The Olympic torch relay route through the Semiahmoo Peninsula has at long last been revealed – and the party starts early.

Those wishing to catch a glimpse of the flame as it passes through town can start as early as 6:12 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 9, when a yet-to-be-announced torch runner sets off on the first 300-metre leg on 152 Street, just south of Highway 99.

From there, the torch will head south on 152 Street, and is expected to pass Semiahmoo Shopping Cen-tre at 6:36.

Police say intersections will be blocked along the way to clear the relay’s passage.

From the shopping centre, the relay will cross 16 Avenue into White Rock, travelling down John-ston Road before turning east on Roper Avenue. The route then

Breast cancer patient speaks out after delays

‘I am really scared’Tracy HolmesStaff Reporter

Lynda Simpson wasn’t surprised when she was diagnosed with breast cancer last month.

The White Rock woman’s mother died from the disease 13 years ago, after diagnosis at age 42; her aunt on her father’s side has survived three bouts.

But as Simpson heads into surgery today (Friday) to have both of her breasts removed, the 43-year-old probation officer can’t help but wonder the impact of an apparent mistake that resulted in a six-month delay in her diagnosis.

“I’m scared now,” she said. “I am really scared. I’ve got kids, and I want to be around for them. I can’t tell them for certain... I’m OK.”

Last April, a routine mammogram picked up an anomaly in Simpson’s left breast. A follow-up, diagnostic mammogram lead radiologists to recommend an ultrasound – they wanted a clearer picture of the suspected mass. A diagnostic mammogram of her right breast was ordered at the same time.

Simpson was booked to come in for the follow-up tests on Oct. 19, six months down the road.

After jotting the details of the appointment in her daytimer, she all but put it out of her mind.

It was when she went for her appointment that Simpson discovered someone had dropped the ball. The mammogram was conducted as ordered, but when she asked about the ultrasound, the technician told her it wasn’t in the books.

Ginette “Gigi” Clarke was at work when she heard the news.

A 7.0-magnitude earthquake Jan. 12 had struck Haiti – the place she spent the first four years of her life. The place she narrowly escaped death as a toddler suffering from malnutrition. The place her two younger sisters and three older brothers still live.

The 19-year-old drove to her home in White Rock and cancelled plans for the evening. She spent the night on the couch, between her adoptive parents, Lyza and John, watching the news.

While taking in the destruction on TV, she thought of her sisters, 11-year-old Johnda and seven-year-old Dieula, who live in the same orphanage Gigi was once in.

Two days passed before she learned Rainbow of Love Nursery was untouched by the earthquake

– all the children were safe.But there was still no word from

her brothers. John, 26, Emmanuel, 24, and Jonel, 20, still lived in Gigi’s childhood home. The two-room shanty made of cinderblocks was located in Cité Soleil, where hun-dreds of thousands of people live in extreme poverty. The Port-au-Prince slum has been called the worst in the Western Hemisphere.

Doug Jennings, the former Surrey school superintendent who died last Friday after a lengthy illness,

brought a level of professionalism to Surrey that had rarely been seen before.

He became superintendent in early 1981 – a time of great turmoil.

Unemployment was rising and the economy was not doing well. Inflation was running at 12 to 14 per cent a year, and interest rates had been close to 20 per cent.

In the school district, former superintendent Jack Evans had left after a number of lingering issues came to public attention, and caused a significant amount of dissatisfaction.

One of those issues was how best to deal with growth. The district was growing rapidly, due to a housing market that had been booming and a large number of children coming of school age.

Jennings, who had been assistant superintendent in North Vancouver, was immediately faced with a new challenge. Longtime secretary-treasurer Don Christian, who was highly-respected in the community after 24 years in his position, had to retire for health reasons and his vast knowledge of the district would not be available.

Jennings took on all these challenges with dignity, professionalism, good humour and a deep sense of public service. He worked hard to have good relations with the two unions, the Surrey Teachers Association and Canadian Union of Public Employees (even though CUPE members went on strike shortly after he arrived).

He hired a top-notch numbers analyst, Chuck Curteis, who developed leading edge ways to track future student population trends. This information proved extremely valuable as another 20,000 students arrived in Surrey schools in the following years – often at a rate of 2,000 each year.

He worked closely with the trustees on policy matters, and tried to get them to

approach their duties with the same level of professionalism he brought to the district.

Surrey politics had a Wild West mentality in those days, and it appeared at the school board table on many occasions.

Jennings led by example and he always had a ready answer to any question posed to him. He had a top-notch senior management staff as well, and that made his job easier.

I covered school board as a reporter in the days before and after his hiring, and saw his approach firsthand.

I got to know Jennings quite well, and several years later, when I was editor of The Surrey Leader, he asked me to serve on a committee

that was exploring how Surrey could best attract a degree-granting university.

That showed me a new side of Jennings – how thoroughly he prepared for his tasks. Others on the committee included Surrey Mayor Bob Bose and White Rock Mayor Gordon Hogg. Jennings gathered

information for us, using the resources of the district, and he clearly knew his stuff.

The work the committee did, including a meeting we had with Surrey’s five MLAs shortly after the NDP was elected government in 1991, laid some of the groundwork for Kwantlen College (as it then was) becoming Kwantlen University College, and for the formation of the Technical University of B.C., which eventually became SFU’s Surrey campus.

I look back on that committee and Jennings’ instrumental role, and am grateful that this community had such a talented and selfless man in such a key position.

He helped make the Surrey school system one of the finest in the province, and he set an example for many – senior staff, trustees, teachers and students – that lives on today.

His contribution to this community must be acknowledged and remembered.

One letter – from a lawyer – was all that stalled Surrey council’s decision on a South Surrey casino application Monday, officials now say.

While there were other letters in the coun-cil package, the legal letter was the cause for pause, according to Coun. Bob Bose.

“It was the only one that had any bear-ing on the decision of council,” Bose said Wednesday.

Surrey city clerk Jane Sullivan, in answer-ing questions about the deferral, had told Peace Arch News Tuesday that a number of letters had been received the day before, and that council decided it “needs more time to digest everything.”

Surrey council had voted to hold off on

a decision regarding the major project at 8 Avenue and 168 Street after receiving a letter from a lawyer representing Great Canadian Casino at Fraser Downs.

Bob Cheema’s planned $180-million devel-opment includes a major 200-suite hotel, 800-seat convention centre and a casino.

Two weeks after voting 6-3 to send it to public hearing (Mayor Dianne Watts, and Couns. Barbara Steele and Mary Martin opposed), council heard from about half a dozen people regarding the application. Out of the 85 people registering their position, 81 were in favour.

However, a letter from Vancouver law firm Lang Michener sent hours before Monday’s meeting says council is overstepping its

authority.“Based on our understanding of the steps

taken by the city thus far in respect to the Cheema application, we are of the view that the city may have acted beyond its conferred authority and may have breached the duty of procedural fairness it owes our client,” the letter states.

The six-page letter challenges the city regarding its adherence to its Gaming Policy. It also calls Cheema to task about his consul-tation process.

“We understand that Mr. Cheema may have undertaken a public consultation pro-gram, but affected parties, such as Fraser Downs, have neither received notice of his consultation program nor been invited to

make submissions in respect thereof, even though Fraser Downs is the most affected party in this process,” the letter states. “Our client has every intention of challenging the approval of the casino portion of the Cheema application if it proceeds in a man-ner that is unfair to Fraser Downs.”

Cheema had reviewed the lawyer’s letter Wednesday, but declined to comment pub-licly.

The city solicitor told council it was well within its authority to give the project approval.

But councillors say with an abundance of caution, they chose to delay the decision until Monday, Feb. 1.

Imagine there is one dollar on the table. And there are two children with equally important needs.

One is in a class in an inner city school that benefits from a meal program, while the other is learn-ing in a portable classroom that desperately needs a bathroom. You can only give the money to one – it’s not an option to give each of them 50 cents. What do you do?

It’s this type of ethical dilemma – and there are thousands of them – that the Surrey school district faces as it attempts to balance a budget where the dollars needed far out-

weigh the dollars available.During a meeting with Black

Press this week, Supt. Mike McKay, secretary-treasurer Wayne Noye, board of education chair Laurae McNally and communications manager Doug Strachan detailed the financial strain Surrey is under as the district makes plans for the upcoming school year.

It’s anticipated the district will fall about $15 million short this autumn if it hopes to maintain what’s currently offered.

“There will be (cuts),” McKay said. “There has to be.

“It’s not going to look the same. You can’t continue to offer all the

services and programs when you have a $15-million deficit.”

McNally said this is the larg-est shortfall she’s seen in her two decades as an elected trustee.

Exactly how schools may be affected has yet to be determined, but senior administration and trustees make it no secret layoffs and service cuts are a certainty.

“I can tell you with this kind of a deficit, there will be jobs and pro-grams lost,” McNally said.

Vice-chair Shawn Wilson agrees, noting while there may have been some “fat” to trim when budgets were tight in the early 1990s, that simply isn’t the case now.

“When you’re already down to the skin and bones, that’s where it becomes more precarious. At the end of the day, it’s going to affect the classroom.”

McKay said there isn’t an employee group that will not be impacted: “In some cases, it will be attrition or retirement... but when you go deeper than that – and it will – it hurts, because those people have made an investment in the school district.”

Much of the district’s financial problems stem from provincial ini-tiatives and imposed requirements that haven’t been fully funded. Carbon-reduction programs, full-

day kindergarten and Communi-tyLINK all add to the shortfall.

The biggest hurdle for Surrey, however, is that the school district continues to grow at a rapid rate, while the majority of other areas in B.C. have declining enrolment.

While it is illegal for districts to carry a deficit budget, parent and teacher groups have suggested the local district submit a deficit or “needs” budget to the provincial government to prove a point.

McNally urged parents and the public to speak out.

“The government listens far more to parents than they do to elected officials,” she said.

$15 million shortfall projected by school district

‘There will be jobs and programs lost’


Centennial Park will keep its name, but a cairn and plaque are to be erected on its grounds in respect of a former White Rock council’s commitment to Ruth Johnson and Joe Mann more than 50 years ago.

Council’s decision this week brought applause from Roger Currie, who has been lobbying the city in recent months to rename the 14600 North Bluff Rd. property after city pioneers Fred and Ruth Johnson.

Fred Johnson sold 27 acres to Surrey for $27,000 in 1956 on condition it be called Ruth Johnson Park, a name that lasted 10 years. Mann Park – an 8.8-acre property – was donated to Surrey in 1947 in mem-ory of Joe Mann.

For Canada’s centennial year, White Rock council consolidated the two properties in 1966 into one park – Centennial Park – and planned to acknowledge its origins with a cairn or plaque.

However, no physical recognition was ever made.

Now, at a cost of around $5,000, a cairn and plaque will be installed.

The option was just one of three presented by city manager Peggy Clark. Alternatives were to rename the park Ruth Johnson Park and keep the arena’s name as Centen-nial Arena, or keep the park as Cen-

tennial Park and rename another facility, such as Ruth Johnson Arena.

In her report, Clark rec-ommended the plaque and cairn option, as it keeps within the 1966 council’s resolution. Renaming the park was preferred by Cur-rie and the White Rock Museum and Archives Society, she noted, as it

respects the original intent of Fred Johnson. She did not recommend the third option – renaming a dif-ferent facility – as it would not be keeping with history.

In announcing the decision Mon-day, Mayor Catherine Ferguson commended Currie for his efforts.

Currie expressed his gratitude.“Mr. Johnson would appreciate

what you’ve done,” Currie told councillors.

turns south down Fir Street, and then east again on Buena Vista Avenue.

After a quick sidestep down Cen-tre Street and Pacific Avenue, the torch moves past Five Corners back onto Buena Vista, before turning left at Oxford Street and heading for Marine Drive.

The relay then travels east down Marine Drive, reaching Semiahmoo Park at approximately 7:22.

The torch is to then be transported to Peace Arch Park for a celebration with Canadian and U.S. dignitaries at 7:30.

Last October, when announcing the celebration, Premier Gordon Camp-bell and Washington Gov. Chris Gre-goire highlighted the spirit of co-operation across the border.

“We’re inviting the people of Wash-ington State and all of the U.S. to share in these Games, and share in the incredible opportunities in tour-ism, trade and investment that the Olympic Games represent for the entire Pacific Northwest,” the pre-

mier said.From the Douglas Border Crossing,

the torch is to be shuttled to North Delta where it is to begin the next leg of the journey at 8:43.

Peninsula police say they are not anticipating any trouble along the relay route. Aside from a “hiccup” in Victoria, “everywhere along it’s been pretty good,” South Surrey RCMP Staff Sgt. Scott Campbell said.

Campbell said local officers will be on hand at the Peace Arch Park site to provide additional security: “Make sure everybody’s having a good time, but not too good a time,.”

White Rock Const. Janelle Shoihet said extra officers will also be out in the seaside city “just to make sure everything goes smoothly” with both the relay and the Royal Hudson steam train’s arrival and departure. The train is set to roll into White Rock at 4 p.m. Feb. 8 and depart at noon on Feb. 9.

Feb. 12 opening ceremonies will be celebrated locally at White Rock Community Centre.

Debit attackTracy HolmesStaff Reporter

A restaurant debit machine compromised last fall recorded about $25,000 in fraudulent activity before the breach was noticed.

Const. Janelle Shoihet said the tampering was reported to police Jan. 13, after a bank brought the breach to the White Rock business’ attention.

Shoihet would not disclose which restaurant was targeted, stating customers at risk are typically con-tacted through banks and credit card companies.

“The people that have been affected will have been notified,” she said.

Efforts to identify those responsible have been unsuccessful.

The crime happened in the midst of efforts by the detachment’s community policing section to educate business owners about fraud prevention. Volunteers have spent the past three months vis-iting each business – including the one that was compromised, Shoihet said.

The latest incident is a wake-up call for those who think it can’t happen here, she said.

“You think it doesn’t happen in White Rock, but it does.”

Any business interested in learning more may contact the community policing unit at 604-541-5122.

Perhaps it’s because our governor general – a Haitian native – so eloquently expressed the grief felt by people around

the world.Or maybe it’s a long-needed reawakening of

this country’s peacekeeping roots. Either way, Canada’s timely and generous response to the devastating situation in Haiti should fill its citizens with pride.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper pledged assistance and $5 million in immediate emergency aid the same day the 7.0-magnitude earthquake shook the Caribbean nation on Jan. 12. Since then, Canada has shipped tons of supplies to Haiti, including medical necessities. As of this week, the country’s financial commitment sits at $135 million.

Canada’s Disaster Assistance Response Team is already at work, helicopters have been sent and naval frigates are en route. Canadian Forces troops are now on the ground, with more on the way.

Here at home, restrictions on Haitian immigrants have been lifted, Haitians temporarily in Canada can now extend their stays, and the government has promised to fast-track adoptions and immigration applications from Haitians with family in Canada.

The financial support is also pouring in, after Ottawa announced it would match individual donations to registered charities, up to $50 million. The generosity is surely just beginning.

Like the group of stranded teenagers from the Slocan Valley who reluctantly left Haiti on the weekend (after emptying their own pockets to buy rice for hungry villagers), a refusal to turn our backs on such profound suffering is the Canadian way.

Or like the Ray Shepherd Elementary students who aim to raise $4,000 for relief efforts; or Crescent Beach Toys owner Phil Lipton, who has turned his storefront into a silent auction display, with funds raised going to help Heart to Heart Ministries, the same organization that another Crescent Beach resident, Rebecca Honorat, represents in Haiti, where she works in a children’s home.

On Jan. 25, Canadian officials met with Haitian Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive to discuss the long-term rebuilding goals for Haiti, which experts say will take many years. Harper vows Canada is in for the long haul.

With the 2010 Olympics just days away, many of us were getting ready to enjoy seeing Canada shine on the world stage.

Who knew it would be so brightly?

editorial

Trust hockey to put some “oomph” in the run-up to the 2010 Olympics.

Just as pundits across the Lower Mainland are bemoaning the lack of enthusiasm among citizens as the Games draw nigh, and the same week foreign journalists are remarking worriedly about our warm, wet weather and the suitability of Cypress Mountain for the freestyle skiing and snowboard competitions, Team Canada slams our fretfulness into the boards and scores major points for pure, unadulterated sporting joy.

Last week, Hockey Canada brought the national sledge hockey team to Surrey to face off against a Korean team in an exhibition series – preparation for the eight-team tournament that takes place during the 2010 Paralympic Games, March 12-21 in Vancouver-Whistler.

The tournament will be played at UBC, but getting teams out to practise at the venue is difficult, so the Surrey Sports and Leisure Complex in Fleetwood filled in.

Two of the three rinks at the complex can accommodate sledge hockey – a gritty and fast-paced game that allows athletes with physical disabilities to play

ice hockey.The players sit on skate-equipped sleds

and use mini-hockey sticks equipped with sharp picks on one end to propel

themselves across the ice. The gates between the team

benches and ice surface are wider than the traditional hockey rink and are at ice level, allowing the sleds to slide right off the playing surface when the players do their line changes. Plexiglass on the boards allows participants to watch the action while in the bench area.

After posting 4-0 and 8-2 wins against the Koreans on Saturday and Monday, the Canadians kept the pressure on Tuesday, blanking their opponents 9-0.

The final tally? Canada dominated the series, winning by an average score of 7-1.

The upper-body strength alone needed to excel at this sport is staggering, not to mention the character required to overcome a devastating physical handicap and go on to become an elite athlete.

There are Team Canada members with cerebral palsy and spina bifida, and one who was paralyzed in a car accident on his way home from his high school prom. (Check out their inspiring bios, as well as other Paralympians’

backgrounds, at www.paralympic.ca). Most of the men have lost one leg to cancer or injury. Two have lost both.

You’d never know it the way they slap the puck past the goaltender or body-slam their torsos into their opponents. In fact, it’s a little surprising at the end of the game when they hop out of their sleds and into their wheelchairs.

Maybe being able to transcend adversity is why they clearly love the sport. Maybe it’s why we do.

Because almost as impressive as the performance and skill level at Tuesday’s match was the reaction from spectators.

The 350-strong crowd – mostly Surrey elementary school kids who were seeing the sport for the first time – erupted into cheers just minutes into the game. A Black Press reporter and photographer – no strangers to covering sporting events – were bowled over by the intensity, speed and full-on contact. (In sledge hockey, there’s actually a penalty called “T-boning.” Use your imagination).

It would be well worth trying to snag a seat at the 2010 Paralympics tournament at UBC.

Canada won gold at the 2006 Paralympics in Torino, Italy, and the team is ranked third going into this year’s competition after winning a bronze medal at the world championships.

Watching these determined guys give it their all on the ice has the pleasant effect of chasing any Olympics-related analyses, grumblings, nay-saying and nitpicking from one’s mind.

Go Canada Go!It becomes just as simple as that. Paula Carlson is editor of the Surrey-

North Delta Leader.

lettersPeace Arch News

Goodness prevailsEditor: Re: Compassion appreciated, Jan. 22 letters.

I was happy to see Diane Hutchison’s letter in the Peace Arch News on Friday, as I have been wondering how she is doing.

I happened to be there that dark night after she had fallen on Crescent Road. As I debated whether to stop, the headlines of earlier stories flashed through my mind – “No one stopped to help.”

So, I pulled over to see if I could be of assistance.

By the time I happened by, there were several people on the scene.

John assured me that he was OK with the dogs, another fellow was talking to the 911 dispatcher on his cellphone and a lady ran over identifying herself as a nurse.

There really was nothing I could do, so I left.

As I drove into my driveway, I could hear the ambulance sirens coming down the hill.

My 79-year-old mother often peppers her conversations with, “It’s a crazy world.” And I frequently find myself lamenting that “it didn’t used to be this way.”

But after seeing all the people who stepped up to help this struggling senior that night, I was reminded that there are still lots of compassionate people in this world.

Hearing stories like this warms the heart and helps us believe that good will prevail.

I’m glad you are doing well, Diane, and that you took the time to remind us that there are many angels in this world.Linda Mehus-Barber, Surrey

Don’t follow their exampleEditor:

I need to vent! Sunday morning, I drove my daughter to work.

Heading south on 128 Street at 22 Avenue, I heard a siren. I immediately pulled over as far as I could and left my turn signal on.

My daughter asked why I pulled over when the fire truck was still blocks behind. She is just learning to drive, so I explained that by pulling over immediately, I have signalled to the driver of the emergency vehicle that I am aware he is coming and he can now concentrate on the road beyond me.

Yes, we could pull over when he was right behind us, but that would mean he would have to concentrate on me rather than the road ahead.

Once the fire truck passed me, he had to lay on his horn for a white van and the 51 bus, as both continued even though he was within a few car lengths of them.

If I heard the siren and heeded immediately, so could they.

Take a minute and pull over and stop. And before you pull back out make sure there is not another emergency vehicle following. The

emergency drivers have bigger things to worry about than you.

The recent horrible accident on the Alex Fraser Bridge prompted another discussion with my daughter about driving habits.

I told her that if her car ever stalls, she should put on her flashers and, as quickly as possible, get out of the car. She, like others, thought she should stay with the car.

I advised her that if on a highway, get out the passenger side and distance yourself from the car, if necessary crossing the ditch and waiting on the other side; if on the bridge, climb over the abutment and walk some distance facing the traffic motioning to oncoming drivers to change lanes.

Do not sit in your car to call for help, as you will need more than a tow truck if you sit there.

Last winter, when we had so much ice, two days in a row we came across stopped cars just east of the Highway 99 overpass on 24 Avenue. In the first, a man sat in the driver’s seat, door open, legs hanging out, talking on the phone while drivers slid around him trying to avoid a collision. The next day, we came over the hump and there was a woman right in front of us in the middle of the lane. She leaned against her car, just standing there.

You can’t protect your car – get far away from it.

Don’t even get me started on roundabout courtesy and our school parking lot drivers, as this page isn’t long enough.

Thanks. I feel better already.Susan Beechinor-Carter, Surrey

Readers weigh in on MP’s jobEditor: Re: Office shields MP from us, Jan. 20 letters.

Letter-writer, Ross Buchanan says it is his experience that MP Russ Hiebert is inaccessible to the people he is supposed to represent.

He recounts that he phoned Hiebert’s office for help and was told Hiebert is a busy man and not available to speak with constituents.

I am not doubting the integrity of the writer, but his comments suggest there is another side to this story. No MP can solve all problems of all people.

I agree with the writer that your MP is your representative, and if he/she is not available, the problem should be stated and, providing the MP can assist, he/she should attend to the complaint when available.

However, this letter is far from consistent with my experience in receiving assistance from this MP. My experience related to a problem I had with a federal government department, that forwarded the problem to another department that had no involvement in the matter.

After two years without action, I contacted Hiebert’s office. He took on the problem. The dispute was resolved with positive results.

Another experience involved

a Canadian citizen living in Washington State. Revenue Canada commenced to deduct large amounts from his pension cheque for back interest, that he could not afford to pay. He had no MP, and after writing to several departments in Ottawa, he still received no help.

This gentleman, in desperation, contacted Hiebert’s office for assistance. It took six months and much involvement in government bureaucracy to enable Hiebert to settle this matter in a manner that was favourable to this individual.

This veteran was very grateful to this MP for providing assistance and compassion that was above and

beyond being accessible. These experiences would indicate Hiebert’s office does not, in fact, shield him from us.Charles Parrott, Surrey

So now we know why our MP does not answer letters.

They are screened by an individual who decides what he should see.

Russ Hiebert has all the time to write flyers telling us how tough his government is getting on criminals, but when asked if white-collar criminals robbing his constituents at the gasoline pump through price fixing – in flagrant violation of Canadian laws – are included, the answer is total silence.

Since Peace Arch News published my letter on this topic in June 2009, it could not be censored or screened by his office. I can only assume he does not care and does not have the decency to reply to correspondence.

I would have thought a prime minister of this country approves only individuals for election as MPs who have respect for fellow citizens.Wolfgang Schmitz, White Rock

Re: MP’s doors shut in advance of protest, Dec. 18.

In order for our local MP, Russ Hiebert, to feel safe and secure in his riding and office, I have been trying to locate the used bullet-proof Pope Mobile used during the previous pope’s visit to B.C.

If anyone has information on whether this vehicle is still around and for sale, I would like to offer it to Hiebert so he may enter the public arena and feel safe from all of his potentially violent constituents.Phil Le Good, White Rock

Re: Coffee with Russ Hiebert, PAN community datebook.

Instead of being at work, like the majority of Canadians, our MP is offering to meet us for a coffee – and at 6 p.m. no less, when most ordinary folk are at home preparing dinner and looking after families.

This man has no sense of his community, as evidenced by his recent hiding act during peaceful attempts to meet by constituents.

The federal Conservatives seem to have a policy of “don’t talk about anything controversial,” hence our MP’s current three-month holiday.

Since Hiebert often has no time to talk to the public, perhaps the most telling way we could express our displeasure would be for no one to show up to have coffee with him.Forest McCready, Surrey

were supposed to have that ultrasound immediately,’” Simpson said.

Though things moved quickly from there – an ultrasound was done Nov. 9; cancer was confirmed Dec. 1; and a 2.4-centimetre tumour was removed from Simpson’s left breast on Dec. 15 – Simpson wants to know how she slipped through the cracks early on, especially given the well-documented connection between early detection and survival.

She said her surgeon, Dr. John Todd, told her the six-month delay gave her tumour time to as much as triple in size.

Simpson believes mounting pressure on health-care providers to do more with less is at least partly to blame for the mixup. She is sure it also played a role in other testing delays and near-missed appointments she has logged in recent weeks.

In one case, a call to enquire about the status of a to-be-scheduled pre-operative CT scan resulted in her learning that her appointment was that very day – and that a message with the date and time had been left with her husband.

Simpson is a single mother.“The medical system has

continued to drop the ball, right down from testing, to the hospital getting proper blood work reports... to phoning and leaving messages with a husband I don’t have.

“It keeps going on. Constantly having to phone and make sure they’re doing their job... that’s the last thing I need to worry about right now.”

Reached Wednesday, Todd would not comment on Simpson’s case specifically.

He did agree that funding cuts are negatively impacting the system.

“We’re getting our resources cut back very, very significantly because of cutbacks in funding. If things are getting delayed, it would be because of that,” Todd said.

He noted he had to tell two cancer patients last Friday that their surgeries couldn’t be done until the third week of March because of operating-room closures. He gave similar news to two more patients on Tuesday.

“Our cancer patients that should be operated on in a very few weeks, some of mine are now waiting eight weeks... from the time they have a diagnosis. That’s unacceptable,” Todd said.

Things that are missed, however, cannot be blamed on a budget, Todd said.

“It’s just there are greater pressures on the system to perhaps say, that should be fine, maybe.”

Regarding patients with whom preliminary testing raises suspicion, Todd said in general, further investigation “should be done within a few weeks,” regardless of family history.

“If you find something that you’re going to want to

investigate, you’re going to want to work it up within a month,” he said.

Impact of a delay would depend on a tumour’s “doubling time,” he said.

Fraser Health’s Joan Marshall also wouldn’t comment on Simpson’s case, citing privacy laws.

She did say it is not typical procedure to conduct mammograms and ultrasounds on the same day.

Any tests that are flagged as urgent by the requisitioning physician are treated as such,

she added.“If it was requested as urgent,

I expect it would have gone through. If it wasn’t, there is sometimes a wait. I can assure you if things are marked urgent, they are performed urgently.”

Simpson expects to learn after today’s surgery if her cancer has spread.

She doesn’t know how big her tumour was when the anomaly was first spotted last April.

She does feel that the system failed her.

“The fact I went six months without that testing is pretty significant,” Simpson said.

“I guess we’ll find out how significant.”

Just in case, she signed over power of attorney to her brother last week.

Emphasizing she is not on a “witch hunt,” Simpson refused to disclose the name of the doctor who ordered her tests last April.

For now, she is simply encouraging those who can to be diligent with their own test results, and not wait for a call that may never come.

She is worried about those who can’t take as assertive a role.

“I can follow up on things, I can question doctors. What about all these poor people out here that can’t?

“My main concern is that the community is aware. They need to question. If they don’t hear back... call in every single case.

“You don’t know if they’ve forgotten about you. It happened to me.”

Marshall echoed Simpson’s call for patients to be vigilant with tests and test results.

“We would urge all patients to be vigilant about ensuring all tests recommended by health professionals are ordered and performed. I think, her message, it’s a good one to get out.”

perspectives…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

her brothers would contact her. She waited for the phone to ring. It didn’t for nine days.

• • •Lyza Clarke was in a Haitian hospital when

she saw the child.Lying in a cot, the two-year-old wore a wet

dress over her swollen belly and protruding ribs. When a nurse sat her up, she stared at Lyza with wide eyes set in a sunken face. Gigi looked like an old woman.

When Gigi asked someone to fix her hair, tears streamed down Lyza’s face – the tod-dler’s hair had turned yellow and fallen out, save for a small tuft on the top of her head. The nurse braided it.

When Gigi held out a deflated balloon, the nurse rinsed it off, blew it up and handed it back. She smiled and said “merci.”

It was a moment that changed Lyza’s life.“That little girl was on the verge of dying

and she still did that,” Lyza told Peace Arch News this week. “It was like an epiphany. I had an experience I have never had before. All of a sudden I was aware that this one per-son, this one child, I can do something for.”

Upon returning to Canada with her church group, Lyza helped fund medical care for Gigi. The girl was transferred to a pri-vate hospital and underwent surgery for an infected abscess in her abdomen.

Lyza was sent updates, and saw from pic-tures that Gigi’s hair started to grow back.

“I thought, I can’t believe it’s the same kid.”

About a year after Lyza’s 1992 trip to Haiti, she learned that Gigi’s mother – who had tuberculosis and was struggling to support her other children – had put her daughter up for adoption.

“I actually felt like I was pregnant – instantly,” Lyza said, noting she discussed adoption with John, who said he needed time to think about it. The couple already had three children, the youngest age 16.

“He came home that night and his first words to me were, ‘Go get her,’” Lyza said.

Five months later, Gigi was on a plane out of Haiti. She wouldn’t return for 14 years.

• • •After graduating from Semiahmoo Sec-

ondary in 2008, Gigi yearned to find her family. She found a church group planning a summer trip to Haiti and joined them.

“It was just something I knew I wanted to do,” she said. “I wanted to rediscover Haiti and I wanted to blend in. I wanted to be there, get a feel for the place.”

The only lead she had was a photo album

with a picture the orphanage director had sent her 10 years before of her mother, aunt, cousins, brothers and grandparents.

While staying in a guest house, she met an aid worker who offered to take her into Cité Soleil – a dangerous area to travel in alone. They rode by motorbike.

A man in his 60s was just one of the residents to greet them when they arrived. When shown the picture of Gigi’s family, he looked down, then up at Gigi.

“I know exactly who you are,” he told her. He had been friends with Gigi’s grandfather, and had held her as a baby.

“I can take you to your family’s house.”The small structure was made of cement.

Gigi remembers it being dirty and smelly. There was no electricity or plumbing.

“I was outside the door,” she recalled. “I was just like, ‘Wow, I’m here.’ I wasn’t ner-vous or scared.”

When she entered the house, she saw a

woman sitting on the floor and a man stand-ing off to the side. Gigi’s aunt and cousin knew right away who she was, and greeted her with kisses on the cheek.

Her brothers were in the street and came in when they heard the commotion.

Through a translator, Gigi asked about their life. They said her mother had died years before of tuberculosis, and introduced her to two sisters she didn’t know she had.

When her mother’s friends heard of her arrival, they came over and kissed her, some celebrating with song and dance.

Her oldest brother, John – who had been nine when she left – was the only one not smiling. When Gigi asked what was wrong, he hid his face. He went into the house and she followed, putting her arms around him.

“I never thought this day would come,” he said in English. “I never thought I’d see you again. I remember you. My little sister.”

During her month-long stay, Gigi visited

her family a couple times a week and learned of their lifestyle. They didn’t eat every day, and slept on two shared beds or the floor. Despite being poor, they dressed in their finest clothes and cooked meals when she

visited. “One of the

best things is to see people who look like you. It was a crazy feel-ing to be like ‘you are a part of me.’ They loved me right away and I fell in love with them right away.”

She was told how their mother always talked about Gigi, and had kept one of her toys.

“(She) would start to cry when she played with it because it reminded her of me. She gave it away to another little girl a couple days before she died.”

Before leaving, Gigi took her younger sis-ters to Rainbow of Love Nursery, where many workers recognized and greeted her.

They agreed to take in Johnda and Dieula, who arrived with just one change of clothes and a pair of shoes.

Gigi visited them, as well as her brothers, during a second trip in January 2009 and has kept in touch via cellphone, talking to John every couple of weeks.

When the earthquake hit, however, that communication was cut off.

• • •The news coming out of Haiti was getting

worse and worse. The death toll was climb-ing and Gigi learned the guest house she had stayed in during her visits was demolished, killing two Canadians. She still hadn’t heard from her brothers.

Then, nine days after the earthquake, Gigi’s phone rang. It was John.

The call lasted a minute before it cut out – just enough time for him to say everyone was OK, that the house was “broken.”

This week, he was able to call again, telling Gigi they were living on the street, and that one brother’s girlfriend had died.

Gigi is anxious to get to them, and will be flying out tomorrow (Saturday).

Even before she heard from John, Gigi knew she had to go to Haiti.

“It’s kind of like an instant reaction,” she said. “I know every other Haitian who’s not in Haiti is in the same boat as me.”

Gigi is travelling with the same church group from her first trip, and will hand out supplies she is bringing in a backpack.

She told her brothers she will be staying in a tent in the area of the orphanage.

This time, she is counting on them find-ing her.

The sound system was hid-den in a shopping cart, and 170 people who made a special trip to Metrotown last weekend pre-tended to be regular shoppers.

That was until the clock struck 1:53 p.m. – the same time a 7.0-magnitude earthquake hit Haiti two weeks ago – and the group broke out in dance.

The flash mob – started by a Peace Portal Alliance Church youth group – performed a rou-tine to a mix of eight songs, including numbers by Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga and The Beatles.

A professional dancer volun-teered to teach the choreographed

sequence to group members, who have been preparing for a couple weeks.

“A lot of people don’t know how to dance,” youth pastor Geoff Stewart said. “We posted the video of our practices on YouTube under a code name so people (could) practise at home.”

Participants ranged in age from seven to over 50, and were made up of youth group members – Grade 7s to 12s – and their friends and families.

Stewart said once the group started dancing in the mall’s main court, a crowd of more than 500 people gathered to watch.

“They were cheering like crazy.”

Footage of the event will be

posted on YouTube, and Stew-art plans to invite companies to make a pledge for every hit the video receives. Donations will benefit efforts in Haiti.

“Our sights are set pretty high as to what this can do.”

Stewart said flash mobs are an effective way to get people’s attention, especially when fund-raising.

“They’re very culturally rel-evant and popular. They bring joy to people who watch them. They’re kind of a ray of hope at times. They’re fun.”

More then thirty percent of people’s lives should be spent sleeping in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle. The body can survive without eating or drinking for seven days, but cannot function properly if one has not slept in over three days.With a lack of sleep, the body becomes more susceptible to diseases such as; Insomnia, Depression, Alzheimer’s,etc, and can also result in

high blood pressure.Insomnia is becoming more common in today’s busy society largely due to stress and people not being able to cope with overwhelming demands in their lives. Without a proper night’s sleep on a regular basis , one risks an increase in anxiety, stress, memory loss, and a greater risk of catching harmful illnesses.Chronic pain syndrome, acid refl ex disease, nocturnal asthma, chronic fatigue syndrome, can all correspond to the effects from Insomnia.Chinese traditional medicine doctors believe that people with Insomnia are at risk of getting heart, kidney, lung, liver and stomach diseases, and should be treated as soon as possible to prevent further

damage. Sleep is the key to our body’s survival. With a proper sleep it allows the body to fi ght illnesses, recover memories, and get work done effi ciently.Chinese acupuncture, and certain Chinese herbs, help prevent Insomnia from occurring by soothing the mind and taking the body into relaxation. Chinese Acupuncture has proven effects on the fi ght against Insomnia and other related illnesses.If you are experiencing fatigue or Insomnia related symptoms, call Katarina your Chinese Acupuncture specialist.

With slightly more than a week to go before the

Olympic Torch Relay makes its way onto the Peninsula, torchbearers and residents alike are feeling the excitement grow.

Earlier this week, the route of the White Rock/South Surrey leg of the Torch Relay Feb. 9 was announced, and it will be an early morning for Peninsula residents hoping to catch a glimpse of the fl ame and cheer on local torchbearers.

The morning will begin at 6:12 a.m., at 152 Street and Highway 99 where the fi rst torchbearer of the day will start the relay. From there, the route takes the torch south down 152 Street, and will pass Semiahmoo Shopping Centre at approximately 6:36 a.m.

After that, the torch will cross 16 Avenue and head into White Rock down Johnston Road where it will then head east on Roper Avenue.

It will proceed south down Fir Street, then east again on Buena Vista Avenue before making a quick trip down Centre Street and Pacifi c Avenue. The torch will make its way back onto Buena Vista before turning left on Oxford Street and heading for Marine Drive.

The route follows Marine Drive East towards Semiahmoo Park, where it will arrive at approximately 7:22 a.m.

It will then make its way to Peace Arch Park, where Canadian and U.S. dignitaries will be on hand, at approximately 7:30 a.m.

After its appearance on the Peninsula, the relay will continue in North Delta.

Though the offi cial list of torchbearers has not been released, several lucky Peninsula residents have come forward over the past few months as they gear up for their big day.

A Grade 9 student at Elgin Park, Nick Rutckyj said last month he was “ecstatic” to be among the select few who would bear the torch as it makes its way through White Rock.

He’ll be joined by Earl Marriott students

Ian McMaster and Eric Stevenson, distance runner Ferg Hawke, swimming instructor Carole Gair and 89-year-old Alfred Bennett, a British Army Veteran and former policeman in both London and New Zealand.

Peninsula resident and Wal-Mart employee Cheryl Cruickshank will carry the torch in Vancouver on Feb. 12 – the last day of the relay – an honour she was selected for after entering an essay contest sponsored

by the chain. While the torch’s appearance on the Peninsula will last just over an hour,

the celebration festivities will just be

getting started. From 7:30 to 10:30 a.m.

on the morning of the relay, White Rock’s Spirit of BC committee and the White Rock fi re department will host a pancake breakfast at the White Rock Community Centre, 15154 Russell Ave.

The delicious breakfast will be by donation, with proceeds benefi tting the fi refi ghters’ charity, and there will be entertainment on-hand throughout the morning.

The Peninsula Olympic celebrations will wrap up Feb. 12 with a community party at the White Rock Community Centre coinciding with the Games’ opening ceremonies.

Hosted by the White Rock Business Improvement Association, the festivities take place from 6 to 9 p.m., and include three rooms of activities and family entertainment, as well as a 40-foot outdoor screen that will be broadcasting the opening ceremonies live from Vancouver.

There will be a number of activities taking place in Surrey leading up to the start of the Games, plus a celebration site at Holland Park featuring numerous performances.

The torch will be visiting Surrey Feb. 8, when it will arrive at Cloverdale’s Surrey Museum Plaza at 2:40 p.m. It will then stop by Surrey City Hall at 3:30 p.m. and will reach the Holland Park celebration site at 6:30 p.m.

Some of the more notable Surrey torchbearers announced earlier this week include Surrey native and Toronto Blue Jay Adam

Loewen, 2004 Olympic swimmer Brittany Reimer, RCMP Chief Superintendent Fraser MacRae, BC Community Achievement Award-winner Monty Raisinghani and Global

Small steps to reach your goalsLose weight.

Reduce stress. Drink less. Be

less grumpy. Improve education.

Be one of the 12 per cent who actually live up to their New Year’s resolutions.

Lofty goals abounded when we woke after celebrating the end of 2009. Where do you stand now? Hopelessly lost, and building up for a more practical list in 2011?

It is not too late. And since when do we make promises to ourselves only on Jan. 1?

World peace, ending hunger, bringing water to the deserts are terrific ideals, but these are things that we cannot physically do all by ourselves. We can help these global causes with donations that fit our budget.

But let’s not forget we live in a community that has its own needs and wants. We have an active food bank

that needs supplies in months other than those that start with a D.

We have a need for volunteers at children’s sports programs, Semiahmoo House, Hospice, the community policing station, at church lunch or dinner programs and at the hospital, to name a few.

And at all times, we need citizens who care about

their community, and who are always on the lookout for little ways to make life better.

Amazingly, we discover that 88 per cent of us fail to meet the lofty standards set by our New Year’s resolutions.

Did you ever see the bumper sticker: “If I fail to live up to your expectations, kindly lower your expectations?”

Maybe it is all about doing what we can. But maybe, too, the secret is to talk it over with friends. Commit

to a plan and have a monitor. That applies to the resolution to lose weight, but it is also the key to accomplishing the loftier goals.

We have a friend in New Zealand who gathered his buddies and created a weekly walking group. Not all show up at each walk, but each of the laggards is called to ensure they are OK, and that they will be at the next walk.

Everyone needs to have a goal or a challenge.

Life can send us curves. Tom and I had a few in 2009, and good riddance to those events, but the year had its rewards as well. The birth of a grandchild can quickly put things into perspective.

Life goes on, so let’s make it a little bit better each day.

Our Peace Arch Hospital Auxiliary makes a difference. I didn’t need a New Year’s resolution to join, and I have found inspiration in seeing the many improvements at our hospital as a result of group efforts.

So... over to you. It is your turn to make a resolution. What will make a difference in your life and the lives of those around you?

Marylou Kirstein is president of Peace Arch Hospital Auxiliary Society. She writes monthly for the Peace Arch News.

news

Tracy HolmesStaff Reporter

Reports of shots fired led police to some fowl play earlier this month.

Officers raced to the 16500-block of 40 Avenue on two occasions – first around 4 p.m. on Jan. 15 and again at 2:30 p.m. on Jan. 17. Both times, they heard shots. But they also heard duck calls, said Const. Kenn Meglic.

“Apparently, there’s an ongoing problem with persons shooting guns in the field south of that particular intersection,” Meglic said.

The second call-out lead police to

an area resident who advised officers he had given permission for the hunt-ers to be on the property.

The hunters left before police could speak with them.

Surrey conservation officer Jack Trudgian said the activity is allowed – provided the hunters have their ducks in a row. They must be licenced, have the property owner’s permission and not be within 100 metres of the house. As well, it can only be done during open season. For ducks, the season closed Jan. 22; the next opportunity to hunt geese begins Feb. 10.

Little fish has big impactWho would

have thought that a small,

insignificant and rare fish could have a significant impact on environmental law in Canada?

It was abundant as late as 1970, but agricultural drainage, gravel extraction, urban sprawl and water withdrawal have so altered its environment that survival of this minnow-like fish is questionable.

The nooksack dace (Rhinichthys umatilla) is now found in only four catchments in the Lower Mainland, and a few in Washington State.

In B.C. it is listed as an endangered species at risk of extirpation. This danger brings it under the terms of Canada’s Species at Risk Act of 2002 (SARA) and requires the relevant ministry to prepare a recovery strategy.

Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) decided for reasons of its own to remove critical habitat criteria from all recovery plans in the Pacific region.

This decision and discussion on the fate of the nooksack dace led to a court challenge by a group of environmental organizations.

The outcome was a judicial decision that DFO had erred and that critical habitat description should be a significant element in any recovery plan.

Most far-reaching in the court’s ruling was that critical habitat included not only geographic location, as DFO contended in its defence, but that

habitat attributes were equally relevant.

In other words, those habitat factors which enable a species to live and thrive in any specified environment must be taken into consideration when recovery plans are being developed.

It remains to be seen how widely that decision will

be applied. Besides the nooksack

dace, another pressing issue where it could be implemented is the fate of North America’s mountain caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou), now found only in the Selkirk Mountains.

They are threatened by a shrinking habitat and a compromised environment. Five years ago, there were an estimated 2,500 animals; now the population is down to only 1,900 in 12 herds.

Another animal in even greater danger

of extinction is the Vancouver Island marmot (Marmota vancouverensis). Twenty-five years ago there were more than 300 of them; today there are fewer than 100, and only about 25 of these are in the wild. The court’s ruling could determine whether these and other endangered species will be able to survive.

Field DayFriends of the A

Rocha Field Centre, and anyone wanting to learn about it, should mark Saturday, Feb. 13 in their diaries.

There will be a Field Day then starting at 10 a.m. for work on a range of projects, a tour of the centre and lunch for all volunteers.

Call 604-541-9006 for reservations or details.

Jumping to conclusion

On the weekend, an Environment Canada

scientist was quoted as saying; “Missing observations in an area where the climate is expected to respond more quickly to exter-nal influences, such as

the Arctic, may how-ever result in an under-estimate of the amount of climatic change.”

This statement suggests the scientist in question has made up his mind what is likely to happen but, since there are no data, he’s jumping to a conclusion which suits him. In the absence of more observations, he could just as well offered the alternative opinion that there could equally well be an overestimate of change.

All he ought to have said is that there are insufficient data for us to make a useful forecast.

arts & entertainment…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Alex BrowneArts Reporter

It’s all about telling the truth in song.There’s an underlying note of sincerity to Phil

Dickson’s music that communicates itself to audiences, whether as frontman-vocalist for South Surrey-based rock band Oddchild or in his increasingly popular role as self-accom-panied singer-songwriter featured in frequent acoustic gigs at Johnston Road’s Small Ritual Coffee Society.

It’s even winning the Earl Marriott grad fans as far afield as Toronto and New Zealand, thanks to upbeat original songs like ‘Dreamer’ and savvy use of the live streaming capabilities of the Internet.

An open letter to audiences that Dickson penned for a recent showcase pinpoints his appeal succinctly – he’s ready, he says, “to help provide the value of a smile and a breath of fresh air through my guitar and voice... either as a solo act or with my band I hope to enlighten, encourage, influence and shed some light on someone’s dark situation of their day.”

Little surprise, then, to learn he’s lending his talents to a fundraiser at Sawbuck’s Neighbor-hood Pub this Saturday (Jan. 30, 7 p.m. 1626 152 St.) to benefit a medical mission to Africa.

The event will help fund travel and sup-plies for the South and West Africa Mission (SWAM) project of Peace Arch Hospital’s Dr. Lourens Perold, which will take Perold and

fellow volunteers Dr. Jennifer Montgomery, and registered nurses Christine Patrie, Anne Elmore, Kathie Edwards and Janet McNally to Paynesville, near Monrovia, Liberia, for seven days to work among children and families in great need of medical assistance.

And although tickets for the dinner portion of the evening are already sold out, those who want to catch Dickson’s act are welcome – and they’re also free to participate in the silent auc-tion, 50-50 draw, or simply make a donation.

Paula Marfleet has been very heavily involved in fundraising for the SWAM event from the beginning, and was the one who suggested the artist as an ideal entertainer for the evening.

Mix history and young actors educating both themselves and other young people and you have the basis of the

appeal of The Orphan Train, latest production of the Young People’s Theatre Company of Surrey (SYTCO).

Based on the real-life programs that relocated thousands of orphans from the populous East Coast to the farms and small communities of the American Midwest from the mid 1800s to the late 1920s, the touching slice-of-life drama focuses on nine orphans bound for unknown homes on a train leaving New York City in May of 1914.

It’s being presented Friday, Feb. 5, in a special schools show at Star of the Sea Hall, followed that evening by a performance at First United Church, White Rock, as a Haiti relief benefit (7 p.m., $10, proceeds to Unicef and Oxfam, information 604-538-9793); and again on Saturday, Feb. 6 at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. at Surrey Arts Centre’s studio theatre (tickets 604-501-5566, www.arts.surrey.ca).

As SYTCO founder and artistic director Susan Pendleton points out, The Orphan Train is an often heartbreaking story, with plenty of counterparts in Canadian history in an era when orphans and destitute infants were routinely relocated thousands of miles away.

“In that time children weren’t allowed to be children in the way they are now – they were often thought of as miniature adults. The idea of them being allowed to be children – in the way they are now – only started in the early 20th century.”

The original well-meaning notion of the

orphan train was to give homes and a new chance in life to thousands of children who were living on the streets in eastern cities. The families who adopted the orphans were supposed to feed and clothe them, give them an education and take them to regular church services.

In reality, while some of the children did find wonderful homes and families, others were seized on as virtual slave-labour and had to endure harsh and miserable conditions until they were 18 and free to leave.

Also adding to the heartbreak and anguish of the situation, Pendleton said, was the fact that, after being paraded for potential adoptive families, children who had not been chosen had

to reboard the train and travel on to the next town, and the towns after that, going through the process again and again until adopted. Siblings were often unceremoniously separated, she said – some never to see each other again.

The play, found by Pendleton after her usual extensive research, was also the result of extensive research by late playwright Aurand Harris, who knitted

together monologues based on the recollections of seniors who had been real orphan train children.

“He was a drama educator at Northwestern University in Chicago, and one of the best playwrights for young people,” said Pendleton.

“And I discovered the New York premiere of the play was presented at my alma mater, New York University, by my two graduate professors in educational theatre, Nancy and Lowell Swartzell.”

Her frequent viewings of a PBS documentary on the subject have only confirmed how good a job Harris did in recapturing the atmosphere of the real-life story for the stage.

Emerging artist hopes to provide ‘breath of fresh air’

“His sister is married to my nephew,” she explained. “I said, ‘what about Phil?’ I thought we should get him before he’s discovered and costs us a gazillion dollars per night.”

For his part, Dickson said he was happy to volunteer his services.

“I always love doing things for causes like this,” he said. “I think it makes a difference in the world.”

His solo act has been a recent and unexpected development in his musical career, he admits.

“It happened a lot quicker than Oddchild did – but, then, it’s a lot harder to make a success with a band,” he said.

Oddchild is still very much alive and kicking, he noted.

“Brad Trivett, who is a key member of Oddchild, has been having some health issues,” he explained.

“As soon as Brad is on his feet again, we’ll be going full speed.”

In the downtime from working with Oddchild, Dickson had started to experiment with working as a single, and was soon being approached to perform as a solo at friends’ weddings; finding in classics like Ben E. King’s Stand By Me the beginnings of his own Dave Matthews-Jason Mraz-John Mayer-inspired acoustic sound.

What began as a tryout at Small Ritual Coffee soon worked into a once-a-month gig, he said.

“It’s taken off from there and been quickly growing – I’ve done a couple of gigs at the Washington Avenue Grill and at the Elks Hall as well.”

His covers include artists from Matthews to The Beatles, Dickson said. And he is developing a growing repertoire of originals, sometimes dusting off lyric ideas he wrote years ago.

“I often find the lyrics will work well with some tune I’m working on now,” adding that he finds songwriting challenging.

“I’m a perfectionist. I’ll write a song and sit on it for three months, letting it hum in my head.”

The creation of an arts centre in White Rock was the most popular concept that arose at A Conversation on the Arts, held last November to pin-point ways to grow and sustain the local arts community.

The finding was presented to city council this week by Steven Hughes of White Rock’s cultural committee, which hosted the day-long forum.

“In order to create a cohe-sive arts community in White Rock, more space needs to become available,” he said.

Hughes noted there are no

dedicated arts facilities in the city, and while forum partici-pants wanted to see one multi-purpose art space, the idea of multiple arts spaces was not dismissed.

With 80 people involved in the visual and performing arts taking part in the event, Hughes said participants were “enthusiastic” and wanted the forum to continue.

“People did not want this dia-logue to stop.”

The main theme was central-izing or unifying the arts com-munity through collaborating across age groups, artistic dis-ciplines and social sectors.

Input was compiled into a report, which recommends council create a dedicated arts centre and central registry for artists; work with counterparts in Surrey; establish a central-ized location to advertise arts events; create outdoor per-formance spaces and multi-disciplinary events; and find opportunities for arts and business, such as a centralized ticket sales outlet.

It also encouraged council to follow arts-supported initia-tives such as busking, develop-ing the city’s public art col-lection, dedicating a specified dollar amount to the arts each

year and hosting quarterly forums on the arts.

Creation of a “cultural action” team – made up of community arts reps and members of the city’s cultural committee – was suggested.

Hughes said engaging youth in the arts community was another issue raised.

“Youth in the community are not being represented propor-tionately in the community.”

Council referred the report’s comments to city staff, who will report back at a future date.

The report is posted online at www.city.whiterock.bc.ca

“It’s excellent writing but it’s also true – boy, did he do his research.”

The play raises issues that are still current, Pendleton said – noting that this was her inspiration for organizing the Haiti relief benefit.

“The tragedy in Haiti raises the same questions,” she said.

“What do we do with the orphans? Put them on a boat and sail them halfway around the world?”

It also – as a piece based on monologues – gives more of an acting workout for each of her young players than the usual, less meaty script would.

And while it isn’t mired in sensationalism or inappropriateness, it

doesn’t shy away from social issues that are just as real in 2010 as they were in 1914.

And the performers are learning just as much through the rehearsal process as their potential audiences, Pendleton said.

“The children have been writing journals on their characters since September – either what it was like to be on the train, or to be the characters in their 80s or 90s and tell us what happened after.

“They also had to start with what had happened before they got on the train – Harris writes a few lines on that for each one – but they had to come up with a whole background.”

Southridge boys first for fourth straight yearWith four more wins in a lit-

tle more than a week – and 11 straight in league play – the South-ridge Storm senior boys basketball team clinched its Fraser Valley AA league title for the fourth straight season.

Since Jan. 19, the Storm have reeled off a string of victories, over the Sands Scorpions, Holy Cross Crusaders and Pacific Academy Breakers – twice.

The wins gave Southridge an 11-0 league record.

On Jan. 19, Storm defeated Sands 87-36, led by Matt Sinitsin, who

was the high-scorer for the Pen-insula squad, finishing with 18 points, while also picking up eight rebounds.

In total, seven Storm play-ers finished with double-digit points, including Jacob Andreou (13 points), Jordan Yee (11) and Jonathan Yu, Rider Laskin, Aavis Bhindi and Royce Holmes, all of whom had 10.

The following day, the Storm won their first of two games against Pacific Academy, 76-54.

Yee led the charge this time for the Peninsula school, with 25

points and seven assists. Sinitsin had another big game with 15 points and eight rebounds, and Jacob Andreou also finished with a double-double, with 12 points and 17 boards.

There was little time to rest before hitting the court again, as the Storm suited up the following day – the team’s third game in a row, and seventh in 10 days – but showed no sign of fatigue, beating Holy Cross 59-42.

Southridge was forced to play without injured Jag Dhatt – his third straight game on the sidelines

– and also played much of the con-test without Andreou, who spent much of the game in foul trouble.

Nevertheless, Storm received strong showings from Yee, Sinitsin and Michael Carter, who had nine points and eight rebounds.

The title-clinching victory game Tuesday night, again over the Breakers, 76-42.

Both teams started the game slowly, which kept the score close until halftime, but the defending champions broke the contest open in the second half and coasted to the win.

Yee came up big, registering solid numbers in all statistical categories after a 22-point, six-rebound, six-steal, six-assist night.

Holmes added 12 points while Bhindi had eight points and nine rebounds.

After such a hectic mid-month schedule, the Storm now have a few days off, before hosting Burns-view Secondary on Feb. 2.

The game – the last regular-sea-son tilt at home – is also the Storm’s seniors night, where graduating players are to be honoured.

Kickback

Nick GreenizanSports Reporter

Three winters ago, the last thing Riley Arnold was thinking about was becoming a taekwondo champion.

Back then, his only concern was being able to walk without his swollen left knee hurting.

Arnold, now 13, took a spill while skiing at Cypress Mountain – “I just

hit a little bit of ice and crashed,” he said – and landed hard on his knee, twisting it.

The end result was a torn anterior-cruciate ligament (ACL), which kept him from taekwondo for two years – a tough adjustment, considering he’d been practicing the sport since he was six years old.

“I didn’t really know how bad it was, after it happened,” he

explained, while sitting in the lounge of Chang’s Taekwondo Martial Arts, his home dojo.

“After I hurt it, I actually came back (to Chang’s) and tried to work out, but it was pretty bad, and I just couldn’t do it.”

A quick trip to the doctor confirmed the injury, which resulted in surgery and a lengthy rehab process, which meant a long time

away from his sport.“It took a long time to get better, a

real long time,” Arnold said.The young martial artist

persevered – “I’m here pretty much every day during the week, and sometimes on the weekend, too,” he said – and his hard work paid off handsomely earlier this month, at the Junior National Taekwondo � see page 35

In the first of three straight games against the Burnaby Express, the Surrey Eagles got off on a good note, winning 5-2 Wednesday night at Burnaby’s Bill Copeland Arena.

Forward Adam Basford led the visiting squad with a four-point night, scoring an unassisted marker in the first period – after intercepting an Express pass – and assisting on three other goals.

Brad McGowan, Andrew Wallace – who also had two assists – Grant Toulmin and Richard Vanderhoek also scored for Surrey, while Alex Petan and Zac Ashdown replied for Burnaby.

The power-play was the key issue for both clubs, as five of the game’s seven goals were scored with the man advantage. The Eagles were 3-for-5.

The win ended a four-game los-ing streak for the Eagles, who have struggled since the calendar turned to 2010.

They’re just 3-7 in January, and currently occupy fifth place in the BC Hockey League’s Coastal Con-ference, with 57 points – four points back of Langley.

The two teams will renew hos-tilities tonight (Friday) at South Surrey Arena – puck drop is 7 p.m – and then again Saturday, back in Burnaby.

There may not be any Peninsula athletes competing for Canada at the 2010 Winter Olympics, but fans of the Surrey Eagles will have a pair of hockey players to cheer for when the men’s hockey tournament begins in Vancouver.

Two former Eagles, T.J. Mulock and Jakub Ficenec, will suit up for Germany at the 2010 Games.

Ironically, neither player is a native German. Mulock, a former Eagles captain who left the team during the 2005/06 season, is a Langley resident, and Ficenec, 32, hails from the Czech Republic. Both players play in the German Elite League, and have obtained German citizenship.

Mulock will be a name familiar to recent

fans of the Eagles. He was the team’s leading scorer – and arguably its best all-around player – during the team’s 2004/05 playoff run, which culminated in a BCHL championship. He captained the team the following season, before leaving for the Western Hockey League’s

Kamloops Blazers. Mulock, who now

plays for the Eisbaren Berlin Polar Bears of the German League, also played in the WHL for the Vancouver Giants and Regina Pats during his junior career. Mulock’s older brother, Tyson,

also played for Berlin.Ficenec, who turns

33 a day before the Olympics begin, was a high-scoring defenceman for the Eagles during a two-year stretch from 1996-98. His best season came in his second year with the team, when the smooth-skating blue-liner racked up 35 goals and 91 points in just 55 games.

Following his junior career, Ficenec spent

three seasons bouncing around the North American minor league circuit before returning to Europe, where he has played since 2001.

He’s spent the last seven seasons with

Ingoldstadt Panthers of the German League.

Championships in Halifax, N.S.

That’s where, on the grandest stage of his young career, Arnold – in Grade 8 at Earl Marriott Secondary – fought his way through the welterweight division (54-57 kg), and finished with a bronze medal. His only loss came in semifinals.

“It was the biggest event I’d ever been at, and there were a lot of people watching, and a lot of world champions there, so it felt really good,” he said.

“I knew there would be some really tough (competition), which there was, but overall, in my weight category, I think I did pretty good, considering it was my first time there.”

Arnold also admitted that his long journey back from injury was forefront on his mind as he received his bronze medal.

“I thought about it, for sure, just because I’d trained so much to get there, to get to that point. It meant a lot.”

In addition to his heavy training schedule, Arnold also teaches younger taekwondo students at Chang’s. He’s a junior assistant instructor, and teaches as many as three classes a day.

His commitment to the sport has been contagious, too. In the years since taking up taekwondo, Arnold’s 10-year-old sister,

Ashlyn, and six-year-old brother, Kyler, have taken up the sport, as has his mother, Tracy.

There’s plenty on the horizon for Arnold,

too. Junior provincial championships are later this year, as are nationals again. Within the year, the EMS student also hopes to

compete at the Pan-Am Championships, and also the U.S. Open, which is for 14- to 17-year-old athletes.

And of course, down

the road even further, looms a handful of World Taekwondo Federation events – the World Championships and the Olympic

Games.“It’s tough not to

think that far ahead, but you really have to just concentrate on what’s coming next,

and what’s closest,” he said.

“The provincials are next. Right now, I’m just training to get gold in that.”

Three in a rowPeace Arch United’s

U21 continued its successful season last weekend with a 3-1 win over Pitt Meadows.

The win, PAU’s third consecutive victory, saw the continuation of the Peninsula squad’s offensive exploits – the team has scored 15 goals since returning from the holiday break.

Aiden Boulet, Adam Walker and Andrew Mazzone all scored for Peace Arch, with Mazzone’s tally giving him a team-leading nine markers on the season.

At midfield, Naeem Ahmed was a force for PAU, while Connor McCann and Dan Campagne also played well on the back line.

Tom Johnston was between the pipes for United.

Peace Arch plays a second-round Cup game Sunday.

sportsSwimmer to carry torch

Another local torchbearer – an Olympian – has been announced for White Rock’s route.

Vancouver native Sarah Evanetz – a swimmer in the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta – is scheduled to run with the torch along White Rock’s Marine Drive at 7:15 a.m. on Feb. 9.

While many local torchbearers have already been announced, many of them will be taking part in the relay in other communities.

A full list of White Rock/South Surrey torchbearers is expected to be announced in the coming days.

Street Name ChangesThe City of Surrey, in consultation with business and community associations, has approved the renaming of a number of important roads within the City Centre area of Surrey along with the full length of King George Highway. These changes are being made both in response to input from the public and also as a sign of our own commitment to developing Surrey City Centre as the region’s second downtown.

With construction of a new regional library starting later this year, the planning for a new City Hall underway, expansion of Simon Fraser University, the construction of the Chuck Bailey sports and recreational facility and many more exciting development projects in the pipeline, the renaming of key streets further demonstrates the vision for our City Centre.

These changes will take effect on January 31, 2010, with Canada Post Corporation providing 12 months of uninterrupted mail delivery to affected properties.

The specifi c road name changes are:

Current Road Names New Road Names • King George Highway • King George Boulevard• East Whalley Ring Road • Whalley Boulevard• West Whalley Ring Road • University Drive• 135 Street within City Centre • City Parkway

These include portions of 134 Street, 134A Street 136A Street, 137 Street and Hilton Road in the City Centre as shown in the illustrations.

All affected properties addressed on these streets will receive a letter and marked maps showing the changes. The letter will explain the process set up by the City to ensure a smooth transition and steps that need to be taken by the property owners.

For further information visit our ‘Street Name Changes’ webpage at: www.surrey.ca -> Living in Surrey -> Utilities and Transportation -> Transportation -> Street Name ChangesComments and questions can be sent to:Email: [email protected]: 604-591-4666

In the 10 years I have been advertising with the Peace Arch News, I have had excellent service. The sales

representatives have always been very organized, helpful and cheerful in an otherwise busy environment of current news and deadlines to meet.

It’s quite amazing how they visualize my needs, proof the product and

deliver the goods on time. I always get the sense that the

Peace Arch News is the community newspaper.

This is the newspaper the customers read and that is important to me and

my advertising dollars.

Since the time I started my dance business fi ve years ago, the Peace Arch News was the fi rst advertising media

I used and has been my principal advertising tool ever since then.

and

I have been lucky enough to own a business in White Rock since 1984 and along the way the Peace Arch News has been an integral part of my success.

Very simply, I have relied on the Peace Arch News to generate consistent,

effective response to my ads.

In the course of my 26 years in business our clients, most of which came to us through our newspaper ads are now our great friends. I am so grateful

that we live and work in such a close knit community and that our local

newspaper is there to meet the needs of all of its residents.

At Mareth’s Hair Studio our message has always been to promote a commitment

of professionalism in our work and value to our clients.

With the Peace Arch News and their extensive circulation as our marketing

partner, Mareth’s has fl ourished.

Mareth HunterOwner/Operator

Mareth’s Hair Studio



Advertising in the Peace Arch News is good value – it reaches the people we hope to reach in our area. Many of

our customers have told us they saw our ad in the Peace Arch

News and like to shop locally.

The paper has a large readership and focuses on local

events and businesses.

Advertising dollars can only go so far so it’s nice to support a local paper that seems to

address the kind of editorials and ads that are of

interest to the residents of the area.
