Better to call 911 says federal candidate

‘Barbaric cultural’ tip line criticized

BNSF responds to mayor’s ‘laid down the law’ comment

Train blasts to persist

Alex BrowneStaff Reporter

Federal Liberal candidate Judy Higgin-botham has fired a volley against the Conservatives and South Surrey-White Rock riding candi-date Dianne Watts for a recently announced tip-line component of the Zero Tolerance for Barbaric Cultural Practices Act.

The act, which received royal assent in June, amends the Refugee Protection Act and the Civil Mar-riage Act with the avowed intent of preventing polygamy, child mar-riage and taking children or non-consenting adults out of Canada for forced marriages abroad and removing any defence for so-called ‘honour killings’.

A tip line and an integrated RCMP task force to step up enforcement of the act was announced last Fri-day as part of the Conservative platform, but has received criti-cism from political opponents for the potential of opening the door to abuses

and malicious false reporting.In a media release this week, Higginbo-

tham took aim at what she termed the cre-ation of a “1-800-Tattle-Tale line.”

“I’m a Liberal, but first and foremost a Canadian,” she said in her statement. “These fear and scare tactics have no place in our politics. The Conservatives call-ing for a citizen-based call centre to encourage reporting on one another is absurd.

“Is this really a long-term crime solution? Sounds more like a chap-ter out of Orwell’s novel, 1984.”

The Conservatives’ announce-ment of the tip line included a quote from incumbent MP Kellie Leitch (Simcoe-Grey):

“While these may be uncomfort-able topics for (Liberal Leader) Justin Trudeau and (NDP Leader) Thomas Mulcair,” Leitch said, “Conservatives believe that we should be clear about our funda-

mental Canadian values.

Burlington Northern Santa Fe is defend-ing the practices of rail crews travelling along White Rock’s waterfront, after the mayor said last week that Transport Canada had “laid down the law” on overnight whistling.

Spokesperson Gus Melo-nas told Peace Arch News Wednesday that BNSF had a “cordial, pro-ductive” discussion with Transport Canada Sept. 24 regarding the train-whistle param-eters and that crews are being reminded of the protocol to “ensure compliance.”

Melonas pointed out, however, that safety along the railway is the company’s num-ber-one concern, and that engineers are

required to sound the horn in the event of trespassers on or near the tracks.

“If there is a dangerous situation, then we will sound the horn 24/7,” Melonas said. “There are often situations when there are

people or animals on the railway, and regardless of the time, our crews have to sound the warning to protect everyone’s safety.”

Transport Canada pro-vided a similar statement to PAN earlier this week, after Mayor Wayne Baldwin announced at council Sept. 28 that the regulating body had threatened to fine BNSF if they don’t follow the overnight whistling-cessation protocol.

Melonas said the railway is “taking steps to abide by the requirements.”

All-candidates debate hears from five of six South Surrey-White Rock hopefuls

Rail relocation a popular view

Council reception

‘Crummy’ TransLink servicederidedMelissa Smalley Staff Reporter

TransLink officials visiting White Rock this week to discuss improve-ments to bus services got an earful from elected officials.

Tim Savoie, TransLink’s vice-president of transportation, plan-ning and policy, made a presenta-tion Monday evening to inform city council and staff about some proposed “near-term changes to improve the transit network within existing resources.”

Emphasizing that TransLink is working with no new funding sources, Savoie said there are eight proposed changes for White Rock bus routes, designed for increased efficiency, decreased travel time and to extend service to areas with high demand.

Savoie said officials will be reach-ing out to the community in the coming weeks for feedback on the proposed changes.

“Consultation is absolutely vital to a successful plan,” Savoie said. “We want to hear what people have to say.”

Coun. Lynne Sinclair, who described herself as a regular tran-sit user, said she had concerns that expansions in other parts of Metro Vancouver –  such as the Ever-green Line – would mean a loss of service for White Rock. Pointing to the C52 community bus as an example, she said frequent changes in bus schedules and routes make it confusing for riders to plan their trips.

“How can you be a regular rider when everything changes every five minutes out here?” Sinclair asked.

“The changes that seem to be in the offing here are almost designed to decrease ridership.”

Coun. David Chesney echoed Sin-clair’s sentiment about bus services, noting a “dramatic cut” in commu-nity buses throughout White Rock, and the difficulties posed by the reduction to hourly buses that took effect more than a year ago.

Tracy HolmesStaff Reporter

The majority of candidates in the Oct. 19 federal election who faced a crowd of some 250 residents Wednesday evening agreed that train tracks running along the White Rock and South Surrey waterfront should be relocated.

Relocating the line inland has been a particu-larly hot topic for the Peninsula in recent years, following the 2013 Lac Mégantic derailment, the death of a jogger on White Rock tracks that same summer and ongoing plans to build a coal-transfer facility at Fraser Surrey Docks.

At the South Surrey-White Rock all-candi-dates forum at First United Church, relocation received clear support from NDP Pixie Hobby, Liberal Judy Higginbotham, Green Larry Colero and Progressive Canadian Brian Marlatt.

“I would work like crazy to get (the reloca-tion) through,” Hobby told those who turned out to the train-focused forum.

Higginbotham described relocation as “essential… doable.”

Marlatt said the federal government “has the right and responsibility to act in the interest of Canadians… when the interest of Canadians is in peril.”

Colero said relocating the line is the only way to address local concerns. He described the financial cost as irrelevant.

“What are our lives worth here?”Libertarian Bonnie Hu’s position was less

clear. She said the matter should be discussed with those in the industry and private-prop-erty owners, and that such decisions should be moved away from the federal government to provincial and municipal officials.

Conservative candidate Dianne Watts did not attend – moderator Helen Fathers noted she had declined due to a previous commitment – but has supported rail relocation during her

last term as Surrey’s mayor, when four options for realigning the tracks inland were presented.

Wednesday, Colero suggested Watts’ take on the issue has shifted. He chided her “for ini-tially supporting it then abruptly changing… her position to something more palatable to the Conservative party.”

Meeting organizer Daphne McFarland said she and Cindy McMullen were moved to arrange it – with help from Paula Williams, co-founder of Communities and Coal – after noticing rail issues were not a focus of other forums.

“You could argue that the train is the most important issue for this riding,” McFarland told the crowd.

In addition to how they would make reloca-tion a reality, the candidates were asked – in the context of dangerous goods being trans-ported through the area and the potential for derailment – what changes they would make to ensure the community’s safety; how they would mitigate the impact of increased train traffic; what they would do to change how Canada’s port authorities and Transport Can-ada are run to better-reflect local concerns in decision-making processes; and, their position on U.S. thermal-coal exports and the Fraser Surrey Docks coal-transfer facility.

Regarding the latter, Hu said her party stands for free-market principles and property rights; Colero described the facility as “an insane ven-ture that must be stopped”; Marlatt said – to applause – that the best solution “may be to change the government”; Hobby said no to thermal coal and that the FSD project needs to be subjected to a proper assessment “based on solid science”; Higginbotham said “we should absolutely not even think about it.”

Higginbotham made a point of highlighting Watts’ absence during the discussion.

“We don’t want to see this happen and unfor-tunately, the one person that does isn’t here to face the music.”

Questions from attendees included one wanting to know how the candidates would be “accountable and transparent” for their expenses if elected. All of the candidates agreed the information should be fully in the public eye, and kept to a minimum.

“Integrity matters, and I don’t think that’s something the present government under-stands,” said Marlatt.

Higginbotham, Hobby and Colero said the information should be posted online and justi-fied; Hu pledged to keep her expenditures “as low as possible.”

The meeting was the second all-candidates event this week. Tuesday evening, the Penin-sula Homeless to Housing Task Force offered candidates and attendees an opportunity to discuss topics related to housing and home-lessness, at South Surrey’s Grace Point Church.

More than 100 people turned out to hear candidates Colero, Watts, Hobby and Higgin-botham address the issues.

Next up, the South Surrey & White Rock Chamber of Commerce will host an all-candi-dates debate Tuesday (Oct. 13), 7-8:30 p.m. at Southridge School, 2656 160 St.

He asked the TransLink repre-sentative how he travelled to the evening meeting; when Savoie responded that he arrived by car, Chesney said he felt, as a transit user, that is “a problem.”

“With all due respect to our mayor and the mayor of Surrey, when I look around the bus and see Mayor (Wayne) Baldwin and Mayor (Linda) Hepner on the bus, I’ll believe we’re heading in the right direction to having transit improved,” Chesney said.

(Both sit on the Mayors’ Coun-cil on Regional Transportation.)

Baldwin – who lightheart-edly noted he had taken the bus that same day – said he felt last year’s cuts had a negative impact on ridership, as buses running hourly make it difficult for users.

“There are a lot of people in this community that really depend on buses and they have a hard time getting around,” he said. “If they miss that bus by one minute, they’re done.”

Baldwin pointed out the various

sources of funding the city pro-vides TransLink, noting $2.1 mil-lion in property taxes, $375,000 from parking revenue and $120,000 from the federal gas tax.

“That’s a lot of money going to TransLink for the crummy ser-vice we get,” Baldwin said.

Savoie said TransLink officials will conduct public consulta-tions in the coming weeks – by means of an online survey, face-to-face discussions and a public forum – and will implement any changes as a result in early 2016.

Rep queried how he got to council from page 3

“Canadians overwhelmingly agree with our position – and that includes immigrants – who find these practices despicable and want the Canadian govern-ment to protect women who are victims of such violence.”

Higginbotham told Peace Arch News that mechanisms are already in place for reporting crimes or serious concerns about abuse tak-ing place on Canadian soil.

“The best tip line ever is to call 911… I certainly do not support another tip line, another burden on the RCMP,” she said, add-ing that she considers the move a “wedge issue” created by the Conservatives to divide residents from different cultures.

“One of the best ways to edu-cate ourself on other cultures is to get to know our neighbours.”

But Watts responded that the move is simply “another tool” for the RCMP in a longtime battle against violent abuse of women and children at home and abroad.

“We have a record of being international leaders in dealing with such issues as child exploi-tation and human trafficking,” she said. “This coincides with our overall record of what we are trying to do… of bringing atten-tion to all these things.”

Noting she was once part of a task force dealing with such issues on a local level, Watts said she is not concerned about the potential for malicious misuse of

such a tip line.“We can deal with a hypotheti-

cal situation but if, at the end of the day, calling an RCMP tip line helps a single child and helps us take care of them, then it’s well worth it,” Watts said.

It is the second time during the campaign that the two local can-didates have faced off over what Higginbotham said is designed to scare the electorate.

NDP candidate Pixie Hobby has also taken issue with what she has described as “fearmon-gering” by the Conservatives, noting she has heard from many people during doorstep cam-paigning that the approach has only added to a “strong anyone-but-Harper sentiment.”

South Surrey artist Don Li-Leger’s Encyclopedia House art installation in The Grove in Newton formally opened last Fri-day.

Surrounded by a small, appre-ciative crowd, Li-Leger cut the yellow tape across the doorway to the one-room structure – cre-ated out of discarded encyclope-dias and other texts – as his wife, Cora Li-Leger, offered the toast, “let the knowledge flow.”

The temporary structure is to remain at the site for the rest of the month.

Li-Leger, who created the installation as a commentary on homelessness – while society finds difficulty recycling obso-lete books – said he could not claim originality for his proj-ect. He told his audience he was inspired by the work of a Japanese architect in creating a “zero-yen house” to promote a Buddhist lifestyle of “living very simply.”

Cora Li-Leger said a “perfect storm” of factors – including co-operation from city officials (after initial red tape) and sup-port from Sources Community Resource Society and the Friends of the Grove organization – com-bined to make her husband’s long-cherished project a reality.

Coun. Vera LeFranc and Sur-rey-Newton MLA Harry Bains both noted how combined artis-tic expression and community intervention bring greater aware-ness to homelessness, while Sources executive director David Young noted the 10th annual Homelessness Awareness March takes place Oct. 16 at Newton Resources Centre at 10:30 a.m.

Li-Leger told Peace Arch News the appropriateness of the site had become increasingly appar-ent as the house was put together last week.

“People in the neighbourhood are dealing with issues we don’t see in South Surrey – a lot of people who came by got engaged with the intent of the project,” he said.

Congratulations are due to Mayor Wayne Baldwin both for his manner and his approach to Wednesday’s state-of-the-city

address at White Rock Community Centre.That evening, Baldwin was, as the saying goes,

“on his game.”Hosted by the South Surrey & White Rock

Chamber of Commerce, he spoke eloquently and decisively – like a man with a clear vision for the city.

He described himself as a fighter, in a way that could not be doubted by even the most cynical opponent. Yet his words also demonstrated a grasp of the rights and function of those who hold dissenting opinions – even those in the small group who were outside protesting against him, as guests arrived for his speech.

It was a performance that was calm, well-considered, and ultimately reassuring.

In a word: statesmanlike.It showed to those present the kind of

leadership the city of White Rock needs and deserves. It showed that Baldwin well understands that, and is more than capable of delivering it. And it is a side of his political personality that residents deserve to see at regular council meetings and throughout the mayor’s day-to-day duties.

Instead, particularly since his re-election last November, visitors have seen – all too frequently – not the conciliatory moderator, but the icy and dismissive autocrat. It is not just customary hecklers from the gallery, but also ordinary citizens and council colleagues who are seen to be treated as little better than minions, and who have been hectored and lectured in a high-handed, condescending manner – a route almost guaranteed to raise ire and fuel protest.

While there is the inarguable need to maintain decorum in council chambers, it has of late degenerated into heavy-handed attempts to assert authority.

In Baldwin’s speech Wednesday, he pledged that staff and council are committed to building a stronger community, facing challenges and opportunities with positivity and transparency.

If the city has any hope of moving forward in the optimistic way the mayor spoke of this week, it needs a leader that recognizes that exhibiting a kinder, gentler or more human side is in no way a betrayal of your convictions.

Nor is hearing out those who disagree with you, or being big enough to admit you may have erred.

To those of true strength, such an acknowledgement of humanity is not an admission of weakness, but an intimation of greatness.

opinionPeace Arch News

My wife and I often joke that, even though we don’t have many similar interests – I love sports,

she loves TV shows with titles that begin with ‘Housewives of…’ – our relationship works because, as she eloquently put it on one of our first dates, “You hate the same things that I hate.”

Awww.It’s that spirit of positivity that

led recently into a rare discussion of politics, during which I’d mentioned that I still had no idea who I would vote for on Oct. 19.

“I hate all the party leaders equally,” I said, joking, but sort of not.

“Well, who do you hate the least?” my wife asked.

And ignoring for the moment that a voting strategy based on dislike probably isn’t the best example of democracy in action, I had no answer anyway.

I’ve never been the most politically minded person. This is perhaps owing to the fact that, as George Constanza once said in an episode of Seinfeld, “If it’s not about sports, I find it very hard to concentrate.”

Or it could be that my political will was quashed years ago, when, in the one and only political science class I ever took in college, I nearly failed an assignment because I was told by my professor – an enthusiastic supporter and unabashed

member of a certain political party – that the opinion I expressed in an opinion essay was wrong.

I’ve also been my own worst enemy, at times. I haven’t always cared as much as I should. I’ve skipped voting on election

night if there’s been a good game on TV. And I distinctly remember, in one of my first-ever opportunities to vote upon reaching legal age, I voted for a provincial candidate of a so-called “fringe” party because, and only because, I thought he kind of looked like Mr. T.

But regardless of my past indifference, I care now. I pay attention to what party leaders say, I look up the platforms of each and figure out what I like and what I don’t.

And, yet, I am still as confused as ever. Because every time I think I have a grasp on what I want to do, some party leader – or even candidates from elsewhere in the country – opens his or her mouth and says something dumb, something that makes me think, “There is just no way I can vote for you anymore.”

Across the country, it’s just been blunder after blunder. Since the writ was dropped, we’ve had a Conservative candidate caught on camera peeing into someone’s coffee mug; an NDP candidate admit that she didn’t know

what Auschwitz is; and a former Liberal candidate, since dropped, who referred to the RCMP as the “Canadian Gestapo.”

Here in the riding of South Surrey-White Rock – not the riding I live in, I should add – we’ve had Liberal candidate Joy Davies replaced by Judy Higginbotham because of the former’s pro-marijuana views, which included suggestions that second-hand marijuana smoke isn’t harmful to children.

These are our leaders of tomorrow, people.

In my own riding, I’m still equally confused, even if none of the candidates there have yet to remove any feet from their mouths. My decision – and perhaps that of others in my neighbourhood – is clouded further still by the fact that we live on the border of two ridings, and election signs for each seem to overlap. It’s tough enough to decide between parties, let alone have to figure out which of a party’s two candidates is actually yours.

For people truly invested and interested, it’s not a problem. But in an election season that’s been screaming for change – for new, younger voters to come to the forefront – it’s just another roadblock.

So maybe, as my wife suggested, I’ll vote for the party I hate the least.

Or, and perhaps this is the best solution, I simply ignore party affiliation and vote for the individual candidate in my riding whom I think will do the best job locally. A person who will fight for local issues, who will be accountable to his or her local constituents, rather than just be another cog in the machine in Ottawa.

And if I still can’t decide come election day, maybe I’ll just vote for whoever looks most like Mr. T.

Chamber of surprisesEditor:Re: Mayor calls in police to eject former councillor, Sept. 30.

Ya shoulda been at last week’s City of White Rock council meeting and public meeting!

You would have witnessed Mayor Wayne Baldwin be the lone dissenting vote to have council agendas sent out in a timely manner, three working days prior to the council meeting instead of the day before; you would have heard Coun. Grant Meyer tout highrise towers as a way to pay for his pet projects – restaurant on the pier, expanded marina and a funicular down to the waterfront.

And, oh yeah, you would have witnessed Mayor Baldwin call in the RCMP on a little old lady trying to clarify a point she made earlier at the public meeting!

Public meetings are open to the public and the public is allowed to speak, each person being given five minutes to speak; if the person runs out of time, they are allowed to speak again after all others have spoken.

Well, this woman was against a citizen/developer’s request to add seven feet in height to his proposed 12,000-square-foot house. When her turn came around again to speak, the mayor said, “We don’t want to hear you anymore” and refused to let her speak. When she protested, the mayor adjourned the meeting and asked the city clerk to call the RCMP to have her evicted.

Two policemen arrived. After discussion with the city clerk

and mayor, the RCMP deemed it inappropriate to intervene and Baldwin had no choice but to resume the meeting, tail between his legs.

Be sure to attend the next city council meeting. Don’t miss the entertainment!Erika Johanson, White Rock

Re: Armed presence not democracy, Oct. 2 letters.

A number of letter-writers are under the serious misapprehension that “democracy” and “freedom of speech” give an individual the absolute right to say absolutely anything in absolutely any circumstances.

Not so! There are still rules.And claiming a ‘democratic

right’ to disrupt a public meeting, aggressively, is witless thinking.

Next offence could be a meeting-disrupter stabbing the mayor with a ballpoint pen!David Poole, Surrey

Slow news day? Proofreaders gone?

In a 6-by-6½-inch section of the letters page, five – no, six, count them, including the headline – mentions of “armed” police?

Really? Can we ask for unarmed police?

Should the RCMP return to their lockers and put their guns away before going into the City of White Rock chambers? Judy Thomas, Surrey

File photoFour of six candidates in South Surrey-White Rock address Southridge School students at a debate last week.

Editor:I woke up with the song, Anything You Can Do, rattling

my brain: “No, you can’t. Yes, I can. No, you can’t…”It brought a clearer perspective to me about

competition between political parties in our national election. Each party seems to think it can “run” Canada better than the others, and each voter has to struggle to figure out which one might actually do the best job.

Surely, the human race has already learned that co-operation and reciprocity are more productive and conducive to the welfare of all than competition will ever be, and I yearn for the day when everyone running for office has an attitude of wanting to co-operate with all those elected in doing the best possible job for all citizens.

The job is just too complex to rely on one “leader.”This would involve everyone elected to amiably,

respectfully and as equals consult together at the beginning of their term, determine ranked priorities and set a budget that is practical and most likely to best advance the development of the agreed-upon priorities. Working together in unity will always trump competition and leave incumbents freer to contribute according to their individual skills, capacities and specialized interests.

Doing this would be far more fruitful than just changing parties and continuing to attack each other!Merrill Muttart, White Rock

How unfortunate that some of the political parties are so desperate, they run has-beens and opportunists with questionable pasts and zero achievements.

We need the party where the prime minister does not become a dictator and all other representatives have equal say and represent their constituency in a proper way.Brian Lauder, Surrey

Re: Know the issues, make your choice, Oct. 2 editorial.Your editorial on voting closes with a tired mantra, not

an argument, still less a sensible one: “The reality is that those who don’t vote will have no right to complain.”

Leaving aside the statement’s pomposity, this is a vacuous proposition. Some people don’t vote because the voting system is patently and cynically rigged.

To participate in it is to give it the appearance of legitimacy, and the reality is, if even fewer people voted, the system would have to be altered and, amazingly, could move towards something truly representative.

As it is, if you live in a large city, your vote counts less; if you live in the Maritimes, you are over-represented nationally; if you vote for one of the smaller parties, your vote is a mere howl of protest.

The first-past-the-post system gives us fake majorities and even fake minority governments. We need, as quickly as possible, to get rid of it. The voting system as we know it should be consigned to the dustbin of history.John Stape, Surrey

Thank you for an excellent editorial advising the electorate to focus on the real issues that are important to them. Despite what some candidates are promoting, the issue of terrorism is not a major concern in my daily life. The same can be said for the choice of headdress for a small number of people at citizenship ceremonies.

However, the ongoing ‘free-for-all’ that exists in our community with turf wars between rival gangs is a serious matter for me. Follow the money as 80 per cent of criminal revenue in B.C. comes from cannabis.

While some parties will continue to be “tough on crime” and continually fail us, it is about time that we started to be “smart on crime” by creating novel strategies. In this election, I suggest we all look to cast our vote to someone with a new strategy.David Hutchinson, Surrey

Re: More unity than debate at forum, Oct. 2.I was one of many who attended the all-candidates

meeting in Crescent Beach on Sept. 29, and was encouraged to see the level of co-operation and respect displayed by the three candidates who participated.

The reality of our first-past-the-post system is frustrating, to say the least, as I would like my vote to count. Proportional representation would be such a blessing, but I fear that it won’t happen in my lifetime.

I believe that if we could see a few more Green MPs in Ottawa, their presence in Parliament would be a positive step for democracy.

It is noteworthy that Larry Colero, this riding’s Green candidate, is directing donations and monies raised to the national party to raise awareness about their platform. My heart always tells me to vote “Green.”

Ideally, I would like to see the Green party having the opportunity to work collaboratively with all parties, regardless of who ‘wins’. It would be such a healthy approach to see politicians having a healthy and productive dialogue in the House of Commons.

Thankfully – and partisanship aside – our NDP and Liberal candidates are good people, and regardless of affiliation would be an improvement over the leadership we have endured for the past several years. Linda Ewart, White Rock

Having been a member of the Green party since 1988 and having advocated on behalf of the principles and policies of that party as a candidate in three different elections, I was disappointed to find that the NDP had managed to convince Pixie Hobby, an excellent environmental lawyer and upbeat hard working member of our community, to represent them in my constituency.

I have had to switch allegiances for this federal election and cast my advance-poll vote for the New Democrats.

Of course, what I’m hoping will be the final outcome, after my fellow Canadians have voted in record numbers, is that we will have a coalition government with the inspirational Elizabeth May as the prime minister.Steve Chitty, Surrey

Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

The future of White Rock looks bright, according to Mayor Wayne Baldwin who delivered his annual state-of-the-city address at a business-sponsored function Wednesday.

Baldwin highlighted some of coun-cil’s successes from his past term in office, and outlined priorities for the current council.

At the outset of his 30-minute speech, hosted by the South Surrey & White Rock Chamber of Commerce, Bald-win acknowledged a group of about 20 protestors outside of White Rock Community Centre, who were staging the second rally in recent weeks calling for Baldwin’s resignation.

“More than 200 years ago, Voltaire said ‘I disagree with what you say, but would defend to the death your right to say it,’” Baldwin said, noting his 15 years in the army meant he agreed with the sentiment. “While I disapprove of what those outside were saying, I will defend their right to say it in an appropriate time and place. But maybe not to the death.”

Baldwin described the “many suc-cesses” of city council since he took office nearly four years ago.

Among accomplishments, Baldwin noted increased rail safety and whistle cessation, changes to the solid-waste utility, arts festivals and events, an increase in community outreach and a near-complete tourism strategy.

Garnering applause from the audi-

ence of around 65 – including council-lors and city staff – was mention of the city’s ongoing takeover of the water util-ity, which Baldwin touted as “the largest single expenditure in city history.”

Looking ahead, Baldwin noted the Official Community Plan update (expected to be done by December 2016), Johnston Road improvements (estimated to be finished by the end of 2017), increased ice time for sports groups and waterfront improvements.

Baldwin also lamented on the city’s “physical challenge” of connecting people from uptown to the waterfront, and announced that staff are exploring the feasibility of a funicular system.

“This is something that would be a waterfront attraction, as well as serve as a practical means of getting people, including those with mobility limita-tions, up and down the hillside,” Bald-win said of the “ambitious” project.

The subject of relocating the rail-way was also mentioned, as Baldwin acknowledged the scope of embarking on such a project.

“We recognize that this will be a long process, one that is not likely to be concluded in this term of office,” he said.

Baldwin ended on an optimistic note, saying that while change is inevitable, he believed it could be managed in a “constructive, transparent, collabora-tive and positive” manner.

“Get your sunglasses ready, because the future of White Rock is exceed-ingly bright,” he said.

opinion

In three of the five Surrey ridings up for grabs in the Oct. 19 federal election,

crime is a hot topic.That’s what the candidates

are saying. They hear about it all the time on the doorsteps, over and over. People in Surrey-Newton, Surrey Centre and Fleetwood-Port Kells are saying there needs to be drastic changes so that random shootings and gang activity are reduced, if not eliminated.

It’s not surprising. There have been dozens of random shootings this year, and Surrey-Newton MLA Harry Bains’ nephew was shot to death this spring.

Most, if not all, of the shootings are linked to the drug trade.

Voters in Surrey-Newton are particularly concerned, as many of the shootings are taking place in Newton neighbourhoods. In one particularly troubling case, shooters were active near Strawberry Hill Elementary on Sept. 15, as children were playing in the area. One man was injured, and bullets struck the school building.

Newton resident Meera Gill, who lives near the school, has had enough. She helped organize a meeting with candidates on Sunday to discuss the issue of gun violence. She and others wanted to hear what they had to say on the issue.

Candidates are particularly

responsive in Surrey-Newton, as it is a genuine three-way race and each vote will really count. NDP incumbent Jinny Sims is battling Sukh Dhaliwal,

who was the Liberal MP for Newton-North Delta from 2006-2011, and Conservative Harpreet Singh, who is well-known for his television talk show.

At Sunday’s meeting, there were clashes over how quickly a contingent of 100 extra RCMP officers is arriving in Surrey. That is a valid issue, but extra police will have little impact on random

shootings. Surrey needs extra officers, and has for years, but the people who shoot at each other (and their homes, cars etc.) pay little attention to police.

There was also discussion about intervention programs, likely a better long-term solution. Young people need to learn, before they are tempted by the easy money of selling drugs, what the ultimate price is.

They also need to be given a wide choice of alternate activities. Those involved in sports, music, drama, community groups and other things don’t have the time or inclination to sell drugs.

Surrey RCMP and school district have an intervention program that works with 300 youth a year – the Surrey Wrap program, which assists youth at risk of falling into a gang

lifestyle.The RCMP also sponsors

several sports programs, and many others are deeply involved in alternatives for youth. These types of programs may do far more good than simply adding police officers.

Because by the time police are called in due to criminal activity, it is often far too late.

Gill wants young people to be safe, and she is right to push politicians on that point. There is no better time to hold them to account than during an election campaign.

Young people should be able to live their day-to-day lives without fearing shootings in their neighbourhood.

On Sept. 1, 74-year-old Ping Shun Ao was killed in Abbotsford, as a result of shots being fired by members of a gang.

They were actually shooting at a neighbouring home. Ao was in his yard, and was killed. That area of Abbotsford has seen many random shootings this year.

No one wants to see a repeat of that tragedy in Surrey or anywhere.

Those seeking office on Oct. 19 in Surrey must commit to an active program of keeping youth disinterested in drug and gang activity. The community will be a much better place when random shootings become a thing of the past.

perspectives…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Tracy HolmesStaff Reporter

A grant from the City of Surrey has a group of Ocean Park residents sprucing up a well-used walkway –

an effort they say is not only reconnecting the neighbourhood, but preserving a little of its charm along the way.

“The street is changing before our very eyes,” said Carol Savage, a resident of 20 years who led the charge to give ‘Church House Lane’, on 15A Avenue and 131 Street, some much-needed TLC.

Savage said small houses in her neighbourhood, more and more, are being sold and torn down to make way for

duplexes and monster houses – development she describes as “invasive,” filling the lots end-to-end, and steadily eating away at the area’s greenspace and overall character.

With the development, residents have also noticed an increase in traffic and crime.

The enhancement project – undertaken by 15 neighbors on Sept. 26, with a commitment to maintain it for the foreseeable future – was a way to hang onto some of the greenspace, and bring the community together, Savage said.

“We lose the space, we lose the trees and we also lose the charm,” she said.

“We needed to try and reconnect with our neighbours, to start looking out for each other.”

The idea to take the walkway under wing came to Savage early in the summer, after she noticed surveyors in the greenspace, and heard rumour that it may be rezoned for development. While she’s been told there’s no such application currently in the works, she’s hopeful if one is ever made, the community’s commitment to the space will remind officials of its importance to the residents and encourage them to preserve it.

In her grant application, she asked for $770 to help make the project happen, committing to match the funds with donated time and equipment.

(Grants of up to $3,000 are available for small projects that improve the physical appearance of a neighbourhood; visit

surrey.ca/community)Prior to last month’s garden day, the

space consisted basically of 13 mature trees and weeds. The “amazing amount” of work undertaken included the planting

of approximately 20 shrubs, moving seven yards of dirt, planting 100 daffodil bulbs and creating a rock garden.

It was an “overwhelming success,” Savage said.

Savage noted the walkway became known as Church House Lane for the neighbouring home – now vacant – that was originally a church, built in 1921.

She estimates more than 100 people use the lane every day.

Going forward, she expects garden days will be organized at least twice a year. In between, high school students have committed an hour per week to regular maintenance of the space; time they can put towards their volunteer credits. (Surrey students need a minimum 30 hours of volunteer/work experience to graduate; other students wishing to work in the garden may contact Savage at [email protected])

“We’re committed to keep the space maintained… as long as we’re in the neighbourhood,” she said.

A longtime community volunteer who passed away this summer was honoured at White Rock city council Monday.

Frances de Montreuil, a member of the White Rock and Surrey Naturalists and volunteer at the Eva Bene Butterfly Garden, passed away July 29 at Peace Arch Hospital.

In acknowledg-ing de Montreuil’s contributions to the community, Mayor Wayne Baldwin said she was instrumen-tal in the butterfly release program and a “tireless advocate” for the benefits of green space around the city.

After a photo presentation, Baldwin presented de Montreuil’s son, Larry, and daughter, Camille, with flowers and a framed photograph of butterflies.

Re-openingThe transformation of

Best Buy in South Surrey is being marked with grand-opening festivities at the 2267 160 St. store today (Friday).

Officials said highlights are to include the giveaway of a $500 gift card and attendance by members of the Surrey Eagles.

The event follows the announcement earlier this year that Future Shop would be closing all of its stores; 66 permanently, with another 65 – including that in South Surrey – transitioning to Best Buy.

That news came two years after the Morgan Crossing Best Buy was unexpectedly shuttered. The site was soon after named as among seven Best Buy and eight Future Shops big-box locations slated to close across Canada, as part of a restructuring plan.

Tuesday, Best Buy officials said highlights of the transformed store include expanded products sections, particularly in emerging technologies; a Windows Store, where customers can see, try, compare and purchase a range of Microsoft products and accessories; and mobile-phone expertise.

New boardThe White Rock

Business Improvement Association has a new board of directors for 2015-2016.

In a news release Greysen saluted the board as “a diverse, hard-working and enthusiastic group of business people who dedicate hundreds of volunteer hours for

the betterment of the White Rock business community.”

She said that the BIA has made “great strides” in developing stronger programs and initiatives to support the growth and success of member businesses, including value-added member services and “building a strong business brand for White Rock.”

lifestyles

This month, we will have the opportunity to

exercise our democratic right to vote and stand up for the policies and values that we believe in.

I encourage all Canadians to cast their ballots.

The government that will lead our country will shape both our domestic and international policies.

There exists a considerable overlap between these two spheres and one is not isolated from the other. International policies impact the domestic political and social

landscape, and vice versa.

We need to elect a government that will

effectively manage our country, while ensuring Canada plays a role in helping address international human-rights issues, such as the refugee crisis, international development, climate change, and corporate

accountability. A recently leaked

memo from the Department of Foreign Affairs reveals how Canada can do much to improve its foreign-policy record, as its contributions in certain

areas have decreased over the years. As a country that has traditionally played a prominent role on the world stage, Canada has an opportunity to use its considerable political influence in international affairs for positive change.

Regardless of which party wins on Oct. 19, we need to make sure the government is fulfilling its promises and that it takes action on issues of importance.

One such area is accountability of Canadian corporations in other states. Certainly, many Canadian businesses contribute positively, in both an economic and social sense. However, all corporations, including resource-extraction enterprises, should be held accountable when their actions infringe principles of justice.

Violations of international human-rights law negatively affects the lives of people. It also infringes upon the values of social justice that we as Canadians hold dear.

In many cases, communities that already face issues like poverty face further

injustice when their homes and lives are threatened. In many cases, they are unable to successfully turn to the legal system in their home countries.

The disproportionate power structure between corporations and individuals, and the record of violations, clearly points to the need for some sort of change to the existing system and legal mechanisms. This important issue needs to be dealt with in our legislative system.

In the future, it would be most effective to have an international human rights and business treaty, as has been proposed in the UN. This would create international instruments for effective corporate accountability, and domestic legal instruments in countries around the world so that citizens could pursue legal action.

Until that point, however, people who have suffered a violation of their rights should not be abandoned with no place to turn.

The next TransLink CEO will be paid significantly less than predecessor Ian Jarvis.

The TransLink board and Metro Vancouver mayors’ council agreed last week on a new $325,092-$406,364 salary range for the position.

No bonuses or vehicle allowances will be paid.

The mayors’ council said it expects the board to recruit a new CEO at no more than $365,000 – the mid-point of the approved salary range. If that happens, the next CEO will be paid at least 15 per cent less than $435,015 Jarvis collected in 2014.

That compensation figure included $319,244 base salary, $18,100 in car allowance and $97,671 in bonuses, but not pension and regular benefits.

TransLink’s board has

also eliminated vehicle allowances for all other executives.

Executive pay was a key factor that stirred public anger against TransLink leading up to the defeat of this

year’s plebiscite on a sales tax increase for transit.

“We believe that by eliminating bonuses and car allowances, and cutting the number of senior positions at TransLink, we

have addressed those concerns,” board chair Barry Forbes said, noting the salary range for the CEO was guided by an independent analysis comparing TransLink to other similar public-sector employers across Canada.

“This is a very vital public service and we need good leadership,” Forbes said.

Not all mayors supported the new pay

range for the CEO.White Rock Mayor

Wayne Baldwin voted against it, arguing it was too high and the maximum should have been cut to $365,000.

“I thought some of the comparators they used were too rich and not appropriate,” Baldwin said.

He said the consultant based the range in part on the higher executive pay levels offered at YVR airport authority, Port Metro Vancouver, BC Ferries, the BC Lotteries Corp. and BC Hydro.

Baldwin noted mayors rejected an even higher pay range initially proposed by the consultant and it took some “back and forth” with the board before the mayors could accept the final pay range.

“I also recognized there were some concerns about the manoeuvering room – if they found a really

good candidate would they be stuck and lose them for lack of $5,000 or something,” Baldwin said.

The search for a new CEO had been put on hold this summer, at the suggestion of new Communities Minister Peter Fassbender, pending a decision on the pay issue and an exploration of possible governance reforms.

The recruitment will now resume.

Fassbender said he supports the new pay limits, on the understanding the new CEO is hired at no more than the mid-range.

The issue of CEO pay had been a sticking point for area mayors who feared TransLink might hire a new CEO at the same pay as Jarvis.

Jarvis was replaced in February but continues at the same pay as a consultant until his contract runs out.

B.C.’s Asia trade will benefit from the Trans-Pacific Partner-ship, the world’s largest free-trade agreement, reached Monday after all-night discussions with 11 Pacific Rim countries, according to business and provincial gov-ernment officials.

Jobs Minister Shirley Bond cau-tioned that legal work and ratifica-tion by the 12 countries involved still needs to be done, but the TPP removes barriers for B.C. produc-ers of seafood, minerals, forest and farm products in countries such as Japan, Malaysia and Vietnam.

“Generally speaking, any time British Columbia can compete on a fair and level playing field, we’re going to do well,” said Bond, cit-ing trade growth in cherries, blue-berries and wood products.

The B.C. Chamber of Com-merce says fish and seafood are currently subject to 15 per cent duty in Japan and Malaysia, up to 34 per cent in Vietnam and up to five per cent in New Zealand. Beef, fresh and frozen vegetables, fresh cherries and fresh and fro-zen blueberries also face tariffs in Asian countries.

The tentative deal has emerged as a major issue in the federal-

election campaign. Prime Min-ister Stephen Harper outlined a $4 billion “income guarantee program” for Canada’s protected dairy and egg producers, to com-pensate farmers for lost income due to new foreign imports for 10 years after the TPP takes effect.

NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair blasted the agreement as a “sell-out” of Canadian auto workers and farmers that will also see drug prices rise in Canada.

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau said his party is pro-free trade, but will study the agreement and “take the responsible time to do what’s right for Canada.”

B.C. business likes trade dealTrans-Pacific-Partnership removes barriers for several exports

“Building a home and financing our business, it’s everything we’ve worked for.”

Sheila ReynoldsBlack Press

The family of a man shot to death at a Christmas Eve party in Surrey nearly four years ago is frustrated the trial for his accused killer won’t begin until March 2016.

Russell Bidesi is charged with the second-degree murder of Bradley McPherson on Dec. 24, 2011. His trial was initially scheduled for February 2015 before being put forward to August.

But on the day Bidesi’s trial was to begin in August, his defence lawyer announced he was withdrawing from the case for ethical and professional reasons, leaving the accused without counsel and forcing the trial to be rescheduled.

“It was a real shock to our system,” McPherson’s mom, Susan Simning, who took a leave of absence from work so she could attend the summer trial, said last month. “We were blindsided.

“The family is heartbroken and frustrated we have to wait even longer.”

McPherson, 28, was

shot at a get-together in a home near 131 Street and 67A Avenue. At the time of Bidesi’s arrest in April 2013, police said they believed McPherson had stepped in when he saw

someone being disrespected and was fatally shot.

Bidesi’s trial is now scheduled to begin March 21 – two days before what would have been McPherson’s 33rd birthday.

Simning dreads the further six-month wait.

“There is no regard for victims’ lives… all those people who are out there waiting and wanting to have some closure. Everything is put on hold – again.”

She said the slow-moving legal system has been exasperating.

“It has been agony, that’s probably the best word because emotionally, you start right from the beginning.”

Bidesi was found guilty of manslaughter earlier this year in the shooting death of 31-year-old Kacey Rogers in Surrey in February 2012. He has yet to be sentenced for that conviction.

White Rock residents who purchase parking decals can expect to pay a little more for their 2016 passes, as council is expected to vote to approve higher fees later this month.

A Fees and Charges Bylaw was presented to council Monday evening, which would see increases in fees, attributed in a staff report to “recovering increased costs.”

The proposed increases are as follows: resident parking decals from $40 to $42; non-

resident commercial property decals from $125 to $131; merchant decals (Marine Drive and Vidal Street) from $300 to $315; resident decals (specific properties on Marine Drive) from $265 to $278; monthly reserved parking from $120 to $126; additional reserved parking decal from $25 to $26; and Centennial Park/Arena decal from $15 to $16.

At the request of Coun. Helen Fathers, council voted to refer the Centennial Park/Arena fee

to the city’s upcoming Financial Plan, for discussion on whether the city should maintain or eliminate the parking fee. City staff noted that while that particular fee would remain in the bylaw for now, it could be amended at a later date, should council vote to do so.

Parking decals go on sale Nov. 1 at White Rock City Hall, the White Rock Community Centre, Centennial Park Leisure Services and Kent Street Activity Centre.

Sheila ReynoldsBlack Press

A Surrey man who killed three people in three separate attacks in 2013 has received a mandatory life sentence and can’t apply for parole for at least 18 years.

Sarbjit Bains pleaded guilty in April to killing Delta’s Amritpal Saran, 29, and two women from New Westminster – Jill Lyons, 45 and Karen Nabors, 48.

Last week, Bains was handed the life sentence in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster. He cannot apply to the parole board for release before 2033.

Justice Miriam Maisonville heard that on the night Saran was killed in February 2013, he, Bains and Bains’ girlfriend, Eve-lina Urbaniak, were drinking and doing drugs. While details are limited, lawyers submitted an agreed statement saying Bains and Saran kept partying after Urba-

niak went to bed. Bains left to go to the bathroom and “snapped” when he returned to find Saran naked in Urbaniak’s bedroom. He choked Saran to death and he and Urbaniak later disposed of the body on Colebrook Road.

In August 2013, Lyons was found dead in an apartment complex in New Westminster. Two weeks later, the body of Nabors was dis-covered in the same building.

During sentencing, it was revealed that Bains had planned to rob both women – who adver-tised online as escorts – but ended up killing both.

Bains was arrested and charged with all three murders in Janu-ary 2014. He pleaded guilty last spring to two counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of Lyons and Nabors and to man-slaughter in Saran’s death.

Second-degree murder carries an automatic life sentence. A

10-year sentence for the man-slaughter conviction will be served concurrently.

Bains’ sentence includes a life-time firearms prohibition.

Family and friends of all three victims either read or submitted statements at Bains’ sentencing hearing in September.

“My house was warm until you took my son away,” Saran’s mom, Jatinder, told Bains.

Nabors’ son submitted a victim-impact statement that read, in part, “It hurts so much that she is gone. You have no idea.”

Sherri Hickman, Lyons’ mother, said she lost all belief in the good-ness of the human race when her daughter was murdered.

Urbaniak pleaded guilty ear-lier this year to interfering with a dead body in connection to Saran’s death and received a two-year con-ditional sentence plus three years probation.

No parole for 18 years

arts & entertainment…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Alex BrowneArts Reporter

It’s a lingering irony that a well-used ancient First Nations trade route is remembered today – if it is remembered

at all – by the name of a Scotland-born explorer.

Mention the Nuxalk-Carrier Grease Trail to most people and you’re likely to get a blank look, even from those who pride themselves on knowing something about Canadian history.

But mention the journey of Alexander Mackenzie, who used the 450-km route from the Blackwater River (a tributary of the Fraser near Quesnel) to Bella Coola on the Pacific Coast, and you may get a flicker of recognition.

That journey – concluded on July 20, 1793 – was the significant final step in the first documented crossing of the North American continent “by a white man”, predating the expedition of U.S. explorers Lewis and Clark by 11 years.

In a further irony – as White Rock author Carol Blacklaws points out – Mackenzie’s American counterparts have a heritage trail and no less than 11 interpretive centres in their name, while Mackenzie’s route languishes in obscurity increasingly encroached on by external development.

“It’s not even recognized as a park corridor in Canada,” she said. “We tend not to celebrate our own accomplishments.”

But the Grease Trail (named for the grease of the eulachon fish – an important trading item among First Nations people many years before white explorers arrived) begins to get its due in Blacklaws’ moving memoir, In The Footsteps of Alexander Mackenzie (Image West, Vancouver), which includes copious historical notes by her husband, Rick, an archaeology teacher at Langara College.

Blacklaws, a former social studies, English and Spanish teacher and educational curriculum developer, will launch the book Oct. 8, 7:30 p.m. in the Turnbull Hall of the South Surrey Recreation and Arts Centre, 14601 20 Ave.

The title of her book may seem to reinforce the irony of the trail’s identification, but it is actually very truthful.

As a 25-year-old SFU grad employed as

an archaelogical field assistant by the B.C. Government in 1979, Blacklaws literally and figuratively followed in Alexander Mackenzie’s footsteps while surveying the trail.

Like him, she was an outsider. Like him, she learned not only a route but also discovered much to admire about the Native Lhoosk’uz Dene people, whose origins in the area go back some 4,000 years.

It is in no way a denigration of the accomplishment of Mackenzie, second-in-

command Alexander McKay and their six French-Canadian voyageurs and two native guides, to note that perhaps their wisest decision was to heed the advice of Dakelh First Nations people not to continue down the Fraser, but to follow a westward overland route to the coast.

And that journey, documented in detail in his journals, is the story of daily – and with no little credit to Mackenzie – peaceful encounters with hospitable coastal First Nations peoples who had long used a vast

trail system to link their communities and were already well-acquainted with non-natives and their trade goods.

As Blacklaws and her supervisor on the project – soon to become her partner in life – retraced Mackenzie’s trip, identifying hundreds of archaelogical sites, they marvelled at an environment and a way of life still, at that time, little changed from his day.

“We followed his journal,” Rick said. “His trail could be located from his descriptions of the landscape.”

“What blew me away was that you’d read the book and see the same fish camps – 4,000 years of continuous occupation,” Blacklaws said.

While Rick’s notes in the book fill in the historical facts (he is a much published author himself), his sensitive photographs of the people and Blacklaws’ personal narrative of her days working on the project supply a very human perspective.

“The story is about the trail and the archaeology and the history, but it’s most especially about the people who live along the trail,” said Blacklaws, who dedicated the book in part to the women of the Cariboo “who were tough enough to live the life, yet soft enough to open their hearts.”

“I wanted to tell it as a memoir, through the eyes of an archaeological assistant,” she said, adding that writing that way allowed her to offer first-hand observations and memories, without presuming to speak for First Nations peoples.

But the book has an added dimension – it also succeeds as a coming-of-age tale of a young and still uncertain woman who found her feet travelling by wagon and even driving horses overland in a country that writer Paul St. Pierre has described as “good for men and dogs, but hard on women and horses.”

In the process, she discovered that the man she was working with was the man she also wanted to spend the rest of her life with – and you don’t get a much more romantic historical tome than that.

“I like my story,” Blacklaws admits, adding that writing it allowed her to relive the experiences of her younger self.

But she’s also pleased to have been able to turn her experiences along the Grease Trail into a book she hopes will inspire young Canadians to discover their own capabilities by exploring the land.

“I also wrote it to be proud of Canada’s heritage,” Blacklaws said. “This is a story people need to hear because it’s so Canadian.”

No matter what happens on the pitch at national U16 soccer championships this week in South Surrey, Coastal FC’s girls squad won’t lack for motivation.

They’ve been waiting two years to compete on this stage.

National championships are held for age groups in two-year increments, and two years ago, as U14s, the Coastal squad – looking to qualify for nationals by virtue of winning a provincial title – seemed well on their way.

The team “waltzed through the season,” according to assistant coach Alan Campbell, but in provincial semifinals, lost a heart-breaker, on penalty kicks.

“It was a heartbreaking moment for the girls. Ever since then, they’ve had their eyes on this,” Campbell said of the U16 tourna-ment. “Back in June, when we (qualified), it was a pretty emotional moment.

“The girls are pumped. The trick for us coaches this week will be to calm them down and keep them grounded.”

Coastal FC qualified for the U16 tourna-ment back in June, after a 3-0 victory over Mountain FC in provincial finals. Mountain FC is also taking part in nationals this week, as a replacement for a provincial champion-ship squad that had to pull out of the tour-nament.

The U16 national championships – which features a girls and boys tournament – began Wednesday at South Surrey Athtletic Park,

and Coastal FC’s first game was played after press deadline Thursday, against P.E.I.

Today (Friday) the B.C. champions square off against Manitoba.

The girls tournament features four groups of three teams, and each team plays the oth-ers in the group in a round-robin. The top two teams from each division then move on to playoff rounds on the weekend. Quarter-finals are set for Saturday, semifinals are Sunday, and the championship game is set for Monday.

In the boys tournament, B.C. is repre-sented by Surrey United. They began play Wednesday afternoon against Newfound-land, while Nova Scotia, P.E.I. and Alberta are also on their round-robin schedule. Boys playoff rounds also begin on the weekend.

Though the competition will be fierce at both the girls and boys tournaments, Camp-bell figures his crew has as good a chance as any to win, but like any team bent on win-ning, they’ll need a few breaks along the way.

“You always need a bit of luck in a tour-nament like this, no matter how well you prepare, because the competition is so stiff,” he said, adding that his team also has to deal with the pressure of playing on their home turf.

“But if our players play the way they can play, I think we’ll have a good shot to go deep into the competition.”

The KPU Eagles are back atop the PACWEST standings, although they are sharing first place in the men’s soccer league with the Douglas College Royals.

KPU (Kwantlen Polytechnic University) split two games last weekend, gaining two points in the standings on a Douglas team which failed to score en route to a loss and a tie.

The Eagles edged the Quest Kermodes 3-2 Saturday at Newton Athletic Park, then lost 3-0 Sunday to the Vancouver Island Mariners in Nanaimo.

KPU and Douglas are both at 5-2-2 (won-lost-tied) nine games into the 15-game PACWEST (Pacific Western Athletic Conference) schedule.

Nawaf Binsaleh leads the Eagles in scoring with four goals, the fourth-highest total

in the PACWEST. Teammate Mateo Serka is sixth in the league scoring race with three goals in six starts.

Surrey’s David Hicks is ranked fourth in goaltending with a 1.39 goals-against average.

The Eagles will play the last-place Capilano Blues (2-5-1) twice next weekend, hosting the Blues Saturday in Newton then playing in North Vancouver Sunday.

The KPU women’s team is three points out of a PACWEST playoff position with six games remaining.

At 2-4-3, they trail the 4-5-0 Langara Falcons for fourth place. The Eagles picked up two points last weekend, playing to a scoreless draw with the Quest Kermodes Saturday, then tying the VIU Mariners 1-1 Sunday in Nanaimo.

Question: My sister and I looked after my elderly, unmarried, childless aunt

for years because we liked her and she had nobody else to help her. I am a bookkeeper, so she put all her money in a joint account with me. When she died we found that she had made a will naming me as her executor and bequeathed everything to my

three brothers and sisters and me. She had an estate of over $250,000 which was all in a local bank. She had no other property. The bank says it is my money, but two of my brothers say that in law the money is presumed to belong to her estate, and that I should probate her will. I actually agree that her estate should be divided equally between us all, but I am worried about the costs of lawyers, probate fees, court costs and other possible costs. What should I do?

Answer: They are right, the money is presumed to belong to the estate. But you can avoid the costs and the delay

of an application for probate by doing an accounting of her money and expenses such as funeral costs. When all of them have approved the accounting in writing, you can distribute the assets without probate. Don’t forget to keep a reserve for any unpaid income tax, and don’t release any monies until all have approved.

White Rock’s David Rhodes continues to make waves on baseball diamonds down south.

Last weekend in Peoria, Ariz., the teenage pitcher – who plays for Whalley Little League but was a White Rock-South Surrey Baseball Association member from 2008-’11 – played a key role in helping his Baseball Northwest Orange squad capture first place at the Arizona Sophomore Fall Classic on Oct. 4.

In the final, Rhodes’ squad earned a 4-3 come-from-behind victory over Southern California’s Trosky Baseball, with Rhodes tying the game late with an RBI-single in the seventh inning. One batter later, the winning run crossed the plate.

Earlier in the tournament, Rhodes pitched six innings of scoreless baseball – striking out seven batters – against the AZ Prospects, and left the game after 74 pitches with a no-hitter intact.

He also had an important RBI single as well as a sacrifice fly in an earlier game against the First Pitch Gamers.

The Baseball Northwest team – made up of Pacific Northwest players with a graduation year of 2018 or later – is part of a

college recruitment program based out of Aumsville, Ore.

Last summer, Rhodes also played for another Washington-

based squad, the Seattle Selects, at an under-17 USA Baseball tournament in Arizona.

They may not have got the win, but a trip south to Washington last week served as a learning experience for a young

group of Earl Marriott Mariner football players.

Last Friday, the Mariners’ senior team – devoid of most of the Grade 12 players, due to a conflicting school trip

– lost its first preseason game of the season, losing to Washington’s Vashon Island High School 56-30.

“We basically had our junior squad – we only

had one Grade 12 in the lineup – and we weren’t overmatched physically, but we were just no match for Vashon’s speed,” explained Marriott coach Michael

Mackay-Dunn. Despite the score,

the game had plenty of positives, according to the longtime coach. With so many seniors missing from the lineup, some of the Mariners’ younger players earned valuable playing time.

As well, Mackay-Dunn pointed out that his players were able to soak up the atmosphere of a U.S. high-school football game.

“It was just great. The stadium was packed, they had a marching band playing – it was everything you’d expect from a U.S. high school football team on a Friday night,” he said.

Quarterback Owen Dickie and receiver Lukas Frers led the Mariners’ offensive attack, with Dickie finishing with 290 yards passing and four touchdowns – all of which were thrown to Frers, who racked up 226 receiving yards along with his four scores. Thomas Van Egmond also had 51 yards receiving, while running back Al Vergara was the team’s top rusher, with 145 yards.

Bryce Niebuhr and Zak Katz also had strong performances, Mackay-Dunn said.

Vashon Island’s squad also plays an aggressive, unconventional style of football – “They never punt, and they do onside kicks every time,” Mackay-Dunn said – which exposed EMS players to yet another style of play, with the B.C. AA Tier 2 regular season fast approaching.

Earlier in preseason, against Nanaimo, the Mariners were also faced with defending the double-wing offence – another tough system to play against.

“Every experience is different, and every one is helpful. You can see how your players develop and react to all these different situations,” Mackay-Dunn said. “That way, (later in the season), if you see something different, you don’t get rattled.”

On Thursday, Marriott travelled to North Vancouver’s Carson Graham Secondary for another preseason tilt, but the game was played after Peace Arch News’ press deadline. EMS will play its first regular-season contest on Saturday, Oct. 17 against Howe Sound.

The Pain-Free, Hair-Free™ Laser Hair Removal treatment is laser hair removal at its fi nest, and is only available from Alma Lasers. The IN-MOTION technology gradually heats up the hair follicles under the skin until they can no longer produce new hair. Since the laser is in constant motion, your treatment area can be wider – which makes session go quickly. In addition, a patented DualChill mechanism ensures the surface of your skin stays cool and comfortable throughout your treatment. The Pain-Free, Hair-Free treatment is suitable for all skin types, including tanned skin. You can expect lasting result from a series of relatively short sessions.

Treatment for Vascular and Pigmented Lesions. Nearly 100% of all people have one or more pigmented lesion. Some are caused by sun exposure, others by aging. Still others are congenital. Regardless of the cause, pigmented lesions are simply spots on the skin where there is a higher concentration of melanin. Some lesions are fl at; others are raised. In most cases, pigmented lesions are merely a cosmetic concern, but in some cases, they can be an early sign of skin cancer. For most benign pigmented lesions that are of a cosmetic concern, there is a non-surgical option. By exposing a pigmented lesion to short pulses of visible light, the temperature in the highly concentrated melanin can be raised sharply, enough to shatter the cells containing the melanin. The body then replaces these cells

with new cells generated by the surrounding untreated area.

Venus Freeze Freeze time and reverse aging, through thermal magnetic rejuvenation. Venus

Freeze™ uses 100% safe Multi-Polar Radio Frequency and proven Magnetic Pulse Therapy to delivera more contoured silhouette,tighter skin, softer wrinkles, and a more youthful appearance.

Microneedling is a form of Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) and is a technique using a specialized device with fi ne, sharp, sterile needles which are rolled over the skin creating little channels. This causes micro-injuries to the skin, which in turn stimulates the body’s natural

wound healing response. The formation of new cells occurs and the fi broblasts are activated to create new collagen and elastin which plumps the skin and reverses the visible signs of aging. Micro needling is proven to reduce fi ne lines and wrinkles, stimulate collagen production, tighten the skin, reduce acne scarring, stretch marks and pigmentation, as well as aid in the effectiveness of topical vitamins and creams.Green Peel is clinically developed, used by estheticians and doctors all over the world. It simply smoothes away prematurely aged, damaged or impure skin; Slipping into perfect, pure, smooth and youthful skin - a dream that actually can come true naturally. The most unique aspect of Green Peel is not just it’s purely plant based formula, but rather the immediately visible result of the treatment.

We offer a wide range of spa services, makeup & skincare delivered with expert advice & techniques

HANSEN WHITEInga

April 19th, 1927 to September 15th, 2015

Inga passed away suddenly on Tuesday September 15th, 2015. Inga passed peacefully at Peace Arch Memorial Hospital, with her was long time friend Mai Siltberg and her daughter Tina at her side. Inga had 2 careers as owner of Scandia Restaurant and as a banker. Inga enjoyed travel visiting her birth country Denmark every year to spend time with her family. Inga was an energetic in-dividual who enjoyed travelling and her knitting for many people including newborns at the hospital. Inga is survived by her son Peter (Renate) Honolulu and grand son Mark (Tanya) Sayward. In lieu of fl owers donations to the Danish Lutheran Church.

FLUMERFELT, Doris Alda (nee Johnson)April 23rd, 1935 – October 4th, 2015

“On with the dance! Let joy be unconfined;”

Doris was born April 23rd, 1935 in Sackville, New Brunswick to Stephen and Doris Johnson (nee Way). She was the third of their four children. She is survived by her sister Ruth Ferguson and predeceased by her brothers Stephen and Gary. The family moved quite a bit during her formative years, providing the perfect preparation for Doris’ future married life.

In 1955, Doris married George Flumerfelt (predeceased 2009) and together they had four children: George (Trudy), Leslee Lingard (Bill), Ann Manshreck (John) and Laura Hudson (Bruce). George was a mining engineer which resulted in the family moving many times: Rouyn-Noranda, Esterhazy, Chibougamau, Loughrea (Ireland), Ratoath (Ireland), Campbell River and finally South Surrey. There were also many changes of houses within each town. Consequently, Doris became a model of efficiency. She made these moves seem effortless, despite having her young children underfoot. Wherever they lived, Doris would always dive in, fully embracing what each place had to offer. She had particularly fond memories of their time in Chibougamau raising her young family, and being honourary members of the Air Force Mess. Her time in Ireland afforded her the opportunity to experience a different culture while working on her golf game. She was Lady Captain at the Loughrea Golf Club and enjoyed the “great craic” of amateur theatrics and her hole-in-one at Royal Tara Golf Club. She also loved her retirement years in South Surrey, where she and George formed many friendships. These friendships helped sustain her during some difficult years when George was struggling with Alzheimers. She was always very appreciative of this support.

It is impossible to mention “Dodie” and not mention her style. She would always be appropriately and stylishly dressed regardless of budget. Whether her brooch was made of solid gold or was from Woolworths, she wore it with the same panache. She had that fashion flair that is innate, that “je ne sais quoi”.

She cherished her role as grandmother to Sarah, David, Katherine, Caroline, Siobhan and Emma. They have lost a great champion, whose love, affection and belief in them was immeasurable.

Even when ill, Doris would “get up, dress up and show up”. It did not occur to her to do otherwise. She has been taken from us far too soon. We all expected that Dodie would make her century, such was her drive, her strength, her indomitable spirit. However, it was not to be as pancreatic cancer intervened. This is why we ask that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.

A Celebration of Life will be held at Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre, 14831 – 28th Avenue, Surrey, BC V4P 1P3 on Monday October 12th at 1:30 p.m. Condolences may be offered at www.victoryfuneralcentre.ca

LEWISElizabeth (Betty) Stein

1922 - 2015

Having lived a blessed life, Betty passed away peacefully with joy, on September 30th, with family at the age of 92.Born of Scottish immigrants in Vancouver, BC, where she grew up, she met the love of her life, Joseph Lewis, who was blinded by an accident at age 18. Together they raised a family of four children, blessed with their love and courage.Survived now by her daughter Ruth (Bud), her sons, David, James (Jane), and Mark (Jill), her grandsons, Stephen, Andrew,

Michael (Oriana), Dale, and Jeffrey (Alison), her granddaughters, Joanne (Craig), Corinna, Sarah (Brian) and Nicole, also great granddaughters Lakiesha, Ashlee, and Alexandra, numerous nephews and nieces, sister Margaret Burns, sisters-in-law Dolly De Domenico and Nina Fletcher.She was a source of inspiration to all who knew her. And we thank you Mom, for the treasure chest of memories you have provided us; your spiritual life has been a testament to us all.The family wishes to thank the emergency ward nursing staff (especially Marie) at Peace Arch Hospital for their kindness and attention, and a special thanks to Dr. Niamh Darby. And thanks to all the friends of Betty and to the entire family for all the kindnesses expressed.We love you dearly Mom, and will keep you in our hearts forever. Now as a family we continue to pray:

“Father, bless us and keep us, and make your face to shine upon us and be gracious unto us. And lift up your countenance upon us

and give us peace. Even so, come Lord Jesus”.Private family ceremony only.

AUSTIN, Helene L. (Price)

April 7, 1942- October 5, 2015

It is with deep sorrow that the family announces the passing of Helene Austin after a brief battle with cancer. She passed away peacefully with her husband at her side. Helene was a loving & devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She was a loyal and caring sister and friend. Helene loved music, golf, playing cards & spending her time with friends family. Helene was an active volunteer with Les Papillon Hospital Auxiliary and spent her spare time playing piano at local senior’s centers in order to make their lives richer.

Helene was also actively involved with her Bible Study group from Cloverdale Baptist Church. She leaves behind the loves of her life: her husband, children and grandchildren, her siblings and her many friends.A Celebration of Life will take place at Cloverdale Baptist Church, 18685 64 Ave. Surrey BC at 2:00 PM.In lieu of fl owers please consider a donation to the Peace Arch Hospice Society.
