Pandemic

Nurses plead with public to follow COVID-19 rules Amy Reid amy.reid@surreynowleader.com

“Extremely anxious” and “burnt out” nurses are pleading with the public to do its part as hospitalizations related to COVID-19 climb across the

province amid the second wave.

“Nurses are not robots, they’re not machines, they’re human beings that need to rest and recover in order to safely provide care,” said Christine Sorensen, president of BC Nurses’ Union.

An increasing number of nurs-

es have either contracted the virus or have to self-isolate due to COVID, she noted, “which is only pulling more nurses out of the health care system leaving more work for fewer nurses.”

Policing

New chief says Surrey Police Service will be a ‘clean canvas’ for community ‘It’s the best job in policing in Canada right now,’ says Norm Lipinski Tom Zytaruk, Lauren Collins Now-Leader staff

Chief Constable Norm Lipinski, who will serve as the fledgling Surrey Police Service’s first boss, is a veteran cop who has donned both the red serge and uniform of a municipal police officer.

“I think it’s fair to say that we are in a new era of policing, and what that means to me first and foremost, is a community policing model,” Lipinski said after the Surrey Police Board publicly introduced him in his new role last Friday.

Lipinski, who has been a police officer for 25 years, cut his teeth on developing and implementing a “strong community-based policing model” with the Edmonton Police before joining the RCMP, where he says he learned about “relationship policing.”

He most recently served as deputy chief of the Delta Police Department and was also chairman of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police’s ethics committee and participated in the first-ever study of ethics in Canadian policing.

He left the Edmonton Police, at the rank of deputy chief, to serve as Assistant Commissioner with the RCMP, as district commander for the Lower Mainland.

He was also the Criminal Oper-

Norm Lipinski, the Surrey Police Service’s first chief, during the announcement of his new role with the force on Friday (Nov. 20). (Photo: surreypoliceboard.ca) ations Officer for E-Division for five years, spending much of his time in uniform and operations.

The Delta Police website states Lipinski has a “proven track record for progressive police practices, community engagement, and positive labour relations” and that a “ hallmark of his success has been the building of strong teams.”

Asked why he wants the Surrey job, Lipinski replied, “I think it’s the best job in policing in Canada right now.”

“The ability to, I’ll say, have a clean canvas and build the police department with the community, I think is very, very attractive. I have a certain vision, a certain model in mind. But before I do anything, it will be consultation with the police board and consultation with the community.”

Surrey Mayor Doug McCallum said Lipinski will usher this city into a “new era of modern and progressive policing while staying attuned to the priorities of this

growing community.

“In this time of global pandemic and rising awareness of diversity, representation and equity in policing,” McCallum said, the Surrey Police Service “will have a leader who understands the challenges before us and has the expertise and the skills to take us into a new era.”

Asked if Lipinski’s RCMP background melds with his vision of a city police force, McCallum said it’s a “huge advantage,” adding it’s a “transition period” and both forces will have to work together “for the safety of Surrey.”

Lipinski agreed his background with the RCMP will potentially help to ease the transition.

“It’s important when you do a transition of this nature to be able to work closely together and understand the processes on either side of the fence. In doing that, it’s very difficult. It’s a different system. It’s a federal system and having the advantage of

understanding that will facilitate and speed up the transition.”

Surrey RCMP Assistant Commissioner Brian Edwards congratulated Lipinski on his new job but also reminds Surrey residents that “at this time, the RCMP continues to maintain responsibility for policing in Surrey.

The transition of police services is a long and complex process, particularly for a detachment of our size.”

Edwards said the Surrey RCMP will “continue to manage operations until the Municipal Police Unit Agreement has been terminated or replaced with another agreement.”

Meantime, Wake Up Surrey organizer Sukhi Sandhu says Lipinski is the right guy to lead the Surrey Police Service.

“What I really admire is he has a mix of leadership roles in municipal policing and also with the RCMP,” Sandhu said, “and also in terms of building, working in municipalities where there is great diversity.”

Wake Up Surrey is a Surrey grassroots movement aiming to find long-term solutions to stop gang violence on the city’s streets.

Asked if he thinks there’s disappointment in the South Asian community that Surrey Police Service’s first police chief is not South Asian, Sandhu replied, “If anyone in our South Asian community is trying to push that narrative, it’s very short-sighted, it’s very offensive and it’s lacking any base.

“I’m not a big proponent of symbolic diversity,” Sandhu told the Now-Leader.

ENGAGE Pandemic

Fraser Health denies SMH ICU is full Continued from A1 “We are committed to providing the best quality care we can, and delivering patient care that is needed but there are too few of us. Nurses are getting sick – whether that’s becoming physically ill or getting psychologically impacted by this pandemic,” she said.

Sorensen said during a recent weekend at Surrey Memorial Hospital, they were “desperately pre-booking shifts.”

“They are putting out call after call for nurses to go in and support their colleagues and these are nurses who have been working extended shifts already, and who are desperately needing those days of break in between their shifts to recover.”

By Tuesday (Nov. 24), there were 941 new cases, with 678 of those in the Fraser Health region.

There were 10 additional deaths, bringing the total to 358 provincewide since the start of the pandemic.

There are 284 people are hospitalized, with 61 of those in ICU. In Fraser Health, 166 people are currently hospitalized, with 36 of those in ICU. Fraser Health has 5,734 of the province’s 7,732 active cases, as of Tuesday.

Sorensen urged the public to abide by public health restrictions and to stay home if sick, to ease pressure on the system before it hits a breaking point.

“We will get to a place where we do not have enough ICU beds, or hospital beds in general, and physicians will need to prioritize the most vulnerable patients and the most likely to recover from COVID for ICU beds. That’s a really difficult position for health care staff to be in. That is the moral distress that they face. It is a reality of the health care system when it’s under severe distress,” said Sorensen.

While Fraser Health says Surrey Memorial Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit isn’t full, Sorensen said the union had “heard

from nurses that the Surrey ICU is at capacity” and “really can’t manage an additional influx of patients.”

“The emergency room (at Surrey Memorial Hospital) is also seeing an influx in the number of patients coming in with COVID who are not only needing to be treated in the emergency room but be admitted to hospital or into the ICU,” Sorensen said.

“It is a designated site to care for some of the most complex patients related to COVID in the Fraser Health region.”

In an emailed statement, Fraser Health told the Now-Leader the ICU in Surrey “continues to have capacity for patients who need that level of care” and “less than half of the patients in the intensive care unit are there for health reasons related to COVID-19.”

The health authority would not say how many beds the Surrey Memorial Hospital’s ICU has, how many are occupied or how many cases are COVID-related.

When the Now-Leader asked for that information, Fraser Health replied in an email with: “We don’t provide that level of data.”

Capacity and resources aside, Sorensen said nurses across the province are “burning out.”

“They are exhausted and they see no end in sight.”

Sorensen says roughly 80 per cent of nurses report being concerned about contracting the virus, and she decried inadequate staffing levels and a “lack of unfettered access to personal protective equipment.”

Meantime, Surrey school district Superintendent Jordan Tinney said the district had issued more than 220 exposure notices as of Monday.

“Yes, COVID is ramping up, our cases are on the rise and we all know that Surrey is a specific hotspot,” he noted. “We all know that this means that COVID will be in our schools and work sites … No site is immune.”

The Bear Creek Christmas train won’t be running this year.

Posted to the Bear Creek Park Train & Mini Golf Facebook page Friday night (Nov. 20), it states the organizers are “sad to say” the train will be closed this holiday season.

“Even though Fraser Health regulations permit us to operate, we feel it’s safer for the public to remain closed during this time,” the post reads.

“Thank you for understanding. Have a safe Christmas.”

Jassy Kaur, the owner of the train, said this would be the first time the Christmas train isn’t running.

“It was a very difficult decision. Trust me,” she told the Now-Leader Saturday morning (Nov. 21).

While Kaur said there were “zero” COVID-19 cases during the Halloween train run, she said, “Just because of the number of cases that are going up, we felt like it was just safer for the public.

“It’s not always about the profit.”

Christmas Bureau’s Adopt-A-Family program is still running this year.

“We have a limited crew working in that department, they’re working out of my admin office so they’re distanced away from us. We normally have eight ladies who man that department, but there’s just two this year. They’re working as fast as they can,” she said.

For that program this year amid the pandemic, Werring said the bureau is “advising sponsors to do no-contact delivery, kind of like Door Dash or Skip the Dishes.”

“Some of them have had some fun ideas, similar to the ‘wine ninja’ thing,” she chuckled. “Some are thinking they’ll dress up in costume, deliver the package, ring the bell, back up, sing a Christmas carol and all that.”

“We’re just encouraging everyone to stay safe,” she said. “It’s been a challenging season to say the least,” Werring added. “Every day is a new adventure.”

Model breaks down spending Continued from A1 Model said there is a “projected positive balance” of $16.4 million “which will carry forward to fund expenses in 2021.”

She said the key categories of expenditures involve infrastructure (information management and information technology), legal, finance and policy advice, strategic communication, recruitment and staffing for the police transition team, and establishment costs for the board.

“The expenses outlined include both capital and operating expenditures, with most capital expenditures occurring in the infrastructure, IM and IT,” Model said.

“Many categories of expenses did not incur costs in the first half of the year due to the later-than-expected appointment of the board and as a result they’re showing a positive variance on the expected budget,” Model said.

“For example, recruitment expenses for the transitional recruiting unit. Now some areas were able to be advanced more quickly, including the complex advice from legal, policy and financial advisors who provided independent expertise to the project, strategic communications activity completed to date, and the purchase of necessary capital equipment, fleet and IT.” The board also set a $500,000 “spending authority” for Chief Constable Norm Lipinski, related to operational expenditures.

“It is further recommended that expenditures in excess of $500,000 be forwarded to the Finance Committee for authorization,” Model writes in her report to the board.

DEBATE

Our view

We expect integrity from leaders

I

ntegrity is like sweet water cupped in your hands.

Open your fingers, and it’s gone forever.

Sadly, people don’t seem to expect much from their politicians these days. But that doesn’t give our elected officials licence to stoop to that low standard.

The Surrey Safe Coalition has unfortunately done just that with its social media attack on Surrey First Councillor Linda Annis, for having the temerity to disagree with the city’s draft budget.

The slate, which dominates city council business with five

of nine votes in chambers, ran an attack ad on its Twitter account and Facebook page that contains a doctored photo of her holding up a written message she never held, and a partial quote attributed to her that’s both out of date and out of context (See story page 13).

Well, politics is a dirty business, you might say. While it is indeed a high-stakes game, it need not be marred with subterfuge and outright dishonesty.

The intellectual authors of that attack ad should be ashamed of themselves.

The slate that allowed it to

run should also be ashamed of itself.

Is it too much to ask that conflict related to the city’s business be met on the battleground of fact?

That’s clearly not what’s occurred here, and Surrey voters should rightly seek a reckoning. After all, we elect politicians to conduct our public business with truthfulness, transparency and integrity.

Attack ads like this only serve to invite derision upon those who produce them, rather than on those they target.

Surrey deserves better.

the answer is that I grew up in Surrey in a single-parent home, both witnessed and experienced abuse at far too young an age, and have always thought it was sheer luck that I didn’t end up worse off in life.

I’ve always taken time to get to know, respect and give dignity to each and every marginalized person I met along my path as a journalist. After all, I recognized how easily that could have been me.

I worked hard within the metaphoric walls of this newsroom to tell the stories I have. And I was extraordinarily lucky enough to have an editor who gave me the freedom to do it.

It’s this passion for helping those who are suffering that will continue to drive my career path, just from a different role. It’s one that I hope will be equally impactful.

The Editor, Re: “Surrey tax hike ‘tip of iceberg,’ Annis warns, the Now-Leader, Nov. 19.

Thanks to Councillor Linda Annis for pointing out the true tax increases proposed in the city’s draft budget. It reminds me of days gone by when then Doug McCallum ran on a platform of zero property tax increases only to introduce a “drainage levy” to increase his operational budget.

One day it was raining, the next day we were being charged a “special levy” to have the water drain away from our yard.

It took a few years, but the auditors finally ruled that this levy was, in fact, a tax.

Then, as now, you may find that your home is subject to a new “parcel tax,” adding another 10 per cent increase to your tax bill.

Missing in this article is whether this will continue to be an annual line item in the city draft budget.

At issue here is the financial “truth” in Mayor McCallum’s commentary. He wants us to believe that he is replacing the RCMP because he promised to do so in his campaign, yet never discusses the financial impacts this will have. Much like his promise to build SkyTrain to Langley at half the suggested $3.1 billion projected cost, no one in Surrey believes him.

This strategy will end in the dismissal of Mayor McCallum and his voting block next election.

McCallum and his minions ran on a promise of a 2.9 per cent maximum tax increase. It appears to me that only some promises need to be kept.

Re-think transition

The Editor, I have a few problems with the proposed police transition.

Annis slams SSC for doctoring photo, quote in attack ad Tom Zytaruk tom.zytaruk@surreynowleader.com

Surrey city Councillor Linda Annis is taking the Safe Surrey Coalition to task for running “fake news” and a doctored photo of her in an attack ad on the slate’s twitter account and its Facebook page.

“I’m very deeply disappointed that they would come up with what I would call fake news, would cut and paste old obsolete statements that were completely out of context with the current issue at hand, and put together this fake ad,” the Surrey First councillor said.

“I think in Surrey our politics should be above that kind of behaviour.”

The photo has Annis holding up a piece of paper with the message: “A vote against the financial capital plan = A vote against critical new programs and city amenities.”

“That’s absolutely a doctored photo and the quote, I’ve not held

THE DOCTORED PHOTO: This Safe Surrey Coalition attack ad shows Linda Annis holding up a paper with quite a different message than its original one, which Annis says has ‘deeply disappointed’ her.

that sign up ever,” Annis told the Now-Leader.

“The yellow piece of paper with those words on, no, that’s totally doctored.”

The real photo shows Annis holding up a yellow piece of paper containing the message “No deliveries please while we’re away.

Thanks.”

The doctored photo is beneath a quote attributed to Annis that states she said, “Forget about new city infrastructure, road repairs, new rinks or much-needed additional police and firefighters for our growing city,” in the Surrey Now-Leader on Nov. 18, 2020,

when in fact the quote actually appeared in the Now-Leader on Nov. 18, 2019, when Annis had been referring to the last budget – not this one – and these aforementioned items being swallowed up by the policing transition.

“Forget about new city infrastructure, road repairs, new rinks or much-needed additional police and firefighters for our growing city. This budget has just one thing on its mind and that’s funding the mayor’s police department. There’s nothing else on his radar screen,” is what her full quote reads from 2019.

The quote, an upset Annis stressed, was from “one year ago, in 2019. It was in response to the proposed budget at the time. So the message was completely taken out of context, and it related to the 2019 budget.

“The context of what I was saying back in 2019, there was no money for any of those things

because everything was going to the police transition. So the whole statement was taken completely out of context,” Annis said.

“I was shocked that the Safe Surrey Coalition would do something like that, particularly when the facts aren’t straight.

“You challenge each other based on facts, and there’s nothing wrong with us disagreeing on issues, but you do it based on facts, you don’t make up the facts.”

Annis said she sent a note to Mayor Doug McCallum on Nov. 18 asking that the post be removed from the Safe Surrey Coalition twitter and Facebook accounts and that he advise her once it’s been done.

“As of this morning, I’ve not had a reply from him nor has the post been removed,” she said Monday.

The Now-Leader has also sought comment from the mayor.

Police have arrested a suspect and a murder charge has been laid in a 12-year-old Surrey homicide.

David Fitzpatrick, 36, has been charged with second-degree murder in the 2008 shooting death of James Groves, 31, in Brownsville.

The shooting happened on Oct. 7, at a house in the 10900-block of Timberland Road, a short

Fitzpatrick is expected to appear in Surrey provincial court on Thursday, Nov. 26.

“Today’s outcome is the result of years of hard work, discipline, and steadfast pursuit of evidence on the part of our investigators,” said Sergeant Frank Jang, of the

RCMP

Surrey’s top cop blindsided by $45M-budget reduction, says internal memo to staff Brian Edwards uncertain how 25 per cent cut will impact staffing and safety Amy Reid amy.reid@surreynowleader.com

Surrey’s police chief says the city’s proposed budget for 2021 includes a 25 per cent reduction in funding for the RCMP to accommodate the police transition – and he had no idea it was coming.

Surrey RCMP Assistant Commissioner Brian Edwards made the statements in an internal memo on Nov. 19 obtained by the Now-Leader.

In the email, Edwards writes that the publication of a city report “was unfortunately the first formal notification I received from the City on their intent to reduce our budget by $45.01M in 2021.”

“I was not consulted during the budgeting process, which means that I do not have any information on how the City intends to implement this 25% reduction,” he adds.

Edwards says in the memo that he has not received any notification to initiate a reduction in Surrey RCMP’s personnel, “nor is there any agreement yet in place for any partial transition to a municipal police service in 2021.”

The memo indicates Edwards anticipates a “positive resolution” to his concerns given his “strong working relationship” with the city’s executive staff.

Edwards writes he has sent his concerns to city hall. He says his letter notifies the city that “if this proposed reduction were to move ahead without further agreements in place, it will impact adequate and effective levels of policing in the City.”

Surrey RCMP Officer-in-Charge Brian Edwards, left, and Surrey Mayor Doug McCallum. (File photos) The Now-Leader requested further comment from Edwards.

Surrey RCMP responded via email that Edwards would not be participating in an interview Friday but outlined the police chief’s main concerns.

“Our primary concern is that the proposed budget indicates a 25% reduction in the Surrey RCMP’s 2021/2022 budget. It is also not clear how this reduction is to be implemented, including impacts on personnel, resources or services. We are seeking a confirmation of the budget for the Surrey RCMP for 2021/2022,” the email states.

“While we respect efforts in support of a transition to a municipal police service are still underway, the Working Group is still developing a roadmap of key milestones, decisions points and a shared work plan to move the transition forward. There is currently no plan in place.”

The statement says a budget reduction of this nature, if approved, will “have a direct impact on the Surrey RCMP’s ability to deliver policing services to the City of Surrey. Our people continue to do an outstanding job delivery police services to the city and they deserve to have a clear understanding of expectations and impacts moving forward.”

Surrey Mayor Doug McCallum did not respond to a request for comment.

INFORM City council

‘It’s so easy just to hit the button and mute somebody,’ Pettigrew says of virtual meetings Tom Zytaruk tom.zytaruk@surreynowleader.com

A couple of Surrey city councillors expressed concern about the city once again holding its regular council and finance committee meetings virtually rather than in-person, as budget discussions loom and the duration of this decision remains unknown.

Surrey Mayor Doug McCallum read a motion, which was unanimously passed, to move council and finance committee meetings back to virtual from in-person, on account of the significant spike in COVID-19 cases, “while ensuring to meet the principles of openness, transparency, accessibility and accountability” by continuing to livestream these meetings and permitting members of the public to participate by phoning in or by written comments.

This was at a special regular council meeting late on Nov. 18.

Councillor Steven Pettigrew said that “in times past, it’s been difficult for members of the public to express themselves and for council to express themselves because of the tendency to be cut off at a quite easy press of the button.

“So I’m concerned that people like councillors and members of the public will not have a chance to be able to speak, that that button might be a little bit too soon, so this is my main concern if we move back into this virtual

“I’m really, really uneasy about going back to virtual meetings and I’m not confident,” Pettigrew said. “It’s so easy just to hit the button and mute somebody, that’s my overriding concern about going back into this.

“I’d like to have some reassurances from the chair that if we do go with this, that these things will not revert back to the way things were before,” he added. “Especially it’s coming up with the budget. Last year’s budget meeting was almost a riot, and this budget coming up, if we go virtual, it’ll eliminate that process but there will be a lot of very emotional people and angry people and maybe some happy people, and we need to be able to allow those people to be able to speak, and to say what they have to say.”

McCallum thanked Pettigrew for his comments.

City manager Vincent Lalonde

Councillor Jack Hundial asked if the move back into exclusively virtual meetings would be re-assessed every month or continue on until the end of council’s term. “The wording around the motion itself, it seems to be there’s no end on it,” he noted.

McCallum said the “intent” is that it would continue “until such time council feels that we can return to in-person meetings.”

“Certainly it won’t be until the end of the pandemic?” Hundial asked.

McCallum, whose Safe Surrey Coalition slate controls council with five of nine seats, replied, “That’s up to council to make that decision.”

Councillor Allison Patton said Vincent Lalonde, city manager the main reason she supported the motion was to protect staff.

“I think it’s the right move, at the told council the City of Vancou- right time,” she said.

Meantime, Lalonde said the ver never went back to fully public from virtual and the majority City of Surrey has “upped our game as far as our facilities and of cities in the Lower Mainland our staff but what remains is have “oscillated ” between the there’s a lot of cases out in the two.

Surrey RCMP issues warning after man asks child into woods Tom Zytaruk tom.zytaruk@surreynowleader.com

Surrey Mounties have issued a series of “stranger safety” tips as they alert the public to a man having allegedly followed a youngster in Newton on earlier this month and repeatedly asking the child to go into the woods with him to look for something.

Corporal Joanie Sidhu said this happened shortly before 1 p.m. Nov. 14, in the 7600-block of 125th Street.

“It was reported that the unknown man repeatedly asked the child to enter a wooded area with him to help him look for lost property,” she said. “A bystander who witnessed this incident confronted the unknown man and he fled the area.”

Sidhu said the man is possibly Middle Eastern, in his early 40s, about six feet tall, and is slender, bald, and has light brown eyes and “waxy looking” skin.

He was wearing a charcoal grey sweater and black sweat pants.

The Surrey RCMP advises parents to remind their children to not go anywhere with someone they don’t know, to stay more than an arm’s reach from strangers, to seek help immediately if approached by a stranger, and to trust their instincts.

“If you feel you are being followed or something is not right, seek help immediately,” Sidhu said. “When seeking help, always go to a trusted adult – teacher, coach, police officer, other parent, or older sibling.

“If a stranger grabs you, do everything you can to stop them from pulling you away,” she added. “Drop to the ground, kick, hit, bite and scream. Do whatever it takes to attract the attention of other who can help you. If someone is dragging you away, scream, ‘this is not my dad,’ or “this is not my mom.’”

And also, report any suspicious activity to your local school and police department.

Police are asking anyone with information to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502, or Crime Stoppers, if they wish to remain anonymous, at 1-800222-8477 or solvecrime.ca.

Surrey RCMP urge caution after three robberies of high-end gaming consoles Lauren Collins lauren.collins@surreynowleader.com

Surrey RCMP is warning the public once again about arranging meet-ups through online marketplace apps.

In a 24-hour period, there were three robberies in Surrey that involved the theft of high-end gaming consoles after people arranged meetups through Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace, according to a release from Surrey RCMP Wednesday (Nov. 18).

The first incident happened Nov. 16, shortly after 8 p.m., when Surrey RCMP said officers received a report of a robbery near 136A Street and 114 Avenue.

Surrey RCMP said a man was robbed of a PlayStation 5 gaming console “by two unknown men” after arranging a meet-up to sell

the device through Facebook Marketplace. Police added that at the meeting location, two men assaulted the seller and stole the console.

The one suspect, according to Surrey RCMP, is described as about 18 to 21 years old, five feet 11 inches tall, slender, “less than 160 lbs.,” and wore a mask and black or grey zip-up hoodie.

SEE SAFETY TIPS AT SURREYNOWLEADER.COM The second suspect is “believed to be Middle Eastern and slightly taller and bigger than the first suspect.”

The second incident happened on Nov. 17, shortly before 3 p.m., when police said an officer received a report of another man who was robbed of his Xbox in the 6100-block of 146th Street.

Surrey RCMP added the seller met the potentional buyer on Craigslist and arranged a meeting.

According to the press release, the seller was bear sprayed and robbed by three men.

Then about an hour later, around 4 p.m., Surrey RCMP received a report that a third man was robbed of his gaming console.

It happened in the 8200block of 168A Street where the seller met the buyer after arranging the meet-up through Craigslist.

Police said the seller was bear sprayed and robbed of a Playstation 5.

The suspects in the third incident are described as three South Asian males, according to Surrey RCMP. Police ask anyone with information to call the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.

Rapper Merkules touts Surrey roots with new music, posted free with 454K+ clicks Tom Zillich tom.zillich@surreynowleader.com

Surrey-raised rapper Merkules has returned home with the cover of his latest album, which he’s made available for all to hear on YouTube.

Apply Pressure features a photo of a house and alley on 146A Street, in an area of Green Timbers where Cole Stevenson grew up before he became Merkules in the world of music.

The video for the title track already has more than 454,000 views since it was posted to his “Young Merkules” channel a few days ago, on Nov. 14, along with other songs from the album.

“Uploading the new album to YouTube today for those who can’t afford it,” Merkules posted to his Facebook page, which boasts more than one million followers.

“I know COVID hasn’t been easy on everyone’s pockets. I don’t care if you steal it either, as long as you’re listening.”

In an earlier Facebook post, Merkules uploaded a photo of himself in the area of Surrey where he grew up.

“What you see here is a fat dude standing in front of a electrical box but what I see is my entire childhood,” he wrote.

“This was ‘the boxes’ when I grew up and you could always rely on a couple of the guys in our crew to be here no matter what time or day smoking weed and drinking 40’s.

“For those that don’t know already, you know that scar on my face that you’ve always wondered about? Well right behind this fence is also where I got stabbed in the face. Welcome to

stuff, but no, I’m going to tell you exactly how it happened.”

That night, a car almost drove into Merk and his friends, so they yelled for the driver to slow down. A confrontation escalated before the driver peeled off, promising to return. He did – with friends, all wearing masks and brandishing knives.

“They went to work on us,” Merkules recalled. “It was a super, super traumatic experience. I got hit with a bat and got stabbed.

“In a way, though,” he added, “it was a good thing that happened because nobody died, and it was kind of a wake-up call I needed because at that point in time I was doing a lot of dumb (expletive) as a teenager, stealing cars or what have you, and that event was kind of like God’s way of saying, ‘Hey buddy, you’re getting in a little too deep, smarten up,’ and after that I kind of focused more on music, which was always my passion but I made my first real song.”

The attackers were never caught.

“At the time I kind of lived by the code of where I didn’t talk to the police that often, but the detective guys did ask questions,” Merk recalled. “There was only so much I could remember anyhow, because I was in shock the whole time. While in the ambulance I thought I was going to the hospital for alcohol poisoning or something, because I didn’t realize I’d been stabbed.

I put my face in my hand, and that’s when I saw all the blood on my hand, and the next thing I knew I woke up in hospital with my family there and they told me what happened. It was a really crazy thing.”

‘Memorial eCup’ games to keep 60 CHL players plugged in, including Burzan Tom Zillich tom.zillich@surreynowleader.com

Like other WHL players during the COVID-19 pandemic, Luka Burzan is just trying to keep his legs moving.

The Surrey-raised sniper, a Brandon Wheat Kings veteran and Colorado Avalanche draft pick, is skating twice a week at a rink in Kelowna, where he now lives.

“Nothing too crazy,” Burzan said. “I’m skating with a lot of pro guys like (Damon) Severson, who plays for New Jersey (Devils), and (Brent) Seabrook, a lot of people know him, and a lot of other guys, too, and there’s really no better place to get better than skate with guys like that.”

Still, he’d rather be playing meaningful games, but the WHL season has been delayed until the first week of January, at the earliest.

“I’ve been hanging out with family and some friends, a tight circle, and honestly it’s a little boring without hockey right now,” Burzan admitted. “I feel like I’m missing a big part of my life not being in Brandon and playing, and those guys are like my brothers. It’s been weird.”

One activity that will keep Burzan busy is the new Memorial eCup presented by Kia, a 64-team eSports tournament featuring all 60 CHL clubs, plus four “distinguished hockey personalities” as guest participants.

The “NHL 21” video-game tournament will be played from Nov. 28 to Dec. 17 on the Sony PlayStation 4 system, with Burzan chosen to represent his Wheat Kings.

“I was asked by the team if I wanted to do it, and I thought it’d be fun and a pretty cool experience, kinda cool,” Burzan said.

“I’ve been missing some competitiveness, so trying to win something like that would be really good, and I think it will be a cool experience for sure.”

The online action is designed to keep junior-hockey fans engaged at a time when on-ice games aren’t happening.

Burzan said he plays the video game “a fair amount, and I think I should do pretty well, but I don’t know, there are a lot of players involved, more than 60 of us, so

look, and hopefully we’ll know soon,” he said about the coming NHL season, targeted to start in January. “With the borders being closed, that’s a bit of a problem.

There are so many cases down there.”

Burzan said he felt he had “a pretty good chance of going to camp and proving myself,” prior to the pandemic.

“Everyone’s goal is to go there and make the NHL, right, and I think I had at least a chance to make the American Hockey League (affiliate team) and get some experience there, but you know what, nobody expected a pandemic to happen,” Burzan noted. “So right now I’m just trying to get better each and every day, and everyone’s going through the same thing. Hopefully this will all be over soon and we can get back to work. But even with (the WHL), Manitoba is code-red. We’ll see.”

As for the Memorial eCup, the competition starts as a single-elimination tournaSurrey-raised hockey player Luka Burzan in action ment, with semifinal and final-round action with the WHL’s Brandon Wheat Kings. then seeing players go head-to-head in a (File photo: Brandi Pollock/Wheat Kings) best-of-three format.

Other CHL players signed up include I’ll try to make it as far as I can,” he said.

“It’ll be hard to win, and some luck will be Vancouver Giants’ Trevor Longo along with former Giant Lukas Svejkovsky, now involved.

Kennedy wins Bellator debut fight Tom Zillich tom.zillich@surreynowleader.com

MMA fighter Jeremy Kennedy won his Bellator organization debut Thursday (Nov. 19) in a unanimous decision over American Matt Bessett.

The featherweight fight was held at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut, in a preliminary-card battle.

Kennedy, 28, a former UFC fighter who grew up in the Fleetwood area of Surrey and now lives in Langley, improved his pro MMA record to 16 wins, two losses and one no contest.

The fight was shown on the BellatorMMA YouTube channel, which boasts more than a million subscribers.

Bellator 253’s main card saw A.J McKee defeat Darrion Caldwell at 1:11 of the first

round, via neck-crank submission.

After the three rounds of his win, a beaming Kennedy was draped with the Cana-

dian flag, and he later talked about the experience during a press conference posted to YouTube.

“We just getting started!

Very excited for this new chapter,” Kennedy later tweeted, with a graphic showing the 16 fights he’s won.

The notches are tattooed on his left rib cage.

Prior to Thursday, Kennedy was itching to get back into the MMA ring with the California-based Bellator, the UFC rival promotion that signed him to its growing roster. He hadn’t fought since October 2019, due in part to COVID-19.

Carl & Frances Atamanchuk November 25, 1950

Wishing you both a very Happy 70th Anniversary Love their children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and family

Dr. John Rosario Scarfo, physician and surgeon, passed away in Summerland, BC at his home with family by his side. John will be greatly missed by his wife Kay (nĂŠe Keen); his daughters Gina (Brad), Karen (Matt), Tanya (Gil), Andrea, Allana, and Lara; and his sisters Vera Oster and Millie Bosco. He was predeceased by his ďŹ rst wife Kathleen Scarfo (nĂŠe Catt).

John was born in Vancouver to immigrant parents Victoria and Frank Scarfo. His father was killed by a drunk driver when John was 7. John was 10th of 12 children; they grew up during the depression in very lean times. John left school in grade 8 to work and support his family. He later went on to obtain his grade 12 certiďŹ cate at night school and enroll in pre-med in 1947. With the ďŹ nancial help of Dean Walter Gage at UBC, as well as working multiple jobs, he was able to graduate with a medical degree in 1955.

John had a family practice in Surrey. He was particularly well liked because he was genuinely interested in people and that was demonstrated in his great compassion and caring. He practiced medicine in the years of house calls, middle of the night hospital emergency calls, and delivery of babies. John was a key member of the medical community holding many titles including Chief of Sta and head of the Chamber of Commerce. He was a great advocate of women’s rights; he successfully fought against the archaic rule that women had to be assessed by 2 psychiatrists prior to tubal ligation. He was also known for his surgical expertise in vasectomies. John also facilitated many private adoptions.

There will be no funeral service. A celebration of life will be held in Spring 2021. John’s impish grin and love to play devil’s advocate will be greatly missed.

In lieu of flowers please consider making a donation to a charity.

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN Application #: TMC-ROW IVMP-2020 Applicant: TransMountain Corporation (TMC), 7815 Shellmont Street, Burnaby BC V5A 4S9, Email: info@transmountain.com as well as the toll-free info line 1.866.514.6700 In accordance with the British Columbia’s Pest Management Act and Regulations, TMC is required to develop a Pest Management Plan (PMP) (for TMC the PMP is referred to as the Integrated Vegetation Management Plan (IVMP)). The IVMP manages problem vegetation, including control of noxious weeds and invasive plants within TMC’s rights-of-way and access roads to its pipeline systems. In British Columbia, TMC operates the Trans Mountain Pipeline transporting crude oil and reďŹ ned products from Edmonton, AB to Burnaby, BC. The pipelines are located below ground and in the proximity to the following communities in British Columbia: Valemount, Albreda, Blue River, Avola, Vavenby, Clearwater, DarďŹ eld, McLure, Heey Creek, Kamloops, Merritt, Kingsvale, Hope, Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Sumas, Langley, Surrey, Coquitlam and Burnaby.

This IVMP has been prepared to replace the existing 5-year IVMP which expires in April 2021. The proposed duration of the IVMP is from May 1, 2021 to May 1, 2026.

The vegetation management and weed control methods proposed for use include hand pulling, mowing, trimming, pruning, selective slashing, girdling, geotextile fabric, retaining existing low or self-sustaining ground cover, seeding, fertilization where setbacks permit and tree/shrub plantings. The use of pesticides (herbicides) are intended within the geographic area to which the PMP (IVMP) applies. TMC conducts all work, including pest (herbicide) management, in strict adherence with all applicable Acts and regulations.

The active ingredient names and an example of trade names of the pesticides (herbicides) proposed for use under this plan include: aminocyclopyrachlor (Navius VM), aminopyralid (Milestone), chlorsulfuron (Telar), clopyralid (Lontrel 360), dicamba (Vanquish), diufenzopyr (Overdrive), diuron (Diurex 80 WDG), umioxazin (Payload), uroxypyr (Retain B), glyphosate (Vantage XRT), indaziam (Esplanade SC), MCPA (MCPA Amine 500), mecoprop-P (Mecoprop-P), metsulfuron methyl (Clearview), picloram (Grazon), pyroxasulfone (Torpedo), triclopyr (Garlon XRT), 2,4-D (2,4-D Amine 600), esteriďŹ ed vegetable oil (Hasten adjuvant) and paraďŹƒnic oil and alkoxylated alcohol non-ionic surfactants (Gateway adjuvant). Application methods include: backpack, power hose and nozzle, stem injection, wick/wipe-on applicator, and boom sprayer.

A draft copy of the proposed IVMP and maps of the proposed treatment areas may be reviewed online on the Trans Mountain website from using this link https://www.transmountain.com/vegetation-management A person(s) wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of the pest management plan, may send copies of the information to the applicant at the address above (Trans Mountain Corporation, info@transmountain.com as well as the toll-free info line 1.866.514.6700) within 30 days of the publication of this notice.

ENVIRONMENTAL LEADER This individual makes a positive contribution to the community by championing environmentally friendly initiatives. Someone who inspires others to be “green” by being a leader in ecologically sound practices.

TOP HONOUR

Pablo Vimos

P

ablo Vimos is a true environmental leader in Surrey.

In 2017, Vimos proposed Embark, a student-led non-profit that empowers student sustainability leadership and involved an indoor vegetable and herb garden at the Simon Fraser University’s (SFU) Surrey Campus.

Vimos serves as the Embark Sustainability’s Garden Co-ordinator, and in 2019 expanded the indoor garden after its pilot phase was completed.

He also led the way for the building and operation of the Central City Learning Garden, an initiative operated by Embark Sustainability in conjunction with SFU

Surrey, SFU Surrey-TD Community Engagement Centre, and Central City.

Vimos works to ensure that the Learning Gardens act as a student-centred food growing and learning space that enables participants to identify produce, master their gardening skills from sowing seeds to harvesting their favourite vegetables.

The gardens provide fresh, healthy and lowcost food.

With guidance and support from Vimos, student volunteers explore growing new vegetables and varieties year-round, thus expanding their proficiency in food production and contributing to a sustainable food system.

“A lot of the time, students say, ‘I have a brown thumb, I kill everything I touch.’ I try to change that approach. Looking after plants and producing, it’s not out of reach.

If you have the basic skills, the basic knowledge, you can become someone who can grow vegetables and food.”

Vimos said he was “very surprised” to learn he had been named a finalist for the Environmental Leader of the Year award.

“I’m excited to see the work I have been doing is being recognized,” he added.

Vimos has more than 10 years of gardening experience, is a Master Gardener and ecologist.

Wendy Mehat

F

rom engaging with vulnerable residents to working on prevention and inspiring youth, Inspector Wendy Mehat has shown incredible leadership and commitment to public safety and the people of Surrey.

Mehat began her career with the RCMP as a constable in Whalley more than 20 years ago.

As Surrey RCMP’s Community Safety and Support Officer for the past three years, she was also Surrey RCMP detachment’s first visible minority female commissioned officer.

Mehat and her team were in charge of addressing Surrey’s former “tent city” and the impending homeless-

ness crisis. She was tasked with transforming Surrey RCMP’s existing model of mental health response into the Surrey Outreach Team at the time, and also led the charge in creating the newest model of the Police Mental Health Outreach Team.

Mehat also led the creation of “Project Lavender,” a program that aims to empower young women and girls to make positive choices and surround themselves with healthy relationships.

It tackles topics including texting, “sexting,” understanding sexual exploitation, drug and alcohol awareness, and the importance of healthy relationships.

Mehat has won the Emer-

gency Services award in this year’s Community Leader Awards, and says it “feels wonderful” to be recognized.

But, she adds that “any success that I’m a part of, or getting this nomination, or even being a finalist, is due to the teams I had working for me. You don’t ever work alone, you achieve these results with the people you worked with.”

Mehat, who has recently transferred to the Maple Ridge RCMP, said she very much misses Surrey but is looking forward to “taking on some new challenges, and working with a city that has some similar issues to Surrey as well.”

Surrey Firefighters are proud to be sponsors of the 18th Annual Awards

Brock Dorward Former Surrey Fire Services batallion chief Brock Dorward may have retired from his post, but since then he’s only increased his commitment to the community in which he both lives and served as a first responder.

Brock has personally donated well over $100,000, and his philanthropic nature has been contagious, with many others following his lead.

“It’s an honour,” he said of the recognition. “I’ve been involved over the years with the (Surrey firefighters) charity as well, working with the fellas. It’s pretty amazing what they do in our community and for me, it’s an easy fit. I’ve always enjoyed doing it and it gives me lot of pleasure to participate in the charitable events.”

All told, Dorward spent 32 years with Surrey Fire Service,

first as a firefighter and captain before becoming a batallion chief.

Dorward still runs a development company in Surrey and continues to support the Surrey Fire Fighters Charitable Society by sponsoring its annual charity golf tournament, Christmas Adopt-A-Family and Battle of the Brews, and has organized his own fundraisers to support the society’s initiatives.

Jane Adams

J

ane Adams’ avid curiosity, along with her engaged leadership style, has allowed her to forge successful, often unconventional partnerships with governments, community groups and private sector to the benefit of Surrey’s medical sector.

Through her work as President and CEO of Surrey Hospitals Foundation, Adams builds bridges within the community with her remarkable team.

In addition to working tirelessly to help secure health infrastructure of this rapidly growing city, Adams has worked with industry to

bring the best technology to Surrey.

Examples include partnerships with Microsoft and Conquer Mobile to improve patient care and teaching, partnering with donors and government, as well as bringing B.C.’s first 3T MRI and Tomosynthesis technology to Surrey.

Also, Adams’ commitment to Surrey’s academic mandate led her to partner with UBC to help create the award-winning Simulation Centre and with SFU to create Surrey’s first Academic Chair, an appointment that became a building block for the city’s Innovation Boulevard

agenda that brought significant diagnostic infrastructure to Surrey.

What does Adams believe it takes to build community?

“I think you have to have a genuine interest and curiosity about the people in your community, because community is all about people, certainly places and structures are important, but the integral part of any community is the people,” she said.

“I think having a curiosity and interest in people, and what collectively we can achieve, is an essential part of being a builder. Being a builder is a bit of being a facilitator among people who have great ideas and energy.”

Over the years, Peterson has been involved in many musical endeavours, most of which he volunteered his time to, such as his involvement as host and organizer of the “Diamond in the Rock Youth Talent Search” which later became the “Roadhouse Live Youth Talent Search” from 2012 to 2017.

Cynthia Adams Cynthia Adams’ colleagues at Guildford Park Secondary school say the school community is fortunate to have her and her exceptional team as counsellors.

At Guildford Park, the counsellors are faced with unparalleled challenges, typically handling a caseload of over 300 students.

That’s 300 young people navigating the school system while going through puberty, a global pandemic, existential dread about

climate change, and a global call for racial justice.

To put that in greater context, the school is also one in a low socioeconomic area, and often the first landing point for refugees and new immigrants to Canada.

Adams’ colleagues say she goes above and beyond to ensure these students receive the support that they need and to advocate for their often complex and serious needs.

“What drew me to doing counselling was just the opportunity to work more closely with students because I feel like there are certain interventions you can do in a classroom that benefit all the students, then there are some things that you really have to do in small groups or one-on-one in order to be of help,” said Adams, who began working at Guildford Park Secondary in 2004 as a teacher before moving into counselling.

Dorey added. “I really want them to feel like what they learn in school and what they do in school matters. If I can’t explain why it matters then I’m not doing my job.”

Dorey said she grew as a human being through her work at Guildford Park.

“I needed to gain some humility. I needed to grow up here. It wasn’t these kids’ jobs to raise me or teach me about the world or to teach me about resilience, that’s not something that they owed me, but I feel really grateful I was able to gain all of that by being here. I feel in a lot of ways I got to grow up with the kids here.”

George Garrett

L

egendary CKNW reporter and longtime Surrey resident George Garrett is being recognized for his work in helping to found the Volunteer Cancer Drivers Society, based in this city.

Garrett has been named the Volunteer of the Year in the 2020 Community Leader Awards for his tireless efforts.

Garrett’s commitment has helped make possible the essential free travel to care for hundreds of cancer patients since the society’s inception in 2016, following his work to found the organization.

The society was formed in the wake of the Canadi-

an Cancer Society discontinuing a transportation program for patients.

“We started with absolutely nothing,” Garrett recalled. “We had to put a few dollars on the table to get registered. We started canvassing different places like Surrey council, which was very good to us, has been all the way through, and service clubs like Rotary, and we started raising money and it worked out quite well.”

Since that time, Garrett has steadfastly driven patients, recruited drivers, raised charitable funds and served as vice-president of the society’s board.

While he retired from the

organization as VP just a few months ago, he has taken on the challenge of championing the “Legacy Giving Campaign” for the society.

“I’m carrying on an affiliation with the Volunteer Cancer Drivers by encouraging people to donate by using stock that they own, so I’ve done that myself as an example, and also to have Volunteer Cancer Drivers mentioned in my will. I’ve done that hoping that others will do the same.”

Garrett has been named an “honourary lifetime member” of Volunteer Cancer Drivers, online at volunteercancerdrivers.ca.

“I began volunteering to make a difference and give back to my community,” said Brar.

“I learned about issues within my community and I wanted to actively make a difference and raise awareness. I realize the impact youth have within the community and for the future of our society, so this led me to be involved with Youth Transforming Society (YTS).

“Within YTS, I interact with youth from our community and host events and implement community projects such as Sustainability Month, Annual Food Drive for the Surrey Food Bank, Volunteering and Beyond, and Flowers for Happiness.”

It is a non-profit organization that aims to challenge the stigma surrounding mental health through an intersectional framework by spear-heading educational initiatives such as workshops and campaigns, social justice think-pieces, as well as policy and advocacy work.

Rabiah was also named Miss British Columbia 2019 and is a Jr. Team

Canada Ambassador, through which she had the chance to travel to Ottawa to speak to government officials, business CEOs and philanthropists on topics of global importance such as climate change, food insecurity, and mental health.

It is these efforts, and others, that led to Dhaliwal being chosen as this year’s Youth Volunteer of the Year in the Community Leader Awards.

Dhaliwal said the recognition is “an incentive that motivates me to do even more for the betterment of my community because

it feels like my work is being recognized in being given this platform.

“I’ve dealt with a lot of adversity growing up, and I started volunteering as a positive outlet to help cope with my own mental health issues,” she told the Now-Leader. “Volunteering, for me, sort of acted like a medicine and it helped me. It felt very empowering during a time where I didn’t have a great self esteem, and I didn’t feel so good about myself.

It felt empowering that I was doing work that could help others. It helped me gain confidence in myself.”

Jasmine Ram Jasmine Ram is a first-year SFU student who has been an ambassador for B.C. Children’s Hospital for the past five years.

She is the chair of the foundation’s youth committee and has been a host for the annual telethon on Shaw TV and Global TV. Ram says she first started volunteering due to her brother being a patient at B.C. Children’s Hospital, and her family’s involvement in raising funds. She leads her team of volunteers each year by organizing various events raising funds for this worthy

cause. These efforts led to Ram being chosen as this year’s runner-up in the Community Leader Awards’ Youth Volunteer of the Year award category.

“It’s an honour and such a great opportunity too,” Ram said of the recognition. “I think it’s amazing and I’m honoured to be nominated.”

But, Ram added, “I don’t volunteer for an award.”

“I’ve done it since I was a kid.

I’m now 19 and I started when I was 15. We were talking with the oldest (volunteer) members and

asking when we should stop, but we don’t want to stop. It’s something that has been a part of our lives for so long.”

Through her volunteer work, Ram mentors students by teaching them leadership skills, teamwork, self-confidence and discipline, allowing them to have self-empowerment through volunteering and meeting prominent members of the community.

“I just love volunteering. I think it’s because of my family, it just started out that way, they’re kind of my role models.”

Manmeet Sahota Manmeet Sahota says finding ways to empower his students drives him to go above and beyond in his efforts as a high school coach.

“For me, one of the reasons why I got into coaching, mentoring, being a teacher, one of my personal goals in working with kids is to help them see their own potential,” said Sahota.

Sahota is a highly respected educator and soccer coach at Surrey’s LA Matheson Secondary.

Having coached both the boys

and girls soccer programs the past number of years, Sahota has helped turn the Mustangs into a perennial contender.

He coached the junior girls team in 2018, and the school won the first and only banner for girls athletics in the school’s 51-year history for any sport.

Sahota also runs the LA Matheson’s “Camp Next” summer mentorship program, which is the biggest program of its kind in the Surrey School District.

Sahota says for him, coach-

ing is about “raising the bar” and “slowly, gradually seeing (students) grow into responsible young adults that are not only driven and independent and strong but they’re also good human beings.”

“That’s where the coaching comes in: You’re trying to help them excel at the sport they’re doing but more importantly you’re trying to foster them into being good human beings.

Open-minded, critical, empathetic and kind.”
