SHEILA REYNOLDS

The Crown’s case against the man accused of killing Surrey teen Serena Vermeersch last year was laid out in court this week.

A preliminary hearing into charges against Raymond Caissie opened Wednesday morning in Surrey Provin-

cial Court. The actual trial will come later, if a judge determines there is sufficient evidence to proceed.

Evidence from preliminary inquiries is subject to a publication ban and cannot be published.

Caissie is charged with second-de-gree murder in Vermeersch’s death on

Sept. 15 of last year. The 17-year-old’s body was discovered the next evening in an area next to a cedar mill near 146 Street and 66 Avenue. Caissie, who is now 44, was arrested four days later in Vancouver.

An emotional first encounter between a newly arrived Syrian refugee family and their local Mennonite church sponsors Monday night is expected to be replicated for weeks and months to come at YVR and other B.C. air-ports.

A handful of new Syrian refugees have arrived in B.C. in recent days and around 30 more are expected by the end of this week, ac-cording to Chris Friesen of the Immigrant Ser-vices Society of B.C.

Monday’s arrivals at Vancouver International Airport – a Syrian cou-ple and their 18-month-old son destined for an apartment in Richmond

– were met with hugs, gifts and “Welcome to Canada” signs in English and Arabic.

The father, Samer Alragheb, speaking through a transla-tor, said it was his dream to come to Canada and have his son take his first steps here.

Gerd Bartel, a Delta resident who is part of a local church sponsor group and also heads donor relations for the Mennonite Central Committee in Abbotsford, predicts similar scenes will unfold across B.C. and fuel the already intense appetite of B.C. residents to sponsor refugees.

“Three young moms from our church were all there and they brought all the other little children. They had three-year-olds giving presents to the new little one-year-old,” he recounted.

“This welcoming of hugs and presents – that’s what the power of families connecting with families can do.”

Bartel said the Fraser Valley is proving particularly fertile ground, with new groups of prospective sponsors – some church-based, some not – emerging daily to seek Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) organizational help.

Cloverdale could soon be home to a refugee family, thanks to a group that’s spearheading Pacifi c Community Church’s eff orts to resettle one family as refugee sponsors.

Teunis Schouten is part of a core group of members who are committed to helping the newcomers adjust to their surroundings in Can-ada – from helping them fi nd somewhere to live, to pointing them towards immigrant services, to assisting with job searches.

“Th ere are so many people on the run from their governments, or where they’re being tortured or persecuted or fearing for their lives,” Schouten said. “Why wouldn’t we open up our doors and try to make a diff erence for at least one family?”

As sponsors, the group will need to have at least $40,000 – enough money to support a family of four for one year in Surrey, with a year-long objective of seeing them through to becoming fi nancially independent.

Pacifi c is part of the Christian and Missionary Alliance of Canada, which has been actively encour-aging member churches to become involved with refugee sponsorships. Th e CMAC is a Sponsorship Agreement Holder with Citizen and Immigration Canada, meaning Pacifi c is able to sponsor a family from a list of pre-screened refugees who qualify to come to Canada.

Privately sponsored refugees will form a large portion of the 25,000 Syrians the federal government has planned to resettle by February 2016.

Priority one is appealing to the wider Cloverdale community for available housing in the immediate area for two to six weeks, along with fi nancial donations, ideally by Dec. 15 so the next step in the process can get underway as soon as possible.

“We’re hoping to have those funds ready before Christmas,” Schouten said.

Th e group doesn’t ex-pect to raise all $40,000 needed but would prefer to be at least part way to that goal.

“Once we have a thresh-old of funds, we will be confi dent that we can do this,” he said. “For-ty-thousand dollars is already tight in Surrey for a family of four.”

Like so many peo-ple around the world, Schouten was heartsick at images of the mounting Syrian refugee crisis in Europe, particularly that of the lifeless body of toddler Alan Kurdi, who drowned along with his brother and mother on a perilous journey on a small open boat to Greece in September.

“I felt helpless,” said Schouten, an immigrant who made his own jour-ney to Canada in 1994 from Th e Netherlands at the age of 23, and who realized he wasn’t able to sit idly by without trying to do something to help.

As a family, the Schoutens have decided to forgo expensive Christ-mas presents, and instead focus on helping refugees.

When told there would

be “no $200 Lego set” under the Christmas tree this year, his boys, aged eight and 10, said “no problem.” Th ey didn’t need to be persuaded to spend that money on someone else who really needs it, Schouten said.

“We have essentially ev-erything we need in this part of the world. Why not make it a ‘heart gift’?” he explained. “Some-thing that goes from one human heart to another human heart?”

It’s also not known if the family will be from Syria or from another country. Schouten said various estimates put the number of refugees worldwide at nearly 20 million – with 25 per cent of those being victims displaced by the Syrian crisis.

Th e group is inviting the wider community to help out and be part of a local response to a global issue.

“I’d love to see other churches, and other faith communities start rally-ing, or perhaps do their own thing,” he added.

For now, donations of household items are not being accepted.

He estimates at least 75 Syrian refu-gee families are likely to be sponsored in the Valley over the next year, many of them settling in Abbotsford-Mission or Chilliwack.

“Just about every night someone’s heading to another group to talk and help them set up,” he said.

Rent is much more afford-able in the Fraser Valley than Vancouver and Bar-tel is confident a strong community network will be in place, along with appro-priate worship space for Muslims even in communi-ties without mosques.

Sponsor groups typically arrange housing, furniture and other needs as well as a significant amount of cash – typically $25,000-plus – to cover rent and groceries for a year.

Donations are in some cases funnelled to some sponsor groups from other people who want to help financially but can’t form their own group.

MCC has acted as interme-diary for numerous sponsor groups with the federal government.

“A large part of them ar-en’t part of the Mennonite community,” Bartel added. “We’re just facilitating for anybody.”

He once helped resettle six families of Vietnamese boat people 35 years ago

and says Canada is much better orga-nized this time.

Syrian families arriving now land with Arabic interpreters standing by at the airport, and usually Arabic-speaking doctors already arranged for them. Health coverage is provided by B.C. immediately without a wait period.

Bartel noted the Canadian response is in stark contrast to that of the U.S., where his Mennonite counterparts are gloomy about their dim prospects to welcome Syrians.

“It’s kind of sad when you’ve got the largest econ-omy and strongest country in the world and refugees aren’t coming.”

Friesen said large num-bers of Syrians arriving in Canada by the plane load could begin by January.

Incoming refugees land initially in Montreal or Toronto and may spend a night or two at a military base before flying to B.C.

About 200 additional gov-ernment-assisted refugees are to come to B.C. by the end of the year, in addi-tiuon to the ones that are privately sponsored.

Friesen said the Immi-grant Services Society of B.C. has had 460 offers of rooms in private homes to house refugees.“Quite a few of the hous-

ing leads are in North Delta, which is a non-traditional destination.”

Bill Bennett’s time as premier of B.C. ended almost 30 years ago, in the summer of 1986. Th e era in which he governed is a distant memory to some. For others, it was long before their time.

Bennett died last week at the age of 83. He had been mostly out of the public eye since leaving the premier’s offi ce. However, his 10-and-a-half years as premier led to B.C. entering the modern era that we are part of today. Th ey turned B.C. into much more than a resource-based economy and the province’s political apparatus also changed dramatically.

Th ese changes had a signifi cant eff ect on Surrey, Delta and White Rock. Decisions made by his gov-ernment still have a direct eff ect.

Th e biggest single change came as a result of two related decisions – the decision to host a world’s fair called Expo ’86 on former rail yard land in downtown Vancouver, and the decision to build a rapid transit line called SkyTrain.

Expo was controversial. A num-ber of politicians and community leaders said it would be a waste of funds and expressed doubt that many people would bother to come. However, the decision to build a rapid transit line in conjunction with it changed many people’s minds.

Expo was a tremendous success from the time it was opened by Prince Charles and Princess Diana. It attracted visitors from all over the world and almost immediately

led to signifi cant boosts in invest-ment, housing starts and property values. It truly put B.C. on the world map.

Around the same time as the SkyTrain decision was made, the province also decided to build the Alex Fraser Bridge. It signifi cantly changed traffi c, growth and devel-opment patterns, particularly in North Delta and North Surrey.

Th e original SkyTrain Expo line and the bridge opened in 1986, the year Bennett stepped aside. His successor, former Surrey MLA Bill Vander Zalm, and local MLAs Rita Johnston and Bill Reid, ensured SkyTrain was extended to Surrey, as had been originally promised. It arrived at Scott Road station in 1990 and came to Whalley in 1994.

For the fi rst time, Surrey had a decent transit system. Prior to the opening of SkyTrain, the few local residents who used the transit system mainly used a number of express buses into Vancouver from Guildford, Whalley, North Delta and South Surrey-White Rock.

Th e Bennett government did a great deal more. Th e shift to get rid of locally elected hospital boards (and centralize the health system) had its start when the province re-placed the elected Surrey Memori-al Hospital board with a provincial administrator, after a standoff on abortion services.

Delta Hospital fi rst opened in

his time as premier, in 1977. Th is off ered convenient acute health care to South Delta residents, who previously had to travel to Rich-mond or Whalley.

Th e Bennett government also reaffi rmed the Agricultural Land Reserve, which had been brought in by the previous NDP govern-ment of Dave Barrett. Th ere had been a furor over the ALR in the Barrett years, but the decision to keep it in place ensured the best farm land in Surrey and Delta remained in cultivation.

Social Credit was a true coali-tion under one party banner in Bennett’s era, and this area elected mostly Socred MLAs. Vander Zalm, who had been mayor of Surrey, was a notable recruit when the party rebuilt to challenge the incumbent NDP government in the 1975 election. He held a num-ber of important cabinet portfolios until 1983.

In the hard-fought 1983 election, Surrey proved a crucial battleground and the party used many sophisticated techniques to identify and get its vote out. Johnston and Reid were elected in the two-member Surrey riding, and Bennett won his third term in offi ce.

His legacy to this province and this region is considerable.

Frank Bucholtz writes weekly for The Leader.

Today’s political leaders would do well to take lessons from the ambition and respon-sible foresight of the late Bill Bennett.

With only a little political eff ort, the positive derivative benefi ts to Greater Vancouver, and to B.C. and Canada gener-ally, resulting from the province hosting Expo ’86 and the building of Skytrain rapid transit lines could be replicated in Surrey.

Th e industrial park wasteland where Surrey borders the Fraser River and New Westminster would be ideal as a world exposition site.

Afterwards, this area could be re-devel-oped with mixed-use highrises and park-land, emulating Vancouver’s downtown business district and Coal Harbour, thereby reducing the region’s housing shortage and attracting corporate head offi ce clients, along with hi-technology design, research and development fi rms.

Bennett would never have accepted the cheap-as-possible, at-roadway-level rapid transit system that is currently proposed for Surrey – eff ectively buses travelling on rails run along already busy roadways. Bennett would demand a rapid transit system for Surrey that would be perceived interna-tionally as a world beater – and certainly no worse than the 30-year-old, but still excel-

lent, above-the-roadway Skytrain. Th e fi rst step would be for the B.C. gov-

ernment to work with the new federal gov-ernment to reinstate Canada as a member of the Bureau of International Expositions – the body that awards international expos to countries – by paying the $25,000 annual fee the previous Conservative government reneged on, starting in 2012. Following this, on behalf of the City of Surrey, B.C. should submit a bid for a future exposition.

Ridiculous? Impossible? Insurmount-able? Maybe that’s what some would have thought in the 1980s.

Bill Bennett clearly didn’t, and we are all benefi ciaries as a result.

Roderick V. Louis, White Rock

We are heading into a time of year that often causes old hurts to surface. It is very common for men to choose to isolate and not ask for help.

I am asking them to consider reaching out to local organizations such as churches, mental health centres, etc. for their support.

Th is is also a time of year where holiday cheer is shared. I invite them to consider the impacts of excessive alcohol and food on their health and well-being.

I also invite them to connect with family and friends and to enjoy the special moments near a warm fi re – sharing stories, etc.

Please remember that how you treat yourself is how you treat others. So be gentle and look for the simple joyful moments. Take care of yourself.

Caissie sat in the prisoner’s box during Wednes-day’s hearing, wearing red prison-issue clothing, his head shaved, with tattoos visible on his arms and neck and one of a teardrop under his right eye. He often leaned his head against the wall behind him and at some points, appeared to close his eyes.

Caissie’s arrest last year sparked particular outrage as he had been released from prison in 2013 after serving a 22-year sentence for a violent sexual as-sault and robbery in Abbotsford in 1991. At the time of his release, the B.C. Corrections Branch issued a warning to the public that he planned to live in Sur-rey and was considered at high risk to re-off end.

Prior to the 1991 conviction, which involved the rape of a 21-year-old student at knifepoint, Caissie had convictions of sexual assault, committing in indecent act and assault as a youth. Parole Board of Canada documents indicate that since the age of 15, he has spent only a couple of years out of jail and often voluntarily moved from medium-security institutions to maximum as he was more comfort-able there.

During parole reviews, Caissie agreed he wasn’t equipped to Iive outside prison and had no commu-nity support or employment skills.

Between 2006 and 2013, the parole board repeat-edly denied releasing him before his sentence was fi nished, at which time his release was mandatory

Th e preliminary hearing on Caissie’s Surrey murder charge was scheduled to continue through Friday.

RCMP seek hit-and-run suspectKEVIN DIAKIW

A man who died after being found on a road in Bridgeview was the victim of a hit-and-run.

Police say a 26-year-old man found badly injured in the middle of the road in the 12600-block of King George Boulevard last Friday was hit by a motorist who took off after the collision.

Th e Surrey man was found with serious injuries at 11:55 p.m. on Dec. 4 and was tended to by paramedics who tried to revive him.

He was taken to hospi-tal, where he died.

Initial reports were the man may have fallen off an overpass, but there were no witnesses.

Police now believe the man was hit by a red Honda Prelude, model year 1997 to 2001.

Investigators found a bumper torn from the vehicle, possibly after impact, leading police to believe it was the cause of the man’s injuries.

“If you have seen a red 1997 to 2001 Honda Prelude missing a piece

of its front bumper, our investigators want to hear from you,” said Surrey RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann. “Any little bit of information could help offi cers advance this investigation and fi nd the person respon-sible.”

Surrey RCMP reminds pedestrians and drivers to be mindful of the reduced visibility at this time of year. Drivers need to slow down and pedestrians need to wear bright clothing to reduce the likelihood of a collision.

Anyone with more information about this collision is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or solvecrime.ca

Two shootings in 15 hours

Surrey RCMP are investigating a second shooting in Newton in less than a day.

Surrey RCMP were called to a Newton

home at about 2:30 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 8 after reports of shots fired at a house near 132 Street and 78 Avenue.

When police arrived, they found bullet holes in windows, broken glass and a number of shell casings.

It was the second shooting in 15 hours in Newton, both drive-by shootings of homes in the area.

On Monday, Dec. 7, at about 11:40 a.m., police responded to calls of a home shot

at in the 12700-block 67B Avenue. There were two adults and two children home at the time.

As a result of that shooting, four schools were locked down for a short time.

No one was hurt in either shooting. Police have no suspects and could not say whether the two shootings are related.

Anyone with further information who has not already spoken to police is asked to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.

KEVIN DIAKIW

Th ey never met him, but they had important memorabilia – such as a trench war diary, service medals and wartime paperwork – that was all stolen last week from a North Surrey home.

At 18 years old, Alfred Hill-man joined the British Regular Army in 1908 and served every minute of the First World War from 1914 to 1918 as one of the Lancashire Fusiliers, an elite line infantry regiment.

Even though they never met, Hillman’s granddaughter and grandson were able to cull infor-mation about him from some of the things he saved.

Th ey were all kept in a round green hat box.

A few medals were in a case indicating Hillman’s time of ser-vice. Also in that case is a small piece of shrapnel that was taken out of his knee.

One of the true gems in the hat box was a trench warfare diary, where Hillman wrote what happened in battle on a frequent basis.

Last Wednesday (Dec. 2), some time between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m., someone broke into a rel-ative’s North Surrey home near 106 Avenue and 125 B Street and stole the hat box containing all the memorabilia.

Other things were taken too,

including a cam-era and “mostly junk,” as Hill-man’s grandson describes it.

Whoever broke in was hungry, as they also helped themselves to food in the fridge.

Th e family is pleading with whoever took the green hat box fi lled with Hillman’s war-time memories to return it, no questions asked.

Th e memora-bilia is worthless for someone looking for cash, but priceless for the family.

Th e hat box is olive green felt, about eight inch-es across and six inches high.

Anyone who knows the whereabouts of the hat box is asked to call the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502, or to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Police are asking for public assistance in fi nding the person

responsible for killing a family man and volun-teer last month.

Th e Integrated Ho-micide Investigation Team (IHIT) is hoping for a break in a homi-cide that took place in Newton.

During the early hours of Saturday, Nov. 21, Surinderpal Hehar was

gunned down near 152 Street and 66 Avenue.

“Hehar was a family man with young children, an active volunteer in his commu-nity, and

well known by many,” IHIT Sgt. Stephanie Ashton said in a release last Friday.

IHIT is asking anyone who was in that area after midnight to contact them.

“It is the people who

were moving about in the area who may have information that could move this investigation forward,” Ashton said. “IHIT is also looking for anyone who saw a dark coloured compact sedan moving about the neighbourhood to contact them.”

Police have described it as a targeted shooting and that circumstances indicate Hehar was the intended victim.

Anyone with infor-mation regarding this investigation can call the IHIT tipline by calling 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or email at [email protected]

If you wish to remain anonymous, provide your tip information on the web at solve-crime.ca or by phone at 1-800-222-8477.

A single mom has been living on the street for some time and her child is missing school more frequent-ly.

Just a week ago, the woman’s ex-husband beat her.

Her situation, and that of her family, is deemed extremely high risk.

Enter the Surrey Mobilization and Resil-iency Table (SMART), a collection of several social agencies work-ing together to devise the best plan for the woman.

SMART has been at work in Whalley for about three weeks but was just offi cially unveiled on Monday at city hall.

Th e table of experts involves the city, the province, Fraser Health, RCMP, Surrey School District, social service providers such as the Lookout Society, Solutions to Homeless-ness and the private sector.

Th e above scenario,

described by Look-out Society Deputy Executive Director Jodi Sturge, is the kind of situation where SMART would initiate action.

Several concerns would be quickly addressed, including finding the mother and child a stable housing environment and ensuring the ex-partner doesn’t attempt further vio-lence.

Once the group has decided the case is a priority, an interven-tion is executed within 24 to 48 hours.

SMART is based on a program called “Hub” in Prince Albert, Sas-

katchewan – a model that has been initiated in other communities in Canada and the U.S. as well.

It has been instru-mental in addressing high-risk factors found in child protection cases, violent crimes and emergency room admissions.

SMART is the fi rst Hub-like model to launch in B.C.

Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner called SMART a “game changer” for peo-ple in Surrey dealing with complex social issues.

SMART will focus on those at-risk in Whalley during the initial phase of the project.

▶ NEW GROUP WILL FAST-TRACK SERVICES FOR THOSE WHO NEED IT MOST IN WHALLEY

SMART approach to crisis

A new Surrey partnership has committed more than $1 million to research better care for youth struggling with ad-dictions and those coping with mental illness.

Th e John Volken Academy (JVA), SFU, the City of Surrey and the Surrey Fire Fighters’ Charitable Society have con-tributed $1.25 million for the

creation of the SFU Chair in Technology Innovations for Youth Addiction Recovery and Mental Health.

JVA and the city are each com-mitting $500,000 to the project, while the Surrey Fire Fighters Charitable Society is granting $250,000.

SFU is providing funding for support staff , travel costs and expenses related to the new centre, which will be located in the JVA near 68 Avenue and King George Boulevard.

Th e JVA is a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment centre for young men and women aged 19 to 34.

Th e new centre will lead re-

search, be part of a larger youth mental health initiative with the city, and teach biomedical engi-neering and health technology at SFU – with a focus on substance abuse and mental illness.

It’s all part of of Innovation Boulevard, a collection of health, higher education and entrepreneurial technology businesses in the area.

“What strikes you right away is how innovative Th e John Volken Academy is in helping young people aff ected by addic-tion. Partnering with lead-ing-edge science makes perfect sense,” said Dr. Ryan D’Arcy, founding chair of Innovation Boulevard.

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLANNUISANCE MOSQUITO CONTROL

The purpose of this Pest Management Plan (PMP) No. 700-0004-2016/2021 is to reduce overall mosquito annoyance within the Corpora on of Delta by controlling larval development using an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach to control. The PMP focuses on larval mosquito control ini a ves and uses public educa on, physical site modi ca on and biological controls to reduce larval mosquito popula ons and conserve, or enhance, natural mosquito predators wherever possible and includes the use of non-persistent, bacterial larvicides.

The proposed dura on of the PMP is from 15 April 2016 to 14 April 2021. Larvicide products proposed for use include Vectobac 200G, which contains the natural-occurring soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis, (PCP #18158) and VectoLex CG (PCP # 28008) and VectoLex WSP (PCP # 28009) made with the related bacterium Bacillus sphaericus. These products provide species-speci c control of mosquito larvae and are non-toxic to other organisms including insects, sh, birds, wildlife, man and domes c animals.

Mosquito larvae require stagnant or non- owing waters, temporary or permanent, to develop. Development habitats include salt marshes and freshwater marshes, ponds, ditches and catch basins and other open water habitats which may produce larval mosquitos. When physical altera ons (draining, lling) are neither prac cal or desirable, developing larvae will be treated using VectoBac 200G or VectoLex larvicides. Total area for larvicide treatment is not to exceed 125 hectares of public lands in each year of the PMP. Applica ons of Vectobac and VectoLex will be made using ground-based, hand-broadcast or motorized backpack spreader methods. All applica ons will be conducted within the Corpora on of Delta.

This Pest Management Plan is being prepared for the Corpora on of Delta by D.G. Regan and Associates Ltd., an environmental services rm with extensive experience in pest management plan development and local mosquito control opera ons. Informa on on proposed treatment areas, annual mosquito control program opera ons and this PMP are available for viewing by the public on Delta’s website at www.delta.ca or by email [email protected] or telephone at 604-946-3253 or by request to the O ce of Climate Ac on and Environment, The Corpora on of Delta, 4500 Clarence Taylor Crescent, Delta BC V4K 3E2. For VectoBac or Vectolex product informa on please see the manufacturer’s website www.valentbiosciences.com

A person wishing to contribute informa on regarding a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of this Pest Management Plan, may send copies of the informa on to Delta’s O ce of Climate Ac on and Environment at the contact addresses above, within 30 days of the publica on of this no ce. The iden ty of any respondents and the contents of anything submi ed in response to this no ce and applica on will become part of the public record.

Opposition to a proposed truck parking facility on the Surrey/

Langley border is about more than the envi-ronment, according to a panel of speakers at a community meeting last weekend.

Th e event, which saw more than 150 people pack the Semiahmoo Fish and Game Club, was hosted by Friends of Hazelmere/Camp-bell Valley, a group that formed in September and has spoken out

against the proposal. At issue is an applica-

tion to build a 77-acre commercial truck park at 16 Avenue and 194 Street, proposed by Surrey Coun. Tom Gill, who has cited the need for such a facility, noting 1,300 big rigs are parked illegally throughout the city.

Parm Garcha, a pro-ponent of the applica-tion put forth by GG

Metro Holdings Ltd., said last month that his group was “making sure we address each and every concern to the fullest.”

While many in oppo-sition to the proposal have expressed envi-ronmental concerns for the Little Campbell River, which runs adjacent to the prop-erty, David Anderson, director of the A Rocha Brooksdale Environ-mental Centre, said Sunday that concerns are shared by a “diverse cross-section” of stake-holders.

“Th ere are a lot of issues at play with this development,” Anderson told the crowd. “Th is is not a truckers-versus-envi-ronmentalists issue; that’s a caricature, and a grossly simple one.”

Topics discussed by the panel included the state of the trucking industry and eff ects of extensive deregulation over the past 15 years; the future of traffi c and industry along 16 Avenue; food security for the region and for the Semiahmoo First Nation; and safety of the nearby river.

A prevalent senti-ment was the notion that providing truck parking is a provincial responsibility, as Bob Donnelly, president of the Semiahmoo Fish and Game Club, point-ed out.

Acknowledging that there is “absolutely” a need for truck-parking facilities, Donnelly pointed to the pro-vincial government’s 10-year transporta-tion plan, released in March, which calls for “priority locations for new and expanded parking and other truck-related facilities.”

He also noted an in-terview with Transpor-tation Minister Todd Stone a few weeks pri-or to the plan’s release in which he said he was prepared to deliver two truck parking facilities in Surrey.

“Th e province should be able to stand up and say we will come up with a truck parking facility,” Donnelly said. “Why are we looking to a private-sector group to deliver something like that?”

David Klassen, a retired commercial transport worker and former transportation committee chair for Unifor Local 114, also pointed the fi nger at the provincial and federal governments, who he said should be provid-ing adequate places for truckers to rest and service their vehicles.

Klassen explained how extensive deregu-lation in the industry and subsequent “down-loading of costs” has resulted in “razor-thin profi t margins and unsustainable defi cits”

for owner/operator or lease/operator truck-ers, and said it made no sense to have “the poorest truckers pay for the most expen-sive land,” under the proposed facility.

“Th e way the provin-cial and federal gov-ernments have treated trucking companies and commercial trans-port workers by not providing good – let’s call them what they are – rest stops and service facilities, is an absolute disgrace,” Klassen, a longtime Surrey resi-dent, said.

Th e future of 16 Avenue was addressed by Kevin Mitchell, a Langley resident with 33 years experience in the engineering and manufacturing industry.

Mitchell outlined the history of 16 Avenue and the frequency of serious accidents along the designated truck route, including an Oct. 28 crash between two dump trucks and

a minivan that he said resulted in a diesel spill into the Little Camp-bell River.

Noting the B.C. Chamber of Commerce is lobbying to have the road designated as a provincial high-way, Mitchell said he suspects the truck-park proposal is “the begin-ning of the industrial-ization of 16 Avenue.”

Speaking on behalf of Semiahmoo First Na-tion, councillor Joanne Charles said the band has “a lot of concerns” about the proposal, notably the band’s reliance on fi sh from the “sacred water” as a food source.

“Th e City of Surrey and the proponent should be talking to us, government to government,” Charles said. “Unfortunately, that has not happened. I’m just trying to let everybody know the best I can that nobody has consulted with us.”

Grant Rice, found-ing member of the

Surrey Urban Farm-ers’ Market, carried on the topic of food security, pointing to the province’s strategic agriculture plan, which calls for an additional 91,000 hectares of des-ignated farmland, and noting the Hazelmere Valley as an “excellent” place for growing food.

“We have great policy, but we don’t have great action,” Rice said, refer-encing the City of Sur-rey’s Offi cial Commu-nity Plan, sustainability charter and agriculture enhancement and pro-tection strategy.

On the topic of environmental impact – specifi cally the health of the Little Campbell River – Jim Armstrong, former Metro Van-couver environmental planner, did not mince his words.

“You alter 77 acres of truck park, that stream is dead,” Armstrong said, noting he has 20 years of research on the river under his belt.

In Canada we are hearing about pending legislation to legalize, for recreational use, the drug marijuana. In the US, while marijuana

remains prohibited under federal law, 23 states have eased access for medical use and four states plus Washington, DC. now allow recreational use.

Canadians recently elected a federal government committed in campaign promises, a mandate letter to the new Minister of Justice, and its fi rst speech from the throne to creating “a federal-provincial-territorial process that will lead to the legalization and regulation of marijuana.”

Th e director of an organization called the Canadian Drug Policy Coalition apparently with some connection to Simon Fraser University’s Centre for Applied Research in Mental Health and Addictions reportedly called this move to legalization “long overdue”. Th e assumption relied upon for this point of view is that the use of this drug is epidemic and legalization will create an opportunity for healthful regulations not available or eff ective when use of the substance is fully illegal. Th is suggestion attempts to invoke science but is really just a matter of opinion.

Proponents of legalization of the drug cite two positive expectations. Th e fi rst is more and better research about the eff ect of marijuana use on physical and mental health, human cognitive development, motivation, and productivity. We should also come to better understand its medicinal properties, if any.

Th e second expected positive result is the measurable benefi t from the de-stressing on law enforcement, the court system, and the corrections system. (Note: rescinding any criminal law will have this immediate eff ect.)

Th is being said, road safety concerns cry out for immediate focus on the big gaping hole in regulatory control, namely, what level of blood THC concentration—the psychoactive component in marijuana—renders a driver legally impaired. According to the (US) National Institute on Drug Abuse we know:

(1) Marijuana is the illicit drug most frequently found in drivers involved in crashes, including fatal ones.

(2) Th e risk of being involved in a crash roughly doubles after marijuana use.

(3) Crash-involved drivers with THC in their blood, particularly higher levels, are three to seven times more likely to be responsible for the crash than drivers who have not used drugs or alcohol.

(4) Th e risk associated with marijuana combined with alcohol appears to be greater than that for either by itself.

(5) Marijuana signifi cantly impairs judgment, motor coordination, and reaction time, and studies have found a direct relationship between blood THC concentration and impaired driving ability.

Hound Labs, an Oakland, California company working with scientists from UC Berkeley, Vancouver-based Cannabix Technologies Inc., Colorado-based Lifeloc Technologies Inc., and a chemistry professor–PhD student duo at Washington State University are working at developing ‘an instant roadside marijuana breathalyzer’. But what will be the national measure of amount linked to impairment? Despite this ‘unknown’, however, where marijuana has been legalized, certainty about driving impairment eff ect has prompted the states of Washington and Montana to set—at this point—an arbitrary limit of fi ve nanograms of THC per millilitre of blood (ng/ mL) and Pennsylvania a one ng/mL limit.

Write this down: Marijuana use is going to cause motor vehicle accidents the way alcohol used to cause motor vehicle accidents.

Th e Normalization of Marijuana Use isGoing to Cause More Motor Vehicle Accidents

The new Child Adolescent Psychiatric Stabilization Unit planned for Surrey Memorial Hospital will offer 10 short-stay beds for youth aged six to 17 years old who are suffering from severe, acute mental health symptoms. PHOTO SUBMITTED

‘They’re saying that our youth matter’

SHEILA REYNOLDS

As the designated Regional Pediatric Centre in the Fraser Health region, Surrey Memorial Hospital off ers specialized and unique care to babies, chil-dren and youth from Burnaby to Hope. Th e Leader provides an inside look at how B.C.’s second-largest hospital has grown and adapted to treat its youngest and most vulnerable patients.

When her toddler was having trouble con-trolling his emotions, she could easily have attributed it to the notorious “terrible twos” making a timely appearance.

But mom Karen Copeland knew better. With an older child at home, and a keen awareness of her son’s growing body and personality, her gut was telling her there was much more to her second child’s irregular behaviour.

By the time kindergarten hit, the emotional and social gap between her son and other kids was readily apparent. If another child was in his space, he’d often react physically or with far more emotion than warranted.

“He struggled to get the words out,” Copeland recalls.

Go-to phrases such as “no” or “that’s stupid” would fl ow under stressful situations at school, and friendships were diffi cult to main-tain. Counsellors and doctors began doling out diagnoses. One talked about autism, another speculated ADHD (attention defi cit hyperactiv-ity disorder).

By that time, Copeland was begin-ning to learn about youth mental health issues.

In Grade 2, it was fi nally deter-mined her son suff ered from an anxiety disorder. Still, other serious issues persisted, and so did the assessments and testing.

Th ings escalated in middle school and the problems became more signifi cantly pronounced. Th e boy – with adolescence looming – began a specialized program at B.C. Children’s Hospital.

Residents of Abbotsford, Copeland, her hus-band and son had to live in a Vancouver hotel for fi ve-and-a-half weeks while the pre-teen received treatment. Meanwhile, their daughter stayed with relatives in Abbotsford.

“It was hugely disruptive to our family,” Copeland says, adding being away from their

home and daughter, living in an unfamiliar environment and eating out daily only added to the heavy emotional load they were carrying.

“It was very overwhelming.”While Abbotsford has an ado-

lescent day treatment program, there are currently no short-stay psychiatric beds for children or youth anywhere in the Fraser Health region – which stretches from Burnaby to Hope. Th e only other option is a six-bed unit at B.C. Children’s Hospital.

Had there been something closer to home to help her son, says Cope-land, life would have been easier.

“If you’ve got a child that’s really in distress and have to transport them all the way to Vancouver…” she laments.

Enter the Child Adolescent Psy-chiatric Stabilization Unit (CAP-

SU) planned for Surrey Memorial Hospital. Th e facility, destined for the space where the former Emergency Department was located, will have 10 short-stay beds specifi cally for patients between six and 17 displaying severe, acute mental health symptoms.

▶ SURREY MEMORIAL HOSPITALIS SLATED TO HAVE THE ONLY SHORT-STAY BEDS IN THEREGION FOR CHILDREN AND TEENS

CARING FOR

KIDSA LEADER SPECIAL SERIES

SHEILA REYNOLDS

Since last spring, the Surrey Hospital and Outpatient Centre Foundation has been raising funds to elevate the youth psy-chiatric unit beyond the basics.

“Really, it’s about creating a home-like, stable environment,” said Jane Adams, president and CEO of the foundation.

While Fraser Health and government have committed to covering the cost of the $6.7-million facility, the hospi-tal foundation is in the midst of raising $2 million for furniture and other components appro-priate to the type of specialized care provided at the Child Ado-lescent Psychiatric Stabilization Unit (CAPSU).

Th anks to a $1-million gift from Cloverdale Paint, $300,000 from Coast Capital Savings and $150,000 from the hospital auxiliary and numer-ous other donors, the founda-tion is just $200,000 away from reaching its fundraising goal.

“Th e community has been over-whelming-ly support-ive,” said Adams, crediting the level of back-ing to an increased awareness. “I think there’s

been a lot of work, much of it by the media, around mental health literacy.

“It’s really resonating with a lot of people. Th ere are very few families that haven’t been impacted in some way.”

The funds raised by the foundation will be about much more than nice-looking decor and child-friendly artwork, however.

The psychiatric unit will include unique elements and extraordinary features designed to cater to the comfort and needs of young patients with psychiatric disorders, many of whom may arrive over-stimulated or in extremely anxious states.

For example, there will be a Snoezelen room, designed to reduce agitation and in-crease relaxation by controlling stimuli such as lighting and sound.

As well, because the unit will treat such a wide age range (six- to 17-year-olds), there will be public spaces where all ages can come together, as well as separate areas where they can be with people closer to their age.

A kitchen area will also be available and each patient will have his/her own bedroom – one that bears little resemblance to a stan-dard hospital room.

“They’ll make it as home-like as they can,” Adams said.

In addition, the foundation hopes it can help fund a peer counselling-type program so youth who have battled mental illness can speak to young kids and teens who are in the midst of treatment. A similar program for parents to connect is also being considered, said Adams.

Right now, youth who are suicidal or facing other crises are treated at the emergen-cy room, sent to the regular pediatric ward, transferred to the adult psychiatric unit (if they’re older), or put in the 10-bed adolescent psychiatric unit (intended for youth 13 and older requiring longer-term treatment).

And while those options are safe and adequate, says Andy Libbiter, they are not ideal.

As executive director of mental health and substance use services for Fraser Health, Libbiter explains that the CAP-SU will involve a specialist team – consisting of psychiatrists, social workers, occupational therapists, nurses and others.

“Children and teens with mental health issues have needs that are quite signifi -cantly diff erent than adults,” he says, pointing to requirements involving development, family and identity, in addition to the fact they’re still in school. “Th ey (medical staff ) will work intensively with the child and the family.”

CAPSU will provide a bed for fi ve to seven days, when a patient can be thoroughly assessed and stabilized

“We’re not sorting out every single thing,” says Libbiter. “We’re settling things down and then working out what needs to happen for the child and family.

“Th e evidence is very clear now that with mental illness, the earlier you intervene eff ec-tively, the better the outcome.”

He emphasizes the new unit will be part of a continuum of services and a “piece of the puz-zle” in bettering mental health care for young people.

“It’s an important part, but it’s not the be all and end all, by any means.”

It’s hoped the CAPSU will not only provide earlier inter-vention, but reduce the time teens and children in crisis spend in the ER and get them to a specialist more quickly.

Copeland, whose son is now 13, has since become an advo-cate for youth mental health and wellness, establishing a website (championsforcommunitywellness.com/) to inspire people to “think big-ger, think outside the box.” A blog she wrote last year called “I Am ‘Th at’ Parent” garnered widespread attention.

“One of the best things

that ever happened for me was connecting with other parents and hearing their experiences,” she says.

Having endured tough times accessing care for her child, she feels strongly about the need for a facility such as CAPSU in the Fraser Health region and is thrilled to see it taking shape.

“Th ey’re saying that our youth matter,” she says.

The new unit is scheduled to open by spring 2017. It’s it will serve about 1,000 children and adolescents per year.

Free use permits to cut a Christmas tree on Crown land are available from forest district and Front-CounterBC offi ces in most areas of the province.

Local district offi ces can identify areas of Crown where one tree may be legally cut for personal use. Permits are not available for the Chilliwack and South Island forest districts due to popu-lation density and tree demand.

Th e ministry’s Christmas tree website at www.for.gov.bc.ca/mof/xmastrees.htm has links to offi ces that off er tree permits for designated areas, with online permits avail-able in some regions.

Th e website has links and phone numbers for FrontCounterBC and forest district offi ces.

Th ere is also a link to the B.C. Christmas Tree Council, which has a list of private tree farms around B.C.

Once you have a Crown land permit,

the ministry suggests leaving home prepared with ropes, gloves and tools. Choose a tree that can be cut near the base and is easily transported out, to minimize waste and debris that can be a fi re hazard next summer.

Autism project for parents gets funding

Th e B.C. govern-ment has budgeted $3 million for a research project to explore the benefi ts of “parent coaching interven-tion” for infants and toddlers who show early signs of Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Th e project will fol-low about 70 children and their families, selected by a commit-tee from ACT-Autism Community Training, the Pacifi c Autism Family Centre (PAFC) and the Michal Smith Foundation for Health Research. Th e screen-ing process for subjects is expected to begin in early 2017.

Wood product sales up, logs down

B.C. forest products exports grew in the fi rst 10 months of the year, compared to sales year-to-date up to October 2014.

Statistics Canada reports that solid wood product sales were up three per cent and pulp and paper prod-ucts were up 2.3 per cent. Th e only major commodity with lower sales was logs, down by 18.8 per cent from last year.

B.C. saw strong growth in agriculture and food sales, up 21.2 per cent, and fi sh products, up 15.8 per cent year-to-date to October. Fruits, nuts and whole salmon sales had the strongest gains, while meat and prepared meat were down 9.2 per cent.

Low energy and commodity prices con-tinued, with value of natural gas sales down 40.2 per cent and coal down 17.4 per cent.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

“[Homeowners] should spend the time to prepare the property to make it look as good as it can, and spend some time [educating] themselves on prevailing market conditions.” says Bruce Robinson, Partner at Hugh & McKinnon Realty. “Th e biggest mistake I see is that the property is not ready; the landscaping is overgrown [and] not well kept, you get past that to see the paint peeling off the front door, you get inside to see a lot of old furniture and ‘stuff ,’ and then you get the bad odour which re-ally can be a turnoff for the buyer.”

A new homebuyer won’t want to feel that they are purchasing a fi xer-upper, so disrepair and disorder are to be avoided at all costs. Th is doesn’t mean that every

room needs to look like a magazine spread, but there should be a sense of consistency. Consider hiring a professional to stage the home.

Setting up a house for sale is hard work, and then there is fi nding that perfect price point to accompany it. Take a look at other properties that are for sale in your area, and keep your pricing demands realistic by consulting with multiple agents on what they would recommend.

“Th e primary reason a home does not

sell is price,” says Robinson. “Any property will sell if the price is commensurate with the size, location and unique characteristics of a home. Most people will say ‘location, location, location,’ however if you are above what the market is willing to pay even the best location won’t sell.”

Robinson adds that you’ll know your house is at the right price if you get activity; people coming to look and people making off ers.

You will never trick someone into buying

your home. You may be able to lure them in or intrigue them with fancy photos, but if those photos don’t match what they see when they show up, they may feel mis-led and distrust the sale before walking through the door.

Th e only things worse than photos of poor quality - blurry, dark, or taken at odd angles - are those that are heavily edited. Look at your home from a buyer’s perspec-tive and check the listing online to make sure that the photos represent the space ac-curately. You wouldn’t see a company using a blurry photo to advertise a product, so avoid posting blurry or indecipherable pho-tos online when trying to sell your home.

“Good photography is vital today in the marketing of Real Estate,” says Robinson. “Just about everyone looking to buy or who is in the business uses the internet to shop, [so] good pictures can make the diff erence on how many people will actually come out and look at it in person.”

Th e posted photographs should be up-to-date and show a potential buyer how a house would look if viewed today. When selling your home, pictures need to say more than a thousand words - they need to refl ect your price. Make sure what you’re saying is worth it.

From pictures to price, avoid these mistakes when selling your home

By Nicolle Hodges

When you walk into an apartment building, home or

business, you will instinctively pick up on the level of cleanli-ness, which includes smells, dust, and debris. Setting your house up for sale adheres to the same senses and essen-tially entails bringing strang-ers into your space and entic-ing them to picture their life there. The small details can make a big difference when selling your home, and there are a few simple tips to avoid making a mistake that could ruin your chances of a sale.

“Good photography is vital today in the marketing of Real Estate…good pictures can make the difference on how many people will actually come out and look at it in person.”

Doreen Johnson never stepped into a library until she was 13.

Th e youngster, born in rural Saskatchewan, was enamoured with books – not just reading, but the idea that you could have a book on the shelf with your name on it.

Until she stepped into that library in Vancouver, af-ter she moved to B.C. at the age off 11, she had never even heard the word “author.”

Now 76, the Fleetwood resident is one herself – after being told by her high school teacher that she would nev-er write a book.

Johnson has pub-lished a historical fi ction based on her mother Elsie Frey’s experiences in rural Saskatchewan in the 1930s and ’40s.

“Momma, Mom-ma, the Preachers’

Comin” isn’t Little House on the Prairie.It tells of the hardship, destitution, hunger and cold

– conditions that Johnson experienced herself in that house, with her brother Edwin (a year older) and father Raphael.

While Elsie had a Grade 4 education, Raphael never learned to read, and the family struggled on their homestead in Carrot River, a village at the end of a railway line about 250 kilometres northeast of Saska-toon.

Th ey harvested what they could, and had four cows, two horses and a handful of pigs and chickens, allow-

ing them to scrape by.Doreen says she and her brother were the poorest

kids at school. Th eir father told them each year that the Easter Bunny wasn’t coming, while they saw their classmates eating chocolates.

Th e kids had three outfi ts, two for regular use, and a Sunday outfi t.

Johnson learned about being poor when on some Sundays, the local Lutheran minister would come to their house, since the nearest church was too far way.

He came with his family, which included two well-dressed young daughters in “city clothes” who snubbed Doreen and her brother.

Th e kids usually stayed outside while the adults spoke, since the family had only four chairs.

Johnson didn’t particularly like the preacher’s family, and her mother was often upset because of the way she was dressed and had to give away food they couldn’t aff ord.

“(Th e preacher) wanted to make sure we were alive, but he sure didn’t bring us anything,” Doreen recalls.

“Th ey had fancy clothes, but you had manners,” Raphael would say to his kids afterwards.

Walking a mile to school (until the later years, when their school was closed and the distance grew to 3.5 miles of walking or hitching rides), they faced deep snow and wind, and winter temperatures of minus 30 or 35. Th e family’s long-distance transportation was either a wagon or sled.

While their father wasn’t big on pushing them to go to school when the weather was bad, their mother said they should go “as long as we could see where we were

going,” recalls Johnson.Her mother, respecting the idea of learning and

reading, was enthusiastic when Johnson returned with homework and reading materials, so she could do some reading herself.

During warm weather, Johnson would sit outside the house for hours watching butterfl ies and making up stories in her head.

Years later, in high school in Vancouver, she would continue to dream of writing, but after Grade 11, she got a job at a bank that paid $125 per month.

Eventually, she put her destitute past behind her, got married in 1958 to her husband Elmer and moved to Newton, where with hammer and nails, they built a house together.

Elmer died in 2000, and Johnson remarried in 2005. Her husband Bob supported her’s eff orts to write an autobiography, and then the idea of writing a novel about her mother’s life.

In “Momma, Momma, the Preachers’ Comin,” names have been changed – including Carrot River – but the history remains.

For the cover, Johnson used the only picture she had of the front of the little house she grew up in. It was taken in 1945 by her brother, then eight years old, with the family’s box camera.

Johnson believes her mother would have liked the cover of the book, with her on it, but she wasn’t happy at the time the photo was taken.

Th e White Rock Play-ers Club’s well-loved tradition – a distinctly irreverent and colour-ful Christmas panto-mime – continues this

month with longtime favourite Cinderella, which runs until Jan. 2 at Coast Capital Playhouse (1532 John-ston Rd., White Rock).

Based on a classic 1960 White Rock

Players script by the late Charlotte John-son, the new version has been adapted and brought up to date by Sara and Lisa Pavili-onis (and directed by Lisa).

While some modern-ization was necessary, all the traditional, fun-for-the-whole-family elements remain in this retelling of the favourite fairy tale, including a good fairy, a demon, a heavily made-up male ‘Dame’ – or in this case two – and, the good-natured but put-upon Cinder-ella.

Sam Brealey brings the requisite pathos and charm to the title character, with Juliana Peralta as a dashing Prince Charming.

Katherine Lozada, as the Fairy Godmother, squares off against Shaun McHale as the Demon for control of the plot, and there’s plenty of over-the-top vaudeville comedy supplied by Ray Van Ieperen as evil step-mother Clarice Cuttle-fi sh and Jennifer Lane and Bryce Paul Mills as her daughters Mildred and Winifred.

Adding to the colour-ful look of this year’s pantomime is scenic design and painting by set designer Andrea Olund and well-known local artist Elizabeth Hollick, whose mural ‘Th e Wonderful Year We Fell In Love’, celebrating the history of the White Rock Players Club adorns the side of the Coast Capital Playhouse.

Shows are at 7:30 p.m., with matinees Dec. 13, 20, 26, 27 and Jan. 2 at 2:30 p.m.

Also upcoming this season for White Rock Players Club are Marc Camoletti’s celebrated 1960s door-slammer farce Boeing, Boeing, set to hit the stage March 2-19, and Noel Coward’s brilliant 1930s comedy of manners Private Lives (April 13-30).

Th e announced season closer will off er not one, but two versions of a classic comedy – a staging, on alternate nights, of both the male and female versions of Neil Simon’s Th e Odd Couple.

For panto tickets ($22, $15 children 12 and under and Coast Capital Savings mem-bers) call 604-536-7535, or visit www.whiterockplayers.ca

A Simon Fraser University scholar-ship program that gives qualifi ed high school graduates south of the Fraser the opportunity to take post-second-ary studies close to home – at SFU’s Surrey campus – has helped nearly 150 students and raised almost $250,000 in funding.

Th e Close to Home Entrance Award, established in 2007, is at the heart of SFU’s annual President’s Gala.

The goal of these scholarships is to attract top students while raising awareness of the breadth of pro-grams and degrees that SFU offers in Surrey.

Th ey’ve helped students like Aman-da Rachmat, a second-year student of world literature and international studies.

“Th e Close to Home scholarship meant I could save hours commuting from Surrey to school every day and use my time where I need it most, transitioning to my university stud-ies,” said Rachmat, who is spending a second semester in a co-op term with the Downtown Surrey Business Improvement Association.

“It means I can spend time with my family and friends and stay connected to my community.”

Naina Grewal, a 2013 recipient, volunteers as a radio show host at Red 93.1 FM and is also a member of SFU’s student ambassador program. She says SFU is playing a huge role in helping to defi ne her “as a person, a

student and someone who is involved in making the community a better and more engaged place.”

Meanwhile alumnus Derek Toth, one of the fi rst Close to Home schol-arship recipients, did co-op stints with Cooledge Lighting Inc. and Sierra Wireless before completing his bachelor of applied sciences degree, specializing in mechatronics.

Earlier this year, he landed a job as a junior mechanical designer at Surrey’s Bycar Engineering Ltd.

Student Trisha Dulku, who is working with the Surrey Youth En-gagement Conference and the SFU Surrey TD Community Engage-ment Centre (CEC), says studying in Surrey is desirable because as the local community continues to evolve, so do promising future opportunities.

“Many of the students who apply are already involved and rooted in their community,” says Dulka, who also works with the CEC’s Racing Readers literacy program at a local elementary school.

“Th rough the Close to Home scholarships we have the chance to learn new skills that will help ensure that we as young people can become change-makers, wherever the future takes us.”

“Th e Close to Home Scholarships are designed to do just that, help stu-dents to grow their post-secondary experiences right here in their com-munity,” adds Steve Dooley, executive director of the SFU Surrey campus.

“And whether they take their newly acquired knowledge back to the com-munity or go further afi eld to reap success, everyone wins.”

K.B. Woodward Elementary School has been named the 2015 champion in the City of Surrey’s annual Walk & Roll to School Week.

Th is year, more than 12,000 students at over 30 elementary schools throughout Surrey participated in the event that encourages students and families to walk, cycle or scooter to school for a full week.

K. B. Woodward families accumulated a combined 14,000 kilometres of foot-powered propulsion to school in early October to top all others in the contest.

Mayor Linda Hepner attended a school assembly to recognize the school community and present the Golden Shoe trophy to principal Angelo Morelli. Th e school also received a prize pack of helmets, bike locks and bells, as well as $500.

Once again this year, BCIT Instructor Don Zaklan and his BCIT Electrical Foundation students from the Princess Margret Secondary ACE-IT program have volunteered more than 1,000 hours of their time for testing, set-up preparations and wiring of the St. Paul’s Hospital Lights of Hope display.

Along with gaining valuable hands-on experience, the electrical students got the opportunity to tour the hospi-tal’s electrical system to help further their trade knowl-edge.

Th e massive holiday light spectacle has been running for 17 years and continues to be successful because of strong community support through equipment and supply dona-tions and volunteer hours.

Last year, the display raised more than $2.6 million for the St. Paul’s Hospital Foundation.

Applicant: B.C. Ministry of Environment, Ecosystems Protection and Sustainability Branch PO Box 9338, Stn Prov Govt, Victoria, B.C. V8W 9M1 Telephone: 250 356-7683 Attention: Leif-Matthias Herborg, Aquatic Invasive Species Coordinator

Agent: SMC Consulting, 1582 Lawrence Avenue, Penticton, B.C. V2A 3C1 Telephone/fax: 250 492-6193 Email: [email protected]

The purpose of the pesticide use is to eradicate invasive intertidal cordgrasses (Spartina spp.) which are designated as provincial noxious weeds under B.C.’s Weed Control Act. Treatment areas will be restricted to infestations of Spartina on cobble beaches, salt marshes and intertidal mudflats (at low tide) located in Boundary Bay, Robert’s Bank and Burrard Inlet, but treatment may expand over the course of the permit period to include sites at Sturgeon Banks and on the central east coast of Vancouver Island, including Comox, Courtenay, Deep Bay and Sea Island.

The total area proposed for this herbicide treatment is a maximum of 22 hectares annually, spread across more than 17,000 coastal hectares. Pesticide applications will consist only of the herbicide called Habitat (active ingredient: imazapyr), which will be applied to selected sites within the areas identified above using handheld spray bottles, backpack sprayers or mounted sprayers. Pesticide applications will complement existing and ongoing mechanical removal methods.

Proposed duration of this pesticide use is from June 1, 2016 to May 31, 2019.

A draft copy of the pesticide use permit application and maps of the proposed treatment areas may be examined online at: https://www.for.gov.bc.ca/hra/Plants/pmp.htm, by contacting the Applicant (Leif-Matthias Herborg) or by contacting the Agent listed above.

Santa’s postal code is no joke

Wish lists, pictures and drawings, funny jokes and favourite games – these are a few of the things kids put in their letters to Santa.

Every year, Jolly Old Saint Nick receives more than a million letters from children in Canada and around the world.

Th e amazing thing is, according to Canada Post, every letter is read – and every letter is answered.

More than 6,000 Canada Post volunteers – staff and retirees – help Santa out. Letters are answered in the language the letter was written, including Braille.

Address letters to: Santa Claus, North Pole, Canada, H0H 0H0. No postage required. Th ey should be mailed no later than Dec. 16 to receive a reply.

Be sure to include your return address for his response.

Local Surrey singer-songwriter Reid Jamieson will be on site playing Christmas songs and Santa will also be in attendance for photos.

Guests will snack on apple cider and ginger spice cook-ies and can make and decorated vintage ornaments and tinsel wreaths to bring the vintage 50’s Christmas feeling home.

With a twist of modern flair, children will be invited to take part in an Elf on the Shelf-inspired scavenger hunt, seeking out Christmas elves throughout the galleries themselves.
