Mayor lashes out at public-consultation process where ‘city gets its notice from the newspapers’

More coal trains unacceptable: mayor Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

White Rock’s mayor is asking for council support to voice “strong concerns” regarding a proposal by Fraser Surrey Docks to build a coal-transfer facility. In a motion that was to be considered at city hall last night – after Peace Arch News press deadline – Mayor Wayne Baldwin names a number of issues he wants to address with

Fraser Surrey Docks and Port Metro Vancouver, including “the total lack of public consultation to the point where the city has to get its notice from the newspapers.” Fraser Surrey Docks has applied to build a terminal that would bring in thermal coal from Wyoming via the BNSF railway that runs through White Rock, South Surrey and Delta. Along with a proposal to expand Neptune Terminals in North Vancouver, it is to be

decided by Port Metro Vancouver managers, with no formal public meetings or approvals by other agencies. In his motion, Baldwin describes the potential increase in rail traffic through the community as “unacceptable.” Other concerns he wants to highlight are the impact of coal dust on the environment and local residences; the impact of the additional noise on the community and along

the waterfront; and “the apparent lack of any kind of an environmental assessment by any level of senior government.” Port Metro Vancouver planning director Jim Crandles has said civic zoning doesn’t apply. Both applications were, however, referred to the cities of Surrey and North Vancouver for comment; Delta and New Westminster were also notified, as were nearby residents. › see page 2

Crescent Beach death

Inquest held over police shooting An inquest into the death of a 23-year-old who was shot two years ago by police responding to a domestic disturbance in Crescent Beach will be held in July, B.C. Coroners Service announced last week. Brendon Samuel Beddow, a Surrey resident, died March 23, 2011, after police were dispatched to the 3000-block of McBride Avenue. A witness told Peace Arch News at the time that he heard police say, ‘Drop it!’ and saw a young man with a gun in his hand. The man was swearing at police and then fired his gun, the witness said. Police fired back. A Vancouver Police Department investigation into the fatal shooting cleared the officers involved of criminal wrongdoing. The review “concluded that there were no reasonable grounds to believe a criminal offence was committed by any member of the RCMP in relation to this incident.” In the July inquest, coroner Margaret Janzen and a jury will hear evidence to determine the facts surrounding Beddow’s death. They cannot, by law, make any findings of legal responsibility, but may make recommendations aimed at preventing deaths under similar circumstances in the future. The inquest is set for July 15-19 in Burnaby. – Tracy Holmes

Offers to pay rejected by district

Parents cross over lack of school guard Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Parents at East Kensington Elementary say their efforts to improve the safety of students and others who cross 184 Street to get to school are hitting roadblock after roadblock. For at least five years they’ve asked for help – including for a crossing guard to be assigned to the 2795 184 St. school – but say that every year, the request has been brushed aside.

Tony Hazelden would like to let all his clients know that he is presently relocating to a new salon in the South Surrey area where he will take care of all your hair colour needs. You can reach Tony on Facebook or by email at tonyhaircolour@gmail.com

“Since I’ve been here, this has been an issue,” Jacquie McLean, president of the small school’s Parent Advisory Council, said last week. “Every group of parents that has come through has tried to pursue this. We get the run-around.” The latest effort includes an offer for parents at the 50-student school to fundraise for the cost of a crossing guard – an offer that they say was turned down flat.

But school district spokesman Doug Strachan told Peace Arch News the solution is not necessarily that simple. “There are safety considerations, and other traffic considerations and so forth,” Strachan said. “It’s not necessarily as straight-forward as just saying let’s get a crossing guard out there and that’s it, it’s done, it’s safe now.” › see page 4

Finances, attendance figures reviewed by City of White Rock

Museum head rebuts mayor’s criticisms Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

White Rock Museum and Archive’s executive director has countered comments made at a council meeting last month, at which Mayor Wayne Baldwin questioned the facility’s financial viability and Coun. Helen Fathers criticized attendance figures. Sharon Oldaker – who was previously unavailable for comment – contacted Peace Arch News last week to respond to the criticisms made Feb. 25. Oldaker noted the museum is not a cityrun facility, rather a non-profit society that relies on annual grants, donations and sponsorships from other sources.

Baldwin had been critical of items in a staff report to council, which indicated the museum’s gift shop had $22,145 in annual expenses but only $11,000 in revenue. The mayor also noted the museum’s source of income was based on unreliable sources, such as tax refunds and endowments. “They’re disappearing and can’t be counted on,” Baldwin said. “It’s hard to project your sustainability when you do that.” However, Oldaker said Thursday that giftshop expenses include part-time staff who not only work at the waterfront shop but perform double-duty at the ticket office. “In addition to providing merchandise, the staff at the gift shop are the hosts of the

museum and the area also acts as the that’s pretty exciting.

Cocaine in trailer

Smuggling acquittal Vikki Hopes Black Press

A B.C. Supreme Court judge has acquitted a Surrey truck driver of attempting to smuggle cocaine across the border in July 2009. Amritpal Singh Narwal was found not guilty of possession for the purpose of trafficking and of unlawfully importing cocaine. Narwal, who worked for a Surrey trucking company, was stopped at the Huntingdon border crossing on his way into Canada in a 2003 Kenworth tractor pulling an apparently empty commercial trailer. He presented documentation – later shown to be fake – indicating he had delivered a load of peppers from a farm in Delta to a grocery store in Auburn, Wash. In fact, evidence indicated Narwal had actually travelled from Surrey to Los Angeles, Calif. During an inspection of the trailer, a border guard noticed two washers holding screws to a metal plate at the back of a refrigeration unit appeared scratched, “as if the plate had been removed and replaced repeatedly,” court documents states. The officer removed one of the screws, peered behind and pulled out two kilograms of cocaine. The plate was completely removed, and a total of 144 kilos of cocaine was discovered. The street value was estimated to be $5 million. Narwal’s defence was that he had no knowledge of the cocaine. He said he had been instructed by a dispatcher to take a tractor unit from the Surrey yard, drive to a specific truck stop in Washington State and pick up an empty trailer. He said he was told to drive to L.A. to pick up a rush load of produce, the order was cancelled when he arrived in California and he returned with the empty trailer. He said he provided fake documentation in order not to be caught having driven more than the authorized number of hours. Justice John Truscott concluded that whoever loaded the drug on the trailer did so without Narwal’s knowledge so “the accused would not appear nervous at the border or disappear with the cocaine.”

Search is on after Delta bylaws end stay for recovering addicts

Hard times for South Surrey charity Boaz Joseph Black Press

Jim O’Rourke watched 20 recovering addicts being forced out of the North Delta Inn March 1. “I’m sorry they couldn’t stay there,” said O’Rourke, executive director of South Surreybased VisionQuest Recovery Society, which has operated in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley since 1995. On March 1, the clients were evicted by Delta bylaw officers from the third floor of the hotel, where they had resided since the beginning of February. Officials made the move citing an infraction of a city zoning bylaw. “We have to deal with the laws that we have,” said Mayor Lois Jackson, prior to the eviction. The clients, all under court order to remain sober and keep out of trouble, have since been relocated to two rented homes in Surrey, which O’Rourke hopes will be a temporary measure. O’Rourke said he had felt it made financial sense for the addiction-recovery society to rent space in the hotel, rather than overpay for rental houses. With permission from hotel management, VisionQuest cleaned the walls, tore out old carpets, replaced dirty mattresses and fixed leaking

editorial

Offer more than just a lesser evil

f BC NDP leaders hope to capitalize on the BC Liberals’ missteps, they need to step up their game and prove to voters there are good reasons to vote for their party. The notion that a vote for one is a vote against the other is simply not good enough reason – by itself – to return to power a party that has had its own shortcomings in the past in the transparency department. Pundits and pollsters might, indeed, be right that a backlash against Liberals’ mismanagement of their current mandate will result in a win for the NDP. But it should be realized that voters are in the throes of a crisis of confidence with the political process itself. They have not simply lost faith in the BC Liberals – they have lost faith in politicians of all stripes. In the political game, the NDP’s release of leaked memos concerning Liberal tactics in wooing ethnic voters was a bona fide win. But the NDP’s reluctance – to this date – to follow up such gains by presenting a detailed platform of its own is more than a little troubling, particularly when the BC Conservatives seem to be firing off platform statements every other day. If New Democrats think the best strategy is to hang fire and keep quiet in the expectation that the Conservatives’ sabre-rattling will be sufficient to split the right-wing vote, it smacks of a cynicism equal to anything Liberal strategists have promulgated. The NDP must stand for something, not just against something. Presenting a convincing vision is what it will take for NDP leader Adrian Dix to ultimately put to rest a horrible past blunder in which he falsified the date of a memo to provide an alibi for former premier Glen Clark, who was feeling the heat in a probe into alleged corruption. Dix has apologized and acknowledged he “owns” his past mistakes. He has also refused to take the bait of campaigning by the Liberals, who are determined to prove that the 14 years since the scandal is not too long for the short memory of the electorate. Dix may have learned some hard lessons about honesty since he was Clark’s chief of staff. And his refusal to fight “dirty” in a mudslinging battle with his political foes may reflect a genuine desire to focus on issues. If that’s the case, the time is more than nigh to present these issues in a cohesive campaign, rather than a series of statements by Dix and NDP critics hewing to a general philosophy. In contrast to the stumbles of others, the NDP has said it will provide a platform of promises that can be kept. So far, we are still waiting.

immigration decision made in 1915? Why would another premier now feel the need to apologize for a federal “head tax” imposed on Chinese immigrants from 1885 to 1923? The answer is obvious. Again, don’t expect much to change with an NDP government. Asked last week if he would stage an apology for the head tax, Dix delivered a well-rehearsed history lesson that made it clear he is anxious to do so. Welcome to politics in an urbanized, globalized media culture. It’s more important to put on a show than to do the right thing. Hospitals are announced three times before they’re built, then announced again when they are staffed. Politics is a lucrative career. Former BC Liberal MLA Lorne Mayencourt is one of the additional “outreach” staff handpicked by Clark. The BC Liberals retort that the NDP caucus has a similar staffer named Gabriel Yiu, who has taken three leaves of absence to run for MLA, and is in practical terms a professional NDP candidate. Yiu is running for a fourth time in Vancouver-Fraserview, having been defeated in 2009 by former West Vancouver police chief Kash Heed. That campaign was notorious for anonymous Chinese-language pamphlets claiming the NDP favours legalizing drugs and imposing a “death tax” on inheritance. This latest scandal might produce meaningful reform. But the misuse of public money to further the interests of political parties is deeply entrenched.

BIA criticism unexpected

The business of charity

Editor: It has come to my attention that at the White Rock Business Improvement Association AGM on Feb. 19, a director made a derogatory remark regarding my performance as executive director, as well as that of my successor. I cannot speak to my successor’s qualifications or performance other than to say that the remark is surprising, as I was informed that a lengthy, expensive, diligent, unbiased process was done to secure my replacement led by the same director that now flogged us both. I was promoted from my 2½ years position as the BIA’s marketing director when the then-executive director, Russ Davies, left to work at another BIA. These were turbulent times. The White Rock BIA had only been renewed for one year. The organization was in debt and its members polarized. I am proud to say that in my one year as executive director and, with the help of our board of directors and membership, we were able to fulfill every line item in our budget and obtain a vote of confidence from our membership to renew the BIA for another five years. Both my predecessor and I were diligent in leaving both an electronic record of all events and transactions, as well as a hard copy. The director last month made a reference to there not being a record of events or transactions. This is again surprising, as the computer has an automatic backup, so that records cannot be deleted, and the hard copy files were put in labeled boxes for the BIA’s subsequent office move. Of course, someone must remove them from the boxes and place them in the file cabinets to be effective! This same director apparently went on to say that “you get what you pay for,” in defence of a proposed $60,000 wage for the new executive director and $25,000 for his/her assistant. I worked for $38,500 and had no assistant. I will let the White Rock BIA members speak to whether they got ‘bang for their buck.’ Cyndie Richards, White Rock

Editor: Re: Split decision, Feb. 21 letters. It’s tiresome when people cite numbers from one side of a ledger, ignoring the other, to make a point. Fact: BCLC/Gateway proposed to take $60 million per year out of the economy of South Surrey and surrounding areas into a provincial tax system which masquerades as a charity. Over 10 years, not allowing for inflation or interest, this would

Partisan papers Editor: Politicians will wear pink once a year to oppose bullying, but it’s exactly what they’re doing so much of the time, especially election time. One notices somewhat the same in politically partisan newspapers. For example, there’s basically nothing positive to say about the BC Liberal government, thus supporting newspapers attack their favourite party’s nemeses from behind with attack and negative editorials. There are countless metro-daily and community newspapers who will do and are doing quite the same. It’s ugly, but it’s how it’s done. Frank G. Sterle, Jr., White Rock

amount to $600 million out of this area’s jobs and economic activity. In return, Gateway offers less than $20 million a year, their share less writeoffs and profits, including 500 new jobs. BCLC offers the city $3.9 million ‘chump change’ – and Surrey stands to collect $1.5 million in property taxes each year, for a total of less than $25 million. That leaves an annual deficit of $35 million – or $350 million over 10 years. These impacts do not include other costs attributed to gambling – addiction, poverty, health problems, loan sharking, money laundering and other crime. If you like these numbers, I can

point you to several people who would love to manage your finances. I see less objection if Gateway proceeds with a family-friendly project with no casino, but Surrey should not have to subsidize it. Surrey already has two gaming houses taking advantage of people less able to fend off the lure of instant riches and using them to feed the public ‘maw.’ Only 12 per cent of BCLC net revenues go to community projects and charities chosen by the Crown corporation.

Residents speak out over the future of White Rock’s once-chlorine-free drinking water.

Time to rethink water treatment Editor: I – and thousands of others – would appreciate articles in our local paper, bringing awareness to the massive social issues of “what is happening with food production” and with the “preservation of clean water” in this country. If we don’t start focusing in a big way on issues that truly matter to our quality of life – to the very sustainment of life – it really won’t matter what new development is going up or what local business is closing down. For decades, White Rock residents have enjoyed pristine water from underground rock-filtered aquifers. Since the water utility was negligent in maintaining their storage containers, it has now been decreed that everyone gets to bathe in and drink chemically treated water – another chemical burden our bodies are expected to tolerate. We are losing all the amazing aspects of the clean and natural world in which humans evolved, and being immersed in artificially and chemically manipulated ways of being. But if we just don our little pink ribbons and donate more money to “research,” all will be well because after all, that’s “progress.” The reason for my letter is to urge you to bring more stories on the above-noted topics to the fore in the Peace Arch News. It seems that major newspapers in North America are highlighting this issue and I truly hope that you will consider the same. Jenny Krizak, Surrey n Re: Years without chlorination, Feb. 12 letters. David Poole’s letter failed to provide valid information regarding the safety of White Rock’s drinking water. Good information and not statements designed to instill fear are what White Rock residents deserve. It is disingenuous to associate the tragedy that happened in Walkerton with White Rock’s water. The inquiry into the Walkerton tragedy was clear about the circumstances that led to the deaths and injuries to residents. The Walkerton water system was chlorinated. One of the wells was considered to be the source of E. coli. This well was shallow, unlike White Rock’s wells, and was located in a field that had fresh animal manure spread on it weeks prior to the outbreak. The persons responsible for maintaining Walkerton’s water were not

qualified and had not informed health authorities of the presence of dangerously high levels of coliform. Is White Rock’s water safe? In August 2010, residents were shocked they had to boil their water due to a small presence of E. coli. It was found that “bird droppings” may have entered the Merklin reservoir through the roof. Epcor repaired what was apparently the entry point. In 2011, Fraser Health conducted over 400 tests, including sites where the water was not chlorinated. In only one, a small amount of coliform, not E. coli, was found. The amount was less than a tenth the amount allowed by provincial regulations. You have more of a chance to be exposed to more coliform bathing at the beach than drinking White Rock’s water. For three years now, Fraser Health has rated the risk to drinking White Rock’s water as low. The water from the aquifer below the Peninsula here has been found for over 70 years to be free of coliform. Fraser Health has no problem with the source of White Rock’s water. It appears the reservoirs were/are the problem, not the water source nor the piping. The letter writer suggests there is always a chance some mysterious microbial contamination may occur in the aquifer here. Residents have a greater chance of being hit by a meteorite fragment that exploded over Siberia than being exposed to far-fetched hypothetical issues. A thorough maintenance program is essential for any safe drinking-water system. Sometimes the reliance on chlorine as a disinfectant in drinking water can relax one’s diligence in providing good stewardship. The boil-water advisory in 2010 did cause the waterdistribution provider to assess its system and conduct repairs. The order by Fraser Health to disinfect all of the drinking water in White Rock by 2016 indicates there is no reason to panic. Therefore, prior to any government approval, there is time to conduct a more thorough examination of the contradictions between the order to treat with a disinfectant and the results Fraser Health has obtained about the safety of our water, as well as repairs performed by Epcor to prevent further harmful bacteria from entering our drinking water.

Estimate shows 25 per cent increase to free Pattullo Bridge

15.00

Trucks shift to beat tolls: Watts Jeff Nagel Black Press

✃

Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts is alarmed an estimated 25 per cent more trucks are using the free Pattullo Bridge since the province started charging tolls on the new Port Mann Bridge. Watts said she received the estimate of trucks diverting to the Pattullo from the BC Trucking Association, which made the calculation based on City of Surrey traffic counts. “We knew there would be some diversion – it’s been a concern since square one,” said Watts, who chairs a new Metro Vancouver transportation committee. “It’s problematic because the infrastructure can’t accommodate it.” Critics of tolls on the Port Mann had predicted a major shift in traffic to the free route once the toll bridge opened in December. The opening of the northern section of the South Fraser Perimeter Road has acted as a bypass, carrying tollavoiding traffic most of the way to the Pattullo. Big rigs sometimes straddle both lanes over the Pattullo because the 75-year-old span is too narrow, compounding delays from heavy truck traffic. Watts said part of the problem is heavy trucks haven’t been offered an introductory discount – regular drivers who signed up by February get half-price tolls all year – or the option of a reduced rate monthly pass offered to other

Large trucks pay a full $9 per crossing, which some truckers estimate add up to $12,000 a year. “If there isn’t a monthly pass for large trucks – which there isn’t right now – then there has to be a discount,” Watts said. “We’re talking the economy, we’re talking the movement of goods. So we have to deal with these issues.” Watts noted truck traffic in the region is projected to grow steadily as Port Metro Vancouver expands and cargo shipments increase. Trucking association vice-president Trace Acres said the increase in truck use at the Pattullo doesn’t necessarily prove there’s a large diversion from the Port Mann but added truckers are carefully weighing the costs and benefits of different routes since the new tolls kicked in. Acres said the Transportation Investment Corp., the Crown corporation that administers the Port Mann, has committed to consider a monthly pass for heavy trucks in the months ahead. “There was some concern the trucks weren’t being offered

a discount in the same way smaller vehicles were,” he said. TI Corp. spokesman Max Logan said Port Mann traffic counts

show no evidence large numbers of trucks are diverting to the Pattullo. “Those numbers aren’t consistent with what we’re seeing on the Port Mann Bridge right now,” Logan said. “Our truck numbers and our overall traffic volumes are consistent with what we saw before tolling started.” In January, he said, 2.86 million vehicles crossed the bridge, compared to 2.9 million in the same month of 2012.

Surveillance footage from King Koin laundromat.

Three caught on surveillance

Thieves swipe laundry carts a male shows up and the trio loads the works and leaves. “They loaded everything… along with the carts,” Khattab said. Khattab, thinking perhaps the carts had simply been borrowed, waited until the following Monday to report the incident to police. Why anyone would take the equipment is beyond him. “What they’re going to do at home with those carts? It’s useless,” he said. “Why are you taking things that you don’t need?” Anyone with information can contact police at 778-593-3600.

Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The disappearance of two carts from a White Rock laundromat won’t break the bank for King Koin owner Youssef Khattab. But the seemingly pointless theft does frustrate, Khattab said. “For me, it’s OK, I can buy two new carts,” Khattab said last week. “How silly people are? That’s disgusting.” Khattab said video surveillance from the evening of Feb. 28 shows the carts disappearing with two women who stopped by the 1484 Johnston Rd. facility to do their laundry. When they were done,

Abduction hoax The two men who stuffed another man into a car, prompting an RCMP investigation, were just kidding around. Surrey RCMP sent out a release last week saying they were investigating a potential abduction after receiving a report about three men who exited a Mercedes Benz at Central City Shopping Centre March 2. Two of them put the third into into the trunk of the vehicle and drove off. A Surrey resident advised police she had seen media coverage of the possible abduction and believed the vehicle was parked in the 13000-block of 103A Avenue.

Police spoke to the registered owner and the alleged victim, and determined the incident was a hoax. “Once again the assistance received from the public was crucial in advancing our investigation,” says Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet. “Our investigators treated this case as a serious incident from the time we received the call, and this ultimately lead to its successful conclusion. Unfortunately, the large amount of time and resources spent on this specific case could have been dedicated towards investigating real incidents.” – Kevin Diakiw

Ocean Park hardscaper in top-six for HGTV reality show

Handyman looks to topple challenge Sarah Massah

Staff Reporter

n Ocean Park hardscaper may have hit the nail on the head with his decision to take on a national handyman challenge. After seeing promotions on television for HGTV’s Canada’s Handyman Challenge last year, Ken Ross, who a year prior had been laid off from his position in the power-tool industry, was prompted by his wife to take a chance and try out for the show. “We were watching HGTV when the commercial ❝It was nerve- came on wracking for and my wife someone who said, ‘you’re not doing has never anything at the been in front moment, why of the cameras not try out?’” Ross said. before.❞ “We started Ken Ross watching the handyman previous season and I said, ‘yeah OK, I’ll give it a shot.’” As part of the submission process, Ross, 39, had to complete a plywood project showcasing his handyman skills. After searching the internet for inspiration, Ross stumbled upon a story about a couple of friends in Europe who had built a wooden bike in honour of the Tour de France. The story spurred Ross into action, with the end result being a rideable – albeit slightly uncomfortable – bicycle, made out of a sheet of plywood. “You can ride it, but it totally destroys the wheels,” Ross laughed. The wooden bike was a hit for the judges, especially television host and contractor Scott McGillivray, who ended up take the bike for a spin during an episode filmed in Vancouver. “He had it on the stand, so people thought it was stationary, but you can ride it,” Ross noted. After landing a coveted finalist spot, Ross joined 15 other hopeful

wasn’t so bad.” Even if he doesn’t win the top prize, Ross so far he has been on the receiving end of some very welcome prize money. The handyman pocketed $5,000 for winning a challenge to create a tiled bistro table in a limited amount of time. The extra cash will come in handy for his latest project – his own hardscaping company. Canadian Hardscape, which

he started up in January, had been a goal since Ross began to work for a friend who had his own company specializing in hardscaping. The work became a passion for Ross, who decided that hardscaping – which includes paving streets, sidewalks and retaining walls – would be his new career path. And with the added momentum from the show – which was filmed

in September 2012 – Ross knew that there was no better time to get started. “The experience was awesome, just going through that whole process and meeting all the guys, it was really inspiring,” he said. “They really encouraged us to just go after our dreams.” Canada’s Handyman Challenge airs Tuesdays at 7 p.m. The finale is set to air on March 19.

Surrey closes BCHL schedule with handful of awards

Eagles end regular season in style Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Garrett James photo

Surrey Eagles’ forward Joel Gaudet searches for a loose puck in front of the Coquitlam net Saturday.

A few new banners will soon be hanging up at South Surrey Arena. The Surrey Eagles wrapped up their regular season schedule last weekend with a win and an overtime loss, walloping the Coquitlam Express 8-1 Friday before losing to the same team Saturday, 3-2 in overtime. The three points gained clinched the Eagles first-overall spot in the entire BC Hockey League, with a record of 35-13-3-5, two points up on Victoria Grizzlies, who won the Island Division. As a result of their first-place finish, the team was awarded the Ron Boileau Memorial Trophy – for having the league’s best regularseason record – and the Cliff McNabb Trophy – for winning the Coastal Conference. Banners will be unveiled on opening night next season. “Pretty good week, overall,” said Eagles coach Matt Erhart, adding it was the team’s first regular-season title in 16 seasons. There is, of course, a bigger trophy for the team to focus on – the Fred Page Cup – when playoffs begin Friday. Surrey is set to face the Langley Rivermen in a bestof-five series beginning Friday in South Surrey. On Friday at Coquitlam’s Poirer Sports and Leisure Centre, the Eagles coasted to victory, scoring 39 seconds into the game and leading 5-0 after two periods of play. Trevor Cameron – who opened the scoring – had a goal and two assists; Brady Shaw, Kevan

Killistoff, Drew Best and Michael Stenerson had a goal and one helper apiece, and Colton Mackie and Craig Wyszomirski also scored. Adam Tambellini and Jordan Klimek had two assists each. The Eagles’ power play was humming along at a 50-per-cent clip in the victory, as the team went 3-for-6 with the man-advantage. The following night in South Surrey, the Birds were burned by former captain Brandon Morley, who scored the game-tying goal in the third period, and then assisted on Coquitlam’s overtime winner, which was scored by Michael Maciag. The Express had an early chance to end the OT session, but could not convert on a powerplay opportunity, when Eagles’ defenceman Dan O’Keefe was whistled for tripping. Killistoff and Stenerson were the goals-corers for the Eagles, and goaltender Michael Santaguida stopped 37 shots on net. In addition to the team trophies, a handful of Eagles scooped individual awards last week, led by Santaguida, who was named to the Coastal Conference’s second all-star team, the BCHL’s all-rookie team, and on Sunday won the league’s top goaltender award after posting a league-best 2.28 goalsagainst average. He also led all netminders with 29 wins. Shaw, who led the team in scoring, and defencemen Devon Toews and Wyszomirski were all named first-team all-stars, while Tambellini joined Santaguida to the BCHL’s second all-star team.

Pitcher back on the mound at World Baseball Classic

Boyd pitches Netherlands into final round Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Semiahmoo Peninsula pitcher Leon Boyd is back on the world stage. The 29-year-old former White Rock Triton was in Tokyo, Japan last week with the Dutch national baseball team, which is competing in the World Baseball Classic. On Thursday, Boyd’s Netherlands squad defeated Cuba 6-2 in the second round of the tournament, and Sunday, with a berth in the final round on the line, the Dutch squad again knocked off the Cuban national team 6-5. The final round will be played in San Francisco. Prior to Thursday’s victory, the Netherlands finished with a 2-1 record in the first round, which was held in Taiwan, beating Korea

5-0 and Australia 4-1, and losing to Chinese-Taipei, 8-3. Boyd, a six-foot-five relief pitcher, has been one of the busiest Dutch pitchers. So far in the tournament, he has pitched in four of the team’s five games, for a total of 5.2 innings. He’s allowed six hits, two walks and just one run – a home run against Cuba – in that span. Boyd, who holds dual Canadian/ Dutch citizenship, is no stranger to the World Baseball Classic, having been among its stars in the 2009 event. In that tournament, Boyd – who has also played pro in the Dutch league – helped the Netherlands to a pair of huge upsets against a powerful Dominican Republic team – with a roster chock full of major-leaguers.

He pitched well enough to earn a contract with the Toronto Blue Jays. Boyd pitched in the Jays’ minorleague system for a few seasons before leaving the pro game and returning to the Peninsula, where he now coaches the sport and plays in the summer for the Burnaby Bulldogs, a men’s amateur team. Despite not playing professionally any longer, he’s still a staple of the Dutch squad. He was also a member of the Dutch team that won a World Cup title in 2011 in Panama – the first time a European nation had won the tournament since 1938. After that victory, all members of the team were knighted by Queen Beatrix, the queen regnant of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

In my clinical practise of chiropractic I see the negative forces of spinal stenosis on a daily basis. So, what is spinal stenosis? It is a narrowing in the spinal column that causes a pressure on either the spinal cord or spinal nerves, or both. The most common cause is wear and tear on the spine causing a degenerative condition known as osteoarthritis. The condition usually starts early in life with repetitive trauma to the spine. Children playing contact sports or young adults injured from work

On The Peninsula Spine may cause walking difficulties related activities. These events cause a slow process of degeneration over a period of time. In our younger years we may notice this problem as acute episodes of lower back or neck pain, sometimes associated with pressure on the nerves. This problem doesn’t go away even if we feel fine. The injury, if left untreated, will continue to deteriorate over time. During this time frame there may be little or no pain. The biggest and most dreaded symptom of lumbar (lower back) spinal stenosis is the difficulty, and later, the inability to walk. This happens because of the worsening degeneration. The symptoms of our walking problems can start to show up in our 40’s and 50’s. We may just think we are out of shape and just need to exercise more. We may notice that we can’t take two stairs at a time when going up the stairs. Our thighs or calves may hurt more when doing outdoor activities. These symptoms and signs are usually

very mild at this stage and often shrugged off. As we continue to age we will start to really notice that our walking is being affected. Our legs are obviously weaker and sore. The diagnosis usually comes with an M.R.I. or C.T. scan of the lower back revealing the stenosis. The diagnosis also can come from the patient when they say: “I can only walk 100 feet then I have to sit down. Then after a short rest I can walk another 100 feet.” There are really only two treatments available. One is de-compressive spinal surgery and the other is Spinal Decompression. Spinal decompression is a very successful treatment choice. It is not 100% successful but certainly worth the consideration.
