Residents urged to open their homes, as Metro Vancouver expects up to 3,000 Syrians
Surrey braces for share of refugees Jeff Nagel Black Press
Up to 3,000 Syrian refugees are predicted to come to Metro Vancouver as a result of the new federal government’s push to bring 25,000 to Canada by the end of the year. And residents across the region are being urged to volunteer, donate and even open their homes to assist the incoming refugees once they arrive.
At least 10 per cent of Syrian refugees coming to Canada so far have come to B.C., and of those, the vast majority settle in Surrey, followed by surrounding cities such as Burnaby, New Westminster, Delta, Coquitlam and Richmond. All of the 43 government-assisted Syrian refugees fleeing their war-torn country who have arrived in B.C. this year have settled in those communities, and 26 are in Surrey.
“Surrey is expected to continue being the number one destination,” said Chris Friesen, executive director of the Immigrant Services Society of B.C. He estimates Surrey alone could welcome 800 Syrian refugees and roughly 300 of them could be school age – 40 per cent are expected to be under 19 years old – triggering a scramble for classroom space. Friesen said a website is being launched
at issbc.org/refugee-crisis where Metro residents can find forms to volunteer and suggest accommodation options and other assistance. “For those who are interested in private sponsorship we have a fund in place so people can make a donation towards a sponsorship if they don’t want to take the whole thing on.” i see page 4

Utility-takeover costs still not made public
White Rock water budget to rise by $1m Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
With still no word to residents on how much the City of White Rock agreed to spend to buy its water utility last month, council has given preliminary approval to a $1-million boost to its 2015 water utility capital budget. The move, which received first, second and third reading Monday, increases the budget to $15,284,000, and is “to ensure that the city has adequate expenditure authority to pay for

capital projects related to the water utility to the end of this year,” Sandra Kurylo, the city’s director of financial services, told council. Expenses cited in Kurylo’s report include an acquisition advance payment, upgrades to the Tempest system for billing purposes and the purchase of vehicles for the utility’s operation. The change will not increase water rates, Mayor Wayne Baldwin told Peace Arch News. “We’re actually going to be lowering the rates,” Baldwin said Tuesday.

The amendment also enables expenditures related to replacement of the Merklin Street water reservoir. Council also approved the award of that $3.8-million contract Monday.

A Roman Catholic retreat centre that has been quietly operating in South Surrey for nearly 40 years is closing its doors. Officials with the Archdiocese of Vancouver confirmed Thursday that the Rosemary Heights Retreat Centre, at 3690 152 St., will cease operations at the end of December. “It’s been brutal,” communications director Paul Schratz said, of coming to the conclusion, which was shared with the centre’s 26 staff members early last week. “It was a very difficult decision to make.” What this means for the site moving forward – it is located on a prime piece of real estate overlooking the Nicomekl River – remains to be seen. While one employee who contacted Peace Arch News expressed concern it could be sold and developed, Schratz said no decisions on its future have been made. A statement issued last week says only that the Archdiocese “hopes to realize the best value possible for the Rosemary Heights property.” i see page 2

i from page 1 “It remains committed to providing a retreat centre and is looking at affordable alternatives. An announcement will be made as soon as any development is finalized.” The site has been operating as a retreat since 1976, but Schratz said its roots date back to the 1960s, when the Sisters of Our Lady of Charity of the Good Shepherd built a facility for girls and women with personal and behavioural problems. Cottages and a school for girls came next, followed by a name change to Rosemary Heights in 1972, and the opening of one of the cottages for boys a year later. After funding and staffing changes resulted in that program closing in 1976, the Good Shepherd Sisters were asked to open the doors as a retreat centre serving the Archdiocese of Vancouver. Schratz said that continued for nearly 20 years, with the Sisters hosting groups for prayer and hospitality, as well as individuals, especially woman seeking a short-term place of respite and healing during crisis.

In 1992, the centre was handed over to the Archdiocese, which has owned and operated it since then. Schratz said the Archdiocese has been trying “for some time” to keep the centre operating, but declining interest in retreats has made the task financially “impossible.” “We’ve tried everything we could think of to try to increase attendance,” he said. While the hope is to continue offering retreats, how to do that has not yet been determined, he said. “For now, we’re going to end things,” Schratz said. While retreat centre staff did not want to speak publicly, the employee who contacted PAN said its closure is “really sad,” and will be a loss. “It is a place of people coming and looking for being with Christ and in a peaceful environment,” the employee said. “I just love the place. Everything they do, they do with love for the people.” The staffer said word of the pending closure took everyone by surprise. “When I heard it, I cried.”

Regulatory hurdles cited by neighbouring council after meeting with Surrey counterparts
Langley leaders doubt truck park’s a go Dan Ferguson Black Press
The odds are against a controversial proposal to build a 77-acre truck park on 16 Avenue at the Surrey-Langley border, based on what members of Surrey council have told their Langley Township counterparts. “It  may not even get to council,� Langley Mayor Jack Froese said following a dinner meeting of the two councils in late October. Froese said there was “quite an active discussion� at the informal session with Surrey council about the notion of a heavy truck facility in the area south of 16 Avenue near 192 Street. He said he was told the truck park proposal might not even make it to Surrey council because of the various regulatory hurdles it would have to clear.
“They (project proponents) have a long road to go,� Froese said.  Langley Coun. Bob Long said Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner promised as a “good neighbour� to keep the Township updated. Proposal opponents have warned the truck park could damage the nearby Little Campbell River, a salmon and trout spawning area. Brian Coote, of Friends of Hazelmere Campbell Valley told an Oct. 19 meeting of Township council that the facility could contaminate Brookswood groundwater. Another critic, Sofi Hindmarch, noted that the proposed site is in an ecologically sensitive area where as many as 22 threatened species live. Langley Coun. Kim Richter proposed a vote to condemn the project, but agreed last week to a postponement in light of the discussion

Because it’s a relatively small river, any pollutants could be devastating, he said. “How do they keep the effluent, all the chemicals, all the brake fluids, the antifreeze — how to they keep all of the oils out of the river?� Gill said he would insist on the highest environmental standards so there would be no impact on the river. And proponent Parm Garcha told Peace Arch News last week the truck park wouldn’t proceed unless all concerns are addressed. The development plan would have to undergo a public hearing before it could come to Surrey council for approval.

Churches combine efforts Alex Browne Staff Reporter
Some of the first of a new wave of up to 3,000 Syrian refugees predicted to arrive in B.C. before the end of the year are expected to settle in the South SurreyWhite Rock area. While specifics remain sketchy, Peter Jones, chair of the council at Crescent United Church said the church has received interim approval to sponsor a family of six refugees from Syria. Jones underlined that settling refugees is among projects Crescent United is doing together with Sunnyside United Church and First United Church in developing a “shared ministry and voice for the future.” He also noted that the sponsorship is being done in co-ordination with the White Rock Muslim Association as part of an ongoing initiative – which started earlier this year – to bring the two faith groups closer together in understanding and co-operation. The Rotary Club of White Rock has also contributed $1,500 to fundraising for the sponsorship. Jones said, however, it would be “premature” to release too many details of the sponsorship before the Ministry of Immigration makes its final assessments –

family, even if the application goes through without a hitch. Asad Sayed, president of the White Rock Muslim Association, said that, in addition to the current application, the association is working independently to sponsor another family from Syria. “We are very close to that,” he said. “Once all the funds are in place we will apply for sponsorship – maybe within a month or a month and a half.” Sayed encouraged residents who want to know more to visit the association’s website, www. whiterockmuslims.com For information on Crescent United refugee sponsorship, visit www.crescentunitedchurch.com
Aid sought for ‘victims of tragedy’ i from page 4 A regional emergency-planning meeting is set for next Monday to co-ordinate the response. Representatives of municipalities, school boards, health authorities and the Red Cross are to attend. “We’re trying to be proactive as a region,” said Surrey Coun. Judy Villeneuve, adding refugees will also need help with health, professional services and clothing. “That way we can be ahead of the game as a large number of refugees arrive.” What’s not yet known is how many incoming Syrians will be housed initially on military bases and how many will need immediate housing, Friesen said. They’re looking mainly for hotels and motels on transit routes, with kitchenettes for short-term stays. “For longer-term housing, we’re looking for everything – basement suites, rooms in people’s houses, cottages not being used, houses or apartments that are vacant.” Emergency-housing protocols

City manager Dan Bottrill said last week that “confidentiality provisions” prevented release of the information, but that it would be disclosed “as soon as we’re able to.”
Baldwin told PAN that Epcor on Monday provided some information regarding what can be released, however, he deferred to Bottrill to share specifics. Bottrill was not available to comment by PAN press deadline Tuesday. In council, Kurylo noted the public will have an opportunity to comment on the financial-plan amendment prior to approval.

The government has been under fire after information requests failed to turn up any preliminary rationale to justify Premier Christy Clark’s announcements in 2012 and 2013 that the George Massey Tunnel under Deas Island on Highway 99 would be replaced with a new bridge. “It always starts with a statement of political intent,â€? Stone said, referring to the premier’s announcement. “You then engage the public and the stakeholders extensively, refine the scope. Then build your business case‌ You release all that and you then get on with building the project.â€? Independent MLA Vicki Huntington argued it defies logic that the government could embark on a $3-billion project without any supporting reports or analysis. Asked if that type of material exists, Stone said there would be cabinet advice documents. Stone said hundreds of pages of documents have been posted to the project website as part of two rounds of consultation on whether a replacement was needed.

Honour our heroes
W
ith Halloween behind us, stores and homeowners are already preparing for the Christmas season. Displays are creeping into the shopping malls, decorations and holiday lights are adorning houses, and gift wish lists are being created. But between the sugar rush of Halloween and the consumer crush of Christmas lies a date that can often be lost in all the holiday hype – Remembrance Day is upon us. Today, on Wednesday, Nov. 11, ceremonies will be held, wreaths will be placed and veterans will don their uniforms in respect for the sacrifices made by the men and women who have defended democracy over the decades. Many are still risking their lives to preserve our rights and keep us safe. Too many have paid the ultimate price. Memorial ceremonies are taking place not only in Surrey and White Rock, but throughout the Commonwealth. One hour out of one day hardly seems like an onerous task for the public in order to say thank you and to remember. But is the true significance of Remembrance Day becoming lost on a new generation of Canadians? The First World War has already slipped from memory to history for most, and in a few years, as veterans continue to age and pass on, the same will occur with the Second World War. Do youth truly understand the sacrifices made by their grandparents and great-grandparents? Do they understand the sacrifices still being made today in the modern theatres of war? One local teen – 17-year-old Carson Jones – surely does. As one of a group of Canadian students selected by the Vimy Foundation to tour historical war sites in France, Belgium and England this summer, Jones came away with a powerful impression of the cost of conflict. Jones learned that nearly 100 years ago, on the first day of the Battle of The Somme in France during the First World War, 800 men set out to fight. Only 68 answered roll call the next day. Her great-grandfather survived that slaughter, and others, but thousands of others did not. “It is unimaginable for me to think about losing my entire graduating class to war,” the Delview Secondary student said. In this modern age, joining the Armed Forces may not have the same emotional impact on those left behind as it once did. After all, many youth understand war through the eyes of a video console, where realistic games allow them to be “heroes” on the TV screen. Let’s remember the real heroes.

The real story is a bit more complicated. In March, I reported that the BC Liberal government finally made good on a decade-old promise to turn over all revenue from freshwater fishing licence sales to the society. Its revenue went from $7 million to $10 million once the government finally ended the practice of skimming some off for the general treasury. Energy Minister Bill Bennett recalled that the society was established during the first years of Gordon Campbell’s government, a period of what Bennett called “religious zeal” for privatization. The society spends most of its budget restocking lakes with trout and promoting responsible angling, but its new 30-year service contract also calls on it to contribute to enforcement. This is the first year that has happened, and Polak said the extra fishing violation tickets indicate it is working. The CO service also works on cases such as the Mount Polley mine breach. It has a commercial environmental enforcement unit, a special investigations unit to deal with smuggling and organized crime, and an intelligence analyst. In short, they’re real cops, working with a group of about 150 compliance officers at the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. They don’t get much respect from an urban public informed by celebrity wildlife protesters such as Pamela Anderson, Miley Cyrus and Ricky Gervais.

Editor: Re: Expectations of a bumpy ride, Nov. 4 letters. Just last Thursday I became aware of the proposed changes to TransLink bus routes in White Rock and South Surrey. I called the TransLink number and was advised they were cutting off opinions/suggestions on the changes at 4 p.m. the next day. I am resident on Cranley Drive in the middle of at least six modularhome parks populated by a large number of residents ranging in age from mid-50s to early-90. Many rely on the bus on Cranley Drive, and removing it will not only be an inconvenience to these folks but it is clear there was no consideration to those who will have difficulty walking the extra distance required. TransLink is not considering the safety of these users, given that winter is now upon us with damp and slippery sidewalks. These people will be hard-pressed to adapt. A fall in advanced years is a very painful and serious matter requiring many weeks or months of recovery, and if the person has osteoporosis, it is life-threatening. I agree, Translink needs to increase ridership, but at what price? I was advised these changes have been advertised in the paper and posted on notice boards for all to see, and also there is the Internet to become better acquainted with the proposal. I know at least 20 folks in my complex – there may be more – who do not have email, which limits their chance of reading about or investigating what’s coming. Instead of taking away the service, TransLink has the brains – I hope – to actually rework this to accommodate what is already here. Instead of causing inconvenience, they might use imagination and enable neglected seniors to go places they never thought of going before. Use creative marketing and partner with businesses to set up seniors visits – do what is right for once. Reg Sutton, Surrey Q Re: Speak up, bus riders, Oct. 30 letters. I use the C53 bus consistently. Trying to do my duty and phone TransLink, I waited for somebody to answer the phone. The recording must have repeated the Internet address at least five times. These non-existent people must realize that not everybody is connected to the Internet, by choice. The C53 was every half hour and was increased to one hour, if they turn up at all, which happens quite often, and I have to get to a phone for a taxi to get home. I would suggest the people who set the bus timetables be sent to London to find out how they could run the bus timetables successfully. Once again they are looking to change the timetables and the numbers of the buses to confuse us. Please, Peace Arch News, let them know that everybody thinks they are idiots. Thank you.

Readers express a range of views over efforts to relocate the Semiahmoo Peninsula’s waterfront train tracks inland.
Calculating the true costs of rail Editor: Re: Skepticism over rail relocation, Oct. 30 letters. I wholeheartedly agree with letter-writer Ken Harrap and other previous information indicating the cost would be in the hundreds of millions of dollars to move the tracks away from White Rock and Crescent Beach. BNSF has just invested several million rebuilding nearby bridges and re-tracking the area, so they will certainly not be shelling out any more money for such a move. The citizens of White Rock and Surrey are already complaining about their taxes, so I can’t realistically see them voting for a massive tax increase. Thus the funds would need to come from the provincial and federal governments. With so many other far more important issues requiring many millions, if not billions, of dollars – such as our education system, health care, deteriorating infrastructure, needed transportation improvements, global warming and carbon emissions, etc. – this issue is clearly a non-starter in my mind. In addition, any agreement to fund moving the rail line by the federal government would be an admission that current rail safety standards in Canada, which they created, are not adequate. How many hundreds of other communities would follow suit with similar requests? Lastly, don’t be fooled by the interest and support expressed by our local politicians, as that was strictly an opportunity to gain votes. Any further studies on this matter, particularly one that costs $700,000, would be a complete waste of our tax dollars. Tim Roark, Surrey Q The letter by Ken Harrap twigged some thoughts. Back in around 2003, Surrey identified a route inland. The problem is saving that corridor from development. It doesn’t matter how long the railway has been in place, as nothing is written in stone. If we thought around those lines, we should give it all back to the natives. Can you imagine how much it would cost to build a seawall along the tracks from White Rock, with all the equipment and time needed, plus the trains constantly going by at the same time? If the wall was ever built to allow emergency vehicles, it would take them forever to get to Crescent Beach when needed quickly, especially getting the folks already on that walkway to get out of the way. Where would they jump to? To finish, there are many thousands of people who come to our beaches, not only from the Lower Mainland but from all over the world. These folks are just as much to be effected by the trains, possibly leaving them with negative attitudes by the constant very loud noise by monsters charging past on a regular basis. Brian Lauder, Surrey
Sound government Re: Council sounds off, Nov. 4. Really! You mention skateboards, motorcycles, construction and lawn mowers, but no mention of trains that wake us up at 6 a.m.? Perhaps White Rock council should put their efforts into solving that problem – one that does have a solution and does not require relocating the tracks. Relocation is, I suggest, foolhardy, as it should be preserved as a future transportation corridor when passenger trains will once again travel through White Rock on their way to the U.S. So, yes, relocate the toxin-carrying trains but not the tracks. Now, about those train noises. Put up the required barriers/signals that Transport Canada has told you to do, and we can all enjoy peace and quiet in paradise. It’s not rocket science. And with all the extra tax revenue you are creating permitting highrises everywhere, it is affordable. We might lose our ocean view, but at least not our sleep. Simon Bergen-Henengouwen, White Rock
Environment threat The recently elected Liberal government pledged to increase Canada’s coastal marine protected areas from 1.3 per cent to five per cent by 2017 and 10 per cent by 2020. Wouldn’t it be a feather in the Liberals’ cap if some of this marine-protected area is here in our own backyard? Boundary Bay, along with the Serpentine estuary, are part of a complex West Coast ecosystem of international importance. Identified as World Heritage site number 243 by the Ramsar convention, the area provides feeding and roosting sites to about 250,000 migrating and wintering waterfowl and one million shorebirds. Also, provincially and federally listed fish species of concern can be found within the estuarine habitats. On the business side of things, this tidal basin provides for a vital local recreational, commercial and native crabbing industry. This is all threatened because the main artery between Canada and the U.S. for moving goods – including dangerous goods, such as chlorine and ammonia – is a single rail track which winds its way along the edge of this environmentally sensitive area. Let’s not wait until it is too late and the damage is done. Let’s ensure the protection of this pristine area by relocating the track to a more suitable, inland route as soon as possible.

Expecting parents may not want to think about a will when their child has yet to be born, but a will is an important document that can be used to designate who will act as a child's guardian should his or her parents die before the child is legally recognized as an adult. In addition, a will can also be used to designate a trustee of your estate who will manage any assets left behind to your children until they reach adulthood. Laws regarding assets left behind by a person who died without a will vary depending on where a person lived, but many such laws are inÁexible and the government may even charge the estate to manage assets until children reach adulthood and are therefore legally recognized as able to manage the assets on their own. Parents who leave no will behind may also have no say in who raises their children, which can be difÀcult on the kids and troublesome for family members left to Àght for custody of the children. Lawyers can help parents avoid certain pitfalls that could prove problematic and costly should someone challenge the will after your death. Such pitfalls include not having enough witnesses to the will or not stating in the will that the document is, in fact, your will.

Emotional pleas from neighbours have sent a plan to establish a cemetery in South Surrey back to city staff. A developer is looking to create a new cemetery on four hectares (11 acres) of agricultural land next to the existing Hazelmere cemetery on 19082 16 Ave. Carmella Sandhu lives right across the street and is currently trying to sell her property. She told Surrey council at a public hearing last week that a couple of people have backed out of buying her home when they found out the cemetery was planned. “We definitely oppose this application,” Sandhu said. She told council her family never would have bought the property nine years ago had they known there would be a large cemetery planned for across the street, which is now an agricultural zone. “I implore you not to approve this application,” she said.

It’s just about a shooting a week. RCMP officers was called to 72 Avenue and 124 Street on Sunday at 2:35 p.m., after gunfire was heard. Witnesses said two vehicles were stopped, while one occupant shot at the other vehicle. One vehicle was described as a dark colored SUV with an Alberta license plate of K80 469. The second vehicle was described as a dark coloured Honda. Both vehicles were last seen speeding off westbound on 72 Avenue. Two other vehicles – not actively involved – were struck by one of the

House prices up in Valley Jeff Nagel
Benchmark prices
Black Press
House prices in the Fraser Valley have climbed sharply this year, though the market is not as redhot as in Vancouver. The benchmark price of a detached house in the Fraser Valley hit $649,200 in October. That’s a 13.2 per cent increase from a year ago and up nine per cent from $595,600 in April. The strongest price gain was in North Delta, where typical detached houses were up nearly 18 per cent since October 2014 to $658,600. That was a little lower than the average one-year gain of just over 20 per cent as of October in the Greater Vancouver Real Estate Board’s area, which includes Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows but excludes the South of Fraser cities. Greater Vancouver benchmark house prices are now at nearly $1.2 million, although that more than doubles to $2.77 million on the west side of Vancouver. The newest cities to breach the $1-million mark for benchmark houses are White Rock/South Surrey and Port Moody – both areas are close to $1.08 million.
White Rock/South Surrey House $1,070,700 (+16.6 %) Townhouse $441,100 (+0.8 %) Condo $269,900 (+8.9 %) Surrey House $735,900 (+13.6 %) Townhouse $333,500 (+4 %) Condo $215,300 (+5.6 %) North Delta House $658,600 (+17.8 %) Townhouse $340,300 (+4.6 %) Condo $167,800 (+6.7 %) Langley House $649,400 (+11.7 %) Townhouse $317,300 (+8.4 %) Condo $205,300 (+5.4 %) Source: Greater Vancouver, Fraser Valley real estate boards
They join north and south Burnaby, North Vancouver, Richmond, all of Vancouver, West Vancouver and Whistler with houses typically priced in seven figures. Houses and townhouses dominate the market in the Fraser Valley, making up 83 per cent of sales in October, according to the
Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, which includes Surrey and White Rock. “The reasons are due to low interest rates, pent-up demand and most importantly, price,” said FVREB president Jorda Maisey. “People can afford to own their own single-family home in the Fraser Valley.” She said the house and townhouse price increases flow from strong demand and a lack of sellers. Real-estate agents are increasingly urging would-be townhouse buyers to look instead at more affordable condos, which she said often go for about $100,000 less. The benchmark price of townhouses in the Valley is $313,700 and it’s $203,100 for condos. Both are up just over five per cent from a year ago. Benchmark prices are a gauge of a typical property and are considered more reflective of the market than average sale prices, which can be skewed up by highend transactions. The only areas where prices have dropped marginally from a year ago are condos in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.

hey were just teenagers when they made their way onto no man’s land. Climbing out of the trench in what was once farmland at Beaumont-Hamel, France, it took about three minutes for the tightly packed group to make their way to the halfway point between Canadian and German trench lines. Carson Jones, 17, was among the small group that paused at the “danger tree� – a landmark which had stopped many others. It was shell-fragmented stump known to be in full view of German artillery spotters and machine-gunners. It wasn’t long before it hit her. The North Delta student realized it was on that ground, 99 years earlier, on the first day of the Battle of the Somme during the First World War, that almost the entire Royal Newfoundland Regiment was wiped out in just 20 minutes.

More serious was a visit to a garden where the late owner, a Frenchwoman, found the bodies of 27 Canadians massacred by German soldiers during the Second World War. While many of the stops – sometimes five a day – became a blur, Vimy Ridge was a big one Jones remembers well. “It was just crazy going up this giant hill and trying to understand why (Canadians) wanted it so badly.

Call for nominations 2016 Vancity Board of Directors’ Election
The Nominations and Election Committee is seeking Vancity members to fill three director positions in the 2016 election. Each position is for a three-year term, commencing after the Annual General Meeting on Thursday, May 5, 2016. Prospective candidates are strongly advised to attend an information session which will be held at 6:00 pm on Wednesday, December 2, 2015 at Vancity Centre, 183 Terminal Avenue, Vancouver. Please contact the Governance Department by no later than 12 noon, Tuesday, December 1, 2015 to register for this session.
‘He very rarely talked about the war’ i from page 11 unprecedented sense of pride after its four divisions took the heights that their allies didn’t in the previous two years of battlefield attrition. The monument itself is “beautiful,” Jones says. “There are so many intricate little details carved into it, including a list of names.” One name not on it, nor on any Canadian memorial, is artilleryman William “Poppy” Janes (sic), Jones’ greatgrandfather, who survived the war and lived until 2002, when Jones was four years old. “He very, very rarely talked about the war,” says Jones’ mother Kim. “He was a Newfoundlander, so when he had a beer or two, his stories would come out, and he would often end up crying.” Poppy once told his family how
a German soldier, dying on a battlefield, showed him a picture of a woman – Poppy assumed it was his wife, as he didn’t understand what the German was saying. After some battles in the First World War, the Canadians scavenged the fields, Kim says. “They used to take the bullets and whatever they could. My grandfather said that if the Americans hadn’t come, they would’ve lost the war. They were running out of shoes, they were running out of bullets, they were running out of everything.” “(Poppy) did say once that we never should have been there, we were just children,” adds Kim. But mostly, he kept quiet about the war. “The same thing happened when we talked to veterans at Dieppe,” recalls Jones. “We would try to ask them
questions and they wouldn’t (answer) – they’d talk about it for a second and then they’d change the subject.” Jones came home with photos, trinkets and a heap of knowledge of history she plans to share with high school students – even while going to SFU this fall. (She hopes to become a teacher). “(The soldiers) gave up their lives,” she says. The least we can do is remember them.” Jones also brought home three jars filled with sand from Juno and Omaha beaches and stones from the beach at Dieppe, sites of Second World War battles. Her great-grandfather, Poppy, “would’ve been so proud of Carson going,” says Kim. For more information about the Beaverbrook Vimy Prize or to apply for 2016, visit www. vimyfoundation.ca/Beaverbrook

A strong Christmas tradition is all set to return this year on the Semiahmoo Peninsula – but organizers need volunteers to register right now to make sure work runs smoothly. The Community Christmas Day Dinner at First United Church in White Rock has been a manifestation of the closeness and caring of Peninsula residents for some 35 years – a continuation of the original determination of its founders that no one should be “alone or lonely” at what should be one of the more joyous times of the year. Never aimed at any one group or segment of the community, it’s been a celebration for those without family nearby; for those who have, for one reason or another, no plans for the day; and for those who simply enjoy the experience of sharing the traditional feast with neighbours. More than 6,000 guests have been

Mobile fall clinics to expand Jeff Nagel Black Press
Mobile clinics pioneered by Fraser Health to help seniors avoid dangerous falls and stay active longer will be rolled out across the province. The mobile labs bring imaging instruments like X-ray body scans and fall-risk assessment tools to individual communities. Seniors can meet with nurses, pharmacists, kinesiologists and physiotherapists to get various tests involving strength, balance, vision, blood pressure, a medication review and a diet evaluation focused on calcium and vitamin D. They leave with a personalized activity program. “There are four key ways to prevent falls as a senior: get your eyes checked, make your home safer, get regular exercise – including strength and balance training – and ask your doctor or pharmacist to review your medications,” said Fabio Feldman,

manager of Fraser Health’s falls and injury prevention program. “Following this simple advice could save you, or someone you love, the pain and suffering of a dangerous fall.” The mobile clinics first launched in Fraser Health but increased provincial funding will allow them to go province wide by 2018, in partnership with the Centre for Hip Health and Mobility at Vancouver General Hospital. Seniors can contact their GP for a referral for the next time the clinics come to their area. Each year, one-third of B.C. seniors fall, and 4,000 seniors who fall sustain a hip fracture. Falls are the top cause of injury-related deaths in seniors in B.C., and 20 per cent of older people who fall and fracture a hip do not survive.

Realtors’ annual blanket drive to launch next week An annual campaign to collect winter clothing and blankets to help those less fortunate get through the cold season launches Monday. The week-long Realtors Care Blanket Drive runs Nov. 16–23, with items collected on the Peninsula to support three local organizations: Atira Women’s Resource Society,
Sources Food Bank Resource Centre and Sources Women’s Place. “The wonderful thing about our blanket drive is that, rather than singling out one cause to support, we reach out to a number of worthy organizations in White Rock that touch different groups, ages and needs,” White
Rock team leader Lorraine Cauley said. Last year, the drive collected approximately 250 bags of donated items. Highly sought items this year include winter coats, toques, gloves, mitts and scarves for women and children, as well as blankets. Jeans, sweaters, sleeping bags and new socks and underwear
are also needed. In South Surrey/White Rock, items may be dropped off to HomeLife Benchmark (1-1920 152 St.), Royal LePage Northstar (118-15272 Croydon Dr.), Re/Max Colonial Pacific Realty (15414 24 Ave.) and Sutton GroupWest Coast White Rock ( 15595 24 Ave.).

Bio identical hormones replacement therapy (BHRT) involves the treatment of hormone deficiencies using hormones that are identical to those naturally produced in the body. Conventional hormone therapy on the other hand, uses hormones that have been chemically altered so that they can be patented and sold as a drug. It is this chemically altered drug form of hormone therapy that has received much negative attention regarding the side effects associated with hormone therapy. The goal of bio identical hormones replacement therapy (BHRT) is to achieve a natural hormone balance in the body resulting in symptom relief and improved well being without the side effects. BHRT is used to treat a variety of hormone deficiencies such as menopause, peri-menopause, hypothyroidism, and adrenal deficiencies. It can also be used to facilitate weight loss and treat infertility, endometriosis, heavy menstrual bleeding, menstrual cramping, premenstrual syndrome, low libido, depression, anxiety, insomnia, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue. Bio identical hormones are made using natural ingredients and available by prescription from local pharmacies. I have over 15 years of experience using BHRT. Your first appointment with me will involve a comprehensive consultation, lab work and physical exam. I will present dietary, nutritional and lifestyle options that will help you achieve hormone balance in the long term and bio identical hormone replacement therapy options to provide more immediate results.

Your Travel & Cruise Expert
It wouldn’t appear to be. The latest figures out for October sales, show the market is still very strong and nearing historic levels – particularly for Laura Thibeault single family homes. Inventory of detached Realtor homes for sale in South Surrey White Rock was 485 in September, 2015; in October, 2015 it was 407. Whenever inventory is low, sellers remain in the driver’s seat. Because prices and demand for single family detached homes is still strong, many entry level buyers are turning to townhomes and condominiums where they find selection is greater and their dollar goes further. Down-sizers are also entering the attached home market in higher numbers. Therefore sales for attached homes are starting to rise as well. Long story short - if you’re thinking of selling you don’t need to be concerned about the season. Traditional selling cycles seem to be a thing of the past in this popular area.

This mentality is very common in our Canadian society, and none more so than the typical Canadian man. The problem with this mentality is that if you’re waiting for your spine to become degenerative before you do anything about it... You’re waiting too Dr. Thomas Burge long! Chiropractor If we approached our cars the same way, we would avoid regular services and only see a mechanic when the car won’t work anymore. Obviously most of us don’t do this but interestingly you can replace your car and it doesn’t affect your health. You can’t replace your spine and it directly affects your health! Do yourself (and the ability to provide for your family) a favour, and get a regular chiropractic assessment to ensure your spine is balanced and working at its best! What’s that?... You don’t like Doctors!...or taking medication... great! Our speciality is to get you to your optimum so that the chances of you requiring drugs and surgery are greatly reduced.

Cutting the nail on your own can be very painful, and could promote infection if not done properly. Having a podiatrist do it, under local anesthesia if necessary, is the best way. Soaking the toe 2 - 3 times per day in warm salt water can help to reduce any infection. Antibiotics are rarely needed. If the condition is chronic, a podiatrist can permanently remove all, or part, of the nail root so that the ingrown toenail never recurs. Prevention: Cut your toe nails regularly, but cut them straight across. Never round the corners or edges. Make sure you wear shoes that have adequate width and depth, and are not too tight. Activity Restrictions: None. But don’t let an ingrown nail sit unattended too long. Prevention and early treatment are the best solutions. These can be painful.
dogs are susceptible to frostbite and hypothermia, just like humans. Here are some tips to keep your pets safe and warm this winter: - Keep pets inside. Some breeds are more tolerant of the cold, but no pet should be left outdoors for long periods of time in freezing weather. - Provide shelter. When pets are outside, provide them with warm, dry shelter to block any wind, rain, or snow. - Check your car. Cats are attracted to the warmth of cars and like to find shelter around them. Make sure to look under your car and in the wheel wells, and bang on the hood to check for any visitors. - Check paws. Salt from sidewalks can be irritating to pets’ paws and cause injuries. Make sure to wipe their paws clean, or provide them with specially made pet boots.

Asian species found in Maple Ridge, Mission
New mosquito a potential disease carrier Jeff Nagel
are continuing to study the insects, hoping to pinpoint their origin
Black Press
An invasive Asian mosquito that can carry diseases such as encephalitis has been detected for the first time in Western Canada, at a site in Metro Vancouver. SFU biologist Peter Belton was among the researchers who found the Aedes Japonicus mosquito species breeding in water on a tarp in a Maple Ridge backyard. The closest the species had been detected previously was in southern Washington and Oregon in 2008, and it has been found in Eastern Canada and the U.S. since 1998. The mosquito is capable of transmitting West Nile virus, three types of encephalitis and Chikungunya, a viral disease that causes fever and severe joint pain mainly in Africa and Asia. Belton says the mosquito could pose a significant public health hazard in the future if global warming expands the distribution of the diseases it can carry. “We believe it could be a significant threat to the health of humans and domestic animals and recommend that its population should be monitored,” Belton and other researchers said in their paper published in the

A potentially disease-carrying mosquito species not previously found in Western Canada is now believed to be breeding in the Lower Mainland. Journal of Medical Entomology. There is no current concern about disease spread from the new species but that could change, said Scott McMahon, operations manager for Culex Environmental, which monitors mosquitos in the region for Metro Vancouver. “West Nile was never in Canada before either,” he said, adding that could be a cautionary tale for the eventual arrival of a new disease. “You don’t know how it might be introduced, but we’re one step closer I would say,” McMahon said.
“To have a pathogen and the transmission of it you need the right (mosquito) species and the right pathogen. Now we have one out of two.” Researchers first identified the Japonicus larvae in July 2014 in a Maple Ridge garden, where more than 200 were counted by early 2015. An adult female was found feeding 13 kilometres further east in Mission in May. That led the researchers to conclude at least two populations have been established in the Lower Mainland.

Blue Frog Studios Canadian pop and folk icon Valdy (aka Valdemar Horsdal) is always a solid bet for a sell-out in the intimate concert setting of Blue Frog Studios. But in case any extra enticement were needed to promote his unique brand of music and storytelling, his next concert at the venue, this Friday (Nov. 13, doors 7 p.m., show 8 p.m.) is a fundraiser for the important environmental work of the Friends of Semiahmoo Bay Society. The relaxed and amiable singer – who has plenty of friends of his own from tours in over a dozen different countries – may be best remembered for his bitter-sweet Play Me a Rock and Roll Song, a chronicle of facing a rambunctious audience at the Aldergrove Rock Festival circa 1968. The experience didn’t sour him on making music – Valdy has

Art show and sale If you’re looking to buy original art for yourself or a loved one, it’s worth checking out The South Surrey and White Rock Art Society’s annual Fall Art Show and Sale, which returns this Saturday and Sunday (Nov. 14 and 15) at South Surrey Recreation and Arts Centre, 14601 20 Ave. The event, open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day, offers a sampling of the work of more than 60 local artists – amounting to hundreds of original pieces in a variety of media, styles, sizes and price points.
White Rock Trad Jazz Fans of the feel-good brand of jazz that reached its zenith in the Roaring ’20s will be happy to know that White Rock Traditional Jazz Society’s regular 2 to 5 p.m. sessions of live Dixieland for dancing and listening continue each Sunday at the Royal Canadian Legion Crescent Branch 240 (2643 128 St.). This Sunday (Nov. 15) it’s trumpeter Bonnie Northgrave’s band on the stand, followed on Nov. 22 by Square Pegs Jazz.

legendary Bonnie Raitt referred to as “a triple-threat” and “one of my musical heroes” is back – vocalist/keyboardist/saxophonist John Lee Sanders will return for a fifth Gospel and Blues Christmas Concert with his band, at a new venue. White Rock Baptist Church (1657 140 St.) will be the setting for a rocking, feel-good seasonal celebration which gets underway at 7 p.m. Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door. The joyous sounds will continue at the same venue Saturday, Dec. 5, when Peninsula Productions presents its ‘SingA-Long Messiah’ event with the 80-member Vancouver Bach
Choir under the direction of Leslie Dala. It’s the second year that the choir – a Vancouver tradition since 1930 – has brought Handel’s uplifting masterwork to South Surrey. Peninsula says that all who wish to “raise their voices in a Christmas spirit” are welcome, be they serious singers, ‘shower singers’ or those who have yet to experience the fun of singing along with a choir. Tickets are available at South Surrey Recreation & Arts Centre (14601 20 Ave.) and Tourism White Rock (1459 Johnston Rd.), or at brownpapertickets.com For more information, visit www.peninsulaproductions.org
The well-received series of 3 p.m. Sunday afternoon performances at White Rock’s First United Church, 15385 Semiahmoo Ave. – presented by Encore Peninsula Concerts and co-sponsored by the City of White Rock – returns this month, kicking off Nov. 22. A stellar line-up is a continuing testament to artistic director, and internationally-recognized concert pianist, Eugene Skovordnikov’s connections in the world of classical touring musicians. The Nov. 22 concert features a former piano student of his, Canadian-American musician Pius Cheung, who has since gone on to international fame as a virtuoso exponent of the marimba – expanding the horizons of the melodic percussion instruments with adaptations of many classical pieces. Next up will be a Jan. 31 concert featuring Chinese cellist Yinzi Kong and her life and performing partner, American pianist William Ransom. Italian piano duo Sergio Marchegiani and Marco Schiavo, both also noted as soloists, will bring out the excitement of Brahms’ piano duets on Feb. 28, while Polish/Belgian pianist Joanna Trzeciak will present Beethoven and Chopin pieces on April 17. Rounding out the series will be an extra treat – an orchestral performance by the strings of the West Coast Symphony Orchestra (conducted by Albanian maestro Bujar Llapaj) with Skovorodnikov and Canadian-American trumpeter Dan Kocurek. Featured pieces at this concert will be Eine Kleine Nachtmusik by Mozart, surely one of the best-known of all classical compositions, and Shostakovich’s Concerto No. 1 for Piano, Trumpet and Strings.

Artist Peter Gutmanis approaches the world of the rodeo circuit from a unique perspective – not only has he worked with beef cattle and horses on his own farm in Quebec, but, as an orthopedic surgeon, he has observed firsthand the injuries that half-ton animals can inflict on human handlers. As a result his paintings, showcased in the exhibit Real Cowboys Wear Hats To Work (until Nov. 21, White Rock Community Centre, 15154 Russell Ave.) succeed in capturing all the awe and fear – and explosive potential for danger – inherent in rodeo riding. Presented by Semiahmoo Arts and the City of White Rock’s Art On Display program, Gutmanis’ dynamic work depicts “the moment when the cowboy, with no more protection than his everyday work clothes, tries to ride the whirlwind.”
White Rock Players Club Actors are busily rehearsing for all the madness and merriment of White Rock Players Club’s annual audience-pleaser, the Christmas pantomime. This year’s effort – Cinderella – is an updating of Charlotte Johnson’s 1960 script, directed by Lisa Pavilionis. The family-friendly show runs Dec. 4 - Jan. 2, at the Coast Capital Playhouse (1532 Johnston Rd.). Tickets can be purchased through www. whiterockplayers.ca, or from the theatre box office, 604-536-7535. Upcoming this season are Marc Camoletti’s celebrated 1960s door-slammer farce Boeing, Boeing, set to hit the stage March 2-19, and Noel Coward’s brilliant 1930s comedy of manners Private Lives (April 13-30). The announced season closer will offer not one, but two versions of a classic comedy – a staging, on alternate nights, of both the male and female versions of Neil Simon’s The Odd Couple. To inquire about season ticket options, call 604536-7535.

Jaxon Mackie said he actually enjoyed running in the rain. At the time, he was just moments removed from a first-place finish in the junior boys race at Fraser Valley Championships.
And if he liked the rain then, he must really love it now, after capturing a provincial title under adverse conditions Saturday at Vancouver’s Jericho Park. Mackie, 15, won the 5.3-km race
by a nose – the race was so close that Mackie finished with the same official time, 17 minutes and 41 seconds, as the second-place finisher Kalum Delaney of Reynolds Secondary in i see page 27

Southridge boys’ only loss comes in championship game
Storm second at senior soccer provincials Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
Heading into provincial soccer championships last week, Southridge Storm senior boys coach Gordon Smith said that, without one dominant odds-on favourite, the banner was any team’s to win. Southridge had as good a shot at the title as anyone, he said, and he nearly proved to be prothetic, as the Storm finished second in the province.
The team, which was seeded fourth out of 16 at provincials, lost to Victoria’s GlenlyonNorfolk Gryphons 5-1 in the championship game Saturday afternoon. In the final game, the Gryphons got off to a great start, and led 3-0 at halftime before the Storm were finally able to get onto the board. The loss was the only blip for the Storm, however. The team – which played at the AA level last season, due to enrolment numbers – cruised through the round-robin

portion of the tournament, placing first in Pool D after wins over Fort St. James (3-0) and Immaculata (2-0), and a 0-0 draw with Nakusp. In the team’s first playoff round, the Storm drew the first-place squad from Pool C, West Point Grey, and snuck out with a narrow 2-1 victory to advance all the way to the final against Glenlyon-Norfolk.

a week ago, after capturing a Fraser Valley ‘A’ championship with a win over Langley’s Credo Christian Kodiaks, who were previously undefeated. At the time, Smith called the win “a pretty cool turn of events” considering the team got off to a slow start this season, losing their opening game while also rotating players through a handful of positions, including goalkeeper, until they found a combination that worked.

P RO F E S S I O N A L S Runners brave rain, cold ON THE SEMIAHMOO PENINSULA
i from page 25 Victoria. Only three other Surrey runners placed in the top 30 in the junior boys run – Fleetwood Park’s Matt Hobson was 16th, Earl Marriott’s Sajjan Sarai was 18th and Tamanawis Secondary’s Tyson Baker placed 25th. Local runners also shone at the senior level, led by the Semiahmoo Totems’ senior girls, who finished third overall in the team rankings, led by Julia Greer, who placed 16th in the five-km race; Jessica Williams, who was 26th; and Haley Ribeiro, 32nd. “The conditions were tough. Heavy rains, colder temperatures and lots of mud… but the girls ran with heart and determination in extremely challenging conditions,” said Semiahmoo coach Scott Yewchuk. “At the end of the day, they left nothing out on the course.” Clayton Heights’ Christina Sevsek was the top individual finisher among Surrey runners, finishing second, while her sister, Julie Sevsek, was seventh. Earl Marriott’s Georgia Ginther was 20th overall and Elgin Park’s Danielle Steer rounded out the
top local runners, in 40th out of the field of 100 runners. At the senior boys level – a six-km race – the top local was White Rock Christian Academy’s Connor Jackson, who placed fifth. Jackson, who was the bronze-medal winner at Fraser Valleys in late October, clocked a time of 24:11, just 24 seconds off the pace of first-place finisher Kieran Lumb of Lord Bynd Secondary. In addition to a top-five placing, Jackson’s run also set a new WRCA senior boys record – a mark previously held by Jordan Mara, who went on to run for the University of Arizona after high school. Semiahmoo’s Dawson Ribeiro was the second South Surrey runner to cross the line, finishing 25th in a time of 25:54. In the four-km junior girls race, the top Surrey runner was Panorama Ridge’s Alanna Sydenham, who was ninth, while Sullivan Heights’ Emma Kramer was 19th. WRCA’s Sarah Chu crossed the finish line in 28th place to round out the top local runners. For a full list of results, visit www. bcxc.ca

She will be missed by her sister Beryl (Bunny) Campbell, daughters Brenda (Dave Keene), Jan (Dave Dilworth), Sandra (Peter Stewart), Joy Luft, 10 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren.
GLOVER James (Jim) Lewis November 14, 1924 - October 21, 2015 James (Jim) Lewis Glover passed away peacefully on Oct 21, 2015 at the Peace Arch Hospital Hospice in White Rock, British Columbia. He was 90 years old. Born in Windsor, Ontario on November 14, 1924, to James & Maude (Avery) Glover, he is predeceased by his sister, Jean Prior. He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Muriel (Preston), son Alan, Jane (Harlow), granddaughter Jessica Wolfe, Chris Davis, (just missed great grandson Finley Harlow Davis, DOB Oct 28, 2015), grandsons Jack & Ben, son Bob, Marlyn Chisholm, granddaughters Natalie & Zoe, son Bruce, Wendy (Graves) granddaughters Kirsten & Ellen, grandson Patrick and daughter Nancy. Jim served with the RCAF in WWII. He received a degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Toronto in 1950, shortly after starting work at Preston Phipps, Inc. in Montreal in engineering sales. He retired in 1989 as a partner and Vice President in the Toronto office. Always good humoured, he was an impossible guy not to like. He lived his life with integrity and taught his kids by example. “One does not demand respect, one commands respect”, and command he did.
Passed away peacefully, aged 82 years, on November 2nd, 2015 following a long struggle against Alzheimer’s disease. Pre-deceased in 2011 by her loving husband of 60 years, Don Kalman, she was a real sweetheart and endured her condition at all times with dignity and grace. Our dear mum will be missed a lot by the care aides, nurses and fellow residents of Dr. Al Hogg Pavilion (first floor), and most especially, by us, her adoring children, Suzy Kalman and Eric Kalman. ‘Sweet Thelma Kalman, out for a drive, watching the traffic and all things alive, laughing and smiling and making things bright, she keeps people happy from morning ‘til night’. Rest in peace, Mum!
LORIEAU
Henri Maurice Passed away peacefully on November 6, 2015 in Surrey, BC at the age of 62. He is predeceased by his mother and father Marie-Claire and Lucien Lorieau. He will be deeply missed by his 7 brothers and sisters, his 3 children Nicole, Victoria, Marc and his best friend and loving wife, Julie. Henri was an accomplished and talented musician whose career and passion for life brought him to Vancouver where he met the love of his life, Julie. His spirit is forever embodied in the joyful music he created. Henri loved with his whole heart; he lived everyday to the fullest and was always ready for “more parties to come”. He was blessed with what we can only describe as the “happy gene” and he refused to allow his ailment to discourage or mislead his faith and love of life. His love and generosity touched many throughout the tightly woven communities of the Good Shepherd Church, his choral families and White Rock Baseball. He will be forever missed even while his memory echoes in our hearts. You will be with us always, our beautiful, amazing and wonderful, Henri.
