South Surrey parents arrested last May, husband led out of Cloverdale church in handcuffs

Pastor, wife face sex-assault charges Samantha Anderson Black Press

Surrey pastor Samuel Emerson and his wife Madelaine Emerson have been charged with multiple counts of sexual assault, sexual touching and threats.

In a media release issued Tuesday afternoon, Surrey RCMP revealed they received several allegations of sexual assault on May 17, 2017.

The South Surrey couple – who have five children – were arrested the next day.

Samuel Emerson, 34, has been charged with 13 counts of sexual assault, 11 counts of being in a position of authority and touching a person for a sexual purpose, and one count of sexual touching of a person under the age of 16.

Madelaine Emerson, 37, has been charged with one count of sexual assault, one count of being in a position of authority and touching a person for a sexual purpose, and one count of threats to cause death or bodily harm.

The alleged assaults occurred between 2015 and 2017.

Police later explained that the 4½-month delay in announcing the arrest was because “there was no investigational or public safety need to report out on this matter.”

Nicole Brideau helps her father clean.

Nicole Brideau has fond memories of learning how to ride a 50cc Yamaha bike up and down the driveway of her family home, located in the Semiahmoo First Nation reserve, when she was three years old.

She remembers the wrap-around deck attached to her house, only a block from Semiahmoo Bay. The deck has since been brought to the

ground, the lawn – which once had space to park 22 vehicles – is overgrown with blackberries, weeds and a collection of garbage, wood, scrap metal and a work shed that has since fallen over.

The property – which Nicole hasn’t lived in since 2007 – is now unrecognizable from what it was when she moved to start a family in Maple Ridge.

Her father Theodore Brideau, who still lives in that home, received a letter Sept. 29 from

the owners of the property he rents informing him that he might be evicted.

The 75-year-old was given until Nov. 1 to clean his property, including removing piles of garbage/wood, excess building supplies and overgrown bush/yard waste.

“Which is everything,” his daughter notes.

The purpose of the cleanup, the letter states, is to prepare the properties for Semiahmoo First Nation’s plans to connect to the City Continued on A8

Surrey mayor says economics and climate change may drive issue

‘Right time for rail-relocation consideration’ Alex Browne Staff reporter

Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner – who was quoted earlier this decade as viewing discussion of relocating BNSF’s rail route off South Surrey and White Rock’s waterfronts as “premature” – says there may now be a perfect storm of factors brewing to accelerate the idea, including both economic imperatives, and a potential rise in sea level and bank erosion due to climate change.

“It may be exactly the right time to do this,” she told Peace Arch News last week.

Hepner, for whom rail relocation subsequently became an important plank in her 2014 campaign for office, was commenting on a $300,000 grant application Surrey made to the federal Rail Safety Improvement Program (RSIP) this summer.

The application is for the federal third of funding for a study of moving the route that would also be funded by the

local governments (Surrey contributing $225,000 to a suggested $75,000 from White Rock), with the final third coming from the province.

The study, which Surrey transportation manager Jaime Boan has said is planned for a tentative timeline of spring of 2018 to March 2019, hinges on the federal response, expected sometime this fall.

But also in question is the provincial contribution, something that Hepner said

In that context, creating an alternative “The erosion of the bank along the (curroute – probably along Highway 99 – rent) line is frightening.

Parishioners ‘were in shock’ Continued from A1 They say their investigation is ongoing, and are asking other potential victims to call 604599-0502.

“Calling the police to report a sexual assault is a very difficult thing to do, especially when the suspect is someone you knew and trusted,” said Cpl. Scotty Schumann. “Our highly skilled investigators take sexual assaults very seriously, and, supported by our Surrey RCMP victim-services workers, are here to listen and provide emotional support.”

For eight years, Samuel Emerson was a pastor at Cloverdale Christian Fellowship Church, also known as “Cloverdale Church,” at 17802 66 Ave. His last day as a pastor came on May 18, when RCMP “showed up at the door of the church” and led him out in cuffs, said Samuel’s father, Randy Emerson, current pastor of Cloverdale Church.

The day of the arrest, Randy Emerson wrote on Facebook: “If you know us and our church please pray. We are under attack like never before and we need the accuser of the saints to be silenced and Truth prevail.”

Two days later, he wrote: “Thank you to everyone who is praying for us and expressing love at this time. You are making a difference. This is a time when we must not believe with our eyes and ears but with our spirits. Let God be true and every man a liar. Can’t be specific at this time but your prayers are making a difference.”

Randy Emerson and his wife Christine started the Cloverdale Christian Fellowship Church, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this Sunday.

“Sam, being our son, was a part of the church right from the beginning,” he said Wednesday. “If I’d seen anybody go out that way, it’s traumatizing.

Any of our staff taken away (in cuffs) would be tough… Being my son, it was just the cherry on the ice cream, you know?”

The couple was not previously known to police, and they were later released under “strict conditions… sufficient to alleviate any safety concerns.”

One of those conditions, Randy Emerson said, is that they cannot have contact with the church.

No mention of the couple is on the church’s website, but according to his social-media

Following the arrests, Sunday services at Cloverdale Church were subdued for “almost two months,” Randy Emerson said.

“People were in shock for the first while,” he noted. “It was very, very difficult and very quiet and subdued. For the last couple of months we’ve been building towards something lively and full of life again. For a while it was just, like, everybody was just staring off into space.”

The congregation went from around 250 people to 50 people.

“People just left,” he said.

“These are people, some of them that we’d worked with for 25 years… They were ripped out of our relationships just immediately. And they wouldn’t talk to us. At all. Afraid, and I don’t know what for.”

Randy Emerson said Cloverdale Church’s safety protocols are “pretty typical.” They include criminal-record checks.

“As I understand it, none of the allegations occurred at the church,” he said. “I can’t control stuff that happens off the property and on people’s own time.”

The church continues to be active in its work, “but it’s on a much more subdued level.”

“We’ve pulled back, but we’re not stopping,” he said.

Samuel Emerson’s work as a pastor also took him to other churches in Surrey, including Life Church in White Rock.

In a Facebook post in September 2016, Life Church wrote: “This Sunday we welcomed young Pastor Sam Emerson from our sister church in Cloverdale, BC who spoke to us about our destiny in God… Sam grew upon our church, and had some very important insights to share.”

After the charges were made public, Cloverdale churches – including Centre, Cloverdale Baptist, Coast Hills Community, Crossridge Community, Hope Community, Pacific Community, Sonrise Community, West Coast Community and Zion Lutheran churches – issued a joint statement.

“We are deeply saddened and shocked by the numerous charges laid against Sam and Madelaine Emerson, pastoral leaders at Cloverdale Christian Fellowship,” the statement reads. “We grieve for the victims and support all the efforts of the RCMP and our judicial system to do what is right. We hope that all details will be exposed thoroughly so that justice and healing can be accomplished effectively for the sake of all involved.”

Jim Heuving, executive pastor at Pacific Community Church, said “strong protocols” are in place to protect vulnerable people, but “it’s a wake-up call.”

He said members of Cloverdale churches are asking themselves: “Are we doing the best we can do? If not, let’s do better.”

“Many churches, Pacific Community Church is an example, are all about safety,” he said.

“Every member of our staff and volunteers are screened and trained in how to work with children, youth, seniors and those with disabilities.”

Heuving said he will be calling his congregation to unite in prayer and support of those who have been affected.

“There’s a lot of hurt,” he said.

The churches are offering to “provide support to any who are impacted by this troubling situation,” including those “who may need financial aid in accessing counselling and support.”

SkyTrain to get 56 new cars

LRT to be complete 2024 Tom Zytaruk Surrey Now-Leader staff

Fifty-six new SkyTrain cars, double-decker buses and light rail transit were on the menu as Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner and TransLink CEO Kevin Desmond spoke Wednesday at a business luncheon held by the Surrey Board of Trade.

They set the table where rapid transit is concerned in Surrey and elsewhere south of the Fraser River.

“When it comes to transportation, it is no secret Surrey and South of the Fraser have been left behind,” Hepner said, noting the last new investment in rapid transit for Surrey was in the 1990s. “To say our time has come for a high-quality rapid transit solution for south of the Fraser is a vast understatement.”

The proposed South of Fraser Rapid Transit network features 27 kilometres of light rail transit, or LRT. There are two phases, with the first embracing Newton and Guildford LRT, and phase 2, a Surrey-Langley line.

Mayor Linda Hepner and Translink CEO Kevin Desmond.

Desmond told the business audience that “if all goes well, the light rail project ought to be up and running by 2024.”

Phase 1 features 11 stops along 10.5 kilometres of street-level track connecting Guildford, Surrey Central and Newton.

Hepner said LRT will place 250,000 people within five minutes of accessing rapid transit.

“I just can’t wait for the shovels to hit the ground,” she said. “We’re almost there.”

Desmond said 56 new cars have been ordered for the SkyTrain system from Bombardier. “We’re hoping between

Tom Zytaruk photo

the end of next year and into 2019 they’ll be in place.”

He said the aim is to move to five-car trains from fourcar trains.

Plans are in the works for bus riders, too, after last month’s announcement for South Surrey’s 351/354 lines.

“In around the November period, we’re bringing up a couple of double-decker buses, which have 80 seats,” Desmond said.

Hepner was asked if the LRT project will be expanded to South Surrey, Cloverdale and Langley?

She replied the Mayor’s Council is looking at that.

“All of those would be under consideration.”

Evolution of the community newspaper

A

s our online followers will attest, there have been a lot of changes to the Peace Arch News’ digital presence.

In short, we’ve joined the “World Wide” Web. Our recently upgraded website is constantly being updated, not only with local news, but with regional, provincial, national and international items of interest.

As news items hit our website, they also get pushed through our social media platforms, notably Facebook and Twitter.

While we’re told the vast majority of our readership appreciates the new, broader focus, there are those who seem unhappy with the prospect of a community newspaper covering more than the news within the boundaries of the community it serves.

Being a more well-rounded news source is a major reason for the upgrade not only to our website, but to all the websites under the Black Press banner.

Black Press boasts the largest composite newsroom in B.C., with nearly 200 reporters covering every region in the province. Why would we not take advantage of that?

By offering not only the local news, but news from abroad, Black Press is endeavouring to make it easy for you, the digital reader, to get all your information from one source.

Remember: just because it isn’t local does not mean it is not newsworthy.

For those who have no interest in reading anything “out of market,” our print publication is the “ultra-local” version of our product – and you can read that online as well.

We post every one of our print editions electronically. They can be accessed through our website. Just look for the e-edition prompt at the top of the page.

We appreciate that there are many Semiahmoo Peninsula residents with roots in other places. And while there are some who would rather not read about news items happening across the country and around the world, the bulk of our social media engagement, as well as our digital performance, shows that we are on the right track.

Thank you for all your feedback, and, most importantly, thanks for reading.

sentiment is being echoed throughout their country, one which already – according to the Corruption Perceptions Index – has little faith in its government.

Criticism of government seems to quickly follow tragedy. After the Edmonton attack, Canadians criticized the federal government’s immigration policy, some will say for good reason. The suspect in that attack, accused of stabbing a police officer and ramming a vehicle through a crowd, was ordered to be deported from the United States in 2011, according to the Associated Press, which noted he was later granted asylum in Canada.

In the U.S., many were critical of the government’s slow response to the hurricane that destroyed many parts of Puerto Rico. That criticism was heightened, and some will say validated, after billionaire president Donald Trump visited Puerto Rico and was photographed throwing paper-towels to the residents of the flooded country, at a time when they still need electricity, food, and warmth. Following the Las Vegas shooting, many residents were critical of the country’s gun policy.

If there’s something to be learned from tragedy, it’s that quick action, support, generosity, change and compassion comes quickest from the people, not the government.

This is what binds us all.

Dog survey Leadership raises hackles under fire Editor:

Editor:

Dogs-on-promenade again?

This debate does warrant a closer look, but to go door-todoor and head count dogs?

This is a blatant opportunity for the city to force owners to license their dogs – an annual fee of $25/$40 per dog, and you must show proof of vaccinations.

Rabies reports in dogs and cats the last three years in B.C. was zero. They found less than 15 incidents, and this was in bats.

I have strong feelings on forced vaccinations. Research has shown we are over-vaccinating our pets.

I recently had found a lost dog who only had a city tag. It was a waste of time calling them. All I got from them was the name of the dog. They refused to give me any more info.

They said they would call the owner. After 24 hours, no call, no owner. They would not tell me if the owner did or did not call.

The poor dog was stressed enough, and neither of us could understand what took so long.

Two days later, I again called, and they said to bring the dog to the shelter. If the dog was given to the shelter, do they charge a fine to get your dog back?

Will they rehome your dog if unclaimed after five days?

Instead, I posted on websites.

I finally found the owner, and he said no one called him. He, too, was angry with the city.

If his address did not change, why didn’t they just give it to me?

Why didn’t they call to tell me his phone was the wrong number?

This is a poor excuse for a licence. What does the licence do for us if it can’t be used to return the dog? I could have had that dog home in an hour.

I found through the Internet that you can register your dog through the BC Pet registry for $12 a year or $45 for life. So that means, for $40 dollars a year per pet, I may or may not get my dog back.

This is a great time to call out the research and ask our city, what does this do for pet owners?

We are responsible, but pets do what pets do. And at such a high cost for food, vet bills, and tags, they need to be held accountable.

As soon as the city sees an opportunity, just like pay parking, prices will go up. And when it does, more dogs and cats will be relinquished because some can’t afford the fees and fines.

Susan Martin, Surrey

It is outrageous that White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin should attempt to intimidate the elected representatives of a First Nations Community – one mildmannered man and two woman, armed with a cease-and-desist order – and then proceed to give them a condescending lecture of his various historical grievances.

Especially appalling was the shouting at and attempted minimization of the SFN council members. The scene was quite horrifying. Proper consultations and a more diplomatic attitude would have produced an completely different result.

To hold a by-invitation-only ground-breaking ceremony, have armed RCMP guards present and not invite the historical owners of the land – let alone the general taxpaying public – is about as insulting and disrespectful as it gets.

Fiona MacDermid, White Rock ••• Finally, Semiahmoo First Nation has been able to get the attention the White Rock council.

A rational person should have expected that when you ignore their possible interests, threaten to cut off their water, plan a major renovation that

Re: Dogs-on-promenade question spurs debate, Sept. 27.

Re: ‘Disrespectful to ancestors in every way,’ Sept. 15.

may impact their history with no discussion – not even an invitation to the ground breaking – you could expect pushback.

It is my opinion that the mayor and council are destroying the fabric of the city. They have been seduced by developers who are only interested in profit. We, the citizens, did not even get a kiss.

Their proposals are presented as a fait accompli needing only a change in zoning. The new development plan could/may have been written by the developers.

A fatally flawed survey by the city was accepted as having some value. No wonder senior staff are leaving this sinking ship.

Council stopped having public questions at the end of regular council meetings from citizens who might want clarification or have good ideas. Following a strike by civic workers, the council decided on the punitive outsourcing of garbage collection that has resulted in having multiple contractors’ heavy trucks picking up garbage all through the week. The purchase of the water utility was done with little consultation; we do not know the price or alternatives, only that we now have a new water tank that will provide the same contaminated water as before.

In-camera discussions and even decisions are being made without information or input from citizens. It seems that only the interests of their friends are being considered – an example is the trees on the hump.

“ “

It is unfortunate there is no mechanism to recall this group that is destroying our community.

We have to throw out the bunch of them at the next election and hope there is enough left to save.

Frank Mansell, White Rock

Editor: Most automobile operators are accustomed to seeing painted yellow curbs indicating an area not to be parked in. This custom in municipalities has always assisted the safety of moving vehicles to merge into oncoming traffic by being able to see adequately and avoid an accident.

Be that as it may, our evercost-conscious ‘penny-wise, pound-foolish’ White Rock government has apparently decided to do away with painting yellow curbs in an effort to save a few cents.

Don’t believe me? Take a look at Everall Street, where it is just a matter of time until a senior gets smooshed because they can’t see oncoming traffic when they exit through the parked cars.

Better still are the cars parking in front of the hydrant there!

Had the city policed the malparking on Everall, they would have garnered enough money to paint all the curbs in the city.

Repairs to the Bailey bridge over the Nicomekl River have occurred over the years, including last week and (above) in 2008.

Portable bridge has come too far Editor:

Re: Bailey bridge closed, Sept. 27

During the campaign in North West Europe from 1944 to 1945, 1,500 Bailey bridges nobly served the cause of freedom in giving mobility to Allied forces.

One-thousand-four-hundred-and-ninety-nine of those bridges have gone to their just reward, but the City of Surrey continues to force the last of

those bridges to bear burdens far beyond what it was ever expected to do.

Instead of working on finding a way to “allow all vehicles to cross the bridge, with no weight restrictions,” why not do the sensible thing, and replace this veteran with a proper, modern bridge that will bring this crossing up to a four-lane standard?

‘Unfortunately, it’s years of catching up’ Continued from A1 of Surrey’s sanitary sewer, water and fire-protection services.

A separate letter issued Aug. 21 states that SFN will provide the service connections to the individual property lines, however, connections to individual residences will be at each tenant’s own expense and full connections are mandatory.

SFN Chief Harley Chappell explains he wears two hats for this particular issue, one as a leader of the First Nation and one as a member of the Dolan family that owns the property.

“It’s not band business, it’s family business and I am part of that family,” Chappell told Peace Arch News Wednesday.

Chappell said the family got together to discuss the imminent infrastructure upgrades and health, welfare and environmental impact of people leasing land from the families.

“Unfortunately, it’s years of catching up,” Chappell said, noting there’s no legal tenure for those homeowners renting land from the families. “They’re actually declared buskshee tenants, which is an illegal tenant. They’re just

For us, it’s a must-happen.”

Theodore Brideau has lived on the property for nearly 40 years. He owns the home but rents the land from the Dolan family for a modest price.

A welder by trade, Brideau became a woodworker after crushing his leg working as a longshoreman 15 years ago. His property is filled, he says, with abandoned projects.

After his injury, he started collecting miscellaneous materials and items that he intended to refurbish or repurpose. Resting in a pile of rubble Tuesday were two metal bench ends – the kind found fitted to a bench in a park. He intended to rebuild the bench, but never got around to it.

He likes to keep things. His 1993 pickup truck, for example, is approaching one million kilometres.

It was never his intention to let the property fall into disrepair, he told PAN, but his injury prevented him from taking proper care of it. An avid runner in his earlier years, he has since been slowed to a walk, though he is quick to point out – and demonstrate – that he’s still able to kick up to seven feet in the air and do the splits.

Unable to complete the cleanup on his own, he has the help of his daughter.

Nicole, a 28-year-old mother of three, agrees the cleanup is needed, and she has put her life on pause to help her father. After dropping off her six-year-old at school Tuesday and leaving her two babies with her cousin, Nicole made the commute from Maple Ridge to clean the land.

“I’m overwhelmed,” she said. “I understand why they want to clean up the reserve. My dad has been here for a long time and he just didn’t pick up all of this stuff and put it in the garbage when it was garbage. Now, instead of just pushing it to the side, we have to get rid of it.”

If they’re not able to complete the work by Nov. 1, she said she’d be “devastated.”

“I would like to one day live here with my kids.

My husband is all for it, too. Build an extension, put a couple rooms on it…. My kids love coming here, the beach is one of their favourite places.”

Staring at the debris Tuesday, Nicole said she “doesn’t know where to start.”

The hardest part, she says, will be removing the shed and blackberries, which have grown to approximately10 feet high.

Nicole contacted PAN, asking for help.

“I need help to help my dad!” she wrote. “Volunteers, maybe a company is able to lend a dump container to put the junk in….”

This weekend she plans to make a dent in the project. She’s found the help of a few strangers through Facebook, who will join her husband and friends to work to remove the shed. She plans to provide a couple bins to haul away the scrap. and estimates the cleanup will cost her at least $2,000.

“My dad lives paycheque-to-paycheque, he’s an old pensioner. My husband has given me the OK to spend some of the money we saved for our family of five and donate to my dad to put in a couple of bins here,” she said.

Nicole was clear she knows the cleanup is needed and wants to make it a positive experience.

Chappell said he wants to ensure that both sides of the story are shared in order to have a “deeper understanding of what this looks like.”

“This could look very much like we just want to weed everybody out… but no. There are some properties that are in real disarray that need to be cleaned up. We don’t have those measures, if they’re not willing to do that, maybe they will have to go somewhere else.”

Nicole is staying optimistic.

“It would be a miracle, but anything can happen,” she said.

She asks that anyone who can offer manpower or machinery to email nickytupper@gmail.com

Price tag rises for White Rock’s Memorial Park

t

Li’l Haunters

Alex Browne Staff reporter

The price tag for White Rock’s Memorial Park/ Pier Washroom project now stands at $5.6 million, according to a new report from city financial services director Sandra Kurylo.

The report, presented to council at Monday evening’s regular meeting with the endorsement of city manager Dan Bottrill, recommends a further amendment to the city’s 2017-2021 financial plan.

The changes are necessary, it says, due to a number of factors affecting different areas of the plan, including a need to move money around from existing reserves to cover shortfalls and additional expenses, and to make adjustments to internal borrowing to reflect amounts now received by the city from community amenity

contributions (CACs).

The report was received without comment from council at the meeting, which was sparsely attended by the public (Couns. Megan Knight and Bill Lawrence were also away), and the associated amendment bylaw received first second and third readings, also without comment.

An amendment to the community amenity reserve fund bylaw – which Kurylo said would “add flexibility” by allowing CACs to repay external borrowing for amenities – also received first, second and third readings. Final adoption of both bylaws is expected at the Oct. 23 council meeting.

The Memorial Park project budget, originally pegged at some $4.5 million, increased to a projected cost of $5,548,490 in a corporate report from then engineering

and municipal operations manager Greg St. Louis, received by council on July 24.

Major factor cited in the increased cost was an additional $170,000 for a public art installation.

According to Kurylo’s report, the cost of the project has now increased by another $65,000 (to $5,613,000) to include contracted project management – which will be funded by reallocating money from the general fund operating budget.

Kurylo’s report says that the 2018 budget for extension of the promenade to Coldicutt Ravine, already reduced by $1,047,000 this summer to accommodate the the increase in the Memorial Park project budget, was further reduced by $330,000 to meet requirements of the development cost charge bylaw.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

The 25th Red Serge gala and auction is set for Oct. 27 at Hazelmere Golf & Country Club

Masked event to mark silver milestone Tracy Holmes Staff reporter

An annual gala held to support safety initiatives on the Semiahmoo Peninsula is marking a milestone this year – and organizers say the upcoming affair will be one to remember.

“It’s going to be a spectactular event,” Darren Alexander, president of the Semiahmoo Volunteer Community Police Society, said of the 25th Red Serge gala.

Set for Oct. 27 at Hazelmere Golf & Tennis Club (18150 8 Ave.), the silver-anniversary fundraiser is to be a blackand-white masquerade ball, and guests are encouraged to get in the spirit – whether that means masks, boas, feathers or otherwise – for the occasion.

“Halloween was right around the corner, so we thought it would be a fun feature,” society director Katherine De Vita said of the decision for the theme.

“For a lot of adults, this may be their Halloween outing.”

Last year’s gala, held at

Sammy J’s Grill & Bar, had a ‘Heroes with Heart’ theme.

Alexander said he is confident the milestone event will sell out, and that a goal to surpass previous years’ events in terms of funds raised can be met.

“We usually come out at about $28,000. I’d like to see us get to about $35,000,” he said.

“The more money we raise, the more money we can donate to safety groups.”

The evening will also mark a new beginning for the society – effective after the gala, the society will be known

as Semiahmoo Community Safety Society.

The change “is to reflect our wider mandate of community safety,” Alexander said.

That mandate came into effect last year, after the South Surrey RCMP District 5 office stopped using society funds for its programs, prompting a decision for the society to diversify its efforts.

Alexander and De Vita praised the “generous” support of the gala from returning and new sponsors.

The evening is to include the

traditional features of a live and silent auction, with items up for bid in the live event to include a ride on the RCMSAR5 rescue boat for lunch in the Gulf Islands, and a child’s breakfast with White Rock firefighters, with the winner to be picked up in a fire truck and dropped off at school.

The grand prize draw will be for a $2,500 travel voucher.

De Vita expects the live band – the Fabulous Ringtones, who Alexander noted offered to donate their time to the evening – will also be well-

received.

She and Alexander emphasized that dressing in costume for the gala is not mandatory, nor is the event “super-formal.”

“Some of my friends are going all out to dress up,” De Vita said. “But everybody can do what they feel.”

“We’re just looking to have a great night and celebrate,” said Alexander.

“It’s 25 years of volunteers raising funds to support safety initiatives in the area.”

Innovation recognized Two businesses deemed most innovative in Surrey for 2017 were celebrated at a Surrey Board of Trade luncheon last week.

ARKTOS Developments Ltd. won the Excellence in Innovation category award at the 2017 Surrey Innovation Awards Sept. 28, while Focused Interiors took home the

Young Innovator Award.

The fourth annual awards event was held at Sheraton Vancouver Guildford Hotel.

“Each of today’s winners exemplifies innovation, that is new ways of doing business,” said SBOT CEO Anita Huberman.

“It is Surrey’s innovative companies that will meet the challenges of the new economy, expanding opportunity in the great city that is Surrey, improving lives locally and globally by transforming ideas and technology into commercial reality.”

The Excellence in Innovation award “recognizes a business that has developed a new or improved technology, service, process or product by using creative methods and innovative thinking that has the potential to transform an industry sector or quality of life.”

The board’s awards committee describes Newton-based ARKTOS Developments as “a well-established Canadian-owned company that designs and manufactures the unique amphibious ARKTOS Craft at its facility in Surrey and is active in both domestic and international markets.

“ARKTOS Craft were initially developed for use in the Arctic environment

ARKTOS Owners Bruce and Darlene Seligman. as a lifeboat that can go in ice due to planned increased exploration activities by the oil industry.”

The first ARKTOS Craft prototype was built in 1986.

“Today, the two existing models of ARKTOS Crafts have been used for various applications including by the oil and gas sector as an evacuation system for offshore platforms, for seismic survey work in the Bohai Delta, China and Alaska, (and) for ice management/logistical duties in the Alberta oil sands. They announced, at the event, that they just received a contract for work in Saudi Arabia.”

Its craft can operate in shallow water, ice and water, ice-rubble

fields, deep mud, muskeg and quicksand.

ARKTOS Developments is located in Newton.

The Young Innovator award category “recognizes a young innovator that has developed a new or improved technology, service, process or product by using creative methods and innovative thinking that has the potential to transform quality of life.”

Fleetwood-based Focused Interiors “creates a visual studio generating photorealistic images of properties in the real estate market,” the board noted. “These images enable property buyers and property owners to see the potential of real estate regardless of its current state.”

Feezah Jaffer appointed as charity’s new executive director

New lead for food bank Surrey Food Bank has a new leader.

The organization’s board of directors have chosen Feezah Jaffer to replace former executive director Marilyn Herrmann, who retired earlier this year.

Jaffer, who worked closely with longtime leader Herrmann, has more than eight years of non-profit experience with a background that has focused on food security and community leadership.

She thanked the food bank’s board of directors for the opportunity to lead the charity’s “new era of growth and service to our community.”

Jaffer said she has many plans for the food bank’s future. One is to “ride the digital wave” in her new position.

“I would like to engage our community more on social media, engage more youth and work to educate the community about the growing hardships and challenges their neighbours face,” Jaffer told

Feezah Jaffer of the Surrey Food Bank.

Black Press.

“I would also like to share the success stories of food bank clients. We have many clients who have been able to overcome challenges and bring their families out of food insecurity and poverty, and now have come back to the food bank as volunteers and donors. They know what it is like to struggle and they now have the ability to help. It is humbling to see and share that.”

Jaffer said she also hopes to help the food bank continue to grow “beyond hunger”

by not only providing food, “but connecting them with opportunities and education so that they can provide better for their families and themselves.”

And it appears Jaffer may be at the helm when the food bank finally gets a new home, which it has been actively seeking for about six years.

The Anglican Parish of the Church of Epiphany, at 10553 148 St., wants to partner with the organization in a redevelopment project that would see the food bank build a new home to suit its needs.

“They have close to two acres and they wanted to partner with an organization that kind of has the same philosophy, the same community connection. They thought the food bank would be perfect because they want to bring the community together.”

Jaffer envisions it as a facility “where we can bring our clients in out of the elements, provide space for them to engage with our partners and each other and where they feel safe, respected and dignified.”

Highlighting Surrey’s history Samantha Anderson Black Press

The City of Surrey might be where “the future lives,” but, as one of its latest projects demonstrates, it’s where the past lives, too.

The city has just released a new history book celebrating the people and events that shaped Surrey into what it is today. Surrey: A City of Stories is a “Surrey Legacy Project” created in honour of Canada 150.

The book was penned by K. Jane Watt, an award-winning writer and researcher based out of Fort Langley.

More than 500 visuals are enclosed between the covers, including 332 photos, 40 maps, 73 artifacts and 61 documents.

Readers can discover what the streets of Surrey looked like on Oct. 12, 1962, after Hurricane Frieda ran over the city; travel

back to 1913, when you could purchase a lot in “White Rock Heights” for $200; and more.

Watt takes a frank look at the city’s history, and although much of the book reads as a pleasant reminiscence, the text also highlights the prejudice of the past, the “sobering” moments of our collective past that have been “overlooked or cast aside.”

Watt offers an explanation of the text in the book’s afterword.

“Surrey: A City of Stories showcases the breadth of stories that have made today’s Sur-

rey, and its presents glimpses of ordinary people who together have made this a remarkable place,” she writes.

“History is built from conversations and documents, from photographs, artifacts and memories kept safe over time. It is incomplete, and it is not always smooth or polite,” she adds.

Watt will speak at an author’s event at the Cloverdale Library on Oct. 14, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. It will be followed by a book-signing.

To register, call 604-502-6459.

For more information, visit surrey.ca/heritage Surrey: A City of Stories costs $25 and can be purchased online or at the Surrey Archives, Historic Stewart Farm, the Surrey Arts Centre or Surrey City Hall. You can also check it out of your local Surrey library.

Fraser Health releases tip sheet for parents

Parents have the unique opportunity to shape how young people consume news.

And in the wake of the news of a mass shooting at Las Vegas last Sunday– as well as other sometimes-shocking news events happening around the world – Fraser Health has released a reminder to parents to take the lead.

They have republished a tip sheet created by The Scientific Parent, called Talking to Kids About Tragedy.

It reads that “many parents’ first instinct is to shield their children from tragic events, whether natu-

ral disasters or acts of violence.”

However, studies are now showing that not talking to children about these types of events can actually do more harm than good. It refers to Dr. Gail Beck, director of Youth Outpatient and Outreach Psychiatry at the Royal Mental Health Centre in Ottawa.

The tips include: • Talking to your kids about how the events make you feel using age appropriate language, and ask them how the events make them feel.

• Be honest about what happened, in an age appropriate way, avoiding the use of flowery metaphors or fairy tales.

• Turn off the news if you feel the images or details are too graphic, but explain to your child why you’re doing so.

• If your child asks a question to which you don’t have an answer it’s OK to say, “I don’t know.”

• Reassure them it’s normal to feel sad or upset about a tragic event and encourage them to talk to you.

• If teens or older children say they need to watch the news coverage, watch it with them and talk through their emotions.

T

he title of the acrylic painting is TeethShattering Scream.

It’s a self-portrait of artist Vicki Lynn Rae, her face distorted in a cry of anger, anguish and pain. And she still remembers clearly her feelings when she painted it 10 years ago. “(It’s) a self study in the actual moment of having a massive emotional release of anger,� she told Peace Arch News this week. “It took tremendous courage, energy and focus to stay with the feeling, honour it and step back and observe myself to

The painting was the first in what she calls her ‘Recovery Series’ – self-portraits documenting pivotal stages of a struggle against addictive behaviours that, she admits, had brought her to the brink of ending her life in 2006.

Rae, whose online bio acknowledges her Native Canadian and South African roots, described to PAN growing up in an “attentive and supportive� environment in which both her parents and early teachers encouraged her to express herself through a passion for art that manifested itself from the moment she could hold a pencil.

She was born with a “visible and painful� vascular malformation on her right arm and chest (she is left-handed), and that, she said, contributed to her perceptions of herself being skewed in her formative years. “I was terribly shy and suffered from crippling anxiety,� she noted. “With little understanding of what I was going through and no other suitable treatment on offer at the time, I found reprieve in alcohol, anorexia and selfharm.�

Continued from A19 she said, spanned the years from ages 14 to 24, even though she continued to paint and draw all the while.

“It was my lifeline, a visual diary, a meditation and communication with something larger than myself which I wasn’t even aware of,” she said. “All I knew was I was compelled to create.”

After working following graduation from high school, she travelled to Florence, Italy for a six-month program in fine arts and Italian language.

Following another spell of working at various jobs and moving around the Lower Mainland, Rae was accepted into the IDEA program at Capilano University in 2004.

“But my addiction was allbut-consuming me by then,” she said.

She hit “rock bottom” two years later – only to find a turning point in the midst of her despair as she looked at her paintings, filling the walls and closets of her dilapidated East Vancouver apartment.

“It was my art that called to me that day, and for my art I chose to go on – in an instant I set everything else aside and dedicated my life to bringing something beautiful into this

world through art.”

Rae realized then that her main wish was to, through art, share a story of recovery to give inspiration and hope to others.

“My addiction was miraculously lifted that day in September in 2006, and through vigilance and perseverance I have remained sober to this day,” she said.

The healing journey began in intuitive canavases that reflected her emotional state in-the-moment, Rae said.

A telling companion piece to Teeth Shattering Scream is The Night Everything Went Away, she said.

“It shows the next layer in the healing process: a sadness, a deep surrender and peace.”

Over the last decade Rae has built steadily on her progress.

The Recovery Series has given way to the Safari Series – celebrating African wildlife – and the Canada Wild Series, which has evolved to include Lower Mainland landscapes.

She has participated in numerous community art exhibitions and has learned to step out of the comfort zone of her studio in live painting demos of her creative process.

“Painting and anything creative – this is the language I speak and understand, this is how I process my life, the world, experiences and events,” Rae said.

“For me, making art is – akin to breathing – it is not an option, it is who I am.”

And Rae – who’s also set to participate in a group show of landscapes, You Are Here, at the North Vancouver District Library Gallery (Oct. 25 to Dec. 11) – describes the Chicago show as a first step in a new phase in her career. “(This) juried exhibit is my first foray into the international art scene and I see it as an exciting beginning of what’s to come,” she said.

took over.

After the passing of van Liempt, and after many years of feeling “diminished, not worthy, low self-esteem,” DeWit took the conducting course at Capilano College.

“I was tired of people telling me I’m not good enough and I thought (school) would help give me some confidence.”

And it did – slowly.

In 2012, after the CSO’s conductor resigned, the board asked DeWit to step up. Though she was still anxious, she took the job, and it was then that a shift startied to happen.

“It gets easier and easier. Now it’s to the point where I’m okay once I’ve been in a venue for a while,” she said. “I have a long way to go. I feel safe in my own community now – I can conduct here and it’s okay.”

In 2016 she extended her musical environment further when the board of the White Rock Community Orchestra appointed her director of the four decades-old ensemble, succeeding Stuart Martin, who left to pursue an opportunity in the U.S. She now splits her time between the two orchestras and other conducting assignments.

She said the anxiety can still arise “even though I’m confident enough that somebody saw what I’m doing in this community and thought I deserved an award.”

And it’s all because of the music.

“Music has saved my life,” said DeWit. “The future looks promising.”

The WRCO’s next major performance will be its Dec. 2 concert at St. John’s Presbyterian Church. For more information on the organization and upcoming appearances, visit whiterockcommunityorchestra.org or wrco.ca

W

hite Rock libero Breanna Beamish and her Canada’s senior women’s volleyball teammates were as good as gold last weekend.

Team Canada ruled the court last weekend during the NORCECA Continental Championship at the Langley Events Centre.

Canada won the tournament title with a 3-0 win over Cuba Saturday at the LEC. In a hotly contested final, set scores were 25-18, 25-15, and 25-23.

The win over Cuba not only earned the Canadian women the gold medal, it also qualified them for the 2018 world championships in Japan.

Canada started off tentative very early on in the gold medal game, but then gained strength after the first technical time out of the first set, and

they didn’t really look back despite a late challenge by the Cuban team.

Tournament MVP Alexa Gray led all scoring with 19 points, followed by Marie-Alex Belanger with 17 points.

Sulian Matienzo reached double digits for Cuba with 12 points.

Cuba comes away with silver and also earns a berth in the 2018 worlds, while Nicaragua and St. Lucia finished third and fourth, respectively.

“We are very happy. We played very good, especially in the first two sets.

We showed what progress we’ve made this summer,” Canada head coach Marcello Abbondanza said. “I’m happy for my team – they gave it 100 per cent of what they had, and winning 3-0 is never easy, so bravo.”

John Wesley was the story for the Surrey Eagles over the weekend. Unfortunately, his highlight-reel performance didn’t result in consecutive wins.

After an impressive 4-1 win over the Prince George Spruce Kings at South Surrey Arena on Friday, the Eagles went into a tough matchup against the league-leading Vernon Vipers on Sunday.

Midway through the second period, the Eagles had a 3-1 lead on the visiting team.

They couldn’t hang on to their lead, allowing four unanswered goals before eventually losing 5-4.

“I thought we carried the play on Sunday early on, but it was a back and forth game,” said head coach Brandon West. “I thought we had a lapse in the second where we took some penalties and it hurt us.”

The Vipers scored two powerplay goals in the second period to claw their way out of a 3-1 deficit. They bagged two more goals in a tight third period to win the game.

It’s not too often that a player scores four goals in one game during a losing effort, but that’s exactly where Wesley found himself on Sunday night.

His four-goal game capped off an impressive weekend. Wesley also registered a goal and an assist in the team’s 4-1 win over the Spruce Kings, giving him six points in two games.

“Johnny has been a threat, but he brings a lot more than just offence,” said West.

He’s a good 200-foot player, and he brings a lot of leadership to our group. We aren’t surprised to see him with nine goals.”

Wesley’s offensive contributions almost single-handedly propelled the Eagles to victory on Sunday. His nine goals are currentContinued on A27

Americans win seventh straight Presidents Cup title

Hadwin, Team fall to U.S. Ben Lypka Black Press

Adam Hadwin’s first appearance in the Presidents Cup failed to end the nearly 20-year drought for the International Team.

The Abbotsford golfer – who lists South Surrey’s Morgan Creek Golf Course as his home course – competed at the biennial event in New Jersey on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but ultimately saw his team fall 19-11 to the United States.

Hadwin was not selected to play on the opening day on Sept. 28, and opened the event teaming with Japan’s Hideki Matsuyami against the American team of Patrick Reed and Jordan Speith in four-ball competition on Friday.

The Americans took the early lead after three holes, but Hadwin and Matsuyama took over by hole six and led until the 16th when Reed and Speith tied it up.

The pairs eventually halved the match, helping the International Team earn half a point.

Hadwin’s highlight of the match was a birdie on the 13th.

Hadwin returned to action on Saturday morning, teaming up with Adam Scott to battle

Adam Hadwin was unsuccessful in his Presidents Cup debut last weekend.

Americans Dustin Johnson and Matt Kuchar in foursome play.

The U.S. team built an early lead, and were four up after nine holes. They maintained that lead to send the International Team home early with three holes to go.

“Certainly Adam and I are disappointed,” Hadwin told TSN after Saturday. “We just couldn’t get any momentum going, we just couldn’t match up.”

The event wrapped up on Sunday with one-on-one competition, as Hadwin took

on American Phil Mickelson.

Hadwin fell behind by three strokes after nine holes, but kept pace with Mickelson to end up losing by two strokes and losing after 17 holes.

The International Team’s loss is the seventh consecutive loss at the event for the team. The International Team last won the Presidents Cup in 1998.

The event ends the golf season for Hadwin, a successful one that saw him earn his first PGA tour win, compete at the Masters and the U.S. Open and also shoot a rare 59.

COMMUNITY CHARTER S.B.C. 2003 CHAPTER 26: NOTICE OF INTENTION TO SELL CITY LANDS Pursuant to Sections 26 and 94 of the Community Charter S.B.C. 2003, Chapter 26, as amended, the City of Surrey hereby gives notice of the intention to dispose of the following City lands: Legal Description:

After a winless, 2016-17 season, Surrey Knights general manager Amar Gill did anything but stay stagnant.

Gill made unusual headlines for a PJHL team by hiring former Vancouver Canucks assistant general managers Laurence Gilman and Lorne Henning. Gilman was hired as director of operations while Henning was brought on as the director of player development.

“They’ve been a factor for our team,” said head coach Spencer Mchaffie. “They’ve given us good guidance ever since they were hired.”

Even though most Canucks fans would know the names Gilman and Henning, that

didn’t hold true for some of the Knights players.

“A lot of the guys didn’t know who they were, but once they found out, they were pretty excited,” said Mchaffie.

Although the team has made steady improvements, they are still searching for that elusive first win. The franchise hasn’t won a game since Nov. 19th, 2015, back when they were still the Langley Knights.

“We’ve got a pretty young group,” said Mchaffie.

“There’s lots of inexperience in our lineup.

Even though they haven’t won a game, Mchaffie is seeing steady progression in certain aspects of the Knights game.

“Our offensive production is where we want it to be, and we’re continually improving.

We’re in games more often than not.”

Signs of the Knights progression might not be showing up in the win column, but there are noticeable differences with this year’s team.

The team is scoring almost a full goal-per-game more than last season, averaging 2.25 goals-per-game compared to 1.5 last year.

With that first win failing to fall within their grasp, Mchaffie says the team is still in positive spirits.

“We’ve had lots of team bonding events to keep the positivity up in the room.

“We stress that negativity will get us nowhere.”

The best feeling: captain

Continued from A23 After the game, Canadian captain Lucy Charuk noted that the last time Canada faced Cuba at the Pan Am Cup in Peru, Cuba came away victorious, “so we’ve had our sights set on this match for the last monthand-a-half. We knew it came down to tonight. We learned so much in the last five months. We love playing at home, it’s just the best feeling.”

Canada earned a spot in the final with dominant wins over Nicaragua Friday (25-13, 25-10, 25-8) and St. Lucia Thursday (25-8, 25-8, 25-8).

The Eagles’ John Wesley (top) was the story of the game Sunday against the Vernon Vipers, scoring all of the Birds’ four goals that game. The team ultimately lost to the Vipers 5-4. Above, Vipers goalie Ty Taylor (left) and defenceman Sol Seibel take on plays by the Eagle Desi Burgart.

Shot at redemption in PG Continued from A23 ly tied for second overall in the BCHL. Only Kale Howarth, a 2017 fifth-round selection of the Columbus Blue Jackets, has more goals with 10 on the year.

Wesley was expected to be a large part of the offence this season. The 20-yearold comes to the Eagles after spending last season with the Vancouver Giants in the WHL. Just to put Wesley’s goals into perspective, his nine goals account for nearly half of the Eagles offence this season. They’ve scored 21 goals as a team, leaving Wesley with 43 per cent of the team’s goal share.

Even though the offence seems lopsided, West believes that there’s more to come from the rest of his team.

“We’re going to be a team that scores by committee. Some of our guys are a little snake-bitten right now. We’ve got some pretty solid players on our team.”

Despite the statistics saying otherwise, there were signs over the weekend that the offence will start to come from elsewhere.

During the Eagles 4-1 victory over the Spruce Kings on Friday, Wesley wasn’t the team’s leading offensive contributor. 18-year-old Desi Burgart scored two goals in the victory, giving him four goals on the season.

The line of Wesley, Burgart and Ty Westgard is leading the team offensively

right now. Westgard is the set-up man on that line with a team-leading eight assists.

Friday’s win was also a well-rounded one for the Eagles. They controlled the game from start to finish, outshooting the Spruce Kings 33-14 in the victory.

“I thought we controlled a lot of the play throughout the game,” said West.

“I was very impressed with our performance.”

The win showed that the Eagles can keep up with some of the league’s better teams. West was disappointed after the Eagles dropped a pair of road games to the Spruce Kings earlier in the season.

West’s team does get a shot at redemption this weekend, as the Eagles will return to the Rolling Mix Concrete Arena in Prince George for two more road games tonight (Friday) and tomorrow. The games will be vital for the Eagles if they want to gain some ground on the division-leading Spruce Kings.

The Spruce Kings lead the Mainland Division with 11 points on the season.

“I was happy with how we responded on Friday night,” said West. “Now, we need to have a good start next Friday night.”

“We need to go up there and take four points, but we’re going to take it one game at a time.”
