Wildlife group offers $1,000 reward for conviction of those responsible
Outrage over leg-hold-trap injuries Sarah Massah Staff Reporter
A longstanding Vancouver-based animalprotection group is stepping up to support four-legged wildlife injured in White Rock by leg-hold traps. The Association for the Protection of FurBearing Animals (APFA) told Peace Arch News Friday it will offer a $1,000 reward for information leading to the identification and
conviction of the individual or individuals responsible for the leg-hold traps that seriously injured a mother raccoon twice in recent weeks. PAN was first alerted to the leg-hold traps Wednesday by Frank Groff, who lives in the 1400-block of Marine Drive. According to Groff, the raccoon, which has two babies, had one of its front paws ensnared in the leg-hold trap four weeks
earlier, causing it to either gnaw or twist off its paw. Two days earlier, the same raccoon was seen with another leg-hold trap on one of its back paws. After a story about the raccoon’s injuries was published in Thursday’s PAN, comments came in from residents who had seen injured raccoons in their neighbourhood. Longtime Hardie Avenue resident Alice
Mitchell said Friday that it has become a frequent sight near her home. “About this time of year, we see the little guys wandering around, and in the last couple of weeks, in front of our house on Hardie Avenue, so many are coming by that are maimed,” she said. “It’s just disgusting. They have legs torn off and some other traps must be going in, because some have skin and fur torn off. i see page 4
No injures in air crash

A flipped ‘experimental’ plane was reportedly righted by the time Surrey firefighters arrived at a private landing strip near the Serpentine River.
Two Port Coquitlam residents escaped injury Sunday morning after the plane they were in crashed during takeoff in South Surrey. The single-engine ‘experimental’ aircraft sustained visible damage in the crash, which occurred just before 10:30 a.m. at a private landing strip along the Serpentine River. According to a Surrey RCMP news release, the plane dipped to the right during takeoff, catching the landing gear in some bushes at the end of the runway. The plane then reportedly flipped upside-down, but had been righted onto its wheels with the passengers safely out by the time first responders arrived. The Transportation Safety Board has been advised of the incident. – Melissa Smalley
Youth game marred by off-ice incident
Police advise charge after hockey-fan fracas Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter
The West Vancouver Police Department is investigating an office incident that allegedly occurred between fans of a Semiahmoo Minor Hockey team and one from Hollyburn Country Club in West Vancouver Friday. Police and ambulance crews were called to the rink after at least one
fight broke out in the stands of a youth game between the two associations’ bantam ‘A1’ squads. According to West Vancouver Police, an argument arose between two men in the viewing area of the arena. One man allegedly grabbed the other, and other spectators then stepped in to help break up the situation. No serious injuries were reported,
according to West Vancouver Police Const. Jeff Palmer. The alleged victim, a 67-yearold Langley man, reported minor bruising and soreness. Police say they will recommend a charge of assault against a 45-yearold West Vancouver man. The accused was arrested and released on a promise to appear at North Vancouver Provincial Court

on May 6. There were reports over the weekend – which travelled quickly via social media – that the altercation started when a Semiahmoo player was spit upon by someone in the stands, but neither Palmer nor Semiahmoo Minor Hockey Association president Ian Maguire would speculate on what may have sparked the melee.

“For us, the focus is just on the altercation between the two men,” Palmer said. Maguire – who was not in attendance at the game, played by 13and 14-year-olds – said his association, as well as executive members from Hollyburn, were working with BC Hockey and the police to get to the bottom of the situation. i see page 2

City staff research
W.R. pier comes up short of record Sarah Massah Staff Reporter
Although it stands out as a beloved landmark of the city, White Rock’s pier does not have the distinction of being the longest in Canada. In an email to councillors, the city manager advised that, following research by staff, Quebec’s Marina de Portneuf has a pier that is about one kilometre long – double the length of White Rock’s. “I have no knowledge as to whether or not this pier is indeed the longest pier in Canada. Ultimately it is found through time someone else will build something longer, higher, etc.,” Dan Bottrill writes in the email, which was posted to Coun. David Chesney’s website last week. City communication officer Shannon Levesque said Friday that city staff Googled and contacted cities in order to find out if White Rock’s pier was the longest. “City staff spent just over one day on the matter,” she told Peace Arch News. “To reiterate, once city staff found a pier that was longer than White Rock’s pier, city staff did not look further into the matter. “The motion was simply to determine if White Rock’s pier was the longest, not which pier deserved the title. We have no knowledge as to whether or not this (Quebec) pier is indeed the longest pier in Canada.” The search was initiated after Chesney put forward a motion on Jan. 26 to find out if the city’s 100-year-old pier holds the record. “White Rock Tourism would be able to invite people to come to White Rock to see Canada’s longest pier,” he told council.

Provincial politicians speak out on transit plebiscite
Surrey MLAs scold ‘no’ forces Jeff Nagel Black Press
Two Surrey MLAs are accusing ‘no’ forces in the transit referendum of misleading the public by exaggerating the issue of waste at TransLink. Surrey-Panorama MLA Marvin Hunt, a former Surrey councillor and Metro Vancouver board chair, and Education Minister Peter Fassbender, formerly mayor of Langley City and vice-chair of the mayors’ council, made the comments Friday in Cloverdale, where Transportation Minister Todd Stone urged local business leaders to support the ‘yes’ campaign. Hunt said TransLink has got “a bad rap” from ‘no’ campaign leader Jordan Bateman, who he said has made “very unfair” comparisons of executive salaries to those paid in smaller transit organizations that do not have the geographic sweep or extent of responsibilities as the Metro Vancouver agency. “An awful lot of erroneous information has gone out,” Hunt said.
“Unfortunately, there’s nobody out improve by saying ‘no’,” Hunt said. “All there saying ‘Jordan, get serious. Tell you’re going to have is more people, the truth on these things.’” more cars, more congestion, worse air Hunt, a past director on the Transand more beat-up roads.” Link board when it was elected, “It’s absolutely critical to vote ‘yes’,” insisted TransLink is “extremely effiHunt said, calling the 0.5 per cent sales cient” compared to equivalent transit tax a fair way to finance transportation agencies in North America. improvements that “everybody wants Hunt defended former CEO Ian Jarbut nobody wants to pay for.” vis’ work to cut costs – $100 million a Fassbender also took issue with ‘no’ MLA Marvin Hunt year was saved from the budget under campaign claims that TransLink is his watch, in part by reconfiguring Surrey-Panorama effectively a black hole of waste. bus routes – and suggested Bateman’s “I don’t agree with them,” the Surreyskills lie more in “pointing fingers and throwing Fleetwood MLA said. “People from outside this stones.” province look at TransLink and say it’s one of the “Show me the savings he produced at Langley best systems in North America, if not the world.” Township when he was on their council and Bateman said on Twitter it is sad to see Hunt then we can start to talk about what he can do give TransLink “a free pass on waste” and asked at TransLink.” why the CEO was removed if it was well run.

Track-side trash targeted
Mayors encounter tax skeptics at phone-in meeting
Melissa Smalley

Weeks after bags of garbage were spotted near the train tracks at West Beach, the City of White Rock says it’s co-ordinating with BNSF to have the debris removed. The city was notified of the garbage – which includes more than a dozen shopping bags of waste – on Feb. 16 via social media, when Twitter user Carson Burgin posted photos of the debris. On Saturday, Burgin posted more photos, with the caption: “It’s been over two weeks since you said you’d send an OPS crew to clean up the trash… yet nothing has been done.” In an email to Peace Arch News, city staff noted: “The removal requires flaggers, permission, coordination with trains because of its proximity to the tracks. We hope to see the garbage removed shortly and appreciate the online post that brought this to city attention.”
Mayors from two of the region’s fastest-growing cities – Surrey and Coquitlam – pleaded for a transit referendum ‘yes’ vote with mostly skeptical local callers in back-to-back telephone town halls this week. Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner was joined Thursday evening by White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin, while Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart took calls Wednesday with Vancouver Board of Trade CEO Iain Black. “This is one of those rare moments that is so clearly about the future,” Hepner said. “If we let this fall apart – and that is a great fear of mine – it will be years and years and years in the making before we can come up with something else.” Each mayor outlined the significant local improvements planned, including light-rail lines in Surrey, a B-Line express bus route to White Rock and much improved transit service, with buses connecting South Surrey to the Canada Line every five minutes in rush hour. Baldwin appealed to voters to think not of how upgrades will benefit themselves, but their

kids and grandchildren. “It’s not for me, this is for her,” he told callers. Baldwin said much of the increased transit service planned would be concentrated South of the Fraser, which has historically been underserved: “Finally, it’s going to be our turn.” Baldwin noted just 20 per cent of South of Fraser residents currently live within walking distance of a frequent bus route running at least every 15 minutes, but that would climb to 54 per cent under the plan. Mayors also pointed to the planned 80 per cent increase in night bus service, helping lateshift workers. In both telephone town halls, callers complained about unfair bridge tolling and suggested lower tolls be charged on all bridges so that all drivers pay fairly towards improvements. “Use that money so everybody pays instead of just people South of the Fraser,” a Surrey caller urged. Hepner said the planned 0.5 per cent sales tax will result in “everybody paying their fair share throughout the entire region” and added tourists will contribute as well. She defended the decision to keep recently replaced TransLink
CEO Ian Jarvis so his “enormous skills” could be used rather than simply paying severance. Other issues touched on included difficult bus access from South Surrey to the Tsawwassen ferry terminal and the South Surrey Park and Ride expansion built by the province that’s been empty since it opened due to the imposition of pay parking there. The Tri-Cities town hall heard even more callers vowing to vote ‘no’, citing various local transportation complaints. “These are things we are trying to fix,” Stewart responded, adding that to reject new money that could actually improve transit is equivalent to saying “I’m going to kick myself.” Some said they can’t afford the new sales tax and will vote ‘no’ because they pay too much now to cross the tolled Port Mann Bridge. Black, a former BC Liberal MLA said a ‘no’ vote would send a strong signal that residents oppose more spending and would not create any impetus to find a Plan B or reform TransLink. Baldwin warned that the Plan B being pushed by the province is higher property taxes, and he said the sales tax is at least more equitable than that.

Neighbours concerned for wildlife i from page 1 “They’re just hobbling around, completely maimed.” Mitchell noted she suspects the traps have been laid in Duprez Ravine near her house, rather than at a residence, because of the noise the injured raccoons make when trapped. “Who is going to lay a trap by their house? These poor little things, when they’re trapped, scream like babies,” she said. Mitchell – like Groff – has contacted the SPCA and conservation officers, but said “no one seems to be getting on it.” Adding to her concerns is the danger the traps pose to off-leash dogs and outdoor cats who often go through the ravine, a popular series of hiking trails on the wooded hillside south of Centennial Park. “It’s really concerning the neighbourhood,” she said. Online commenters have also claimed to see raccoons in White Rock missing tails, paws, fur and with injuries to their eyes. Michael Howie, the APFA’s director of digital content and special projects, said that along with the $1,000 reward, the group has organized a petition – which, as of Monday, had surpassed 5,300 signatures – urging the city to place a prohibition on leg-hold traps. “The use of these traps in communities is frightening to us, as it likely is to you. Leg-hold,
Sarah Massah photo
Alice Mitchell believes leg-hold traps have been set in Duprez Ravine. Conibear, snares and other bodygripping traps are designed to hold an animal against its will or kill within five minutes – regardless of the species. Incidents involving endangered or at-risk species, as well as companion animals, are common across the country. Any creature who finds themselves in the grasp of these steel devices must endure days of agony before a trapper returns to ‘dispatch’ them,” Howie explained in an email that was sent Friday to Mayor Wayne Baldwin and council. “Further, this trap should not have been set for raccoons, nor been able to catch one, under current trapping regulations.”
According to Howie, while the traps are legal in Canada – with a permit – the city can pass a bylaw that will prohibit their use. “A municipality has the right to protect residents,” he said. Baldwin responded by email that the petition was referred to city staff Friday. The city’s communications officer, Shannon Levesque, told PAN the city will be taking steps to educate residents. “The city will be adding material to our website about wildlife in the neighbourhood, common solutions and advice after sharing (Howie’s) concerns on this raccoon statement,” Levesque said.

Your Digital Assets in Death In this age of technology, almost everyone has some type of digital or electronic asset, whether it be an email, Facebook or iCloud account, photos stored on the Internet, purchased music / movies / ebooks, or a Paypal or ebank account with online statements. Once a person has passed, their executor or family is left to deal with the digital assets of the person along with any physical assets. In Canada, there is no law that allows executors access to the deceased person’s digital assets. The executor’s access will depend upon the service provider’s Terms and Conditions as per the original agreement accepted by the now deceased person. These Terms and Conditions can differ for each service provider. For example, the licenses for iTunes songs and Kindle ebooks downloaded by the deceased is nontransferable and the account is automatically cancelled. Some service providers may allow you to set up an inactive account manager. The inactive account manager would be notiÀed if the account is not used for an extended period of time and they may be permitted to download or transfer the contents of the account. It is in your best interest to regularly back up the contents of your digital accounts and keep that copy in a secure location where your executor has access to it. In addition, to simplify your executor’s job, it is recommended that you compile a list of your digital assets, their user names, account numbers, passwords and answers to security questions. For more detailed explanations, we recommend you consult your lawyer.

Fee currently serves as the vice-provost/students and deputy provost at KPU, and “has been a leader in the post-secondary education sector for more than three decades.” “Her expertise is in the administration of post-secondary learner-focused programs and services and student success.” In the Not-for-Profit Leader award category, Coreen Windbeil from the Surrey Association for Community Living was honoured. Windbeil is executive director of the organization, which provides community services such as residential/home-share living arrangements, social activities and day programs and employment skills and training. “Windbiel leads by example and empowers people to feel confident in their abilities – she strives to break down barriers and search for new opportunities,” it was noted by
SBOT. The award in the corporate/ leadership category went to Hanne Madsen of GroYourBiz, a peer-to-peer advisory board for women business owners, senior managers and entrepreneurs. With more than 20 years experience in financial analysis, Madsen assists women “in overcoming their challenges, leading them to develop innovative action plans, and (provides) them with support, training and expert advice.” “Women are contributing more than ever to B.C.’s economy, but many still face barriers,” said Tamara Vrooman, president and CEO of Vancity, which was the awards luncheon’s sponsor. “These awards, which recognize the hard work of Surrey’s business women and their contributions to the community, can help inspire women and men of all ages to make meaningful changes when it comes to supporting women in business and leadership.” – Nick Greenizan

It’s the thought that counts
C
ards were not exchanged around the province Sunday on International Women’s Day, and that’s alright. Because it’s the thought that counts – thought and action and change. International Women’s Day is observed to varying degrees around the world, most markedly in eastern Europe, where celebrations include cards, flowers, gifts and good deeds. We could do the same here, but then again, another Valentine’s Day or another Mother’s Day might muddy the message. Hopefully we already acknowledge our love and affection for our mothers, daughters, grandmothers, granddaughters, sisters, aunts, nieces, wives and girlfriends. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t pay attention each year when women’s day comes up on the calendar. Women’s issues are society’s issues, and we should forever strive for gender equality. This occasion is a chance to carry on a conversation, one that could lead any number of ways. The official United Nations women’s day theme for 2015 is Empowering Women, Empowering Humanity, and a major UN initiative right now is the He For She campaign urging men and boys to advocate for women and girls. The UN’s themes should get us thinking and talking, and there is no shortage of other topics. Missing and murdered indigenous women come to mind, and gender violence in general. We’re seeing cavalier attitudes toward date rape and sexual assault on Canadian college campuses and elsewhere. In a society that is still so atavistic, it’s more difficult to even start talking about more modern issues like gender disparity in politics and corporate boardrooms. However, there is hope. One day before International Women’s Day, dozens of men and women came together in Surrey for a TED Talks-inspired event called SheTalks. The aim is to have the event spread across Canada in order to spur change, bring awareness to gender equality and recognize strong women in the community through their personal stories. It shouldn’t be difficult, because those women we mentioned a few paragraphs back, mothers, daughters, sisters, etc., those are the ones for whom we’re advocating, too.

advertising, but not about old news like the SAFER program, which dates back to the 1970s. Clark’s government did a whack of advertising in the election year, 2013. Much of it was about the B.C. Jobs Plan, heavy on the hardhats and blueprintstyle graphics and arc welding and stuff like that. Then last year the government’s big ad campaign was around the teachers’ strike, and the payments to parents to help with child care while teachers demanded twice as big a raise as all the other unions. Education Minister Peter Fassbender is still bragging about the response rate for $40-a-day parental strike pay, which was snapped up by almost 100 per cent of eligible parents. This demonstrates that the government can indeed give away money with great efficiency, just by telling people how to get it. The NDP’s version of seniors’ advocacy is to find the most tragic problems from complaints coming into constituency offices, and use those to ambush the government. A popular choice is an elderly couple who have to be separated because their medical needs are too different to keep them in the same facility. TV news loves that one. People cry on camera and denounce politicians for being heartless, as if the health minister stayed up late plotting how to break their granny’s heart. Maybe this seniors’ advocate wasn’t such a bad idea after all. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

‘Yes’ for transit, A more direct Vaccination ‘yes’ for health transit solution proven Editor: As a public health physician and the Medical Health Officer for White Rock, I specialize in the health of communities. A big part of my job is working with the municipality and diverse groups in the community to advance public programs, policies and investments that reduce risk of disease and injury – and, ultimately, save lives. I’m writing today to urge White Rock residents to vote ‘yes’ in the transportation referendum. This month, you will receive a ballot in the mail asking if you support a 0.5-per-cent increase in the provincial sales tax in order to fund billions of dollars in transportation improvements. If the ‘yes’ vote wins, White Rock and South Surrey will get more frequent service, including buses to the Canada Line every five minutes during rush hour to reduce gridlock on the highways, an extension of the express bus from Newton to White Rock on King George Boulevard and 152 Street, 80 per cent more night-bus service for early morning and later into the night and a 30-per-cent increase in Handy Dart service. These improvements will enable thousands of people – fellow neighbours, working families, seniors, employees and other community members like you and me – to have practical choices in how to get around. It will allow us to integrate exercise into our busy lives, shrink our commutes, spend less time in gridlock and gain quicker access to the services, jobs, recreation opportunities, friends and family that keep us all healthy. Even if you never take transit, you’ll still benefit: better air quality, reduced risk of traffic injuries for all road users, including those who walk, cycle, take transit or drive, less congestion and a healthier, more connected community. In Fraser Health’s 2014 Healthy Aging report, only seven per cent of trips taken by seniors were by walking and only six per cent by public transportation. Many seniors fear losing their driver’s licence as they get older and tend to drive less. Improved active and public transit options ensure seniors can maintain their social connections and access needed services to keep them healthy. This is not a vote about TransLink, but a ‘no’ vote will delay critically needed transportation improvements. I will be voting ‘yes’ as someone who walks, cycles, takes transit and drives. I will be voting ‘yes’ as a physician who wants a healthier community. This month, you can make history with a ‘yes’ win, a win for critical investments in healthier transportation choices. Please vote. This is an opportunity we can’t afford to miss. Dr. Michelle Murti, Medical Health Officer for White Rock/South Surrey
Editor: It’s a stretch of the imagination when the local mayors want us to believe that by laying dual tram lines down the middle of our main thoroughfares and adding more buses will ease traffic congestion. The LRT, as recommended by the Surrey mayor, has to be built up from scratch and is another change of transportation when they could extend the existing SkyTrain. The rolling stock is already here along with all maintenance facilities, etc. and its tracks are clear of the traffic. It is not a rapid-transit system if you have to spend time at various transfer stations awaiting your next mode of transportation. If some of the Lower Mainland “fiefdoms” – all with their own mayors, councillors, city halls, fire dept., libraries, even police forces – were to amalgamate, the money saved could extend SkyTrain throughout the Lower Mainland with money to spare. G. Reid, Surrey
Editor: Re: Online question of the week, Feb. 12-19. Peace Arch News asks if all children should be vaccinated. There are a few – very few – who, for medical reasons, e.g. leukemia, cannot be vaccinated. That is one of the reasons why the rest of us should be vaccinated, to protect the lives of those who cannot. Many of us in the older generation experienced chickenpox, mumps, measles, whooping cough and the terror of polio. We thought these diseases banished, at least from North America, thanks to inoculations. Now we see them returning: in Disneyland, Ontario and, locally, in the Fraser Valley. The current craze of refusing vaccination goes back to Andrew Wakefield, who used falsified data to link the MMR vaccine with autism. Wakefield was discredited and struck off the medical register, but his misinformation continues to influence credulous people. Parents who “have a feeling”
or “aren’t convinced” or “are suspicious of pharmaceuticals” put their children and the rest of the community at risk, especially infants and the frail elderly. Providing more education does not seem to erase the current notion that non-scientific opinions have equal weight to facts supported by medical health professionals. Gullible persons base their convictions on religious or quasi-health leaders, on their friends’ beliefs or on Googled opinions that bolster their own views. Ideas are not a ‘fair game’; some ideas are true, some are false, some are unproven. The value of vaccination has been proven for over 200 years in the Western world. One defence against ignorance is to exclude unvaccinated people from as many public spheres as possible. Public schools should require proof of vaccination; parents should check the health policies of private schools. Publicly funded programs could also have vaccination policies. Naturopaths, chiropractors and other “alternative practitioners” should be prohibited from passing off nosodes as providing protection. Everyone should be vaccinated, except for the very few with medical exemptions. Marje Holmgren, White Rock

It’s not good enough to inform the city en masse all the items that are being shipped via rail, writes Patricia Kealy.
Boxcar contents the real threat Editor: I can’t believe that our mayor is still not being informed ahead of time as to the contents in the Burlington Northern trains travelling along our beautiful waterfront of White Rock and South Surrey, especially considering what happened last week at the Port in Vancouver, where a container of a very toxic chemical caught fire, sending billowing clouds of toxic black smoke for miles and caused people to be evacuated or to shut themselves into their homes for many hours. Vancouver threw their many resources at the problem, had the information on what the chemical was and had a hazardous-chemical response team to respond. I understand ships and their contents have to identify what they are shipping into the Port of Vancouver. Unfortunately for us, the railways do not have this requirement to inform our mayor, ahead of time, what they are shipping in each train before it comes along our waterfront. How on earth would our firefighters know what they have to deal with if they don’t have that information if a derailment or accident happens? It is not good enough to inform the city every few months all the items they are shipping. They need specific information on each car and what it is carrying. The lame excuse that terrorists might get this information is an insult to the integrity of our mayor
and his fire chief. Mayor Wayne Baldwin has repeatedly asked for information from BNSF as to what is being shipped on each train before it comes through, but his pleas have been falling on deaf ears. The following are a list of some of the 34 dangerous goods BNSF shipped through White Rock in 2013: chlorine; anhydrous ammonia; butylene petroleum gasses, liquefied; propane or butane ;sulfur dioxide; gas, oil, diesel fuel,heating oil; hexaldehyde; methanol; octanes; petroleum crude oil; acetyl chloride; hydrochloric acid; sulfuric acid; denatured alcohol; fuel oil; organophosphorus pesticides; hot asphalt; corrosive liquid, acidic, inorganic; etc. Scary stuff! Does BNSF have an evacuation plan or a response team for hazardous spills, or even enough insurance for the damage that a chemical spill could do to our pristine coast, not to mention the thousands of unsuspecting residents who could be affected? Is Transport Canada demanding this, or are they too busy bullying the city to put in pedestrian-crossing infrastructure, when it would be better for everyone if they just relocated the rail line to twin the freeway? It would a tragedy if this beautiful coastline, enjoyed by so many residents and visitors from all over the Mainland, were to be harmed. Patricia Kealy, White Rock

DNA evidence linked violent sexual assaults in Langley, Surrey
Man charged in attacks Monique Tamminga Black Press
A 22-year-old man is in jail facing multiple charges in connection to three violent sexual assaults that took place in the past seven months in Langley and Surrey. Kevin Adelmo Sharp has been charged with break and enter, two counts of sexual assault with a weapon, theft of a motor vehicle and assault causing bodily harm.  Police began investigating last October, after two similar attacks on sex-trade workers took place within five days. That led police to look into a prior sexual assault at a residence, which took place the previous May. Police say that on Oct. 3, at around 11:30 p.m., a Langley RCMP officer was flagged down by a woman in the 20100-block of 56 Avenue. The woman told the officer she had been picked up by a man and taken to a park near 198 Street and 53 Avenue, where they agreed to have sex in exchange for money. Police say that when they

Sharp is currently in custody and is due next in Surrey Provincial Court on June 8. “These charges are a direct result of the advancements in police forensic evidence gathering and analysis, along with the ability to work seamlessly across municipal borders,� said Langley RCMP officer in charge Supt. Murray Power. “Connecting allegations such as these to one person is a constant policing concern and was often difficult to do in years past. We are very pleased with the investigative result and will do all we can to support the victims as we move forward.� Sharp has a criminal record, but it does not involve attacks against women. In 2012, he spent 21 days in jail and was given two years probation for drug possession for the purpose of trafficking. Two weeks after the alleged attacks on the two prostitutes, Sharp fled from Langley RCMP in his car, driving dangerously. He was caught, sentenced to 30 days in jail and given a one-year driving ban.

A fire near Cloverdale last Wednesday looked like a bigger deal than it was, officials say. Fire crews were dispatched to the 16200-block of Highway 10 around noon March 4, after the occupant of an agricultural property reported a small fire had gotten out of control. “It was just a brushslash-grass fire,� Surrey deputy fire Chief Dan Barnscher said. “No buildings involved, no injuries to humans or animals.� Five tankers were used to truck water in to fight the fire, which took just over two hours to snuff. – Tracy Holmes
arrived at the park, the woman insisted the man pay first, which he refused. He then sexually assaulted her, pushed her out of his car and fled, nearly striking her with his vehicle, police allege. The second allegation took place five days later in Surrey on Oct. 7. The circumstances were similar, in that a sex-trade worker was also physically assaulted and robbed before the attacker fled, police said. The two October cases caused police to take a closer look at an incident on May 1 in the 20500block of 24 Avenue. Mounties say a woman awoke in the middle of the night and opened her sliding glass door to let her cat in, when she was grabbed by her neck and forced into her bedroom. She was attacked and sexually assaulted before the suspect stole her personal items and fled. Langley RCMP did not issue a public warning. In November, the Forensic Assessment Centre linked DNA taken from the victim with Sharp, leading to charges.

South Surrey resident says increased traffic causing noise
City orders fence removal Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
A tall blue fence that has served as a traffic-noise barrier for one South Surrey family for more than a year has been dismantled by order of the city. “They’ve told us we must take it down or they will do it for us,” said Ellen Neal. Neal, 83, and her son, Garrick, have lived at their 156 Street home for nearly 25 years. Up until a few years ago, it was a relatively quiet existence. Increases to traffic volume in the past five years, however – more than 1,000 vehicles per hour, at times, they say – changed all that, and the Neals decided to take things into their own hands to find some peace. Using thick, dense spruce, Garrick built an eight-foot-high, 32-foot-wide fence across the bulk of their front yard, painted blue to match their house. The fence served its purpose, muffling the offending noise sufficiently. Unfortunately, it was constructed without first looking into the city’s rules regarding such structures – which restrict front-yard fences to no higher than four feet (1.2 metres). “We… didn’t check,” Neal admitted, noting restrictions on hedges are in stark contrast. “You can have a hedge 40 feet high… but you cannot have a fence,” she said. Surrey bylaws manager Jas Rehal confirmed there are no limits to hedge heights. “Hedge heights are not restricted, we deal with them

Ellen Neal, 83, watches as her son, Garrick, dismantles the fence. when they become a sightline issue or a safety issue,” Rehal told Peace Arch News by email. The order to remove the fence arrived Feb. 14, with a 30-day time limit to comply. According to the Neals, only one neighbour ever complained about their fence; 12 others who were asked did not object. One woman who passed by as the fence was being dismantled commented that it was “a shame” they had to take it down. With the buffer gone, Neal said she hopes the city will act to address the traffic concerns. A traffic light at the intersection
of 156 Street and 20 Avenue would be “a big step forward,” she said, as would a four-way or light stop two blocks south, at 18 Avenue. However, Surrey’s transportation manager, Jaime Boan, said both 20 Avenue and 156 Street are collector roads for the area, meaning they are intended for a higher volume of traffic and – due to their use by emergency vehicles – not subject to traffic calming. If speed or collision issues are identified, the city would work with RCMP to address them, he said.

Q: Are You Plagued By Foot Pain or Plantar Fasciitis? Plantar Fasciitis is defined by inflammation A: of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue
connecting your heel bone to your toes. It can be caused by: overtraining, wearing improper shoes, standing for long periods of time, tight calf muscles, restricted or altered movement in the foot or ankle, flat feet or high arches, or excessive weight on the feet. Common Symptoms:
Fleas and Parasites?
A: Chiropractor
• Frequent foot cramps • Pain in the heel or arch of the foot, usually worse in the morning when you step out of bed or after a period of inactivity • Pain may be aggravated by standing, walking, or running • This condition may effect one or both feet • Tired and/or achy feet
A combination of Cold Laser Therapy to reduce pain and inflammation, soft tissue techniques like A.R.T., Home Stretching and mobilization techniques, foot adjustments and prescription Orthotics can be very effective in the majority of foot cases I see.

to the back of the heel. It can become inflamed due to overuse or inflexibility. An inflamed Achilles may feel tender and stiff. Causes: Running or over-exertion will tighten the calf muscle. Increasing Dr. Howard Green your level of activity or running hills too Podiatrist quickly can lead to inflammation of the tendon. If this activity is maintained, the inflammation can result in a partial tear of the tendon. Treatment: Stop any aggravating activities. Take an antiinflammatory 2 or 3 times a day. In some cases a 1 - 2 cm heel lift will reduce the tension in the tendon. If the pain persists after 10 - 14 days you should see your doctor, a sports-oriented physical therapist or podiatrist. Prevention: Stretching is essential. It is best to stretch your tendon after your activity. This way the tendon is warm and much more receptive to a slow, gradual stretch. Never stretch to the point of pain. Activity Restrictions: You do not want to run through Achilles tendonitis. Even the mildest strains can turn into a partial or complete rupture.
Contrary to popular belief we do not have a “flea and parasite season” as it does not get cold enough for parasites to completely die off. If you see 1 flea, that is only 5% of the infestation as roughly 50% of the eggs hidden and not visible. Did you know that 1 flea can lay up to 50 eggs per day? Fleas can also carry tapeworm - so treating for fleas alone won’t fix the whole problem. Puppies and kittens are born with worms so it’s also best to take them to the vet for deworming and an initial check up prior to bringing them home. Parasites control is also very important. Some parasites are zoonotic - meaning they can infect humans and make yourself or your family sick. When you protect your pets from Fleas and Parasite you protect your home. March is Flea and Parasite Control month. Call us today to find out more.

Home and PO Box addresses simply don’t look as approachable or professional for a business. Second Reason: Security and privacy.

Third Reason: With the purchase of a business address, you have access to services and facilities to make yourself and your business shine.

key points to remember to make this big step a successful one: • Get pre-approved. Ensure your credit rating doesn’t have any glitches that could set you back. Know how much Laura Thibeault you can honestly afford before writing Realtor on a home that’s out of your price range. Give yourself a cushion. • Use a professional real estate agent. The better agents know the market, will explain the process, help you avoid pitfalls and will have a team of other professionals such as builders, inspectors and repair people to provide service. • Try not to get emotional. Be careful about falling in love with something that won’t hold value over time. Watch out for shoddy construction. Location really matters! Think ahead and consider resale value for when you’re ready to move. It’s unlikely you’ll stay in your first home longer than five to seven years. • Remember closing costs. Home purchase also includes Property Transfer Tax, mortgage appraisal and legal fees, moving and insurance costs.

Staff Reporter
team of non-profit organizations has returned from a mobility project in Mexico, where more than $100,000 of aid was delivered to those in need. Semiahmoo Rotarians teamed up with their Renton, Wa. counterparts, as well as the Surrey YMCA Panorama Interact and Canadian Wheelchair Foundation, and travelled to Hermosillo, Mexico in January for the project. The three clubs, with financial help from the Peace Arch and Palgrave, Ont. Rotary clubs, raised more than $30,000 for the project. Later, they partnered with Hermosillo Mexico’s Pitic and Desierto Rotary Club to submit a grant application to Rotary
International. The group successfully secured $105,000 USD from the international organization to supply and deliver wheelchairs, walkers, canes, orthopedic aids and computerized musculartherapy equipment to Hermosillo. This is the third time in five years members of the Semiahmoo Rotary have visited the Mexican city. Longtime Rotarian Sandy Wightman has been a part of all three trips. “It grew out of our first trip,” Wightman told Peace Arch News. “Typically the trips are four days, three nights. “In that time you begin to develop a pretty strong personal relationship with Rotarians in Mexico who are working hand-inhand with you.”
Travelling to Hermosillo with has a population of nearly one the Rotarians were a handful of million – has a disproportionately selected high-school students, high percentage of children born who had their expenses partially with disabilities caused by disease, paid for by the Rotary. lack of adequate medical care “As part of the project, we try and other causes.

A unique computerized muscular-therapy device – called a Pablo Plus – which turns the physical therapy of children with disabilities into a computer game, was delivered to a childdevelopment centre. For Wightman, seeing the children who have received mobility assistance grow and thrive each time he returns due to the support they have been given is a huge part of the process. “It is very emotional, extremely emotional, but also very rewarding,” he said.

Happy Travels for 2015 THIS IS THE BEST TIME TO TRAVEL! Is the exchange rate changing your travel plans ? In fact, this is the best time to travel! Most tour companies would have priced their tours a year ago. At that time they would have anticipated a 10 to 15% exchange rate on the US. dollar. Many have been caught off guard with this more dramatic change of 25 to 30% rate. Hence you win!! You then look at your spending money. With Pitmar Tours, your transportation, accommodations and many meals are included. Your expenses are a few meals and your spending money. If you estimate about $500 on a two week trip then you are really only looking at an additional $75. Putting the exchange rate into perspective, there is really no reason to cancel or change your travel plans to the U.S. As far as shopping, you can be assured Teresa knows where the best bargains are.

Three years after John Payne retired, he went looking for a place where he could meet people with a similar background to his own: business. He found it six years ago, in the Probus Club of White Rock & South Surrey, and has been a member ever since. “Basically, it’s a social club for retired professional people and businesssmen,� the former manufacturing executive and current club vice-president explained. “The whole purpose of the club is more for socializing and camaraderie.� With Probus Centre Canada Inc. celebrating March as Probus Month, Payne said it is a fitting time to boost awareness of the local club, which is also looking for new members. “If retired people are bored or (want) to meet new friends, have some social interaction and camaraderie, we would welcome them,� Payne said. The local club, founded on Sept. 9, 1987, is Canada’s second-oldest. The first was formed in March of that same year, in Cambridge, Ont. There are now 235 active clubs across the country, and more than 4,000 worldwide. Locally, members of the mens’

Recent speakers have included White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin, and a professor from Simon Fraser University. At next week’s monthly meeting (9:30 a.m. March 11), the featured speaker is well-known eagle expert and South Surrey resident David Hancock. In April, White Rock Museum & Archives’ Hugh Ellenwood is lined up to present. Payne said various cultural and social activities are also organized for members, and are “well-
attended.� Last month, 15 of the 65 members and their wives went to see Side by Side at the Coast Capital Playhouse. Other destinations have included Boeing’s factory in Everett, Wash. Efforts are currently underway to set up a tour of Stave Falls. Payne said one thing the club doesn’t get involved with is fundraising. Men interested in the club can check it out for free once. After that, the annual cost of membership is $50. For more information, call 604535-9160, email drathborne@ telus.net or visit www.probusclubwhiterock-southsurrey.ca

Chiropractic management management of sports related injuries injuries in youth by Dr. Gregg Anderson South Surrey Chiropractic Clinic As a White Rock chiropractor, I see many sports related injuries in our youth of today. These injuries in this age group are a major concern for the chiropractic doctor. The good news is that chiropractic therapy is an excellent treatment for these individuals. We can divide sports into two types. We have contact sports such as hockey, football, lacrosse, and we have non contact sports such as tennis, golf and others. There is another group of sports that are intended to be non contact but there is incidental contact. These sports would be soccer, baseball and basketball. As a chiropractor, I would want to minimize the contact component of sports in the growing shilled. There are several reasons behind that comment. A growing spine and skeletal system has several growth centers located within the bone structure. These growth centers produce bone cells, which produce the bony growth. In girls, this process matures at age 14-16. In boys, it is a little later. These growth centers are very vulnerable to

h Surrey Chiro t u So Utilizing Spinal
stresses and strains. When overstressed or strained they can become inflamed and very painful. This can be disabling to the young athlete. These conditions require rest and chiropractic therapy. The risk is a permanent disability if not treated aggressively. This growth center is also weak structurally and significant force can cause fracture. These problems will not occur as easily after skeletal maturation. In a growing skeletal system the ligaments and muscles have not strengthened adequately to allow for significant contact. Strength will increase with age. Contact should be restricted until the age of skeletal maturation as muscles and ligament strength will “catch up” so to speak, with bony growth. Chiropractic care can include manipulation, adjustment, cold laser, soft tissue techniques and rehab techniques to influence the young athlete with respect to athletic injuries. Even without contact, injuries can occur in youth. These situations should be addressed by your family chiropractor.

Valley West ousted in first round of major-midget hockey playoffs
Hawks’ season ends with losses to Chiefs Rick Kupchuk Sports Reporter
Their season came to a quick end Sunday afternoon in Port Coquitlam. And while they could have achieved more, the Valley West Hawks aren’t going to call it a disappointing campaign after they were eliminated from the BC Hockey Major Midget
League playoffs in straight games. The Vancouver Chiefs swept the Hawks 7-5 and 5-0 to win their best-of-three quarterfinal series. “It’s not the ending we were looking for, but it would be a stretch to really call it a disappointment,” said Hawks head coach Jessie Leung. “The parity across our league is
incredible. “I was very proud to stand behind our players all season long. I wish them all the best as they move on in their careers.” Valley West spent much of the season challenging for a position near the top of the 13-team provincial league, but sputtered as the regular season wound down. Missing
players due to injury and the Canada Winter Games, the Hawks went 0-5-2 (won-lost-tied) over the last seven games of the season and dropped from a battle for third place to sixth in the final standings. They then drew the Chiefs for the first round of the playoffs, and couldn’t keep up i see page 19
Senior girls teams place 14th at AA, AAA levels
Southridge, Elgin wrap up provincials Rick Kupchuk Sports Reporter
The scoreboard indicated another loss for the Southridge Storm, but the Senior AA girls high school basketball team wasn’t too concerned about a 75-47 defeat to the Holy Cross Crusaders on the last day of the B.C. championships at the Langley Events Centre. There were other goals to strive for, and after three losses in four games in Langley, the Storm achieved those goals. “Once you get into the back side of the draw, it’s not necessarily about wins and losses,” explained Southridge head coach Paul Chiarenza. “It’s about getting kids into the game and having good experiences and I thought we did that.” With a lineup that included just one Grade 12 player, who was unable to play on the final day, the team will be back next year with higher expectations. And playing in this year’s provincial tournament will go a long way toward preparing for next season. “With Katie (Punia) out, it makes a big difference,” said Chiarenza. “But this team we put on the floor today is next year’s team. I was really happy with the way they battled, and every second they played out here (today) will make them excited to get back here.” Chiarenza was able to get all 12 players in the lineup onto the
court for Saturday’s final game of the season. Andrea Otamendi scored 12 points to lead the Storm, with Megan Galbraith adding nine, Emily Schenk netting eight and Melissa Vereschagin tallying seven. Steph Pak led the team in rebounding with seven. The Storm lost their first game of the tournament 75-60 to the Seycove Seyhawks on Wednesday, then fell 76-60 to the defending champion Lambrick Park Lions of Victoria on Thursday. Their lone win was a 66-40 decision Friday over L.V. Rogers of Nelson. “We definitely prepared well for the first-round game, and we played very well in that game,” said Chiarenza. “We went up against a team that shot the lights out against us, above 60 per cent.” The end result for the Storm was a 14th place finish in the 16-team tournament, the same placing achieved by the Elgin Park Orcas in the Senior AAA category. Elgin Park also won one of four games. Their run began with a 72-45 loss Thursday to Oak Bay of Victoria. They then were toppled 59-55 by the Claremont Spartans, also from Victoria, in a secondround game Friday. Elgin then defeated North Peace Secondary Friday before a 64-58 loss to Burnaby Mountain. Lisa Tabor, with 17 points, and Brooklyn Tidder, with 16, were the top Orcas scorers against Burnaby.

A letter to my community We Need a Do-over
in the relationship between public charities and the community People in our communities have demonstrated time and again they have a very generous spirit. They are more than willing to support those in need. However in recent years, the number of people supporting public charities has been declining. So what’s happening? People are looking for a more personal giving experience as well as more transparency on how their donations are being used. According to the Fraser Institute, the number of people supporting public charities has been in decline since 2006 and less than 22% of people in our province that file tax returns support public charities. Reports from the BMO Philanthropy Group and Imagine Canada indicate that Canadian donors are concerned that charities will not use donations wisely and spend excessively on administration. We need a “do-over”. Many of our public charities spend a significant amount of our donations asking us for money. Glossy brochures and magazines, full page ads, radio and television promotions, bill boards, lots of staff making calls to prospective donors, we can go on and on. In my view, a charity soliciting for donations is not engaging the community. Why does community engagement matter? I believe community engagement is all about inviting people to share their ideas, their opinions, their life experiences and professional skills. It involves accepting people based on who they are and not how much money they have or how well they’ re educated. Community engagement is an open and honest discussion between people about what serves the best interests of the community without fear of rejection or ridicule. I believe many of our charities need to redefine their relationship with supporters if they are to meet the ever increasing social needs of their community. An important first step should include an invitation to all volunteers and financial supporters to join as voting members. Voting membership should be available to anyone who is prepared to commit themselves to the constitution and by-laws of the charity they support. The rights of voting members should include the right to attend the charity’s Annual General Meeting, the right to participate in the board nomination process, the right to make proposals and direct questions to board members and staff at a meeting of the membership. Voting members are more likely to become volunteers, are more likely to be generous with their donations, more likely to become vocal advocates for the work of the charity in the community. Those in the community that choose not to become members but wish to be supporters would have greater confidence making a donation with the knowledge that charity leadership is accountable to an engaged voting membership. We need a strong vibrant charity presence in every community. I believe people will respond to charities that adopt community engagement as a core operating principle. If charities begin by embracing the talents, the experience and passion of those that live in the community, people will not only respond with their cheque books, but more importantly with their hearts. Sincerely,
John Block donor, volunteer, neighbour President, Donors Rights Society

injured while at the Canada Winter Games, the Hawks put forth their best effort against the Chiefs early in game one. Jeffrey Stewart of Surrey gave Valley West a 1-0 lead after one period, then after the Chiefs went up 2-1 early in the second, Stewart assisted on a goal by White Rock’s Matt Barberis, and then scored his second of the game for a 3-2 Valley West advantage midway through the game. The Hawks took a 4-2 lead into the third period with the
fourth goal from Trevor Ayre of Semiahmoo Minor Hockey, but then the wheels fell off. Vancouver scored four times in the first 10 minutes of the third period, then when the Hawks pulled to within one at 6-5 on a goal by Semiahmoo’s Logan Webber, added an empty net goal to seal the win. Sunday morning, the Chiefs scored three times in the first period and twice more in the third for the shutout victory. “We were really short staffed all weekend,� said Leung.
“We had players returning from injury right in time for game one and had other players playing when they otherwise wouldn’t be. “Barberis was a warrior for us. He came down with strep throat in the days leading up to our series, which took a bit of wind out of his sails.� While the current season is now over for the Hawks, the next will begin in just a few weeks with a spring identification camp May 1-3 at Langley Twin Rinks.

The Rockwoods neighbourhood, quality family living for many years to come Living is good at The Rockwoods. Located in the vibrant Fleetwood neighborhood in the city of Surrey - considered Metro Vancouver’s fastest growing city, the sought-after area has all the benefits of convenient living without sacrificing natural beauty. From shopping and schools to parks and recreation, discover and enjoy The Rockwoods - a popular collection of quality-built three-level townhomes. “The Rockwoods offers functional, affordable townhomes with great curb appeal at a central Fleetwood location,” says director of marketing, Peter Edmonds. “Most of our buyers are younger couples or families, looking for a well-located home at an affordable price.” In 2014, The Rockwoods was the best-selling townhome community in Surrey, which was the result of a combination of factors, including the community’s location in the increasingly popular Fleetwood neighborhood, the appealing contemporary exterior architecture, and functional two-bedroom plus den, three-bedroom and four-bedroom floorplans from 1180 sq. ft. to 1540 sq. ft. The multiple bedroom options make The Rockwoods homes perfect for growing families,

Rockwoods’ clubhouse, because having fun isn’t just for the kids. The spacious outdoor lounging deck is the perfect place for parties or casual entertainment, while the floor-to-ceiling glass gym is ideal for a sunny morning work out. Outside, each townhome harnesses the contemporary vibe of West coast living, using the appeal of timber and stonework for an incredibly balanced design. Granite countertops, wood laminate flooring, stainless steel appliances and an extended kitchen island in the corner suites – some over nine feet long, are just some of the features that prove the consideration and attention to detail put into these homes. That’s because Anthem Properties’ vision and dedication creates real estate that works and welcomes you home; from location, affordability, functionality and design. “Homebuyers can buy with confidence, knowing that we’ve crafted our homes to build on that reputation in the years to come,” says Edmonds. ”Our last phase just recently launched, so you can choose from a wide selection of homes now.” When a homeowner walks into a home at The Rockwoods, they can expect an environment that feels comfortable to live in, day in and day out, and also functions well; the finishes are well-appointed, the storage is ample and wellplaced, the layout has a great flow to it - all of these things add up a home that truly works. “Whether someone is up-sizing or down-sizing, The Rockwoods offers a quality-built home that will hold its value in the fullness of time.” Prices for these two-plus-den, three- and four-bedroom townhomes start at $299,900, with a $5,000 bonus available for a limited time. The Rockwoods’ presentation centre and display homes are open noon to 5 p.m. daily (except Fridays) at 1 – 8473 – 163rd St. in Surrey’s Fleetwood neighbourhood.

SHERWOOD, Christopher Bruce September 29, 1941- March 4, 2015 After a long illness with cancer, Christopher Bruce Sherwood, passed away on March 4, 2015. He was at home with his wife, Lynne by his side. Chris was born in Halifax, Yorkshire, England, to Mary and Herbert Sherwood. Upon the completion of his secondary education in 1960, he went to Imperial College in London, where he studied Chemical Engineering. Mobil Oil Canada hired him immediately after graduation in 1963. For the next few years, Mobil rotated Chris through the oil patches of Alberta and Saskatchewan. In the winter of 1965 in Swift Current, SK, he met teacher, Lynne Fennell. They were married March 25, 1967. As Mobil was slow in moving Christopher internationally, he took a job with a service company which sent him to the oil fields of Iran. A brief year later and he and his wife and baby, Kimberley Dawn were living in isolation in Cicuco, Colombia, S. America. Chris worked for a joint Colombia/Mobil/Texaco company. Chris always referred to this period of time as a wonderful opportunity to learn to use all kinds of oil patch equipment – normally not allowed- whilst working alongside animals such as howler monkeys and snakes! December of 1972, found the trio moving to Quito, Ecuador where Christopher worked alternately in that 2 mile high city or down in the jungle of the Oriente for the next 9 ½ years. During this period, his family increased with the birth of the second daughter, Shannon Alexandria, and then Christopher Morgan. His activities included playing and refereeing rugby, working back stage and acting with the local playhouse and helping to raise funds for a local charity. From 1982-1995, the Sherwood family lived in England and then in Scotland with Chris working as the manager of Texaco North Sea, based in Aberdeen. Latterly, Chris was involved in work in Russia. In 1995 Chris and Lynne transferred to Trinidad and Tobago where Chris worked as the manager of the Texaco based company in Trinidad. This was followed by a move to Texas in 1997 for the final two years of Chris’ working life. During their time in Houston, Chris was again heavily involved with projects based in Russia. Retirement in 1999 brought Lynne and Chris full circle to live in Canada. They retired to White Rock and more recently to South Surrey. Christopher was preceded in death by his parents Mary and Herbert Sherwood. He leaves his wife Lynne, his children: Kim, Shannon (Shaun), Morgan (Sarah), granddaughter Mackenzie and his sister Elizabeth (Taso) Marcandonatos. He is also survived by his niece: Joanne (Nick) Morgan and their children Anastasia and Hugo; his nephew Spiro (Rebecca) Marcandonatos and their child Isabelle. The family wishes to extend their gratitude to relatives and friends for all their support. They would also like to acknowledge all the exceptional care given to Chris by the medical community. For those inclined, in lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in Christopher’s name to The BC Cancer Agency Care + Research at: http://bccancerfoundation.com. There will be visitation at Victory Memorial Park (14831 - 27th Ave Surrey, BC V4P-1P3) on March 11th from 1:00-2:00pm and will be directly followed by a Celebration of Life Ceremony. Highlights of experiences with him: good, bad, funny or sad, may be left in Christopher Sherwood’s online guestbook at: http://obits.dignitymemorial.com/dignity-memorial/obituary. aspx?n=Christopher-Sherwood&lc=3745&pid=174335193&m id=6352466 Chris - Christopher - Pops - Papa S. - Grandpa...Until we meet again.
