Park-and-ride users unable to pay with coins at South Surrey lot

Credit-card meters stymie bus riders Alex Browne Staff Reporter

TransLink is checking into reports that pay-parking machines at the South Surrey Park & Ride now accept credit cards only.

In response to complaints passed on to Peace Arch News, TransLink mediarelations advisor Chris Bryan said that ongoing vandalism and theft at the lot

had prompted the parking contractor, Impark, to limit the number of machines accepting cash to one out of four.

Additional armoured plating had been installed on the cash-operated machine – one of a bank of three grouped together at the lot – he said, adding that similar measures have been taken at other park-and-rides in the Lower Mainland.

But in a check of the South Surrey lot Monday, PAN could not discover a cash-operated machine. Representatives of Impark could not be reached for comment at press time Monday.

South Surrey resident Evelyn Morris said that she and her family have been using the park-and-ride as cash customers since it was first established, but were dismayed to find that machines

would only accept credit cards when they arrived at the lot on Saturday.

“We were so choked about it we left,” she said, adding that having to find alternative parking meant they arrived late at an important event that evening.

“We didn’t want to take the chance that the car would be towed or we would be fined. It wasn’t worth the risk.” i see page 2

Firefighters carry the casket of Kevin Hegarty toward Peace Portal Alliance Church, following a procession for their longtime colleague Monday.

South Surrey firefighter ‘turned his battle into helping others’

Advocate for mental health mourned Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

More than 600 firefighters from across Canada gathered in South Surrey Monday to remember one of their brothers – a man who “cared about people, cared about his job, cared about helping people.”

“Today was a very sad day,” said Mike McNamara, following the private service at Peace Portal Alliance Church for his close friend and colleague, Kevin Hegarty.

The acting captain at South Surrey’s Hall 13 died March 1 after years of helping others on

the job deal with post-traumatic stress disorder, a condition he himself lived with.

“He turned his battle into helping others,” fire Chief Len Garis said of the 53-year-old father.

“That’s the kind of guy he was.”

In Hegarty’s honour, Garis pledged that more would be done to continue the firefighter’s work. He was an advocate for mental health, worked with the BC Burn Fund and assisted the Surrey Fire Fighters’ Charitable Society.

“He tried to help others with what he was suffering with,” Garis said. “That became him and he died from that. Kevin’s legacy will be

something that we can build together, so this does not happen again.”

McNamara said Hegarty’s death was a shock to all who knew him. In the days prior, Hegarty was “happy and jovial,” he said.

Following the service, firefighters lined either side of the route leaving the church, saluting a final farewell to Hegarty as his casket passed.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Surrey Fire Fighters’ Charitable Society, the Canadian Mental Health Association or BC Burn Fund “in memory of Kevin Hegarty” are encouraged.

New MLAs for Surrey and Richmond and adjustments to other electoral boundaries have been proposed before the 2017 provincial election in B.C. The B.C. Electoral Boundaries Commission recommended the changes after studying population data and touring the province last year. If approved, they will bring the number of MLAs in the B.C. legislature from 85 to 87.

Boundary shifts in fast-growing Surrey would produce two new constituency names, with Surrey South inserted between the existing Surrey-Cloverdale and SurreyWhite Rock seats.

The other new seat is RichmondQueensborough, taking in an area of New Westminster to balance the population of the existing constituencies in the region.

B.C. Supreme Court Justice Thomas Melnick said efforts were made to keep “communities of interest” together, while equalizing the populations of constituencies as much as possible. Even at that, the population of some urban constituencies is as much as 60 per cent higher than rural seats, where travel by the elected representative is much more time-consuming. i see page 2

White Rock changes to be discussed in open council

Trash backlash earns special meeting Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

Amid a flurry of backlash from residents about the privatization of garbage pickup, two White Rock city councillors have requested a special council meeting to discuss the controversial issue.

Couns. Helen Fathers and David Chesney formally requested last week that Mayor Wayne Baldwin call a meeting to “deal with issues raised by the community on the solidwaste decision.”

Fathers told Peace Arch News Monday it was necessary to hold a special meeting – scheduled for April 7 at 1 p.m. – because the next regular council meeting is not set to take place until April 13.

“I’ve been hearing from residents that they’re in the midst of signing contracts with waste-management companies,” Fathers said, noting the issue is time-sensitive and needs to be addressed soon.

At issue is the cancellation of city solid-waste pickup to multifamily residences and businesses set to take effect July 1, a decision that was first announced by the city in January.

Last week more than 100 condo residents rallied at city hall, calling for the city to rescind its decision to privatize garbage pickup.

Fathers admitted she was surprised at the public’s reaction to the decision – made at an in-camera meeting in December – but is happy to open up discussions on the matter.

“I think when you’re presented with

ideas and concepts and numbers, what I thought seemed reasonable at the time, when we hear back from the community that it’s unreasonable there is a disparity between the decision and the community,” Fathers said. “We have to listen to what the commuHelen Fathers nity is saying to us.”

Several residents credited with spearheading the March 23 rally met with Baldwin and the city’s chief administrative officer, Dan Bottrill, last week to discuss the issue. Another meeting between the group and the mayor was scheduled to

take place after PAN press deadline Monday.

While Fathers lauded the efforts by the group of residents and the mayor to discuss the issue, she pointed out no official changes can be made to the decision without a council vote.

“It was a council decision, David Chesney so it has to go back to council as a whole,” she said.

Tomorrow (Wednesday) the city is hosting a public information meeting on ‘understanding solid waste for multifamily complexes,’ 6:30 p.m. at the White Rock Community Centre, 15154 Russell Ave.

Eleven shootings in Surrey in March Kevin Diakiw Black Press

For the eleventh time this month, police are searching to find the perpetrators of a targeted shooting in Surrey.

On Friday at 4:45 p.m., Surrey RCMP were called to the food court at Central City Shopping Centre where a man was bleeding from apparent gunshot wounds.

He was initially unco-operative, but eventually let police take him to hospital.

Then police received reports of shots fired on Saturday at 8:40 p.m. in the 9400-block of 125 Street.

Police scanned the area and found a car believed to be involved in the shooting a block away parked in a driveway.

Residents of that home were arrested.

Also on Saturday, police received reports of an 18-year-old at hospital suffering a gunshot wound to the arm.

Police canvassed the parking lot of the hospital and found a car consistent with being in a gun fight.

That incident followed reports Saturday of shots fired into a home in North Surrey in the 10400-block of 128 Street. Police responded to find several bullet holes in the rear of the home. The occupant of the home is “wellknown” to police, Mounties say.

The weekend gunfire follows a shooting at 8:40 p.m. on Thursday, March 26, when Surrey RCMP were called to a report of gunshots in the area of 88 Avenue and 124 Street.

Police are seeking the public’s assistance and are asking anyone who may have witnessed any of these incidents to call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS(8477).

Local voters ‘need someone who’ll work on the ground here’: Liberal president

MP Hiebert defends sponsored travel Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Travel has once again proven a bugbear for South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale Conservative MP Russ Hiebert.

Hiebert – who was pilloried in 2010 for having the second highest taxpayer-funded travel expenses among MPs – has run into flak in the House of Commons for being the most frequent user of “sponsored travel” in past years.

But Hiebert – who spent more than six weeks outside Canada in 2014, making five trips, which included stays in Taiwan, Paris and an 18-day tour of Armenia, Iraq, Turkey and Kazakhstan – defends his travel as vital to his work as a member of the International Trade Committee and International Human Rights Committee.

“These are positive opportunities to advance our economic, trade and security interests and promote democratic ideals that Canadians care deeply about,” Hiebert said, responding to Peace Arch News’ questions by email from Ottawa.

Others have questioned the value of Hiebert’s travel, revealed in the annual report of Mary Dawson, Parliament’s conflict-of-interest commissioner. Vancouver Kingsway NDP MP Don Davies was quoted in various media as saying it is “hard to see any long-term payoff for Parlia-

ment or Canadians,” for Hiebert’s travel.

His 2012 record included ciation president Ginny Hasselfield said trips to France, Cambodia, Thailand, disclosures of Hiebert’s overseas travel Myanmar and Washington, D.C. record come as no shock, but suggested “I have found these visits to be an MP’s time might be better used invaluable opportunities to promote addressing important local issues.

Managing perception

I

f White Rock council’s plan was to bring community involvement to city hall in early 2015, one can say without hesitation: mission accomplished.

Council’s decision – made at a behind-closeddoors meeting late last year – to privatize garbage and recycling collection for multifamily residences and businesses July 1 is not, in itself, completely unexpected or misguided. Other cities have privatized such services, ensuring, of course, that civic officials are still ultimately responsible for managing the process.

In White Rock, however, the word “privatization” seems to be interpreted as putting the onus totally on taxpayers.

When the city announced this new policy publicly in January, residents may have been under the impression that they would be assisted with the transition. City staff told Peace Arch News as much when we wondered how this would go down.

In subsequent days – most visibly last week at a city-hall protest attended by more than 100 strata residents – it’s become obvious people ultimately aren’t receiving this message.

Instead, we hear concerns over unfair costs, lack of transparency and traffic and organizational nightmares.

Elected leaders would be wise to take ownership of their decision – publicly and decisively. Certainly, this is one of those matters that can be discussed in-camera, as it involves city staffing and negotiations. But once their minds were made up, it’s incumbent on these public representatives to explain themselves and their rationale.

If it was the right decision, say so proudly. If it was the wrong one – or at least a poorly planned execution – admit misjudgment and give this entire procedure a proper and public rethink.

Instead, thus far, many perceive ostrich-like city councillors and a mayor on the defensive.

While it’s easy for city councillors and the mayor to dismiss naysayers as political opponents, it might be rewarding to take a closer look at those who are most frustrated.

Certainly, there are the usual council critics among them, but there are also others, including some who have never before been politically active, perhaps even a few past supporters.

It’s still extremely early in this council’s fouryear term; there’s time to set things right. But there’s also time enough to build an army of opposition leading them into the 2018 election.

uncompensated resource extraction, which is now accepted as being contrary to British and Canadian law.

It was the blunt-spoken Pierre who first acknowledged this hasn’t worked. Some of the 50 First Nations stuck at the treaty table have borrowed too much to go on, she said last year, calling for an “exit strategy” that forgives debt.

The probability of the B.C. government making this decision without talking to the federal paymaster is exactly zero.

I’m told the province’s clumsy timing had something to do with Ottawa’s late demands.

I asked Clark if her plan to settle land claims faster was anything like the 2009 attempt by Gordon Campbell’s deputy minister Jessica McDonald to negotiate a province-wide deal declaring aboriginal title. Clark sidestepped the question, saying only that the 150 B.C. First Nations not at the treaty table need a say and a solution, too.

(McDonald now faces a similar legal gridlock as the Clark-appointed CEO of BC Hydro, trying to build the Site C dam.)

Pierre, a veteran administrator from the Ktunaxa Tribal Council in the Kootenays, made a prophetic statement when her term as chief commissioner was extended three years ago. She said if Ottawa isn’t prepared to give federal negotiators a realistic mandate on compensation and sharing of salmon rights, they should “shut ’er down.”

Her advice may have been heard after all.

Abrogation of responsibility Editor: Re: Condo residents trash city’s decision, March 24.

I am writing city hall to appeal for a change of heart on the waste pickup and recycling issue.

The public has certainly not yet been given any credible reason for this radical shifting of responsibility.

I am led to believe the council decision was unanimous, so it should be relatively easy for them to explain their reasons for making it.

There is an expectation that local government look after common areas of need: fire, police, recreation, parks, library, roads, bylaws, etc.

Oh yes, and waste management.

Our community elects a mayor and council – and pays them – to manage these issues on our behalf. Surely it is not unreasonable to ask that they consult us if they believe there should be a change in their job description.

I invite the mayor and each of the councillors to meet with their public, explain the reasons for the decision, and listen to their concerns.

Hopefully they will each be big enough to revisit the issue, if those reasons do not satisfy their citizens.

I, for one, don’t wish to accept a responsibility for which I am paying someone else to manage.

Vern Coulter, White Rock

Clearing the area Editor: It seems another careless act towards Mother Earth has occurred as the old, majestic trees at North Bluff Road near Johnston Road were chopped down in, we suppose, the name of progress.

Further evidence, we’re afraid, of a society having lost its moral compass and spiritual way.

Has the local government represented the common good of the area here? Have the developers stopped to consider the very real effect this has on the community?

Has the almighty dollar ‘paved the way’ yet again in this crass decision?

If the plans couldn’t include a tree-line frontage, could the development have proceeded elsewhere? Hint: It always can and always does.

As Ontarians – ones just returned from eight years in and around White Rock and Crescent Beach – we’re surprised ‘Beautiful B.C.’ allowed this to happen.

Our mother lives in the highrise across the road. She loved and admired those trees every day.

We all did. Let’s hope that, at the very least, there was a respectful ceremony beforehand to honour their long life and pure, giving spirit to all living creatures.

Lastly, this actually “went down” on St. Patrick’s Day: the Day o’ the Green! De’re’s just sumptin entirely wrong in dat.

Seniors have already paid Editor: Re: Tax breaks ‘unfair,’ March 19.

So Ontario economist Harry Kitchen has jumped on other finance experts’ notion that there are enough wealthy senior retirees that the other

not-so-wealthy seniors don’t need any financial breaks.

He thinks grants and “special” aid are the answer for all low-income earners.

His expert opinion is flawed so many ways; let’s hope he doesn’t become a finance government soldier, or the war on seniors will leave us little disposable income to feed into the city.

Edward Rutledge, White Rock Q The article on the Institute for Research and Public Policy is most disturbing, as economist Harry Kitchen suggests that all discounts seniors receive should be abolished.

He argues that all seniors, including those retired, should be paying the same taxes and fees as everyone else.

He states seniors are effectively being subsidized by those under 65.

May I suggest seniors have paid the same taxes and fees of which he speaks for many years, and by virtue of their age, have already contributed

the most of anyone. Any discounts that exist have been well earned.

These same seniors – most of whom are on drastically reduced incomes of 60-70 per cent, and the majority requiring savings to merely survive, in a climate of increasing costs everywhere – are already being penalized. Kitchen is suggesting they suffer further financial damage in their elder years. Where is the compassion for the citizens that have contributed the most to the Canadian economy over many, many years?

The article uses as an example the elimination by BC Ferries of the seniors discount a year ago, but fails to state the passenger count has been dramatically reduced since then.

Are seniors not to enjoy some minor discounts after contributing so long? If Kitchen is not already 65 and receiving these discounts, he does not really know the ramifications of their proposed disappearance.

Giving faster traffic unfettered access to the left lane will make driving a safer experience for all, writes Ann Harris.

Ego the driving force of lane hogs Editor: Re: Left-lane laws not necessary, March 19 editorial.

Perhaps you are right that “on the long list of transportation problems facing residents,” it may not be one of the biggest and that proposed legislation may be a “misplaced priority.”

However, left-lane hogging is a very real problem – and particularly in B.C. You suggest this problem “appeared in our rear-view mirror from out of nowhere,” but that is a big part of the problem. Left-lane hogs obviously do not look in their rear-view mirrors. In fact, these people are usually driving in “la la land”. They are unaware, inconsiderate people pointing their vehicles ahead with an enormous sense of entitlement. They are not cautious drivers.

A cautious driver makes an effort to be aware of surrounding traffic conditions and to react accordingly.

A cautious driver checks the rear-view mirror and, seeing another vehicle coming up behind, calmly moves over. A cautious driver does not take it as a personal affront that another chooses to travel faster.

I wish to make it clear I am not one of the “fast and furious,” nor a “road-rager,” nor a “tailgater.” I am proud

of my perfect driving record since 1972.

In fact, I love driving and have driven extensively in Washington, Oregon, France, England and Scotland – all with a manual transmission where you actually drive, not just point the car. It is a particular pleasure to drive in Europe. There is no apparent speed limit on the motorways but everyone knows the rules of the road and concentrates on what they are doing. Everyone moves over when a faster vehicle comes up behind. It does not threaten their egos to do so.

“Left-lane hogging” is a big problem on B.C. highways and is only tolerated because most people are polite and do not give in to “road rage.” Perhaps driving schools could emphasize it with young drivers, perhaps more signs “gently reminding motorists to keep right” would suffice or perhaps legislation is actually necessary.

Undoubtably more awareness is necessary. Think about what is going on around you. Look in the rearview mirror. If a faster vehicle is approaching – move over! Your ego will survive it.

This simple step would make driving B.C.’s highways a safer and more pleasant experience for all.

Peace Arch News lauded for content, ‘eye-catching’ layout

PAN wins pair of awards Peace Arch News has been named one of the top community newspapers in Canada, following its earlier second-place title in North America by the Local Media Association.

Friday, the 2015 Canadian Community Newspapers Awards were handed out, with PAN finishing third in newspapers of circulations 25,000 and higher.

The Canadian Jewish News in Ontario and St Albert Gazette in Alberta won first and second place, respectively.

Earlier this month, PAN

learned it had placed second in the Michigan-based LMA’s 2014 Newspaper of the Year contest’s largest-circulation category, behind The Newmarket Era in Ontario, and ahead of thirdplace finisher St. Louis American in Missouri.

LMA judges had this to say about Peace Arch News: “Editorial: Content is excellent – great mix of local and national news with an array of topics.

Terrific use of colour photos.

“Typography: Eye-catching layout on front page - colour photo preview of content buried

in the middle of the paper is an excellent incentive for readers to look past the front page.

“Advertising: Ads are colourful and logically placed.”

Other Lower Mainland newspapers to receive strong finishes in the LMAs includes two in the 22,501-37,500 circulation category: first-place Chilliwack Progress and third-place Abbotsford News, both sister papers of PAN owned by Black Press.

The contest was judged by the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University in Chicago, Ill.

Debt service ratios to surpass 50 per cent in White Rock

Housing prices set to soar Jeff Nagel Black Press

this will not last,� the report said. “Unaffordability will steadily radiate outwards.�

Burnaby, Richmond and White Rock had house debt service ratios of around 30 per cent in the early 2000s, it says, but that hit 46 per cent in 2014 and is projected to rise to between 60 and 70 per cent in 2030.

Surrey’s ratio is projected to climb from 39 to 48 per cent in 2030 and Langley Township’s would rise from 35 to 43 per cent.

By 2030, payments for a typical North Vancouver home will consume 100 per cent of income, compared to 73 per cent now,

and the average Vancouver home will hit 108 per cent, up from 76 per cent. “The average household will be resolutely priced out of the urban market,� it says.

While detached house affordability climbs out of reach, condos will be increasingly in fashion, but they, too, are getting more costly.

Vancouver condos should rise in price from an average of $407,500 now to $810,500 in 2030, the report says.

Condos will be unaffordable in Vancouver by 2018 and in Burnaby by 2023, it projects.

Home prices will increasingly soar beyond what is affordable to most families – not just in Vancouver itself, but in other Lower Mainland cities as well.

That’s the outlook in a new report from Vancity Savings that projects the average home price in Vancouver will exceed $2.1 million by 2030 and require more than 100 per cent of average household income to pay the mortgage.

In 15 years time, Langley will be the only community in Metro Vancouver with affordable real estate, according to the report, titled Downsizing the Canadian Dream: Homeownership Realities for Millennials and Beyond.

Elgin Park students ‘dive in and work’ during service trip

ly to Central America. Arrive. Help build a school and bond with the kids. Come home with memories, accomplishment and coffee.

That’s how 16 students from South Surrey’s Elgin Park Secondary spent their second week in March, on a spring break that was anything but.

“Mixing cement by hand and shovelling and carrying buckets of sand and rocks is not as easy it seems,” said Grade 11 student Molly Ashley.

“And in 36 Celsius, everyone was in the same boat, going to a different country, having an idea of what it’s going to be like – but, to be completely honest, none of us really knew what to expect.”

The students – ages 16 to 18 – were joined by three teacher chaperones on Me to We’s service trip to Managua and Los Campos, Nicaragua. Together, they laid the foundation for a Grade 2 classroom – a project essential to children’s education in Los Campos, where the community has already built three classrooms and hopes to have the whole school finished soon.

Currently, the closest school is a fourkilometre walk from where Elgin’s students were building.

“Without this school, children from preschool to Grade 1 and older would have to walk to school by themselves, crossing over a busy highway with no street lights,” said chaperone Courtney O’Connor, a teacher at Elgin Park. “As a result, for safety, many of the kids just don’t go to school.”

The build took four days.

The Me to We crew spent most of its time painting, making the cement and logging materials to the site, while the children were learning and reading in the middle of the action.

“Seeing it all done though really made it worthwhile,” said student Asia Dobson, 18.

“The community was incredible, for the simple reason that is was exactly that – a community.”

Colin Borst, 29, who taught at Elgin until last year, was one of the chaperones, along with his wife, Melissa. He organized the

trip a decade after his own service trip as a student.

“I went on a similar service trip to Mexico when I was in Grade 12, and I haven’t been the same since,” he said, noting he has been aching to return to Latin America.

Me to We’s program in Nicaragua provided the perfect opportunity.

“I definitely felt anxious at times, as I considered the weight of taking 16 students across international borders, into communities that do not have the comforts of home,” he said. “But my goals and potential benefits from the trip outweighed

these worries.

“Los Campos is a very special place. Life in this community is clearly not easy, but the people always have smiles on their faces.”

“The town of Los Campos was the happiest people I have seen, even with having so little,” echoed Ashley. “The community would do whatever is needed to put others ahead of themselves, even if it meant going without.

“It proved to me that it’s not always those with the most that are the happiest.”

The rural town was “like nothing I had ever seen before,” she said. “From horses, pigs and chickens roaming the streets, to children cleaning themselves off in their front yards.”

Borst said he was surprised at how eager the

students were to “dive into the work” at hand.

“They persisted through intense heat and very taxing jobs,” he said. “Taking breaks to play soccer and sing with the school kids was a constant source of motivation.”

The group also visited a pineapple plantation, just a 15-minute stroll from the job site.

“On the walk, we met many other parents of children we had been interacting with all week,” Borst said. “They were all so thankful for our contribution to their community’s project.

“It was overwhelming… I began to grasp the real implications of our work, for the people of the community.”

Gone for eight days, the group didn’t have much free time in Managua, where they stayed. But they did have a chance to visit Granada, and tour a coffee plantation that overlooked the historic city.

“The whole entire trip is going to stick with me,” Dobson said. “The people there understand what it means to really be not just happy, but content. They are so proud of where they have come, that anything else is just gravy.

“I love that view on life.”

Hayley Grant speaks on epilepsy at Hall’s Prairie Elementary

Students mark Purple Day Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter

For the fifth year in a row, Earl Marriott Secondary student Hayley Grant spoke at Hall’s Prairie Elementary on Purple Day, as a way to raise awareness of epilepsy.

Grant, 15, lives with the condition – and the seizures that come as a result – and has been speaking publicly on Purple Day since she was a student there.

Purple Day – which was Thursday – was started in 2008 by a nine-year-old Nova Scotia girl named Cassidy Megan in order to bring awareness to epilepsy.

At Thursday’s presentation at Hall’s Prairie – one of the school district’s smallest schools – many students and teachers wore purple to show their support.

During the presentation, which began with a short video explaining how to help someone who suffers an epileptic seizure, Grant explained her condition and shared her own experiences – including that her first seizure occurred when she was just one-and-a-half years old, during Christmas dinner.

Epilepsy is not a disease, she explained, but rather a disorder caused by abnormal electrical activity in one’s brain, causing it to “overheat.”

After Grant’s presentation, the young, inquisitive students from Hall’s Prairie were given the opportunity to ask questions of Grant and her mother, Jacqueline Sephton – everything from “Can you tell if you’re about to have a seizure” to “how many seizures have you had?”

Outdoor chapel to host Easter service St. Mark’s Anglican Church will host an Easter Eve service April 4 at 7:30 p.m. at its newly refurbished outdoor chapel.

The chapel, originally consecrated by Archbishop Douglas Hambidge in 1984, served the St. Mark’s

congregation for 15 years before rotting benches and fallen trees rendered it unusable.

In 2013, a refurbishing project got underway at the chapel and a new altar and benches were constructed.

The Saturday evening service

will be held rain or shine, and is one of several Holy Week events held at the 12935 20 Ave. church in celebration of Easter.

Peninsula seniors learn the ins and outs of social media

Embracing the modern way of connecting Melissa Smalley

S

Staff Reporter

ince first launching online more than a decade ago, Facebook has gained more than a billion users worldwide and has become a familiar name in many households.

While social-media outlets such as Facebook and Twitter quickly become second nature to many young people, for the older generation, understanding the ins and outs of these websites can be complicated.

Signing up for the social media sites came with its share of issues at first for Peninsula resident Dennis Anderson, who is now a regular Facebook and Twitter user.

“I find that it’s better now, but it was very difficult at first to control who had access (to my profile),” Anderson said of his early experiences with Facebook. “Now it’s just family and friends, and it’s much easier to use.”

Anderson, 72, said he enjoys sharing photos and videos with his Facebook contacts, made up of family members and friends from as far away as England. He said the social-media site is a great way to stay up-to-date with what his children and grandchildren are up to.

Melissa Smalley photo

Dennis Anderson (right) uses his iPad to check out his Facebook profile with fellow computer enthusiasts Syd Leung and Mary Ponsford.

“It’s almost scary, that I can see what my 29- and 30-year-old children are up to, and sometimes I wish I didn’t,” Anderson told Peace Arch News with a laugh.

While some of Anderson’s generation may not be familiar with modern computer technology, he has been a regular computer

user for close to 30 years. A few years ago, he started using an iPad and now teaches a volunteer class at Kent Street Activity Centre on how to use the tablet device.

While he describes the technology as “fantastic,” he noted that he encounters plenty of apprehension while teaching

fellow seniors how to use an iPad. “The biggest thing is the fear itself, of making a mistake,” he said. “There’s so much out there about viruses or credit card and banking issues, (the participants) are a little fearful of that.”

However, Anderson noted there are plenty of ways to keep your information safe, including proper handling of passwords and using discretion online. The benefits of staying ‘connected’ online far outweigh the potential drawbacks, he said.

“My dad is 95, and he uses a computer for email and pictures,” Anderson said, noting his fathers’ hearing loss makes telephone conversations difficult. “The fantastic thing is, he communicates with his entire family, his kids and grandkids, by email, almost daily.”

With an increasing interest among the older generation of Peninsula residents to learn about Facebook and other socialmedia platforms, the Kent Street Activity Centre has started offering courses to educate interested members on how to use these tools.

Attendees learn the basics of both Facebook and Twitter, according to instructor Dunia Tozy, who said the › see page 17

Non-Invasive Osteoarthritis Treatment with Laser

Cold Laser Therapy reduces pain by helping the body to naturally repair tissues affected by osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is generally caused by progressive wear Cold Laser Therapy is also referred to as: and tear on our joints that results in the breakdown of • Low Intensity Laser Therapy (LILT) Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) our joint cartilage. When cartilage breaks down, the • • Near-infrared irradiation bones start to grind against each other, creating photobiomodulation (NIR-PBM) inflammation in the joint. These changes are what cause painful symptoms. The degenerative process itself may not be painful, however the resulting inflammation and irritation to surrounding muscles, ligaments and tendons is typically what causes uncomfortable and sometimes debilitating symptoms.

How Does Cold Laser Therapy Work?

The Bioflex Cold Laser Therapy system is a three step process, each using a different wavelength of light. The first step uses a red light pad at 660nm, which gets absorbed by the cells of the skin and underlying superficial layers of muscle.

The second step uses an infrared light pad at 830nm, reaching deeper into the muscle layers, as well as the tendons and ligaments. The third step includes an infrared laser wand at 840nm that is placed specifically on the affected areas by a trained laser therapist. This light is very concentrated and targets the deepest structures, stimulating healing in and around ligaments, cartilage, joints, and even bone.

CARTILAGE

The various depths reached by Cold Laser Therapy

How Cold Laser Therapy helps Osteoarthritis Cold Laser Therapy breaks the cycle of degenerating cartilage by delivering light-based energy to cells of tissues that have been affected by osteoarthritis and are not healing fast enough, or at all. This energy stimulates specific chemical reactions in the cell to quickly speed up the healing process, resulting in reduced inflammation and the elimination of pain.

The light energy delivered by Cold Laser Therapy helps the cells to naturally overcome and stop inflammation. This reduces arthritis pain, often after relatively few treatments. More importantly, this also allows the cells to undertake the next phase of repair and healing. Especially the infrared light energy activates and promotes the natural cartilage growth process by increasing the production of cellular energy (ATP). It also stimulates the bone cells to replicate and produce new healthy bone tissue. And it increases the ability of blood cells to deliver oxygen and nutrients required for healing of the affected cells.

White Rock resident solves chronic knee pain and avoids surgery Ms. M had suffered for a long time from osteoarthritis in both of her knees, leading to increasingly debilitating levels of pain. She was having great difficulty walking for longer periods of time as well as going up and down stairs. Sleeping through the night had also become a problem, because the pain would wake her. It came to be normal for her to rely on painkillers to help her function on a day to day basis. us Over the years, she had undertaken numerous therapies and treatments to stem the tide of increasing pain without much success. Even fullll knee replacement surgery on her left knee onlyy helped to a degree, leaving her with significant nt discomfort in the replaced knee even well after er the expected post surgical healing time.

After Ms. M visited Solaj Wellness Centre to o learn more about Cold Laser Therapy she e decided that she would give it a try on her right knee (the knee that had not yett been replaced), in the hope that she might be able to avoid knee replacementt surgery on that knee.

After the first four treatment sessions, Ms. M experienced significantly lesss discomfort in her knee and she could finally sleep throughout the night withoutt being woken up by pain. And after just two weeks of treatment sessions, she e stopped taking pain medication altogether. Having had to take painkillers on a dailyy basis for years and putting up with their unpleasant side effects, being able to discontinue her daily painkiller regimen was another true milestone moment for her.

As she progressed through her treatments, Ms. M’s knee continued to show improvement. Soon she was able to take longer walks with her husband along the beach. She even started to ride the recumbent bike to help regain strength in her knee. After 15 treatments over an 8 week period, Ms. M was able to stop her treatments. She had virtually no knee pain, had continued to stay off pain medication and was able to become more active than she had been in years.

Conditions Treated: Osteoarthritis Hand and Wrist Pain Internal Scar Tissue Rotator Cuff Injury Neck Pain Back Pain Knee Pain Plantar Fasciitis Achilles Tendonitis After Surgery or Injury Golfers or Tennis Elbow (Epicondylitis) and other musculoskeletal conditions

When Ms. M went back to Solaj two months after her last treatment for a check-up and “refresher” treatment (commonly suggested for those with significant arthritis), she continued to have no pain in her knee and she has been able to keep up with her new, increased level of physical activity.

A while later, Solaj received a message from Ms. M:

THIS IS THE LIFE

Social media course starts April 7 › from page 15 Facebook course will cover how to open an account, how to add friends, how to change your photos, how to post statuses and how to control your privacy.

“Privacy seems to be one of their main concerns,” Tozy said of students she has taught in the past. “We also cover how to handle day-to-day maintenance of their profiles.”

Since first teaching the socialmedia-for-seniors course last summer, Tozy said, the reception has been great and attendance has been increasing.

Although some aspects of the course can be “frustrating” for some, she said the outcomes are almost always positive.

“The majority who take the course feel that it’s very useful and they start to want to be more involved,” she said.

For many delving into the world of social media, the desire to stay connected with family is their main motivation, Tozy said.

However, she has also seen business owners who want to set up Facebook pages and Twitter accounts for their business to further their reach into the

SENIORS

community. Whatever the reason, Tozy said, it’s inspiring to see older adults embracing technology and engaging in social media.

“It’s proven to have a positive impact on mental health and well-being among elderly individuals,” she said. “It also gives a sense of belonging to a community and creates a feeling of closeness to their families.”

The Facebook and Twitter course at Kent Street Activity Centre is a two-session course that starts April 7. For more information, call 604-541-2199.

“I was up against some guys with a lot of experience.”

A 32-year veteran of judging, Carroll has been an FIG (Federation Internationale de Gymnastique) judge since 1993 and has worked several major events, the first of which was the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Victoria. The 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland was his third assignment to that event, having also worked the 2010 games in New Delhi, India.

He has also judged at the Elite Canada, Western Canada and national championship competitions since 1989, as well as several Canada Winter Games events.

He began by judging provincial championships and BC Winter Games events.

Two years ago, he added another major event to his resume.

“My first ever worlds was in 2013 in Belgium,” he said. “It was kind of exciting to be out on the floor, and judging the best guys in the world.”

After three decades, he still has one event to strive for.

“I have an aspiration to do the Olympics, it’s the only one I don’t have,” he said.

“They’ve picked the judges for 2016, so it won’t happen then. But I’m hopeful for 2020 in Tokyo.”

This weekend, the men’s national team will demonstrate the paralympic sport at the Richmond Olympic Oval. Popoff, a right-arm amputee who grew up in Surrey, lives in Langley.

Four football players from Earl Marriott Secondary, plus head coach Michael MackayDunn, took part in B.C. Senior Bowl activities earlier this month.

Quarterback/wide receiver Chris Ridley, Harman Dhillon, Anvir Grewal and Evin Sandhu all took part in this year’s Senior Bowl camp, in which the top Grade 12 players get expert tutelage from some of the province’s top football minds, including BC Lions general manager Wally Buono and former star receiver Geroy Simon – both of whom are Surrey residents – as well as current Lions Travis Lulay and Adam Bighill.

The camp started at the Lions’ training facility in Surrey, and culminated in a scrimmage – in which Ridley starred as a receiver – at McLeod Park in Langley.

Ruth was shaped by the prairies.....the irrepressible dreams of the vast sky and the stolid dependability of the limitless ground. Her spirit was the pervading beauty of the two together. The trophies of Ruth’s life are the unseen legacies of her compassion and generosity.

REID, Elva

May 11, 1930 - March 25, 2015 Our astonishing mother Elva Reid joined our loving father Jack Reid in heaven on Wednesday, March 25, 2015.

She was 84. She was born in Toronto, ON, on May 11, 1930, to Ralph Stanley Plant and Ruth Beatrice Hetherington.

She grew up in Vancouver BC, graduating from McGee High School and the University of British Columbia.

A lifelong educator, Elva returned to UBC graduate school in 1964 and earned her Masters Degree in Early Childhood Education (ECE). Jack and Elva moved to Pasadena, CA, in 1967 where they lived for eighteen years.

While simultaneously raising her 3 kids and leading the Hastings Ranch Nursery School as Director, Elva completed her classwork and turned in her PhD dissertation to her advisors at the Claremont Graduate University. Her PhD research proved that parents who get involved with their kid’s education early on stay involved and end up becoming better parents.

In 1985 Elva and Jack returned to BC, and settled at Crescent Beach. Elva was a friend, a mother, an aunt, a grandmother, a sister, a partner, a mentor, a confidant, a gardener. She had a razor sharp intellect, was inquisitive, funny, adventurous and loved everyone she met. She led fundraising and was central in creating the Tong Louie Surrey YMCA, ran the Tiny-Y Pre School, taught new ECE teachers at Douglas College and at UBC, was active in her PEO group, the White Rock Canadian Federation of University Women, the Surrey Historical Society, Kwantlen College Third Age Learning, was a greeter at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics, and a huge supporter of the Crescent Beach Swimming Club. She was on the board at Alexandra Community House, and was a long time gardener at the Dunsmuir Garden. She is survived by her three children and eight grandchildren. Son Mike (Clare), Matt, Jackie, Mary Kate, Tom; Son Al (Dolly), Madison, Bailey, Simon; Daughter Katie (Mark), Aaron; as well as her brother Albert Plant of Toronto and Sandra Gilmor of Wenham, MA. She is predeceased by her brothers Paul and Keith Plant and her sister Barbara Plant. Services will be at 3:00 PM on Saturday, April 4th at Crescent United Church, 2756 127th Street, Surrey (Crescent Heights). In lieu of flowers, please send contributions to the YMCA or the Crescent Beach Swimming Club or the Alexander Neighborhood House in her honour.

Bob celebrated his 90th birthday in February and left this life on March 21st, with family members at his bedside and surrounded by love as he made this final journey.

Bob was born on February 15, 1925, in Killarney, Manitoba. He was the fifth of nine children born to Harry and Mabel Way. Two of his siblings died in infancy, so there were seven children during his childhood years. His youngest sister, Jean Galbraith is now the sole surviving member.

Life was hard for the “Way” family during the depression years and the family moved between Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Bob wrote about these years and noted that, “he had as good a childhood as any raised in a village on the Saskatchewan prairies during the dry years”. While his roots were in the prairies, the bulk of his life was lived on the West Coast, in White Rock, Richmond and South Surrey.

Bob joined the RCAF in October 1942, at the age of 17 ½, and was trained as an airframe mechanic. He spent 3 ½ years working on planes. Most of his time was in Canada, but he did have a short stay overseas at Biggin Hill, in Kent, England.

He made good friends in the RCAF and enjoyed the excitement of overseas travel.

Life after the war was again difficult. There were too few jobs. Bob tried his hand at a number of occupations, working in the fruit industry in Kelowna, running a hamburger, hot dog, ice cream and pie shop at White Rock beach, working in a mattress factory and for a tile business, before he found work with the Hudson’s Bay training program in Edmonton, Alberta. This was the beginning of a long career in retail. Starting with HBC, he worked in Edmonton, Nelson, BC, and Pine Falls, Manitoba. Then he moved the family to British Columbia to be close to family and found work with Collister’s department store in New Westminster, followed by Field’s Stores (after Collister’s burned down) then working at head office for Field’s Stores as they expanded throughout BC and Alberta. At retirement his career came full circle as Field’s Stores merged with The Bay and he left with strong ties to both businesses. His career in retail spanned 34 years and he could never enter a store without straightening clothes on their hangers. He always liked to go to the stores and to “shop”, or give advice on what looked good. You could take the man out of retail, but you couldn’t take retail out of the man.

Bob was blessed to have two long term marriages: to Isabel (nee Kendall) 19481985; to Helen (nee Ullrich) 1987 to present. He enjoyed gardening, church activities and travel. Family was everything to Bob. He celebrated the birth of his four children; Gayle, Sandra, Donald and Heather. When he and Helen married, he enjoyed the company of Lowell and Donna (stepchildren). He was blessed with five grandchildren.

Mourning his death are his loving wife, Helen, children, stepchildren and grandchildren. Gayle Way, Sandra (Chris) Foster, Don (Lonnie) Way, Heather Way (Ben Leier), Lowell (Marnie) Ullrich, Donna (Simon) Austin, Jes Way, Mike Way, Patrick (Mandy) Foster, Evan Foster, and Julia Ullrich. He is also remembered by his extended family, including his sister Jean (Jack) Galbraith; sisters-inlaw and brothers-in-law across BC and Alberta; and many nieces and nephews who loved their “Uncle Bob”.

As a family, we celebrate Dad, Robert, Bob, Bobbie, Daddy-O, Grandpa, as he was known to each of us. We give thanks for his life and all that he gave to each of us.

We are grateful for the excellent, supportive care by nursing and care aides at The Residence at Morgan Heights over the past 32 months, especially the last 8 days.

At Bob’s request, there will be no formal service. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. Following his wishes, he will be cremated and his ashes will rest in the Memorial Garden at South Arm United Church in Richmond, BC. Donations in Bob’s memory can be made to The Alzheimer’s Society, or Heart and Stroke Foundation, or to the BCSPCA. “Sunshine passes, shadows fall, and Love’s remembrance outlasts all”
