Neighbours left fuming after occupancy permits awarded
Builders sidestep Surrey regulations Kevin Diakiw Black Press
Illegal construction in Surrey continues unabated, according to one local builder who has watched unlawful construction occurring all around his Newton home over the past few years.
Andrew Houghton is outraged at the level of non-compliance with building rules around his home in the 14000-block of 79A Avenue. The latest infraction occurred just down the lane from his place, said Houghton, who saw it coming as soon as construction
started. There were several corner posts put in place to hold up future walls. Once awarded the occupancy permits from the City of Surrey, Houghton said the builder took down the railing from the outdoor balcony and within two days, walls were erected and the now indoor space was finished.
The lower portion under the deck was also filled in to make room for a larger area. Houghton called a city bylaw official, who said there was nothing the department could do about it, and then referred him to Surrey’s building division. see page A4

More than 500 people gathered in silence at Holland Park Friday night to mourn the death of Surrey teen Maple Batalia. The large group placed candles and flowers around a table covered with photos of Batalia, with many people standing in line for more than an hour to pay their respects to the 19-year-old Simon Fraser University student. Batalia was shot Wednesday morning on the third level of the Central City parkade near the Surrey campus of SFU. She had been studying with friends, and left for her car at just after 1

A B.C. Supreme Court claim seeking forfeiture of five of 13 high-end vehicles seized Aug. 31 in South Surrey and White Rock has been filed by the provincial government. According to court documents, the Director of Civil Forfeiture filed the claim Sept. 27 in Vancouver, seeking to keep a Nissan GTR, two Lamborghini Gallardos, an Aston Martin DB9 and a Mercedes SLS from being returned to their registered owners. The five, along with eight others, were pulled over in White Rock and South Surrey just before 4 p.m. Aug. 31, following multiple complaints of luxury vehicles racing southbound on Highway 99. Police at the time handed all 13 drivers $196-violation tickets, but said they did not have enough evidence to recommend criminal charges. According to the notice of claim, the defendants and others met at Lansdowne Centre in Richmond and “conspired to engage in street racing” along the highway en route to South Surrey. Along the way, the claim states, they cut in and out of traffic in an unsafe manner, drove without due care and attention to other motorists, engaged in street racing at speeds up to 200 km/h and pulled over and re-joined highway traffic see page A4

Company fined $3,500 in electrocution death An Aldergrove company whose worker was electrocuted on the roof of a White Rock home 2½ years ago has been fined more than $3,500 in connection with the fatality. According to information in a recent WorkSafe BC report, L.S. Gutter Tech Ltd. was assessed a $3,598.86 penalty last May for failing to determine the voltage of nearby power lines or the distance to be maintained from them to ensure safety of the work; failing to provide workers with the necessary instruction, training and supervision; and failing to provide two young workers an orientation regarding specific hazards at the worksite. Those and other violations resulted in the worker’s death, the report states. A 23-year-old Burnaby man was killed May 4, 2009, when a 52-foot section of gutter he was carrying struck a 14,000-volt overhead power line. The victim was part of a three-man crew working in the 15200-block of Victoria Avenue at the time. The gutter struck the wire – which was about 12 feet from the eave near where the crew was working – as the men were putting it into place. Despite firefighters’ efforts to revive him, the worker was pronounced dead at the scene. A second worker was taken to hospital.

news Tour operator seeks lower lease fee
White Rock considers Saturna service Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
White Rock residents with a hankering to visit the Gulf Islands will have to wait a little longer to learn if they’ll have access to a quicker way of getting there starting in May. City manager Peggy Clark confirmed last week that city staff are continuing to negotiate an agreement with Discovery SeaTours’ Peter Stolting for a seasonal sightseeing and whale-watching service proposed to run between White Rock pier and Saturna Island. Council gave the service a thumbs-up in July, with a 5-2 vote. Approval was conditional, with provision of indemnity insurance and negotiation of a lease agreement among stipulations that had to be met. In a presentation on Sept. 19, Stolting

Helen Fathers and Doug McLean both questioned if the service was safe. “What happens if somebody dies in the water?” Fathers asked, to which Stanton replied the applicant would have to carry adequate insurance to cover the city in the event of any accident or damage. Stolting noted he already carries $2 million worth of insurance and would increase that to at least $5 million. Regarding environmental impact, Stolting was confident his service wouldn’t have any. The vessel involved will be a ninemetre, fully enclosed, 12-passenger rigidhull inflatable. At half the depth of a sailboat, “it won’t be doing any environmental impact,” he said.
21 charges for siblings
Property crime warning A total of 21 charges of breakand-enter have been laid against a pair of brothers arrested last month in connection with a slew of property crimes in Surrey, Langley, White Rock and New Westminster. But while celebrating Crown approval of charges against Dane and Darwin Dorozan, Surrey RCMP warned residents there is still reason for vigilance, given a recent series of similar crimes in the Fraser Heights area. Cpl. Drew Grainger said Friday that police believe one or more individuals are behind the spree, which included several residential break-ins in one afternoon. “Many of our city’s residents live on large rural properties which can be prone to these types of break-ins,” Grainger said. “On properties such as these a thief can move about… sometimes undetected. It is important then to always secure your homes and property even if you happen to be in the immediate vicinity.” He recommended ensuring garage doors are closed and secured as one simple step that can reduce a person’s odds of being targeted. Charges against the Dorozan brothers were approved last week. The pair were arrested Aug. 15 following a residential break-in in South Surrey. Dane Dorozan, 35, is facing two charges of break-and-enter and has been released on strict conditions; Darwin Dorozan, 36, remains in custody on 19 charges of break-and-enter. He is also charged with possession of stolen property and assault with a weapon. Dane Dorozan is next scheduled to appear in Surrey Provincial Court Oct. 19; Darwin was to appear Sept. 30. – Tracy Holmes

The legacy of Linda Klitch continues. In addition to more than 100 close friends and family members who attended the celebration of life for the late Peace Arch News publisher at Hazelmere Golf Club Saturday morning, hundreds more – among them many Black Press colleagues, local politicians, representatives of service and charitable organizations and others from the community – came to pay their respects. Many picked up information and forms for the legacy fund established in memory of Klitch, who passed away suddenly Sept. 26 following complications from surgery for a benign tumour.

More than 100 stop-work orders from page A1 The building inspector told him the situation is “rampant across the city” and that there is nothing she could do. She referred him back to the bylaw department. After Black Press began placing calls to the city about the address in question, a stop-work order was placed on the home; construction is largely completed. Don Luymes, acting general manager of planning, acknowledged Thursday there’s a large volume of illegal construction in the city; more than a hundred homes now have stop-work orders. Luymes was unable to say how many complied with the orders, but those who don’t are referred to the city’s legal department. City solicitor Craig MacFarlane said he was unable to determine right away how many of those cases are before the courts. He said the city is pursuing legal action in numerous cases. Asked if any of the claims are for built-in decks, MacFarlane said “there are different building infractions.”

Andrew Houghton says he’s frustrated by the city’s lack of action. was undertaken almost exactly as Houghton described this week. Mayor Dianne Watts said it’s unacceptable that city bylaws are not being enforced. “There should be a stop-work order put on it and (the unlawful building) torn out,” she said. Watts doesn’t agree with the inspector who characterized the situation as rampant. “We have building guidelines and bylaws in place they need to follow. Bylaws and building should be out there,” Watts said. The mayor said she’d ensure the situation is rectified.
For Houghton, a builder with 30 years experience, the situation is frustrating. He says there is no political will in Surrey to do anything about it. “I’m not against anyone having a suite, but it seems like it’s always these illegal suites and the streets are filled with cars.” The problem isn’t new. City inspectors said 2½ years ago that they felt like their jobs had become a joke after council dropped litigation against more than 70 illegal homes weeks before a civic election.

Civic election candidates turn to Facebook, Twitter Kevin Diakiw Black Press
During the coming civic election campaign, most candidates will be using social media, such as Twitter and Facebook, as tools for engaging the public and raising funds for their campaigns. How effective they will be boils down to how well candidates use the new media. One candidate for the Surrey Board of Education is already utilizing the tools for fundraising. Paul Hillsdon sent out invitations by Facebook and other social media networks asking for donations to his campaign for school board. In the post, he describes at length his purpose for running for school board and notes he’ll need capital to do it. He states he’s aiming to raise $5,000 for his campaign. That figure will give Hillsdon the money needed to run an average campaign, according to figures from the 2008 run for school board. Hillsdon also has a significant web presence through his blogs, which he has been using to publish opinion pieces. Hillsdon said Wednesday he’s had a few donations through
They’re off‌ Nominations for candidates in the upcoming municipal election open 9 a.m. today (Oct. 4). Those interested in running for council may submit their nomination papers anytime before 4 p.m. Friday, Oct. 14. In White Rock, documents may be picked up and dropped off at city hall, 15322 Buena Vista Ave. In Surrey, the election office is located at 14245 56 Ave. The municipal election will take place Nov. 19. In Surrey, there are eight councillor and six school trustees seats, in addition to the mayor; in White Rock, residents may vote for six councillors, one school trustee and the mayor.

Social media sites will be key for candidates. the online request, but said he’s into “brand new territory.� The contributions coming in are small, but it’s early going yet, he noted. Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said her Surrey First team will be using social media to “get the word out� and engage some voters. She also said Surrey First will be doing some fundraising through social media during the approach to the Nov. 19 election. Social media earned its place in the political campaigns in Barack Obama’s successful run for U.S. president in 2008. It was subsequently used in the Toronto municipal elections of 2010 and the Canadian
federal elections of 2011. It’s broadly felt that Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi’s successful run in 2010 was greatly helped with his use of social media. Mia Pearson is a co-founder of North Strategic, a firm out of Toronto specializing in the use of social media. She’s been watching how it has evolved in politics for the past four years, prior to Obama’s success with it. She told Black Press the tools can be extremely effective, but only if their use is wellconsidered. If a candidate plans to just “get the word out� with Twitter or Facebook, they will be sorely disappointed, she said.
“I think it’s effective if they’re using it in a way that’s listening to the community, where the community is responding and you create a discussion online,� Pearson said. “If you look at Facebook and Twitter as a broadcast medium, you’re basically wasting your time.� It becomes extremely effective, particularly on Facebook, where politicians create a dialogue with users and engage people in important discussions. “It’s called social media because it needs to be social,� Pearson said. Twitter is great for “crowd sourcing,� in which politicians announce they will be at an event talking about certain issues, Pearson said, while Facebook is where the dialogue with users will occur and where a real community is built. Pearson said there’s a huge number of people using social media. “Canadians are the number-one users of Facebook in the world,� Pearson said. “It’s growing among moms and also the older demographic, the sort of 65-plus.� She also noted the use of social media is not just a blip on the political landscape. It’s here to stay.

Consultation needed on Hydro changes ne of the hot topics at last week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention was BC Hydro’s controversial decision to bring in smart meters. This has been an issue for many people around the province, including in White Rock, where local residents have repeatedly appealed for council’s intervention on smart meters and Wi-Fi. Despite all the concerns over radiation, privacy, loss of jobs for meter readers and billing based on time of use, the smart-meter issue boils down to one simple fact. The government pushed the idea through without proper consultation, and has continued to stick with the proposal despite a change in leadership and a new minister of energy, who has already taken a much closer look at all aspects of Hydro’s operations. Energy Minister Rich Coleman is perhaps one of the most pragmatic members of the cabinet. He was asked by former premier Gordon Campbell to take on many challenging files, and he relishes hard work. He has already shown a willingness to make some changes in the way Hydro does things. He recognizes the importance of not only doing the right thing, but being seen by the public to be doing the right thing. Thus, it would be no real problem for him to ask Hydro to delay the smart meter program, at least until there has been full consultation with the public. Coleman knows, as do all members of the cabinet, that this lack of proper consultation is what doomed the HST, and it is unlikely that he would like to see a repeat of that fiasco. BC Hydro could arrange a series of public meetings on the topic, and give the public a chance to ask questions and present their views. Hydro can bring out experts on smart meters and also outline exactly why the corporation feels they are so important. Hydro and the government have not handled this issue well thus far, but there is still time to rectify much of the damage. A little meaningful consultation could go a long way in dealing with all the concerns about smart meters. If after consultation, Hydro still wishes to proceed, at least the public will have had a say.

122 responding their wireless voting devices to vote about 55 per cent in favour of the moratorium. Premier Christy Clark was asked after the convention if her government would contemplate a moratorium on meter installation. “No,” she replied. This is not surprising, since the motion effectively asks BC Hydro to waste $930 million. “I’ve spent quite a bit of time talking with the experts about it,” Clark said. “I don’t share those health concerns, because when we’re surrounded by wireless and cellphones, there are a lot of other sources of the problem that they’re concerned about.” I’ve argued with numerous people about this. They often start with an exaggerated claim about the World Health Organization’s risk rating. In fact, WHO acknowledges that people who claim hypersensitivity to electromagnetic signals can’t identify them in controlled studies. WHO also notes that cellphone-tower emissions are effectively five times weaker than the FM radio and TV signals to which we’ve all been exposed for decades. Cell base stations reach no more than two per cent of international limits. And smart-meter signals are much weaker than that. I’m done arguing with people who make up their own facts. I’ll just address those who haven’t bought into this nonsense. Please, survey your council candidates on smart meters, and on Nov. 19, support only those who have the common sense to understand what a smart grid is.

Final days deserve more
No need for Family’s fate no bells, whistles laughing matter
Editor: I recently had a sudden urge to visit a friend who had just been admitted to Peace Arch Hospital due to cancer-related issues. This was also a sudden trip for her, since she was settling so nicely into her new “digs” here in South Surrey. I had only known this lady for about six weeks through work, but we instantly connected and she became a true friend to me. During our brief friendship, she shared so many wonderful stories about her life and family, and she talked about her husband, who had passed away years ago. This lady was a tiny, spunky, intelligent and very courageous individual. She always smiled, despite dealing with horrible lung and kidney cancer. I am writing to say how shocked and upset I was when I visited her in hospital and saw that she had no TV in her little room. Evidently, if you are in palliative care, you do not get a television, unless you pay for it. Yet, if you go to palliative care in Delta, the TV is free. Sitting on a chair beside my friend’s bed, I noticed a television that was brought from home. When I asked her if I could plug it in, she said don’t bother, because a staff member will come by and unplug it, which had already happened a few times. So, either you pay about $11 a day to watch TV on an eightinch hospital screen, or rent it for $129.50 for three weeks. And you cannot bring one from home, either. All my friend wanted to do was to watch sports. Here she was, this lovely woman, dying from the awful cancer that was destroying her body. We had a visit I will never forget, sharing stories and laughing, and I was the one wiping tears from my face. About a week or so later, I heard she had passed away. I am outraged that my friend was unable to watch any television during her last few days alive on this planet. I am very upset at the system, those who have the power to deprive dying seniors of enjoying a couple of laughs before they depart. These patients in palliative care have earned the right to spend their last few days or weeks with dignity and respect. To pull the TV cord out of the wall socket and tell my friend she can’t watch any TV – while trying to just remain alive – is a disgrace and is inhumane. I happen to work with seniors. White Rock is a seniors destination, and B.C. has the highest number of seniors in Canada. Many seniors are on a budget, and cannot afford any little extras, even if they wanted to. I asked and was told Fraser Health has authority over cable, and private companies provide the tiny TVs. If your loved one ends up in palliative care, I suggest you equip him or her with a cellphone, iPad, laptop, headphones, CDs, cassette player and radio, and anything else you can think of, which can provide some type of entertainment. Hopefully, there’s no law against that. Caroline Suedbeck, White Rock
Editor: Re: White Rock mulls mobile command unit, July 26. I notice in the Peace Arch News the White Rock fire chief ’s recommendation on retaining the 1995 step van for use as a command vehicle, for a minor $4,500 upgrade. This, in my opinion, is a frill. I visualize in the future this van requiring major repairs and ultimate replacement, say in five years or less. This vehicle will then become a $45,000-plus replacement with, of course, all the bells and whistles added on. I know we all regard White Rock as a thriving metropolis, but what would be so bad having the chief at the location with his portable radio equipment in his command car? Maybe we should share Surrey’s command vehicle or Delta’s? Sell the truck! R. Powell, White Rock
Editor: Our family went through the genetic testing this year, after we found out my identical twin sister had breast cancer at the age of 38. We found out that all three kids, plus my dad, have the BRCA2 gene, which increases our risk of breast cancer from 50 to 80 per cent and ovarian cancer from 26 per cent, greater than the general population. I found out in the summer that I had two tumours, after electing to do “preventative surgeries – bilateral mastectomy and partial hysterectomy,” and my second sister just found out she had precancerous cells after she did her mastectomy last month. When she went to see White Rock physician to speak about her next surgery – a partial hysterectomy – the doctor proceeded to tell my dad, “Don’t you know as the gene carrier you are killing your kids!”
When my dad left the room in tears, the doctor then told my sister “Can’t your dad take a joke?” At this point, my sister did not know the results of her mastectomy. We, of course, are horrified by what was said to my father and are equally horrified that she is telling us that we are dying. We are determined to beat this horrible disease, but to have a doctor say this to us in unimaginable. These statements added more stress to a stressful situation. My family has been through hell watching my twin go through her surgeries, four months of chemo and six weeks of radiation. Then, one month after my twin had finished treatment, I found out that I had cancer, as well. Three months later, my other sister finds out she has pre-cancerous cells. I would like this to become public. We have started filing a complaint with the College of Surgeons and Physicians, but it is a five-month minimum procedure. We would like others to be aware of what is being said by this doctor. Tanya Williams, Langley

The danger of a lamp standard toppling and injuring someone is probably less likely than getting hit by a re-entering satellitea Geo Heath

A city staff warning that visitors to White Rock Pier risk “severe personal injury” is overstated, writes Geo Heath.
Pier counsel deserves a rethink Editor: Re: White Rock feels pier pressure, Sept. 22. Something is seriously wrong here. I’ve looked into this a little deeper and I now have more facts to base my comments and opinion upon. There are 14 light posts on the pier. They are constructed of painted iron or steel, and are showing varying degrees of deterioration, with the damage predominately near the base. The posts furthest out are substantially worse than the ones close to shore. The other post and the arch associated with each light standard are unpainted galvanized steel and were added relatively recently – they are in excellent condition. A few minutes on the Internet determined that commercial grade 16-foot lamp posts with lights are available in a range of materials, styles, and colours, for between $700 and $2,000 for the very fanciest. For the harsh marine environment at the pier, fibreglass and powder-coated aluminum are available and probably the best choice. What would it take to replace them, labour-wise? Turn off the power, disconnect three wires, remove four lag bolts, remove the upper strap and remove the old light post. Installation would be reverse procedure. I estimate it could be easily done in four man-hours each. Two guys with the proper equipment and skill should be able to change all 14 in less than four days. So how much should this job cost? Let’s say we buy
14 of the more expensive lamps at $1,500 each – that’s $21,000. And these guys replacing them – assuming the city workers are too busy – they get paid $80 an hour each. That should be less than $5,000. Let’s be generous and throw in 20 per cent for miscellaneous; you should be able to complete whole job quickly for around $30K or less, using superior materials. White Rock taxpayers, demand to know why this could possibly cost over $400,000. On a related point, I just came from the pier this morning, where winds were blowing at 80 km/h. I was not alone; dozens of others were traversing the pier for their morning walk. If there was a risk of “severe personal injury to those visiting White Rock Pier,” would the city allow the pier to remain open? I don’t think so. This is nothing more than scaremongering to oversell an inflated and possibly unnecessary expenditure. What are some other less expensive solutions? First, people enjoyed the pier for decades without lights; they are not essential. The imagined electrocution hazard could be eliminated simply by disconnecting the power supply – a flick of a switch. Although the danger of a lamp standard toppling and injuring someone is probably less likely than getting hit by a re-entering satellite, that risk could be eliminated by attaching a third safety attachment to each unit, or they could be simply removed. Total cost $1,000-3,000. Geo Heath, Surrey

Long-overdue work to upgrade storm and sanitary sewer systems on Victoria Avenue will get underway this fall, following White Rock council approval of the $1 million-plus contract to do it. The work, stretching between Balsam and Finlay streets, is to include removing and/ or abandoning existing sewers and installing new service connections. Upgrades to the systems between Balsam and Fir streets are expected to go to tender next spring.

news Mark Marohn tells court animal fell in ditch on its own
Vet denies horse cruelty Dan Ferguson Black Press
Mark Marohn said he never hitched an ailing, underweight racehorse to a car in order to tow it from a ditch. The soft-spoken Langley veterinarian testified at his trial in Surrey Provincial Court on Friday. “There’s no place to tie it to the car,” he said. “It was never tied to the car.” Marohn said the car ended up in the ditch because he and his wife were returning from a trip to the post office when they spotted the horse, an emaciated gelding named “Buddy” had escaped and was heading down the road outside the Langley farm where Marohn lived. When he pulled over, Marohn said the water-soaked shoulder of the road gave way and the car slid sideways into the ditch. He left his wife Carol SchoyenMarohn in the car and chased the horse back into the farm, threw a halter on him and went back with the horse to see if his wife was okay. He was shaken, but not physically injured. When Marohn’s daughter came out to help, the horse suddenly bolted and landed in the ditch. “He went over backwards.” As Marohn and his daughter were struggling to get the horse’s leg underneath him, an RCMP officer arrived and ordered him out of the ditch. He said he was handcuffed and placed in the back of a police cruiser for a lengthy period of time before he was formally charged. Marohn and his wife were charged with animal cruelty after the 2008 incident. The attempt to rescue “Buddy” was captured exclusively by Black Press photographer John Gordon in images and video footage that provoked a storm of public outrage. The horse was euthanized at the scene. Marohn and SchoyenMarohn were each charged with two criminal charges, one of causing an animal to be in distress and one of failing to provide “necessaries” for an animal. He denies he ever admitted using the horse to tow the car and insists none of the police at the scene asked him how “Buddy” ended up in the ditch. He said “Buddy” was an injured racehorse that was due to be euthanized when his daughter and a friend rescued him, one of four horses “dumped” at the farm. Marohn said he asked the SPCA three times to take the horses, but was ignored. He also asked

Buddy the horse is pulled from a ditch in Langley in 2008. a local horse club for help in finding new homes and feeding the animals, but none was forthcoming. The events that led to his arrest and animal cruelty charges came after a series of personal setbacks that had left him virtually destitute, Marohn testified. He was left unable to work after he broke his spine in three places in April of 2000 during a vacation and when he did return to work, he could not treat large animals like horses and the number of cases had to be cut back.
His wife also developed serious health issues of her own. He successfully sued for compensation for the holiday accident, but the money didn’t arrive in time to save their house. “We were homeless,” he said. Eventually he was was able to lease a 2.5-acre farm site. He and his wife had separated by then, but when the owner sold the property, she came back to pack up her possessions. The stress had taken a toll. He was down to 128 lbs. from 193. After the story of the alleged towing became public, threats started pouring in, Marohn said. He said he has records of internet posting from people saying Marohn and his family should be killed, should be burnt, should be tied to the back of a truck an dragged until they were dead. “Were there a lot of things in my life that were down and bad and heading further down?” Marohn said. “I’d have to say they were.” The case is set to resume Oct. 11 when the judge is expected to rule on a defence application to exclude much of the evidence. Schoyen-Marohn’s trial was postponed because she suffered a stroke, and is scheduled to start in October of next year.
Dead man found in Squamish ‘targeted’ A Surrey man’s body was found near Squamish on the weekend, and police say he was a victim of a targeted killing. At about 2 p.m. Sunday, hikers found the body of William Lim Woo, 55, and called police. It was determined the victim had met
with foul play and the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) was called in to investigate. IHIT believes Woo’s death was a targeted killing and the investigation is described as being in the “preliminary stages.” Police say Woo was well known to them.

Fatal meningitis strain remains a mystery It’s possible antibiotics used to treat the ailing 15-year-old may have killed off enough of the bacteria to preclude an identification. “Nobody’s doubting that it’s a bacterial meningococcal infection,” ThorpeDorward said. “But it might be impossible to get an identification of the kind or strain.” Students, parents and guardians, and staff at the Cloverdalearea high school received a letter Sept. 22 explaining one of their classmates had passed away and that

It may never be determined which strain of bacterial meningitis claimed the life of Clayton Heights Secondary student Brandon Kurtz last month. As of last week, no new cases of the infection had been reported, Fraser Health Authority spokesman Roy Thorpe-Dorward said. Officials hadn’t confirmed the diagnosis, but hadn’t given up on identifying the precise strain.
meningitis was the suspected cause. Fraser Health does not believe there is a risk to the general student population at Clayton Heights, or the public at large. “People shouldn’t be alarmed,” ThorpeDorward said. “All the steps are being followed.” Public health nurses have now completed the task of administering preventative antibiotics to those who were known to have been in close contact with the student.
The bacteria is spread by direct contact with the saliva of an infected person, such as sharing a water bottle or a musical instrument. Anyone in close contact with the boy between Sept. 8 and 19 who has not yet gotten in touch with health officials is asked to contact the Cloverdale Public Health Unit at 604-575-5100 or HealthLinkBC at 811.

Price tag of Cloverdale shelter rises to $7.6 million
Animal-care project expanded Kevin Diakiw Black Press
The cost and scale of a new animal shelter in Cloverdale has gone up in price, partly due to a requirement to build roads to the new facility. Surrey staff appeared before council earlier last month asking for an $2.5-million increase in the budget of the Surrey Animal Care Centre, bringing the total cost to $7.6 million. The 17944 Colebrook Rd. facility was approved by council in its 2011 budget for $5.1 million. “The original budget did not include funding for offsite servicing costs of approximately $1.2 million, including both the provision of an improved access road to the site as well as sanitary sewer and water service extensions that are necessary,” a staff report to council states.

Andrew Shields tosses a ball into a plastic cup as part of his trick-shot routine, which he is hoping will help him pay his way through Vancouver Film School.
White Rock’s Andrew Shields aims to raise $30,00
Teen giving education his best shot Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
W
hen it comes to funding his postsecondary education, it could be said that Andrew Shields’ plan is a little off-the-wall. Then again, it’s also off the stairs, off the counter, off the deck, off the couch… In an effort to come up with $30,000 for a year at Vancouver Film School learning video-game design, Shields, 17, has a mind to plot, then sink, 24 ping pong trick shots. He plans to video the increasingly complex series, and post the finished product on YouTube. The idea came while brainstorming how to manage the hefty tuition with his dad and uncle. The $30,000 will come – he hopes – through sponsorship of each shot. Depending on the amount sponsored (he’s offering opportuni-
ties ranging from $150 to $7,500), Shields says he will do everything from name a sponsor on the screen to wear corporate clothing during the tricks. One platinum sponsor will also have the entire video named after their business or organization, among other perks. “The big one is the platinum,” he said. “That’s kind of the crazy one; I kinda just threw it in there.” In a video promoting his plan (www.30kpingpong.com), the White Rock resident emphasizes he’s not looking for a handout, but rather a hand up. “My parents won’t be giving me any money – which is fine, because I need to work for this,” Shields tells viewers. He’s managed to save $2,000 of his own money towards his total school tab by working part time at an ice cream and coffee shop. For the moment, the balance is on a student
line of credit. Shields is confident the exposure his ping pong video will receive will be well-worth the investment of anyone who opts to put their money on a shot. A similar video he made with friends about a year ago, has had more than 630 views on YouTube so far. And in this next venture, “we’ll have more shots, we’ll have better shots.” “It will definitely get more views,” he said. Because his school schedule is a busy one that includes some 12-hour days, Shields has set an April deadline for producing the video. He knows that completing the shots will be more about perseverance than skill. “It’s more of a talent of patience. You can stand there shooting a ping pong ball off multiple objects for hours and it can get so frustrating,” he said. “You have to figure out the angles, where you have to place the cup
and you just have to go for it.” There’s also times when it’s almost entirely about luck. Either way, after hours of trying to make a shot work, the sound of the ball finding its mark is “just the best thing,” he said. The task is much like that challenged by the Hasbro game, Cuponk, in which players must complete ping pong trick shots into a cup that lights up and makes various sound effects if the shot is successful. Shields’ said the game played no role in his idea. In fact, he hadn’t even heard of it. Word about his sponsorship idea, however, is gaining interest. So far, at least seven shots have been claimed, for a total of $1,750. “I do believe the more original part about it is what sells the idea,” he said. “It’s an original and crazy idea.” To sponsor a shot or for more information, visit www.30kpingpong.com

lifestyles After years fundraising, East Kensington Elementary gets its playground
‘Miracles happen here’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
After years of fundraising, students, parents and staff of East Kensington Elementary celebrated the grand opening of their new playground Wednesday. “We have a (Parent Advisory Council) that has worked many, many years to try and get this dream to come true and today the dream is here,” principal Susan Whyte said during an outdoor ceremony. About 60 students – the heritage school’s entire population – participated in the celebration, presenting thank-you cards to Surrey school board chair Laurae McNally, documenting the excitement on camera and helping cut a ribbon to mark the occasion. The colourful playground has been in use since the school year started, installed over the summer to replace an aging wooden one that was

McNally told students the 2795 184 St. school holds a special place in her heart, because her son also attended – about 30 years ago. “To come here today
is like coming home to me,” she said. She also told them that by sharing in the day’s events, they were adding to the school’s history. That history dates back to 1907, when a one-room schoolhouse was first built on the site. McNally told Peace Arch News the schoolground, tucked into a serene setting complete with picnic tables and surrounded by trees, is Surrey’s “best-kept secret.” Citing planned growth in the Grandview area, however, she predicted the secret would soon get out. Whyte noted the children of many families who helped fundraise for the playground have since moved on to high school. But she praised the school community for continuing the longheld tradition of working together to make things happen. “Miracles happen here,” she said.

The Creative Kids Learning Center, at 15350 34 Ave., offers junior kindergarten, preschool, before and after school care and a ready-to-read program, as well as Friday date nights, weekend family drop-in time and Sunday birthdays. “Our goal is to reach out to the families in the community and offer them as many programs as possible to utilize this amazing new centre,” owner/director Sandra Christian said. Christian described the centre as “a true labour of love from start to finish.” “I know we will be able to offer this community excellent programming, an amazing facility and caring, experienced teachers.” For more information, visit www. creativekidslearningcenters.ca

A new arrival to Peace Arch Hospital’s recently opened maternity unit will put Envision Financial’s name on a birthing suite. Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation announced Wednesday that Envision has gifted $150,000 to the new unit – a gift foundation executive director Jackie Smith said will benefit close to 1,000 families a year. “The birth of a child is a special time in a family’s life,” Smith said. “I am so pleased that Envision Financial chose to support this project, which enables
continued quality care – in a second-tonone maternity unit – for residents of this community.” Envision Financial president Bev Brown, who toured the new unit Sept. 19, said the gift is part of the credit union’s “long history of giving back to the community of Surrey.” “This project provides us with the opportunity to support an incredibly important initiative while deepening and continuing that history,” she said. Completion of the $5.3-million ward was celebrated in February.

The RCMP invited members of Ocean Park Business Association and other community organization members to take part in focus group discussions to help formulate their next Five-Year-Action Plan for the South Surrey area. An independent facilitator ran the meetings to hear our most pressing concerns including crime prevention, safety, and security. We look forward to seeing the resulting plans that arise from them. At the September meeting, both new South Surrey District 5 representatives Cpl. Bert Paquet and District Commander Sgt. Dan Gibbons came to introduce themselves to the Association membership. The OPBA will tap into RCMP expertise in order to understand “best practices” of crime prevention. “How to Deal with Shoplifters and Vandals” will be an RCMP presentation topic at the November OPBA meeting. With Ocean Park already a great place to live, work and play we intend to demonstrate a proactive approach to building a safer community for one and all.

On a more sombre note, our sincere sympathy goes out to the family, friends and colleagues of Steven Philips, owner of Ocean Park Automotive. Steven passed away on September 16, 2011. He leaves behind a well-respected reputation for terrific service, integrity and knowledge of cars along with a great sense of humour and friendly way with everyone who came into contact with him. Another great loss to the community came with the sudden passing this last week of Peace Arch News publisher, Linda Klitch. Linda was warm, friendly, energetic and smart and extremely generous to this organization and many others. She did a terrific job of informing and supporting this entire community and will be deeply missed. We offer our sympathy to her family and friends and all the people with whom she worked at the Peace Arch News and the many charities to which she gave so much time and effort.
Please join the Ocean Park Business Association at our next meeting October 13, 2011 at the Ocean Park Community Hall, 1577 128th Street, Surrey from noon to 1:15pm. Business- to-business networking with a brief meeting over light lunch will include a quick presentation by Michele Partridge on social media and specifically how to upload member information to OPBA’s Facebook.

During the last decade, 56,436 ha were added to the Despite this, in the Roy Strang reserved area, but these years before creation of numbers are misleading: the Agricultural Land in the fertile Fraser Valley Commission (ALC), 6,000 hectares of good there was a net loss of about seven per cent and farmland were taken up for “development” and in the Cowichan Valley nearly 20 per cent; the lost to food production each year. increases in area in the In response to losses, north, approximately 20 per cent in Bulkley/ the ALC was formed in 1973 and tasked with Nechako and four per cent in Kitimat/Stikine “preserving agricultural land as defined by the for examples, do not Agricultural Land Reserve represent comparable productive capacity (ALR), causing land because of lower yields due to less use within the ALR to remain favourable soils and climates. compatible with agriculture and encouraging bylaws, plans and World population is approaching seven billion, all of whom need policies that support farm use at to eat and, as they become better all levels of government.” paid, look to enjoy an enhanced So far, the ALC has focused on

diet. Meat consumption is slowly increasing and is estimated to grow at almost two per cent each year through the next decade. Meat production has increased by 20 per cent since 2000 but, because of rising feed costs, output is falling in the U.S. – currently the biggest producer. Demand for oil increases with growing affluence outpacing production, and so prices rise and with them, costs of petroleumbased chemical fertilizers and operating farm machinery. The net result is dearer food. Availability of water, so essential for crop irrigation in arid lands, is threatened by over-consumption and inefficient use with the possibility of demand exceeding supply, yet another cause of increasing cost. The controversial shift to biofuel cultivation instead of food is another factor reducing supply and
contributing to increasing food costs. While B.C. cannot hope to become self-sufficient in food production and insulate itself from world markets, it should strive to maximize local supplies and minimize import needs. To achieve this, what’s left in the ALR must be protected and preserved. B.C. farmers are already efficient producers, but further improvements should be encouraged. At the same time, buyers must be willing to pay prices which ensure efficient farmers are able, and are encouraged to, stay on the land. An additional benefit of buying local produce is known quality standards. Several diseases can move from domestic stock to humans – avian influenza (H5N1), swine flu (H1N1), foot-and-mouth disease which is quite widespread in China, bovine spongiform
encephalopathy or mad cow disease, and Rift Valley fever which can be transmitted by mosquitoes or by contact with diseased organs – all call for vigilance and awareness of the sources. Use of antibiotics in industrial farming is creditably linked to antibiotic resistance in humans: food crops such as corn or potatoes grown in fields fertilized with farm manure are a potential source of disease transfer; many pigs are known to carry methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureos (MRSA); and drug-resistant strains of Escherichia coli found in humans resemble those found in beef and poultry. These are warning signals which enhance the merits of buying local produce where quality control and health standards are high.

Lots of items that are just sitting around collecting dust in basements and jewellery boxes can be exchanged for money, on the spot!”

Perry Bruce continued, “Canadian coins prior to 1967, and American coins prior to 1964 are all made with silver, and we have noticed a large increase of customers coming to the Roadshow with coins and cashing them in for their silver value”. Experts at the Roadshow will evaluate and examine your items, FREE OF CHARGE, as well as educate you on them. The Roadshow sees hundreds of people during a one week event, and they have been travelling across Canada to different cities and towns, searching for your forgotten treasures. Trains, dolls, toys, old advertising signs, pocket watches, porcelain and bisque dolls, pretty much everything can be sold at the Roadshow. Any early edition Barbie’s are sought after by the Road-
show collectors, as well as a variety of Dinky Toys and Matchbox cars. Lionel Trains and a variety of tin toys can also fetch a price, especially if they are in their original box or in mint condition. If a collector is looking for one of your collectibles, they can always make an offer to buy it. A man brought in a 1950’s Marx Tin Toy Robot, in fairly good condition, still in its original box. They were able to locate a collector for that speciÀc toy within minutes, and that gentleman went home with over $700 for his Toy Robot and a few other small toys. So whether you have an old toy car, a broken gold chain, or a Barbie sitting in the closet, bring it down to the Roadshow, they will take a look at it for FREE and it could put money in your pocket!
See you at the roadshow!

Cities oppose new spending watchdog Jeff Nagel Black Press
B.C. mayors and councillors overwhelmingly voted Thursday to object to provincial plans to create a municipal auditor-general. Many delegates at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention said the planned watchdog on waste would itself be a waste of money. But after several suggestions to restrict the scope of the auditor’s work, delegates approved a motion to continue working with the provincial government on the project. Civic leaders are riled by the goverment’s vow to bring in the auditor to help police spending by municipalities and regional districts. Most were not appeased by provincial promises the auditor’s recommendations will be non-binding, that the office won’t meddle with civic policy and that the costs would be

Duncan. “This whole thing is driven by an agenda of the business community to have someone on the inside to bedevil the local
governments on their taxation policies.” Cities will end up shouldering the cost of their own extra staff time involved, predicted Port Alberni Coun. Jack McLeman said. “Don’t force things on us,” he said. Al Siebring, a North Cowichan delegate, said UBCM needs to work with the province on the roll-out of the auditor or else cities will have no influence on what happens. A handful of delegates spoke in support of the municipal auditor concept. “I’m not scared of a municipal auditorgeneral for our cities and I don’t see why anybody else should be,” Colwood Mayor Dave Saunders said. The resolution adopted Thursday calls the office unnecessary but endorses the UBCM executive’s policy paper on how to try to shape the outcome.

Dix blasts BC Liberals in speech Tom Fletcher Black Press
NDP leader Adrian Dix used his first speech to the Union of B.C. Municipalities Thursday to attack a series of BC Liberal moves, from imposing a municipal auditor to taking control of transit funding away from local governments. Dix also zeroed in on the B.C. carbon tax, calling for the revenues to be directed to new transit in Metro Vancouver and energy efficiency projects in rural areas. “One of the real disconnects in our society is that we establish a carbon tax, we pay a carbon tax, and none of the money from that carbon tax, not a dime, not a centime, not a ruble, goes to pay for any kind of environmental infrastructure,” Dix said. Speaking just before delegates voted on a motion objecting to
a new auditor, Dix said the province should have shown more respect for local governments by consulting them first on the cost of the auditor and the limits on its authority. Speaking to reporters after his speech, Dix said he isn’t “hostile” to the idea of additional oversight on municipal spending. Responding for the government, BC Liberal MLA John Les said he was “puzzled” why Dix criticized increased accountability for local governments. And he said he won’t take lessons from the NDP leader on consulting with local government. “I was a mayor in the ’90s, when the premier that he was directly working for said, and I quote, there is taxation room at the municipal level,” Les said. “And boy, did we get screwed over.”

Report flags trouble at sea for Fraser sockeye Jeff Nagel Black Press
File photo
A new study suggests millions of Fraser River sockeye died due to ocean conditions. ESSA’s report did note and waste from the they agreed sea lice, farms were all unlikely escaped Atlantic salmon to play a significant role.
It’s also unlikely, the report found, that Lower Mainland land use or upriver factors ranging from logging and mining to agriculture or hydroelectric projects were primary drivers of the decline. There are plenty of unanswered questions that were beyond the scope of the commission’s technical reports and therefore
weren’t considered by their teams of researchers, Marmorek noted. Large releases of hatchery fish may compete with salmon for food or attract predators to the same area, he suggests. Marmorek calls for more research on various salmon stressors, particularly in the early ocean stage. The Cohen inquiry
is in its final days of hearings, with senior officials now taking the stand from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. A final report is due next year. The judicial inquiry led by retired Judge Bruce Cohen was called by the federal government after less than 1.5 million sockeye returned in 2009, far fewer than the 10 million expected.

No single force stands out as the main culprit behind the die-off of millions of Fraser River sockeye salmon in recent years, according to findings tabled at the Cohen Commission. A new report analyzing cumulative impacts on sockeye suggests the fish most likely died at sea, not in the Fraser itself or one of its tributaries. It points to ocean conditions and climate change as two “likely” factors that may have contributed to the longterm stock decline, particularly as juvenile sockeye migrate out from the mouth of the river to Queen Charlotte Sound and beyond into the open Pacific. “It is very likely that poor marine conditions during the coastal migration life stage in 2007 contributed to the poor returns observed in 2009,” the cumulative impacts report says. It notes water temperatures were much cooler in 2008, and the better conditions for salmon may have been part of the reason for 2010’s surprisingly large run. Climate change and ocean conditions may also play a role further out at sea, it says. “Some important predators appear to be increasing in numbers and some prey are decreasing,” it notes, rating that as a “possible” contributor to declines. The report was prepared by consultants ESSA Technologies Ltd. and lead author David Marmorek testified at the commission earlier this week. His role was to distill the findings of a dozen other scientific reports conducted for the commission to probe separate potential threats to sockeye. The report found no
conclusion is possible on the impact of pathogens and diseases in the sockeye decline. It cited widely diverging scientific opinions of the inquiry’s two researchers who studied the possible role of salmon farms. They found diseases from the farms might play a role but completely disagreed in interpreting the actual evidence.

It’s your hospital. Invest in it. For all your very important reasons.
Commit to be fit You’ve read the statistics: Eighty per cent of type 2 diabetes and 90% of strokes can be prevented by making healthy lifestyle choices. No one needs to convince you of the beneďŹ ts of healthy living. However, sometimes life can get in the way; the kids get sick, there’s a family crisis or you come home from work exhausted and there goes your exercise routine. Here are some tips to help you commit to be ďŹ t:
Create a ritual: We’re all creatures of habit, with Make it fun: In order to successfully commit to making Set goals: Goals are a great motivator. Make them speciďŹ c, predictable routines we repeat every day. That’s why, in order to successfully integrate exercise into your life, you need to make it part of your daily rituals. Try tucking a brisk walk, a run or a ďŹ tness class into your morning before the phone starts ringing and the e-mails begin to pour in, or make it a habit to go for a walk before dinner. The more you make exercise part of your daily routine, the more likely you are to stay with it.
Recruit a partner: It’s in our nature to be social. Exercising with a friend or spouse is often far more fun than doing it alone. A partner can also provide that extra bit of motivation to get up and go, especially on those days when (left to your own devices) you’d be less inclined to lace up your runners.
exercise part of your life over the long term you need to ďŹ nd activities you truly enjoy. Try a wide variety of activities, like yoga, cycling, hiking, kayaking, cardio workouts, dance or weight training to ďŹ nd out what works for you.
reasonable and achievable, and share them with your exercise partner(s), so they can help you stay focused and give you a reason to celebrate your victories along the way.
you’ve broken your ďŹ tness routine. What happened? Why did you stop? Didn’t you enjoy the activity? Did you feel self-conscious at the gym? Did it take too much time? Did the kids get sick? Once you’ve isolated the problem, it’s easier to ďŹ nd the solution. For example, if the kids get sick, give yourself permission to take one week off and get right back into your routine at the end of the week.
for the whole family. You can run. You can walk. And you can continue to run or walk with your new commitment to be ďŹ t. Funds raised at this October 23rd event will beneďŹ t Peace Arch Hospital.

news Proposed system ‘a slippery slope’ says Clark
Premier kills idea of MSP surcharge on smokers Jeff Nagel Black Press
Premier Christy Clark has blocked Health Minister Mike de Jong’s idea of charging smokers higher MSP premiums to reflect the extra burden they put on B.C. health care system. “I don’t support it,� the premier said Friday, two days after de Jong told Black Press he was “seriously looking� at the idea. Clark said it’s a slippery slope to start charging higher MSP premiums based on people’s personal behaviour. “People pay more taxes because they pay taxes on cigarettes,� Clark said. She added that if the government needs to raise more revenue from smokers, it should raise taxes on tobacco. B.C. is already getting more revenue from tobacco since July 2010 when the harmonized sales tax took effect, increasing the price by seven per cent because the provincial sales tax did not apply to tobacco here. Reverting back to the GST/ PST system would mean tobacco taxes go back down unless B.C. opts to raise its separate tax on tobacco.
Christy Clark Premier
Mike de Jong Health Minister
De Jong raised the notion of an MSP surcharge on smokers in a panel discussion at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. He gave no details, calling it a concept under exploration. “I think smokers would be upset to be singled out,� de Jong said. “But we want them to be upset because they are engaged in a behaviour that is costing the rest of society billions of dollars. De Jong raised the issue as he outlined government plans to carve money out of existing health spending to fund new initiatives to prevent chronic illness and reduce long-term costs. B.C. already spends nearly $100 million a year on health promotion and disease prevention.
Victoria’s latest move is to fully fund nicotine patches and other smoking cessation aids. Smokers will no longer have the excuse of not being able to afford to pay for help to quit smoking, de Jong said, adding the $15 million required will come from other parts of the health budget. More than 300 people signed up in the first hours as the new program launched Friday. Smokers make up just 14 per cent of the B.C. population – the lowest rate in Canada – but de Jong said cutting that to 12 or 10 per cent would still save billions of dollars. He said there’s no new money to fund disease prevention initiatives, so cash must come from other health spending, adding that may mean difficult decisions ahead. B.C.’s health budget has climbed from $4.8 billion in 1990, when it made up 32 per cent of all government spending, to $16 billion now or 45 per cent. “We keep plundering other budgets to feed an insatiable appetite in health care,� de Jong said. “We are going to have to live within our means in health care and actually shift the emphasis.�

Women firefighters wanted Women interested in a career firefighting are invited to have a trial run at the physical test next week, as part of efforts to better their odds when it comes time for the real thing. Tim Dykeman, Surrey Fire Services’ recruitment co-ordinator, said the Oct. 11 session at the 14901 64 Ave. training facility is a chance for all prospective firefighters to go through the drill and figure out what they need to work on in order to pass the test. But the hope is it will draw women who may be intimidated by the physical test. That
component of the hiring process tends to be more trying for women than men, he said. “The physical’s a really challenging part of the whole process,” Dykeman said. “We find we do tend to lose disproportionately more women in the physical testing than we do men.” Dykeman said women also tend to be less likely to even consider a career as a firefighter. As children, it’s an occupation that tends to be more impressed upon boys. “Whether they’re coming from another country or they’re a

With Surrey Eagles forwards on the doorstep, Langley Rivermen goaltender Jim Kruger tries to smother a loose puck near his crease during Friday’s game at South Surrey Arena.
Morley brothers pace Surrey’s offensive attack on weekend
Top line leads Eagles to pair of victories Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
The Zamboni was about the only thing misfiring at South Surrey Arena last weekend, as the Surrey Eagles added two more victories to their early season total, beating the Langley Rivermen 2-1 and Coquitlam Express, 5-1. “We’re pretty happy with how things went. It’s nice to get four points,” said Surrey Eagles head coach Matt Erhart. “And one of our goals this season
was to be a strong defensive team – especially early in the season – and to only allow two total goals, that’s pretty good.” Friday night’s contest – Surrey’s third straight against Langley to start the BC Hockey League season – was delayed by about 30 minutes after the Zamboni stalled and had to be pushed off the ice surface. But the delay did little to slow either team’s game, as they combined for 27 first-period shots, although no goals, as both netminders – Sur-
rey’s Andrew Hunt and Langley’s Jim Kruger stood tall. The Eagles took a 2-0 lead in the middle frame when Brandon Morley – playing on a line with brother Tyler and rookie Sean McGovern – potted a short-handed tally at the 2:56 mark, and McGovern extended the lead 11 minutes later with a goal of his own; both Morleys drew assists. Surrey’s two-goal cushion held up until the 15:43 mark of the third period, when Rivermen’s Derek
Sutcliffe scored a short-handed marker, but it was all the offence the visitors could muster. “Langley plays a really solid defensive game, and because it was our third straight time playing each other, I think both teams made adjustments, which is why there weren’t a lot of goals,” offered Erhart. The Morley-McGovern-Morley line struck again in a big way Saturday against the Express, led by Tyler Morley’s two-goal, two-assist
performance. Brandon Morley and McGovern each chipped in two two assists each. “That line was really good for us. We put them together in the last pre-season game and it’s worked well so far. They can really skate, and it’s nice that they’ve found some chemistry early in the season,” Erhart said. “Tyler had a really great game Saturday, and Friday, Brandon had the Gordie Howe hat-trick – a goal, see page A34

White Rock pitcher Zachary Campagne winds up during provincials on Vancouver Island in August. White Rock finished seventh at provincials and last month was fourth at a Las Vegas tournament.
Riptide fourth in Las Vegas Playing against mostly highlevel American competition, the White Rock Riptide bantam AAA baseball team placed fourth in their age group at last month’s Triple Crown Fall Nationals baseball tournament. Playing in the eight-team bantam (14-15 year olds) division, White Rock was led by its cadre of pitchers, including Scott Doucet, who pitched five innings of onerun ball in a pivotal quarter-final tilt against another B.C. team, the Langley X-Gaps. Colton Ranson pitched the final two innings in that contest, and White Rock won 11-4. Later that same day, however, the Riptide’s run was halted when they lost to a squad from San
Diego – the defending tournament champions who had yet to lose a game in this year’s event. Overall, White Rock went 2-1 in the round-robin, and then advanced all the way to semifinals before losing to San Diego, who went on to win it all for a second consecutive year. More than 200 teams in a variety of divisions competed in the tournament, which ran Sept. 16-18. Other Riptide players who performed well in Vegas included Daniel Cassino, Zachary Campagne, Liam Rihela and Dylan Yeager, the latter of whom paced the Riptide with a handful of extra-base hits throughout the three-day event.
Infielder Shayne Clark and James Pavelick, Jake Gill, Jake Rogers-MacDonald, Dylan MacAhonic and Tom Melenchuk – all of whom excelled in the outfield and as relief pitchers – also played well, the coaching staff said. In mid-August, White Rock’s bantam crew finished seventh at provincials on Vancouver Island, and though they did not make the championship round-of-four, they did manage a 4-3 upset victory over the third-seeded team from Abbotsford in the event’s opening game. Provincials were won by Victoria, who defeated Vancouver in the title tilt. - Nick Greenizan

He cited an inability to execute set plays, and a lack of discipline – “We took 16, 17 penalties,” he said – as other reasons for the loss. “It was a collective group of errors,” he said.

Eagles preparing for three-game road trip from page A31 an assist and a fight.” Other Eagles to find themselves on the scoresheet Saturday were first-year Bird forwards Charles Orzetti and Brandon Tanev, who scored the team’s first two goals, and defenceman Steve Koshey. Fellow blue-liner Beau Orser had two assists. Also impressive was the goaltender Hunt, in his first year as the Eagles’ starter after a season spent as a backup. The 19-year-old Surrey native stopped 38 shots en route to first-star honours Friday, and stopped 33 of 34 the following night.
Though it’s just four games into the season, Hunt sits third among goalies in save-percentage (.952) and has been been between the pipes for all three Surrey wins. “I’ve always been a real big fan of Andrew, and I knew he’d be able to have success at this level,” said Erhart. “But so far, and I think he’d be the first to tell you this, a lot of the shots he’s been facing have been from the outside, or they’re one-and-done shots because the rebounds have been getting cleared. “We’ve done a real good job in front of him so far.”

The Eagles, 3-1 through the BCHL’s first two weekends, get set this weekend for a three-games-in-three-nights road trip to Vancouver Island. They play Cowichan Friday, Victoria Saturday, and wrap things up against the Nanaimo Clippers Sunday afternoon at Frank Crane Arena. Though the trip is a grind, Erhart said it will be a good eye-opener some of the team’s new players, many of whom haven’t experienced such a schedule before. “It’ll be a good test for the guys, for sure, but it’s the right time of year to get out on the road,” he said.

FAMILY ANNOUNCEMENTS 7
OBITUARIES
TRUSSELLE, Marjorie Doris It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our mother, grandmother, great grandmother, friend, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nanaâ&#x20AC;? to many on Thursday, September 22, 2011 at Mountain View Manor, Delta. Marjorie was born October 29, 1921 in Hereford, England, and immigrated to Canada with her husband, their two daughters and her mother in 1955. She became a proud and loyal Canadian citizen in 1962 and was steadfast and strong in her â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canadianâ&#x20AC;? nationalism and pride. Predeceased by her devoted husband, Harri, (1993) her sister, Evelyn, and her brother, Harry, Marjorie leaves to mourn her two older brothers, Albert and Bill (England) and her loving family. Marjorie is survived and remembered with love by her three daughters: Marilyn (Roly), Sheila (John), and Andrea (David); her much loved eight grandchildren: Daryn (Carole), Craig (Heidi), Kerry (Ronaele), Chrissann (Jamie), Sara, Patricia, Maeve and Sean; her 7 beloved great grandchildren and her goddaughter, Barbara. Marjorie adored children and found many ways to extend her love beyond her immediate family, often caring for children who needed her extra special love and attention. She exemplified the definition of community spirit as she gave generously of her time and her abilities to those less fortunate than herself. All who had the privilege of knowing her will remember her stamina, her determination and her adventurous spirit. Honouring Marjorieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wishes, there will be no service. If friends, so desire, donations may be made in Marjorieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory to the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital Foundation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Together Foreverâ&#x20AC;?

COMING EVENTS
PRIVATE School for Children with Learning Disabilities and/or ADHD Opening in Surrey, British Columbia. Eaton Arrowsmith School (EAS) is opening a branch of their school in Surrey, British Columbia in September 2012. Currently, Eaton Arrowsmith School has branches in Vancouver and Victoria. The school is designed to improve the cognitive functioning of children with learning disabilities and/or attention disorders. Known as neuroplasticity, this improvement of cognitive functioning involves a regimen of cognitive exercises. These exercises, in turn, alter the brainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neuronal structure and reorganize neural networks and their functions. This results in significantly reduced need for academic support and accommodations. The Arrowsmith School was recently named â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Most Innovative Special Education Schoolâ&#x20AC;? by Sharpbrains.com 2010 Innovation Awards in neuroscience. The Arrowsmith Program is now being utilized in schools across North America. Information Sessions for EAS Surrey will take place at the following locations and dates: October 15th, Saturday - Northview Golf & Country Club - 6857 - 168th Street, Surrey 10 am to 12 pm - November 30th, Wednesday - Ocean Prominade Hotel, 15611 Marine Drive, White Rock - 7 pm to 9 pm - January 24th, Wednesday - Hazelmere Golf & Country Club - 18150 8th Avenue, Surrey - 7 pm to 9 pm. Please RSVP for the information session contact Yuki Ihara at 604-264-8327 or email at reception@eatonarrowsmithschool.com. For anyone interested in more information about EAS Surrey please contact Sandra Heusel, Director of Admissions EAS Vancouver and EAS Surrey at 604264-8327 or sheusel@eatonarrowsmithschool.com

In Canada, one woman in nine will be afflicted with this type of cancer during her lifetime. This is why it is so important to raise awareness of the ways to prevent this disease from developing.
Healthy summer skin, all winter long
T
hough the long, warm days of summer are now a thing of the past, it doesn’t mean it’s time to bid farewell to the healthy, warm glow our skin maintains over the summer months. There are plenty of options on the Semiahmoo Peninsula for postsummer skin treatments – whether you’re looking to correct some damage caused by too much time spent in the sun, or you’re hoping to extend the fresh, healthy look that comes with summer. Pure Laser Centre on 24 Avenue offers a range of treatments that are perfect for post-summer skin. In particular, they recommend a silk peel infusion for deep exfoliation of the skin, which can help eliminate dead skin cells, blackheads, whiteheads and treat brown spots. It’s also a great option to ‘clean the slate’ after a summer of sunscreen use. In addition to exfoliation, the treatment infuses a serum into the skin, specifically chosen and tailored based on a patient’s skin type. Dr. Strauts, of Cosmetic Laser and Vein Clinic on 152 Street, suggests that patients first make sure they have an appropriate moisturizer and cleanser for the changing weather conditions this time of year. He then recommends patients take a look at any sun damage that may have developed over the summer and explore options for treatment. “During the summer, people acquire sun spots, different brown pigmentations and so on,” Strauts explained. “Once the tan wears off, people can get skin peels, microderm abrasion and intense pulse light (IPL), or a combination of treatments.” To best treat abnormal pigments, Strauts said it’s best to use a chemical peel or microderm abrasion to exfoliate the tissue, which will allow for better access with the light-based therapy. “As you age, you get more of this abnormal pigmentation reaction,” he said. “Staying on top of it is a form of prevention, and keeps the skin nice and smooth and uniform in pigment, which usually looks younger and more vibrant.” Another important thing to remember over the winter months, according to Strauts, is that the amount of natural Vitamin D we are getting is greatly reduced with the change in weather. “Especially those people who tend to get a little bit depressed in winter time, it’s important they supplement themselves with Vitamin D.”

With technology in the field becoming more and more advanced each year, local orthodontic offices are giving Peninsula residents plenty to smile about these days. Dr. Jay Nagamatsu, of White Rock Orthodontics, recently attended a conference of the Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontics, where he said there was plenty of exciting new technology to take in. One of the most exciting advancements in the world of orthodontics over the past few years has been the development of interactive computer software that allows doctors to digitize and scan patients’ teeth. “It allows us to use a computer to design where the braces go and predict what somebody’s smile will look like afterwards,” Nagamatsu explained. This cutting-edge technology allows for a customized smile for each and every patient, and makes the diagnosis, treatment planning and implementation faster, easier and more convenient. Another area that has come leaps and bounds in the world of orthodontics is the use of X-rays, which are now available completely digitally. Not only does this cut down the amount of radiation a patient is exposed to during the scanning process, it also allows for the images to be stored on computers as opposed to hard copy, which eliminates any chemicals previously used for development. At White Rock Orthodontics, Nagamatsu and his colleagues have computers at each chair, which allows the
A great smile is easier than ever to achieve with cutting-edge orthodontic technology. team to pull up any photos, X-rays and patient history they might need, cutting back on paper work. While orthodontic technology has come a long way over the past few decades, so has the demographics of patients seeking treatment to improve their smiles. Nagamatsu said their practice treats patients of all ages – including some well into their 70s and 80s. “If the teeth are in good condition and the gums and bone are in a good state, there’s no reason why we can’t treat them,” he said. However, he did note that the earlier they are able to see patients for an initial diagnosis, the easier the solutions will likely be. “We do like to see kids around seven years old, because if there’s some sort of issue at that time, if we can correct it at an earlier age, it saves us a lot of time when they do need braces.”

Soups, salad dressings, flours and even baked goodies such as brownies and cookies are also available for those seeking gluten-free options. The store also carries gluten-free personal-care products, such as body wash, conditioner and moisturizer, for people
whose gluten intolerance also causes skin irritations. Antony said that with the increased awareness about gluten-intolerance issues comes a higher demand for products, both for gluten-sufferers and friends and family looking to accommodate their dietary needs. “Not a day goes by that we don’t have a glutenfree customer coming in,” he said. “People are starting to ask questions about their diets and are willing to make some changes.”

Conventional orthotics do not support the arch, but use a wedge shape under the heel to affect foot position.
While 10 years ago, the term ‘gluten intolerance’ wouldn’t mean a lot to most people, today, it’s a phrase that many Canadians are all too familiar with. Whether diagnosed with celiac disease – a severe intestinal condition – or merely suffering from a sensitivity to gluten, many people are forced to steer clear of the protein composite, found in anything processed from wheat, barley and rye. According to Jason Antony, owner of Antony & Sons Inspired Foods at Elgin Corners, gluten is found in much more than just bread and pasta. Personal-care products, dressings, cereal and sauces are just a few examples of items that can spell trouble for those with an intolerance to gluten. “Luckily for people who have been diagnosed in the last three to five years, there’s so much more in the way of products coming out,” Antony said. First and foremost, Antony said he always highlights the importance of plenty of fresh, organic produce, which gluten sufferers would have no

Mind, body and soul New yoga class speci¿cally for women with breast cancer It’s been practised for centuries as a way to improve one’s physical, mental and spiritual well-being, and now a new local yoga class is aiming to help women dealing with breast cancer. Live Yoga at Five Corners introduced the special program late last month – a yoga class designed to increase participants’ range of motion, flexibility, strength and sense of well-being through postures, breath work and meditation. Instructor Carol Wray was inspired to introduce the class at the White Rock studio after assisting with a similar class in Vancouver in the spring. She said the class takes a multi-faceted approach to help women dealing with breast cancer to feel better. “I recognize that women need a safe place to be and to learn to support themselves as well as have the support of each other,” Wray said. “It’s also a place where they can learn to relax, by doing some breath work.” The class also includes a physical component – one that can be modified to fit the needs of individual participants. “I believe that when we’re facing something like breast cancer in our lives, we need to be strong,” she said. One class participant, who preferred her name not be used, said she first started taking yoga classes more than a year ago, as a way of learning to relax from the stresses of radiation and chemotherapy. Since then, she has noticed a remarkable physicial and emotional improvement and admitted she is now

Carol Wray instructs a class at Live Yoga. “addicted” to practising yoga. “I feel like I’ve come so much further than I expected, and it has just given me so much confidence,” she said. The class is open to women in any stage of their battle with breast cancer, as long as they are at least three weeks post-surgery. Wray said she hopes to instruct another session in the new year, maintaining an emphasis on self care. “Yoga is effective. It is not a cure, but it can relieve pain, lessen fear and generally transform how you see the world.” To find out more visit www.liveyoga.ca or call 604-961-9545.

Dr. Z Strauts M.D.B.Sc Why Suffer in Vein? At the Vein and Laser Clinic in Windsor Square, Dr Z. Strauts, a phlebologist or more simply, a vein doctor, with 18 years experience, offers the most modern diagnostic and therapeutic modalities for the treatment of unsightly and symptomatic veins. Venous problems are common, affecting one in three women and one in seven men. The tendency to have veins is inherited but people with jobs that involve prolonged standing with little walking or jobs which involve a lot of squatting such as with floor laying and even gardening, are more prone to developing symptomatic veins. Pregnancy, due to increased pelvic pressure often results in dilated veins. After delivery, these veins may normalize but as women age, vessel walls may weaken enough to cause venous incompetence.
that signal more serious underlying venous disease. Symptoms may include “restless legs”, heaviness, aching particularly at the end of the day and with prolonged standing, “tiredness”, and muscle cramping. Some veins are symptomatic but not visible at the surface. Testing equipment such as Duplex and color flow ultrasound are essential tools that help a phlebologist sort out the often complex anatomy and pathology. Treatment of veins that are damaged yet are below the skin surface can be aided by Duplex ultrasound. The target vessel is clearly seen as it is treated by injection or fiber optic laser treatment. The process of patient evaluation therefore starts with taking a thorough history followed by visual inspection, Doppler examination and where necessary, mapping with duplex color flow ultrasound. Treatment is then planned according to the individual patient’s needs. This may include the following: COMPRESSION SCLEROTHERAPY - For small veins such as spider veins, a sclerosing agent is injected into the veins through a very fine needle. Multiple injections may be needed. A pressure wrap or stocking is applied and maintained for one to three days. For larger veins, the solution is stronger and when veins are below the surface, the injection is guided by ultrasound, DUPLEX GUIDED SCLEROTHERAPY. The more recent process of “foaming” the solution has improved efficacy.
The underlying pathology is damage to valves which are located within veins and help support venous blood flow back to the heart. When valves are damaged, pressure builds up stretching veins not only in thickness but also in length. That causes bulging and the twisted appearance seen in more severe cases on the surface. Increasing pressure may cause the dark pigment from blood to be deposited in the skin particularly in the lower legs and ankles where pressure is the greatest. Spider veins may be an early sign of increasing underlying pressure and should be thoroughly examined especially when symptoms are present. In extreme cases, fat atrophy, thinning of skin and ulceration may occur. Trapping of blood in surface vessels may cause inflammation or phlebitis. When it occurs in deeper veins, blood clotting or thrombosis may occur. This condition is known to plague travellers or truck drivers where prolonged sitting and dehydration are contributing factors.
AMBULATORY MICROPHLEBECTOMY This treatment uses fine hooks that draw the vein out through a small 1-2mm puncture in the skin. This is done under surface anaesthesia and leaves no scars. Often these same veins may be injected rather than removed.
Veins may therefore be simple spider veins that are purely a cosmetic problem or more complicated larger truncal or branch veins
LIGATION - Tying the vein off with a suture, a surgical procedure. The recurrence rate of about 30 % is the same as injection.
SURFACE LASER TREATMENT - Various lasers can be used to treat small spider veins as long as pressures are low or where they are not being fed by larger deeper veins.
STRIPPING STRIPP PIN ING G - This Thi iis a surgical i l procedure d performed in hospital on large incompetent veins that would not be treatable by more conservative non-surgical treatments. COMRESSION STOCKINGS - This approach helps relieve discomfort but does not cure the problem. Compression stocking can help prevent the development and progression of venous disease in high risk patients. EVLT- ENDOVENOUS LASER TREATMENT - This is the latest and most effective treatment for large vein disease. It has a recurrence rate of less than 2-5%. It involves the use of a fibre optic fibre that is threaded into the vein under local anaesthesia and under duplex ultrasound visualization. The vein is then bathed with liquid anaesthetic under pressure and the laser is turned on as the fibre is slowly drawn out. The vein is ablated or welded shut from the inside. The procedure is painless and there is no down time. A compression bandage and stocking are applied and maintained for about one week. The patient is encouraged to walk and stay mobile. Dr. Strauts provides these innovative approaches to managing his vein patients. Patients can either be referred in or are welcome to make appointments on their own. Consultations are generally covered by the medical plan. The clinic also provides laser treatments for treatment of skin problems and aesthetics which Dr. Strauts has incorporated into his practice over the past 15 years.

‘I will forever be a survivor’ South Surrey’s Laureen Pope using her breast cancer battle to help other women
L
ike many women who juggle busy lives of a family and career, Laureen Pope used to put her own needs on the backburner much of the time. With a young daughter and a full-time job at a Vancouver brokerage firm, the South Surrey resident – nicknamed ‘Lolo’ – admited she never made a lot of time for herself, especially when it came to her own health and well-being. In the fall of 2008, she began to feel physical and emotional signs that something in her body wasn’t quite right – in the form of dreams that she was sick, and increased fatigue. But it wasn’t until Pope received an unexpected visit one night in March 2009 that she realized she needed to seek medical help immediately. “I had gone to bed that night, and my granny, who has been passed away for eight years, came and sat at the end of my bed,” Pope explained. “She said, ‘Lolo, you are very sick. Promise me you’ll go to the doctor.’” Pope woke up that night and got up for a drink of water, when she noticed a big lump on the right side of her upper chest that hadn’t been there hours before. She showed the lump to her husband, Martin, who insisted she visited the family doctor the next day. By the next morning, the lump had gone down in size a bit, and by the time Pope visited the doctor at the end of the day, it was completely gone. “He must have thought I was crazy,”

Laureen Pope has been breast cancer-free for two years and now helps other women. she said, noting that at this point, she knew she needed to get checked out further. “I told him about my dream. I just said, ‘look, you need to give me a mammogram. I know I’m only 39, but please give me a mammogram.’” Pope was sent for a mammogram a few weeks later, and after a detailed screening, a small lump was found on the side of her left breast. After going back for a biopsy, she met

CUSTOMER APPRECIATION DAY Thurs., Oct. 27, 2011 9am - 8pm CHEMICAL FREE SKIN HEALTH Healthy skin is a balance between the probiotic microbiome on it and the chemicals in skin care products that can destroy it. Like the flora in our gut, the flora on the skin thrives naturally. Cleaning our skin is essential to good health. Destroying it with antibacterial agents and chemicals designed into skin care products changes the balance. This change can and does result in many skin disorders. These chemicals and bactericides are in most personal care, household and even prescription products. Designed for safety, they just may be killing the ecosystem on our skin. Our skin is our largest and most vulnerable organ. Love it and it will love you. Protect it and it will protect you. Abuse it and it will shorten your life. There have been more chemicals developed in the last twenty years than in all of humankind. Of the thousands of chemicals in use in the cosmetic, personal care and household products industry, less than 1% has been tested for safety. A few years ago, I read that more than 60% of Americans claim to have a skin disorder. Connection? Probably! There are no US Government regulations for cosmetics or skin care products. What Bob has come to believe is that many skin disorders are misdiagnosed and are probably caused by chemicals in the products we use every day. An unlikely title? Not really! When you read this book, the title will become very appropriate and clear to you. It is clearly possible to reduce the chemical body burden, but it takes work. This book is a perspective on the chemical world we live in and why Bob believes all of us should be concerned for our lives and the lives of our families, friends and the animals that share our lives. This book is not intended to scare you, although it might. It is really to draw attention to what our lives have become and the chemicals, companies and products that rule it. It is about having a choice and making choices that improve our lives. Bob Root is the chief scientist for Keys Care. He is the author of Chemical-Free Skin Health and numerous articles on natural solutions for skin disorder and natural beauty.

Flax Oil vs. Fish Oil: The Consumer’s Guide to Omega-3s “Omega-3” has become a buzzword in everyday language; and in the health food industry, everyone is talking about our two best supplemental sources of omega-3 fatty acids – flaxseed oil and fish oil. When the omega-3s are allowed to take their rightful positions on every cell membrane in the body, their positive impact on cell, tissue, and organ function is profound, affecting even the expression of genes in nuclear DNA. Consequently, the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids are so wide-ranging that even the US Food and Drug Administration has been compelled to acknowledge the mountain of evidence supporting the essential role omega-3s play in maintaining optimal wellness. Yet, for a number of reasons, there remains a great deal of confusion about the pros and cons of flax oil and fish oil. Although the benefits of flax and fish for every organ system are quite similar, each product has its own valued place among options for consumers and their healthcare providers to consider. Undeservedly, flaxseed oil, the Cinderella of omega-3 sources, has been wrongfully maligned as inferior to fish oil and of no value in human nutrition. Setting the record straight is long overdue. Join Dr. Herb Joiner-Bey, a scholar in the field of human nutrition who values both flax and fish for a candid, provocative, open-minded, in-depth discussion that compares and contrasts dietary omega-3 sources in clear terms that will resolve much of the ambiguity around these issues. After your questions are answered, you will leave this presentation as a much more empowered consumer, better prepared to make wiser, informed choices as to which omega-3 products are best for you and your family. Foundations for Better Health With all the information available on Omega3s and Essential Fatty Acids, choosing the right one for yourself and your family can be overwhelming. Join Dr Herb Joiner-Bey, author of The Healing Power of Flax, for a discussion into the benefits of flax and fish oils, and explore some of the new research available, and what it means for your health. Dr. Herb Joiner - Bey is a unique voice for holistic living and natural wellness. Dr. Bey serves as an adjunct professor in naturopathic medicine (including therapeutic nutrition, botanical medicine, and classical homeopathy), as well as a medical / scientific consultant for manufacturers in the nutriceutical industry. He has conducted countless acclaimed seminars and presentations for health professionals and the public across the United States and the United Kingdom.
