Explosive Disposal Unit detonates one live bomb in rural shed, one dud near gas station
Two pipe-bomb scares one day apart Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Reports of suspected pipe bombs brought officers with the Mounties’ Explosive Disposal Unit to South Surrey twice last week – once to a rural property and once to a gas station. Police confirmed Thursday that one of the two turned out to be the real thing. The first device was discovered by a worker at about 1:45 p.m. Tuesday, in a shed in the
18300-block of 24 Avenue. The worker was part of a team working with the RCMP’s Neighbourhood Liaison Unit and a property representative to tidy up the unoccupied site. He “found a container, opened the container and noted an item that looked like a pipe bomb,” Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said. EDU officers determined it was live, and used a remote-control robot to detonate it – an explosion that one area resident says
took him by surprise. “I was sitting in the living room reading my paper, and kabang! I was surprised the whole house didn’t come down,” said the resident, who didn’t want to be identified. The man was frustrated that residents had not been forewarned of the blast – “somebody could have been killed here” – but Paquet said the notice wasn’t deemed necessary. i see page 2

Bank robbery ‘traumatic’ for employees
Suspect not quite a master of disguise White Rock RCMP are asking the public to help identify a man who robbed the HSBC Bank on Wednesday afternoon. According to police, the robbery occurred at 1493 Johnston Rd. around 4:40 p.m., when a man wearing a black toque and a fake beard walked in and demanded money from a teller, stating he had a gun. No weapon was produced, and the man fled on foot after receiving a sum of cash. The man – whose image was captured clearly by surveillance cameras – is described as a
five-foot-11 Caucasian. He was also wearing a brown hooded jacket and black athletic pants with a light-coloured stripe down the legs. Const. Shaileshni Molison described the disguise as “quite blatant” and said the robbery was “traumatic” for the bank staff. Investigation is ongoing and, as of Monday, police were pursuing “a few” tips, she said. Anyone with further information on the robbery is asked to call police at 778-593-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. – Tracy Holmes

BORDER GOLD CORP.
The number of Canadians heading south into the U.S. at Lower Mainland crossings was down sharply in December even before the latest plunge in the loonie took another bite out of B.C. residents’ purchasing power across the border. Canada Border Services Agency data shows the five crossings from Tsawwassen to Abbotsford recorded 19.6 per cent fewer trips south by Canadians last month compared to a year earlier, when the Canadian dollar was still worth 94 cents U.S. Looking back two years, southbound Canadian traffic is down 28 per cent from December 2012, when the loonie was above par. It closed Friday at 80.7 cents U.S. The declines vary depending on location, but the drops were steepest at the Abbotsford-Huntingdon border crossing, which saw a drop for the month of nearly 30,000 Canadian trips or 24.7 per cent, and at the Douglas (Peace Arch) crossing, where the decrease was 71,500 trips, or 24.4 per cent. Add in similar declines at other crossings – 14.9 per cent at Pacific Highway, 15.6 per cent at Boundi see page 4

Device ‘had been there years’ i from page 1 “The size of the item did not justify a mass evacuation,” he said. “It was so small, we knew it was going to make a bang and cause some vibration, but the EDU officer was confident… safety was not an issue.” Paquet added the device “looked like it had been there for years.” A subsequent search of the property and other buildings by the EDU and a police dog team did not locate anything else of concern. Safety was a bigger concern Wednesday, when a suspected pipe bomb – a piece of pipe with wires sticking out of it – was found beside a Petro-Canada gas station at 152 Street and King George Boulevard just before 8 p.m. “We recognized it to be something similar to what a pipe bomb looks like and immediately the store and surrounding area were evacuated,” Paquet said.
White Rock
The gas station was cordoned off with police tape, and the southbound lanes on King George east of 152 Street were closed to traffic until the situation was resolved. A remote-control robot – also equipped with a water cannon – was again used to trigger a detonation, only this time the device was a dud. “We were able to confirm it was not an explosive device,” Paquet said, noting it is unclear how long the item had been there. Investigators are reviewing video surveillance to try to identify who left it and why. “It seems suspicious at the very least,” he said, noting police are not aware of threats. It’s “not something we see very often around here, but definitely something we take seriously.” Anyone with information on either incident may contact police at 604-599-0502.

Record number of drivers affected over uncollected Port Mann Bridge fees
ICBC blocks licences over unpaid tolls Jeff Nagel Black Press
Thousands of B.C. drivers are being frozen out of driver’s licence or car-insurance renewals because they refused or neglected to pay bridge tolls. ICBC acts as the enforcement mechanism and it currently has refuse-to-issue notices on file against 25,000 drivers for failing to pay their Port Mann Bridge tolls and 17,000 for unpaid tolls on the Golden Ears Bridge. By comparison, ICBC is also blocking 9,300 parents for failing to make child-support payments and 4,100 TransLink fare evaders who haven’t paid their tickets. The 25,000 drivers barred by ICBC for Port Mann tolls is an all-time high and has been as
low as 10,000 at other times, according to the Transportation Investment Corporation (TI Corp.) that manages the bridge. Maple Ridge motorcyclist Stacey (Stella) Murdoch argues it’s too heavy-handed for ICBC to deny people the ability to drive without any option to gradually repay the debt over time. “When you do that to somebody you limit what they can do,” she said. “People get into these situations but we have to give them a way to get out.” Murdoch started the Facebook page “Golden Ears Bridge Toll Nightmares” after her husband was blocked from renewing insurance until he paid $8,000 in bridge tolls, some of which he believed were charged in error. They rarely cross the bridge now because
neither work in Langley anymore. The couple is also selling their Maple Ridge house, after which they’ll pay off the outstanding tolls. Murdoch said she’s surprised by how many other people are in the same plight. “I bet there are a lot of people out there driving around without driver’s licences.” She argues the tolls unfairly hit people who live near the two bridges and work on the other side of the Fraser River. “I’m not saying bridges shouldn’t be tolled. But why are people in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows specifically being straddled with this bill?” she asked. “Everybody in the Lower Mainland should be tolled on every single bridge.” TI Corp. spokesman Greg Johnson insists the system to enforce toll payment is fair.
He said the “vast majority” of Port Mann bridge users pay their tolls on time, many of them by automatic pre-authorized payment through their TReO bridge-tolling account. A refuse-to-issue notice goes to ICBC only if a driver owes more than $25 and is 90 days overdue. “Drivers receive at least three notifications requesting payment before being designated refuse-to-issue,” he said. Johnson said 80 to 85 per cent of users pay after being notified and most owe relatively small amounts of less than $100. Interest charges of 1.5 per cent a month (19 per cent annually) are added to unpaid Port Mann tolls. TransLink adds two per cent interest a month to unpaid Golden Ears Bridge tolls.
Multiple wounds
Shot teen drives self to hospital A 17-year-old is in stable condition after he suffered multiple gunshot wounds Sunday night and apparently drove himself to hospital. Surrey RCMP say they received reports of shots fired in the 13000block of 73 Avenue after 10 p.m. While officers found several bullet casings at the scene, they were initially unable to locate a victim. About 15 minutes later, police were informed a teen with several gunshot wounds had driven himself to Surrey Memorial Hospital. As of the next day, he was listed in serious but stable condition and had spoken briefly with investigators. Police say initial indications are that the shooting was targeted. A dark van with a smashed-out passenger-side window and blood on the driver’s seat was seen being towed from SMH. Investigators say they’re still trying to piece together exactly what happened and whether there was anyone else in the vehicle at the time of the shooting. No arrests have been made. – Sheila Reynolds

Tips received after abduction attempt Police investigating a Jan. 16 reported abduction attempt at White Rock Elementary say “a lot” of tips have been received. However, Const. Shaileshni Molison said Monday she did not have any new information “that we’re able to share right now.” Police and school officials alerted to the incident four days later were told it occurred around 3:30 p.m. in the playground of the 1273 Fir St. school, and targeted a nineyear-old girl. A school letter to parents states a man approached the girl and “asked her to come with him to his car for some treats.” Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 778-593-3600. – Tracy Holmes
Marijuana stores have been sprouting up all over Washington State since retail trade in the drug was legalized in a referendum, but the first one has now opened within walking distance of the B.C. border. Evergreen Cannabis is aimed squarely at the Canadian market and its Blaine storefront at 922 Peace Portal Dr. – with a sign that reads “recreational marijuana store” – is within sight of both the Peace Arch and White Rock. “I know I am controversial because I am close to the border,” owner Jake Lamont, a Birch Bay resident, told Black Press last week. To the U.S. border guards stationed just to the north, marijuana remains an illegal drug under federal law, even though it’s been more than two years since the state voted to legalize possession by adults of up to an ounce and license a network of growers and retailers. “I don’t worry about it any more,” said Lamont, who expects the Washington and Colorado legalization experiment will be replicated across the U.S. But he warns his Canadian customers to be careful – bringing marijuana back to B.C. can

The owner of a Burnaby-based importing company was among travellers penalized recently for flouting the rules around bringing products into Canada. According to the Canada Border Services Agency, Manuel De Oliveira, the owner of Beira Mar Importers Company Ltd., was fined $25,000 last month after pleading guilty to evading duties and importing dairy products – specifically cheese – without an import declaration. Two shipments – one with 235 undeclared boxes of cheese and another with 198 – were intercepted at the Pacific Highway border in South Surrey. Oliveira, according to the related B.C. Supreme Court judgment, was found to have violated the rules on 10 occasions between Jan. 1, 2005 and Jan. 16, 2010. He “imported cheese and either failed to report it entirely and had no permit or import declaration, or underreported the amount of cheese contained in a shipment,” states the reasons for judgment. The unreported cheese alone weighed 12,899 kilograms and was worth more than US$130,000. Underreported shipments added another 5,825

Both of the shipments intercepted at the South Surrey border were reported as containing only grapes or grape juice, and in 2008, CBSA assessed De Oliveira a $7,625 fine – equal to 20 per cent of the undeclared value. Crown calculated the total duty evaded over the five-year period at $461,917.65. “At the time Mr. De Oliveira committed these offences, he was voluntarily participating in a system to protect the Canadian cheese industry and, by flouting it, he unfairly competed with people who followed the rules,” the judgment states. “He also removed the ability of health
inspectors to ensure the cheese he was importing met health standards.” According to the judgment, Oliveira was several days into a 20-day trial when he entered guilty pleas to the two counts. His case was highlighted by the CBSA Friday as a reminder of the potential consequences of failing to declare food, plant or animal products. Travellers were also reminded that a ban on all birds, raw poultry and poultry by-products that are not fully cooked, including raw eggs and raw pet foods, that was put in place Jan. 8 for products from Oregon and Washington State, remains in effect.

Cooling off for sake of athletes
A
t first glance, the idea to ban parents from local hockey rinks may sound ridiculous. But the idea was floated last week when a Vancouver Island minor-hockey association announced they were considering banning people from the stands for an entire weekend, as a way to send a message to incorrigible parents and others who frequently squawk at, and berate, referees, coaches and players. On second glance, it may just be a good idea. Because throughout the province – and no doubt elsewhere – there does seem to be a problem. Last week, Penticton parents ended up in fisticuffs with fans of an opposing team at a tournament in Salmon Arm. Earlier this month, a Burnaby hockey dad was given a conditional discharge and 12-months probation after threatening a nine-year-old minor-hockey player. And last November, a restraining order was placed on a woman who was allegedly harassing the Kootenay Ice junior team, as well as the National Hockey League’s Detroit Red Wings, with regard to her sons’ hockey careers. While these incidences pop up from time to time, there have been few documented cases here on the Peninsula in recent years. Back in 2009, police were called to South Surrey Arena – and a game cancelled – after fights broke out between supporters of a Semiahmoo midget team and a travelling squad from Montreal. More recently, Semiahmoo Minor Hockey launched a Respect in Sports program to curtail such behaviour, and many rinks throughout the Lower Mainland have code-of-conduct signs prominently displayed. But perhaps even here in South Surrey and White Rock, having a no-spectator weekend – or even simply bringing the idea of one to the forefront – would be considered a way to put things in perspective for parents, coaches, and others who frequent our arenas, football fields, gyms and soccer pitches in support our area’s young athletes. While competing in front a supportive crowd can be rewarding in itself, the players, first and foremost, are out there to make friends and have fun playing a sport they love. It is considerably less fun, one would assume, when you have to embarrassingly hang your head because your parents are screaming from the stands or sidelines. For the sake of all involved, a friendly reminder now and then to keep it classy is never a bad thing.

road-building, including most of the core habitat of the South Selkirk herd. The Nature Conservancy of Canada bought 550 square kilometres in that region to protect habitat. Strategies include transplanting animals from healthier to weaker herds to increase genetic diversity, and capturing and penning females with young calves to keep them from being picked off by wolves. The B.C. grey wolf population averages around 8,500, with managed hunting and trapping to protect livestock while preserving the wolf as apex predator in most of its wide range. This context is seldom reported by Vancouver media, which mostly sees its role not as explaining issues but rather embarrassing whatever political party is in power, and providing an uncritical platform for the stop-logging-miningenergy crowd, which is seen as popular with urban viewers. Remember the spotted owl, with the fringe of its range extending into southern B.C.? Our branch-plant enviros marketed that one for years. Its core habitat is Washington and Oregon, where many sawmills were shuttered to “save” them. Now they’re shooting invasive barred owls, which have emerged as a greater threat to spotted owls than logging. Context is important. I suppose we’ll never know what difference the 1980s wolf kill would have made if it hadn’t been shouted down for TV ratings and urban enviro-donations.

Trees are more beautiful Re: Helping to grow a sense of community, Jan. 13. Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder. To say the project at the coprner of 128 Street and 25 Avenue will be a beautiful garden is a bit of a stretch. This garden is going to look like the garden down at Blackie Spit, which is anything but beautiful – especially in the winter. How can you take out a nice stand of trees and replace it with planter boxes and call this beautiful? Surely there are empty spaces in the area that are an eyesore right now that could be used for the endeavour? Paul Lambert, Surrey

Tax campaign across the pond Editor: Have you ever worked in the U.K.? If you have even only worked for one year, you may very well qualify for a NI (National Insurance) pension from the U.K.
Often you can also make voluntary contributions to ‘top up’ to increase your pension. Now the kicker, when you collect your NI pension and live in Canada, it is frozen for life – no increase for inflation. However, you can help change this by signing the petition at www. change.org/p/end-pension-freezing The U.K. government is making changes that will allow anyone that ever lived in the U.K. eligible to vote. Ask your friends and relatives – especially those living in the U.K. – to support this initiative. The U.K. elections are in May, so time is running out. More information is available at

Curbing some recyclables Editor: I was surprised to learn, from reading the City of Surrey’s Waste Diversion Guide, that residents are now expected to transport empty glass jars – e.g. spaghetti sauce – to a recycling depot and not place them in a recycling cart. Gordon Ferguson, Surrey
A little patience goes long ways Editor: Re: A lack of sensitivity, Jan. 8 letters. There is a long-standing sentiment about not even having hospital pay parking adding to stress for compounded reasons. The computer technology in use these days certainly can allow for a stall number “grace period” of at least 15 minutes. Rather, it appears parkingmeter monitors may perhaps ring to the ticketing officer – timely opportunity to bring in big bucks, eh? It’s sad; and yes, staff members need to not park there all day, by retail or service stalls like hospitals. Commercial turnover of parking makes sense, yet a reasonable grace period needs to be accommodated.

Grateful for their courage Editor: Re: ‘This is what happened to our people,’ Jan. 1. The article featuring Stella Kosick Sloan was very interesting, and I appreciate her speaking about this period in Canadian history. My parents came to Canada in the 1920s, the second wave of ‘sheepskin coats.’ I well remember my grandmother’s ‘kojyh.’ This generation that Stella describes and their children deserve admiration for their perseverance, tenacity and achievements. They accomplished taming the prairie, laying railroad tracks, contributing to the Second World War effort both at home and abroad, and in the process becoming Canadians. Their difficult lives did not get recognition, apologies nor redress. In their humble way, they wanted to belong and achieve a better life for the next generation. I express my gratefulness for their courage, because I am that next generation. Marie Filuk, Surrey

A spring referendum on creating a 0.5 per cent sales tax to fund transit improvements has caused some division.
Different ways to vote on transit Editor: The expiration of union contracts has presented the public with an opportunity to consider the aspect of labour costs when deciding on how to vote in TransLink’s upcoming funding referendum. Unions representing transit workers are demanding another round of wage increases, or fairness as they like to call it, and Canada Line workers have voted in favour of job action. With TransLink’s top seven mangers each making between $300,0000 and $468,000 annually, and transit cops being paid $100,000 a year, TransLink has shown little interest in controlling expenses when it comes to wages. B.C. residents have already seen how a unionized transportation monopoly has resulted in a ferry service that many can no longer afford to use. Will Lower Mainland residents subject themselves to more of the same from an expanded transit monopoly, or will they vote against the transit funding referendum and apply the brakes to this gravy train? Glen Gerow, White Rock Q Re: Transit gets ‘em talking, Jan. 7 column. I agree with columnist Frank Bucholtz: with the upcoming TransLink referendum, the next few months will be exciting for residents South of the Fraser. We all cope daily with congestion. For a long time, rapid transit has been an imaginary dream – a buzzword with little buzz. All the while, congestion grows, creating a costly nightmare. With no viable alternatives, people feel forced to drive in this mess. But this spring, we have a chance to vote ‘yes’ to light rail in Surrey and bus rapid transit throughout the region. With strategic investments in rapid transit – and the new living and working patterns that accompany them – less people will need to travel great distances to get to work. Finally, people will have a way out of congestion. It will come as no surprise that, when people have a choice, they overwhelmingly prefer to live, work, play – and shop – close to home. While some hop the borders for shopping, will they
continue to wait in border lines – wasting time and gas – just to save a few cents on every purchase? Not likely – especially as the ‘decongestion’ helps their budget. There is no doubt that Surrey is emerging as the new great hub in the Lower Mainland. Just look at how the SkyTrain has transformed Downtown Surrey. With a series of new smaller hubs evolving South of Fraser – each with more jobs, recreation and housing options than before – rapid transit will help guide the growth and connect the dots. We will travel less, and when we need to travel, we will spend less time and money. Sounds like progress to me. Patrick Thompson, Delta Q Re: Metro mayors pick Hepner, Jan. 20. The news that newly minted Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner had been named vice-chair for the Translink Mayor’s Council to push for a “yes” vote in the transit plebiscite reads more like an April Fool’s Day story. Hepner, the 10-year councillor who is surprised it costs money for extra police and to actually run new pool complexes, and never mentioned extra taxes during her campaign, now scoops up another $50,000 in public money for the position of vice-chair. This is a woman asking us for trust? This is a group, using our money to try to buy our vote. When provincial MLAs, municipal councillors and Translink executives and boards start making cuts in spending to their per diems, pensions, severance packages, travel budgets, car allowances, cellphone budgets and more perks, then I might consider voting for a new tax. But that never happens. The first go-to move of our free-spending politicians is to go to the taxpayer to fund never-ending requests for cash. Sorry. The buck stopped here a long time ago. The TransLink wish-list is over-priced and the tax will become permanent, only to rise in the future. Vote “no” and tell them to live within their means. Peter Batistoni, Surrey

Baldwin to serve at UBCM Jeff Nagel Black Press
White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin has been elected to serve as Metro Vancouver’s representative on the executive of the Union of B.C. Municipalities. The Metro board of directors voted Baldwin into the position Friday morning, choosing him over Surrey Coun. Bruce Hayne. He replaces Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner in the Metro seat on the UBCM executive. Baldwin was nominated by Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, while Surrey Coun. Barbara Steele nominated Hayne. Hayne said strong Metro representation at UBCM will be important for the region as issues like transportation and waste management
remain prominent. Besides being re-elected as White
Rock’s mayor, Baldwin also has extensive municipal experience
as the city’s former chief administrative officer.

The breakthrough way to SCULPT YOUR BODY! A surgery-free, non-invasive technique that gets rid of unwanted fat! Even if you’ve endured never-ending marathon workouts, you probably have pockets of plump that won’t budge. And while going under the knife may be tempting, the pain is not! Now you don’t have to. Thanks to Zeltiq a new surgery-free FDA & Health Canada approved technique is available and New Beauty Institute is pleased to have been chosen to be able to offer the treatment. How it works: As temperatures plunge, fat cells freeze long before muscle, skin or any other tissue does! Zeltiq Coolsculpting takes advantage of this. “Damaged, frozen fat cells can’t be repaired by the body, so they’re smoothing out even stubborn fat pads within two to four months” says dermatologist Mark S. Nestor, M.D., Director of the Center for Cosmetic Enhancement in Miami, Florida. And specific troublespots can be easily targeted!
Free Hearing Screening
What to expect: Zeltiq Coolsculpting takes about one hour per treated area. Since no anaesthetics, needles, or incisions are needed you can head back to your normal activities right away; there is no downtime. Treated areas tend to look red and feel a bit stiff for about 20 minutes, and some patients experience temporary bruising, numbness, or tenderness. What studies show: “Zeltiq removes 20% of the fat from treated areas with undeniable results. It’s producing better results than the research had predicted. Patients love it!” The catch: If you’re obese, you will not be happy with this treatment, notes Caree Ludwar, owner of New Beauty Institute. “It’s meant for people who are close to their ideal body weight and want to get rid of stubborn pockets of fat – the sort of thing that wrecks the way clothing fits. However, we have had very good results with larger belly areas on some patients.”

Surrey RCMP are searching for the man who they believe was the first to arrive at a serious car crash.
Accident witness sought Sheila Reynolds Black Press
Surrey RCMP would like to speak to a man they believe was the first person to arrive at the scene of a serious crash in Surrey in early December. The collision occurred on Dec. 6 at about 8:10 p.m. near 134 Street and 66A Avenue. Police were advised a Ford Edge travelling southbound on 134th had sideswiped a northbound Ford pickup truck. The Edge then went off the road and into a tree.
The 40-year-old male driver of the Edge was badly injured and, more than a month later, remains in critical, but stable, condition in hospital. After reviewing video surveillance and 911 calls, police are hoping to identify a potential witness who was driving behind the Edge prior to the incident. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s believed the witness was a man and was the first to arrive at the scene and spoke to the driver of the pickup truck. They think he may be the same person seen
driving a light-coloured sedan captured on video surveillance (in above photo). Anyone with further information about the Dec. 6 crash, including the witness himself, is asked to contact the Surrey RCMPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Criminal Collision Investigation Team (CCIT) at 604-599-0502, quoting file number 2014-176731. Surrey RCMP remind people that if they witness a collision, remain at the scene to speak to an officer.

here’s a reason why dogs are considered man’s best friend. But if more proof was needed, South Surrey resident Nicole Schnapp, and her niece, Bella, would just have to introduce you to Kolton. The five-month-old assistancedog-in-training constantly reminds the two – and the people they interact with – of the ways the four-legged family members make a difference in human lives. Schnapp, 30, is a volunteer with Pacific Assistance Dog Society. Currently, she is raising Kolton, a golden lab that will eventually graduate from training and be homed with a person who has a physical disability. Bella has been a big help taking care of Kolton, Schnapp said, and for her show-and-tell presentation this Friday at Jessie
Lee Elementary, the seven-yearup the organization and emailed to old will be bringing Kolton in to apply to be a puppysitter,” Schnapp explain what work he and PADS said. “The organization is a great does, as well as share etiquette for community of people. The trainers interacting with assistance dogs. are amazing, the dogs are amazing, “I like PADS I feel like I give back because the (dogs) ❝Seeing the freedom to the community by will be able to it.” that they give these doing help people with After 2½ years, people and the disabilities,” the Schnapp decided connection that they to take on the soft-spoken Grade 2 student said, adding have with them, makes responsibility of that when she is old it totally worthwhile.❞ raising a service dog. enough she would Due to her hectic Nicole Schnapp also like to be a schedule, she splits puppy raiser volunteer with the time training Kolton organization, like with another South her aunt. Surrey family, in order to ensure Schnapp, a South Surrey labour the dog is familiar with all aspects and delivery nurse who works at of daily life. Surrey Memorial Hospital, began “They like the dogs to go volunteering with the non-profit everywhere with you, so the organization three years ago after family lives about a block down, hearing about it from a friend. and he lives with me four days “I’ve always been a dog lover, and then they have him for four but could never own one myself days, it’s a really great setup,” because of my work, so I just looked Schnapp said.
While Schnapp admits it is difficult to give up the dogs she has cared for when the time comes, the end result makes it all worth it. “PADS has a graduation once a year, where they place their graduated dogs with the clients and just the emotion that is involved in that event and seeing the freedom that they give these people and the connection that they have with them, makes it totally worthwhile,” she explained. “They’re pretty amazing animals.” For more information on PADS, to volunteer or to sponsor a dog like Kolton, visit www.pads.ca
Assistance-dog etiquette Q Feel free to admire a dog from afar or to quickly compliment the dog as you pass by. Q Ask politely if you can pet a puppy-in-training (not adult working dogs).
Puppies-in-training wear a yellow cape and are being socialized by their puppy-raisers. If we never let anyone pet them they would be poorly socialized. Before petting the puppy, wait for the raiser to instruct the puppy into a sit, and to give you the OK before you start petting the puppy. The puppy must remain in a calm sit. If the puppy gets up or tries to paw at or mouth you, immediately stop petting them. Q Don’t ever pet (or ask to pet) a working dog. Working dogs, even when they appear to be doing nothing, need to be attentive to their handler. If they realize that they can get attention somewhere other than their handler it makes them less attentive to the client who needs their undivided attention. Q Do not ask for/give training advice. Working dogs are not pets, and as such they are trained and handled differently. D i re c t e d b y

How to Ànd the right real estate lawyer Buying or selling real estate is rarely free of complications. Unforeseen issues often arise during real estate transactions, and in such instances a real estate attorney can prove invaluable. While buyers, sellers or veteran real estate investors might be able to handle minor or routine issues on their own or with the help of their realtor, more complex matters are best left in the hands of a real estate attorney. One of the beneÀts to hiring a real estate attorney when negotiating a complex or potentially complex real estate transaction is the expertise that lawyers can bring to the table. Realtors may have vast experience buying and selling homes, and many are adept at negotiating as well. But realtors are not licensed to practice law, and even the savviest realtor would admit that offering legal advice is not his or her forte. Men and women involved in complex or potentially complex real estate transactions would be wise to hire a real estate attorney. One of the reasons to hire a real estate attorney is to make use of their experience. Hurdles have a tendency to spring up during complicated real estate transactions. Men and women involving themselves in development deals or buying rental properties likely won't see potential red Áags as clearly as a veteran real estate attorney will. When interviewing a real estate attorney, ask how long he has been working as a real estate lawyer and how long he has been practicing in your particular province and city. Zoning laws and other restrictions vary from province to province and city to city, so look for a lawyer who has considerable experience in your province and city or the province and city where the transaction is taking place.

Exploring France and Italy this Summer... By Ginny Harrison, White Rock Travel Traveling to France, or Italy? Both are such delightful countries to explore! Will it be Provence? Bordeaux? Normandy? All of the above? In Provence, photograph the magnificent lavender fields at the 12th century Abbaye de Senanque – and walk in the ochre coloured quarries of Roussillon. Explore the medieval lanes of the hilltop village of Gordes, one of the most beautiful villages of Provence. Take a day trip to Avignon and marvel at the 14th century Palais des Papes. Visit the ancient Roman aqueduct, the Pont du Gard. Enjoy dinner and wine tasting at Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Stay in another of Provence’s beautiful villages: Saint Remy-de-Provence. A little further afield, and another must see – the walled citadel town of Carcassonne. Make your base just outside St. Remy, in a little farmhouse we know, or treat yourself to a stay at one of the wonderful Relais and Chateaux properties – Crillon le Brave. Or Italy? Such a magical country – with so many delicious areas to sample! Venice, San Gimignano and Tuscany, the coastal Cinque Terre! Venice is such an amazing city – so beautiful, and so full of history! This is one place where you need to be so careful about which hotel you pick, as your Venice experience depends on it. My favourite hotel, the Westin Europa and Regina, is on the Grand Canal, overlooking S. Maria della Salute. Here you can explore the nearby islands of Murano, known for its Venetian glass, or Burano, known for its coloured homes and lacework. San Gimignano is one of Tuscany’s small, walled medieval hilltop villages. Explore this town, wandering through its medieval lanes, full of geraniums and shops, a beautiful highlight of Tuscany. The Cinque Terre – having visited Monterosso al Mare the past two years, its such a beautiful spot, it would be easy to vacation here every year. Spend leisurely days hiking through the five villages amongst the vineyards, the olive trees, stopping at local bakeries and pizzerias or swimming in the clear Mediterranean. Explore the nearby towns, like Portofino or Porto Venere. One of our favourite hotels: Hotel Porto Roco. For me, if I’m going to enjoy this experience, it has to be here! We can design and create a beautiful trip just for you – from”up close and personal” on a small group biking or walking tour! There are also cooking schools, and small group tours with excellent companies, like Tauck, or Insight Vacations. There are many coach tours and river cruises! Many, many different ways to see France or Italy! Let White Rock Travel help you determine which trip feels right – and then we’ll design the perfect vacation, just for you!

Don't die of embarrassement...get your butt to the doctor
C
olorectal cancer — cancer of the colon or rectum — is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in Canada, yet it’s one of the most treatable cancers there is, even in its later stages. About 1 in 13 Canadian men is expected to develop colorectal cancer during his lifetime and 1 in 28 will die from it. About 1 in 16 Canadian women is expected to develop colorectal cancer during her lifetime and 1 in 32 will die from it. Most colorectal cancers develop slowly over several years. Before a cancer develops, a growth of tissue or tumour usually begins as a non-cancerous polyp on the inner lining of the colon or rectum. A tumour is abnormal tissue and can be benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer). A polyp is a benign, non-cancerous tumour. Some polyps can change into cancer, but not all do. Th e chance of changing into a cancer depends upon the kind of polyp. Regular colorectal cancer screening or testing is one of the most powerful weapons for preventing colorectal cancer. Screening is the process of looking for cancer in people who have no symptoms of the disease. It can take many years (as many as 10 to 15) for a polyp to develop into colorectal cancer. Regular screening can prevent many cases of
colorectal cancer altogether by finding and removing certain types of bpolyps before they have the chance to turn into cancer. Screening can also result in finding colorectal cancer early, when it is highly curable. Several tests are used to screen for colorectal cancer in people with an average risk of colorectal cancer. Ask your doctor which tests are available where you live and which options might be right for you, not all screening involves a colonoscopy. People who have no identified risk factors (other than age) should begin regular screening at age 50. Those who have a family history or other risk factors for colorectal polyps or cancer (see section “Risk factors for colorectal cancer”) should talk with their doctor about starting screening when they are younger and/ or getting screened more frequently. Here are four things experts say you must know about keeping your colon happy and healthy: 1. Get Screened Most colon cancers begin as polyps, lumps growing on the lining of the colon wall that can develop into cancer. Regular screening after the age of 50 is essential for detecting and removing these polyps before they become cancerous. Six of 10 deaths from colon cancer could be prevented if everyone age 50 and over got screened routinely. If your test comes back clean, you won’t need another one

4. Know the Risks Age is an important risk factor. Colon and rectal cancers most often strike people over the age of 50, but the disease can strike at any age. Although anyone can get colorectal cancer, it’s deadliest for minorities, because they’re less likely to get tested or seek treatment. If someone in your family has had colon cancer, this increases your risk too. Lynch syndrome — an inherited condition — puts someone at increased risk of colon cancer and other cancers. Doctors estimate that about three out of every 100 colon cancers stem from Lynch syndrome, and the disease often occurs at an earlier age. Lynch syndrome, which is confirmed by a simple blood test, may be a possible diagnosis when there are multiple cases of colorectal cancer on the same side of the family. The main prevention tool is that living a colon-healthy lifestyle goes a long way toward prevention of colorectal cancer. Our experts said that a diet high in red meat and low in fi bre, smoking, alcohol consumption, a lack of exercise and being overweight or obese add to the risk, although being an exercising vegetarian doesn’t completely eliminate your chances of gett ing the disease. So swallow your pride and expose your hide! It might just save your life.

for 10 years. However, if your test shows abnormalities, you should be screened more often. 2. Colonoscopies Aren’t That Bad During a colonoscopy, a doctor gently inserts a long, flexible tube with a light and camera on the end into your rectum to scope out signs of cancer. The test itself is no big deal. You’re under anesthetic and won’t feel a thing. Prep is another matter. Before the test you need to clean out your colon by drinking copious amounts of a viletasting liquid, then retiring to the bathroom for the better part of a day. Some people find the ordeal daunting, but if friends or loved ones resist the idea, encourage them to do it for the people who love and depend on them. 3. Don’t Die of Embarrassment There may be blood in stool, a change in bowel habits, diarrhea or a change in weight. A month or more of narrowing of the stools, straining, change in stool shape are all symptoms of bowel problems. Too often, people often ignore these symptoms or are too embarrassed to talk to the doctor about them. Health experts say to “get over it, get to the doctor and drop your pants!” Other than polyps there may be no other symptoms in the early stages of the disease. That’s why it’s so important to have regular check-ups and get screened on a schedule set by you and your doctor.

Back in the running: Knee Pain Solved Internal scar tissue is a common, yet often undiagnosed or misunderstood condition causing signi<cant pain and mobility limitations. Cold Laser Therapy is a promising treatment, triggering the body’s natural ability to overcome internal scar tissue. Internal scar tissue is a condition impacting many individuals with signi;cant pain and resulting mobility limitations. But it’s often not recognized as that -- even by experienced healthcare professionals. Diagnosis is hampered by the fact, that internal scar tissue doesn’t typically show up as different from surrounding normal tissues in X-rays, MRI and CT scans. However, it can be seen during surgery and if it’s close enough to the surface, it can be felt to the touch by practitioners speci;cally trained in internal scar tissue detection.
Internal Scar Tissue Causing Pain and Limiting Mobility Internal scar tissue is the body’s “emergency cellular structure” that builds in response to an injury. This tissue is made from comparatively minimalist, tough, in<exible and ;brous kind of material. It isn’t as <exible and doesn’t contribute to strength and mobility. To use a simple analogy, internal scar tissue is a bit like our Internal Scar Tissue in Skeletal Muscle body’s natural duct tape.

Since it lacks <exibility, internal scar tissue even increases the likelihood of future injury. Fortunately, scar tissue cells can also make room again for healthy cells. This often occurs very slowly or hardly at all, but with a little help, our body can break up and get rid of much internal scar tissue.
Cold Laser Therapy for Internal Scar Tissue Cold Laser Therapy delivers light energy to the area of the injury, which helps the body to break • Stop pain down and dispose of scar tissue and replace it with Safe, drug free, no side normal healthy tissue.

You can also start Cold Laser Therapy immediately after the injury. Since it delivers light energy to injured cells into the damaged area, there’s no additional injury or pain. Many people even experience some immediate amount of pain relief because of the extra pain-killing beta-endorphins the body naturally produces, when exposed to the light energy. Cold Laser Therapy:
If Cold Laser Therapy is started very quickly after an injury (or surgery), then cellular tissue is healing and growing much faster, and the body doesn’t even bother to create so much scar tissue. And more healthy tissue and less scar tissue in the ;rst place also means more <exibility and strength in the injured area resulting in accelerated recovery. However, even many years after original injury, Cold Laser Therapy boosts the healthy cell’s energy levels, so they can do their job of replacing scar tissue with healthy tissue much more effectively. The extra cellular energy delivered through Cold Laser Therapy allows the process of scar tissue replacement to begin.

David tries Cold Laser Therapy for his knee pain David has been running, both competitively and recreationally, for his entire g life. He has completed multiple marathons and long distance events, and is very passionate about the sport. ort. Quite a number of years ago, David started ed experiencing knee pain that affected his ability to run. un. ve His doctor suggested surgery on his knees to remove debris from behind his kneecaps that may have been n the cause of his pain. So David went through with the e procedure, in the hopes that it would reduce his knee ee pain. Unfortunately, the surgery didn’t put an end to his knee pain. Eventually it became just too much to bear,, so he reduced his running. But to stay active, while also reducing ducing the stress on his knees, he took up cycling and ;tness ess training. However, even with these lower impact activities, David found that his knees were sore no matter what activity he did. He always had pain, but just toughed it out, assuming that this was just the way it was going to be. When David came into Solaj Wellness Centre, he was very skeptical. He had heard about Cold Laser Therapy from his personal trainer and was encouraged to give it a try. He told us that all he wanted to do was, to be able to run freely, without pain. Having tried many other therapies without meaningful and lasting success, he had an understandably dif;cult time believing that this laser therapy thing would be any different. But still - if his personal trainer was right - the upside of stopping the pain in his knee was considerable, so he decided to give Cold Laser Therapy a chance. After the ;rst 3 treatments, David started to notice slightly less pain in his knees. Although it was subtle, it was a step in the right direction, encouraging him to continue with the therapy. After 6 treatments, his initial scepticism turned into real hope, as he was running with almost no pain and noticed that the remaining pain would subside much sooner after exercising than before. He also found that his knees were not as sore as they used to be during his personal training sessions, and with much reduced pain levels, physical activity just seemed easier. After 13 treatments over a 7 week period, hope had turned to happy satisfaction and David was able to end his treatments, because he was back to running and exercising without any of his previous symptoms. A few months later, we received a message from David:

However, the staff at Solaj Wellness Centre are working to shed light on this silent menace that can cause chronic pain. Internal scar tissue is a typical aftereffect of internal injury or surgery and is the body’s natural way of quickly healing internal injuries. However, if the scar tissue is not naturally dissolved by the body, it can cause significant issues that are not visible externally, nor does it show on X-rays or MRIs, making it easy to misdiagnose. While internal scar tissue can affect individuals of all ages, seniors have had more years of wear and tear on their bodies, increasing the likelihood of injuries and surgeries. Furthermore, older bodies are less able to dissolve internal scar tissue without help. “Internal scar tissue is much less flexible and more abrasive than normal, healthy tissue,” Solaj’s clinic manager Maria Voll explains. “When a body part with internal scar tissue is active, the structures – such as muscle, ligaments and tendons – are unable to move, stretch and interact with one another as they normally would.” Because of those
complications, the result is often inflammation, pain and in severe cases even reduced range of motion. Fortunately, there is treatment for internal scar tissue. Cold Laser Therapy has been successfully used to naturally combat internal scar tissue. At Solaj, chiropractor Dr. Melanie Rapoport performs an assessment to determine if internal scar tissue is the source of the problem. She will discuss the background and details of the condition, perform a brief examination and answer any questions about treatment with Cold Laser Therapy. The innovative – and natural – therapy is used to treat a variety of conditions, such as osteoarthritis and sport and work injuries. The therapy uses carefully calibrated wavelengths of light to give the body’s interior cells an energy boost, which in turn allows those cells to dissolve the internal scar tissue naturally. “Once gone, internal scar tissue generally does not reappear, unless there is a new injury or surgery in that area,” Voll said. Voll noted that patients who bring in this Peace Arch News article over the next two weeks will have their $45 assessment fee with Dr. Rapoport waived. For more information, visit www. solaj.ca

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
Surrey victory comes on heels of pair of road losses in Prince George
Eagles beat Warriors for first 2015 win Nick Greenizan
G
Sports Reporter
ood things come to those who wait. On Sunday, the Surrey Eagles were proof of that, after a 5-4 victory over the visiting West Kelowna Warriors. Coming off a pair of road losses to their BC Hockey League division rival Prince George Spruce Kings earlier in the week, the Eagles were set to host the Warriors Sunday afternoon, with puck drop set for 4 p.m. However, due to some West Kelowna “travel issues” – the team was coming to the Peninsula from Powell River – the game was first delayed an hour, and then delayed a second time, with the game eventually getting underway at about 5:15 p.m. The win was the Eagles’ first of 2015, snapping a nine-game losing streak. And, perhaps owing to the aforementioned travel delays and the fact they were playing their third game in as many days, West Kelowna came out of the gate a little sluggish, allowing the hometown Eagles to jump out to an early lead. Just a few minutes after Surrey killed off the first penalty of the game – Nick Beck served two minutes for interference – Jordan Funk opened the scoring for the home team. Five minutes later, Quinn Lenihan made it 2-0 when, with the Eagles on the power play, he batted a puck out of the air and into the Kelowna net. New Eagles’ captain Ben Vikich – who was given the captain’s ‘C’ last week – capped the first-period scoring at 12:48 of the opening frame. The tired Warriors picked up their pace in the second period, however, and battled back with goals from Braedan Jones and Kylar Hope to bring the deficit to just one goal, but Cole Plotnikoff – who assisted on Funk’s first-period goal – re-established the Eagles’ two-goal cushion when he scored late in the frame. The Warriors continued to claw their way back in the third period – Jason Cotton scored a power-play goal five minutes into the period – but again, the Eagles’ two-goal lead was restored when Darius Davidson scored. Davidson saw an eight-game point streak snap earlier in the weekend against the

Surrey Eagles goaltender Daniel Davidson – along with defencemen Brian Drapluk and Latrell Charleson – battle for space in front of the net during a game earlier this month. The Eagles won their first game of 2015 on Sunday, 5-4 over the visiting West Kelowna Warriors. Spruce Kings, but his goal Sunday gave him a team-best 21. With Surrey up 5-3, West Kelowna’s Brayden Gelsinger made things interesting when he scored with 4:30 left on the clock, but the Eagles were able to hold off a late charge from the visitors to nab the two points in the standings. Though playoffs are out of the picture for this year’s Eagles’ squad – they sit more than 20 points out of a playoff spot – head coach Blaine Neufeld said last week he wanted to see improvement in his club’s play – especially when faced with adversity,
or games like Sunday’s in which the visiting club kept battling back on the scoreboard. “We have to fight our way out of these kinds of things,” he told Peace Arch News at the time. With Sunday’s win, the Eagles improved to 8-35-0-3. Despite losses to Prince George on Thursday and Friday – 2-1 and 4-3 – there were positives to take from the games. For starters, both were low-scoring, close contests. Secondly, there was the play of both Surrey goaltenders. Thursday, Christian Short made 39 saves
– many fit for a highlight reel – and despite the loss, was named first-star for his effort. A day later, rookie Daniel Davidson stopped 30 of 34 shots in the 4-3 loss. On Friday, Vikich, affiliate-player Logan Webber, a member of the major-midget Valley West Hawks, who scored his firstever BCHL goal – and Plotnikoff scored for the Eagles. Plotnikoff scored Surrey’s lone goal Thursday, as well. Surrey is back on the ice this Friday in Coquitlam against the Express, and Saturday night will host Prince George at South Surrey Arena.
Basketball team sits in playoff spot after two-game win streak
Kwantlen women one step closer to post-season Rick Kupchuk Sports Reporter
A brief two-game win streak has vaulted the Kwantlen Eagles into a playoff position and left the head coach of the women’s basketball team positive about qualifying for the post-season. “The team is starting to gel and play together as a unit,” said coach Dan Nayebzadeh. “They are competing much harder now, and if we continue to focus on the process, we are going to be fine.”
KPU (Kwantlen Polytechnic University) dominated the Langara Falcons 72-47 Thursday – the team’s second straight win after beating Capilano the weekend before – to take sole possession of sixth place in the eight-team PACWEST (Pacific Western Athletic Conference) standings. The Eagles also lost to the Douglas College Royals, falling 57-50 Friday night at KPU’s Surrey campus to fall to 3-8 (won-loss) with 10 games still
remaining. Tied for sixth place with the Falcons going into Thursday’s game, the Eagles raced out to a 17-9 lead and led 36-22 at halftime. They continued to build their lead over the final 20 minutes. Shilpa Khanna again paced KPU to the win, scoring 22 points and adding four rebounds and five assists. Sam McPhail dominated the boards with 18 rebounds, adding 18 points to earn the
double-double and also earning five assists. Christian Brown chipped in with 10 points and five assists. Against the Royals, KPU struggled in the third quarter and lost a close contest. The Eagles battled hard, trailing just 25-23 at the half. But they gave up 22 points in the third quarter and were down 47-36 with 10 minutes to play. The Eagles shot 68 per cent from the free-throw line, and outrebounded Douglas 39-34. But
field-goal shooting hurt the KPU offense. Khanna topped Eagles scorers with 12 points, followed by Amber-Lee Kavanagh with 10. Kavanagh also had six assists, second only to McPhail’s 12. The Eagles will host the league’s two Vancouver Island teams next weekend. The 9-2 Vancouver Island Mariners of Nanaimo are the visitors Friday night, with Victoria’s Camosun Chargers (6-5) the opponents Sunday at 1 p.m.

CARROLL, Paula Maren (Svensson) Passed away peacefully at home on January 16th, 2015 surrounded by family. In 1958, Mom immigrated to Canada and settled in White Rock, B.C. She was a very hard working and astute business woman and from very humble beginnings founded Semiahmoo Cleaners which grew to become a very reputable and well established dry cleaning plant. She was very community minded and volunteered many hours to the Soroptimist Club of White Rock and later Rotary Anns. Mom met her soul-mate Allan Carroll and in 1979 they married. They loved to travel and enjoyed many winters in warm and sunny destinations. Their home was bustling with family, friends and many years of hosting exchange students from all parts of the world. Mom was born May 13, 1925 in Ejstrupholm, Denmark to Karl and Ane Therkelsen and had three brothers and three sisters, she was the second eldest. After the war and at a very young age she and her sister Jenny traveled to the US, and for 2 years worked in Detroit Michigan living with aunts and uncles.
Mom is survived by her sisters Eugenie in Denmark and Karen in Langley, BC, several sistersin-law, and numerous nieces and nephews. Together Mom and Al had 4 daughters, Lone (Kazimierz), Susan (Richard), Sandy (Ron), Lynn (Roy) and 8 grandchildren and 6 greatgrandchildren. The family would like to thank Park Place Shaughnessy Care Centre for their amazing care especially in her last days. Mom will be greatly missed by those who knew and loved her. In lieu of flowers, honourary donations may be made to B.C. Heart and Stroke Foundation, Alzheimer Society of B.C. or a charity of your choice. A service will be held on Wednesday January 28th at 1:00 pm at Granly Church, 9243 - 152nd Street Surrey.
MACLEOD, John Ronald O.C. May 22, 1924 to January 15, 2015 Ron passed way leaving his beloved wife Lorraine of 57 years to mourn. Ron was predeceased by his father Murdo, mother Julia and brother Ian Charles. Ron was raised in Tofino where his father was the federal Fisheries Inspector. After some years of fishing and logging, Ron joined the Department of Fisheries in 1956, rising to a Director General at retirement. During his career, Ron directed the development of the Pacific Salmonid Enhancement Program, a program to apply technical knowledge to the culture of Salmonids. The highlight of this program for Ron was the introduction of Salmonids in the Classroom, a schoolbased program to introduce school children to the conservation ethic and through this means, promote the ethic as a system of value in B.C. Over a million children participated in the program since its inception in 1976. After his retirement in 1984, Ron was an active volunteer with 411 Seniors Centre, Federal Superannuates, CARP, President of Southwynd Strata Council for 8 years, B. C. Pipers Assn. and SFU’s Studies in Science. Ron along with the Honourable John Fraser and Ronald Sutherland was a founding member of SFU’s Centre for Scottish Studies. In 2002 he was appointed an Officer of the Order of Canada. Ron was also an expert in Piobaireachd. During his retirement, Ron fought to save salmon and their habitats guided by the late, great Naturalist Roderick Haig-Brown’s dictum “we are stewards of one of the world’s last great abundances and it behoves us to give wise thought to its preservation”. A Celebration of Life will be on Feb. 27th 1:00 p.m. at Morgan Creek Golf Course. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Ron MacLeod Environmental Science Endowment Fund at SFU will be appreciated.

We wish we could see your smiling face, one more time, just walking through our door. But we know that is not possible, we will hear your voice no more. We know you can feel our tears and you do not want us to cry. Yet our hearts are broken, because we can’t understand why, someone so precious had to die. We pray that God will give us strength and somehow get us through as we struggle with this heartache, that came, when we lost you.
