$700,000 estimated to study relocating waterfront railway inland
Moving tracks ‘does little for Surrey’ Kevin Diakiw Black Press
A technical study on whether it’s feasible to move the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway train tracks inland from the White Rock and Surrey waterfront will cost about $700,000. And it’s a move that will largely benefit White Rock and do little for Surrey residents, according to Mayor Linda Hepner. “The real winners would be the City of White Rock,” Hepner told Peace Arch News’ sister paper, the Surrey Leader, Wednesday. “They don’t have to look at ‘what are the implications of that move and what does it

Noting that “three-
quarters of the rail frontage is in Surrey,” Baldwin said it makes more sense that the cities band together on the issue. “If there’s going to be an accident, it’s going to happen in Surrey, so they have a vested interest in this,” he said, a sentiment he reiterated at his Oct. 7 state-of-the-city address to the South Surrey & White Rock Chamber of Commerce. Earlier this month, Hepner told PAN that she agreed the two cities “need to have a united front on this issue” and that there are some “Surrey-specific issues” that need to be examined first. i see page 4
White Rock planning
MP-elect looks ahead
City growth on agenda
Watts focuses on safety
Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter
White Rock council will have the chance to explore what the lower Regional Growth Strategy population projections mean for future development in the city, with a staff report expected in the weeks ahead. City staff and council were surprised to learn last month that Metro Vancouver had cut White Rock’s projected population growth – subject of a much-debated letter to Peace Arch News from Mayor Wayne Baldwin in August – to 3,500 from 7,000 by 2040. While Metro officials described the change as a “minor housekeeping amendment,” the city’s director of planning said it “has potential to have a big impact” on the city. “It will certainly make our OCP (official community plan) review easier and more in line with the community expectations that we’re hearing,” Karen Cooper told council Sept. 14, following a presentation by Metro Vancouver. Cooper pointed to a July report in which she wrote that the high projection figure would likely not be accommodated in the town centre area alone, however, she noted the new figure “certainly can be accommodated in the town centre.” i see page 4

MP-elect Dianne Watts says she wants to take a proactive rather than reactive approach to dealing with issues of importance in the South Surrey-White Rock riding. And that includes two of her key issues – rail and public safety. “When issues arise in the community it’s important to make sure that you are proactive, to make sure the community is being heard and that you are taking the issues seriously,” she told Peace Arch News Wednesday. The former Surrey mayor, one of five Conservatives elected in Metro Vancouver in Monday night’s Liberal majority, said she doesn’t feel that being an opposition MP necessarily has to be a hindrance in representing the riding in Ottawa. “I think there are many things I can do for the community although, without a doubt, it’s easier to do some things when you are a member of the party in government,” she said. i see page 5

Land expropriation now before the courts
Legal appeal silences civic delegation Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter
A South Surrey man whose business is being shut down after the city expropriated his property was told by city staff he’s not allowed to present council with a 900-signature petition calling for the decision to be reversed. Ken Poirier, general manager of Riverside Golf Centre, told Peace Arch News this week he had planned to appear as a delegation before Surrey city council Nov. 2. He had hoped to appear in regards to the city’s expropriation of the 16-acre parcel of land at 3600 King George Blvd., which houses a driving range, Par 3 nine-hole golf course and pro-shop and has been in operation for nearly 50 years. However, on Monday, Poirier said he was shocked to learn from the city clerk that he can’t present to council for legal reasons.
“That’s what you’d expect in a dictatorship,” Poirier said, calling the reasoning “ridiculous.” “So after we go to court in two or three years, then we can talk to council?” City solicitor Anthony Capuccinello confirmed to PAN Wednesday that Poirier would not be able to appear before council, because the matter is still before the courts. Although the expropriation was finalized in June, the compensation – which Poirier said last month is a fraction of what he feels the property is worth – is the subject of an appeal claim. “When you have matters that are in litigation, it is the practice of the city not to have delegations before council,” Capuccinello said. “There are a variety of reasons for that, the biggest one being that it’s before the courts and there are issues of privilege.” The city’s reasoning for taking over the land, according to an expropriation notice

With almost 900 signatures in hard copy form petitioning for the city to reconsider, and another 225 online, Poirier said he hoped to show council the impact the golf course’s closure will have on residents. “They’re basically surgically cutting out part of the social fabric of the community,” Poirier said, noting he has many customers who have been golfing there for decades. “That’s the thing that’s being lost on council.” When reached for comment, Mayor Linda Hepner said on advice from her legal counsel neither she nor other members of council would discuss the matter. Poirier said the city is trying to get him to agree to vacate the property by the end of January. In the meantime, he is having his own appraisal of the land done and has retained legal counsel for renegotiation purposes. – with files from Kevin Diakiw
Security expands
Residents join anti theft club Phyllis Olenik remembers walking out of work about a year ago to see her car pulling out of the parking space she’d left it in. The theft was how the White Rock resident discovered that the anti-theft club she’d been using on her 1992 Honda Accord was no longer working. Replacing the club was an easy – and inexpensive – thing to do Wednesday, when White Rock RCMP Community Policing hosted a giveaway for residents who own vehicles pre-dating built-in immobilizers, or vehicles deemed at high-risk for theft. Olenik was among several residents to take advantage of the opportunity. One man came to get a club for a 1975 Ford F150 he is restoring. Another, Glen Jones, said he needed one for his 1997 Ford F150. “My wife says I have a highly desirable vehicle,” Jones quipped when he arrived at the White Rock Community Centre, where the initiative was held. No stranger to using anti-theft

Underground only solution: Hepner i from page 1 In September 2014 – in one of the first public speeches of her Surrey First mayoral campaign – Hepner announced in Crescent Beach that she was committed to relocating the BNSF line, pledging a focus on the issue and naming safety as her biggest concern with the trains. She cited the impact to access and egress from Crescent Beach whenever a train breaks down in the area, and questioned how many more heavy, long trains the bluffs can take. “These trains are now completely isolating an entire community,” Hepner said, promising that, if elected mayor, she would immediately engage BNSF in discussions to have the tracks moved to a more direct, faster and safer inland route. She also acknowledged then that she hadn’t always backed the call for relocation, noting in the past she was “not certain the frequency (of the trains) warranted it.” A year earlier, following a city forum on rail relocation, Hepner described discussion of a “Utopia” without tracks on the waterfront without BNSF support as premature, and said the issue is not isolated to Surrey/White Rock. “The question arises that, if we’re going to move our rails,

who else in this nation may wish to move theirs? It’s such a big conversation and we’re a ways away from that coming to fruition,” she said in December 2013. Train activity along White Rock’s waterfront has increased over the past 16 years, leaving several residents in that city concerned about possible negative outcomes. The route sees trains run along the White Rock and Crescent Beach waterfronts. Fears heightened after the LacMégantic derailment disaster in July 2013. Forty-seven people in the Quebec town were killed in that petroleum explosion, which levelled roughly half of the downtown core of Lac-Mégantic. A jogger was also killed on the tracks in White Rock that same month. A corporate report to Surrey council outlines some of the
other concerns being raised by residents near the track. “Transportation of simple construction materials and mail has transitioned to include coal and other materials such as chlorine and liquefied natural gas,” the report to council states. It outlines concerns of locals, including noise disruption, public safety, bluff erosion, dangerous goods, incident management and environmental concerns. The report indicates the technical study and preparation work will cost at least $700,000. The cost of moving the tracks is estimated at at least $350 million to $450 million, and far more if the track needed to be realigned to a spot underground. And that’s the only way Hepner would consider moving it. “I am not prepared to talk about moving the track from one arena, and then creating a problem in another arena,” Hepner said Wednesday. “All of that work I want better-defined before we look at that.” It will take three to five years to complete all the preparation work, including studies and consultation with the federal transportation agency. – with files from Melissa Smalley, Alex Browne & Tracy Holmes

growth numbers in the town centre, currently zoned for high-density. Not all of council was on board with limiting high-density growth to the town centre area, however. After hearing Cooper’s comments at the Sept. 14 meeting, Couns. Grant Meyer and Lynne Sinclair noted developments in other areas of the city and the possibility there would be more to come. “We may have stuff along the North Bluff corridor and other small, in-fill subdivi-
sions,” Meyer said, noting he had numerous comments from residents asking why the city isn’t focusing more on the town centre. “You can’t force these people who own the property to develop.” Sinclair pointed to the Royce and the Belaire as developments outside the town centre. “There have been significant ones outside of the town centre that do come along, and they’re never easy decisions, but they do come forward,” she said. “I wouldn’t
expect a report to say ‘because growth must happen in the town centre, we’re not going to consider them at all.’” In the coming weeks, Cooper said, she expects to report on the results of an Oct. 8 OCP open house, which had more than 100 people in attendance, as well as a new online survey at www.talkwhiterock.ca “This is an important part of getting their input… to set the direction for how the policies are going to be developed,” she said.

If students in Surrey and Delta decided the outcome of this week’s federal election, most of the local results mirrored their adult counterparts. But it would have been a noticeably different result in South Surrey-White Rock – if only by the slimmest of margins. More than 850,000 students in 6,000 schools Canada-wide cast ballots in mock boxes this week as part of Student Vote 2015. About 165,500 students in B.C. voted, with thousands of younger students and teens in Surrey among those who took part. The Surrey-Newton, Surrey Centre, Fleetwood-Port Kells and Cloverdale-Langley City ridings all went to the Liberals in the student vote, just as they did after the election on Monday night. The only riding where the student vote differed was South Surrey-White Rock. While former Surrey mayorturned-Conservative Dianne Watts won by about 1,400 votes – or 44 per cent to 41.5 per cent – in the actual election, students at the 19 schools participating in that neighbourhood voted to elect Liberal Judy Higginbotham instead. It was only by a hair, however, as Higginbotham secured 932 votes to Watts’ 925 – or 35.3 per cent to 35.04 per cent. Such a narrow win would likely have sparked a re-count in the general election.

The rest of the candidates lined up the same as the adult vote, but with the last four candidates each receiving larger shares: NDP Pixie Hobby (12.69-10.4 per cent), Green Larry Colero (11.93-3.4 per cent), Libertarian Bonnie Hu (3.60-0.5 per cent) and Progressive Canadian Brian
Connor Gillies votes alongside his Pacific Heights classmates. Marlatt (1.44-0.2 per cent). Canada-wide, the student vote echoed the adult vote nationally, with a Liberal government taking power with 37 per cent support. The Liberals actually secured more seats in the student vote than the real election, while the Conservatives received fewer. The NDP did about the same, while the Green party landed four seats, compared to one. The Student Vote program has been run for about 10 years by Civix, a non-partisan group.

n the wake of Monday’s election, prime minister-designate Justin Trudeau is carrying around a lengthy laundry list of promises. Many are urging that he immediately make good on a pledge to re-examine Canada’s “firstpast-the-post” electoral system. Trudeau’s 32-point plan to “restore democracy” included creating an all-party parliamentary committee to look at potential alternatives, including proportional representation, ranked ballots, mandatory voting and online voting. Worrying to many is that the current system – in which the candidate who receives the highest number of votes wins that riding – does not require the winner to glean a majority of votes cast. Since the number of votes can be split as many ways as there are parties and candidates, it means the person who ends up representing the seat in Ottawa may also represent a minority of the constituents. Detractors also note that the system encourages the “strategic voting,” concept – much vaunted during the recent election – in which individuals may cast ballots only against the candidate they least want to see in office. In neither of these scenarios, opponents argue, can the true will of the electorate be seen. Among alternatives to first-past-the-post, the strongest and most frequently suggested is proportional representation, in which seats in the Commons are apportioned according each party’s share of the popular vote. But not only does this frequently mean electing multiple members in each district, it also means it would be hard for any party to gather a majority of seats and, consequently, an increase in the number of coalition governments. Neither first-past-the-post nor proportional representation, it can be argued, is without faults or likely to remove voter dissatisfaction entirely. There is simply no pleasing everyone. But the task of fine-tuning and weighing the electoral process to ensure fair proportional representation in each riding would seem to be endless – and quite possibly – fruitless. Where would such well-meaning but arbitrary tampering begin and, even more importantly, where would it end? It might quickly become the proverbial road to hell, paved with good intentions but fraught with complications. First-past-the-post seems to remain by far the simplest option. In an imperfect world, voters must ask themselves what’s so wrong, really, with a good, old-fashioned, high school popularity contest.

if you look for the same sources being referenced over and over, or if adjectives like “besieged”, “inexperienced” or the aforementioned “popular” describing a political figure turn up in news copy in all but the most exceptional circumstances. We in the media must fight that urge, just as we must fight any lack of objectivity inherent in simply being human. While the Internet has provided solace in recent years – giving more opportunities for diverse voices to be heard – it’s also added complications, as some websites that have intrinsic biases promote themselves as media sources, and readers promote their stories online in the same click of a mouse as traditional news sources governed by laws and ethics. Yes, I can already imagine the response from critics of this paper during my tenure for the better part of this past decade. And I know there are some who feel I have given too much weight to certain issues and personalities, while ignoring others. To that, all I can suggest is that our mantra of accuracy and fairness is often discussed behind the scenes here, and we’re always on the lookout for news that affects our community.

Mayoral reactions Editor: Re: Absolutely no reason to resign: mayor, Oct. 7. This issue is now clear as mud. I would hope we would see more open, accountable, and transparent governance in White Rock. In all levels of the public service, there has long been a culture of clarity and plain language with respect to communication and written documents. If something can’t be explained at a Grade 9 level of education, you need to work at making it absolutely understandable. This goes not only for public servants but also the legal profession. It is my perspective that either Mayor Wayne Baldwin misinterpreted the legal advice, or the legal advice provided was possibly invalid. Hence, there are three options: 1. Obtain independent legal advice on the legal opinion provided to council as to its validity/clarity; 2. If the opinion was incorrect, or not clear to the layperson, don’t use that lawyer again and explain to citizens how it was easily misread; 3. Resign/dismiss if the mayor clearly misinterpreted, whatever his intent in doing so. Perhaps the city manager could be called upon for his understanding of this matter, co-ordinate the legal review so that the issue is depoliticized, and thus provide clarity to White Rock citizens? It’s apparent that confidence must be restored. John Mackintosh, Surrey Q Because the White Rock mayor expresses population growth targets for the city he represents that comply with White Rock’s legal obligations under the Metro Vancouver Regional Growth Strategy (RGS), is this a reasonable basis for panic in the streets, public insurrection and mass protests? Similarly, because several companies receive permission to conduct public meetings regarding proposed residential/commercial developments, is this a reasonable
basis for members of the public to allege that the mayor has “breached the public trust” and should resign? Absolutely not! And persons who would allege otherwise are either corrupt or unforgivably ignorant! While it is true that Metro Vancouver’s RGS does not empower Metro to, in an unfettered manner, dictate to White Rock what its future population targets will be, it is also true that White Rock is not legally allowed to choose population growth targets – or allow population growth to occur – that conflicts with targets delineated in Metro’s RGS. Responsible persons who are truly concerned about and working for the best interests of all White Rock residents would be attempting to have city hall end its decade-long negligent malpractice of not ever evaluating and not ever publicly reporting on objectives contained within White Rock’s current OCP and the city’s other multi-year foundational plans. This instead of staging febrile, junior high-schooltype stunts- based on unethical, dishonest, self-serving pretexts… The only real threat to White Rock
and its future are the city-councilwannabees that, for the last several months, have been attempting to mislead and manipulate residents, business owners and others into believing that there are justifiable reasons for demanding that White Rock’s mayor should resign. Roderick V. Louis, White Rock Q Re: In a word: statesmanlike, Oct. 9 editorial. A masterpiece! If only the mayor could live up to it. Gerry Houlden, White Rock
Niqab debate obscured Editor: Re: Sound reason against niqabs, Oct. 14 letters. I read with dismay the letter to the editor using “hearing-impaired people” as a reason against niqabs. I don’t know what the letter writer means by hearing-impaired, a politically incorrect term. Having been deaf all my 71 years
of life and especially having had absolutely no hearing to impair in the first place, I must object to her ill-conceived fantasy that deaf people in general can lip read. English is one of the most unlipreadable languages on the planet with no more than 25 per cent of English words being somewhat clearly lipreadable! That is the main reason we deaf people must resort to the American Sign Language, the language I believe the letter writer has chosen not to learn and appreciate. She owes deaf people an apology for prolonging this horrendous misconception of the wonders of lip reading. As for the niqabs, I’m neutral but condemn the Conservatives for their narrow-mindedness. Let the ladies who wear them decide for themselves. Wayne Sinclair, Surrey Q My only concern with the niqab is security. It’s a matter of time before some bad guy would don a niqab masquerading as a female to commit crime, and those security video cameras wouldn’t be of much help in solving the crime.

Dianne Watts addresses her South Surrey-White Rock supporters and media at her election-night victory celebration.
Messages for an incoming MP An open letter to MP-elect Dianne Watts. I look forward to having you represent us in Ottawa with the same vigour and success as you showed during your great tenure as mayor of Surrey. As the new rep for our Semiahmoo communities, I’d appreciate knowing your position on rail relocation. We know you lobbied for relocation a few years back when still mayor, however this is a new era for you. Unfortunately, you were unable to make the allcandidates debate on the topic (Rail relocation a popular view, Oct. 9), so we did not hear your current stand. As a South Surrey resident of 25 years, I grow more concerned as extremely hazardous goods roll along our beautiful waterfront under a highly unstable bluff famous for sliding through the stormy season. The trains are more frequent, heavier and longer and the content more toxic – the chlorine and hydrochloric acid cars are nasty but the ever-increasing crude-oil trains are the worst – making the possibility of disaster very real. Another LacMégantic could happen here in a heartbeat. I am one of the most optimistic people you will meet, but the odds are not stacking up in our favour. Almost all of your fellow candidates were in favour of track relocation away from the waterfront, and committed to working on this immediately and emphatically. I think all of your concerned constituents would like to know what the next steps will be to ensure the safety of all who live and play in the Semiahmoo Peninsula. Mountains of work has been done – we need a strong representative to take our situation to Ottawa and fight to get it done. We look forward to your reply. Gail Terry, Surrey
Q Editor: I watched with interest as the votes were tallied in my riding in this federal election, because I’d held my nose when I voted in order to support the Liberal candidate because the polls had put her at 69 per cent in the lead. I have been a member of the NDP all my voting life but decided I would vote strategically in an attempt to remove the Conservative control of the seat in the South SurreyWhite Rock riding. Unfortunately, that did not happen. What did happen was a strong message to candidate Dianne Watts that this was not a shoo-in by any means. Your constituents are very split, Ms. Watts, so you should not by any stretch of the imagination believe you have a strong mandate to only answer to those with Conservative ideals and values. You should be prepared to go to Parliament with the idea of co-operation and the trust that Prime Ministerelect Justin Trudeau sees us all as Canadians and that all our concerns dealt with in a fair and equitable manner. Oh, and thanks for not returning my call… Gordon Fletcher, Surrey Q Dianne Watts must now prove she is worthy of the 24,934 residents who have put their faith in her. She in turn, must not lose sight of the fact that 31,697 residents of South Surrey/White Rock did not vote in her favour. The difference between the Conservative and Liberal candidates was only a narrow enough margin of 1,439. Fran Manary, Surrey

Critical role likely for Watts in opposition
A lineup of new faces S
urrey and Delta voters chose to go a different direction Monday, with five of the six local ridings now Liberal. Other than Sukh Dhaliwal in Surrey-Newton, who will return to Ottawa as a Liberal MP (he served from 2006-2011), all the MPs elected from the area are new to federal politics. The heavy Liberal representation from this area is a significant change. Most areas of Surrey have not been represented by a Liberal in Ottawa since 1953, while in Delta the most recent Liberal MP was last in office in 1972. What caused this change?

lawyer and a professor move to Canada from Pakistan. How long does it take them to find work? Too long, the Bokhari family will tell you. For them, that day has yet to come. It’s been nearly two years since Javaria Bokhari, husband Jahangir and their two children arrived in Surrey – and the hunt for jobs in their respective fields has forced them to move to Ontario. Their story is not unique. Forty per cent of Surrey’s population are foreign-born. Plus, in a survey done by the Surrey Local Immigrant Partnership of more than 500 people, 41 per cent of local immigrants reported difficulty finding employment that matches their education and skills. But back to the Bokharis. They were fleeing the city of Peshawar, a Pakistani city rife with Kevin Hill photo terrorism, regularly hit by suicide Despite professional training as a lawyer and professor, Jahangir and Javaria Bokhari were unable to find bombers. adequate employment to support their family when they immigrated to Surrey from Pakistan in 2013.

accreditation. Javaria would like to see the immigration process better prepare newcomers, noting she had no idea it would prove this difficult to find work in her field. She had a friend who was a psychologist who immigrated to Canada and found a new job quickly. Her two brothers became Canadian citizens in 1998 and landed jobs as well. “But when I came in 2013, the whole scenario was so different, challenging and demanding that I was bewildered,” she said. “The accreditation process should be done before the immigrants migrate from their countries…. The Internet and the email process is so easy to be done from everywhere. “The second thing is that if they don’t have a job market for those people who are already settled in their countries, they should be given that information. “I’m simply, simply not happy.”
Talking immigration A Vital Signs report card released in 2014 noted a number of factors inhibit one’s ability to establish a life in Surrey. Lack of employment and affordable housing were two of the obstacles identified. The report stated it takes newcomers about five years to find work at rates similar to the community’s employment rate. And when they do find work, it’s at a lower pay scale ($33,668) than the median individual pay scale ($45,642). “A lot of the issues are the same for both groups (youth and newcomers). It’s about getting started – getting established, getting a job, getting education, finding housing,” said Jeff Hector with SurreyCares, which produced the report. “After coming to these conclusions, we decided to focus on a newcomer and youth Vital Signs report card.” That report is expected to be released on Nov. 3.

Evolving with the market The Peninsula’s local real estate company, Bay Realty, settles into a new home White Rock’s oldest real estate company has experience a lot of change on the Peninsula over the past 33 years. Our first office stood where the Miramar Towers in White Rock now stand, and our second location made way for the Avra tower. After giving up two locations to the ever-changing landscape of White Rock, we made the move to South Surrey in 2011. It made sense at the time, as we still wanted to be close to the water and the centre of the Peninsula.
It only took 33 years for Bay Realty to find the perfect home… Now, after 33 years, we have finally moved into our own permanent home at Bayview Terrace located at 13585-
Reception area at our new office
16 Avenue at the corner of 136th Street opposite Ray Shepherd Elementary. Two years ago, owners Geof Glazier and Louise McKnight discovered this location and knew it would be the perfect place to relocate their team of 34 sales and administrative professionals as well as to better serve their clients. This fantastic location combines the best of space and technology. Previous agents such as Frank Groff, Jack Sutherland, Ken Sully, Rick Friesen, Denise and Ralph Stevenson, Patrice Shore and Katherine Volway have always been held in the highest regard when it comes to helping their clients buy and sell real estate. The same holds true for our current group of agents. Bay Realty has always embraced the changes on the Peninsula, and as White Rock’s oldest real estate company we look forward to serving all your real estate needs for another 33 years and beyond. Stop by and see us today! New look. New location. Same great people.

Join the City’s Engineering and Operations team and City consultants as they speak on the proposed update of the City’s Development Cost Charges (DCCs). DCCs are monies collected from land developers, by a municipality, to offset some of the infrastructure expenditures incurred to service the needs of new development. Imposed by bylaw, the charges are intended to finance City’s capital projects related to roads, drainage, sewers, water and parkland. The DCC program provides the City with an opportunity to identify growth-related projects and proportion the costs accordingly to the development community. More details about the cost charges, the technical equations and analysis will be discussed at this Open House. At this meeting, TransLink will have a community booth.

Liberals win 16 ridings across Lower Mainland
Most of Metro painted red Jeff Nagel Black Press
B.C.’s urban landscape in the Lower Mainland is no longer carved up almost exclusively between the federal New Democrats and Conservatives. Liberal candidates, propelled by the popularity of leader Justin Trudeau, pulled off multiple upsets in Monday’s federal election and were poised to capture as many as 16 ridings in urban areas including the North Shore, nearly all of Surrey and parts of the Fraser Valley, up from just two seats previously. The red wave washed away Conservative and NDP MPs alike. Among the defeated are National Revenue Minister Kerry Lynne Findlay in Delta, a traditional Conservative stronghold. The new MP there is Liberal Carla Qualtrough, a human rights lawyer and paralympian. Conservative MP Nina Grewal, criticized for missing local debates, lost to former TransLink spokesman and Liberal candidate Ken Hardie in Fleetwood-Port Kells. Other Conservative MPs defeated by Liberals include Andrew Saxton and John Weston, both on the North Shore and Wai Young in

In Mission-Matsqui-Fraser Canyon, in another close battle, Liberal contender Jati Sidhu took a traditionally Conservative riding deep in the Fraser Valley by more than 1,000 votes. Conservatives survived in their safest Valley seats, as did New Democrats such as former MLA Jenny Kwan in Vancouver East and Peter Julian in New Westminster-Burnaby. The two incumbent Liberal MPs, Hedy Fry and Joyce Murray, were easily re-elected. Other notable Liberals that will be MPs on the government side include former West Vancouver Mayor Pamela Goldsmith-Jones. The Conservatives are reduced to a rump of five seats in the Lower Mainland, while the NDP stand to be reduced to four seats. Province-wide, unofficial results as of Wednesday indicate the Liberals took 17 seats and nearly 35.2 per cent of the popular vote. The NDP retained 14 seats, with 25.9 per cent of the vote, while the Conservatives got 10 seats, with 30 per cent support. Greens got 2.4 per cent but did not gain additional seats besides that of party leader Elizabeth May. Provincial turnout was 70.36 per cent.

Liberal wave made tactic moot except in pockets
Effect of strategic vote unclear Jeff Nagel
ance the budget made him seem like “a small ‘C’ Conservative” compared to the bolder Liberals. “They weren’t able to solidify this idea that they were the vehicle for change,” Canseco said.
Black Press
For months, anti-Conservative campaigners from environmentalists to veterans tried to persuade like-minded voters to coalesce behind the strongest opponent in each riding. But as the dust settles on the Liberals’ powerful majority victory Monday, it’s unclear if those strategic voting attempts had great effect, other than to demolish Green Party hopes to add seats. Organizations like LeadNow and the Dogwood Initiative funded riding-level polls to try to help guide progressive voters. LeadNow recommended NDP candidates in 11 B.C. ridings, and the Liberals for two seats on the North Shore. All but three of those chosen candidates won their races. One notable exception was the choice of the NDP candidate in Vancouver-Granville who ended up third behind the Liberal victor and the Conservative runner-up as voters apparently disregarded the advice. Mario Canseco, vice-president of Insights West, which did polling for Dogwood, said strategic voting attempts appear to have had more effect on Vancouver Island than in the Lower Mainland, where those efforts were swamped by the strength of the Liberal wave. “There are certain pockets where strategic voting worked very well and probably enabled some NDP victories,” he said, adding a few New Democrats

Groups opposing the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion sought to pursuade voters to vote strategically against Conservatives. were elected on the Island who otherwise would not likely have prevailed over Conservatives. LeadNow made no recommendations in some ridings presumed to be safe Conservative seats that ended up hotly contested. Those included South Surrey-White Rock, where Conservative Dianne Watts narrowly prevailed, as well as Mission-Matsqui-Fraser Canyon and CloverdaleLangley City, where Liberals unexpectedly captured turf that traditionally went Tory. It’s difficult, Canseco said, for progressive strategists to get enough granular ridinglevel data on individual races to gauge how they are evolving in time to be useful to voters. Strategic voting was based on the premise that Liberals, NDP and Green supporters would risk leaving room for Con-
servatives to win many races unless they first settled on a single consensus candidate. A shorter campaign might have resulted in a Conservative victory, he said. Instead, the Liberals had more time to build momentum and present leader Justin Trudeau as a viable prime minister. Canseco doesn’t accept one theory that the red wave resulted mainly from the Conservatives’ choice to emphasize the niqab issue in Quebec, harming NDP chances there and making the Liberals seem the more obvious alternative for the anyone-but-Harper movement. He said NDP leader Tom Mulcair simply did not perform as well in debates or on the campaign trail as he did before in the House of Commons, and the choice to bal-
In the campaign’s final week, several prominent B.C. environmentalists publicly turned away from the Greens in favour of either the NDP or Liberals, in the name of preventing another Conservative government. Green leader Elizabeth May likened it to being gunned down by “friendly fire.” When the votes were tallied, the Green vote in B.C. had increased only marginally – from 7.7 per cent to 8.2 per cent – and they hung onto only May’s seat. Speaking to supporters on election night, May said strategic voting was a major factor. “Particularly on Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland was the notion that people who wanted to vote green shouldn’t. Couldn’t. Would be bad people if they did,” she said. That was hard to overcome, May said, because many Greens, Liberals and New Democrats shared the same priority. “It was simply not possible to imagine this country enduring a single second more of Stephen Harper’s policies.”

‘Beneficial interest’ handed over
City transfers Campbell Heights land
“Building a home and financing our business, it’s everything we’ve worked for.” Karen and Wilfred, Chilliwack Members
The City of Surrey has transferred ‘beneficial interest’ in a city-owned Campbell Heights North property to Surrey City Development Corporation (SCDC). That means the corporation can benefit from use of the 38.8 parcel – between 38 and 40 Avenue east of 192 Street – which will to support its on-going business activities, without actually owning the land. According to a report to the city from its solicitor, Craig MacFarlane, and SCDC president and CEO Aubrey

Kelly, the transfer will “facilitate the ongoing development of the Campbell Heights North Lands.” In supporting the SCDC’s business objectives for 2015, the move also enables SCDC “to engage in future strategic deals which will ultimately result in the addition of further valuable developments and infrastructure within Surrey.” It will also allow the city to maintain the lowest tax rates in the Lower Mainland – “all of which serves the city’s best interests,” Kelly and MacFarlane said.
The matter will now proceed to B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster. A trial date has not been set. During a court appearance late last year, he appeared somewhat frail and required an interpreter. His next court date is Nov. 12. – Sheila Reynolds

Kwantlen Student Association president Allison Gonzalez said she was “thrilled” and “proud” of KPU’s decision to respect Kwantlen First Nation concerns and rescind the agreement. Incoming Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, elected Monday, has indicated the Liberals would reform the federal review process that is now considering the Trans Mountain expansion.

Q
A.
What is Bio Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Bio identical hormones replacement therapy (BHRT) involves the treatment of hormone deficiencies using hormones that are identical to those naturally produced in the body. Conventional hormone therapy on the other hand, uses hormones that have been chemically altered so that they can be patented and sold as a drug. It is this chemically altered drug form of hormone therapy that has received much negative attention regarding the side effects associated with hormone therapy. The goal of bio identical hormones replacement therapy (BHRT) is to achieve a natural hormone balance in the body resulting in symptom relief and improved well being without the side effects. BHRT is used to treat a variety of hormone deficiencies such as menopause, peri-menopause, hypothyroidism, and adrenal deficiencies. It can also be used to facilitate weight loss and treat infertility, endometriosis, heavy menstrual bleeding, menstrual cramping, premenstrual syndrome, low libido, depression, anxiety, insomnia, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue. Bio identical hormones are made using natural ingredients and available by prescription from local pharmacies. I have over ten years of experience using BHRT. Your first appointment with me will involve a comprehensive consultation, lab work and physical exam. I will present dietary, nutritional and lifestyle options that will help you achieve hormone balance in the long term and bio identical hormone replacement therapy options to provide more immediate results.

Some mayors in the Fraser Valley are hoping to pull more farmland out of the Agricultural Land Reserve to serve as industrial sites that can provide more local jobs. Abbotsford Mayor Henry Braun, speaking to a business forum hosted by the Urban Development Institute, said his city expects a decision soon on the removal from the ALR of about 300 acres in west Abbotsford for a new business park adjacent to Langley’s Gloucester Industrial Estates. “That will mean an addiHenry Braun tional 4,500 Abbotsford mayor e mpl oy m e nt jobs,” Braun told the audience of realtors and developers last week in Langley.

Incoming businesses tend to be in manufacturing or warehousing, Braun said, and are typically

Mission Mayor Randy Hawes told the forum his municipality also sees potential to remove land from the ALR for industrial use, including an 80-acre property Scott Paper used to grow cottonwood trees but no longer needs. “We believe that could come out of the ALR and we’re quite confident that it can. That would provide a considerable number of jobs.” Hawes said he also expects a buyer to emerge before long for the former Genstar lands in southwest Mission, which could house up to 10,000 homes. It’s considered the largest piece of developable urban-designated land in the Lower Mainland but has been in limbo since Genstar Development Co. abandoned
plans to develop in B.C. Maple Ridge Mayor Nicole Read said an application to pull land in Albion out of the ALR is also being reconsidered by the farmland commission. She said Maple Ridge strongly supports local agriculture and is committed to regional food security goals. “But we need to be realistic about what’s happening on our agricultural land and start a new conversation about some of the other potential things we could be doing with it,” Read said. Surrey is also a major destination for industrial developers that can no longer find suitable land in Burnaby and Vancouver, the forum heard.

In an interview after the meeting, Froese said he would also welcome some restructuring of the ALR to allow more logical development and make farming more feasible, with no net loss for agriculture. “In Langley, we’ve got some areas where it’s almost a patchwork quilt, we’ve got ALR intermingled with urban,” he said. “It would certainly be nice to do some tradeoffs – take some ALR land out and put some other land that’s not in the ALR back in.”
Transit upgrades urged Mayors from Maple Ridge to Chilliwack told the forum they want to see transit improved for their residents, and have service better integrated between the TransLink system in Metro Vancouver and cities further east in the Valley. Mission’s Randy Hawes said he expects TransLink to soon increase the $750,000 his municipality pays each year for West Coast Express commuter train service, adding he would like to see other Fraser Valley cities contribute. “West Coast Express is, in my belief, a regional transportation service, yet Mission pays 100 per cent of the cost outside the Trans-
Link area.” A provincial freeze on funding for B.C. Transit has also blocked any improvement in local bus service for Fraser Valley communities, Hawes said. “The growth is moving east at a pretty rapid rate,” he said. “We need to build a transportation system that works.” Langley Township’s Jack Froese said he was disappointed by the defeat of the Metro Vancouver referendum on a regional sales tax to expand transit. Nicole Read said it was a “difficult decision” when she opposed the referendum but continues to press for a rapid bus service connecting Maple Ridge to the Evergreen Line.

Q
uestion: My 86 year old bachelor uncle died childless and willed his estate to me. He was born into a large family and some of his eight siblings have died leaving many children, and even some of those have died leaving children. The lawyer helping me probate my uncle’s will has asked me to get the names and addresses of all my uncle’s brothers and sisters, if they are alive, and the names of the children of his pre-deceased brothers and sisters, and if any of these nieces and nephews have died, the names and addresses of their children. Why is this necessary? It seems like overkill to me.

nswer: Notice must be given to all next-of-kin who would receive part of his estate if his will was void. You may have very good reason to think that his will is valid, but an opposite opinion might be held by his brothers and sisters, children of predeceased brothers and sisters and even children of predeceased nieces and nephews or even more distant relatives. They must be given the opportunity to contest the will and notice is mandatory or probate will not be granted. NEW CLIENTS WELCOME

Directed by Simon Challenger, the SLT production stars a large ensemble cast, including Surrey’s Laurie Kortschak and Melanie Minty. The show is about much more than the calendar and the photographs, revealing how events can shape their lives in ways they never thought possible. “Calendar Girls is a wonderful

Surrey coaches recognized by BC Games Rick Kupchuk Black Press
Kyra Iannone coach
In recognition of the first-ever National Coaches Week Sept. 19-27, the BC Games Society included three Surrey residents in a list of outstanding coaches who have been members of Team BC at multisport events such as the Canada Games and BC Games. “An initiative of the Coaches Association of Canada and the provincial and territorial coaching organizations, (National Coaches
Week) celebrates the tremendous positive impact coaches have on athletes and communities across Canada,” said a Team BC press release. Q Kyra Iannone began coaching at the age of 13, and now has Level 3 certification. She has attended several multi-sport Games, including the 2006 and 2008 BC Summer Games, the 2011 and 2015 Western Canada Summer Games and the 2009 and 2013 Canada Summer Games. “It is more exciting because it is such a team event, you are part of
something bigger,” said Iannone of attending multi-sport events. “The other aspect of a multi-sport Games are the mission staff, they are amazing. You feel so very taken care of and part of a big amazing support system for the athletes.” Winning the gold medal in beach volleyball at the 2013 Canada Summer Games with Ben Chow of Surrey and Dan Caverly was a coaching highlight for Iannone. “It was something that was so very special. We took two defenders and
put them out of their comfort zone,” said said. “There was so much trust between the three of us. They trusted me to make all of these tactical, strategic and technical changes that they really weren’t comfortable with and I trusted them as committed athletes to achieve our goals.” Q Paul Tardi became a coach almost a decade ago when his two sons took up the sport at the Langley Curling Club, and Paul agreed to be an on-ice volunteer. › see page 35
Valley West sweeps two-game series in Kootneys
Hawks atop standings with near-perfect record Rick Kupchuk Black Press
After a sweep of a two-game series in Nelson, the Valley West Hawks have climbed atop the BC Hockey Major Midget League standings. The Hawks defeated the Kootenay Ice 8-0 Saturday evening and 5-4 Sunday morning, improving to a near-perfect 7-0-1 (win-losstie) on the season. They are two points up on the Vancouver Chiefs with two games in hand. “Our execution was pretty good in both games,” said Hawks head coach Jessie Leung. “I thought we did a good job of pushing the pace and playing to our standard.” The Hawks exploded for three goals in the last five minutes of the first period on their way to the win Saturday, a game that saw seven players score for the Valley West team. White Rock’s Ben Evanish led the way with two goals, with Carson Franklin, Luka Burzan, Josh Bruce, Justin De Vos, Ian Ross and Christian Bosa scoring once each. Burzan and Bradley Stonnell each had a pair of assists. Valley West led 3-0 and 5-0 at the period breaks. “We got into a little penalty trouble early, and had to kill a full two-minute five-onthree. Full credit to our penalty killers and (goalie Nic) Tallarico,” said Leung. “We really took the momentum from those kills
Affinity™ Series - YP9C Gas Furnace
and ran with it.” Sunday’s game saw the Hawks erase three deficits before earning their sixth consecutive win. Evanish opened the scoring, but the Ice tallied two quick goals in response for a 2-1 lead after 20 minutes. Burzan tied the game three minutes into the second period, the Ice went up 3-2 late in the period, then Bobby Russell knotted the score just before the second intermission. Kootenay took their third lead of the game 90 seconds into the third period, but Evanish tied the score just 34 seconds later. Bruce netted the winner with 13 minutes remaining. “We found a way to win when things weren’t going our way,” said Leung. “I’m happy with how our players responded each time we suffered a setback. It wasn’t pretty but as they say they don’t ask how, just how many.” The Hawks will play a home-and-home series with the Vancouver Giants next weekend. The Giants are 6-2-0, three points back of Valley West. The two rivals face-off Saturday at 1 p.m. in the Langley Events Centre, then have a rematch at 10:45 a.m. Sunday morning at the North Shore Winter Club. “This series will feature seven of the leagues 10 top scorers and the top two goalies,” said Leung. “We’re hoping for a big crowd Saturday.”

THE ROTARY CLUB OF SOUTH SURREY
Eagles rally for 3-1 victory
President Renee Nicholson & the Rotary Club of South Surrey,
Rick Kupchuk Black Press
A solid third period against their nearest rivals has moved the Surrey Eagles out of the basement in the BC Hockey League’s Mainland Division. The Eagles hung on for 40 minutes against the Langley Rivermen Tuesday evening in the South Surrey Arena, then dominated the final frame, scoring two unanswered goals to break a 1-1 tie and go on to a 3-1 victory. The win improved Surrey’s record to 4-9-0-0 (win-loss-tieovertime loss), one point better than the 3-10-0-1 Prince George Spruce Kings. Langley remains in second place in the Mainland Division at 8-5-0-0. It was the Rivermen who dominated play for the most part, outshooting the Eagles in each of the first two periods. Surrey was shorthanded nine times in the game, but with Daniel Davidson turning aside 39 of 40 shots in goal, the Eagles were able to kill off every penalty. Max Kaufman gave the Rivermen a 1-0 lead with a goal in the last minute of the first period. Matthew Hermary tied the score 1-1, scoring for the

Coach promotes fun over skill › from page 31 “As a former player I knew how to play the game, I just did not know how to coach,” he said. “I started taking coaching courses in 2008 and realized how much I did not know and I am still learning how to be a better coach every season.” Certified at Level 3 in the National Coaching Certification Program last year, Tardi has coached at the 2012 and 2014 BC Winter Games, as well as the 2015 Canada Winter Games. Each time, he guided his team to the medal podium, including the BC Games gold medal in 2012 in Vernon with sons Tyler and Jordan on the Fraser Valley team. But winning isn’t the only goal when coaching. Enjoying the game is just as important, Tardi insists. “I think one of the most important things about coaching kids in sport is that they have to enjoy the sport they are playing before you start trying to improve their skills,” he said. “Regardless of how talented your players are, if they don’t enjoy playing the sport, they will not stay in the sport for very long. “If you can build player skill while having fun then you really have something special.” Q Deborah Carter has been coaching in the Special Olympics program for almost 30

I was hooked and registered on the spot.” She coached several sports until 1994, when she made the decision to concentrate on athletics. “I knew athletics was my passion and to get the results I so wanted to achieve I would need to focus on one sport,” she said. “I wanted the technical knowledge to do the best job I could, took my certifications, attended various seminars and clinics, and attended games at the regional, provincial, national
and international level. “ Over her career in coaching, Carter has been to four BC Summer Games, two National Special Olympics Games, a Western Canada Summer Games, and the 1994 International Special Olympics Games. But being part of Team Canada at the Worlds LA2015 in Los Angeles is her personal favorite. “Team Canada LA2015 was simply magical and life changing. I saw athletes helping athletes. I saw the public realizing that first impressions aren’t always the final impression,” recalled Carter. “I saw the world change for a brief moment and see what a person can’t do must not interfere with what they can do. “It was a celebration of life, of unity and of inclusion.”

MORTGAGES “Mortgage rates are important, but so is flexibility. To find the right mortgage for you, you need to consider all of its features and benefits.”
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
Steps to purchasing a mortgage, simplified By Nicolle Hodges
Mortgages. The word alone can provoke uncertainty in the hearts of homeowners: Where do you begin? What are the necessary steps? What mortgage is the right fit for your lifestyle? With guidance, the process of purchasing a mortgage shouldn’t come with dread, but jubilation that you are taking the proper precautions when purchasing the home you love. People can find mortgages confusing because it’s a multi-step procedure, from figuring out a budget and down payments to understanding interest rates and mortgage terms. Senior Mortgage Development Manager at Vancity, Ryan McKinley, suggests speaking with a mortgage professional to help understand exactly how the process will work for your specific situation. A mortgage specialist can help navigate the tricky terminology and debunk some myths that might complicate the decision-making process. According to McKinley, some
common mortgage misconceptions include: 1. The lowest rate is always the best financial decision. While the rate is one aspect of the mortgage that you choose, it shouldn’t necessarily be the most important thing to consider. Prepayment options, how penalties are charged and the ability to move your mortgage are just some of the other factors to consider. Saving $15 a month sounds great at the beginning, but not if you end up paying a $15,000 penalty for breaking your term. 2. A rate guarantee is not the same as a pre-approval. Many financial institutions will give rate guarantees. These aren’t to be confused with a pre-approval. A pre-approval sets out a specific amount that you are pre-approved for after reviewing you financial situation. If you’re not sure, ask. 3. It’s difficult to get a mortgage. In this market it may seem that
it’s difficult to buy a property and get a mortgage. Many times there are options that people haven’t considered, like factoring in rental income or buying with friends or family. There are numerous types of mortgages, and while the vast majority of people end up deciding between the five-year fixed mortgage and five-year variable mortgage, it’s important to shop around to find what works best for you. When exploring the many options, be sure to ask what the pre-payment options are, what happens if you move, and how penalties are charged. When it comes to taking out a loan, McKinley says the standard rule is that your mortgage payment, strata fees, property tax and heating expense shouldn’t exceed 35 percent of your gross monthly income. Adding in any additional payments (credit cards, lines of credit, car lease, etc.) should not exceed 42 percent. “That being said, this is simply a guideline and not a good measure of what you can afford,” he says. “Two people with the same income and financial profile would qualify for the same amount, however, if one person eats out every day and likes going on vacation frequently, that mortgage may not be affordable to them.” The bottom line, it’s never too soon to talk to a mortgage professional; they can help you make a plan even if a purchase is years away.
Top 5 questions to ask: McKinley explains the typical steps a homebuyer would go through when purchasing a mortgage: B Figuring out how much you can afford. This is usually the first thing that people want to know, but it’s important to make the distinction between what you can afford and what you can be approved for. C Get pre-approved. This is the step when you’d connect with your branch or a mobile mortgage specialist. You would be asked to supply your personal financial details, information about your employment as well as some information about your down payment. D Go shopping! With your pre-approval in hand it’s now time to go shopping. Once you have an accepted offer, you’d get back in touch with your mortgage professional and supply the documents relating to the purchase. E Get an unconditional approval. You’ve already been pre-approved, but now we have to approve the property. This is where we would review the property by conducting an appraisal and reviewing the purchase documents. Once that review is complete you have an unconditional approval. F Sign your mortgage documents. This is where you’d sit down with us to go over all the details of your mortgage and review the terms, payment options as well as the different types of insurance available to you. After that you would sign the legal documents with your lawyer or notary. Once that is complete, all you have to do is wait until your possession date.

EMPLOYMENT/EDUCATION
Feb. 2, 1923 Oct. 12, 2015 Rod, (devoted husband and father, Avro Arrow engineer, businessman, life-long learner, adventurer, and witty pragmatist) passed away on Oct. 12, 2015, aged 92, at Vancouver General Hospital, with family present. He had faced recent medical challenges with courageous determination, and when told of medical risks, replied, “I survived the War; go for it!” He started life with the same determination, born in a sleigh midwinter at Davidson, Sask., as the 5th of 7 born to Henry and Kathleen (Morris) Drysdale. He grew up in St. Vital, Winnipeg in the Great Depression, resulting in appreciation of a good bargain and determination to succeed and excel in every way. He served in the Air Force in World War II, in aircraft electrical maintenance in England, and in the line of enemy fire, winning medals. He later completed his BSc. in Electrical Engineering from the U of Manitoba (1950); courses at the Royal Military College of Can. in Kingston, (to rank of Captain); and most courses towards a Masters in Business Administration. In 1949, he married Ruth Fryer, a nurse, and embarked on a 66-yr. partnership of adventure, humor, and personal growth. He worked as an engineer in Kingston, Thunder Bay, Hamilton, and Toronto, where he led a large engineering team in building the legendary aircraft the Avro Arrow. After winning a boat, he bought property at then undeveloped Go Home Lake near Georgian Bay, Ont., and hand-built a cottage accessible only by boat. After the Arrow, many colleagues left for NASA, but Rod chose to stay in Canada, working for the Dept. of Industry and Commerce in the Manitoba Govt. He was instrumental in bringing the potato industry to the ideal soil of Carberry, Man., and the potato plant later became a major supplier of French fries for McDonald’s. In 1966, the family moved to Calgary, where he worked as an engineer and created his own business management consulting firm. In 1976, Rod and Ruth moved to South Surrey, B.C., beginning a 39-yr era of rural contentment, great personal growth and helpfulness to all he encountered, with a zest for life. In his late 50’s, he undertook a 2-year Urban Devt. and Land Appraisal Diploma course at UBC, and worked in land development engineering, land appraisal, and in real estate sales. He was an active member of First United Church in White Rock for over 35 years, and became President of the local Probus group, where he used public-speaking skills developed in years of Toastmaster training. He loved travelling, locally, abroad, off-road, or by boat, exploring throughout North America, including Alaska. He enjoyed prospecting, camping, skiing, waterskiing, and golfing. He valued both exercise and learning throughout his life. He followed the news intently. He was an independent thinker, who took “the road less traveled” in every way, and who strove for excellence throughout his life. He was clever, practical, and pragmatic, but appreciated humor, wit, and fun. The annual Croquet Tournament at the house was a highlight with friends for 25 years. He became increasingly aware of the value of relationships, and became a model of devotion to his wife and family, supporting them in all of their interests, and providing practical solutions and advice. His handyman skills and laughter in family card games will be missed. He was pre-deceased by his father Henry, (age 101), his mother Kathleen (age 93), and by siblings Gordon, Kitty Parsons (age 90), and Gladys Crispin (age 95), and by many friends who likely have greeted him “on the other side” with joy and celebration. He is greatly missed by wife Ruth; daughter Elaine Drysdale (and her son Peter Hunt); son Stephen (Fern), and their children Steven, Stacey, Anji, and Micheal, and spouses; by 7 great-grand-children; by siblings Jim (Susan), Kathleen Rempel, and Doug (Dale); by many nieces and nephews; by special family friend Jean Robles, and many friends. The family wishes to express gratitude to the Leukemia/Bone Marrow Transplant Program of B.C., and to the caring clinical expertise of Dr. Stephen Nantel, Dr. Teresa Tsang, and Dr. Mark Hill, who all gave Rod many additional years of love and life.
