Root rot takes toll in Sunnyside Acres Urban Forest

Diseased trees a hazard for park users Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Root rot has once again reared its head in Sunnyside Acres Urban Forest.

And the threat of trees falling from the damage has the City of Surrey advising those who frequent the forest’s bike park and trails to stay away on windy days.

Signs warning of the potential for trees to

fall were erected throughout the forest, parks manager Owen Croy confirmed Tuesday.

“Typically, we don’t want people in forested areas when the winds come up,” Croy said.

“In this particular case, because these trees can be uprooted more easily… it’s a good idea to stay off the trails when the wind is high.”

The presence of Phellinus weirrii, or laminated root rot, in the 200-hectare forest is not

new. Extensive efforts to curb its spread north of 24 Avenue were undertaken in 2003.

The extent of the problem in an area south of 24 Avenue and west of the South Surrey Rec Centre, however, was realized last spring. Efforts to stop that spread have been ongoing ever since.

While apparently confined to about 3.9 hectares, in the area designated as a bike

park, the disease is spreading at a rate of 15 to 20 centimetres per year, Croy said.

Addressing it is complicated because the area is an active recreational site and the disease is present in pockets of Douglas fir throughout the area, rather than en masse.

“The number of pockets is unique,” said Ron Meadley, president of Sunnyside Acres see page 4

Emergency crews respond to a pedestrian struck from behind on the train tracks Friday afternoon. He was airlifted to Royal Columbian Hospital.

Horn sounded numerous times to alert man

Foot severed in walk along the train tracks Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Repeated attempts to alert a pedestrian walking on the train tracks in White Rock Friday afternoon failed to avert tragedy.

The 41-year-old Surrey man was struck from behind by a westbound freight train in the 13800-block south of Marine Drive shortly after 1:30 p.m., losing his left leg between the knee and ankle.

Reg. 99¢ Limit 250 pots

Police say crew on the 104-car BNSF train sounded the horn “numerous” times in an effort to warn the pedestrian of the impending danger.

“It was noted that the male was seen wearing headphones, and there is speculation that he did not hear the train coming,” according to White Rock RCMP. Police are also investigating if alcohol played a role.

The man’s severed appendage was recovered and he was airlifted from the beach to Royal Columbian Hospital, where he was last listed in stable condition.

Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway owns the tracks and issues regular warnings each year, advising of the danger posed in trespassing on its property.

Monday, BNSF spokesperson Gus Melonas reiterated the message.

“We can’t encourage the public enough to be aware that trains move on any track, at any time, in any direction,” Melonas told Peace Arch News.

Melonas said that at the time of the incident, the freight train was travelling 18 miles per hour in a 35 m.p.h. zone. The train was delayed 1½ hours by the tragedy.

BNSF is investigating the incident with local authorities, he added.

About 150,000 people – a record number – turned up for Surrey’s annual Vaisakhi celebration.

Surrey celebrates with annual parade

Vaisakhi draws 150,000 About 150,000 people – more than any previous year – took to the streets of Surrey on Saturday for the annual Vaisakhi parade and celebration.

Vaisakhi is a monthlong spring celebration of the harvest. The parade, which traditionally attracts people from all over the Lower Mainland, celebrates the Khalsa, established in 1699 to fight discrimination, promote equality and uphold truth.

The parade began and

ended at Gurdwara Sahib Dasmesh Darbar on 85 Avenue near 128 Street, winding its way around the neighbourhood.

Streets in the area were closed most of the day.

Community groups, businesses and individuals handed out free food and drinks to attendees throughout the day. Carnival rides and evening fireworks capped off the weekend celebration.

The local parade is the largest outside India.

news Speculation early influx could mean more ballots cast May 2

Advance-voter turnout higher than usual Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Higher than usual traffic at advance polls in South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale this week may mean a higher local turnout in the riding for the May 2 federal election, Elections Canada returning officer Bryce Dudley said.

Eleven advance polls opened in the riding April 22, 23 and 25 collected 7,641 ballots from a cross-section of voters.

The busiest day was Easter Monday, when 3,320 voters headed to the advance polling stations, which included Sunrise School in Cloverdale, St. John’s Church and the

Elks Club in White Rock and Mount Olive Lutheran Church in South Surrey. “(The overall turnout) was higher than normal, normal being around 5,500,” he said. “Last election was less than 6,000.

About 6,000 is high, and I believe the highest ever was around 9,000.”

The higher turnout meant some delays for voters waiting to mark their ballots, Dudley acknowledged.

“There were lots of lineups,” he said. “Some people weren’t very happy, but there’s not much we can do about it.

“This indicates that we might have more people out next Monday.”

Dudley added that Elections Canada encourages workers and political party volunteers who might have difficulty finding time to vote on election day to utilize advance polls. Seniors usually wait for the mobile polls on election day, he added.

In Fleetwood-Port Kells, returning officer Denis Weiss would not release the number of advance ballots but said turnout there was also “noticeably higher” than usual.

But he said this does not necessarily mean a larger turnout on May 2.

“I think it was that there were more opportunities to vote because both Friday and Monday were holidays,” he said.

Hundreds pack Star of the Sea Hall in White Rock Wednesday to hear the views of nine South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale federal candidates.

All candidates debate

Outrage over federal coalition ‘threat’ Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

The nine candidates running in the South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale riding spoke on a wide range of topics at a second allcandidates meeting last week, touching on the economy, health care, taxes and crime.

But it was talk of a possible coalition between opposition parties that caused the biggest stir at Star of the Sea Hall Wednesday – and much of that tension came from the audience.

Moderator Jared Dreyer called order following repeated outcries by members of the 300-person crowd to comments incumbent Conservative Russ Hiebert made about the formation of an allied political group.

“The threat of a Liberal-NDP-separtist Bloc Québécois coalition is now more real than ever,” Hiebert said in his opening statement at the event.

He continued to speak over a chorus of booing and shouts of “How dare you!” “Contempt!” and “Liar!” – saying such a high-spending coalition would break up the country and put Canada’s economic recovery at risk.

“This is the stark reality that we face. There is only one way to stop the coalition, and that’s through a Conservative majority.”

After Hiebert took a seat, Dreyer spoke to the assembly, hosted by South Surrey and White Rock Chamber of Commerce.

“We know this is political, but let’s keep it in order here from everyone in the crowd.”

Some of the same more-vocal audience members were laughing moments later, when Green party candidate Larry Colero addressed Hiebert’s claims.

“The way I would like to respond to this outrageous statement is to conduct a little quiz – which Canadian prime minister is best known

Surrey-North Conservative incumbent Dona Cadman will not be making herself available for any all-candidates meetings or press interviews prior to election day, her office confirmed Monday.

“I apologize, unfortunately she’s quite busy,” a staffer at her campaign office said. “She’s been out door-knocking and talking with the public.”

Cadman pulled out of one all-candidates meeting this month a day before the event, failed to complete a community questionnaire and has refused to respond to repeated requests for media interviews.

Requests for comment as to why she’s ducking media questions were denied.

“Sadly, her schedule is quite booked since the first day of the election,” said the staffer, who refused to Dona Cadman give her name.

Despite her busy calendar, Cadman has been seen at several events including a student art show opening on April 22, a Whalley Little League game and the Party for the Planet the prior weekend.

NDP press secretary Shamus Reid said it’s not the first time he’s heard Cadman was avoiding press calls. Reid said he believes Cadman has hemmed herself into a corner by assuring her constituents she opposed the harmonized sales tax, then was absent during the vote.

Cadman told Black Press last year that she had her knuckles rapped for speaking out against the HST. “I accept my discipline,” she said.

Nina Grewal, Conservative incumbent for Fleetwood-Port Kells, also missed an all-candidates meeting due to conflicting appointments, but she has made herself available for media interviews.

Conservative candidates Mani Fallon (Newton-North Delta) and Russ Hiebert (South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale incumbent) have attended their debates and have been available to the press.

Candidates square off in debate from page 3 conscience, and not the political bantering.”

Christian Heritage Party candidate Mike Schouten said injecting civility in politics might make the field more attractive to youth and increase their participation.

Schouten said he would serve constituents with “true conservative principles.”

While Hiebert said Canada fared the economic downturn better than other G8 nations with the guidance of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Colero said the Conservatives made mistakes.

“The only thing I think they did right was to tell everyone to stay calm,” he said, noting the government should have invested in the development of green energy and alternative fuels.

Progressive Canadian Party candidate Brian Marlatt said

Trees from page 1 Heritage Society and a member of the advisory committee tasked to suggest possible solutions. “Because the pockets are so numerous… it becomes much more difficult and complicated to come up with a solution.”

Meadley said society directors are further torn by their own position, which supports allowing nature to manage the forest. Root rot, which has also been identified in Crescent Park, is part of that natural process, he noted.

And although the process has been accelerated by human actions, through the logging decades ago of the forest’s hard woods – which are resistant to the disease – the society’s stand hasn’t changed. Nonetheless, for safety sake, they reluctantly support the removal of hazardous trees, Meadley said.

“We just can’t stand back and say, ‘too bad.’

The city has a responsibility to take preventative action and we understand that,” he said.

human-induced global warming is a major concern that historically hasn’t been addressed by the Conservative government.

Marlatt said there should be a government commitment to the environment as well as other issues, such as money for autism – “an area I think Canadians have to address.”

Independent Aart Looye said voters shouldn’t let the “Conservative big boys choose your candidate,” and instead vote for himself – a conservative politician who wouldn’t have to vote the way the Conservative party tells him to.

He also took Hiebert to task over travelling expenses incurred when flying his family to Ottawa at taxpayers’ expense.

“Where are the Air Miles Russ got flying first class? Give us a straight answer, and what else are

we paying for?”

Hiebert focused the attention on commitments the Conservative government has made for the future, such as continuing to strengthen the economy, cracking down on crime and reducing taxes further.

He said that during his time in Parliament, he has brought federal funding to the community for parks, sidewalks, a border crossing, highway improvements, the White Rock Museum and Archives and the Centre for Active Living.

Staub claimed Hiebert was taking credit for infrastructure projects started before his election, and Hiebert fired back, saying he met with White Rock city council to identify priorities in the community before fighting for the projects in Ottawa.

An eagle feeds two baby eaglets in its South Surrey nest. The two birds hatched last week.

Eaglets hatch on webcam Jeff Nagel Black Press

Two new baby eaglets hatched last week at a nest in Ocean Park, delighting online viewers watching via webcam.

Viewers will be able to watch the parents feed the new eaglets until they fledge in about 12 weeks.

The first egg hatched Wednesday evening, followed by the second one Thursday night.

The opportunity to watch the local eaglets is courtesy of two live web cameras installed by the Hancock Wildlife Foundation.

There was some trepidation after the first hatch, as observers on the foundation’s discussion forum said it appeared the baby eaglet was weak after a traumatic and somewhat premature hatch.

One of the parents is believed to have broken the egg open early Wednesday evening as it tried to defend the nest against an intruding bird harrassing them.

“I hope it shows more zip in the morning or it might be a goner,” fretted one poster.

By Thursday morning, however, the baby eaglet was quite active and trying to sit upright.

“Bobbing his head in the approved manner – feel a lot happier about this now,” said the poster.

The foundation also has eaglecams set up at nests in Tsawwassen, Ladner, Sidney and the Lafarge cement plant in Vancouver.

The foundation –

established by South Surrey conservationist David Hancock – expects a record number of visitors to the website this year,

well beyond the 1.5 million who tuned in in 2010.

REVERSAL OF STOPPING DIRECTION

Walking Day

The City of Surrey is planning some changes at the intersection of 17 Avenue and 146 Street. Presently, traffic on 17 Avenue must stop for traffic on 146 Street. Traffic analysis has shown that the volume of traffic on 17 Avenue significantly exceeds the traffic volume on 146 Street. It is safer for those streets with lower volumes to be required to stop. For that reason, the stopping direction will be reversed so that traffic on 146 Street will be required to stop.

To maintain safety and minimize driver confusion, the changeover will be undertaken in 3 phases: Phase 1

Notification Signage Erected

April 18, 2011

Phase 2

Temporary All-Way Stop

May 2 - June 1, 2011

Phase 3

Removal of 17 Avenue Stop Signs

June 1, 2011

Additional signage and pavement markings will be installed before and during the changeover.

This analysis was done as part of a pilot project for cycling Neighbourhood Routes, which are routes through local roads connecting neighbourhoods through Surrey. The pilot project connects the Semiahmoo area to Ocean Park. 17 Avenue at 146 Street is part of this east-west route, which will be facilitated by the inversion of the stopping direction as well.

Please use extra care at this intersection as people get used to the changes and new operation.

For more information, please contact the City at 604-591-4853 or cycling@surrey.ca.

editorial

Straight talk about the Bloc ne of the best things that has happened in the 2011 federal election campaign has been the willingness of other political parties to speak honestly and openly about the Bloc Quebecois, and why it is not entitled to even a scrap of power in the federal government.

While Conservative Leader Stephen Harper has been the most forceful about the Bloc’s aim being to break up the country, both Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff and NDP Leader Jack Layton have also been more honest about the Bloc.

Both have said they would not be part of any coalition with the Bloc, which is very different from what happened after the 2008 federal election, when the Liberals and NDP signed a formal coalition agreement, and the Bloc agreed in writing to support it for a fixed period.

If voters in Quebec choose to vote for the Bloc and, in some ridings, elect Bloc MPs, that is their right.

We live in a democracy and candidates from all sorts of perspectives run in every riding across the country.

However, MPs who are committed to taking Quebec out of the country and, as recently as last weekend, pledged to do everything within their power to assist the provincial Parti Quebecois in doing so, should not have their hands even close to the levers of power.

By definition, they want Canada to fail. They want to show Quebeckers that a federal system does not work.

The Bloc should be a spent force.

It formed after the failure of the Meech Lake Accord and, at the time, had some legitimacy. Meech’s failure and the rejection of the Charlottetown Accord angered many Quebeckers.

But that was more than 20 years ago. The only reason the Bloc still thrives is because of federal subsidies to political parties. It raises minimal funding on its own, and wins many of its seats by virtue of splitting the vote.

Polls show that only about one-third of Quebeckers support separation.

The best way to have those numbers fall further is by working on positive initiatives which help all parts of the country, and by other parties pledging to have no truck nor trade with the Bloc.

173 responding idea. He’s been wandering the country promising to remove GST from heating bills, a $700 million tax cut that would help the rich as much as the poor.

Surely BC NDP Leader Adrian Dix would not approve of such a regressive tax shift.

(Presumably Layton has been briefed by now that B.C.’s portion of the HST doesn’t apply to heating bills, so he won’t confuse us with Ontario any more.)

Dix talks about HST falling on small business. There is an impact on service businesses, notably restaurants, but ask a self-employed person or small business operator if they’d like to go back to administering two different sales taxes.

Quarterly HST rebate cheques went out last week to more than a million B.C. residents at the lowest end of the income scale.

Ask those people if they’d like to lose that benefit, a real example of the kind of income equalizing measure that Dix calls his top priority.

Ask a laid-off mill employee if he’d like to go back to work, and pay HST on movies and a dinner out.

• Further to last week’s column about Dix’s plan to raise corporate tax rates, I now regret referring to his program as “Marxism Lite.”

I fell for his strident rhetoric about taxing big corporations. His proposal amounts to raising the tax on corporate net income in excess of $500,000 by a modest two per cent.

“ “

Gov is a battlefield Editor: I haven’t decided who to vote for yet, so I attended the South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale allcandidates debate at the Star of the Sea on April 20.

I dread this upcoming election.

The Canadian political scene has become mean-spirited in the last few years. I find the attack ads on television stressful to watch, and should not be part of Canadian culture, especially those running before an election is called.

I consider myself a moderate.

Going in, I had an idea who I might vote for, but was surprised that my position shifted during the debate.

There were nine candidates: three independents and six representing political parties. I respected the integrity and passion of several of the independents. They have nothing to lose, however, since this riding is not likely to send an independent to Ottawa.

Another candidate did nothing but bash incumbent Russ Hiebert’s record and had trouble defining his own party’s platform. Hiebert kept to his party’s line, and gushed with all the great things it has done.

He successfully avoided a question about personal gain.

Of the nine, I was most impressed with Susan Keeping (NDP) and Larry Colero (Green party). Both were well prepared, spoke well and offered a view of the future I could respect. As a baby boomer, I worry about health care and the state of the environment, which both of these candidates addressed well.

The question I have: is this riding so entrenched with the governing party that there is no room to consider a change? I am personally embarrassed that our country faced the contempt-of-Parliament issue.

I have narrowed my voting options, thanks to the debate. Clearly, I believe it is time for a shift.

Stephen Walmsley, White Rock The election is soon upon us and people are talking of Harper, Iggy, Layton et al, but you are not voting for them. It is local candidates that represent the riding.

We have Russ Hiebert presently misrepresenting us – this person who was lacking a backbone last election and was frightened to attend an all-candidates meetings, and later on would not go to his own constituency office as he feared a group of seniors picketing there.

He is a man who doesn’t back away from blowing taxpayer money to improve his career or travels. He is a man who really does little for this riding.

I am not saying vote for anyone in particular – anyone else will do. To vote for him is to reward someone who, if working in the private sector, would have been fired long ago.

Let us do just that. Then he most likely will return to wherever he parachuted in from.

Raoul Carriere, White Rock

quote of note `

Can we, until e-day, be truthful to ourselves in our evaluation of the issues most dear?a B.F. Ross

Brian Giebehlaus photo

The only thing hit harder than some federal political candidates has been their campaign signs in public areas.

Liberal candidate Hardy Staub’s challenge to Conservative incumbent Russ Hiebert sounds as though he’s the first one to ever listen to constituents to find out what they really want.

Hiebert has listened to his constituents. Some issues upon which we as constituents agree are those pertaining to traffic safety and efficiency, sports and leisure programs and seniors.

An unknown fact is that Hiebert approached both Surrey and White Rock councils, asking them what their needs were, what could he do for them. We are the beneficiaries.

I’m pleased to finally see the cable barrier along Highway 99. I’m not sure if the treacherous Pattulo Bridge already has this cable barrier but I’m pleased to see we in South Surrey do.

All the construction at the border crossings means expansion of commercial- and bus-processing capacity. Those long wait times are becoming a thing of the past.

Several million were spent on cycling/pedestrian overpasses and bicycle paths throughout Surrey, resulting in safety and efficiency.

What about White Rock? Over half a million was used to construct sidewalks and pedestrian crossings and to improve sidewalk facilities – important in light of the number of seniors and scooters in the area.

Money was spent to retrofit the dining hall at beautiful Kwomais Point Park; the White Rock Museum and Archives revitalization project; plus upgrades at arenas and curling rinks here and in Cloverdale.

What about seniors? Money was spent on the Kent Street Activity Centre, 86 assisted-living units at Evergreen Heights as well as the Czorny Alzheimer centre.

I realize this is comprehensive and long. And there’s much more.

It’s proof that in recent years, Hiebert has accomplished much for constituents Mr. Staub, do you really think you can do better?

M. Penner, Surrey

I went to the all-candidates meeting the other night – and it changed my vote!

I was going to vote Liberal, as I have done for most of my voting life, but after listening to all the candidates, I changed my vote.

I even stopped by the NDP campaign office the next day and offered my volunteer services.

Yes, at 70, you can change your vote. Change is good and more people should try it instead of always voting the way their parents did, or their husband does.

I found Susan Keeping to be direct and authentic; every one of her responses was clear, articulate and persuasive, without once attacking any one of her opponents, unlike the Liberal candidate’s approach.

I, for one, am tired of old-boy, attack-style politics.

I was also impressed by Larry Colero of the Green party. But what I want to know is, surely there is enough common ground between the NDP platform and the Green party platform that they could someday sit down and come together and form one party and stop splitting the left vote such that it puts the Conservatives back into power every damn time.

My change of vote and allegiance came down to style. I am ready for change, and I believe Keeping presented the change of style this community and this country needs.

Marg Milan, White Rock It’s extremely hard to decide who to vote for in this area of South Surrey and White Rock.

First, we have Russ Hiebert, who I have trouble finding out where and what he has done for me, one of his constituents. So many issues especially about the BNSF that he could have jumped in on and taken a stand or at least started a process into seeing what our leaders can do for the many citizens that are effected in so many ways.

Then there is Hardy Staub, whose main goal is to get the Amtrak to stop in White Rock. I think

most people around here would feel much better if Hardy was to target on getting the BNSF right out of this area and put together a comprehensive plan on turning the tracks into an incredible seawall walk like Stanley Park.

The biggest thing, however, that effects me is the collaboration between the NDP, Liberals and the traitors and treasonous oneprovince party from Quebec. It’s like being in bed with the enemy.

So maybe I will just vote Green party or hold my nose and vote Conservative anyway. If there is a majority, at least Quebec and the ramblings that go with their politicians will be quieted down.

The best of everything would see the Conservatives get in with a majority but willing to take on good suggestions from opposing parties.

Brian Lauder, Surrey My riding’s all-candidates meetings – both with attendances in excess of 200 – show the intensity of interest in the upcoming election.

Intensity, to the point of rudeness, was evident by the same candidates, as they expressed their criticisms of the Conservative candidate. Credit is due to those independent hopefuls who recognized the benefits to this riding. Many good concepts were also revealed by fresh minds.

What issues do you, the reader, have in priority for the next government? A civil Parliament?

A stable government? A sound economy with jobs and a balanced budget? Health care, seniors’ needs and other social matters? Which of our candidates can effectively represent your personal concerns?

The matter of trust was frequently raised during the debate. Truth seemed to be gauged through the colour spectrum of the parties.

Can we, until e-day, be truthful to ourselves in our evaluation of the issues most dear?

Which candidate, which party, can best see Canada through still-fragile economic times?

Teen killed in Newton double stabbing Kevin Diakiw Black Press

A teen is dead after a double stabbing at a Newton high school Sunday night.

Two victims were found at about 8:30 p.m. in the rear of Frank Hurt Secondary near 138 Street and 77 Avenue.

Police believe they were drinking and playing soccer when three men approached them, getting into a verbal exchange.

Three more males joined in the argument, which escalated into a physical assault and stabbing of the original two.

One of them, a 19-year-old from Surrey, died from his injuries. The other is being treated in hospital and remains in serious condition.

Investigators believe the six suspects fled southwest on foot through a greenbelt that leads onto 76 Avenue. The suspects are all described as young Indo-Canadian males, dressed in dark clothing and thought to be approximately 20 years of age.

Investigators would like to speak to anyone who can provide details

about any suspicious activity around the school or the greenbelt between 8 and 9 p.m. on Sunday night.

Anyone with information can call the IHIT TIP Line at 1-877-551-4448 (IHIT).

To remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

news Pair face charges of possession of stolen property and theft

Suspect on most-wanted list A man whom police had described as one of the province’s most prolific car thieves has been arrested.

On Tuesday, April 19, an older-model Honda Accord was reported stolen in White Rock.

Officers with the Surrey RCMP Auto Crime Target Team later watched as two people stripped down the vehicle and continued surveillance to the 19300-block of Enterprise Way, near the Surrey/Langley

border.

Police arrested Mark Forrest, along with Desiree Belisle, saying the pair face a number of stolen-property and theft charges.

The man and woman were taken into custody without incident.

Forrest was listed as one of the Integrated Municipal Provincial Auto Crime Team’s “Top 10 Most Wanted� car theft suspects before his arrest.

ick Johnston is putting the finishing touches on his science project this week as he prepares to participate in the world’s largest international pre-college science competition May 8-13.

The Grade 10 Semiahmoo Secondary student will travel to Los Angeles, Calif. next week for the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, where 1,600 Grade 9s-12s from 65 countries, regions and territories are to compete for more than $4 million US in scholarships and prizes.

“It’s going to be quite amazing,” said Johnston, one of just two British Columbians to attend. “I haven’t been to an event like this – (it’s) quite a big deal.”

Johnston will present the project he over plant roots. created to explore the communication “From there, I was inspired to do an even bigger project this year.” of word and letter combinations using Johnston – who has been interested in brain waves, essentially allowing people to communicate without speaking. science since around Grade 3 – said he The project – called had to send in his idea and Computer-Aided Telepathic research plans for examination ❝Nick is and undergo a phone interview Communications – was one of incredibly before being accepted for the 18 across the country selected

said he plans to put it towards his postsecondary education.

With ambitions to become an engineer, he is looking at attending Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which comes with a hefty price tag.

“I’m thinking that would be a good thing to use it for.”

Semiahmoo principal Bea Hadikin told Peace Arch News earlier this month that Johnston is a “bright kid,” and she is not surprised he was chosen for the world fair.

“Nick is incredibly accomplished but also incredibly modest,” Hadikin said, noting Johnston did the project on his own, without the support of a class, group or teacher.

“He definitely has a future in science – we’re going to probably read about him one day.”

Comfort, care and fun at Christina Place

U

pon visiting Christina Place, it’s easy to see why it is described by many as a “jewel” on the Semiahmoo Peninsula.

Residents can often be found mingling in the foyer, listening to some of their favourite tunes from yesteryear, or smiling together in the dining lounge, sharing memories and creating new ones.

There’s an atmosphere of warmth and caring that resonates from staff members and residents alike, not to mention

plenty of fun for the young at heart.

But there’s also a new and important focus being incorporated at Christina Place, according to Bette Hutchinson, resident manager and leasing co-ordinator.

“We’re getting more into exploring health and wellness with our residents,” Hutchinson said, noting an upcoming Health and Wellness Fair, open to the public.

Following on the success of last spring’s

fair at Christina Place, Hutchinson said this year there will be nearly twice as many participants attending the May 13 event, being co-ordinated by Janet Isherwood.

Representatives from the Alzheimer’s Society of B.C., the Arthritis Society, Come Share Senior Support Services and Transitions will be on hand, to name just a few of the groups taking part in the 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. fair. see page 19

Candidates vie for the right to lead RIDING PROFILE: South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale Alex Browne

T

Staff Reporter

he election campaign in the South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale has been billed as a battle of conservatives.

And while there are notable exceptions – NDP candidate Susan Keeping for one, and others who may debate the level of their past and present conservatism – the fact remains that the largely suburban/rural riding has long been a stronghold for representatives of Canada’s conservative parties (including former Progressive Conservatives and Canadian Alliance members).

In the current race, rumblings of discontent with the representation of Conservative incumbent Russ Hiebert are evident in the arrival of new candidates of former Conservative affiliation.

Hiebert has faced criticism, since being first elected in 2004, for being “parachuted” into the riding, has weathered criticism over personal spending and has been characterized as an MP too willing to toe the party line and not be proactive enough in representing constituents’ concerns.

The big question is whether any of the opponents can challenge the hold Hiebert has on the riding (he received 31,216 votes in 2008; the Liberal runner-up received 11,515), or whether they will split any antiHiebert vote, effectively ensuring the return of the staunch supporter of Prime Minister Stephen Harper to Ottawa.

Typically, Hiebert refuses to be drawn by the baiting of other candidates who insist his performance is an election issue. He said constituents have voiced two top issues: the economy and crime.

“This election they have a choice between the Conservative lower taxes, job and growth creating, anti-crime program or the LiberalNDP-Bloc Quebecois job destroying, high tax, soft-on-crime agenda,” he said.

Hiebert said he has been hearing from

constituents who like the “management” Harper has been offering and “recognize the strong position in which Canada has emerged out of the economic downturn,” citing 500,000 recently created jobs.

“They’re concerned about the instability and higher taxes that the NDP-Liberal-Bloc Quebecois coalition will bring,” he said.

Crime is a concern for all, he added.

“They want to know their community is safe. They watch the evening news and they see criminals getting let go, and they’re asking ‘how is it possible these guys are getting released?’ They want to know the government… is there to protect them.”

Among those challenging Hiebert is wellknown community volunteer Aart Looye.

Looye underlines that while he’s listed on the ballot as an Independent, he considers himself an independent conservative, noting, with a laugh, the number of candidates who can be described as conservative in stripe.

“Why are these people running against him? Why is there this anger against Mr. Hiebert?” he said, calling the top issues for the people of the constituency as “integrity and proper representation.”

“The current MP, by his spending patterns and his political lifestyle, does not exhibit the kind of integrity you’d want from a Conservative MP,” Looye said.

“Mr. Hiebert is not a Conservative… He doesn’t represent conservative values – it all seems to be about what kind of entitlement he expects, and he takes everything he can.”

Looye said proper representation should not be “a barking seal” that repeats a party line or the views of the party leader, but someone who is willing to intercede for and put forward the views of all constituents, “whether they’re NDP or Green or whatever.”

“Even with the party system, there has to be room for some freedom of thought.”

White Rock mayor Hardy Staub, a former Progressive Conservative party member whose decision to run as a Liberal followed criticism of the MP’s performance and Conservative policies that he said will not permit other nominations.

For the retired airline pilot, the issue of representation is the most important.

“The person on the ballot is elected by the people of the riding,” he said. “They want a representative of the community in Ottawa – not the other way around.”

Referring to Hiebert’s newletters as “useless, self-serving literature,” Staub said voters need someone who is willing to fight to get their ideas across.

The second priority he sees is helping families – including better funding for health care, subsidies for working families and incentives for children to stay in school – rather than corporate tax relief.

Progressive Canadian candidate Brian Marlatt – manager of a family-owned business – has run in previous elections, since the Progressive Conservative party was removed from the ballot in 2003.

Marlatt said he is committed to it as an alternative conservative choice that follows “progressive conservative” ideals.

Marlatt said he feels the current Conservatives are committed to a hidden agenda of corporate libertarianism that includes the deregulation of financial institutions – one of the factors, he believes, that led to the recession internationally.

“Mr. Harper’s government is not a Conservative government but a neoconservative one.”

Compensation for veterans, raised by Staub, is also important to Marlatt, as is help for autistic children’s families– issues for which Hiebert has faced constituent criticism for not being more proactive.

election

Economy a key campaign issue from page 21 Mike Schouten, a greenhouse manager, said the party provides “principled leadership” that small ‘c’ conservatives are looking for, regardless of religious views.

Schouten said he has received some backlash, but also a great deal of grass-roots support, for his suggestion that limits be placed on immigration.

“People are saying, ‘At last someone is telling it like it is, instead of lecturing us with empty rhetoric.’ It’s an issue that doesn’t get talked about because the big parties are trying to court the immigrant vote.”

Schouten said the economy and an aging population demographic are the issues of greatest concern in the campaign.

“The way we can address the current economic problems is with inward growth, instead of trying to grow the country by bringing in many thousands of immigrants a year.”

Green party candidate Larry Colero has also identified himself in the campaign as a former Conservative, but has since said he was a member primarily to support David Orchard’s fight against the merger of the Progressive Conservative Party and the Canadian Alliance.

Colero said local voters should be concerned about “the amazing number of oil tankers that are transporting crude oil from Burrard Inlet past White Rock

and Crescent Beach” and pointed to Transport Canada assessments of the high likelihood of an oil spill in the area within “the next six or seven years.”

The corporate world, he said, cannot be relied on for cleanup.

“They’re still cleaning up from the Exxon Valdez,” he said.

Colero also said voters should be concerned about an “apparent threat to democracy” posed by the Harper government being found in contempt of Parliament for refusing to release information on costs of crime legislation and the purchase of stealth fighter aircraft.

NDP candidate Susan Keeping has worked for 20 years with social agencies developing community and fighting homelessness and poverty.

She said the major issues are health care and support for seniors, noting families struggle to provide education for youth and help elderly parents.

“The CPP is just not good enough. People are struggling to afford basic necessities.”

In health care, she noted the NDP platform proposes increasing the number of doctors and nurses and opening up closed wings of hospitals.

Independent candidate Kevin Donohoe, who retired as a builder, returned to the workforce as a “certified agingin-place specialist” who uses his expertise to allow seniors to

stay in their homes, rather than placing strains on an already overtaxed care system.

Donohoe, who supports a national prescription drug policy, said foresight is crucial in an area where the aging “boomer” population is about to increase demands on the system.

“It’s the difference between spending $20,000 to upgrade somebody’s home or spending $3,000-$4,000 per month in extended care,” he said.

Independent David Hawkins, who describes himself as “a forensic economist” with a background in developing software management systems for the oil industry, said he has two main issues: small businesses and health care.

Hawkins, who said he has been doing most of his campaigning at small-business premises, said he is concerned that almost all of them are empty.

“They’ve got a real crisis in cash flow,” he said, adding that his wife has “cancer issues” that have made him take a close look at health care.

“The government is taking money out of the community and running it back through bureacracy,” he said.

Hawkins advocates a flat tax of some 15 per cent for incomes over $30,000 a year.

“It mean the rich don’t hide their money, and make a greater contribution to revenues.”

White Rock premier baseball squad goes 2-2 against city rivals

Tritons’ bats show signs of improvement sixth in the 13-team B.C. Premier Baseball League with a 5-3 record.

A home run from outfielder Temple’s home run – which Jackson Temple – the team’s first Smithson said he just crushed round-tripper of the season – down the left-field line “about 30 lifted the White Rock feet beyond the fence” Tritons to an 8-3 win – wasn’t the only bright Sunday over the Fraser spot at the dish for the Valley Chiefs and helped Peninsula club, which had the team to another .500 struggled to score runs in weekend. first month of the season Prior to the 8-3 victory, and was instead relying the Tritons lost 7-0 to the on defence, and especially Chiefs, and on Saturday, pitching, to win ball they split a doubleheader games. with the North Delta Blue Despite losing Saturday’s Josh Larsen Jays, losing 6-3 before first game, White Rock Tritons pitcher still managed five hits – winning the nightcap 5-0.

“It’s frustrating that three of which came from we’re this inconsistent – we just designated hitter Josh Larsen, who can’t string two wins together, but had two doubles and also scored a overall, our play was pretty good,” pair of runs. said Tritons coach Russ Smithson.

“He really broke out and hit well – he was on fire this weekend,” Smithson said.

But as quick as the hits came, they also faded at times, as was the case in the 7-0 loss to Fraser Valley.

“We’re just inconsistent with the bats. Hopefully it’s something we can get figured out as we go along,” Smithson said. “But I have no problems with our effort – we worked really hard.”

White Rock’s pitchers were again strong on the mound, and none was better than Larsen in the 5-0 win over the Jays Saturday.

The Delta senior – who is committed to El Paso Community College next season – threw a complete game, three-hit shutout, and struck out 13.

which Fraser Valley scored six times in the second inning – Sunday to salvage a split.

“We got down early in that first game and just went kind of dead, but we had a good chat between games and got it figured out for Game 2,” said Smithson.

“These guys seem to have the ability to shake a loss off quickly, which is nice to see, especially for a young team.”

After their weekend on the road, the Tritons returned to South Surrey Athletic Park Tuesday – after press deadline – to play the Langley Blaze.

They don’t return to PBL action until the following Tuesday, May 3, when they’ll host the Abbotsford Cardinals.

Teams set for Coastal Cup A pair of Peninsula teams will hit the pitch this weekend, at the Coastal Cup youth soccer tournament at Minoru Park in Richmond.

The Semiahmoo Thunder will square off against the Richmond Red Hot Selects for U16 Coastal Cup banner at 9 a.m, Saturday and on the boys’ side of the bracket, the Peace Arch U13 Rangers – who have reeled off impressive victories in quarter- and semifinal action – are set to face the Comox Valley Red Strike in the Boys B Coastal Cup finals Sunday at 1 p.m.

The games are two of 22 Coastal Cup finals, an annual knockout competition for youth soccer teams on the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island.

Roughly 300 teams in the 22 categories qualified for the competition, which began April 2-3.

The Peace Arch Rangers, coached by Gretchen McConnell and assistant Terry Amisano, finished the District 5 league with a 6-3-3 record, and advanced to the title match after beating CMF Nitro 2-1 in semifinals and, prior to that, Vancouver’s KLM Ghostriders – who had been undefeated all season – in quarter-final action.

The team has also qualified for provincials, which are scheduled for mid-July in Powell River.

Peace Arch already has one cup win to its credit this season. Prior to playing the Ghostriders, the Rangers won the District Cup with a victory over a fellow Peace Arch squad, the U13 Peace Arch Titans.

Members of the Thunder are also no strangers to championship games, having played in a slew of them since 2005.

Since forming at the U11 level, the Thunder – coached by Val Dion, Brian Palesch, Mike Steer and Rod Buckham – have won the U11 Inter-District Cup, U12 President’s Cup, U12 provincial cup, U13 and U14 Coastal Cup titles and also a silver medal at national championships in 2009.

Last year, they won bronze at provincials.

HUNT, Alec (b. May 6, 1944 in Slough, England) died in Ladner, BC on April 18, 2011 after a prolonged illness. Alec is survived by his daughters and their spouses: Jay (Lee), Katy (Kyle) and Fiona (Bryan) and his grandchildren: Nicola, Liam, Owen and Anna. Alec, known to his English friends by his schoolboy nickname, Hank, was raised by his mother in West Kirby, England. He met and married Sue Riglin in 1968 and they emigrated to Canada with their 3 daughters in 1975. Alec’s career in BC involved designing cranes and logging equipment. His bad heart forced him to retire early and unfortunately deprived him of active participation in his lifelong love - sailing. Having raced in England from his teens, Alec picked up the sport again in Canada when he joined the Surrey Sailing Club.

Alec returned to sailboat racing with gusto and his sailing buddies became his closest friends once he moved to White Rock. Alec had many other interests: in his youth he raced bicycles and was the drummer in a Merseyside band; in Canada he enjoyed nature - skiing, camping, fishing and bird watching. We miss him already but we’ll tell stories of him for the rest of our lives. A small memorial will be held at the Surrey Sailing Club, Apr. 29 from 5-7 pm.

Please make any donations in his memory to the Heart & Stroke Foundation or O.W.L. Canada.

Campaign celebrates four amazing years Since launching in May 2007, Partners in Caring raises more than $25 million for hospital foundation

‘I

ncredible” and “inspiring” are two words being used to describe the work that has been accomplished in the four short years since Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation (PAHCHF) announced it would be spearheading a $32-million fundraising campaign to expand and modernize Peace Arch Hospital.

While the ambitious – if not, jawdropping – fundraising goal in itself inspired a state of wonderment and perhaps, for some, astonishment, it is the “partnership” philosophy behind the campaign – aptly named “Partners In Caring” – that has the community and global health proponents, such as the World Health Organization, in awe.

By far the largest fundraising initiative Peace Arch Hospital and the community of White RockSouth Surrey have ever seen, the campaign, which launched in May 2007, is proving to be one of the finest examples of the power of partnerships and what can be achieved when an entire community comes together in support of a common goal.

“There has been a long tradition of our community supporting the hospital,” said Jackie Smith, PAHCHF executive director.

“This tradition has allowed the foundation to do some pretty amazing things.

We really need to pause and truly appreciate what we have been able to do together.”

With the support of many individual project partners, including White Rock South Surrey Community Foundation, Peace Arch Hospital Auxiliary Society and Fraser Health, PAHCHF has managed to raise over $25 million (nearly 80 per cent of the total campaign goal) in just four short years.

Perhaps even more important, however, is the fact that this month will mark the completion of the foundation’s first four of five

Partners In Caring Campaign Update: Four Projects in Four Years Project 1: More acute care space 56 acute-care beds One rehab gym Two floors of repurposed space $10.6-million investment DCompleted in 2008

Project 2:

Local dignitaries celebrate the completion of four projects in four years. campaign projects: • The addition of acute care space (56 beds) through the completion of the hospital’s shelled-in fifth and sixth floors • A new maternity ward • A new MRI • The new community-based Centre for Active Living The fifth and final project – planning for a modern, expanded emergency department – is currently underway.

“Four projects in four years – it’s an amazing accomplishment,” said Smith, who was recently named Business Person of the Year Corporate by the South Surrey White Rock Chamber of Commerce.

“The community has really embraced this campaign. We are extremely grateful.”

While the PAHCHF board of directors had originally envisioned a campaign focused on a single project (the completion of the hospital’s fifth and sixth floors, which were built as shells in 1993), Smith says input from residents, community leaders, the City of White Rock, Fraser Health and

Peace Arch Hospital’s medical, nursing and other hospital staff “clearly identified the need to expand the campaign’s scope.”

“Everything unfolded in a way that we could not have (originally) set out to plan,” said Smith, who acknowledged the importance of having support from all three levels of government. “Everyone had input. The pieces all came together at the right time.”

Though Smith is “amazed” by the level of support from donors, she points out that rallying around the community hospital is nothing new to the community of White RockSouth Surrey.

“In fact, it was the community that built our first hospital,” she said.

“I think it’s quite telling that the lead gift to the Partners in Caring Campaign of $3 million came from Robert Hassell, who was the chairman of the former hospital board, and his wife, Florence, who (was) a longtime member of the hospital auxiliary.”

“People give to what they value,” added Smith.

“So many donors have been personally touched by the hospital.

Forty years later, the Hassells have come back and said ‘We still believe in the work that is being done.’ I think that says a lot about our hospital – and about our community.”

A new MRI One state-of-the-art MRI $4.7-million investment DCompleted in 2009

Project 3: A new maternity ward Eight single-family birthing rooms (three times the former birthing capacity) One nursery One education centre Fifty per cent more space One secure dedicated entry $5.3-million investment DCompleted January 2011

Project 4: The Centre for Active Living Concept: Focusing on exercise and diet, not only as doctor-prescribed therapeutic medicine, but self-prescribed preventative medicine.

One new 18,000-squarefoot building (one assessment room, two fitness studios, two studios for stretch-and-strength and weight training) Three primary concentrations: cardiac disease, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) Professionally supervised fitness and lifestyle programs that transition seamlessly into community-run fitness programs, involvement in sports and healthy living $6.5-million investment DCompleted April 2011

Guess WHO’s got their eyes on the Centre?

Cutting-edge facility being closely watched by health authorities around the world

W

hile beautiful, White Rock’s Centre for Active Living is not gaining worldwide attention because of its stunning architectural details – or even its cutting-edge fitness machines or the fact that it’s home to a regulation-size curling rink.

It’s the concept of what is happening inside – a revolutionary, common-sense new way to approach healthy living – that has health authorities, including the World Health Organization (WHO) keeping a close eye on whether this community project may be the new gold standard in the future of health care.

Though powerful, the concept is amazingly simple and one based on information everyone has heard before: exercise, diet and lifestyle are the three biggest contributing factors to a person’s overall health.

Therefore, say health proponents,

together they are the best – and most effective – form of (proactive and rehabilitative) medicine there is.

This philosophy, along with a history-making example of the benefits of government and non-government organization partnership, is the cornerstone of the project’s success.

In addition to offering White Rock Leisure Services programs and activities (see page 44 for a complete program listing), the two-storey, 18,000-squarefoot facility is home to Peace Arch Curling Centre, as well as Peace Arch Hospital’s expanded community-based cardiac rehabilitation and chronic disease management program.

Ken and Marilyn Phillips are looking forward to using the brand new cardiac rehab facility in the Centre for Active Living, where the couple – married for 48 years – will take part in such activities as rowing.

Program gets to heart of the matter Cardiac rehabilitation patient shares his battle with heart disease and his inspirational recovery

W

hen South Surrey resident Ken Phillips stopped in to see his family doctor for a simple prescription refill at 9 a.m. on April 23, 2008, he had no idea that in a matter of minutes his life would take an unexpected turn that would eventually lead him into the best shape of his life – but not without a bit of “heartache” first.

Just a few steps inside the clinic’s doors, Dr. Evelyn Shukin took one look at Phillips – who began using nitroglycerin to control chest pain one month prior – and immediately instructed him to “Sit down!”

“She’s been my doctor for 16 years,” said Phillips, who was 67 at the time. “As soon as she saw me, she knew something was very wrong.”

Dr. Shukin, who Phillips refers to as “the best thing since sliced bread,” sent him directly to Peace Arch Hospital where he saw Dr. Mark Turner, a respirologist and internal medicine specialist.

The married father of two grown sons and grandfather of two girls, ages 12 and 14, was soon advised he had six major coronary artery blockages and within five days of the diagnosis underwent emergency quintuple bypass

surgery at Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster.

“I just can’t say enough about the quick work of Mark Turner and Evelyn Shukin,” said Phillips.

“They saved my life.”

Though his quick-witted sense of humour was never far out of reach, Phillips admits the weeks and months following the physically and mentally traumatic surgery – which included stopping his heart (necessitating cardiopulmonary bypass) and cutting his sternum in half – were “really tough.”

“It was an emotional time,” he said.

After learning his heart problems were directly related to his lifestyle, Phillips made a promise to himself, which he says not only helped him get through the first few weeks of recovery but now, three years later, guides his choices regarding healthy living on a daily basis.

“The nurses helped me to set an important goal and that is to be able to see both my granddaughters grow up and get married.”

While raising his family, Phillips said he always “hustled.” In addition to juggling the various demands of parenthood and being an active volunteer at his church, he worked two jobs,

didn’t watch his diet closely and made no time for hobbies or exercise.

“I’ve learned a lot,” he said. “I was a walking time bomb and didn’t know it.”

Following surgery, Phillips was transferred back to Peace Arch Hospital where he began phase 1 (in-hospital recovery) of the Cardiac Rehabilitation Program.

This was followed by phase 2 and 3 (outpatient) rehabilitation at the hospital’s iConnect Health Centre.

There, over the course of four months, he was provided with intensive cardiac education and monitored closely by medical staff, while taking part in exercise classes specifically designed for those with heart conditions.

On December 17, 2008, he began the community-based fourth or “fitness maintenance” phase of the program, which – thanks to funds raised through Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation’s Partners In Caring Campaign – will soon be moved from the Mel Edwards space to the new, more spacious and comfortable, Centre for Active Living. see page 16

What the partners are saying...

The completion of the Centre for Active Living would never have been possible without the collaboration of the seven Partners in Caring, as well as the generous support of everyone who donated to the Peace arch Hospital and Community Foundation. Here’s what the partners are saying about this outstanding accomplishment:

Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation The Hospital Foundation got involved in this project because we love the idea of using healthy living, including exercise, as medicine to keep us — our community — off the couch and out of the emergency department.

We love that the Centre for Active Living is for everybody, whether you are recovering after a heart attack or making sure you’ll never have one.

Jackie Smith Our hope for the centre is executive director that it will be used to its full potential, that we will each help ourselves, and our community, to a new level of health. ~ Jackie Smith, Executive Director

White Rock South Surrey Community Foundation The White Rock South Surrey Community Foundation is proud to be a foundational supporter and partner for the new Centre for Active Living.

As a major supporter of the Mel Edwards Centre, our foundation is pleased to see its vision for expansion become reality.

The Centre for Active Living is an exciting development that will assist community residents with a broad range Joan Walker of health problems. The centre president is providing relief for the Mel Edwards Centre and other local programs that are overwhelmed with rapidly growing demand. It will provide a wide range of programs for people who are healthy and those with chronic conditions.

Everyone benefits from active living. The foundation believes that the physical health and social fabric of our community will benefit from this innovative facility for many years to come.

Our mission is to connect a caring community with causes that matter. Building a healthy community is truly a cause that matters! ~ Joan Walker, President

CENTRE FOR ACTIVE LIVING and PEACE ARCH CURLING CENTRE

City of White Rock Right from the start, the City of White Rock has played an active role in the development of the Centre for Active Living. With a strong vision for the future, the City contributed financially, provided land and contributed staff resources to the development. The end result was a unique prototype that is the first of its kind in British Columbia.

From inception to building completion, the Centre for Active Living has served as a testament to the power of partnership and collaboration.

With shared space for health, wellness, chronic disease prevention and specialized disease management programs, along with self-directed wellness programs, the Centre for Active Living will continue to demonstrate the difference that strong partnerships can make.

This is a project is like no other and is something that we can all be proud of. ~City of White Rock see page 18

Our community has always been grass roots in its approach to getting things done; the collaboration of the partners involved and dedication from countless volunteers and donors, is the reason we have such great Health Facilities in our community. Thanks from KNV to everyone that has contributed to this amazing project!

Government of British Columbia

Fraser Health is truly grateful to all of our partners involved in the Centre for Active Living for their tireless work to make it a reality, and for capturing the imagination of residents to support a vision for a healthier community.

As a health care authority, we are increasingly working with community partners to provide a supportive environment and opportunities for people Diane Miller to achieve a state of positive Fraser Health health.

We know that many people living with chronic or complex health issues can live well when they are guided to make lifestyle improvements, increase physical activity, and self-manage their conditions.

We are very pleased to extend this kind of support for positive, healthy living to residents of this community, and especially to bring it together under one roof with our partners at the new Centre for Active Living. ~ Diane Miller, Executive Director, Primary Care, Fraser Health

The Peace Arch Curling Centre (PACC) needed a new facility. A planning and fundraising committee worked for seven years to prepare for a new building. PACC was approached with the idea of combining with other partners to make a larger facility with shared space on the current site. The previous building had existed since 1968 as a focal point in the community. It was established through the hard work of local curlers to provide a space to socialize through the sport of curling.

Our partnership brought an opportunity to embark on a new vision for the curling facility.

In the future, the curling centre would like to expand its programs, offer improved food service and reach further into the local schools and community. The full service lounge was reconfigured to provide a space for community groups to rent and hold functions.

We hope that in the future the PACC will be able to hold major curling events which would spotlight what the City of White Rock has accomplished and be a model for other curling facilities. ~ Ross Scott, President

The Centre for Active Living (CAL) will be a ‘place’ of activity and health promotion.

The vision for CAL grew out of my experience as the Minister responsible for Health Promotion, with the Health Living Alliance of British Columbia, a group of nonprofit organizations that came together to develop strategies and programs to focus on the Gordon Hogg prevention of disease and MLA promotion of health.

Research suggests that many diseases have the same precursors and that an active, healthy lifestyle would help to manage disease and prevent their onset.

I was invited by the World Health Organization (WHO) to present this model in Bahrain.

WHO studied the model and designated it as a best practice model for the world.

The principles of the provincial model have been built into the local model.

The Centre for Active Living is, to our knowledge, the first such model to be implemented at a community level – a positive, see page 19

ost would agree that on your average construction project, a 15-year timespan from start to finish wouldn’t usually be considered a well-executed plan.

However, when it comes to our community hospital – a place that is anything but average on account of an amazing team of doctors, nurses and hospital staff – it’s actually called “foresight.”

Thanks to the support of Fraser Health and its generous donors and volunteers, Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation was able to “complete the circle” on a project it began in 1993 when, in anticipation of future need, it funded the construction of two additional

showers and touchless sinks for improved infection control.

“Anticipating the future health care needs of the community is the cornerstone of the foundation’s work – one that has been in place since the community broke ground

building the first ‘official’ hospital in 1951,” said Smith, who credits former hospital society chair Robert Hassell as the original visionary behind the planning.

“He championed the idea of building two additional shelledin floors back in 1968 when the hospital board constructed the sixstory acute care south building. Just like the fifth and sixth floor project, that forethought made adding much-needed space a relatively simple matter.”

Shannon deBruyckere, site director at Peace Arch Hospital says the new beds are “instrumental in allowing us to prepare for the demands that we are seeing today.”

“We’ve been able to move forward because of the partnership with the foundation. The impact is seen in our ability to deliver quality, streamlined care in a patientcentred, purpose-built space. On behalf of Fraser Health, I would like to extend our gratitude to the foundation and to the community for all that they have done and all they continue to do.”

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is one of the safest, most reliable and most flexible diagnostic devices available to our medical profession. It is also a life saving tool that, thanks to Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation’s Partners In Caring campaign, is now available at Peace Arch Hospital.

“The availability of the MRI in our hospital is crucial to the early diagnosis of illness,” said Peace Arch Hospital radiologist Dr. Eleanor Clark. “It is the only imaging tool that can detect certain life-threatening diseases and infections, particularly those involving the spine and brain.”

“An undiagnosed spinal infection can lead to sensory loss, paralysis and, if left untreated, death,” said Dr. Clark.

Prior to the installation of Peace Arch Hospital’s MRI unit, local patients were required to travel to either Surrey Memorial or Royal Columbian Hospitals to receive

According to Dr. Clark, rapid access to an MRI at Peace Arch Hospital has resulted in faster diagnosis and shorter wait times for other services, which, she said, “is particularly crucial with cancer and other progressive conditions.”

During the unit’s first 13 months of operation, Peace Arch Hospital carried out 2,268 scans.

“It’s made such a huge impact in the care of patients,” added Dr. Clark.

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.

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.

Veins may therefore be simple spider veins that are purely a cosmetic problem or more complicated larger truncal or branch veins 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.

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.

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.

LIGATION - Tying the vein off with a suture, a surgical procedure. The recurrence rate of about 30 % is the same as injection.

STRIPPING STRIIPPING - This Thi is i 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.

While it’s no secret that taking part in regular exercise can help you maintain a healthy weight, an active lifestyle can also dramatically reduce the risk of many chronic diseases.

While the brand new Centre for Active Living will be geared towards helping residents who suffer from such ailments, it will also be a great place for people to get involved in fun, unique activities as a preventative measure, to help ensure a long and healthy life.

According to the B.C. Heart and Stroke Foundation, we have come a long way in the battle against cardiovascular disease over the past four decades.

And although the rate of heart disease and stroke has declined by 70 per cent since 1956, they are still two of the three leading causes of death in Canada, based on 2006

Statistics Canada data.

In 2006 alone, cardiovascular disease accounted for 30 per cent of all deaths in Canada, or more than 69,000 lives lost.

In addition to claiming too many lives across our country, heart disease and stroke also costs the Canadian economy more than $22.2 billion each year in doctors’ services, hospital costs, lost wages and decreased productivity.

While it may sound like all bad news, the good news is that by incorporating physical activity into your weekly routine – for example, taking part in some of the many programs that will be offered out of the Centre for Active Living – you can greatly reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke.

According to the Canadian Physical Activities Guidelines, published by the Canadian Society see page 31

Now Available to Everyone Bioenergetic Intolerance Elimination (BIE) ELIMINATING YOUR ALLERGIES NATURALLY When the body fails to recognize a frequency of a substance, it will reject it through one of the four major areas in the body; the colon, kidneys, skin and respiratory system. We will notice various symptoms in each of these areas, such as:

File photo

Taking part in exercise programs – such as yoga, which will be offered at the Centre for Active Living – can help improve both physical and mental health.

Exercise body and mind from page 30 for Exercise Physiology, adults between the ages of 18 and 64 should aim to take part in at least 150 minutes of moderate- to vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity per week, in bouts of 10 minutes or more. Moderate intensity could include brisk walking or bike riding, whereas vigorous intensity includes jogging or cross-country skiing.

The guideline also suggests adding muscle and bonestrengthening activities, using major muscle groups, at least two days per week.

Even for healthy adults, incorporating these guidelines can help reduce the risk of not only heart disease and stroke, but also high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis and certain types of cancer.

Beyond reducing the risk of disease, regular exercise will also improve your overall fitness and strength, as well as mental health and well-being.

While the guidelines for adults over the age of 65 differ slightly, the importance of physical activity is equally, if not more, important for seniors.

It’s recommended that seniors also take part in 150 minutes of aerobic physical activity each week, spread over the span of several days. Bicycling and brisk walking are great choices for

moderate-intensity workouts, and cross-country skiing and swimming would be considered more vigorous-intensity options.

On top of the chronic diseases that exercise can help prevent in the senior population, it can also help to maintain functional independence, mobility, bone health and mental wellness.

Another disease that has a profound impact on the senior population here on the Semiahmoo Peninsula is Alzheimer’s.

According to the Alzheimer Society of B.C., more than 70,000 British Columbians are currently living with Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia.

While there’s no absolute way to prevent the disease, the Alzheimer Society recommends a number of lifestyle changes to help reduce the risk, including eating a well-balanced healthy diet, maintaining a healthy weight and taking part in a regular exercise program, keeping cholesterol and blood pressure in check, sleeping regularly and stimulating your brain by doing things like crossword puzzles or learning a new language.

A number of risk factors that can increase the chances of developing Alzheimer’s disease – including diabetes and cardiovascular disease – can be avoided by maintaining a healthy lifestyle, with plenty of physical activity.

Let CONCORD put LIFE in your YEARS!

Retirement Residence 15869 Paci¿c Avenue, White Rock 604.531.6198 email: concordretirementresidence@shaw.ca www.concordretirementresidence.com

White Rock and South Surrey family-practice doctors recently approached the Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation with an idea and a request.

The foundation responded with a $30,000 Because People Matter Grant.

The funds are being used to establish the multi-disciplinary Primary Care Access Clinic – located at the Centre for Active Living – which will connect patients with family doctors and provide enhanced care for highneed patients, frail seniors and patients with chronic disease.

This includes individuals who were recently admitted to the hospital, visited the emergency room, or have mental health and addiction issues.

According to Dr. Grace Park, one of the physicians who has been instrumental in setting up the clinic, the benefits of having a family doctor are plentiful.

“We have always known the importance of having a family doctor, someone who you have come to know and trust over the years,” Dr. Park said.

“Now we have research that shows that people who have a family physician who co-ordinates their health needs and provides comprehensive care are healthier and have earlier detection of disease with less medical investigation and hospitalization.”

Step one for patients of the PCAC will involve good follow-up care, which can help prevent a patient from being re-admitted to the hospital or making a second trip to emergency.

Step two links patients to a family doctor in the area.

Having a family doctor – a health professional who is familiar with a patient’s medical history – can drastically improve health outcomes.

“We have learned by studying other countries in the world that strong primary care leads to healthier populations. They have better health outcomes,” Dr. Park said.

Contributed photo

Dr. Grace Park has helped develop the Primary Care Access Clinic.

“We are working hard to recruit more family physicians and by working with other health professionals, such as nurse practitioners, we will be able to provide the comprehensive, longitudinal care that will benefit our residents.”

White Rock / South Surrey is one of the first communities in the province to establish this new model for primary care, thanks to the forward-thinking doctors and the foundation grant.

The Peninsula is also one of three communities in B.C. launching the $137-million provincial initiative that aims to provide a family doctor for everyone by 2015.

The PCAC is currently up and running at a temporary location at the Uptown Medical Clinic on Johnston Road, but Dr. Park said the practitioners are looking forward to moving into the Centre for Active Living at Centennial Park, where they will be located in the same area as the Alzheimer’s Resource Centre and the White Rock South Surrey Stroke Recovery Club.

“We are looking forward to working with all the other programs at the Centre for Active Living, which are designed to promote better health management, education and support our community’s families.”

Anyone interested in volunteering some time – or donating muchneeded furniture for the new space – can contact Hutchson at 604541-1290 or gayl@shaw.ca Equally as excited about moving into the Centre for Active Living is the Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s White Rock Resource Centre, which is hoping to be ready for their new digs in August.

Kathy Kennedy, the society’s director of programs and services, described the move as a “wonderful opportunity” for the group to expand upon the support services it provides.

“Through the space, we will be providing information resources to families of people suffering from Alzheimer’s or related dementias,” Kennedy said. “We will also be offering support groups for caregivers and people with early symptoms.”

The advantages to being a part of

a facility that offers such a diverse array of services and programs are plentiful, Kennedy said, noting that the Primary Care Access Clinic – to be set up in the same area of the building as the Alzheimer’s resource centre – will be especially helpful.

“It’s a really unique opportunity to be in a building where you’re sharing with other groups,” she said.

“We really aim to connect with people with dementia as soon as possible after diagnosis – the primary care clinic is an important partner in that.”

Another bonus will be the high visibility of the resource centre in such a notable and high-traffic location.

“It will be easy for people to know where we are,” Kennedy said, adding that the centre hopes its programs and services will have a chance to grow once it has settled into its new home.

“It provides us with a sufficient enough space that we are going to be able to look at expanding our programs in the future.”

A frightfully good time Each year around the Semiahmoo Peninsula, there’s no shortage of events that put the ‘fun’ in fundraising.

One such event that raises money for the Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation is the Great Pumpkin Run/Walk, now in its fifth year.

The community event is Halloween-themed, inviting participants of all ages and fitness levels to embark on one- and fivekilometre routes, winding through the streets of White Rock.

Last year’s event saw an estimated 400 participants and brought in

around $30,000 for the foundation, helping to fund the hospital’s priority equipment and campaign projects.

It’s an event that has steadily grown since first launching in 2006 – last year’s attendance was double what it was in 2009, and close to three times as much money was raised through pledges.

Adding to the fun of raising money is the holiday aspect of the run/walk – participants are invited to wear Halloween costumes, with prizes given out for the best garb.

This year’s Great Pumpkin Run/ Walk is set to take place on Sunday Oct. 23.

“The new ER is a project that’s close to the heart of many in our community. With a master plan for the site, the new emergency will more precisely address the community’s current and future needs.”

“This is a vital project to build on recent improvements and create consensus with stakeholders on shared values, needs and priorities. Most importantly, this will help ensure Fraser Health is prepared to meet the future needs of our rapidly growing and aging community,” said Susan Brown, who is Fraser Health’s executive director for Peace Arch Hospital, the community of White Rock and the medicine program across the health authority.

Fraser Health will oversee the work on the Master Plan, which will be completed in June of this year. Clinical programs at the site and from across the region and the Lower Mainland are engaged in planning with the Peace Arch

n 1922, nurse Gertrude MacMillan arrived in the White Rock area and began working with Dr. Fred Sinclair, a doctor labouring single-handedly to meet the medical needs of this growing community. Together they established the community’s first hospital – in Gertrude’s home!

It wasn’t until 1947 that the White Rock Hospital Society was formed to build and operate a new hospital.

The following year the hospital’s auxiliary was established, and it enthusiastically embarked on a fundraising campaign for this new and exciting community project.

In 1951, local resident Amy Weatherby donated a 5.5acre building site and the B.C. government gave permission to build a hospital building if the local community could raise onethird of the cost. The fundraising was a success and a new 45-bed hospital was officially opened on August 25th, 1954.

Other health facilities followed.

The society purchased the Berkeley Building in 1967 as an extended care unit, and in 1968 it constructed the six-storey acute care south building. Society Chair Robert Hassell was the visionary who championed the idea of building two additional shelledin floors, making it a relatively simple matter of finishing them off

in future years. An additional 150 extended care beds were opened in 1987 within the Weatherby Pavilion.

In 1988, the Peace Arch Hospital Foundation was established and assumed many of the responsibilities of the former Hospital Society. Following their visionary predecessors, the foundation and the community have always been on the lookout for suitable land coming available in the hospital precinct.

The foundation currently owns 3.5 acres of land north of the hospital and recently purchased an additional 1.1 acres immediately west of the main building to ensure that space is available for future expansion when needed. The entire hospital campus is situated on land either donated or purchased by the community.

The north tower addition took place in 1993. Once again, two floors (the fifth and sixth) were shelled in to allow for future expansion.

In 1993, diagnostic and support services were expanded, and in 1996, a new 150-bed extendedcare unit, now named the Dr. Al Hogg Pavilion, was constructed.

Just recently – thanks to a joint initiative between the foundation and Fraser Health – construction see page 43

Four Projects in Four FourYears: Years; ••CENTRE CENTREFOR FORACTIVE ACTIVELIVING LIVING ••ACUTE ACUTECARE CARE ••MRI MRI ••MATERNITY MATERNITY

More than $70 million raised from page 42 began on the completion of the hospital’s fifth and sixth floors, allowing for the addition of 56 acute care beds.

In 2007, the foundation launched the $32-million Partners in Caring Campaign.

The most ambitious fundraising initiative in the Peninsula’s history, it advances five priority projects: the addition of acute care space (56 beds), a new maternity unit, an MRI, a community-based Centre for Active Living, planing for a new emergency department In the spring of 2011, four years after the campaign launched, the community celebrates the completion of the first four Partners in Caring projects and $25 million raised.

Since its inception, the foundation has raised over $70 million dollars – not only towards expansion projects and capital equipment purchases for Peace Arch Hospital, but to fund initiatives through the foundation’s Because People Matter grants.

In 2006, the foundation changed

its name to Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation to better reflect the role it plays within the community.

As a result of the foundation’s continued efforts and the community’s ongoing support, Peace Arch Hospital has many pieces of equipment typically found in only a few of the province’s major hospitals.

This enables residents to have local access to innovative health care programs and the very best medical, diagnostic and surgical equipment available today, as well as the recruitment and retention of exceptional medical staff.

About Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation is an independent charitable society that raises funds and awareness to enhance health and wellness in our community.

One hundred per cent of donations go to their designated purpose.

increase muscle, ligament and bone strength.

The technique is easy to learn, fun and suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels. Poles are provided.

Osteofit is a safe and effective exercise program designed for those with osteoporosis. Education and information about osteoporosis prevention and treatment is provided in the course.

This class complements a cardio program such as a dance class or Nordic walking, or an exercise to music class.

Yamuna Body Rolling Yamuna Body Rolling is about weight-bearing stretching, working the entire length of the muscle, as well as the tendons.

It focuses on stimulating the bones at the origin of the muscle (the point where the tendon of the muscle connects to the bone), creating space within the joints and letting go of tension. Benefits include improvements in posture, range of motion, circulation, lung capacity and greater body awareness.

Yoga Gentle stretching, proper breathing techniques and deep relaxation allow the body and mind to come alive with renewed energy.
