First-degree murder charge laid in 2017 shooting death Thursday, the day after police search Country Woods Drive

Manhunt for ‘extremely violent’ suspect Alex Browne Staff reporter

The RCMP Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has confirmed that police activity in the 2700-block of Country Woods Drive last week was part of an ongoing IHIT investigation.

The following afternoon, IHIT issued a plea for public assistance in locating Brandon Teixeira and arresting murder suspect Brandon Nathan Teixeira, 27, who they said is public warning “believed to be extremely violent and

poses a significant risk to public safety.”

IHIT spokesperson Cpl. Frank Jang described last Wednesday’s incident as a “very fast-paced, dynamic situation that involved quite a few officers.”

“We were trying to make an arrest, but it was unsuccessful. We are still out trying to apprehend Mr. Teixeira, and we’re hoping that the public can help us.”

Residents reported the heavy police presence to media Wednesday evening, and described K9 officers searching

properties. Surrey RCMP originally told Global News that the police activity was likely police dog training, but retracted that information the following day.

Jang told Peace Arch News Monday that at no time was Teixeira in police custody.

Teixeira was charged Thursday with first-degree murder in the death of Nicholas Khabra as a result of a shooting on Crescent Road last October.

Teixeira is described as Caucasian, fivefoot-10 and weighing 161 pounds. He

has brown hair and brown eyes, a snake tattoo on the left side of his chest and a sleeve tattoo on his left arm.

Jang warned the public not to approach him, but to call 911 immediately after any sighting.

The shooting of Khabra took place in the early morning hours of Oct. 23, 2017.

Surrey RCMP responded to a report of shots fired in the 14300-block of Crescent Road at 2:10 a.m.

‘Outraged’ residents rally

‘Astonishing that some bonehead with a saw can cut down eagle nest’ Aaron Hinks Staff reporter

About 50 ‘eagles’ flocked to the corner of Croydon Drive and 20 Avenue Sunday to demonstrate “outrage” after an eagle tree was vandalized in July.

Organized by the Hancock Wildlife Foundation, attendees wore paper eagle masks as local biologist David Hancock gave a presentation then led a tour to the nest.

The cottonwood, which is approximately 60 years old, had to be removed by city contractors after someone partially cut through the tree this summer.

“Enough is enough,” Hancock said to the crowd, adding that he’s watched more than 50 eagle trees cut down in the last number of years.

“There is a law, it is the British Columbia Wildlife Act. And it says Continued on A4 Residents gathered near Croydon Drive and 20 Avenue Sunday to draw attention to an eagle’s nest that was destroyed when a tree was unlawfully cut.

Church groups invite White Rock council, Semiahmoo First Nation to ‘Kairos Blanket’ event

Exercise to teach ‘often neglected’ history From first contact to the incorporation of residential schools, the Peninsula United Church and South

Fraser Unitarians are hosting a workshop Thursday to teach a part of Canadian history that is “often neglected.”

The churches, in collaboration with

Indigenous facilitator Malaney GleesonLyall, will host a Kairos Blanket Exercise Thursday from 1-4 p.m. at A Rocha (1620 192 St.).

The exercise is a

teaching tool used to share the historic relationship between Indigenous and nonIndigenous people in Canada.

it seems that arose in the relationship between the City of White Rock and Semiahmoo First Nation. We thought it would be particularly helpful to continue to do these blanket exercises, but also in this particular case, we thought we would invite White Rock city council in addition to everyone else,” McAndlessDavis said, who is a trained facilitator of the Kairos Blanket Exercise.

McAndless-Davis said that blankets are

laid on the ground as a metaphor for land, and every participant is given a colour card and asked to stand on a blanket.

“Generally, people are given a role, which isn’t always apparent until they get further on,” he said.

“At one point, those who have a particular colour card – who have been given that at the beginning of the exercise – are asked to step off because they’ve died of disease, or some will step off the blanket

McAndless-Davis said participants get a very powerful visual representation of what happened.

“You get a physical depiction of what’s happening to First Nations and over the course of the exercise, the blankets get folded and what used to cover the entire floor of the room becomes little pockets where people are crowded.”

Rainbow-crosswalk vandalism ‘a consideration’ in site location

Security cam to keep eye on Five Corners Tracy Holmes Staff reporter

A surveillance camera is coming to White Rock’s Five Corners district.

City communications manager Farnaz Farrokhi confirmed Thursday that “plans are underway to have them installed.” She later said just one camera will be mounted “for now.”

While she couldn’t provide costs – noting the city is still getting quotes – Farrokhi said it’s anticipated the closed-circuit camera (CCTVs) will be operational early this fall.

Vandalism to the city’s rainbow crosswalk – painted in Five Corners in July and defaced with a tire mark less than 24 hours later – was a consideration in the decision to site the camera, she said. (Friday morning, another dark tire mark stretched across the crosswalk.)

“But there were other factors, such as Five

Corners being a major hub for events such as Tour de White Rock, TD Concert Series, as well as pedestrian safety,” she told Peace Arch News by email, noting White Rock has cameras in place at two other sites – its works yard and near Memorial Park – and that the city is not unique in its use of such equipment.

“As you may know, for several years Metro Vancouver cities have installed CCTV cameras for various reasons, such as to assist with improving traffic and pedestrian safety, and improve security over City property,” she said.

“We’ll assess the situation over the coming months and decide if another camera (at Five Corners) is required.”

The use of city-operated CCTVs launched in White Rock six years ago, following a proposal by then-councillor Al Campbell to look at their potential along the waterfront – with a thought

Five Corners’ crosswalk bore a fresh tire mark Friday.

to possibly extending that use elsewhere.

Campbell had said he wanted options explored for the installation of a system to be used as a deterrent and “to gather information to assist in preserving safety and possible video feed of what’s happening in that area.”

“I really believe that here, our pier and promenade… a lot of things are going on down there we’re really not aware of,” Campbell told

PAN at the time. “(Something) will happen one day, and we’ve got to be prepared for something like that.”

He noted they were first introduced in England in the ’70s, and have served to both reduce the drain on police resources and help catch criminals Just one councillor – Helen Fathers, describing the exercise as “a total waste of the time” – opposed having staff look into the cost, necessity and legality of installing the cameras, and city staff returned with a determination that their use along the waterfront could not be justified at that time.

Surveillance cameras were eventually deemed potentially helpful in curbing illegal dumping at the city’s Keil Street works yard, and were installed at that site in the spring of 2013 at a cost of about $13,000.

Accused of killing daughter

Mother in court

Court proceedings for a South Surrey mother charged in the December 2014 death of her eight-year-old daughter got underway in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster this week.

Monday was set for a pre-trial conference in the matter of Lisa Batstone, BC Prosecution Service’s communications counsel Dan McLaughlin told Peace Arch News last week.

Batstone was charged with second-degree murder, after the body of her daughter Teagan was found in the trunk of a car in a cul-de-sac just south of Crescent Road.

Teagan had been a student at Rosemary Heights Elementary.

The month after Teagan’s death, her mother – after a court-ordered “fitness assessment” – was deemed fit to stand trial on the murder charge, however, the proceedings were delayed multiple times over the years.

McLaughlin said voir dire proceedings – to determine admissibility of evidence – are to get underway Oct. 1. The trial, scheduled for Nov. 12 to Dec. 7, is to be heard by judge alone.

Continued from A1 that these trees and eagles are supposed to be protected 12 months a year. Here is a prime example of somebody who just totally, and absolutely disregarded that purely, we believe, for profit,” Hancock said.

He told the gathering he wants to place a pole and build a nest framework in the area, adding that an artificial nest he built in Richmond raised two young eagles this year.

Hancock said he was told by the City of Surrey that he could construct a pole and nest near the Croydon Drive site, but that’s been stalled.

“Since then, it’s been ‘well maybe we better hold off for a moment, we haven’t worked it out with the developer,’” Hancock said. “Well… the point is, is that the developer needs to

work it out with the citizens.

We are not in favour with what has happened.”

Hancock Wildlife Foundation board member Mike Seear told the group that it’s “absolutely outrageous” that someone cut down the nest.

“Apart from the vandalism of this nest, which goes without saying, there is something to say about the broader picture. Not just this eagle’s nest, but what is the value of green space in our urban development. Anyone who sees an eagle is going to talk about it for the rest of the day. Seeing wildlife adds to our lives,” Seear said, noting municipal planning should include green space and wildlife.

“It’s absolutely astonishing that someone, some bonehead with a chainsaw, can cut down

an active eagle nest.”

Conservation officer Alicia Stark told PAN last month that the investigation into who is responsible for the damage remains active, but is complicated by a lack of witnesses.

An application – submitted

by Joe Dhaliwal, according to City of Surrey online documents – to build a mixed retail and office commercial centre on the property received third reading in October 2012. Surrey’s acting manager of the city’s building division Rémi Dubé told PAN last month that it has “been kind of on a holding pattern since July 2017.”

Dubé noted the applicant’s environmental consultant is looking at “opportunities” for the property.

Dhaliwal has not responded to PAN’s requests for comment.

Waterfront project expected to be complete in 2019

Memorial Park delay costs ‘not known’ Aaron Hinks Staff reporter

The City of White Rock will not waive fees associated with a freedom-of-information (FOI) request for city emails relating to a timeline and budget of Memorial Park because the information that would be obtained from the disclosure, the city said, would not result in a public benefit.

Peace Arch News filed an FOI request with the city June 14, asking for “all emails regarding Memorial Park from April 1, 2018 to June 14, 2018.”

After asking for clarification on the request, the city responded Aug. 7, saying that processing the request will take significant time and resources. The city estimated a fee of $710 to fulfill the request, but said the city could waive the fee “if the record relates to a matter of public interest.”

The following day, PAN requested the fee be waived under the “matter of public interest” clause.

The city’s manager of FOI Ken Overton emailed PAN Thursday saying the city would not waive the fee. He wrote that the FOI request is broad enough to encompass records containing more than just information related to the project delays.

“For example, every piece of billing correspondence and invoice would likely be responsive,” he wrote.

Overton told PAN that the disclosure of the emails would not likely result in a “clear answer to your questions.”

According to public city documents, in July

Aaron Hinks photo

The cost of the upgrades to White Rock’s waterfront Memorial Park is not yet known, according to the city.

2017 council awarded the contract for Memorial Park upgrades and pier washrooms to Fricia Construction Inc. to the tune of $4,508,490.

Before the construction delays, the projected was expected to be complete July 2018, and the total estimated cost of the project was $5,548,490.

However, in Overton’s email to PAN this week, he said he’s confirmed with the city’s finance department that the budget – including utility works, pre-servicing the pier, and associated public artwork – sits at $6,497,000.

“The cost of delays is currently not known,” Overton writes.

(The official launch of the project was stalled in September 2017 when Semiahmoo First Nation Chief Harley Chappell and councillors Joanne and Roxanne Charles presented Mayor Wayne Baldwin with a cease-and-desist letter, calling for consultation on the project, which is on SFN ancestral lands.)

Overton said other factors could influence the final figures, including additional delays, changes and time-saving opportunities.

“If anything, it is probably better to avoid potentially misleading anyone trying to draw conclusions from partial information,” he writes, noting the city would have a better understanding of the cost of delays closer to the project completion.

“While much of what the City does can generally be considered related to the public interest, the interpretation of ‘matter of public interest’ in s. 75(5)(b) of FIPPA is usually interpreted quite restrictively, eg. where the information relates to public health and safety or where disclosure of the information would provide a public benefit.”

He said that in the future, before making FOI requests, it’s best that PAN checks the city’s website or contact the communications department.

“It is not clear whether you have reviewed the Memorial Park Project webpage, which has information about the project’s timelines,” he wrote.

The Memorial Park Project web page says the western portion of Memorial Park was completed Aug. 1, and the eastern portion of the park will be open early 2019. However, the same web page says construction of Memorial Park is expected to be completed in the summer of 2018.

City communications manager Farnaz Farrokhi emailed PAN three days before the FOI request was filed, saying that there is “no definite project completion date yet.”

The Memorial Park Project web page does not include information related to the cost of project delays.

Leaping to conclusions

W

hen a city appears to be as politically divided as White Rock, it’s clearly difficult for some not to publicly take sides.

Take White Rock’s Memorial Park, once home to green space, a couple of trees and sun worshipers, sandwiched between parking spaces, a tourism kiosk and malodorous washroom facilities.

Once the city’s plan to renovate the pier-side park area turned the site into a construction zone at the height of this past summer season, supporters of civic leaders and their detractors both made their voices heard online and on the street.

And now that the first steps are taking form – a ‘splash zone’ water feature and ‘flexible plaza space’ – those same commenters are wasting little time in either calling the project a huge success well worth the price or a colossal failure and waste of money.

But unless you’re simply keen to take sides in what has turned into an online tit-for-tat, or you have preconceived notions, it’s still too early to know the end result. Sure, you can point to artists’ conceptions, but as anyone who’s followed development from conception to reality knows, early representations rarely match final projects.

As for the city’s reluctance to grant Peace Arch News’ request to release to the public free of charge city emails over a three-month period that relate to the project’s budget and timeline – under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act – it should be inarguable that such information is in the public interest.

However, in a response to PAN, the city’s FOI manager considers “public interest” this way: “Given that the records you are requesting represent an incomplete accounting of finances and timelines… I am not persuaded that its disclosure would result in a public benefit. If anything, it is probably better to avoid potentially misleading anyone trying to draw conclusions from partial information.”

He certainly has a point. Based on the above example, some do form opinions based on incomplete information. The solution, of course, would be to either make all documents public, or to accept that the majority of non-bureaucrats understand this and be trusted with this information, without leaping to conclusions.

supports going ahead with LRT for the first phase but wants more discussion on future options. Former mayor Doug McCallum, with the Safe Surrey Coalition slate, says LRT will not go ahead if he is in control.

Independent mayoral candidate Imtiaz Popat does not support either LRT or SkyTrain, calling for restoration of interurban service on the former BC Electric interurban line. People First Surrey mayoral candidate Rajesh Jayaprakash opposes LRT and wants SkyTrain instead.

The LRT project has been slow to come to fruition, largely because there was no committed funding. The defeated 2015 referendum on imposing an additional sales tax to pay for transit projects played a big part in that.

A great deal of planning and engineering has already taken place.

To stop the project completely would be a waste of tax dollars. Nonetheless, critics’ traffic concerns are valid, and every possible mitigation factor must be employed when it begins operating.

However, no further LRT lines should be planned until there is a vigorous discussion, facilitated by Surrey council and fully involving the public. Hopefully, the new council will be more open to public engagement and will actually listen to public input.

Clean sweep for power tools Editor:

3) are vetted for psych issues by several references, including spouses; 4) have firearms registered (since 1934, btw) and locked in safes, at known addresses; 5) only transport their (unloaded, cased, double-

locked, registered) handguns to and from federally-approved ranges.

To the point, our involvement in violent crime is statistically zero.

Taking policing away from catching violent criminals in order

to more closely monitor the single most crime-free cohort of Canadian society is a federal Liberal and Surrey mayoral priority.

If you agree, be sure to vote.

Re: Noisemakers on our payroll, Aug. 29 letters.

Kudos to the letter writer complaining about the polluting and deafening leaf blowers that descend upon us like giant nasty hornets.

People have been so worried about the smoke from forest fires lately, but don’t they realize these horrible machines blow petrol fumes, animal fecal matter dust, fungi, mold spores and bacteria right into our homes and lungs on a regular basis?

I feel sorry for the young people using them, as I worry about their future lung health from breathing petrol fumes.

Whatever happened to brooms? I really doubt they are much slower than these deafening machines, and they would add a modicum of peace and cleaner air to our already noisy, polluted world.

Beverley Cunningham, White Rock

Non-criminals in crosshairs Editor: South Surrey-White Rock MP Gordie Hogg’s federal Liberal party contemplates banning handguns.

Surrey mayoral candidates agree (Woods leaves Surrey First over gun stance, Aug. 24).

I write to comment.

This notion is in response to concerns about drug- and gangrelated violence; that is to say, violent criminals.

The federal Liberal solution to this problem is to take police resources away from violent criminals and, instead, have them pester legal target shooters.

This is akin to deciding that in response to concerns about house fires and forest fires, firefighters should be taken off fire trucks and be diverted to repainting fire hydrants in brighter colours – you know, to “raise awareness.”

Or as an analogy for dog owners; “because of growing awareness of coyote problems, licensed dog owners are restricted to leashes of less than one metre.”

Good ideas, right? Right?

The reader might not know that legal handgun owners: 1) have passed two courses, for two licences, under federally-certified instructors; 2) once licensed after the severalmonth waiting period, undergo an RCMP criminal record check daily;

of note

This is akin to deciding that in response to concerns about house fires and forest fires, firefighters should be taken off fire trucks and be diverted to repainting fire hydrants in brighter colours.❞ ❝

A number of letter writers have noted White Rock’s past pier-side restaurant (shown in 1964), given the city’s considerations for the area.

No sense going backward on pier Editor:

Re: Pier restaurant, marina, overpass studied by city, Aug 3.

I’m sure in its heyday starting back in the 1920s, the original restaurant on the pier was a great place to dine and dance. But by the late ’60s, the business and physical structure of Dolphin Café had started to decline.

As the new public health inspector for the area in 1969, it was brought to my attention that a lot of smelly liquid, etc. was falling from the restaurant onto the beach where children were playing and swimming.

Unfortunately, the sewage system for the café had deteriorated beyond repair and the sewage was no longer pumped up hill to the White Rock sewer system but was all ending up on the beach. The cost of a new pumping system to a municipal standard was expensive, and this resulted in the closure of the premises. Within a year or so, the vacant building was destroyed by fire.

So not only would a new restaurant need to install a modern sewage pumping system that would not freeze in winter and would include an emergency backup, but the restaurant would need a connection to the city water system again designed not to freeze and be sufficient in size for restaurant use and fire protection.

Another wrinkle that might be even more problematic is that delivery vehicles can no longer travel along the pier to a restaurant due to the present design and weight restriction, so all supplies in and garbage out would need to be moved in carts by hand.

These problems are not impossible to overcome but make the financial viability in this location unlikely.

Tim Roark, Surrey ••• It’s a beautiful Thursday, and I’m sitting on a bench looking out over Semiahmoo Bay. I have lived here for 70 years and it never fails to make me feel comfortable.

I heard there was an idea to build a restaurant on the pier. What a wonderful idea! It would be so nice to have the building blocking my view to the east from my current vantage point at Memorial Park. There would probably be an abundance of signs and perhaps wire fencing.

There was a restaurant there years ago, and the beach area nearby was covered with refuse – mainly fish and

chip containers, napkins and bottles. I suppose we wouldn’t see that if it was a high-end restaurant, but there would probably still be signage and fencing.

Or, perhaps, there would be delivery service people, with their noisy carts, bumping up and down the pier, or, perhaps, trucks on the pier making deliveries with engines idling and hydraulic lifts operating.

I’m also aware there are some who advocate for an extension of the marina. This would mean a larger number of boats needing gasoline and security docking.

I can hear the rhythmic sound of people carting their belongings back and forth. I can smell gasoline wafting, leaving a lovely rainbow on the surface of the ocean.

When it comes to a restaurant on the pier and an extension of the marina, I’m all for it… NOT! Roger Currie, White Rock ••• Other letters writers have addressed our concerns about a restaurant at the pier foot (Pier restaurant election issue, Aug. 22; Restaurant rumination, Sept 5).

The current marina space is not conducive to increased moorage. Expanding the breakwater would be expensive, i.e. taxing all to benefit a small clientele. A fuelling station would be a maximum hazard.

Semiahmoo Bay and our promenade are designated an Important Bird Area. Millions of waterfowl depend on our shore for food as they migrate to/from the far north.

We are part of a team doing monthly surveys of the waterfront for Bird Studies Canada. In the past decade, we have noted a decrease of brant, harlequin and various sandpipers. Western grebe are now on the Federal list of Special Concern.

Increased marina traffic, not to mention pollution from fuel and other spillage, would be devastating to waterfowl in this sensitive area. Fish, crab and shellfish would also be negatively impacted.

What have the B C Environmental Assessment Office, BC Conservation and Nature Conservancy of Canada said about potential impacts?

We fail to see how the public needs “more experiences and opportunities… to explore and invest in White Rock.” We are already being overdeveloped.

Slate shares same ‘values and principles’

Greaves joins Proudly Surrey Independent mayoral candidate Pauline Greaves has joined the “left-leaning” Proudly Surrey slate for the Oct. 20 election.

“After a series of meetings and careful deliberation, I have decided that the Proudly Surrey team shares

the values and principles I have sought to bring to the race through my mayoral campaign,” Greaves said in a statement released Wednesday.

“In coming together, we are creating a whole that is much greater than the sum

of its parts.”

Greaves, an instructor in the Langara School of Management, declared her candidacy as an independent Aug. 14, but noted at the time that joining a slate was “under consideration.”

The City of White Rock’s first all-candidates forum has been announced, but it’s possible that not every candidate will get an opportunity to participate.

The Peninsula Homeless to Housing (PH2H) task force announced at its regular monthly meeting Friday that it is to host an all-candidates forum Oct. 9 at Church of the Holy Trinity, 7 p.m. The event is to have a focus on affordability and housing.

However, organizers noted that the growing list of candidates – an unofficial count is up to 22 candidates as of Sunday – may be difficult to accommodate.

“It’s an impossible number to deal with at an all-candi-

dates meeting,” PH2H member Peter Greenwell told task force members.

The group briefly discussed how they could accommodate all of the candidates, with opening introductions plus an opportunity to answer questions.

PH2H member Pat Petrala suggested that one option would be to invite all independent candidates to the Q&A forum, but require slates (Democracy Direct and White Rock Coalition) to nominate one representative to participate.

PH2H chairman Rick Bayer put together a committee to create rules for the event, and create a list of questions for the candidates.

“It’s interesting how complex civic elections are,” Bayer said to the group. “For somebody

who has just lived here for three years, this whole idea of coalitions and sending a rep to represent your group… For a small city, this level of complexity…”

Residents of cities across B.C. go to the polls Oct. 20.

The task force, which is a volunteer-based group operating on a limited budget, also discussed how it could secure funding for the work they do.

“We don’t need a lot of money to operate, but we need some money to operate,” Bayer told members.

Leading up to the all-candidates forum, the group has put together a sponsorship package.

Police speak to a driver caught speeding in front of Peace Arch Elementary Sept. 4 – the day school started.

‘Unreal’ number of speed violations logged in four days

RCMP hand out 147 tickets Tracy Holmes Staff reporter

Police in White Rock were shaking their heads last week after issuing nearly 150 tickets to drivers flouting the rules of the road in school zones.

Const. Chantal Sears said 147 citations – 78 for speeding – were handed out over four days of enforcement conducted around White Rock and Peace Arch elementaries.

The number is nearly quadruple that issued in the first week of school last

year, she said.

“I think we were around 40 for the four days,” Sears told Peace Arch News by email Friday, of the 2017 statistics.

“This is unreal.”

The presence – consisting of officers and volunteers in reflective yellow vests, as well as marked police cars – was planned as a not-so-subtle reminder to drivers that the reduced 30 km/h speed limits are back, and that extra attention is needed on the roads to help keep kids and their parents safe.

Sears said one driver who was ticketed in front of Peace Arch Elementary was surprised to learn that school was back in, and that they were actually in front of a school.

School-zone speed limits are in effect from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday. The same limit applies from dawn to dusk in park zones.

ICBC statistics show that 51 kids in the Lower Mainland are injured each year while in school and playground zones.

The Tong Louie YMCA and Surrey Sport & Leisure Complex will host pilot programs through a B.C. Healthy Family Living Program, aiming to combat childhood obesity rates and create “healthy habits.”

“We know it’s really important That’s according to Dr. Tom to teach children and their families Warshawski, pediatrician and about healthy eating, and healthy chair of the Childhood Obesity living,” he said.

our dietary options aren’t great.

“Newer Canadians can be somewhat naive. What we have here in North America is great but when it comes to what we eat, it’s not that great.”

The two 10-week pilot programs in Surrey – one that is soon launching at the Tong Louie YMCA and another at the Surrey Sport and Leisure Complex – focus on healthy lifestyle habits for the whole family.

And, it’s free.

“There will be one session at a site, per week, and then there’s an hour of homework to be done by the parents whenever they can fit it in,” Warshawski said. “We’re looking for a minimum of eight families (per location) and can go up to 15.”

Weekly sessions will include a games played together, then the parents and kids will break off.

“The parents stay and the kids go play some fun games, and get a little bit of healthy eating messaging.

Then come back altogether to

round up learnings from the day and reinforce things, sum it up,” he explained.

“So a lot about healthy eating, a lot about how to be physically active in a fun way, about how to have family meals together, cooking and playing together, and a lot of positive body imaging,” he added, noting there are a lot of unhealthy and unattainable body images in the media that children see.

“A lot of kids feel bad about that, there’s a lot of fat shaming out there. We’re not about that.

We’re all about feeling good about yourself,” while working on creating healthy habits.

Meal time, said Warshawski, is not just about nutritional wellness, but mental as well.

“It’s an opportunity for parents and kids to sit down and talk about their day. Kids don’t always spill their guts. It’s the times when you least expect it, and if you set up meal time as a clear time to talk about things, it just goes so far.”

This pilot is the successor to a

“Mend” program that ran from 2013-17.

“It wasn’t quite a good fit for B.C.,” Warshawski said. “So the province asked us to develop a made-in-B.C. program that I dare say is an improvement on the Mend program in a few ways.”

That program, he said, tended to talk about weight a lot.

“We don’t need to do that,” he said.

“There’s no gain in talking about that, and people are sensitive about it. It’s really about the habits.”

In all, the pilot programs are being offered in 10 B.C. communities this fall, and Warshawski said the hope is to make it available in up to 30 communities in the future.

“The families and their children are going to help us identify what really works well, and what areas of the program need fine-tuning,” he said.

environment. Here are a few steps you can take to reassure yourself: • Use a local realtor who has personal knowledge Laura Thibeault of the different neighborhoods to guide you.

Realtor® • Check local crime statistics. I subscribe to the South Surrey RCMP site that provides maps of break-in and theft locations on a monthly basis.

• Look for Block Watch signage. If the area has an active Block Watch, it’s likely there’s a proactive, cooperative group of neighbors that make a practice of looking out for one another.

• Drive around the neighborhood; look for signs of vandalism.

• Talk to people nearby on the street. There’s nothing better than a quick chat to give you a good feel for the neighborhood.

Children’s eyecare can sometimes be ‘overlooked’ due to many eye conditions not being apparent.

The eyes may feel and appear normal. Parents can feel reassured by a home vision test; and not knowing any different, children accept poor vision as normal and fail to report the problem.

Due to modern lifestyles leading to increased time spent in front of digital devices, we are seeing more children facing vision problems.

Surprisingly, 1 in 4 children have a vision disorder! Amblyopia is a serious eye condition which if left untreated, can Dr Bains affect eyesight permanently. The good news is that most conditions can be easily addressed if detected at an early stage through regular eye examinations.

We recommend starting your child on an early vision care program at the age of 6 months and then yearly intervals. The exam includes a check of: Vision, Prescription, Eye Muscles, Eye Health, Pupil Reactions, 3D Vision, Colour Vision, Family and Birth history as well as a Lifestyle Evaluation.

80% of learning is accomplished through vision, so with children back to school, booking your child’s eye exam is a great first step in looking after your child’s eye health.

He or she doesn’t need to know how to read, speak or even sit for long! Our Computerised Vision Chart from the UK has a range of child friendly pictures and tests for all ages. And our warm and friendly atmosphere along with our experienced staff will make your child feel comfortable.

Prevention is better than cure… Our goal is promote healthy vision through regular examinations, and we offer advice on diet, lifestyle reducing the chances of needing glasses for children and teenagers.

Travel Professional interested in booking a cruise Q: Iforamnext Spring and am currently

dealing directly with the cruise line. How do I know if I am getting the best value? Is there any cost if I make my reservation through a travel agency?

A:

No, it would not cost anything to have a professional travel agent work with the cruise line on your behalf. Agents are in the business of Kelly working with their clients to arrange and confirm travel Senior Cruise and arrangements, and they deal with cruise lines every Travel Consultant day. Experienced Travel Consultants will be aware of the most recent cruise line promotions, and know what questions to ask in order to get the best value for your cruise… whether it’s shipboard credits, free beverage packages, early booking benefits, complimentary gratuities, and more. They can also be very useful sources of information about ships, destinations, and which cruise lines are most appropriate for the type of vacation you are looking for. They can advise on shore excursions, and can often find better value than booking tours and hotels through the cruise line. And if you have already paid a deposit on your cruise, your travel consultant can still help… the cruise lines will allow your agent to “take over” the reservation so that they can continue to work with you to make your vacation a memorable success! And all at no additional cost to you.

can I transition into Fall Q: How if the weather is still hot? of the best ways to do this is A: One with colour. Exchange the bright

and citrus shades of Summer for the warm and woodsy shades of Fall. Wine and navy are great transition shades and grey mixes effectively with white, pale pink and Janie powder blue. Collections such as Part Two and Sandwich offer t-shirts and tops in these colours and when paired with jeans, sneakers and a jean jacket are a great look!

Button up shirts are valuable transition pieces. The sleeves can be worn down in the morning and rolled up in the afternoon. Shirts can be worn as a jacket over a tank top or buttoned up and worn under a cozy cardigan. Floral and mixed prints work well with coloured jeans and booties. A crisp white shirt looks great under a blazer - which has so many uses. Purchase pieces that can be used multiple ways as the weather changes and above all, enjoy the transition!!

BCHL squad loses to Express, Wild

Expansion junior ‘B’ hockey squad hits ice in White Rock

Eagles fall at home Nick Greenizan Staff reporter

The opening of the BC Hockey League season didn’t quite go as planned for the Surrey Eagles last weekend, as the junior ‘A’ squad dropped its first two games of the regular season on home ice.

On Friday night at South Surrey Arena, the Birds lost 4-2 to their division rivals, the Coquitlam Express, and on Saturday, dropped a 6-3 decision to the Wenatchee Wild, who are the defending BCHL champs.

In the season opener against Coquitlam, the visitors wasted little time opening the scoring, as Express forward Joshua Wildauer scored just 12 seconds into the game. The slim, onegoal lead held until early in the second period, when Eagles’ newcomer – and former member of the Express – Eric Linell scored against his former team, with Cody Shiavon and team captain Ty Westgard picking up assists.

A flurry of goals followed before the second intermission, and the 1-1 deadlock lasted less than a minute, however, as Chase Danol – the player that Surrey dealt to Coquitlam in exchange for Linell – scored his first goal with his new club to restore the visiting squad’s one-goal lead.

Four minutes later, Surrey rookie Jason Chu scored his first goal of his BCHL career – with fellow newcomers Michael McCosh and Brayden Shaw picking up assists – before Express defenceman Kabir Gill, a White Rock native and former captain of the Valley West Hawks, potted his first career junior ‘A’ goal, on the power play, to boost his new club’s lead to 3-2.

In the third period, Surrey pulled goalie Seth Eisele in favour of an extra-attacker in an attempt to tie the game, but Christian Sanda scored into the empty cage to seal the Damon James photo win for Coquitlam.

Continued on A22 Surrey Eagle Eric Linell (right) collides with Coquitlam Express forward Connor Gregga Friday at South Surrey Arena.

Whalers lose first games Nick Greenizan Staff reporter

For the first time since 1989 – when the team played in the nowdefunct West Coast Junior Hockey League – White Rock Whalers stepped onto the ice at Centennial Arena for a regular-season junior ‘B’ tilt.

On Saturday night, the Pacific Junior Hockey League expansion franchise lost its season-opener to the Richmond Sockeyes 4-3, and on Sunday, travelled north to Burnaby, where they dropped a 3-2 decision to the Grandview Steelers.

“It was good – there was a good atmosphere (at the rink), and I thought we competed hard,” said Whalers head coach Jason Rogers.

The new team – which was born back in May, and is owned by longtime South Surrey businessman Ronnie Paterson – had ample opportunity to earn victories in each of the one-goal weekend defeats.

Against Richmond, Surrey native Calder Newson, also a former Sockeye, scored the first goal of the Whalers’ season, potting a powerplay goal 12:55 into the first period.

The Sockeyes responded less than two minutes later, however, and the game was knotted at 1-1 after 20 minutes of play.

In the second, Richmond took a 2-1 lead on a goal from Brice Kemp, Continued on A23

Peace Arch News

Notice of a Public Hearing – Monday, September 17, 2018 NOTICE is hereby given that the Council of the City of White Rock will hold a Public Hearing in the City Hall Council Chambers, 15322 Buena Vista Avenue, White Rock, BC, on MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2018 at 7:00 p.m. in accordance with the Local Government Act. At the Public Hearing, all persons who deem their interest in property is affected by the proposed Bylaw shall be afforded an opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions reflecting matters contained in the proposed application that is the subject of the Public Hearing.

BYLAW NO. 2249: White Rock Zoning Bylaw, 2012, No. 2000, Amendment (CD-23 – 1456 Johnston Road) Bylaw, 2018, No. 2249 CIVIC ADDRESS:

1456 Johnston Road (See Site Map below)

PURPOSE: Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 2249 proposes to amend the existing CD-23 Zone to allow for a six storey, mixed-use building at 1456 Johnston Road that includes ground floor office use, twelve secured rental apartments, and seventeen stratified condos to be secured as rental for a period of ten years (29 units total).

The CD-23 Zone applies to two properties, 1455 George Street (the ‘Avra’ building approved in 2010 and constructed in 2013), which has already been built and occupied, and 1456 Johnston Road. Bylaw 2249 reflects the existing building and permitted uses at 1455 George Street, and for 1456 Johnston Road proposes to change what has been previously approved for this property. These proposed changes include increasing the permitted number of units from four to twenty-nine, the building height from two storeys to six storeys, lot coverage from 48% to 68.7%, and the construction of two levels of underground parking.

A Housing Agreement Bylaw (No. 2250) to secure the rental tenure of the housing and a Development Permit to regulate the form and character of the proposed building (DP. No. 416) are also required for this proposal, but do not require a Public Hearing.

Eagles to take on Chiefs Sunday

Continued from A21 “I’m just happy we got the win today.

Scoring my first goal in first game was exciting, but the only important thing to me was getting the win,” Gill said after the Express victory, in an interview posted to the team’s Twitter account.

“But it was really cool – all my family was here today because I live down the street.”

On Saturday, the Eagles squared off against Wenatchee – who, like the Eagles, are adjusting after substantial off-season roster turnover, with a handful of new players.

Westgard – who was named captain last week, replacing recently traded Jordan Robert, who

wore the ‘C’ last season – opened the scoring with a one-timer from the side boards, and the Eagles led 1-0 heading in the first intermission.

Things went sideways for Surrey in the middle frame, however, as the two team combined for seven goals – five of them from Wenatchee.

Wild’s Cristophe Tellier scored 5:07 into the period, and Westgard replied with his second of the game just 36 seconds later, depositing the rebound past Wild netminder Austin Park, who had made the original stop on Linell, who had been sprung on a breakaway.

The one-goal cushion was erased

less than two minutes later, however, when Ryan Wilson beat Eisele – who played last year in Wenatchee – to tie the game 2-2.

Eagles’ Matteo Pecchia scored his first goal of the season midway through the period to restore the Eagles lead, because the visiting American squad scored three straight goals before the buzzer – two from Christophe Fillion and one from Chad Sasaki.

Murphy Stratton scored the lone goal of the third period – into an empty Surrey net – to pad the lead.

Though they played together as a unit for part of the preseason, Eagles’ head coach Peter Schaefer – who came aboard as an

OPEN HOUSE

NICOMEKL RIVERFRONT PARK OPEN HOUSE What’s important to you in shaping Surrey’s longest riverfront park?

Join us at the park open house to help plan the future 3km Nicomekl Riverfront Park.

This unique riverfront park is being planned in South Surrey, stretching from Elgin Road to 40th Avenue along the south side of the Nicomekl River.

The goal of this planning initiative is to develop a park management plan and park concept plan that combine environment, culture, art, heritage, recreation and social spaces.

Staff will be available to provide information about the project, receive community feedback and answer questions. The information gathered at this meeting will be used to develop the management plan and concept plan.

Date and Location: Place: South Surrey Recreation and Arts Centre – Turnbull Gallery 14601 20 Avenue, Surrey Date: Monday, September 24, 2018 Time: 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m If you have any questions please email nicomeklriverfront@surrey.ca or call 604-501-5050. We look forward to hearing from you.

assistant coach late in the summer, and was thrust into the top job with the sudden, late-August departure of former head coach Brandon West – chose to split up three of his top forwards in Westgard, Linell and Chase Stevenson.

Westgard and Linell played together on one line, with Stevenson on another, in an attempt to spread out the offensive talent.

Though Schaefer – who could not be reached by Peace Arch News this week – said recently that the plan could change as the season moves forward.

“I’m not sure there is a first and second line,” he said in an interview with team broadcaster Greg Balloch before the team’s season opener.

“When you have three great players – there’s only one puck out there… and (now) if you shut down one line, you have another one.

And we have a third line that can score, too.

“We’ll see how it goes – we’re open for change. We’re just going to try things.”

Surrey now hits the road for much of the rest of the month.

The team took on the Merritt Centennials Tuesday after Peace Arch News’ press deadline, and this weekend will head to Chilliwack for a Sunday game against the Chiefs.

Late addition Though he didn’t arrive in South Surrey in time for the team’s seasonopening weekend, defenceman Riley Hayles was acquired from the Salmon Arm Silverbacks for future considerations.

The 20-year-old defenceman, and Delta native, scored eight goals and added 31 assists in 95 career games with

Ultimate league extended PAR for the COURSE Tom Zillich Black Press Media

Surrey Ultimate League’s fun with Frisbees is stretching into fall.

The increasing local popularity of the discthrowing sport has led to the creation of a new “turf league” at Newton Athletic Park, and additional players are sought – especially women.

“End your fall weekends with some fun exercise and the opportunity to meet new ultimate friends,” says a post, titled “Fall Turf in Surrey,” on Vancouver Ultimate League’s website (vul.ca).

“The fast-paced 5-on-5 format ensures players stay warm even on cooler nights, and the artificial turf fields

means no cancellations due to poor weather.”

The co-ed action will happen on Sunday evenings for 11 weeks starting Sept. 16, from 8 to 10 p.m. on Field 2 at the 128th Street park. Fees start at $60 for a single player.

“For the past few years we’ve run a summer league, but for the first time we’re running an ultimate league in the fall,” said Kristine Salzmann, a regional league co-ordinator for Vancouver Ultimate League Society.

It’s a “hat” league in Newton this fall, meaning players are assigned to teams as if their names were drawn from a hat. League officials do their best to ensure skill levels are balanced so games are as close as possible.

The fall league has been moved from New Westminster to Newton this year, employing a five-onfive format on the width of the soccer field, rather than length.

“The league is co-ed, for ages 17-plus,” explained Salzmann, who lives in South Surrey and plays the sport with her husband.

“Participants can register as a single, or with friends as a pair or trio.”

During the summer, more than 225 participants played on 16 teams at fields at the South Surrey and Cloverdale athletic parks, she said.

Questions about the league can be directed to Salzmann via email sent to surrey@vul. ca

Continued from A21 and went up 4-1 by the midway point of the third period before the Whalers got back on the board.

With less than seven minutes to go in the game, White Rock’s Logan Webber scored his first of the season – with assists to Hayden Drance and Gregory Porter – and Saul Khalifa brought the score to 4-3 late, when he scored with just 11 seconds left on the clock.

Matthew Rogers picked up two assists in the loss, and goaltender Zachary Everett was busy in the crease, stopping 45 shots.

At Burnaby Winter Club Sunday night, it was the Steelers who scored first, with Emerson Kostner potting a power-play goal 3:32 into the game to give the home team the lead. Grandview led 2-0 after the first period, and the scoreboard stayed that way until midway through the second period, when the Whalers got on the board courtesy of a powerplay goal from Drew Williams, with Leland Konrath and Ryan Kong picking up assists.

The two teams traded goals in the third, with the Steelers’ tally coming from Kyle Forbes and White Rock’s coming off the stick of Webber, with Newson picking up the assist.

“We got five goals (in two games) from four different goal-scorers, including two guys who weren’t in the league last year, so that’s a positive for us,” Rogers said.

Everett was once against between the pipes

for White Rock, making 22 saves.

“Zach was really good for us – he gave us an opportunity (to win) both games,” the coach added.

White Rock’s neighbouring squad, the Surrey Knights – who went two seasons without a win and whose owner/coach sued the league last spring for alleged discrimination – also opened the 2018/19 PJHL season with a loss.

Last Thursday, the Knights dropped a 9-1 decision to the Port Moody Panthers at the North Surrey Recreation Centre.

The Panthers were up 3-0 in the first period before the Knights scored their lone goal of the game, on a Takumi Sakai shot. Assists were given to Amraj Gill and Parker Leiper.

Naveen Kainth took the loss after making 46 saves in the Knights’ net.

Michael Milosavljevic netted a hat-trick for the Panthers.

With John Craighead back behind the bench after serving a league-imposed suspension, the Knights are aiming to bounce back from a tough 2017-18 season that saw the team win one game.

Next up for the Knights is another home game Thursday against Richmond, followed by road battles Saturday in White Rock against the Whalers, and Sunday against Grandview.

CITY’S CARBON FOOTPRINT ELIMINATED

TREES PLANTED ON STREETS, PARKS AND PUBLIC PLACES. $15.5 MILLION WORTH OF NEWLY ACQUIRED PARKLAND.

COMMITTED INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT (ROADS, PARKS, AND FACILITIES)

WITH THE COMPLETION OF BIOFUEL FACILITY

MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR In my time as your mayor and 3-term councillor, I have had the privilege to be part of the tremendous transformation of Surrey. Our city centre has become a destination for multinational companies, higher education and tourism. With no new mass transit infrastructure in Surrey for more than 20 years, we are now poised to begin construction on the first phase of Surrey Light Rail that will connect Newton with city centre and Guildford. New Sport and Ice Complexes are under construction in North Surrey and Cloverdale, a new community centre is underway for the growing Clayton neighbourhood and a new athletic park along with a new Sport and Ice Complex is in the works for Grandview Heights in South Surrey.

As Surrey continues to rise in stature, the importance of protecting our environment is equally paramount. This past spring, we opened

North America’s first closed-loop waste-toenergy system with the Biofuel Facility located in Port Kells. This landmark development not only minimizes our waste going to landfills, but it also completely eliminates the City’s corporate carbon footprint of 17,000 tonnes per year.

When you factor in that we planted over 16,000 trees on streets, parks and public places and acquired $15.5 million worth of new parkland we are balancing growth while protecting our environment.

The Report to Citizens, which I respectfully submit to you, is a snapshot of the progress over the last 12 months we continue to make. There is no question that Surrey’s success is a result of our collective efforts. The pride that each of you takes in our city is a major contribution to our success and why Surrey continues to thrive and grow.

As we start a new chapter I wish to thank all those I’ve worked alongside, especially to retiring Councillors Judy Villeneuve and Mary Martin who did a tremendous job in taking action towards all the very best they wanted to see in our community.

It has been an honour and a privilege to serve as your Mayor.

Sincerely,

Linda Hepner, Mayor

COMMUNITY SAFETY  In its first year of operation, over 250 camera locations were voluntarily registered to Project IRIS to assist RCMP by utilizing evidence captured from private camera footage.

 The Mustang Justice Program, led by L.A. Matheson teacher Annie Ohana, was the recipient of the Mayor’s Award for Fostering Civic Responsibility. $10,000 was awarded to assist the program with empowering youth to better themselves and their communities.

 The Surrey Fire Service are checking residential smoke alarms and installing them for free when they are found not to be working. On average the City completes 1,200 checks each month.

In the first half of 2018, the Surrey Fire Service installed over 450 smoke alarms.  In the eight weeks since the RCMP Gang Enforcement team’s expansion, officers have completed over 350 street checks which included over 950 people and 280 vehicles believed to be associated to gang and criminal activity. As a result, 156 violation tickets have been issued, 43 charges have been laid, and 7 vehicles have been seized along with vast amounts of intelligence gathered on multiple individuals.

FACTS The planned LRT for Surrey will put 195,000 more people within walking distance of rapid transit.

 The City received a $500,000 sponsorship in support of the TD Explore Zone at Museum of Surrey, a children’s exhibition that uses fun, immersive and interactive activities and displays to tell the story of sustainable and responsible stewardship of our environment and communities.  The City hosted four “Pop Up Junk Drop Events” this summer. Residents dropped off 1,000 tonnes of waste at no cost, keeping our streets and properties clean. Where possible, items were sorted for re-use and recycling, ensuring maximum diversion from landfills.  LRT ridership projections are pegged at 42,000 to 46,000 per day upon opening in 2024, that’s thousands of cars off roads helping to reduce traffic congestion and keep Surrey moving.  The City developed a Coastal Flood Adaptation Strategy (CFAS) to help our coastal communities become more resilient by directly engaging with residents on how to adjust to rising sea levels that cover over 20% of our city.

Mooney said part of Sources’ strength is that it started as “a real grassroots organization.”

“Somebody saw areas in which a little more community involvement would be important,” she said.

And such programs, White noted, rely on volunteers. They are an “essential part” of the organization, he said.

White said Sources’ breadth today is what stands out for him.

“It’s sort of the unknown background stuff, just how many different kinds of services the organization provides,” he said.

and Cornerstone Care (2017) societies. Each would bring their own staff, volunteers and organizational cultures, and each would influence the course of Sources.

The growth of the range of services delivered by Sources strengthened the agency. It provided staff the opportunity to support people in more integrated ways, reducing the challenges associated with many social issues, including poverty, trauma, abuse and disability.

The new name and associated identifiers created a recognizable and reliable brand. Investments in social and mainstream media, as well as newsletters and bulletins, have helped to establish a face for Sources within a crowded landscape.

As Sources enters its fifth decade, it is timely again to re-imagine the approach to serving community in the future. A recent “refresh” of the Sources logo for its 40th anniversary depicts a bolder, more confident organization that has taken flight and is now destined to achieve more.

This is but a small step, but who knows what will emerge during the upcoming journey?
