City of White Rock ceases funding in favour of a regional tourism strategy

End of the line for Tourism White Rock

BNSF raises questions

‘Difficult’ to moverail routeAlex BrowneStaff Reporter

While moving BNSF’s tracks from the White Rock and South Sur-rey waterfront to an inland route was a frequently raised local issue during the recent federal election – and remains the subject of ongoing discussion between White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin and Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner – the jury is still out on whether it is a practical option, according to BNSF spokes-person Gus Melonas.

He reiterated the long-time offi-cial position of the U.S.-based rail-way to Peace Arch News on Friday.

“BNSF is willing to review any officially sanctioned plan to move the line,” he said.

But, he warned, Semiahmoo Pen-insula residents should not expect any steps to be taken soon.

“Realistically, it would be a very difficult undertaking,” he said. “We’re talking about moving an active rail line that is essential, that plays a critical role in the Canadian economy in moving goods as well as providing passenger service.”

And Melonas noted the company has made significant recent invest-ment in upgrading infrastructure in the existing corridor.

Inspired by Surrey

Open for business

The City of White Rock is hosting an invitation-only networking event tonight (Wednesday) in an effort to bring more business to the city.

The event was conceived by the economic investment committee, according to Mayor Wayne Bald-win, who told Peace Arch News Monday the reception was the first of its kind since he has been mayor.

“(The committee) thought it would be a good idea to invite people who are either property owners or who have businesses who might wish to relocate to White Rock and have them come in and have a reception and do some networking with exist-ing businesses and the mayor and council and staff,” Baldwin said.

He said the event was “a bit of a takeoff ” on the City of Surrey’s annual economic summit, which has seen such high-profile keynote speakers as U.S. presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush and Sir Richard Branson in past years.

“We couldn’t afford (former U.K.) prime minister Blair, though,” Baldwin joked. “So they’ll have to settle for the mayor and council.”

The city extended the invitation to about 70 people for the Wednes-day evening function, to take place at Blue Frog Studios on Johnston Road.

As of Monday afternoon, approx-imately 25 people had confirmed attendance, according to city staff.

Tourism White Rock will close its doors at the end of the year, following a council deci-sion Monday to adopt a new tourism strategy.

The initiative is the result of several months of consultation with the city’s tourism task force, city staff and a marketing consultant, and will see the city take over the delivery of tourism services, focus on regional market-

ing approaches and halt funding to Tourism White Rock, effective Dec. 31.

In attendance Monday evening was Tour-ism White Rock’s executive director Betina Albornoz – as well as some board members – who listened to a report and subsequent council discussion and vote, before leav-ing council chambers. Albornoz would not comment Monday evening, and calls were not returned by Peace Arch News press

deadline Tuesday, however a news release was issued that morning confirming that the Tourism White Rock Association will be dis-solved effective Jan. 1, 2016.

“This new model is a major shift towards placing greater levels of commitment, responsibility and accountability where it belongs: with key local stakeholders that directly, and greatly, benefit from a prosper-ous local White Rock tourism economy,”

Albornoz wrote in the release, calling her seven years working in the community an “amazing, inspiring journey.”

The report recommends the city close the uptown visitor centre – the current head-quarters of Tourism White Rock at 1459B Johnston Rd. – and pursue grants to main-tain the operation of the visitor kiosk on West Beach.

Surrey school trustees say the provincial government is forcing the district to participate in a money-saving measure that not only won’t save Surrey dollars, but may add costs in the long run.

The issue lies with the sharing of services between B.C. districts – an initiative of Bill 11, the Education Statutes Amendment Act passed earlier this year.

The idea is to reduce overhead in individual districts by sharing costs for services such as technology, transportation and legal services.

Trustee Terry Allen said Surrey recently learned it will be mandatory for the district to share labour relations and employee liability services.

“We have a huge labour-relations department that deals with all our grievances and staff concerns,” Allen said last week.

“At the end of the day, the Surrey School District will continue to do business as usual. But now we’re going to have to pay to be in the shared services.”

Allen, the district representative on B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, said the government has indicated sharing labour-relations services will save about $1-2 million annually for the province.

While sharing such services can benefit smaller school districts that have limited resources, Allen says there’s no advantage for Surrey.

“We’ve worked hard to become an efficient labour-relations department and we’ve saved millions.”

The province has indicated the first year of sharing labour-relations services will likely be free for districts, but it’s unclear how much each will have to pay after that.

Allen fears it’ll be based on enrolment and, as the largest school district in B.C., Surrey’s tab would be highest.

When Bill 11 was introduced, many boards voiced concerns about the legislation, saying it eroded their rights as elected officials.

“We have no problem with shared services, but boards should have a choice,” Allen said.

“I’m elected to decide what we will and will not spend money on. Basically, we’re being pushed into something.”

Last spring, then-education minister Peter Fassbender assured that boards would maintain “considerable autonomy” but made it clear all districts needed to participate in “finding efficiencies.”

Surrey has requested to meet with the CEO of BCPSEA, as well as the executive director of the Service Delivery Branch.

Ocean Park neighbours look for ways to prevent ‘monster homes’

Downzoning idea spreads out

Pension rules change

‘Soft landing’ for ex-MPs

Conservative MP Russ Hiebert’s career in federal politics may be at an end, but he’s looking at a comfortable retirement, thanks to his severance package.

The four-time South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale MP – who announced last year he wasn’t running – represented the now-redrawn riding starting in 2004.

Conservative Dianne Watts won the South Surrey-White Rock riding in last week’s federal election.

Hiebert, 46, served more than the minimum six years to qualify for what the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation (CTF) calls a lucrative “fat-cat” MP pension.

According to the CTF, he’ll receive $83,700 in immediate severance. His annual pension – which starts in 2024 – will be $55,643. That works out to a lifetime pension (to age 90) of $2,791,083.

The day after the Oct. 19 election, the CTF released its severance and pension figures for the 2015 federal election.

Out of the 75 MPs who retired or chose to not run again since 2011, 13 didn’t serve long enough to earn a pension, and Hiebert has the 22nd highest lifetime pension total.

Defeated Surrey NDP MPs, Jinny Sims (Newton-North Delta) and Jasbir Sandhu (Surrey-North), only served one term each, not long enough to qualify for MP pension. Sims will receive $86,650 in severance; Sandhu will get $83,700.

Conservative MP Nina Grewal, who went down to defeat in Fleetwood-Port Kells, has a lifetime payout of $2.52 million for 11 years of service.

“Losing an election can be tough, but most MPs will have a soft financial landing,” said CTF federal director Aaron Wudrick. “The good news is that thanks to the hard-fought pension reforms that take effect on Jan. 1, 2016, taxpayers will not have to shoulder as much of the burden in the future.”

For MPs who retired or were defeated on Oct. 19, taxpayers contributed $17 for every $1 put into the plan by an MP towards their pension. After Jan. 1, 2016, the ratio will gradually shift to $1.60 in taxpayer contributions for every $1 put in by an MP or senator.

The CTF favours a dollar-for-dollar matching formula now used in Saskatchewan and Ontario.

The recent success of Ocean Park residents in securing “downzoning” that limits the height and size of new housing in their neighbour-hood has others who live nearby hopeful they can achieve similar changes in their own micro-communities – and that the trend will catch on in other areas.

Nicole Nelson said a petition calling for a switch to comprehensive-development zon-ing for 10 blocks near Kwomais Point Park – approximately 200 lots between 128 and 130 streets, from 14 Avenue south to the water – received the support of 75 per cent of residents, and she expects the matter will go to public hearing sometime next spring.

The effort has been underway for about four months, Nelson said, but the latest push for-ward was inspired in part by last month’s adop-tion by Surrey council of similar zoning for the area between 128 and 126A streets, south from 16 Avenue to the park.

That bylaw, adopted Sept. 28, was drafted by the city in response to a petition from area resi-dents. It switches 148 lots in the neighbourhood from single-family residential (RF) zoning to a comprehensive-development (CD) zone, which

reduces the maximum size and height of houses permitted on the 5,000-square-foot lots to 2,600 square feet. Maximum height is now limited to 26.5 feet for a house with a steeply-sloping roof, while accessory buildings on each property can be no more than 16.5 feet high.

Longtime area resident Nadine Smith said the bylaw will help preserve the character of

the neighbourhood. And the process that led to it “really brought the community together.”

“We’ve actually had a really good thing going on in our community,” Smith told Peace Arch News.

Nelson said that as with the Kwomais group, residents in her neighborhood want to prevent more “monster houses” from being built. The move, she noted, will also reduce builders’ argu-ments around a need to remove more trees.

The need for change on the latter front was further driven home last week by clearcutting that got underway of about 75 trees on three lots that weren’t grandfathered into the latest bylaw, Nelson said.

Chainsaws roared to action on the morning of Oct. 19 on the 15 Avenue lots.

“It was so sad,” Nelson said. “People were commenting like crazy on our (Ocean Park Neighbours Facebook) page… how they could hear the eagles chirping away.”

Describing city staff as “so great” in respond-ing to previous resident initiatives, Nelson said she is hopeful the current downzoning effort will also find success.

The Wild West days of unlimited spending in municipal election campaigns are about to end.

The province is proposing election-spending limits on civic government, a move which is hoped to level the playing field in local politics.

The proposed spending limits are tallied on a per-capita basis and are expected be in effect for the 2018 civic election.

The permitted spending amounts vary by the size of each municipality according to a population-based formula.

It works out to $10,000 for mayoral candidates in cities of up to 10,000 people, rising to $89,250 for a population of 150,000, and reaching $149,250 for a city of 250,000.

An extra 15 cents per capita is added after 250,000 for the biggest cities.

Spending by councillors, regional district directors and school trustees would be capped at half the limit of mayors in their areas.

Based on White Rock’s population, the limit would be $17,386 for mayor and $8,693 for

a city councillor.In Surrey, the limit would be

$188,750 for mayor and $96,366 for a city councillor.

If the limits were in place last year, neither of White Rock’s two mayoral candidates would

have been affected, however, the six council candidates running with the White Rock Coalition – four of whom were elected – would have been restricted to a total of $52,159.35, rather than the combined $99,312.57 that the coalition submitted, and unsuccessful top-spending candidate

Dennis Lypka would have spent $2,000 less.

In Surrey, the rules would have imposed a cap on spending for all eight Surrey First councillors and mayor to $957,678.

It would have sliced about $250,000 from the spending by Surrey First in 2014, a coalition which spent $1.2 million winning all seats on council.

Mayor Linda Hepner told Black Press Friday that she’s comfortable with the proposed spending limits.

She described last year’s election as a “bit of an anomaly” as it was so hotly contested.

“In my 30 years experience…

it cost a little more than an ordinary general election,” Hepner said. “This last election was an expensive go-round.”

Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, Peter Fassbender said in a news release Thursday that the spending cap would increase with the cost of inflation.

“I think they’ve got this right,” said Dermod Travis, executive director for Integrity BC, adding the sliding scale of the formula reflects the different needs of small and large communities.

“It’s unfortunate the other half of the equation is not being tackled at the same time, which would be donations. But I think they’ve found a good middle for where those caps should be on expenses.”

If the cap had been in place for last year’s election, Surrey mayoral candidate Barinder Rasode would have overspent by $123,917.

She said in an interview that due to sign damage and other incidentals, her group, One Surrey, spent more than it intended. Nonetheless, Rasode said she welcomes the provincial move to cap election expenses.

“I think it’s really important to have election-spending limits,” Rasode said.

She said the proposed legislation is a great start, but there needs to be further reforms to election conduct. She also wants to see a ban on election signs “for sustainability reasons, but also cost reasons.”

Rasode said the spending limits being introduced create a “level playing field” for independents and others who might not have the same access to capital.

“I’m actually really proud of the campaign we ran,” Rasode said.

Asked if she would run again in 2018, Rasode wouldn’t rule it out.

“In three years, we will be looking at a very different Surrey,” Rasode said. “That decision is not one that I have to make right now.”

Fassbender noted limits were brought about by wishes of both voters and candidates.

The recommendations were developed by a special legislative committee and have support of both the BC Liberals and NDP, as well as the Union of B.C. Municipalities.

The expense limits would apply from Jan. 1 of the election year until voting day.

The government is expected to table the bill on local election spending in the fall sitting of the B.C. legislature.

Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner will travel to China on a trade mission this week.

Hepner will be joining B.C. Premier Christy Clark on the trade mission that runs from Oct. 30 to Nov. 7.

Mission delegates will visit Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hong Kong.

The focus will highlight several pri-ority sectors in B.C., including infor-mation and communications technol-ogy, digital entertainment, clean tech-nology, agrifood, seafood and liquid natural gas.

The trade mission will also focus on transit and transportation infra-structure and technology, a corporate report to council adopted last week states.

The cost of Hepner’s participation in the mission will be $20,000 for flight, food, hotels and meals. It will be covered within the mayor’s annual budget.

“I’m going to be having a lot of investor meetings and a lot of politi-cal meetings as well,” Hepner said last week.

The mayors of Metro Vancouver’s two biggest cities may not hang on to their influential posts overseeing TransLink in 2016 after leading this year’s transit funding plebiscite to a disastrous defeat.

Vancouver’s Gregor Robertson and Surrey’s Linda Hepner are the respective chair and vice-chair of the Mayors’ Council on Regional Transportation, and as a result they also sit as directors on the Trans-Link board.

Metro mayors will vote by early January on who should hold those seats next year.

Both the mayors’ council leader-ship positions and the TransLink board directorships bring major additional duties and consume large amounts of time.

Hepner told Black Press she is unsure whether she will seek another year, acknowledging the com-mitment required. How-ever, she said she plans to stay on as vice-chair until the end of her term.

“I am 100 per cent com-mitted to the Mayors’ Council,” she said.

Robertson and Hepner took on

the roles for 2015 in large part because their cities had the most

to gain from new rapid-transit projects if a pro-posed 0.5 per cent sales tax was approved, and it was thought they’d be influen-tial in persuading Surrey and Vancouver residents to vote ‘yes’.

But the plebiscite was defeated – just 34 per cent supported the tax hike in Surrey.

Delta Mayor Lois Jackson challenged Hepner for vice-chair in the last mayors’ council elec-tion, arguing she would have more

time than the newly elected Surrey mayor.

Jackson doesn’t rule out letting her name stand again.

“I’m sure there will be people wanting to vie for those positions,” she said. “I’ll have to think about it. It’s a big job.”

Jackson said she continues to believe it’s important to have strong representation from South of the Fraser on the mayors’ council.

Metro mayors warned the prov-ince after the referendum defeat that they might disband the mayors’ council and abdicate their respon-sibility for TransLink unless more governance reforms are soon made

to the transportation authority.A new CEO is still being recruited.Despite that, Jackson said she

believes the mayors must carry on and do what they can to improve TransLink and defend the interests of local residents.

Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore, who chairs the Metro Van-couver board, said he doesn’t intend to seek either of the two seats.

Hepner noted the Mayors’ Coun-cil of TransLink is “critically impor-tant” to her, but “there are other things pulling at my coat tails.

“I am assessing my time,” she said. “I have made no firm commitment one way or another.”

Elected officials usually have no difficulty finding a political issue and staying on track.

But when it comes to their various proposals to relocate the rail line that’s bordered the Semiahmoo Peninsula waterfront this past century, they’re getting way off course.

Proponents of BNSF relocation – who’ve been raising the spectre of impending disaster increasingly since the 2013 Lac-Mégantic train tragedy in Quebec – say it’s well worth the hundreds of millions of dollars estimated to realign the route inland.

However, the politicians who have backed their plan – at least at various levels in the past – might be causing more harm than good for the communities they serve.

Take Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner, who launched her successful run for the city’s highest office last year by telling Crescent Beach residents that if elected she would immediately engage in discussions with BNSF to have the tracks moved to a more direct, faster, safer route.

Now, as of last week, she says realignment is worthy of consideration, but only if the tracks move underground.

Take White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin, who has made train issues a priority through both of his terms. While he’s been more steadfast on the issue than Hepner, he hasn’t done his proponents any favours by repeatedly provoking railway partners: last year, in open council, he famously referred to a safety inspector as a “petty little bureaucrat”; he oversaw a “permanently closed” gate at the boat launch that was unlocked and abandoned a few days later; and, just last month, he told council that Transport Canada “laid down the law” to BNSF with regards to train-horn blasts in the middle of the night.

None of these apparent ‘miscommunications’ have helped.

Lastly, incoming-MP Dianne Watts launched her federal campaign in South Surrey-White Rock by making rail safety a priority; this after, as Surrey mayor, she long studied the issue and presented to residents four alternate track routes elsewhere in her city.

Now, she says only that rail relocation may be a part of her safety initiative.

While it’s clear all three leaders have their communities’ best interests at heart, we suggest they meet publicly to discuss any realistic options.

Anything less looks rather misdirected.

Get back onthe right track

Published by Black Press Ltd. at 200-2411 160 Street, Surrey, B.C.

opinionPeace Arch News

VICTORIA – The scandal of the week at the B.C. legislature is what could be termed “delete-gate.”

Primarily, it revolves around 36 pages of government emails that the NDP opposition has been trying for a year to get under freedom of information legislation. They relate to a series of meetings between transportation ministry bureaucrats and remote communities along Highway 16, between Prince George and Prince Rupert.

If you want all of the accusations about government secrecy and alleged cover-ups, I invite you to read “Access Denied,” the latest report of the Information and Privacy Commissioner at www.oipc.bc.ca (see page 8), and transcripts of question period in the legislature this week.

What you won’t find there is much discussion of the actual problem, which is a shortage of safe and practical transportation options in and out of these communities, most of which are federally funded aboriginal reserves far from the region’s only highway.

What we have seen for decades is a dramatic media narrative about one or more serial killers preying on vulnerable

women hitch-hiking along what is now known world-wide as the Highway of Tears.

The Wikipedia entry for Highway of Tears gives a sense of the credibility of

this narrative. It begins with the unsolved murder of Gloria Moody, last seen leaving a bar in Williams Lake in 1969. That’s a long way from Highway 16.

Then there was Monica Jack, killed in 1978. DNA technology resulted in a charge finally being laid last year against a known serial rapist. This was even further away, near Merritt, and she was a 12-year-old riding her bike. Other cases involve street prostitution in and around Prince George, an urban hub for a large aboriginal population

similar to Regina and Winnipeg.Discussion in Victoria focuses on urban

notions of increased transit, in places where existing service may be underused. Nationally, the narrative is that deep-seated social problem s within aboriginal communities would somehow be solved by a lawyer-heavy judicial inquiry that looks only at tragedies involving women.

If you drive Highway 16 today, you will see fading billboards pleading for information on the disappearance of

Madison Scott. She was last seen in the early hours of May 28, 2011, after a grad party in the woods outside Vanderhoof. Her truck and tent were still there. Again, nothing to do with hitch-hiking, but at least it was near Highway 16.

Here’s something else you won’t often hear in the Highway of Tears melodrama. There is commercial bus service on Highway 16, although Greyhound reduced frequency in 2013 as it struggles with low ridership and high costs.

BC Transit also operates bus service to some remote communities like Kispiox and Gitsegukla, connecting them south to Smithers. But BC Transit requires local governments and riders to cover about half the cost. Indian Act reserves don’t pay.

North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice has noted that what people in remote communities ask for is a way to get back and forth for shopping and medical appointments.

Yes, shopping is an important need, as those who live in remote areas can tell you. And Northern Health already runs a bus service for remote residents who need medical care.

Rice’s observations at least move us toward practical solutions, although most of her effort seems directed towards political blame.

I hope the infamous 36 pages of emails are eventually released, since they were not deleted but rather excluded from release. They may bring the discussion back to the actual public service issue, which is what realistic transportation options exist for these communities.

An open letter to the 25.56 per cent who did not vote Oct. 19.

74.44 per cent of us made it out to vote; where were you?

Did you not have time? Or were you disillusioned by the candidates?

What if we no longer called it politics? What if we called it ‘your life’? Then would you be interested?

Voting is the least any person living in a democratic nation can

do. Not voting is not an answer.Fatalism by thinking your vote

does not matter is not an answer. You are a citizen of this country, and your voice does matter.

Problem is, if you don’t exercise your democratic right, your voice is silenced.Steven Hughes, White Rock

Well, we did it again and have successfully transitioned to our new government in a peaceful and positive way. Yay, Canada.

Now we can get back to promoting the kind of entertainment that my organization, Peninsula Productions, offers – fine music and theatre – in

lieu of political farce. But I’m left with a serious question: the signs.

For weeks our neighbourhoods were defaced with signs, which were then themselves defaced. By what right do politicians get to do this?

If my organization were to plaster the highways and byways with our posters – which are much more artistically pleasing than any politician’s sign – would the community find that acceptable? Would it be OK for us to get upset when other arts organizations defaced our signs?

I doubt it, and we don’t plan to explore this possibility. What a funny world politicians live in, eh.

So we won’t be cluttering up the neighbourhoods and you’ll just have to look for our posters in places where we are given explicit permission to post them, or follow us online to hear about the wonderful events that we have coming up as we do our small part to make sure that democracy and good government continue to flourish in this wonderful country.Geoff Giffin, White Rock

Relocating a line into someone else’s neighbourhood is an insult to each

and every taxpayer in these respective

communities.Stephen Morris

Relocating the track will make life

better for everyone.Erik Seiz

Submissions will be edited for clarity, brevity, legality

and taste.

Editor:Re: Moving tracks ‘does little for Surrey’, Oct. 23.

Way before any houses were built along the waterfront of White Rock, the railway company established a track running from Vancouver down along the southern coast of B.C. and into the U.S.

A station was erected and White Rock became an established stop along the route. People built houses along the hillside, knowing the train – whistle and all – would run by.

When you look at old pictures, you see that there are no houses on the hillside above the train tracks. Now, it is chock-a-block full of houses, townhouses, condos and cabins all vying for the best view of the ocean.

So why are we crying about a concrete fact like a railway track that was laid down before we came into the picture? We are like the folks who raced to build houses near the airport and then screamed foul about the noise of the aircraft overhead.

Now we are demanding that billions of dollars, taxpayers’ dollars, be spent so we don’t have to listen to a train whistle. Hello!

If the track is moved, where should it be relaid? In your backyard? Down the middle of the freeway? In your neighbour’s backyard? Underground?

The populace of this area long decries the lack of suitable venues for a railroad track to be laid that does not interfere with anyone’s life.

Maybe it’s time for this ‘selfie’ world to realize that there are more important issues in life than catering to our latest whims.James Milne, White Rock

Rail relocation is not just about Crescent Beach and White Rock.

If the most obvious option for the new route is chosen – along the Highway 99 right-of-way – the realigned track will be five kilometres shorter and train travel time will be 30 minutes quicker. Less fuel, less time, less waste.

The economic benefits of this shorter, faster rail route with its additional capacity are overwhelming. There is no doubt that BNSF will be a willing partner.

This is a ‘win’ for Port Metro

Vancouver, as well. Containers are going to move between China and U.S./Canada. The question is whether these transfers occur at a U.S. port or at Deltaport. A north-south rail superhighway improves access to the U.S. market, allowing PMV to secure its future as the key handler of lucrative container traffic. A shorter, faster, twin-tracked route will not only be safer for BNSF and the surrounding communities, it will give a return on investment. It will support expansion of Canada-U.S. trade. It will complement PMV’s investment in Roberts Bank and secure Canada’s economic relevance for the next 100 years.

This is a ‘win’ for all Canadians.At a time when the newly elected

Liberal government is looking at improving infrastructure, relocating the BNSF line is a clever strategic initiative. In fact, it’s integral to securing the future relevance of our ports which benefits all of us in the Lower Mainland, the whole province and the rest of Canada.H. Newman, White Rock

Your news item brings to the forefront the obvious lack of railway transportation knowledge the mayors of Surrey, White Rock and the MP-designate, Dianne Watts, have on this important subject.

The rail line in question is the railway’s main link between Canada and the U.S. and serves as both a major import and export route.

Burlington Northern recently spent several millions of dollars for major safety upgrading the rail line on both sides of the border and would not have done this with any expectation of moving it in the near future.

Of note is that the Canadian Transportation Authority cited in the article has no legal authority to order a railway to move its operations. Any railway line relocation has to be a joint agreement between the outside parties and the railway involved.

While everyone points at the Lac-Mégantic incident as a cause for fearmongering and the basis for relocation, it should be noted that until that incident, there had not been a major derailment involving regulated commodities that involved a civilian death in Canada.

Lac-Mégantic was not a result of a train in operation derailing but a series of human-related activities that culminated in a parked train rolling away. That scenario could never happen in the White Rock area.

White Rock and Surrey are not unique. Trains operate safely through thousands of major cities and rural towns every day. Vancouver itself has four major railways crisscrossing every part of the Lower Mainland with the same commodities.

The facts are clear that moving any product by rail is not only more environmentally efficient but also the safest mode. The movement by rail of these regulated commodities, which are essential to our daily lives, far surpasses having them on our highways and city streets.

Then comes the fact that both municipalities are proposing spending $700,000 taxpayer dollars on a study that will bear no fruit.

BNSF has been gracious enough to allow the City of White Rock to use its land and have walking paths and beach access. It might be legally wiser for them to cancel those leases and allow no public access, thereby

increasing safety and reducing the risk of public/railway incidents.

In addition, simply relocating a line into someone else’s neighbourhood is an insult to each and every taxpayer in these respective communities.

Both communities should question the true underlying motive for this push to relocate the rail line. Stephen Morris, Surrey

The best 15 kilometres of land in Canada lies along Surrey’s untouched foreshore between White Rock and Crescent Beach. It has the best weather, south exposure and views of the Gulf Islands and Mount Baker.

Few people have seen it because the railway prevents them access.

The Boundary Bay foreshore is the backyard to everyone living south of the Fraser River. Unlocking this national treasure is a benefit to us all, including those who should not have to drive to Stanley Park or the islands to have a world-class seaside escape.

Moving the track will connect the bay beaches to the Delta dyke, allowing a currently isolated ocean playground to be easily accessed. After completion of the new Massey bridge, Richmond, New Westminster, and Vancouver will also be part of this enhanced recreational system. Working together, B.C. will then have created an iconic green corridor from downtown Vancouver to the border, which will have a lasting positive lifestyle and economic benefit for the whole province.

Relocating the track will make life better for everyone. If better is possible, why would we not try exploring that option?Erik Seiz, Surrey

BC Liberal staffer resigns following testimony of email deletion

RCMP to probe officialTom FletcherBlack Press

A BC Liberal political staffer has resigned and his conduct has been referred to the RCMP by the Information and Privacy Com-missioner after an investigation of his deletion of government emails that were being requested under freedom-of-information laws.

Commissioner Elizabeth Den-ham said three investigations showed records were intention-ally destroyed to avoid public release. One of those requests was for records related to public hear-ings on risks of travelling along Highway 16 in northern B.C.

Citizens’ Services Minister

Amrik Virk told reporters the reference to the RCMP is related to transportation ministry staffer George Gretes testifying under oath to the commissioner.

Denham said Gretes lied about his actions while under oath.

Virk said the government has accepted Gretes’ resignation and has called on former informa-tion and privacy commissioner David Loukidelis to respond to Denham’s finding that records were routinely deleted in viola-tion of freedom-of-information legislation.

Denham started investigating the Highway 16 information request after a complaint from

Tim Duncan after Duncan left his job as executive assistant to Transportation Minister Todd Stone.

Duncan told the commissioner that Gretes deleted a series of emails from Duncan’s office computer in December 2014 after they were requested under freedom-of-information law.

Stone told reporters Thursday he has also “triple-deleted” his own emails and that he disagrees with Denham’s interpretation of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.

“I adhere to the act,” Stone said. “I expect all of my staff to adhere to the act.”

Premier Christy Clark has ordered all cabinet ministers and political staff to keep every email they send until new procedures are in place to decide what is nec-essary for the public record and freedom-of-information requests.

Clark issued the instruction Friday after B.C.’s Information and Privacy Commissioner con-demned the widespread practice of “triple-deleting” emails so they can’t be stored in daily backups.

Commissioner Elizabeth Denham said her investigation showed records were intentionally destroyed to avoid public release.

Clark said she accepts Denham’s recommendations, but there are different legal opinions on what is a “transitory document” that is required to be destroyed and a record that is required to be kept.

“We thought – I thought – that everything was being done prop-erly, and that’s because there has been really almost no change in the way things have been done

for a decade,” Clark said.NDP Leader John Horgan said

the investigation shows the con-duct of BC Liberal government staffers, including the premier’s deputy chief of staff Michele Cadario, reveals “a culture of deception, a culture of deceit, a culture of delete, delete, delete.”

Clark said she is taking no action against Cadario, who told Denham she deletes almost all of

her sent emails every day. Clark now wants everything kept until former privacy commissioner and deputy attorney general David Loukidelis reviews the situation and decides what must stay and what must go.

Clark said she seldom uses email for official business, pre-ferring face-to-face meetings, phone calls and official records kept for cabinet and committees.

A substance dumped in a South Sur-rey pond earlier this month is believed to have been oil-based black paint.

According to a Ministry of Environ-ment spokesperson, the exact pollut-ant remains unidentified, however, the conclusion to date was “based on the consistency of the product in the pond and how it was recovered.”

Sixteen mallards were rescued from the pond, located on property in the 18800-block of 8 Avenue, starting Oct. 7, after officials with Burnaby-based Wildlife Rescue Association were alerted to a sheen on the water.

The cleanup effort recovered approx-imately 55 gallons of oily paint/water, however, a call to the ministry’s spills

line on Oct. 16 indicated further potential pollution, the spokesperson said by email last week.

While the culprit behind the pol-lution has also not been identified, the property management company responsible for the pond has “taken all appropriate response measures to ensure the risk has been mitigated.”

If identified, the person or persons responsible could be subject to penal-ties under the Environment Manage-ment Act: a fine of up to $1 million and/or up to six months in jail.

The rescued ducks were to start being released back to the wild last Wednesday.

The old Port Mann Bridge has now been completely dismantled, although two of its concrete footings have been left in place.

It’s been nearly three years of com-plex, technical work by engineers and crews to carefully take apart the span since the new 10-lane Port Mann Bridge opened to traffic in December 2012.

Sections of the bridge were removed piece by piece, in reverse order to how it was first built in 1964. Mate-rial was lowered to barges or trucks and removed for recycling, including 18,000 tonnes of structural steel.

Crews first removed the deck, then the girders on the bridge’s approach and the iconic steel arch gradually came down between spring of 2014 and this summer.

Most of the concrete pedestals that

formed the foundation of the bridge were taken out so they do not pose a navigation hazard for vessel traffic on the river.

The two remaining pedestals – one on the western tip of Tree Island and the other on the south bank of the Fraser River – were left in place to prevent erosion and provide habitat for fish and wildlife.

Port Mann desconstruction took three years

Under the new model, an 11-member tourism advisory committee – yet to be named – will recommend an annual tour-ism marketing plan, for approval and funding by the city, accord-ing to Suzanne Denbak, a con-sultant with Cadence Strategies.

“To implement that plan once it’s been approved, contracted service providers would be engaged through a selection pro-cess for both destination market-ing services and the operation of the White Rock visitor centres,” Denbak said.

Denbak said the plan would reduce admin-istrative costs, provide better transparency and help to “re-engage key partners who have with-drawn funding over the past few years.” Shifting focus to a more regional tourism approach, with co-operative partner-ships among multiple communi-ties, is a trend Destination BC is gravitating towards, Denbak said.

In addition to a $175,000 com-mitment from the city, she said funding may be secured from the

White Rock Business Improve-ment Association, the South Sur-rey & White Rock Chamber of Commerce, corporate sponsor-

ship and Destination BC and Service Canada grants.

In March, during a public hearing on the city’s 2015-’19 draft financial plan, Albornoz warned that if the city couldn’t commit more funding it would be “the end of Tourism White Rock as we know it.”

The city had budgeted $79,800 for 2015 – half of

what was provided in 2014 – and Mayor Wayne Baldwin told Albornoz the projected operat-ing costs of $300,000 were “a bit excessive.”

Albornoz said the city had con-

tributed about $700,000 since Tourism White Rock launched in 2008, while the association had raised $1.6 million through grants and sponsorships, something she described as “a fantastic return.”

A month later, Albornoz con-firmed the cancellation of a sum-mer trolley service, noting the need to “scale down” operations.

In voting on Monday’s recom-mendations – which included establishment of the tourism advisory committee – Coun. David Chesney was the lone opposition vote. (Coun. Helen Fathers was absent.)

“Quite obviously, we’re going to blow up White Rock Tourism and start afresh, it would appear that seems to be the direction that you’re recommending,” Chesney said to Denbak and the city’s director of recreation and cultural services, Eric Stepura.

Others on council took the opportunity to thank Albornoz for the “fantastic job” she did at the helm of White Rock Tourism.

“She’s done truly an outstanding job, she brought a lot of fire and energy to the role,” Baldwin said. “Betina, thank you so much for all that you’ve done. Great job.”

news

That includes $5-10 million spent in the last three years alone, among it a $1.5-million upgrade of the Little Campbell River bridge.

Ongoing improvements to tres-tles in the Mud Bay area will amount to $15 million, he added.

“And we’re beginning construc-tion plans to replace another trestle which will be completed next year, for another $5 million.”

Moving the tracks from the current alignment, he said, is “easier said than done.”

“It would be extremely expen-sive and the big question is where you’d be moving it to.”

A staff report to Surrey council estimates that a technical study of moving the tracks would cost at least $700,000.

The same report, supported by council – which has asked staff to investigate cost sharing for a fea-sibility study with the province and White Rock – estimates that actually moving the tracks could cost $350-450 million, and much more if the new route involved underground construction.

South Surrey-White Rock MP-elect Dianne Watts – an advocate, as Surrey mayor, for moving the route – has suggested plans for anticipated high-speed service between Seattle and Vancouver may force the issue of realigning the route.

Melonas declined to discuss that possibility, however, defer-ring to Amtrak to comment on the status of high-speed service between the two cities.

Official comment from Amtrak was not forthcoming at press time.

perspectives…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

There will be plenty of opportunity for ghouls and goblins to celebrate this weekend, as Halloween festivities take place around the Semiahmoo Peninsula.

Costumed children 12 and under are invited to Semiahmoo Shopping Centre Halloween night (Oct. 31), where they can trick or treat at the mall’s participating merchants.

Donations will be accepted during the festivities – which run from 5 to 6 p.m. – and will go towards the Surrey Firefighters Charitable Society.

Historic Stewart Farm has Halloween offerings in the works for this week, including a classic horror movie night on Friday (Oct. 30). The farm will be screening the first-ever zombie movie – White Zombie (1932) – inside the

‘haunted’ farm house, with popcorn and hot chocolate included. Cost is $5.50, open to those 13 and older.

The following day, the farm will open its creaky doors to the public for Heritage Family Day from 12-4 p.m. Admission is by donation for this event, which will include All Hallow’s Eve traditions, ‘fate cake’ tasting and spooky crafts.

Continuing their tradition of terror, Potter’s House of Horrors is back with two haunted houses – the Ripper of Whitechapel and the Swampin’ Slaughterhouse.

The houses (12530 72 Ave.) are open nightly through Saturday from 6-10 p.m., with family hour – without actors – from 5-6 p.m.

Surrey Museum (17710 56A Ave.) is hosting Pumpkin Power Halloween day, from 11:30-2 p.m.

Participants can design their take-home jack-o-lantern, go on a spooky scavenger hunt and compete for best costume.

ABOUT MY BUSINESS…• Personal Stylist and

Hair Colour Specialist

If you are 55 or older I have a question for you…You may have seen your hairdresserBut did they see you?As we age we often forget that we need to reassess ourselves in terms of how we do our hair, make-up etc. because the reality of aging is that our features are changing.

As an experienced hairdresser/teacher/salon owner it distresses me when I see women who are my age or older with hairstyles that fail to do credit to the natural changes to our features that come with aging.

When that happens it fails to refl ect the inner woman who has not changed; we laugh, we love, and are intelligent, capable and vibrant!!!

For example…My mother lives in the interior so I do not see her on a regular basis. She is one of the most beautiful women I know and she is 82. When I see her haircut it is not done to match her changing features it’s always some version of ‘not quite right.’

The fi rst thing I do is assess the changes in my mothers features and correct the cut so that it not only refl ects the best of her features at 82, but also that lively, funny, intelligent women that has not aged with those features.

It matters… I appreciate how vibrant, intelligent and beautiful my clients are and most of them are over the age of 55 and well into their 70’s or over.

Getting older is not about inner change; we are the same women, it is about normal incremental structural change.

You deserve consultations that constantly up date and re-examine your features; you deserve hair color that does more than cover the grey, it must enhance your skin tone, eye color and bring out your lips.

Call me today as I would love to meet with you and help you discover the perfect hair style best suited for you!

The City of Surrey has a Poet Laureate.

The inaugural appointee – Van-couver resident Renée Sarojini Saklikar – was announced last Thursday.

Saklikar is the author of chil-dren of air india, un/autho-rized exhibits and interjections – a book-length poem about the bombing of Air India flight 182 – which won the Canadian Authors Award for best book of Canadian poetry to be published in English and was a finalist for the B.C. Book prize Dorothy Livesay award.

“A strong foundation of arts and culture is the hallmark of a thriving City,” Mayor Linda Hep-ner said in a statement. “As Sur-rey’s first Poet Laureate, Renée Sarojini Saklikar will creatively engage and connect with our community and will be a strong advocate for literacy and the lit-erary arts.”

The two-year position comes with an annual honorarium of $5,000, plus $1,000 for travel costs.

Ten people applied for the job, according to Meghan Savage, a Surrey librarian and co-ordina-tor of the Surrey Poet Laureate project.

The lawyer-turned-writer found poetry through trauma. Her aunt and uncle, both doctors

who lived in India, were killed along with everyone else aboard the infamous Air India flight.

“I’ve had some terrible things happen in my life, some trau-matic things,” Saklikar told Black Press, “but I’ve also been very privileged in my life, too. I’ve had the luck and grace to have con-nections with many people, and those supports are certainly in Surrey. I can tell you that I wrote my first book on the kitchen table of a dear, dear friend of mine in South Surrey.”

Saklikar is one of three National Advocates for The Writer’s Union of Canada and a member of the League of Canadian Poets. Her

poetry investigates, celebrates and memorializes the poetry of place, in particular, stories inte-gral to arrival, departure, settle-ment and diaspora.

Savage said Saklilar “dem-onstrates a strong passion and enthusiasm for connecting the people of Surrey through poetry.”

Sakilar is to host writing con-sultations on the second Friday of the month, with dates set for City Centre Library (Nov. 13 and Dec. 11), followed by a South Surrey location in 2016. To book a writing consultation, email [email protected]

With just a couple weeks to go before their biannual linen sale, volunteers with Peace Arch Hos-pital Auxiliary Society’s Kwat-cha Group are busy organizing a plethora of items, including collectibles.

“My whole bedroom is full of them, hundreds of them,” group member Carol Gobin said of the small and round tablecloths she has been charged with sorting

for the sale.“We have received a lot more

this year.”The sale, set for Nov. 6 (9:30

a.m. to 3 p.m.) and 7 (9 a.m. to 1 p.m.) at First United Church in White Rock, is the group’s 33rd. Since 1999, it has raised “a good $150,000” for the hospital.

Group member Diane Perrie said the linens, bedding and col-lectibles that will be up for grabs

over the two days next month are “fantastic.”

Donations are still being accepted, Perrie added. For more information, call 604-535-3090 or 604-531-1850.

Donations may also be dropped off to the society’s Superfluity Shop, at 15163 Prospect Ave.

First United Church is located at 15385 Semiahmoo Ave.

Your Fitness ExpertWhat is the best way to lose weight?

Many people believe that in order to loose weight they have to exercise nearly every day of the week, but that is not the case. For weight loss 70% is done in the kitchen (diet), and 30% in the gym (exercise). There is the famous quote that “ab’s are made in the kitchen, not in the gym”. Diet is crucial for a healthy lifestyle, and no matter how much you exercise if you have a poor diet it will defeat the purpose of your workouts. Every other day is a great workout routine as it allows your body to rest and recover. Coccoloba Health Club offers personalized fi tness solutions with a range of fi tness equipment. Our personal trainers can customize a fi tness program that will get you going in the right direction. Come see Shaun or drop by today for a tour of our facility.

So what is the defi nition of an expert? Some one once told me it was someone who knows one more thing than you or I. So now that I have your attention how about taking the short cut to learning to dance. Private dance lessons are the smart answer. Oh but it is so much money you say! No it’s not when you consider the big picture. You can spend a little in group classes and learn at the slower speed of the class or you can cut to the chase and learn exactly what you want. How is it that I can turn out a wedding couple in 5 private lessons to do their First Dance Song? It’s easy when you have a goal and you don’t waste any time, by doing it right the fi rst time. Everything I ever did well in life I took private lessons in whether it be drumming, martial arts or dancing. Consider that after you learn how to dance you will know 100 times more than those people standing by wondering how you do it. Now YOU are the expert for only $290 for 5 lessons. Makes a great Christmas gift too. Certifi cates available now.

Q:A:

Natalie & Brian

Your Family Service Consultant ExpertCan I pre-arrange my fi nal wishes?Absolutely, you can. What a loving and thoughtful gift to give your loved ones. If you have no family, you can ensure your fi nal wishes are respected. Every life deserves to be honoured and celebrated, whether it’s a simple cremation to a Memorial Service or Celebration, even a party, to a traditional funeral. When you choose what’s right for you, it’s a wise decision to make your arrangements in advance. This eliminates guesswork and the need for family to cover the cost. You can pre-arrange everything from funeral to cemetery. By doing your pre-arrangements in advance, you lock today’s prices in and don’t have to worry about increasing costs in the future. It’s an essential step to estate planning. Payment plans are available for both funeral & cemetery arrangements. We offer National Transferability, a 100% service guarantee, travel & relocation protection, child/grandchild protection and bereavement travel.

Your Advertising ExpertWhat is the key to successful advertising?

Many often wonder what the answer to successful advertising is. There are many aspects that contribute but one in particular makes a huge difference… Consistency! One must be consistent for others to remember them. Placing just one ad and expecting a large response is not realistic. People need to see you, your name, your logo, repetitively for them to remember your business. Now, being consistent does not mean you need to have a huge budget with the largest of ads, it simply means you need to have something running on a regular basis for your business to be remembered so that you may build your brand. Call us at the Peace Arch News and we will help you build your business!

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is a researched based method of treating anxiety. It is one of the most effective treatments for conditions with symptoms of anxiety or depression. CBT focuses on how you think about yourself, the world and other people. It is used to help you understand that how you think (cognitive) and what you do (behaviour) both impact how you feel.

It is the philosophy of the practice that each person is unique and treatment plans are tailored for each individual. CBT is only one of the many methods of treatment used by the therapists in the practice for treating anxiety or depression.

Your Beauty ExpertWhat is DERMAPLANING?

Dermaplaning is a method of exfoliation that consists of using a 10

gauge scalpel to gently scrape off the top layer of dulling dead skin cells in order to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion.This treatment is a favorite in the entertainment industry, specifi cally among models and actresses. Why? It also eliminates that annoying peach fuzz that cakes up in makeup and can be enhanced by harsh production lighting and high-defi nition cameras. Dermaplaning allows for greater penetration of skincare products and creates a fl awless canvas for makeup to glide on smoothly. This treatment is recommended for all skin types except those with acne. This is a great treatment if you are pregnant or nursing and want exfoliation without the risk of harsh chemicals absorbing into the blood stream and potentially harming your baby. Dermaplaning is a painless procedure and can be done in under 45 minutes for a cost of $ 149. There are no side effects and zero downtime. You’ll immediately look more radiant with a more even skin tone and texture. All of your peach fuzz will be gone, which is why fi rst-timers say their skin has never felt so soft before.

What are some conditions that can benefi t from Acupuncture?Some of common conditions which can benefi t from acupuncture are acute & chronic pain, addiction, allergies, anxiety, arthritis, asthma, autoimmune disorders, common colds, depression, digestive disorders, headaches, infertility, & insomnia.

When should a person consider getting Acupuncture?A person should consider getting acupuncture whenever they feel their body is feeling run down which makes them more susceptible to illness. At this time of year a few visits to your acupuncturist can do wonders to help keep colds and flus away. It is best used as a preventative medicine to boost immunity and manage stress levels.

Should a person include Acupuncture as part of their preventive wellness program?Yes, it should be part of everyone’s preventative wellness program as it is effective at relieving pain, reducing inflammation, & restoring homeostasis within the body. It can work collaboratively with other preventative systems such as massage therapy, chiropractics, and naturopathic medicine to help keep people in an optimal state of health.

Are there any unique conditions that can be helped by Acupuncture that are not widely discussed or known about?Here are a few conditions that do not receive enough attention: 1. Acupuncture is effective at reducing shingles pain that is often very severe and

debilitating. 2. It can be used to help prevent the some of the side effects of chemotherapy such as

fatigue, nausea, and vomiting. 3. Recently, it is commonly used in anti-aging treatments such as facial rejuvenation which

is a natural alternative to a face lift.

Tom ZytarukBlack Press

A new trial has been ordered for a man who was convicted of dangerous driving after the appeal court found the trial judge had erred in finding he was actually the driver.

The B.C. Court of Appeal found the judge’s reasoning was flawed in finding Gregory Joseph Scuby was behind the wheel at the time the vehicle was being driven dangerously.

“The trial judge drew a number of inferences from the evidence and, relying on those inferences, concluded that the only rational conclusion to be drawn from the evidence as a whole was that the appellant was the driver of the vehicle when it was being operated in a manner dangerous to the public,” Justice Gregory Fitch noted.

The Auto Crime

Target Team in Surrey spotted a pickup truck with stolen plates parked on 59 Avenue, on March 27, 2012. Police described the man in the car as white, in his late 20s or early 30s, clean-shaven with short dark hair, wearing a black leather jacket, handling a cellphone and “acting sleepy.”

The surveillance officers say the driver moved the 1990s red GMC Sonoma twice. At one point it was parked under an overpass. Police decided to do a “roadside stop” and the Sonoma sped off, its driver performing dangerous manoeuvres that imperiled other motorists.

Police then spotted what they believed to be the same vehicle in Coquitlam, and again lost sight of it.

Seven hours later, they found Scuby asleep in the driver’s seat of an illegally parked vehicle in Port Moody and arrested him.

Despite the behaviour of the driver in Surrey and Scuby in Port Moody being “both peculiar and similar,” Fitch noted, the trial judge erred in finding they were one and the same based on the circumstantial evidence before the court.

“I would allow the appeal and order a new trial,” Fitch decided.

Justices Elizabeth Bennett and John Savage concurred.

THIS IS THE LIFEThe Seniors Health Network

each month poses a question to health-care

professionals. This month, the following

hypothetical question was posed to Cari Hoffmann, Fraser Health’s co-ordinator of advance care planning:

My husband and I are both aging although we are still healthy and well. We should be making arrangements for the time when we are not well or when one of us is approaching death. But we don’t know quite where to start?

The process of reflection and communication – thinking about what you enjoy in life and what activities give your life meaning, and sharing these thoughts with those people you are close with – is the beginning of the process called ‘advance care planning.’

Many people think this kind of planning is solely about medical procedures – whether you would want to be resuscitated if your

heart stopped, or ventilated if you were unable to breathe on your own, or fed by tube if you were unable to swallow. Yes, researching treatment options that you may face in the future because of particular illnesses you have could be part of the advance care

planning process. But for most of us, deciding this ahead of time is difficult.

That is why I suggest you start the process of establishing your future care wishes by asking yourself these fundamental questions:

What matters most to me? What does living well mean?

Identify your current values and beliefs, now, while you are healthy. If you focus on your values, questions like ‘Do I want to be hooked up to a machine, or be tube fed?’ become less relevant. The focus shifts to, ‘What gives my life meaning and how will an intervention support it?’

What if you needed a machine to help you live a meaningful life? What if a machine or a treatment

in the short term would mean you could continue to participate in the activities that are meaningful to you such as travel or walking your dog or going to the movies? Would you still say no?

On the other hand, what if an intervention would prolong your life but not ensure you remained able to participate in life as you know it? Would you still say yes?

Thinking about this can be difficult. Having these conversations can be tough; adult children often shy away from considering their parents’ deaths, and other emotional issues between family members may surface. But why leave them to guess? It will give them peace of mind knowing the decisions they may be called upon to make will be the right ones, the ones you would make for yourself if you were able.

Follow up the conversations by documenting your values, beliefs and wishes (see resources below). Talk with your doctor about what interventions you may need to consider down the road. Think

about whom you trust who would honour your wishes if you were unable to make your own health care decisions. Consider naming a substitute decision-maker through a representation agreement.

Planning ahead of time is a gift you give your family.

Hope For Chronic Knee Pain

Conditions Treated: Internal Scar Tissue After Surgery or Injury Osteoarthritis Neck Pain Rotator Cu Injury Golfers or Tennis Elbow (Epicondylitis) Hand and Wrist Pain Back Pain Knee Pain Achilles Tendonitis Plantar Fasciitis and other musculoskeletal conditions

The Team at Solaj Maria, Morgan, Doctor Mel, Mary Ann, Samantha

Chronic knee pain can be debilitating, di cult to diagnose and even more di cult to solve.

David has been running, both competitively and recreationally, for his entire life. He has completed multiple marathons and long distance events, and is very passionate about the sport.

Quite a number of years ago, David started experiencing knee pain that a ected his ability to run. His doctor suggested surgery on his knees to remove debris from behind his kneecaps that may have been the cause of his pain. So David went through with the procedure, in the hope that it would reduce his knee pain.

Unfortunately, the surgery didn’t put an end to his knee pain. Eventually it became just too much to

bear, so he reduced his running. But to stay active, while also reducing the stress on his knees, he took up cycling and tness training. However, even with these lower impact activities, David found that his knees were sore, no matter what activity he did. He always had pain, but just toughed it out, assuming that this was just the way it was going to be.

When David visited Solaj he was very skeptical. He had heard about Cold Laser erapy from his personal trainer and was encouraged to give it a try. All he wanted to do was, to be able to run freely, without pain. Having tried many other therapies

without meaningful and lasting success, he had an understandably dif cult time believing that laser therapy would be any di erent. But still - if his personal trainer was right - the upside of stopping the pain in his knee was considerable, so he decided to give Cold Laser erapy a chance.

After the rst 3 treatments, David started to notice slightly less pain in his knees. Although it was

subtle, it was a step in the right direction, encouraging him to continue with the therapy. After 6 treatments, his initial scepticism turned into real hope, as he was running with almost no pain and noticed that the remaining pain would subside much sooner after exercising than before. He also found that his knees were not as sore as they used to be during his personal training sessions, and with much reduced pain levels, physical activity just seemed easier.

After 13 treatments over a 7 week period, hope had turned to satisfaction and David was able to end his treatments, as he was back to running and exercising without any of his previous symptoms.

Email om David: I have had problems with my knees for at least the past 20 years. After years of running high mileage weeks and the marching of time they started to give me problems. I kept reducing my running frequency and distance down to once per week, then I had to quit running altogether.

In the last few years I have been using the services of a personal trainer and had been working on strengthen the muscles that support the knees. Still to no real effect.

A few months ago I went to Solaj, and within a few sessions of the Cold Laser Therapy my knees started to feel better. I went a couple of times a week for seven weeks. After that I started running again, starting slowly and short distances, building it up to where I'm now running 3 times per week and my distances have increased as well.

Also, lately I've changed my training methods and I'm convinced that the Cold Laser treatments were the catalyst to the change. After long periods in my car and after my gym workouts, I am able to walk without any signs of stiffness or instability. I'm contemplating running a 10k in the new year and my goal is under 50 minutes for the distance. This doesn't sound like an accomplishment for someone who used to be much faster, but for someone who couldn't run at all it's wonderful.

I can highly recommend Cold Laser Therapy for anyone who has overuse injuries.

Chronic knee pain can occur for a variety of reasons for individuals of any age, but it becomes more

common as we get older. Some chronic knee pain can be traced back to a speci c injury or to surgery. Other knee pain can be associated with ongoing wear and tear over years of living. Some of the underlying conditions can be diagnosed relatively quickly by a doctor or other medical practitioner with the appropriate credentials and experience. Other conditions can be con rmed with the help of non-invasive procedures like X-rays, MRI or CT scans. And some conditions can only be diagnosed via some form of surgery.

When knee pain becomes chronic, it typically means that the body hasn't been able to naturally heal the condition. Some of the common conditions for such

chronic knee pain include osteoarthritis, internal scar tissue caused by surgery, major knee injury or an accumulation of micro injuries (“wear & tear”), meniscus irritations or tears, and/or in ammation of various soft tissues (ie. tendons and muscles) around the knee. Osteoarthritis and internal scar tissue, while two di erent conditions, also frequently occur simultaneously, which can make the symptoms extra confusing, more dif cult to diagnose and can end up causing double the pain and in ammation.

As a result, many su erers of knee pain nd themselves limited in the activities they can pursue

and end up using pain killing medication to just get through the day. Most such medications can result in having undesirable side e ects of one kind or another, especially when taken long term. Not surprisingly many people su ering from chronic knee pain are looking for alternative treatments.

Cold Laser Therapy for Knee Pain

Fortunately there is now a readily available treatment for several of the common conditions causing knee pain: Cold Laser erapy. While this form of light therapy has been around for quite a few years, it’s still not as widely known as it should be. Scienti c research conducted over the last few decades has shown that human cells heal better and faster when the right wavelengths of light energy get delivered to them.

Cold Laser erapy is a breakthrough solution for musculoskeletal pain because it shines a concentrated amount of only helpful wavelengths of light vital for healing (in the red and infrared parts of the spectrum) directly on targeted areas. is allows the bones,

ligaments, and tissues even well below the surface of the skin to be exposed to the healthy light that otherwise cannot reach these areas.

By delivering just the helpful parts of the light spectrum, the overall laser light power is kept at very low and therefore very safe levels, which will not burn or otherwise harm the skin or any other tissues.

e light energy of Cold Laser erapy boosts the cellular tissues’ natural healing mechanism without

side e ects. is healing repairs cartilage damaged by osteoarthritis, helps to overcome meniscus injuries, dissolves internal scar tissue, puts an end to painful in ammation and restores the mobility of the knee joint and surrounding tissues.

The various depths reached by Cold Laser Therapy

Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

Learning to accept that life may not always be “smooth sailing” is one of the keys to a long

and happy marriage, according to a South Surrey couple set to celebrate their 70th anniversary next month.

Seven decades of marriage hasn’t always been easy for Ernie and Hazel McBratney, the couple told Peace Arch News Sunday, just a few weeks shy of their milestone anniversary on Nov. 15.

“You have to learn to take the ups and the downs,” Hazel, 88, said. “You don’t expect everything to be perfect all the time.”

Ernie, 92, agreed, adding that compromise is one of the most important things a couple can do to make it through the “ups and downs.”

The McBratneys met in Prince Rupert in February 1945, where Ernie was stationed with the Navy, and Hazel was working at the post office.

As Ernie recalls it, an attempt to use his status as a serviceman to skip the post-office queue backfired, when he called out ‘hey red!’ to the “beautiful red-headed woman” working behind the counter.

“She took six strips off of me, said her hair wasn’t red, that it

was auburn,” he said with a laugh, noting it took two months for Hazel to agree to go to an airforce dance with him.

After they were married that fall, the couple returned to the Lower Mainland, where they raised four children in south Burnaby. Ernie worked his way up the ranks as a senior buyer for Woodwards, where he stayed for nearly 40 before he retired and the couple moved to South Surrey.

Early in their retirement years, the couple were enthusiastic

travellers – by boat, motorhome and airplane – listing the Panama Canal, Hawaii and Mexico as some of their favourite destinations.

A believer in the power of staying

positive, Earl published a book of inspirational quotes and phrases about a decade ago, as a means of sharing his optimistic outlook with friends and family.

The McBratneys – who proudly boast seven grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren, with another on the way in December – both agreed that such an upbeat approach has helped them navigate through some of life’s bumpiest roads.

“My philosophy is always get rid of negative ideas, and use positive ideas for success,” Ernie said.

Art of LivingA fundraising event

new to the Semiahmoo Peninsula raised $10,000 for the White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society earlier this month.

The Art of Living, held Oct. 1 at Victory

Memorial Park, was described by organizers as a “classy affair” that was such a success, plans are already in the works for next year’s event.

“The Art of Living is going to prove itself the new premier fundraising event for

the community to attend each year,” Beth Kish, executive director of the hospice society

said in a news release. Featuring a live

art auction, as well as several valuable silent auction items, attendees also enjoyed wine, hors d’oeuvres and entertainment.

“An amazing time was had by all who attended,” Kish said.

Funding boostSeven local social

service providers received a $130,000 boost in grants thanks to the Surrey Homelessness and Housing Society.

On Oct. 15, the funds were presented to the

groups at the seventh annual awards and grants presentation ceremony.

“This is a gratifying evening where we celebrate the community for its collective contributions to helping our most vulnerable citizens,” said Coun. Judy Villeneuve, chair of the Surrey Homelessness and Housing Society.

Organizations benefiting are: Elizabeth Fry Society of Greater Vancouver; Options Community Services; Pacific Community Resources Society; Realistic Success Recovery Society; Social Planning Research Council of B.C.; and the Surrey Homelessness and Housing Task Force.

The crowd also celebrated the 2015 Heroes of the Homeless Awards.

They were: Carolyn Colwell of Your City Sport, Bruce Kehler of Canex Building Supplies and B&B Contracting.

Colwell was inspired to launch her buy-one-give-one sock company after volunteering at a homeless-serving event where socks were in short supply.

For every pair of socks ordered, Your City Sports donates a second pair to the homeless. Kehler has a long history of philanthropy and has donated more than $200,000 into community services since June 2015.

Authors speak Four authors are

part of “Remembering the Past in Poetry and Prose,” the next Authors Among Us event at Guildford library.

The Surrey Libraries-hosted series continues Wednesday, Nov. 4, starting at 7 p.m.

The event is a chance to “meet authors who explore personal memories and historical events through their writing.”

The panel of authors will include Heidi Greco, Olive Caldwell Lee, Rose Seiler Scott and Kevin Spenst.

Call 604-598-7366 or visit Surreylibraries.ca

Ocean Park WailersLooking for a costume party on

Halloween night?The upcoming bash would seem

to be the ideal opportunity for South Surrey group The Ocean Park Wailers – and their local fans – to howl with a good-time mix of blues, country rock, roots and originals.

They’ll be at the Royal Canadian Legion Crescent Branch 240 (2643 128 St.) at 8:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 31. Tickets ($35) include an appetizer buffet, and there will be prizes for best costumes.

Band members are Lawrence Kirby (lead vocals, guitar), Kevin

Irwin (lead guitar, vocals), Russ Froese (bass, rhythm guitar, vocals), Bill Brooks (keyboards, bass guitar), Jim Widdifield (keyboards) and Paul Sorbara (drums).

Advance tickets are on sale at the legion box office,

open 3 to 9 p.m. daily (a limited amount of tickets will be available at the door). For event info, contact [email protected]

White Rock Trad JazzFans of the feel-good brand of

jazz that reached its zenith in the Roaring ’20s will be happy to know that White Rock Traditional Jazz Society’s regular 2 to 5 p.m. sessions of live Dixieland for dancing and listening continue each Sunday at the Royal Canadian Legion Crescent Branch 240 (2643 128 St.).

Admission (19 and up) is $10 for WRTJS and legion members, $12 for everybody else).

For more information on upcoming bands visit www.whiterocktradjazz.com or call 604-560-9215.

Blue Frog Studios If you think you know what jazz

is all about – at least in a modern context – it’s time to guess again, according to three of Vancouver’s best-known jazzmen, trumpeter/flugelhornist Gabriel Mark Hasselbach, saxophonist Cory Weeds and pianist Miles Black.

The trio – coming to Blue Frog Studios (1328 Johnston Rd.) Friday, Nov. 6 – have issued

an advance statement that is somewhat of a game-changer, particularly for an idiom that, even though it threw the excess baggage of the Swing Era off the band bus, has become increasingly victim of its own set of clichés.

“Rather than solos comprised of long barrages of notes played by and for the musicians,” they say, “this show will be built around introspective and succinct improvisations that tell a story, rich with emotion and depth.”

Jazz fans can expect an evening of sultry and soulful sounds “filled with romantic, mood-drenched original and classic tunes,” they add.

Tickets for the intimate concert (doors 7 p.m., music at 8 p.m.) are $37.50. All tickets are available from www.bluefrogstudios.ca or call 604-542-3055.

Honour Our PatriotsFirst Capital Chorus, the

Encore concertsThe well-received series of 3 p.m.

Sunday afternoon performances at White Rock’s First United Church, 15385 Semiahmoo Ave. – presented by Encore Peninsula Concerts and co-sponsored by the City of White Rock – returns Nov. 22.

A stellar line-up is a continuing testament to artistic director, and internationally-recognized concert pianist, Eugene Skovordnikov’s connections in the world of classical touring musicians.

The Nov. 22 concert features a former piano student of his, Canadian-American musician Pius Cheung, who has since gone on to international fame as a virtuoso exponent of the marimba – expanding the horizons of the melodic percussion instruments with adaptations of many classical pieces.

Next up will be a Jan. 31 concert featuring Chinese cellist Yinzi Kong and her life and performing partner, American pianist William Ransom.

Italian piano duo Sergio Marchegiani and Marco Schiavo, both also noted as soloists, will bring out the excitement of Brahms’ piano duets on Feb. 28, while Polish/Belgian pianist Joanna Trzeciak will present Beethoven and Chopin pieces April 17.

Rounding out the series will be an extra treat – an orchestral performance by the strings of the West Coast Symphony Orchestra (conducted by Albanian maestro Bujar Llapaj) with Skovorodnikov and Canadian-American trumpeter Dan Kocurek.

Featured pieces at this concert will be Eine Kleine Nachtmusik by Mozart, one of the best-known of all classical compositions, and Shostakovich’s Concerto No. 1 for Piano, Trumpet and Strings.

Tickets can be purchased online at tickets.surrey.ca or at White Rock Community Centre, 15154 Russell Ave.

Peninsula ProductionsToo early to think about Christmas?

Not if you’re wanting to get tickets for two of Peninsula Productions’ upcoming presentations.

On Sunday, Nov. 29, the man the legendary Bonnie Raitt referred to as “a triple-threat” and “one of my musical heroes” is back – vocalist/keyboardist/saxophonist John Lee

Sanders will return for a fifth Gospel and Blues Christmas Concert with his band, at a new venue based on past demand for tickets.

White Rock Baptist Church (1657 140 St.) will be the setting for a rocking, feel-good seasonal celebration which gets underway at 7 p.m. Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door.

The joyous sounds will continue

at the same venue Saturday, Dec. 5, when Peninsula Productions presents its ‘Sing-A-Long Messiah’ event with the 80-member Vancouver Bach Choir under the direction of Leslie Dala. It’s the second year that the choir – a Vancouver tradition since 1930 – has brought Handel’s uplifting masterwork to South Surrey.

Injuries mount for BC Hockey League team

Eagles fall to division rivalsNick GreenizanSports Reporter

There was no shortage of offence in Surrey Eagles games last weekend, but unfortunately for the Birds, most of it was provided by the opposition.

The Eagles lost all three games over a three-night stretch last week – including a pair on the road against the first-place Wenatchee Wild – and were outscored 19-5 in the process.

Surrey now sits last in the BC Hockey League’s Mainland Divison, with a win-loss record of 4-12. Earlier last week, on Tuesday, Oct. 20, the Eagles managed to stop a two-game losing streak with a victory over the division rival Langley Rivermen.

On Friday at South Surrey Arena, the Eagles couldn’t muster a goal against the Chilliwack Chiefs, despite firing 24 shots on goal in the opening two periods, and 29 overall.

“We had our chances, but we ran into a hot goalie, and couldn’t bury those chances,” said Eagles head coach Blaine Neufeld.

The Chiefs were led by Cloverdale native Darien Craighead, who opened the scoring in the first period, and also added an assist on a second-period goal from Dennis Cholowski.

After the home-ice defeat, the Eagles packed up and headed south to Wenatchee, Wash. to battle the Wild, who, despite being in their first season in the BCHL, have quickly proven to be one of the circuit’s premier teams.

Each team’s offence was in top form Saturday, as the squads combined for 12 goals in a 7-5 Wild win.

Unlike a day earlier, Surrey wasted little time getting on the scoreboard Saturday, as Owen Johnson gave the visitors a 1-0 lead just 58 seconds into the game. However, Wenatchee tied the the game just 12 seconds

Holy Cross defeats Lord Tweedsmuir in all-Surrey final

Crusaders capture PAN Classic

see page 28

Nick GreenizanSports Reporter

Before hitting the court for the champion-ship final of the Peace Arch News Classic last weekend, Holy Cross Crusaders senior girls volleyball coach Meghan Guze asked her team a simple question:

“Do you want to win?”The other option, Guze said, was simply to

go out there against one of the province’s top ranked 4A teams, Cloverdale’s Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers, and without pressure, have fun.

“I could see it in their eyes that they were ready. They said they wanted to win, so we went out and did it,” Guze said.

The underdog Crusaders upset the highly

ranked Panthers 2-0 (25-19, 25-20) Saturday afternoon at Semiahmoo Secondary, to capture their first-ever PAN Classic title.

Guze said “from beginning to end” the final game couldn’t have went any better for her team, and heaped praise on a handful of play-ers, including power Elizabeth Mallari, who Guze said “was able to dig every hard-hit ball that was hit at her.”

Holy Cross setter Clarissa Madaisky led the team with the most blocks, Guze added.

“It was awesome to see the hard work they’ve put in (pay off),” Guze said.

The win also provided a measure of revenge for Holy Cross, who lost to Tweedsmuir in round-robin play, and earlier in the week, had

lost to them in a regular-season tilt. In semifinals, Holy Cross defeated Elgin Park

– another highly ranked 4A team – in two sets, led by libero Emma Courneya.

“It seemed she was everywhere,” Guze said. After the loss to Holy Cross, Elgin Park

rebounded to edge Langley’s Walnut Grove Gators 2-1 in the bronze-medal game.

The Winston Churchill Bulldogs won the fifth-place final over the Delta Pacers, while the tournament co-host Semiahmoo Totems placed 11th.

Madaisky was named tournament MVP, while all-star nods went to Mallari, Tweedsmuir’s Rachel Bellamare and Clayton Heights’ Veron-ica Plonis.

later, and led 3-2 after 20 minutes. Eagles’ captain Kyle Star also scored in the opening period.

The Eagles began the second period quickly, too, as Darius Davidson tied the game 3-3 with a shorthanded marker just 18 seconds after puck drop, and he scored again 10 minutes later. Wenatchee scored three in the period, including back-to-back power-play tallies, and led 6-4 heading into the third.

In the final frame, Surrey made it 6-5 on a John Wesley power-play goal, and the team pressed for the equalizer in the game’s waning minutes, until Wild’s Troy Conzo scored an empty-netter with 18 seconds left.

“That’s a game we should’ve won. It was close all the way through,” Neufeld said.

Sunday night’s tilt was not as evenly played, however, as the Wild exploded for six goals in the opening 30 minutes of play, en route to an 8-0 win.

Though the score was far from flattering, Neufeld chalked up the result to his team playing tired and undermanned.

The team was without a handful of regulars, especially on the blue line and in net, where Justin LaForest continues to be sidelined, leaving second-year netminder Daniel Davidson to carry the load.

“We had to ask a lot of some

of our young players, putting them in situations they normally wouldn’t be in, and that’s awfully tough when you’re playing your third game in three nights,” Neufeld explained.

LaForest isn’t expected back until early December.

The weekend’s barrage of goals-against did little to improve the Eagles’ overall goal differential for the season. The team – which was last in that category last year – has given up 36 more goals than they’ve scored this season, which is the worst mark in the BCHL.

Again, Neufeld chalked up

the number to the recent spate of injuries, and expected it to normalize as his team moved forward.

“That wasn’t our hockey team on the weekend. That’s not our group, that’s not how we play,” he said. “We’ve been competitive all year, and every team is going to have a game or two like that. We just got ours out of the way.”

The Eagles will look to win their fifth game of the season Friday, when they head to Chilliwack to battle the Chiefs. On Sunday, they’ll head to the Langley Events Centre for a 3 p.m. game against the Rivermen.
