White Rock officials call on federal government to shift rail shipments to rural route

Dangerous goods urged for Sumas Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

In a critical letter to Minister of Transport Lisa Raitt, White Rock officials say hauling dangerous goods by rail through their “densely populated” city is unacceptable. And they all but demand steps be taken to re-route such trains 30 kilometres east to a BNSF rail line that runs to and from the U.S. at Sumas Crossing in Abbotsford.

While the letter specifies a ‘spur line’ in Sumas, it suggests there are other options. “The City of White Rock would like to see all dangerous goods re-routed to the Sumas Crossing, or some other route available to the BNSFR,” the letter states. Informed Wednesday of White Rock’s letter, an Abbotsford councillor said re-routing dangerous goods through his community would be “shifting a problem to a different jurisdiction.” i see page 4

‘Disgusting’ amount of garbage had to be dealt with, city says

Clearing concerns expressed after trim Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Work to clear shrubs, invasive vegetation and hazardous trees from White Rock’s waterfront hillside looked a little rough this week. But it will get better, officials say. Greg St. Louis, the city’s director of engineering and municipal operations, said Tuesday a city-contracted crew is continuing to fine-tune last week’s clearing, including cutting branches,

tidying trunks – and dealing with a “disgusting” amount of garbage. The work was undertaken in part to restore view corridors. The refuse – including numerous cans and bottles – was revealed during the removal of blackberry bushes and other shrubbery. “It’s very unfortunate that people litter that much,” St. Louis said. He said additional garbage cans will be placed in the area in an effort to curb the problem.

Best Location, Best Value in White Rock!

Another surprise find that has to be dealt with is a trail and partially built stairs. While Peace Arch News heard from residents concerned about the aftermath of the clearing – one noting its possible impact on eagles that routinely roost in the hillside’s mature trees – St. Louis said he has fielded just one complaint. He anticipates the last of the work will be wrapped up by Monday, with results of a stability check of the hillside expected in a few weeks.

Conservative nomination in that riding is a ticket to Ottawa. Rasode, the first South Asian woman on council, will scoop up a lot of votes from that community. However, Watts has made many connections in that community and will get plenty of support, should she run again. Gaining support from NDP voters may help Rasode, but only to a degree. Many people who vote NDP provincially don’t bother to vote in municipal elections. The weakness and eventual disappearance of leftleaning SCC is partial proof of that. NDP support in Surrey fell sharply in the 2013 provincial election. But despite those factors, Rasode remains a formidable challenger, should she and Watts square off. The ball is now in the mayor’s court. She will have to reveal her intentions soon. But she needs to keep in mind Surrey voters’ fairly constant record of giving mayors about a decade or so in office, and then tossing them out. It happened to her two predecessors, Bob Bose and McCallum. Don Ross, before Bose, served eight years (he won four two-year terms) and then stepped aside. When he ran again in 1990, he was soundly defeated. Only one Surrey mayor has served more than nine consecutive years in office. When Tom Sullivan was in the top council job, the correct term for the office was reeve. He was in office from 1910 to 1920. Frank Bucholtz writes Thursdays for the Peace Arch News.

Police committee advises increase, after RCMP ‘realizes significant savings’

Surrey’s officer increase boosted to 95 Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Surrey’s police committee has committed to hiring 95 RCMP officers over the next five years – 35 more than had previously been included in the city’s existing five-year plan. Mayor Dianne Watts said the number came from a study initiated by Dr. Irwin Cohen last October. Cohen is the RCMP research chair at the University of the Fraser Valley. The city’s police committee met on Wednesday and recommended the hiring boost. More of the 95 officers could be hired earlier in the five-year plan if deemed necessary, Watts said. The extra 35 officers being committed for hire come at a total cost of about $5 million annually, but with no cost to the taxpayer, Watts said. Surrey RCMP Chief Supt. Bill Fordy said the cost of the officers can be covered

through efficiencies, such as RCMP health care that’s now paid for by the province rather than municipalities. “We’ve realized significant savings that I’ll be following up on with the city manager and the general manager of finance,” Fordy told Black Press. “In that process, subject to their authority, I believe we can increase (the allocation to) 95 police officers.” Last January, Coun. Barinder Rasode called for 45 new officers to be hired immediately, to bring the number of boots on the ground to the ratio promised in the 2007 Crime Reduction Strategy (CRS). The much-touted document, a cornerstone of the current municipal administration, makes several promises regarding policing and public safety. Among them is “that the city continue its commitment to allocate resources to police services in proportion to the city’s overall growth at a minimum of

Additional officers at ‘no cost to taxpayer.’ one officer to every 700 residents or better.” At the time of Rasode’s request, Watts challenged the notion that the required increase in Mounties was as high as 45, but said there’s no question this city needs more police. “We know we need more police resources,” Watts told Black Press in January. “If I could have another 100, and pay $15 million for

that, I would do it tomorrow.” Watts said Wednesday the new increase has nothing to do with Rasode’s request. She said the decision was entirely based on the study being undertaken by Cohen. In addition to the increase in RCMP officers, the police committee endorsed hiring 20 Community Safety Patrol personnel, half of which will start work immediately within the Newton Town Centre. Aside from the increase in RCMP officers and the addition of Community Safety Patrol and Community Constables (who will carry firearms and have the power to arrest people), the City of Surrey will also move from reporting its crime statistics on a quarterly basis to a monthly basis. The data will be open to everyone. The announcement of new officers is still subject to the endorsement of Surrey council at its regular meeting next Monday.

Letters sent by CUPE

City union calls for residents’ support Unionized City of White Rock workers are now warning business owners and residents directly of possible strike action. In a statement issued Tuesday afternoon, CUPE 402-01 president Mike Guraliuk said letters have been sent “to ensure that their community hears directly from (the union) about why they are considering job action at this time.” “We don’t want to disrupt services, but until we see concrete progress, we feel we have little choice,” Guraliuk states. The union’s letter to White Rock residents and businesses explains what services the CUPE workers provide in the city and what the issues are at the bargaining table. It also asks for their support in pressuring the mayor and council. The threat of strike action has been looming over the city since February, when workers – who have been without a contract since Dec. 31, 2011 – voted 94 per cent in favour of striking if they could not come to an agreement with their employer. It came closer after two days of mediated talks ended in a stalemate on April 1, prompting the Labour Relations Board to set essential-service levels. That was finalized on April 14, and Guraliuk predicted at that time that 72-hour strike notice would be issued by the week’s end. Two days later, CUPE spokeswoman Roseanne Moran told Peace Arch News that new talks had been scheduled for the two groups for late this week. Guraliuk said the mediated meetings are set for April 25-27. – Tracy Holmes

Highway havoc

Crews work to clear a flipped semi-trailer from Highway 10 Wednesday. Police say three people injured in the dramatic crash are lucky to be alive. The highway was shut down for about three hours after the semi collided with a van at the intersection of 168 Street at about 6:45 a.m.

Resident, 78, fails to have concerns heard by Surrey committees

Activist senior feels ‘shunted aside’ Alex Browne Staff Reporter

A Surrey senior who was bumped from city committee to city committee in a quest to be heard has vowed to continue her fight to save trees in her Grandview Heights neighbourhood – and champion a significant tract of city land as a heritage park. And Coun. Barinder Rasode – after hearing of the “obstacles” Sybil Rowe has faced so far – is backing the senior’s appeal to be properly heard. Rasode said she will introduce a motion Monday calling for Rowe’s concerns to be heard by a full committee meeting of council. Rowe, 78, said she was ready to throw in the towel this week after learning that a presentation she was preparing would not be included in the agenda of Wednesday’s environmental sustainability advisory committee meeting. The reason given? Because she appeared before the parks, recreation, sports and tourism committee on April 16. At that meeting, chair Coun. Linda Hepner told Rowe she needed to address her concerns over tree preservation to the environment committee. The irony, Rowe said, is that she had never wanted to address the parks committee, but had been referred there by council. Rowe said her concerns with preservation

Why my Mother Derailment concerns in Sumas, too is So Special i from page 1 Coun. Henry Braun, former president of railroad-contractor PNR RailWorks, said that though Abbotsford has a lower population than White Rock, the potential impact of an incident on farmland is of great concern. He noted the population of the Fraser Valley is expected to greatly increase in coming years. While Braun said he is not against transporting dangerous goods – as the economy relies on it – he said the federal government and railroad companies should find ways to address railway safety for all communities through more stringent regulations and better equipment. Meyer, who chairs White Rock’s task force, told PAN his city’s direct approach was intentional. “The letter makes strong points to… get this conversation started in a serious manner,” he said. The letter notes: “One might ask why would White Rock and South Surrey merit special concern for the transport of dangerous goods.” It suggests that in addition to general density, the waterfront is particularly busy during the summer; the beaches have “the absolute highest environmental rating”; and a derailment in the bluff area between White Rock and South Surrey’s Crescent Beach would provide no evacuation route for Crescent Beach. Other points cited include slope instability; a UBC study that

A waterfront train runs Monday. concludes vibrations from passing trains exceed recommended guidelines; and concerns with the condition of the rail bridge over Little Campbell River. The letter states that despite those concerns being raised to Transport Canada shortly after the Lac-Mégantic derailment, they have yet to be addressed. “The bridge remains in a shocking state of disrepair and the train traffic is not only unabated, it is increasing and the loads are getting heavier.” (BNSF officials say plans to replace the bridge have been stymied by negotiations with Semiahmoo First Nation for access rights to the property.) The city’s letter is critical of the apparent inaction to date. “It is totally unacceptable that a railroad carrying dangerous goods through one of the most densely populated municipalities in B.C., along the most ecologically sensitive shoreline in the province, could allow its infrastructure to decay to such a shocking state.” The bridge “is so rusted out that

one can literally punch a hole in the web of the cross member I-beams with their fingers.” Meyer said the bridge is among issues he will discuss at a meeting with BNSF officials next week in Seattle. Safety of rail crossings, extend White Rock’s promenade and the hope of a caboose for the waterfront are also on the list. Meyer noted that while the letter comes across as critical of BNSF’s inaction on the rail bridge and limited co-operation when it comes to sharing details of train cargo, it is not intended as an attack on the company or railway. It requests a meeting with Raitt, which Baldwin hopes can occur during next month’s Federation of Canadian Municipalities conference in Niagara Falls. The idea of relocating the line was discussed at a community forum hosted by the City of Surrey in December. At that time, Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts presented four options for realigning the BNSF tracks, with three of the routes just east of 176 Street. Some attendees were not pleased at the suggestion to move the problem from one community to another. Meyer acknowledged no one solution will eliminate all risk, nor will it please everyone. “If you can get dangerous goods in general going through a rural or sparsely populated area, that’s got to be better,” he said. “There’s ways to make things safer…” – with files from Alex Butler

Motor-vehicle accidents involving pedestrians are an increasing problem on Surrey roads, police say.

Nearly half of fatal accidents in Surrey involved pedestrians last year

Boulevard of broken bones Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Three hundred and fifty people have been cited for jaywalking in Surrey in the last two months, as Surrey RCMP attempt to stem the bloodshed on local roads. Pedestrians aren’t faring well on Surrey roads. Over the span of three days earlier this year, three pedestrians were hit by vehicles – including one fatally. On Jan. 21, a 20-year-old woman was killed when she was hit by a semi-truck at 104 and King George Boulevard. The next morning, Jan. 22, an 81-year-old man, who police said is deaf, was hit by a car at 139 Street and 104 Avenue. He was jaywalking at the time, and was taken to hospital with minor injuries. And on Jan. 23, a 33-year-old man was hit by a van at 108 Avenue and King George Boulevard. He was walking at a lighted crossing, with the light, when a van turned right, crashing into him. He suffered severe bruising from the accident. Last year in Surrey there were 17 fatal motor-vehicle accidents.

Eight of them – almost 50 per cent – involved pedestrians, a figure police say has been consistent over the years. Regionally, the average is 30 percent pedestrian involvement, and provincially, it’s 15 per cent. The bottom line, police say, is the public – both drivers and pedestrians – need to get educated about road awareness. Following January’s fatalities, Surrey RCMP launched a ticketing blitz called “Just Don’t Jaywalk,” and in the last two months has handed out 350 citations to people failing to used marked crossings. By comparison, Vancouver officers wrote 334 jaywalking tickets in all of last year. Police say there are several factors leading to the carnage on Surrey roads. Among them are: • Speed: Both pedestrians and drivers aren’t leaving enough time to get to their destination. Drivers are travelling above the posted speed limit, and pedestrians aren’t taking a few minutes to get to a crosswalk, opting instead to jaywalk. • Distractions: Again, both drivers and pedestrians are paying

attention to things other than the road. Drivers are spending time on cellphones, tuning radios, or eating and sipping coffee while pedestrians are often distracted by mobile devices. “Although we always blame the distraction on drivers, pedestrians have to make sure they are not distracted as well,” said Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet. • Intersection awareness: Drivers have to be extremely aware of a multitude of things at intersections. Often, drivers are not watching for the unexpected, such as a pedestrian stepping off the curb. Eye contact is crucial to both drivers and pedestrians so that each is comfortable with what the other is doing. If a crash does occur, Paquet says one of the most serious mistakes a driver can make is leaving the scene of the accident, noting a call for assistance could save the life of the person hit. If a driver leaves the scene of an accident, they are guilty of a hit and run. What was an offence under the Motor Vehicle Act (punishable by a ticket) becomes a criminal matter and could involve jail time, Paquet said.

Whaling Wall wake-up call

s Wyland’s Whaling Wall White Rock’s proverbial line in the sand? It’s often hard to judge what will rouse the ire of residents in the our often sleepy ‘City by the Sea.’ Whether it’s apathy, a lack of caring or grudging resignation in the face of inevitable change, there seem to be only a few issues guaranteed to raise the hackles. Increasing building height is one. Pay parking is another. Add to the short list a new item: any threat to the continued existence of the internationally celebrated marine artist’s mural, which for 30 years now has adorned the side of a commercial building, facing Russell Avenue. Those wondering about the place of the arts in the hearts and minds of the Semiahmoo Peninsula would do well to note public reaction to the mistake made last week – when someone had the temerity to bolt a realtor’s ‘For Lease’ sign to the face of the mural. There are many who would see this act as a symbol of growing commercial insensitivity to White Rock’s sense of self (although, to its credit, the company concerned was quick to acknowledge and attempt to rectify the error). Is the city itself, some will ask, for lease or for sale? The outcry – which spread rapidly through social media – may also seem surprising in a community that, for all its avowed support of the arts, often seems curiously indifferent to them. All these people upset over a painting? The answer is: of course. Never mind that Wyland scarcely qualifies as a local artist – his work was taken to our hearts many years ago. Peninsula residents have taken ownership of it, proud that it represents a discipline-crossing link to other arts and naturefriendly communities around the world also chosen for the murals. As internationally recognized South Surrey dance mentor Susie Green notes online, for example, Wyland’s characteristic whales are also a major feature of the Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Centre where 1,000 young dance artists from 27 countries performed world-class pieces at last week’s Dance Excellence 2014. If the recent farrago has an upside, it is that it has focused attention locally on the need for preservation of the wall, and what steps can be taken to protect it from further encroachment in a landscape of rapid redevelopment. For a city that also prides itself as the birthplace of International Artists Day, this would seem to be a priority.

a major refinery. They are focused on extraction, which is more profitable. One of them challenged me to spearhead the refinery myself, so I am doing that. We have a solid business plan and, as a consequence, Chinese banks and others are prepared to lend us most of the funds required to build the greenest and most efficient refinery in the world. We are moving ahead with engineering design and environmental work. We will also build a safe pipeline from Alberta to the refinery, with the active participation of First Nations. Modern pipelines can be built and operated safely. Furthermore, some of the best pipelining companies are based in Canada. In addition, we will build a fleet of new tankers – powered by LNG rather than Bunker C oil – to transport the refined products to Asia. This way, we know the tankers will be state-of-the-art and as safe as possible. Let me be up front about my biases. I am for creating thousands of good permanent jobs in B.C. I am for creating billions of new tax dollars for government coffers. I am for reducing the planet’s greenhouse-gas emissions. I am for building an oil pipeline that will never leak.

Leaders should speak for us Editor: Re: ‘Isolated’ councillor quits Surrey First, April 17. I read the recent Peace Arch News article about Coun. Barinder Rasode splitting from Surrey First and declaring that “I believe I would make a very strong voice for the residents of Surrey, a very competent voice as well.” I would like to know which residents of Surrey Rasode is claiming to represent? My recollection is that despite hundreds of South Surrey residents holding meetings and attending city hall not long ago to voice a strong and clear message that we did not want a casino in our neighbourhood – opposed residents far out numbering proponent residents, most of whom did not live near the proposed casino site – Rasode voted in favour of the casino anyway. It was Mayor Dianne Watts who listened to the concerned residents and voted against the casino. A reminder, Ms. Rasode, that I will not be voting for you in the next election, no matter whether you run again for councillor or for mayor. You have clearly demonstrated you favour money and development over the concerns of residents who care more about what happens in their neighbourhood than expanding your tax-revenue base. K. Jones, Surrey Q The front page of the April 17 edition of PAN told how Coun. Barinder Rasode has quit the Surrey First team and is thinking of running for mayor, along with other possible contenders, current councillors Bruce Hayne, Tom Gill and Linda Hepner. This, providing Mayor Dianne Watts does not run. Among Rasode’s priorities: public safety, spending, public engagement and transparency at city hall. Nowhere did you quote her speaking of the impossible illegal suite situation, roads improvement or the overcrowding being created by the ridiculous buildup of townhome complexes in Surrey. Just more political rhetoric. It is time that this municipal group of self-serving politicians be replaced by people who actually want to serve the whole community, not simply the block voters. Richard Conley, Surrey

Ambulance Service (BCAS). A third-party research paper recently completed by the University of Fraser Valley (UFV) evaluates the response times of BCAS and fire to medical calls. The Surrey Fire Department follows the code 2 or “routine response” protocols as determined by the BCAS dispatch. Surrey Fire Department does not deviate in any manner as implied in the story. As you state, the protocol changes are contentious, but you don’t acknowledge that is for good reason. I have witnessed firsthand the lower level of patient care. As indicated by the UFV research, the gap in response time has not been created by fire unnecessarily rushing to 35 per cent of the calls. I cannot speak for all municipalities, but in Surrey we are conforming to the changes and following BCAS protocols on emergency and non-emergency calls. BCEHS safety director George Papadoupolous’s statement that there would be no difference in delay time if first responders went ‘routine’ is untrue. Both Surrey and Vancouver have been responding ‘routine,’ and both have experienced delays roughly double to what was previous. BCEHS attempts to justify the controversial changes in protocols by suggesting patients that are known to be worst case receive more rapid response. What of the patients that are not known to be worst case by telephone diagnosis, patient conditions deteriorating or scene hazards that we find on our arrival? I sincerely hope the attention drawn to this matter will result in truly objective measures that result in better patient care; before now, that has not been the case.

In my view, if BCEHS does not value a greater role for first responders, the alternative is adding more ambulances on the street – which may not be the most efficient or effective use of resources. Mike McNamara, president, Surrey Fire Fighters Association

No proof of sustainability Editor: Re: Living proof of sustainability, April 10. The “living wall” at Semiahmoo Library is anything but proof of sustainability. Some folks seem to have forgotten this “living wall” cost Surrey taxpayers an extra quarter of a million dollars to construct. In addition, we have not seen any figures on annual maintenance costs, and we’re likely not going to as I’m sure they are well buried in the parks and recreation budget. Lastly, I have seen no information regarding how the life expectancy of the wall may be impacted, versus a standard wall. Will the moisture over a period of years adversely impact on its strength and imperviousness? As the building ages, will it require extra maintenance and repairs? Only time will tell the real story. I have no real problem with the appearance, but it would have been a great wall to paint a historical picture/collage of this community’s early days. Paintings in other communities have been beautiful, and they draw a lot of positive attention. They also cost a lot less. There may be a small heating cost saving over the year, but that

Dog days must be numbered Editor: Dog people, please be aware that when you put your dog’s poop into a plastic bag and throw it in the bushes, you are creating a biohazard. Their feces will ferment into a toxic soup that will poison any living organism that comes into contact with it. This means squirrels, birds, insects, etc. I have taken it upon myself to remove many plastic bags from Crescent Park, but I always find new ones thrown in the trees by some thoughtless dog person. I suspect the rest of Surrey is just as bad. I believe it is time to ban all dogs from public parks in Surrey. Chew on that. Steve Hovan, Surrey

Texada OK paves way for Fraser Surrey Docks, critics say

Opponents criticize coal stockpile approval Jeff Nagel Black Press

Environmental groups opposing a new coalexport terminal at Fraser Surrey Docks are accusing the province of quietly paving the way for the project by allowing much more coal storage on Texada Island. Coal from the U.S. would be hauled by rail through White Rock, South Surrey and Delta to Fraser Surrey Docks and then barged to Texada, where it would be reloaded to oceangoing ships. An amended mines permit enabling coalstorage capacity to double to 800,000 tonnes was issued to Lafarge Canada’s Texada Quarrying operation in March. It already handles coal from the Quinsam coal

Critics say concerned residents only learned of the amendment after it was disclosed in an April 10 email from B.C.’s Environmental Assessment Office. “It seemed to be quietly issued without anyone knowing,” said Laura Benson, a coal

campaigner with the Dogwood Initiative. Mines ministry spokesman Matt Gordon said all mines permitting decisions are “completely independent of any political influence.” He said the application was the subject of a public meeting last August and interested parties were notified when the permit was amended. Opponents say they’re getting legal advice on whether the provincial approval of

the amended mining permit is sufficient or if – as they believe – the Texada operation should be forced to obtain an environmental permit. Area residents say coal from the existing operation has repeatedly ended up on the beach at Texada despite the permit banning releases into the water or foreshore. They

say they’ve brought evidence to the province but have been ignored. Environment Minister Mary Polak on April 8 told the Legislature there is no waste discharge from the coal handling at Texada and therefore no jurisdiction for the environment ministry. She said the Texada operation will be

regulated by the mining permit and the Fraser Surrey Docks proposal is entirely under federal jurisdiction. Port Metro Vancouver has not indicated when it will make a final decision on the Fraser Surrey Docks project. The proposed $15-million terminal was again delayed in February when the port

authority ordered Fraser Surrey Docks to gather more information on potential human health impacts to fill in gaps in its flawed environmental assessment. Benson said the port’s refusal to conduct a comprehensive healthimpact assessment means the province should step in and order one.

Police are seeking suspects in a string of armed robberies targeting cell phone stores in Surrey in recent weeks. Surrey RCMP are investigating three robberies and say surveillance footage indicates one of the suspects was involved in each incident. One of the robberies took place at Wireless World at 128 Street and 96 Avenue, and two more robberies occurred at a second Wireless World location just minutes away at 128 Street and 84

Avenue. At one store, a gun was used, while other weapons, including a machete, were brandished at the other store. Employees were also reportedly tied up. In each incident, the culprits made off with thousands of dollars worth of smartphones.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Exercise program builds strength and discipline

Code Blue bringing students together Tracy Holmes

Staff Reporter

urpies, sit-ups, push-ups, sprints – it’s not how most high school students would choose to spend their Friday afternoons, particularly knowing the workout is going to come with a lot of yelling. But that’s been the scene in one of Semiahmoo Secondary’s gyms every Friday afternoon since September, ❝All the exercises where an we make them average of do, it’s all about 40 students team-building and turn out problem-solving.❞ week after week for Const. Susan Caley an intense workout under the guidance of South Surrey RCMP Const. Troy Derrick. At first blush, “intense” is a description that may appear a bit of an understatement for the program, dubbed Code Blue. “If you can talk, you’re not listening right now,” Derrick barks when student chatter interrupts a set of instructions that he has no intention of repeating. “Get back up. Let’s go.” Assisted by South Surrey special Const. Susan Caley, White Rock auxiliary Const. Allison Voth and Squamish RCMP Const. Amandeep Mandair, Derrick puts the students through the paces over and over before leading them outside for more. While building strength and endurance through police-style physical training is an important part of Code Blue, in reality, the program is that and so much more. Observers who stick around for the full hour on a Friday – or on a Wednesday, where it’s in its second year at Earl Marriott Secondary – will quickly notice that Derrick and the other police representatives don’t simply give orders, they also follow them. When the students are doing pushups, so are the officers. When it’s time to run, everyone runs.

Tracy Holmes photos

Semi students participate in Code Blue, a program led by South Surrey RCMP Const. Troy Derrick and Special Const. Susan Caley, with volunteer help from WR auxiliary Allison Voth and Squamish Const. Mandeep Mandair. And when energy appears to wane, there’s no shortage of encouragement. “You own this. You got this,” Derrick tells the teens.

It’s a formula of building inner strength, discipline and confidence that Semi youth-care worker Bridget Roope says is paying off in spades for the students.

“It’s been huge,” says Roope, who participates alongside the teens and officers. “Their self-confidence, just seeing their ability in themselves

physically and just seeing them grow as a group and working together as a team on things.” One exercise last week had the students form groups of five or six and lift a heavy bench over their heads. They had to make like the bench was one of their buddies, and imagine they were carrying them through shoulder-deep water, all the while making sure their buddy doesn’t go under. “It sucks, it hurts, but here’s the deal – you’re all in it together,” Derrick tells the students, giving a not-so-subtle hint for success. “That’s the key,” Caley tells directors of the Semiahmoo Volunteer Community Police Society who turned out to watch. “They’ve got to figure it out themselves. All these exercises we make them do, it’s all about teambuilding, problem-solving…” SVCPS chair Darren Alexander said the society has made Code Blue its signature program, and a focus of its next Red Serge fundraising gala, set for Oct. 2 at Washington Avenue Grill. The hope is to expand the program into Elgin Park Secondary. Society secretary and Semi alumnus Andrea Martisca said it was “pretty amazing when you actually see what they’re doing and the growth in the kids.” “This is so great because it’s about the kids,” she said. Asked what he gets out of Code Blue, Grade 12 student Kristian Chalmers listed “a lot” of discipline, leadership and co-operative skills. The regime also complements the training he does with Semi’s track team. Roope noted that Derrick is as quick to commend the students as he is to ream them out for not trying their best. And in Code Blue, she said, the playing field is level. “There is a reward and a good feeling at the end there, of accomplishment,” said Roope. “Const. Derrick is really good at spearheading that we’re all equal.”

Assistant manager Michael Ross has been with Foto Source for 18 years.

Foto Source a second home for two generations

The family tradition Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

Michael Ross may not have been aware of it when he first visited Foto Source in Central Plaza as a newborn baby, but the longstanding business would be like a second home to him. The 30-year-old worked his first day at Foto Source 18 years ago, taking out the garbage, among other errands. But his connection to the business started long before then, thanks to his father, Terry, who last month retired from his position as manager after nearly five decades with the store. “As a matter of fact, the day I was born, my parents brought me into the store,” he said, laughing. “(Terry) was the original employee.” Not too far behind was the younger Ross, who is the assistant manager at the White Rock store, with 12-year veteran Debbie Weir taking over as manager after the duo consulted with owner Ed Reid about promoting from within. “We both know the company and we both know the industry,” Ross said of the new roles. “It made sense

to keep it in hands that already knew the business.” Born and raised in South Surrey, Ross initially may have been drawn into the business because of his father, but it was a passion for creative arts that kept him there for nearly 20 years. “I really got into the digital aspect of it, you know, Photoshop and the photo manipulation aspect of it, that’s what really hooked me,” he said. That knowledge and passion for digital work will be important for the business as the industry changes and evolves away from traditional prints. “There is a challenge, and right now, the photo industry as a whole is trying to solve that challenge,” Ross said. Fortunately, while across the country printing has slowly faded, Ross noted, there are still a fair number of people in the community who prefer the traditional route when it comes to photos. “Luckily for us, being the only camera store in White Rock and South Surrey, we fill that niche. We’re quite lucky that way,” he said.

Developer’s Public Information Meeting 15520 Russell Avenue The City of White Rock has received an application for 15520 Russell Avenue for a Zoning Amendment to rezone from RT-1 Two Unit (Duplex) Residential to RI-1 One Unit (Inﬁll 1) Residential Zone (South of Hospital Lands). A public information meeting is scheduled for the public to review this application: Date: Tuesday April 29, 2014 Time: 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Location: White Rock Library, 15342 Buena Vista Avenue. The meeting will be an open house format with displays of the proposed development.

Notice of White Rock Business Licence Bylaw Amendment No. 2060 NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that pursuant to Section 59 of the Community Charter, City of White Rock Council will be considering final reading of “White Rock Business Licence Bylaw, 1997, No. 1510, Amendment No. 3 Bylaw, 2014, No. 2060“ at their regular meeting of Monday, April 28, 2014 at 7:00 p.m. at the White Rock Community Centre, 15154 Russell Avenue, White Rock, BC. The purpose of the bylaw is to amend the business licence periods to be valid for one (1) year to expire on the same day of the month following the one (1) year anniversary of the date the business licence was issued. All persons who consider they are affected by proposed Bylaw No. 2060 shall be afforded an opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions reflecting matters contained in the bylaw. Written submissions must be received by the City Clerk by 4:00 p.m. Monday, April 28, 2014. Copies of the proposed bylaw in full may be inspected in the City Clerk’s Office at White Rock City Hall, 15322 Buena Vista Avenue, White Rock, BC, Monday to Friday between the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., excluding statutory holidays.

WITH CLINICALLY PROVEN BENEFITS TO THE HUMAN BODY Celliant® has been proven in clinical tests to reduce pain, increase oxygen levels, and help balance body temperature. Each of these results can have added benefits including faster healing, increased performance, better quality sleep, and improved overall wellness, all of which can help alleviate the symptoms of arthritis and peripheral vascular disease often associated with diabetes. The key to Celliant® lies in its ability to absorb and store the electromagnetic (energy) emission from the human body and release them where they are reabsorbed into the skin and deep muscle tissue. In the deep muscle tissue they act as catalysts for natural, biological processes resulting in enhanced oxygen levels and more balanced body temperature during sleep, rest or physical activity.

Denham’s office heard public submissions warning that disclosures of mental health information vastly increases the potential for discrimination and further stigmatizes those afflicted. Some submissions also warned the spectre of inappropriate police disclosure may deter some people from seeking help during a mental health crisis. The report recounts individual cases of B.C. residents denied a job or unable to volunteer for youth coaching due to unproven police suspicions that never led to charges or past suicide attempts that turned up in their employer-required police information search. That left some job applicants struggling to explain to prospective bosses why they were once suicidal or hospitalized for depression. Some said they have yet to land a job.

The White Rock empty nesters – Steve, a veteran broadcaster with a stunning array of cross-country hosting credits and ongoing international voice-over work, and Donna, with years of experience in the natural health and supplements industries – joined forces three years ago for the Natural Health Show, theme-driven format billed as “real health for real people.” “We are now the most-listened-to health show in the country, with 75,000 dedicated listeners,” said Donna, while the couple notes they have settled into regular broadcast time slots at opposite ends of the country: 5 p.m. Pacific Time Sundays on Vancouver’s AM 980; and 11 a.m. (Eastern Time) Saturdays at Toronto’s AM 740 (Zoomer Radio).

Ad Libitum to guest with Vancouver group

White Rock choir set to perform The senior ensemble of the White Rock Children’s Choir will be guests of the Vancouver Welshmen’s Choir for a concert Saturday, May 3, 7:30 pm., at White Rock Baptist Church (1657 140 St.). It’s a Grand Night for Singing will feature well-known and favourite songs from stage and screen, highlighting the fourpart harmony skills of both groups. Hometown favourites, the Ad Libitum Concert Choir, under the direction of Sarona Mynhardt, are coming to the concert fresh from a signal honour

Contributed photo

Ad Libitum will team with Vancouver Welshmen’s Choir May 3. – an April 14 appearance at Carnegie Hall in New York. International travel is familiar to both choirs – the VWMC is planning a European river cruise tour in summer 2015. The VWMC has grown from

relatively humble beginnings in 1980 – three Welsh friends discovered they were missing the music of their homeland and decided to start a choir – to the current group of 100 members. They range in age from high

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

After a year away, rugby grudge match returns to South Surrey

Sandcastle Cup battle back on the pitch Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

fter a one-year hiatus due to scheduling conflicts, one of the Semiahmoo Peninsula’s biggest high school sports rivalries is set to be renewed. This afternoon (Thursday) at South Surrey Athletic Park, the Sandcastle Cup – the annual senior boys rugby grudge match between Semiahmoo Totems and Earl Marriott Mariners – will be back up for grabs. The trophy is more than two decades old, and in recent years has been firmly in the grasp of the Earl Marriott Mariners, who’ve won each year since 2009. In 2012 – the last time the cup was up for grabs – EMS won handily, 67-7. In 2011, the Mariners also won in convincing fashion, 28-0. But despite the recent run of success for the Mariners, no one at the 16 Avenue school is taking this year’s game lightly. In fact, their attitude towards the traditional tilt is quite the opposite. “We’ve won it for a few years now, but before that, Semi won it for something like 19, 20 years in a row,” said EMS coach Adam Roberts, who won the game as a player with Semiahmoo in the late 1990s. “When you think about it, the Sandcastle Cup is still more Semi’s than it is ours.” No game was held last year between the two sides, because Marriott spent time in late-April and early May in Japan – competing in the 2013 Sanix World Rugby Youth Invitational. Upon their return to the Lower Mainland, it was was the Totems who had a full plate, schedule-wise; in order to qualify for provincials – which they did – they had to travel to Kelowna late in the season for a play-in game. But this year, schedules were back in sync so the Sandcastle game could be staged. “No doubt, we really missed not having the game last year,” said Mariners captain Nick Wright. “It’s a big deal for us, and it means a lot. It’s too bad we weren’t able to make it work last year because we all wanted to play.” Wright has seen more Sandcastle Cup contests than probably any player who will hit the pitch today; his dad, Don, was an EMS coach in the early 2000s, and often would bring his son along to watch. “I’ve seen every game since I was about four,” Wright said. Like his coach, Wright wasn’t putting too much stock in past results, either – “Past years don’t matter, it’s always different,” he said – and expects today’s battle to be a

The Sandcastle Cup – lasted played in 2012 – is a tradition that pits Semiahmoo and Earl Marriott rugby teams against one another. tough one. “Semi is strong, they’re always strong,” he said. “They have some really good players over there. We all know each other from Bayside (club rugby) or school – it’s a small community, and it’s always fun when you know the faces across the field from you. “Nobody wants to lose to their friends.” This year, Semi is playing in the senior boys Tier 1 division – Earl Marriott, as well as Elgin Park, play in the elite league – and head coach Tom Wilson admits his team is in “a development year.” “We have a lot of rookies, guys who are new to the sport,” he said. “But we also have a core group of guys who’ve been (playing for years).”

Among that core are the team’s co-captains, Liam Wilson and Matt Gallagher. It’s players like those two that give Roberts pause, no matter who is playing in what tier this season. “Matt Gallagher is one of the best scrumhalfs in B.C.,” Roberts said. “He’s very dangerous and we have to watch out for him.” For his part, Gallagher – who said he’s “been waiting for this game since Grade 8” – said his team will have no margin for error if they want to return the Sandcastle Cup title to Semiahmoo’s halls. “It’d be really great to get that trophy back for our school,” he said. “But we know how good EMS is, and we know they’re going to

give us a great game. We’ll have to be on our ‘A’ game, absolutely 100 per cent. “But anything is possible. I’m really excited to play, and we’ll see what happens.” As well, the raucous atmosphere that surrounds the contest each year – students from each school routinely paint themselves in school colours and cheer from the slope just west of the field – can help swing momentum either way, Roberts added. “The first 20 minutes of these games is always just a dogfight,” he said. “And all you have to do is get up for one game, and for one game, anything can happen.” The game kicks off at 3 p.m. “We’re amped about it. We want to give everybody a good game,” said Liam Wilson.

Marc Fontaine is fastest local in prestigious marathon

Runners cross Boston finish line This time, everybody finished the race. A handful of Semiahmoo Peninsula runners took part in Monday’s Boston Marathon, and unlike last year – which saw the race cut short due to the tragic finish-line bombings – all were able to cross the finish line. Marc Fontaine, 59, was the first South Surrey runner to finish the race, crossing the finish line on Boston’s famous Boylston Avenue in a time of three hours, 19 minutes and 47 seconds. He ran the 26-mile (42 km)

route at a 7:38 pace-per-mile, and was 130th in his age/gender division. Next to cross the line was Bert Van Donkersgoed, 46, who finished the race in 3:36:04. Dee Makepeace, 49, was the fastest Peninsula woman on the course, finishing the run in 3:55:42. Other local finishers included 66-year-old Ray Baker, who finished in 4:01:17; Al Benson, 61, who clocked a time of 4:08:39; Linda Garrett, 56, who was a minute behind Benson in

4:09:57; Lynne Spence, 67, who was 25th overall in her age division with a 4:28:27 run; Gayle Robinson, 66, who was 30th in the same division with a time of 4:32:18; and Ian Herron, 67, who finished in 4:56:04. The overall marathon title was won by American Olympic distance runner Meb Keflezighi, who finished in 2:08:37, in so doing becoming the first U.S. winner of the marathon since 1983. More than 36,000 runners took part in the race this year, up from about 25,000 in 2013.

The field was boosted for this year’s event due to high demand, as runners – and spectators, too – showed an increased interest in the event after last year’s tragic bombings that killed three and injured hundreds. At the time of the bombings, thousands of runners – including some from Surrey and White Rock –had yet to cross the finish line. Baker, for instance, was about 200 metres from the finish line when the first explosion happened. – Nick Greenizan

Welcome to the driver’s seat

Having a chance to drive the base car all the way up to the Golf R showed just how good the base car is. Zack Spencer Visit the photo gallery at DrivewayCanada.ca

Question of the week:

New Golf family offers quality at the right price The new seventh generation VW the Golf and GTI and will come in at roughly the same price as the Golf arrives later this spring with last R, right around $40,000 but a 2015 model designation. fully loaded. I have already had a chance to drive three examples of the new Inside edition in Europe so I can offer The upside to having a slightly you a sneak peek at what this bigger platform is interior space very popular VW has going for it and the cabin of the latest Golf This new Golf before it arrives here. does feel bigger, especially sideThe all-new car might look like to-side. The centre console is family is set to the previous Golf but it is built on wider and the dash is fitted with take on some very a platform that is shared across all-new switches and dials. Once established players the VW group and represents again, the feel and look is almost in the compact a massive investment for the Audi quality. Having a chance to German manufacturer. drive the base car all the way up segment. This new platform, called MQB, to the Golf R showed just how Zack Spencer enables the engineers to build all good the base car is. The only kinds of new products, be they difference is the sportier seats bigger, smaller, wider or taller. What went into and splashier trim on the more expensive cars, the design of the Golf represents a big step but the overall design is the same from car to forward for Volkswagen as the latest model is car and all exemplify the simple, yet elegant 100kg lighter than the outgoing car but it is approach VW takes with all its interiors. bigger, stiffer and safer than before. Drive Looks Gone is the old 2.5-litre. 5-cylinder, replaced It could be argued that the new Golf looks too by an all-new 1.8-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder much like the older model but interacting with base engine. This engine too produces 170 but this new product quickly displays a level of is more efficient, responsive and features state refinement and finish that might be found in an of the art technology. In the compact set, this upmarket Audi product. (This MQB platform is kind of technology is unheard of at the roughly shared with the all-new Audi A3). $19,000 asking price. Taking it up a notch is Starting at $18,995, the base Golf is priced the legendary Golf GTI, now with 210hp from right in the heart of the compact market but a new 2.0-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder. I had this car sports a fully independent suspension, a shot driving this last year in Austria and I direct injection turbocharged engine and more can say without question, this combination is power than much of the competition, at 170hp. fantastic. The Golf R is the ultimate Golf with The Golf GTI is my personal favourite due to roughly 300hp and an all wheel drive system. the bad-boy looks, bigger wheels and improved The same system is used in the all-new Audi engine and suspension. It starts at $27,995. The S3 but this car comes fully loaded and will be hot-hatch Golf R will arrive about a year after roughly $4,000 less than the starting price of

the S3. A smart shopper might want to wait for the R over the S. Verdict This new Golf family is set to take on some very established players in the compact segment. With a hatchback design, this car has always been a more practical design than sedans like the Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla. With superb road manners, advanced engines and German engineering, the starting price looks like a winner. A big reason for this is the Golf is assembled in Mexico and these cars come into Canada without duty, (Thanks NAFTA) so VW added more content and kept the price low. The good news for diesel lovers is that the TDI engine will be available right out of the gate and now represents about 50 percent of Golf sales. This engine too has been modified to make it as fuel efficient as possible. All told, the Golf is more polished car than much of the competition and offers a trim level and price for all types of buyers, from basic to flat-out performance. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca The Lowdown Power: 1.8L turbo with 170hp, 2.0L turbo with 210hp, 2.0L turbo with 300hp and 2.0L diesel.

Staying safe on two wheels

The government in British Columbia only enforces one piece of safety equipment when riding on the road. That’s a helmet. If you’re not going to invest any money in anything else, protect your noggin’. I’m not suggesting buying the most expensive and fanciest lid out there because most of us don’t have thousands of dollars for a carbon-fibre helmet. In fact, I’ll add this too. Make sure it fits properly. Local motorcycle shops generally have trained staff

MY NISSAN

Like education, the motorcycle gear you wear, whether on the road or trails, is vital to your safety. Don’t believe me? Just ask someone who, unfortunately, has had a spill. Here’s an example. A colleague of mine caught gravel around a bend while riding in the States. She hit the guardrail then passed out. She was then airlifted to hospital where she suffered a minor concussion, and a few bruises and scrapes. Even the doctors were amazed how good of shape she was in. It was said to her that her gear likely saved her life. She was wearing leathers, gloves, protective boots and a helmet. Granted, not everyone is as lucky, but you get my point. Furthermore, for those who have experienced an accident, and have been in proper attire, I’m pretty sure you weren’t thinking, “Gee, I really wish I wore my shorts and flip flops!” When I ride, I’m in full garb. Depending on what type of riding I’m taking on that day, I’ll dress appropriately. I’m an advocate of riding gear. All of it.

Protect yourself on road in fitting helmets. They’re supposed to fit snugly. I’ve been told that even the cheapest helmet that fits perfectly will do more for you than an expensive one that’s just not right for you. You only have one head. Use it. And protect it.

Jackets There are a couple of common materials used in jackets: leather and textile. There are more, but the two listed are quite prominent. Each have their own benefits. Textile jackets tend to be more breathable, while leather has been said to be better protection. You can argue each case. Some jackets come with armor (added protection in the back, elbows, and shoulders). Some don’t. I suggest armour only because it protects you that much more. However, there are accessories you can purchase if the jacket you choose doesn’t come with it built in.

Boots Not everyone will want heavily reinforced boots. That’s fine. But if you’re going to ride, get leather footwear that at least covers your anklebone. Speaking of which, have you ever hit your anklebone on a table leg? Hurts, doesn’t it? Now imagine a 220-kilo machine falling on it. Think safety. What’s great about the industry now, is the availability of cool riding shoes that have reinforced heels and ankle protection. You can look good and be protected. Bonus.

Gloves There are a few styles of gloves. There are ones that cover just your hands/ fingers and ones called gauntlet gloves that cover past your wrists. Some gloves also have reinforced points with carbon fibre to prevent further damage. Like with a helmet, and the rest of your gear, get gloves that fit you, like, a glove! Too much room can cause blisters. Too little room cuts off circulation.

Pants

Off-road

Leather, textile and Kevlar jeans are common riding pants. Kevlar jeans are getting better and better as more research and development is conducted. I say, if you’re going for the “cool” look, spend a little more for the added protection.

If you’re an adventuretouring rider – or would like to be – textile is the way to go. This material is much better for the changing weather you’ll encounter on the road less travelled. It’s breathable and generally has a few layers. So you can take off or put them on

Truck-tent camping is industry’s latest trend Camping is fun and most of us have done it at one time or another. Of course, it can be miserable without a decent tent that is easy to set up and keeps you dry and comfortable. One of the hottest products on the market today is called “truck tent.” Napier Enterprises developed it and it makes sense for those people who like to go camping, but do not like to sleep on the ground. The truck tent is exactly as it sounds – a tent for your truck. This tent sits in the open bed of your truck with the tent poles (which are like regular tent poles that collapse with a quick pull) designed to fit in the stake pockets of your box rail. The tent also comes with a fly for the rain and an awning off the back to cover climbing in and out. And they have tents available for just about any truck. The cost is around $289, depending

on the truck. Invest in an air mattress or you will be sporting a set of marks on your back resembling the ribs in the truck’s bed, don’t ask me how I know. SUV owners should especially like the tents that are designed with them in mind. These tents feature a docking collar that fits around the back of your sport-ute so your vehicle is inside your tent. When you need your vehicle, you just remove the collar and zip it up, $379. For hunters there is a camo version featuring the mossy oak break up design. Just be careful sticking your head out the back in the early morning. The newest tent to their product line is the

Backroadz truck tent. This value priced tent line fits most pickups and sleeps two comfortably. Easy setup utilizing shock-corded fiberglass poles and offers five-feet-five inches of head room. It comes with a rain fly and storm flap in the door section to provide privacy and protection. The cost of this model is $199. The SUV/Minivan tent has a universal sleeve that fits snug around any vehicle with a 9’ x 9’ footprint that can sleep 4-6 people and more than 7’ of headroom.

These strap protectors will save the finish on the side of your truck and prevent scratches as the wind moves you and your tent around. There are many combinations available from this company, so look them up at www. napierenterprises.com

The Amazing Brentwood will start previewing its first residential tower on April 26. The 28-acre site will be the largest and most impressive new residential community in North America, and will include transit, shopping and dining right on-site.

Making Brentwood amazing with Shape Living By Kerry Vital

Shape Living is transforming Burnaby’s Willingdon and Lougheed neighborhood into North America’s largest and most impressive new residential community. Formerly known as Brentwood Town Centre, Shape is redefining the area as “The Amazing Brentwood.” The project will include a commercial district with shopping, dining and entertainment, capped with some seriously impressive homes. Ten residential towers up to 70 storeys tall are planned and will be home to up to 4,200 residences. Two other towers will be set aside for offices. The existing Brentwood Town Centre mall is getting a complete facelift and will re-open before residents move in. “The sheer size of the 28-acre Brentwood development makes it noteworthy, but what we are really passionate about is how Brentwood takes the art of great place making and the convenience of mixed-use transitoriented development to a whole new level,”

says Darren Kwiatkowski, Executive Vice President of Development for Shape Living. “Brentwood will deliver a truly unique offering in the marketplace.” Transit is a major part of the new Amazing Brentwood community, with SkyTrain arriving directly in the heart of the development at the public plaza, a one-acre space that will be full of shops and restaurants, with over 350 shops and services available once the project is complete. Two of the residential towers will surround the plaza, making shopping, dining and recreation just an elevator ride away. Homeowners at The Amazing Brentwood will also have access to a fully equipped fitness facility, music room and plenty of outdoor space to relax or visit with neighbours and friends, among other amenities. The first tower is called Brentwood ONE, and will include 291 condominium homes. Luxury homes will start on the 33rd floor and rise to the 63rd floor. Below that will be boutique rental properties. The one-bedroom-and-flex condominiums will be available in a range of floorplans between 539 and 560 square feet, while the two-bedrooms will range between 728 and 903 square feet. “They have paid incredible attention to detail at The Amazing Brentwood,” says Tracie McTavish, president at Rennie Marketing Systems. “They’ve thought things

through, and everything is high quality.” Among the gorgeous features at Brentwood ONE will be amazing views from every home and gourmet Italian-imported kitchens with tons of storage, a gas cooktop and a convenient kitchen island. “These kitchens are 40 per cent larger than the usual kitchens,” says McTavish. Nine-foot ceilings are standard throughout, and every home includes a spacious balcony perfect for entertaining. “Shape Living really looked at the livability of these homes,” says McTavish. “They call it ‘intelligent living.’” Shape is providing some thoughtful details in every home as well, including a side-byside washer and dryer, USB and four-plug outlets and at least one parking stall and storage space. The sales centre will open for previews on April 26. “This is something you have to come in and experience,” says McTavish. “It’s that impressive. They’re really catering to consumer demand. If you are planning to buy a condo anywhere, you need to come here first.” Homes at Brentwood ONE start at $299,900 for a one-bedroom and $382,900 for a two-bedroom home. For more information, visit www.theamazingbrentwood.com or stop by the presentation centre and three show homes at 4567 Lougheed Highway, Burnaby.

Q. What homework should I do before I get a loan to buy a home?

A. Here are 3 big tips many people don’t consider when buying a home:

• Understand how much home you can afford. Calculate the two numbers bankers and mortgage lenders use to determine the how much they will loan to you: payment-to-income ratio and debt-to-income ratio. • Understand the basics of home ﬁnancing. Your ability to afford a home will be related to its price, your down payment (and the amount you’ll ﬁnance), the interest rate and points of your loan, the term and the type of your loan. Study these items and the relationship between them. • Save thousands by making your own mortgage acceleration payment schedule. Take your current monthly mortgage payment of principal and interest and multiply that number by 13. Divide that total by 12 to get your new “accelerated” monthly payment. Contact me for a list of caring, reliable, mortgage brokers.
