Truck-park proponents assure development would only proceed once all concerns are addressed

Diesel spill sparks more criticism Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A collision last week on 16 Avenue involving two dump trucks and a minivan highlights concerns around a truck-parking facility proposed for the area, residents say. “That they’re even considering this is an outrage to us,” said Brian Coote, spokesman for the newly formed Friends of Hazelmere and Campbell Valley. “There’s just so many reasons that this is the wrong site.”

The crash occurred around 8 a.m. last Wednesday, when the dump trucks, travelling in opposite directions east of 192, sideswiped each other. The impact caused one to swerve into the oncoming lane and hit a minivan. While police said injuries weren’t serious, residents say the diesel that spilled from one of the truck’s ruptured tanks into the nearby Little Campbell River is. “It was smashed and it was empty,” Phillip Milligan, president of the Little Campbell

Watershed Society, said of the 380-litre tank. Milligan didn’t know how much fuel was actually in the tank at the time of the collision, however, “certainly, a lot of it drained right down the hill and into the river.” However, according to City of Surrey officials, a work crew responded to the scene only for fuel on the road. “They don’t think anything made it into the river,” spokesman Oliver Lum said Thursday. i see page 5

Dealing with tragedy

Cadieux defends ministry Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Stephanie Cadieux – who has also been Minister of Children and Family Development for the past three years – is well aware of recent criticism levelled at her ministry. The death of 18-year-old Alex Gervais, who jumped or fell from a hotel room window in Abbotsford; the suicide of 19-year-old Carly Fraser, who died the day after she was out of provincial care; and the death of 15-yearold Nick Lang, six days after he Stephanie Cadieux entered a govfamilies minister ernment-funded drug rehab program, are among cases that have put the ministry under a microscope in recent months, with family members calling for public inquiries and an overhaul of policies.

Protesters gather on the steps of city hall in North Surrey, rallying to save Riverside Golf Centre, which is forced to close after expropriation.

Golf course owner says Surrey paid $3.25 million to expropriate 16 acres

Riverside protesters teed off at city hall Two dozen protesters gathered on the steps of Surrey City Hall Monday evening to rally against the city’s expropriation of the 16-acre parcel of land that houses Riverside Golf Centre. Ken Poirier, whose family has owned the 3600 King George Blvd. business for 49 years, arranged the rally after he was told last month he couldn’t appear as a delegation to council because the matter is still before the courts. With a 1,200-name petition in hand, he and his supporters – holding signs that read “Save our Riverside” and “Please talk to us” – arrived

in North Surrey by bus ahead of Monday’s council meeting, but were told they couldn’t come inside city hall with their signs. “Apart from the ruin on our family, they’re doing a disservice to the community,” Poirier told Peace Arch News, noting his family has been given until Jan. 31 to vacate. “We’re trying to show them we have the support of the people who would rather have a golf facility than a freshwater marsh.” Poirier was first notified last January of the city’s plans to “acquire open land for park pur-

poses for biodiversity conservation, passive recreation and the viewing of wildlife and scenery.” After an inquiry in April, the expropriation was completed in June and the City of Surrey now holds the title of the land. According to Poirier, the city paid $3.25 million for the parcel, a fraction of what he believes it is worth. A city lawyer has told PAN Poirier can file a claim if he’s unhappy with compensation. Mayor Linda Hepner said council members have been instructed by legal counsel not to comment. – Melissa Smalley

A lively discussion about motorcycle noise along Marine Drive and skateboards in residential areas arose at White Rock city council last week, following the presentation of proposed bylaw amendments aimed at curbing nuisance properties. The amendments, presented by director of planning and development services Karen Cooper Oct. 26, aim to give city bylaw officers the authority to impose fines upon property owners, whose rental properties are unsightly or the subject of noise complaints. Staff have also recommended changing the start time for construction crews to 7:30 a.m. on weekdays and to 9 a.m. on Saturdays – both from its current 7 a.m. – with the restricted hours also applying to power equipment such as lawn mowers. Following Cooper’s presentation, Coun. Lynne Sinclair asked if the noise-bylaw amendments would extend to skateboarders who, she said, were the source of many noise complaints throughout parts to the city. Cooper responded that the bylaw does not cover skateboarders or long boarders. “When someone is operating equipment on their property, they don’t have as fast a getaway as the skateboarders do,” Cooper said. “Our challenge is actually catching the people who are making the noise, and we don’t get there fast enough.”

TIDES at White Rock Beach

Coun. Megan Knight – noting she lives in a neighbourhood often disrupted by skateboarders – brought up the issue of motorcycle noise along the waterfront. “The noise that comes out of some of those motorcycles is just so annoying,” she said. “Is there anything we’re going to do about that?” Cooper said that most motorcycles are “within acceptable levels of noise” and operators can’t be ticketed unless they are making noise early in the morning or late at night. Coun. Grant Meyer noted that in the past, RCMP officers have held “blitzes” at the beach, when they measure the decibels of a vehicle’s muffler. “Maybe that’s something council can direct the RCMP to ramp up,” Meyer suggested, noting it’s not just motorcycles but also “muscle cars” and other vehicles that contribute to the noise. “Some of this stuff is just total BS, you don’t need your muffler to be at 130 decibels.” Coun. David Chesney said he agreed that the city should ramp up its enforcement efforts, noting motorcycle noise has been an “ongoing problem for decades in White Rock.” “Believe me, in the motorcycle community, word will get out very quickly and these people will no longer be traversing along Marine Drive as they currently are, unfettered,” Chesney said. Council voted unanimously to consider the proposed bylaw amendments.

Three-year halt by Cloud Peak Energy halves coal shipments to one a day along waterfront

Coal-shipment shortfall to reduce trains Jeff Nagel Black Press

Starting next year, one less coal train a day will roll through White Rock, South Surrey and Delta as a result of a U.S. coal company’s decision to suspend shipments through Westshore Terminals at Deltaport. Cloud Peak Energy exports four million tonnes a year through that coal port but cited “extremely depressed” international coal prices as it announced a three-year halt to shipments through B.C.

It will pay Westshore compensation for the cancelled volume. Westshore’s stock price fell 18 per cent Thursday after the announcement, which included a reduction in its dividend. Cloud Peak’s agreement with Westshore remains in place for 2019-2024. “We believe in the long-term opportunity for Asian exports of Powder River Basin coal as oversupplies of seaborne thermal coal are rationalized,” Cloud Peak CEO Colin Marshall said. Climate-change activist Kevin Washbrook

said the cancellation raises further doubt about the wisdom of Fraser Surrey Docks’ plan to press ahead with its own new coal terminal on the Fraser River. “There’s no future in exporting U.S. thermal coal, and the economics are catching up with that,” Washbrook said, noting China is serious about cutting its coal use, and the world remains awash in coal because of the trend of declining use. “All the boosters at the Surrey Board of Trade and the chambers of commerce have to rethink their support

for these kinds of projects, because they’re going to be white elephants.” Cloud Peak’s suspension cuts Westshore’s expected output next year to 26 million tonnes. Much of that is B.C. metallurgical coal rather than U.S. thermal coal that’s burned as fuel. U.S. thermal coal currently accounts for about two trains a day on the BNSF rail line. Fraser Surrey Docks’ $15-million terminal would add one train per day on the line if it is approved.

A fiery four-vehicle crash in the 4500-block of King George Boulevard Saturday spanned all four lanes of the thoroughfare but resulted in only minor injuries to eight people.

Surrey police kept busy during Halloween stretch

Fiery crash, injured trick-or-treater among 900 calls Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Two serious-injury pedestrian collisions and a fiery, multi-vehicle crash were among hundreds of calls that kept emergency crews in Surrey busy on Halloween. Police, fire and ambulance crews responded to the 4500-block of King George Boulevard around 5:30 p.m., after two north- and two southbound vehicles collided, with one catching on fire. According to police, the chain-

reaction crash began when a Jeep Cherokee turning north from 44 Avenue onto King George Boulevard collided with a northbound Ford Mustang. Impact flipped the Cherokee onto its side and caused the Mustang to go over the median into oncoming traffic, striking a Toyota Camry and Volkswagen Golf before catching on fire. Police said while all occupants of the vehicles – eight in all, ranging in age from two years to 73 years old – were taken to hospital, none

of the injuries were serious. Speed is being investigated as a possible factor in the crash. The first pedestrian incident occurred less than two hours later, around 7 p.m., when a toddler out trick-or-treating and his mother were struck by a truck in the 13200-block of 62 Avenue. Police believe the Dodge pickup driver had been negotiating a turn when the collision occurred. He saw the pair, but was unable to stop. It remains unclear whether the

mother and child were in a crosswalk, however, police have said that alcohol was not a factor and that the driver remained at the scene. The toddler suffered a broken leg; the mother was treated for lacerations. The second pedestrian collision happened in north Surrey around 9 p.m., on 144 Street near 83 Avenue. A 57-year-old man suffered critical injuries when he was struck by a northbound Toyota Yaris. That driver remained on scene and 144 Street was closed for sev-

The three incidents were the most serious of note for police in Surrey on Oct. 31, when emergency-dispatch staff handled approximately 900 reports over a 24-hour period. In White Rock, officers had far less to deal with on Halloween: seven noise complaints and a prank in which traffic cones were taken from a construction site and set up to block a road.

editorial

Post office must adapt

he news that Canada Post is halting installation of community mailboxes across the country will surely be greeted as good news by many. Opposed by both the union representing postal workers and residents who prize door-to-door delivery, the Crown corporation’s efforts to move towards community boxes were always going to be a tough sell. The conversion program was made more difficult by Canada Post themselves, who, in the face of evidence of widespread theft from the boxes, clamped down on information and went into a shell. While mail delivery is hardly the most important service provided by the federal government and the agencies and corporations under its control, the fact that both the Liberals and the NDP thought it politically advantageous to halt the installation of community mailboxes speaks to the failure of Canada Post to sell its initiative to the public it serves. As always, perceptions are often the key to winning or losing political battles. No matter the justification, the decision to change to community boxes appeared arbitrary and dictatorial. And it seemed to lack sensitivity toward those – many of them seniors – who still consider door-to-door delivery service a necessity, both from a practical and emotional standpoint. Such considerations must be part of the reckoning when dealing with the public, and when they aren’t, push-back is to be expected. Which is not to say that changes in mail service aren’t also in the cards. It’s hard to argue that mail delivery has not decreased in importance since the rise of the Internet. The amount of paper mail – as opposed to electronic mail and social media communication – has been shrinking for years and will only drop more in years to come. Furthermore, many people already receive mail in community boxes in townhouses and apartments. It’s hardly ridiculous for Canada Post, and the government that owns it, to consider ways to reduce costs – even if it means service will not be the same as 50 years ago, when postal delivery played a much larger role in Canadians’ day-to-day lives. The incoming Liberal government will be expected to keep its promise to protect home delivery. But that shouldn’t entail a blank cheque for a service in need of modernization.

Should the Opposition be able to secondguess decisions of bureaucrats by going through their emails? The traditional answer is no. Elected officials are responsible, even if they had no actual role, as should always be the case in hiring and firing ministry staff and awarding government work contracts. The buck stops with Lake and Clark, not their deputies. There are sound reasons for this. Consider another sensitive decision, to shoot wolves from the air in a last-ditch effort to preserve dwindling mountain caribou herds. Protesters, pop stars and politicians can sound off as they like, but these hard decisions are made and carried out by wildlife experts working for or consulted by the province. The minister, in this case Forests Minister Steve Thomson, authorizes the use of helicopters and rifles and takes the political consequences. One can imagine the agonizing discussion that goes on behind the scenes, as provincial and First Nations wildlife experts watch caribou herds dwindle despite widespread habitat protection efforts. They not only make the technical call, they have to pull the trigger. Would wildlife biologists be able to provide frank advice for or against this decision if they knew their names and opinions could later be used in a political battle in the legislature and in the streets? No. And can you run a public service if everyone is subjected to the scrutiny that only politicians choose to endure? No. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Two sides of Expectations train relocation of a bumpy ride Editor: Re: Rail route, Oct. 28 letters. People in the Communities of White Rock and South Surrey carry a “big stick” when it comes to rail safety and relocation. While it’s true that the Transportation Authority has no legal authority to order a railway to move its operations, there can be new legislation to regulate what is allowed to be transported via rail. Our local MPs, along with Premier Christy Clark can, on our behalf, push the need to regulate shipment of highly dangerous, toxic goods travelling in densely populated locations and environmentally sensitive areas. The federal government can create regulations to specify what can safely be transported in our beautiful beach front and popular tourist destination. BNSF would likely welcome the relocation of the trains if such legislation controlled their movement of goods on the waterfront. Unfortunately it all comes down to money, and that’s why it’s up to each voting citizen to contact their MPs and push for new legislation for our safety and environment. These rails were not built for today’s long, heavy trains that carry highly dangerous goods. Most have no idea what is being moved on the rails every day, but to say it’s a disaster in the making is an understatement. The cost, both human and environment, is not worth the risk so let’s be proactive and speak up for what we value as priceless! C. Kendrick, White Rock Q Reading the Oct. 28 edition of the Peace Arch News has caused me to do something I have never done before – write a letter to the editor. That edition contained not just one but two fabulous letters, one by James Milne of White Rock and the other by Stephen Morris of Surrey. I will cut them out and frame them! How refreshing it is to read well-researched letters speaking common sense. I never miss reading the letters-tothe-editor section of the paper, but I do so generally for tragically comic relief. Mostly, they serve to prove how small and uninformed minds have been so easily distracted by the two municipalities’ narrow-minded, self-serving and shortsighted politicians. Both city councils blether on about pie-in-the-sky ideas rather than focusing on issues of real substance. Meanwhile these bodies, which are supposed to have the interests of the citizens who elected them at the forefront, treat issues like official community plans as if they were inconvenient obstacles on the road to what the politicians consider progress. Citizens are further insulted by the fact this action usually takes place in meetings that are closed to public scrutiny. Please re-run these letters every couple of months – they are real gems. Well done both gentlemen! Bill Holmes, White Rock

Editor: I tried to be a grown up. Really. With a loving, co-operative heart, I sat at my computer to complete the transit survey (www.translink.ca/tnc) like the good citizen I am. I started out OK. Nothing alarming. Well, except for that momentary lack of oxygen upon reading “…end the 351 at White Rock Centre.”

I live at the Kiwanis seniors complex near Crescent Beach. The 351 is our only night service. Keep calm, I said, when the room came into focus. Surely, they wouldn’t leave us stranded. There must be an alternative. There was. The “M” shuttle will go to Crescent Beach. Whew. I could breathe again. Until I remembered that shuttles stop at 7 p.m. No word if the hours will be extended. My eye started to twitch. Then I noticed the bus stop at our building on 26 Avenue, up the hill from 128 Street, has disappeared on the new maps. I had to shut down

my computer the nausea was so bad. Back and forth on the phone to TransLink. Everybody here freaking out. People with mobility issues who can’t walk uphill. Unprintable maps, so I can’t show the proposed changes to all the panicky, confused people. A nagging headache starting. TransLink’s apology a few days later didn’t help much. They made a mistake. The bus stop remains. Except now we have to go to Crescent Beach before White Rock, maybe sit awhile to keep on schedule or wait for trains to rumble past and, of course, transfer to another bus to get to the rec centre, or the hospital, or Bridgeport Station. And walkers, strollers, wheelchairs and shopping carts facing limited shuttle space. Forget the whole grown-up thing! I want to have an ear-splitting tantrum, like any sensible two-yearold. The mere mention of the word “transit” makes my head explode! When they wanted money from us, they ran a full-frontal assault. Now, in the leaf-turning spirit of a good loser, they have generously invited our input before vomiting up a slew of changes to the system. Except this time we didn’t have months. We had 21 days to untangle the vague, perplexing information. Not a feat for the fainthearted. I need to lie down. Maureen Kerr, Surrey

Maureen MacDonald likens her barn owls to canaries in a coal mine.

Fast-track to oblivion Editor: Many residents – like my barn owls – are blissfully unaware that Surrey city council aims to convert nearly 600 acres of watershed that sustains the Hazelmere-Campbell Valley region (Ecological area eyed for development, Sept. 16). The entire bundle for rezoning, from general agricultural to light industry, takes in an area almost as big as Stanley Park. The first whack is 97 acres slated to be a mega truck park with all the amenities, restaurants to mechanical repairs (Paving way for parking, Sept. 18). These many acres on the block are supposed to be protected land. Council’s actions fly in the face of its own Sustainability Charter that boasts “good stewardship of the land, water, air and built environment... for future generations.” Unbelievable? Well, read on. The forested ecosystems tagged rezoning are identified as “at risk” both by the Metro Vancouver Regional Growth Strategy and Surrey’s Official Community Plan. Well, tell that to our endangered barn owls. Funny enough, they nest in my barn. They’re part of a study to track changes in the environment. They’re getting smaller. They have fewer chicks. Their blood, according to field research studies, contains poisons.

Like canaries in a coal mine, they indicate an unhealthy decline. I fear for our water. Only metres beneath our feet, the Brookswood aquifer is nearing capacity. The water table, reports warn, are shrinking with climate change, creating havoc for wildlife, farms and homes. Council knows of the danger. After a summer drought that left my well dry, killed trees and caused others to snap power lines, I was horrified to learn of the city’s motion in Peace Arch News. What alarms me is snatching farmland, cutting one of the largest canopies of mature cedars and firs and paving over part of the Little Campbell River with its abundant spawning yields. The city identifies the forests to be cut as vital green networks, or hubs and corridors needed to sustain the biodiversity health within the city. The treed watershed purifies, regulates and protects groundwater. It shields rich wetlands and stabilizes soil. Without the canopy, runoff from industrial pollution will enter the Brookswood aquifer. It’s much more than owls and wildlife habitat that is being fast-tracked into oblivion. It’s the destruction of the aquatic ecosystems. Before irreversible damage hits, have your voice heard. Maureen MacDonald, Surrey

Editor: Quick! If you haven’t walked among the large trees in South Surrey lately, you better hurry up because they’re disappearing fast! My father grew up playing amongst the massive trees in Ocean Park. His father and grandfather lived there too, which makes me a fourthgeneration Ocean Parker. So I have a pretty good idea about how our oasis has changed over the past 50 years. When I watch the changes happening here, I try to keep an open mind, and I chide myself for being too “nostalgic”– it’s progress, and there’s not much I can do to stop it. But today was different. Today, I hit the end of my rope when I witnessed the raw, heartbreaking aftermath of the removal of most of the huge trees on a lot south of Ocean Park Community Hall. This goes beyond progress. It goes against our very core beliefs and values. Trees are an integral part of who we are on the West Coast – the reason most people are drawn here in the first place. So why on earth are we letting people destroy them? I totally understand that property owners have the right to build on their lots. I’m just saying that the City of Surrey needs to give its head a good shake. You cannot tell me every single tree on a lot will impede the construction of new homes. And it isn’t good enough to tell me that new trees will be planted, because that’s just not going to fly. Perhaps the people we elect need to take a stand to preserve as much of our beautiful environment as possible. It’s not too late! Jennifer Findlay, Surrey

Fraud case The trial of a Surrey woman facing charges in connection with the alleged defrauding of a White Rock company has once again been postponed. Proceedings against Karen Ann Chura are now set for five days next spring – April 25-28 and May 2 – following an appearance in Surrey Provincial Court Oct. 20. Chura was arrested in February 2013. At that time, police alleged a 53-year-old Clayton resident wrote cheques to herself from a company account, but with no associated invoices. Charges of fraud, forgery and using forged cheques were announced. In the years since, trial dates have been set at least three times. According to Crown, the delays were due to various applications by the defense. “Specifically, on Oct. 1, Ms. Chura changed her defense counsel, and new counsel was unavailable for the dates in November,” prosecutor Richard Li explained by email, noting that Crown had opposed the application.

South Surrey would get additional MLA under proposed plan

More ridings recommended Kevin Diakiw & Tom Fletcher Black Press

Surrey will get more provincial representation next election, as Victoria introduced a bill last Thursday redrawing the electoral map. Bill 42, the Electoral Districts Act, is being brought to a vote in order to adopt the recommendations of the Electoral Boundaries Commission (EBC). The recommendations maintain the number of ridings in rural B.C., but increase by two the number in the Lower Mainland. One of those ridings is in Surrey, and the other is Richmond/New Westminster. The new boundaries in Surrey essentially push the riding of Surrey-Cloverdale northward and shave off the Crescent Beach/ Serpentine flood plain portion of Surrey-Panorama, allowing for the creation of a new riding of Surrey South just north of Surrey-White Rock. It will bring the number of MLAs in Surrey to nine, and the number of representatives in the legislature from 85 to 87. The commission recommended changes to boundaries to 48 existing constituencies, after public hearings, since it proposed the changes this spring to balance population. It was restricted by a

Proposed new electoral boundaries for the Peninsula. law that prevents the elimination of electoral districts in areas outside the urban southwest. In addition to the changes to Surrey, the hearings were dominated by conflicting views on changes to three other areas: • Severing Hope from Chilliwack and adding it to the Fraser-Nicola constituency, which extends into the Interior to include Merritt. Princeton is added to the Boundary-Similkameen district. • Rearranging boundaries in central Vancouver Island to create a new electoral district of Mid Island-Pacific Rim, anchored by Cumberland. • Adding a new Richmond-

Queensborough district, taking in part of New Westminster. The latest boundaries leave a wide range of populations to be represented by a single MLA. The lowest populations are Stikine with 20,616 and North Coast with 22,382. At the other end of the scale are Vernon-Monashee, VancouverFraserview and VancouverKingsway, all with more than 62,000 people. The last review in 2008 recommended that an urban population shift should result in a reduction of one seat in the Cariboo-Thompson region and one in northern B.C. The government intervened to keep those seats and increase the total constituencies to 85 from 83. The BC Liberals and NDP agreed then that northern constituencies could not get any larger and still be represented by a single MLA. The 2008 review added seats in the Okanagan, Fraser Valley, Surrey, Burnaby-Tri-Cities and downtown Vancouver. The Electoral Boundaries Commission Act requires that an independent three-member commission be appointed within one year after every second provincial general election.

Less-urgent cases requiring scans now take more than a year for appointment

Patients face long wait in pain for MRI Kevin Diakiw & Jeff Nagel

Black Press

riving on the road to Bamfield, B.C. two years ago, Peter McQuade’s truck veered off of a bridge and rolled down an embankment. The Surrey resident was cut and banged up a little, but he didn’t sustain serious injuries. However, he soon began suffering searing pain in his left shoulder, possibly the result of a torn rotator cuff. “I’ve been in pain since about April of this year,” McQuade said, adding he was sent for X-rays and ultrasounds, both of which showed nothing. He’s been to chiropractors and massage therapists, and has been on four different anti-inflammatory medicines. The pain has abated somewhat, but when McQuade goes to bed, it becomes unbearable. “Since May, I’ll bet you I haven’t slept 12 (full) nights,” McQuade told Black Press. “I’m actually taking sleeping pills now to try and help me, and they don’t help. I still wake up with the pain.” McQuade’s doctor says effective treatment needs a proper diagnosis, which means an MRI.

B.C. government photo

Steven Purewal (left) presents a 1874 Red Ensign flag to Premier Christy Clark, with members of Surreybased 3300 B.C. Regiment (Bhai Kanhaiya) Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps at a ceremony last week.

Military contributions celebrated at B.C. legislature

South Asian efforts marked An 1874 version of the Red Ensign flag has been presented to the B.C. government to commemorate the contribution of Indian Army soldiers to allied forces in the First World War and their settlement in the province. Steven Purewal, founder of Indus Media Foundation Canada, presented the flag to Premier Christy Clark Oct. 28 as a symbol of their contribution. Here are excerpts from Purewal’s speech: “In 1849, Vancouver Island and the Punjab both became realms of the Crown. For the Punjab, the Victorian era opened up many opportunities within the vast military administration of the empire. And by the turn of the 19th Century, Punjabis had won many accolades as outstanding soldiers of the Queen in the various campaigns throughout Asia and Africa. “As we know, in the summer of 1914, the ship Komagata Maru arrived in Vancouver to a less than welcoming environment. It was a sad episode in our community’s history. “But there is another story, an epilogue if you will, to the Komagata Maru story. And that is that another ship was asked to sail at the very same time the Komagata Maru was leaving from India, that was asked to

sail to France. “That ship contained the kith and kin of the people aboard the Komagata Maru. Their story is the story of the men that stood with Canada during its baptism of fire in World War I. “The heroic story of the Canadians in Flanders Fields is told in our classrooms. But what’s not told is that the Punjabis were standing united with Canada. They were there as brothers in

arms and friends in need. They stood true despite the events of Vancouver. “On the centennial of World War I, our children should learn that the Indian Army won 9,000 gallantry awards, that the Indian Army fielded more men in World War I than all the other colonies put together, including Canada and Australia, that they were critical to the allied victory.” – Tom Fletcher

Golden Cactus Studio

will present its Remembrance concert, For Peace, at Good Shepherd Church (2250 150 St.), this Sunday (Nov. 8) at 3 p.m. A revisiting of a successful Remembrance concert from 2013, it includes a moving slide presentation encompassing both grief and spiritual uplift. The program includes 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. Among featured pieces will be Lawrence Binyon and Douglas Guest’s For The Fallen; We Rise Again by Canadian poet and songwriter Leon Dubinsky; In Remembrance by Jeffrey L. Ames and contemporary English composer Karl Jenkins’ evocative Mass For Peace and Requiem. Tickets are available at the church office, or at the door.

Want an ‘up close’ insight into the world of visual arts, as a viewer, a practitioner, or as a potential buyer? Marilyn Hurst and Chris MacClure have started an open studio night at their Golden Cactus Studio at Hillcrest Mall in uptown White Rock (1455 Johnston Rd.). Running each Thursday from 6 to 9 p.m., the drop-in evening will feature different artists each week who will chat with visitors and provide demonstrations. For more information on upcoming guest artists, call 604-839-3049 or visit Golden Cactus Studio online on Facebook.

White Rock Chamber Music’s next concert takes place this Saturday (Nov. 7) at 7:30 p.m. at Crescent Gardens Retirement Residence, 1222 King George Blvd. (beside the Best Western Hotel). Featured performers will be Rosie Lin (piano), Sunny Chen (violin), Annie Yeh (piano), Richard Tickelman (vocal and guitar), and concert pianist/composer Kirill Bolshakov, a former White Rock resident now living in Agassiz. Russian-born Bolshakov began his music studies at the Tchaikovsky Moscow Conservatory at nine, and continued there until adulthood, when he was assigned to the faculty staff of the institute. For several years he performed in cities across the former U.S.S.R., before moving to Hungary where he worked at the Liszt Academy in Budapest and Gyor, training students in choral music and piano. He came to Canada in 1991, and has since performed both here and in the U.S. His many musical activities include artist management, as well as founding the Studio Cadenza, specializing in training dedicated young talents into award-winning concert performers. Admission is $5, with proceeds going to the Peninsula Arts Foundation for scholarships for young artists.

Trevor Cox is moving a little closer to home. Last Wednesday, the 20-year-old South Surrey hockey player was dealt from the Western Hockey League’s Medicine Hat Tigers to his hometown Vancouver Giants, in a deal that saw 19-yearold defenceman Clayton Kirichenko and a draft pick head to Alberta. “At first, I was a little

surprised and a little upset about leaving Medicine Hat,” said Cox, who had played four full seasons with the Tigers prior to this season. “But at the same time, I was excited about coming to my hometown, and playing in front of family and friends every night. I’ve been getting more excited each day since the trade.” Cox is among the WHL’s most talented

Who Beneﬁts from Permanent Makeup? • Men as well as women • Busy people with little time to apply makeup • People with allergies to conventional makeup • Anyone who desires freedom from daily makeup application • Those who are physically incapable of applying makeup • Those who are active in sports • Those with oily skin who tend to shed makeup easily • Burn survivors and people with ﬂaws in their skin • Those suffering from alopecia and vitiligo • Men and women who seek correction of asymmetrical facial features • Entertainers, actresses, and models – such as Elizabeth Taylor, Dolly Parton, Raquel Welch, Cher, and others • Men and women who wish to look their best all of the time!

Lipliner A natural appearing permanent cosmetic lipliner can be applied to give more deﬁnition, correct uneven lips, which will result in a fuller appearance. The procedure also helps prevent lipstick from bleeding and can minimize the appearance of wrinkles..

snipers – last season, he finished second in the league in scoring, with 29 goals and 109 points. “We’re thrilled to add an elite level offensive player like Trevor to

our lineup,” Giants general manager Scott Bonner said in a release. This season, Cox has eight points in six games. He is currently out

of the lineup due to injury, but is expected back on the ice in about two weeks. Cox is an alum of Semiahmoo Minor Hockey Association. Last season, in the midst of the WHL scoring race – which he led for most of the year – Cox told Black Press that while individual points were nice, it was playoff success he is ultimately chases. “Everyone wants to win the Memorial Cup,” he said. Now with the Giants, he’ll be counted on to get his new team into the playoffs – the team has missed the postseason two of the last three seasons. Vancouver currently sits ninth in the WHL’s Western Conference. – with files from Rick Kupchuk

Eyebrows The Intradermal Pigmentation procedure for eyebrows can mimic the appearance of hair in the brow line. Anyone who desires more fullness of the brows will love the procedure (and the time saved not applying makeup!) Those who used to apply pencil can go swimming, play tennis, or wipe their forehead without the embarrassment of losing their eyebrows. Those suffering from alopecia (hair loss) are pleasantly surprised at how natural it looks. Call now for your free consultation, you will be glad you did!

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of “Wee Primrose”. Primrose passed away in the comfort of her own home, surrounded by family. She leaves behind her husband of 61 years, Francis John Whiteside, sons Frank and David (Sherrie), daughter Janet Elaine (Francis) and cherished grandchildren, Strauss and Alexandra. Primrose was born in Motherwell, Scotland and immigrated to Canada with her young family in the late 1960’s. The family settled in Ladner, a wonderful community on the Fraser River and a joyous place for the children to grow up. Primrose and Francis worked together at BC Tel for more than 25 years. Both were long time members of the BC Tel choir and were active in other choirs before and since. Upon their retirement, the couple moved to White Rock and were blessed with two grandchildren shortly thereafter. The family would like to thank palliative care nurses Angela and Kelly and the tremendously dedicated staff from Bayshore Home Health for being such a big part in assisting Francis with Primrose’s care and comfort at home over the past three years. In so many ways, you had become like family. A celebration of Primrose’s life will be held on Saturday, November 7th at 11:00 a.m. at Crescent United Church, 2756 - 127th Street, South Surrey B.C.
