Terrorist propaganda blamed amid reports of White Rock pilot’s kidnapping by ISIS

‘Ignore the reports I’ve been captured’

New developments retaining far less tree cover, city told

Surrey’s losing its tree canopy: report

Surgery delays

Fraser tries to sidestep fines over wait times Jeff NagelBlack Press

Fraser Health is under fire for ordering its surgeons to reassess patients in an attempt to avoid steep fines for failing to complete surgeries within one year.

Leaked documents released by the Canadian Taxpayers Federa-tion (CTF) show Fraser is already facing fines of more than $2.5 mil-lion for 650 scheduled surgeries that were waiting more than a year as of Oct. 9, while another 4,124

surgeries have waited six to 12 months.

A Nov. 4 memo to sur-geons directs them to reas-sess patients who have waited more than 40 weeks.

“It is impera-tive for the interest of all,

including our patients, that we use every available strategy to avoid penalties,” Dr. Peter Blair, Fraser’s medical director for surgery, states in the memo, which is also signed by the executive director for surgery.

A former White Rock resident described as the first foreign woman to join in the fight against ISIS was report-edly captured over the weekend.

But proof that Gillian Rosenberg, 31, is in the custody of the Middle East extremists is yet to emerge.

And a Facebook post early Monday

afternoon, purportedly by Rosenberg, unequivocally refutes the claims.

“Guys, I’m totally safe and secure. I don’t have Internet access or any com-munication devices with me for my safety and security,” notes the status update. “I can’t reply regularly and only happened to have a chance to log in and see these (inaccurate) news stories. Ignore the reports I’ve been captured.

Yalla, Acharai!”Various media had been reporting that

Rosenberg was captured by members of ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) in Syria. However, links and comments on Rosenberg’s Facebook page were also quick to dispute the claims.

“As I said before Gill Rosenberg is safe and all the allegations about her kidnap are unfounded,” writes Oliver Brimo

early Dec. 1. “A short time ago the head of #YPG forces in #Kobani refuted cat-egorically these allegations.”

Late Monday morning, Chris Levy writes, “She is safe!!!!! Friends and fam-ily of Gill Rosenberg you can breath a sigh of relief that she is alive and well.”

ISIS has been designated a terrorist organization by the United Nations.

Surrey has lost almost one-fifth of its tree canopy in just over a decade, according to a recent study commissioned by the city.

The report shows stark differences between the amount of tree cover in existing develop-ments to that provided in new construction.

The city hired North Surrey’s Urban Systems this year to provide an analysis of the city’s existing tree canopy.

A tree canopy (the above-ground portion of a

tree) is a measure of plant cover and is a major indicator of environmental health. A canopy of 40 per cent is considered one aspect of being an environmentally friendly city.

Surrey is short of that and heading in the wrong direction. In 2001, 33 per cent of Surrey was covered by tree canopy, the report shows. By 2009, that dropped to 30 per cent, and four years later the figure had sunk to 27.17 per cent.

The numbers represent a decline in tree canopy of 17.66 per cent over those 13 years.

Surrey is aiming to be at 40 per cent by 2058,

but it will require some significant changes to turn things around.

New developments are a large contributor to canopy loss, according to figures in the report.

The average existing single-family residential development (city-wide) in 2009 had 23.5-per-cent tree canopy. Now, the average new home construction has a 2.6-per-cent tree canopy.

The figure is even more stark in South Surrey, where it dropped from 47.8 per cent in 2009 to 7.7 per cent in new-construction areas.

news

In a news release last month, the UN security council condemned the group, and emphasized it “must be defeated and that the intolerance, violence and hatred it espouses must be stamped out.”

Rosenberg – who ran for Surrey council as a teenager in 2002, describing the city’s social policy as “a terrible failure” – report-edly only recently joined Kurdish forces in the fight against ISIS.

According to reports, she first emigrated to Israel in 2006, then was extradited to the U.S. for her role in a lottery scam.

A July 2009 FBI press release names a Gil-lian Rosenberg as among 11 people arrested in Israel on charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and mail fraud through telemar-keting in connection with a lottery scheme that targeted elderly U.S. residents.

According to Rosenberg’s Facebook posts, she travelled “home” to Tel Aviv, Israel this past summer after five years in New York, and arrived in Erbil, Iraq on Nov. 2.

On Nov. 20, Rosenberg wrote that she would be without access to the Internet until “on or around” the week of Dec. 8. Until then, the account is being managed by someone else.

“Please do not message as this is not me,” she writes.

Rosenberg studied aviation at BCIT after graduating from Vancouver Talmud Torah School.

She was first featured in the Peace Arch News in March 2001, after flying to Rome with then-White Rock mayor Hardy Staub.

Staub, a pilot, recalled Monday that he was approached by Rosenberg’s mother to take the 17-year-old as part of an assignment requiring the teen to spend a few hours observing professionals in careers of interest.

After the five-day trip, Rosenberg told PAN she had dreamed of being a pilot since she was a little girl.

Her mom, Lynda, recalled at the time that

her daughter, on any flights they took, would always ask her to ask the stewardess if she could sit in the cockpit.

“I remember her going up there when she was five years old, watching the pilot and talking to him about his job,” she told PAN.

Just days before the flight with Staub, Rosenberg learned she’d been accepted to Emby-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, Ariz. She was to be one of just a few women to attend, and the first practising Jewish student on campus.

She told PAN she’d been assured her gender would be an advantage, simply because of the demand for women in aviation.

Lynda Rosenberg predicted her daughter would go far – in more ways than one.

“I don’t think it’s just taking off to Arizona for four years,” she said at the time.

“I think Gillian will never come back to live in Canada.”

Gillian Rosenberg said her career choice was not motivated by money.

“I want to do something that I love,” she said.Staub told PAN this week that he heard

on Sunday that Rosenberg had been cap-tured, when he was contacted by an Israeli reporter who asked for help locating Lynda Rosenberg.

Staub said that if the news reports were true, “the outlook doesn’t look healthy.”

Shortly before Rosenberg’s latest update, the Jerusalem Post described reports of her cap-ture as “probably the terrorists’ propaganda.”

Semiahmoo finances

First Nation disputes deadlineTracy HolmesStaff Reporter

The Semiahmoo First Nation is among dozens of First Nations facing sanctions by the federal government, after failing to file information detailing the band’s expenses and how much its offi-cials get paid.

Under the First Nations Financial Transparency Act – which became law in March 2013 – the dead-line for all First Nations to file the information with the Ministry of Aboriginal Affairs and North-ern Development was midnight Wednesday (Nov. 26).

As of this week, the Semiah-moo were listed as among 49 First Nations in Canada –  out of 582 covered by the law – that had not complied. (The names of all non-compliant bands have been posted to the AANDC website, which is is said to be updated as the informa-tion comes in.)

However, band councillor Joanne Charles told Peace Arch News the Semiahmoo is working with the ministry and shouldn’t have been identified as non-compliant.

“We had till yesterday (Nov. 27),” Charles said Friday afternoon. “Our letter said on or before the 27th. We complied with what we needed to.”

As of Monday afternoon, the fed-eral website still listed Semiahmoo documents as “not yet posted.”

According to the ministry, First Nations that don’t comply risk los-ing any non-essential funding the bands receive from the federal gov-ernment, as well as any new, non-essential funding they may request.

Exactly how much funding is at stake for the Semiahmoo – with a registered population of 89 – is unclear.

According to the most recent financial document posted online, the band received a total of $225,792 in federal funding for the year ending March 31, 2006.

Semiahmoo is listed as one of 12 B.C. bands not to file by last week’s deadline.

Parents hoping to get their children into Surrey’s most-popular “choice” school pro-grams will no longer have to strengthen their dialing finger or recruit their friends prior to registration day.

Registration for French immersion, Mon-tessori, fine arts and traditional programs has traditionally taken place during a one-day phone-in session, with parents frantically redialing – some even having “telephone par-ties” – trying to get through on the jammed lines in hopes of securing a sought-after spot.

But beginning next year, a new online process for choice kindergarten applications is being implemented, with a much longer,

three-week window to register. There will be no queue, and seats will be allocated in a random draw, with parents automatically notified by email whether they’ve secured a space or have been put on a waiting list.

Successful applicants will have two days to accept the seat. If declined, the space will be offered to the next student on the waiting list.

As opposed to the old system, in which children were placed on individual school wait lists, those who don’t immediately get a spot will now be placed on a district-wide list.

“I think it’s great they listened – finally – to some of the issues,” said South Surrey mom Erin McCall, who struggled to get her daughter into French immersion this year after being on a months-long waiting list.

But, she says, the new system doesn’t address the biggest problem – the number of student spots available in French immer-sion falls far short of the demand.

Currently, six of Surrey’s 101 elementary schools offer early French immersion – by far the most popular choice program.

“There’s still going to be people turned away from all of them,” said McCall. “It’s sad to me that there’s a bunch of parents and kids who want to try harder at being bilingual and it’s so difficult. I don’t understand why they can’t sort this out.”

School trustee Shawn Wilson acknowl-edges things still aren’t perfect, but he is optimistic the new system will alleviate at least some of the frustration.

Wilson said meeting the demand contin-ues to be a huge struggle due to a lack of available school space. Simply adding por-table classrooms is not an option, he added, because choice programs must be cost-neu-tral and portables are a significant expense.

The new online registration also pertains to the two fine arts, three Montessori and three traditional school programs in Surrey.

It’s essential that parents still register their child at their local catchment school before applying to a choice program. Regular kin-dergarten registration begins Jan. 19 and the online applications for the four choice programs opens Jan. 26 and closes Feb. 16.

More information about choice registra-tion is available at www.surreyschools.ca

A South Surrey beauty queen has been stripped of her title and is being sued by pag-eant organizers for defamation.

Ashley Brooks won the title of Ms. Vancouver on Nov. 24, 2013 in Vancouver Television’s Mr. and Ms. Vancouver Pageant, after vying for the title on an anti-bullying platform.

In a statement of claim filed Nov. 26 in B.C. Supreme Court – nearly a year to the day since she was crowned – Vancouver Television officials allege the 19-year-old and her mother “are maliciously attempting to destroy our business and relationships with our current and past beauty pageant con-testants, as well as customers.”

“The defendants have also posted false statements defaming our busi-ness online,” the statement of claim notes.

According to the court documents, Brooks and her mother, Lin, sent messages to pageant contestants trying to “get them to drop or destroy our pageant.”

However, Lin told Peace Arch News that it’s

Vancouver Television that is in the wrong. According to the White Rock woman, her daughter never received any of the prizes she was promised –  including professional photo shoots and a hosting position with Vancouver Television, among other things.

“She was supposed to have a photo shoot every three months and there was (only one) photo shoot that she had,” Lin said last week.

Lin said Brooks was most let down by the promise of a hosting position with VTV, which she assumed would be a paid position – $40,000-$50,000 a year – but later found out it was not.

As a result, Lin sent VTV executives a request to be compensated $80,000 for the unclaimed prizes.

In an interview Thursday, Vancouver Television executive producer Harmon Bal told PAN Brooks’ claims of not receiving prizes were false.

“Ashley and her mother… they would refuse all the prizes of any kind,” he said. “We were quite confused, we didn’t know what was happening at that point.”

Bal noted that a request for a photo shoot went unanswered for two days, before Brooks’ mother

texted to say not to book it. He said the mother also refused to have her daughter’s hair styled in a Vancouver salon due to the mother being a “brand manager” of a different hair product.

Bal said other prizes went unclaimed – includ-ing a trip to Jamaica, due to Brooks not having a passport – and that complaints were received from sponsors over tardiness, unfulfilled duties and demands for free items.

He said Vancouver Television was forced to drop the teen as Ms. Vancouver, although she was given the opportunity to finish her reign, take the prizes and move on.

“We were happy to leave it as is,” Bal said. “But then we got a call from Global (News) and a few other places, and we felt we needed to stand up for ourselves… Up until then, we didn’t say anything about her being dropped. We didn’t say anything to embarrass her.”

Lin, however, said her daughter was not given the opportunity or guidance to fulfil her duties.

As of PAN deadline Monday, a statement of defence had yet to be filed. Lin told PAN nei-ther she nor Brooks can afford to retain a lawyer.

This year’s pageant took place Nov. 23. Walt Yao and Sabrina Dhowre were named as Mr. and Ms. Vancouver, respectively.

Similar drops occurred across the board when comparing exist-ing developments to new ones.

“With current practices, the tree canopy will continue to decline and it could fall to some-where between 21 per cent and 27 per cent over the next 50 years, depending on the develop-ment practices,” the report states. 

The report indicates Surrey needs to set tree-canopy targets in each type of land use and fix decade-long tar-gets with an aim to reach 40 per cent by 2058. It also recommends updat-ing existing bylaws to place more emphasis on tree canopy.

Owners should be given incentives to plant trees on private properties, and the city also needs to increase tree planting on city land and road allow-

ances, the report states.The report was presented to the

Environmental Advisory Com-mittee (EAC) on Wednesday.

Panorama Ridge resident Bob Campbell, the EAC vice-chair, called the findings of the study “deeply concerning.” He said the committee needs to consult with other residents before presenting its opinion to Surrey council.

Mayor Dianne Watts said Thurs-day that she was unfamiliar with

the findings, but said it’s crucial that Surrey establish a baseline from which to build a greener city.

“We need that baseline so that we can reverse that (canopy loss),” Watts said, “which is actu-ally a good thing, because we’re paying attention to it.”

She also said the challenge is to balance affordable housing with the environment – “but we need to be paying attention to the green infrastructure.”

Challenge to find balance: Watts from page 1

The memo says long waits have eased somewhat, with 4.5 per cent of surgeries now exceeding 52 weeks, compared to 10 per cent a year ago. But there are still excessive waits triggering finan-cial penalties, which are levied by the health ministry under its pay-for-performance system.

In an interview, Blair rejected suggestions from CTF B.C. direc-tor Jordan Bateman that reassess-ing patients is strictly a tactic to skirt fines by resetting or pausing the waits in long-delayed cases.

“What we’re trying to do is remind the surgeon that that patient has been there for 40 weeks and they better be getting

them done,” Blair said.Bateman accused Fraser of

“playing games” with patients, saying reassessments are wasteful.

Health Ministry Terry Lake defended the reassessments.

“People’s conditions change,” he said. “People may have undergone physiotherapy and reduced the need for surgery in some cases.”

Police in Surrey and White Rock swooped in on lead-footed motorists and those taking chances behind the wheel Thursday, in an effort to curb high-risk driving behaviour on local streets.

The one-day education and enforcement effort, dubbed Project Swoop, was aimed at driving home the fact that such behaviours increase a driver’s risk of getting into a crash.

A total of 12 speed-watch deployments were held throughout White Rock and Surrey – six in the morning and six in the afternoon.

Stationed in the 14500-block of North Bluff Road, White Rock

RCMP Const. Deryk Roberts said a majority of the eastbound drivers he clocked were abiding by the 50-km/h speed limit – but definitely not all.

The worst offender along the stretch was travelling at 74 km/h.

At the same time, “we’ve seen much, much faster,” Roberts said, citing speeds of up to 140 km/h.

A few blocks west of Roberts, community policing volunteers Bill Nikiforuk and Mike Boyle were manning a digital speed-reader board, which flashed the speed for oncoming drivers.

The pair said volunteers weren’t there to enforce the rules – “it just reminds people,” Boyle said.

The woman driving

74 km/h slowed down when she saw the board, he noted.

Deployments in South Surrey included further west on 16 Avenue, and on Crescent Road where it intersects with the train tracks.

The next day Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet estimated the total violation tickets handed out in Surrey would number near 100. The majority, he added, were for speeding.

Initiatives like Project Swoop are worth their while, Paquet said.

The effort also included auxiliary constables, the Fraser Valley Integrated Road Safety Unit, CN Rail Police, ICBC’s road-safety team and city staff.

There’s nothing democratic about making the public the fall-guy for not funding significant improvements to regional transit.

But that appears to be what the BC government is trying to do with its insistence the mayors’ council on regional transportation meet a Dec. 11 deadline to come up with a transportation-referendum question.

It’s a riddle worthy of the Brothers Grimm. For the referendum to succeed, the mayors have to come up with a pretty magical question indeed.

It must not only garner public support for the council’s 10-year transit expansion strategy (including two light-rail lines for Surrey, more bridges and many more buses), but also propose a funding approach (read: tax or levy) that will somehow be instantly palatable to the electorate.

There’s such a thing as canvassing the public. There’s also such a thing as being set up to fail, and the mayors argue this is just what is happening to them.

If the referendum fails, they fear, transit planning in the region could be set back by a decade, at least.

And the B.C. government, presumably, will stand pat on the excuse that the people were asked, and this was the will of the people.

It doesn’t take a very astute mind to know what the public’s knee-jerk reaction will be to being asked to open its pocketbooks even wider.

But the same public – engaged in a longer, deeper discussion than a ballot box yes or no – would be the first to agree that transit in the region is a mess, and is not serving the public well.

The provincial government has its own ideas, of course, about what it is prepared to do. As Metro Vancouver directors have pointed out, the provincial plan heavily favours highway construction – no doubt with appropriate feel-good photo-ops – over dealing with thorny transit issues.

The way forward out of the current transit quagmire is not an easy one. It comes with costs that will not be easily or painlessly borne. There are tough decisions to be made here. And that is why the public elects governments – to make those tough decisions.

Merely throwing the question back at the public is not responsible leadership. And being willing to blame the public for the response is not responsible leadership either. It smacks of political game-playing by a government that would rather scapegoat regional mayors and their constituents than do the right thing.

Referendum a Grimm tale

Published at South Surrey by Black Press Ltd.

opinionPeace Arch News

VICTORIA – It has been 15 years since I wrote a commentary objecting to the B.C. government

pushing aside its own hard-won treaty process to reach an unprecedented land-and-cash settlement with the Nisga’a Nation for their ancient Nass River territory.

My objection, and that of many others, was the imposition of a parallel state with collectively owned land enshrined for all time. This was an ailing NDP government rushing to enable a property ownership system that has demonstrated little but failure and suffering around the world.

The Nisga’a are proving me wrong, and this was again demonstrated at a little-noticed ceremony at the B.C. legislature last week.

The B.C. government had just passed amendments to allow a gas pipeline through Nisga’a Memorial Lava Bed Park, the first co-managed provincial park in B.C. history. Another bill enabled the Nisga’a Lisims government to impose industrial property tax on liquefied natural gas production. Legal documents were signed so the Nisga’a legislature can do the same this week.

In recent years, the Nisga’a disposed of

concern about collective land restrictions by adopting a private property system. And Supreme Court of Canada decisions have repeatedly answered protests about

the establishment of a parallel state – that’s what it is, so get used to it.

The Nisga’a have moved to assemble four fee-simple tidewater sites for LNG terminals, joining the Haisla Nation at Kitimat in reaching aggressively for a modern economy through gas export. The Nisga’a have partnered with TransCanada Corp. on a 900-km pipeline to supply the $11-billion LNG project led by Petronas for the Prince Rupert port. And they don’t intend to stop there.

“We want to be part of the Canadian business establishment,” said former Nisga’a Nation president Joe Gosnell.

The signing ceremony was briefly disrupted by one of a small group of Vancouver-based Nisga’a who have been using modern protest tactics against this decision. We weren’t consulted, it’s a desecration of victims of a volcanic eruption, it’s a threat to eelgrass beds, and so forth, say well-rehearsed young men with video cameras running.

Nisga’a President Mitchell Stevens has

patiently and repeatedly explained that Nisga’a legislature rules were relaxed to allow every hereditary chief to speak to elected leaders on this pivotal move. After that, it received the required two-thirds majority support.

Gosnell, the revered chief negotiator who carried the treaty over the goal line in 2000, moved slowly with the help of an ornately carved cane to speak at a reception. He seemed genuinely surprised that he has lived long enough to see the fruits of generations of labour.

Gosnell recounted the 1887 paddling trip down the B.C. coast from the Nass Valley to Victoria to present the Nisga’a territorial claim, where the tribal leaders were turned away on the steps of the legislature by Premier William Smithe. It would take until 1910 for Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier to promise a settlement, and until 1949 for Nisga’a Chief Frank Calder to be elected to the B.C. legislature.

In 2000, when the treaty received royal assent in Ottawa, Gosnell took part in a ceremonial burning of the Indian Act and got to work on implementing self-government.

And on Nov. 27, 2014, BC Liberal, NDP and independent MLAs voted unanimously to open the way to an industrial future for the Nisga’a.

“That’s what being alive means to me today,” Gosnell said. “You’ve got to have big dreams. Maybe all those dreams won’t come true, but at least you have the ability to dream big. And boy, are we ever dreaming big.”

No surprise, action neededEditor:Re: Respect our tree bylaws, Nov. 27 letters.

Thank you, letter-writer Heidi Bumann, for taking the time to write with your concerns about the loss of trees in your community, and in particular the cutting down of trees by new owners.

Assuming that ignorance of Surrey’s tree bylaws is the problem, perhaps the city could institute an educational program for all real-estate agents operating in Surrey, spelling out the bylaw requirements, the importance of adherence to the regulations and the penalties for non-compliance.

At the same time, the city could initiate a communication program whereby all new owners receive a registered letter containing that same information.

A recent report from city staff noted that Surrey’s tree canopy – in all land outside the Agricultural Land Reserve – has shrunk from 33 per cent in 2001 to 30 per cent in 2009, then to 27.17 per cent in 2013.

Not only is our tree canopy shrinking, it is doing so at an accelerating rate. This will come as no surprise to anyone who travels around the city on a regular basis, but reinforces the need for immediate action by the city.

The Sustainability Charter included a target of 40 per cent tree canopy by 2058. Tick, tick, tick.

Considering how slowly most newly planted trees grow, conservation of existing trees is preferable to tree replacement.

We need to come up with incentives that will encourage tree preservation, possibly through a property tax credit similar to the Homeowner’s Grant; the carrot often works better than the stick.Bill Stewart, Surrey

CommunityresponseEditor:

Great big thank you to everyone that helped me and my 80-year-old mom when she took a bad tumble in the parking lot of Save-On Foods at South Point the morning of Nov. 26.

Flat on her face, lying on the asphalt, walker laying in a heap six feet away kind of tumble.

Thank you to the strangers who stopped their cars and called 911, the Save-On employee busy collecting shopping carts who ran into the store to get the first-aid attendant; Audra, the store’s first-aid attendant, who covered my mom with a blanket from the store and held her hand until the paramedics came; Paul, the assistant manager who came out to direct traffic and waited with us for the ambulance.

There were so many people that came to help us, and not one of them had to, they just did…Beverly Malcom, Surrey

Alcohol rulestake their tollEditor:

Grocery stores can legally start selling alcohol from April 1 – under the reason of offering more convenience for consumers and levelling the playing field for businesses, private and public.

Sometimes it is rather difficult to determine whether the government law is helpful or harmful to the public.

If the government really want

to take care about public interest, then they should set up informative booths in each grocery store about the advantages and disadvantages of alcohol.

Easily accessible means increasing tendency to be tempted to get more alcohol.

We are fully aware that excess alcohol consumption always put health, wealth and economic issues into danger zone.

It can have an adverse impact on a low-income family’s happiness.

Imagine how detrimental to our young generation, if they become addicted to alcohol.

Traffic rules prohibit driving

under the influence of alcohol, but our laws make alcohol convenient to buy because it earns the government extra revenue.

When someone violates the law drinking while driving, then they get penalty. Does it not look like both ways that public money is going to government coffers?

If we need to prevent our young folk from indulging in alcohol, we definitely need harsh measures to curb alcohol consumption.

Do not attempt to encourage matters that lead us toward a path of death, destruction and devastation.Hanif A. Patel, Surrey

questions?

It could be argued that all cultures

have a problem with domestic violence.

Alex Sangha

Submissions will be edited for clarity, brevity, legality

and taste.

File photoLetter-writer Alex Sangha suggests “five simple ideas” to prevent potential violence, long before police are involved.

Editor:There have been a number of high-profile murders in

the South Asian community in Surrey over the years. Even one is too many, as far as I am concerned. As a Punjabi male born into a Sikh family, I am really

disgusted by these acts of violence which go against everything I was taught as a Sikh. It is our duty to protect the marginalized, oppressed, vulnerable and weak, and advocate for equality, dignity and respect for all.

The community should rise to protect all vulnerable and relatively powerless people, including Punjabi women. This violence, otherwise, tears apart the life of a friend, neighbour, sister, daughter, wife and, of course, mothers.

What is even more depressing is sometimes the immediate and extended family members support this violence to protect their relatively privileged sons. No use denying the fact that sons are favoured in our culture, to the point where even the state of Punjab in India has one of the highest rates of female infanticide in the country.

In a home where there is domestic violence, the home environment becomes toxic for the victim, especially if there are children involved. The psychological and emotional damage can lead to lifelong trauma and developmental difficulties for children in later life.

What message does violence against women send to our next generation of daughters and their role and place in society? Our culture is setting them up for a potentially unsafe, toxic and dangerous life. The violence repeats itself from generation to generation. Men and boys learn what they are taught from their fathers and families.

I would like to clarify that I do not wish to imply that all South Asian, Punjabi or Sikh households have a problem with domestic violence. It could be argued that all cultures have a problem with domestic violence.

What I am saying is that even one household or one victim is too many, and that I would like to see a response from our South Asian community to resolve the issue before it becomes a social norm.

There are many factors that contribute to violence against women, such as patriarchy and social norms and attitudes. I feel it’s time to challenge these factors and for the South Asian community to take steps to protect future generations of women, children and families.

What can be done? As a social worker who has lived in Surrey for more than 20 years, I would like to put forward the following five ideas for discussion:• After marriage, the couple can go live with the bride’s

family.• If the above is not an option, the bride and groom can

live together in their own independent home. This will make it easier for a victim to obtain a restraining order, because she won’t be pressured by her in-laws to suffer in silence for the sake of the family.

• Family assets and inheritance can be equally distributed between male and female children, instead of favouring the surviving sons.

• The practice of dowry needs to be abolished. • The bride’s father should not be expected to

disproportionately pay for the wedding. There you go! Five simple ideas that can bring about

progressive social change in our community. The ideas try to get to the partial root source and provide a preventative approach to domestic violence and women’s inequality.

Hopefully, these ideas will lead to more equality, fairness and protection for vulnerable women and children in the South Asian community. Alex Sangha, Surrey

perspectives…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Sarah MassahStaff Reporter

The saying goes, “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.”

If you change the age and gender, the saying certainly rings true for pint-sized ‘pickers’ Lyric Kennedy, 12, and Alyssa Martin, 11.

The best friends – who both attend Rosemary Heights Elementary – have a passion for vintage that never goes out of style.

And they’ve taken that passion to the next level.

The duo recently attended the Vintage and Revamped Furniture Market at the Young Entrepreneur table on Nov. 29 and 30, where they showcased some of their second-hand treasures for fellow vintage fans to purchase. And they’re already looking to the summer for another show in June.

Each has a history of reclaiming second-hand items often discarded or overlooked by their original owners.

For Lyric, that first began when her mother and father would bring her along to garage sales.

“I’ve been going since I was four,” Lyric said. “I love going to garage sales. Probably my favourite part of it is to go into the ‘free’ box. I’m always looking for scraps for my jewelry and other vintage things.”

The budding entrepreneur – who also takes unique pieces she discovers and creates necklaces to sell – recently found the Holy Grail of free items at a garage sale: a beautiful painting.

An avid fan of the reality television show Storage Wars, she knew there may be more to the painting.

“On Storage Wars, they would look behind the painting and find money, well, I looked behind the painting and didn’t find anything, but we brought it home anyways,” she said.

After noticing the name of painter Rick Bond on the back, Lyric called him to inquire about the work of art.

“He said, ‘that’s my original painting, and it’s worth $1,000,’” Lyric said. “I was really excited and really happy that I found it.”

Lyric and her mom, Tammy, plan to properly frame the painting and are

inquiring about hanging it at the White Rock Gallery.

For Alyssa, a love of vintage was handed down by her mother, Kendra, who owns Shop Blue Lime in South Surrey.

“It’s pretty exciting because most other kids don’t look for vintage stuff. They look for new clothes and stuff,” she said.

After learning more about each other’s love of vintage finds, the two girls

decided to partner up to go to garage sales and find hidden treasures.

“I got to see why my mom loved it so much,” Alyssa said about picking.

Then, after meeting Joanna Salley, the owner of South

Delta shop Cottage Kisses, Lyric realized they could turn their passion into a business by asking Salley what she wanted for the shop and finding the items at garage sales.

“I’ve done a couple of sales and sold a couple of things to her,” Lyric said, adding that she and Alyssa were invited to attend the Deja Vu Vintage Market in Ladner next summer.

Now, the girls have their own brands – Lyric’s Modern Vintage and Lyssa’s Fabulous Finds.

While Tammy notes it’s great that the girls are doing something they love, she says the early experience of running a business is something both her and Alyssa’s mom are ecstatic about.

“We’re both business owners, ourselves,” said Tammy, who is one-half of design team Kennedy Anderson.

“And we’re letting them do this themselves.

“Lyric has to take her own money to buy these things and what profit she makes, she puts back into the account. I’m trying to teach her that aspect of the business.”

The girls are also honing their business acumen with Alyssa’s mom, who is an accountant.

“These are things I never knew when I was 12,” Tammy said. “(Kendra) is teaching them pricing, inventory… They’re into pre-teen dances, Katy Perry, shopping, but they still love going to garage sales.

“They’re old souls in pint-sized bodies.”

Third-period collapse costs Eagles a win in Chilliwack

Late goals burn BirdsNick GreenizanSports Reporter

As far as heartbreaking defeats go, the Surrey Eagles’ 5-3 loss Saturday to the Chilliwack Chiefs may rank among the all-time worst.

The South Surrey BC Hockey League squad, losers of 14 straight heading into Saturday’s game, seemed poised to finally break their losing skid with an upset road win over the Mainland Division’s top squad.

The Eagles, buoyed by the play of Junior ‘B’ call-up goaltender Tyler Read – who stopped 41 shots – led the Chiefs 3-1 after two periods of play, and still led by the same two-goal margin with 4:53 left in the game.

Then, everything fell apart. The Chiefs scored four times in the last

five minutes – including a pair off the stick of Jake Hand, plus an empty-netter from Kurt Black – to steal the win from the visit-ing Birds.

After the game, Read, a 20-year-old White Rock native who was called up in the absence of the team’s injured starting goalie Christian Short, took to Twitter to express his disappointment in the final score, call-ing it “the toughest (loss) I have had in 12 years of hockey.”

The Eagles – who also lost 3-1 to the Langley Rivermen Wednesday and again Friday, 4-1 to the Chiefs – have just three

wins on the year (3-20-0-3). The team’s last victory came Oct. 19 against the Coquitlam Express.

Saturday’s game started out with much promise for the Eagles.

Spencer Unger gave the team an early lead, scoring six minutes into the game, and

after Chilliwack’s Rory Bell tied it four min-utes later, the Eagles replied quickly.

Just 1:02 after Bell’s equalizer, Darius Davidson restored the Eagles lead. In the second period, Davidson scored his second of the game – this time shorthanded – to make it 3-1 heading into the third.

The Eagles will look to get their fourth win of the year tomorrow (Wednesday) when they travel to Coquitlam to face the Express.

Surrey has a light schedule this weekend, with just one – a Friday nighter at South Surrey Arena against the Powell River Kings.

Earl Marriott senior boys edge Kelowna to win second straight banner

Mariners repeat as volleyball champsNick GreenizanSports Reporter

The Earl Marriott Mariners are making up for lost time.

After half a decade of being near the top of the senior boys volleyball rankings – they had three top-five provincial finishes in four years before last season – the Mariners finally broke through with a title win in 2013.

Now, they have a second banner to hang next to the first.

The Mariners successfully defended last year’s AAA title Saturday at the Langley Events Centre, defeating the Kelowna Owls – the same team they beat in the finals a year ago – by a 3-1 score (25-23, 20-25, 25-16, 26-24).

“(Assistant coach Richard Thain) and I both thought we had a team

that could do it again, we just needed to play consistently with confidence,” said EMS coach Bob Smith.

“It was a lot harder to make the finals this go around –  we had to battle every match. But I guess that just makes the championship even sweeter.”

Last year, the Mariners only lost two sets during the entire

provincial tourney, but this time, the team often struggled in the early going of matches; they lost the first set three times before Saturday’s semifinal against Oak Bay.

“We had a few missteps – and in the fourth set against Kelowna, we were down, too – but the guys were never really nervous at all,” Smith said.

“They were prepared, and confident –  they’d been in this position before. But it was a battle – we didn’t real win a match cleanly.”

Smith heaped credit upon his team’s five Grade 12 players for keeping the team calm when facing adversity.

Senior Justin Faester was named the tournament’s most-outstanding

player, while fellow senior Eric Lee was named a first-team all-star and Evan Bell-Foley was named to the second team.

Two more players, Braedon Montgomery and Grade 11 setter Tyson Smith, received honourable mentions.

After shrugging off some early inconsistencies, the Mariners hit their peak in time for semifinals, their coach said.

Against Oak Bay, Earl Marriott got off to a good start, winning the first two games, and eventually won 3-1.

“That’s when we finally got into a bit of a groove,” Smith said. “Justin and Eric, especially, really played well. They made sure we made it to the finals – and once we got there, it was a total team effort. Everybody played

really well.”For the Owls, it was their third-

straight championship game loss, having lost to EMS last year and to Oak Bay in 2012.

“They’re a nice team to play against,” Smith said. “They compete fiercely, but they’re a very classy team.”

Though the team will lose five seniors to graduation next year – Bell-Foley, Lee, Faester, Montgomery and Tyler Patrick – Smith expects the next wave of players to keep the team competitive moving forward.

“We have a great group of Grade 11s, and hopefully we’ll get some good junior guys coming up next year, too,” he said.

“I think we’ll be good. We’ve been in the finals four of the last five years now, and I think we have a bright future.”

Cigarette smoking is bad for our health. Period. We all know that smoking can lead to such terrible tragedies as lung cancer, stroke and heart attack, making smoking one of the leading causes of preventable deaths world-wide. What many people do not know very well, is that smoking is bad for the health of our skin as well.

Just look at the skin of a chronic smoker. It is often drier and full of wrinkles, making smokers look much older than they actually are. This is because the chemicals found in cigarettes damage collagen, which is the main connective tissue keeping our skin fl exible, smooth and vibrant. Smoking also constricts blood fl ow so that proper moisture and nourishment is not able to saturate the skin properly, leaving the skin dry and withered looking. Impaired collagen production and poor circulation also leads to a decreased ability to heal from cuts and wounds, putting smokers at greater risk to suffer with stubborn infections.

Cigarette smoking also puts the immune system into a state of chronic infl ammation, triggering off such skin diseases as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, hand eczema, hair loss, acne and lupus. Nicotine in tobacco is an immune-suppressant, which means that smokers tend to have higher rates of HPV infections (warts), herpes, malignant melanoma and other skin cancers.

Research has pointed out that the ill effects of smoking on skin health is not limited to just the smokers themselves,

as those who are passively breathing in smoke can be affected as well. Children exposed to second hand smoke, either with the mother smoking cigarettes during her pregnancy or by someone smoking regularly in their home environment, have a much greater risk of developing, not only eczema, but other allergic diseases such as asthma and hay fever.

If you are a smoker, I encourage you to quit for the sake of your overall health. A new year is approaching so why not make a commitment to a healthier lifestyle. Your skin and the rest of your body will thank you!

Wishing you the best of health,Dr. Erikson

Trudy Jane MerrellMarch 14, 1956 November 19, 2014

Trudy Jane Merrell always dreamt of seeing peaceful faraway exotic vistas. In the wee hours of November 19th, 2014, she rose up on the breath of a dove to start that journey. She took a little bit from everyone she had ever met in her 58 years and

left a little bit with everyone in exchange. If you had a tear she had a hug, if you had a smile she had spare change, if you needed a hand she lent you an arm and a leg, and if you had something to say she would listen until you stopped.

Trudy was born in Stettler, Alberta to Richard (predeceased) and Eva Grant (nee Thorne) from Owen Sound Ont. and Edmonton Alta. respectively. Trudy was the 6th of 9 children raised in a wholesome farm setting where she learned to eat off the land (peas and raspberries) at an early age (2). Her big sisters Jean, Marion and Joy, her big brothers Lynn (predeceased) and Colin and her younger siblings Ross (predeceased), Roberta and George all had a hand in creating a sister with character befi tting a Grant. Married in Calgary on November 8th, 1975 to Rick Merrell, she and Rick celebrated their 39th anniversary with their daughter Moon, their grandson Phoenix, and parents and siblings from Calgary and Nelson.

An adventurer thru and thru Trudy never backed down from a new “what if”. What if we squatted in an old miner’s cabin in the Kootenays? What if we were the fi rst couple to run the David Thompson Resort in the middle of Banff National Park in the winter? What if we moved to the top of some 7300 ft mountain and looked for fi res? What if ……oh we’re having a baby, well what if we made a tipi to live in? What if we went north to fi nd gold? It was always “What are we waiting for?”. She is with me forever. Trudy loved everything outdoors, good scotch, crackling fi res, family gatherings, laughing friends and wide eyed babies. She could crank start a Land Rover, use a .357 mag to keep the bears away from the dog food, bake bread in a 45 gallon drum and feed 50 hungry miners usually before noon. Moving to White Rock in 1985 from Creston, Trudy traded in her spatula for a shovel and her apron for knee pads and became a student of Mother Earth’s medium, soil. For the next 29 years as a gardener, landscaper, designer, and journeyman production horticulturalist her quest for quality overfl owed from her workmanship to relationships and her stewardship of Gaia.

Although Trudy is on her way, in the spring when the buds are starting to open, the bees are searching for a sliver of color and the air has a warm kiss of renewal, two celebrations will be held; one in Alberta and one on the west coast. Anyone who ever knew Trudy will be welcome to attend and share their stories, sow some seeds, tip a glass and fuel her everlasting journey with laughter.

In the end all that really matters is How well you lived How well you Loved And how well you let go

November 24, 2014

With great sadness we say goodbye to Frances; loyal wife, wonderful mother, devot-ed sister and good friend.Frances was born in Bermondsey, East London in the dark days before WW2. She spent her early childhood in these extraordinary times in towns around South-East England. She often recounted stories of air raids, food ration-ing and outdoor adventures with her sisters in the English countryside. After moving to London as a young woman, she eventually met and mar-ried George and soon took the great leap of faith and followed him to his hometown of Van-couver. Several years later, George and Fran moved to White Rock; living in the same house for 46 years. Frances was a skilled cook, avid bridge player, ferocious reader of British mysteries, adventurous traveller and a keen gardener.She will be dearly missed by husband George, children Kathy (Jason), Peter, Chris (Yulia), grandson Max and extended family in Canada and the UK. Frances’ illness was long and diffi cult but she fought with the same princi-ples that she lived by; a quiet determination and common sense approach. In her own words, she “had a good, long life and was very lucky”.Funeral service: Wednesday, December 3rd at 3.00pm at Star of the Sea Church, 1153 Fir Str., White Rock,In lieu of fl owers please con-sider a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society’s Volunteer Drivers Program or a charity of your choice.
