Monitoring convicts after prison viewed as integral to ensuring safety

Community rallies in Newton on Sunday.
B.C. Attorney General Suzanne Anton says she is in discussions with federal Justice Minister Peter McKay on potential ways to tighten monitoring of released high-risk criminals in the wake of the murder of Surrey teen Serena Vermeersch. Expanded use of electronic monitoring “is something that probably should be considered,� Anton told reporters last week after the arrest of convicted rapist
Raymond Lee Caissie on Sept. 20, four days after Vermeersch’s body was found. Now charged with second-degree murder, 43-yearold Caissie was released from prison last year after serving a 22-year sentence for a violent sexual assault and robbery in 1991. The parole board repeatedly refused to grant early release, citing a high risk to reoffend and seriously harm or kill someone. “He was identified publicly as being a violent sexual offender,� Anton said, noting Caissie has been
under police surveillance since his release. “Everybody who was involved took this case and this person very seriously. Whether or not there are more things that could be put in place – that’s a question I’ve raised with the federal minister.� Asked if the province adequately funds its Integrated Sexual Predator Observation Team, Anton responded: “They are resourced. They don’t watch the person 100 per cent of the time. i see page 2

Vacant seats expected to attract more candidates, hoped to attract more voters
Surrey braces for an historic election Kevin Diakiw Black Press
As nominations open today for this fall’s municipal elections around B.C., Surrey is headed for an historic election, the likes of which the city has never seen. It will be only the fifth time since 1880 that contestants won’t have to upset an incumbent for the mayor’s chair, as Mayor Dianne Watts steps down from the centre chair to seek the federal Conservative nomination for the newly realigned South Surrey-White Rock riding. In addition, never before in 134 years of civic government has Surrey had three vacant councillor chairs to fill, according to documents obtained by Black Press. Couns. Barinder Rasode and Linda Hepner are running for mayor, and former councillor Marvin Hunt’s seat has been empty all year as he ran successfully with the BC Liberals this spring and was elected MLA for Surrey-Panorama. It likely means there will be even more independents running, and the fight for the mayor’s chair is expected to be a hard-fought battle. Surrey’s elections registrar, Jane Sullivan, hopes the unique aspects
of this civic election will result in a much higher voter turnout. Low numbers usually indicate a high level of voter satisfaction with the status quo. Last year, 25 per cent of eligible voters went to the polls. Surrey’s highest voter turnout since 1973 occurred in 1977, when controversial mayor Ed McKitka was ousted by Bill Vogel. That year, voter turnout was 44.21 per cent. In 1980, Don Ross upset Vogel when 41.34 per cent cast ballots.
In 1990, an impressive 37.95 per cent of the eligible electorate voted after an electoral brawl of a campaign, when Ross launched an impressive – albeit unsuccessful – bid to take out sitting mayor Bob Bose. In addition to that, there was a referendum that year asking residents about building height plans for Semiahmoo Town Centre, which likely added to voter interest. More recently, 35 per cent of eligible voters hit the booth when
Dianne Watts ousted sitting mayor Doug McCallum in 2005. Despite those figures, since 1973, Surrey has averaged a paltry 28.87 per cent voter turnout. In 1984, that dipped to 16.3 per cent. It came on the heels of the byelection of Jerry Huot, who took Rita Johnston’s spot when she resigned to run provincially and eventually be named, for a short time, premier. For comparison, voter turnout at provincial elections at that time
Two more show interest in mayor’s chair Edwards
Higginbotham
The pre-season mayoralty race is heating up in Surrey, as the number of people confirming or considering a run at the seat climbs to six. Last week – just days before today’s opening of nominations – former health-care professional John Edwards announced his run, and former Surrey councillor Judy Higginbotham said she is seriously considering a campaign. They join the ranks of former Surrey mayor Doug McCallum, Coun. Linda Hepner, Coun. Barinder Rasode and businessman Vikram Bajwa in showing interest in the city’s top job. Higginbotham, a South Surrey resident who served 25 years as a councillor, told Black Press Thursday she is giving serious thought to
joining the race. She cited a number of “quality-of-life” issues – including public safety, transit and giving the community a voice. She also said there needs to be much more planning around youth and their needs, such as increased opportunities for recreation. Edwards said the number-one issue facing the city is crime. The longtime Newton resident said steps that could help include reducing the number of police officers on leave, and establishing a community court to deal more quickly with the root cause of many crimes. He also wants to see a trade and convention centre built in the city, preferably in Cloverdale. – Kevin Diakiw
averaged 60.56; federally it was 67.8 per cent. Part of the reason, Sullivan said, is that people continually underestimate the impact local government has on their lives. “This is grassroots,” she said. “This is where you feel the direct impact of government.” If the province or nation shuts down, the impact might not be seen by the public for some time. But if the city shuts down for even a day, the impact is immediate. Playing fields don’t get cut, garbage piles up, snowy roads don’t get plowed and building applications don’t get approved. Sullivan’s job is to make sure the city hosts a good, clean election. However, her pet project is to get as many voters out as possible. “We need to engage citizens,” Sullivan said. “And let them know they can make a difference.” One other historic note of this election is that the people chosen for public office will be doing the job for four years – longer than any in the city’s history. Deadline for candidates to register is Friday, Oct. 10. Voters go to the polls Nov. 15.
Aquarium offers care
No invasion of privacy: city
Month of seal rescues
Surveillance on agenda
A beached seal pup received a helping hand from White Rock Mounties last week. Police were advised at about 8:30 a.m. Thursday of a seal pup found near the white rock. Officers responding noted the pup appeared to be in distress. They placed it in a large cooler and brought it to the Pacific Avenue detachment, where care of the seal was transferred to marine mammal-rescue staff from the Vancouver Aquarium. According to aquarium officials, the pup – which has been dubbed Neodymium and is being treated for infected wounds – was the third seal to come from the area this month. A male harbour seal was admitted as a patient on Sept. 13. Given the moniker of Caesium – the naming theme at the aquarium this year is the periodic table of elements – the seal arrived from White Rock and had multiple wounds and remains in care. A harbour seal was also rescued from Crescent Beach this month. The lethargic, underweight female was admitted on Sept. 18 also suffering from upper respiratory issues. Named Mendelevium, she, too, remains in care. – Tracy Holmes

The City of White Rock is developing a policy to govern its use of video-surveillance equipment on civic properties and facilities. Council members meeting as the governance and legislation committee were to discuss a draft of Policy IT 800 Monday evening (after Peace Arch News’ press time). The move, officials say, does not mean closed-circuit television cameras are in the works for the city’s promenade – a proposal that sparked criticism over privacy rights. “It’s nothing to do with CCTV cameras on the waterfront or on the pier or anything like that,” said Coun. Helen Fathers, after clarifying details of the proposed policy with the city manager. “It’s just to make sure that what we are doing, we have policy to back it up.” (Fathers was the only councillor to speak against consideration of CCTV cameras for the waterfront, when the issue came to council in June 2012. It has not been pursued since a staff report concluded use of the cameras for the waterfront was not justified.) According to the draft, Policy IT 800 establishes guidelines for the use of video surveillance/recording equipment “to enhance the security of properties, objects and activities and the personal safety of persons that are in, on or near facilities owned or occupied by the City of White Rock.” The recordings would also assist with the investigation of unlawful activity, but “will not be located in areas that would constitute an invasion of privacy,” the draft states. It mandates that signage advising of the equipment be posted; as well, that authorized personnel only access the equipment or retrieve images “as reasonably necessary.” Currently, the city has surveillance cameras at its Keil Street works yard, in the lobby of White Rock Community Centre and in city hall where council members collect mail.

Dating abuse not uncommon Turning 60 can be a little hairy, just try to Escape keep it FUN! The Surrey Women’s Centre (604-583-1295) deals with high volumes of women who are exposed to dating violence. More than half of the 4,000 callers to SWC each year fall within that category, says special programs manager Corrine Arthur. Dating violence presents its own unique challenges, but often has many of the same hallmarks as

abusive long-term relationships. “At the end of the day, it still comes down to power, control, and lots of beliefs about himself and about women – that they’re not to be trusted and need a heavy hand and usually violence to keep them in line,” Arthur says. There are many things that keep women in these types of relationships, Arthur says. It can
be as simple as feelings of love, and it can be as complicated as children and their safety. “One of the biggest things women need to know when they contact Surrey Women’s Centre is to keep it to themselves,” Arthur says. “Don’t be telling his sister, or your mother-in-law. That gets back to him, and that’s when things can escalate.”
How to get help:
i from page 1 That day she saw a cab pull up to drop someone off outside the gate. She opened the door, the alarm screamed, and she ran, feeling the adrenaline. The cab took her straight to the police. Recknagel was soon arrested and was sent to jail to finish his previous sentence. He also faced new charges, including unlawful confinement or imprisonment, uttering threats and six counts of assault involving Brown and another woman. He made a plea bargain and pleaded guilty to uttering threats and two counts of assault. He was sentenced to 7½ months in jail. He had an opportunity for early release on Sept. 9 of this year, but opted not to apply. ••• Brown is sharing her story with Black Press in hopes it won’t

happen to any other women. When she looks back, it’s hard not to tally the loss. “I’ve lost my job, I’ve lost my livelihood,” she says. “Now I live having to look over my shoulder all the time… I still have anxiety when I see the types of vehicles he used to drive.” Worse, she’s lost some selfrespect. She still struggles with guilt she didn’t act more quickly to get out of the relationship. But things happened so fast. “I’m embarrassed that I went through this, because I saw the signs. I tried to get out but, obviously, I didn’t.” Brown’s therapist, Pauline Carey, said her experience is similar to battered-woman’s syndrome but at an accelerated pace. The cycle of violence didn’t

include the hallmark “remorse” phase, in which the abuser promises to reform his ways. Nonetheless, Brown felt trapped. “It’s as much a psychological limit as a physical limit,” Carey said. “The fear is so great, you get the deer-in-the-headlights reaction. So it’s not possible to walk away.” It’s much the same, she says, as a child’s inability to walk away from a bad parent. The fact that Brown didn’t run away from Recknagel was actually “a very well-honed sense of self-preservation.” Court documents indicate Recknagel is considered a moderate risk for “assaultive behaviour towards an intimate partner.” When he takes steroids, that risk climbs to high. His jail term ends Feb. 9.

Unleash the hounds
P
remier Christy Clark says she doesn’t want to “point a finger” at municipal governments – but at the same time she doesn’t seem too upset about the leaking of a document that paints civic leaders as spendthrifts with pay alongside their provincial counterparts. In her speech closing the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention on Friday, Clark admitted she’d like to see the study on high municipal wage settlements prepared for the province by Ernst & Young – which somehow found its way into the hands of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation two weeks ago – become an issue in this November’s municipal elections. The study – which was attacked by provincial NDP Leader John Horgan as “shoddy” and missing facts – seems calculated to embarrass civic officials, just as Clark’s address to them seems tantamount to a declaration of war. It’s evident that Clark wants municipal politicians to take their turn in the crosshairs, just as she welcomed characterizations of the recent teachers’ strike as merely a battle between greedy teachers and a government fighting hard to promote fiscal responsibility. Presumably, Clark and her advisors reason that taxpayers’ ire focused on teachers and civic leaders is ire not focused on the provincial government for ways in which it has managed – or mismanaged – public monies. We must give full credit to Clark for increasing governmental transparency; the desire of her government to deflect criticism onto others is becoming clear. This new desire to wage war against municipalities on behalf of the downtrodden taxpayer, of course, could have nothing to do with the rough ride some provincially favoured initiatives – the expansion of the Trans-Mountain Pipeline and a referendum on transit funding, for example – have had on the local level. If Clark truly wishes to ‘let slip the dogs of war’ we, as taxpayers, say so be it. However, let us not confine ourselves to municipal guardians of the public purse. The focus deserves to be fixed on spending by all levels of government – and Crown corporations while we’re at it. And not just bureaucrats; anyone on the public payroll. Yes, including elected officials – from school trustee to prime minister, and all political positions in between, many of whom seemed to have slipped beyond the “net-zero” contracts foisted on provincial union workers. Taxpayers’ ire deserves to be unleashed wherever it is found that public monies have been managed less than responsibly – as well as where they have been out-and-out squandered.

“The purpose of the auditor was not to become an enforcement mechanism,” de Jong said. “It was to play a traditional audit function on whether taxpayers are getting value for money. To that extent I suppose a municipal auditor might be able to comment on the advantages of co-ordinating efforts.” NDP leader John Horgan’s attack on the compensation report was as predictable as it was selective. In his speech to delegates, Horgan called it “one-sided, politically motivated, shoddy work” designed to embarrass local politicians on the eve of their elections. Did he question Ernst and Young’s numbers, the pay increases for municipal union staff of 38 per cent between 2001 and 2012, compared to 19 per cent for unionized provincial staff? Did he question their calculation that over that period, inflation totalled 23 per cent? No. The facts being against him, he went with an emotional pitch to distract from them. Recall that during the final days of the teachers’ strike, Horgan suddenly decided that what was really needed was binding arbitration. This was 24 hours after the teachers’ union took that position. So there’s the big question to be considered by voters as local elections draw near. Which candidates are looking out for your interests, and which ones are working on behalf of CUPE? There’s another troubling trend in manipulation of local government that was more evident than ever at the 2014 UBCM convention. I’ll discuss that in a future column.

Rail-moving arguments Editor: Re: Trains can be gone in 5 years: Baldwin; Hepner pledges to relocate trains, Sept. 18. The inevitable relocation of the Boundary Bay rail will have little to do with the relative worth of blueberry fields or the ocean foreshore. It will be driven by simple math. The new route will be five kilometres shorter and 30 minutes faster. The shorter, wider, faster route is not only safer, it gives a direct return on investment. It will support Port Metro Vancouver growth, and the expansion of Canada-U.S. trade. It will complement the port’s investment in Roberts Bank, and secure Canada’s economic relevance, for the next 100 years. The main artery for moving goods between Canada and the U.S. is a single track, winding along a bay, under an unstable bluff, with no possible emergency access from land or sea. It crosses three rivers, two bird sanctuaries and a 100-year-old swing bridge. It bisects two level crossings, a boat launch, and serves as a hiking path for thousands of beach visitors. In 12 years, freight along the bay has grown four times, and PMV projects further increases. The once sleepy old corridor has isolated the foreshore communities, as it runs out of capacity. The reason it has not moved sooner is because the math didn’t need it to. Ironically, the problem has brought the solution. The only remaining question is when. Once answered, it will unlock a 12-mile national treasure for the benefit of the nearly one million people living south of the Fraser. It will forever change the evolution of the area, by allowing the flow of people and ideas between Vancouver and the emerging bay communities. Efficient trade and visionary urban planning will accelerate capital investment into the country’s fastest growing region. It will improve the backyard for every Canadian. Erik Seiz, Crescent Beach Property Owners Association Q Your article on Linda Hepner quoted fellow mayoral candidate Barinder Rasode as stating that while she agrees rail safety is a priority for cities across Canada, moving the tracks is not a decision “that can be made as an election promise… not one that we will have much direct impact on.” Rasode deserves credit for not pandering to the electorate by promising us things we cannot afford. Any politician who promises to move the tracks must explain why the safety of residents of one South Surrey neighbourhood is $500 million more important than the safety of residents of other South Surrey neighbourhoods. Meanwhile, can we do something to ensure the safety of Crescent Beach, Ocean Park and White Rock residents? There’s already a speed limit along White Rock beach. Surrey should negotiate a 30
km/h speed limit with BNSF from the U.S. border all the way to the Nicomekl River bridge, because a derailment at that low speed is very unlikely to turn into a catastrophe. What can be done when stopped trains block the road to Crescent Beach? A pedestrian overpass or tunnel should be constructed immediately at the Beecher Street crossing to give emergency crews foot access to the area, and basic firefighting and first-aid equipment, including ambulance stretchers, should be cached in a convenient place near the beach. Finally, a safe helicopter landing area should be designated in the Blackie Spit parking lot, should it be necessary to transport an urgent medical case. As for the $499 million this would save all levels of government, just send it to me because I’m sure I can find better ways to spend it! Gary Cameron, Surrey
Q If or when they ever move the rail line, wouldn’t it be nice to have a walkway and bicycle path from White Rock to Crescent Beach in its place? Lena Hunter, Surrey Q Get rid of coal trains because of imaginary coal dust. Coal that was sprayed with a sealant at the mine and had travelled at speeds of 60 mph for over a thousand miles and slowed to 15 mph through White Rock. Get rid of trains because someone decided to commit suicide by train rather than jumping off the pier. Coal trains are out. Motor vehicles are in by the thousands, spewing out carbon monoxide from idling motors. This, according to the town council, who, when God screwed on their heads, she must have screwed them on cross-threaded. Howard Rogers, Surrey
Safer travel for the disabled Editor: There are a large number of disabled drivers in this area, as evidenced by the disabled parking permits hanging from their rearview mirrors. The Social Planning & Research Council of B.C., the issuing body, clearly states that it is against the law to drive with the permit hanging, as it obstructs the view of the driver. “Parking permits must only be displayed when the vehicle is parked,” SPARCBC says. I can only conclude that these drivers have not read the correct uses of the permit, or are flouting the law. Shirley Cox, Surrey

Heirloom goes missing
Musical memories rekindled Staff Reporter
A pair of Surrey seniors with copious memories from their days in the countrymusic scene are crossing their fingers someone has found a ring that has great sentimental value to them. Bert De Fehr has worn the custom-made horseshoe-shaped ring on his right pinky finger for more than three decades – after getting the OK from Canadian country-music legend Hank Snow, who wore a similar piece. “We travelled with Hank Snow and he had one of those rings,” said Audrey De Fehr. The 14-karat gold ring – with diamonds in the setting – slipped off Bert’s finger sometime on Aug. 30. Bert had grown so comfortable wearing it, he didn’t notice it was gone until after the pair had visited three stores: Walmart in South Surrey, the Shoppers Drug Mart near 152 Street and Fraser Highway and the No Frills grocery store. Despite appeals in newspaper classified ads
in the weeks since, the ring is still missing. The De Fehrs – who had a booking agency during the ’60s and early-’70s – remember travelling with Snow in Penticton. Audrey describes him as a private person who one-upped everyone in manners. “You’d say thank you, he would up it,” Audrey recalled. “He was never short on thank yous.” Other celebrities the De Fehrs remember fondly include Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash, Ray Price, Elmer Tippe, George Hamilton, Kitty Wells and Charlie Pride. “We have many memories – things that we can say, and things that we can’t,” Bert said. Bert also has fond memories of his own band, Westwinds – he played under the stage name Bert Wade – which he said opened for many of the shows the couple booked. The treasured ring was to be passed along as a family heirloom. The De Fehrs remain hopeful that the ring will be returned. Reach them at tide@telus.net

Coal-export scrutiny urged by municipal leaders Jeff Nagel Black Press
A planned new coal-export terminal in Surrey has prompted a call for closer scrutiny of the project from B.C. municipal leaders. Union of B.C. Municipalities delegates voted Thursday to urge a full environmental and health impact assessment of the planned Fraser Surrey Docks project, and that a federal or provincial agency be named to monitor the barge shipments of coal through the Fraser River delta to Texada Island. Port Metro Vancouver approved the project in August and Fraser Surrey Docks intends to soon begin construction on the Surrey terminal, which would receive four million tonnes of U.S. thermal coal by rail through White Rock and reload it to barges. The project has been under fire for months from local groups concerned about the escape of coal dust as well as climate-change activists
who want to keep U.S. coal from being burned in Asia. Donna Shugar, a Sunshine Coast Regional District director, said there’s no provision so far for environmental monitoring of the barge shipments to Texada, where the coal would be stockpiled and transferred to ocean-going ships. The resolution was amended to target only exports of thermal coal and not the metallurgical coal that is mined in B.C., after concern from Kootenay politicians that it could threaten local coal-mining jobs. “This is a big portion of our provincial economy that actually works right now,” Fernie Coun. Phil Iddon cautioned. New Westminster Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said thermal coal, besides being a worse source of carbon emissions, is more volatile. “It literally ignites by itself,” he told the convention. Puchmayr raised the spectre of an out-of-control coal fire that might
“burn for months” in the middle of Metro Vancouver if the terminal is allowed to stockpile coal – some-

Whale House honours their ‘guardian angel’ at picnic for mental-health community
‘Tiny but mighty’ advocate remembered Sarah Massah

Staff Reporter
booming voice encompassed in a tiny frame. Nearly five years after her passing, Helen Connolly’s words – often passionately spoken – still resonate with the dozens she helped during her decades of service as an advocate for the mentally ill on the Semiahmoo Peninsula and across B.C. The White Rock woman, who passed on Dec. 15, 2008 at 74 years old, will be honoured this year at the Oct. 8 picnic hosted by Whale House, a White Rock-based psycho-social clubhouse for people living with mental illness. The vocal advocate originally organized the Peace Arch ❝She wasn’t afraid to Park picnic years stand up and say ‘no, ago in order to create an event that’s not fair.’.❞ where members of LeeAnne Gardiner the mental-health friend community could connect. “When Helen came to Whale House, what she wanted was for the members to have a fun-filled day, to enjoy music, dancing and a good meal,” said friend and Whale House staffer LeeAnne Gardiner. “Everything is free.” Since Helen’s passing, the picnic is now funded by Options Community Services in her memory. Whale House member Anne Ghenon first met Connolly at Riverview Hospital, where the advocate served on the Riverview Downsizing Committee – and later as chair of the board. Ghenon noted that Connolly’s efforts to connect the community became that much more crucial once Riverview was shut down in July 2012. “It’s quite unique for us that were in Riverview or boarding homes. It’s like a reunion. When Riverview closed, we were all scattered in various communities, and this brings us all back together,” she said. “We wait for this picnic all year.” Ghenon was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 1991. She received unwavering support from Connolly, who had been an advocate for those who have been diagnosed with mental illness – including her own son – since the 1970s. “When I moved out of the boarding home and into my own apartment, Helen was there with a few boxes for my pantry,” Anne recalled. “She was a very practical, vocal woman. For example, people were being

So she got that to end. She was thinking like a true mother.” More than 300 people are anticipated to attend this year’s picnic, and there will be few there who have not been touched by Connolly, Gardiner said. “I always say a speech about who she was and what she did, but they all know,” Gardiner said. “When I started, I didn’t know Helen. I had heard of her. She was
called the guardian angel of Whale House. “I remember being at a big meeting for mental health, and they were talking about something that wasn’t in favour of the members. She was a tiny little thing. And all of a sudden, this tiny lady stands up and her voice just booms, disagreeing. “She had a strong voice. Her concerns for the people with mental illness was so sincere. She wasn’t afraid to stand up and say ‘no, that’s not fair.’” Connolly’s impact was such that at
Riverview, Connolly Lodge was named after her, in honour of her dedication to helping others. Her husband, Joe, noted that it wasn’t just mental health she was passionate about. Connolly was a staunch supporter of the underdog. “It was amazing what the woman could do,” he told Peace Arch News Thursday. “She’s always been sympathetic towards other people. She would advocate for senior citizens. A lot of people depended on her visits.” Joe recalled one instance where a man whom Helen visited had been depressed, homeless and had no support system in place. While many others would have shied away, Connolly comforted the man, running her fingers through his hair. “There are not that many people who would do something like that,” Joe said. Connolly also chaired the South SurreyWhite Rock Mental Health Advisory Coalition and the Riverview Family Advocacy Group and was a supporter of the BC Schizophrenia Society. In addition, she represented South Surrey-White Rock on the South Fraser’s mental-health advisory group and served as president of the Surrey-White Rock Schizophrenia Society. Connolly’s legacy of helping those in need continues through the Helen Connolly Fund, which was set up with a generous donation from the Connolly’s that was matched by Options Community Services, a non-profit charity providing social services primarily in Surrey, Delta, White Rock and Langley The fund provides grants to consumers of mental-health services or a family member or friend who is supporting someone living with mental illness. Her legacy is also kept alive at Whale House, where members still feel the ripple effects of Connolly’s work. The Whale House provides workshops for people living with mental illness, as well as leisure activities, including dances and baseball. With support from the Peace Arch Foundation, the group has purchased a truck, trailer and equipment for landscaping as well. And, in the early days of the Whale House, which was founded in the late ‘80s , there was Connolly, who provided support in any way she could – including bringing turkey and other meals for members, Gardiner laughed. “She was tiny, but mighty.”

School event teaches perils of distracted driving
Students learn road lessons Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Bridgit Burns hasn’t got her licence yet, but the 13-year-old already has a sense of how distracting it is to text while driving. Behind the wheel of a driving simulator set up outside White Rock Christian Academy earlier this month, the teen navigated through intersections, right and left turns and other routine tasks of driving, under the watchful eyes of her peers and ICBC road safety co-ordinator Kate Woochuk. “When I had to text and drive, it got hard,” the Grade 8 student said after finishing her turn on the route. And while no damage came of Burns’ mistakes behind the wheel, she knows that in real-life, the practice of using a phone while driving can have devastating consequences. “It could seriously hurt someone,” she said. “You could hit a pedestrian crossing the road.” The statistics are eyeopening. ICBC road safety co-ordinator Karen Klein said distracted driving is now the

That fact was also driven home to motorists travelling along 152 Street that day, as officers with the Fraser Valley Integrated Road Safety Unit – along with volunteers from Surrey Crime Prevention Society’s Cell Watch program – conducted an enforcement blitz, stationing themselves at the intersections of 20 and 24 avenues King George Boulevard, and in the 2200-block of 152 Street. In 90 minutes, they wrote 51 tickets – 35 for cellphone use. Klein said while it will be years before many of the students who were put to the test Sept. 16 get behind the wheel, it’s never too early to drive home the message. “It’s great to plant the seed early,” she said.

Concord Retirement Residence
A
s we age, change is inevitable and can often cause fear because we worry about losing the familiar and dealing with the unknown. But what if that very change made you feel safe and secure, improved your lifestyle and allowed you to maintain your independence in a nurturing and supportive environment? Nestled in the charming seaside community of White Rock, Concord Retirement Residence offers this kind of positive change, while providing every resident customized service. “Our focus is to help residents wherever there is a need, and those needs can be as different as our residents,” says Holly Mackintosh, Concord’s General Manager. “Some of our residents like to sleep in and prefer a late tray for breakfast so they can enjoy a leisurely morning. One of our residents requested a wake-up call at 6 a.m. for an early appointment, so I’ll call him from home as I’m getting ready for work. Or we might have a resident that would like tea service in their suite if they are entertaining friends.” At Concord – comprised of a 36unit main building and seven seaside cottages just blocks from White Rock
Beach – the staff is dedicated to finding solutions to every problem, big or small, offering residents a range of options in all aspects of their lives. Residents who have pets, for instance, can count on staff to care for them should they unexpectedly need to stay in the hospital. There is no need to worry if you aren’t feeling well and need to go shopping for a few necessities – someone can pick them up for you. Residents with special diet requirements, like gluten-free and dairy-free, can rest assured that the on-site chef will prepare special meals with their allergies in mind. At this month’s birthday tea, residents enjoyed a delicious gluten-free carrot cake. “It may seem like these are little things, but it makes life so much easier for our residents,” Holly noted. “And they aren’t charged extra every time we help them –that is important.” Locally owned and managed, Concord staff approach the day-today operations just as if it was their own home, rather than a business,and the residents are treated as if they are family, not customers. As a result, making changes or implementing new ideas is simplified. Requests from residents and their families are
welcome and there is no red-tape or head office to work through. There is plenty for residents to take part in on-site, with a full activity schedule including bingo, baking, crafts, cards and games, exercise classes, movie nights, discussion groups and – a favourite for when it’s warm outside – ice cream on Sundays overlooking the garden. Staff like to find an activity that each resident enjoys, but also introduce new things to them. There are some very good artists who never thought they could paint! “They always have a say in what they are doing,” says Holly. “If they have an idea, they let us know what they’d like to do.” With 24-hour emergency response, three daily home-cooked meals and snacks with optional in-suite tray service and weekly housekeeping and linen services, residents and their families can relax knowing they don’t have to worry, while still maintaining the independence they’re used to. For a safe and happy environment with all the comforts and familiarity of home – and just the right amount of support you need – visit Concord Retirement Residence at 15869 Pacific File photo Ave., or call 604-531-6198. Concord Retirement Residence provides comfort and care.

Hope for Back Pain: Cold Laser Therapy
Cold Laser Therapy (often also called Low Intensity Laser Therapy or Low Level Laser Therapy) is an innovative treatment for a variety of acute and chronic – often painful – conditions. Laser light transfers energy to interior cells • Stimulates natural healing • Restores normal cellular structure and function • Prevents future injury What you will experience: • Pain goes away • Reduced inflammation/swelling • Restored mobility Why Cold Laser? • Healing, not just masking of pain • Safe, drug free & no side effects • Avoid or delay the need for surgery • Accelerate and strengthen the body’s natural healing mechanisms The Concept Behind Cold Laser Therapy The healing power of light The concept of Cold Laser Therapy is actually quite simple. As humans, light plays a very important role in our existence. Similar to how plant cells require light for photosynthesis, our cells need light to power many of the normal processes that keep us healthy and happy. As long as we are exposed to enough regular sunlight, our skin absorbs the light we need and our cells can use it for many of their normal functions. If our cells are working normally, then our bodies are able to withstand different stresses from day to day activities and heal various ailments. Light therapy is not a new concept. It has been and continues to be used by doctors to treat a wide variety of conditions. For example, light has shown to be effective for treating many skin conditions including psoriasis and acne, depression and even tuberculosis before there were medications. Most people who suffer from arthritis can attest to the fact that their pain usually reduces or even completely subsides during the summer months or on a vacation to a sunny destination. Vitamin D, critical for keeping our bones healthy and strong, is created in our bodies by a process that requires sunlight. In places where there isn’t much sunlight available year round, people are usually encouraged to take vitamin D supplements during the darker months to help support their bones and prevent against bone-softening conditions such as rickets (in children) or osteoporosis. When we experience pain or inflammation from a problem or injury in an area of our body, the normal cellular processes slow down and our body has trouble healing as a result. Blood flow to these areas also gets interrupted, which restricts the ability of important nutrients to be delivered to the cells that need to heal. The science Scientific research conducted over the last few decades has shown that human cells heal better and faster when the right wavelengths of light energy get delivered to them. Cold Laser Therapy is a breakthrough solution for musculoskeletal pain because it shines a concentrated amount of only helpful wavelengths of light vital for healing (which are in the red and infrared parts of the spectrum) directly on targeted areas. This allows our bones, ligaments, and tissues deep inside our bodies to be exposed to the healthy light that otherwise cannot reach these areas. By delivering just the helpful parts of the light spectrum, the overall laser light power can be kept at very low and therefore very safe levels, which will not burn or otherwise harm the skin or any other tissues. How Does Cold Laser Therapy Work? Cold Laser Therapy delivers light based energy to cells, helping to accelSKIN (Epidermis) erate the body’s natural healing process at the cellular level. It targets SKIN (Dermis) Red Array injured cells, resulting in elimination and prevention of pain, reduction of FAT inflammation and swelling, and improved range of motion. Laser therapy Infrared Array does not just mask the pain, it actively stimulates healing to resolve musculoskeletal conditions for the long term. MUSCLE The Bioflex Cold Laser Therapy system is a three step process, each using Infrared a different wavelength of light which has been found to optimally stimuLaser late your body’s cells. The first step uses a red light pad at 660 nm, which gets absorbed by the cells of the skin and underlying superficial layers of BONE muscle. The second step uses an infrared light pad at 830 nm, reaching deeper into the muscle layers, as well as the tendons and ligaments. The third step includes an infrared laser wand at 840 nm that is placed specifically on the affected areas by a trained laser therapist. This light is very concentrated and targets the deepest affected structures, stimulating healing inside affected joints and even bone.
Ms. L. tries Cold Laser Therapy for her Back Pain Ms. L had suffered from back pain for months. It had started in her lower back, and slowly progressed to the surrounding area over the course of just a few months. Ms. L had been fairly active her entire life without many issues, and now relatively suddenly was unable to do many of the things she loved. Her biggest issue was, that she couldn’t sit for long periods of time, particularly on any soft surfaces. That had created a really negative impact on her everyday life, as sitting on the couch, in the car, or even visiting with family or friends became difficult or downright impossible. Even a dinner invitation, usually something to look forward to with joy, became something to dread, because having to sit through an entire meal, she knew her back would hurt a lot. Ms. L tried numerous conventional and alternative medical treatments, from pain medication and physiotherapy to massage and acupuncture. However none of these seemed to resolve her problem. She was attending yoga classes on a weekly basis, but was having a lot of difficulty with certain postures and stretches, and was understandably frustrated that her body kept being limited by her pain. However, Ms. L is also a very determined individual who doesn’t easily give up, even when some of the professionals she was seeing implied that there was no solution and she’d have to learn how to live with the pain as an unavoidable part of the physical aging process. So rather than accepting what she was told, she took matters into her own hand, conducting research into various treatments options available to help relieve back pains similar to hers, mainly from arthritis. After having read numerous articles about Cold Laser Therapy, Ms. L decided that this treatment was definitely worth giving a try, also since it was an alternative to painkillers or worse, resorting to surgery and it’s associated waiting times, risks and implications. So she called Solaj Wellness Centre in December of 2013 to book a Cold Laser Therapy assessment and upon being explained how it worked, decided to start her back treatments immediately. To her delight, Ms. L started noticing quite an improvement within the first few treatments. She specifically mentioned a weekend car trip between Langley and Squamish, when she realized, that she had barely any pain on that drive, or when getting in and out of the vehicle. This had become very unusual for her, as typically she had been in a great deal of discomfort during a drive of that duration. And what astounded her more is that she always struggled with getting herself in and out of her car, to the point where she thought that she might have to give up driving all together. Seeing this progress was quite a turning point for Ms. L. After a few more treatments, Ms. L started sleeping better and was consistently able to sit for longer periods of time. She continued to improve over the next several treatment sessions. Bit by bit, she was experiencing noticeable improvements in her daily life. Getting out of bed or standing up from a chair became easier. She could go for walks without much discomfort, and she could even do her housework without issues. After 14 treatment sessions, the pain in Ms. L’s back fully resolved and she was able to successfully conclude the treatments for her back. She was now able to sit through dinners with friends or take long car rides when she wanted or needed to. Her movements in yoga class greatly improved over the course of her treatments, and she continues to experience no back pain several months later.

Serena Bonneville receives Standing Tall Award
Cancer fighter honoured Southridge student Serena Bonneville is the recipient of the Standing Tall Award from Coast Capital Savings. Bonneville was recognized for her dedication to graduating high school, fulfilling her role as Head Girl at Southridge and pursuing a degree in business, despite being diagnosed with leukemia in 2013. The South Surrey teen, who created the blog, Breeding Optimism, detailing her journey
to recovery, has been accepted to the Gustavson School of Business at the University of Victoria. She is among 25 B.C. students to receive the $5,000 award. “Since my diagnosis, I have rejected the opinion that I could no longer do something because of cancer, whether it was academics, sports or anything else,” Bonneville says in a news release. “Finding strength to persevere is tough, especially when given unjust
circumstances, and I hope that the strength that I’ve found will inspire others to find their strength, resilience and optimism…” This year also marks the first year a student will be awarded the Beth Hutchinson Standing Tall Award, honouring the 2012 Standing Tall Award recipient who lost her battle with cancer on Oct. 25, 2013 at the age of 20. The recipient of that award is Maple Ridge’s Emily King.

Vet honoured for war efforts White Rock senior George Davidge was among 25 Second World War veterans celebrated this month in Vancouver, on the 75th anniversary of Canada declaring war on Germany. Davidge, a naval vet, said the personalized Certificate of Recognition he received at the Beatty Street Drill Hall on Sept. 10 is available to any Second World War veteran, however, it must be applied for through Veterans Affairs. The certificates are presented by Minister of Veterans Affairs Julian Fantino, “on behalf of a grateful nation… As a tribute to your selfless acts of service and sacrifice dur-
ing the Second World War, in defence of Canada and our shared values of freedom, democracy and the rule of law.” Davidge noted that a commemorative lapel pin that was also presented is a replica of the original ‘Victory Nickel’, a coin that was minted in 1944-45, which bears a flaming torch and a large ‘V’ – representing both victory and the coin’s denomination. All living Canadian veterans of the Second World War are eligible for the distinction and Davidge encouraged vets on the Semiahmoo Peninsula to apply; call toll-free 1-866-5222122. – Tracy Holmes

Surrey picks up overtime-loss point after three-game weekend schedule
Eagles still searching for first victory Rick Kupchuk Black Press
Five games into the regular season, the Surrey Eagles are still looking for their first win. But with a pair of overtime losses, the BC Hockey League team is still tied for a playoff position in the Mainland Division. The Eagles were swept by the Chilliwack Chiefs in a home-andhome series this past weekend, with the Chiefs winning 2-1 in overtime Friday night at the South Surrey Arena and 6-2 Saturday in Chilliwack. On Sunday evening back in South Surrey, the Prince George Spruce Kings skated away with a 3-1 triumph, dropping the Eagles to 0-3-0-2 (won-lost-tiedovertime loss). With two points, they are tied for third place in the division with the Langley Rivermen and Coquitlam Express, each with one victory. The Eagles earned their second point of the season Friday night, but as they were in the first two games of the season, were again outshot by a wide margin. The Chiefs had a 45-27 edge in shots on goal, but both goaltenders were perfect until the final 10 minutes of the game. Craig Puffer scored a go-ahead goal for Chilliwack with eight minutes to play, but with just 67 seconds left on the clock, Trevor MacLean scored for Surrey to force overtime. A four-on-four extra period solved nothing, so the two sides went to three-on-three for a second overtime period. Puffer ended the game with his second goal of the night, capping off extra time that saw Chilliwack fire 14 pucks at Eagles netminder Christian Short, compared to just two Eagles shots at the Chilliwack net. The game was much more even Saturday night in Chilliwack, except in the goal-scoring department. Chilliwack led 2-1 after 20 minutes, with their goals

Prince George won the game 3-1. sandwiched around Ty Westgard’s third tally of the season. The Chiefs scored three times on just eight shots in the second period to take a 5-1 lead into the second intermission. Their fifth goal, coming just past the midway point of the game, chased Short from the Eagles net. Backup netminder Daniel Davidson, a 16-year-old Surrey native, played the final 29 minutes and made 14 saves on 15 shots.
Each team scored while on the powerplay in the third period, the Surrey goal coming from Brian Drapluk, a 20-year-old import from Florida. Chilliwack went two-for-six on the powerplay, while Surrey was one-for-seven. The Chiefs outshot their guests 34-31, and improved to 4-0-0-0 to lead the Mainland Division. The Eagles seemed poised for their third overtime game of the
young season Sunday, but the Spruce Kings broke a 1-1 tie with two goals in the last 16 seconds of the game. Surrey native Justin Rai opened the scoring eight seconds into the second period, but Ben Butcher of the Eagles tied the score two minutes later. Rai assisted on Chad Staley’s game winner with 16 seconds left to play in regulation time. Brent Lashuk of the Spruce Kings closed
out the scoring with two seconds remaining. The Eagles killed off their two shorthanded situations, but went zero-for-six while on the powerplay. Short was again a standout in goal, making 41 saves on 44 shots. The Eagles will play at home twice next weekend, hosting the 2-2-0-0 Nanaimo Clippers Friday night at 7:11 p.m. and the Rivermen Sunday at 4 p.m.

High school football season begins
Mariners open with big win Rick Kupchuk Black Press
More than a little rusty due to a lack of practice, the Earl Marriott Mariners still managed to win their first regular season game in BC Secondary Schools Football Association play. The Mariners topped the Howe Sound Sounders 28-6 Friday afternoon at Earl Marriott Secondary, the first of four league games on their Tier II schedule. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were sloppy, but we had more athletes than they did,â&#x20AC;? said Mariners head coach Mike MacKay-Dunn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It looked like we only had five or six practices.â&#x20AC;? Practices were limited, then nonexistent, during the strike by the B.C. Teachers Federation. The Mariners took to the field once or twice until the Surrey School District stopped all extra-curricular activities, but practice resumed once schools reopened Sept. 22. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can go out and get on the field as much as you want on your own, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the same,â&#x20AC;? said MacKayDunn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As for systems, and precision, we need more practice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the kids were very excited. When something is taken

away from you, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more precious when you get it back.â&#x20AC;? Nathan Brown rushed for more than 100 yards and a pair of touchdowns to lead the attack against Howe Sound, Patrick Grabowski added 60 yards rushing and a major score, while Robbie Herrington recovered a fumble and returned it 30 yards for the fourth touchdown. Quarterback Chris Riley passed for 120 yards and ran for 40 more. Grabowski and Jaydon Sanderson were the leading tacklers on defense, and Johnny Meneray had an interception. With their first league game behind them, the Mariners wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play another until Oct. 24. Until then, MacKayDunn has arranged a pair of exhibition games, and hopes to add a third before league play resumes. Earl Marriott will travel to Washington state for a game next Friday, then will host the Duchess Park Condors of Prince George on Oct. 11. Q The Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers opened their Senior AA regular season with a 42-9 loss to the Terry Fox Ravens last Friday. The Ravens are now 2-0.
