Sound of gunfire heard early Saturday morning

Car riddled with bullets in White Rock Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Officers investigate after vehicle was found.

Early-morning gunfire prompted police to cordon off part of a hillside White Rock neighbourhood Saturday. Const. Shaileshni Molison on Monday said that no one was injured in the “shooting incident,” and the investigation is ongoing. Police were alerted to it by a report of a suspicious vehicle parked in the 15300-block

of Columbia Avenue. Officers who attended found a car “with several bullet holes,” Molison said. Area residents say they were woken between 2 and 4 a.m. Jan. 17 by what sounded like gunshots or firecrackers going off near Columbia Avenue and Centre Street. Later, police tape blocked Columbia Avenue east of Johnston Road, and officers with rifles could be seen patrolling near a vehicle

that appeared riddled with bullet holes. “Police had the street cordoned off totally,” neighbour Janice Smith, who did not hear the gunfire, told Peace Arch News. “A car had its windows shot out. It’s got eight bullet holes in it. You can see they’ve numbered them.” She said police at the scene offered no explanation, and that the targeted car could still be seen Sunday.

The family of a Surrey woman killed by a drunk driver nearly four years ago is struggling with the fact the driver was freed from jail Thursday after serving two years of her three-year sentence. Natasha Warren, driving while intoxicated, slammed into Kassandra Kaulius’ car in May 2011 and fled into some Kassandra Kaulius nearby bushes Victim before being arrested. Kaulius, 22, was killed instantly. Warren pleaded guilty to impaired driving causing death and failure to stop at an accident and was sentenced in December 2012 to three years prison, followed by a five-year driving ban. She has now received her statutory release – automatically granted to all offenders not serving life sentences after they’ve served two-thirds of their time. i see page 4

Seven arrested after discovery in apartment building’s underground parking

‘Mini meth lab’ found under complex Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Surrey RCMP’s drug unit, firefighters and the Mounties’ Clandestine Laboratory Enforcement and Response Team (CLEAR) descended on a South Surrey condominium complex, following a police incident early Friday in the 1800-block of Southmere Crescent. Health Canada representatives also attended, as investigators indicated a suspected “mini meth lab” was discovered in the underground parking area.

Crews cordoned off the area and restricted residents’ movements while the lab – in a twolitre pop bottle, described as “a one-pot system… highly volatile” – was carefully extracted. The threat was deemed all but eliminated after the bottle lid was removed that afternoon and the contents did not react. “It’s really an unimpressive meth lab to look at right now,” an officer with CLEAR told Peace Arch News after the operation was complete shortly after 3:30 p.m. “They are really explosive.”

In addition, they’re not often seen in Canada, he said. Samples from the bottle are to be analyzed to confirm the contents – results of which are not expected for “a couple months” – and a hazardous-waste company picked up the bottle and other items found at the scene. Police confirm seven people were arrested – two women and five men – in connection with the discovery, which was the subject of an ongoing investigation. i see page 4 Kintec White Rock

Illnesses, infections to blame, says spokesperson

Surrey ER congestion highest ever: memo Jeff Nagel Black Press

A staff-only memo is warning of “unprecedented site congestion” at Surrey Memorial Hospital. The Jan. 16 site alert calls it an “all hands on deck” situation as the hospital – located on 96 Avenue, east of King George Boulevard – grapples with multiple infection outbreaks, including c. difficile, influenza and other respiratory conditions. SMH is experiencing “the highest volumes ever of patients in Emergency needing admission without assigned beds,” the leaked memo says. Fraser Health public affairs director Ken Donohue said the worst day came Jan. 11 when about 470 patients came to emergency, compared to the high 300s. Donohue rejected suggestions that staff levels at the hospital are inadequate. “What we’re seeing are high patient numbers,” he said. “The acuity or the seriousness of the illness of many patients is a bit higher than normal and that means patients are requiring more care than normal.” He said there are high levels of the flu virus circulating in the community, with flu outbreaks in multiple residential care homes, and that’s one trigger causing higher than normal congestion. Donohue said extra staff have been brought in as required. One of the key challenges has been getting patients discharged from hospital. “Everybody in the hospital needs to work together to ensure patient flow is working,” Donohue said. “If patients no longer need

hospital care we need to do everything we can to ensure they transition to home or community care or residential care.” The memo says managers and directors are helping find solutions and an operations command centre has been set up to pursue new strategies. Donohue said residents can help by calling 811 to speak to a nurse before going to emergency in cases involving less serious illness to see if there are other options besides hospital. It’s not unusual for a hospital to be facing various infections, particularly during flu season. Donohue said the c. difficile outbreak in one medical unit is being countered with restricted transfer protocols and enhanced cleaning and infection-control procedures. An outbreak is declared any time there are three or more cases in a unit. C. difficile infects the intestines and can cause symptoms ranging from diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, fever and colitis and in some cases, result in death. According to a Fraser Health report card for Surrey Memorial, the hospital admitted only 34 per cent of incoming ER patients within 10 hours in 2014, well off a provincial government-set target of 55 per cent. SMH was notorious for congestion for years, leading to the construction of both the Jim Patttison Outpatient Hospital and a new $512-million ER and critical-care tower. The new ER opened in October 2013 but didn’t improve congestion as much as expected, in part because it’s believed patients who avoided SMH in the past were making it their first choice over other hospitals.

Transit referendum gets arguments from opposing side

‘No’ argument criticized by Hepner, Gill Jeff Nagel & Kevin Diakiw Black Press

The leader of the “no” campaign in the Metro Vancouver transit referendum has unveiled his own proposed solution to avoid a new 0.5-per-cent sales tax – but it’s not going over well on this side of the Fraser. Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation (CTF) B.C. director Jordan Bateman is instead calling on mayors to earmark 0.5 per cent a year of future municipal revenue to transportation projects. “Revenue growth among TransLink, Metro Vancouver and the 21 municipalities will clip along at 4.8 per cent a year over the next decade,” Bateman said. “That’s far more than inflation or any other level of government.” He argued redirecting 0.5 per cent of

municipal budget growth to transit, plus the same from TransLink and the regional district, would still leave cities ample spending room, while providing the extra $250 million for transit that would come from the proposed Congestion Improvement Tax. “We wouldn’t have to pay a new sales tax, and they’d still have a 4.3-per-cent windfall of new money to spend every year.” He argued the reallocation of money could be less if there are aggressive cuts at TransLink or if the mayors’ 10-year plan is stretched out to 12 or 15 years. He calls for exclusion from the plan of a new Pattullo Bridge, calling it an “attempt to hoodwink drivers” because the bridge replacement is to be built no matter the referendum outcome and funded with tolls.

“The Pattullo is a safety issue,” he said. “Replacing a 76-year-old bridge that may not stand up to an earthquake shouldn’t be a way to troll for a few votes to fund a fancy subway in Vancouver.” Bateman’s document also points to new Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner’s talk of finding other methods to build light rail in Surrey – if the referendum fails – as evidence more of the plan may still unfold without the new regional sales tax. He said a ‘no’ vote will not cause “carmageddon” but will force change on TransLink, noting cuts there should be the priority. Bateman released a 50-page analysis from an accountant backing his solution. Hepner said Bateman’s plan is off the mark. She said revenue from growth is used for

services such as police, fire and recreation centres. “Which of those services would they like us to cut?” Hepner asked. As one of the country’s fastest-growing municipalities, Surrey’s revenue from growth is 4.82 per cent, or $18 million annually. Coun. Tom Gill, chair of the city’s finance committee, said the plan is ill-conceived. “This is absolutely ridiculous,” he said. “Surrey’s three times the size of Vancouver and one-third of our land mass is in the ALR (Agricultural Land Reserve)… We have our own challenges.” Revenue from growth, he said, is used to pay for the costs related to growth. Mail-in ballots for the referendum go out in March and must be returned by May 29.

Effluent ‘won’t be emitted’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Tara Caine officially opened her second public-consultation storefront for potential medical-marijuana users in Five Corners last weekend.

Mostly positive reaction in White Rock, entrepreneur says

Medical-marijuana adviser opens shop Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

You could say she’s following in her father’s footsteps. Tara Caine – daughter of Hempyz Gifts & Novelties owner and marijuana proponent Randy Caine – opened her own White Rock storefront in Five Corners Saturday, but instead of a hempthemed retail store, the 35-year-old is working to provide public consultation and education for those who use medicinal marijuana. “We’re strictly advocates for people who want to incorporate (medicinal marijuana) as a part of their health,” Caine said last week, of the Releaf Compassion Center. “Once they walk through the doors, that’s the first step. Getting to know the information. Then they can choose whether they’ll continue on or whether they’ll go back and consult with a physician.” Caine is quick to note that Releaf Compassion Center is not a dispensary. Confusion as to what work Releaf does at the first location in Langley last June caused a bit of controversy. “Langley is a little more afraid I think, there is a lack of knowledge, stereotypes and things in the media,” she said. “They were a little hesitant and reserved.” However, Caine notes, the feedback in White Rock has been mostly positive, with many

The owner-operator of a galvanizing plant set for construction in South Surrey says residents need not be concerned about pollution associated with its operation. “Not at all,” Hugo Eppich said, of Ebco Metal Finishing LP’s plans to relocate from Richmond to the Semiahmoo Peninsula. “As far as I’m concerned… machine shops or other shops would emit more pollution than we have.” Area residents last week raised concerns about the operation’s pending arrival in Campbell Heights, on a site near 186 Street and 25 Avenue. According to City of Surrey officials, a bylaw regulating the site and allowing “light impact industry” was approved by council in November 2012 following a public hearing. The development permit for an approximately 2,980-squaremetre building plus storage yard was issued to Ebco last July. Sonja Kroecher, whose daughter attends nearby East Kensington Elementary, told Peace Arch News she felt residents should have had an opportunity to voice their opinion on the plant before it got the city’s OK. Organic farmer Carl Thielemann agreed, describing information that was shared by the city as “so misleading.” But Jean Lamontagne, the city’s manager of planning, said the public is only offered an opportunity for comment if a proposed project doesn’t fit the zoning. Eppich said his plant – which he said will be the largest of its kind west of Ontario – will not be releasing any effluent into the surrounding area, acid used will be reclaimed and smoke from the galvanizing kettle will be well-filtered. “We have to adhere to GVRD emission standards,” Eppich said. “We have quite strict rules.” Eppich said he hopes to have the plant operating this summer.

Police seize ‘multiple chemicals’ i from page 1 The first three were arrested prior to the execution of a search warrant. Four were arrested during the search, which took place shortly after midnight and continued until 3 a.m. All seven – between 22 and 37 years old – have since been released, and drug-related charges are pending. Investigation is ongoing. Surrey RCMP Cpl.

targeted by police has been a source of concern for residents for months, she said.

‘How does this deter anyone?’ i from page 1 Victor Kaulius, Kassandra’s father, says Warren’s freedom marks yet another difficult and emotional day for his family. “A lot of things are brought back,” he says. “Our main focus is the two-year sentence… it’s laughable. How does this deter anyone?” Warren drank a bottle-and-ahalf of wine before getting into her work van the night of the fatal collision. Kassandra was heading home from a softball game in Cloverdale and was waiting to make a turn when her BMW was struck by Warren at high speed at the corner of 152 Street and 64 Avenue. The Kauliuses acknowledge the sentence handed to Warren is

more than most impaired drivers who kill someone in Canada receive, but they still have a hard time knowing she’ll move on with her life, while Kassandra will not and the family is sentenced to a future without her. Victor Kaulius says he and his wife, Markita, continue to push for changes to Canada’s laws. They want to see a minimum five-year sentence for offenders who kill someone while driving impaired, as well as language amendments so the crime is called vehicular homicide/manslaughter (instead of impaired driving causing death.) Victor says he doesn’t wish Warren harm. “What’s happened, happened. It’s not going to bring Kassandra back.”

But he hopes Kassandra’s preventable death leads to change and helps save lives so no other family has to endure such loss. According to Parole Board of Canada documents, Warren must have no contact with the Kaulius family, is not to enter a bar or liquor store, cannot own or drive a car and can’t possess, purchase or drink alcohol. She was denied parole in late 2013 over concerns she might reoffend, but is now assessed at low risk to re-offend. The Kauliuses formed Families for Justice – which has a Facebook page – in 2011 to provide support for those whose loved ones have been killed by impaired drivers, and to advocate for changes to the Canadian justice system.

Vancouver and Surrey take charge going into transit-tax referendum

Metro mayors pick Hepner Jeff Nagel Black Press

Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson unseated North Vancouver District Mayor Richard Walton to take the chair of the TransLink mayors council in a vote Friday, as regional politicians head into a challenging transit-tax referendum campaign. A second election saw Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner picked over Delta Mayor Lois Jackson for the council’s vice-chair position. Both Robertson and Hepner pledged to fight hard for a ‘yes’ outcome in the plebiscite to create a 0.5 per cent regional sales tax, dubbed the Congestion Improvement Tax, to fund transit and transportation expansion. Both mayors also get seats on the TransLink board of directors. Serving on the TransLink board

Off target

ast Thursday, the 17,600 Target employees working for the company in Canada found out they will be losing their jobs. Target’s U.S. parent announced it planned to close all 133 stores, including ones at Central City in Surrey, Willowbrook Shopping Centre in Langley and Scottsdale Centre in Delta. The closure comes just two years after Target opened to great fanfare in Canada, after taking over Zellers stores and their leases. (One of a handful of exceptions was at Semiahmoo Shopping Centre in South Surrey, where a rebranded Zellers reopened and continued to operate until last summer.) In years to come, Target’s advance and retreat in Canada will likely be used as a classic textbook case study in business schools. The company had a good reputation in Canada before it opened a single store here, given that many border-town residents regularly shopped at U.S. Target stores. It decided to take over an existing chain that had a loyal core of shoppers, close down those stores and lay off all employees. It then completely renovated them, and opened a large number of stores all across the country, all at once. This is something that no other U.S. retailer who has made the trek north has done. Walmart took over the far smaller Woolco, but gradually rebranded their stores. Walmart gradually opened new stores and, in more recent years, added large grocery sections. Building-supply stores Home Depot and Lowe’s both entered the Canadian market gradually. Costco, too. By all accounts, all these companies have done well with their Canadian operations. By coming in more slowly, they learned the challenges of doing business here, including the higher costs of distributing to a smaller number of geographically separated stores. They also learned that Canadian shopping habits differ from U.S. ones, and have catered their offerings. Target got off to a bad start when its stores opened here. Inventory was spotty, amid persistent reports of empty shelves. Prices were considerably higher than at U.S. stores, which may have been understandable but was a cause of resentment by many formerly loyal Target customers. The Target stores will likely close over the next few months, and clearly this isn’t good news for the employees. At the same time, it shows that, in business, it is vital to have products that meet consumers’ needs, and to be able to execute a proven growth strategy. Companies who forget those fundamental lessons simply cannot stay in business.

a filter. They had been convinced to pay $2 for water in plastic bottles, and this somehow led to the conclusion that their tap water is only fit for washing clothes and driveways. Vaccinations? Don’t get me started. In the past year I have had an argument with a registered nurse at a blood-donor clinic, annoyed that the health ministry denied her imagined “right” to infect frail patients with influenza, and with a veteran politician who only recently overcame a vague taboo against putting vaccines in her body. It’s no wonder people constantly fall for enviro-scares like toxins from the Alberta oil sands that are actually concentrated in cities where all that fuel is burned, or the threat of genetically modified canola oil, or smart meters. The media are frequently part of the problem, lacking scientific literacy and preferring conflict over common sense. Take Vancouver (please). The mayor rose to fame with a company that sold overpriced imported tropical fruit juice in single-serving plastic bottles. Calling it “Happy Planet” convinced a new generation of urban rubes that they’re doing something for the environment. Plus, there are “no chemicals” in it, to cite the central myth of hippy science. At the risk of giving you too much information, I did a cleanse last year. It was for a screening colonoscopy, one of many that have taxed the B.C. health care system since a new test was added to the standard medical checkup. Try that one if you’re over 50.

Insults lead to injury

Give them bills and incentives

Editor: As I watched the news reports unfold regarding the attacks in Paris, I was saddened by our reaction to it. We seem to be missing the point. The issue here is not “freedom of expression” and “our right to defend it.” The issue here is arrogance. And both sides are equally guilty of it. Satire is a much-loved and defended method of ridicule and mockery aimed at any person, system or belief with which we disagree. It is the ‘civilized’ world’s equivalent to stoning. It reflects an “I-am-rightand-you-are-wrong” mentality. And it demonstrates that the human race has learned absolutely nothing in the past 2,015 years. Do we think that an attack is an attack only when it is physical? That it only counts if a life is lost? I, too, am a supporter of free expression and our right to disagree, and to do so loudly in our push for change, but surely we can do that without mockery or ridicule. “I don’t agree with you” does not have to reek of judgment. It does not have to say, “You are an idiot.” Murder always sparks outrage, and so it should. Taking the life of another, no matter how justified we think we are, is the greatest crime against the ‘whole’ – a direct violation of the laws of the universe. Anger, judgment, hate and fear lock all participants into a selfdestructive cage of action-reaction from which there is no escape unless and until one side lays down its sword with love and forgiveness for an “opponent” who is just as confused and misguided as we are. Even an abuser is abused when his abuse is allowed to continue, for then what has he learned? We have a right and an obligation under highest moral law to stop aggression on the person of another or on ourselves. However, if and when we truly believe that we must take a life to defend a life, it would be wise to examine our motives most carefully beforehand. Are we coming from a place of love for the ‘whole’, or are we coming from a place of judgment and fear? Killing can never be justified as a means of expressing anger, releasing hostility, “righting a wrong” or punishing an offender. An attack is an attack is an attack. By thought. By word. By cartoon. By bullet. And unless we are willing to give up our attack thoughts and subsequent actions, another 2,015 years will go by and the human race will still be stuck in the same place it always has been. Spinning our wheels in the ever popular “it’s-not-me-it’s-you” hypocrisy which has served us so well up to now. Of course, we’ll probably blow ourselves up long before that. “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.” – Luke 23:34 Maureen Kerr, Surrey

Editor: A question on the evening news… Should parents be financially responsible for vandalized damages caused by their kids? While this discussion has come up many times in the past, I’m surprised that anyone found guilty and charged with a crime – regardless of who they are – is not held financially responsible for all damages caused by their actions, including police cost, court cost, room and board while detained, etc. Why should we as victims suffer the damage, inconvenience, aggravation and the expense of repairs, along with higher insurance rates or higher tax rates while the individuals creating this damage walk free ? Now, you may be thinking, these vandals or criminals don’t have the money to pay for anything, much less added fines, which will just lead to further crime. A workable solution might be a “forgiveness program” – administered kind of like a studentloan but better. For example, let’s say an individual has created a $40,000 damages tab; that tab stays with this individual until certain conditions are met: 1. They pay it off in full, over time. 2. We forgive 33 per cent for each year they stay clean, provided there are no further incidents. 3. After three years, they’re completely free and clear. However, if at any time they step out-of-line,

the previously forgiven amount is added back on, along with all cost associated with the new charges. Each year, all cities and municipalities struggle to balance budgets and financial demands. Isn’t it time we transfer the cost for this type of behaviour to the parties involved? Or better yet, we forgive them for good behaviour? If these individuals stay clean for a year, odds are good they’ll stay clean for the entire three years. If they make it to the three-year forgiveness period, they’ve likely changed their ways and are now on the road to becoming good, responsible citizens. That’s the intent, anyway. Joe Klampfer, Surrey

Surrey should be cash rich Editor: It’s nice to see, at long last, tax increases are becoming a news topic in Surrey. Apparently all of us need reminding, as not even our new mayor – and longtime councillor – was aware of the bills that were coming in while she was campaigning a few months ago. Surprise indeed. I’ve lived in Surrey since 2000. Canadian inflation from 2000 to 2014 is about 30 per cent; my land taxes over that time are up 85 per cent, and utility charges even more. I can kind of accept the utility increases, but I really scratch my head at the land taxes going up almost three times the inflation rate, when I don’t see any changes in the

services nor improvement in the lifestyle that Surrey provides me. Like Mayor Linda Hepner, I too was surprised at the need for yetanother-tax-increase. Bar one slate during the last municipal election, no one had controlling spending in Surrey as a platform issue. And so we all end up, well, ‘surprised.’ Given the vast number of people who have moved to Surrey in the last 10 years, and the increase in tax revenue this represents – and real-estate taxes increasing at triple the rate of inflation – Surrey should be awash in money. Instead, we are told Surrey needs more. But maybe it’s not a case of needing more. Maybe, as reported in our local papers, and more recently by 24 Hrs Vancouver columnist Kathryn Marshall, maybe Surrey council has a spending problem. Enough of the surprises, increases of three times the inflation rate, and then telling us ‘but wait, there’s more.’ They sound more like a latenight infomercial than our elected officials being mindful where the money for their budgets comes from. Our pockets. I doubt very few of us are seeing our incomes increase at three times the rate of inflation. A little concern for the people who fund the decisions of municipal council would be appreciated. As would a commitment that ‘surprises’ would be dealt with by economizing, and not directing me to give you more. If money must be spent, maybe an audit on municipal spending with the report made public would be good value. Our $150 million new city hall would be a good place to start. A.L. Hills, Surrey

The mayor of White Rock’s efforts to relocate trains from the area is appreciated by others, writes Susan Potzold.

City must keep on top of trains Editor: Re: Mayors start 2015 by setting the bar high, Jan. 6. It is with heartfelt joy that I say, “Thank you, Mayor Wayne Baldwin” for keeping rail relocation on your agenda for 2015. The fact that you put it as your number-one priority gives those of us who have worked so hard to try to make White Rock and its beaches safer for all those who live and visit here very hopeful. With continued news of derailments we certainly

expect that all levels of government will rally around the City of White Rock and Crescent Beach to fix this problem before we have the kind of name recognition associated with Lac Mégantic. You know there are many of us ready to answer the call for help on this big job; heck, you know many of us are still working behind the scenes to make this move happen as soon as possible. And we are so grateful to have you as the leader for this most imperative safety move. Susan Potzold, White Rock

School evacuation

Students at Semiahmoo Secondary evacuate Wednesday after a suspected gas leak. According to the school district spokesman, the precaution was taken and firefighters investigated after someone reported smelling gas just after 2 p.m. Students were sent outside to fields on either side of the high school, which is located in the 1800-block of 148 Street, but were allowed back in just before 3 p.m.

bout a year ago, Cloverdale resident Robin Battley was looking for a place to meet new people who shared her interest in wood carving. After researching carving groups throughout Surrey, she came across the Cloverdale Carvers’ Club, a small group of dedicated wood artists who get together Tuesday evenings at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary. Working with computers all day, Battley felt much of her work was not tangible and had a finish line that seemed to be forever

Some carvers will use paint to add colour to their designs, while others choose to leave the wood in its natural state. Experience or equipment are not pre-requisites to become a member of the Cloverdale club, and many newcomers spend the first few nights just watching and learning the basics.

Nearly 300 people attended last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ignite a Dream event at Semiahmoo Shopping Centre.

Surrey firefightersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tasting event eases teensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; post-secondary costs

A burning desire to help Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Surrey firefighters are keeping the flame of a successful fundraiser lit, with a return next month of their Ignite a Dream event to Semiahmoo Shopping Centre. Launched last year as a means of generating funds to provide educational awards to Surrey students who may otherwise miss out on post-secondary opportunities, the wine, craft-beer and culinary tasting affair is set for 7-10 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 21. Last year, nearly 300 attendees were able to sample the offerings of about 20 restaurants and more than 50 vintners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were very happy, we got a great responseâ&#x20AC;Ś really positive feedback from everyone who

attended,â&#x20AC;? said Kevin Coplin, an organizer with Surrey Fire Firefightersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Charitable Society. Funds raised â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â about $20,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; translated into $3,000 awards presented last May to five secondary students, including Semiahmoo Secondaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Leeza Robertson. Robertson said at the time that the funds would help her pursue her dream of becoming a nurse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am paying for it all myself, so to have $3,000 towards my education is so reassuring,â&#x20AC;? she told Peace Arch News. Coplin, who has been a firefighter for nine years, said the societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to continue presenting the awards to at least five students annually, and hopefully raise enough to bump up the value. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was kind of the vision

behind it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough for a lot of the kids who are wanting to do post-secondary education and getting $500 here, or $1,000 there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to have something more substantial.â&#x20AC;? Coplin said the target recipients are students who â&#x20AC;&#x153;maybe fall through the cracks that are still very positive contributors to the communityâ&#x20AC;Ś still have big dreams that they want to pursue.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully in the future, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to come back as professionals and help out themselves.â&#x20AC;? Tickets to Ignite a Dream are on sale now, $60 each or two for $100, and are available both online at www.surreyfirefighters. com/ignite and at the customer service desk in Semiahmoo Shopping Centre, 1701 152 St.

Al Cleaver Park in Surrey is named after the man who did much to preserve the city’s heritage. continued to lobby for phase two – a commitment he stuck with until his dying day. The original project was scaled back on the understanding a second phase would follow within 10 years. But in 2011, the society asked the city to return more than $200,000 plus interest from a $450,000 reserve fund. With the money, Cleaver and the society launched an endowment and a sponsorship

program offering free admission to the museum. Earlier this month, Cleaver seemed brightened by some promising news from Surrey City Hall on phase two from fellow “Friends of the Museum,” society vice-chair Ursula Maxwell-Lewis said. Cleaver was a past president of the Cloverdale Rodeo and Exhibition Association, had chaired the Surrey Heritage Advisory Committee and the

Heritage Services Community Advisory Board, and was a member of the Surrey Tourism Association. He hosted heritage week bus tours, worked on heritage commissions, and helped Surrey Professional Pioneer Fire Fighters Society raise money for a firefighter’s history gallery in the Surrey Museum. Al Cleaver Park in North Surrey – 11870 River Rd. – is named after him.

On Jan. 15, the Surrey Fire Fighters’ Association announced the passing of the 2010 Surrey Civic Treasure “with deepest regrets and heavy hearts.” Cleaver, who retired as Surrey Fire Chief in 1986 after serving 28 years, was also the Surrey Fire Service’s first training officer.

His nomination was put forward by the Friends of the Surrey Museum and Archives Society, Surrey Heritage Advisory Commission, Surrey Historical Society and Surrey Professional Fire Fighters’ Pioneer Association.

It takes a village to keep children active These days, keeping a child healthy and active – as opposed to parked in front of a screen of some sort, be it a cellphone, television or table – can be a difficult task, especially for busy parents.

In 2014, $109,538 was raised and 471 youngsters from Surrey and White Rock were assisted through the program, and were able to play dozens of sports, from soccer and baseball, to martial arts and bowling.

According to the Childhood Obesity Foundation, in Canada more than 30 per cent of children and youth are considered overweight or obese.

“It’s been so meaningful for us to see so many people embrace the KidSport concept,” KidSport Surrey-White Rock president Ronnie Paterson said at the 2014 Nite of Champions event last November.

One way to counteract this rising obesity rate and encourage an active lifestyle amongst young people, is to enrol children into organized sports.

A former hockey goaltender with the Canadian national program, Paterson added that the support from the community has been a large factor in local group’s success over the last few years.

However, many sports are increasingly expensive and come with a hefty price tag for things such as equipment, road trips and registration.

“It’s a charity that everyone has really come together to support,” he said.

The national not-for-profit organization KidSport – which has a Surrey-White Rock branch right here on the Semiahmoo Peninsula – provides support and resources to remove financial barriers that prevent children from playing organized sports. The local chapter, which hosts an annual Nite of Champions gala in the community, provides financial assistance for would-be athletes aged 18 and under,

The Nite of Champions is the organization’s biggest fundraiser, bringing in just over $100,00 in 2014. In 2013, the event raised $95,000 and in 2012, the gala raised about $85,000. helping to cover registration fees – and sometimes equipment costs – that would otherwise keep them on the sidelines.

Not only is curling a great way to stay active, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a great way to meet new people, Bird said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You get some physical activity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out there moving around a lot â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great, but whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s equally important is the social side of things,â&#x20AC;? he explained.

The sport is a popular one on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. And though the Peace Arch Curling Club is already in the midst of its season, there still exist plenty of opportunities for new players. The club routinely hosts clinics and PACC holds drop-in sessions at the curling centre on Saturdays when bonspiels are not scheduled.

Search assistance for alternate solutions Modern medicine has certainly proven its worth throughout history, but for those preferring to draw more on the body’s own powers of healing, naturopathic medicine is a popular alternative. According to the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors (CAND), taking charge of their own health is a path that more and more people are taking, leading to an increased demand for the services.

changes, with treatments ranging from hydrotherapy and acupuncture to the use of botanical medicine. According to CAND, “the naturopathic philosophy is to stimulate the healing power of the body and to treat the root cause of disease.” Typically, three kinds of patients seek such care: those looking for disease prevention and health promotion strategies; those with symptoms others have been unable to diagnose; and those with a diagnosed illness looking for alternative treatments.

Currently, there are nearly 2,000 naturopathic doctors in Canada, and five provinces – including B.C. – that regulate the practice. Close to home, there are 24 naturopathic doctors listed by the association as operating in Surrey, and another four in White Rock.

Examples of basic health tips are also offered on CAND’s website, and include: avoid sugar, stimulants and processed food in times of stress; relieve sore or tight muscles in a hot bath with Epsom salts; and improve sleep by avoiding stimulants such as coffee and tea after 11 a.m.

Used for both acute and chronic conditions, naturopathic therapies can include diet and lifestyle

There is continuing controversy in North America about the presence in our foods of GMOs (genetically modified organisms) – defined as living organisms whose genetic material has been manipulated through genetic engineering.

How can you tell if foods contain GMOs? If corn or soy is listed among its ingredients, it almost certainly contains GMOs.

It’s calculated that up to 80 per cent of the foods consumed in North America – by those who don’t seek organic or non-GMO alternatives – contain GMOs.

Other GMO-likely crops include alfalfa, canola, papaya, sugar beets, zucchini and yellow summer squash.

GMO advocates say ingredients grown using GMO technology require fewer pesticides, less water and keep production costs down, important in helping feed the hungry and malnourished in developing nations around the world. And, regulatory agencies have found no negative health effects associated with the ingredients, they say.

GMO is also in such derived ingredients as ‘natural’ and ‘artificial’ flavours, aspartame, citric acid, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, monosodium glutamate, xanthan gum and yeast products. For more information on foods likely and not likely to contain GMOs, visit www.nongmoproject.org

Clearing the air on quitting smoking By now, it should be no secret that – as the Canadian Lung Association suggests – giving up smoking is “the single best thing you can do to improve your health and quality of life.” The association points to the fact that non-smokers have much less risk of contracting diseases such as lung cancer and heart disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which can include emphysema and chronic bronchitis.

A crucial first step to success is to explore whether you are truly ready to quit. It’s also important to be aware of habits and triggers. On your chosen quit day you should: • Stop smoking altogether, don’t cut back by degrees.

It’s clear, also, that improving your health and quality of life results in a marked improvement for family and other loved ones around you, and not only in the absence of second-hand smoke.

• Get rid of all cigarettes and tobacco products and ashtrays. • Change your usual routine and avoid people and situations that will provide a temptation to smoke.

But quitting is easier said than done, the association recognizes – the nicotine in cigarettes and tobacco is an addictive drug. And, as with stopping any drug use, there are withdrawal symptoms – a phase that can last up to four weeks. The good news is that it does pass. For those wanting to quit the habit, the most effective way, the association suggests, is to have a plan and proper support. That includes picking a date

(avoiding days, including holidays, in which you are likely to be under greater stress), talking to a smoke cessation counsellor and exploring the available options in nicotine replacement therapy and medications.

• Go for a walk instead of a smoke. • Stay positive. Believe in your plan. • Take it one day at a time. Remember that slipping up is no reason to give up. • Take full advantage of support groups, counselling and quit phone lines. • Celebrate your success and give yourself credit for it.

Steps to staying fungus free It’s not likely that the issue of toenail fungus comes up often in your day-today life, but for those suffering from it, it can be irritating nonetheless. Nail fungus is a common condition that begins as a white or yellowish spot under the tip of your nail, and as the fungal infection worsens, it may cause your nail to discolour, thicken and crumble at its edge. For some, the issue is minor, and treatment is not necessary. But for others, it is important to treat the issue early, lest it gets worse. There are a variety of medication options which can be prescribed by your doctor – including topical creams, which requires application multiple times each day, and is slow but effective. As well, oral medications are also commonly used in some cases.

As well, antifungal lacquer – which is applied to the nail like polish, but requires a prescription – is sometimes used to combat these infections. There are plenty of other steps you can take, as well, to fight infection. For starters, allow air to reach the infected toe as much as possible, and steer clear of wearing wet or moist socks and shoes, which can breed fungal growth. Also, where possible, avoid wearing tight shoes, and dry your feet thoroughly after getting wet.

Wildcats repeat as RCMP Classic champs

Tamanawis weathers Storm in final Rick Kupchuk Sports Reporter

The smallest school from South Surrey almost climbed to the top of senior boys high school basketball in this city. But in the championship game of the Surrey RCMP Classic, the Southridge Storm fell 73-65 to the defending champion Tamanawis Wildcats before 450 fans Saturday night at Enver Creek Secondary. “It was tough, I think we had opportunities to pull it out,” said Southridge head coach Steve Anderson. “But in the end, Tamanawis did a good job and hit buckets when they needed to.” The runner-up finish was the best-ever placing by the Storm, currently ranked No. 1 in a provincial poll of senior double-A teams. The best previous result by Southridge was a third-place finish in 2009, one of just three topfive placings in the 24-year history of the tournament. Tamanawis is two tiers higher, listed as an honourable mention in the 4A category, but was given a very tough test Saturday night. “It was a tough game,” said Wildcats coach Doug MacKenzie. “They’re a very disciplined team, they just run their set and they don’t make mistakes. Our guys really had to compose themselves to get some big stops and run our offence.” The championship game was deadlocked 35-35 at halftime, and although the Storm took a brief five-point lead early in the second half, the Wildcats surged to a 58-50 advantage with seven minutes to go. The momentum swung in favour of Southridge for the next five minutes, starting when Dominic Clayton hit a three-pointer

and Hunter Hughes followed up seconds later with an easy layup after a steal. Sam Chan of the Storm then went to the foul line, was successful on his first attempt, then missed the second. But Hughes out-jumped everyone to put back the rebound and pull Southridge into a 58-58 tie. Hughes added another field goal with just under two minutes to play for a 61-60 Storm lead, but it was all Wildcats over the final 100 seconds. Grade 9 point guard Miguel Tomley hit a three-point shot from the top of the arc to put Tamanawis in the lead at 63-61, and the Wildcats went six-of-10 from the free-throw line in the final minute to stay in front. Despite the loss, Hughes was recognized for his huge performance in the final, earning the tournament’s Most Valuable Player award. The six-foot-seven Grade 11 forward scored 32 points, dominated the boards with 23 rebounds and was a force defensively with five blocks. “He’s a fabulous player,” said Anderson. “He can finish it under the basket, grab a rebound. I tell you, we basically rode his back down the stretch and he helped us get to this position. It was wonderful that they acknowledged his play although we didn’t win the tournament.” Hughes became the fifth player from a team which lost in the championship game to win the MVP award. Ravi Athwal of the Enver Creek Cougars was the most recent MVP from the losing team, winning the honour in 2006. Tomley, the player of the game for the Wildcats, was another impressive young player in the tournament. The Grade 9 point i see page 20

The myths and truths about chiropractic

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.

We are sad to announce the passing of our beloved mother Norma Grace McGuire on January 8th 2015. She was 91. As well as being an inspirational parent, she was an artist, genealogist, author, craftsperson, seamstress, activist, photographer, computer enthusiast, knitter, and quilter. Despite those many activities, the majority of her life was devoted to serving and caring for her family. And despite all of her accomplishments, there was nothing she was more proud of than her husband and her three boys and their families. For all of her tenacity, curiosity, and sense of justice there was nothing that motivated her more than love. Norma was predeceased by her husband Harry McGuire, and son Danny and is survived by son Ra (Debbie), son Gary (Terri), and daughter-in-law Jean. Mom had 6 beloved grandchildren; Tyler, Chelsea, Connor, Riley, Katie and Megan, and 2 beloved great grandchildren Jessica and Ariya. She will be sorely missed by all who knew her. A service will be held at 2:30pm, Sunday Jan. 25th in the Chapel at Evergreen Heights - 1501 Everall Street, White Rock BC

Anne passed away peacefully on January 13, 2015 surrounded by her loving family. She fought a courageous battle against lymphoma, strong until the end. Anne is survived by Sze-Yin and their four children, Mark, David (Ryan), Catherine, and Jillian, her mother Aleen, sister Karen (John) and extended family. Anne will be joining her sister Joyce and her father Walter “Wally”. She was a strong and loving mother and will be dearly missed.

Anne made South Surrey her home for nearly 30 years. She loved to cross stitch and through her stitching made many friends. Thank you to those who gave support and love during Anne’s fight against cancer. Special thanks to the staff at the BC Cancer Agency, Peace Arch Emergency and 6N, and Peace Arch Hospice for their excellent care and support. A private family viewing and cremation will be held with a celebration of life at a later date. In lieu of flowers, a donation of blood, the gift of life and hope, would be greatly appreciated.
