grossly overgrown.”

Drever told Black Press that officials had immediately sought a warrant to access the property when the complaint came in – instead of posting a notice requesting an appointment inspection – due to familiarity with the woman.

“We’ve known this individual for 20 years,” Drever said.

In the past, investigators have arrived for appointments at various properties of concern to find the animals in question had been removed.

“We didn’t even knock on her door,” Drever said.

“We just applied for a warrant right away, and this is what we found.”

In addition to seizing 57 animals, the SPCA issued orders to address the conditions of approximately 15 other horses that were in less-severe states of distress. The owner was ordered to call in a veterinarian and a farrier, provide food and water, and clear the property of any hazards.

SPCA Animal Protection Officer Leanne Thomson stands with a pony – one of 16 horses and 57 seized Aug. 11.

Drever said a follow-up visit one week later confirmed those orders have been complied with, however, monitoring will continue.

Drever expressed appreciation for the outpouring of support that has been seen since news of the seizure broke.

“We’ve had an overwhelming response,” Drever said. “We’ve had people offering to foster and to adopt and to donate and to volunteer. It’s been amazing.”

Drever said some of the dogs and cats have already been adopted out. Once the horses are healthy enough, their profiles will be posted to spca.bc.ca and an open house will be arranged, where potential adoptive families will be able to meet them and submit an adoption application and sealed bid.

“They may not necessarily go to the highest bidder, but it will be the best home,” she said.

Drever noted the interest and support from the public – the SPCA estimated the cost of treating the animals to be $20,000 and more than $40,000 has been donated – is appreciated in more ways than one. It also helps staff come to terms with the traumatic experience of finding animals in such poor shape.

“If you could just thank everybody… It’s very heartwarming.”

Three men are in custody after a shooting in Newton on the weekend.

At just after 8:30 p.m. Saturday, Surrey RCMP received a call of shots fired between two speeding vehicles in the 12800-block of 74 Avenue, and at 72 Avenue at 130 Street.

Witnesses described the vehicles involved as a black Ford Mustang and a silver Honda Civic.

al, police found the Mustang and arrested the three occupants.

Police also seized the vehicle which appeared to have a bullet hole in it.

There is no indication at this point that anyone has been injured as a result of the incident.

Witnesses say that just prior to the gun violence, there had been a verbal altercation between the occupants of these vehicles. Police say it is unknown at this time if the motive was anything more than that.

Police do not believe the shootings are part of a series of gun incidents between two rival drug groups.

Man, child pepper sprayed in Newton

Victim survives stabbing

A man and child landed in hospital last week after being pepper sprayed at the Newton Bus Exchange.

On Thursday (Aug. 20) at about 2 a.m., police were called to 137 Street and 72 Avenue after a report of the attack.

Three men were arrested and police believe the attack may have been random.

It’s not believed the victims and the attackers knew each other, or that it was an attempted robbery, but the motive is unclear.

The area of the Newton Bus Exchange has long been a hotbed of criminal activity. Less than two years ago, a Surrey hockey mom was beaten to death outside the ice rink, about 100 metres away from the bus exchange.

Since then, the community has been fighting for better police protection in the area.

A man is now expected to survive after being stabbed several times in Whalley earlier this month.

At 2:15 p.m. on Aug. 14, police responded to a complaint of a stabbing and another assault at 144 Street and 107A Avenue, at the entrance to Hawthorne Park.

They found one man with injuries consistent with being hit with a blunt instrument and another who had been stabbed several times in the torso.

The stabbing victim was taken to hospital in critical condition, but has been stabilized and was expected to be released as of Monday.

The man who was struck suffered only minor injuries.

Police were following a lengthy blood trail, indicating the man was stabbed somewhere else.

Election 2015: Politicians pitch to parents ed by promising a modified version that would phase out the benefit for high-income families and increase payments for the rest.

Building into its calculations a proposed income tax cut for middle and low-income people, the party estimates a two-parent family with an income of $90,0000 and two children would receive $490 a month tax free, compared to the Conservative program of $275 a month after taxes.

The Liberals calculate that a single parent with $30,000 income and one child would receive $533 a month, up from $440 under Conservative child benefit and tax rules.

NDP leader Thomas Mulcair has offered to retain the Conservative payments and

▶ FIRST IN A SERIES OF ARTICLES COMPARING THE ELECTION PLATFORMS OF THE MAIN FEDERAL PARTIES TOM FLETCHER

Parents are spending the money and feeling the love like never before from parties contesting the Oct. 19 federal election.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper expanded his favoured approach of direct payments, increasing the Conservative government’s child care benefit plan that has been compared to the former Family Allowance.

The increase was set up to produce bonus cheques to eligible parents in July, retroactive to the start of the year.

Payments went up from $100 to $160 a month for each child under six, with a new $60 payment for those aged seven to 17, payable to families regardless of income or method of child care.

Liberal leader Justin Trudeau respond-

expand Quebec’s subsidized daycare program across the country, with a maximum payment of $15 a day and a long-term goal of creating one million new spaces across the country.

Mulcair has said the Quebec program allowed 70,000 mothers to return to the workforce, and the NDP program would be available to private daycare operators as long as they are independent and not “big box” operations.

Green Party leader Elizabeth May is also offering a universal federally-funded child care program, including support for workplace daycare through a direct tax credit to employers of $1,500 a year.

The Green Party also wants to appoint a national children’s commissioner to advise government on policy.

Conservative leader Stephen Harper has promised an expanded tax break for hiring apprentices.

Campaigning in Laval, Quebec, Harper announced that if his government is re-elected Oct. 19, employers will receive a credit up to $2,500 a year for wages paid to qualifying apprentices for all four years of their training. Harper’s Conservatives established the program in 2006, with a credit of up to $2,000 per year for the first two years, to encourage hiring and training.

NDP leader Thomas Mulcair has begun his campaign emphasizing signs of weakness in the Canadian economy, with the latest statistics showing the economy contracting in the first five months of the year.

“Wages are falling, incomes are stagnant, and household debt is skyrocketing,” Mulcair said at his campaign kickoff. “Middle-class families are working harder than ever, and can’t get ahead.”

Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has also focused his campaign on middle-class voters, with a central policy of reducing tax on middle income and increasing it for the top one per cent of income earners.

Green party leader Elizabeth May’s economic platform also calls for tax increases for the highest income earners, as well as increasing corporate income tax rates to 2008 levels.

The early election call increases spending limits for parties and caps it for third-party advertisers such as labour unions that have been targeting Harper. It also leaves some ridings without nominated candidates.

VIEWPOINT

The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Wednesday August 26 2015

Focus on safety We cannot live in fear – but we must be mindful of safety.

The recent case of a 70-year-old woman who was confronted – and then assaulted – by an intruder in her South Surrey home is a disturbing reminder that, while we should not allow ourselves to be paralyzed by anxiety, we need to exercise vigilance.

The woman in question has shown admirable courage and resilience following an ordeal that we wouldn’t wish on anyone.

No doubt the support of her husband and family – and the understanding and consideration of police, fire and medical personnel – have been vital to her determination to recover and move on from the horrific incident.

Her husband has also said that they are taking steps to increase security at their 28 Avenue home, acknowledging they were “complacent” after

eight years in the neighbourhood. In the past, he said, they didn’t even bother locking their doors.

Historically, anyone could be forgiven for such “complacence.”

Sickening intrusions into personal space are unimaginable for most Surrey residents. But while this has been – generally – considered a safe area, it’s evident that we can’t count on that any more.

It’s natural, too, that an incident of this kind triggers public anger. A lot of it, rightfully, is directed at the criminal who perpetrated this act. Some of it, inevitably, is directed at Surrey RCMP, which some residents feel haven’t been taking break-and-enter incidents in the area seriously enough.

It is also evident that police continue to operate with

RAESIDE

limited resources, particularly given the geographic area, and must prioritize their response to reported crimes.

Statistically – in spite of anomalies and periodic spikes – crime rates are generally dropping in Canada, although this information is likely scant comfort to anyone who has been victimized.

While we don’t need to feel like prisoners in our own homes, we do have a responsibility to ensure that we aren’t inadvertently contributing to crimes of opportunity.

It’s easy enough: lock doors and windows, take basic precautions to secure our homes and help police by reporting suspicious behaviour.

By planning for the anomaly, rather than the norm, we can go a long way to restoring confidence that our homes, and personal safety, are still sacrosanct.

Is B.C. really burning? Not exactly.

BC VIEWS ▼ Tom Fletcher

On a recent drive through the B.C. Interior, I passed through McLure and Barriere, communities north of Kamloops that were devastated by wildfires in 2003.

While these communities have recovered, blackened tree trunks are still visible where fires burned for 75 days and forced the evacuation of 3,800 people.

With the early start to this year’s fire season, the media attention and effects of an unusual spring drought, you might think that B.C. is on pace to match that terrible summer.

You would be wrong. As of last week, area burned and money spent by the B.C. Wildfire Service had only just exceeded the totals for mid-August during last summer’s fire season, which were high but not remarkable.

The number of individual fires is higher this year, but that’s mostly a result of lightning storm patterns.

Spending has topped $200 million, as it did last year at this time before finishing just below $300 million. The

2003 total was above $400 million, and the 2009 season was slightly below that.

Forests Minister Steve Thomson cautions that there are still many weeks to go and hot, dry conditions are expected for much of that. Once the damage is done for the year, the ministry reviews the impact on forests and begins assessment of which areas should be replanted and which should be left to regenerate naturally.

Pine forests need fire to regenerate, and the strategy in recent years has been to allow fires to burn out naturally and contain them to protect people and property. Decades of fire suppression, based on viewing Crown forests strictly as a timber resource, helped create conditions for the beetle epidemic that has left vast quantities of dead wood to fuel more fires.

The 2003 fire season set the tone for political debate on forest fire policy that has continued since then. The opposition points to recommendations from former Manitoba premier Gary

Filmon that removing fuel from around communities is the best protection.

This task has proven impossibly big, especially as rural community tax bases shrink, but the ideological dance continues in Victoria. The NDP campaigned in 2013 on a promise to double tree planting, and its general approach is to spend more money and hire more staff.

Speaking of political dances, Premier Christy Clark has made a couple of appearances at fire sites where homes and businesses have been threatened or destroyed.

(Today’s big-city media formula is to emphasize danger and promote attacks on premiers of all stripes. If they don’t visit disasters, they are callous and uncaring. If they do, they’re exploiting the situation for photo ops).

In her first fire scene appearance this summer, Clark warned that drought and huge fires may be “the new normal” for B.C. as climate warms

and shifts. This is great positioning for the government’s plan to attend the latest global climate doom festival in Paris this fall, but it’s not borne out by recent forest fire results.

In terms of dollars spent and area burned, the years 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 were all well below average.

Last year and 2009 were substantially above average, but 2008 and 2013 were among the quietest years on record.

Is drought the “new normal” too?

The B.C. government’s own climate change forecast is for increasing overall precipitation, albeit with more rain and less snow.

Snowpacks for southern B.C. were indeed the lowest on record this past winter, but that record only goes back 31 years. And when were high snowfall records last broken? That would be 2011.

▶ FIRST TRANSLINK BOARD MEETING AUG. 27 from page 1

That said, the TransLink board will be looking at all issues, including policing.

“I know Mr. Chu will have a perspective and that will be a healthy thing as well,” Fassbender said.

Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner, vice-chair of TransLink, was pleased with the naming of the two and said it’s now time to get busy finding funding to pay for the transit plan.

“But we’re making good progress I think, and with minister Fassbender leading as well… I feel optimistic that we’re heading in a direction that will be beneficial to us,” Hepner said.

Delta Mayor Lois Jackson was also pleased to see the two appointments.

“I’m really hopeful that we will

be able to count on these folks to represent what we actually need here in the Lower Mainland,” Jackson said. “Hope springs eternal.”

The naming of two provincial members was promised by Transportation Minister Todd Stone prior to a failed plebiscite to raise sales tax by 0.5 per cent to fund transportation.

Some Metro mayors doubted the province would follow through on a pledge to appoint its own representatives to join the two mayors on the board – Mayors’ Council chair Gregor Robertson of Vancouver and vice-chair Hepner.

History has shown they had good reason for doubt.

TransLink was formed with three designated seats for the province that first the governing NDP and later the B.C. Lib-

erals never filled. It buffered the province from any backlash should things go wrong with TransLink.

A later reform made additional appointees possible and it was hoped mayors and government representatives sitting together at the same table, along with seven professional appointees, could find more common ground.

Provincial directors had been expected on the board by early 2015. Those appointments met several delays, the last of which was waiting for the decision of the plebiscite.

Fassbender said the two new directors won’t have any powers beyond a regular director, but will represent the province.

The TransLink board is expected to meet tomorrow (Thursday) – the first meeting for Dinwoodie and Chu.

Settle Into Fall Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the Fall – Jordan Baker in ‘The Great Gatsby’ by F. Scott Fitzgerald Autumn is the perfect time for change. With the leaves falling and the first chill in the air, fall is a season that brings new beginnings to mind. It is a great time to start new adventures and make positive changes in our lives. It’s time to leave those lazy days of summer behind us and get back into the swing of things.

This Fall, things are swinging at Magnolia Gardens. Our Friday Afternoon Concert Series features live entertainment by The Acchords, best known for their outstanding performances at Accordionfest in Chemainus on Vancouver Island... and accordion music isn’t just oom-pa-pa anymore... it’s very lively with lots of variation.

We have a wonderful variety of entertainers who come to our building for our residents and their friends and families to enjoy.

Making the move to a seniors’ residence can be a difficult decision. Change can be scary at any age, but this is a positive change. This is a move ‘to live again’. A lot of our residents had been socially isolated, lonely and not eating properly. The move to Magnolia Gardens has taken care of those concerns.

“I had been living in a mobile home on my daughter’s property. I didn’t want to be alone so much, so I made the move to Magnolia Gardens when it opened in September, 2001,” says Margaret. “I have been very happy with the decision to make the move — I wouldn’t think of living anywhere else!”

“I was tired of my own company. Sure, I had friends and family who I still saw, but everyone has such busy lives,” says Marcia. “I decided to take

This Fall, things are swinging at Magnolia Gardens at the Friday Afternoon Concert Series. my life into my own hands; I visited Magnolia Gardens, checked everything out, met some of the residents and felt quite at home. I’ve lived here since 2006 and I must say, I think it was one of my better decisions. I look forward to every day.”

Remember Duke Ellington’s advice: “It Don’t Mean A Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing)”.

If you want to get some swing back in your life at a Bria community, contact Jane Bryce, Area Marketing Manager for Langley at 604 514-1210.

Magnolia Gardens is just blocks away from the downtown centre, public library, shops and services. With Independent Living and Care Centre in the same residence, we can accommodate your varying and changing needs.

You’ll like living here!

Magnolia Gardens is a community for seniors who want to stay active, live independently, and have fun with their friends and families every day.

Tice returns to his ‘second home’ ▼ SURREY SOCCER PLAYER SIGNS TO PLAY WITH LEKNES FK IN NORWAY NICK GREENIZAN

It’s been quite a summer for Robbie Tice.

In mid-July, the 25-year-old Surrey soccer player got married and, after a quick honeymoon in Hawaii, returned home for just one day before heading back to Norway with his new bride, Laura, in tow, after signing to play for Norwegian fourth-division club Leknes FK. It’s been three years since the well-travelled Tice last played in Norway. The former Peace Arch Soccer Club (now Coastal FC) player has spent the last two seasons plying his trade stateside on the United Soccer League’s player-development circuit, first with Florida’s Ocala Stampede (in 2013) and last year with the Washington Crossfire, based out of Seattle.

But rather than continue in the U.S., Tice decided earlier this summer to head back overseas, where he’s played with Surrey’s Robbie Tice a variety of clubs has returned to Norway – in a number of to play for Leknes FK. countries – since he was a teenager.

Through the years, Tice has suited up for teams – often on a trial basis – in Scotland, Germany, Austria and Iceland. He last played in Norway in 2012.

“It’s good to be back here… Norway has become like a second home to me the last couple years, and I always enjoy my time here,” Tice told Peace Arch News via email last week.

“I’m thrilled to have the chance to play here again, and to share this adventure with my wife.”

His reintroduction into Norwegian soccer came earlier this month – and in one of the biggest games of the season for his new side.

On Aug. 8, Leknes squared off against archival FK Lofoten, in a battle between the two top teams in the standings. To make the game even more intense, Leknes hadn’t beaten Lofoten in more than five seasons in league play.

With a goal in the 90th minute of play, Leknes edged their rivals 2-1, to inch to within two points of first place. Tice, a midfielder, called it “a massive game.”

After four years with the Rochester Institute of Technology with the Tigers hockey team, Langley’s Brad McGowan is ready to embark on the professional game. The 25-year-old has signed with the ECHL’s Greensville Road Warriors, an affiliate of the New York Rangers and their AHL team, the Hartford Wolf Pack. PHOTO COURTESY RIT ATHLETICS

Brad McGowan earned both a major (business management) and a minor (criminology) during his four years at university, so doing his homework is something he is accustomed to.

Therefore it should come as little surprise, that when it came time to narrow down his post-university hockey pursuits after graduating from the Rochester Institute of Technology this past spring, the former Surrey Eagles sniper once again did his research.

And what the 25-year-old

injury prevented him from practising during the season — he still played games — so McGowan decided to wait on his decision.

“There were a lot of things that went into (the decision), like which teams get from Langley came up with a lot of guys called up to the was that the Greenville Road next level, if you can get a Warriors of the ECHL were tryout before camp with an the best place for him to beAHL team,” he gin his pro career. explained.

Pack. Vancouver Canucks forward Alex Burrows played for Greenville in 2002-03, and more recently, Edmonton Oilers goaltender Cam Talbot played there in 2010-11.

McGowan will attend training camp with the Wolf Pack at the end of September.

If he fails to stick with the AHL club, he would report to Greenville’s training camp, but because his contract is with Greenville, any AHL team is free to pick him up on a tryout at any point during the season.

“I am just happy he was able to secure a spot to try and move up the ladder now professionally,” said Wayne Wilson, the head coach of the RIT Tigers, who recruited McGowan from the BCHL four years ago. “This is a good continued on page 14

Record setting swimmers ▶ SUNGOD PAIR QUALIFY FOR MAJOR COMPETITIONS RICK KUPCHUK

The Delta Sungod Swim Club enjoyed their final competition of the season in Victoria recently, setting club records and achieving personal bests at the recent B.C. Long Course AAA Championships.

Two swimmers qualified for major competitions. Claudia Baxter qualified for three events at the Canadian Age Group Nationals later this summer in Quebec City, while Noah Landry qualified for the 200m butterfly at the Western Canadian Open in Winnipeg next February.

Four swimmers set new club records, including Hailey Penner, who established eight new Sungod standards. Penner set new long course marks in the 50m, 100m, 200m and 400m freestyle, the 50m and 100m butterfly, the 50m back stroke and the 200 individual medley.

Nicholas Kidd bettered his own club record in the 1,500m freestyle, while Landry beat the old club record

in the 400m individual medley by five seconds. Delphine Wang broke the 10-and-under club record in the 1200m and 200m butterfly.

Paraswimmer Danielle Kisser bettered her own Canadian record in the S6 100m back stroke, beating her own previous personal best by 1.35 seconds.

Landry, Penner and Wang achieved personal bests in every event while in Victoria.

Swimmers reaching A finals (top eight) or B finals (ninth through 16th place) were: Danielle Kisser, 17 - first 50m and 400m freestyle, 100m back stroke, 200m individual medley, 100m breast stroke; third 200m individual medley.

Noah Landry, 15 - eighth 200m butterfly; 10th 400m individual medley. Claudia Baxter, 15 - 9th 100m breast stroke; 16th 200m breast stroke.

Elena Penner, 15 - 9th 50m freestyle. Nicholas Kidd, 17 - 11th 1500m freestyle. Hailey Penner, 12 - 13th 50m back stroke, 200m individual medley; 14th 50m freestyle; 15th 100m freestyle.

starting point (and) I am excited about his future.”

McGowan played two full seasons in the BC Hockey League (BCHL), from 2009 until 2011, and led the Eagles in scoring with 89 points in his final year.

That year, he was also named the BCHL Coastal Conference’s most sportsmanlike player.

McGowan has been everything Wilson expected during his four years at the private New York university.

“Very skilled, great hands, great hockey mind, he is very smart on the ice and he brought a lot of leadership,” Wilson said.

McGowan had 18 points his freshman year, upped that to 25

his sophomore season, and then after dipping to 21 points his junior year, rebounded nicely to finish with 46 points as a senior.

He leaves the Tigers tied for first in games played with 150 and is fifth all-time in goals (46), sixth in points (110) and ninth in assists (64).

He also helped the Tigers go into the record books this past spring as they became the first-ever 16-seed to knock off a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament.

McGowan admitted it was a tough transition from Junior A to college hockey as the schedule dropped from 60 games to 38. The main problem was that when a player got on a hot streak, they would have to wait

a full week to play again and conversely, when slumping, that player had to wait to break their drought.

“If you are hot, it is hard to stay hot, but if you are cold, it is easy to stay cold,” he said.

The ECHL schedule is 72 games while the AHL schedule is 76 games.

To prepare, McGowan is spending his summer at home, working to get stronger and also improve his cardio, to ensure his first pro season is a strong one.

“I still want to be strong, but you have to be more prepared to grind it out over a long schedule,” he said.

“Even though it (may not be) the NHL, I am still getting paid to play hockey; that’s pretty cool.”

A new DAWN, for 25 years â–ś DELTA SOCIETY WORKING HARD TO SUPPORT HELP THOSE WITH MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES

Cloverdale’s

MARKET DAY SIDEWALK SALE

Saturday, August 29

BOAZ JOSEPH

The year 1990 doesn’t seem that long ago, but Jennifer Childs admits the calendar is right.

It was 25 years ago that a group catering to adults with mental illnesses was formed in Delta, and it’s still going strong – and evolving. “I was just a whipper-snapper,� says the executive director of Delta Alliance for Wellness and Networking (DAWN) Society.

Childs joined DAWN about two years after it was formed, at a time when the society was moving out of a remote, inadequate rented space on the Surrey border to its present, fully renovated clubhouse in North Delta.

Things really got rolling when Fraser Health provided core funding, she explains.

Started originally by a group of parents, concerned citizens and community partners who wanted services for people in Delta with a mental illness, DAWN evolved into the centre of a variety of programs tailored to what has grown to serve 300 individuals – a few from Surrey as well as Delta.

DAWN’s programs include community support, supported independent living (rent subsidy), therapeutic volunteer placement, social enterprise and a number of recreational social programs.

Childs says that while the clubhouse remains a daily drop-in centre with social recreation components, it has increased its focus on rehabilitation and supported work programs. “It’s totally changed.

We want people to be contributing members to the community,�

Childs says.

Two of the new social enterprise businesses created by DAWN allow clients to engage in paid part-time employment.

The two businesses are the GLEAM Team, a house cleaning service in Delta and Surrey, and the Delta

plants produce music jewellery gifts treats & eats and more Lana Hart watches as artist Glen Furber works on one of his projects at the DAWN Society’s You Gotta Have Art class. EVAN SEAL Hospital TV program, which provides TV rentals to patients at Delta Hospital.

The basic work experience stepping stones include an experimental moving crew team.

Employment coordinator Carol Thompson says the more demanding jobs, whether

moving or cleaning, are supervised for safety, and are often provided for other clients.

DAWN is also hosting the Gerry Graham Music Program for a third year.

Named after a client who loved music and passed away, the program brings in profes-

sional music teachers and entertainers.

There’s also the continuing and expanding You Gotta Have Art program, led by Lana Hart.

DAWN is currently scouting locations to sell cards created by clients to fundraise for DAWN programs.
