Flagger, line painter hospitalized following afternoon crash in South Surrey
Chaos after minivan hits road crew
Non-political group
Criticism over OCP panelistsMelissa Smalley Staff Reporter
White Rock residents are ques-tioning the composition of the city’s Official Community Plan Working Group, alleging that the city-selected membership does not fairly represent the community.
The group, selected by city plan-ning staff and named in a report to council in July, includes 10 mem-bers: Cliff Annable (White Rock/South Surrey Chamber of Com-merce), Harp Hoonjan (Peace Arch Hospital board member), Morley Myran (Tourism White Rock board member), Ruchir Dhall (Advisory Design Panel member), Doug-las Smith (White Rock Business Improvement Association), Randy Heilbron (Fraser Health Authority representative), Dawn Wattie (resi-dent/business owner), Judy For-ster (resident, former mayor), Jim McKinlay (resident) and Richard Harding (resident).
In an email to director of planning and development Karen Cooper, forwarded to Peace Arch News, resi-dent Charles Fast said he was curi-ous about the criteria the city used to select the members, questioning its “non-political” status that Coo-per insisted upon when the group was first announced in June.

A collision between an eastbound van and members of a road line-painting crew sent two men to hospital – one with “significant injuries” – and closed 24 Avenue between 148 and 150 Streets in South Surrey for sev-eral hours Wednesday afternoon.
According to Surrey RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann, the men were struck by a grey
minivan around 3:15 p.m., as they worked in the 14800-block of 24 Avenue.
The van, driven by a 17-year-old Surrey resident, hit a line-painter and flag person, Schumann said.
“It struck the cart and its operator. The cart was propelled forward into the flagger.”
The line-painter, a 19-year-old Surrey man, was airlifted to hospital and remains in hospital with non-life-threatening injuries;
the flagger, a 34-year-old Vancouver resi-dent, was transported by ground ambulance, treated and released.
A woman who lives nearby witnessed the victims “about a second” after they were struck, and told Peace Arch News the scene was chaotic with “a lot of screaming.”
The woman – who didn’t want to be iden-tified – said she witnessed another crash

Conservatives attacked as Liberal, Green and NDP candidates speak out
More unity than debate at forum
Cities still pushing
Talk on rail relocation back on trackMelissa Smalley Staff Reporter
White Rock Mayor Wayne Bald-win said he is feeling “encouraged” after meeting with the provincial transportation minister last week to discuss relocating the railway, acknowledging, however, that there is a long road ahead before the project comes to fruition.
Baldwin discussed the relocation with Transportation Minister Todd Stone during a “very quick” meet-ing at the Union of B.C. Munici-palities in Vancouver last week, and said the minister “seemed very receptive” to the idea.
“It was really just to provide him with some understanding of the magnitude of the work and to set up a subsequent meeting,” Baldwin told Peace Arch News Wednesday.
“What we’re waiting for now is for Surrey to consider the issue. I’m hoping and expecting that they will resolve to put in a joint appli-cation with us to the Canadian Transportation Authority.”
Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner told PAN Thursday that she remains committed to relocating the rail line and agrees with Baldwin that the two cities “need to have a united front on the issue,” noting there are some “Surrey-specific issues” that need to be examined first.
“It’s a little less complicated for White Rock than it is for Surrey,” Hepner said.
A staff report analyzing the rami-fications of relocating the rail line is expected to come before council in November, Hepner said.
Among concerns for the city, Hepner said, is economic impact, and as a result the city is “going slow and steady” in proceeding.
“It’s an enormous project and it has enormous costs attached to it,” Hepner said. “It would have to be some other level of government that would be paying for the relo-cation. It’s certainly not within a local government’s ability, no mat-ter which local government.”
Baldwin said he is optimistic that help on the federal level may come after this month’s election.
“All the candidates have indi-cated, I believe, a strong interest in supporting (the relocation), so perhaps we can get some support in that respect moving forward.”
Alex BrowneStaff Reporter
Moderator Frank Bucholtz made it clear an audience member’s question at the conclusion of Tuesday’s all-candidates meeting at Crescent United Church didn’t require an answer.
But it was audibly appreciated by an audience who had spent two hours listening to South Surrey-White Rock federal candidates Larry Colero (Green Party), Pixie Hobby (NDP) and Judy Higginbotham (Liberal) give their views on climate change and end-of-life choices.
“Will the three of you get together to pick only one to run in this election?” he asked, to general laughter and applause.
The more than 200 people attending the forum, organized by the South Fraser Unitarian Congregation and Crescent United, heard more agreement than debate among candidates.
While they differed on for whom voters should cast their ballots, they were unified in their belief that the route to what they see as necessary change in Canada is the removal of Prime Minister Stephen Harper from the helm.
“This isn’t much of a debate is it?” Colero quipped at one point, going on later to say he was unsure whether to call the other can-didates “colleagues,” “opponents” or “friends”.
Conservative candidate Dianne Watts and Libertarian Bonnie Hu did not attend the meeting, which did, however, receive a brief
visit from just-announced Progressive Cana-dian Party candidate Brian Marlatt, who read a statement in which he, too, left no doubt that his party seeks change in Ottawa.
Colero told the audience in introductory remarks that while the Green Party is focused on environmental issues such as opposing the Kinder Morgan pipeline and the shipping of “oily sludge” along B.C.’s coast and the transpor-tation of thermal coal through communities, it is also committed to “never have a party whip, and never insist that MPs vote a certain way.”
Later, noting that the Green Party has been accused of being a “one issue party” – Colero said the party’s one overriding issue was “returning democracy to Canada.”
The other candidates were also not slow to take shots at the Conservative government.
Higginbotham said the Conservatives had “forgotten” the importance of climate change.
In discussing the need for investment in infrastructure to improve transportation and remove gridlock, she said that a Liberal gov-ernment will not only invest millions in build-ing transportation corridors, but will also improve communication between Ottawa and communities like South Surrey-White Rock.
Hobby said the NDP will end the “subsidies Harper has been giving to the fossil fuel indus-try” in favour of investing money in stimulat-ing a green economy, adding that the NDP is proposing to deliver $1.3 billion “directly to municipalities for transportation.”
In other discussion, the three candidates on the dais spoke almost as one on the need for environmental protection and investing in innovation and the development of green tech-nologies both locally and globally.
Hobby said the challenges of protecting the environment should be seen as “an opportunity to review our economic stance” and find new and better ways of doing business.
“We don’t have to choose between a strong economy and a clean environment,” she said. “The two go hand in hand.”
All three candidates expressed support for the Supreme Court decision to allow indi-viduals to choose physician-assisted suicide in cases where pain and suffering are intolerable and the wishes of a competent terminally ill patient have been made clear.

“At first blush, this group seems to be mostly Realtors and pro-development proponents,” Fast writes. “Some are not even White Rock taxpayers or residents.”
Resident Erika Johanson echoed Fast’s sentiment in an email to PAN, saying Cooper “needs to explain herself.”
“The majority of White Rock residents are seniors, not Real-tors and developers,” Johanson writes. “The majority of White Rock residents are opposed to changing the existing OCP to accommodate Realtors and developers. So, why were so many of them appointed to the OCP working group?”
Two other residents – Dennis Lypka and Ross Buchanan – also
sent critical messages.Phone calls and emails to Coo-
per this week were not returned by PAN press time Thursday.
However, the city’s commu-nications officer sent an email addressing the selection process and criteria for the working group.
“We are confident that there is a broad range of stakeholders for this group and (it) is in line with the terms of reference,” Shannon Levesque wrote. “Staff selected members based on the criteria outlined in the terms of reference and a ‘letter of interest’ applica-tion process.”
Questioned further, Levesque said there were 25 applicants.
The criteria included a demon-strated interest in and knowledge of the community; knowledge
of good planning principles; the ability to attend regular meetings and related events; and a bal-anced representation of interests.
The working group was cre-ated to “maintain a high degree of public representation” in the OCP review process, accord-ing to the report presented to council in June. The group is meant to function as an informal advisory body, meeting once a month until the review process is completed.
At the time the creation of the group was announced, Coun. Megan Knight asked Cooper why council would not have a say in who is selected.
Cooper responded by saying the group should not have “polit-ical representation.”

“People are confused by the markings,” she said. “It makes me
really angry when things like this that are preventable happen.”
The van driver and his two pas-sengers were not injured.
Schumann said cause of the crash has yet to be determined. The Mounties’ Criminal Collision Investigation Team and Integrated
Collision Analysis and Recon-struction Service are investigat-ing, with WorkSafe BC, he said, noting investigation is expected to take “a couple months.”
Traffic in the area was re-routed until 10 p.m. Wednesday.

Both parties in a tense standoff – that resulted in RCMP officers being summoned to White Rock council chambers this week – are standing firm in their positions.
The call to police Monday evening came at Mayor Wayne Baldwin’s request, after resident and former councillor Margaret Woods did not heed Baldwin’s order to leave council chambers.
Baldwin’s order came after Woods exhibited what the mayor described as “disrespectful behav-iour” during a public meeting towards a developer requesting a height variance for his property.
Though the RCMP officers left without intervening, Baldwin told Peace Arch News Wednesday that a section in the Community Charter gives officers the author-ity to remove someone who is “acting improperly.”
“They said they had not seen it first-hand, and were not pre-pared to act on what we had told them, they weren’t sure they had the authority,” Baldwin said, noting that he and the city clerk pointed out the relevant section under the charter to the officers.
“I hope that it never happens again, but I guess if it has to hap-pen, (the RCMP) will be aware of their powers under the Commu-nity Charter.”
Calls to the White Rock RCMP for comment were not returned by PAN press time.
Woods, however, said her behaviour was not disrespectful “under any circumstances.” She said she was simply discuss-ing her concerns about the proposed project and that public meetings such as the one Monday eve-ning are the “one and only opportunity that the pub-lic has to make their opin-ions known to council.”
“They’ve taken away the question period at council meetings,” she said. “They couldn’t afford 15 minutes to give to the public to hear their opinions?”
According to municipal lawyer Jonathan Baker, a former Vancou-ver councillor, situations escalat-ing in chambers to the point of RCMP presence being requested are rare, but not unheard of.
Baker recalled a few instances during his time on council in the late 1980s when proceedings were disrupted by protestors.
“These things do come up from time to time,” Baker said. “It hap-pens everywhere. It’s not some-thing that happens often, but it happens.”
Baker said a mayor is well within his rights to call in the RCMP to expel someone if it is felt that person is out of order.
“They have a duty to maintain order,” he said. “If he considers that the person is acting improp-erly, he may order them expelled. It is a matter of law and order, and it’s an important matter.”
Woods, however, said calling the RCMP to council chambers– is “never appropriate.”
(On Sept. 14, an offi-cer was present when residents rallied on the lawn of city hall, and on April 10 Baldwin asked
for an officer to attend a waste-collection vote after he said a councillor expressed concern.)
“It’s all about intimidation,” Woods said. “The people in White Rock don’t deserve to live in a police state.”
Baldwin said his actions aren’t meant to discourage debate, but he insisted respect be maintained:
“It’s one of the mayor’s roles to uphold governance in the cham-bers, and I believe I did that on Monday. I sincerely hope I never have the occasion to observe such disrespectful behaviour again.”

With less than three weeks to go till the federal election, it’s high time that voters – if they haven’t already – give
some serious thought to who they want to lead the country forward for the next four years.
Locally, there will be six names on the ballot: Larry Colero (Green); Judy Higginbotham (Liberal); Pixie Hobby (NDP); Bonnie Hu (Libertarian); Brian Marlatt (Progressive Canadian); and Dianne Watts (Conservative).
Most of the names will be familiar to those who have called the Semiahmoo Peninsula home for any length of time and pay attention to current events.
But name recognition alone is not enough to base a vote on.
What will these candidates do for the community should they win a seat on Oct. 19? How knowledgeable are they on issues that matter? How strongly will they make our community’s voice heard in Ottawa? Which of them best represents what you see as the best direction, locally and nationally?
There are no shortage of ways to get to know the issues, and where each candidate stands on them: go to debates, visit campaign offices, call or email the candidates directly or simply stop them in the street and ask.
If they really want to represent you – as they insist they do – they will take the time to hear what’s important to you, and give their time to fully explain their positions and what’s driving them.
Candidates, too, have very limited time left to make their views known, to sell constituents on their abilities to have a positive influence on this community’s and Canada’s future, and bring the needs and wants of both to the forefront.
The bottom line is this: Oct. 19 isn’t just another day. It’s a day that will determine the country’s path forward for a significant length of time – a term in which much can happen, both positive and negative.
No doubt, there will be those unhappy with some or all of the decisions of those who are elected to effect change or stay the course. Many are unhappy with the electoral process altogether and have a jaundiced view of all politicians, regardless of party affiliations.
But saying that a single vote doesn’t count is tantamount to saying that all votes don’t count – a position we don’t believe Canadians are ready to embrace.
The reality is that those who don’t vote will have no right to complain.

Know the issues, make your choice

opinionPeace Arch News
When I became a newspaper editor at the beginning of July, something I inherited
– other than a desk so massive that it could not be budged an inch by four people in their 20s – was a commitment to participate in the Try on a Disability challenge.
It’s all part of a Kwantlen Polytechnic University student-project involving the Langley Pos-Abilities Society.
The exercise puts an able-bodied person in a wheelchair for a few hours, so they can get a small sense of what it is like to navigate our streets, businesses and public spaces without the benefit of all four limbs.
Like most journalists who pick print over broadcast, I don’t love having a camera pointed at me. But that was part of the deal, as the students’ assignment includes putting together a short film about the experience.
My turn came last Friday morning. A crew of four students arrived and we agreed that after a few turns around the office to see which, if any, corners were toughest to access we would head out.
My Langley Times office is in a newer
building – by downtown Langley City standards, at least – and so I assumed getting around would be fairly simple. And it wasn’t bad, for the most part.
Furniture placement proved to be the big stumbling block, when I couldn’t get behind my own desk – nor could it be moved six inches to allow me to do so.
Our wheelchair-accessible washroom was another eye opener – again, the placement of furniture inside the room was the issue.
A number of back-and-forths and side-to-sides and ins, outs and arounds took place before I managed to close the door behind me.
None of this is a problem, of course, if nobody in the office uses a wheelchair – until a member of the public needs to use the facilities. A quick rearrangement of the furniture could solve the problem, but when time is of the essence – let’s just say it’s something to think about.
The outdoors offered a whole other set of challenges – ones that would be far less easy to remedy.
Rather than a power scooter or an electric wheelchair, my borrowed rig had the equivalent of what my dad used to
refer to in an old vehicle as “Armstrong” steering – in this case, “Armstrong” propulsion as well.
Even though the area my crew and I traversed that morning didn’t amount to much, it was a physically exhausting exercise. And not just because I have the upper-body strength of an undernourished kitten.
Ramps and automatic doors, designed to improve accessibility, made some tasks less arduous, but ease of access, it turns out, is a relative term.
Other obstacles were less obvious.Brick paving stones, while nice to look
at, vibrate uncomfortably up backs, arms and shoulders as you roll over them. Most curbs flow perfectly into the street, but one or two – presumably adapted after the fact – were steep enough that I got moving too fast on the way down and burned the tips of my fingers on the rubber-coated hand wheel as I tried to stop.
Even the almost imperceptible slope of the sidewalk toward the street (for drainage purposes, presumably) took me on a sideways journey that only a serious, one-armed effort could correct, even marginally.
To say that I was neither stylish nor graceful in my efforts would be a gross understatement. Of course, the point wasn’t to ace the exercise the first time out, but to get (and in turn, offer) a small sense of what people who depend on wheelchairs to get around, deal with on a daily basis.

Perspective on terror warningEditor:Re: Watts’ terror warning ‘fearmongering’, Sept. 23.
In my opinion, candidate Dianne Watts’ anti-terrorist brochure is appropriate and timely, if not late.
Humble and peaceful Canada of yesteryear is now under threat of extremism and it’s high time the naysayers took their heads out of the sand to see today’s realities. We need more intelligence distributed to the masses, not to instill fear, but to be informed enough to support those willing and able to protect our liberty.
I will support the policies of the political party with the gumption to put those policies into action. I’m not impressed with everything about the Conservatives but won’t have to hold my nose when voting for them either. Ted Rutledge, White Rock
I always like to check my figures, and so should political candidates.
In 2004, Judy Higginbotham lost to Russ Hiebert by 3,149 votes which happened at a time when no one really knew Russ as yet.
In 2008, when Russ had become heartily disliked by many of his constituents for his free-spending ways, he managed to beat Judy by 19,701. This was purely due to the fact that most of us voted for the party, not the individual.
This time around, Judy, I would not count my eggs before they hatch.
Regarding the not-so-appreciated flyer from the Conservatives – it is odd that people on the receiving end of these missives do not make their way to the Conservative office and let fly with their opinion.
Why complain at the Liberal and NDP office? It did make for nice headlines, though, didn’t it?
Purely political machinations which personally turn me right off. Edie Williams, Surrey
In your column (Political missteps and missed opportunities, Sept. 25), you chide South Surrey-White Rock candidates for waiting for someone to ask for their opinions.
Is it not your role, as a newspaper, to ask for their opinions?
When I inquired of one candidate why I hadn’t seen letters to the editor from him since the campaign started, I was told it is your policy not to print letters from candidates during an election period. I found that surprising but, if this is the case, it seems even more important that your paper be more proactive in asking all candidates for their views before printing an article.
That appears not to have happened with the Sept. 23 article, as neither Green party candidate Larry Colero nor Libertarian party candidate Bonnie Hu were even mentioned.
(Editor’s response: This letters page is for voters, as candidates have many opportunities to be heard. Dianne Watts’ leaflet targeted the Liberals and NDP, so their responses were integral.)
Hopefully your paper will provide more balanced coverage of our local candidates and act as a platform for them to express their views.Marilyn Koyanagi, Surrey
Ecological visionsEditor:Re: Paving way for parking, Sept. 18.

The city changed its motto from “City of Parks” to “The Future Lives Here”, and we are seeing clearly what the future is. The roads are currently congested with trucks and the air is polluted from their dirt and exhaust.
His position has created a public outcry, and hopefully, the public will be heard.
If not, then conservationists like myself will be driven out of Surrey, and this minority of the working population will continue to destroy our dwindling nature lands.R. Conley, Surrey
I just don’t get it. In Friday’s paper, I learned that the City of Surrey intends to appropriate the Riverside Golf Centre property to create a park (Civic expropriation to close Riverside, Sept. 25).
It is already a “green” area and the owner is willing to allow for a riverside walkway to be created on a
portion of the land.The week before, many readers
were shocked to hear of city plans to begin devastation of an environmentally sensitive and wildlife-rich area in Campbell Heights (Ecological area eyed for development, Sept. 26) – even to pave part of it for a truck-parking facility.
Why not leave the golf course – with the great idea of a riverside walkway – and make a park in the Campbell Heights area preserving its sensitive environment and wildlife habitat?
You could ask if Surrey’s left hand knows what its right hand is doing, or just call it a ludicrous paradox.Ann Harris, Surrey

Melissa Smalley photoRCMP officers arrive in council chambers Monday, after former councillor Margaret Woods refused to leave.
Editor:Once again we have appalling behaviour and actions
from Mayor Wayne Baldwin in chambers this week at Monday night’s regular White Rock council meeting.
The fact that he ordered the city clerk to call the RCMP to remove Margaret Woods because she was defending her right to speak at the public meeting process is simply appalling (Mayor calls in police to eject former councillor, Sept. 30). It is bullying at its best.
It’s an embarrassment that someone with the mayor’s experience would so offhandedly call in armed RCMP to remove a diminutive lady from the gallery, who is no threat to anyone.
Woods was cut off from exercising her Charter of Rights regarding free speech while at the mic. Baldwin then gave her a ridiculous ultimatum to apologize to basically everyone in the room for stating her opinion regarding the development proposal on the table.
At one point, Woods was chastised openly by a stakeholder in the crowd, and ultimately the mayor did not call a point of order on her. But a lady who was in support of Woods was asked for her name, and then Baldwin asked the city clerk if she had recorded it.
Baldwin has lost his perspective if he thinks calling in the RCMP to chambers for the second meeting in a row is the way to respect democracy here in Canada.
This is the fifth time this year he has done so.White Rock is, at the last time I looked, still in Canada
which has a very clear Charter of Rights.Garry Wolgemuth, White Rock
As a big fan of democracy, one of the saddest things I have ever witnessed was at White Rock City Hall on Sept. 14 (A city in turmoil, Sept. 16).
Those attending the rally calling for the resignation
of Mayor Wayne Baldwin were met at the door by an armed RCMP officer.
We will never know how many people were deterred from attending council by the armed police presence, nor will be never know how many voices were silenced by the police presence in the council chambers.
Armed-police presence in council chambers is a violation of the principles of parliamentary procedure that governs our local government and democracy.
The fact that Baldwin feels it necessary to have armed police in council chambers is testament to the magnitude of dissatisfaction among the people of White Rock. Ross Buchanan, White Rock
Return to harmonyWhat is going on? During the 21 years I have resided
in White Rock, I’ve never heard so many people express such intense anger and resentment directed towards a mayor and some council members.
Given recent observations in the Peace Arch News by Mayor Baldwin, he knows at least some of what people are saying about the all-too-many controversial decisions being made on behalf of White Rock citizens. Especially unsettling is the mayor’s comment in council: “…so the thought that everybody is taking money under the table and all those things are completely erroneous,” (A city in turmoil, Sept. 16).
Perhaps the mayor and a few councillors need to be completely transparent with the citizens they have been elected to serve, and share what is really going on.
Such action could bring harmony rather than the discord the present mayor and some council members have created among White Rock citizens.Loren Houldson, White Rock

A B.C. Supreme Court jus-tice found a 30-year-old Surrey woman guilty this week of the second-degree murder of her mother, calling the 2012 stabbing a “violent and vicious” intentional killing.
Gloria Zerbinos was convicted in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster on Tuesday.
Her mother, 43-year-old Pangi-ota (“Yota”) Zerbinos, was found dead in the daughter’s basement suite near 88 Avenue and 148A Street on Nov. 8 2012, a knife still protruding from her chest. The daughter was arrested and charged two days later at a Van-couver strip club.
Family members and friends of the victim cried as Justice Frits Verhoeven described the grue-some and brutal details of her
murder, while the daughter, wear-ing green prison garb with her dark curly hair now shoulder length, stared without emotion, as he read his judgment.
The victim was stabbed “at least” 24 times, with wounds found all over her body, including scalp, hands, arms, legs, chest and back, the judge said.
During the trial, the court heard that Gloria Zerbinos admitted to investigators she’d stabbed her mom but denied the killing was deliberate.
“We started arguing… I did confront her… it went sour and it went bad,” she said.
While the defence argued her previous admissions weren’t reli-able, Verhoeven disagreed, say-ing the circumstantial facts were “overwhelming.” He said from the evidence, it was clear the attack was “extremely violent” and lasted
some time.“The conclusion is inescapable
that the accused meant to stab the victim through the heart,” said Verhoeven. “She did so repeat-edly. The lethal intention… could hardly be more emphatically indi-cated.”
Earlier this year the judge denied that Gloria was not crimi-nally responsible for the murder. He reiterated his stance Tuesday, saying there was no evidence a mental condition impeded her capacity to know the attack would kill her mother.
Following the judgment, the vic-tim’s loved ones expressed relief, one saying he had little doubt of a guilty verdict.
“It is what it is,” said the victim’s husband, Trevor Forsyth, wiping away tears.
A sentencing hearing is sched-uled for Dec. 4.

The Surrey LRT project championed by
Mayor Linda Hepner is a step closer to reality, with the confirmation Monday that a Conservative federal government will fund one-third of the cost, up to $700 million.
Naturally, the Conservatives had Dianne Watts, Hepner’s popular predecessor and candidate in South Surrey-White Rock, make the
announcement, along with Industry Minister James Moore, who is not running in the election. Watts had been scheduled to make the announcement with Prime Minister Stephen Harper on Sept. 3, but the dramatic news about members of a Syrian refugee family
who had hoped to come to Canada and died at sea changed the focus of the planned news conference. LRT was not mentioned.
Hepner promised in last fall’s municipal-election campaign
that the first phase of LRT would be up and running by 2018. On Monday, she revised that estimate, saying that she now hopes work will be well underway by that time.
Coincidentally, the next municipal election rolls around in 2018.
Liberal candidate Sukh Dhaliwal, running in the Surrey-Newton riding, had earlier promised that the Liberals would also fund one-third of the LRT project. The NDP has promised additional infrastructure funding as well, and it’s likely an NDP government would back the Surrey project.
There are still several significant hurdles to climb for this project, which involves an initial street-level line from Newton to Whalley and Guildford, and another line down Fraser Highway as far as Langley City, to go ahead. Before it proceeds, there must be absolute commitments for funding from all levels of government.
The federal funding seems relatively secure. The province appears to be on board. Transportation Minister Todd Stone said Monday that it would fund one-third of the cost of the LRT lines.
It is an interesting about-face from the province’s 2008 position, when it insisted that the Evergreen Line project use SkyTrain technology before it would agree to help pay for it. That line, now under construction in Coquitlam and Port Moody, had been proposed as an LRT line.
There is significant opposition to any LRT lines within Surrey. Daryl Dela Cruz of SkyTrain for Surrey has been the most vocal, and has produced details showing that the time passengers spend travelling by an
LRT line won’t be much different from the time it takes buses and cars to traverse the same route.
Dela Cruz calls for extensions to the SkyTrain line and more bus rapid transit (BRT). Many people agree that SkyTrain should be extended. They would like to see additional track and guideway tacked on to the end of the SkyTrain line on Fraser Highway. The guideway has pointed towards Fleetwood and Langley for the past two decades.
The biggest obstacle – one that Hepner blithely ignored during the discussion leading to the referendum on the proposed sales tax increase to help fund transportation projects – is the source of local funds for the project.
Where will the local one-third share come from?
At this time, TransLink does not have funds to contribute. Surrey could go it alone, as Hepner suggested at times in the municipal election and TransLink referendum campaigns, but that would be prohibitively expensive for taxpayers. She had also suggested a P3 approach, as was done with the Canada Line, but taxpayers still must pay the private funders back.
It could be done with additional premium fares on the LRT, as is done on the airport extension of SkyTrain. It is certain some will come from property taxes as well. If Surrey taxpayers are the only ones to contribute to the LRT project, taxes would skyrocket.
If there is no commitment to a regional source of funds for the LRT line, it will be hard for it to proceed. It is possible that Peter Fassbender, the cabinet minister responsible for TransLink, will help the beleaguered organization find some ability to come up with more funds, but that won’t happen anytime soon.
It seems most likely that the line will be built. Given all the hurdles it still faces, it may be just getting started by the time Hepner’s next election campaign rolls around in 2018.

perspectives…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter
If there was one word Torrie Thomsen would use to describe herself, it’s lucky.
Last month marked the anniversary of the South Surrey resident’s breast-cancer diagnosis, news that shocked the then-28-year-old and her family and friends.
“It was certainly surprising, to say the least,” Thomsen, now 31, told Peace Arch News this week. “It was particularly shocking for me, just because I was young, healthy and active, and there is no family history.”
Thomsen’s cancer battle started when she noticed a lump on her breast, which she knew hadn’t been there for long. She immediately called her doctor, who set in motion a series of testing procedures.
Within a month of her discovery, Thomsen was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer.
While at the time, the news came as a huge blow, looking back, Thomsen said she believes the sequence of events – and how quickly she was diagnosed – played a huge part in her success fighting the disease.
“It was due diligence on all parts – myself and the medical community,” she said. “For that, I fortunately had quite an early diagnosis.”
Thomsen’s treatment spanned the better part of a year; she first underwent a single mastectomy, followed by several months of chemotherapy and radiation.
Three years later, she is cancer free, though she is still being treated with tamoxifen – an oral medication that can reduce the risk of her cancer reoccurring.
With the unwavering support of her
husband, Kellan, as well as her family and friends, Thomsen is now able to focus on the positives that have come from her experience.
This weekend, she will be the featured Survivor Speaker at the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation’s CIBC Run for the Cure at Bear Creek Park.
The event – which includes a one- or five-kilometre walk/run – is touted as the largest single-day, volunteer-led event for raising funds for breast cancer. And Thomsen said she is honoured to be a part of it.
“The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation has definitely contributed to my success, and I’m so grateful to them for that,”
Thomsen said. “For me to be able to speak there on (the survivors’) behalf, it’s a huge honour. And it is really a wonderful, community-focused event.”
Registration and donations for Sunday’s run are still being
accepted – more information can be found at www.cibcrunforthecure.com
The run is set to get underway at 10 a.m.For Thomsen, having been through a
breast cancer diagnosis and treatment before the age of 30, raising awareness of the disease – estimated to affect 25,000 Canadian women this year – is essential.
“We tend to think that this disease only affects older women or middle-aged women,” she said.
“I can’t tell you how many people I’ve heard of since my diagnosis who have been in their mid to late-20s, with the same diagnosis.”
“Know that this can affect you too, and be aware of your body. And know that an early diagnosis is your best defence.”

Heading out on the ferry from Tsawwassen, our family often scans the
water for whales or porpoises, but seldom think about other underwater creatures, many of which live in the Salish Sea.
Some are dramatic in shape and colour, such as the orange sea pen, a type of soft coral that grows up to 50 cm tall and looks like it belongs in a tropical ocean.
Because it lives in the subtidal zone, deeper than is revealed at the lowest low tide, the sea pen’s presence generally goes unrecorded.
I was surprised to learn we have colonies of these exotic-looking animals on Roberts Bank.
The orange sea pen is sometimes known as sea feather and it looks like an old-fashioned quill pen in an inkwell. It has a bulbous base that holds it in the sand, a rubbery central spine and a “feather” of polyps that move in the currents.
If disturbed, it will pull back into its base and bury in the mud.
One remarkable feature is its bioluminescence: if disturbed by a predator, the orange sea pen will glow with a green light to
scare the intruder.These soft corals live
in sheltered areas of the subtidal zone, with sandy substrate and a fair amount of current, but not too much turbulence.
Paula Romagosa at The Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre told me that colonies are common off Sidney and Pender Islands. They also live off the deep end of the Roberts Bank
port causeway and Tsawwassen ferry jetty.
Many formerly occupied areas in Puget Sound have been abandoned, for unknown reasons.
Sea pens eat drifting plankton, and are in turn eaten by sea stars and nudibranchs. With the current decline in sea stars, maybe sea pen populations will increase.
Port developments are unfortunately proposed within part of the orange sea pen habitat, so I asked John Parker-Jervis of Port Metro Vancouver what the future holds for this interesting species.
Parker-Jervis said that the port has been studying the feasibility of transplanting orange sea pens since April 2014. Three Roberts Bank locations have received 400 sea pens each, transplanted at densities of four to six sea pens per square metre, mimicking their natural distribution.
The transplants are regularly monitored, with the next checkup due soon, and, according to Parker-Jervis, appear to be thriving in their new locations.
The richness of our local ecosystem means there is always something new to discover, though not always easy to see.

Financial Highlights of the 2014-2015 fi scal yearOn May 1, 2015, the Ministry of Health, Fraser Health and the Foundation announced a comprehensive $65 million site redevelopment and expansion plan for Peace Arch Hospital. This project includes an upgraded and expanded emergency department along with a 200-bed complex care facility featuring 112 residential care beds, 73 mental health beds and a 15-bed hospice residence. This is our current fundraising priority and funds will be disbursed as construction progresses.
• Overall fundraising costs have remained stable over the last few years at an average of 22 per cent, which is well below Canada Revenue’s Agency’s guideline of 35 per cent for charities.
• Of the $15 million that the Foundation has committed to fund toward the ER renovation and expansion project, more than $9 million (and counting!) is being held for disbursement when construction gets underway in 2016.
• The Foundation is committed to fund $10 million for the new hospice residence housed in the residential care facility being built concurrently with the ER expansion. We have currently raised $4 million for this project.

Back in June, White Rock resident Myra Merkal set out on a fundraising walk along Spain’s 500-km long Camino de Santiago trail.
Now returned – and having raised $5,000 for the White Rock Firefighters Charity Association, with goals to build an all-abilities park in White Rock – Merkal is set to make two presentations about her journey, in hopes of inspiring others to make the same trek.
As well, Merkal – host and founder of White Rock’s annual Princess Party – is hoping the presentations will help
raise even more money for the all-abilities park.
Merkal completed the journey with her sister and three friends, and called the experience “beyond wonderful.”
Her two presentations are set for Wednesday, Oct. 21 (7-9 p.m.) and Thursday, Oct. 22 (2-3:30 p.m.) at Crescent Gardens Retirement Community.
To reserve a ticket, call Merkal at 604-716-2646 or Cathy, at 778-788-1244, or email either [email protected] or [email protected]

A White Rock fitness and social program that helps those with early symptoms of Alzheimer’s is in need of volunteers.
The Minds in Motion program, run by the Alzheimer Society of B.C., provides participants with an exercise routine, facilitated by a certified fitness instructor, as
well as one-on-one social time. Volunteers who have some
experience working with older adults and basic knowledge of dementia would be beneficial, according to a release.
The program takes place on Mondays from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m through Nov. 9 at the Kent
Street Activity Centre (1475 Kent St.).
For more information on volunteering, contact Danielle Duvauchelle at 604-449-5010 or [email protected]
Participants interested in registering for the program can call 604-541-2199.

Last month’s rains washed away any lingering fear that Metro Vancouver’s drinking water reservoirs might run dangerously low this year.
The regional district dropped its water restrictions again Sept. 22, from Stage 2 to Stage 1, the level that normally applies all summer from June through September,
but this fall it will stay in effect until Oct. 15.
That ends all unusual restrictions to combat the summer’s drought and means thrice weekly lawn sprinkling
in mornings is again permitted. Also allowed again is hosing of outdoor surfaces.
The region, except for groundwater-supplied White Rock, had been under Stage 3 restrictions from July 20 to Sept. 9, when they were eased to Stage 2.
Metro had only gone to Stage 3 once before, in 2003.

Too many health authority employees inappropriately snoop
in patient records and some deliberately dis-close sensitive information via social media or cellphones.
That’s one of the most serious types of breaches flagged by B.C. Information and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Den-ham in a new report on how the province’s health authorities safeguard privacy.
The report cites “cases of snooping where staff members access records of VIP or other patients out of curiousity or for malicious intent.”
It uncovered four cases
in 2013 of staff post-ing photos of patients
to Facebook or Instagram, and three cases of doctors or nurses taking photos.
Another nurse com-mented on a patient’s health information on Facebook.
“The (privacy commissioner’s office) has seri-
ous concern regarding health authority staff deliberately disclosing the sensitive personal information of patients through their own mobile devices and on social media,” the report said.
The report doesn’t
break down the num-ber or frequency of incidents between B.C.’s health regions.
Denham’s office has received 200 privacy breach complaints over 10 years from health authorities but suspects that’s just one per cent of the actual number of incidents.
Misdirected faxes were the single most common type of pri-vacy breach identified.
Lost or stolen records or mobile devices were most common among home health and com-munity care programs.
Half of health authori-ties reported problems with home care workers leaving patient records unsecured in their cars against policy.
Fraser Health told Denham’s office its privacy officers notify affected individuals in almost every privacy breach, in addition to the health region’s CEO.
There is no legal requirement for disclo-sure in B.C.
Data held by health authorities includes personal identifiers, financial information, health conditions, test results, medication used, as well as infor-mation on patients’ physical, mental and emotional status, as well as lifestyle and behaviour.
Denham issued 13 recommendations for action to reduce the risk of future privacy breaches.

arts & entertainment…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
Alex BrowneArts Reporter
It’s easy to be overawed by the reputation of Arthur Miller’s 1949 Pulitzer Prize play Death of a Salesman – and the
characters Willy and Linda Loman.Much has been written about the roles of
a hapless travelling salesman, who refuses to face the realities of his life and his failures, and the wife who stands by him stubbornly, even as his family unravels and his feet of clay become painfully evident.
They – and their two sons, Biff and Happy, are a Norman Rockwell family portrait gone wrong, tainted by frailty and disillusion.
The play itself can be – and often is – seen as a metaphor for a post-Second World War, mid-century malaise – a signpost of the American Dream gone askew, a sense that the American Determinism of the early 1900s has derailed.
But Fred Partridge and Jane Mantle, who play Willy and Linda in the White Rock Players’ Club upcoming revival directed by Ryan Mooney (Oct. 7-24 at Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd.) say the key to their performances is delineating Willy and Linda as real people – rather than legendary characters – and letting the audience draw whatever conclusions they will.
“People can get afraid of this,” Partridge said.
“When Miller wrote it, he wasn’t writing a ‘masterpiece’. He was writing a play that he thought would mean something and have some resonance with people. It was first and foremost meant to be an evening of entertainment in the theatre – and people, not knowing what it was about, liked it.”
A man naturally gifted at working with his hands, Willy has worked long hours for many years trying to be what he’s not – an avuncular, well-liked salesman who will someday find the magical key to success. Instead, he is being passed over and passed by – an anachronism in the modern world – and rapidly losing his grip on reality.
Biff, the eldest son, is a disappointment to him; he has not found his way to success as Willy understands it, while Happy, like his mother, works too hard at trying to keep the family together and paper over the cracks.
Partridge, longtime president of the White Rock Players’ Club, said he feels his job is to hang on to the naturalism suggested by Miller’s dialogue, which is, just as in real life, peppered with interruptions, half-expressed thoughts and apparent non-sequiturs.
“Willy is such a tragic figure that it’s hard to keep him from being just that, or taking it too far,” Partridge said. “It’s all about keeping the character real, keeping him grounded and allowing people to see him as a person and not a symbol. The symbolism is in the writing.”
Paradoxically, the more heart-rending parts of the script – as Willy slips into decline – are, Partridge said, the easiest parts for him to play.
“It’s because Fred is playing it so naturally – you see what is happening in the reactions,” Mantle said, adding that it’s through this that the work of actors Tom Gage as Biff and Edwin Perez as Happy becomes most moving.
“Tom is doing a wonderful job and Edwin is lovely – the play is so well-cast,” she said, agreeing with Partridge that they have all developed a strong sense of family through the rehearsal process.
“They see Willy making bad decision after bad decision – it’s almost as if you want to shout out ‘no, don’t do it,’” he said.
“Every time I play a scene, I feel like ‘maybe this time it’ll work out.’ Willy sort of thinks he operates in a vacuum. But the story is what other people think of Willy.”
Mantle said that Linda, too – in her need to be the embodiment of the loyal wife and mother – has unconsciously contributed to the trap she finds herself in.
“Society has boxed her in,” she said. “Before the war Willy was doing OK. Her role as the homemaker – that’s what she was.”
But by the time the play opens, Linda is at the point where her role has become her reason for being, Mantle said.
“She’s in denial a lot. We had a exercise at the beginning of the rehearsal period. We had to come up with a word to describe the character we were playing and I said ‘helpful’.
“I believe Linda thinks she is doing
everything for everyone around her. But in the end she is doing it all for herself.”
Also appearing in the show are Ken Cross as Willy’s brother Ben, Brian Wilson as the Lomans’ neighbour Charley, Sean Malczewski as his son Bernard, Josh Fuller as Willy’s new boss Harold and Rosemary Shuster as Harold’s secretary Jenny.
Rounding out the cast are Heather-Jane Robertson as The Woman, Kate Naylor as Miss Forsythe and Krystle Hadlow as Letta.
Evening performances are at 8 p.m. Wednesday to Saturday, with 2:30 p.m. Sunday matinees on Oct. 11 and 18.
A special ‘Talk Back Thursday’ feature, Oct. 15, will allow audience members to discuss the show with the cast and the director immediately after the performance.
Tickets ($22, $19 students, seniors and Coast Capital Savings members) can be purchased through www.whiterockplayers.ca, or from the theatre box office, 604-536-7535.

Fresh off a successful run at the Vancouver Fringe Festival, the South Asian Arts Society presents Mrs. Singh & Me Oct. 2-4 in Surrey.
Actor Munish Sharma (Iceland, This is War, I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Chicken) debuts his skills as a playwright in this dark comedy, which runs Oct. 2 and 3 at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m., and on Oct. 4 at 6 p.m. at the Newton Cultural Centre (13530 72 Ave.)
In Mrs. Singh & Me, love is in the air, but Mrs. Kuldeep Singh (Nimet Kanji, whose credits include Bollywood Wedding, The Violet Hour and Continuum) is having none of it.
Her instincts could be right, or she could be missing out on the best son-in-law she could ever ask for – Raj, whose methods are as extreme as his heart is sure.
Directed by Jessie Award-nominee Kathleen Duborg and produced by Gurpreet Sian and Rohit Chokhani, Mrs. Singh & Me confronts cultural traditions and tackles generational differences, along with a generous helping of chai and cookies.
“This has been a fun challenge for me,” says Sharma.
“I’ve never written a play before so it has been interesting and exciting to slowly watch the characters come alive. I chose to write this play because we all judge
people and ideas that we don’t understand. We fear concepts that are alien to us. I wanted to explore that as a writer and actor. I also wanted to write strong South Asian characters that represent strong cultural perspectives and expose not only South Asian themes, but Canadian themes as well.
“Above all, I hope the audience will interpret this as a play not only about South Asian culture, but about issues we all experience in Canada,” Sharma says.
“It’s a common South Asian story that takes place in the lives of
many people,” notes co-producer Sian, a member for the South Asian Arts Society.
He contends the play has a universal theme where relationships are cast aside due to culture, religion and tradition.
“All that darkness aside, it’s still a comedy,” he says.
Tickets to Mrs. Singh & Me are $20, available online at mrssingh.eventbrite.ca or in person at Kamal’s Video Palace, 8268 120 St. in Surrey.

“I’m inviting every different culture to come down here dressed in their traditional garb,” added Bali.

will be followed by a performance by Semiahmoo First Nation shortly after 1 p.m.
Other performances throughout the day include a Punjabi Gidha performance, the Oz Group Band, the Tam O’ Shanter and Bollywood dancers. German music at 4 p.m. will be followed by Truly Tina (a tribute to Tina Turner), a Bhangra troupe, the La Riva Phillipines Group, Arabic belly dance, Hindi songs and alt-pop duo Fionn (Alanna and Brianne) at 6:30 p.m.
An appearance by the O Cheng group and Bollywood Hungama performance will conclude with fireworks at 8 p.m.

sports…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
Nick GreenizanSports Reporter
A little more than 13 years ago, Geri Henry was walking past White Rock
Gymnastics, when she decided to pop in and inquire about a job.
Since coming to Canada a few years earlier – she emigrated from Jamaica in 1999 – the former elementary school teacher had worked a few odd jobs – part-time clerk at a department store, among others – but nothing came close to fulfilling her the way her teaching job had.
Not being able to teach in B.C. because she wasn’t properly certified here had come as something of a shock to her upon arrival in her new country – “It was a huge adjustment,” she admits – but she thought the gymnastics studio could help fill the void.
“I had no gymnastics background, absolutely not, but I just knew that I really wanted to work with kids, and thought that anything I could do with them would be a blessing. I talked to the owner and said maybe there was something I could do there – like an after-school program or something. She thought it was a good idea. That’s when I really found my way again.”
White Rock Gymnastics has changed since then – it’s now White Rock Gymnastics and Diving, and is located in a much bigger facility on Croydon Drive in South Surrey – but Henry, now a certified coach, has been a constant.
Every day, she arrives in the morning to lead programs for pre-school aged youngsters, and in mid-afternoon, hops in a van and makes the rounds of Semiahmoo Peninsula elementary schools, picking up kids registered in the after-school gymnastics programs.
“I just love the little kids – they’re my babies,” she says.
And though hundreds of children come through the doors of the gym each week, Henry has a unique gift of remembering nearly everyone’s names.
“There are girls who will come back in, 14 and 15 years old, and Geri will say, ‘Oh, hi Rachel,’ – she remembers their names from when they were here at four or five years old,” says Bev Boys, founder of White Rock Diving.
“Geri is amazing. She’s just an incredible person.”
Henry’s dedication to youth gymnastics was rewarded last week, when she was named recreational coach of the year by Gymnastics BC. She’ll receive the award Nov. 7 at an event in Burnaby.
Not one to bring attention to herself – “It’s all about the kids,” she says – the award came as something of a surprise, she
admits. “So many people get nominated,
so I didn’t expect it,” she said, adding that she got a little teary-eyed when fellow staff members discussed nominating her in the first place during a meeting months ago.
Though she did not grow up with younger siblings in Jamaica – Henry is an only child – she says working with young people has always come easy to her, and “is my whole life.”
“When I was four years old, I was teaching all the shrubs in my garden back home.”
After years working as a teacher,
Henry came to Canada because her mother, who had come to Canada decades earlier, and had been living in Montreal, decided to move to B.C.
“I didn’t want to move there – it was too cold. So when she moved here, I thought I would come, because who would take care of her when she gets old?”
Henry has one child herself, a 31-year-old son, Roemarr, who lives in Saskatchewan.
Through the years, she’s found that the key to working with children – especially groups of them at a time – is a simple one.
“Patience. Patience, patience,
and more patience. Sometimes I’ll have to have 10 cups of patience in the morning, but you have to remember that you were a kid once, too.”
Though it can be challenging at times – as any teacher or coach of youngsters will tell you – Henry relishes the opportunity to wear many different hats, even if it means long days and a few more “cups of patience.”
“You come through the door, and you put on your mommy-coat, and you’re in mommy-mode. And you’re the doctor, the nurse, the teacher, the babysitter, the coach – everything. It comes with the job,” she says.
She also goes out of her way to encourage her athletes in their activities, no matter their age, or if they’re taking part at a competitive level, or simply having fun on the trampoline or foam pit, which she says are the favourite activities of the pre-school crowd.
She has one mantra in particular that she often repeats: “Success is not something you do, it’s something you are.”
“You have to empower them. They’ll say ‘Oh, I can’t do that.’ But you just tell them that of course they can, they can do anything – and then they deliver.”
Though she came to White Rock Gymnastics without any experience in the sport, she was a very active child in Jamaica, playing cricket, soccer and track-and-field, and knows the skills and values gymnastics can teach.
“It’s a foundation for all sports, whether you want to be a hockey player, soccer or baseball player. Gymnastics teaches you so many skills – flexibility and balance, strength.”
Rather than look back and wonder how her life would have turned out had she not decided that day to walk through the doors of White Rock Gymnastics, Henry said she instead chooses to “live in the moment” and enjoy her time each day with her young athletes.
“People ask me if I miss having young kids, since my son is grown, and I say, ‘No, I have a lot of kids – all these kids are my babies.”

The top junior ‘A’ hockey prospects from across the country are coming to Surrey in the new year.
The Canadian Junior Hockey League – the governing body of the BC Hockey League, and other provincial junior ‘A’ circuits throughout Canada – announced Wednesday that the Surrey Eagles will host the 2016 CJHL Prospects Game, which is set for Jan. 26 at South Surrey Arena.
The prospects game is one of the premier junior ‘A’ events on the hockey calendar, and gives selected players the opportunity to play in front of scouts from the National Hockey League, as well as NCAA and Canadian universities and colleges.
“We’re very excited about hosting it,” said Eagles head coach Blaine Neufeld. “It’s a high-end competition and it’s a unique opportunity for us to be able to showcase what we’re doing here as an organization.”
The game also coincides with the team’s 25th anniversary season, which played at least a small part in Surrey being awarded the game.
“There is a great history of junior ‘A’ hockey in Surrey and with this being the 25th anniversary season… it’s the perfect time for them to host a special event like the (prospects game),” said BCHL commissioner John Grisdale in a news release.
The game is now in its 11th year, and was last held in B.C. during the 2011/12 season, when it was held in Langley.
Rosters for the game are selected through
a partnership with the participating leagues and NHL Central Scouting, which makes recommendations. Team East will be made up of players from the five eastern CJHL leagues – Northern Ontario, Ontario Junior (Greater Toronto), Central Canada (Eastern Ontario), Quebec and the Maritime Hockey League – while the West will include players from B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Superior International (Northwest Ontario) leagues.
Though the Eagles have no hand in roster selection, they may well end up with a player or two on the Team West roster. On Monday, NHL Central Scouting released its list of top draft-eligible players and Surrey forward Ty Westgard was among nine BCHL players on the list. He currently leads the team with six points.
“Ty is on that list, which is exciting, and we have a strong group of good, young players in that 1998-born age group,” said Neufeld, speaking of a group that includes goaltender Daniel Davidson, forward Darren Hards, and blue-liners Trent Huitema and Jeffrey Stewart.

The Valley West Hawks filled the net in two games against the Thompson Blazers last weekend, sweeping their BC Hockey Major Midget League series in Rich-mond by scores of 7-1 and 7-2.
The Hawks remain unbeaten four games into the season with a 3-0-1 (win-loss-tie) record, behind only the 4-0-0 Vancouver Giants.
“There are no easy games in the MML. Despite the scores, this weekend was no exception,” said Hawks head coach Jessie Leung. “Both were tight for most of the game until we capitalized on some power-play chances to pull away. We also got a chance to see some of the scoring depth we could have on our team, we had six players score their first MML goals, and hope to see that carry
through.”Ten of the 11 MML teams were
in Richmond last weekend for the Showcase Weekend.
Valley West, comprised of play-ers from Surrey, White Rock and North Delta, broke open Satur-day’s game with three second-period goals for a 4-0 lead after 40 minutes.
Christian Bosa paced the Hawks’ attack with four goals. Kabir Gill, Ilijah Colina and Carson Franklin also tallied for Valley West. Luka Burzan contributed with three assists, with Bobby Russell, Brad-ley Stonnell and Michael Farren adding two helpers each.
“We’re counting on Bosa to be an offensive leader for us this season. Saturday was a good sign,” said Leung. “We played Saturday without two of our best players in Ben Evanish and Ian Ross, but collectively picked up the slack.”
The Hawks received a pair of powerplay goals from Evanish in Sunday’s win. The White Rock resident now has seven goals in three games played, tops in the MML.
Calder Newson also scored twice, with Justyn Gurney, Far-ren and Bosa adding one each. Stonnell collected another three assists, with Farren earning a pair.
“I think we took the game for granted for the first period and the Blazers took it to us and out-worked us,” said Leung. “We really had to lean on Reece Klassen in net to bail us out of our poor play. Once we got our heads back into it we were able to pull away.”
The Hawks have a bye next weekend, then will play twice against the Vancouver Canadians Oct. 10-11. Face-off is 2 p.m. on Saturday, and noon Sunday at the Richmond Oval.

One White Rock-South Surrey Titans football squad came away with points on the weekend, as the association’s atom-division team earned a tie.
Playing on home turf at South Surrey Athletic Park, the Titans and New Westminster’s Royal City Hyacks played to a 14-14 deadlock. Both Titans’ touchdowns were scored by Ryder Kusch, who scrambled into the end zone behind excellent blocking by Ryan
Connell. Defensively, the team
played well, led by a strong performance by Dante Lavoie.
In peewee football action, White Rock was shut out 30-0 on the road against the North Surrey Cardinals.
The game stayed close in the early stages, highlighted by some strong defensive play from the Peninsula team – Bud Beliveau had an interception and Reggie Quintana made a handful of
tackles – but the Cardinals gained momentum over the final three quarters to earn the win.
The junior bantam Titans also lost last weekend to the Coquitlam Raiders.
The oldest Titans team, the midget squad, had a bye week last weekend, and will return to the field this Sunday, when they hop on the ferry and head to Vancouver Island to take on the Victoria Spartans.

Dobney’s top 5 tips
B Ask questions: What are the inspector’s qualifi cations? Is the inspector licensed? How long will the inspection take? What kind of report will you receive? In British Columbia, pre-purchase home inspectors are required by law to have a license, which is administered by Consumer Protection BC. When shopping for an inspector your questions should be answered by a knowledgeable person in a timely fashion.
C Hiring the company: You should hire an inspection company that encourages you to attend the inspection and is able to schedule it accordingly. By being there you will maximize the benefi ts of your inspection.
D Role of inspector: Your home inspector should never recommend whether or not you should purchase a home. The role of a home inspector is to tell you about the condition of the home not whether it is the right home for you. There could be multiple, signifi cant problems with the house that may already be refl ected in the price, or you may be able to renegotiate the price to pay for the required repairs. No house is perfect and anything can be fi xed.
E The bigger picture: A home inspection is only a piece in the home buying puzzle. The results should be combined with your own diligence. It’s my observation, after thirty years in the home inspection business, that the buyer who works hardest at looking for a house (usually with the assistance of a competent Realtor) makes the best choice.
F Unbiased assistance: Use a company that has on-going, complimentary telephone support to answer any technical questions you have about your home for as long as you own it. Your home inspector should not be selling any repair or maintenance services and, as such, should be able to give you an unbiased answer to your question.
Hiring a home inspector: Avoiding unfortunate surprisesBy Nicolle Hodges
Two people walk into a house; one sees the issues and the other does not. It may sound like the begin-ning of a joke, when in real-ity a proper home inspection is a serious step in the home buying process that is recom-mended to involve a Certi-
fi ed Home Inspector and not rely solely on the homebuyer. Technically there are no government regulations that require a home inspec-tion, but the risk is that if a problem is overlooked, it can end up costing more money down the line.
When it comes to home inspections, it’s safe to say
that James Dobney of James Dobney Inspections knows what he’s doing. His com-pany has performed tens of thousands of pre-purchase home inspections. He says that he’s seen the industry change from a time when only about 5 percent of homebuyers used a home inspector, to today, when approximately 95 percent of resale homes are inspected prior to purchase.
“Th e thing that has sur-prised me the most over the past thirty years of inspect-ing homes is how little most homeowners know about the condition of their homes,” says Dobney. “Th is, per-haps, can be explained by the fact that the majority of homeowners don’t have the knowledge to determine the condition of many of the systems in their home until they fail. Th e phrase, ‘out of sight, out of mind,’ may also explain the lack of knowl-edge of many homeowners.”
Dobney implores home-owners to ask themselves when was the last time they went into the crawlspace, attic or onto the roof? Would they be able to identify an
existing or potential problem even if they did?
While it isn’t practical to hire a home inspector to look at every home you are con-sidering, a comprehensive checklist can be a signifi cant benefi t when looking to pri-oritize which home to place an off er on.
Some inspection com-panies, including James Dobney Inspections, are will-ing to send out a checklist to assist homebuyers in their search.
“A good checklist will help you narrow the fi eld and increase the odds of fi nding the home of your dreams,” says Dobney.
However the checklist ex-ecuted by the homeowner is just the fi rst lookover. Th ere are still many benefi ts to hir-ing an actual home inspector.
According to Dobney, the home inspection should help determine if signifi cant repairs are required, how the condition of the home com-pares to one of a similar age and design, and what kinds of maintenance should be performed to keep the home functioning properly.
“Knowing the condition of the home you are intending to buy is vital in determin-ing whether it is the right home at the right price,” says Dobney.
If you want a proper home inspection but are unsure about the cost, consider that typically, the larger, older and more complex the home the higher the fee will be.
“Th e inspection fee for most single-family homes will be in the $400 to $800 range. Be wary of ‘one size fi ts all’ pricing,” says Dobney.
TIPS FOR BUYING
“An inspection process begins with a knowing eye—
and a sharp pencil.”
