Father ‘tickled pink’ with son’s release

125-day sentence for assault Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A man who admitted to helping beat and kick his friend unconscious over a $250 amp says he is “getting too old” to continue with the lifestyle drugs led him to. “My dad’s here and he needs me,” Tyrone McDougall told Judge Ellen Gordon Friday in Surrey Provincial Court, shortly before he was sentenced. “I’m going to make the best of the chance I’m given.” McDougall, 34, pleaded guilty in December to assault and assault causing bodily harm in connection with the attack, which occurred May 22, 2012 in White Rock and prompted a police raid two days later. He was one of two men arrested for the crime; his co-accused, Robert Dean Orr, was sentenced in December to nine months in jail. Friday, Crown Angela Lee told Gordon that McDougall, Orr and the attack victim were all drug users at the time of the offence. She said the incident occurred when McDougall and Orr went to a White Rock home to collect on proceeds from the sale of an amplifier, and found the equipment had been “sold” for crystal meth. Those proceeds were shared between two men who lived at the home, she said. After learning about the sale, McDougall punched one man in the face and then he and Orr waited until the friend who had shared the drugs came home. At that time, both McDougall and Orr “began assaulting (the friend) without warning, simultaneously.” They punched and kicked him until he lost consciousness, then repeated the beating when the man woke up, again until he lost consciousness, Lee said. Photos shown to the court showed the badly bruised and swollen victim in a neck brace. In asking Gordon to impose a sixmonth jail term and one year probai see page 4

Call renewed for crosswalk after motorcycle strikes three teens

Friends remember student killed in crash Sheila Reynolds and Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Friends are remembering a teen who was struck and killed by a motorcycle outside a Surrey high school Wednesday as a sweet girl with a beautiful smile. Amarpreet Sivia, 16, was walking across the street in front of Princess Margaret Secondary when a motorcycle hit her and two other girls. The motorcyclist and one of the pedestrians were taken to hospital in critical condition. A third teen was less-seriously injured. Mourners took to Twitter and Facebook following the incident.

Counsellors have been on-hand at the high school since Wednesday to assist students and staff in dealing with the tragedy. Police remained on the scene Thursday morning and investigators attempted to recreate the moments before the accident, with two plainclothes officers walking across the street, while another rode a motorcycle down different lanes at various speeds, wearing a camera on his helmet. Surrey RCMP are looking to speak to the driver of a vehicle that was passed by the motorcyclist prior to Wednesday’s crash. Anyone who witnessed the incident who has not spoken to police is asked to call the Surrey RCMP Criminal Collision Investigation Team (CCIT) at 604-599-0502.

Decades-old albums, marriage certificate found in storage room

Former Surrey staffer

Owner of documents, photos sought Planner

to plead guilty

Alex Browne Staff Reporter

It’s a real-life mystery that staff at Bay Realty’s Windsor Square office hope has a happy ending. A marriage certificate from 1931, three albums of family photos apparently dating from the 1970s, some architectural plans for a home on 13A Avenue from the early 1970s and some black-and-white photos of a house model from the same era were discovered when a storage room at the office was being cleared out. But nobody working out of the office knows anything about the small collection, or recognizes anyone in the photos, manager Anita Brenner said. “Everybody assumed they belonged to somebody else here,” she said. “We hope to restore them to their rightful owner or owners. “I don’t want to throw anything like this out.” Brenner said she believes the albums, marriage certificate and plans may have been left in the office by former occupants of the office suite, at 246-1959 in Windsor Square, before Bay Realty moved in some three years ago. The recent cleaning out of the storeroom brought the items to light, she said. “They were among a lot of stuff that was just garbage, old phones and things like that,” she added. The albums include baby pictures and snapshots of a young family and relatives, and also pictures of an older couple, all of which seem to date from the early to mid 1970s. The marriage certificate was issued in Ontario on June 6, 1931, to a Rowland Beverley Stett and Winifred Mary Stett (nee Crosland). Bound in decorative paper booklet form, it also includes signatures of guests who attended the ceremony. A search on a Canadian genealogical website reveals that Stett, born in Ontario in 1909, was also known as Roland Steet, and died in White Rock in 1974. The large-format house plans were prepared in 1972 for Joanne Brown by Lawrence Redpath Architects, for a house on 13A Avenue. Former occupants of the offices, health insurers Westpro Benefit Systems underwent a corporate rebranding to Group Health Global Benefit Systems a few years ago. Its corporate headquarters are still in White Rock. A representative of the company said staff would check to see if any current employees who worked at the former office could shed any light on the items. Complicating the puzzle is the fact that while the items were found together, it’s not clear that they belong to the same owner. If there is a connection between them, it would seem to go back to the early 1970s,

Anita Brenner is hoping to find the rightful owner of decades-old photo albums, plans and certificates that were discovered in the storage room of a Windsor Square business. Brenner said. But what they’re doing in a realty office 40 years later is a matter of conjecture, she agreed. Her theory is that a significant event led to the abandonment of some key family mementos. “I’m thinking divorce, and I’m thinking they

were left behind by a male,” she said. “A woman wouldn’t have left these.” Anyone who believes they have a claim to the items, or has information that could help reunite them with the rightful owner is asked to contact Brenner at 604-531-4000.

A former City of Surrey planner is intending to plead guilty this week to charges related to accepting bribes and defrauding the city. Akonyu Akolo, who was fired in 2010, was criminally charged in 2011 after a lengthy police investigation. Akolo was scheduled to be in Surrey Provincial Court last Wednesday but did not attend. He faces five charges – bribing an agent, corrupt municipal official, breach of trust by a public officer, giving false account to deceive principal, and fraudulent concealment. His next court date is Sept. 26, and the court registry indicates he plans to Akonyu Akolo enter guilty pleas in court at that time. Akolo was in charge of area planning and development for South Surrey. He had worked for the city for 17 years. It was alleged he accepted bribes from developers in order to fasttrack development applications. His questionable dealings were reported to city officials by a developer in April 2010. During their investigation, police found no criminal wrongdoing on the part of the developer or any other Surrey staffers. Akolo initially denied all the allegations. The City of Surrey also has a civil lawsuit against Akolo over missing funds. In a suit filed in April 2010, the city claimed unnamed developers acted in conspiracy with Akolo to bilk the city out of various development fees. The city also accused Akolo of using the funds he took to purchase his home in North Delta.

A‘ NEW WAY TO HEAR...

Suspect arrested hours later at Vancouver airport

OPEN CANAL’ HEARING INSTRUMENTS

Surrey records 18th murder Kevin Diakiw Black Press

The suspect in a deadly shooting in Surrey Friday afternoon was arrested at the airport just hours after police located the victim. Just after 4 p.m. Friday, police responded to a shots-fired call at 145A Street and 81A Avenue. They arrived to find a Vietnamese man dead. His alleged attacker had fled in a green 2000 Honda Odyssey van. Following a massive manhunt that closed several roads, police arrested a 56-year-old man at Vancouver International Airport just before midnight.

Hong Manh Nguyen was to appear in Surrey Provincial Court Monday (Sept. 23) afternoon. As of Monday morning, police were still looking for the van, license number 390 XHB, and officials with the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team are asking anyone that comes across this vehicle to call 911 immediately. The shooting was Surrey’s 18th murder of the year, far exceeding the average over the last decade, which was 14. The most murders in any one year in the last decade occurred in 2005, when 21 homicides were recorded. - with files from Rick Kupchuk

Civic politicians vote down regulation plan at UBCM

Scooter plan loses steam Tom Fletcher Black Press

VANCOUVER – A bid by the town of Sidney to regulate the use of mobility scooters on sidewalks was rejected in a split vote by local politicians last week. On the advice of the executive, delegates to the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention voted Wednesday to drop a request for provincial licensing of sidewalk scooters and to exclude motorized wheelchairs from any restrictions. But a majority of delegates voted against any kind of regulation. Sidney Mayor Larry Cross urged support, telling delegates there has been one fatality in his community and two “serious

rollovers” this past summer as scooters shared sidewalks with pedestrians. “We’re kind of the canary in the mine in terms of the aging population, and the incidents and conflicts can only grow over time,” Cross said. Other council members were unimpressed. “If you have a problem with your sidewalks and people are rolling over, maybe you need to fix the sidewalks,” said Langley Township Coun. Bob Long. “There are motorized bicycles, so is that the next thing – we’re going to license bicycles?” Sidney Coun. Melissa Hailey said the community has “wonderful sidewalks,” but education and some regulation is needed.

“There is no real legislation or any ability to deal with unsafe scootering on our sidewalks,” Hailey said. “Drinking and scootering is very hard to enforce.” Nelson Coun. Robin Cherbo said a solution is needed. His community has narrow sidewalks and some scooter users take to the roadway, without flags or lights. Cranbrook Mayor Wayne Stetski was opposed, after talking with scooter and wheelchair users in his community. Saanich councillor Vic Derman agreed that scooter users and pedestrians need education, but communities should focus on local improvements to give scooter users more safe routes.

UBCM supports 4-year terms Tom Fletcher

4 PAGES

Black Press

Delegates at the Union of B.C. Municipalities have endorsed having local elections every four years, to match up with provincial votes. The resolution to extend terms of office from three years to four was supported by 60 per cent of voting delegates, who want the B.C. government to make the change in time for municipal elections in November 2014. If it is enacted, B.C. would join Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, Ontario, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick, which have four-year terms for local politicians. The issue has divided urban and rural communities for years, with some rural councillors calling for shorter terms for what they say is mainly volunteer work with minimum pay. One rural delegate said the idea comes from “professional politicians” in the Lower Mainland, where council pay is higher.

Local government representatives vote on a list of resolutions. Proponents argue that fouryear terms reduce turnover and would increase local election participation by being timed with provincial votes. The UBCM executive added another argument for the change, noting that several local mayors and councillors were elected to the B.C. legislature in May. The executive called for direction from the province “to avoid

governance conflicts, expensive byelections, long absences on council and boards and the double-dipping of salaries.” The UBCM rejected the suggestion of four-year terms at its 2010 convention. It was debated and supported in 2007. Earlier motions supported the current system of elections every three years province-wide.

Safety a shared responsibility

he death of Anita Lewis, who died July 14 after being struck by a northbound train on White Rock’s waterfront, is a lamentable tragedy – and no amount of argument on what should be done about safety precautions can minimize that. It’s obvious the majority of Peninsula residents place a high value on human life, and wish to do everything possible to prevent similar tragedies from occurring in the future. For some, there can’t be too many safety measures in place to protect the public. But so long as people live cheek-by-jowl with a railway – a matter not of whim, but historic fact for many B.C. communities – care must continue to be taken. And White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin, in his resistance to a Transport Canada call for more gates, bells, lights and whistles, is right to suggest that there is a limit to what can be done by a city to protect the public. The circumstances of Lewis’ death (she was jogging, reportedly with earphones on) seem to point to a classic misjudgment – an assumption on the part of many pedestrians that the sheer size of a train makes it visible and easy to avoid. The forgotten factor is that trains travel at a rate in which they can reach a crossing deceptively fast, and the difference between not knowing and suddenly becoming aware one is approaching can be a matter of a split second. As has been proven time and again, due to the way in which sound travels, audible cues to the approach of a train – even whistles – can also be deceptive. Looking both ways before crossing the line – and avoiding risky behaviour – should be mandatory. But, as Baldwin has pointed out, not even the most aggressive campaign to protect the public can remove all danger from the scenario. It seems that, in addressing the problem, we must strike a balance between civic diligence and a reasonable expectation of individual caution. And Baldwin had it about right when he said – at the time a safety review was announced in July – that crossing the tracks was analogous to setting foot into a busy intersection. “You wouldn’t step off into a heavily-trafficked area without looking – that’s obviously asking for trouble,” he said. To suggest – as Baldwin has done – that individuals, as well as civic government, bear some responsibility for their own and others’ safety is not an expression of callous indifference. It’s a matter of common sense.

retired Canadian Forces officer from Kelowna who travels around taking readings, talking to elderly people about alleged hazards of meters and making claims to the media about what he has called the single biggest threat to human health today. The BCUC found his military experience not “relevant,” and his evidence frequently “incorrect, exaggerated and/or unsubstantiated.” Then there was Curtis Bennett, who described himself as “chief science officer” for a company called Thermoguy. He spoke on behalf of West Kootenay Concerned Citizens. In a 2012 letter to the B.C. energy ministry, Bennett warned of the danger of smart meters triggering “molecular earthquakes.” The BCUC panel wrote: “While Mr. Bennett has an electrician’s knowledge of electrical systems, it is clear that he is unqualified to give expert opinion evidence on the health effects of RF, exposure standards for RF, engineering, physics or geological phenomena such as earthquakes.” Citizens for Safe Technology put up one Dr. Donald Maisch, who claimed to have experience with this issue in Australia. The panel noted that Maisch runs EMFacts Consultancy, and agreed with FortisBC’s argument that “Dr. Maisch’s consulting livelihood depends upon public fears and concerns about RF exposure.” Would you like this circus to be restaged over BC Hydro’s program, at your expense?

Meddling costs us

It shouldn’t be left to the U.S.

I pray a reasonable solution and end to this incomprehensible situation is close at hand. M. Downey, White Rock

Editor: Re: Our choices, money vanish; Beacons of hopelessness, Sept. 17 letters. Letters to the Peace Arch News give me a good chuckle twice a week. On Sept. 17, we have two technophobic letters fulminating about Wi-Fi and/or smart meters. It’s a done deal – get over it! I’m not interested in paying for my neighbours’ “meter choice.” These writers should consider columnist Tom Fletcher’s concise piece in the same issue (Bills come due at BC Hydro). We are long overdue for payment of costs incurred through political meddling with BC Hydro. Hydro has become an out-of-control monopoly where politics always trumps commercial and technical principles. My preference would be privatization with appropriate regulation and taxation of profit. Not likely in B.C. Francis Patrick Jordan, White Rock

Editor: The situation in Syria is totally inhuman, appalling and totally unacceptable. The inhumanity, the suffering everywhere and the deplorable life conditions is beyond understanding. What I don’t understand is this. Doesn’t anyone in the Middle East – such as Egypt, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, to name a few – feel it is their duty to intervene and try to obtain justice for these beleaguered, suffering individuals? Do they not feel a responsibility and offer aid? Why, in these situations, is it always the United States who comes forward? And why should they? Wasn’t Korea, Vietnam and Afghanistan enough? Must it go on ad infinitum?

Issue must be top of mind Editor: Re: Mental-health savings costly, Sept. 10 editorial. The editorial in the PAN regarding mental health was excellent. Mental illness, like physical illness, needs to be addressed by diagnosis and treatment. The headlines these days in the papers and radio are calling for more attention to be paid to mental health. To close an evening clinic at the hospital seems like a backward step. And if closed, it will probably be very difficult to open again. Even though mental illness is

difficult to discuss, the more we know about it the better. Mary MacDonald, White Rock

Handmade, heartfelt Editor: Re: The power of craft, Sept. 12 I winced when I read the quotes from one artist in this article. She believes that when she sews, knits and crochets, she is creating art that deserves to be shown in a gallery. Then she goes on to describe her grandmother’s handwork and says “…as kids we’d all get these horrendous hats and scarves.” Ouch! These items were probably made with love, possibly made with arthritic hands. It was a thoughtless, dismissive and ungrateful remark about gifts that were given from somebody’s heart.

Chaos at closing time Editor: Re: Sandpiper penalized again, Sept. 5. This pub has been in this location for years, but times have changed. This neighbourhood is now primarily residential, with very expensive homes and condos directly behind and adjacent to the pub. During the daylight hours, the clientele is respectable and there are no issues arising from its operation. However, during the later evening hours, the clientele changes dramatically and no respect is given for the neighbourhood and the residents living in close proximity. The neighbouring homeowners repetitively sustain sleepless nights with the blaring sound system fracturing the atmosphere until 2 a.m., and then there are the fights, loud cursing sessions amongst drunks, fights breaking out, motorcycles revving engines and urinating through the neighbourhood, as the inebriated head out at closing time, tossing their garbage wherever they wish. We are constantly having to phone the police to intervene, but they can only do so much since the pub has “entertainment” licensing, which apparently allows them to ruin the lifestyle of the residents who have to get up and go to work each morning. The only unfortunate thing about the recent pub closure, for the neighbourhood, is that it wasn’t a permanent closure. This pub operation has outlived its shelf life and is not appropriate for a residential area. The fact that its co-owner is a council member adds insult to the injury and reflects very poorly on council ethics and the whole issue of vested interests and conflicts of interest.

Editor: Re: Councillors lash out at city hall rethink, Sept. 12. Much has been said about the possible change in direction regarding the proposed White Rock City Hall council chambers. I am not going to belabour the actual issue. Instead, I wish to address much of the commentary that has nothing to do with the decision and everything to do with pride and image. Even as recently as the Peace Arch News’ Sept. 17 edition (Robinson drops call, maintains criticism) there are statements of the tone, “We look like idiots.” Coun. Larry Robinson’s statement is true, but not for the reason he intended. The world is not a neat and tidy place. It does, upon many occasions, throw spanners into our most carefully created and crafted works. As we make our plans, there is often the unstated assumption of “perfect knowledge” – that we have discovered all there is to know about the problem and can blithely make the decision and move on. To some extent, we have to operate in that manner so that the sheer weight of decisions does not become an ever-increasing burden that, of itself, clogs the machinery and prevents it from working. The town-hall issue was decided and plans started to be made, operations begun. Subsequently, significant new information came to light, i.e. that another entity expresses interest in the same property.

I ask you, in what way does the council look like idiots? Do they look like idiots because they say, “One moment; we need to consider this”? I think not. I think there are only two ways for them to present as less-than-responsible leaders. One is to simply ignore this new issue; to say that they made their decision and there’s nothing that can affect, stop or change it. Another way is for them to comment that they look like idiots for acting responsibly and considering the new information and, perhaps, changing their course. There are many cases that a council changes a decision. One only has to look at the number of zoning changes, exceptions and such. Each is a reconsideration and alteration of a previously made decision. Alternately, consider the water-treatment decision. A town council decided to sell it. Now, a town council wishes to return it to the city. I am sure that a look at the history of resolutions, and bylaws that are made, unmade, and altered will yield other such occurrences. So, councillors, don’t be idiots. Do the responsible thing. Consider the merits of the decision based on this new information and stop worrying about how it will “look.” Stop worrying about your image. You are, after all, not omniscient. You’re human. Admit that you can make a mistake and examine what you’ve done. You might find you were right all along. Kevin-Neil Klop, White Rock

Traffic at the north end of the Massey Tunnel.

No words on toll or scope

New bridge to unclog Massey Jeff Nagel Black Press

A new bridge will replace the aging George Massey Tunnel, but the provincial government isnâ€™t yet saying if the span will be tolled. Premier Christy Clark promised construction will begin in 2017, in her speech Friday at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. Clark said itâ€™s too early to say how improved transit along Highway 99 might fit into the project or whether tolls will be required to pay for it. If the new bridge is tolled, it would join the new Port Mann, the Golden Ears and possibly the Pattullo â€“Â where tolls are also an option to pay for replacement â€“Â as Metro Vancouver bridges that motorists must pay to cross. The premier said the

province is following the advice of the public provided in consultations that a new bridge is best, rather than another tunnel. The province is also rejecting one controversial alignment that would have crossed the river further upstream and was strongly opposed over concern it would intensify pressure to develop farmland in east Richmond. â€œPeople said the tunnel must be replaced and it must be replaced on the same route,â€? Clark told UBCM, adding the project will relieve congestion on what is now â€œthe worst bottleneck in the Lower Mainland.â€? A newly released report on public feedback found â€œmediumâ€? support for building a new bridge and also keeping the old tunnel.

Smart meter opt-out fee much lower in U.S., says MLA

BC Hydro fee ‘outrageous’ Jeff Nagel Black Press

BC Hydro’s planned fee of $35 a month for people who continue to refuse wireless smart meters is “outrageous” and isn’t justified based on what other jurisdictions charge, according to B.C.’s lone Green Party MLA. A n d r e w Weaver (Oak B ay - G ord on Andrew Weaver Head) said MLA the proposed charge for manual meter readings is as high a many people’s entire power bills. “People perceive it as price gouging,” he said, adding the fees should accurately reflect Hydro costs and not generate extra

BC Hydro plans to charge those who refuse smart meters. profit.” Weaver pointed to some U.S. states that have similar opt-out programs from smart meters but charge much less. California charges $10 a month after a $75 up-front fee, while low-income customers pay $5 a month after a $10 initial fee. Maine charges $12 a month for

analog meter readings, after a $40 initial charge. BC Hydro’s fees still require approval by the B.C. Utilities Commission. Weaver said he’s urging the regulators to reject the $35 fee here based on the disparity with charges elsewhere. Holdouts here can also opt to take a smart meter with the transmitter disabled for a $100 onetime fee followed by $20 each month. Maine’s radio-disabled smart meter option costs $20 up front then $10.50 a month. Weaver said he doesn’t oppose wireless smart meters but added Hydro must provide a reasonable opt-out. He said BC Hydro’s price would be more logical if it were charged not monthly but on each actual meter reading every few months.

to a parent’s worst nightmare?” Wednesday, the court also heard statements from the killer’s brother, sister and mother as they appeared via teleconference. The accused teen wept as he listened to his family speak. Earlier that day, Crown Counsel Wendy Stephen called experts from the provincial and federal prison systems to bolster her argument that the now 20-year-old should be sentenced as an adult. He was just weeks shy of his 18th birthday

when he killed Szendrei. If he was 18, he would have been tried as an adult. It was on Sept. 25, 2010 that the young man awoke at 9 a.m. with an urge to have sex, Crown prosecutor Wendy Stephen said during the beginning of the sentencing hearing in July. The court heard the killer did some work with his dad and decided he was going to act on his urge. He packed a pipe and zap straps and went to Mackie Park in

North Delta, where he saw Szendrei, who he didn’t know. Upon seeing her, he tried to loop a zap strap around her neck, hoping to render her unconscious so he could have sex with her. She saw him and started to run, and that’s when he struck her in the head with a pipe three times. She died in hospital later that evening. The matter has been put over until Friday to fix a date to continue sentencing. – with files from Sheila Reynolds

Humanitarian trip to impoverished country spurs White Rock women to continue to help

Quake-ravaged Haiti still needs help Sarah Massah

Staff Reporter

wo White Rock women returned from a humanitarian mission to Haiti this summer with much more than memories and photos. Project Aftershock founder Laura Mawhinney and friend Christina Bailey are working around the clock to ensure the world doesn’t forget about the devastated Caribbean country still reeling from the 2010 earthquake, after visiting in June. After seeing the appalling conditions in the tent cities – the third time for Mawhinney since 2010 – the two women were determined to help, even after their 10-day mission wrapped up. Through fundraising and grants, the duo have been raising funds to provide medical relief to the thousands struggling daily. “Someone needs to adopt Haiti. It can’t make it on its own,” Mawhinney said. While they have both been working on providing relief to as many people as they can, the opportunity to directly change a life for the better presented itself this summer in the form of a man named Robert, whom they met on their mission. The father of two walked into the compound where the two woman were stationed providing medical relief, wearing rolled up pink shorts, caked with blood, a gash on his face from being struck by a car three days prior and other severe injuries sustained by rubble that fell on him all those years ago, trapping him for days after the earthquake. “At first, we didn’t know what to do. He was so broken,” Mawhinney recalled. “That was the most pain and suffering I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot of pain in the 3½ years I’ve been going.” The two women, who are both heavily involved in their local church, saw Robert as someone sent from God that they were to help. After praying with him, the girls sent him home with all the provisions they could offer him, with plans to check on him later. In the spare time they had when not helping other injured and sick Haitians, Mawhinney and Bailey thought about what they could do for Robert. “You can’t save everyone. You almost go in with this wall. Then I realized I had two cheques from two different friends for about $500,” Mawhinney recalled. “I ran up to Christina, and I screamed ‘I’m going to

Above right, Mawhinney and Bailey with other members of the family. sponsor Robert and his kids.’ “You see someone who is living like that and as a human, you need to do something.” After finalizing the details on how the money would come to Robert (funds cannot be given directly or else people may fight over the money, Mawhinney explained), the duo decided to pay him a visit and share the news.

Upon entering the crowded make-shift home, both Mawhinney and Bailey were drawn to a baby. “The eyes, I knew we had seen them before,” Mawhinney said. After meeting the mother, it clicked. They had met before. Prior to meeting Robert, Mawhinney and Bailey had been taken to a mother

who had been severely injured after rubble crashed down on her and her family when the earthquake hit. The young woman was nursing her infant child with a shattered leg that had a temporary rod holding it together. “The medics must have put it in, but when it came time to take it out, they may have left. So it was just left there,” Mawhinney said. “She was in so much pain, but she wanted us to take a photo of her baby all dressed up. “She was still so full of life” While there was not much they could do for the mother and baby, other than provide medical supplies and food, they planned to check on her before they left. As they soon found out, Robert and the woman had married after both lost their spouses in the earthquake. “We were shocked as his new wife was the lady with the baby who we just couldn’t get off our hearts from days earlier,” Mawhinney said. Now, through the help of a church situated in the Haitian tent city in which Robert resides, Mawhinney and Bailey send money over to their adopted family. Through the money from Mawhinney’s Marine Drive thrift store, Robert and his family have moved from living under a tarp to an apartment with water and electricity. The cost is $500 per year. Mawhinney and Bailey are currently working to save up for the $1,000 surgery Robert’s wife requires to remove the iron rod in her leg.

Team of 25 riders to travel 800 kilometres

Tour to raise cancer funds A team of 25 law enforcement and emergency services personnel will set out on an 800-km bicycle trip Thursday to raise funds for pediatric cancer programs and research. The Cops for Cancer Tour de Valley begins in Aldergrove and travels through more than a dozen Fraser Valley communities – including South Surrey and White Rock on Sept. 27 – before ending in Abbotsford Oct. 4. In every community, the tour stops at schools and supporter businesses to promote the ride and its cause. The Tour de Fraser Valley includes participants from the Semiahmoo Peninsula and surrounding communities. Surrey RCMP Const. Amber Briggs, 36, said she will take part for the first time this year after learning about Camp Goodtimes – a unique summer recreation program for kids and teens with cancer. “That puts into perspective where the funds are going and how the funds are being spent,” she told Peace Arch News last week. “Kids can actually feel like kids for a week in their lives. So it’s pretty special to see how the funds are being used and it’s very heartfelt.” The four-year Surrey RCMP member noted that while the hundreds of kilometers of train-

Surrey Hospice Society has appointed a new executive director. Beth Kish was most recently the executive director of the Foothills Country Hospice Society, an eight-bed facility near Calgary. Since 1986, the Surrey Hospice Society (SHS) has been offering volunteer-based emotional and spiritual support for those dealing with lifeending issues and their loved ones. Currently, SHS has 20 hospice beds at Laurel Place Residence in North Surrey, 10 beds at Surrey Memorial Hospital (SMH) and nearly 150 volunteers offering supports. SHS provides youth and adult-counselling programs, and also offers translation and clerical services. “I think we have a

counselling offices in Guildford is something the clients appreciate. And with a multicultural client base, the society has recently hired a Punjabi-speaking counsellor, with the goal of broadening the scope of the services offered. For more information, visit www.surreyhospice.com

Cirque Surrey will be one of the many groups performing during Culture Days, which is set to take place Sept. 27-29 throughout Surrey.

Celebrating Surrey culture Surrey city council has officially proclaimed Sept. 27-29 as Culture Days. Culture Days is a national celebration of arts and culture and features more than 7,000 activities in more than 850 Canadian cities and towns. The celebration offers interactive opportunities through free, hands-on, activities that invite the public to participate behind-the-scenes, to discover the world of artists, creators, historians, architects, curators, designers and other creative people in their communities. Culture Days is meant to raise the awareness, accessibility, participation and engagement of Canadians in the arts and cultural life of their communities. Upcoming Culture

Days activities in Surrey are free and include Cirque Surrey, break-dance demonstrations and performances by the Surrey Youth Orchestra. “Surrey has a vibrant arts and culture community that we want to support and expand,” said Mayor Dianne Watts. “We want to do everything possible to ensure the arts community continues to flourish and grow. Culture Days is a great way to support it.” “Culture Days is a wonderful way to raise awareness of arts and heritage activities and venues in our city,” said Surrey Coun. Judy Villeneuve. “Council is certainly receptive to the idea of hosting the BC Culture Days launch in Surrey in 2014.”

Cancer, your ingenuity is treasured among the people closest to you, but those who do not know you may be unfamiliar with the tricks you have up your sleeve. Take time to show them.

It's time to ditch any bad habits that have been holding you back, Capricorn. Set a new course, with new goals, and those old habits will soon be an afterthought.

Four tips for starting a RUN WALK program When starting any new activity, it is always a good idea to start slow. Whether you choose to walk, run, push or crawl on October 20th, you still have time to prepare your body to participate. The event is a fun day that welcomes every level of ability and pace. Before starting a routine, consider these tips to help you have the most success. Tip #1: Set a goal “I am going to walk 5 km on October 20th for my ER.” The date is taken care of, October 20th, now you can choose the distance you want to complete – 1 km or 5 km. Once you establish your personal expectations, you can create a plan that gives you the best chance of success. Tip #2: Be a friend “Want to join me in walking 5 km on October 20th? Let’s start this week, you in?” Activity is more enjoyable and easier to stick to when you have a friend, buddy, spouse or neighbour join you. Research shows that people who exercise with others have better overall results and better By Sara Hodson, BHK, ACSM adherence. Not only will you increase CES/CET your personal chances of success, you’ll Clinical Exercise Physiologist Director | Live Well be encouraging someone else to improve Program Exercise Clinic their health. Tip #3: Make a schedule “Let’s meet at 9:30 am at the promenade for a walk on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday this week.”

Planning is key to your success. October 20th is your destination, now you just need a map (or plan) to get there. START SLOW. If you are not physically active, consider starting out three days a week for 30 minutes of walking and build up slowly. Give yourself a day of recovery in between exercise days. Helpful Hint: 30 minutes of exercise can be split into three 10 minute bouts to receive the same benefit. Tip #4: Hydrate and Nourish your body “Let’s go grab some water and a healthy lunch after our walk today.” Preparing for a 5 km walk also means that your body needs to be properly nourished for activity. Drink water before, during and after a long walk and be sure to eat a balanced healthy diet rich in whole foods, not food-like products. Make sure you eat breakfast on the day of the event, your body will need the fuel. If you can follow these tips, you’ll have a great chance of being successful on October 20th. Remember to have fun and choose activities you enjoy. See you there! **Please note: It’s important to consult a doctor prior to engaging in any physical activity program to ensure that exercise is not only appropriate but safe for you at this time.

Changing lives for the better at Concord “Stepping onto a brand-new path is difficult, but not more difficult than remaining in a situation, which is not nurturing to the whole woman.” - Maya Angelou

hange is inevitable. Change is fearful, particularly as we age, because we fear losing the familiar and worry about the unknown. However, change can also be good. What if that very change made you feel safe and secure, improved your lifestyle and allowed you to maintain your independence in a nurturing and supportive environment, ensuring familiarity and comfort, which is essential to one’s physical and mental health? Concord Retirement Residence offers a positive change. This charming seaside community, just blocks from picturesque White Rock Beach makes it a priority to provide each and every resident customized service. “Our focus is to help residents wherever there is a need and those needs can be as different as our residents,” says Holly Mackintosh, Concord’s General Manager. “Some of our residents like to sleep in and prefer a late tray for breakfast so they can enjoy a leisurely morning.

One of our residents request a wake-up call at 6:00 a.m. for an early appointment so I’ll call him from home as I’m getting ready for work. Or we might have a resident that would like tea service in their suite if they are entertaining friends.” It’s the type of hands-on, personalized care that you’d be hard-pressed to find anywhere else on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. At Concord – comprised of a 36-unit main building and seven seaside cottages – the staff is dedicated to finding solutions to every problem, big or small, offering residents a host of options in all aspects of their lives. Residents who have pets can count on staff to care for them should they unexpectedly need a hospital stay. There is no need to worry if you aren’t feeling well and you need to do some shopping for a few necessities – someone can pick them up for you. Residents with special diet requirements, like gluten-free, can rest assured that the on-site chef will prepare special meals with their allergies in mind. “It may seem like these are little things, but it makes life so much easier for our residents,” Holly noted. “And they aren’t getting charged extra every time we help them – that is important.”

Concord residents enjoy a stroll along the waterfront during an outing on the retirement residence’s new bus (inset). Finding a retirement residence like Concord, that’s as unique as its residents and families is rare this day and age, when many such residences are owned by big corporations that run dozens of homes at a time. Locally owned and managed, the dayto-day operations are approached just as if it was their own home, rather than a business, and the residents are treated as if they were family, not customers. As a result, making changes or implementing new ideas is simplified. Requests from residents and their families are welcome and there is no red-tape or head office to work through. One recent addition at Concord is a new bus, with a lift for walkers, scooters or wheelchairs. Trips down to the beach, sightseeing ventures, casino, shopping, and other errands are now easier than ever for residents, even those requiring mobility devices. There is plenty for residents to take part

in on-site as well, with a full activity schedule including bingo, baking, crafts, cards and games, exercise classes and movie nights and a favourite – a lively discussion group. There is plenty of opportunity to try out new recreation ideas depending on the interest of the residents . “They always have a say in what they are doing,” says Holly. “If they have an idea, they let us know what they’d like to do.” With 24-hour emergency response, three home-cooked meals and snacks with optional in-suite tray service, weekly housekeeping and linen services, residents and their families can relax knowing they don’t have to worry, whilst still maintaining a level of independence they’re used to. And because of Concord’s small size and the close-knit nature of the staff, families are always kept well-informed about how their loved ones are doing. “I spend quite a bit of time communicating with family members, just letting them know if mom isn’t feeling well or if we’ve noticed any changes,” Holly says. “With being so small, we really know our residents well and get to know their families well also.” For a safe and happy environment with all the comforts and familiarity of home – and just the right amount of support you need – visit Concord Retirement Residence today. It’s home by the sea.

Stay healthy this season Tips for avoiding cold and flu viruses Heading into cold and flu season, it's an important reminder that the best way to stay healthy is through prevention. For seniors especially, avoiding cold and flu germs is particularly important, as a simple virus can easily escalate into something much more serious. While nothing will guarantee you will be able to completely prevent illness related to cold and flu viruses, following these tips may help you to avoid catching a nasty illness this fall and winter. • Stay rested. Factors that may increase the risk of catching a cold or flu are fatigue and emotional stress. Be sure to take the time to rest if you feel something coming on and don't overdo it if you wake up with a fever, aches and pains, or are coughing, sniffling, and sneezing. • Wash your hands. Yes, we have all heard this over and over, but hand washing is one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of illness. Cold and flu viruses can spread through indirect contact such as touching objects like door handles, and can live for two to eight hours on surfaces. Everyone should wash their hands frequently with soap and water, or if unavailable, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. • Avoid sharing food and beverages. Cold and flu viruses can spread through direct contact, such as sharing drinks or food. Avoid sharing straws, bottles, snacks and utensils with others, especially if you are sick.

Thinkstock photo

The dreaded cold and flu season is upon us. • Cover your sneezes and coughs. When you sneeze or cough, cover your nose and mouth with a tissue if possible. Cough or sneeze into your sleeve if you do not have a tissue handy. Lead by example and teach your family to follow suit. • Get a flu shot. The most effective way to decrease complications and reduce the impact of the flu is to get a preventative-vaccine shot. In B.C., flu shots are offered free to senior citizens 65 years and older. To find out where flu immunization clinics are available in your neighbourhood, speak to your doctor, or call the health hotline at 811. -News Canada

Back to school season not just for kids/teens Plenty of opportunity for seniors on the Semiahmoo Peninsula to get back into the classroom

s students across the Semiahmoo Peninsula settle back into their back-to-school routines, it’s a great time for the community’s older generation to consider enroling in a class or activity. The benefits of lifelong learning for adults over the age of 50 are plentiful. It offers a chance to get out of the house and explore what the community has to offer, the opportunity to make new friends and learn new skills. Keeping your mind active and your brain working hard might even reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia. And there is plenty to choose from in White Rock and South Surrey, whether you want to tap into your inner artist, are looking to expand your cultural knowledge by learning a new language or you’re ready to tackle the dreaded task of working on a computer, there’s a class offered for everyone. White Rock Leisure Services offers a number of classes to choose from in a variety of areas. While some classes have already commenced for the fall, there are plenty with start dates in October, including a brand-new art class entitled Understanding Colour, which teaches how to avoid colour problems and use it to create harmony within a painting. If you’re into hands-on crafts, there are a few sewing classes to choose from, or if you want to improve your skills

Instructor Sungur Aktug teaches an Intro to Computers course at White Rock Community Centre earlier this year, where several such courses are running throughout the fall. in the kitchen several cooking classes – including pie baking, Thai curries, soup, chili and quick bread and a special gluten-free cooking course are kicking off over the next several weeks. Especially formatted for adults 55-plus, there are several computer courses offered at both the Kent Street Community Centre and the White Rock Community Centre. From the absolute basics, including the fundamental

components of computers and how to get started using them, to slightly more complicated topics including how to edit photographs, understanding email and using Microsoft Word. There are several different times and start dates for these important classes, so check out the City of White Rock’s fall leisure guide to find out more and get on your way to becoming a computer whiz.

The City of Surrey also has plenty to offer for local seniors to take part in over the fall months, especially when it comes to fitness activities. The drop-in gym at South Surrey Recreation Centre is up and running with badminton, pickle ball, table tennis, bridge and fitness classes that take place nearly every day. And the ever-popular bus day trips return with a range of exciting excursion options, including the Fall Foliage Tour between Hope and Manning Park (Oct. 16), The Museum of Glass in Tacoma, WA.

Do you know about the benefit payments, tax credits and discounts available specifically for seniors? The majority of Canadian seniors are entitled to receive income from the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) or the Quebec Pension Plan (QPP) and Old Age Security (OAS). The age at which you begin to receive these benefits affects the amount you receive. Canadians with low incomes may also qualify for the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) but must apply through Service Canada to receive it. Spouses or common-law couples who each receive CPP benefits and are both at least 60 years old can apply to share their CPP benefits. This may result in tax savings, but the overall amount of their benefits does not increase or decrease with pension sharing. Seniors may also be eligible for other tax credits based on their age, medical expenses and some types of disabilities. Other benefits available include those for Aboriginals, veterans, people who have lived or worked abroad and tax credits offered by some provinces and territories. You can find out which federal benefit or tax credit you’re eligible for, and how much, at the federal government’s websites, including ServiceCanada.gc.ca and the Canada Revenue Agency. Businesses and service providers for everything from entertainment to travel to financial services may also give

For instance, most financial institutions offer discounts or special packages for customers 60 or over. Check with your financial institution for more information. It is worth comparing discounted accounts with others not specifically for seniors. To make this task easier, the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) has an online Banking Package Selector Tool that lists more than 200 bank accounts offered by financial institutions across the country to help Canadians find the bank account that best meets their needs.

Dear Exhausted: There is no easy answer for you, but here are some suggestions: Have an open conversation with your spouse –get to the root of his/her reluctance so you can strategize how to address his/ her concerns (the marketing manager at a residence may have some ideas for overcoming objections.) Honestly express how you feel and the negative impact the daily burden is having on your health and happiness. As you are carrying the bulk of chores, your

spouse may not appreciate how hard it is on you. Explain that your present situation is unsustainable; you want the decision to move to be within the control of both of you now, rather than waiting till the strain results in a crisis. Stress that things will only get harder for you as time goes on. Reach out to family members and your doctor to see if they may have some influence on your behalf. Sometimes a temporary commitment will be easier to get: “Let’s move in for a three month trial before we put the house up for sale.” Or book a vacation in a residence guest suite to introduce the lifestyle to your spouse and eliminate misconceptions. – The Residents

A limited number of tickets are on sale for the upcoming White Rock performance by acclaimed singer/songwriters Holly Arntzen and Kevin Wright, who will present their concert, 40 Million Salmon Can’t Be Wrong, Saturday, Oct. 5 at 8 p.m. at Blue Frog Studios, 1328 Johnson Rd. Weaving together songs, stories, art images and science, the stage show, which will be videoed and recorded for a subsequent DVD-CD release, aims to help people understand how we can bring back our wild salmon to historical levels of abundance. Joining Arntzen and Wright will be renowned storyteller and artist Roy Henry Vickers, ocean ecologist Russ George and the all-star The Wilds Band (drummer Shawn Soucy, bassist Brian Newcombe, keyboardist Bill Sample and guitarist Andreas Schuld). Tickets ($35) are available at http://bluefrogstudios.ca

Festival gala

Going Hollywood Tickets are available now for A Night on Broadway, Christopher Simmons and Debra Da Vaughn’s seventh-annual benefit for the Surrey Food Bank, which is back bigger than ever this year with a special movie-oriented theme. Hence the title of the new show, which comes to Surrey Arts Centre Oct. 5 in two performances (3:30 and 7:30 p.m.): A Night on Broadway Goes Hollywood. The tenor-soprano, husband-wife team have assembled their largest cast yet for this salute to tuneful favourites from hit musicals over the past 60 years of Hollywood history, including soprano Vanessa Coley-Donohue, mezzo-soprano Tamara Croft, well-known musical theatre player Cathy Wilmot and artistic director Matthew Bissett returning from last year, joined by baritone Chris King, pianist Caitlin Hayes and the Lindbjerg Show Choir. All proceeds go to the food bank. Tickets ($27.50 plus service charges, $25 plus service charges for seniors and students) are available from the box office at 604-501-5566.

Fish out of water

Acclaimed singer-songwriters Kevin Wright and Holly Arntzen will present a blend of melody, story and information Oct. 5 in their show 40 Million Salmon Can’t Be Wrong at Blue Frog Studios.

Ryan Mooney, the hard-hitting, large-cast drama runs until Oct. 26, with performances at 8 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, and a 2:30 p.m. matinee on Sunday, Oct. 20. In the celebrated 1952 play, Miller found in the infamous Salem witch trials of the 17th century a perfect metaphor for the political crisis he saw in America during the HUACMcCarthy Communist ‘witch hunt’ period. The Crucible provides a powerful lesson on how a well-meaning society can start down a slippery slope to injustice and persecution. When a group of young girls are accused of witchcraft, the “investigation” rapidly runs out of control, and accusations proliferate with increasingly tragic consequences. Players include J.C. Roy, Rebekah McEwan, Rebecca Strom, Tom Gage, Mike Busswood, Tim Driscoll, Ken Fynn and Jane Mantle. Tickets ($18, $16 for students

seniors and CCS members, $10 for previews Oct. 9 and 10) are available at 604-536-7535 or visit www.whiterockplayers.ca

Concluding the drive will be a songwriters’ circle at The Biltmore (all proceeds to Music Heals), which will include Hol and her full band as well as Ryan Guldemond (Mother Mother), Dominique Fricot, Hilary Grist and Head of the Herd.

Call for artists Semiahmoo Arts is issuing a call for artists for Paint the Town, an event celebrating Canada Culture Days – and raising the profile of local artists – that will come to the streets of White Rock Sept. 28-29. During those two days, passersby will observe artists painting ‘plein air’ in various locations, reflecting the sights and sounds around them. Art works will be judged in a range of categories, with a concluding exhibit Sept. 29. Some pieces may also be selected to appear in the White Rock 2015 calendar. Individual registration fee is $20, but immediate families can register for $25, regardless of size or age. Families will paint in the same location, with each person creating individual paintings. Likewise, school groups who register will pay $5 per person, for both students and teachers. Special locations will be chosen

There’s still a chance to buy tickets for the gala launch event for White Rock’s first full International Artist Day Festival, Friday Oct. 25. at the White Rock Community Centre, 15154 Russell Ave. Only 200 tickets will be available for the gala, hosted by Jane Baldwin. A who’s who of participating master artists will be present, including International Artist Day founder Chris MacClure, Alan Wylie, Raymond Chow, Arnie Fisk, Brent Heighton, Jon Einerssen, Richard Tetrault, Dave Benning, Dan Gray, Gaye Adams, Keith Hiscock, Terry Isaac, Rick McDiarmid, Jef Morlan, Dave Patterson, Vance Theoret and Jose Ventura. Entertainment will be provided by MC Mark Donnelly and award-winning local bassist Jodi Proznick and her trio – and the first 75 people to buy a ticket will also receive admission to a special after-party performance by the trio at White Rock’s Blue Frog Studios. Ticket price ($150) includes a $100 voucher, which can be put toward the purchase of any piece of art featured in the festival.

While atopic eczema was not defined by western physicians until 1933, Chinese medicine has identified the disease since at least 1742 AD, calling it ‘si wan feng’, or ‘wind of the four crooks (flexures)’ - basically, an itchy rash of the elbow and knee creases. Chinese medicine has long held that diseases such as atopic eczema are stemming from internal imbalances and, as such, need therapies that work from the inside out, such as with properly prescribed herbal medicines. In fact, many modern studies prove that Chinese herbal medicine offers a very safe and effective treatment for eczema. By focusing on the body’s imbalances, rather than just suppressing symptoms, many patients find that their itchy rash calms

Jonah Renouf scores twice Sunday – including the overtime winner – to lead Birds to victory

Eagles win both games on Island trip Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Jonah Renouf is only six games into his BC Hockey League career, but already, the 19-year-old Ontario native is proving to have a flair for the dramatic. Sunday in Cowichan Valley, the Surrey Eagles forward scored his second overtime goal in eight days, potting the winning marker in a 3-2 win over the Capitals. The weekend before, Renouf – whose twin brother, Nathan, is also on the Birds’ roster, but has yet to play due to injury – scored the winner in double-overtime against Langley. “Anytime you’ve got a set of twins, and one

of them is hurt, it’s tough because they’re pions – sit first in the Mainland Division so used to playing together, but Jonah’s with a record of four wins and two losses, doing a pretty good job solo right now,” one point up on the Coquitlam Express and said Eagles coach/general manager Langley Rivermen. Peter Schaefer, adding that Nathan, ❝Jonah’s doing Against the Cowichan Valley who is out with a wrist injury, a pretty good job Capitals Sunday evening, Surrey is expected back in the next few out to a 1-0 lead late in solo right now.❞ jumped weeks. the first period when second-year Renouf ’s goal completed a twoBCHLer Braeden Russell – who Peter Schaefer game road sweep for the Eagles, played 25 games last year in VerEagles coach who one day earlier picked up two non – beat Robin Gusse for his points in Port Alberni, after defeating the third goal of the young season.

Victor Adamo stopped 37 shots for Surrey, to nab his third win of the season. Special teams – which Schaefer said earlier in the month were inconsistent but improving – continued to both help and harm the Birds. On the plus side, the team was an impressive 4-for-7 with the man-advantage Saturday against Alberni Valley; but on the other side of the ledger, gave up three power-play goals in the same game. “That game was a bit of a shootout – not a lot of defence – so you just hope to score enough to get the two points,” Schaefer said. “But on our power play and penalty kill, we’re getting better. It’s early in the season still, so guys are still trying to get used to (the system), but I’m happy with how things are going.” Sunday against the Capitals, the Eagles were much better killing penalties – Cowichan was just 1-for-8 – but still gave the Island squad five more power-play advantages than Caps gave them. Surrey also continues to give up plenty of shots on net – Adamo

Senior girls volleyball team edged in quarter-finals

Mariners fifth on UBC court The Earl Marriott Mariners senior girls volleyball team snagged a top-five finish at last weekend’s UBC Mizuno Volleyball Classic. The South Surrey side – which was ranked No. 2 among B.C. quad-A teams heading into the 48-team tournament – saw its run ended Saturday with a quarter-final loss (25-22, 25-18)

to Neelin High School, from Brandon, Man. Neelin went on to win the gold medal over Victoria’s Lambrick Park. As evidenced by their topthree ranking prior to the UBC event – they’ll likely drop a spot or two this week – the Marriott squad is among the province’s best, along with other

contenders from Kelowna, South Kamloops and Elgin Park, among others. EMS is 1-0 in league play, with a win over North Surrey last week. The Mariners took on Abbotsford’s Yale Lions Monday night after Peace Arch News’ press deadline. – Nick Greenizan

Cloverdale’s Brossoit to play close to home A fun fitness challenge

Goalie set to join Abby Heat Cloverdale Minor Hockey alum Laurent Brossoit has been assigned to the Abbotsford Heat by the National Hockey League’s Calgary Flames. Brossoit was among 19 players assigned to their American Hockey League affiliate in the Fraser Valley, and is one of two goalies currently with the Heat. “To have the chance to play in your backyard is a pretty cool feeling,” Brossoit said while playing for the Flames at the Young Stars prospects tournament earlier this month in Penticton. “I can even live at home (Cloverdale), I’m so close.” Brossoit, 20, spent the last three seasons with the Edmonton Oil Kings of the Western Hockey League, winning one championship and losing in the

Gillies released from tryout with Sabres With the start of the National Hockey League regular season less than two weeks away, South Surrey NHLer Colton Gillies is still looking for a team. The Semiahmoo Minor Hockey alum – who briefly played for the Surrey Eagles before embarking on a Western Hockey League career in Saskatoon – was released from a professional tryout with the Buffalo Sabres on the weekend. Gillies, 24, spent last season with the Columbus Blue Jackets but was cut loose by the club at the

beginning of the off-season. He had one goal and one assist in 27 games last season. Gillies, a six-foot-four centre, is a former firstround pick of the Minnesota Wild. He’s far from the only NHL veteran still looking for work – the league’s salary cap for the 2013/14 season dropped significantly from the previous season, which has left many teams without much money to sign veteran players. – Nick Greenizan
