Former mayor edges seat in conservative stronghold nail-biter, as rest of Surrey goes Liberal

Dianne Watts watches numbers.
In a race that was too close to call for several hours after polls closed, Conservative Dianne Watts was elected member of Parliament for South Surrey-White Rock Monday night. While Watts took an early lead as the first of 209 polling stations were announced shortly after 7 p.m., the gulf reduced to neck-and-neck for more than two hours, with at times just hundreds of votes separating Watts from Liberal contender Judy Higginbotham. Shortly before 10 p.m., Watts – with a 2.3 per cent lead and 90 per cent of the polls accounted for – declared victory before a crowd of about 100 supporters and media, who had gathered at Pasta Vino restaurant in Peninsula Village. In celebrating the win, the former Surrey mayor said
she will “represent this riding and I will take the issues of the people of this riding forward to Ottawa.” “I will be their voice,” she said, naming relocation of the waterfront rail line and public safety as priorities. Watts was the only non-Liberal to win a Surrey riding, in a vote that gives Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau a majority government over incumbent Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who resigned as leader. Watts held on to the traditionally right-wing riding – represented for the past 11 years by Conservative MP Russ Hiebert – with 24,934 votes (44 per cent) to Higginbotham’s 23,495 (41.5 per cent). Her seat was among five for the party throughout the Lower Mainland. Watts was to the point when asked if she’d had a backup plan in the event things had turned out differently Monday. i see page 8

More than 200 take part in a march on 152 Street Sunday, three months to the day 20-year-old Hudson Brooks was killed outside the South Surrey RCMP detachment without any explanation.
Hudson Brooks shot to death outside police detachment
Hundreds march after three months without answers Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter
Hundreds of family members, friends and strangers marched in honour of Hudson Brooks Sunday, three months to the day the South Surrey man was fatally shot outside a police detachment. Holding signs with Brooks’ photograph, and messages reading
“we want answers” and “your child could be next,” upwards of 200 people marched along 152 Street in South Surrey, past the RCMP detachment where the 20-year-old was killed in the early morning hours of July 18. “We will never give up. I will never stop until justice is served,” Jennifer Brooks, Hudson’s mom, told Peace
Arch News prior to the demonstration. “Nothing they will say can justify the murder of my son.” In the months since Brooks’ death, his loved ones have expressed frustration over the lack of information from the RCMP about what happened that night. According to police, officers were responding to reports of a man

screaming in the 1800-block of 152 Street around 2:30 a.m. when a struggle ensued. Brooks was shot, and an officer suffered a non-lifethreatening gunshot wound.

Hospital run builds
New route a hit More than 1,500 runners and walkers of all ages took part in the Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation’s Great Pumpkin Run/Walk Sunday, raising thousands of dollars for the hospital’s new emergency department. With a brand new route that started and ended at Bayview Park on White Rock’s waterfront, participants chose between a five or onekilometre trek at the Oct. 18 event. As of Monday morning, $90,000 had been raised for the $20-million ER project, with more donations still trickling in. This year’s race saw a bigger turnout than last year, with 300 more participants raising $10,000 more for the hospital. Fastest runners in the five-km route were Rob Durrant and Catherine Giles, who finished in 19:50 and 22:46 respectively. The top youth finisher was Nathan Erleau, 12, while 10-year-old Kole Herrewig finished the one-km route first. Top individual fundraisers were three-year-old Molly Dove (in the youth division) and Connor Oldham; top fundraising teams were White Rock Optometry ($10,213) and the Peace Arch Hospital Cardiac Rehab Team ($13,000). Now in its ninth year, the run has raised close to $450,000 for equipment and upgrades for Peace Arch Hospital.

Purchase price not made public because ‘we’re bound by confidentiality at this time’
Water-utility purchase prompts more questions Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter
The City of White Rock held a public forum last week to update residents on the status of its water-utility takeover, and while the meeting provided information about what’s to come for water customers, it also raised a number of questions. Thursday’s forum, attended by around 30 residents, included presentations by city staff about changes to billing procedures as well as the operations surrounding the city’s purchase of the water-utility from Epcor, officially announced Sept. 4. Following staff presentations, Mayor Wayne Baldwin told the crowd the city is “looking ahead a few years” in purchasing the water utility from the Edmonton-based company. “The reason we’re doing this is not because Epcor isn’t a good operator,” Baldwin said. “They’ve done a very good job…. the publicly recorded numbers are that roughly $1 million is given to the city of Edmonton each year. I think that money would be better off here.” Baldwin then informed attendees that staff would be available to answer any questions one-on-one, however members of the crowd began calling out questions, the first of which was how much the city agreed to pay to purchase the utility. “We’re bound by confidentiality at this time,

A small group attends Thursday’s meeting. and are unable to release that information,” financial services director Sandra Kurylo responded, noting the city is making arrangements to borrow more than $14 million. Several attendees inquired about the status of the Epcor-owned lot at 1454 Oxford St., of which 2.5 acres was sold to a developer pending rezoning from its current institutional use. A proposal for 24- and 21-storey towers at the site has been the subject of protest in the city, including a 2,000-signature petition spearheaded by opposing residents over the summer. Residents at the forum peppered Baldwin with questions about the property, asking why the assessed value of the land has increased if it hasn’t yet been rezoned and why the city didn’t try to purchase it from Epcor along with the utility.
“We looked at it, but it’s not being considered because of the cost,” Baldwin said. Another concern raised was the direction the city will take when it comes to disinfecting the water – a change ordered by Fraser Health in response to E.coli contamination that sparked a boil-water advisory in 2010. Greg St. Louis, the city’s director of engineering, outlined disinfection options being explored, including the addition of either sodium hypochlorite (used by Metro Vancouver) or chloramine (used by Abbotsford). St. Louis pointed out that the first option could result in a “lower aesthetic quality”, as the chemical reacts with manganese and causes staining of laundry and plumbing fixtures. He said staff recommend the second option, chloramine, which he described as a more stable and persistent disinfectant than chlorine that preserves the quality and reduces the taste and odour of chlorine. St. Louis noted, however, that because chloramine is harmful to sea life, the city would be required to build de-chlorination manholes at the reservoirs to treat the water before it is flushed out to the ocean. Resident Ross Buchanan raised concerns about the use of chloramine, pointing to U.S. studies that link the chemical with cancer. “The EPA clearly states that there are no studies that prove the safety of chloraminated
water for human consumption,” he said. At the start of the forum, Kurylo highlighted billing changes, including quarterly billing and the addition of a hydrant levy, which is now billed with property taxes. Rates are expected to be slightly lower under the city’s billing, Kurylo said, with the exception of this November and December, typically low-usage months, needed to cover operating costs spread throughout the year. “In order to recoup what we need to for the tail end of the year, we have to temporarily bump the rate up a bit,” Kurylo said. “We don’t have the benefit of generating revenue from the higher consumption in the summer months.” In discussing the operations of the utility, St. Louis said the city has made an agreement with the five certified operators employed by Epcor, who will become city employees. CUPE Local 402-01 president Mike Guraliuk said in a news release earlier this month that the move “makes sense,” noting the union is pleased with the decision to operate the utility in-house. St. Louis said the city is also in the process of hiring a manager of utilities, who will oversee day-to-day operations. The city seeks feedback on the billing changes and disinfection options – a form is available online at www.whiterockcity.ca

A flock of mallards rescued from a contaminated South Surrey pond earlier this month are to start being released back to the wild this week. But they won’t be returning ‘home’, following a report of continued pollution at the pond in question. “The pond still has a sheen on it and we are trying to find a pond that is similar to their previous home but far enough away from it so they don’t fly back to it and get soiled again,” Yolanda Brooks, communications manager with the Wildlife Rescue Association, said Monday. The ducks – 16 in all – were rescued from property in the 18800-block of 8 Avenue starting Oct. 7, after officials were alerted to an oily substance in the water. WRA volunteers and staff dispatched to the scene over the next few days were able to round up most of the soiled waterfowl, bringing them to the Burnaby facility for stabilization, cleaning and treatment. Five were found to have suffered chemical burns to their skin. Brooks told Peace Arch News by email that all of the rescued

Sixteen ducks were rescued from an 8 Avenue property this month after an oily substance was reported in the pond where they lived. ducks are currently in outdoor enclosures – with donations towards their care at about $3,600 – and the first are expected to be released today (Wednesday). The pollution, however, remains under investigation. Ministry of Environment spokesman David Karn said the pond was cleaned, “however, the ministry has received a further
report of continuing pollution at the site and is investigating.” Further details – including if the pollutant itself was identified – were not disclosed by PAN’s deadline Tuesday morning. If it’s determined that an offence occurred under the Environmental Management Act, penalties could include financial penalties or jail time, Karn said.

ever, “the Mazda appears to have started a lefthand turn and the motorbike and the Mazda collided,” Cpl. Scotty Schumann said. Transported with significant leg injuries, the motorcyclist is expected to be in hospital “for some time.” “It was almost a head-on collision,” he said. The Mazda driver – who was travelling with her daughter – remained at the scene and was later taken to hospital with minor injuries. Schumann said police do not believe alcohol or speed were fac-
tors in the crash, however, it will be “months” before the investigation is complete. In addition to witness accounts, investigators will be reviewing City of Surrey traffic camera footage of the crash, evidence Schumann said will give police “a pretty good idea of what happened.” The intersection remained closed to traffic until 2:30 a.m. Friday while police gathered evidence.

Hope votes
L
ocal voters went to bed Sunday unsure what the next day would bring. For many, it brought hope. Love or loathe the results of Monday’s federal election, the changes observed by the individual voter certainly bring opportunity. Those who had sought change nationwide got it, though not necessarily as some desired; instead of a Conservative majority led by Stephen Harper, they got a Liberal majority led by Justin Trudeau. Locally, in South Surrey-White Rock, instead of Conservative MP Russ Hiebert in a landslide (he won 54 per cent of the vote in 2011, out of a field of nine), voters got Conservative Dianne Watts in a nail-biter (she eked out 44 per cent of the vote, not far from her closest challenger, Liberal Judy Higginbotham, in a field of six candidates). And in Surrey-Newton, instead of NDP incumbent Jinny Sims, voters got former Liberal incumbent Sukh Dhaliwal. The rest of Surrey – including traditionally rightwing Cloverdale, as part of the new CloverdaleLangley City riding – went or remained Liberal. Our hopes must be met with realism. While Harper may well have embarrassed himself politically and personally in the days leading up to the election – partying at a rally hosted by Toronto’s infamous Ford brothers Saturday evening was only the capper – Trudeau is by no means tested; and, if one listens solely to his detractors, there is reason to be concerned. Conversely, while Hiebert has kept a low, unproductive profile for nearly all of his four terms in office, little more than a yes-man for Harper, Watts – a proven force as onetime mayor of Surrey – was an entirely different candidate, a shadow of her former self, parroting a party line rather than speaking from the heart. Not once did we hear Watts challenge conventional thinking. Not once did we hear her say what she, personally, would bring to the community, more than any other candidate that her party could have put forward. Again, there is hope. In Trudeau’s case, it is that his supporters paint a picture of a man with integrity. In Watts’ case, we urge her to remember her days as mayor, but not the ones of her final terms in which her Surrey First party ruled without dissent. Instead, we remind her of the past glory of her earliest days, when she wrested the mayor’s chair from established parties and had to teambuild. She did so with a smile on her face, and it felt as though she was doing it for us. Indeed, we have a great deal of hope. We only hope it is warranted.

For B.C., withdrawing from Pacific Rim trade is unthinkable. We worry a lot about lumber and copper and natural gas, but the TPP also opens up huge markets for services, where much of our economic future awaits. The question for us is simple. Can we compete in health sciences, engineering, architecture, digital media and information technology? Do we want to? The TPP doesn’t change B.C.’s dependency on the United States. As with NAFTA, our vital lumber trade remains under a separate agreement, which expired on Oct. 1. I’m told by federal and provincial officials that at this stage, the U.S. isn’t even taking our calls on the softwood lumber agreement, which Canada and B.C. want extended. Americans are preoccupied with the TPP and domestic politics. After decades of bitter legal actions from the American industry, the latest softwood deal has provided a rough peace. It set a floor price for B.C.’s allegedly subsidized lumber exports, with an export tax collected by Canada when the price went below the floor of $355 per thousand board feet. That money went back into our government general revenue. Higher prices meant no export tax was collected through 2014 and early 2015, and only five per cent as of September. Now that the agreement is expired, by default we have actual free trade in lumber for up to the next year. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Thoughts on democracy
Preservation over trucks
Editor: As I write this, the final day of voting has yet to begin, so I have no idea of the outcome of our most recent federal election process. I am, however disgusted by the behaviour of some when it comes to actions in support of their party. Signs are an annoying part of getting the candidates’ names out there. I do not like seeing our city blanketed with these things, but I respect the right and accept the need to do so. Smashing, defacing, burning, knocking over or stealing a sign is an offence under the Elections Act. Signs of all parties have been attacked – I know I have been putting up ones for my chosen candidate and have had to repair them. I see the destruction of other parties’ signs and am saddened by the behaviour. In the office of my candidate, the phone system is flooded by junk harassment calls so that the phone is tied up and not available. That is a disruption attack that pushes negative images, of both the person calling and the party behind them, certainly not a positive message. Dirty politics comes to mind. Negative ads filled with half-truths and out-of-context statements. Scare tactics and falsehoods – all part of the election campaign and mainly coming from our national offices from parties that claim to have the best interests of Canadians at heart. Some should be ashamed. The political parties should be ashamed. This is not the behaviour of the Canada that I wish to be proud of. Terry Peel, Surrey Q Thank you to our candidates. Three cheers for the six valiant people who have given so much of their time in this lengthy federal election campaign. From door knocking to meetings, they have worked hard. Even in the last week, they had three allcandidates meetings to prepare for. South Surrey-White Rock should be proud and thankful for such high-calibre candidates. Helen Christiansen, Surrey Q If Canadians could finally get on with ditching our antiquated ‘first past the post’ system, and step into the modern world of ‘proportional representation’ – no we’re not too dumb to understand one – we could vote for the person we truly think is the best candidate to represent us. By the way, do local residents not have any opinions on what problems need addressing by whoever we send to Ottawa? By the local news offerings, you’d think all we cared about was the weather report. What about discussing how our candidates contributed in their previous posts in addressing violent crime, traffic, development troubles, farmland preservation, school crowding, environmental issues and other local concerns, not to mention spending our tax money wisely, before we voted to send them on to tackle national issues? A. Wilson, Surrey
Editor: I own a small acreage in South Campbell Heights where I lived for 36 years and where, from my house, I could see blue herons, spawning salmon in the Little Campbell River, and deer in my yard. Now this lovely rural area of South Surrey is threatened by encroaching industrial development, including a truck parking lot endorsed by councillors and, at the request of the private landowner, without reference to the land-use study. Given this unique environment, a truck park is an assault on the earth. It will pollute the river, destroy trees and wildlife, and ruin the peaceful rural setting. Coun. Tom Gill says ‘need’ is the reason for this facility. This is an outrage. We do not need a parking lot in a paradise. We need countryside with trees, wildlife, clean air and clean water. We need councillors who will work with citizens to preserve what we have.
Of course we are given the usual assurances: the best use of the land, minimal impact, no damage to the river, the highest environmental standards. Who believes this stuff? Agnes Hohn, Vancouver
A modest tower proposal Editor: It’s great that White Rock city council is so obliging on highrise developments. Several neighbours on Coldicutt Avenue are banding together to find a developer that they can work with to develop their residential properties. In total, the new lot will be comprised of five or six existing lots, depending on whether or not we can get John to sign on, and the plan is to construct a 20-storey tower. If this thing catches on, we might even get a good portion of the entire block, but we think that the whole block would be optimistic. We should also add that we are willing to settle for 18 floors after much negotiation with any property
owners that might lose their views – that is just good change management and we want everyone to feel good about things. Luckily, there is lots of street parking in area. Even more luckily, White Rock doesn’t seem to have any restrictions, based on the new construction already happening in the neighbourhood, on building right to the property lines. So the new building will be able to maximize the size of the suites even though the balconies may hang over a little teeny bit. We plan to submit the plan with the city in the next few weeks and look forward to a speedy approval by city council. And with all the new construction in the area, we don’t think the neighbours will even notice the place going up. Just a couple of final points: before anyone objects to our proposal, we ask them to consider that this development will help towards White Rock’s legal obligation to densification and for them not to have any fundamental failures at understanding the law. Also, we’re willing to keep the western red cedar because it is healthy, but we’d need 19 floors for that. Bruce McIntosh, White Rock

There is no acceptable choice. Option 1 horrible, Option 2 not so horrible.a Debby Gill

Two options put forth by TransLink for the South Surrey/White Rock area offer no real choice, writes Debby Gill.
Misguided route to fix our buses Editor: I have reviewed the TransLink proposal – two options – for the South Surrey/White Rock area (‘Crummy’ TransLink service derided, Oct. 9). The failings in the TransLink proposal are as follows: • Additional transfers and longer commutes for most. • The proposed route for the 354 in Option 2 will increase the southeast White Rock commuters’ travel time significantly. • The elimination of the 354 in Option 1 would create overcrowding on the 351 and a hardship to all the southeast commuters. • No details given regarding the schedule or transferring for the new routes M, P, Q, R. These routes are to replace the C50, C51, C52 and C53. Changing the name only creates confusion. Why not keep ‘C’ for community terminology? • All people travelling to the hospital will have to transfer at White Rock Centre. Most of these people are elderly with mobility and medical issues. • The elimination of the 351 west loop in uptown White Rock has not been thought through. With towers under construction and more to come, it is a necessity. • Additional transfer for riders travelling to the airport. This is significant as they’ll most likely have luggage.
• Option 1 would decrease the frequency and capacity of buses between South Surrey Park & Ride and Bridgeport. TransLink made a commitment to increase this when they eliminated the 351 direct to Vancouver. What this proposal – either option – will achieve: • Encouraging people who use the public transit to get back in their car. • Better service for the Morgan Crossing area at the expense of other parts of South Surrey and White Rock. Morgan Crossing requires additional services but not at the expense of the rest of South Surrey/White Rock. If TransLink can justify the Evergreen spend, why not a few buses for Morgan Crossing that transfer into the existing routes. The money should be available from the property taxes generated by the new housing. Both options are unacceptable. Eliminating the 354 is a non-starter. TransLink has submitted Option 1 to make you think you have a choice. But there is no acceptable choice. Option 1 horrible, Option 2 not so horrible. If you would like to review the proposal, visit www. translink.ca/tnc and click “South of Fraser”. As well, TransLink will have a booth at the Oct. 29 community forum at White Rock Community Centre.

Higginbotham celebrates leader Trudeau’s majority victory i from page 1 “I never have a Plan B,” she told Peace Arch News. Other South Surrey-White Rock candidates finished well back, with the NDP’s Pixie Hobby claiming 5,895 votes; Green Larry Colero, 1,938 votes; Libertarian Bonnie Hu, 261; and Progressive Canadian Brian Marlatt, 108. Higginbotham conceded what she termed a “nail-biter” race shortly after 10 p.m. after spending most of the evening at her George Street campaign office. After it became evident that Watts had gathered too big a lead, Higginbotham told 60 supporters gathered at Sammy J’s in Morgan Crossing that while she was personally disappointed, she was elated at Liberal gains, and thankful for their hard work on her behalf. “I wouldn’t have given up this campaign for anything,” she said. “I am so excited that we have a his-
toric majority and that we got Canada back… tomorrow morning we’re going to get up and celebrate that we have a Liberal majority.” Earlier in the evening, she expressed satisfaction watching Liberals establish a majority. “Dreams can come true,” she said. “This election is not really about the economy – it’s about values. I feel like Canada is coming back home.” Hobby conceded around 8:25 p.m., stating that she “totally accepted” the voters’ decision. “But that doesn’t mean that we’re out of the game. No way,” Hobby told about 60 supporters at her campaign office on 152 Street. “All it means is that I don’t have to go to Ottawa and freeze my butt off.” Hobby thanked her “powerhouse team” for running a “beautiful campaign” and said she would make sure the eventual victor represents the community. “We’re going to keep going and

make sure that we get the coaltrain issue dealt with, that we ban that U.S. coal, and we’re going to make sure that track gets moved inland,” she said, prompting cheers. In conceding, Higginbotham had kind words for two of her rival candidates. “Larry Colero was absolutely superb in the job he did – don’t ever think that the Green party isn’t a factor in this community,” she said. Noting Hobby’s record as an environmental lawyer, Higginbotham said she had been “an excellent NDP candidate” and that she felt Hobby had lost a lot of votes she would otherwise have had because of strategic voting in the riding. Higginbotham acknowledged that her campaign – less than half the initial 78 days, after she came in late as a replacement for original Liberal candidate Joy Davies – could not sufficiently overcome entrenched attitudes in the area. “We couldn’t fight the negative ads and the attack ads. We’re a fairly wealthy riding and a lot of the one per cent were worried they were going to lose money (if the Liberals were elected). “(But) I’ve got news for you – you’re going to lose it anyway because Trudeau won.” Higginbotham said she felt that Conservatives’ “divisive, wedge issues” had backfired in contrast to Trudeau’s “vision and integrity.” “It simply isn’t the Canadian way – I think people firmly came to that realization. It’s obvious by this

Conservative MP Nina Grewal, criticized for missing local debates, lost to former TransLink spokesperson and Liberal candidate Ken Hardie in Fleetwood-Port Kells. Two NDP MPs fell in Surrey – Jinny Sims lost in Surrey-Newton to former MP Sukh Dhaliwal, who recaptured the riding for the Liberals; and Jasbir Sandhu fell in Surrey Centre to Randeep Sarai.
Nationwide, the Liberals won 184 of 338 seats; the Conservatives 99. Provincewide, the Liberals took 17 seats and nearly 40.5 per cent of the popular vote. The NDP won 14 seats (33 per cent) of the vote, while the Conservatives got 10 seats (23.8 per cent) – down from 21. The Greens’ lone victory in B.C. – leader Elizabeth May – was also its only success nationwide. After thanking her “dream team,” Watts acknowledged the red wave means “change is afoot,” but said she is proud of the Conservatives’ legacy – including the lowest taxes in 50 years – and that her party will hold the Liberals to their word. “I know that there were a lot of promises made in this election and I also know that we will hold them to account,” she said. The “silver lining” in the Conservatives’ loss is the opportunity it provides “to review what’s going on with the party,” she said. “We need to regroup… there’s no doubt about that.” Asked if she felt campaign material pledging to fight terrorism that was criticized by opponents as fearmongering played a role in her close finish, Watts said only that “that page has already turned.” Asked if she would do anything differently in her campaign, Watts said she “wouldn’t change a thing.” Voter turnout in the riding – not including those who registered on election day – was 74.44 per cent, higher than that seen in B.C. (70.4) and across Canada (68.49).

75 days for theft, mischief Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
A pair of civilians and a CN police officer are being credited with helping catch a man who allegedly robbed an uptown White Rock business last month. Sgt. Joel Glen said two men working at a business in the 1500-block of Johnston Road gave chase on Sept. 29 after hearing a call for help from the Crispy Falafel. According to the police report, a man entered the 1570 Johnston Rd. eatery just before 11 a.m., ordered food, then grabbed for money when the cashier opened the till. The culprit fled down a nearby walkway.
In addition to the two men who responded to the call for help, a CN Police officer on patrol in the area noticed the chase and got involved, arresting a suspect about a block away, Glen said. No one was injured during the arrest. The eatery cashier suffered a cut finger when she tried to stop the thief from taking the cash. Glen said police “totally commend‌ and appreciateâ€? the actions of the civilians. At the same time, he cautioned against taking such risks. “We would never ask people not to step in and help people who are in trouble,â€? he said. “At the same time, we prefer they don’t put themselves in harm’s
way unnecessarily. Especially for property crime. “There’s always that fine line over whether you should stick your neck out for something that can be replaced.� The CN officer has been cited internally for his actions that day, Glen added. Names of the civilians and CN officer were not released. On Oct. 9, Darren August Howald, 43, appeared in Surrey Provincial Court, where – according to court information online – a guilty plea was entered to two charges: theft under $5,000 and mischief under $5,000. He was sentenced to 75 days in jail and 18 months probation.

Beth Kish looking forward to helping society grow as executive director
Dream job, dream city for hospice head Melissa Smalley
F
Staff Reporter
inding herself in the position of executive director of the White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society can be described as somewhat serendipitous for Beth Kish. Several years ago, when Kish and her young family lived in Okotoks, Alta., she started a home-based interior design business. As the business flourished, Kish began looking for ways to give back to the community, and decided upon becoming a donor for the local hospice society. “Never knowing in a million years I’d be working in hospice,” Kish laughed, from her office at the WRSS Hospice Society headquarters on Russell Avenue. As the Foothills Country Hospice Society south of Calgary continued to grow, so did Kish’s involvement; she donated to the organization’s annual gala each year and contributed a patient room to the hospice residence when it was built. After a stint as president of the local chamber of commerce, a term on city council and a mayoral bid in 2010 that she lost by only 301 votes, Kish was asked to take the role of executive director for the southern Alberta ❝I’m always hospice organization. telling myself All the while, the how lucky I am.❞ Kish family made thrice-yearly visits to Beth Kish White Rock, where executive director Kish’s husband, Robert, was born and raised and his parents lived. “The dream always was that we’d end up here permanently, so when our kids finished university, they both got jobs in Vancouver, and that was all we needed to say, ‘OK, we get to come to B.C.,’” Kish told Peace Arch News last week. The good fortune she has come by in landing her current role is not lost on her; she was named executive director last month after assuming the role in an interim capacity since June 2014, taking over for Catherine Ferguson who was on sick leave. “I’m always telling myself how lucky I am,” Kish, 54, said. “It’s not like moving to a community where you’re a hairstylist or in the restaurant industry, and you have options. There’s only one job.” While it’s been “steady as she goes” for Kish and the hospice society for the past 15 months, the permanency of her position means she has plenty to look forward to in

Beth Kish was named executive director of the White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society after filling in for the position for 15 months. the coming months and years. Plans are well underway for a supportivecare centre, to be built on 16A Avenue, that the society hopes will be completed within two years. The new location will be walking distance from a new four-storey Fraser Health building, slated for 16A Avenue and 156 Street, which will include 15 hospice beds on the main floor, in addition to mental health and extended care beds on other floors. The expanded facilities will help the hospice team better serve the community, Kish said, as their clientele continues to grow. While many in the community may be familiar with the hospice society’s palliative and bereavement care services – which include grief counselling, peer support and education – Kish said there are many other areas in which hospice provides support. She noted a growing number of “forgotten
mourners” in the community – children who have lost a loved one – and noted that hospice volunteers and counsellors also work with local schools in the event of the sudden death of a student. Hospice services don’t always involve long-term illness, Kish also pointed out, nor are they limited to a loved one’s recent passing. “There’s no time limit on grief, and we recognize that,” Kish said. “There may be someone in the community who lost somebody two years ago. They’re always welcome. It doesn’t matter how long ago they lost somebody, or who they lost. Grief is grief.” While the WRSS Hospice Society will have big things on the horizon in the new year, with the launch of a capital campaign to raise $1.6 million for the construction of the supportive-care centre, there are a few fundraising events over the holiday season

As Kish looks ahead at the future of hospice care in the community, she acknowledges that none of the organization’s work would be possible without the “amazing team” that was in place when she came aboard, including dedicated staff members and volunteers. “This is such a great team to work with,” Kish said. “Everybody here, their heart is for hospice.” To find out more about the WRSS Hospice Society, visit www.whiterockhospice.org

Special Olympians launch nourishing fundraiser
Feeding the Olympic spirit Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Athletes Sean Beddows, Alex Magee, Michaela Robinson and Stacey Kohler know the value of healthy eating – it helps them stay on track with their fitness goals, which include competing in their sports of choice on the world stage. This month, they’re hoping others who also take nutrition to heart will further support their efforts, by donating to Safeway’s annual campaign in support of Special Olympics. The two-week fundraiser launched Friday and is taking place across Western Canada through Nov. 1, encouraging shoppers – or anyone else who wants to support the cause – to donate. For a minimum $2, donors can receive five Air Miles. Last year, the campaign raised $698,438 over four weeks, including $4,990 at the Ocean Park Safeway and another $6,316 at the Peninsula Village store. Ocean Park store manager Kelly Rurka said she’s confident her store will raise more than $3,000 in the next two weeks. “(There’s) excellent, excellent community support around here,” she said during a campaign kickoff with the athletes at the store Thursday, noting some customers come in every day to pitch in, many of them donating more than the $2 minimum. “Lots of customers do it even without the Air Miles.” In addition to other Special Olympics programs, the funds raised will help support training and sending Magee and Beddows to compete at the 2016 Special Olympics Canada Winter Games, set for March 1-5 in Cornerbrook, N.L. and a qualifying event for the 2017 Special Olympics Winter Games in Austria.

Haunted houses open nightly through Halloween
ELECT BILL
Twice the terror at Potter’s MORRIS Halloween in Surrey just wouldn’t be the same without a trip to Potter’s House of Horrors, a terrifying, 10,000 square-foot labyrinth of fright that just gets bloodier and scarier every year. The Ghoul Crew at Potters transform the garden centre at 12530 72 Ave. using computer-controlled lighting, animatronics, live actors, sound effects and more to create an attraction that draws up to 20,000 visitors each October.
Two haunted houses promise twice the terror in 2015. House #1 is the Ripper of Whitechapel; House #2 is the Swampin’ Slaughterhouse. Nightly through Oct. 31. Family Hour is 5-6:30 p.m. and the regular show runs 7-10 p.m. Admission prices vary. Expect lineups, or jump the queue with a speed pass, which costs more.

Thanksgiving last week prompted columnist April Lewis to share what she is grateful for. to his sage advice. Keep a gratitude journal and when the pages start to curl as a result of your insincere jottings, spill your third cup of coffee on it. As for moi, hell, I am just thankful I can still do up my jeans after all that overeating last week. I am delighted I am still upright, breathing and above ground. Getting older is a privilege and worth celebrating. Now that is a gratifying thought. But let me pause here a moment and tell you sincerely what I am most grateful forâ&#x20AC;Ś the peanut butter cookies. Homemade peanut butter cookies baked by you, dear reader of my monthly musings. You know who you are; you wrapped them up carefully and presented them to me as a token of your gratitude for the smile my columns put on your face. Thank you. And to that other reader who approached me at a local store and said her favourite column was Time To Step It Up, Fellas, a 2013 column which described my quest for a dance partner. Thank you. And to the reader, who has on more than one occasion told me her favourite piece
was Bless This Grand Biological Clock from the same year, as we share the reality that neither of us is going to become a grandmother. Thank you. And to the reader who chuckled over Imperfect Profiles of Love published in time for Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. Thank you. And how could I forget the man who wrote a scathing letter to my editor as a result of A Brief Foray Into Petty Thievery. Thank you. To date, I have had 50 of my columns published in Peace Arch News, and I feel confident you would love to read them all over again. (Was that a resounding Yes!?) Having said that, even though my own mother says â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any fool can write a bookâ&#x20AC;?, I am writing my book which will contain all of the above and some other musings. It has a working title which begins with Lovingly Arrogant: I still need a subtitle. Perhaps it should read: With Gratitude. April Lewis is the local communications director for CARP, a national group committed to a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;New Vision of Aging for Canada.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; She writes monthly for Peace Arch News.

ACUPUNCTURE AND NATURAL HEALING CLINIC from appearing.
Welcome to Feng Li Acupuncture and Natural Healing Clinic. As White Rock / South Surrey’s premier acupuncture and natural healing clinic, Feng LiMD in her native China is a BC Certified Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner who has spent 20 years serving the local community.
Feng Li M.D. (China) BC Registered Acupuncturist & Herbal Practioner
ABOUT MY BUSINESS… • Acne, Rosacea, Eczema, Psoriasis • Allergies, Cough, Sinus Problems, Asthma • Digestive/Urinary Problems/IBS • Epilepsy, Migraines, Headaches, Dizziness • Hot Flashes, Stress, Anxiety, Depression, Chronic Fatigue, Insomnia • Infertility, Menstrual Problems and Pre-Menopausal Symptoms • Pain Relief and Soft Tissue Injuries • Stroke Recovery • Weight Loss, Smoking and Other Addictions
For over two years, Feng has been studying the ancient art of Tao medicine which has 8,000 – 12,000 years of history. Tao medicine is related to a more “universal energy” in which it views humans as a part of nature. Each morning before she arrives at her clinic, Feng studies ancient Tao Chinese medicine and practices Tai Chi and meditation. Feng is trained to quickly recognize the small things that can be addressed/changed in order to improve one’s health. As an example, a simple skin condition or rash could be something as easy as making small changes to your diet. If you are suffering from aches and pains, simply closing the windows at night and turning off any fans may help alleviate these issues. In treating acne for young people, refraining from eating cold foods, spicy foods and seafoods may help stop acne
Feng has helped many middle-aged women through menopause who have symptoms such as insomnia, hot flashes, mood swings, fatigue, stress, anxiety, and depression. If needed, Feng has a BC Certified Acupuncturist who will make house calls. If you find yourself suffering from conditions like fatigue, discomfort or any other ailments, it may be a good time to visit the clinic. Feng will take the time during your free consultation to review your causes for concern, including checking your pulse, reading your tongue and providing professional advice. Things like eating, fashion and sleep habits need to change with the seasons in order to maintain the best possible health. Feng’s clinic at 1481 Johnston Rd in uptown White Rock offers a wide selection of Chinese herbs and supplements at the lowest prices in town that will help you build a healthier life!

DANCE STUDIO Whether you have been dancing your whole life and want to add to your skills, or it has been something you have always wanted to do but did not take the time to do it, or you have an upcoming event you wish to feel confident about, Arthur Murray Dance Studio in White Rock has something for you. The talented and experienced team, led by Franchisee Sheryle Gallivan, can help you spruce up your Waltz or try out the Salsa, all the while enjoying the company of others in a social environment.
Arthur Murray Staff
ABOUT MY BUSINESS… • Healthy, fun exercise • Gift cards available perfect for Christmas!
www.peacearchnews.com 21
“Our main focus is to create an atmosphere of fun and relaxation while attaining the skills you wish to achieve,” says Sheryle. “If you feel nervous about learning something new, just remember that dancing is just walking and moving to music. All we do is add the timing, the patterns and the styling.” Since opening its doors in 2003, the studio has helped countless individuals – anywhere from students who want to make dance a hobby, are just looking to get fit, want to brush up for an upcoming event, to students who are looking to compete or perform. Although we can facilitate a wide range of requests, the majority of students generally want to be comfortable social dancers. “It’s a great healthy activity, and its benefits are not only physical, but mental, emotional and social, as well,” says Sheryle. “We have people of all ages, from six years old to 93 years old, who come in.”
Glenn and Kimm Pineau
ABOUT OUR BUSINESS…
In fact, dancing may be better for you than you think. According to Sheryle, research has proven that ballroom dancing can help with the prevention of Alzheimer’s as it makes the brain work with the body to remember and execute the steps.
- Named 2014 Best New Business by South Surrey & White Rock Chamber of Commerce
And dancing is fun! “Almost everyone leaves here smiling. Learning to dance, of course, involves time and money, but the smiles are free and they are priceless!” Sheryle says.
- Corporate Gifts & Fundraising
For those getting ready to take that next step in their relationship and decide to wed, the studio team can help make that first dance –where you look into each other’s eyes as a married couple – as romantic, entertaining and comfortable as possible. Arthur Murray has a wide range of first dance programs, from the basics to an extravagant choreographed dance.
- Group Tasting Events - Online Shopping
So that you do not have to make a decision sight unseen, and to experience what learning to dance would be like, the team offers a free, no obligation lesson. For the convenience of their clients scheduling, the lessons are arranged by appointment. “We have personally experienced the amazing gifts that being a confident dancer has to offer, and we are passionate about sharing those gifts with others,” says Sheryle. “Why wait another moment? Start the journey now.”

With a commitment to customer satisfaction and nearly 100 years of combined industry experience, Check Point Plumbing is proud to offer top-notch, knowledgeable service you can count on. Whether it’s a clogged sink, a leaky hot water tank or a gas fireplace on the fritz, the team at Check Point Plumbing will get the job done quickly and accurately, according to co-owner Beth Henderson. “We do the job right the first time and ensure that the customer is satisfied,” Henderson said. “We’re very proud of the work we do.” With winter upon us, it’s the time of year many homeowners think about replacing their old, inefficient furnace with a newer and more efficient model. In some respects, today’s high-efficiency furnaces, which generally start around $4,000, are better engineered than the $30,000 car you drive off the lot. With up to 95 per cent efficiency, more heat goes into your home than up the chimney with older models. Redesigned heat exchangers – complete with recovery coils – better insulation with state-of-the-art controls and energy-efficient blower motors, some with four speeds and quiet as a whisper, all provide longlasting comfort. High and low-fire gas valves combined with variable speed blowers provide the perfect amount of heat required – for warmer days, the gas valve fires on low mode and the blower cuts in on low speed; for cold days, both the gas valve and the blower operate on high to bring your home up to a set temperature, where it will stay comfortably. Also important is a good digital thermostat to replace the old mechanical style you may still have. The friendly folks at Check Point Plumbing would be more than happy to visit your home to check out your existing unit and make some recommendations. With an emphasis on providing great customer service and competitive pricing, Check Point Plumbing is your best choice for all your plumbing, heating and gas fitting needs.

INK & TONER CARTRIDGES When your printer ink is running low, do you high-tail it to the nearest big box office supply store and then cringe every time you pay the bill? If so, you should check out your local Cartridge World, at #12-3189 King George Boulevard. For about half of what it costs to buy new, Cartridge World – the world’s fastest growing ink refilling retailer – can refill or remanufacture 95 per cent of inkjet and laser toner cartridges, using top-quality, brand-specific ink and toner.
Mike Kitchen
Operating more than 1,400 locations in 50 countries, Cartridge World keeps money IN your pocket and hundreds of millions of empty printer cartridges OUT of landfills every year. This proactive solution to waste reduction is a win-win for customers, entrepreneurs and the environment. Frequently Asked Questions: Q: Is there a risk to using a refilled cartridge?

Dermaplaning is a method of exfoliation that consists of using a 10 gauge scalpel to gently scrape off the top layer of dulling dead skin cells in order to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion. Dermaplaning is a favorite in the entertainment industry, specifically among models and actresses. Why? It also eliminates that annoying peach fuzz that cakes up in makeup and can be enhanced by harsh production lighting and highdefinition cameras. “Dermaplaning removes all the dead skin cells and also the facial hair, leaving the surface very smooth.” Dermaplaning also allows for greater penetration of skincare products and creates a flawless canvas for makeup to glide on smoothly. Dermaplaning is recommended for all skin types except those with acne. This is a great treatment if you are pregnant or nursing and want exfoliation without the risk of harsh chemicals absorbing into the blood stream and potentially harming your baby. Dermaplaning is a painless procedure and can be done in under 45 minutes $149. There are no side effects and zero downtime. You’ll immediately look more radiant with a more even skin tone and texture. All of your peach fuzz will be gone, which is why first-timers say their skin has never felt so soft before.
Your savings may vary depending on your printer. As a rule of thumb, you can expect to save up to 50 per cent on refills at Cartridge World, compared to the cost of a brand new cartridge. In fact, Peninsula businesses and residents are saving hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars every year by making the switch. In addition to savings, Cartridge World also offers their customers the ability to make a choice regarding waste reduction and the environment. Q: Will using refilled cartridges void the printer manufacturer’s warranty? No. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act prohibits the printer manufacturer from voiding the warranty. Printer manufacturers will almost always advise you against refilling because they want you to keep buying their expensive replacement cartridges and accessories. You can feel confident that cartridges sold, refilled or remanufactured by Cartridge World will meet or exceed your expectations. Our own warranty also extends to your printer on any valid claim! Q: Is cartridge refilling and remanufacturing the only service Cartridge World provides? No. Cartridge World is a one-stop shop! In addition to a printer/fax/copier repair service, we stock a full selection of new and compatible ink and laser cartridges, copier toners, fax and postage meter supplies, specialty paper and labels.

Tara Anderson, who co-owns the franchise with her husband David, says you truly see and feel the full benefit of Budget Blinds’ personalized, one-stop service once you make an appointment for an in-home consultation. “We come to you – and that’s from the initial consultation right through installation,” she says. “It’s the simplicity, ease and comfort of not having to leave your own home,” she adds. “With other stores it’s just a cashier – you pay, you walk out with the product, end of story. With us, you don’t have to worry about something being the wrong size or measurements, we have the best warranties in the business, they pick what they want and get what they ask for.” Working with a customers’ in their own homes also means it’s easier for Budget Blinds’ consultants to help them find just the look they want – seeing the actual space and existing decor, there’s no guesswork or miscommunication. “Everything is custom-made and installed,” Anderson says. “It’s their own vision we are trying to help them achieve.” Budget Blinds will have been offering their services in this area for more than 8 years – and the business is consistently growing, Anderson said. “We’ve now added a full-time office manager, another Style Consultant and a part-time installer – and we’re excited heading into our busiest season.” Extra help is welcome and appreciated she says, as she and David manage the needs of the business with having four daughters – all under the age of 10, “life is always a balancing act for us- never boring for sure”- said Anderson. Being family people themselves makes them more aware of the importance of community and exceptional customer service, she says. “We try to involve the whole family (including our extended family-our staff) in what we do wherever possible, and we’re always interested in giving back through special events and sponsorships and in particular teaching our kids the value of hard work.”

Mareth Hunter and her business – Mareth’s Hair Studio – has been a known and trusted name with White Rock and South Surrey customers for more than 25 years. But that doesn’t mean she’s resting on her laurels. Indeed, Hunter is a strong advocate of education as a way to to ensure her business is in step with the latest trends and techniques in hair care. “Continuing education is an important aspect of hairstyling,” she says. “Combining learning with your passion for style and beauty (must be) ongoing to achieve success.” “Come by and discuss with one of our stylists a new change in cut and colour,” says Hunter. Her hairdressing career in White Rock began even earlier. Trained in her native Wales, and a member of the British Hairdressing Council, she started work as a stylist in White Rock in 1980, and opened her first salon in the city in 1984. After a two-year stint as an instructor at the Richmond School of Hairdressing, she returned to this community to open a new salon. Since then, Mareth and her staff have built a loyal clientele who rely on the salon’s friendly, experienced, quality service – including everything from body perms, highlights, lowlights, colouring, to hair and scalp treatments and mens hairstyling – and high-end products. In all, she looks back on the past 26 years in White Rock with a great deal of happiness – and amazement at how the city has grown – and looks forward to meeting new clients daily. Mareth gives full credit to a great staff for the success of her studio over the years. “The salon is not me – it takes a team to make it work,” she says. “It’s a joy to come to work every day.”

OSTEOPATHIC RESOLUTIONS
HOLISTIC NUTRITIONIST
Introducing Osteopathic Resolutions, now at the Pacific Inn. “The goal of osteopathy is to restore the anatomical and physiological relationship of the organs,” she said. “The body has an inherent ability to heal itself,” she added, noting that the way to healing can be unlocked by “precise mobilization of structures” through manual therapy. “If you can free arteries or nerves, the body can begin to heal,” she says. Pamela Rogers
ABOUT MY BUSINESS… • Osteopathic Resolutions • Physiotherapist • Learn how I can help you.
“Virtually persons of any age or condition or illness may benefit. One may see an osteopathic manual practitioner for many conditions, for example, of the musculoskeletal, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urogenital, central nervous system or endocrine systems.” Pamela did her thesis on “The Effects of Osteopathic Treatment on Persons with Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease” in White Rock. She welcomes these conditions and others. Her approach involves manual assessment, treatment and self-management. Rogers will be holding an open house on Saturday, October 24th, 9am to 4pm where she will offer a presentation and demonstration on osteopathy. “Come out to discover osteopathy,” Rogers says. “Refreshments will be provided and there will be time for your questions.” For more information, visit www.osteopathicsolutions.ca

Jas Salh
Valerie Mrakuzic RHN, Owner
The wealth management business may be largely concerned with numbers, but at HollisWealth in South Surrey, Jas Salh does things differently – focusing not just on the numbers, but people. Numbers alone don’t define success, and Jas, a HollisWealth Investment and Insurance Advisor, aims to develop trust with each one of her clients, partnering with them to help them achieve all their financial goals while ensuring all needs are met. It’s a different perspective that “is a point of view rooted in the thinking that we should have deeper relationships” with those around us. And Jas’s results speak for themselves. “Jas has managed my savings for some time now, and has become a friend as well as a trusted advisor,” writes one of Jas’s clients. “I’ve had several other financial advisors over the years, but none was as hands-on as Jas.” Another longtime client described Jas as “compassionate, knowledgeable and experienced.” No matter in what stage of life you find yourself – student, working professional, business-owner or retiree – Jas will be able to help. Her business specializes in retirement; estate and insurance planning solutions using various investment instruments including equities, mutual funds, bonds and specialized portfolios. Financial planning can sometimes be a confusing, intimidating experience, but it doesn’t have to be. Jas takes a holistic approach, planning in detail every aspect of a client’s journey, “from birth to retirement and beyond” and, is not just business smart, but approachable, respectful and easy to talk to. She is also engrained in the community, and routinely supports a number of charities, support services and local events. As one client puts it, Jas shows “commitment to positive change in her own backyard.”

The best path to good health is nutrition, and Eating to Live Well is all about helping people achieve their best health. Registered holistic nutritionist Valerie Mrakuzic is dedicated to finding her clients the correct eating plan to suit their individual needs. Whether the goal is reducing stress, increasing energy, losing weight or improving sleep – or any other aspect of life that feels out of control – Valerie will get to the root cause of the issue and make recommendations to get you back on track. To determine the best nutritional plan, Valerie uses an integrated approach combining metabolic typing and biofeedback technology. Metabolic typing is a client-specific nutrition system that focuses on the biochemistry behind the health issue. Biofeedback technology measures the electrical activity of the body to provide information about a client’s health and reprogram the body towards optimum health and well-being. A graduate of the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition, Valerie knows that food, environmental and chemical sensitivities are often behind ill-health symptoms and experiences. She believes it is crucial to allow the body to naturally balance and heal itself with nutrient-dense whole foods and lifestyle management.

Anastasia, Megan Ferris and Shelby at Dog Utopia
It wasn’t until she was in her 20s that she was able to have her first full-time dog, Jewel, she recalls, but she found it heartbreaking that she couldn’t spend more time with her while pursuing a career in the banking industry. Came the day when she had to make the tough decision to switch paths and follow her passion, first as a dog-walker, then as the owner of her own dog day care & grooming spa. Today, Megan couldn’t be happier that she made that decision.
ABOUT MY BUSINESS… • Daycare for small to medium size dogs • Grooming for all size dogs • Training classes for all levels of obedience and all breeds • Sedation free teeth cleaning once per month
Whether your dog is at Dog Utopia for a brief pampering visit – taking advantage of a full range of services including bathing, nails, ear cleaning, de-shedding, de-matting and full grooming/ specialty cuts – or enjoying the clean, supervised doggy daycare for small to medium sized dogs, you can rest assured that he or she will be treated just like one of the family. “I do feel like every dog who comes here is an extension of my own family – I feel like I have hundreds of dogs,” Megan says. “It’s all about focusing on what’s best for the dog; making sure they have a safe place to be and somebody looking out for their best interests.” Megan has been working with dogs for 16 years now, and she has taken care to surround herself with other dog lovers, including highly-trained and experienced groomer Anastasia Pikios and part-time assistant manager Shelby Page, as well as the training services of Jeff Rowat, whose positive reinforcement and high standard of behavior techniques result in confident and reliable companion dogs. Megan said that while grooming services are a major part of the business, the daycare is a “very integral part of what we do.” She knows all too well the additional stress of making sure that your pet is occupied, exercised and comfortable while juggling all the demands of contemporary life, work and family. “You can take some of that stress and put it on us,” she says.

ABOUT OUR BUSINESS… • Our local knowledge is priceless • Over 30 years of success in sales & marketing • 100% client satisfaction • Free, no obligation consultations
DESIGNING WOMEN Born and raised in White Rock, the Higgins Boys are deeply entrenched on the Semiahmoo Peninsula with family roots going back over 85 years. “In 1927 our great-grandfather Charles Davey opened the first fish and chip shop on what is now Marine Drive. He also built the Evergreen Ballroom, as well as many homes and commercial buildings in the area, many of which are still standing today,” says Neil Higgins. “In the 1940s and 50s our grandfather Jack Carle owned and operated White Rock Motors,” Neil continued. “It was White Rock’s first Dodge Desoto Chrysler dealership. He also started and sponsored a successful men’s fast pitch team.” “We grew up here,” says Neil’s brother Scott Higgins. “We have a deep appreciation for all the area has to offer: the schools, the beaches, local parks and sporting facilities where we spent so many hours as young men.” “Our local knowledge is extensive, deep and priceless!” Neil and Scott each have over 25 years successful sales and marketing experience. “First and foremost is 100 per cent client satisfaction,” the Higgins brothers agree. “We have been fortunate to work with our many past neighbours, friends, old classmates and family, as well as helping people from other areas relocate to beautiful White Rock and South Surrey.” Neil has been a licensed realtor for over 10 years with well over 200 successful transactions to his credit. Scott, in addition to being a licensed realtor, is also a successful real estate investor and a licensed property manager. “We put the client first,” say the brothers Higgins. “That’s the key to building long-term relationships and helping people achieve their real estate goals.”

ABOUT MY BUSINESS… • Personal Stylist and Hair Colour Specialist
If you are 55 or older I have a question for you… You may have seen your hairdresser But did they see you? As we age we often forget that we need to reassess ourselves in terms of how we do our hair, make-up etc. because the reality of aging is that our features are changing. As an experienced hairdresser/teacher/salon owner it distresses me when I see women who are my age or older with hairstyles that fail to do credit to the natural changes to our features that come with aging. When that happens it fails to reflect the inner woman who has not changed; we laugh, we love, and are intelligent, capable and vibrant!!! For example… My mother lives in the interior so I do not see her on a regular basis. She is one of the most beautiful women I know and she is 82. When I see her haircut it is not done to match her changing features it’s always some version of ‘not quite right.’ The first thing I do is assess the changes in my mothers features and correct the cut so that it not only reflects the best of her features at 82, but also that lively, funny, intelligent women that has not aged with those features. It matters… I appreciate how vibrant, intelligent and beautiful my clients are and most of them are over the age of 55 and well into their 70’s or over. Getting older is not about inner change; we are the same women, it is about normal incremental structural change. You deserve consultations that constantly up date and re-examine your features; you deserve hair color that does more than cover the grey, it must enhance your skin tone, eye color and bring out your lips. Call me today as I would love to meet with you and help you discover the perfect hair style best suited for you!
Committed to harnessing individuality and creating character in the celebration of women.

The Sandpiper Pub has been a cornerstone of White Rock’s east beach scene for more than 30 years, combining a classic neighborhood pub feel, a relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff with a panoramic ocean view from virtually every table. But while the pub continues to cater to longtime regulars with such classic pub fare as traditional fish and chips, owner Judy Baker is thrilled over many new changes on the horizon. The Piper has new family-friendly licensing – parents can now bring children in every day from Sunday through Thursday until 10 p.m., and up to 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday – a kids menu is also being offered – while family karaoke every Wednesday night is also on the drawing board. And the pub also features a “happy hour” with half-price specials every day from 3 to 6 p.m. and from 9 to 11 p.m. every night except Fridays and Saturdays. “It’s very exciting,” Judy says. “It’s going to take us in a whole new direction, and make us more competitive with a lot of other food establishments.” The Sandpiper’s popular Halloween Party returns Oct. 31, featuring karaoke, food and drink specials and “thousands of dollars worth of prizes” Baker says Including a trip to Vegas! The Sandpiper can always be booked for birthday or anniversary parties, and patrons who bring in parking receipts will be reimbursed by the pub. Don’t forget that the Sandpiper serves breakfast every Saturday and Sunday until 3 p.m. (for late risers) and the Sandpiper Liquor store at 1235 Johnston Rd. (near Five Corners) is open 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day of the year.

The provincial government is being urged to freeze rapidly rising Medical Services Plan premiums that critics say have acted like a stealth tax on most families. The recommendation to a budget consultations committee of the Legislature was made by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation’s Jordan Bateman, who cited a 39 per cent jump in MSP premiums over the last six years to $150 per month in 2016 for the average family. “Taxpayers need a break from unfair, never-ending MSP tax hikes,” said Bateman, who argues it’s unfair because people earning $30,000 a year pay the same amount as someone making millions. The Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services was in Surrey, the latest of several stops around the province to collect public input ahead of the 2016 budget. The CTF also called on the province to open ICBC up to more auto insurance competition, and reduce

The Surrey Board of Trade also appeared before the budget committee, urging investments on multiple fronts, including early childhood education, health care and social housing. The business group also reinforced its preference for light rail rapid transit in Surrey over SkyTrain, and for “a comprehensive and fair road pricing policy for the Lower Mainland to allow for equitable funding of transportation infrastructure and transit service.” The all-party committee has also heard from groups urging the province

to resume regular increases to B.C.’s carbon tax.
The Canadian Diabetes Association has also pitched a new tax on soda and other sugary drinks on the grounds that they contribute to rising rates of obesity and diabetes. The CTF said it would prefer government not raise any taxes and pay down debt instead. Many requests for tax reform are recycled year after year. The B.C. Real Estate Association again asked the province to lower
the Property Transfer Tax charged when homes change hands. Finance Minister Mike de Jong signaled some interest in reforming the PTT in response to concerns about housing affordability. He has said the province might create a third tier of the transfer tax that would charge more on the sale of a high-end home, while providing some relief for buyers of entrylevel homes.

Key elements of B.C.’s system of immediate roadside penalties for drunk driving have been upheld by the Supreme Court of Canada, in judgments handed down Friday. “Our belief is that the amendments our government made in June 2012 already address the constitutional issues noted in the court’s decision,” B.C. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said. It’s not yet clear if drivers penalized in the first two years of the program could be compensated. Anton welcomed the ruling, add-

And that is what deters people from
drinking and driving. That’s what keeps our roads safe.” Defence lawyers intend to continue to challenge elements of the B.C. law that were not addressed by the top court. About 18,000 roadside prohibitions are issued each year; about two per cent are successfully challenged through the review process.

Modernizing the typical BC Box home By Nicolle Hodges
From complete renovations to a single room redesign, the first step to achieving the home of your dreams is by working with a trusted renovator. For Ralph Belisle, president of TQ Construction, the project entrusted to him was to transform a typical BC box home into a more modernized style better suited for the 21st century. The homeowners had realized their humble home was dated, considering it had gone untouched since it was built in the sixties. The state of the home before the renovations was like taking a trip back in time. “The floor plan was adequate for [the sixties], but it lacked clear sightlines at both the interior and the exterior, which current lifestyles demand,” explains Belisle. The home was situated to the rear of a very large lot and the homeowners loved to experiment with different foliage in the huge garden area. “We wanted to extend the house in such a way that the interior’s views of the front garden improved and the
interior space became more cohesive among its rooms.” So, the process of transformation began for TQ Construction – a company recognized for its tradition of excellence in BC’s home improvement, renovation and construction industry. Before: They widened the existing “too-tight” garage to include a garage hobby space, which enabled the creation of big living room/family room above. Belisle says the owners particularly loved the vaulted ceilings and the great garden views through the new arch-top windows. Even with a few pricier touches, the renovations stayed within budget. “I look upon the project as one of our successes, which let the inside details was so positive in fact, that be inside and the outside be inde- Belisle says they have since become pendent, even while improving the friends. access and enjoyment between the “The homeowners thought of hirtwo,” Belisle says. “The owner/con- ing us after seeing the way our neightractor team let the house and garden bourhood projects were organised,” interact beautifully, which can easily he says. “During that time we were be seen as one walks up the path to- among the first of local renovators to ward the front door.” adopt job-site recycling, which creThe homeowners’ reaction to these ates a very organised job site.” Now,
the homeowners have agreed to enlist TQ Construction for any projects going forward. With confidence comes peace of mind in the business of building. For TQ Construction, transforming a basic home into a beautiful abode was something they were sure to accomplish. TQ (Top Quality) Construction is
an award-winning home renovation company that includes a complete renovation team of interior designers, carpenters, project managers and office staff. They strive for not only superior value in their results, but incorporate innovative sustainable solutions for the home. To learn more about TQ Construction, visit tqconstruction.ca

Real Cowboys
604-542-3055.
Artist Peter Gutmanis approaches the world of the rodeo circuit from a unique perspective – not only has he worked with beef cattle and horses on his own farm in Quebec, but, as an orthopaedic surgeon, he has observed first-hand the injuries that halfton animals can inflict on human handlers. As a result his paintings, showcased in the exhibit Real Cowboys Wear Hats To Alex Browne Work (Oct. 23-Nov. 21, White Rock Community Centre, 15154 Russell Ave.) succeed in capturing all the awe and fear – and explosive potential for danger – inherent in rodeo riding. Presented by Semiahmoo Arts and the City of White Rock’s Art On Display program, Gutmanis’ dynamic work depicts “the moment when the cowboy, with no more protection than his everyday work clothes, tries to ride the whirlwind.” Opening of the show will be this Friday (Oct. 23) at 5 p.m.
International Artist Day

Blue Frog Studios Direct from Ireland, internationally revered singer, songwriter, historian and entertainer Derek Warfield will bring the old traditions of Irish balladry into a new age on the intimate stage of Blue Frog Studios, 1328 Johnston Rd., this Thursday and Friday (Oct. 22-23, doors at 7 p.m., music at 8 p.m.) with his backup band the Young Wolfe Tones. Opening the concert will be White Rock’s own exceptional contribution to the Celtic scene, award-winning fiddler Kierah Raymond. Over a 40-year career Warfield, founder and leader of the original Wolfe Tones (named for 18th century Irish revolutionary Theobald Wolfe Tone) has chalked up 13 best-selling albums, three number one hits, many television appearances and shows in such fabled venues as Carnegie Hall and London’s Royal Albert Hall. Featured in the Young Wolfe Tones will be Damaris Woods (banjo), Peadar Hickey (guitar, vocals) and Daniel O’Sullivan (Uileann pipes and vocals).

Return feature will be the popular “12 by 12” show of extraordinary treasures up for grabs – mini-paintings by local and internationally-known artists for sale (but exhibited anonymously). Unfortunately, another keenly anticipated feature of the IAD festival, an art and music ‘jam’ originally scheduled for Oct. 25 at Blue Frog Studios, has had to be cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances.

Red Rock Diner There are still a few more chances to rock out to the homegrown Vancouver hit inspired by the career of legendary DJ Red Robinson. Arts Club Theatre’s touring version of Red Rock Diner winds up at Surrey Arts Centre this Saturday (Oct. 24). The premise is simple for this infectious rock ‘n’ roll musical – in 1957 five teens come of age while Robinson spins the hottest platters of the era — from the raucous Great Balls of Fire and Jailhouse Rock to ballads like Diana and Crying. It’s a show that captures the excitement and innocence of the city’s burgeoning rock ‘n’ roll scene as well as showcasing potential stars of tomorrow – as Arts Club publicity points out, the original 1998 touring production featured Michael Bublé and broke box office records at the Surrey Arts Centre. Tickets to the opening night performance (Oct. 14) offer a chance to arrive early to meet Robinson himself, and enjoy complimentary appetizers from 7pm.

White Rock Celtic fiddler Kierah Raymond opens for Derek Warfield and the Young Wolfe Tones at Blue Frog Studios Oct. 22-23. Playhouse (1532 Johnston Rd.). The 1949 classic is a tragic study of the unravelling of the life and dreams of tired commercial traveler Willy Loman. Starring as Willy is club president Fred Partridge, with well-known local actress Jane Mantle in the equally-famous role of Willy’s long-suffering, supportive wife, Linda. Also featured in the production, directed by Ryan Mooney, are Tom Gage and Edwin Perez as older son ‘Biff ’ – a major disappointment to Willy – and younger son ‘Happy,’ who attempts to act as peacemaker in a rapidly disintegrating family situation. Tickets ($22, $19 students, seniors and Coast Capital Savings members) can be purchased through www.whiterockplayers. ca, or from the theatre box, 604536-7535.

Volleyball tournament returns to Semiahmoo Peninsula this weekend
Strong teams expected at PAN Classic Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
Some of the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top high-school girls volleyball players will compete against one another when the Peace Arch News Classic hits local courts this week. The annual senior girls tournament â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a staple of the Semiahmoo Peninsula volleyball scene for years â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â hits the court Friday and Saturday, at Semiahmoo and Elgin Park secondaries. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s field will consist of 15 teams
â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been as high as 28 in years past â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â including a handful that are highly ranked provincially. Cloverdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers and South Surreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Elgin Park Orcas are both ranked inside the top-10 of the provincial 4A rankings, and other teams vying for a tournament title will include Argyle (North Vancouver), Walnut Grove (Langley), Holy Cross and Semiahmoo, among others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a little smaller than some years
because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just so much competition with other tournaments now, but there are a lot of strong teams coming,â&#x20AC;? said tournament organizer Gord Houchen, who also coaches Clayton Heights Secondaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior girls team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It should be very competitive.â&#x20AC;? Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament was won by one of the host squads, as Elgin Park â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who were ranked sixth in B.C. 4A rankings at the time â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â defeated Lambrick Park in the championship game.
The tournament tips off Friday afternoon, with two of the top conteners, Elgin and Tweedsmuir, squaring off at 2 p.m. at Elgin Park. Down the road at Semiahmoo Secondary, the host Totems will play Coquitlamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Centennial Secondary, also at 2 p.m. The playoff rounds will begin at 9 a.m. Saturday, with games scheduled throughout the day and culminating with the championship final at 4:45 p.m. at Semiahmoo.

Surrey squad drops road game 4-3 to Coquitlam Express
Strong play not enough for Eagles to nab win Rick Kupchuk Black Press
For two periods, it looked as though the Surrey Eagles could earn their fourth win of the young BC Hockey League season this past weekend and perhaps climb out of the basement in the Mainland Division standings. But the Eagles surrendered two goals in a five-minute span in the third period Friday night, and lost 4-3 on the road to the Coquitlam Express in their lone game of the weekend. The Eagles remain in last place in the Mainland Division with a 3-9-0-0 (winloss-tied-overtime loss) record, one point back of the 3-10-0-1 Prince George Spruce Kings, and nine points out of a playoff

Surrey Eagles take on Coquitlam Express. position. Surrey carried the play throughout Friday’s game, played at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre, and didn’t trail until
the Express broke a 2-2 tie with their quick strike late in the game. Their most dominant period was the first, a session in which the visiting Eagles out shot the home side 15-6 only to go into the first intermission in a scoreless tie. The Eagles scored twice in the second period. Darren Hards netted the first two and one-half minutes in, but Coquitlam tied the score less than three minutes later. Just 45 seconds after the Express pulled even, the Eagles went up 2-1 on Nathan Deyell’s first goal of the season. Luca Leone of the Express tied the game once more, scoring on the powerplay just shy of the nine-minute mark. Surrey had a slight edge in play in the third period, but it was the home side
taking a 4-2 lead just past the midway point. Kyle Star scored with three minutes to go to give the Eagles some hope, but time ran out with Surrey one goal down. The Eagles outshot their hosts 38-26, but went zero-for-four on the powerplay, while the Express scored on their only manadvantage opportunity. The Eagles play four times this week. Surrey played last night (Tuesday) at home against the Langley Rivermen, and are at the South Surrey Arena again Friday for a 7 p.m. contest with the Chilliwack Chiefs. They are on the road in Washington Saturday and Sunday for two games with the first-year Wenatchee Wild. The Wild lead the Mainland Division standings with an 8-3-1-1 record.

Cigarette smoking is bad for your skin
C
igarette smoking is bad for our health. Period. We all know that smoking can lead to such terrible tragedies as lung cancer, stroke and heart attack, making smoking one of the leading causes of preventable deaths world-wide. What many people do not know very well, is that smoking is bad for the health of our skin as well. Just look at the skin of a chronic smoker. It is often drier and full of wrinkles, making smokers look much older than they actually are. This is because the chemicals found in cigarettes damage collagen, which is the main connective tissue keeping our skin flexible, smooth and vibrant. Smoking also constricts blood flow so that proper moisture and nourishment is not able to saturate the skin properly, leaving the skin dry and withered looking. Impaired collagen production and poor circulation also leads to a decreased ability to heal from cuts and wounds, putting smokers at greater risk to suffer with stubborn infections. Cigarette smoking also puts the immune system into a state of chronic inflammation,

triggering off such skin diseases as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, hand eczema, hair loss, acne and lupus. Nicotine in tobacco is an immune-suppressant, which means that smokers tend to have higher rates of HPV infections (warts), herpes, malignant melanoma and other skin cancers. Research has pointed out that the ill effects of smoking on skin health is not limited to just the smokers themselves, as those who are passively breathing in smoke can be affected as well. Children exposed to second hand smoke, either with the mother smoking cigarettes during her pregnancy or by someone smoking regularly in their home environment, have a much greater risk of developing, not only eczema, but other allergic diseases such as asthma and hay fever. If you are a smoker, I encourage you to quit for the sake of your overall health. A new year is approaching so why not make a commitment to a healthier lifestyle. Your skin and the rest of your body will thank you! Wishing you the best of health, Dr. Erikson

A new 10-bed adolescent mental-health unit is to open in Surrey in 2017.

10 short-stay psych beds to open in 2017
Youth unit delayed a year crashes. B.C. Nurses Union president Gayle Duteil said Fraser should reopen an adolescent psych unit in Abbotsford that was shut down in 2009. “Fraser Heath has repeatedly stated the new teen mental health unit in Surrey would be open in 2016,” Duteil said. “Telling youth and their families who are in crisis that they’ll have to wait a yearand-a-half for a bed is not safe patient care.” Fraser spokesperson Tasleem Juma said the Abbotsford unit was converted to an adolescent day treatment program because it was underused and youth who needed it could be treated at Surrey’s adolescent psych unit. She said the CAPSU unit will be a significant improvement when it opens, but rejected suggestions youth mental-health services are unacceptable in the meantime. “No child is turned away,” Juma said. Fraser Health hospitals have seen the number of emergency visits by young people with mental-health problems double in the past five years.
Driver complaints spur changes
Highway signage fix en route Complaints from drivers about confusing signage along Metro Vancouver highways have prompted the province’s transportation ministry to make changes in some areas, including along Highway 17. The $1.3-billion South Fraser Perimeter Road slashed across existing highways in Delta and Surrey when it opened in 2013, creating a spider’s web of new on- and off-ramps and overpasses. Drivers coming up Highway 17 from the Tsawwassen ferry terminal can be confused by the Highway 99 exit sign that says “Vancouver – USA border” before the exit lane splits in the two opposing directions. The ministry says it will add other major destinations to the sign, including Richmond and Surrey,
to better indicate where the exit can take drivers. The province also says it will add Surrey and Langley to exit signs on Highway 99 southbound after exit 20 directing drivers to take Highway 91 and then Highway 10. Extra signs are also promised for drivers on Highway 17 to show the alternate route to Surrey via Highway 99 south. In Abbotsford, the ministry said it will remove a sign that incorrectly indicates a sharp right curve from Fraser Highway onto Highway 1 that it says may have confused some drivers. It also pledged to make the lights brighter in the George Massey Tunnel and to improve signage on how to access the Vancouver landfill in Delta via Highway 17.

OBITUARIES
OBITUARIES
BLACK, John S. 1957 - 2015
It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the tragic passing of Dr. John S. Black at the age of 58. John leaves behind his loving wife of 25 years, Susy Pierazzo, and adoring ten year old son, Derek; mother Silvia Law, sister Jean Black and nieces Robyn and Lauren Kempers, residing in Chilliwack ; mother-in-law Raffaella and brother-in-law Renzo, sister-inlaw Pam, residing in London, Ontario. John grew up on a farm in West Langley. He graduated in 1975 from Langley Senior Secondary and courageously returned to Queen Elizabeth Secondary to upgrade years later. He earned his BSc at UBC and carried on his studies at the University of Waterloo where he earned his Doctor of Optometry degree. It was at the U of W where John met Susy, the love of his life. They settled in South Surrey in 1989. John was a gifted optometrist in a well-respected clinic on Scott Road for 26 years. He thoroughly enjoyed his profession and the relationships with his patients and coworkers. John loved music, hockey, skiing, and tennis and derived even greater pleasure in doing these activities with Derek, the best gift of John and Susyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives. They also shared a passion of nature and animals that earned John the nick name â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nature Boyâ&#x20AC;?. John was a relaxed, fun-loving and creative force with Derek plus many other children. He was a classic car enthusiast and had meticulously restored his 1959 Austin-Healey. Susy and John had a loving marriage built on mutual respect and friendship. Susy thrived on Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to expand her life experiences while he thrived on her cooking. They shared many great travel adventures before Derek came along and continued doing so as a family. John wanted nothing more than to be the best husband and best dad ever. And he was. He adored his family and they adored him. John was an extraordinary, genuine friend to many. He was a joy to be with and everyone thrived on his wit and intelligent sense of humour. His family and friends will so greatly miss him and his many virtues. He enriched our lives. John, we trust you are at peace. A celebration of life will be Friday, October 23 at 1:00pm at Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre 14831 28 Ave, Surrey. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to White Rock South Surrey Hospice, Peace Arch Hospital Foundation and Marmot Recovery Foundation. Online condolences can be offered at www.victoryfuneralcentre.ca Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre r XXX WJDUPSZGVOFSBMDFOUSF DB
