A woman who didn’t initially want to be a cop is now the highest-ranking female offi cer in the Surrey RCMP.
Carol Bradley has been promoted to superintendent, making her the highest-ranking woman in Surrey and one of just 26 female superintendents in the country’s national police force.
As the new Operations Support Offi cer, Bradley will oversee members services, professional standards, training, media and a host of other areas within the RCMP.
It’s a steep climb for a woman who didn’t start out wanting to be a cop.
“I spent the summer of 1984 working as a Summer Student Constable with the RCMP at the UBC detachment,” Bradley said. “I had never considered joining the RCMP – it was still considered a non-traditional career for women back then – but my experience working with the RCMP that summer was so
positive that I decided to join. Two years later, I became a regu-lar member constable.”
Since then, Bradley has served in federal, protective, general duty and traffi c roles in four provinces. In addition to opera-tional duties, she worked at the RCMP Depot in Regina for 15 years, where she held positions in cadet training, recruiting and staffi ng. In 2006 she was commissioned to the rank of inspec-tor as the Offi cer in Charge of Applied Police Sciences at Depot. Bradley also held positions in the North West Region and B.C.’s South East District, followed by her most recent position as the Offi cer in Charge of the B.C. RCMP’s Respectful Workplace Program.
Bradley will be a key fi gure during the expected increase of the Surrey RCMP by 100 offi cers in the next year to 803 mem-bers.
“Supt. Bradley has extensive experience in training and staffi ng and excellent interper-sonal skills, all of which will be a signifi cant asset to this detach-ment as we continue to welcome more police offi cers to Surrey,” said Surrey Offi cer-in-Charge Bill Fordy.

Th e appointment of former civic bureaucrats from Surrey and Vancouver to the TransLink board of directors further shuts out smaller com-munities, Burnaby’s mayor says.
Earlier this month, Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development Peter Fass-bender (who is the MLA for Surrey-Fleetwood) announced Murray Dinwoodie and Jim Chu had been appointed to the TransLink board.
Dinwoodie is the former city manager for Sur-rey and Chu is the ex-chief of the Vancouver Police Depart-ment.
Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said the appoint-ments further isolate smaller communities.
Corrigan charged that other regional municipalities are already rendered eff ectively voiceless by Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson and Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner, who – as chair and vice-chair, respec-tively, of TransLink’s Mayors’
Council – control the agenda.Th e Mayors’ Council appoints the majority of
members on the board of directors and approves various transportation plans, including transit service levels, major capital projects and regional funding strategies.
Corrigan said Surrey and Vancouver used their “weighted votes” to install themselves as heads of the Mayors’ Council.

A Surrey resident is raising the alarm over an invasive plant he recently discovered near his home.
Mardie Wolsey was picking blackberries with his grandchildren at 26 Avenue and Cranley Drive, near Sunnyside Park, when a suspicious-looking plant caught his eye.
Having recently read an article in Macleans
about Japanese knot-weed – and how it is aggressively taking over certain parts of the province – Wolsey recognized its broad green leaves, round, bamboo-like stems and small white fl owers.
After sending pic-tures of the plant to the provincial forest ministry’s invasive plant department, Wolsey’s suspicions were confi rmed.
“Th ey thanked me for noticing it, and confi rmed that it is knotweed,” Wolsey said. “Th ey told me that they will get at it, and I hope they do. It’s wicked stuff .”
According to Jennifer Grenz, project manger with the Invasive Spe-

Think we’re not all connected? Th ink there are enough peninsulas, channels, inlets, and deltas in the BC
lower mainland to keep traffi c bottlenecks from ricocheting throughout the system? Th e infamous Lions Gate Bridge ‘bump’ has at least disabused us of this notion.
Certainly the eff ects diminish in the outlying sub-networks, but last week’s traffi c chaos caused by upgrading work on an expansion joint on the south end of the bridge—work that will continue for the next month—is a classic case of how irregularities in traffi c fl ow systems start small at the source, say an one minute of delay, and then generate four to fi ve minutes of delay further along the fl ow, which in turn ripples out to connecting networks.
Sea-to-Sky tourists, Horseshoe Bay ferry-users, Highway 1/Trans-Canada Highway users—peak season for all—and the re-routing by many to the only other crossing over the Burrard Inlet, the Ironworkers Memorial Second Narrows Bridge in North Vancouver, which almost inevitably leads to congestion-caused crashes there,—the ripple eff ect of this one, seemingly small, irregularity has been awesome to see. …And beyond annoying.
North Shore and downtown traffi c has been at a stand still. A YVR-departure, a long-scheduled appointment with a downtown medical specialist, a once-in-a-lifetime meeting opportunity…the potential life altering ‘misses’ are endless. And we know that all those idling vehicles stuck in traffi c are wasting fuel and damaging
our air quality.At fi rst, a 1.75-inch thick metal plate
crossing all three lanes of the Lions Gate Bridge covered the work-site. Although the Ministry of Transportation said the plate had been designed to accommodate all vehicles travelling at regular speeds, video footage shows most vehicles instinctively slowing down to bump up and then down over the plate.
Partially prompted by TransLink’s decision to stop all North Vancouver buses from crossing the bridge, Ministry of Transportation crews worked throughout the night of Th ursday August 20th , to add rubber ramping and interfacing in an attempt to smooth out the bump and thereby eliminate the need to brake over it. Whether or not this fi x is working is not yet certain. Certainly the reverse ripple eff ect should at least reduce the traffi c chaos to something approaching ordinary or normal.
Th e havoc wreaked by this seemingly tiny bump has also revived discussion of the long-recognized need for a third crossing over Burrard Inlet. West Vancouver’s Mayor Michael Smith pointed out that experts have said for decades that the North Shore needs another connection, but nothing has been done despite the continuing, if not accelerating, population and infrastructure growth in both North Vancouver and West Vancouver.
Mayor Smith was reported as saying “while more transit is a good idea, many people are still going to drive, and they, along with people living on the Sea-to-Sky Corridor and ferry-bound vehicles need a way to get to the rest of Metro Vancouver. …Th e North Shore hasn’t had a new bridge in over 60 years. Show me another area of Metro Vancouver that has had no enhancement to its transportation network in a period of time like that.” Point made.

cies Council of Metro Vancouver (ISCMV), Japanese knotweed poses a “huge risk” to the local environment and infrastructure.
“It’s capable of upheaving concrete, cracking foundations,” Grenz said. “It’s some-thing that’s happened to such an extent in the U.K. that people are being denied insur-ance and mortgages because of it. It’s only a matter of time over here before that begins to be an issue.”
Th e council has been working over the past fi ve years to bring to-gether municipalities, the province and feder-al representatives – as well as utility compa-nies like BC Hydro and Fortis – to battle the knotweed infestation around B.C.
Grenz said that edu-cating private residents about the dangers of knotweed – and how to eradicate it – is “the last piece of the puzzle” in the battle against the invasive plant.
Th e ISCMV has set up a website – www.knotonmyproperty.com – which provides information about knotweed, and the dos and don’ts of dealing with it.
Among the don’ts, Grenz notes, is cutting or digging out the weed.
“A lot of the spread that occurs is because of poor choices in man-agement,” she said, noting that knotweed has a “massive” root system, and what you see above ground is a small portion of the full plant.
“You need a herbicide that will move all the way through the plant into the humungous root system, either by way of injection guns or spraying or wiping the plant, depending on where it is.”
According to Nadia Chan, natural areas co-ordinator for the City of Surrey, an erad-ication program has been in place through-out the city’s parks for 10 years. Additionally, a program to remove knotweed from city roadsides was put in place two years ago.
“We identify loca-tions with the knot-weed and put them on a scheduled program for eradication and fol-low-up maintenance,” Chan said, noting the plant is treated with
stem injections or spraying throughout July and August, with yearly follow-ups.
Chan said Surrey is currently managing knotweed in about half of the city’s natural area parks, noting some sites are simply a few stems whereas others are a few square metres of plant.
“Roadside sites tend to be larger because the plant is very easily spread by mowing,” she pointed out.
Surrey residents who spot Japanese knot-weed on city property are asked to call the parks service request line at 604-501-5050; for knotweed on private property, Chan recommended contact-ing the ISCMV.
For Wolsey, whose townhouse is less than a block from where he discovered the knotweed, getting the problem under control in his neighbourhood needs to be a priority before homes become aff ected.
“People around here should be notifi ed so that they can keep their eyes out for it,” he said.

Surrey’s latest Civic Treasures have all demonstrated a lengthy and passionate commitment to the community.
Historian Roger Bose, reporter and musician Alex Browne and artists and mentors Cora and Don Li-Leger will be formally named 2015 Civic Treasures at the annual business and the arts reception on Oct. 6.
Th is award is a signifi cant one, as it is one of a small number of initiatives by the City of Surrey to recognize the importance of intangible, but very important aspects of city life. Th ere is much more to Surrey than develop-ment, real estate, crime, roads and transportation.
Bose is one of the many mem-bers of the pioneering Bose fam-ily who have played an import-ant part in Surrey life for more than a century. He is a valuable source of historical knowledge in the city, regularly takes part in activities to promote Surrey’s rich history and is an instrumen-tal research contributor to an upcoming book about the Bose family farm.
His commitment to Surrey’s heritage is signifi cant, and is more important than ever as the city, including parts of the historic Bose farm on 64 Avenue, change almost beyond recognition.
Browne has been reporting on many aspects of Surrey life for
more than three decades. He is the longtime arts and entertain-ment writer for the Peace Arch News, but has also been directly involved in many aspects of the arts for many, many years.
He has spent decades promot-ing and supporting artists and new arts initiatives in Surrey, and is a talented musician and actor. He regularly performs mu-sic of the 1920s and 1930s with his band, Alexander Browne and the Aristocrats.
Cora and Don Li-Leger have a “passion for local Surrey art and artists (that) is matched only by their love of global contem-porary art,” an online summary notes. Described by supporters as “an unending source of cultur-al knowledge and inspiration,” the Li-Legers are “tremendous role models and mentors for many local emerging artists.”
Th ey have lived in Surrey for 25 years, and have supported and taken part in many Surrey arts initiatives since that time. Described by supporters as “an unending source of cultural knowledge and inspiration,” the Li-Legers are “tremendous role models and mentors for many local emerging artists.”
Th eir quest to understand contemporary “art making” and its eff ect on cities is extremely broad and seeks to engage other
cultures, the city said in a press release. Cora is a founding mem-ber of the city’s Culture Develop-ment Advisory Committee.
Th is is the eighth annual presentation of Surrey Civic Treasure awards. All of the previous recipients have been instrumental contributors to the life and depth of the city. No city is complete unless it has a vibrant arts, cultural and social community. It also needs to have a deep understanding of its heritage and where it has come from.
Th e award honours individuals who have achieved excellence in the production of the arts and/or made signifi cant contribu-tions to the development of arts and heritage in Surrey and beyond.
Each of the recipients “exemplify the true spirit of a Civic Treasure,” said Coun. Judy Villeneuve, chair of the public art advisory committee.
Each of the recipients has contributed an enormous amount of time and energy to making Surrey a more vibrant place, particularly in the area of arts, culture and heritage. Th is recognition is well-deserved.

#200-5450 152 St., Surrey, B.C. V3S 5J9Published by Black Press Ltd.
Everyone always has a complaint about the way they have been treated, but how often do you hear about the good side?
Recently my wife was involved in a motor vehicle accident. I was fi rst to start fi rst aid, in the middle of the road.
Once I had control over the situation and was reaching for my cellphone to call 911, I had the people from behind us as well as the people in front of us volunteer to help. Having the situation under control, I thanked
them and they carried on.Th en a nurse on her way to work stopped
and having more fi rst aid experience than my-self, took over until the fi re trucks arrived.
Th at morning we had Surrey Fire Service, Surrey RCMP and BC Ambulance attend to assist with my wife’s injuries. Everyone was extremely calm and professional.
Once my wife was on her way to the hospital, the RCMP member realized that having two vehicles at the scene and one driver would not work. As the tow truck was delayed, the offi cer followed me home to drop off one vehicle and then drove me back so I could drive the second one as well. Th e fi re
department stayed on scene to make sure no one went through my wife’s belongings until I returned to remove the vehicle.
Th ose two acts of kindness were unwar-ranted yet they did them anyway.
Once I made it to the hospital to see my wife, we stayed in emergency from ap-proximately 8 a.m. until she got a bed that night at 8:45 p.m. During that time, the paramedics that transported her stopped by after their other pick-ups to check in and see how she was. Th ese are the small things that no one ever sees.
My wife spent a week in the hospital and I came to know some of the nurses and
paramedics that spent their days there. I have nothing but respect for the men and women who do these important jobs and not for the recognition of it, but for the joy of helping others.
My heart-fi lled thanks goes out to all the doctors and nurses at Surrey and Royal Colombian hospitals, Surrey Fire Service, Surrey RCMP, BC Ambulance paramedics, AIM, the Harley Davidson Baggers and Hawgs Den, and the Greater Vancouver Motorcycle Club.
Th ank you all.

TRACY HOLMES
A pair of fi res on rural Surrey sites are a good reminder of the need for vigilance in careful dis-posal of cigarettes and other incendiary materi-als, offi cials say.
Deputy Chief Larry Th omas said crews spent about six hours fi ghting a “fairly big” fi re in a blueberry fi eld Monday, after smoke was spotted just after 3 p.m.
Due to its location approximately one kilo-metre from the roadway, off -road vehicles had to be used to gain access to the site and water was pumped from the nearby Serpentine River, Th omas said.
Career and volunteer fi refi ghters from four halls responded to the scene, with the last leaving the site about six hours later.
Th omas described the fi re as a diffi cult one, given the land type.
“Th e problem with that land in that area is there’s a lot of peat,” he said, explaining such fi res smolder underground. “You have to soak the ground thoroughly.”
And while the cause of the fi re is unknown, Th omas noted that many of the blazes that fi re crews are attending to of late have been the result of discarded cigarettes.

Children and teens aren’t the only stu-dents purchasing new notebooks this fall. An increasing number of adults are also going back to school, accord-ing to SFU Continuing Studies, which off ers professional develop-ment and personal growth programs, as well
as degree completion, for adult learners.
Over the last fi ve years, Continuing Studies’ reg-istrations have climbed by 21 per cent to a total of 11,736 in 2014-15.
Adults return to school for a variety of reasons. Some need a profession-al development certifi -cate or degree to advance their careers or to switch
careers. Some, particu-larly those who partic-ipate in the Adults 55+ Program, are seeking personal growth.
“For many adults, a degree is unfi nished business,” says Yvonne Tabin, director of SFU NOW: Nights or Week-ends, the University’s degree-completion program for working adults.
“Th eir studies were in-terrupted at some point or they didn’t know what they wanted to study or know how university would fi t into their lives. Th ey now want to go
back and fi nish what they started.”
But their break from being in an intense learning environment can make them ill-pre-pared for the psycho-logical and scheduling challenges of juggling studies, family and work.
Continuing Studies’ staff members off er six tips for older learners returning to school this fall:
1. Plan aheadMake sure to plan
your time term-by-term, week-by-week, and day-by-day if need be.
2. Organize and
schedule your timeBe aware of how you
spend your time. Where might you be more effi -cient? Is there anything you can spend less time on, such as television, social activities, or housework?
3. Build a support team
Let others know what you are doing and involve them by asking them to support you. Ask your children/partner to help you with household responsibil-ities and your studies. Your children can quiz you for a test. Your part-ner can read and respond to a paper.
4. Be consistentKeep up with your
reading and review. It’s
always harder to catch up than stay ahead. Instead of cramming, schedule several short study periods.
5. Good enough is excellent
Don’t set unrealis-tic expectations. You don’t need a single A to graduate.
6. Be an active student
Get to know your professor. Go see him or her during offi ce hours and introduce yourself. Th ink critical-ly. Voice your thoughts and opinions. You have something to contrib-ute.
Julia Goodwin, an SFU NOW student studying criminology, gerontology and per-
forming and fi ne arts, can attest to all of this.
At age 31, she’s a bit younger than the aver-age adult learner, but has found Tabin’s tips invaluable in helping her re-integrate into a higher-education envi-ronment after six years of climbing the career ladder.
She took Tabin’s ad-vice to build a support team and now says her parents, grandmother and boyfriend have been most encouraging.
“My boyfriend and I set aside what we call ‘biz nights’ in which we both commit to solid blocks of time a few times a week to only study and do assign-ments,” says Goodwin.

Heading back to school means new clothes, new supplies and maybe some new friends. However many parents don’t think about protecting their child’s identity during the transition from summer to the classroom.
Child identity theft does happen. Most Canadians get their Social Insurance Number (SIN) when they are born, but if not, any child 12 years old or older can apply for one. Th is can open a window of opportunity crooks.
“Th ieves use the information to set up bank accounts, get credit cards and secure loans,” says Evan Kelly, senior communications advisor for Better Business Bureau (BBB) serving Mainland B.C. “All they have to do is set up a fake address and they are off and running.”
Children make good targets for
fi nancial scams of this nature, Kelly says.
“Th ey have zero credit history. Th ere are no questionable transactions for a bank to raise a red fl ag on so it’s much more diffi cult to spot.”
BBB has some tips for protecting your child’s identity as they head back to school:
• Don’t allow them to carry around their SIN card. Leave it at home and locked in a safe place.
• If a business or school asks for their SIN, ask questions. Why do they need it and where and how is this informa-tion being stored?
• Don’t give their SIN out unless it’s absolutely necessary and keep a list of where you gave it out. Th is could help authorities track someone down should something bad happen.
• Ask your child’s school about its policies on things like surveys, data breaches and programs that may require certain personal information. • Report any concerns to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre toll free: 1-888-495-8501.

Four inner-city schools in Surrey will be home to Sarah McLachlan School of Music programs within the next three years.
Sarah McLachlan is scheduled to appear at the Surrey Arts Centre on Sept. 22 from 6-8:30 p.m. to announce the creation of the programs in the city.
Th e education will be tailored for students from homes where the opportunity to participate in fi ner music studies is unavailable because of a lack of fi nancial means.
While the programs won’t be up until 2018, organizers are hoping to get an offi ce up and running as soon as possible.
Th at will require $70,000 in seed money, which they hope to raise from donations.
Th e Surrey Board of Trade is hosting McLach-lan’s visit next month.
“Sarah McLachlan School of Music will give our at-risk youth reachable goals, realistic hopeful pathways, engaging school and community set-tings, and will change their expectations for their future,” said Anita Huberman, CEO of the Surrey Board of Trade.
Businesses can register by calling Deanna at the Surrey Board of Trade at 604-581-7130 or by emailing her at [email protected]
Only registered guests will be allowed into the reception.

Going back to school can be a fun time for kids. Th ey get to recon-nect with friends and teachers and show off their new threads.
New back-to-school outfi ts and related supplies is big business
this time of year. In fact, according to the Better Business Bureau (BBB), it’s the second-largest spending season of the year and students from kindergarten to univer-sity in North America will spend more than 70 billion on new clothes and supplies before heading back to class.
For many families, this isn’t an easy price to pay. Th ere is also the odd scam to be aware of.
Th e BBB has some tips to help make the trip back to school an easy transition:
• Create a budgetBefore hitting the
stores for back to school shopping, do a quick price search online so you don’t have to waste time comparing prices from store to store. Make sure to clip or print out coupons, review cash-back/rebate
programs and note expiration dates.
• Set up email alerts Observing pricing
early is key to fi nding deals on quality prod-ucts. Retailers may have an informed community of savvy shoppers on the blogs or forums who share exclusive coupons, deals, and insider in-formation. Th ese alerts will help you not miss any hot back to school trends.
• Read the return policy –twice
Th e BBB recommends keeping all original packaging for supply items (cellophane, bubble wrap, boxes) and receipts and return/exchange the item(s) as soon as possible.
• Be savvy onlineMake sure the web-
sites you use are secure with https:// and the lock icon in the url.
Avoid impulse buys through pop-up ads. Use a trusted pay portal such as PayPal. Monitor your accounts for any transactions you did not approve.
• Beware of potential form fraud
With back-to-school shopping comes the fi lling out of forms for supplies, books and enrollment. Be careful what information you provide to who. Addi-tionally, keep a copy of the forms you turn in that have sensitive infor-mation.
• Social media scams Be wary of back-to-
school coupons and deals on social media. Remember: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Th ese seemingly unbeatable deals are often just a ploy to collect personal information.

Beginning this fall, Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) will be-gin extending fi nancial aid and other supports to former youth in care pursuing post-secondary education.
Developed through the university’s Faculty of Academic and Career Advancement (ACA), the pilot program will cover tuition and student fees for up to fi ve applicants who have been accepted to KPU. Additional fund-ing from the Irving K. Barber Endowment for Educational Opportuni-ties will assist with other educational expenses, including textbooks.
“As with similar programs at other B.C. post-secondary insti-tutions, support for former youth in care helps to level the playing fi eld for this particular group of young people as they transition to their adult lives,” said Patrick
Donahoe, dean of ACA. Students accepted to
KPU’s Support Program for Former Youth-in-Care will be matched to a dedicated academic advisor for academ-ic planning, regular student check-ins and referrals to other KPU services and program-ming. Students will also
receive priority access to the dean’s offi ce within the Faculty of ACA.
Th ough currently a one-year pilot, there are plans to continue and potentially expand the program following the 2015-16 academic year. Come September, KPU will be one of 11 post-secondary institu-
tions in B.C. with fund-ing programs for former youth in care.
For more informa-tion on KPU’s Support Program for Former Youth-in-Care, visit kpu.ca/fyic. Information on Faculty of Academic and Career Advancement programs is available at kpu.ca/aca

“Th is only adds fuel to that fi re, (with Fassbender) appoint-ing former employees of both Vancouver and Surrey as the (provin-cial) representatives,” Corrigan said.
He questions how two former civic bureaucrats qualify as provincial representa-tives.
“Th at was the reac-tion from the mayors, is how do these two represent the prov-ince’s interest?”
Corrigan said. “Th e expectation was always that (the province) would appoint MLAs, or at the very least, deputy ministers to that position.”
In those cases, the provincial representa-tives would have the authority to speak for the provincial govern-ment, he said.
“But in this case, neither of these parties have the authority to speak on behalf of the provincial government, because their relation-ship is so distant.”
Fassbender acknowl-edged the two new directors won’t have any powers beyond a regular director, but said they will represent the province.
“Both Jim Chu and Murray Dinwoodie have extensive expe-rience, not just in the civic level but at the regional, provincial and national levels,” Fassbender said. “I’m positive that their contributions will be invaluable.”
Hepner was pleased with the naming of the two new directors, and said Corrigan’s con-
cerns are unfounded.“On a personal level,
I have always been a collaborative player,” Hepner said Wednes-day. “I don’t see it as a power struggle, I see it as an acknowledge-ment of the impor-tance of the projects that have been deter-mined by the entire Mayors’ Council, with the exception of Corrig-an.”
Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore (who is chair of the TransLink board) said he thinks it’s great that local expertise has been brought in.
“(Dinwoodie and Chu) understand the region and I think that’s a good thing,” said Moore. He noted that the pair both have experience working on regional initiatives.
“I think most of us as mayors, when we go to Metro Vancouver, we go to TransLink,
we think it’s from a regional perspective,” Moore said. “And I expect that they (Din-woodie and Chu) will do the same thing.”
Delta Mayor Lois Jackson was also positive about the two
appoint-ments.
“I’m real-ly hopeful that we will be able to count on these folks to repre-sent what we actu-ally need here in the Lower Mainland,”
Jackson said.But Corrigan dis-
agrees, saying the al-ready abundant infl u-ence over TransLlink decisions enjoyed by Vancouver and Surrey has eff ectively been “doubled.”
Th e TransLink board was expected to meet Th ursday (Aug. 27) af-ter Th e Leader’s press deadline – the fi rst meeting for Chu and Dinwoodie.

Following his son’s treatment, a friend, Al Martin, suggested he take part in the Ride to Conquer Can-cer as a way to give back and raise money for cancer research.
Jeff ares took the suggestion to heart, buying a bike and hitting the road.
A few days later he received a call from Martin ask-ing him to come by his home in Guildford, explaining he had something to show him.
“When I arrived at his house, he was standing there with his own new bike,” said Jeff ares. “And he told me ‘let’s go, I’m going to ride too’.”
During training, there were many times that Jeff ares didn’t want to ride his bike, but Martin, 61, would call up and “push me out there.”
Although Jeff ares was in okay shape, riding a bike for that amount of time lets you know you have body parts you don’t normally use that much, he said.
“At the time, not only was my son diagnosed with cancer, but my dad had recently passed away,” said Jeff ares. Al became like an extra dad to me.”
Th at year, despite extensive training, neither rider was able to fully complete the ride, with Martin making it to the halfway point and Jeff ares to the last checkpoint only a few miles from the fi nish line before his legs could push him no further.
Following the ride, the two men took some time off from cycling but made a commitment to even-tually complete the ride together.
In 2012, Nicholas, now 10, was deemed can-cer-free, with his type of leukemia considered “vir-tually curable,” Jeff ares says.
So in 2014, the two friends decided to try the ride again. However in June of that year, Martin was himself diagnosed with cancer.
Despite his diagnosis, he planned to accompany Jeff ares in a support vehicle to the end of the ride.
Unfortunately Martin passed away only three months later.
So this Saturday, as he makes his second attempt to fi nish the ride, Jeff ares will be thinking about his friend, his son and all those who have battled the disease, and on Sunday both families will be at the fi nish line in Washington to meet him.
For Jeff ares, raising money for cancer research has always been a given, but his motivation is now much deeper.
“For me, it’s about setting goals, whether it’s beat-ing cancer or whatever your personal goals are,” he said. “My main goal this year was to cross the fi nish line and fulfi ll a promise to a friend.”

Fire fund donations collected at B.C. liquor storesTOM FLETCHER
B.C. Liquor Stores are now collecting donations from customers to help people evacuated and burned out by forest fi res.
Loss of homes and evacuations in the Rock Creek and Oliver areas prompted the Canadian Red Cross to ask government liquor stores for help, as they did in the 2003 forest fi res that aff ected the Okanagan and Th omson regions.
Customers are asked to add donations of $2, $5 or any multiple of those to their purchases. Proceeds will be used for blankets, food and water, reuniting residents with family member and assisting with longer-term needs such as replacing equipment to return to work and helping with rent.

A low-tech approach shaping crops is bringing amazing results at Surrey’s Bose farm, which has opened its corn maze with a design of the em-blem for this year’s Women’s World Cup soccer, which took place this summer in Vancouver.
Th e artwork is farmed out. But from there, it’s all elbow grease.
“We have a designer in Utah that designs it for us,” Mike Bose said Tuesday.
He said no GPS systems are used to transfer the mapped-out image onto the fi eld.
“(We) count rows of corn,” Bose said. “Th ree men walk out counting the rows for mea-
sure and use sparse amounts of orange road paint to mark out where the corn will be removed.”
It takes the team about fi ve hours to complete the design.
“Th en once that’s done, we follow it with a little garden tractor and a rototiller,” Bose said.
Pulling the corn out by hand is not an option, he said, as there’s fi ve or six kilometres of trail that needs to come up.
Bose said this year his neighbor’s son ran the tractor.
“For a city boy, he ran a rototiller pretty good,” Bose said.
Th is season’s corn maze features the FIFA Women’s World Cup soccer emblem, celebrating Canada’s team.
Th e Bose Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch is located on 64 Avenue at 156 Street and is open until Oct. 12.
The maze opened last Saturday (Aug. 22) and is $7 for adults, $6 for children and $23 for a family.

Rotary at Work BC has announced the call for entries for the second annual Innova-tive Labour Solutions
Awards, sponsored by Community Living BC, Rotary Club of Surrey, Rotary at Work BC, Milieu Family Services, City of Surrey – Mea-suring Up, and WorkBC
Employment Services Centres.
Th e Innovative La-bour Solutions Awards will celebrate employ-ers who believe in and support employment for adults with devel-opmental disabilities; someone who goes above and beyond their job to create a welcom-ing workplace where everyone feels valued and respected. Com-munity members who would like to recognize an inclusive employer are invited to submit a nomination.
“Th e Innovative La-bour Solutions Awards are a great way to rec-ognize employers who believe in inclusion and provide meaningful employment oppor-tunities for adults with developmental disabilities,” said Seonag Macrae, CEO of Community Living BC. “Th ese awards also help to raise community awareness about the importance of inclusive employment.”
Th e goal of the Rota-ry at Work BC project, in cooperation with all of the sponsors, is to help address the unemployment rate for people who have a disability; at the same time, better inform business owners about the benefi ts and strong business case for becoming an inclusive employer and tapping into this growing de-mographic.
“Rotary at Work BC is good for the com-munity and everyone should be able to work if they wish to,” said Bill Robson, district governor for local Ro-tary District 5050.
Nomination dead-line is Sept. 9. To nominate an inclu-sive employer, visit http://tinyurl.com/o9rphud
Nominees and win-ners will be celebrated at the Innovative La-bour Solutions Awards dinner on Oct. 1 at Eaglequest Golf Course in Surrey. To attend the event, register on-line at http://awards.surreyrotary.ca
