White Rock candidates each say the other shouldn’t be running
Mayoral accusations get personal Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Mud-slinging is ramping up in White Rock, as election day draws closer, with the city’s two mayoral candidates each calling the other out on past and current behaviour. Following comments emailed by incumbent Wayne Baldwin to supporters after a televised CBC News item Nov. 4, challenger David Bradshaw has called the email “dis-
gusting,” asking White Rock’s chief election officer, Tracey Arthur, to intervene. Baldwin’s email, drawing attention to his website, followed CBC’s report of a wrongful dismissal grievance filed by Bradshaw against the BC Teachers’ Federation. “CBC TV just tonight did a news item on my opponent David Bradshaw, that just makes you wonder ‘what was he thinking?’ when he submitted his nomination papers for the May-
or’s position,” Baldwin’s email to unidentified supporters states. “This man is not capable or fit to be in public office. This news article provides a lot of insight into his ‘missing years’ because he does not talk about his most recent employment at the BCTF in any of his campaign material – now you see why.” On Friday, Bradshaw emailed Arthur, who is also White Rock’s city clerk. “In your capacity as Chief Elections Officer,
I am requesting that you bring the disgusting behavior of Wayne Baldwin to the Elections BC. Enclosed is just one example of this man’s unacceptable behavior, which is libelous,” Bradshaw writes. “Previously you sent out information to all candidates advising that a previous Councillor was removed from office for objectionable conduct. I believe this same result should be applied in this matter.” i see page 4

Waterfront wander

Bundled up for the quickly cooling weather, a man walks his dog along the Crescent Beach waterfront on a recent autumn morning, passing others who have paused to enjoy the crisp view of the North Shore mountains. The forecast for the rest of this week calls for more sunshine – and more reason to dress warm, with daytime temperatures to dip to 4º C by Friday.
Police fear late-night break-ins will turn violent
‘These people will not stop until caught’ Alex Browne Staff Reporter

A rash of gas station and conveniencestore robberies throughout Surrey since Sept. 24 is prompting police to ask for the public’s help to identify suspects before the crimes escalate into potentially violent situations. “It’s only a matter of time before we’re dealing with a larger crime instead of a theft,” Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet warned Thursday.
Paquet noted the robberies – which have struck most areas of the city – have typically taken place in the 3-6 a.m. time period and the robbers have primarily focused on tobacco products. Similarity of the crimes leads police to believe the same two people are responsible – in the majority of cases, a stolen Dodge Caravan was backed into the businesses’ front doors to open them. A media release describes the suspects as five-foot-nine to six-foot-two white

males weighing 180 to 200 pounds. Paquet said that while no store employees have been harmed thus far, physical intimidation and threats of violence have been used – and in one instance one of the robbers brandished a knife. “These are property crimes right now and nobody has been hurt,” he said. “But these people will not stop until they’re caught. We’re trying to do that before someone gets hurt.” i see page 2
Former Langley Township councillor Dean Drysdale is the Conservative candidate in the new riding of Cloverdale-Langley City. Drysdale, who served as councillor from 1996 to 2002, won on the third ballot over Mike Garisto of Cloverdale. Former Liberal MLA Dave Hayer was forced off the ballot after the second round, while Tako van Popta had to withdraw after the first round. Last week, the Dean Drysdale C o n s e r v a t i v e Cloverdale hopeful party told candidates Gurmant Grewal and Paul Brar that they had to withdraw from the nomination race, narrowing the field to four. Reasons have not been made public. Grewal served as an MP from 1997 to 2006, initially in the Surrey Central riding and later in NewtonNorth Delta. His wife, Nina, is MP for Fleetwood-Port Kells. The Grewals were the first married couple to serve as MPs at the same time. i see page 2

Ousted Grewal offers support
i from page 1 In a news release Thursday, Grewal said the party notified him he was disqualified to seek the nomination, and gave no reason. “I have dedicated the prime of my life to helping to build the Conservative Party and its legacy parties. Though my silence is not my weakness, I have supported my party and its leaders through thick and thin. I continue to support the Conservative Party of Canada and the leadership of the prime minister, and wish them success in the next election,” he said. Brar – managing director at the Bombay Banquet Hall in Surrey – launched his candidacy more than a year ago. As of Monday
morning, his website made no mention of his withdrawal from the race. Voting took place at A.J. McLellan Elementary in Cloverdale on Saturday. The new riding includes area currently served by retiring South Surrey-White RockCloverdale Conservative MP Russ Hiebert. Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts was announced in September as the Conservative candidate in the new South Surrey-White Rock riding, Drysdale will face Liberal candidate John Aldag in the riding in the next federal election, which is expected next October. The NDP have yet to select a candidate in the riding.
Police seek more information
i from page 1 While the thieves have sometimes helped themselves to other items, including lottery tickets, police “believe tobacco products are the motivation behind the robberies.” And that gives additional hope of catching up with the suspects, Paquet said, as well as forensic and surveillance evidence and wit-
ness descriptions. “Based on the quantity of cigarettes being taken, we believe they’re being sold to an unidentified commercial buyer who is reselling them,” he said. “We need to hear from anyone who knows about this illegal trade. It’s possible that someone does not know about the high risks involved in these robberies.”

Elections BC responds to complaints over automated messages for White Rock candidates
St. Germain’s civic robocalls reworded Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
A retired Surrey senator’s automated endorsement of a six-member slate running for election in White Rock has prompted a complaint to Elections BC over inappropriate advertising. Elections BC communications manager Don Bain Friday confirmed the violation by the White Rock Coalition. It entails a failure to include a statement of authorization by the group’s financial agent with the automated message. “Advertising all requires an authorization statement,” Main told Peace Arch News, cit-
ing new rules that took effect last May regarding advertising and campaign financing. “We’re still working with them to have the authorization statement included.” Coalition spokesperson Gordon Schoberg said the telephone endorsement by Gerry St. Germain rang at more than 10,000 residential White Rock lines last Wednesday evening (Nov. 5). In the recording, the senator – who is also a former president of the Conservative Party of Canada, minister of transport, minister of forestry and MP for Mission-Port Moody – identifies himself immediately as a retired senator, and states he is calling on behalf of
the coalition. “It was a mutual thing,” Schoberg He then names the six candidates said. “We felt he would be a good (incumbents Grant Meyer and Bill endorser.” Lawrence along with Lynne Sinclair, Schoberg said the phone numbers Megan Knight, Doug Hart and of residents who have contacted the Cliff Annable), provides contact coalition to complain have been information and concludes with, “I removed from the call-out list. believe we need a progressive team He added he disagrees with Elecrepresenting all of White Rock. tions BC’s interpretation of the Thank you and good evening.” advertising rules, but has complied Gerry St. Germain Schoberg said the endorsement was by modifying the script.

BNSF, city clean up
Another found mess A pile of garbage dumped on the BNSF right-of-way will be jointly cleaned up by the railway owner and the City of White Rock. The litter, reported to Peace Arch News last week, was discovered by South Surrey resident Ellen Baragon near the 123-mile marker on Nov. 3, during a morning walk along West Beach. It’s “quite a large pile,” she said. “I was looking at the garbage bags to see if maybe it was some kind of (shoreline) cleanup thing… but there was wood in there and weird things. “I just think it shouldn’t be sitting there… the birds are going to get into it and spread it around.” Shannon Levesque, the city’s communications officer, told PAN last week that the mess would be cleaned up within days. She was not aware of any other similar reports in recent months, but said anyone who does make such discoveries may report them to the city’s operations department, at 604-541-2181. – Tracy Holmes

The number of people turning out to early voting opportunities in Surrey has almost doubled from three years ago, suggesting several things are in play, according to a political expert. A total of 11,747 people voted at advanced polls for the Nov. 15 civic election in Surrey – 84 per cent more than in 2011, when 6,396 came out. There are several reasons for an increase like that, according to SFU political-science professor Patrick Smith. Firstly, it’s become much easier to vote at advanced polls and cities are doing a better job of letting people know they can use the opportunity. In addition, in Surrey, there are three well-oiled machines, behind mayoral candidates Doug McCallum, Barinder Rasode and Linda Hepner, cranking up their get-

However, Smith said the 84-per-cent increase in voter turnout is a “noticeable” jump and probably indicates there will be a large voter turnout on election day. Where are the new votes coming from? Smith said it’s not easy to say, but one pos-
sibility is that Rasode’s One Surrey team is achieving success in getting the youth vote out. If that’s the case, the large number of undecided voters that remain may work well for Rasode. There’s also the possibility that the large number of undecided voters may walk into
Advance voting in White Rock has also been brisker compared to the number of ballots cast ahead of the last civic election, although it’s too soon to say if the increase will come close to that seen in its muchlarger neighbour. Chief election officer Tracey Arthur said 749 ballots were cast in the city’s first two days of advance voting, held Nov. 5 and 6. That’s more than the entire three days in 2011, when a total of 736 ballots were cast. The last opportunity to vote in advance of Saturday takes place Wednesday, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the White Rock Community Centre, 15154 Russell Ave. – with files from Tracy Holmes

Voting guides incorrectly delivered to Langley residents
Surrey info ends up east Kevin Diakiw Black Press
Residents of Langley are wondering why they are receiving Surrey voters’ guides in their mailboxes. Walnut Grove’s Ron Steele said he received the glossy 24-page Surrey voters’ guide at his home and he was surprised at the blunder. “I just thought how incompetent these people in Surrey are,” Steele said. Surrey staff became aware of the problem on Wednesday morning. A staffer said that night that the city used Canada Post to get the guides to all homes in Surrey. Canada Post uses a Forward Sortation Area, which draws on the first three digits of the postal code, most of which remain along city lines. An exception is the postal code beginning with V1M, which straddles Surrey and Walnut Grove in Langley. Staff say there were 900 brochures that went into the Langley area and cost the city $114 to produce and mail. Staff said the city was still able to get the brochures out to all the homes in Surrey despite the mistake. South Surrey’s Michael Proskow said he was also disturbed to see the Surrey First election pamphlet
Health officer departs Fraser Health’s Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Paul Van Buynder has left Canada to return to his native Australia. Van Buynder had been prominent in several health-related issues, particularly Fraser Surrey Docks’ proposal for a coal transfer terminal in Surrey that would see more coal trains move through White Rock and South Surrey, and send barges down the Fraser River. As chief medical health officer, he repeatedly urged Port Metro Vancouver to conduct a full health impact assessment into the risks from coal dust and other impacts and he criticized the research that was carried out ahead of the port’s decision to approve the project. Dr. Victoria Lee is serving as interim chief medical health officer while the health region searches for a replacement.
bundled with the City of Surrey election guide. “You just assume everything in your hand is Surrey First advertising, and it wasn’t,” Proskow said. “They came in the same handful.” He said in all likelihood the letter carriers put them together for easy of distribution. “I wouldn’t suggest they (the city) had any certainty of it happening,” Proskow said, adding he just smiled when he saw it. City staff confirm Proskow’s reasoning for how the events unfolded. It’s just the latest in a series of pre-election mistakes that included misprints on the ballots at the first advanced polls. The ballots neglected to list party affiliations of two candidates who were affiliated with One Surrey. About 800 ballots were compromised and are being counted separately, as per the ministry in charge of local elections. One Surrey is appealing to the ministry to have a third party take over control of Surrey’s electoral process. One Surrey campaign manager Brad Zubyk said a letter was sent to the minister in charge on Wednesday. Zubyk couldn’t say when he expects a response. He doesn’t blame anyone for the errors, but said the municipal
electoral system is in disrepair. “If this goes forward, changing the system, I’d be happy with that,” Zubyk said.
$141M committed The current ruling party on council is promising to extend its “Build Surrey” program by investing another $141 million in local capital projects. Under Build Surrey, The Next Generation, Surrey First vows to build a $60-million ice rink in Cloverdale (under a public-private partnership), an $11-million recreation centre in East Clayton and a $70-million performing arts centre in City Centre.

Never forget
F
or some years it has appeared that Remembrance Day would be in danger of slipping quietly into a historical category that some equate only with irrelevance. As the passage of time has guaranteed that surviving veterans of the Second World War have dwindled, sadly, into but a handful in each community across Canada, so the lingering images of the two world wars have faded in the public mind to a handful of pages in a history text. Some might have asked – might still ask, in fact – what the point is of marking such dates as the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War, the 75th of the start of the second, and the 70th of D-Day – the launch of the invasion that marked the turning point of the latter conflict. It is true that those Canadians (and their allies) who sacrificed their lives in service of their country, for rights and freedoms we now take for granted, are long dead. But it has become increasingly clear to subsequent generations that the issues that led to such sacrifice are far from extinct. To be sure, the tragic and untimely deaths of Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, run down by a car in St. Jean-sur-Richelieu in Quebec on Oct. 20, and Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, who gave his life Oct. 22 while guarding the National War Memorial in Ottawa, have given a symbolic currency to this week’s Remembrance Day ceremonies, and impressed on ordinary Canadians the importance of solidarity with this country’s serving men and women, both past and present. But everywhere we look in the world, we can see plenty of up-to-date evidence that the human race has not learned much from the past 100 years of history. Nationalistic fervour and political extremism are as prevalent, and as dangerous in the world, as they were in 1914 and 1939 – or in 1950, when the Korean War once more sent Canadian troops back to a fighting front. Canadian soldiers, and their allies, have faced many dangers since, whether through peacekeeping missions or the current rounds of more active deployments. Many have given their lives, or now survive with injuries that make day-to-day living a continual struggle. It is of all of them – as well as those who sacrificed by serving in past wars – that we should be thinking when we donate for a poppy, or stand in silence at a cenotaph on Nov. 11.

biologists rushed to media to frame this as a crisis caused by a lack of sea ice. This claim has been demolished by Susan Crockford, an evolutionary biologist who teaches at the University of Victoria. If you Google “Walrus mass haulout hype refuted” you will find Crockford’s brief video showing a long, pre-industrial history of these events. She concludes that they are a sign of overpopulation in the now-protected walrus herds. Crockford’s website, polarbearscience. com, debunks similar claims made about supposedly disappearing polar bears that have been a mainstay over the years to drive the global warming narrative. In terms of actual reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, there are signs of progress. The United States has made considerable strides, thanks to abundant shale gas that has allowed it to switch from some of its 600-odd coal-fired power plants. Which brings us back to B.C.’s push for natural gas exports. The NDP claims to support this, but has spent hours in the legislature warning of a giveaway of the resource, imagined fracking disasters and LNG tanker explosions and everything else they can dream up to throw at it. This is the same party that campaigned against the carbon tax in 2009 and hasn’t had a coherent energy policy since. But this isn’t some partisan game. It’s about whether B.C. maintains its gas industry. And so far natural gas is the only thing that has substantially cut carbon emissions.

Time to talk civic issues Editor: Is affordable housing an issue for you? For White Rock? Housing issues exist for everyone across income brackets – $10,000 to $80,000. CMHC provides standard definitions to determine whether affordable, adequate, appropriate housing is a problem. These definitions are important, because municipalities are expected to adhere to these standards in the Official Community Plan. Affordable housing costs less than 30 per cent of pre-tax household income. Households in core housing need to spend 30 per cent or more of pre-tax income to pay median rent, including utilities. In White Rock, the median rent is $891 for a one-bedroom suite, not including utilities. This means, if your pre-tax income is $27,814 or less, and you pay monthly $900 for rent, you are paying $205 beyond the affordability index. If your income is $19,460 or less, and you pay $850 for rent, you are paying $364 beyond the affordability index. Factor in basic costs such as hydro, food, transportation and medical, and you are at imminent risk of homelessness. In White Rock, 32 per cent of the population rents in aged rental stock, with 45.1 per cent paying 30 per cent plus, and 10 per cent receiving subsidy. Seniors 65+ make up 29 per cent plus of the population, and if you look at seniors aged 60 onward, when BC Housing’s Safer program kicks in, the percentage of seniors rises to 39 per cent. On Oct. 22, Isobel Mackenzie, seniors advocate with the Ministry of Health, announced affordable, appropriate, adequate and accessible housing as the number 1 issue for seniors and for her department. For White Rock, in 2006 these issues received miniscule attention. In 2010, White Rock received $5,000 from CMHC to develop a strategic plan, which never made it into the OCP. Now it’s 2014 and election time. Whoever gets elected, their first job will be coming up to speed on what other municipalities have accomplished, and the standards other municipalities have set in place. Ask candidates: What will you commit doing about it? Rose Marie Borutski & Deirdre Goudriaan, Semiahmoo Seniors Planning Table Q Another undemocratic and boring meeting (Frustrations air at W.R. debate, Nov. 4). The people from White Rock came to participate in a lively debate; they learned nothing! As usual, a group of the organizing committee scrutinized the questions to the candidates and sorted them into different piles. Then the candidates had two minutes to speak; did they not get their views across to the electorate before? Forty minutes gone. Then the moderator announces there are too many questions to
the candidates and he has decided to restrict the “debate” to two or three topics. He also informs the audience that “these people (mayor and council) cannot decide on the future of the railway tracks; that is for the feds in Ottawa.” Wrong He also says transport comes under the province, as does health care. I expected the incumbents to protest. After all, they had just spent $20,000 for a consultant to advise them how to complete Transport Canada application documents to relocate the tracks, since staff advised them they are not qualified. The 38-page report from the consultant could have been written, for free, by half a dozen qualified White Rock residents. Regarding transport, if the municipal governments do not lobby the provincial government and/ or TransLink, how do you think improvements can be achieved? As for health care, unless somebody presses the government to add more beds to a hospital, nothing is going to happen. It’s very simple to condense diverse questions into two or three dozen precise questions to a candidate. Give her/him two minutes to reply, inviting maximum two candidates to express their views. Scrap opening and closing statements. Candidates can call and organize their own meetings. Wolfgang Schmitz, White Rock
Maintain student safety Editor: We are a group of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer youth ages 13-21. We are advocates, activists and educators with the goal of making a difference in the lives of youth. We are writing in response to a group of organized adults who have asked school trustee candidates to pledge to a certain view of marriage and gender, and in Surrey asking them to rescind the regulation 9410.2 Safe and Caring Schools, the small protection that we have (‘Family group’ targets pro-gay policy, Oct. 23). We are not aiming to enter a debate, we would just like to have our experiences and voices heard, and to ask candidates to respect the need for the policy. Numerous members of our group and others have suffered targeted violence in the public-school system. One boy changed schools, due to homophobic bullying, and, on the first day at his new school, he was pushed into a locker and assaulted. One of our members was shamed during gym class. The class was divided into two groups; girls and boys. She did not feel as though she fit either, and was pushed back and forth while slurs were shouted at her.
Another was told by her classmate that she should die and to watch her back, resulting in her skipping classes in fear of being attacked. These are just a few of the stories that youth face in schools. If these actions took place in an adult work environment, it would be considered harassment, discrimination, violence and hate crime. So why are we letting this happen to our youth? In schools, according to Egale Canada, 20 per cent of heterosexual students reported feeling unsafe, and 75 per cent of LGB students and 95 per cent of trans students reported feeling unsafe. These statistics are evidence of our anxieties and stress levels, the threats to our ability to focus and study, and the harm it can do to our physical health. For example, the absence of genderneutral washrooms makes these spaces dangerous environments for students who do not feel they can safely enter a female or male washroom, without being harassed. This fear leads to students not using the washrooms, which is why there are increased levels of urinary-tract infections among trans and nongender-conforming youth. This is signed by only our two founding members – rather than with all our individual names. Given the circumstances, we feel at this point it is unsafe to do so.

Letter writers suggest the solemness of Remembrance Day be respected by attendees of public ceremonies.
A moment for honour, decorum Editor: Remembrance Day is today, and many of us are attending the various ceremonies around town. Could you please remind your readers that this is a ceremony: it is not a hockey game; it is not a theatrical event. Therefore it is not necessary to applaud after the playing of the national anthem nor the Last Post. Jim Armstrong, Surrey Q Open letter to whomever organizes and hosts the Remembrance Day ceremony in White Rock. Please remember last year’s errors in judgment and ensure that the ceremony is conducted as it should be: honouring those who fought and sacrificed in the wars of the past and the present. This includes not calling for the two minutes of silence five minutes early because “oh, it’s OK to just do it now since we all seem to be here,” or some such reasoning. I know there were other mistakes made last year, and I urge the editor to dig up all the letters submitted in the days following in response to the issues we had and send them to the organizers, so that they have a “lessons learned” document to use in planning this year’s event. Anne Friendly, White Rock
Once a year, we gather They leave family at home These women and men Travelling to all four corners of this blue planet Weapons of steel and wood Cloth to bandage wounds Some to conquer, others to bring peace Uniforms to rags they suffer They do what they have been told They suffer for doing it And too many died doing it We honour them with a tear We cry for our loss Flowers to say we still remember We buy poppies to support the survivors The survivors among us we salute We listen to the past and what they have to say They walk with us Once a year, we gather to remember these fallen souls Let us honour the living We pray that the number of fallen and wounded soldiers get fewer and fewer Mike Stuyt, Surrey

White Rock to back Surrey’s quest for intervener status in coal-facility dispute
Seaside city’s odds of success deemed unlikely Tracy Holmes

Staff Reporter
The City of White Rock will back the City of Surrey in its application for intervener status in the court action challenging Port Metro Vancouver's approval of Fraser Surrey Docks' new direct-transfer coal facility. Mayor Wayne Baldwin announced the decision last week, during the final council meeting of the term. Made during a closed meeting held immediately prior to the public proceedings, it resulted from legal advice regarding the city's own odds of both being accepted as interveners in the case, and, if so, their odds of success. "Neither one looked good," Baldwin told Peace Arch News Tuesday. "We felt rather than waste money on this, we will support Surrey and New Westminster." Surrey's decision to apply was made Oct. 20. Port Metro Vancouver in August issued a permit to Fraser Surrey Docks for the

White Rock and Surrey are applying for intervener status in the court action regarding approval of Fraser Surrey Docks’ coal facility. construction and operation of the new $15-million facility, which is anticipated to be operational next fall. The project will see at least four million tonnes per year of U.S. coal roll through White Rock and Surrey to FSD, from where it will be barged to Texada Island for reloading to oceangoing ships. PMV's approval followed nearly two years of considerable opposition to the plans from environmentalists, residents and other groups concerned about the terminal's potential harm on the environment and air quality.
The court challenge – by the South Surreybased Communities and Coal Society, Voters Taking Action on Climate Change, Christine Dujomovich and Paula Williams, represented by Ecojustice Canada Society – was filed in September and calls for a judicial review of the decision. Minutes of Surrey council's Oct. 20 meeting note intervener status "will allow the City of Surrey to work with the proponents as they work through the process."

South Surrey man writes second novel based on military service
Author pens story on Cold-War climax “The enormity of what had transpired hit Ted. A dogfight at sea, with the enemy coming out worse for wear. Alert had opened fire on a Soviet bloc naval vessel, and outand-out act of war. But the Soviet had fired first.” -Terror on the Alert, by Robert W. Mackay Boaz Joseph
T
Black Press
wo years ago, Robert W. Mackay wrote a novel set late in the First World War about a fictional cavalryman who was based on his father. Mackay has now published his second military fiction, Terror on the Alert, and its subject is in some ways even closer to home. Much of the activity takes place aboard the HMCS Alert, an Acheron-Class diesel submarine crewed by Canadians during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. The story is set about five years before Mackay was a crew member of the sameclass, non-fiction HMCS Alderney in the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN), in which he served from 1959 to 1972. Before he left the Navy, Mackay also served on the newer Oberon-Class submarine, the HMCS Okanagan. Although Mackay didn’t fire off any torpedoes in anger during military service during the Cold War, he was acutely aware of the hardships and technical issues that submariners have always gone through. “Submarines are cranky machines,” says the 72-year-old South Surrey author. Indeed, Ted Hawkins, the protagonist and third-in-command of the fictional Alert is inundated with breakdowns such as water leaks, unvented chlorine gas and a bent snort mast, which is damaged in rough waters. (Without that mast, the sub can’t run its diesel engines and recharge its batteries at periscope depth). Hawkins also has marital issues, a bout of trauma-induced claustrophobia – the last thing a submariner needs – and an executive officer out for revenge. “I wanted to give the hero lots of problems,” says Mackay, who adds that one naval officer who read the book told him that few naval officers haven’t met an exec who didn’t hate them at one point in their careers. The author says he was careful to avoid technical errors, to appease the experts, but kept things simple enough for lay-readers. Hawkins’ troubles include an

incapacitated captain and a Soviet sub looking for a fight – and getting one. It’s an adventure, as any story should be, but there’s also history in the fiction.
Few Canadians are aware that the RCN had its crews train on British submarines based out of Halifax – boats that were deployed in anti-Soviet naval surveillance
during the Cuban Missile Crisis. For days, Soviet and Western navies taunted each other, with Soviet submariners reportedly given clearance to fire, which they never did. Canadians crews were involved in the Atlantic activity at the time because there was collaboration between the RCN and the Royal Navy’s submarine arms in the early 1960s, before some older British submarines were transferred to Canada a few years later. With full historical intention, Mackay also published Terror on the Alert on the hundredth anniversary of the Canadian submarine story. In August 1914, as the First World War began, B.C. Premier Sir Richard McBride paid for two just-built submarines in Seattle, and spirited them to Esquimalt Harbour just before the United States’ Neutrality Act kicked in. Two days later, the RCN took possessions of the CC1 and CC2, which became of Canada’s first two submarines. Terror on the Alert ($16.95) is published by Touchwood Editions.

Extreme-weather facilities to expand in White Rock, Surrey
Shelters to have more beds With winter closing in, the provincial government has announced funding for 15 extreme-weather shelter beds in White Rock, and for 120 in Surrey. The temporary spaces will be available through March 31, as communities issue extreme-weather alerts. Each community decides what weather conditions warrant an alert and how many spaces to activate on a given night, depending on the capacity of existing shelters and the estimated need. In White Rock, the beds are at First United Church (15385 Semiahmoo Ave.). In Surrey, the spaces are at Cloverdale Church (102-17802 66 Ave.), KEYS: Housing & Health Solutions (9012 160 St., 10697

More than 50 honoured for longevity
Local businesses celebrated
Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Fifty-three White Rock businesses were recognized by council last week for operating 25 years or more – and one for 62 years in the city.

SCHOOL TRUSTEE CANDIDATES
Allen, Terry* SFE School Board Trustee
1. More classroom space 2. Adequate funding 3. Best public education I understand the fundamental importance of a sound publicly funded education system and I believe as a Trustee, I will ensure the Surrey School District maintains its high standard of excellence. I will also commit to continue to fight for Surrey’s fair share of all education funding and to make sure the funding goes where it is most needed – in the classroom. Along with my team of Surrey First Education, we will not stop the fight for more classroom space and new schools. We will continue our work in building relationships with teachers and support staff.
NOVEMBER 15 Surrey Board of Education candidates – listed in ballot order – were asked to provide their occupation, top three issues (up to three words each) and platform (up to 100 words).

1. Safety 2. Communication 3. Parent involvement
Roughly 7,000 students attend class in portables and they do not provide an adequate learning or teaching environment. It is priority to speak up about the budget for the Public School system in Surrey. Bullying has grown to new mediums. I have worked in schools providing anti-bullying workshops but funding has been cut for these programs. I will fight for programs that protect students. Mental Health is something that schools are overlooking. There is an increase in the concern and very little awareness. I will advocate for programs that educate students at the elementary school level as a proactive approach.
Dobie, Charlene* IND Surrey School Trustee / Education Assistant
1. Underfunding 2. Overcrowding 3. Community Engagement I will continue to lobby the Provincial Government to make Public Education a top priority. I will continue to be a strong voice on the Surrey Board of Education and advocate for the resources and services our students need. I will work with other elected officials in Surrey to get the capital funding we deserve. I will initiate “informal” trustee meetings with students, staff, parents and all community members. I will be a fully engaged School Trustee- approachable, progressive and a strong advocate for Public Education in Surrey- as I have done over the past 3 years.
Having been a teacher for over 20 years I have witnessed and experienced the challenges faced by students parents and teachers. These issues range from a lack of physical space for learning (we have far too many students in portables) to a lack of resources for all students. Although funding for all students has decreased; the reductions have been considerable for those students with special needs including developmental disorders such as Aspergers and Autism. Moreover, Surrey the largest School district with increasing student population deserves a better equity within the funding formula. I am committed to being a strong effective voice for action.
If elected I will devote myself whole heartedly to advocating for more funding that our growing community desperately needs. I will work with the district and board: To make sure that the staff members supervising our children have adequate training both in conflict resolution and first aid so that they can provide our students with a safe school environment. To implement a more collaborative stakeholder communication between the board and our voters to ensure they have more access to policies and regulations for review before they are voted on. To develop a meaningful connection to learning with more parent involvement.

1. Funding 2. Transparency 3. Parental Engagement
1. Bullying-free schools 2. Youth leadership opportunities: 3. Enhanced community engagement
For too long Surrey schools have suffered chronic underfunding. I will advocate for capital and classroom funding. Parents are busy - I will find creative ways to encourage school involvement by supporting staff with a more streamlined process and by making our schools hubs in the community. Often time’s parents are the last to know of changes or decisions the Ministry of Education has made. I will ensure transparency within the education system. Most importantly I want to put our children first, their future needs to be the center of our decision making process.
When elected, I will seek guidance from all stakeholders for the betterment of our students in order to make Surrey schools a shining example of what the public education system can be by promoting a safe and inclusive learning environment. I will work hard for the development of programs for at-risk students; donate 20% of my School Trustee salary to create curricular and extra-curricular opportunities for students to demonstrate their leadership; and more community and student engagement in making policies.

1. Advocate for funding 2. Safe caring schools 3. Improved Communication
My wife and I have spent most of our lives in Surrey, and our children attend Surrey schools. I’ve been involved in PACs for 11 years and the District PAC for 9 years including President and Co-President for 5 years; I’ve also sat on several district committees, and headed up many funding advocacy efforts including rallies, letter-writing campaigns, petitions, meetings with MLAs and Ministers of Education, and numerous media appearances. I will continue advocating for the properly funded education system that students of Surrey need, because our children deserve it. For more about me and my vision, please see bobholmes.ca
If elected, I will immediately put forward a sexual orientation and gender identity policy that at least matches what the Vancouver School Board passed earlier this year. I will also focus on improving substance abuse policies to bestpractice standards that recognize teenage years as a time for experimentation while promoting harm reduction efforts in order to prioritize students’ education over punishment for ‘stepping out of line’. Finally, I will submit a budget that reflects our kids’ needs, even if it is not balanced and I am fired as a result.
We fund $4 million on portables for students who should be in schools, and that money should spent in the classrooms. I will continue to advocate for the government to fully fund the needs of all students. Every child , no matter where they live, deserves a quality education and a safe, healthy and caring environment in which to learn in. I believe our staff work hard at working with the funding we are given but it isn’t enough. Our Teachers do not have the tools they need to do the job they are professionally trained and inspired to do.

2. Changes to Curriculum 3. Engagement, Student Success
I believe that School Boards should submit the budgets that they need to the provincial government and then stand strong to demand that the funding needed be delivered. I want to work with other trustees, teachers and parents to ensure that Surrey provides a wide range of programs to help all of our students to be successful in their education. My educational background leads me to promote healthy working conditions for students and teachers and this includes eliminating portables and alternate schedules. We need to maintain school boards and increase the influence of trustees in Ministry plans and policies.
REINVEST in LEARNING by increasing access to proper staffing and resources. Ensuring that schools have enough support workers such as: Counsellors, Librarians, SEAs, ELL support, Aboriginal Support Workers, Behavioural Specialists. REINVEST in CLASSROOMS by ensuring students have a permanent space to learn. Portables are not the solution. We must work in partnership with government to build proactive solutions for our growth demands. REINVEST in STUDENTS by growing their potential through innovative programs. We are a district with over 70,000 students who all need to be able to access programs that recognize their potential; no matter what their background or need.

My background strength comes from being raised in Surrey from elementary school all the way to secondary. Surrey schooling gave me the strength to finish my engineering at UBC. I have lived in Surrey for over 40 years. As a parent, I believe our children are our future and we must provide opportunity to grow in a healthy environment. The City is growing and the needs of the changing society must be addressed. Issues such as class sizes, funding, ensuring there are enough schools and good teachers, safe healthy learning environment are important to maintaining a high standard of education.
Solutions to current challenges for parents, students and supporters of the board need a multi-year program. The Band-Aid approach to problem solving must to be replaced with a long term, integrated approach. We need to invest in making permanent learning space in classrooms, employ more teachers and develop programs for our students to educate the next generation to compete in our complex global economy with relevant skills. My top priority will be to work with parents, staff, and community members to make our schools run more efficiently with a proper allocation of resources. Public education needs to matter to everyone.
Jonathan Silveira believes Surrey Kids Matter. As an entrepreneur, he understands the value of investing in education for the future. “Back in 2002, funding for the education of our kids was a priority and took about 19 per cent of B.C.’s spending dollars, but now that percentage has shrunk to barely 10 per cent, and this must change, because Surrey Kids Matter.” – Silveira. “Surrey is B.C.’s largest and fastest growing school district. Its unique needs require recognition from Victoria. We need an assertive Board of Education; with trustees that will advocate strongly for our district, its schools, and families.” – Silveira.

1. Equal access 2. Respected system 3. Students first
I would like to provide clear grounds for resource allocation and accountability on my part and all involved stakeholders. This means: Supporting the needs and choices of all students; Extra-curricular programs which keep kids engaged in their passions; Having counselling more approachable for all students; Being creative and promoting creativity in our schools; Staying connected with the fast-paced technology of today. I believe a larger investment in education leads to fewer resources needed in crime prevention. Building stronger humanitarian values of love, care and respect leads to a healthier school environment and the greater community.
I am a Deaf self-employed videographer. I am an active Deaf community member. I have two kids in French immersion elementary school in Surrey, where I have resided for the past 23 years. We need more diversity on the board of trustees and that’s why I want to represent every kid with special needs. There needs to be more transparency with the School Board Trustees. Calgary Mayor’s website is example of transparency. I am ready work with you in Surrey.
I care about creating equal access to opportunities. It is important to me that Surrey has a strong, thriving and respected public education system. I believe that all members of our community should be concerned about our city’s future economic prosperity, which is built on a foundation of today’s learners. With a strong public education system our community will secure a bright and prosperous future. My plan for Surrey is to be a liaison between parents, teachers, students and taxpayers to allow for meaningful dialogue around the topic of education. I want to be an advocate for Surrey’s public schools.

Although the Board has made significant progress is addressing new school spaces for students in the last three years, I will aggressively pursue funding for a secondary school in the Grandview area of Surrey in order to reduce the overcrowding situation at Earl Marriott Secondary. The funding formula for students with unique or special needs is completely inadequate, particularly for students who are not designated but do need extra support. I will press this issue relentlessly with Government. I will continue promoting programs that have demonstrated positive results in helping students complete school and obtain their graduation certificate.

Senior marks 100th birthday Longtime White Rock resident Kathleen Courtney Anderson turned 100 years old on Oct. 18. The centenarian celebrated the milestone with her family and also received a letter from the Queen of England, the Attorney General of Canada and the Prime Minister of Canada congratulating her. Born in the Point Grey area of Vancouver, Anderson raised two sons and two
daughters and has 10 grandchildren and 11 great-grand children. Prior to having her family, Anderson was a champion swimmer in both Canada and Australia. She has also travelled the world, including exotic locales on a steam boat. According to her granddaughter, Barbara Anderson Wagar, Anderson’s “most memorable saying” is “always keep your chin up.”

Thinking of moving in with your partner? Read the Family Law Act Àrst Planning to pack up and move in with your latest romantic partner? Before loading the U-Haul and driving off into the sunset, you may want to acquaint yourself with the provisions of British Columbia’s Family Law Act. Since March 2013, British Columbians living in so-called “common-law” relationships are subject to the same provincially imposed property-division scheme as are legally married spouses on relationship breakdown. This has far reaching effects on many British Columbians who are currently in, or who are considering entering, common law relationships. If you and your partner have lived together in a marriage-like relationship for two years, you are considered “spouses” under the Family Law Act and, upon separation, are subject to the property division and debt sharing rules set out in the Act. The provisions in the Act are, however, subject to agreement or court order. That means that you and your spouse can agree to divide property or debt differently than what the Act provides, by making a written agreement in accordance with the Act. If you are the party in the relationship with the majority of assets, or if your partner has a tendency to rack up credit card debt, you should strongly consider having a signed written agreement in place. Even for those individuals entering a relationship with no assets, it is of course prudent to be aware of the rights and obligations that will attach if you cohabit for two years, and how the Act may affect any property or debt that you or your partner acquire during the relationship. Failure to turn one’s mind to these issues in advance could result in unintended (and in some cases unfavorable) consequences on relationship breakdown. For more information on the Family Law Act or to inquire about making an agreement, contact Kirsten Wharton at BRAWN KARRAS & SANDERSON 604-542-5344 or by email at kwharton@bkslaw.com.

Nite of Champions set for Wednesday at Hazelmere Golf and Country Club
Brownlee to headline KidSport event Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
The local sports community – along with a few special guests – will gather together this week at Hazelmere Golf and Country Club in support of KidSport’s annual Nite of Champions event. For the third year in a row, Hockey Night in Canada broadcaster Jim Hughson – a South Surrey resident – will act as MC of the event, which is
set for Wednesday evening. This year’s guest speaker is B.C.-born country musician Chad Brownlee, who will no doubt entertain guests with tales of his unique career path. He will also perform. Before turning to music, the 30-yearold Lower Mainland resident had bigleague hockey dreams. He played two years of junior hockey for the Vernon Vipers of the BC Hockey League, before earning a scholarship to play at
Minnesota State-Mankato University. In 2003, Brownlee – a defenceman – was drafted by his hometown Vancouver Canucks, but after completing his university career and playing one year professionally in the minor leagues, he officially traded his hockey stick for a guitar. “It’s really neat to have him here, because he’s got a great story, and a great connection (to the sports community),” said Hughson.
The Nite of Champions has always attracted a who’s-who of local sports celebrities. Last year, Calgary Flames president – and former Vancouver Canucks general manager – Brian Burke was the guest of honour, and Canuck great – and new team president – Trevor Linden spoke at the inaugural gala in 2012.

Losing streak reaches 7 games
Injuries hit struggling Eagles Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
The losses – and the injuries – continue to mount for the Surrey Eagles. The struggling BC Hockey League team lost twice to the Coquitlam Express on the weekend – 6-4 Friday in Coquitlam and 10-5 Saturday in South Surrey – to bring their losing streak to seven games. “We are in a bit of a rough patch here, no question,” said head coach Blaine Neufeld. And to make matters worse, the young team is trying to dig themselves out of their current hole with a roster depleted by injuries, including to their starting goaltender, Christian Short. Short has been out for a week already, with what Neufeld called “an upper-body injury,” and he is expected to be out for three or four more weeks, leaving the goaltending duties to 16-year-old rookie Daniel Davidson and junior ‘B’ call-up Kurt Russell. With “five or six” guys already on the shelf heading into Friday’s two-game series against the defending BCHL champion Express, the Eagles were dealt a further, frightening blow when rookie forward Ty Westgard suffered i see page 27

Event raised $95K in 2013 i from page 25 Valentine and a handful of Olympic athletes have also been part of past events. Ronnie Paterson, president of the KidSport Surrey-White Rock chapter, said Buono plans to be back this year, and former Vancouver Canuck defenceman Jyrki Lumme will also be in attendance. “It’s been so meaningful for us to see so many people embrace the KidSport concept,” said Paterson, a former goaltender himself with the Canadian national program. “It’s a charity that everyone has really come together to support, and that’s really exciting.” The Nite of Champions is the KidSport Surrey-White Rock’s chief fundraiser for the year. Last year’s event raised $95,000, Paterson
said, and the ’12 gala raised about $85,000. Funds raised by KidSport help cover sports registration costs for young athletes who could not otherwise afford to play. Nearly 1,000 local athletes have benefitted from the charity’s efforts so far. “We live in an area here, in White Rock-South Surrey, which we think is an affluent community that might not have this type of need – but there is,” Hughson said. “It’s about kids, about staying active and playing sports… It’s a real easy thing to support. Why would you not want to be a part of it?” For more on the local branch of KidSport, visit www.kidsportcanada. ca/british-columbia/surrey-whiterock

PROF ESSIO NAL S Trip to Prince George next
i from page 25 what appeared to be a serious leg injury midway through the game in Coquitlam. After throwing a hit on the forecheck, Westgard and his Coquitlam target fell to the ice, and the Express defender’s skate came down on the back of Westgard’s leg, cutting him. Westgard made it back to the bench, where he was treated by the team’s trainer and emergency personnel, before leaving the game on a stretcher. Neufeld said the cut thankfully missed Westgard’s Achille’s tendon, and though it is “a deep cut” it could have easily been a lot worse. Westgard is only expected to miss about a week of action, beginning with Monday night’s game against the Langley Rivermen, which was played after press deadline. This weekend, the Eagles travel to Prince George for a pair of games against the Spruce Kings. Westgard’s injury aside, Neufeld was mostly pleased with his team’s effort Friday – for two periods at least. The game was tied 2-2 after 40 minutes of play – with Darius Davidson and John Wesley scoring for Surrey – but the Express blew the game open in the third, outscoring the visitors 4-1 in the final period. “I thought for the most part, we
played a great game, but our focus for 60 minutes doesn’t always seem to be there,” Neufeld said. “And you make a couple mistakes, and then you’re behind.” There were fewer positives to take from Saturday’s 10-5 loss, as Coquitlam scored five first-period goals and cruised to the win. It was the third time in four games that the Eagles have given up a minimum of 10 goals against – a stretch that coincides with the injury to Short. Neufeld wasn’t making the same connection, however. Rather than suggest goaltending has been an issue, the first-year coach insisted that team defence as a whole has been subpar. “We’re allowing teams to very easily come into our (zone) and get good quality shots,” he said. “We’re giving up Grade-A chances, and when you do that against (good) teams, they’re going to put those chances in the right spot, no matter who is in net.” Looking on the bright side, Neufeld did say the aforementioned defensive issues “are definitely solvable” while adding that the losing skid hasn’t dampened the spirits of his squad. “Our leadership group is strong. At this point, we really just need someone to take the bull by the horns and continue to lead us out of this (hole).”

We Remember.
Today we acknowledge all the men and women who served and are serving to protect our country. Veterans have endured a great deal, and many now face the challenge of recovery from trauma –physical injuries, muscle fatigue or overuse and stress. Massage therapy is one of many services available to service people to help with recovery, rehabilitation and maintenance. Registered Massage Therapists are trained to treat a broad range of conditions, and provide the tools necessary for pain management: Common reasons for seeking treatment by an RMT are: • reducing muscle tension, increasing flexibility, reducing scar tissue and adhesions; • creating functional scars from burn trauma; • assisting with the normalization of hormone production to reduce stress and promote relaxation; and improving posture and alignment. Massage therapy is covered through the Department of Veteran’s Affairs (DVA). Service people can contact their DVA adjudicator to confirm individual coverage. A doctor’s requisition is generally required prior to treatment. www.whiterockoptometry.com WHITE ROCK OPTOMETRY “Caring for you and your family for over 30 years”
