Mayoral challengers express surprise at outcome; mayor-elect Hepner says it was predicted

Second straight sweep for Surrey First Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Mayor-elect Linda Hepner on election night, backed by outgoing Mayor Dianne Watts.

Linda Hepner is Surrey’s next mayor and her Surrey First team has swept council. Hepner received 50,782 votes, almost doubling those garnered by former Mayor Doug McCallum, who took 27,982 votes. Barinder Rasode came in just behind McCallum with 21,764 people voting for her. Surrey First also had a lock on all council seats, putting a spread of more than 7,000 votes between them and their nearest competitors.

“Surrey has spoken loud and clear,” Hepner told the crowd of more than 400 gathered at the Central City Brew Pub on Saturday night after the polls closed. “They want us to go forward, not back.” Hepner told Black Press she was delighted but not surprised, indicating the coalition’s polling had been predicting the outcome. McCallum said he was surprised by the outcome, but added voters had chosen the Hepner plan over his, which “is the public’s right.” Rasode also expressed surprised, but said that despite the loss, she will remain a vis-

ible presence on the civic scene. She plans to keep her One Surrey team intact and said she may well be back on the ballot in 2018. “If you see my name on any ballot ever again, it will be at the municipal level,” Rasode said, noting that for now, she’ll be focusing on the issues facing the city. “I still believe very strongly that the issue of public safety has to be addressed… The second issue is, when we talk about transportation, we need to make sure we get a ‘yes’ vote on the (TransLink) referendum.” i see page 2

Kwomais Point rescue

Councillor shakeup

Man falls down cliff

Baldwin voted back in

Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A man in his 20s suffered serious back and leg injuries in a fall from cliffs near Kwomais Point, above Boundary Bay, Friday afternoon. It took efforts by several agencies – including RCMP, firefighters, paramedics, the Coast Guard and BNSF – to get him to safety. Surrey firefighters were alerted to the incident, near 128 Street and 13 Avenue, just before 4 p.m. Nov. 14 by B.C Ambulance Service. “From the sounds of it, he may have been in a tree and then fell… (or) he may have been just looking at the trees and stumbled,” Deputy Chief Dan Barnscher said. “Regardless, he ended up about 20 metres down the embankment.” Eighteen firefighters, including the department’s eight-member technical-rescue team, were dispatched, along with police, paramedics, and Coast Guard hovercraft and RCM-SAR5 (Crescent Beach) auxiliary crews. BNSF halted rail traffic along the line to ensure the evacuation route was clear and safe. The injured man was located just above the railway tracks, in thick blackberry bushes. i see page 9

White Rock residents voted Saturday to stay the course in the seaside city, re-electing Wayne Baldwin to the mayor’s chair. Preliminary results, after polls closed at 8 p.m. Nov. 15, indicate the former city manager – first elected mayor in 2011 – won 3,225 votes Saturday, nearly doubling challenger David Bradshaw, who received 1,640 votes. Official results are to be announced at 3 p.m. Wednesday. Baldwin, who was at city hall when the results came in, said he was not surprised by his win. “It’s up to the electorate,” he said. “Quite frankly, I think the people made the right choice.” Bradshaw couldn’t be reached for comment on election night. Monday morning, he was terse. “I think your paper is totally devoted (to) and influenced by the powers that be,” he told Peace Arch News. “I have nothing to say to you.” The councillor lineup received a shakeup, with three new faces: onetime councillor Lynne Sinclair, Megan Knight and David Chesney. i see page 4

i from page 1 Coun. Tom Gill topped the polls with 52,338 votes, not only edging out perennial poll-topper Judy Villeneuve but garnering more votes than the mayor herself – a rare occurrence. All of the Surrey First team was installed on council, including Gill, Villeneuve, Barbara Steele, Mary Martin, Bruce Hayne, as well as newly chosen councillor-elects Dave Woods, Mike Starchuk and Vera LeFranc. Safe Surrey’s Rina Gill was the closest non-elected council candidate, with just over 28,100 votes – 9,500 short of that necessary for a win. Surrey First Education (SFE) also installed all their candidates on school board. Incumbent SFE school trustees retained their seats, while incumbent independent trustee Charlene Dobie lost her spot at the Surrey Board of Education table Saturday night. SFE trustees Terry Allen, Laurie Larsen and Shawn Wilson were re-elected, while their SFE running mates Bob Holmes, Gary Tymoschuk and Garry Thind also handily won a seat. Surrey voters elect six of the seven trustees. Independent Trustee Laurae McNally, who is White Rock’s representative on the board, was acclaimed. Dobie was running with an unofficial coalition of six candidates called Surrey Progressives, none of whom were successful. Dobie was elected in 2011, serving one term as trustee. Larsen was the top vote getter,

followed by newcomer Holmes, who is the former co-chair of the Surrey District Parent Advisory Council. Larsen was elated with the result, saying she never, at any time, has been at the top of the polls. While Thind has no board of education experience, Tymoschuk served on the Surrey board from 1996-1999 and was a city councillor between 1999 and 2005. Two Surrey trustee seats were vacated by longtime former trustees Pam Glass and Reni Masi, who both retired this year. There was a lot to celebrate in Surrey, as a large number of people hit the polls on Saturday, with reports of half-hour lineups at the 52 voting stations across the city. In total, 88,897 people came out to vote, with another 11,747 casting ballots at the advanced polling stations. In all, it meant a 35-per-cent voter turnout of the 287,589 registered voters. It was expected to be a tight race between the three top polling mayoral candidates, but Hepner took an early lead and kept it. With the departure of outgoing Mayor Dianne Watts – who was named in September to be the Conservative candidate for the new South Surrey-White Rock federal riding, there were seven candidates vying for the centre chair, including independents Vikram Bajwa, John Edwards, Grand Rice and John Wolanski. – with files from Sheila Reynolds

Not many changes among Lower Mainland mayors

Metro incumbents make strong showing Jeff Nagel Black Press

Most Metro Vancouver mayors and councillors were re-elected Saturday night as voters largely opted to stick with the tried and true instead of turfing incumbents out of office. White Rock’s Wayne Baldwin, Burnaby’s Derek Corrigan, Richmond’s Malcolm Brodie, Coquitlam’s Richard Stewart and Port Coquitlam’s Greg Moore were among Metro mayors who were returned by wide margins. Surrey Coun. Linda Hepner took the mayor’s chair in B.C.’s second-largest city, defying expectations of a tight three-way race with rivals Barinder Rasode and Doug McCallum and riding a strong endorsement from outgoing Mayor Dianne Watts, who

has left civic politics to run as a federal Tory. Hepner got more votes than her two main challengers combined and her 21,389-vote margin of victory over McCallum is the largest of any mayor in the province. (The next closest was Corrigan, who had 19,265 votes more than the next closest contender in Burnaby.) It was a closer battle for Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson, who bested NPA challenger Kirk Lapointe by 10,000 votes. Green Coun. Adriane Carr this time topped the polls although no other Greens made it on Vancouver council and most incumbents were re-elected. On the basis of percentage of the popular vote, the most impressive win belonged to Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore, who

won 89 per cent of the vote, comyear mandate after serving as acting pared to 68 per cent for Stewart, 67.4 mayor following Peter Fassbender’s per cent for Brodie and 66 per cent 2013 election as a BC Liberal MLA for Baldwin.

First Nation concerned

New trestle scheduled Tracy Holmes & Alex Browne Staff Reporters

The long-awaited replacement of the Little Campbell trestle bridge is to take place Thursday. BNSF spokesman Gus Melonas confirmed this week that a 14-hour window has been scheduled for the $2-million project, getting underway at 8 a.m. Nov. 20. “We’ll have a crane on-site, it’ll be on the track with a power unit and multiple flatcars,” Melonas said. “The old bridge will be taken out with a crane, the new bridge will be replaced with a crane. “We’ll have a new bridge in operation by Friday.” The condition of the bridge has been the subject of concern for more than a year, in particular as the City of White Rock continues to push to stop the transportation of dangerous goods along the line. BNSF earmarked it for replacement in 2011. Melonas said Transport Canada granted authorization to conduct the work. He would not comment as to whether it has received a similar thumbs-up from the Semiahmoo First Nation. SFN councillor Joanne Charles told Peace Arch News Monday the band is consulting with Aboriginal Affairs about the project, since it asserts the land on which the bridge and the line sit was “not expropriated for railway use” when the line was built in the early 1900s. Charles said that while BNSF told the band earlier this year that it had a plan for replacing the bridge without gaining access through SFN property, the details were not known until after Transport Canada had granted necessary permits. Charles said SFN doesn’t know what mitigation is planned should there be a mishap. “My biggest fear is what if the bridge falls?” she said. “What if it’s so old it crumbles when they try to lift it?” Melonas said BNSF advised the band of the work to come. “We’re pleased that Transport Canada has authorized this project and we will ensure that we will not impact the First Nation land.”

Friday marked 100th anniversary of pier’s official grand opening

White Rock has a new centenarian Alex Browne Staff Reporter

The 100th anniversary of the opening of White Rock’s pier came on Friday morning without official fanfare – just the quiet appreciation of strollers walking in the footsteps of generations before them. The official opening ceremony for the city landmark took place on Nov. 14, 1914, with then-MP Col. J.D. Taylor and provincial parliament member F.J. MacKenzie among the dignitaries, according to Lorraine Ellenwood’s authoritative history, Years of Promise – White Rock 1858-1958. Conceived in peacetime as a federally funded wharf to accommodate steamers from Seattle, Victoria and Vancouver – and perhaps even international trade – the pier had already been

overshadowed by larger events in the world. Work on the wooden structure, started in July of that year, had already been completed in August – the same month that a series of political ultimatums in Europe escalated into the First World War. The impact on Canada of the outbreak of hostilities was cited as the main reason the official pier opening was pushed back to November. The completion of the Panama Canal the same year spelled the end of dreams of Semiahmoo Bay as an international trade centre and, aside from federal Fisheries boats and smaller vessels, the pier became largely a decorative attraction for both pedestrians and, until the 1950s, motorists. Discussions of having the pier as a terminus for island ferries ultimately came to naught.

The battering effect of storms on the pier had long led to calls for a permanent rock breakwater at the end which was added in 1953. Although even as early as 1949 a newspaper editorial asserted the pier had no real use, it has always been a point of pride for locals. When, in 1976, the then Federal Department of Transportation ruled that it was no longer going to be responsible for repair and maintenance of the “unused” pier, a popular movement – spearheaded by local yachting enthusiast Art Bates (who died last month at age 93) – succeeded in having the pier transferred to the city, which has maintained it, as a cornerstone of city recreation policy, ever since. A commemorative Party on the Pier was held this year on Aug. 28, serving as a fundraiser for the local arts community.

White Rock councillor hands out gifts, offers advice

Hutchinson ends council term ‘with a bang’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

In what was likely a record for councillor reports in White Rock, Louise Hutchinson wrapped up her final council meeting earlier this month with suggestions for incoming politicians, and parting goodies for those she has worked with over the past three years. Noting a promise she made last month to “make a lot of noise” before the end of the term, Hutchinson – the only incumbent not to seek re-election May 15 – proceeded with what she described as a “theatrical performance.” Over the course of about an hour at the end of the Nov. 3 meeting, assisted by a powerpoint presentation, Hutchinson touched on issues ranging from monster homes and greenspace, to the loss of two council mates and the opportunity White Rock has to market its

Tracy Holmes photo

Coun. Louise Hutchinson doles out goodies at her final council meeting, including a wand (above). ravine trails as recreation comparable to the North Shore’s Grouse Grind. “Is better possible?” she said. An advocate of the arts, she said she envisions jazz on the roof of the renovated washroom building on Marine Drive near Oxford Street; acoustic performances in the covered entranceway of the Centre for Active Living; and string quartets near the Eve Bene butterfly garden. “I hope Eric’s making notes,” she quipped, referring to leisure services director Eric Stepura.

She said a waterfront parkade is still viable, along with non-resident parking decals – the latter was tested over the 2012-’13 winter season, then shelved due to lack of interest – and reiterated her belief that large transit buses do not belong in White Rock. The statement last month, during a meeting of the Johnston Road Improvement and Beautification Task Force, raised some support but also the ire of several citizens who wrote critical letters on the matter to Peace Arch News.

“I still believe that large buses are not necessary in White Rock,” Hutchinson told her council peers, suggesting community shuttles would be more appropriate. From a treat bag, Hutchinson doled out various “gifts” to city staff, including a circa-1990 copy of the city’s Official Community Plan for director of planning and development services Karen Cooper, and a magic wand for financial services director Sandra Kurylo. She packaged up her “mint-condition” cityissued iPhone for IT manager Chris Zota. Her council mates were not exempt. Each received a colour-coded care kit complete with “tools for your trade.” Those included magic pills, a mask and tape (to help them hear, see and speak no evil); a crying towel for when they lose a vote; and magnets, to help them hold onto their ideas

and attract others. “What a way to go out,” Mayor Wayne Baldwin said of

Hutchinson’s swan song, before reciting a variation of a wellknown line from T.S.

Eliot’s The Hollow Men. “This is the way the term ends, not with a whimper but a bang.”

In White Rock, the return of incumbent mayor Wayne Baldwin to office (nearly doubling the tally of challenger David Bradshaw) was no great surprise, any more than the secure position of incumbent councillors Helen Fathers, Grant Meyer and Bill Lawrence – none of whom had set enough of a foot wrong with voters to experience a backlash. Unseated incumbent Alan Campbell had, however, incurred noticeable ire among some residents – which may have cost him, alongside credible campaigns mounted by Megan Knight, Lynne Sinclair and David Chesney. Knight has run for office before; erstwhile councillor Sinclair is anything but an unknown quantity; and frequent candidate and online commentator Chesney is also familiar to those who pay attention to the civic scene. Some may see the new White Rock council as having a majority in favour of development density, but, in light of the personalities involved, it is hard to imagine the business of the city being conducted without lively debate. But can the same be said of Surrey, where a sweep by mayoral candidate Linda Hepner and her Surrey First team appears to be a ringing endorsement of the regime of retiring mayor Dianne Watts? The result must certainly be disappointing, not only to her fellow mayoralty frontrunners – albeit far from the front itself – but also to anyone hoping for more openly debated leadership. The question of whether the voice of a single group – no matter how non-partisan its membership claims – can accurately encompass the concerns of all residents seems still as valid as it was during Watts’ term as mayor. And voters must now ask, where will the counterbalancing voice of dissent come from? As well, the result certainly call into question the value of polls that, on the eve of election, had Hepner, Doug McCallum and Barinder Rasode running neck and neck and neck. How scientific can such polls be when, on election night, Hepner equalled the votes of her six opponents combined? Of just one thing there can be little question; with a turnout of 34 per cent in White Rock and 35 per cent in Surrey, only a third of eligible voters made their wishes known. If others are dissatisfied with what transpires over the next four years, they can console themselves with the knowledge that by failing to use their votes, they turned them over to the winning candidates.

replaced by a provincially-appointed manager for two years. That brings up a modest proposal. How about an appointed trustee for each of the 60 school districts? School boards have lost authority over taxation, curriculum (another area of constant union social engineering pressure) and now labour relations. Do we really need them any more? After the 2013 B.C. election, the Christy Clark government wasted no time taking control of union bargaining on behalf of school districts. Trustees were pushed out of the bargaining agency, no longer trusted to represent taxpayers for that duty either. The puppet role of some school trustees was evident in the recent teacher strike. When the province opted to pay parents for the disruption, there was a chorus of protest from those supposedly elected to represent the interests of parents and taxpayers. School tax rates are now set by cabinet order, and the BC Liberal government is considering a move to regulate local industrial taxes. (This would presumably be to keep union-influenced municipalities from trying to get too many golden eggs from those liquefied natural gas plants.) Would Education Minister Peter Fassbender and his team continue their remake by amalgamating or eliminating school boards? Not likely. With a rare teacher settlement in place, trustees will have less incentive to grandstand. And their meetings may become something more than union beef sessions.

It takes a community Editor: I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin, the council members and residents, who gave us the opportunity and the wholehearted support for the Festival of Lights event in our City By The Sea (Inclusive Diwali attracts huge crowd, Oct. 21). This is the first time in the history of Canada that an event promoting the participation of the different cultures of the community has been held here in White Rock. This successful Diwali event was organized by the task force committee in less then eight weeks! This festival would not have been possible without the tremendous help and support of Eric Stepura, Betina Albornoz, Amy Baumann, Semiahmoo First Nation councillor Joanne Charles, Douglas Smith and all the members of the task force committee. My heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to our MLA Gordon Hogg, who, besides wearing dual hats, was a source of inspiration and guidance to hold this integration of different cultures in the community. My honorable mention of the two key players – Vivek Vasistha and Aditya Mohan – who burnt the midnight oil in organizing this remarkable event. Any event without the help and support of the volunteers is virtually impossible to hold. My personal thanks to Beth Kish, the acting executive director of Hospice Society of White Rock South Surrey, and to also the student volunteers of Semiahmoo Secondary. Peace Arch News coverage enabled us to successfully fulfill our dream of holding an event of such magnitude in the City of White Rock. Thanks a million to each one of you who participated in this festival. See you next year. Moti Bali, Diwali organizing committee chairman

Editor: Re: Surrey votes, Nov. 6 & Nov. 11. While pleased to see the list of civic candidates and brief descriptions in the Peace Arch News prior to the Surrey civic election on Nov. 15, I was disappointed that the information provided is useless as a guide to help voters make informed decisions at the ballot. The descriptions provided by the candidates – mayoral candidates, councillors and school trustees – all list platform claims that are undeniably issues that are important to Surrey residents. However, the issues listed are so similar and repetitive that there is little to distinguish one candidate from the other. In addition, sadly lacking is any meaningful information about the qualifications of the candidates; information that might provide support for their ability to achieve their claims. Without information on their work experience and track record of past deliverables, how can voters assess whether their platform goals are ‘motherhood and apple pie’ statements or achievable goals?

To find out more about the background and experience of the candidates, I visited the election website at www.surrey.ca – however, even on the city website, the backgrounds lack adequate details. Voters should be able to read about candidates’ education, work experience and past deliverables in order to assess the merit of each candidate. I am also concerned that many voters may not have access to the web version of the candidates’ background; these readers rely on the newspaper as a prime source of information. In addition to asking candidates for their top three issues and platform statements, it would be useful to have a response to the questions: “What qualities do you have that will allow you to do the job?” “What evidence can you provide?” “Why should I vote for you?” I hope in the future, as editor, you will provide readers with the ‘reality’ of candidates – who will be our subsequent elected representatives – in addition to the rhetoric of the platform statements.

White Rock readings taken earlier in fall

Emission tests may need re-do: Meyer Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

An effort to shed some light on the impact of coal dust and diesel emissions along White Rock’s waterfront may not have recorded a true picture of the issue. “Unfortunately, the empty cars are coming back through Sumas right now, so the readings may not be what we expected,” Coun. Grant Meyer told council earlier this month, during a brief report on the city’s rail-safety task force. At the city’s request, Metro Vancouver stationed mobile air-quality monitoring units at West Beach and city hall from Sept. 8 to Oct. 8. The request was made “to confirm or not any potential air-quality issues with coal trains and diesel,” Meyer, who chaired the task force, told council earlier this year. Concerns over potential health impacts of coal dust have been top of mind for officials and residents ever since Fraser Surrey Docks announced plans to build a new direct-transfer facility. The project received a green light from Port Metro Vancouver in August. In expressing doubt over the airquality results – which are expected back late this month – Meyer said there has been “misinformation out there.” “Part of it was, well, if it’s just been

Air quality is tested along the beach. emptied at Roberts Bank, maybe they would have more coal particulates than the northbound ones,” he said, noting those from Wyoming, “in theory, most of the dust should’ve blown off ” by the time they reach the waterfront. BNSF has been temporarily rerouting up to three empty coal trains per day through Surrey, Langley and Abbotsford since July to accommodate track upgrades and bridge work between the border and Burlington, Wash. Railway officials said last week that the rerouting is to continue until at least Nov. 30 and possibly into the new year. Meyer said depending on the airquality results, it may be worth asking Metro to bring the monitoring unit back for another round, when rail traffic is closer to the level it was when the idea was first floated. “It would be nice to have it here in the summer,” he said. “It’s always worth looking at again.”

Patients’ data – including lock-box codes – released

Apology over privacy breach Jeff Nagel Black Press

The Fraser Health Authority is apologizing after the loss of personal information of 121 of its Surrey-area home health clients. Spokesperson Erin Labbé said last week that a notebook containing the information was reported missing Sept. 25 by an employee at Newton Home Health. All the affected clients – mostly seniors who get in-home care – were immediately contacted by phone and additional letters warning about the risk of identity theft went out to 58 clients whose lost information included their personal health number. The notebook also contained

access codes to lock boxes containing keys to the homes of three clients. They’ve been urged to change their codes. “The loss of personal and private information is extremely concerning,” Labbé said. “We know that this type of situation can be very upsetting for our clients, and we apologize for the worry and trouble that it may cause.” Fraser Health offered to buy them one-year subscriptions to a credit monitoring service. Labbé said affected clients have also been urged to watch for fraudulent bank and credit card transactions and advised on how to protect themselves at home if someone arrives impersonat-

ing one of Fraser’s Home Health employees. She said there’s been no sign of any fraudulent activity so far. The incident was reported to B.C.’s Information and Privacy Commissioner and Fraser Health is reviewing its information-handling procedures with all its Home Health staff across the region, urging them to use locked storage and not leave such material unattended. “We acknowledge the severity of any privacy breach and understand the concerns our clients may have as a result of this situation,” Labbé said. The notebook is still missing despite a full search.

i from page 1 Firefighters initiated a low-angle rope rescue, making their way down the slope to the victim, who was conscious and complaining of back pain and possible fractures. “Packaged” to ensure he was immobilized, the man was en route to a waiting air ambulance – which had landed on the rocky foreshore about 500 metres from the cliff base – within an hour. RCM-SAR5 spokesman Morgan Brewster described the incident as a good example of inter-agency co-operation. “Everybody was needed there,” he said. The Crescent Beach crew was initially called out to effect water access to the victim. As darkness fell, they, along with the Coast Guard hovercraft team, helped light up the scene for the extrication effort and air ambulance. The victim was transported to Royal Columbian Hospital. For safety reasons, the firefighters and their equipment were then transported by hovercraft to White Rock pier.

Ravinder Binning has served two-thirds of his sentence

Release concerns family Sheila Reynolds Black Press

The family of a Surrey couple killed in a hit-and-run in 2008 is concerned over last week’s scheduled release of the convicted driver. Ravinder Singh Binning pleaded guilty and was sentenced in 2012 to 4½ years in jail (reduced to four with credit for time served) for the crash that killed Dilbag Badh, 61, and his 60-year-old wife, Bakhshish Badh, as well as severely injuring their two daughters.

The Bra Lady Is Coming to Town

Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra. Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in. Due to overwhelming response to the previous clinic, Barbara Chapman is coming to WHITE ROCK, THURS. NOVEMBER 27TH to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly. “Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.” Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes. She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra? • Do you overflow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running? If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

Family shares struggle of dealing with little-known disease

‘Butterfly’ child aims to shed light on EB Sarah Massah

Staff Reporter

s Brayden Mann shows off his room, the 11-year-old Surrey boy pulls out the drawers to the left of his bed. Instead of plush toys, Legos or board games, the large drawer is full of needles, gauze, bandages and other medical equipment. It’s been full of such paraphernalia for some time. When Brayden was almost a month old, his mother, Deep, discovered a tiny blister on his delicate skin. Not knowing what it was, she took her son to the doctor, and soon began a year-long journey to find out what what happening to her baby. Finally, after a slew of incorrect diagnoses, the family was told what was happening to Brayden, but the ❝No one really answer brought little relief. knows what Brayden was you’re going through, unless diagnosed with epidermolysis bullosa they’re going (EB) – a connectivethrough it, too.❞ tissue disease causing blisters in the skin and muscosal membranes. “I had never heard of it before,” Deep recalled, noting that 10 years ago there was even less information than is available now. According to DEBRA Canada – a non-profit organization focusing on EB awareness – EB is a result of a defect in the anchoring between the epidermis and dermis, resulting in friction and skin fragility. Often, children with EB are referred to as “butterfly children,” because the skin is said to be as fragile as butterfly wings. EB severity ranges from mild to lethal, and their blisters are often described as similar to second or third-degree burns. Brayden’s diagnosis falls under the dystrophic classification of EB – one of three – which is caused by genetic defects within a gene encoding the protein-type VII collagen. “It’s all preventative, there is no cure,” Deep said. “I remember having to be so delicate with him. You know, when you pick up your baby under their arms, I couldn’t do that, because it would cut him and his skin would start falling off.” Because of his condition, which Deep stresses is not contagious, Brayden has had to forgo many of his passions, including

Merely rubbing his feet across carpeted floor – which the Mann family has now removed from their home – could cause a blister or a cut. Brayden’s clothing has be carefully scrutinized because rough fabric can cut his skin. Even his bedding causes him discomfort. “He’ll wake up at night in pain, and there’s nothing we can do,” Deep said. Adding to the family’s stress is the ignorance on EB. At school last year, Deep explained, Brayden was bullied about his condition to the point that he began expressing thoughts of self-harm. “It ripped us up inside. To think that you could lose someone you love over

something someone could say… It just breaks your heart,” she said. Brayden’s brothers, Tajan, 14 and Askshay, 4, are both aware of the struggles Brayden deals with each day, and are both protective of him, father Terry noted. While the school’s then-principal was quick to act – along with Brayden’s special education assistant (SEA) – Deep said the same support is not in place anymore. Now, Deep said, steady cuts to Brayden’s time with his SEA have climbed to 50 to 60 per cent. And on Nov. 3, Brayden had no SEA support at all. Deep said she’s concerned the lack of understanding over her son’s condition – which includes treatment for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and anxiety – could put him in situations where he will

get hurt, especially during gym class where he has no additional support. Outside of school, Deep said Brayden is subjected to stares and comments, which he says hurt his feelings. “It makes me feel bad,” Brayden told Peace Arch News sitting with his mom and brothers for this interview. “It hurts me. I wish someone would find a way to make EB better.” For Deep – who has become an active member of DEBRA Canada – she prefers if people came up to her and asked her about Brayden, rather than assuming she has “burned my child or been a neglectful parent.” She and Brayden hope that by shining light on “the most painful disease you’ve never heard of ” that people will be more understanding when interacting with those who have EB. Last month, Deep’s close friends organized an EB fundraiser at Morgan’s Public House in South Surrey in order to raise muchneeded funds for research and EB projects, and to raise awareness. While Deep had reservations about how many people would turn out, the event was a sold-out success, with more than $3,500 raised for DEBRA Canada. “It was amazing,” Deep said. DEBRA Canada is also taking a page out of the ALS water-bucket challenge with their balloon-pop challenge, called #EBBalloonPop, where participants share a video or photo of themselves popping a balloon. “As part of daily wound care, EB patients often need to pop their blisters. In order to raise awareness, we are asking the community to have fun, be creative and pop a balloon in support of EB. They should nominate someone else to do the same,” Deep said. While Brayden’s life has become restricted due to his EB, both parents strive to create some normalcy for their son, who has a passion for cooking. Members of DEBRA also hold an annual party – either Christmas or Halloween – with the support of BC Children’s Hospital, where everyone can come together and make connections. “No one really knows what you’re going through, unless they’re going through it, too,” Deep said.

Team sits last in BCHL

Losses pile up for Eagles Nick Greenizan Black Press

The road was not kind to the Surrey Eagles last week, as the struggling BC Hockey League team lost all three of its game played away from South Surrey Arena, including a pair against the Prince George Spruce Kings. The three losses – which began Nov. 10 with a 6-1 loss to the Langley Rivermen – brought to 10 the Eagles’ losing streak, and sunk the Birds to the bottom of the BCHL standings with a 3-15-0-3 record. On Friday at the Prince George Coliseum, Surrey lost its ninth straight – by a 6-3 score – but through 40 minutes, it looked as though the visitors might actually bump the slump, but a poor third period was their undoing. The two teams were tied 2-2 after two period of play – Darius Davidson, with a first-period goal, and Chase McMurphy, with a second-period power-play marker, were the Eagles’ goal scorers – but in the third, the Spruce Kings exploded for four goals in slightly more than nine minutes. Adam Clements scored first, Justin Rai scored twice in 2:20, while Jake Lebrun added an empty-netter. Cole Plotnikoff – a Surrey resident and recent addition to the Eagles’ roster – scored the Eagles’ lone goal in the third. Kurt Russell, a call-up from the Junior ‘B’ Richmond Sockeyes, was the goaltender of record for the Eagles, stopping 24 of 29 shots. On Saturday, rookie Daniel Davidson got the start, stopping 20 of 25 shots. Surrey’s regular starter, Christian Short, is injured. Last week, Eagles’ head coach Blaine Neufeld said he expected the netminder to be sidelined for “three or four weeks.” In the meantime, the team will roll with the rookie tandem between the pipes, though both have struggled this season. Russell, in limited action, has a goals-against average of 6.28, and a save-percentage of .821, while Davidson’s numbers – a goals-against average of 6.44 and a save-percentage of .824 – are also below league average. The Eagles’ have given up 118 goals through 21 games – which is the worst mark in the league. Only the Coquitlam Express, who’ve given up 104 in 24 contests, have eclipsed the 100-goals-against mark at this point in the i see page 18

For the kids For the third year in a row, KidSport Surrey-White Rock’s Nite of Champions gala was held at Hazelmere Golf Club. The Nov. 12 event raised just over $100,000 – money which will help cover sports registration costs for young athletes who could not otherwise afford it. This year’s event was headlined by former Vancouver Canucks draft pick – and current country music star – Chad Brownlee (top, being interviewed by event MC Jim Hughson). Other highlights included performances from Earl Marriott Secondary’s drama students (right), who also interviewed former Canuck Jyrki Lumme (above).

CORRECTION NOTICE

Gymnastics BC honoured the province’s top athletes, coaches and volunteers at its annual awards banquet Oct. 25 in Burnaby, and two Surrey residents were among those recognized. Shallon Olsen was presented with the Kate Richardson Outstanding Female Athlete of the Year award in recognition of a season of successful results in major competitions. Olsen began her season in France, at the Massilia Cup where she finished fourth in vault final competing in a field which included 2014 world championship competitors Larisa Iordache and Alla Sosnitskaya. At the 2014 Elite Canada competition, Olsen was second in the Junior Women’s all around standings, and

won two gold and two silver medals in the apparatus finals. She qualified for three event finals at the 2014 Pacific Rim Gymnastics Championships, and won two medals – a silver on floor exercise and a bronze on vault. Her season concluded with a second-place finish at the Canadian championships. Carolyn Doherty was named Volunteer of the Year, earning an award that goes to “an individual who has demonstrated outstanding volunteer contributions on behalf of gymnastics in B.C.” The club president of Shasta Trampoline, Doherty created a training manual for the scorekeeping program and provided back-up support for volunteers at Shasta and other clubs.

Eagles play twice this week i from page 17 season. Surrey is also last in goals-for, with just 49. By contrast, the Spruce Kings – who sit first in the Mainland Division – have 79, and five BCHL teams have more than 90. In Saturday’s game, Darius Davidson again got the Eagles on the board first, scoring a power-play goal 3:53 into the game.

Brian Drapluk scored the Eagles’ other goal, at 3:02 of the third period, but it was all the visitors could muster against Spruce Kings’ starter Jesse Janks. The Eagles are back on the ice for two games this weekend – on Friday at the Langley Events Centre against the Rivermen, and Saturday night at South Surrey Arena against the Alberni Valley Bulldogs.

The myths and truths about chiropractic

h Surrey Chiro t u So Utilizing Spinal

I have been a practicing chiropractor for over 35 years now. I have been in the White Rock Region for 31 of these years. Over those years people often ask the same questions regarding chiropractic. Although a question not directly asked by patients coming into the office, a percentage of the general public asks “Does it work?” The flat out answer is of course, yes! Chiropractic as a profession has been around officially since 1895. The profession continues to grow and more and more patients are seeing chiropractors than ever before. The research in peer reviewed journals is overwhelming. Many studies have been done on all aspects of chiropractic with very good results. Chiropractors get good results with their techniques although results do vary from patient to patient. The safety of Chiropractic is another question the general public asks. Chiropractic is among the safest of the healing arts. Chiropractors are well trained professionals with at least 7 years of post high school education. Chiropractors are licensed and registered with the College of Chiropractors of B.C. Chiropractors are required to undertake education each year to maintain their license. Strict regulations are adhered to by the membership. Injuries from Chiropractic are very low. Is Chiropractic care expensive? Chiropractic is very cost effective care. Many British Columbians are covered by third party insurers. Some of these insurers pay 80-100% of the visit fees. Patients are also covered by WorkSafe B.C. and ICBC when involved in accidents.

How long is my chiropractic care going to take? This question of course varies from individual to individual and also is based on their clinical picture. Care can last anywhere from a few visits to several visits. It is different from person to person. Sometimes people do require some form of ongoing or maintenance care to provide stability to a particular condition. My ofﬁce is located in the Semiahmoo Professional Building in South Surrey.

UBC runner Jack Williams was named athlete of the week.

Burnaby Carter Chevrolet Buick GMC Cadillac 604-291-2266

Days after making school history, UBC Thunderbird runner Jack Williams was named male athlete of the week by the Association of Independent Institutions Conference (AII). At the AII menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cross-country championships â&#x20AC;&#x201C; held at Ashford University in Iowa â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Williams, a graduate of Semiahmoo Secondary, became the first-ever UBC Thunderbird runner to win an individual AII title. He completed the eight-km course in a time of 25 minutes, 20.3 seconds, to place first â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just over three seconds faster than Enrique Ramirez of California State Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;San Marcos. With the win, Williams â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who is in his senior year at the Point Grey campus â&#x20AC;&#x201C; helped UBC take second place in the team competition, just behind CSU-San Marcos. Next up for Williams and his teammates will be the NAIA Championships, set for Nov. 22 in Lawrence, Kansas. UBC head coach Marek Jedrezjek hoped the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance in Iowa â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which was hampered by injuries and a few â&#x20AC;&#x153;mid-race issuesâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; would spur them to an even greater showing at NAIA Championships. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team, as a whole, had some difficulty getting into a rhythm (at AII championships),â&#x20AC;? he said in a news release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we can get fully healthy, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be ready for our biggest race.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Nick Greenizan

OBITUARIES

APRIL 13, 1919 – NOVEMBER 12, 2014

After a long and full life, it is with much sadness but many happy memories, that the Bennett family advises that Norm passed peacefully away on November 12, 2014. Norm was predeceased by his wife and best friend of 62 years, Dorothy (Wagner) in 2009. He will be sadly missed by his four children: Joan (Wayne), Barbara (Dave) Parsons, Gordon (Lisa) and Nancy (Warren); his five grandchildren: Ainslie (Dylan)Parsons, Carrie (Travis) Burke, Cameron(Ellie) Heenan, Nancy and Cathy; and by his three great grandchildren: Theo, Willa and Alistair. Norm was born in County Durham, England April 13, 1919, and arrived in Canada by ship with his family in 1925. He was raised on a farm in Minnedosa, Manitoba. In 1941 he joined the RAF/ RCAF, serving in radar stations in India, until the end of WWII. Norm graduated from the University of Manitoba (Electrical Engineering) in 1950, and later from McMaster University (MBA). He began his career in the railway industry with General Motors in Winnipeg and London, working to replace steam engines with diesel locomotives. He worked for CN in Toronto and retired in 1981 from BC Railway, Vancouver as Chief Mechanical Officer. Norm then joined CIDA and the World Bank to help other countries build railroads. He spent 2 years in Bandung, Indonesia and from there he and Dorothy followed their passion for travel, exploring most parts of the world. Norm was a gentle, kind and loving man. His first priority was his family and he was fully supportive of their journeys through life. He and Dorothy also loved entertaining and playing bridge. He provided wonderful care for Dorothy in her final years, enabling her to stay in their home at Bishop’s Green, in South Surrey and to continue to enjoy a rich & rewarding life. His family will celebrate his life at a later date. Donations gratefully accepted in memory of Norm at the charity of your choice. He will be sadly missed.

Betty Reggin Betty passed away peacefully in Surrey, B.C. on Wednesday, November 12. She leaves behind her sons Donald Reggin (Linda) and Ian Reggin and daughters Christine Ness (Irvin) and Carol Firkus (Darcy) as well as 11 special grandchildren and 8 wonderful great grandchildren. She was predeceased by her beloved husband Os (May 17, 2004) and her daughter Janice (June 29, 2003) and her brother Roy Dickerson. Betty was born on May 24, 1927 in England where she lived and spent her childhood. Betty was a keen student, earning a scholarship at the age of 10. She went to work at Glaxo Laboratories at a young age and continued her education at night. During WWII, she met Osborne Reggin of the Canadian Air Force and they were married on February 23, 1946 in London. Os returned with his unit to Calgary and Betty followed a few months later with many other war brides. There they raised their five children and grew a very successful business. Despite the challenges of Calgary’s short growing season Betty cultivated her love of gardening. Betty had a strong faith and deep love for the Lord which led her to establish a Sunday school class for mentally challenged youth at First Baptist Church. The class grew in numbers and she continued as lead teacher for over 10 years. Retiring with Os to Nanaimo, B.C. in 1984, where the climate was more favorable, Betty and her garden flourished. Os and Betty also became active members of First Baptist Nanaimo. After the death of her husband she moved to South Surrey to be closer to family. She enjoyed living there until her passing. There will be a memorial service to celebrate her life at White Rock Baptist Church, 1657 - 140th Street, South Surrey, B.C. on Saturday, November 22nd at 2:00 pm. If desired, in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Kidney Foundation.
