City of White Rock ceases funding in favour of a regional tourism strategy
End of the line for Tourism White Rock Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter
Tourism White Rock will close its doors at the end of the year, following a council decision Monday to adopt a new tourism strategy. The initiative is the result of several months of consultation with the city’s tourism task force, city staff and a marketing consultant, and will see the city take over the delivery of tourism services, focus on regional market-
ing approaches and halt funding to Tourism White Rock, effective Dec. 31. In attendance Monday evening was Tourism White Rock’s executive director Betina Albornoz – as well as some board members – who listened to a report and subsequent council discussion and vote, before leaving council chambers. Albornoz would not comment Monday evening, and calls were not returned by Peace Arch News press
deadline Tuesday, however a news release was issued that morning confirming that the Tourism White Rock Association will be dissolved effective Jan. 1, 2016. “This new model is a major shift towards placing greater levels of commitment, responsibility and accountability where it belongs: with key local stakeholders that directly, and greatly, benefit from a prosperous local White Rock tourism economy,”
Albornoz wrote in the release, calling her seven years working in the community an “amazing, inspiring journey.” The report recommends the city close the uptown visitor centre – the current headquarters of Tourism White Rock at 1459B Johnston Rd. – and pursue grants to maintain the operation of the visitor kiosk on West Beach. i see page 10
BNSF raises questions
Inspired by Surrey
‘Difficult’ to move rail route
Open for business
Alex Browne Staff Reporter
While moving BNSF’s tracks from the White Rock and South Surrey waterfront to an inland route was a frequently raised local issue during the recent federal election – and remains the subject of ongoing discussion between White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin and Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner – the jury is still out on whether it is a practical option, according to BNSF spokesperson Gus Melonas. He reiterated the long-time official position of the U.S.-based railway to Peace Arch News on Friday. “BNSF is willing to review any officially sanctioned plan to move the line,” he said. But, he warned, Semiahmoo Peninsula residents should not expect any steps to be taken soon. “Realistically, it would be a very difficult undertaking,” he said. “We’re talking about moving an active rail line that is essential, that plays a critical role in the Canadian economy in moving goods as well as providing passenger service.” And Melonas noted the company has made significant recent investment in upgrading infrastructure in the existing corridor. i see page 10

The City of White Rock is hosting an invitation-only networking event tonight (Wednesday) in an effort to bring more business to the city. The event was conceived by the economic investment committee, according to Mayor Wayne Baldwin, who told Peace Arch News Monday the reception was the first of its kind since he has been mayor. “(The committee) thought it would be a good idea to invite people who are either property owners or who have businesses who might wish to relocate to White Rock and have them come in and have a reception and do some networking with existing businesses and the mayor and council and staff,” Baldwin said. He said the event was “a bit of a takeoff ” on the City of Surrey’s annual economic summit, which has seen such high-profile keynote speakers as U.S. presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush and Sir Richard Branson in past years. “We couldn’t afford (former U.K.) prime minister Blair, though,” Baldwin joked. “So they’ll have to settle for the mayor and council.” The city extended the invitation to about 70 people for the Wednesday evening function, to take place at Blue Frog Studios on Johnston Road. As of Monday afternoon, approximately 25 people had confirmed attendance, according to city staff. – Melissa Smalley

While sharing such services can benefit smaller school districts that have limited resources, Allen says there’s no advantage for Surrey. “We’ve worked hard to become an efficient labour-relations department and we’ve saved millions.” The province has indicated the first year of sharing labour-relations services will likely be free for districts, but it’s unclear how much each will have to pay after that. Allen fears it’ll be based on enrolment and, as the largest school district in B.C., Surrey’s tab would be highest. When Bill 11 was introduced, many boards voiced concerns about the legislation, saying it eroded their rights as elected officials. “We have no problem with shared services, but boards should have a choice,” Allen said. “I’m elected to decide what we will and will not spend money on. Basically, we’re being pushed into something.” Last spring, then-education minister Peter Fassbender assured that boards would maintain “considerable autonomy” but made it clear all districts needed to participate in “finding efficiencies.” Surrey has requested to meet with the CEO of BCPSEA, as well as the executive director of the Service Delivery Branch.

Surrey school trustees say the provincial government is forcing the district to participate in a moneysaving measure that not only won’t save Surrey dollars, but may add costs in the long run. The issue lies with the sharing of services between B.C. districts – an initiative of Bill 11, the Education Statutes Amendment Act passed earlier this year. The idea is to reduce overhead in individual districts by sharing costs for services such as technology, transportation and legal services. Trustee Terry Allen said Surrey recently learned it will be mandatory for the district to share labour relations and employee liability services. “We have a huge labour-relations department that deals with all our grievances and staff concerns,” Allen said last week. “At the end of the day, the Surrey School District will continue to do business as usual. But now we’re going to have to pay to be in the shared services.” Allen, the district representative on B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, said the government has indicated sharing labour-relations services will save about $1-2 million annually for the province.

Pension rules change
‘Soft landing’ for ex-MPs Conservative MP Russ Hiebert’s career in federal politics may be at an end, but he’s looking at a comfortable retirement, thanks to his severance package. The four-time South SurreyWhite Rock-Cloverdale MP – who announced last year he wasn’t running – represented the nowredrawn riding starting in 2004. Conservative Dianne Watts won the South Surrey-White Rock riding in last week’s federal election. Hiebert, 46, served more than the minimum six years to qualify for what the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation (CTF) calls a lucrative “fat-cat” MP pension. According to the CTF, he’ll receive $83,700 in immediate severance. His annual pension – which starts in 2024 – will be $55,643. That works out to a lifetime pension (to age 90) of $2,791,083. The day after the Oct. 19 election, the CTF released its severance and pension figures for the 2015 federal election. Out of the 75 MPs who retired or chose to not run again since 2011, 13 didn’t serve long enough to earn a pension, and Hiebert has the 22nd highest lifetime pension total. Defeated Surrey NDP MPs, Jinny Sims (Newton-North Delta) and Jasbir Sandhu (Surrey-North), only served one term each, not long enough to qualify for MP pension. Sims will receive $86,650 in severance; Sandhu will get $83,700. Conservative MP Nina Grewal, who went down to defeat in Fleetwood-Port Kells, has a lifetime payout of $2.52 million for 11 years of service. “Losing an election can be tough, but most MPs will have a soft financial landing,” said CTF federal director Aaron Wudrick. “The good news is that thanks to the hardfought pension reforms that take effect on Jan. 1, 2016, taxpayers will not have to shoulder as much of the burden in the future.” For MPs who retired or were defeated on Oct. 19, taxpayers contributed $17 for every $1 put into the plan by an MP towards their pension. After Jan. 1, 2016, the ratio will gradually shift to $1.60 in taxpayer contributions for every $1 put in by an MP or senator. The CTF favours a dollar-fordollar matching formula now used in Saskatchewan and Ontario.

Ocean Park neighbours look for ways to prevent ‘monster homes’
Downzoning idea spreads out Tracy Holmes & Alex Browne Staff Reporters
The recent success of Ocean Park residents in securing “downzoning” that limits the height and size of new housing in their neighbourhood has others who live nearby hopeful they can achieve similar changes in their own micro-communities – and that the trend will catch on in other areas. Nicole Nelson said a petition calling for a switch to comprehensive-development zoning for 10 blocks near Kwomais Point Park – approximately 200 lots between 128 and 130 streets, from 14 Avenue south to the water – received the support of 75 per cent of residents, and she expects the matter will go to public hearing sometime next spring. The effort has been underway for about four months, Nelson said, but the latest push forward was inspired in part by last month’s adoption by Surrey council of similar zoning for the area between 128 and 126A streets, south from 16 Avenue to the park. That bylaw, adopted Sept. 28, was drafted by the city in response to a petition from area residents. It switches 148 lots in the neighbourhood from single-family residential (RF) zoning to a comprehensive-development (CD) zone, which
reduces the maximum size and height of houses permitted on the 5,000-square-foot lots to 2,600 square feet. Maximum height is now limited to 26.5 feet for a house with a steeply-sloping roof, while accessory buildings on each property can be no more than 16.5 feet high. Longtime area resident Nadine Smith said the bylaw will help preserve the character of

the neighbourhood. And the process that led to it “really brought the community together.” “We’ve actually had a really good thing going on in our community,” Smith told Peace Arch News. Nelson said that as with the Kwomais group, residents in her neighborhood want to prevent more “monster houses” from being built. The move, she noted, will also reduce builders’ arguments around a need to remove more trees. The need for change on the latter front was further driven home last week by clearcutting that got underway of about 75 trees on three lots that weren’t grandfathered into the latest bylaw, Nelson said. Chainsaws roared to action on the morning of Oct. 19 on the 15 Avenue lots. “It was so sad,” Nelson said. “People were commenting like crazy on our (Ocean Park Neighbours Facebook) page… how they could hear the eagles chirping away.” Describing city staff as “so great” in responding to previous resident initiatives, Nelson said she is hopeful the current downzoning effort will also find success.

it cost a little more than an ordinary general election,” Hepner said. “This last election was an expensive go-round.” Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, Peter Fassbender said in a news release Thursday that the spending cap would increase with the cost of inflation. “I think they’ve got this right,” said Dermod Travis, executive director for Integrity BC, adding the sliding scale of the formula reflects the different needs of small and large communities. “It’s unfortunate the other half of the equation is not being tackled at the same time, which would be donations. But I think they’ve found a good middle for where those caps should be on expenses.” If the cap had been in place for last year’s election, Surrey mayoral candidate Barinder Rasode would have overspent by $123,917. She said in an interview that due to sign damage and other incidentals, her group, One Surrey, spent more than it intended. Nonetheless, Rasode said she welcomes the provincial move to cap election expenses. “I think it’s really important to have election-spending limits,” Rasode said. She said the proposed legislation is a great start, but there needs to be further reforms to election conduct. She also wants to see a ban on election signs “for sustainability reasons, but also cost reasons.” Rasode said the spending limits being introduced create a “level playing field” for independents and others who might not have the same access to capital. “I’m actually really proud of the campaign we ran,” Rasode said. Asked if she would run again in 2018, Rasode wouldn’t rule it out. “In three years, we will be looking at a very different Surrey,” Rasode said. “That decision is not one that I have to make right now.” Fassbender noted limits were brought about by wishes of both voters and candidates. The recommendations were developed by a special legislative committee and have support of both the BC Liberals and NDP, as well as the Union of B.C. Municipalities. The expense limits would apply from Jan. 1 of the election year until voting day. The government is expected to table the bill on local election spending in the fall sitting of the B.C. legislature.

Surrey, Vancouver leaders aim to keep TransLink seats
Vote coming on mayors’ council leadership Jeff Nagel & Kevin Diakiw Black Press
The mayors of Metro Vancouver’s two biggest cities may not hang on to their influential posts overseeing TransLink in 2016 after leading this year’s transit funding plebiscite to a disastrous defeat. Vancouver’s Gregor Robertson and Surrey’s Linda Hepner are the respective chair and vice-chair of the Mayors’ Council on Regional Transportation, and as a result they also sit as directors on the TransLink board. Metro mayors will vote by early January on who should hold those seats next year.

time than the newly elected Surrey mayor. Jackson doesn’t rule out letting her name stand again. “I’m sure there will be people wanting to vie for those positions,” she said. “I’ll have to think about it. It’s a big job.” Jackson said she continues to believe it’s important to have strong representation from South of the Fraser on the mayors’ council. Metro mayors warned the province after the referendum defeat that they might disband the mayors’ council and abdicate their responsibility for TransLink unless more governance reforms are soon made
to the transportation authority. A new CEO is still being recruited. Despite that, Jackson said she believes the mayors must carry on and do what they can to improve TransLink and defend the interests of local residents. Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore, who chairs the Metro Vancouver board, said he doesn’t intend to seek either of the two seats. Hepner noted the Mayors’ Council of TransLink is “critically important” to her, but “there are other things pulling at my coat tails. “I am assessing my time,” she said. “I have made no firm commitment one way or another.”

Get back on the right track
E
lected officials usually have no difficulty finding a political issue and staying on track. But when it comes to their various proposals to relocate the rail line that’s bordered the Semiahmoo Peninsula waterfront this past century, they’re getting way off course. Proponents of BNSF relocation – who’ve been raising the spectre of impending disaster increasingly since the 2013 Lac-Mégantic train tragedy in Quebec – say it’s well worth the hundreds of millions of dollars estimated to realign the route inland. However, the politicians who have backed their plan – at least at various levels in the past – might be causing more harm than good for the communities they serve. Take Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner, who launched her successful run for the city’s highest office last year by telling Crescent Beach residents that if elected she would immediately engage in discussions with BNSF to have the tracks moved to a more direct, faster, safer route. Now, as of last week, she says realignment is worthy of consideration, but only if the tracks move underground. Take White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin, who has made train issues a priority through both of his terms. While he’s been more steadfast on the issue than Hepner, he hasn’t done his proponents any favours by repeatedly provoking railway partners: last year, in open council, he famously referred to a safety inspector as a “petty little bureaucrat”; he oversaw a “permanently closed” gate at the boat launch that was unlocked and abandoned a few days later; and, just last month, he told council that Transport Canada “laid down the law” to BNSF with regards to train-horn blasts in the middle of the night. None of these apparent ‘miscommunications’ have helped. Lastly, incoming-MP Dianne Watts launched her federal campaign in South Surrey-White Rock by making rail safety a priority; this after, as Surrey mayor, she long studied the issue and presented to residents four alternate track routes elsewhere in her city. Now, she says only that rail relocation may be a part of her safety initiative. While it’s clear all three leaders have their communities’ best interests at heart, we suggest they meet publicly to discuss any realistic options. Anything less looks rather misdirected.

Madison Scott. She was last seen in the early hours of May 28, 2011, after a grad party in the woods outside Vanderhoof. Her truck and tent were still there. Again, nothing to do with hitch-hiking, but at least it was near Highway 16. Here’s something else you won’t often hear in the Highway of Tears melodrama. There is commercial bus service on Highway 16, although Greyhound reduced frequency in 2013 as it struggles with low ridership and high costs. BC Transit also operates bus service to some remote communities like Kispiox and Gitsegukla, connecting them south to Smithers. But BC Transit requires local governments and riders to cover about half the cost. Indian Act reserves don’t pay. North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice has noted that what people in remote communities ask for is a way to get back and forth for shopping and medical appointments. Yes, shopping is an important need, as those who live in remote areas can tell you. And Northern Health already runs a bus service for remote residents who need medical care. Rice’s observations at least move us toward practical solutions, although most of her effort seems directed towards political blame. I hope the infamous 36 pages of emails are eventually released, since they were not deleted but rather excluded from release. They may bring the discussion back to the actual public service issue, which is what realistic transportation options exist for these communities.

Election post-mortem Editor: An open letter to the 25.56 per cent who did not vote Oct. 19. 74.44 per cent of us made it out to vote; where were you? Did you not have time? Or were you disillusioned by the candidates? What if we no longer called it politics? What if we called it ‘your life’? Then would you be interested? Voting is the least any person living in a democratic nation can
do. Not voting is not an answer. Fatalism by thinking your vote does not matter is not an answer. You are a citizen of this country, and your voice does matter. Problem is, if you don’t exercise your democratic right, your voice is silenced. Steven Hughes, White Rock Q Well, we did it again and have successfully transitioned to our new government in a peaceful and positive way. Yay, Canada. Now we can get back to promoting the kind of entertainment that my organization, Peninsula Productions, offers – fine music and theatre – in
lieu of political farce. But I’m left with a serious question: the signs. For weeks our neighbourhoods were defaced with signs, which were then themselves defaced. By what right do politicians get to do this? If my organization were to plaster the highways and byways with our posters – which are much more artistically pleasing than any politician’s sign – would the community find that acceptable? Would it be OK for us to get upset when other arts organizations defaced our signs? I doubt it, and we don’t plan to explore this possibility. What a funny world politicians live in, eh.
So we won’t be cluttering up the neighbourhoods and you’ll just have to look for our posters in places where we are given explicit permission to post them, or follow us online to hear about the wonderful events that we have coming up as we do our small part to make sure that democracy and good government continue to flourish in this wonderful country. Geoff Giffin, White Rock Q Too bad Dianne Watts didn’t run under the Liberal ticket. She would have received 40,000 votes plus a cabinet post to boot! Tony Young, Surrey
Rail route Editor: Re: Moving tracks ‘does little for Surrey’, Oct. 23. Way before any houses were built along the waterfront of White Rock, the railway company established a track running from Vancouver down along the southern coast of B.C. and into the U.S. A station was erected and White Rock became an established stop along the route. People built houses along the hillside, knowing the train – whistle and all – would run by. When you look at old pictures, you see that there are no houses on the hillside above the train tracks. Now, it is chock-a-block full of houses, townhouses, condos and cabins all vying for the best view of the ocean. So why are we crying about a concrete fact like a railway track that was laid down before we came into the picture? We are like the folks who raced to build houses near the airport and then screamed foul about the noise of the aircraft overhead. Now we are demanding that billions of dollars, taxpayers’ dollars, be spent so we don’t have to listen to a train whistle. Hello! If the track is moved, where should it be relaid? In your backyard? Down the middle of the freeway? In your neighbour’s backyard? Underground? The populace of this area long decries the lack of suitable venues for a railroad track to be laid that does not interfere with anyone’s life. Maybe it’s time for this ‘selfie’ world to realize that there are more important issues in life than catering to our latest whims. James Milne, White Rock Q Rail relocation is not just about Crescent Beach and White Rock. If the most obvious option for the new route is chosen – along the Highway 99 right-of-way – the realigned track will be five kilometres shorter and train travel time will be 30 minutes quicker. Less fuel, less time, less waste. The economic benefits of this shorter, faster rail route with its additional capacity are overwhelming. There is no doubt that BNSF will be a willing partner. This is a ‘win’ for Port Metro

Efforts by elected officials to examine relocating the Peninsula’s train tracks from the waterfront get mixed reviews. Vancouver, as well. Containers are going to move between China and U.S./Canada. The question is whether these transfers occur at a U.S. port or at Deltaport. A northsouth rail superhighway improves access to the U.S. market, allowing PMV to secure its future as the key handler of lucrative container traffic. A shorter, faster, twin-tracked route will not only be safer for BNSF and the surrounding communities, it will give a return on investment. It will support expansion of Canada-U.S. trade. It will complement PMV’s investment in Roberts Bank and secure Canada’s economic relevance for the next 100 years. This is a ‘win’ for all Canadians. At a time when the newly elected Liberal government is looking at improving infrastructure, relocating the BNSF line is a clever strategic initiative. In fact, it’s integral to securing the future relevance of our ports which benefits all of us in the Lower Mainland, the whole province and the rest of Canada. H. Newman, White Rock Q Your news item brings to the forefront the obvious lack of railway transportation knowledge the mayors of Surrey, White Rock and the MP-designate, Dianne Watts, have on this important subject. The rail line in question is the railway’s main link between Canada and the U.S. and serves as both a major import and export route. Burlington Northern recently spent several millions of dollars for major safety upgrading the rail line on both sides of the border and would not have done this with any expectation of moving it in the near future.
Of note is that the Canadian Transportation Authority cited in the article has no legal authority to order a railway to move its operations. Any railway line relocation has to be a joint agreement between the outside parties and the railway involved. While everyone points at the LacMégantic incident as a cause for fearmongering and the basis for relocation, it should be noted that until that incident, there had not been a major derailment involving regulated commodities that involved a civilian death in Canada. Lac-Mégantic was not a result of a train in operation derailing but a series of human-related activities that culminated in a parked train rolling away. That scenario could never happen in the White Rock area. White Rock and Surrey are not unique. Trains operate safely through thousands of major cities and rural towns every day. Vancouver itself has four major railways crisscrossing every part of the Lower Mainland with the same commodities. The facts are clear that moving any product by rail is not only more environmentally efficient but also the safest mode. The movement by rail of these regulated commodities, which are essential to our daily lives, far surpasses having them on our highways and city streets. Then comes the fact that both municipalities are proposing spending $700,000 taxpayer dollars on a study that will bear no fruit. BNSF has been gracious enough to allow the City of White Rock to use its land and have walking paths and beach access. It might be legally wiser for them to cancel those leases and allow no public access, thereby
increasing safety and reducing the risk of public/railway incidents. In addition, simply relocating a line into someone else’s neighbourhood is an insult to each and every taxpayer in these respective communities. Both communities should question the true underlying motive for this push to relocate the rail line. Stephen Morris, Surrey Q The best 15 kilometres of land in Canada lies along Surrey’s untouched foreshore between White Rock and Crescent Beach. It has the best weather, south exposure and views of the Gulf Islands and Mount Baker. Few people have seen it because the railway prevents them access. The Boundary Bay foreshore is the backyard to everyone living south of the Fraser River. Unlocking this national treasure is a benefit to us all, including those who should not have to drive to Stanley Park or the islands to have a world-class seaside escape. Moving the track will connect the bay beaches to the Delta dyke, allowing a currently isolated ocean playground to be easily accessed. After completion of the new Massey bridge, Richmond, New Westminster, and Vancouver will also be part of this enhanced recreational system. Working together, B.C. will then have created an iconic green corridor from downtown Vancouver to the border, which will have a lasting positive lifestyle and economic benefit for the whole province. Relocating the track will make life better for everyone. If better is possible, why would we not try exploring that option? Erik Seiz, Surrey

BC Liberal staffer resigns following testimony of email deletion
RCMP to probe official Tom Fletcher Black Press
A BC Liberal political staffer has resigned and his conduct has been referred to the RCMP by the Information and Privacy Commissioner after an investigation of his deletion of government emails that were being requested under freedom-of-information laws. Commissioner Elizabeth Denham said three investigations showed records were intentionally destroyed to avoid public release. One of those requests was for records related to public hearings on risks of travelling along Highway 16 in northern B.C. Citizens’ Services Minister
Amrik Virk told reporters the reference to the RCMP is related to transportation ministry staffer George Gretes testifying under oath to the commissioner. Denham said Gretes lied about his actions while under oath. Virk said the government has accepted Gretes’ resignation and has called on former information and privacy commissioner David Loukidelis to respond to Denham’s finding that records were routinely deleted in violation of freedom-of-information legislation. Denham started investigating the Highway 16 information request after a complaint from
Tim Duncan after Duncan left his job as executive assistant to Transportation Minister Todd Stone. Duncan told the commissioner that Gretes deleted a series of emails from Duncan’s office computer in December 2014 after they were requested under freedom-of-information law. Stone told reporters Thursday he has also “triple-deleted” his own emails and that he disagrees with Denham’s interpretation of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. “I adhere to the act,” Stone said. “I expect all of my staff to adhere to the act.”

Premier Christy Clark has ordered all cabinet ministers and political staff to keep every email they send until new procedures are in place to decide what is necessary for the public record and freedom-of-information requests. Clark issued the instruction Friday after B.C.’s Information and Privacy Commissioner condemned the widespread practice of “triple-deleting” emails so they can’t be stored in daily backups. Commissioner Elizabeth Denham said her investigation showed records were intentionally destroyed to avoid public release. Clark said she accepts Denham’s recommendations, but there are different legal opinions on what is a “transitory document” that is required to be destroyed and a record that is required to be kept. “We thought – I thought – that everything was being done properly, and that’s because there has been really almost no change in the way things have been done

Premier Christy Clark says she rarely uses email for official business. for a decade,” Clark said. NDP Leader John Horgan said the investigation shows the conduct of BC Liberal government staffers, including the premier’s deputy chief of staff Michele Cadario, reveals “a culture of deception, a culture of deceit, a culture of delete, delete, delete.” Clark said she is taking no action against Cadario, who told Denham she deletes almost all of
her sent emails every day. Clark now wants everything kept until former privacy commissioner and deputy attorney general David Loukidelis reviews the situation and decides what must stay and what must go. Clark said she seldom uses email for official business, preferring face-to-face meetings, phone calls and official records kept for cabinet and committees.

Old bridge now gone Jeff Nagel Black Press
The old Port Mann Bridge has now been completely dismantled, although two of its concrete footings have been left in place. It’s been nearly three years of complex, technical work by engineers and crews to carefully take apart the span since the new 10-lane Port Mann Bridge opened to traffic in December 2012. Sections of the bridge were removed piece by piece, in reverse order to how it was first built in 1964. Material was lowered to barges or trucks and removed for recycling, including 18,000 tonnes of structural steel. Crews first removed the deck, then the girders on the bridge’s approach and the iconic steel arch gradually came down between spring of 2014 and this summer. Most of the concrete pedestals that

Realigning ‘easier said than done’ i from page 1 That includes $5-10 million spent in the last three years alone, among it a $1.5-million upgrade of the Little Campbell River bridge. Ongoing improvements to trestles in the Mud Bay area will amount to $15 million, he added. “And we’re beginning construction plans to replace another trestle which will be completed next year, for another $5 million.� Moving the tracks from the current alignment, he said, is “easier said than done.�
“It would be extremely expensive and the big question is where you’d be moving it to.� A staff report to Surrey council estimates that a technical study of moving the tracks would cost at least $700,000. The same report, supported by council – which has asked staff to investigate cost sharing for a feasibility study with the province and White Rock – estimates that actually moving the tracks could cost $350-450 million, and much more if the new route involved underground construction.
South Surrey-White Rock MPelect Dianne Watts – an advocate, as Surrey mayor, for moving the route – has suggested plans for anticipated high-speed service between Seattle and Vancouver may force the issue of realigning the route. Melonas declined to discuss that possibility, however, deferring to Amtrak to comment on the status of high-speed service between the two cities. Official comment from Amtrak was not forthcoming at press time.

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!

Vancouver resident to ‘engage and connect with community’
Surrey names Poet Laureate The City of Surrey has a Poet Laureate. The inaugural appointee – Vancouver resident RenĂŠe Sarojini Saklikar – was announced last Thursday. Saklikar is the author of children of air india, un/authorized exhibits and interjections – a book-length poem about the bombing of Air India flight 182 – which won the Canadian Authors Award for best book of Canadian poetry to be published in English and was a finalist for the B.C. Book prize Dorothy Livesay award. “A strong foundation of arts and culture is the hallmark of a thriving City,â€? Mayor Linda Hepner said in a statement. “As Surrey’s first Poet Laureate, RenĂŠe Sarojini Saklikar will creatively engage and connect with our community and will be a strong advocate for literacy and the literary arts.â€? The two-year position comes with an annual honorarium of $5,000, plus $1,000 for travel costs. Ten people applied for the job, according to Meghan Savage, a Surrey librarian and co-ordinator of the Surrey Poet Laureate project. The lawyer-turned-writer found poetry through trauma. Her aunt and uncle, both doctors

Saklikar told Black Press, “but I’ve also been very privileged in my life, too. I’ve had the luck and grace to have connections with many people, and those supports are certainly in Surrey. I can tell you that I wrote my first book on the kitchen table of a dear, dear friend of mine in South Surrey.â€? Saklikar is one of three National Advocates for The Writer’s Union of Canada and a member of the League of Canadian Poets. Her
poetry investigates, celebrates and memorializes the poetry of place, in particular, stories integral to arrival, departure, settlement and diaspora. Savage said Saklilar “demonstrates a strong passion and enthusiasm for connecting the people of Surrey through poetry.� Sakilar is to host writing consultations on the second Friday of the month, with dates set for City Centre Library (Nov. 13 and Dec. 11), followed by a South Surrey location in 2016.

over the two days next month are “fantastic.” Donations are still being accepted, Perrie added. For more information, call 604-535-3090 or 604-531-1850.

No it’s not Natalie & Brian when you consider the big picture. You can spend a little in group classes and learn at the slower speed of the class or you can cut to the chase and learn exactly what you want. How is it that I can turn out a wedding couple in 5 private lessons to do their First Dance Song? It’s easy when you have a goal and you don’t waste any time, by doing it right the first time. Everything I ever did well in life I took private lessons in whether it be drumming, martial arts or dancing. Consider that after you learn how to dance you will know 100 times more than those people standing by wondering how you do it. Now YOU are the expert for only $290 for 5 lessons.

A new trial has been ordered for a man who was convicted of dangerous driving after the appeal court found the trial judge had erred in finding he was actually the driver. The B.C. Court of Appeal found the judge’s reasoning was flawed in finding Gregory Joseph Scuby was behind the wheel at the time the vehicle was being driven dangerously. “The trial judge drew a number of inferences from the evidence and, relying on those inferences, concluded that the only rational conclusion to be drawn from the evidence as a whole was that the appellant was the driver of the vehicle when it was being operated in a manner dangerous to the public,” Justice Gregory Fitch noted.

Target Team in Surrey spotted a pickup truck with stolen plates parked on 59 Avenue, on March 27, 2012. Police described the man in the car as white, in his late 20s or early 30s, clean-shaven with short dark hair, wearing a black leather jacket, handling a cellphone and “acting sleepy.” The surveillance officers say the driver moved the 1990s red GMC Sonoma twice. At one point it was parked under an overpass. Police decided to do a “roadside stop” and the Sonoma sped off, its driver performing dangerous manoeuvres that imperiled other motorists. Police then spotted what they believed to be the same vehicle in Coquitlam, and again lost sight of it. Seven hours later, they found Scuby asleep in the driver’s seat of an illegally parked vehicle in Port Moody and arrested him. Despite the behaviour of the driver in Surrey and Scuby in Port Moody being “both peculiar and similar,” Fitch noted, the trial judge erred in finding they were one and the same based on the circumstantial evidence before the court. “I would allow the appeal and order a new trial,” Fitch decided. Justices Elizabeth Bennett and John Savage concurred.

Making arrangements as you age can help prevent future difficulties
Ease family’s burden by planning ahead T
he Seniors Health Network each month poses a question to health-care professionals. This month, the following hypothetical question was posed to Cari Hoffmann, Fraser Health’s co-ordinator of advance care planning: My husband and I are both aging although we are still healthy and well. We should be making arrangements for the time when we are not well or when one of us is approaching death. But we don’t know quite where to start? The process of reflection and communication – thinking about what you enjoy in life and what activities give your life meaning, and sharing these thoughts with those people you are close with – is the beginning of the process called ‘advance care planning.’ Many people think this kind of planning is solely about medical procedures – whether you would want to be resuscitated if your
heart stopped, or ventilated if you were unable to breathe on your own, or fed by tube if you were unable to swallow. Yes, researching treatment options that you may face in the future because of particular illnesses you have could be part of the advance care planning process. But for most of us, deciding this ahead of time is difficult. That is why I suggest you start the process of establishing your future care wishes by asking yourself these fundamental questions: What matters most to me? What does living well mean? Identify your current values and beliefs, now, while you are healthy. If you focus on your values, questions like ‘Do I want to be hooked up to a machine, or be tube fed?’ become less relevant. The focus shifts to, ‘What gives my life meaning and how will an intervention support it?’ What if you needed a machine to help you live a meaningful life? What if a machine or a treatment

in the short term would mean you could continue to participate in the activities that are meaningful to you such as travel or walking your dog or going to the movies? Would you still say no? On the other hand, what if an intervention would prolong your life but not ensure you remained able to participate in life as you know it? Would you still say yes? Thinking about this can be difficult. Having these conversations can be tough; adult children often shy away from considering their parents’ deaths, and other emotional issues between family members may surface. But why leave them to guess? It will give them peace of mind knowing the decisions they may be called upon to make will be the right ones, the ones you would make for yourself if you were able. Follow up the conversations by documenting your values, beliefs and wishes (see resources below). Talk with your doctor about what interventions you may need to consider down the road. Think

Discussing your wishes with family as you get older can help make things easier if you fall ill. about whom you trust who would honour your wishes if you were unable to make your own health care decisions. Consider naming a substitute decision-maker through a representation agreement.

Hope For Chronic Knee Pain
Chronic knee pain can be debilitating, di cult to diagnose and even more di cult to solve. Chronic knee pain can occur for a variety of reasons for individuals of any age, but it becomes more common as we get older. Some chronic knee pain can be traced back to a speci c injury or to surgery. Other knee pain can be associated with ongoing wear and tear over years of living. Some of the underlying conditions can be diagnosed relatively quickly by a doctor or other medical practitioner with the appropriate credentials and experience. Other conditions can be con rmed with the help of noninvasive procedures like X-rays, MRI or CT scans. And some conditions can only be diagnosed via some form of surgery.
When knee pain becomes chronic, it typically means that the body hasn't been able to naturally heal the condition. Some of the common conditions for such chronic knee pain include osteoarthritis, internal scar tissue caused by surgery, major knee injury or an accumulation of micro injuries (“wear & tear”), meniscus irritations or tears, and/or in ammation of various soft tissues (ie. tendons and muscles) around the knee. Osteoarthritis and internal scar tissue, while two di erent conditions, also frequently occur simultaneously, which can make the symptoms extra confusing, more dif cult to diagnose and can end up causing double the pain and in ammation.
As a result, many su erers of knee pain nd themselves limited in the activities they can pursue and end up using pain killing medication to just get through the day. Most such medications can result in having undesirable side e ects of one kind or another, especially when taken long term. Not surprisingly many people su ering from chronic knee pain are looking for alternative treatments.

While this form of light therapy has been around for quite a few years, it’s still not as widely known as it should be. Scienti c research conducted over the last few decades has shown that human cells heal better and faster when the right wavelengths of light energy get delivered to them. Cold Laser erapy is a breakthrough solution for musculoskeletal pain because it shines a concentrated amount of only helpful wavelengths of light vital for healing (in the red and infrared parts of the spectrum) directly on targeted areas. is allows the bones, ligaments, and tissues even well below the surface of the skin to be exposed to the healthy light that otherwise cannot reach these areas.

Funding boost Seven local social service providers received a $130,000 boost in grants thanks to the Surrey Homelessness and Housing Society. On Oct. 15, the funds were presented to the
groups at the seventh annual awards and grants presentation ceremony. “This is a gratifying evening where we celebrate the community for its collective contributions to helping our most vulnerable citizens,” said Coun. Judy Villeneuve, chair of the Surrey Homelessness and Housing Society. Organizations benefiting are: Elizabeth Fry Society of Greater Vancouver; Options Community Services; Pacific Community Resources Society; Realistic Success Recovery Society; Social Planning Research Council of B.C.; and the Surrey Homelessness and Housing Task Force. The crowd also celebrated the 2015 Heroes of the Homeless Awards. They were: Carolyn Colwell of Your City Sport, Bruce Kehler of Canex Building Supplies and B&B Contracting. Colwell was inspired to launch her buy-onegive-one sock company after volunteering at a homeless-serving event where socks were in short supply. For every pair of socks ordered, Your City Sports donates a second pair to the homeless. Kehler has a long history of philanthropy and has donated more than $200,000 into community services since June 2015.

Holy Cross defeats Lord Tweedsmuir in all-Surrey final
Crusaders capture PAN Classic Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
Before hitting the court for the championship final of the Peace Arch News Classic last weekend, Holy Cross Crusaders senior girls volleyball coach Meghan Guze asked her team a simple question: “Do you want to win?” The other option, Guze said, was simply to go out there against one of the province’s top ranked 4A teams, Cloverdale’s Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers, and without pressure, have fun. “I could see it in their eyes that they were ready. They said they wanted to win, so we went out and did it,” Guze said. The underdog Crusaders upset the highly

ranked Panthers 2-0 (25-19, 25-20) Saturday afternoon at Semiahmoo Secondary, to capture their first-ever PAN Classic title. Guze said “from beginning to end” the final game couldn’t have went any better for her team, and heaped praise on a handful of players, including power Elizabeth Mallari, who Guze said “was able to dig every hard-hit ball that was hit at her.” Holy Cross setter Clarissa Madaisky led the team with the most blocks, Guze added. “It was awesome to see the hard work they’ve put in (pay off),” Guze said. The win also provided a measure of revenge for Holy Cross, who lost to Tweedsmuir in round-robin play, and earlier in the week, had
lost to them in a regular-season tilt. In semifinals, Holy Cross defeated Elgin Park – another highly ranked 4A team – in two sets, led by libero Emma Courneya. “It seemed she was everywhere,” Guze said. After the loss to Holy Cross, Elgin Park rebounded to edge Langley’s Walnut Grove Gators 2-1 in the bronze-medal game. The Winston Churchill Bulldogs won the fifth-place final over the Delta Pacers, while the tournament co-host Semiahmoo Totems placed 11th. Madaisky was named tournament MVP, while all-star nods went to Mallari, Tweedsmuir’s Rachel Bellamare and Clayton Heights’ Veronica Plonis.
There was no shortage of offence in Surrey Eagles games last weekend, but unfortunately for the Birds, most of it was provided by the opposition. The Eagles lost all three games over a three-night stretch last week – including a pair on the road against the first-place Wenatchee Wild – and were outscored 19-5 in the process. Surrey now sits last in the BC Hockey League’s Mainland Divison, with a win-loss record of 4-12. Earlier last week, on Tuesday, Oct. 20, the Eagles managed to stop a two-game losing streak with a victory over the division rival Langley Rivermen. On Friday at South Surrey Arena, the Eagles couldn’t muster a goal against the Chilliwack Chiefs, despite firing 24 shots on goal in the opening two periods, and 29 overall. “We had our chances, but we ran into a hot goalie, and couldn’t bury those chances,” said Eagles head coach Blaine Neufeld. The Chiefs were led by Cloverdale native Darien Craighead, who opened the scoring in the first period, and also added an assist on a second-period goal from Dennis Cholowski. After the home-ice defeat, the Eagles packed up and headed south to Wenatchee, Wash. to battle the Wild, who, despite being in their first season in the BCHL, have quickly proven to be one of the circuit’s premier teams. Each team’s offence was in top form Saturday, as the squads combined for 12 goals in a 7-5 Wild win. Unlike a day earlier, Surrey wasted little time getting on the scoreboard Saturday, as Owen Johnson gave the visitors a 1-0 lead just 58 seconds into the game. However, Wenatchee tied the the game just 12 seconds i see page 28

i from page 27 later, and led 3-2 after 20 minutes. Eagles’ captain Kyle Star also scored in the opening period. The Eagles began the second period quickly, too, as Darius Davidson tied the game 3-3 with a shorthanded marker just 18 seconds after puck drop, and he scored again 10 minutes later. Wenatchee scored three in the period, including back-to-back power-play tallies, and led 6-4 heading into the third. In the final frame, Surrey made it 6-5 on a John Wesley powerplay goal, and the team pressed for the equalizer in the game’s waning minutes, until Wild’s Troy Conzo scored an emptynetter with 18 seconds left. “That’s a game we should’ve won. It was close all the way through,” Neufeld said. Sunday night’s tilt was not as evenly played, however, as the Wild exploded for six goals in the opening 30 minutes of play, en route to an 8-0 win. Though the score was far from flattering, Neufeld chalked up the result to his team playing tired and undermanned. The team was without a handful of regulars, especially on the blue line and in net, where Justin LaForest continues to be sidelined, leaving second-year netminder Daniel Davidson to carry the load. “We had to ask a lot of some

Eagles’ forward John Wesley scored once Saturday, in a 7-5 loss. of our young players, putting them in situations they normally wouldn’t be in, and that’s awfully tough when you’re playing your third game in three nights,” Neufeld explained. LaForest isn’t expected back until early December. The weekend’s barrage of goalsagainst did little to improve the Eagles’ overall goal differential for the season. The team – which was last in that category last year – has given up 36 more goals than they’ve scored this season, which is the worst mark in the BCHL. Again, Neufeld chalked up

the number to the recent spate of injuries, and expected it to normalize as his team moved forward. “That wasn’t our hockey team on the weekend. That’s not our group, that’s not how we play,” he said. “We’ve been competitive all year, and every team is going to have a game or two like that. We just got ours out of the way.” The Eagles will look to win their fifth game of the season Friday, when they head to Chilliwack to battle the Chiefs. On Sunday, they’ll head to the Langley Events Centre for a 3 p.m. game against the Rivermen.

April 25,1935 - October 22,2015 Eleanor passed away peacefully at Surrey Memorial Hospital after suffering
a devastating stroke at home in South Surrey on October 13th. Eleanor was born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta where she met her husband Eric at her workplace.

Eleanor is survived by her husband Eric, daughter Linda (Jack), son Rick (Brenda), 3 grandchildren - Lauren, Trevor, and Logan, her sister Carol, brother-in-law John and nephew Barry. No service by her request. Final arrangements entrusted to Victory Memorial Park, South Surrey, BC. The family would like to say a special thank you to the first responders, the staff at Peace Arch Hospital, Vancouver General Hospital and Surrey Memorial Hospital, all of whom were caring and compassionate in Eleanorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final days. Do not think of me as gone I am with you still - in each new dawn
