Surrey councillor says White Rock mayor – not Surrey mayor – brought up idea of rail realignment

Tracks to remain for ‘foreseeable future’ Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Supporters of moving the BNSF tracks from White Rock and South Surrey’s waterfront should not expect it to happen any time soon. That’s the message from both Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts and Coun. Mary Martin – while White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin acknowledges there is Coun. Mary Martin no specific proposal before either the

federal or provincial government. In an emailed response to a letter from Morgan Creek resident Anthony Rose (who also addressed concerns about the effects of a realignment on his neighbourhood in a letter to Peace Arch News published Dec. 5), Martin said realignment “will not happen in the near future, nor in the foreseeable future. “Mayor Watts’ only concerns are for the safety of the rail shipments, in par-

ticular the crossing at Crescent Beach. It was Mayor Baldwin who brought up the idea of the realignment.” Both mayors told PAN last month that Watts approached Baldwin in August to discuss the matter. Watts spoke at a Nov. 26 City of Surrey community forum, where she presented four options for relocating the BNSF route in other areas of her city, however Monday she said the forum was “about

beginning the conversation.” Moving the line, Watts said, “would be a lengthy process, without a doubt.” While information on realignment is being gathered in an overall study of railsafety issues, the primary focus is ensuring the current route is safe, she said. “The realignment conversation is secondary to the conversation around safety issues,” Watts said. i see page 2

Multiple heart surgeries

Patient’s ‘spirit is amazing’

A sound argument Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Fighting for his four-year-old granddaughter, Richard Landale wants something very simple from the City of Surrey – a small sign alerting traffic that there’s deaf kids at play. Landale appeared before the transportation committee last week – his second visit to the group over the issue – to put forward the argument that his granddaughter will be safer with a sign on the street in both directions. Kate Bishop lost her hearing when she was a year old (see sidebar). Landale is afraid that as she grows, she won’t hear traffic coming near their home in the 1200-block of 161A Street. Kate’s mom was unable to argue the case to the city’s transportation committee Dec. 2, but Landale is happy to pick up the fight. He told the committee there are hundreds of signs throughout Surrey warning drivers of potential hazards, including children at play, school zones, cyclists, etc. – “even deer crossing.” Surely, he argued, a deaf child deserves the same effort to create a safe environment. City staff noted several other nearby cities examined the issue of signs for the deaf and ruled it out, primarily because the signs don’t change the behaviour of drivers. One city that had them is now taking them down, staff said. Kate’s mother, Alexandria, said the family would happily pay for signage and alert the city when it’s no longer needed. The transportation committee referred the issue to engineering staff for more study. Landale was content with the consideration. “I’ve had a quality hearing,” Landale said after the meeting. “When I get a final ‘no’, I’m going to make it personal.”

ocused on the cartoon playing on the iPad propped up on the kitchen counter, four-year-old Kate Bishop giggles and squeals as the characters jump around on screen. The sound is turned down, but Kate doesn’t mind. To someone who had just met the carefree South Surrey toddler, it would be hard to believe that in her short life she has endured three open-heart surgeries – with two more expected in the future – after being born with a rare defect called truncus arteriosus. “We went into survival mode,” Kate’s mother, Alexandria, recalled of finding out about the cardiovascular anomaly. “We went numb and just dealt with the situation.” Kate’s first open-heart surgery was scheduled when she was just six weeks old. Instead of having a separate pulmonary artery and aorta, each with their own three-leafed valves, Kate only had one great blood vessel – or trunk – leaving the heart, which then branches into blood vessels that go to the lungs and body. Doctors created a connection between the right ventricle and the pulmonary arteries using a valved conduit. i see page 2

Baldwin keen on realignment i from page 1 “What we want to be dealing with is safety issues around the (current) alignment – the stabilization of the slopes, the length of trains, the access to Crescent Beach and the condition of the trestle bridges.” Told of Watts’ and Martin’s latest comments, Baldwin questioned why the City of Surrey would provide four choices for realignment if moving the tracks is not an option. Baldwin told PAN there is no timeline at present to propose realignment to either provincial or federal authorities, although he expected some overtures would be made “early in the new year.” “We’ll start with our local representatives and work our way up the chain,” he said.

Baldwin added that there is no favoured proposal for realigning the main BNSF cross-border route. “The bottom line is it could even be one of the (BNSF) spur lines at Sumas or some other place – although perhaps there would be problems with load-bearing capacity,” he said. Watts said City of Surrey committees are studying all aspects of rail safety – and other environmental issues the city will have to address, including a potential rise in the sea level that could impact the Nicomekl and Serpentine river systems. “This is about getting information, looking at issues and engaging the public,” she added. “There are a few issues that we’ve been talking about for decades.”

Treatment led to deafness i from page 1 As her heart grows, she will need to go for surgery to replace the conduit. “It’s unbelievable, though. She’s so incredible, strong-willed and resilient,” Alexandria said, with husband David noting that after her second surgery, she only spent five days at the hospital recovering. Kate’s resilience has not only helped her with her surgeries but with a side effect of her treatment. As a result of an infection in the days leading up to her first surgery, Kate was given an antibiotic that sometimes results in hearing loss. Alexandria and David say they were unaware of this risk, but the South Surrey mother remembers vividly the day she knew there was something awry. “We were living in a home with hardwood floors, and the keys fell from the counter right beside her, and there was no reaction,” she said. “She didn’t flinch, she didn’t get startled.”

In February 2010, Kate was diagnosed with mild to moderate hearing loss. As she has grown, the hearing loss has progressed. Last week, the family appealed to the City of Surrey to place signs alerting drivers of a deaf child in the area. The busy family, which includes Kate’s three-year-old brother Luke, has also been raising funds each summer for B.C. Children’s hospital with their Kuz of Kate event, which features a one- or fivekilometre run through Queen Elizabeth Park, followed by a carnival celebration. At the fourth annual fundraiser in June, the family brought in more than $10,000, bringing their total contribution to nearly $40,000. Despite the tumultuous four years, Kate shows no signs of slowing down, Alexandria said. “Her spirit is amazing. She’s loving and affectionate and she’s always smiling and laughing,” she said.

City arbourist to report findings this week

Tree-poisoning alleged in White Rock Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Neighbours of a controversial White Rock strata development say they witnessed – and captured on video – a deliberate effort to poison a protected tree on one of the lots. According to Geoff Parkin, whose Malabar Avenue home is directly behind the Bishop Hill lot in question, video taken in late November shows a man climbing the 50-foottall tree, drilling holes into its trunk and pouring liquid from a jerry can into the holes. “We’re all sort of stunned,” Parkin told Peace Arch News last week. Parkin said the city’s arbourist has been to the site – and “confirmed to me that

there were drill holes and they could smell chemicals.” City manager Dan Bottrill said Friday the city received the complaint on Nov. 26 and that staff are working with a consulting firm to get to figure out exactly what happened. He said the tree in question was the not the subject of any application to the city. While poisoning has not been confirmed – test results are due this week – Bottrill said suspicion of the act is “sufficient enough that we haven’t been able to conclude our investigation.” There have been three such incidents in the city in the past three or four years, he said. “We’re concerned, we really are. We’ve seen

situations where trees have had to come down,” Bottrill said. The city’s next steps will depend on the test results. The issue is not the first concerning the development. Mayor Wayne Baldwin acknowledged in October that some have been the result of city error. That acknowledgment followed delegations to council by Parkin and neighbour Chris Small, who detailed problems that included side-yard setbacks that were allowed after it was determined staff had provided the developer with inaccurate guidelines; landscape-feature walls that were built too high; and a retaining wall that enabled the devel-

oper to build a patio for one lot that is essentially level with the top of Small’s fence. Following the comments, Baldwin agreed mistakes had been made, apologized to those affected and promised that concerns would be addressed. He described the situation as “not one of our finer moments.” Bottrill confirmed Friday that a stop-work order that resulted from the patio issue remains in place. Parkin described the situation as “a gong show.” “It’s one of those examples where if anything can go wrong it does go wrong,” he said.

15-year-old airlifted

Student struck in crosswalk A 15-year-old South Surrey student was airlifted to hospital with non-life-threatening head injuries Wednesday evening after she was struck by a truck in a marked crosswalk. An RCMP police spokesman said the teen was wearing dark clothing when she stepped into the crosswalk in front of Elgin Park Secondary, in the 13400-block of 24 Avenue, at around 5:30 p.m. and was hit by a westbound Ford F150. A Dec. 5 letter to parents from EPS principal Bruce Filsinger notes the Grade 10 student “is going to be fine.” “There are no internal injuries or head injuries and the student was being kept overnight for observation purposes only,” the letter states. The teen was airlifted to hospital from nearby South Surrey Athletic Park. The truck driver, a 54-year-old Surrey man, told police he didn’t see the pedestrian. He remained at the scene. No charges have been laid. Investigation is ongoing. – Tracy Holmes

Changes at fatal site A lighted crosswalk is coming to the street where three pedestrians were struck, one of them fatally. Amarpeet Sivia, 16, was killed and two of her friends hospitalized in September, after a motorcycle hit them when they were walking across 128 Street near 69 Avenue. The students of Princess Margaret Secondary were jaywalking when they were hit. The tragedy spurred a call for better crossings in the area. The city’s transportation committee met last week and said the city is ready to move forward with a lighted crossing south of 72 Avenue. Several other measures, including fencing near the school, will also be used to deter teens from jaywalking. – Kevin Diakiw

End of the line for the Old Curio Shop Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter

The Old Curio Shop is no more. On Thursday, demolition began on the longtime South Surrey antique and curiosity shop, at 1430 King George Blvd. A demolition crew was on-site Friday morning, tearing down the building and clearing the lot of debris. Much of the contents of the building – which was filled floor-to-ceiling with second-hand items – were still inside during the process, though a security guard at the property suggested family members of Barrie Cohen, the shop’s late owner, had removed some valuables from the property prior to knock-down. The contractors tearing down the building had been hired by property owners, according to City of Surrey bylaw and licensing manager Jas Rehal. “We’ve been in discussions with the family (of Cohen) for the last month or so, and now it’s got to this point,” he said. “The owners have hired a contractor to start the demolition process.” Since Cohen’s death last May, the shop had become the site of what Rehal called “much nuisance activity” including a number of

Revisiting Your Estate Plan Many people pass away without having an estate plan properly documented. Even if you have executed a Last Will and Testament, the question arises: how often does one need to revisit their estate plan? The following developments may require you to do so: 1. Changes in the law. The Wills, Estates and Succession Act (WESA) will officially come into force on March 31, 2014. This new legislation is aimed at simplifying the laws regarding settling a person’s estate by consolidating several existing acts (namely, the Estate Administration Act, the Wills Act, the Wills Variation Act, and the Probate Recognition Act) into one comprehensive act. WESA will introduce several noteworthy changes to the law, including: lowering the age at which an individual can write a will to 16 (currently 19), removing the automatic revocation of a will that occurs when the individual who wrote the will subsequently enters into a marriage, removing the presumption of the younger of joint tenants surviving the older where both die together, and allowing the Courts to rectify a Will which does not conform to all of the requirements of a valid Will. We recommend that you consult your lawyer to ensure that your final wishes will be upheld. 2. Change in your financial situation. Whether you have started a new business or had profitable returns on a new investment, you should consider how you would like to distribute this increase in wealth between your loved ones. Additionally, a large financial windfall may induce you to make transfers during your lifetime in order to reduce fees/taxes arising upon your passing. 3. Change in relationships. Relationship breakdown is an unfortunate reality that many people have to face. Whenever there is a change in relationships, such as a divorce /separation, engagement, or estrangement from a child, it is important to ensure that your estate planning reflects this. 4. Becoming a parent or grandparent. An outdated estate plan may not have taken future children and grandchildren into contemplation. Failing to include a child in your Will may lead to your Will being challenged in court under the Wills Variation Act. Additionally, it may be prudent to consider whom you would like a portion of your estate to be passed on to in the unfortunate event that one of your children predeceases you.

Clockwise from left, Bill ‘Grandpa’ Hanslow in his bicycle shop in 1956.; A.E. Downey is back row centre in this portrait of White Rock boy scouts in 1921. He and his family were early transplants from the Prairies, and dedicated to the community; Pat Hanley helped initiate fundraising for the first hospital (pictured), built in 1954.

Bill was to become the first One of the earliest of the Prairie elected mayor of the city. Stella,

a longtime hospital auxiliary and museum volunteer, explained the unassuming dedication of her fellow imports this way, “Well, we’re not stuck on ourselves.” Other Prairie families, the Hanslows, prominent in the business community (‘Grandpa’ Hanslow, operating a bicycle shop in the east end was understandably popular with the younger set); Graydon Connor and his sister, Aileen Postill, devoted to the interests of children; and many others who made White Rock a city of extraordinary gardens. Thomas Bell and Edith Field brought fame to White Rock with prize-winning exhibits at the PNE. For several years, Bell won first prize for wheat grown on his spare lot on Foster Street. Edith was an expert craftsperson and teacher. Though technically not from the Prairies, but in that general direction – the City of Nelson – Ann and Patrick Hanley were looking to start a new life in White Rock, where Ann had owned a cottage since 1927. They married

in 1945, shortly after Patrick was released from prison having served 20 years for shooting a nurse who refused his romantic advances. During that time, Ann had lobbied incessantly for his release on the grounds of clemency. In White Rock, Patrick went into the insurance business, and Ann continued her third profession, writing. They landed in time to be caught up in the midst of two of the community’s all-engrossing issues: building a hospital, and incorporation. Ann soon organized the Women’s Civic League, formed to lobby for the installation of a sewage disposal in White Rock, and incorporation (White Rock was a ward of Surrey at the time). In 1947, Patrick and a friend each pledged $50 to formally establish the hospital society – both sensible beginnings for the intended projects, and both successful Former city councillor Vin Coyne remembers Patrick as “a community-minded citizen with

great integrity, and always a man of his word.” He attributed the troubles Pat had with his business partner, Tom Moss, to both men being “strongminded and obstinate.” When the partnership broke up, postmaster Don Munro later recalled, both partners laid claim to the business postal box. With a thought to his own safety (and Hanley’s past), he said, “You can guess which one I gave it to.” A community is only what its population makes it, and White Rock is fortunate to have attracted people who have worked ‘for the common good.’ It’s a noble phrase, but the trick is to have the common sense to decide what that common good is. Those Prairie people seemed to have the knack in good measure. The Peninsula’s best-known mother-and-son historians, Lorraine and Hugh Ellenwood, are dedicated to preserving history through the White Rock Museum & Archives.

Conservation group cleans up South Surrey property

Semiahmoo Stables restored Members of the non-profit, faith-based conservation organization donned rubber boots and got their hands dirty last month for a restoration project at Semiahmoo Stables. Led by A Rocha’s Conservation Team watershed stewardship co-ordinator Christy Juteau, the crew of volunteers worked on the area, including on Sam Hill Creek, a salmon-bearing stream that runs through the South Surrey property.

The creek is a two-km tributary of the Little Campbell River, which supports many animals, including birds, fish and amphibians, as well as the spawning and rearing of coho salmon. However, the stream is under constant stress from urban and rural development, a news release stated, causing increased erosion, sedimentation, nutrient overload, fecal contamination and invasive species. The restoration at Semiahmoo

Stables involved construction of a fence to keep horses out of the stream, removal of invasive species and planting of native riparian plant species. Teaming with Surrey’s Salmon Habitat and Restoration Program, the A Rocha Conservation Team are working to assess the Little Campbell River and its tributaries and identify enhancement opportunities in the area to improve habitat conditions.

Latterly, she has also extended her interest to include acrylic painting as well. Dutkowski, who discovered her love of fibre while growing up in England during wartime and the post-war years, is now internationally-recognized as a fibre artist, and has been founder and co-ordinator of White Rock’s Outside The Box festival for three years. While she no longer weaves tapestries, she continues to work with wool and other natural fibres, and was recently given a full page in the book 30 Selected Contemporary Artists, published by the Museum of the Americas Artists Library in Miami.

Defensive struggles continue on two-game Okanagan trip

‘Flat’ Eagles still pick up points on road Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

The weekend started off well for the Surrey Eagles, but ended miserably, leaving the team with another two-game split – and plenty of questions about their defensive play. On Friday in Kelowna, the Eagles started slow but scored three times in the third to edge the West Kelowna Warriors 4-3, but things did not go nearly as well Saturday in Penticton, as the Interior Division-leading Vees – whom the Eagles defeated in last year’s BC Hockey League finals – ran roughshod over the Eagles, 7-1. And while Eagles head coach Peter Schaefer was happy with how Friday’s game ended – even if the start wasn’t great – he was less than enthused with Saturday’s performance. “It was just our level of compete – it wasn’t there. We didn’t come ready to play,” Schaefer said. “I thought we’d come out better, since we played them in the finals last Danton Heinen year, and they’re a firstthree-goal weekend place team, but it was bad enough that I don’t even think you can use the game (as a measuring stick). “You just have to forget about it, throw it out.” Saturday, Penticton led 2-0 after the first period – on goals from Ben Dalpe and Brad McClure, the latter of whom leads the BCHL with 26 goals. In the middle frame, the Vees tagged Surrey with three more goals. The visiting Eagles didn’t get on the board until the 13:51 mark of the third period, when Danton Heinen beat Penticton netminder Olivier Mantha. Bo Didur took the loss in net for Surrey, stopping 26 shots on goal. Friday’s result was better, despite the slow start – “We came out really flat in both games,” Schaefer said – as a three-goals-infive-minutes barrage gave Surrey the win. Neither Surrey nor West Kelowna scored in the opening 20 minutes, but the Warriors led 2-1 after two periods on goals from Reid Simmonds and Seb Lloyd. Jonaf Renouf replied on the power-play for the Eagles, with Matthew Dawson and Braeden Russell picking up assists. In the third period, trailing 3-1, Heinen

The 1-1 road trip left the Eagles in fourth place in the Mainland Division, but they’re now 16 points shy of the first-place Langley Rivermen, and seven back of the thirdplace Coquitlam Express. Only the lowly Chilliwack Chiefs, with a record of 7-22-12, are below them. “We just can’t seem to put a streak together,” Schaefer said. “It was a tough road trip against two

really good teams, so it’s good that we were able to come back and get the one win, but we still have a lot of things we need to address.” Not the least of which is the team’s play in their own end. The Eagles have given up more goals than all but two other teams in the 16-team BCHL, and they’re hardly outscoring their problems – their minus-23 goal differential also puts them near the bottom of the league. Schaefer has said for the last few weeks he’d “definitely” like to address his team’s

Junior star vies for spot at World Junior Hockey Championships

Petan earns tryout-camp nod White Rock’s Nic Petan was among 25 players named to Hockey Canada’s selection camp for the 2013 World Junior Championships last week,. The five-foot-nine 166-pound centre is in his third full season with the Portland Winterhawks of the Western Hockey League. Petan, 19, was drafted in the second round (43rd overall) by the Winnipeg Jets in last June’s National Hockey League Entry Draft. Petan, originally from North Delta, is second among WHL

scorers with 19 goals and 60 points in 28 games played, and is a league-best plus-24. The Hockey Canada selection camp will run Dec. 12-15 in Toronto, after which 22 players will be chosen to play for the national team at the World Junior Championship tournament Dec. 26 to Jan. 5 in Malmo, Sweden. Last season, Petan tallied 46 goals and added 74 assists in 71 games to tie for the league scoring lead with 120 points. He added another nine goals and 28

points in 21 playoff games. He was invited to the 33-player Hockey Canada Under-20 Summer Camp in August in Lake Placid, New York, playing three exhibition games against Finland, Sweden and the United States. He was then invited to the Young Stars Classic in Penticton in September, where he played for the Jets prospect team in a five-day series against four other NHL clubs, rejoining the Winterhawks a week later. – Black Press

Many people suffer from dry eye and don’t know it. Some of the most common symptoms of dry eye are red, burning and gritty feeling eyes. An equally com-

mon symptom associated with dry eye is watery eyes. Many people think this sounds crazy, “how can my eyes be dry if they are watering all the time?” However, if the surface of the eye, called the cornea, gets dry it triggers the body’s reflex tears or crying tears to pour out in an attempt to moisten the surface. There are many different causes of dry eye, some of which include systemic conditions, age, hormonal changes, medications and contact lens wear. A variety of treatment options are available depending on the severity of the dry eye. These may include

ARIES

LIBRA

Participate in something new and interesting this week, Aries. The perfect activity will present itself in the next few weeks, so be sure to keep your eyes open.

Libra, prepare to juggle multiple responsibilities in the coming days. Be ready to multi-task and expect to be pulled in multiple directions.

TAURUS Taurus, delay any upcoming shopping excursions for the time being. Your coffers are getting a bit sparse, and you need to conserve the rest of your funds..

GEMINI

SCORPIO Scorpio, a small misunderstanding turns into a larger battle this week. But you have the power to put the flames out quickly by keeping a cool head.

SAGITTARIUS

Listen to advice this week, Gemini. Loved ones only want to help and provide support, so keep that in mind when those closest to you offer some guidance.

Sagittarius, you are having so much fun lately that it almost seems like life is a game. Just don't get so caught up in the good times that you overlook your responsibilities.

CANCER

CAPRICORN

Cancer, your suspicions may be aroused by someone who has been paying more attention to you than normal. It could be something completely innocent, but right now you're not sure.

Capricorn, you usually take your responsibilities quite seriously, and that is often for the best. Just be sure to let your hair down sometimes and have a little fun.

LEO Every day is a learning process, Leo. You will find that there are a number of new ideas swirling around in your head, and if you pin one down, you may be on to something.

VIRGO Your colleagues at work may be making things difficult, Virgo, but there is nothing you can do about it right now. Just work your hardest, and things will turn out for the best.

AQUARIUS Aquarius, some irregularities have begun to pop up of late. It is not up to you to figure out what is going on, though. Others will discover the truth.

PISCES Pisces, your head may be in the clouds, but it is quite comfortable up there. Just don't linger up there too long.

INFORMATION ADVERTISE in the LARGEST OUTDOOR PUBLICATION IN BC The 2014-2016 BC Hunting Regulations Synopsis

KRAFT Carla Ann B. Nursing, RN September 2, 1948 December 3, 2013 It is with great sadness we announce that Carla Ann Kraft passed away on December 3, 2013 in White Rock BC after a short struggle with cancer. Carla was born in Regina, SK on Sept 2, 1948. Carla completed her RN diploma at the Calgary General Hospital in 1969 followed by a Bachelor of Nursing degree from the University of Calgary. She married, the love of her life, Dennis Kraft in Banff on August 1, 1970. In 1975 Carla and Dennis settled in White Rock BC and commenced a lifelong adventure of travelling the world as Dennis was active in the aviation industry. Carla is survived by Dennis, her loving husband of 43 years, and daughters Paige (Paul Pulver) and Jennifer (John Gibb-Carsley) of Vancouver BC. Carla loved her family and focused on spending quality time with her grandchildren Eli (10), Noa (8) and Parker (2). They took great delight in their grandma’s sense of humor and affection. Carla was predeceased by her parents Fred and Rosalie Wilson of Regina and her brother Jack Wilson of Calgary. She is survived by her sister Donna (Dale Sharples) of Edmonton and sister-in-law, Judy Wilson of Calgary. Carla had a rich and active career in public health administration with the Fraser Health Authority until her retirement in 2012. She and Dennis spent most of 2013 travelling to Antarctica, Argentina, Italy, and Greece until Carla was unexpectedly diagnosed with cancer in late September 2013. Carla was a trusted and respected mentor to her colleagues. She was a champion of young people and women in nursing with a talent and enthusiasm for connecting people. Carla was a great listener with a generous spirit. She made the world a better place. A celebration of Carla’s life will be held on Wednesday, December 11, 2013 at 2pm at St. Mark’s Anglican Church, 12953 20th Avenue, Surrey BC. “Do not fear death but rather the life unlived.
