Anesthetist shortage results in repeated 12½-hour windows with no emergency surgeries
PAH forced to divert expectant mothers Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
For the second week in a row, an unexpected shortage of anesthetists has Fraser Health officials advising pregnant women who find themselves going into labour Friday night that they will not be able to deliver at Peace Arch Hospital, Peace Arch News has learned. Those in need of emergency surgery will also be diverted. David Portesi – Fraser Health’s interim
executive director of clinical programs, maternal, infant, child and youth – confirmed Thursday that an unexpected lack of anesthetists overnight means the hospital will divert these patients who arrive between 6 p.m. Oct. 26 and 6:30 a.m. Oct. 27 to Surrey Memorial Hospital. The situation is a replay of what happened during the same time period last week. The necessity to divert patients was communicated to the hospital’s ER department and other health officials Oct. 16, in an
internal memo from the regional anesthesia and surgery department heads and the surgical program’s interim executive director. A copy of the memo was dropped off anonymously at PAN’s office Wednesday afternoon. “There is an unanticipated gap in the call schedule coverage for the period of Friday, Oct. 19, 2012 at 1800 hours to 0630 hours, Saturday, Oct. 20, 2012 for on-call anesthesia at PAH,” the memo states. “As a result, Peace Arch Hospital will be on surgical diversion
for this 12-hour period.” Portesi told PAN he is aware of only one similar diversion at PAH “within the last month.” It was handled through “physician triage,” he said. Fraser Health spokesman Roy ThorpeDorward said Monday that last week’s diversion resulted in just one maternity patient being turned away from PAH. She chose to drive herself to SMH, Thorpe-Dorward said. › see page A2

ow many coalition soldiers does it take to keep one Canadian filmmaker alive in Afghanistan? By the time I returned from Kabul and Kandahar last month, I had my answer. Far too many. Three weeks earlier, I left my home and family in Crescent Beach. This was my fourth trip to Afghanistan and my second documentary shoot in two years. Times have certainly changed. Fewer journalists. Less access. Limited financial support. The embed program that attempted to inform the world in 2010 – to limited effect – no longer exists. All embedded journalists must provide their own protective gear when working in a war zone. Unfortunately, after a long journey with a number of flight transfers, my tripod and body armour were held back by airport security for some unexplained reason. I was booked the next day to start shooting my independent documentary, Burkas to Bullets, so it was an immediate issue. Afghanistan is a cash economy, preferably American, and it took two days and a lot of cash, as well as numerous trips to the airport, to eventually reach an

Interest in amenity plan Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
A request to convert amenity space at a White Rock apartment building into rental housing was met with interest by attendees at a recent public information meeting on the proposal. In presenting the request to the city’s landuse and planning committee last week, director of development services Paul Stanton said of residents who attended a Sept. 25 meeting, four wanted to know more about converting their own complexes’ amenity rooms for similar use. No one opposed the application, which seeks to amend the existing land-use contract for 1497 Martin St., Stanton said. The contract was signed in September of 1977 to allow construction of a rental complex for not more than 20 tenants. It gave
the city long-term say over what can be done with the land – an important position to be in, given a recent Metro Vancouver report on the vulnerability of older buildings to redevelopment, Stanton said. Amending the contract – which would assist in generating additional revenue for maintenance – “helps keep the apartment complex alive, furthers the life of the building,” he said. While the amendment would increase the number of units at the Martin Street building to 21, it would not change the building’s height, site density or gross floor area, Stanton said. It would, however, require the addition of one off-street parking space. Committee members voted to recommend council give the amendment first and second reading and authorize staff to schedule a public hearing on the application.

other surgeries is more difficult to predict. Any that arrive will be assessed, stabilized and transported to SMH, if necessary. “We can’t say divert all ER patients to Surrey Memorial Hospital, because the volumes are unknown and there’s very, very high-quality care that can still be delivered at Peace Arch that can be critical and lifesaving and closer to the community. “However, if a patient does need emergency surgery, once they’re stabilized, they’ll be transported as per protocol to Surrey Memorial.” Portesi noted the anesthetist shortage is not unique to PAH. There are “pockets” of shortages throughout the province, he said. Efforts are underway to recruit more of the health-care professionals, and Portesi is optimistic “that we’ve identified some potential candidates that might be able to help us out.” Portesi encouraged anyone with concerns about the care available at Peace Arch Hospital during the gaps to call (604-531-5512) and ask to speak to a nurse.

Even if a C-section isn’t anticipated, as a precaution, the mothers-to-be will be transferred to SMH, he said. “We don’t have an anesthetist at Peace Arch to help with that operation,” Portesi said. “Normally, one might say those that don’t need anesthesia can then deliver at Peace Arch, but we wanted to take the extra precaution. During delivery, you can’t always predict when a C-section, emergency C-section, will be needed.” The number of patients who will need

Border guard recovering with mother, brothers at side
Gunman’s loved ones on mind of victim Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
A border guard shot at the Douglas (Peace Arch) crossing last week was unarmed and just a few months into the job when the incident occurred. According to a statement released by the Canada Border Services Agency late Wednesday afternoon, Lori Bowcock “joined the CBSA family a few months ago.” “Once she completed her training at the CBSA College in Rigaud in July, she was deployed to the Pacific Region that same month, becoming a valued member of our CBSA team at the Douglas port of entry,” states Roslyn MacVicar, CBSA’s Pacific Regional director general. “As a recent graduate, she has not
yet completed the arming program training.” As of Monday, Bowcock remains in stable condition in hospital. She was shot in the neck just before 2 p.m. Oct. 16, by a motorist who arrived at her booth in a white van. The male driver then shot and killed himself. Officers with the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team are investigating and have not determined a motive for the shooting. MacVicar would not discuss further circumstances of the shooting, which closed the border in both directions for more than 24 hours (southbound lanes reopened at 4 p.m. Wednesday; northbound lanes reopened at 8 a.m. Thursday).
She did say that Bowcock’s mother and brothers are by her side, and that the officer is expected to make a full recovery. In a statement released Thursday afternoon through the CBSA, Bowcock’s family said they are “grateful” she is alive. “Since Tuesday’s events, we have experienced every possible emotion,” the family states. “She is doing well and we are happy to report that her positive outlook and sense of humour are shining through.” The family thanked medical staff at Royal Columbian Hospital for “the best care possible,” and said Bowcock is “deeply moved” by the concern and support that has poured
in since she was wounded. Bowcock’s assignment to the border was “her dream career,” the family adds. “Even after she was wounded, Lori’s first concern was for the safety of her fellow officers and the public that she has dedicated her career to protect. “Lori acknowledges how difficult this time must be for the family and friends of (gunman) Andrew Crews. Our thoughts and prayers are with them.” As police continue efforts to figure out what motivated Crews, Bowcock’s former colleagues are doing what they can to ease her road to recovery. › see page A4

International experts suggest charging by the kilometre instead of tolls
Road fees advised for visiting drivers Jeff Nagel Black Press
Expect insurmountable public opposition to a strategy of simply slapping tolls on existing bridges to fund TransLink. But charging every driver a lower and more broadly based charge on each kilometre travelled might work in Metro Vancouver – especially if it’s offset by a cut in some existing taxes. That was some of the advice Metro Vancouver leaders heard Thursday from a panel of international experts at a forum on regional tolling organized by Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts. A road pricing system could include free home zones for motorists, who wouldn’t pay per kilometre charges until they cross a zone boundary into a different city. Someone in Surrey could drive within the city “all day long” but only pay if they cross a zone boundary into New Westminster, suggested Jack Opiola, a Virginia-based road tolling and transport policy consultant. “When I leave my home zone and travel into somebody else’s, I know I pay a fee,” he said.
“That way, everybody pays their fair share.” Ideally, panelists said, road pricing could substitute for much of the existing gas tax, which is declining anyway, and possibly reduce property tax a bit. “It’s going to be a tough sell to say we’re going to keep taxing you on your gas and ask you to pay a per-mile charge,” said Edward Regan, a transportation and tolling policy authority from Connecticut. “But if it’s one instead of the other, that’s certainly much more viable.” The push towards road-use charges here springs from both TransLink’s troubled quest for sustainable funding and a growing sense among civic leaders that tolling just a couple of bridges is unfair and may distort traffic patterns. Most other jurisdictions are grappling with some of the same challenges as TransLInk, particularly a gas tax that raises less money for transit each year as vehicles get more efficient and more electric cars hit the road. Panelists said several U.S. jurisdictions – from Puget Sound to Los Angeles – are contemplating a shift to forms of road pricing, typically by
charging a few cents per mile travelled. Regan said it’s also wise to find ways to provide benefits to drivers, rather than merely a high-tech method to take their money. He said GPS-based systems to charge road usage fees can also be used to advise drivers on less-congested alternate routes, or perhaps guide them to a free parking spot and automatically pay for it. In Dallas-Fort Worth, he said, tolls on planned express lanes will vary by route and change according to congestion levels, in an effort to ensure those lanes are free flowing. Drivers will get a toll rebate if traffic fails to flow at a guaranteed minimum speed. Even with the best ideas in play, panelists warned the policy road to toll systems is littered with failed efforts, including New York City’s aborted attempt to introduce a Londonstyle congestion charge. Opialo said a potential move to a road usage charge being studied in Washington State would also charge B.C. drivers who nip across the border to buy gas – if the measure is enacted.
For the first time in three decades, the number of students attending Surrey and White Rock public schools has dropped. Figures for enrolment this fall show there are 72 fewer children than this time last year. Surrey remains the largest school district in B.C. with 70,172 students. In a city where growth has been rampant – the city estimates approximately 12,000 new residents move to Surrey annually – the enrolment decrease is surprising for school officials, who were expecting an increase of about 195 students. “It’s really too early to even speculate where they (the students) are,” said Laurae McNally, chair of the Surrey Board of Education. McNally said significant growth continues in schools in the east of the city – such as in Cloverdale and Clayton – as well as in the South Surrey, in areas like Morgan Crossing and Rosemary Heights. “The numbers just didn’t show up, apparently, in the west and the north and we don’t know why,” McNally said, adding district staff is investigating possible causes. She noted anomalies do happen, however, like three years ago when Surrey forecast an increase of 200 new students and 1,400 appeared. The school board based its 2012-’13 budget on the projected increase of 195 students, so 267 fewer students means about $5.1 million less in operational funding from the Ministry of Education. Most of that would have covered hiring nearly 150 additional teachers, educational assistants and support staff to serve the anticipated additional students. But since they didn’t show up, those positions were not filled and the money not spent. Despite this year’s “blip,” McNally said all indications are that school enrolment will grow by about 400500 students for the next of years. Capital funding for new school space is still needed, she noted, as Surrey still uses 265 portables.

Shooter’s motives unclear SUPERMARKET The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has identified the gunman in Tuesday’s shooting at the Douglas (Peace Arch) border. Police say they still don’t know exactly what led U.S. resident Andrew Michael Crews to shoot Border Services Officer Lori Bowcock before fatally shooting himself. “This investigation remains in the early stages and investigators are attempting to determine a motive,” Supt. Kevin Hackett said in a statement. Crews, 32, arrived at Bowcock’s inspection booth shortly before 2 p.m. Oct. 16 in a white van bearing Washington plates.

His online photos include many images of tattoos, and in March he posted a photo of a gun. “The current evidence clearly indicates that prior to taking his own life, Mr. Crews deliberately fired at the victim. There is no evidence, however, to suggest the victim was specifically targeted. “RCMP, IHIT and international law enforcement continue to work together to advance this investigation.

Take our quick survey Colourful crowd supports PAH and you could win! Pumpkin Run raises record amount
Dan Ferguson Staff Reporter
Batman was there. Several Batmans, in fact, along with Catwoman, Wonder Woman, a number of clowns and at least one zombie. They were among the dozens of colourfully costumed participants at Peace Arch Hospital Sunday morning in the annual pre-Halloween Pumpkin Run. There were almost as many dogs in costume as well. Organizers estimated more than 900 people participated in this year’s fundraiser for the Peace Arch Hospital ER. The event has generated more than $115,000 for the hospital over the past five years. In 2011, over 700 people attended and $56,000 was raised. This year, organizers were hoping to raise more than $75,000 for the ER. The hospital foundation reported more than $80,000 was collected. And that number may rise as more pledges come in. The top corporate donor was White Rock Optometry, which has been collecting money since June. The doctors there matched all patient donations, boosting the total to $8,700. That amount will likely get bigger because the office plans to continue raising money for the Peace Arch Hospital Foundation until the end of November.

Costumed participants came to show their support for the hospital. Local running champion and Olympic medalist Lynn Kanuka led the start of the 5K walk on a “street strider” that allows her to train without aggravating a foot injury that doesn’t permit highimpact exercise. In the 5K run, Bob Durrant won the race with an unofficial time of 18 minutes, 51 seconds. Sam Goski was the first woman to cross the finish line, with a time of 23:54.
Goski decided to donate her prize, a backpack, to another runner, a teenaged boy who managed to keep up with her during most of the race and even pulled ahead at the end. “I have enough backpacks already,” Goski said. Global TV weatherman Mark Madryga was the master of ceremonies and his mother, 77-yearold South Surrey resident Marcia Madryga, took part in the walk.

It’s important to talk about tragedy
I
t’s a classic instance of locking the stable door after the horse has bolted. The B.C. Ministry of Education’s advice to teachers not to show the Amanda Todd video in class, well-intentioned as it may be, ignores realities of modern-day life that contributed to the untimely death of the Port Coquitlam teenager. The fact is that more than 20 million people have already viewed the YouTube video in which Todd, 15, detailed the bullying which is believed to have led to her suicide on Oct. 10. The video, in which Todd silently tells her sad story with a series of flash cards, went viral – in the hyper-accelerated time scale of the Internet – a very long time ago. In the real world, it’s almost impossible for most students to have avoided exposure to it in their daily diet of web-surfing. While the tragedy has occasioned handwringing op-ed pieces galore, what has been missing for most students is relevant discussion in the one forum where they supposedly receive an education to prepare them for the real world. It’s possible that Todd’s plight, which began with an unwise posting online – and was exacerbated by cyber-bullying, physical abuse and blackmail – could provide some hard but necessary life lessons for teens. It could give immediacy to discussions of what constitutes bullying, and why it should be unacceptable. Instead, the ministry’s suggestion for dealing with a viral video comes across as ineffective vaccine. What educational opportunities are lost by directing parents and young people – many of whom have probably seen the Todd video already – to anti-bullying websites employing nonspecific examples to discuss the issues? The Oct. 14 memo from the ministry to school boards speaks of concerns that showing the video might increase the risk of suicidal behaviour among students who identify with Todd’s story. Clearly there is a need for sensitivity – a reluctance to inspire imitative incidents, as well as a desire to respect privacy of families involved. That’s something the media, including this paper, well understands. As a policy, we do not report suicides, other than those that circumstances have made irrevocably public (such as the recent death of the man who wounded a Canadian Border Services Agency member). But in creating her video and posting it online, Amanda Todd clearly sought to make her situation public. She exposed a tragic problem, and provoked discussion that could prevent other, similar tragedies from occurring. Perhaps it’s time we addressed some of the causative issues of such suicides, rather than letting our sensitivities sweep them under the rug.

“How does the oil-sands contribution possibly qualify as unprecedented?” George asks. Another Hannah quote: “I’ve been hearing about how many people have cancer that live downstream from the tar sands project.” Canadians heard that too, thanks in large part to an alarmist CBC documentary by David Suzuki featuring jet-set movie director James Cameron. George describes how this allegation was made in 2006 by a doctor who claimed a cluster of rare bile cancer cases in the remote village of Fort Chipewyan, and blamed it on oil sands mining. Headlines blared around the world. George details the Alberta Health Services study that followed, identifying three such cases in 12 years. Statistically higher, yes. A general risk, no. Other types of cancer in Fort Chip were lower than the general population. This finding was endorsed by Australian, New Zealand, U.S. and Canadian researchers. The doctor who diagnosed the original bile cancers admitted: “These results were based on a small number of cases – there is no cause for alarm.” Was this news trumpeted around the world? You can guess the answer. My point here isn’t to make fun of illinformed celebrities. It’s to counteract the fawning, scientifically ignorant coverage they are given by the mainstream media. And I’m not promoting the oil sands or pipelines. I’m saying they should be considered based on facts, not foolishness.

Nothing hazy about rules Editor: Re: Cancer patients struggle with gauntlet, Oct. 16. Can’t do anything about the smoking at the BC Cancer Agency’s Fraser Valley Centre in North Surrey? Are they serious? There is one obvious step that can, and should, be taken. It involves the cancer agency employee, “Ken.” Give him a written warning, stating that since he is self-admittedly aware that his smoking is strictly against the rules, he must stop immediately, and that failure to do so will result in dismissal with cause. Then, should he continue to smoke on the cancer agency’s property, terminate him for failure to comply with the conditions of his employment and failure to comply with the written request. The stupidity of smoking at a cancer agency, of all places, should be mentioned, but probably would be tacitly understood by all readers. Mardie Wolsey, Surrey
They flag-wave as we prosper Editor: Like a lot of Canadians, I’ve been watching a bit of the presidential debates in our neighbouring country. It is hard to watch too much of it because it is so rhetorical, both parties hammering out the same reasons over and over why they are the best man for the job. One candidate in particular is unbelievable to watch, as he thinks he is going to bring the country back to the way it was 20 years ago. Honestly, is he kidding? After all the years that so much business went out of the country in order to make a profit, the exorbitant cost of the military endeavours – which are questionable as to their effectiveness – has left the country in a less-thanprosperous state. For years, the U.S. has been borrowing money from a certain country to keep the economy afloat, and now that that has not worked, they want to reverse the cycle and bring back the business to their country. Talk about ingrates. It made me think how lucky we are in Canada that in the last 20 years, we have been concentrating on building a foundation for the integration of all the different ethnic people who have entered our country and decided to make it their home. This was not the easiest task because it required a lot of consideration and negotiating, and at times there were struggles. However, in the end, everyone has found the common denominator and that is to live in peace and prosperity. The old saying that ‘after the people get the food in their bellies, they all want the coloured TV’ sure rings true. This is what has given
Canada such a good start to the 21st century. Globalization is the name of the game, and we have taken our place in the world as a leader not only for our resources and our growing economy but also for our attitude and enthusiasm in adopting cultures of the rest of the world. While the neighbours to the south were busy waving their flag, we were quietly building a foundation for the future and our place in the global world. D. Barros, White Rock
We need to act before tragedy Editor: The recent rain has reminded me we have a couple of problem areas in South Surrey that should be addressed before something serious happens. The first is the median on 152 Street, between Starbucks and Tim Hortons. Heading north, the curb that juts out where the buses stop is impossible to see until you’re practically on top of it. I think some paint or reflectors would be useful. The second is the crosswalks between McDonald’s and Fat Burger. Again, you can’t see pedestrians until it’s too late. The lighting is seriously bad. With all the glaring lights from the businesses, I don’t think pedestrians realize how hard it is to see them. That said, it would be nice if pedestrians would stop before they cross. There’s nothing more
frustrating than someone who’s walking the same direction as you’re driving, who decides to take a quick turn and walk in front of your car. S. Fulsom, White Rock
illegal tree cutting, illegal smoking and now the garbage, it’s no wonder Surrey is the joke of the Lower Mainland. Your Worship, the “buck” stops at your desk. Ian Baxter, Surrey
Enough time for cart delivery Get serious An open letter to Surrey Mayor about transit Dianne Watts. Re: Holiday pickup a success, city says, Oct. 16 Many others and we still await delivery of our green organic-waste carts. Out of the three carts, this one is most urgent, as the organic waste attracts the most vermin and rodents. So, how much longer are we supposed to “make do?” Weekly calls to 604-590-7289 elicit the same response: we are on a priority list and should have imminent delivery. I feel sorry for the poor “frontliners” who try to explain something beyond their control. Meanwhile, Rob Costanza – the city’s deputy manager of operations – has touted the success of this system to both the Vancouver Sun and Peace Arch News, with dire warnings for noncompliance. Saying only a small number of households is affected is unacceptable. There has been enough lead-time to have the cart delivery correct and up and running from the start. What a very good example of poor planning! What with illegal suites,

Editor: Re: Freeway on-ramp official, Oct. 16. Not to complain – $60.5 million for transportation infrastucture is better than nothing – but if the government was serious about getting people onto public transport and reducing greenhouse gases, the decimal point needs to be moved to the right. I just returned from Beijing – OK, probably not the best model for reduced traffic congestion – where bus fare is 15 cents. Fewer people in cars means fewer accidents/injuries, less pollution, reduced stress, etc. Whatever happened to ‘Rail For The Valley?’ My grandfather had it back in the day. I had the pleasure of living in Langley/South Surrey for 20 years and believe the quality of life there needs to be preserved. I now ride the train to work in Melbourne, Australia every day.

Letter-writer Sophie Stanger takes issue with a complaint over Surrey residents now being asked to sort garbage.
It’s not hard to sort our garbage Editor: Re: Do-it-yourself city, Oct. 16 letters. I wish to comment on letter-writer Gary Robinson’s response to the cutting of the 39 trees on 144 Street street property (Developer penalized $175,000 for trees, Oct. 4). While I fully agree that the cutting of the trees was wrong and that the fine was too little, Robinson should not have gone on an unrelated rant about sorting garbage and how he thought that was so tough.
First of all, the connection between cutting trees and sorting garbage is not at all the same topic. Second, sorting garbage is quite possibly the easiest thing one could do to save our Earth. If Robinson cares about clear cutting streams and parks, then surely he can spare the time to sort his garbage. I am a 12-year-old girl and even for me it’s not hard to sort garbage.

Police gather at Earl Marriott Secondary last week after a lockdown due to a student with a pellet gun.
Teenager taken into custody for pointing pellet gun
Lockdown at Earl Marriott Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
A report of a weapon at Earl Marriott Secondary last week led to a ‘Code Red’ lockdown of the school. Police swarmed the area around 3:30 p.m. Wednesday – as the school day was ending – and
$115K upgrade for pier Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter
White Rock’s pier is set to be improved to the tune of $115,300. The announcement was made Friday by MP Russ Hiebert (South Surrey-White RockCloverdale) during a short press conference on the waterfront. “This will serve to maintain and enhance the safety of the pier,” Hiebert told the crowd. “I look forward to seeing the results of this investment and the benefits that will surely come with it.” As part of the project, 11 damaged piles and cross-braces will be replaced. White Rock’s actingmayor, Coun. Louise Hutchinson, praised the announcement. “Public safety is number one, so this has to be done – we can’t emphasize that enough,” she said. Hutchinson said the pier would likely be closed “for a short time” for the work. No timeline was given. Funding comes via a grant from the federal Community Infrastructure Improvement fund.
there were reports the police helicopter was also called in. As it turned out, the weapon was what one officer on the scene described as a “fake,” a replica pellet gun. Police say a 15-year-old student pointed the imitation weapon at another student near the school
smoking pit. The lockdown was lifted soon after, and one teenaged boy was taken into custody for questioning. Earl Marriott, located at 15751 16 Ave., has a student population of 1,920 and more than 120 teachers and support staff.

People for Better Medicare hold a demonstration by land they wish to have a hospital built on.
HeArING TeST Group pushes for hospital FreeOctOber 25 & 26 Kevin Diakiw Black Press
A group fighting for better medical care wants a hospital built in the Panorama area of Surrey. Gurjinder Somal of People for Better Medicare wants a hospital built on a 15-acre parcel of land near Panorama Village, at 152 Street and Highway 10. Somal believes the new hospital would alleviate some of the surgical wait times and bed shortages. He and others held a demonstration on the barren land behind the IGA grocery store Saturday to make their point. In 2005, then-mayor Doug McCallum promised to sell 200 acres of land in Campbell Heights to
pay for a $50-million hospital at that location. As it was during an election campaign, the promise was met with skepticism. At the time, officials with the Fraser Health
Authority said more beds would be welcome, but suggested the Panorama site might be too distant from the main hospital – Surrey Memorial – in North Surrey.
Clustering doctors, nurses and services close together on the existing site makes the most sense, they said, rather than hiving major services off to a new location.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
Grateful for safety › from page A1 I was looking forward to my visit to the police academy in Kabul to document the transition. Kabul was busy with plenty of children in the streets, on their way to schools. It was nice to see so many little girls heading to school. This was my first positive image of Kabul. I booked a driver to take me to the Kabul Police Academy. When we arrived, officers at the gate pointed their guns at me and asked me to leave the car. They were upset by my large camera and Pelican case. My ISAF identification angered them even more. They debated whether to destroy my gear and discussed reasons why they should shoot me for “working with the Americans.” After a tense 20 minutes, they allowed me to proceed to the training centre. I was grateful for the security provided by the Americans at the academy. They ensured I was safe while documenting my interviews. Throughout, I could feel the anger toward me. Just being a female camera person seemed to enrage some of the local officers, even though I was dressed as required, with my hair covered. I had to be fully protected at all times. I did not anticipate this level of animosity. It was obvious to me that there was a strong anti-West sentiment.
‘Salaam alaikum’ The next day, I hired a new driver and was able to travel on the Kabul-Jallabad road, considered to be one of the most dangerous in the world because of the number of insurgents who have been known to abduct or kill drivers and travellers. The police academy had prepared me for the difficulty I would receive at the gates to the Kabul Military Training Centre. It was a massive military installation with numerous checkpoints and gates. I was eventually cleared after numerous physical searches and my equipment being taken apart. My Canadian Forces contact met me at the main area. I was able to document the second-ever graduating class of female officers with their male counterparts. The Afghan media were a bit surprised to see me, but they accorded me the same courtesy as other media scrums. “Salaam alaikum” (May Peace Be With You) was my chosen greeting to all. The graduation ceremony was impressive, with the Afghan Security Forces taking the lead. The Coalition Forces were guests. The transition of the security forces at both the

This was particularly important because of the “Green on Blue attacks.” That is when the Afghan Security Forces attack the Coalition Trainers. These attacks are particularly devastating because of the betrayal of trust. My own difficulties in documenting the women in security reinforced to me how serious this issue was becoming. During this time, the City of Kabul was shut down by protests as a result of the anti-Muslim YouTube video that was in the world news last month. I was not able to leave my compound as the anti-Western sentiment made me a target. I could hear the chanting and the rhetoric being amplified just a block away. It was frightening. ISAF called to ensure I was OK. The Internet had been cut in the compound when the protest began. My only communication was my local cell. After three days, I was able to return to the American base. I was grateful to be a guest there, as Kabul had become too dangerous for a Western female filmmaker.
A new future Over the next two weeks, I was able to document the U.S.-led Female Engagement Teams (FETs), who actively work in Afghan communities to assist women to access health care and job skills training programs. Afghan communities need to become more self-sufficient and less dependent on foreign aid. My journey took me to Nijrab, where I was able to document a French FET and a local Shura. The success of the French FET was evident, because they had assisted in the training and development of a midwifery program. The two midwives and trainee were requesting to have some medical support items provided for their work. They were supported by the local Afghan doctor, who was very appreciative of the FET and their work in the Nijrab community. After the Kabul protest, there were three suicide-bomber attacks. The first was outside of a base in Kabul, and it was by a 14-year-old boy who detonated himself when he was confronted by the children and youth vendors who wanted to protect their “friends” at the
base. This was devastating to the Afghan families and the base personnel who knew the children. The tragedy of children killing children is incomprehensible to most. Sadly, the following week, a female suicide bomber detonated herself at another checkpoint, killing 14 foreign workers. It is hard for Western society to understand the level of rage that can erupt so quickly in the Middle East. Despite the horrific tragedy of these attacks, I was able to document the lasting legacy of the infrastructure that the Coalition Forces have developed in Afghanistan. Providing the Afghan people with the skills and training to manage literacy and security is the only way forward for Afghan society. Women and children are creating a new future for the people of Afghanistan. As a Canadian filmmaker – and mother – I will continue to support their journey toward education and a life filled with hope for the future of their country. ••• Alison MacLean will speak at a special Remembrance Day service at Shaughnessy United Church in Vancouver, Nov. 11.

All abuzz about ‘vanishing’ bees Bee species are endangered and vanishing. Without pollinators such as bees we could lose a third of the food in our diet. Want to learn more? Earthwise Society will host a screening of Vanishing of the Bees on Nov. 7 at 7 p.m. at Firehall Centre for the Arts, 11489 84 Ave. Learn more about the disastrous affects that the disappearance of the bees would have, and what you can do to help prevent the vanishing of the bees. Plants that produce
gourds, such as melons and squashes, are also dependent on bees for propagation, making bees a keystone species. At the same time, how we choose to live on earth and interact with all of its inhabitants, both plants and animals, affects bee populations. Seating is limited.

Community comes together to find solutions
Homelessness Week marked in Cloverdale Jennifer Lang Black Press
To some, it might have seemed like an unlikely assembly – some of Cloverdale’s leading business people munching hotdogs alongside a wide assortment of people, from students, residents and shop owners to folks from the other side of the tracks. But that’s Cloverdale. Staff from Cloverdale Hyland House, a local homeless shelter located on Colebrook Road, were serving up a barbecue lunch at Hawthorne Square in the historic town centre. The Oct. 11 outreach barbecue was just one of the events taking place across the city as part of Homelessness in Action week. It was hosted by Options Community Services, which operates Hyland House, a 10-bed facility for homeless people that opened in 2008. Peter Fedos, program manager of Hyland House, said the community is a supportive one when it comes to dealing with issues of homelessness and those in need. Part of the explanation may be that Cloverdale’s homeless people aren’t transplants from somewhere else, he says. They’re people with ties here, through family, history or circumstance. There are fewer visibly homeless people in downtown Cloverdale, but Fedos said an official count

an information display table. Cloverdale’s small-town feel means residents have a sense that “it’s our problem, let’s deal with it,” when it comes to homelessness, he said. “That willingness to help out – it’s just so nice to work with. They’re about solutions, it’s not about whining. People are pulling together here.” Case in point? Nearly two years ago, the city tore down the old Cloverdale Mall to make way for a new residential and commercial devel-
opment that’s yet to take shape. The mall was home to the Shepherd’s Inn Soup Kitchen and Cloverdale’s extreme weather shelter. With the mall gone, the extreme weather shelter relocated to Cloverdale Christian Fellowship at 102-17802 66 Ave., and the soup kitchen moved to Pacific Community Church at 5337 180 St., where three different church groups help feed the needy and near-homeless. The Korean Presbyterian Church

provides a hot lunch on Thursdays, Cloverdale Christian Fellowship runs a soup kitchen on Thursdays at 6:30 p.m., and there’s a Monday night cafe operated by Pacific Community Church. The kitchen, if you can call it that, is modest. “It’s a classroom with a stove in it,” said Jim Heuving, Pacific Community Church’s executive pastor. “It’s really limiting and not very cost-effective.” The church is one of nine local agencies working with homeless that are receiving a share of nearly $240,000 in grant money from the City of Surrey and the Surrey Homelessness and Housing Society. Pacific Community Church is getting a $25,000 grant to help build a commercial kitchen to enhance the existing soup kitchen initiatives and lead to other programs. The grant will only cover part of the project, so the church will involve local businesses once the costs are firmed up, Heuving said. Once complete, the new kitchen will have a dishwashing system, oven, steamer, kettle pot and be highly functional, opening up potential for training cooks. “We are calling it a ‘community kitchen’,” Heuving said, “because it is a kitchen where we hope a number of like-minded groups can use it to provide help and resources for those in need or near to need.”

Pennies and more for polio The Rotary Club of White Rock is calling on citizens to contribute to efforts to end polio, by donating to the Pennies and More for Polio Initiative this week. World Polio Day is Wednesday, Oct. 24. Eradicating the crippling childhood disease has been a Rotary focus worldwide for 27 years. The highly infectious disease causes paralysis and is sometimes fatal. As there is no cure, the aim is prevention through vaccination – something that costs about 60 cents per child. “Once a child is infected with polio, it never goes away and revisits them in later life with crippling results,” said Jacqui Joys, president of the Rotary Club of White Rock. “There are people living in White Rock who survived polio in the 1950s but are now suffering every day.” Joys said that since 1985, Rotary has contributed more than $1 billion to the protection of more than two billion children. “We are continuing to raise funds and want to stress that polio anywhere is a risk to children everywhere.”

South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale MP Russ Hiebert, Rotary Club of White Rock president Jaqui Joys and foundation chair Louis Fortin show how close the effort to eradicate polio is to success. The Canadian government, through the Canadian International Development Agency, has committed to supporting Rotary’s eradication initiative with $1 for every $1 raised by Rotarians and their supporters in Canada,
to a maximum of $1 million. The same promise has been made by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. To support the eradication initiative or for more information, visit www.endpolio.org

Surrey passes liquor application to Victoria without recommendations
Province to decide on RCMP hall Kevin Diakiw Black Press
An application for a liquor licence at the new B.C. RCMP headquarters in Green Timbers is now being considered by Victoria after Surrey council passed it on without making recommendations. In June, the RCMP asked for Surrey council’s blessing for a liquor licence for a mess hall at a new $263-million headquarters now under construction in Green Timbers Urban Forest. The licence was for a 500-seat mess hall that would seat up to 1,200 people.
Many members of the public were outraged that the RCMP wanted a bar on the premises, even though mess halls have been a long-standing tradition with the Mounties. Surrey council wasn’t enthused with approving the proposal. Instead, in June, council forwarded the application to the B.C. Liquor Control and Licensing Branch (BCLCLB) without offering any comment on the application. Coun. Marvin Hunt said at the time he was amazed to see the application on the city’s agenda.
“I’ve never heard before of the federal government ever asking the local government’s permission to get a provincial government licence,” Hunt said. “The reality is, they can do whatever they want because they’re the federal government.” That’s not the case with Victoria. The Mounties will need clearance from the BCLCLB before opening a beer in that building. The approval process can take between seven months and a year, meaning Mounties may not have an answer on their application until June of 2013.
With an election in May, the decision might be up to the next provincial government. Mounties say the liquor licence would be used for other purposes than just a mess hall for officers. It would be also used for regimental dinners and veterans’ celebrations. A bar currently exists at B.C. RCMP headquarters in Vancouver (which is moving to Green Timbers). If someone has too much to drink, Mounties are allowed to take a cab home free-of-charge, a service paid for out of RCMP dues.

Eagles earn weekend sweep for first time this season
Toews’ trick leads Birds to win Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
A two-win weekend for the Surrey Eagles could have very easily ended with losses instead, but the BC Hockey League team engineered a late-game comeback in one and scored in doubleovertime in another to emerge with four points. Friday at South Surrey Arena, the Eagles fell behind the visiting Vernon Vipers 3-1 through 25 minutes – and were badly outshot in the bargain – before newcomer Brady Shaw helped launch the comeback attempt. Shaw, a 20-yearold forward acquired Thursday in a trade with the Coquitlam Eric Chevrier Express (see defenceman sidebar), made it 3-2 with just 15 seconds left in the second period, and then scored 1:46 into the third to tie the game. Defenceman Craig Wyszomirski and Demico Hannoun added third-period goals to help the Birds snare the victory. Colton Mackie had the Eagles’ first goal, and Brett Mulcahy added two assists in the 5-3 comefrom-behind win. Michael Santaguida earned the win between the pipes for the Eagles, stopping 30 of 33 shots he faced. Sunday’s game against the Trail Smoke Eaters – who were coming off two earlier road losses on Vancouver Island – was equally as dramatic, as the team squads traded goals back and forth. The Smokies led 4-3 with 2:03 left in the game, when Eagles’ blue-liner Eric Chevrier tied the game and sent it to overtime. And in the 3-on-3 second OT session, defenceman Devon Toews scored his third goal of the game to give the home team the win. Toews also scored in the second › see page A26

Morley scoreless this year
Eagles deal captain to Coquitlam
The Surrey Eagles have shaken up their roster in a big way – by dealing 18-yearold captain Brandon Morley to the division-rival Coquitlam Express. In exchange for Morley, the Eagles receive 20-year-old forward Brady Shaw, who has six goals and nine points in 12 games so far this season. Morley, in his first year wearing the captain’s ‘C’ after taking over from older brother Tyler, was in his third year in Surrey. He was named the team’s top rookie after he posted 47 points in 49 games in the 2010/11 season. This season, Morley had yet to score, posing zero goals and five assist in 11 games. “The Eagles would like Brandon Morley to thank Brandon for all that he’s given to our traded program,” said Head Coach and General Manager Matt Erhart in a press release. “He’s a hard worker and a mature young man that has a bright future ahead of him. Coquitlam is getting a quality individual. Shaw, an Ottawa native, is in his second year in the BCHL. He is the son of former NHL defenceman – and current St. Louis Blues assistant coach – Brad Shaw. “The Eagles are very excited to acquire a proven goal-scorer like Brady,” said Erhart. “He possesses a great release and has always been dangerous against us. We expect him to provide an immediate offensive threat for our hockey club.” Shaw scored twice in his Eagles’ debut Friday night. Morley is the third player to join the Express after beginning this season in Surrey. In Coquitlam, he’ll join Brett Seldon – who was acquired from Ontario in the offseason in exchange for Sean McGovern but was shipped to the Express after being a healthy scratch twice during the BCHL Showcase in September; and veteran blue liner Beau Orser, who was released by the Eagles earlier in the year. - Nick Greenizan

Ferguson stops 34 shots on Sunday
Goalie named player of week
Former Hawk nets award
Surrey resident Kirk Thompson has picked up a weekly honour from the BC Hockey League. The 20-year-old goaltender, a Major Midget League’s Valley West Hawks’ alum, was named the league’s player of the week last week, for his performance in games between Oct. 7 and Oct. 14. Thompson led the Spruce Kings to a pair of wins, allowing just one goal. He earned a win over the Powell River Kings and followed that with his second career BCHL shutout – stopping 38 shots on net in a 3-0 win over the Surrey Eagles Oct. 13. He is currently tied for first in the league with nine wins. - Nick Greenizan

product Mason Blacklock and Hannoun chipped in with two assists apiece, while another Semiahmoo alum, goaltender Glenn Ferguson, stopped 34 shots on net. The two victories were the first time all season that the Eagles had finished a weekend slate above the .500 mark. The four points also bumped
them out of the Mainland Division basement, one point up on the Langley Rivermen, and just five back of the divisionleading Chilliwack Chiefs. The Eagles are back on home ice Friday night when they host the Rivermen at South Surrey Arena, and the two teams play again Saturday – this time at the Langley Events Centre.

Earl Marriott drops football game to visiting Timberline
Mariners thrown to Wolves Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
With an undermanned roster, the Earl Marriott Mariners senior varsity football squad dropped an exhibition game Friday afternoon to the visiting Timberline (Campbell River) Wolves. “I have no idea what the score was. I know that they had a lot and we didn’t have any,” said EMS head coach Michael MacKay-Dunn. “Timberline is a
really good team. We were outmanned and overmatched, but the most important thing for us was that we survived it and stayed healthy.” The Mariners were playing with just a handful of spares, as five regulars were sidelined with injuries and there were no junior varsity players available to play because that team had played the day before, beating Langley Secondary 20-16.
PRODUCED BY KOBA ENTERTAINMENT
Despite the lopsided loss, MacKay-Dunn was staying positive. “We knew it’d be a struggle this year with the senior guys, but they’re doing their best. They’re a tight group – they were all out at the Pumpkin Run Sunday – and they’re out there working hard.” The junior team, meanwhile, sports a 4-2 overall record – and 1-2 in league play – after their win Wednesday in Langley.

de ROODE, Cornelius Arnold
June 24, 1922 - October 15, 2012 The family of Cornelius Arnold de Roode wishes to let the many friends of Arnold know that he passed away peacefully at the Peace Arch Hospital, White Rock, B.C. on Monday, October 15, 2012 after a courageous battle with cancer. Arnold was born in Scheveningen, Netherlands on June 24, 1922. At a very young age he apprenticed as a Baker in Holland. After the war he travelled the world working on various shipping lines, finally immigrating to Canada in 1950. Arnold became a Professional Chef and received his Red Seal Journeyman status in the late sixties and worked in various hotels in Alberta such as the Airliner Inn in Calgary when it first opened, the Voyager and the Timberline in Banff. He also worked in many construction camps in Manitoba, Alberta and B.C. and as far away as Johannesburg, South Africa. He will be sadly missed by his wife and loving companion Susan, by his daughter Regiena (Ruben) of Columbia, Missouri, USA, his son Robert (Natalie) of Chilliwack, B.C. and Arnold Jr. (Kate) of Calgary, Alta., grandchildren Jason de Roode of Calgary, Laeloni Kronebusch (Kym) of Chilliwack, Kayla de Roode of Edmonton, Kristen de Roode (Andrew), Kaetlyn de Roode, Jesse Nylund of Chilliwack, Michaela, Gabriella, Alexandra and Olivia Lopez, niece Nan (Ken) Unklesbay of Columbia, Missouri. Grand grandchildren, Teairra, Tyronne, Austin, Aaliyah, Mykeal, and Darius. Arnold had a social conscience second to none and always had something to say about working towards the betterment of others. He had a passion for writing articles to the editorial page of the Peace Arch News. He left us a legacy of “go left and you will always be right.” When Arnold talked about his life he always called it a “gift” and was grateful for it. Another passion of Arnold’s was that he loved music. He regularly attended classical concerts with the VSO. He was very community minded, often volunteering at his regular meetings and cooking meals for his elderly friends that couldn’t otherwise do it themselves. Arnold loved his White Rock and could often be seen riding his bicycle down Marine Dr. Father sleep well and may you rest in peace with the God you so strongly believe in. Special heartfelt thanks go out to his home care workers, also staff and volunteers at the Peace Arch Hospice. A Memorial Service to celebrate Arnold’s life will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 27, 2012 at St. John’s Presbyterian Church, 1480 George Street, White Rock, B.C. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Doctors Without Borders or Peace Arch Hospice Society.

SHOCKWAVE THERAPY(SWT) Shock Wave in Orthopedics has been clinically researched and proven in journals such as: American Journal of Sports Medicine, Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, Foot Ankle Institute, American Journal of Orthopedics, and many, many more... What are shock waves ? Shock waves are high-energy acoustic (sound) waves that are used to penetrate the skin to treat an injured area in the body. There is a high release of energy at the soft tissue/bone interface. The release of energy from the shock wave within the region of the affected tissues and the resultant compression and tension of cells creates a positive physiological effect. Mechano-transduction is the physiological effect thought to be responsible for stimulating normal and injured cells to produce healing factors. It is Clinically Proven, Safe, and PAINLESS. Treatment time is only 5-15 mins.
How does it work ? SWT involves using a hand held probe to focus shock waves on the affected tissue and surrounding healthy tissue, to induce a physiological response that will initiate healing. It is important to accurately define the treatment area through good diagnostics. We do that through taking a patient history, palpation, x-rays, ultrasound, MRI etc. This will ensure the most effective delivery of shock waves into the affected region.
Extended Health Coverage is Provided through BLUE CROSS, GREAT WEST, SUN LIFE, MANU LIFE. RCMP / Veteran Affair and ICBC Coverage is Available.
When applied to the skin, it allows an increased blood supply to the treated area by stimulation of neovascularization and growth factors; Other benefits of SWT include: • Reinitiates stagnant healing processes in chronic injuries. • Decrease inflammatory processes. • Stimulate osteoclasts and fibroblasts to rebuild injured tissues. • Facilitates resorption of calcifications in tendons and ligaments. • Stimulates migration (differentiation) of stem cells.
Evidence based success rates More than 80% of patients report improvement even after just one treatment. Most studies report a full healing rate of 65-85%.
