Online survey sees 800 per cent increase in White Rock/South Surrey feedback, transit officials say

TransLink’s efforts fall short: mayor Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin is calling on TransLink “to do more” with regards to engaging the community on proposed transit changes announced earlier this month. During his mayor’s report at council Monday evening, Baldwin said he has requested that staff reach out to TransLink, noting a booth at an unrelated city-hosted open house last night (Thursday, after Peace Arch News’ deadline) was not enough. “As far as community consultation goes, in my books, a session tagging onto a Development Cost Charge session really doesn’t do justice to the residents and the process of

trying to get some feedback from them on TransLink changes,” Baldwin said. “I’d like to see them, in view of the fact they take several million bucks from us each year, do a bit more in that respect.” TransLink media spokesperson Cheryl Ziola confirmed via email that besides this week’s booth at the DCC meeting, the public’s only other opportunity to provide feedback is through an online survey. When asked for a response to Baldwin’s call for increased engagement, Ziola said staff were working with the city to “identify potential opportunities” to reach out to residents. “Our experience is that we can reach more

customers if we build on scheduled vice changes – eight in total for and heavily promoted community White Rock/South Surrey, involvevents, rather than set up a standing the 351, 352, 354, C50, C51, alone event,” Ziola said. “But we C52 and C53 – at the Oct. 5 council can always do better and are always meeting that included a presenopen to new ideas and ways to reach tation from TransLink representaour customers and stakeholders.” tives.

A woman is lucky to have avoided serious injury after a truck crashed into a bus stop where she was waiting Wednesday morning. At about 9 a.m., a Ford F150 pickup, driven by a 17-year-old boy, was heading east on 60 Avenue and turning north onto 152 Street. The driver lost control of the truck and smashed into a bus shelter, shattering the glass at the back of the structure. A woman who was waiting for the bus was not struck directly by the truck, police say, but was thrown through the back of the shelter and sustained minor injuries. It’s the third time this month that a person has been struck by a vehicle while waiting at a bus stop. On Oct. 7, 22-year-old Evan Archibald was killed when a Jeep driven by a 17-year-old girl struck him while he waited at a bus stop on Fraser Highway near 156 Street. i see page 4

School board chair calls for financial equity with other parts of B.C.

Province ‘doesn’t help growing districts’ Sheila Reynolds Black Press

While shrinking school districts get compensation for their declining enrolment, Surrey has had to cut staff to pay for portables for its ever-growing student population. And that, according to the Surrey school board chair, simply isn’t fair. Shawn Wilson pointed, as part of a presentation to the Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services, to what trustees feel is inequitable treatment. He said earlier this month that the province has provisions to cover unique costs for districts where student numbers are dwindling, but there’s nothing for districts that incur extraordinary costs for increased enrolment.

“The playing field is uneven when we must reduce teaching staff to pay for portables while other district budgets are effectively compensated for vacant space,” Wilson said. A lack of capital funding has left Surrey bustling with more than 70,000 students and not enough school space to put them in. The 300 portables housing the student overflow cost $15,000 apiece annually, equating to $4.5 million from Surrey’s operating budget – enough to pay about 50 teachers. “While we acknowledge receiving a lion’s share of funding over the past decade, our situation remains critical,” Wilson said. “Surrey has more students in portables than half of B.C. school districts have in total enrolment.” Surrey submitted its capital wish list to

government last week, with a new high school in the Grandview Heights area once again topping the list. The district owns land near South Surrey’s nearly completed indoor swimming pool and has been waiting for funding to proceed with construction. Even if announced today, the $47-million school would take three years to build, leaving crowded neighbouring schools scrambling. Earl Marriott Secondary and three other Surrey high schools already run dual shifts, with alternate times. Wilson said that while this was once a temporary measure, it’s become the norm in B.C. largest district. He called for a “well-supported, well-articulated and transparent” capital plan so adequate facilities can be provided for students,

and said the province needs to stop encouraging districts to bring in international students without allowing them to be counted in school-capacity calculations. Wilson also touched on shared services, a concept wherein districts can share costs for things all districts use. As a large district, Surrey trustees don’t feel it’s always financially beneficial and would like to have a choice whether to participate. Surrey’s final concern brought to the standing committee was the need for a “robust, fully funded” compensation plan for exempt (non-union) staff, who have not had a wage increase for six years. Wilson said it’s making it difficult to recruit leadership and managers, who “lag behind” those they supervise.

Students Texas-bound

They mean business Elgin Park Secondary teacher Jay Mundi had a challenge for his business club students Tuesday. “What can we do with a pen?” Mundi said. “Start thinking. What is a business we could start up that could make a lot – a lot – of money?” The answer, Maple Lei, 15, acknowledged, will take creative thinking. “You’ve got to have a good imagination,” she said, as she and fellow student Paul Sidhu began researching. Lei believes the skills she’s learning can be applied to any career path. “Any job might involve business,” she told Peace Arch News this week. Mundi is confident his students’ knack for creative challenges will assist them next month, when they go up against students from around the globe at the International Entrepreneurship Conference in Texas, Nov. 20-22. The team has been preparing for the sales-pitch competition for weeks, and Saturday, applied their skills at the BC Business Educators Association conference in Vancouver. Elgin is the only B.C. school competing internationally, Mundi noted. – Tracy Holmes

Complex situations arise for both cat owners and city staff

‘Everybody’s been trying to do the right thing’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A cat that was euthanized in Surrey last week – after it was found with significant injuries in White Rock two weeks earlier – is a difficult and expensive lesson on the importance of keeping feline friends inside, officials say. Surrey bylaw business operations manager Kim Marosevich said the four-year-old domestic shorthair was taken by Surrey Animal Resource Centre staff for emergency veterinary care after it was found injured on Oct. 4. Examination determined her injuries, likely from being struck by a car, included a broken jaw and internal trauma. Following treatment, she was transferred to

another vet the following day for ongoing care, where further injuries were identified. Despite best efforts over the following two weeks – and “a lot of ups and downs” in the cat’s recovery – it was euthanized on Oct. 18. Contributed photo Marosevich estimated the bill Hit by vehicle. for the cat’s care – money that will be absorbed by the city – at around $2,000. While the owner was located through microchip information, she was unable to pay the tab or provide ongoing care, and she signed her pet over to the city about

a week after the cat was found. The owner had contacted Peace Arch News shortly after hearing from the city. Initially, she was distraught at being told she couldn’t see her pet or know where the cat was being treated until she had paid the bill and could prove she had a plan for her pet’s future care. “We wouldn’t release a cat with no treatment followup plan,” Marosevich said at the time. She explained the procedure is in place in the best of interest of the animals in the care of the city’s Surrey Animal Resource Centre, and in an effort to recover impound fees. She noted veterinary care is the centre’s largest expense “by a landslide,” and just “a teeny, tiny percentage” of that is ever recovered.

Marosevich said not disclosing animals’ locations is also to protect the integrity of the city’s partnership with veterinarians who provide the animal-care services, she said; to avoid putting the vet in a situation of dealing with a potentially difficult owner. The owner of the White Rock cat said later that her angered first response was “knee-jerk,” and that she came to realize that “everybody’s been trying to do the right thing.” Marosevich noted such situations are “incredibly complex,” and how the city deals with them are often not understood by the public. Euthanization is never the end goal, she added. “The story is supposed to end happy,” she said. “We did a bunch of

stuff (for this cat) and it didn’t work.” Marosevich acknowledged that while it can be challenging to keep some cats inside, there are resources available to help those who are struggling. She encouraged such owners to call the shelter (604-574-6622) “and ask for help.” “If the shelter doesn’t have information, we’ll refer,” she said. “Sometimes, the challenge is people don’t know to look for help until it’s too late.” And with darkness falling earlier and earlier, “maybe now it’s the time of year for people to reconsider” letting their pets roam, Marosevich said. “The risk, for all of us, goes up,” she said.

Two air ambulances were called to 8 Avenue and 184 Street when four were injured in a collision.

Serious crashes Emergency crews were kept busy in South Surrey this week, responding to two serious crashes that resulted in several people with minor injuries, and one hurt critically. Tuesday morning’s crash – a T-bone collision between a courier van and a Toyota Corolla at 8 Avenue and 184 Street – resulted in two air ambulances being dispatched and one passenger with critical injuries. Three occupants of the Toyota – men aged 20, 24 and 30 years old – and the 71-year-old driver of the van were taken to hospital.

No update on the critically injured victim was available at Peace Arch News press time Thursday morning. Surrey RCMP reported minor injuries in a three-vehicle crash Wednesday morning at 16 Avenue east of 192 Street, between two dump trucks and a minivan. At press time, residents expressed concern that diesel leaked into the fish-bearing Little Campbell river. In both incidents, traffic was blocked for several hours while crews cleared the scene and investigated. – Tracy Holmes & Melissa Smalley

City encourages survey response i from page 1 Responding to an inquiry from Coun. David Chesney about what engagement TransLink had planned, Daniel Freeman, manager of transit network management, said staff were planning to reach out to community groups with the hopes of getting the word out about the proposed changes. He also said they were planning

to “have staff out at a few key locations” to engage with riders face-to-face, although, at the time, Freeman said dates had not been finalized. City manager Dan Bottrill told PAN Wednesday that he was told by TransLink’s vice-president of transportation planning and policy Tim Savoie – who also spoke at the Oct. 5 meeting – that there

were no further plans for engagement beyond Thursday’s booth and the online survey. “We’re going to continue to encourage our community partners, including TransLink. We want to make sure our community is engaged properly,” Bottrill said. The survey can be found at www.translink.ca/tnc, then select “White Rock-South Surrey”.

Police advise riders to be alert i from page 1 Archibald was taken to hospital in critical condition, but succumbed to his injuries. The next day, just after 6 p.m., a white Corvette was travelling north on King George Boulevard near 96 Avenue when it lost control, struck a fire hydrant and crashed into a bus shelter, seriously injuring a pedestrian and a passenger in the car. A witness at the scene saw the driver flee and followed him a short distance, where he was seen

getting into a taxi. Police stopped a taxi at 88 Avenue and King George Boulevard and arrested a man. Surrey RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann noted bus stops tend to be located close to intersections, where a majority of accidents take place. As for transit users, Schumann said it’s always a good idea to be extra mindful. “Certainly, whenever you’re near the road, even just going down the sidewalk, you should try to be as aware of your surroundings as

possible,” he said. “Not only for vehicles, but also for strangers.” Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner said the series of bus-stop crashes appear to be an unfortunate anomaly. She said redesigning shelters to better protect transit users would be premature. “Is it such a significant issue that we should do something about the design of a bus shelter?” Hepner asked. “Probably not, in my opinion.” Witnesses are asked to call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.

Sinclair questions timing Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

Two of three controversial highrise development proposals in White Rock’s Everall neighbourhood will be moving forward to the city’s land use and planning committee after getting the goahead from the advisory design panel (ADP) earlier this month. Applications for a two-tower development – 21 and 24 storeys – proposed for 1454 Oxford St. and a 13-storey building at the corner of Thrift and Oxford will be the subject of a staff review, council was told Monday by the city’s director of planning and development, Karen Cooper. The third, a 13-storey development slated for 14825/35 Thrift Ave., will return to the ADP for revisions, council heard. Cooper acknowledged the public’s “significant interest” in the proposals – all of which require Official Community Plan amendments and rezoning – noting the Oxford Street proposal, submitted by Elegant Development, has been the subject of more than 160 written submissions and petitions, both in support and opposition. “All the concerns raised by the public will be addressed in the report to the land use and planning committee and council,” Cooper said.

editorial

Explanation does not compute

everal years ago, Premier Christy Clark promised a new era of accountability. We assumed that would mean politicians and bureaucrats alike would be putting their decisions and decision-making processes out to the public for all to witness. Instead, what we have is an era in which ministers and government staff alike have been in the habit of ‘triple-deleting’ emailed correspondence – not simply deleting emails from their computers, but also from their electronic trash folders and backup servers. Simply put, emails – untold thousands of them that should have been part of the public record – have simply ‘disappeared.’ B.C. Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham – in last week’s withering report on her investigation of Freedom of Information requests concerning the Highway of Tears case – says it is “difficult to overstate the seriousness of the problem… and the resulting effects on the integrity of the access to information process in our province.” However, what it seems to have come down to for the premier, in her account before the Legislature, is that government communications were being triple-deleted because emails are new technology, and there is no consistent understanding among her staff on how to treat them. She followed Denham’s report with an order that all ministers and political staff must keep every email they send until new procedures are in place. (It should be noted the premier has said her new no-delete policy won’t affect her, as she rarely uses email for government business.) It is not surprising that many have trouble with Clark’s explanation. This is 2015, after all. Not 1995, nor even 2005. Many of us, by now, have mastered the concept of email. We might delete old correspondence. But most of us are not in government, with a responsibility to be able to produce key communications when asked. Chances are that most private individuals do not employ a triple-delete protocol. We would do that only if... well, if we had something to hide. And that is why Clark’s explanations won’t wash. Triple-deleting is the electronic equivalent of shredding documents. That it is being done on such a scale is disturbing. In the old, paper-trail days, such wilful destruction would have involved hundreds of truckloads of files being hauled to the incinerator. Clark’s glib explanations show more than a troubling lack of understanding for the need for public trust and confidence. They show a contempt for the intelligence of the public itself.

Speak up, bus riders

Election night afterthoughts

Editor: TransLink is again proposing changes to routes running through the South Surrey area (‘Crummy’ TransLink service derided, Oct. 9). The changes will probably affect every transit rider in the vicinity. I cannot speak for all routes, however, the changes are negative for the routes that I use. These changes are cumbersome, They eliminate being able to travel to certain areas now covered by bus service, and they will alienate an established ridership. In particular, route 351 faces radical adjustments in non-rush-hour times. It is proposed all 351 buses will go from Bridgeport to White Rock Centre then return. Anyone wishing to travel west of the centre must transfer to a smaller bus running along 16 Avenue every 30 minutes. Before the Canada Line, the 351 extended from Crescent Beach to Vancouver. When the line opened, the shortened 351 route terminated at Bridgeport. At the same time, TransLink committed to improved service – the rush-hour service was more frequent; the remainder of services were adversely impacted. Now, TransLink proposes a further decrease in service. Changes are being proposed with virtually no notification to riders.

I am encouraged that Dianne Watts has so publicly stated that she will “represent this riding and I will take the issues of the people of this riding forward to Ottawa.” She has also offered to be a “strong voice for you,” which gives me optimism after our experience of the past years where the party position in Ottawa was clearly represented to the people, rather than the other way round. I want to congratulate her on winning an extremely close contest for the right to represent all of us. Undoubtedly, one subject that will be voted on in this new Parliament is the legalization of cannabis. While I do not think this should be the first order-of-business in Ottawa, it is a subject that people in B.C. have spoken clearly on over the years, and in the past month a poll indicated that over two-thirds of the population endorse legalization. The current prohibition is clearly not working and supports the

Mayor made the right call Editor I’ve heard the public’s retorts regarding Mayor Wayne Baldwin’s attempt to remove Margaret Woods from White Rock council chambers (Mayor calls in police to eject former councillor, Sept. 30). Let’s move forward and “remember what we all learned in kindergarten,” and if, by chance, like Ms. Woods, you missed this class, please allow me to recap: • Share everything – this includes floor time; • Play fair and listen – you may just learn something new; • Don’t hit or stab people • If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all • Clean up your own mess and be responsible for your actions; • Learn to say you’re sorry – forgiveness goes a long way; • Live a balanced life – be grateful and polite; • Take a nap every afternoon – it makes you less cranky; • When you go out in the world, remember, you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. I would like to thank Baldwin for his concern of the public’s safety and taking action when he felt necessary. Unfortunately, nowadays, you just never know… C. Colby, White Rock

criminal element and the associated gang violence that make our community safety a genuine concern. While accepting that it is never easy to admit error, can I now encourage Watts to step down from the ledge of her previous ‘tough-on-crime’ stance and look both at the facts of criminal funding through cannabis and the clear preference of her constituents? David Hutchinson, Surrey Q A very interesting quote from Judy Higginbotham in the Oct. 21 issue: “We’re a fairly wealthy riding and a lot of the one per cent were worried they were going to lose money (if the Liberals were elected),” she said. “But I’ve got news for you – you’re going to lose it anyway because Trudeau won.” First of all, this vindictive and unprofessional response maybe says a lot about the losing candidate. Also, the Liberals said the tax rate for those making over $200,000 a year would raise from 43 per cent to over 59 per cent, and according to Statistics Canada, the number of Canadians making over $200,000 is actually 546,010 – or 2.08 per cent of the population, not one per cent. I hope the Liberals are better at putting together next year’s budget! Wayne G. Mercer, Surrey Q

A word to the wise for all the people who stood in line for hours to vote in the advance polls. At the advance polls, there are two to four stations. None of them have a list of voters, which means the poll clerk has to write every voter’s name and address into a poll book. Needless to say, that takes time. On election day, every polling place has four or more stations. Every station has a book with names and addresses, and all the clerk has to do is to put a line through the column once the voter has been identified. I worked four days at the provincial advance poll and my station had over 2,000 voters alone. On election day, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Semiahmoo Secondary, we processed 85 people – about seven an hour. Needless to say, we had no lineups. We were very lonely and missed all of you advance voters very much. As originally intended, advance voting was for people who would be away or unable to vote on the day voting was scheduled. As it has turned out, people think that advance voting is advantageous and would result in no waiting times. Next time, you all might want to rethink your method and stick to the date appointed. Trust me, the lineups will be much shorter. Edie Williams, Surrey

Questions linger over efforts to relocate the waterfront BNSF train tracks from South Surrey and White Rock.

Skepticism over rail relocation Editor: Re: Moving tracks ‘does little for Surrey’, Oct. 23. I can’t help wondering if any of the three proponents of spending considerable taxpayer money to study moving the train tracks have asked the owner of the property what they would then do with the property. My guess is they haven’t – even after White Rock taxpayers already ponied up $20,000. But let’s use a hypothetical scenario for a moment. OK, the tracks are gone and someone paid roughly $300 million to make that happen. Now what? What will the owner of the property do with the land? White Rock doesn’t own the land or the beach. Neither does Surrey. The land is owned by Burlington Northern Railway, and BNSF is owned by Berkshire Hathaway, which in turn is owned by Warren Buffet, who also owns Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices. And somehow I don’t think that the three folks mentioned in the PAN article have Buffet on speed dial. So again, I ask, after the tracks, what? Seriously, if you owned miles of prime waterfront property and a realestate development company, what would you do with it? Barry Gaudin, White Rock Q An open letter to MP-elect Dianne Watts, Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner and White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin: I read with interest Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner’s view that the study regarding the relocation of the railway would benefit White Rock more than Surrey. It would seem that White Rock is the primary supporter of this idea, together with some folks who live in South Surrey, in particular Crescent Beach. We are told the study would likely cost $700,000 and if accepted

would lead to another $400 million if implemented. White Rock’s track record of studies is pretty bad. Remember the money spent studying whether to contract out firefighting to Surrey? The study was put in File 13. As was the report produced by a California company asked to come up with a corporate jingle – eventually resolved with a competition sporting a $50 prize. So why should we think this little escapade will end differently? The reasons cited for relocating the railway track are safety and the environment. Just because the railway takes another route does not mean that the environmental issue vanishes. What about having to cross the Little Campbell River, the Nicomekl and the Serpentine, not to mention other possible hazards such as Burns Bog, or don’t they count? In other words, it would be swapping one environmental issue for another. Safety breaks down into two issues: people walking on the tracks and Crescent Beach residents possibly being trapped, without emergency-vehicle access. So why not extend the pedestrian walkway from White Rock to connect to Crescent Beach? Make it wide enough for cyclists, as well as emergency vehicles if required. Not only would the residents of Crescent Beach no longer be “trapped,” it would enhance the area and eliminate the perceived need to walk on the tracks. Finally, does anyone really think this could be done for $400 million? Just look at the demolition of Vancouver’s viaducts – already doubled to over $200 million. Let’s face it, the train has been there for over a 100 years and the people who complain about it are probably the same folks who go and live next to an airport and then complain about the planes. Ken Harrap, Surrey

Paddler in distress in Semiahmoo Bay

Kayaker comes to rescue A quick-acting kayaker helped avert tragedy last Friday, coming to the aid of a fellow paddler in distress. Coast Guard, police, fire and ambulance crews rushed to White Rock’s waterfront around 3:30 p.m. Oct. 23, following a report of someone in trouble in the water in the 15500-block of Marine Drive. Fortunately, the situation was all-but-resolved when crews arrived. “By the time we got there, he was already to shore,” White Rock RCMP Sgt. Joel Glen told Peace Arch News. Andrew Newman, who oper-

ates a whale-watching boat in the area, told PAN he was in the bay with passengers “to show them how peaceful” it is when he heard fire trucks in the distance, followed by a call for “any vessel in the area of East Beach” to assist. “I told people to hang on,” Newman said, of the caution he issued before setting off to see if he could help. Newman’s assistance was also not required. Joel and White Rock fire Chief Phil Lemire did not know how the 39-year-old Surrey resident ran into trouble or if he had been wearing a lifejacket at the time, but said the incident is a good

reminder to those who enjoy activities on the water to play safe. “Kayaking in the ocean by yourself… it’s probably a good idea to let people know where you are and if you’re by yourself, wear a lifejacket,” Glen said. The incident occurred just two days before Sunday’s tragedy in the waters off of Tofino, where five British nationals died after the whale-watching boat they were on capsized. The search for a sixth victim was turned over to RCMP Sunday night. Of 27 passengers and crew onboard, 21 were rescued. – Tracy Holmes

Windstorm floods 911 with calls Jeff Nagel Black Press

About 40 per cent of attempted calls to 911 rang busy during the major windstorm that walloped the Lower Mainland Aug. 29. E-Comm spokesperson Jody Robertson said the emergency communications centre had five times as many staff on as usual that Saturday afternoon but the 30 call takers were overwhelmed by the heavy volume of 911 calls, many for non-emergencies, including queries about power outages. With the winter storm season now approaching, E-Comm and its partner response agencies are continuing to review the summer incident to determine what, if anything, could be done to improve 911 performance. “Are there any potential technical or operational changes that might help to mitigate the impacts of mass calling events? That’s actively being looked at right now,” Robertson said.

File photo

A tree blocks a lane in Surrey after a windstorm in late August. At the peak of the summer storm, E-Comm handled 600 calls in one hour that actually got through, up from a normal 100. “This was the biggest one-time surge in 911 call volume we’ve ever experienced,” she said, noting she’s not aware of any true emergencies that were worsened because of any delays in response due to the jammed lines. E-Comm knew many 911 call-

ers weren’t getting through and took to social media to urge residents not to call unless they had a true emergency. But numerous calls still flooded in to report power outages, ask when service would be restored or report downed trees that posed no imminent risk. “Our experience is any time there’s a power outage, even if it’s a small one, we get these calls,” Robertson said.

hauled on any train, no matter where it goes. A tunnel does not guarantee there won’t be a derailment. BNSF has proven to be a good operator, with no derailments along the waterfront line for many years. There is a significant problem at Crescent Beach, with emergency services unable to get into the residential area if a train blocks the tracks. That can be solved with an overpass – a far cheaper alternative to a 10-kilometre tunnel. Amtrak passengers would benefit from travel time savings if there was a direct line from Blaine to Cloverdale. However, the time saving would likely be no more than 10 to 15 minutes – not much for a trip that now takes about four hours from Seattle to Vancouver. Surrey and White Rock would benefit if the waterfront property could become a regional park and trail. However, BNSF is the owner of that land and won’t give it up for nothing. And what would happen to White Rock’s lucrative pay parking on BNSF property? A new owner of that land might want to put it to other uses. These are some of the advantages and disadvantages of a possible new route. There are many others. It is important that any relocation move be driven by facts, not rumours or feelings. It is also important that taxpayers be kept in the loop from the beginning, as any relocation project will cost them dearly. They need to be convinced that such a project is a good use of tax dollars. Frank Bucholtz writes Fridays for Peace Arch News. frank.bucholtz@gmail.com

Assistance dogs visit South Surrey Rotary to show off skills

Trauma K9 lends a helping paw to victims Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

t seven years old, brothers Caber and Tartan leave a lasting impression – and it’s not just because of their striking good looks. The yellow Labrador retrievers – both highly trained assistance dogs – change lives. As Canada’s first Trauma K9, Caber helps victims of crime, including, as of this past May, by providing support to young sexualassault victims in the courtroom. With just two trials at Surrey Provincial Court under his collar so far, its obvious to handler Kim Gramlich – co-ordinator of Victim Services for Delta Police – that Caber’s skills are invaluable. “In both cases, the witnesses outside of the courtroom on breaks were struggling,” Gramlich said, noting both were ready to walk away from the emotional and traumatic experience without finishing their testimony. With Caber at each girl’s side, however, they got through. “On both cases, we really felt Caber was instrumental. He really helped them find that fortitude to go on.” Caber and Tartan – both raised and trained through Burnabybased Pacific Assistance Dogs Society – were in South Surrey Wednesday with Gramlich and Coquitlam resident Karen Bryon to share their skills with Rotary Club of South Surrey members. Tartan, raised from puppyhood by PADS volunteer Bryon, is an official demonstration dog for the society, helping spread awareness of the PADS program by showing firsthand just how much assistance four-legged friends can provide to mobility, hearing or otherwise impaired clients. Wednesday, he alerted Bryon to a telephone ringing and a smoke alarm; turned lights on and off; opened and closed a small fridge; retrieved and gently delivered an item from the floor; and helped her take off a sock. While Tartan performed the tasks with ease, Gramlich pointed

out that he had to know “quite a sequence” of commands to pull some of them off, including “look”, “get”, “hold”, “bring” and “give” – skills PADS’ dogs learn through extensive training. Questions from Rotary members included one about etiquette – how the general public should treat a PADS dog, when one of the bluevested companions is spotted with his or her client companion. Noting the dogs are typically concentrating on the important task of keeping their companions safe, Gramlich said it’s best to simply leave them be. Don’t pet them, she said, “because distracting the dog from what it’s doing could be very problematic.” PADS’ latest canine graduates were celebrated in a ceremony

WE’RE

Sept. 27. It’s an event that always brings attendees to tears, said Gramlich and Bryon, as puppy raisers say goodbye to their charges, and the success of a client match is marked. But while it is “heartbreaking” to say goodbye to a PADS puppy, it’s also rewarding, Bryon said. “When you see these dogs with a client and how they’ve changed their lives, it’s worth every bit of it,” Bryon said. For more information about PADS, or to donate – PADS relies heavily on donations to cover the costs of raising and training its dogs – visit www.pads.ca The Burnaby facility will also host an open house from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dec. 5, at 9048 Stormont Ave.

The growing trend of child and youth exploitation online – and police challenges in dealing with it – was highlighted by Surrey’s top cop last weekend, at a conference organized for victim-services personnel. Noting the Internet is “not a thing, it’s a place,” Chief Supt. Bill Fordy said policing it is “extremely difficult, as it is a place where anonymity reigns.” “It’s a place full of people doing a lot of great things, but also some extremely bad things,” Fordy said in a statement issued Wednesday regarding the Oct. 24 event. Delegates at the Innocence Gone in Seconds: Responding to Child and Youth Exploitation conference heard that on average, 15 per cent of the files investigated by Surrey RCMP’s Youth Unit involve some aspect of social media. Youth Unit Sgt. Neil Kennedy said it’s imperative that parents and youth alike be aware of the risks of using online technology,

White Rock swimmer Hilary Caldwell a 2016 Olympic hopeful

City salutes athlete’s success WINTER MARKETS A White Rock native and 2016 Olympic hopeful was honoured by city council this week. The accomplishments of 24-year-old swimmer Hilary Caldwell were recognized by Mayor Wayne Baldwin Monday, who, after a short presentation highlighting Caldwell’s many wins, presented her parents Gillian and Chalmers with a gift from the city. Caldwell – who competed in the 200-m backstroke at the London Olympic Games in 2012

– has earned numerous medals throughout her swimming career, which started in 1997 with the Pacific Seawolves. She won bronze in 2013 at the FINA World Championships – Canada’s first medallist in the sport since 1978 – breaking Canada’s records for the swim. In 2014, she won bronze at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, and most recently she took home the gold at the 2015 Pan Am Games in Toronto, setting a new games record with

her time of 2:08.22. Baldwin noted Caldwell couldn’t attend Monday’s presentation as she was training for Olympic time-trials in April, with the hopes of qualifying for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, set for next August. “No matter what happens, we have a lot of pride in her and her accomplishments, and she is certainly representing our community extremely well,” Baldwin said. – Melissa Smalley

RIVERSIDE GOLF IS TRYING TO PRESENT AN ALTERNATIVE DESIGN THAT WILL BE A GREATER BENEFIT AND ACHIEVE BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION, PASSIVE RECREATION, WILDLIFE AND SCENERY VIEWING FOR THE PUBLIC TO ENJOY The city has denied us the ability to present our petition to the city regarding their actions at the upcoming council meeting because there might be legal actions in the future. This means anyone who has a strong objection to what the city is doing cannot state their objections to the elected officials. This would seem to be a denial of basic civil rights. We are going to go to city hall to present a positive alternative. We hope the people will be there to support us and view our new design! The irony is we are trying to present our petition which is to suggest a win-win scenario which is the city puts in the road extension, puts in the walkway on the dike, which is what the planners have wanted for decades and is what their BCS plan shows on the map. In exchange for this amount of our lands, rebuild our facility on the

remaining lands and returning ownership of these lands to us. This will achieve the city’s goals in their BCS plan, we can remain still part of the local community and the citizens retain the practice facility that many have used for most of their lives (or as long as they have lived in the community). With the continued growth in the area there will be an even greater need for recreation. We have an architect making a possible design for a beautiful new facility that would be a perfect fit for the “gateway” to South Surrey, which we want to show the city. Please join us at the Nov. 2 council meeting at 13450 - 104 Avenue to show your support. Thank-you. Ken and Gordon Poirier

Officials remind residents of the dangers of fireworks

Lending a hand for safety Evan Seal Black Press

At a park in Panorama Ridge Tuesday afternoon, a firework – similar to an Air Bomb – is taped to a small piece of plywood shaped like a human hand. Once detonated, not much remains, just splinters of fractured wood, illustrating how much damage could be done to a real hand. The demonstration at Joe Brown Park was part of a Halloween safety reminder from the Surrey RCMP’s explosive-disposal unit about the dangers of improper handling of fireworks. Police also want to remind residents that fireworks and firecrackers are banned in the city unless you have a permit. This Halloween, Surrey RCMP, the City of Surrey and Fraser Health are warning people to stay safe Saturday – especially when out trick-or-treating and when handling fireworks. “The majority of fireworks injuries are burns and cuts and lacerations,” said Surrey Memorial Hospital’s Dr. Craig Murray. “Injuries to the hands are very common, but highly avoidable.” In fact, he said, sparklers – with their red hot tips – are the number-one cause of burns. In recent days Surrey bylaw

Surrey RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann demonstrates the dangers of improperly used fireworks, ahead of Halloween this weekend. enforcement has been targeting the illegal sale of fireworks using various means, including online classified sites and social media, and have so far seized $15,000 worth of products as well as issuing $3,000 in fines. The public cannot possess, sell or light off any fireworks without a permit, said Surrey RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann. Permits can be obtained by visiting www.surrey.ca, but the application deadline has already passed, so if you don’t have a per-

mit by now, fireworks are off-limits this year. Violation fines range anywhere from $250 to $500. To ensure a fun Halloween night for families and trick-or-treaters it is recommended that kids wear bright clothing, carry a flashlight and always use marked crosswalks. The RCMP are also reminding all residents that if they need to contact the police regarding any misuse of fireworks to use the non-emergency line at 604-5990502.

Canada Post’s freeze comes after Liberal election win

Mailbox rollout halted Jeff Nagel Black Press

Canada Post is freezing its plan to end door-todoor mail delivery for hundreds of thousands of additional households and switch them to community mailboxes. The Crown corporation announced Monday it is “temporarily suspending” the plan pending discussions with the incoming Liberal government on how “to determine the best path forward given the ongoing challenges faced by the Canadian postal system.” The Liberals had run on a promise to reverse the shift away from home delivery. Canada Post said 460,000 addresses across the country are in the process of being converted to community mailboxes and all conversions scheduled for November, December or 2016 will be put on hold. “Customers impacted by this decision will receive a letter within the next few weeks advising them of the status of their mail delivery service,” Canada Post said in a news release. “In neighbourhoods where the 10-month internal and community conversion process is complete, customers will collect mail and parcels at their community mailbox. This includes customers set to begin receiving their mail and parcels in their boxes in October. We remain focused on maintaining reliable postal service to all Canadians without disruption.” Community mailboxes have been the target of

Community mailboxes targeted by thieves. criminals across the Lower Mainland, with residents in many neighbourhoods complaining their mail is too vulnerable to theft. The conversion has also been fought by the union representing postal employees. The shift to community mailboxes was supposed to save the Crown corporation $500 million a year. Conservative MP Mark Strahl (Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon) said he’ll be interested to see if Canada Post balances its budget or if the new Liberal government intends to subsidize the shortfall. Only a third of Canadians still receive door-to-door service, he said, and traditional mail is being used less and less. – with files from Jessica Peters

Quads need licence plates Nov. 1 Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. government is making licence plates mandatory for quads, dirt bikes and other off-road vehicles starting Nov. 1, requiring helmets and restricting use by children under 16. The B.C. legislation imposes a $230 fine for driving an unlicensed off-road vehicle, and a $368 fine for careless operation. For some offences under the OffRoad Vehicle Act related to reckless use or environmental damage, penalties can go as high as a $5,000 fine and six months in jail.

Forests Minister Steve Thomson said the $48 fee applies only once when a vehicle is purchased, and was set to recover the costs of the program administered by ICBC. Once startup costs are paid for, a portion of the revenue will go to off-road clubs to use for trail improvements, he said. The province estimates there are 200,000 off-road vehicles that require licensing, including snowmobiles that have been licensed since the 1970s. About 35,000 of those have registered voluntarily since the new licences were offered a year ago.

Jeff Mohr, past president of the Quad Riders Association of B.C., said his members are most of the voluntary registrants so far, and they are pleased B.C. has a system to control the few who ride recklessly or damage the environment. The licence system also allows police to track stolen vehicles. B.C. is the last Canadian province to implement a licensing system. The Quad Riders and B.C.’s 72 snowmobile clubs will publicize the new regulations to their members, and Thomson said they will act as “eyes and ears” for enforcement officers.

Sanjha Vehra - Supporting Women with a Common Goal

anjha Vehra is an international women’s association. Sanjha Vehra, meaning “common courtyard,” has been in operation since 2002. It began with a group of women who started a “kitty party,” which they decided to continue each month...but with a specific purpose. The Sanjha Vehra will now exclusively support the Surrey Hospital & Outpatient Centre Foundation. A kitty party in India and Pakistan is a party usually organized by women. Kitty refers to the funds collected at the party, and every member contributes a certain sum of money each month. At these kitty parties, Sanjha Vehra provides a safe and inviting place for South Asian women to meet together to exchange ideas and discuss issues relating to their participation in Canadian Society. They continue to meet monthly to discuss how to advance the purposes of the organization. There are now Sanjha Vehra associations in Edmonton, Mississippi and Dallas. All four chapters meet on the same day. They also discuss the same topics to ensure the values and goals of the associations remain aligned. The Surrey chapter has grown from 10 members to more than 100, while the Edmonton, Mississippi and Dallas groups have about half that number. In 2005, the Sanjha Vehra began its annual event in support of raising funds to help breast cancer research. Five of the founding members of the Sanjha Vehra Women’s Association were diagnosed and treated for breast cancer. Every year since then, the Association continues fundraising as a tribute to these survivors. This fundraising event is always held in October. Sanjha Vehra approached the Surrey Hospital & Outpatient Centre Foundation in 2013 with a donation totaling $25,000 which they contributed towards the purchase of the SPY Elite Camera for the Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre’s Breast Health Clinic.

The SPY Imaging Elite Camera provides comfort and relief to women undergoing breast reconstruction surgery after cancer treatment. It allows the surgeon to see inside the tissues to verify healthy blood flow of the skin and surrounding tissues. SPY helps to diagnose breast implant possibility at the time of breast removal instead of waiting few weeks after the surgery. This reduces post-operative infections by more than 50 per cent and other complications by 90 per cent. The 2015 Sanjha Vehra fundraiser was held last week and all donations will go towards funding more state-of-the-art equipment for the Breast Health Clinic.

“The reason we chose to support the Surrey Hospital & Outpatient Centre Foundation is because the funds raised are used to buy equipment which is going to treat breast cancer patients,” said Rani Mangat, Founder and Coordinator of Sanjha Vehra Women’s Association. “This way our association felt that the community can see for themselves the benefit of donating the funds.”

Fast facts about the Breast Health Clinic: • The clinic at the Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre sees about 575 patients each month (6,900 annually); • 350 of these women will be new referrals from a family doctor because a lump or other breast abnormality has been found or because of an abnormal screening mammogram result; • In 2014, 23 per cent of patients were 40 years old or under; • Between June 2011 and June 2015, 51,000 patients have had appointments (including clinical exams, follow-ups, imaging and biopsies); • Close to 50 per cent of patients will receive a definitive diagnosis within one week. Another 27 per cent will receive a diagnosis within four weeks; and • 311 patients were diagnosed with cancer in 2014.

“This remarkable group of women is having a dramatic impact on thousands of patients every year. We are fortunate that they decided to give where they live and help people closer to home.” Jane Adams – President, Surrey Hospital and Outpatient Centre Foundation

Proportional representation (PR) would change that, unleashing votes back from mainstream parties.

Hallsor said STV would still generate occasional majority governments, as well as stronger minorities than under PR. STV would see larger ridings, each with multiple MPs. There might be four seats each in new enlarged ridings like Victoria, Surrey and the Fraser Valley, but instead of those areas electing nearly all one party (NDP in Victoria, Liberal in Surrey or Conservative in the Valley), Hallsor said STV would tend to result in at least

Cold feet for Liberals? Will the Trudeau Liberals lose their appetite for reform now that they’ve won a majority with less than 40 per cent of the vote, an outcome that would never be repeated under a new system? Hallsor isn’t holding his breath. But if they press forward, he recommends a referendum be held to get voter consent to whichever system is unveiled. “I don’t think it’s good enough for Parliament just to pass a bill and say ‘Here’s our new system.’ People inherently and for good reason distrust a bunch of politicians writing their own rules for how they get elected.” Trudeau has promised that an all-party committee will study the options. David Schreck, who co-chaired the No campaign against STV in B.C., thinks MPs may waver. “A third of them wouldn’t be there if not for first-past-thepost,” he noted. Schreck predicts Canadians would reject any specific proposal – once they see the details and hear the dueling arguments – as too distasteful or confusing, if it gets put to them. “The surest way to sandbag it and get out from having to implement his promise is to put it to a referendum.”

‘Moving experience’ inspires choir’s performance Alex Browne Arts Reporter

During its last concert tour in Europe in 2014, the South Surrey-based Stella Maris Concert Choir visited the Canadian War Memorial at Vimy. After a brief prayer service, the choir sang Lawrence Binyon and Douglas Guest’s beautiful For The Fallen. Singing such a piece, so near where so many fought and died in the battle of Vimy Ridge – crucial not only in the context of the First World War, but in determining Canada’s identity as a nation – is a memory that will live on with each member of the choir, said director Trudi Stammer. “It was a very moving experience in a very special place,” she said. Inevitably, that experience has inspired

Stella Maris choir visits Vimy Ridge. and informed the choir’s upcoming Remembrance concert, For Peace, at Star of the Sea Parish’s Good Shepherd Church, 2250 150 St., Sunday, Nov. 8 at 3 p.m.

“We are pleased to invite the community to this concert to remember those who have fallen in service to their country; to remind everyone how devastating war is and how precious peace is,” Stammer told the Peace Arch News. As Stammer said, the list of music selected for the concert – a revisiting of a successful Remembrance concert from 2013 including a moving slide presentation encompassing both grief and spiritual uplift – “speaks volumes” on the theme. It’s a variety of traditional and contemporary pieces that speak of remembrance and peace, in some places referencing the First World War and Second World War, but also acknowledging subsequent conflicts, including the Korean War and recent military conflicts in both the

Far East and Middle East, that have shown how elusive an ideal peace is. The inspirational We Rise Again, Stammer noted, was written in 1984 by Canadian poet and songwriter Leon Dubinsky. Although created for the people in Cape Breton at a difficult time in their history, it endures as a song of hope that reflects, as Stammer said, “the struggles of people who have to start over.” The haunting In Remembrance was written by Jeffrey L. Ames specifically to honour friends who had died in a tragic accident, but also works for the broader theme, while contemporary English composer Karl Jenkins’ evocative Mass For Peace and Requiem seem tailor-made for such a concert. › see page 28

Choir brings meaning of peace to children

Relating to Remembrance Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

he importance of remembrance – particularly around Nov. 11 – is easy enough to grasp for older children and teens and even easier for adults with knowledge of the world wars and other conflicts of the last century or, at least, a family context for them. But how can younger children relate to a Remembrance Day concert, either as audience members or as performers? That’s an issue that is being tackled directly, and positively, by Sarona Mynhardt, founder and director of the White Rock Children’s Choir’s musical family, now approaching its 20th year in the community. Their Remembrance Day concert, We Will Not Forget (2 p.m. Nov. 11, St. John’s Presbyterian Church, 1480 George St.), will feature all of the organization’s choirs – some 140

singers in all. And that includes Angeli (ages five to seven), Prelude (ages eight to 11) and Ad Libitum (12 through high school), as well as the Cantrix Women’s Choir, Mynhardt’s “kitchen table” group of women a cappella singers, which recently refocused with a commitment to become a formal choral group. “For younger kids, to sing old war songs doesn’t work – it’s easier for adults to relate to that,” Mynhardt said. “We try to find a way to get kids to relate to different situations in the world,” she said. While the selections by Cantrix will include such touchstones from the past as A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square and Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B, the focus of the concert is even more inclusive, Mynhardt added. “For older people it’s about › see page 28

Public art in White Rock, including the statue ‘Passenger’ on the promenade, has been outlined in a walking-tour map released by the city. File photo

White Rock releases public-art tour map

Take a walk, enjoy some art Though the Fall Festival of the Arts is winding down, the City of White Rock is encouraging art lovers to continue to enjoy and support the local art scene year-round with the release of a public-art walking map. The map aims to showcase “a plethora of public art in the community,” according to a news release issued earlier this week. The map divides the city into two walking routes – uptown and waterfront – and highlights

art installations along each route. In addition to specific installations found throughout White Rock, the map also suggests walkers take note of other artwork not part of the official public-art program – everything from sculptures in building lobbies to murals that adorn the facades of many buildings around town. White Rock’s commitment to public art is funded through the city’s $50,000-per-year Public

Art Reserve, the release notes. “A successful public-art program helps communities develop a sense of pride and ownership in public places and neighbourhoods,” said White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin. “As a city, we continue to prioritize the arts and invest in opportunities that grow and showcase our public-art collection.” The public-art walking map can be found online at www. whiterockcity.ca/publicart

‘Won’t forget’ › from page 25 remembering, but for the kids it’s a promise to the older generations that they won’t forget these things happened, and that they will relate to them in their own way.” Gospel and spiritualstyle songs like Ain’t Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around and Rise And Shine, by world-renowned Afro-American choral director and composer Rollo Dilworth, of Temple University in Philadelphia, emphasize deeper issues and the need to remember the sacrifices of the past, Mynhardt said. “It’s more about ‘how can we make a difference in the world – how can we effect change, and what does peace really mean?” she said, noting that Dilworth – who accepted an invitation to do a workshop with the choirs earlier this month while visiting the Pacific Northwest – “had the children eating out of his hand” during two hours of uplifting work on both musical dynamics and message.”

“He’s really big on this,” Mynhardt said, adding that he involved children in discussions of being bullied or not being treated right. “He told them that everybody in the world has felt at some time that they were not being treated fairly, or that their voice was not heard,” she said. Soloist Josh Bogert, 15 – a well-known performer who is also engineering and producing the choirs’ new CD, Rejoice and Sing, will provide his own perspective with one of his compositions, Carved in Stone. “It was a song he wrote last year about seeing a war memorial, and what it meant to him,” Mynhardt said. “The message... is that everyone can come together in peace – no matter where you come from.” Tickets are $10 (children under 12 free) and proceeds will go to the Sources White RockSouth Surrey Food Bank. For tickets, call 604-536-0236 or email whiterockchildrenschoir@gmail.com

Stella Maris choir › from page 25 And For The Fallen will be reprised, of course – a piece that was specifically composed in 1971 for the annual Remembrance Day service in Westminster Abbey, but set to a poem written in 1914 by First World War poet Binyon. The concert will also include several poetry recitations, Stammer said, the playing of the Last Post, and a concluding performance

of the hymn Amazing Grace in which everyone attending is invited to join in. “In today’s world we need to touch the hearts of all people to promote the gift of peace, and we try to do this through our music,” Stammer said. “We feel that our music can heal, can uplift, and can unite all of us who pray for peace in our world.” Tickets are available at the church office, or at the door.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Jeremiah and Jaxon Mackie have been excelling on cross-country trails

Success runs in the family Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

t takes more than a little rain to slow down the Mackie brothers. That much is clear after watching the two Earl Marriott Secondary siblings – Jaxon, 15, and Jeremiah, 13 – slog through torrential rain and mud in Crescent Park Wednesday, during the junior boys race at Fraser Valley Cross-Country Championships. Jaxon finished first, with a healthy lead over the rest of the field, while Jeremiah – who is in Grade 8 but ran with the juniors – placed sixth. And while conditions were less than ideal, Jaxon admitted he actually enjoys running in the rain – a trait gained, perhaps, after years of soccer, a sport played during the year’s rainiest months. In addition to being accomplished runners, both brothers also play soccer for Coastal FC teams in the high-performance BC Premier League. Their athletic genes come naturally, as their dad, James, is a former competitive road cyclist and runner himself. He made the switch from the former to the latter once he met and married his wife, Janine, he said; lengthy training rides on the bike took him away from his young family for too long. Running was less time-consuming and, it turns out, a way for him to spend even more time with his family. “That’s how the kids got into it – they’d come ride their bikes alongside me when I’d run,” said James, who competed in cycling races across North and South America. Eventually, Jaxon ditched his bike to run alongside his dad, and not long after that, Jeremiah followed suit. “I just wanted to do what they were doing, but then I started to really enjoy it,” Jeremiah said. Janine credits her husband for instilling a love of athletics in the boys from a young age, and before they were old enough to ride their bikes, distinctly remembers James heading out for runs with either one of his boys “in a baby-jogger or a backpack.” “I used to get calls from neighbours i see page 33

Nite of Champions to be held Tuesday at Hazelmere

Penguins’ coach to attend gala Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Jeremiah and Jaxon Mackie finished sixth and first, respectively at Wednesday’s race.

Another impressive guest list has been lined up for next week’s annual Nite of Champions gala, the annual KidSport fundraiser now in its fourth year. At this year’s event, which is set for Tuesday, Nov. 3 at Hazelmere Golf Club, the keynote speaker will be a face familiar to many involved in local hockey circles – Pittsburgh Penguins’ head coach Mike Johnston. Johnston has lived on the Semiahmoo Peninsula since his time as a Vancouver Canucks’ assis- Mike Johnston tant coach, and has been involved with a number of minor-hockey and Hockey Canada initiatives locally through the years. He is in his second year coaching the Penguins, who are in town next week to face the Canucks. KidSport – which has chapters across the coun- Chad Brownlee try, including SurreyWhite Rock – raises money to help cover sports registration costs for young athletes who could not otherwise afford to play. Last year’s event raised more than $100,000, and nearly $300,000 has been raised since the inaugural gala in 2012. More than 1,000 athletes in Surrey and White Rock have been helped so far. Also returning to this year’s event is last year’s guest of honour, country musician Chad Brownlee. The Lower Mainland native was a junior hockey player as a teenager – suiting up for the BC Hockey League’s Vernon Vipers – and earned an NCAA hockey scholarship. He was drafted by the Canucks in 2003, but after a brief professional career, turned his attention to music. This year’s event will again be hosted by Hockey Night in Canada broadcaster, and South Surrey resident, Jim Hughson.

Major-midget team loses for first time all season

Hawks dropped by Giants Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

In a battle between the BC Major Midget Hockey League’s top teams last weekend, the Valley West Hawks came up a little bit short. In a two-game, home-and-home series against the Vancouver NW Giants, the Hawks fell 5-3 Saturday at the Langley Events Centre, before losing the rematch – played Sunday morning in North Vancouver – by a 4-1 score. The losses were the Hawks’ first two of the season. The two-game sweep nudged the Giants past the Hawks and into first place in the BCMML, with 16 points. Valley West sits a single point back, with a record of 7-2-1 (win-loss-tie). “Tough weekend for us,” said Hawks head coach Jessie Leung. “Games between top teams often come down not to who does the most good, but who makes the fewest errors.” In Saturday’s opener, Vancouver took a 2-0 lead in the first period, but Hawks’ Justin De Vos scored just 1:55 into the second period to cut into the lead. Vancouver scored twice more in the middle frame, while Valley West’s Ben Evanish, a White Rock resident, replied for the home side. Ilijah Colina rounded out the scoring for the Hawks with a third-period goal.

Vancouver Northwest Giants defenceman Ryan Bell (left) collides with Valley West Hawks’ Michael Farren during a game Saturday. “I thought we gave up too many chances against a good team and weren’t able to battle our way back,” Leung said. “You never want to play from behind when you play the Giants. They defend better than any team in our league. To spot them two goals to start the game was the wrong way to do it.” Leung said Sunday’s game “was a much better effort” despite the three-goal deficit.

Neither team scored in the first period, though the Giants took the lead 17 seconds into the second. Evanish, replied less than four minutes later to tie the game, but Vancouver scored three times in the third to pull away. The Hawks are back on the ice Saturday and Sunday, with two games against the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds.

Training runs serve as family time i from page 29 reporting that my husband was running down the steepest hill in White Rock with Jeremiah, just a newborn, strapped into the babyjogger,” she said. Now, James serves as the boys’ coach. “The three of us really enjoy that time together,” James said. “It’s not forced training that nobody wants to do. We’ll just go out to Campbell Valley and run for an hour, and chit-chat and catch up. “I get a lot of pleasure training these guys, and watching them grow as athletes and also as young men.” Jaxon said while some may bristle at the idea of having their dad double as their coach, it’s been a positive experience for both him and his brother. In fact, it’s part of the reason the two have never joined a track-andfield or running club, and are instead content to run under the guidance of their father. “I’ve always really liked it. He knows how you’re doing… and can change your program depending on how you’re feeling,” he said. Likewise, the elder Mackie also tries, where he can, to help out his younger brother, who Jaxon admits is faster as a 13-year-old than he was at that age. James was quick to point out that, prior to Wednesday’s junior boys race, Jaxon made sure to

Jeremiah and Jaxon Mackie, with dad, James, at Fraser Valleys. tell his younger brother that, age differences aside, he could compete at that level. “He knew what he could do,” James said. “Part of what’s helping Jeremiah, I think, is he’s got his older brother pushing him.” Juggling cross-country and soccer can be tough, but with what little downtime they have, the Mackies have one other joint pursuit: fly-fishing. But unlike their athletic endeavours, their love of fishing came not from their dad, but from their mom. “It was a book – a book about fishing that she bought us when we were kids,” Jeremiah said.

Now, the brothers can often be found in the backyard of their 0 Avenue home, casting into the Little Campbell River. And if juggling soccer and cross-country schedules wasn’t hard enough, James says it’s even more challenging with a third interest thrown into the mix. “It’s a tough balance for them right now because cross-country classes with the salmon season,” he laughed. Fly-fishing will take a backseat for the next week, as the Mackies – and other runners across the Peninsula – get set for B.C. Cross-Country Championships, which are set for Saturday, Nov. 7 at Vancouver’s Jericho Park.

MORTGAGES “Buying a house is probably one of the biggest purchases you’ll ever make, and you want to be sure you’re getting the mortgage product, features and rate that work for you.”

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

How to financially prepare for a mortgage By Nicolle Hodges

The time has arrived and you’re ready to buy a house. However, there are a few future points to think about before taking out a loan to do so. According to Tyler Saito, Regional Manager at Coast Capital Savings, you should consider how long you plan on living in a home and how much of your total income will go towards the mortgage. Given the costs of buying and selling, it’s advisable to plan to stay in your home for at least five years. For many people setting up a budget can seem overwhelming, but just remember that a budget is really just an outline of your financial priorities. Regardless, a good first step is to get a little guidance. “For example, at Coast Capital we sit

down with our members for a “Where cost of lending, as there are additional fees You’re At Money Chat” to get a snapshot to protect financial institutions against of their finances and a better idea on what mortgage defaults. A higher down payment we can do to help them achieve means you’ll be borrowing less financial well-being,” says Saito. and therefore your payments will He adds that whether you be lower. choose to work with a financial “If you’re a first time homeplanner or on your own, start buyer, you might be able to use planning your budget by deteryour RRSPs as part of your down mining what your income is on a payment thanks to the federal monthly basis and then working government’s Home Buyers’ out your fixed expenses in order Plan,” he says. “Before choosof priorities, such as emergency ing this route, you should talk Tyler Saito and long term savings, debt with a financial planner as there Regional Manager repayment, shelter costs, food are some conditions and the at Coast Capital Savings costs, transportation, grooming, new government has proposed and so on. changes to these rules.” While putting 20 percent down on a When you decide to take the step of home isn’t a must, Saito says a down payshopping around for a mortgage, which ment of less than 20 percent increases your Saito agrees is important to do, it boils

down to the level of service and the mortgage products the financial institution can offer. Saito advises asking yourself if the financial institution is helping you achieve financial well-being. Financial security looks different for everyone so there isn’t a wrong answer in deciding what your financial priorities are – just as long as your income is equal or greater than your total expenses, says Saito. “When it comes to affordability, while there are standards that financial institutions use to determine what buyers can afford, at the end of the day what counts are the priorities you set in your own budget,” he says. “Often a financial institution will approve you for more than you require, but it is up to you to do the math and determine what you can manage.”

4 common mortgage terms explained: B Term: The length of time that the conditions of your mortgage are valid. A typical mortgage term is five years, but longer and shorter terms are available. Conditions that will be held throughout the term of your mortgage include interest rate and payment conditions. C Amortization: The total length of time that the loan (in this case a mortgage) is anticipated to be paid off in. A shorter amortization period means that while your regular mortgage repayments are higher, over the term of the mortgage you will be paying less interest. If you opt for a longer amortization period, your regular repayments may be lower but you will be paying more interest over the term of the mortgage. D Fixed and Variable: Both refer to the interest rate. The interest rate is typically set for the length of your mortgage term. A fixed rate means that your interest rate will not change for the length of your mortgage term. A variable rate means that

the rate will move up and down, usually in line with changes in the prime lending rate. The prime lending rate is the interest rate financial institutions use for their most creditworthy customers – typically other banks. Given the recent pattern of low prime lending rates, a variable rate can be very tempting. However, keep in mind that just a half-percent rise in interest rates on a $400,000 mortgage can mean $2,000 in additional interest costs annually. The interest rates for a fixed rate mortgage may be a little higher but the certainty it offers related to your regular mortgage repayments can be worth the trade-off. E Payment Frequency: Typically the frequency of your payment is quite flexible. You can pay weekly, bi-weekly or monthly. Aligning this to when you receive your paycheck can make budgeting easier but that shouldn’t be your only consideration because by increasing the payment frequency allows you to pay down your principal faster, pay less interest and pay your mortgage off sooner.

Q. Why should I consider getting pre-approved before A.

buying a home?

Years ago, buyers didn’t worry about financing their home purchase until after they found the home they wanted to buy. Once they had an accepted offer, they’d shop around for a week or so and then submit a loan application. Nowadays smart buyers are getting pre-approved for a mortgage. This way, the buyer is seen as more stable, has greater influence in negotiating a purchase price, and can act quickly when they find a home they really love. A pre-approved homebuyer is considered almost as strong as a cash buyer. There are two parts to mortgage approval: 1) approval of the borrower, and 2) approval of the property. Mortgage pre-approval is a process whereby the borrower is approved for a specific mortgage amount. The approval is usually good for a period of time. A property approval is one with satisfactory appraisal and a clear title report. Final mortgage approval also requires a purchase agreement that is signed by the buyer and the seller. If you’d like free advice on getting the very best financing for your home, or how to get preapproved for a mortgage (or even refinancing or a home equity loan), please call me.

OBITUARIES

It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. June was born in Kindersley, SK to Fred and Elizabeth Steele. She was an avid birder and naturalist. She was always engaged in bettering our society and natural environment through her everyday actions. She received the Governor Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bronze medal for Grade 12 scholastic achievement for the province of Saskatchewan. She went on to earn a double degree in Latin and Botany from the University of Saskatchewan which fed and informed her love and appreciation of our natural world. She balanced a full time career, raising her three children and volunteering her time to community organizations. Politics was always a topic of discussion, in the belief that the ballot box is the agent of change. She was a lifelong CCF-NDP supporter always strong in the belief that cooperatively we can build a more just and equitable society. As well as being a regular at the bridge tables of White Rock and South Surrey June was an avid Canucks and BC Lions fan. She possessed a determined and keen intellect right to the very end. Widowed by the death of her beloved husband John Gilbert Somerville Cleghorn in 1995 she is survived by her daughters Elizabeth DeLong, Catherine Cleghorn son David James Cleghorn and daughter-in-law Sandra Ward; grandchildren Dallas Cleghorn, Carrie-Anne Few and Jason Cleghorn. As well, she will be missed by the extended and much loved Gregg Granger family who were so important to her; her brother Donald Steele, sister-in-law Dolores Steele and their extended family. In lieu of flowers we encourage you to donate in her memory to BC Nature (Federation of BC Naturalists) C/O Parks Heritage Centre, 1620 Mount Seymour Road, North Vancouver, B.C. Canada V7G 2R9 or at their website: www.bcnature.ca The celebration of her life will be announced later.

Josephine Antionette Naan It is with great heartbreak that we announce the passing of Josie. Mum passed away after a heart attack and courageous battle with Cancer on September 8th 2015 with her family by her side. Josie was born in Glasgow, Scotland on May 24, 1934, the youngest of four children to Patrick and Elizabeth Naan. As a teenager, she immigrated to Canada with her older sister in 1954; a new adventure. Mum was an amazing woman, a dedicated, loving mother. Despite having a limited education, her brilliance for numbers served her well as a payroll accountant for BC Sugar credit union and for over 30 years with AirBC/Air Canada airline. She was full of surprises, living in a convent, jumping out of a plane with no shoes, and learning to mend fishing nets even while hating the water. She was always up for a good party, a laugh, a big hug and loved to dance the jive where she could rock the house. Upon retirement she did not slow down; Josie loved volunteering for the South Surrey RCMP, Star Of The Sea Soup Kitchen and doing Tai Chi. She is survived by her loving husband of 54 years Edward â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dennisâ&#x20AC;? Stephen, daughters Heather (Jeff Selby), Michelle (Pam Johnson), and beloved grandchildren Kendra, Kieran and Kaelen, sister Teresa Nawn (Blackpool), many nieces and nephews & great nieces and nephews. She was our rock, our mentor, our guide, but most of all our MUM. So when you look up at the sky think of Mum. Look out though, as you may see the seagull she vowed to come back as, so beware! Services will be held at Star of the Sea Church, 1153 Fir Street, White Rock, BC, on November 12, 2015 at 11 am. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Moog Hospice House or Penticton Memorial Hospital in her name.
