Coal decision delayed

Review bypasses medical officersJeff NagelBlack Press

Fraser Health’s chief medical health officer is cautioning Port Metro Vancouver not to plow ahead with a final decision on a new coal terminal in Surrey with-out first letting him review new research on the project’s potential impacts on human health.

Dr. Paul Van Buynder said he’s glad the port last week ordered proponent Fraser Surrey Docks to answer more questions about possible health impacts, but he is disappointed there will be no further formal comment allowed on the findings, which won’t be made public ahead of a decision or shared with the health authorities.

“I believe this work should be done in consultation with health experts and in a fashion transpar-ent to the concerned public,” Van Buynder said in an emailed state-ment. “It is important for the cred-ibility of any further review and the decision outcome that the process is not undertaken by the proponent in isolation of public health.”

Conservative MP Russ Hiebert (South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale) is keeping mum following his surprise announcement Thursday morning that he won’t be seeking re-election for a fifth term.

Hiebert spokeperson Peter Stock said the MP “will not be making further comment to any media” following the initial news release, although “he will be happy to comment on any other issues.”

“It has never been my ambition to be a career

politician,” the 45-year-old – first elected to the riding in 2004 – states in the release, offer-ing it as the primary reason for his decision.

“While I am proud of the difference I have been able to make in Ottawa, both as an MP and as part of the Conservative government, it will soon be time for my family and me to move on to new challenges,” he says.

Hiebert notes he intends to renew his licence to practise law, serve in some corpo-rate directorships and pursue “other oppor-tunities in the private sector.”

The next federal election is tentatively

scheduled for Oct. 19, 2015.As a representative of the Conservative

government in a riding traditionally consid-ered a right-wing stronghold, Hiebert has not had the smoothest ride over the past decade – even within his own ranks.

There have been rumblings for years among some longtime Conservatives within the community that support for Hiebert had been shaky ever since allegations he’d been “parachuted” into the riding as a candidate when he first ran for the seat.

An elderly woman is dead following an after-noon fire at a South Surrey apartment building last weekend.

Surrey deputy fire Chief Dan Barnscher said the victim was located in a ground-floor suite at 1860 Southmere Cres. just after 4:30 p.m. Saturday and rushed to hospital.

Emergency crews were alerted to the blaze

by a 911 call, and could see smoke and flames coming from the suite on arrival.

The critically injured victim – whose age and identity were not made public at Peace Arch News press time Monday afternoon – was located in the same room that investigators later determined the fire had started.

Transported to Royal Columbian Hospital

with burns and smoke inhalation injuries, she died later that evening.

Barnscher said cause of the fire was “smok-ing-related materials,” and damage was con-fined to the one room.

He noted the building did have functioning smoke alarms and heat detectors.

The port ordered the additional work Wednesday, after criticism of an environ-mental-impact assessment commissioned by Fraser Surrey Docks.

In December, Van Buynder and Vancouver Coastal Health chief med-ical health officer Dr. Patricia Daly declared the completed assessment inadequate, citing multiple problems.

Many civic politicians and resi-dents groups have been critical of the proposed terminal, which would increase the number of trains carry-ing coal through White Rock, South Surrey and Delta, though the project has been supported by some, includ-ing the Surrey Board of Trade.

The extra work is expected to focus on coal dust and train diesel emissions, but it’s unclear how long that will take or when a final deci-sion by the port authority is likely.

Port Metro Vancouver CEO Robin Silvester said he’s “very, very sur-prised” at Van Buynder’s comments.

“We’ve listened to all of the input he’s given us,” Silvester said. “We’ve considered it very carefully. And we’ll be answering all of his questions that are relevant to our scope.”

Many issues raised by the health officers are beyond the port’s jurisdiction, he added.

Asked how it can be appropriate not to refer significant new findings back to the health officers for review ahead of a deci-sion, Silvester said the port already has a very good understanding of their concerns.

“They’ve asked their questions. They’ve set out very clearly what their concerns are. And we’re now making sure those concerns are being answered,” he said.

Silvester said the port has hired consultants Golder Associates to advise on the comple-tion of the environmental assessment and analyze new findings.

The latest delay is the third time public

concern has prompted the port board to step back from an imminent decision on the pro-posed terminal, which would bring up to four million tonnes per year of U.S. thermal coal

to Surrey by train and ship it down the Fraser River by barge to Texada Island for transfer to larger ships.

When medical health officers first began to raise concerns with the coal terminal proposal in late 2012, the port declined to give them a formal role in the project assess-ment, instead promising to explore what process could involve health authorities to help guide assess-ments of future projects.

“What we want to do is set up the right sort of dialogue, separate from the project process, because those are broader questions, to have a conversation with the health offi-cers about how to best answer those questions,” Silvester said in June after Van Buynder and Daly reiter-ated concerns.

Van Buynder said nothing came of that offer other than one discussion

with a port-hired consultant months ago.“I never heard another thing about it,” Van

Buynder said Thursday. “We were hopeful when the consultant was put on that it meant the port recognized deficiencies in their processes. We’re concerned that we’ve heard nothing further since then.”

Silvester said the port has had frequent contact with the health officers – “again, I’m surprised by that.”

Black Press asked if the port’s approach to consultations for the coal terminal review has jeopardized the social licence it needs to succeed over the long term.

“If we look back at the process, there are things we would do differently if looking at it again,” Silvester said. “We probably could have started out involving more consultation at the early stages.”

Inaugural fundraiser heats up

Nearly 300 people came together for the Ignite a Dream fundraiser, to help make a difference in the lives of children in Surrey.

The inaugural event, held Satur-day at Semiahmoo Shopping Cen-tre, brought in more than $20,000 for the Surrey Fire Fighters’ Chari-table Society’s Ignite a Dream Educational Awards – “designed to help remove barriers and ignite the dreams of children in Surrey by pro-viding educational opportunities…”

Dozens of wine and beer exhibi-tors were set up alongside offerings from restaurants, allowing guests to sample from a number of menus.

“It was a lovely evening with great food and great wine,” Jeri Cox said.

Organizers are meeting later this week to discuss plans for next year.

Changes are in the wind for White Rock’s Johnston Road, with an aim to improve the safety of the uptown thoroughfare for pedes-trians and motorists alike.

Key steps named include the removal of a northbound, left-turn lane into Central Plaza – located just south of North Bluff Road and identified by ICBC as a hazard – and a shift south for a pedestrian crosswalk in that same area.

Improvements to sidewalks and the median between North Bluff Road and Thrift Ave-nue are also being suggested, confirmed Coun. Al Campbell, chair of the city’s new Johnston Road reconstruction and beautifi-cation task force. Those suggestions include construction of a continuous fence on the median between traffic lights and cross-walks, to curb jaywalking.

“It is extremely dangerous,” Campbell told Peace Arch News, of median turn lanes that

provide access to Central Plaza to traffic northbound on Johnston Road and west-bound on North Bluff Road.

“And (ICBC) really don’t like this cross-walk situation on Johnston Road. They’ve talked about that for years as just being an accident waiting to happen.

“You’ve got two driveways going in and people crossing at the exact same location, and it’s brutal.”

Council was to consider the task force’s

recommendations Monday evening, after PAN’s press deadline.

At least one Central Plaza merchant said she is not in favour of the northbound left-turn lane being removed. It will only hurt business, said Jessica Theriault, owner of The Gallery Art Supplies & Framing.

“This whole uptown area, so many of the businesses are moving out of the area as it is, and to limit the access to just the one corner here that’s in front of Save-On and in front of the TD Bank is ridiculous,” Theriault said Monday.

“They should be trying to encourage busi-ness, not limit access.”

Campbell does not expect the proposed changes to be an issue, but assured there would be “really good public consultation” before any work proceeds.

Overseeing public input and feedback into the reconstruction/beautification design is the newly formed task force’s mandate.

Greg St. Louis, the city’s director of engi-

neering and municipal operations, said removal of the left-turn lane is likely, “because it’s been identified by ICBC, as we know as well, as a safety concern.”

With it gone and the crosswalk moved, there would be opportunity to extend the left-turn lane at the intersection, he said, noting changes would also reduce “hazard-ous” southbound backups and congestion in the intersection.

St. Louis said Johnston Road improve-ments are on the city’s to-do list for this year.

Regarding sidewalks, Campbell said engi-neers have designs well underway. The exist-ing walkways are “totally heaved” by tree roots, he said.

The end result should complement the finished-concrete look already in place by the Miramar Village and Saltaire develop-ments, he said.

“Those have to be part of the big package,” he said. “Whatever we have there, we need to blend it.”

Life has been a “living hell” for a woman since last September, when someone threw acid at her face for no apparent reason.

On Sept. 13, 2013, at about 10:30 a.m., Tammy Sinclair was out back of her ATV shop in the 13400-block of 71A Avenue when a man in plaid shorts walked up to her, carrying a jar of liquid.

The two talked about ATVs for a bit, and then the man checked to see if anyone was looking and threw what turned out to be muriatic acid on her.

Sinclair lost partial eyesight, and her neck and shoulder were burned by the acid.

“We were just talking about ATVs, just

like a normal customer does,” Sinclair said at a news conference Friday, where RCMP released security surveillance of the attack, as well as still photographs of people to whom they’d like to speak.

Sinclair’s husband, Gordon, said the family’s life has been a “living hell” since the attack.

“My wife dodged a bullet, just by turning away just as he was throw-ing it at her,” he said, adding the workdays at the shop have changed since then.

“Every customer that comes into the shop, we have our suspicions.”

Police believe it was a targeted attack.

The assailant was last seen leaving on foot. He is described as a Caucasian male, in his 20s or 30s, approximately 5’6” to 5’10”,

with very short hair (blond or light brown), no facial hair, wearing a black ball cap, dark hoodie, plaid shorts, white running shoes, and carrying a glass-type mug with clear

liquid in it.Video surveillance stills show a suspect

with two male associates, as well as a vehicle.“This attack had devastating consequences

for the victim, considering the weapon used,” said Cpl. Bert Paquet of the Surrey RCMP.

“Over the past five months, we have been working diligently on this case and are now hoping that the public will be able to assist us in apprehending the individual responsible.”

Since releasing the images Friday, police say they have been inundated with calls, including at least a dozen “solid tips.”

Although the Conservative Electoral District Association proclaimed strong support for Hiebert in 2011, some former senior members indicated they were unhappy with the MP’s alleged unwillingness to admit error or listen to advice, his reli-ance on “spin” and on commu-nications with constituents that some said resembled an ongoing election campaign. The refusal of the party’s national office to entertain a nomination process in which Hiebert could be chal-lenged by other candidates was also a concern expressed locally.

He weathered a storm of criti-cism over personal spending, after his 2008-’09 expenses claim – $637,093 – was the highest for a B.C. MP and the second-high-est for an MP in Canada. At the time, he explained the total was due mostly to the costs of flying himself and family members to Ottawa and back while Parlia-ment was in session.

More recently, Hiebert has come under fire for his private member’s bill, C-377, which calls for extensive disclosure of labour-organization finances. Labour leaders and other oppo-nents termed the bill “unconsti-tutional” and characterized it as an attempt at union-busting by the Conservatives.

That bill, still under consider-ation in the Senate, came close to being “gutted” (to use Hiebert’s own term) by Senate opponents last year, until Prime Minister Stephen Harper prorogued Par-liament, effectively turning the clock back on the bill and nullifying the Senate’s attempts to amend it.

Thursday’s announce-ment has already led to speculation that the redrawing of electoral boundaries for the next federal election – includ-ing the creation of a new Cloverdale-Langley rid-ing – has literally and figuratively changed the political landscape, with the possibility that some of the five candidates cur-rently seeking the Con-

servative nomination there may be encouraged to run in the new South Surrey-White Rock riding.

Hiebert’s news release states he has been happy to serve in gov-ernment for eight of the past 10 years, “delivering on promises we made to cut taxes for families and businesses, and to reform our criminal justice and immi-gration systems.”

Hiebert says he is grateful for the “strong leadership” of Harper, “especially as he has led Can-ada out of the global economic downturn.”

Among his accomplishments in office, Hiebert cites delivery of major federal infrastructure funding, including $38 million for the twinning of Highway 15, an $18-million expansion of High-way 10, $53 million for overpasses along the Roberts Bank rail line and $54 million for expanded border-crossing facilities. Other funding includes construction of a seniors’ centre and upgrades to several community centres, parks, museums and libraries.

His parliamentary posts have

included terms on House of Com-mons committees such as finance, international trade, defence, natu-ral resources, ethics and interna-tional human rights, and terms as parliamentary secretary to the Minister of National Defence and the Minister of Intergovernmen-tal Affairs and Western Economic Diversification.

Hiebert also founded and co-chaired the all-party Border Caucus to improve movement of people and goods between Canada and the U.S. and served seven elected terms as the Cana-dian chair of the 53-nation Com-monwealth Parliamentary Asso-ciation, as well as two three-year terms as a director of its interna-tional executive committee.

Former Conservative electroral district association (EDA) presi-dent Erv Dusik told PAN Monday that Hiebert has “done a great job” for the constituency, citing the MP’s private member’s bill and securing federal funding for highways projects as two of the highlights of his terms in office.

“Some people criticized him because he could be very demanding of people, particu-larly within the EDA,” Dusik said. “He has been active in so many areas, and serving on so many committees, he has had limited time to waste. He’s a straight-shooter, politically – he wanted to get things done and he wanted to get them done in a hurry. With some people you need to use a little softer approach, I suppose.

“He’s done a great job overall and I wish him well – and a lot of people feel the same.”

It was a year ago that Shawn Wilson, head of the Surrey Board of Education, stood in an empty field in Cloverdale, hopeful that a new, much-needed high school would soon take shape there.

The provincial government – three months away from an elec-tion – had announced it was com-mitting $10.5 million to help pay for a new, 1,200-student second-ary school in the Clayton area.

Today, the land remains empty.“We’re hugely frustrated as a

board,” said trustee Terry Allen, noting the need for more school space in fast-growing neighbour-hoods is already critical, with thousands of students attending classes in 285 portables.

Allen said the province needs to fulfill its promises – and fast.

“They’re already committed, big time. And still, we haven’t seen one penny,” he said

In a precedent-setting move in January 2012, the district put up $5 million of its own money – with the hope government would repay it – to hire archi-tects and get a jump-start on planning new schools.

The idea was that when provincial funding was approved, construction could begin immediately.

Plans are tentatively ready, but the district can’t move without provincial funding, Allen said.

“It’s driving us crazy,” he said. “You know and I know that government doesn’t have a whole pile of money, but there are certain things that the government is respon-sible to provide.”

There’s been no word on repayment of the $5 mil-lion, which was used for not only a new Clayton high school, but another in Grandview and expan-sions at two elementaries.

South Surrey’s Grand-view-area high school is

needed to alleviate overcrowd-ing at Earl Marriott and Lord Tweedsmuir secondaries.

Allen believes partnering with the city or health region to make better use of the space in Grand-view is a great opportunity.

The City of Surrey expressed interest last spring in creating a so-called Campus of Learning-Active Living and Sport Excellence, with a recreation and aquatic centre next to the planned high school.

“We’ve got to have a school, there’s no question about that, so

why can’t they come up with the funding for us to start the pro-cess?” asked Allen. “If it did have a clinic attached, or community centre, how much better is that for the public than having a school that’s only open for 12 hours a day? It’s all taxpayers’ money, no matter which way you look at it.”

Even if construction began today, it would take a minimum of two years to build. Meetings are planned with the Minister of Education and Surrey MLAs to highlight the district’s concerns.

Surrey RCMP’s release last week of a security video showing an acid attack on a woman in Newton is disturbing on a number of levels.

First and foremost is the horrific nature of the attack itself, in which a man threw acid at Tammy Sinclair’s face after engaging her in casual conversation behind her ATV store.

Sinclair’s neck and shoulder were burned by what is believed to have been muriatic acid, and she lost some of her eyesight.

To watch the casual nature of the encounter – so mundane at the start – and then see the sudden viciousness is chilling indeed.

One can feel nothing but sympathy for the victim of this appalling crime.

But what is also disturbing is the more than five-month lag in releasing the security footage.

It seems the video has jogged the memory of more than one person, and police have received a spate of tips since the clip was made public Friday. One wonders how many other tips would have been forthcoming if it had been released sooner.

In a time of heightened awareness of crimes against women in Surrey – the apparently random beating death of Newton hockey mom Julie Paskall still in the forefront of people’s minds – would it not have been in the public interest to highlight this attack with greater urgency, before others could potentially be at risk?

Perhaps officers were respecting a desire for privacy on the part of the victim. Perhaps they were following the time-honoured protocol of holding back information that only they and the perpetrator could know. Perhaps, too, police had every expectation that other leads would produce a suspect, but the release of the video suggests earlier lines of inquiry weren’t working.

It’s likely true that the public, including the media, have an imperfect understanding of police methodology. But it seems – as in the recent incident in White Rock in which an RCMP emergency-response team descended on a quiet neighbourhood in search of a suspect, only to brush off questions with a ‘nothing-to-see-here’ approach – that police have an imperfect understanding of the public’s need, and right, to know, for their own peace of mind.

More than a rubbernecking nuisance, an observant public ought to be considered a resource for our forces, particularly in an age of cellphone cameras and the potential for lightning-quick exchange of information online.

The latest call for information on a five-month-old crime seems a further acknowledgement that police could be more in step with the public they serve.

Better informed, better protected

A little-noticed protest tent sprouted up on the rain-soaked B.C. legislature grounds earlier this

month.Green Party MLA Andrew

Weaver spoke, asking whether B.C. residents would tolerate trophy hunting of killer whales. That would be a federal matter, but the point is vividly made about the onset of B.C.’s traditional spring grizzly bear hunt.

It’s bigger this year, with Kootenay and Chilcotin wildlife-management regions reopened after closures were enacted to preserve grizzly populations. In all, more than 1,000 grizzly bears are up for grabs. As with limited-entry hunts for deer and other animals, only about a third of those hunts are successful in an average year.

The rally was sponsored by the Coastal First Nations Great Bear Initiative, the partnership with U.S.-directed environment groups Sierra Club, Greenpeace and ForestEthics that has become so influential in B.C. affairs. It produced a survey showing that 88 per cent of B.C. residents oppose trophy hunting, and its California experts calculate a 10-fold increase in value when bear hunting gives way to bear watching.

The Raincoast Conservation Society has bought up half a dozen guiding territories on the remote B.C. coast. Combined with government restrictions, more than half

the coast is now off limits to bear hunting. Naturally, activists want the whole province shut down.

Wildlife management is the responsibility of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson. He’s heard plenty from all sides and he maintains that bear watching and bear hunting will continue to coexist in B.C.

Thomson has just introduced legislation to permit hunting-guide territories to be operated by corporations as well as individuals. This is a long-sought

change, allowing First Nations companies and others access to bank loans to expand the industry.

Non-resident hunters are required to hire a licensed guide-outfitter. Resident hunters pay $32 for a one-year hunting licence and $80 for a grizzly bear tag. Non-Canadians pay $180 for the licence and $1,030 for a chance at a grizzly.

Hunting in general is making a comeback in B.C. Ministry data show hunting licenses had declined to 85,633 in 2006, but recovered to reach 97,828 by 2013.

Thomson credits the work of the B.C.

Wildlife Federation, which runs hunter training courses. Another program, Becoming an Outdoor Woman, has helped revive hunting and camping as a family activity, he said.

Growing up hunting in northeastern B.C., I was taught not to shoot anything I’m not prepared to eat. I also remember the struggles to protect caribou and other endangered prey species that at one time had B.C. biologists resorting to shooting wolves from helicopters.

The reopening of grizzly bear territories is marketed to urban residents as a horrible crime against nature. In fact, it’s a sign of increasing population.

Problems in B.C. wildlife these days include the fragile mountain caribou herds of the Kootenays, which have been subject to intensive management including relocation of animals.

The ministry has also begun a five-year study of declining moose populations across a vast area of the Interior subject to salvage logging in the wake of the pine beetle epidemic.

Vancouver media recently highlighted a grizzly hunt by NHL journeyman Clayton Stoner. Typically, U.S. enviros promoted the deceased bear by name, “Cheeky,” and photos showed its carcass stripped to the skeleton by scavengers after Stoner left with the hide, paws and head.

They don’t mention that the same fate awaits animals that die of starvation or other natural causes, which increase when animals overpopulate. As with many B.C. issues, there’s a cartoon version sold to impressionable city dwellers, and then there’s the truth.

Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Added costs of abandonmentEditor:

Vacant homes have been a concern in Vancouver west side for number of years, and the wave arrived at my neighbourhood here two years ago.

The situation is getting worse. I live in Chantrell area, where

many multi-million acreage properties are located. More and more baby boomers chose to downsize, and they sold their homes to wealthy foreign investors, mostly from Asia with hot cash.

Since many of these properties – valued at $2-7 million – are for investment purpose only, irresponsible buyers often leave the houses alone without regular landscape maintenance.

The result of this can bring negative impact to the community.

Garbage and yard waste brings bad feelings to those who walk by every day, especially the next-door neighbours. The entire standard of the neighbourhood is being dragged down to the worse point ever.

Since the standard of the community declines, it’s hard to say it won’t affect property values.

There are potential security problems; chances for break-ins rise and add risk to surrounding neighbours. Who knows what’s happening in the backyards?

There is also a challenge on social fairness: empty houses are treated as merchandises on shelves, a tool to boost personal properties. Those who really want to live and work in South Surrey have less selection while buying a “real home.”

I don’t know what the solution for this is – how to make these wealthy buyers develop a sense of being a responsible “homeowner,” not an “investor,” and how to fit in the Canadian’s social values.

Restrictions and regulations from the government might be able to help. The City of Surrey does accept complaints regarding overgrown property landscape, but I believe it has to reach the extreme level.

I hope this topic is able to be brought to people’s attention.Jenny Lo, Surrey

Caring forour veteransEditor: Re: Conflict over Veterans Affairs, Feb. 13 letters.

No need for veterans to worry about being neglected by the recent closures of under-used offices, our MP, Russ Hiebert (South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale), carefully explained in the letter to Peace Arch News.

As for letter-writer John Fortin, who complained about the poor service he received from the Department of Veterans Affairs, his facts are perplexing.

My husband is a recipient of DVA services due to a hearing loss that was directly caused from his air force service. He had to substantiate this

claim and his health records in the armed forces proved this to be true.

Veterans Affairs has a process that must be followed before a former serviceman is eligible for DVA funds. The process is well supervised so no one can take advantage.

My husband is very pleased with the care he has received, and so are many other veterans.

As for Prime Minister Stephen Harper, I am glad he shows that our country will stand up for Israel.

On Remembrance Day, we think about the tragic loss of so many people and how six million Jewish people were barbarically exterminated.

It is said “never again,” and we mean it. Leone Wright, Surrey

An open letter to MP Russ Hiebert.Your letter to the editor states that

“since taking office in 2006 we have increased funding for veterans by over $4 billion.”

Could you please supply a detailed breakdown year by year of the amount? Figures rounded up or down to the nearest $100,000 will suffice. I am sure Peace Arch News will gladly publish them.Wolfgang Schmitz, White Rock

Impatiencea dangerEditor:

Last week, at about 11 a.m. Monday, I was crossing the intersection at 148 Street and 16 Avenue in South Surrey/White Rock.

The light was showing the white “walk” signal, and I was halfway across when I was suddenly faced with a vehicle in my face ready to run me over. I shouted and raised my arms high, and the woman thankfully stopped.

I was in awe when the driver scoffed at me, as to say “get out of my way old man.”

Lady, stop and take a deep breath and slow down. You just about killed someone’s father/husband/brother. This is so common these days. People are stressed to the max, uptight and don’t give a damn for the next person.

It’s so bad driving a vehicle as well. Everyone’s in a hurry. Half of the vehicles have no rear lights. Pickup-truck drivers want control on the roads, and force smaller cars to escape the rudeness.

For what? You will have plenty of time to slow down in a cold jail cell awaiting a sentence for manslaughter.Thomas Mac Kay, White Rock

One to blame for tragedyEditor: Re: Victim’s sister doesn’t blame officer, Feb. 13.

My heart bleeds for Lynné McCutcheon and her family, as well as for the victim, Marilyn Laursen.

Let’s put the blame fair and square where it lies – on driver Kyle Danyliuk. Danyliuk should have stopped when told to by Const. David Bickle, but he did not.

I most passionately disagree with the people that are using the officer as a scapegoat in this stupidly politically correct society that we have developed for ourselves.

I take my hat off to McCutcheon for her sanity and logic in this case. After all, who was driving the car that killed Laursen? Definitely not Const. Bickle.Ivan Scott, Surrey

Editor:Care for the hungry and homeless of the Peninsula

drew an unusual number of clergy together, on the occasion of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity in late January. The Christmas memories of “no room at the inn” for the baby Jesus inspired clergy to eat together and to hear of the issues and services for those in poverty, on our affluent Peninsula.

Churches may not agree on biblical interpretation, gender equality or religious language, but they can come together at their best on compassion for the poor!

The lunch event was organized by the “Peninsula Homeless to Housing” (PH2H) task force, made up of individuals, service groups and churches whose mission is “to assist people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness on the South Surrey White Rock Peninsula to live in safe and appropriate housing.”

Information was shared about the Cold Weather

Shelter, the low-cost community meals, the Sources Food Bank, the homeless outreach workers, and other practical resources for churches who are caring for people in poverty.

There was a brief presentation on how churches and other non-profit organizations can leverage their land for low-income or subsidized housing. Opportunities for involvement and deepened service were highlighted, including last Saturday’s “Coldest Night” walk.

Many of the clergy and their representatives were surprised by the statistics of poverty on the Peninsula and were impressed with what was already happening. They agreed that more individual and congregational efforts could and should be made to make a difference.

After all, people are cold and hungry out there, as one person said, and they are our neighbours!Rev. Joan McMurtry, First United ChurchPastor Mike Schroeder, Life Church White Rock

Tracy HolmesStaff Reporter

City of White Rock officials are crossing their fingers the recent arrest of two individuals will curb a rash of damage to parking meters around Peace Arch Hospital.

Dan Bottrill, the city’s chief administrative officer, said 45 of the meters have been damaged since Jan. 5, in about 10 separate incidents.

“It’s been a bit of an ongoing problem,” he told Peace Arch News.

“It looks like they’re trying to get into the coin box.”

Bottrill said police advised the city that suspects were arrested earlier this month after machines were seen being vandalized.

He confirmed the targeted machines were among about 90 that posed a challenge in 2012 because they didn’t accept new-issue loonies and toonies. The city spent about $14,000 fixing the problem.

Bottrill said he didn’t have a figure on the cost of addressing the recent damage, but said it was far greater than any amount the culprits responsible for it gained in stealing the coins. The machines are emptied daily, he said.

“In many cases, there was no money in those meters.”

Bottrill described the damage to city property, and resulting cost of repairs, as “distressing,” but said it was comforting to learn the spree may finally be curbed.

“We’re hopeful it won’t continue,” he said. “The fact that there was an arrest is really good.”

White Rock RCMP Const. Shaileshni Molison confirmed the arrests – including of a woman “of no fixed address” – were made.

Late Thursday, she announced that charges of mischief under $5,000 and theft under $5,000 have been laid against a South Surrey man in connection with a Feb. 2 meter-damage incident.

William Furugori is due to appear in Surrey Provincial Court on March 5.

Businesses and community officials gathered in Ocean Park Friday to discuss crime prevention and crime-reduction strategies in South Surrey.

Surrey RCMP Chief Supt. Bill Fordy, Staff Sgt. Dan Gibbons and Coun. Barinder Rasode were on hand to answer questions from the audience at the Surrey Board of Trade’s Crime Breakfast.

Topics included the state of mental health care in Surrey, the desire to create a community court and a regional police force.

When asked about flaws with in the health-care system that forced those who are mentally ill back on the streets, Rasode agreed that there was work that needed to be done.

“I think mental illness is the number-one issue for our community. Absolutely. Full stop,” she said, noting she hoped a representative from

Fraser Health would attend future meetings to hear the concerns.

Rasode noted the city is advocating for a community court, similar to Red Hook Community Justice Center in New York.

“That’s not just a model that relies on the judiciary,” she said. “When a person comes in front of a judge, an

assessment is done on why they committed the crime they committed. So if it is an addiction or mental-health issue, they are immediately mandated to programming that they actually get in the same building.

“I think ultimately that should be our goal.”

Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg was one of the

two dozen or so attendees of the breakfast meeting. During the question period he asked Fordy for his opinion on regional policing.

Fordy noted that increased collaboration between police following the murder investigation of Port Coquitlam murderer Robert ‘Willie’ Pickton has led to vast improvements.

“The advances that have been made by law enforcement and our sharing of information, the standardization of investigation techniques, has been remarkable,” he said.

Other topics included the effectiveness of Bar Watch, with Fordy noting that the RCMP is still working to gain authority to remove suspicious people from all establishments – not just suspected gang members – rather than put employees in a dangerous position.

“The last thing we would want to do is put someone at risk,” he said.

perspectives…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Sarah MassahStaff Reporter

The thrill of flying is a feeling that Kirsten Brazier has each time she takes the controls and takes off.

Even after 23 years, the celebrated pilot says there is nothing boring about handling an aircraft.

Now, she hopes to share that experience with hundreds of women and girls March 8-9 in honour of Women of Aviation Worldwide Week: The Sky’s No Limit – Girls Fly Too!

So far, dozens have signed up to take to the skies over Langley Regional Airport in a helicopter or airplane,

including a number from White Rock and Surrey, one of the many places in the Lower Mainland that Brazier, 43, has called home.

“I had my first flight about 23 years ago and I remember it well because I get the same feeling every time I go flying. Also I had the first flight moment in a float plane and a ski plane and in a helicopter – it’s all a discovery,” she said Tuesday.

“This event is so unique in that we take people from the

hardware store, the grocery store… impoverished people and every walk of life that you could imagine, so when they get into the aircraft and the aircraft goes off, they’re mesmerized.”

The free event is the third that Brazier has organized, with the other two held in Yellowknife, where she worked and lived before moving to Langley this year.

The aim of the event is to expose women to an industry they may otherwise feel excluded from.

Brazier noted that women make up less than six per cent of commercial

pilots, with even fewer women working as aircraft-maintenance engineers.

“It’s not like anyone has been telling girls they can’t be pilots or mechanics, but the reason we do this event is because, over time, if you repeatedly see a guy doing a job like flying an aircraft, grading the runway or fixing an aircraft, then you have a visual impression in your mind which is almost that you can’t do that job without saying it. So you can’t picture in your head, well hey, that could be me,” she said.

“So, over time, the perception is that the trade is for guys.”

While the free flights are for women and girls only, Brazier noted it’s important that the family as a whole attend to provide support for the first-time fliers.

She added there will be a number of interactive educational activities, as well as a flight-line static display

of civilian and non-civilian aircrafts, that will be open to the whole family. Flight crews will be on hand both days to answer questions and speak on their experiences.

“We try to have a balance of men and women in aviation,” she said.

The Langley event will be the biggest Brazier has organized and she hopes that people from all over the Lower Mainland sign up and attend.

“When I was in Yellowknife and we took off with our first load of 20 girls and came back, it was amazing. The girls got out of the aircraft and they were beaming and it just affected the whole crowd,” she said.

“And people like me, we beam every time we get airborne.”

Gone are the days when reaching retirement age meant that you’d be forced to live a life of staying home, doing crossword puzzles and watching boring daytime television.

As today’s mature adults are discovering, life in your 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond has the potential to be more exciting than ever.

Known as the ‘Zoomer’ generation – Boomers who show no sign of slowing down – today’s seniors are embracing everything that life has to offer.

Whether opting for early retirement so they can fulfill their dreams of travelling the world, or holding out on calling it quits in the workforce, so they can make the most of their healthy and vital years, seniors around the Semiahmoo Peninsula and beyond are certainly painting a whole new picture of the demographic. Many seniors are even opting to launch entirely new careers well into their 50s and 60s, leaving behind their previous jobs to fulfill their dreams of becoming entrepreneurs.

To celebrate this exciting generation, Peace Arch News is thrilled to introduce a new monthly feature – This Is The Life!

Each issue, we’ll explore some different topics of interest for the 50-plus generation – fitness trends and opportunities, relationships and dating, money matters, health considerations, beauty trends, entertainment and more

In the coming months we’ll shine a spotlight on some local ‘Zoomers’ who are making an impact throughout the community, through volunteer efforts, remarkable athletic accomplishments, contributions to the arts community and much more.

We’ll also provide information on community groups, activities, programs and clubs around the Semiahmoo Peninsula that offer exciting ways for seniors to get out, get active and get involved.

Check back each month to find out how seniors in this community are getting the most out of their golden years, after all – This is the Life!

Hope for Knee Pain: Cold Laser TherapyCold Laser Therapy (often also called Low Intensity Laser Therapy or Low Level Laser Therapy) is an innovative treatment for a variety of acute and chronic – often painful – conditions.

Laser light transfers energy to interior cells• Stimulates natural healing• Restores normal cellular structure and function• Prevents future injury

What you will experience:• Pain goes away• Reduced infl ammation/swelling• Restored mobility

Why Cold Laser?• Healing, not just masking of pain• Safe, drug free & no side eff ects• Avoid or delay the need for surgery• Accelerate and strengthen the body’s natural healing mechanisms

The Concept Behind Cold Laser TherapyThe healing power of lightThe concept of Cold Laser Therapy is actually quite simple. As humans, light plays a very important role in our existence. Similar to how plant cells require light for photosynthesis, our cells need light to power many of the normal processes that keep us healthy and happy. As long as we are exposed to enough regular sunlight, our skin absorbs the light we need and our cells can use it for many of their normal functions. If our cells are working normally, then our bodies are able to withstand diff erent stresses from day to day activities and heal various ailments.Light therapy is not a new concept. It has been and continues to be used by doctors to treat a wide variety of conditions. For exam-ple, light has shown to be eff ective for treating many skin conditions including psoriasis and acne, depression and even tuberculosis before there were medications. Most people who suff er from arthritis can attest to the fact that their pain usually reduces or even completely subsides during the summer months or on a vacation to a sunny destination.Vitamin D, critical for keeping our bones healthy and strong, is created in our bod-ies by a process that requires sunlight. In places where there isn’t much sunlight available year round, people are usually encouraged to take vitamin D supple-ments during the darker months to help support their bones and prevent against bone-softening conditions such as rickets (in children) or osteoporosis.When we experience pain or infl ammation from a problem or injury in an area of our body, the normal cellular processes slow down and our body has trouble heal-ing as a result. Blood fl ow to these areas also gets interrupted, which restricts the ability of important nutrients to be delivered to the cells that need to heal.The scienceScientifi c research conducted over the last few decades has shown that human cells heal better and faster when the right wavelengths of light energy get delivered to them.Cold Laser Therapy is a breakthrough solution for musculoskeletal pain because it shines a concentrated amount of only helpful wavelengths of light vital for healing (which are in the red and infrared parts of the spectrum) directly on targeted areas. This allows our bones, ligaments, and tissues deep inside our bodies to be exposed to the healthy light that otherwise cannot reach these areas. By delivering just the helpful parts of the light spectrum, the overall laser light power can be kept at very low and therefore very safe levels, which will not burn or otherwise harm the skin or any other tissues.

How Does Cold Laser Therapy Work?Cold Laser Therapy delivers light based energy to cells, helping to accel-erate the body’s natural healing process at the cellular level. It targets injured cells, resulting in elimination and prevention of pain, reduction of infl ammation and swelling, and improved range of motion. Laser therapy does not just mask the pain, it actively stimulates healing to resolve mus-culoskeletal conditions for the long term.The Biofl ex Cold Laser Therapy system is a three step process, each using a diff erent wavelength of light which has been found to optimally stimu-late your body’s cells. The fi rst step uses a red light pad at 660 nm, which gets absorbed by the cells of the skin and underlying superfi cial layers of muscle. The second step uses an infrared light pad at 830 nm, reaching deeper into the muscle layers, as well as the tendons and ligaments. The third step includes an infrared laser wand at 840 nm that is placed specifi cally on the aff ected areas by a trained laser therapist. This light is very concentrated and targets the deepest aff ected structures, stimulating healing inside aff ected joints and even bone.

Mrs. M. tries Cold Laser Therapy for her Knee PainMrs. M. suff ered from ever more debilitating levels of pain in both of her knees for a long time, caused by the increasingly common condition of osteoarthritis. She was having great diffi culty walking for longer periods of time or going up and down stairs. Sleeping through the night had become a problem, because the pain would wake her. Even simple movements like getting up after having been seated for a while (watching television or having dinner) had become extremely painful. It came to be normal for her to rely on painkillers to help her function on a day to day basis.

Over the years, she had undertaken numerous therapies and treatments to stem the tide of ever increasing pain without much success. Even full knee replacement surgery on her left knee only helped to a degree, leaving her with discomfort in the replaced knee even well after the expected post surgical healing time.

When Mrs. M. fi rst visited us at Solaj Wellness Centre, she enquired about Cold Laser Therapy and was wondering if the treatments might help in reducing the pain in her right knee, and maybe even prevent the need for knee replacement surgery in the future. After fi nding out some more details about Cold Laser Therapy, she decided that it was well worth her time and money to give this treatment a try. In her thinking, the upside of avoiding much more invasive and therefore risky surgery was signifi cant and as she had found out on her other knee, replacement surgery wasn’t a guaranteed full success either.

After the fi rst four treatment sessions, Mrs. M. was experiencing signifi cantly less discomfort in her knee and she could fi nally sleep throughout the night without being woken up by pain. And after just two weeks of treatment sessions, she stopped taking pain medication altogether. Having had to take painkillers on a daily basis for years and putting up with their unpleasant side eff ects, being able to discontinue her daily painkiller regimen was another true milestone moment for her.

As she continued her treatments, Mrs. M.’s knee continued to show meaningful improvement. Now she was able to take longer walks with her husband along the beach. And she even started to ride the recumbent bike to help regain the strength in her knee. After 15 treatments over an 8 week period, Mrs. M. was able to stop her treatments. She had virtually no knee pain, had continued to stay off pain medication and was able to become more active than she had been in years.

When Mrs. M. came back to Solaj two months after her last treatment for a check-up and “refresher” treatment (commonly suggested for those with signifi cant arthritis), she continued to have no pain in her knee and she has been able to keep up with her new, increased level of physical activity.

A little while later, we received this email from Mrs. M:A little while later, we received this email from Mrs. M:

“I had become very despondent after a number of years with extremely painful

arthritic knees. One arthroscopic procedure and one complete knee replacement

later I continued to deal with one extremely painful arthritic knee that did not

require replacing and remained dependent on prescription pain medication in

order to function on a very basic level.

Then I read an article in our local paper submitted by the Solaj Wellness Centre

about Cold Laser Therapy. The main point I took from the article was that it would

relieve pain and alleviate the need for pain medication. I was willing to try anything

that might achieve that goal.

I met with Dr. Melanie Rapoport of the Solaj Wellness Centre for a consultation.

After our discussion there was no question I was going to give the laser therapy

a try and Dr. Mel began my treatment immediately. After only two weeks of

treatment I could function without any pain medication although there was still

some discomfort in the knee. I continued my course of treatment as prescribed by

Dr. Mel and at eight weeks was completely pain free and able to function normally

and am no longer dependent on medication in order to function.

I would recommend anyone that is suff ering with pain to defi nitely utilize Cold

Laser Therapy. It certainly worked for me.”

Where there is a will, there is a way – a legal will provides for peace of mind and saves

moneyAccording to a B.C.-wide poll

conducted in 2010 by Mustel Group for The Society of Notaries Public of B.C., only 51 per cent of all adults in this province have a current and legal will.

A properly drafted will creates certainty of your intentions for the distribution of assets and the guardianship of minor children. It designates the person responsible for carrying out your wishes (executor).

“Without a will there is a risk of having grieving family members turn into quarrelling ones – something that can be easily avoided by having a properly drafted will in place”, says Nik Eskin, a Notary Public and a partner at Morgan Crossing Notaries in South Surrey.

Having an Enduring Power of Attorney is equally important. An ordinary power of attorney gives another person the authority to act on your behalf in financial matters.

If you were to have an accident or an illness leading to loss of your mental capacity, your attorney’s authority under an ordinary power of attorney would be automatically terminated.

“By contrast, if you have an Enduring Power of Attorney, your attorney retains the authority, even if you lose your mental capacity,” said Jacek Januszewski, Nik’s partner at Morgan Crossing Notaries.

Representation Agreement is a legal document appointing someone you trust to act on your behalf in making health or personal care decisions if you become unable of making those decisions or cannot communicate your wishes.

Representation Agreement Act came into force in 2011.

The Agreement finally replaces the Living Will which was never a legislated document in this province.

A Representation Agreement ensures that your important wishes and decisions are adhered to in case of a medical emergency.

According to Eskin, “a will, an Enduring Power of Attorney and a Representation Agreement are integral parts of prudent and responsible personal planning. It is important for every adult British Columbian to have all

three documents in place.” B.C. Notaries Public are trained to

continue this tradition of professionalism and trust in helping the public in preparing these important documents.

Ask the Residents…

Advice from people who live in the Royale Peninsula Retirement Residence

Dear Residents: When you live in a retirement residence, can you come and go as you please? Are there visiting hours for guests?– Wondering in White Rock

Dear Wondering in White Rock: As to your fi rst question: Yes, you are free to come and go as you choose: retirement residences provide you with a key to the main entrance so that you can enter at any time, day or night. As to your second question: Just like in a house or apartment, it is you who decides when and for how long your guests are welcome in your home – there are no restrictions on hours, just an expectation that guests

are respectful of other residents. Retirement residences typically have a sign-in/out book at the front for both guests and residents for a census in case of emergency. Of course, we can only speak from our personal experiences from touring and living in retirement residences: you should ask the residence in question as to their specifi c census and guest policies to ensure that it will suit your lifestyle or address any concerns you may have. We recommend that you ask the marketing director about a vacation stay in a guest suite so you can try it out and see if the residence is a good “fi t” for you. – the Residents

Tavia Waiz leads way with two gold at BC Winter Games

Medals come on ice, in poolNick GreenizanSports Reporter

Prior to the BC Winter Games, diving coach Grant Brehaut said one of his divers, South Surrey’s Tavia Waiz, was

a good bet for a gold medal – maybe even two.

Turns out, Brehaut’s prediction was spot on.Waiz’s medals were far from the only ones

nabbed by Fraser Valley athletes over the four-day event, which began last Thursday. Overall, the Valley team topped the medal table with 103 total medals.

The total gave Zone 3 a comfortable lead over runner-up Vancouver-Squamish, which won 77 total medals, including 32 gold.

Waiz, who dove for Zone 3 (Fraser Valley) at the Mission-hosted Games, cruised to a pair of gold medals in the girls ‘B’ division, first winning the one-metre competition Friday afternoon at Langley’s Walnut Grove Community Centre, followed by a second gold, this time on the three-metre board, Saturday.

Friday, Waiz finished the final round of dives with a total score of 285.30, beating silver medalist Kaelyn Burgess of Zone 5 (Vancouver-Squamish) and Lilly Yi (Vancouver-Squamish), who placed third.

In her six final-round dives, Waiz consistently earned the highest marks of the nine-diver field, and capped it with a reverse one-and-a-half, which she said was probably her toughest dive of the day.

“I actually think I did better on that one in the prelims earlier,” she said after receiving her gold medal. “But it’s one I’ve been doing for awhile. I’m comfortable with it... you start backwards, but it doesn’t scare me anymore.”

On Saturday, Waiz completed the sweep, scoring a final-round 282.65, which was more than 40 points better than second-

place diver Coral Strugnell of Victoria. For Waiz, the medals will be added to an

ever-growing collection – at the 2012 BC Summer Games, she also struck gold.

“She did great,” said Brehaut, a BC Games alum who was coaching and judging at this year’s event.

Waiz’s teammate – both on the Fraser Valley squad and at the club level with the White Rock Divers – Marjan Aktary added a pair of fourth-place finishes at the Games. Competing in the girls ‘C’ division, the young diver was just off the podium in both the one- and three-metre events.

Her top-five finish was made even more impressive considering she was diving hurt – during a training session earlier in the week, she hit her shoulder on the board during a dive.

Other medals were won on ice, as the Fraser Valley’s female hockey team captured gold after an unbeaten run through the competition. Sunday morning in Mission, the Valley team – which features more than a dozen Surrey

and White Rock players – edged Zone 4 (Fraser River-Delta) by a 3-2 score in a game that was in doubt until the final buzzer.

Aldergrove’s Alicia Perez put Fraser Valley ahead less than three minutes into the game. Before the first period was over, Priya Sidhu of Surrey and Alexis Kahlert of Maple Ridge upped the difference to 3-0.

Fraser River Delta replied with tallies from Hailee Piendl in the second period and Megan Lai with six minutes remaining. Fraser River Delta then spent the final minute in the Fraser Valley zone, but were unable to force overtime.

DOG UTOPIAAny dog lover will tell you that pets are truly a member of the family, and deserve the very best in attention and care.

They even deserve to be pampered now and then – at Dog Utopia Daycare & Spa in South Surrey, their gentle, caring approach and attention to detail will ensure your four-legged friend comes home feeling and looking their best.

The highly trained and experienced staff, including groomer Anastasia Pikios, focus on helping dogs through the grooming process with minimal stress and anxiety. Using top quality and natural products, the team at Dog Utopia offers services including bathing, nails, ear cleaning, de-shedding, de-matting and full grooming, including specialty cuts.

If your pooch is still a baby, the spa offers a special Puppy Package, a gentle, gradual way to introduce puppies to the grooming experience and get them accustomed to the process they’ll have to undergo their entire lives.

Grooming services are available six days a week, by appointment only.

In addition to helping dogs look and feel their best with grooming services, Dog Utopia offers a fun place for small or medium-sized dogs to play at their supervised doggy daycare. This kennel-free, clean environment – with access to a supervised outdoor area – is the perfect spot for your pooch to socialize with some pals and get some much-needed play time in.

The staff at Dog Utopia are true dog lovers, and are thrilled to be able to spend their days doing something they are passionate about. Their dedication is evident in the care and attention they pay each and every dog that comes through the door.

Owner Megan Ferris – who also provides grooming services part time – has been working with dogs for close to 15 years, and believes exercise, mental stimulation and affection as well as structure and consistency are the keys to a dog’s happiness.

Training services are also available from certifi ed trainer Jeff Rowat, who combines positive reinforcement with high standards of behaviour, resulting in confi dent and reliable companion dogs.

Fraser Valley head coach Al Wozney. “So a lot of that pressure was on us. The girls really came together in the second game against Vancouver Island. And that shootout win propelled us through the next two games.”

On ice of a different kind, Fraser Valley’s boys curling team – skipped by Cloverdale’s Tyler Tardi – won bronze.

The Tardi rink lost just once, but it was during a semifinal match Saturday, 6-3 against Zone 4’s Brayden Carpenter.

In the bronze game, Team Tardi made short work of Zone 2 (Thompson-Okanagan), winning 9-3 in six ends.

Tardi had a strong start, scoring two in the first end. Then after holding the Zone 2 team to one in the second end, the Cloverdale resident tacked on four points in the third medal for a 6-1 lead after just three

ends of play.“There’s less pressure

when you’re not playing for the gold medal,” said Tardi. “The two teams in the final deserve to be there, they were playing very well. Bronze is what we deserved.”

Rounding out medals won on ice, Surrey figure skater Benjamin Mangabat won bronze in the pre-novice men competition.

In gymnastics, Surrey’s Sage Bishop-Beaurone won two gold medals – in uneven bars and vault – and added a bronze all-around medal, while the Valley’s Special Olympics basketball team also picked up a bronze medal. The hoops squad featured Surrey players Scott Laroue, Tracy Payne, Scott Stewart and Jaspreet Warach.

The Zone 3 netball team – which featured Cyrille Butac and Simran Grewal – also added a bronze medal.

Boaz Joseph photoThe BC Aquasonics’ 13-15 combo team competes during Syncro BC’s provincial championships earlier this month.

The host team dominated at B.C. Synchronized Swimming Championships last weekend in Surrey, winning gold medals in every team event.

The B.C. Aquasonics won in the senior, junior ‘A’ and 13-15A team events, as well as in the 13-15 combo category.

Olivia Zawadiuk won gold in the senior solo event, and Seray Sefayi of Surrey won a silver medal in 13-15 solo.

Sefayi, Anna Seiler, Madyson Stickley and

Erina Williams were the Surrey athletes on the senior team which won gold, as was White Rock’s Mackenzy Higgins. Sefayi, Seiler and Stickley were also on the junior squad.

Local swimmers on the 13-15A team and the 13-15 combo team included Jessica Friesen, Courtney Armstrong and Nancy Zhang of Surrey, and Delta’s Grade Macdonald and Abby Rothwell. Sefayi was also on the combo team.

Macular DegenerationMacular Degeneration

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects the area of the eye that is responsible for detailed central vision. Macular degeneration causes a blur or distortion to the center of your vision making reading, driving and recognizing people’s faces to become diffi cult.

There are two types of AMD: dry and wet. The dry form is the more common, milder form. The change in vision develops

slowly over time. The wet form accounts for approximately 10% of all AMD. It is a sudden leakage of weak blood vessels at the macula causing vision changes to progress rapidly. Dry AMD can progress to wet AMD.

In the earliest stages, macular degeneration can be symptom free and only detected during a routine eye health and vision assessment. Early detection is important as there is currently no cure for AMD. Dry AMD is treated with lifestyle modifi cations like exercise, wearing sunglasses to reduce UV damage and stopping smoking. Many cases of wet AMD can be treated with injections of anti-VEGF therapy into the eye to stop leaking blood vessels. Ocular vitamin supplements including lutein and zeaxanthin can assist in slowing the progression of AMD.

Lifelong UV prevention and good nutrition play key roles in prevention of AMD. Living a healthy lifestyle by keeping your

blood pressure down, reducing your intake of fatty foods and not smoking are all recommended. A diet high in antioxidants such as those found in fruits and leafy vegetables are recommended. Regular eye health and vision assessments are recommended every 2 years for ages 40 to 64 and then yearly for over age 65.

Dr. Melanie Sherk, Dr. Cindy Anderson, Dr. Tracy Ertel, Dr. Tracey Curry, Dr. Sally Donaldson and Dr Natasha Grewal are all Doctors of Optometry. We provide a comprehensive vision and eye health exam. We have been looking after the vision and eye health care of the Semiahmoo Peninsula over 30 years. We always welcome new patients and hope we will have the opportunity to provide for your eye care needs in the near future. We are located near Price Smart Foods and Shoppers Drug Mart across from the Semiahmoo Mall.

It is with sadness that we an-nounce the passing of Marion Anders on Feb 12, 2014. She will always be lovingly remem-bered by her son, daughter-in-law and grandson, numerous nieces and nephews. At her request there will be no service. Those who have known her and loved her can say their goodbyes in their own hearts and in their own way. We would like to thank the staff at the Dr. Al Hogg Pavillion for the wonderful care they gave her.

GILLETTE, Lou (Florence Louise Gillette-Scheffl er)October 9, 1952-

February 19, 2014

It is with much love and great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved wife and mother, Lou Gillette on February 19th. Born on the 9th of October 1952, Lou grew up in Thunder Bay, Ontario. She worked at Peace Arch Hospital for 26 years, and was loved by her colleagues as a supervisor in recreation therapy. She died due to complications from the cancer she had been living with for the past four years. The decline in her health had been gradual over the past few years, and then sudden in her last two weeks. She passed away early Wednes-day morning at Surrey Memo-rial Hospital. She is survived by her husband of 29 years (Art), and her daughter (Jorie). She will be greatly missed by all of her friends and family. In lieu of fl owers, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated.Condolences can be left for

the family online at www.kearneyfs.com.

7 OBITUARIES

Joan Taylor

Joan was born in Lancaster England on September 13, 1931 and passed away peace-fully on January 16, 2014 in White Rock. Joan loved to travel and visited her sister in East Africa, and enjoyed nu-merous trips to Hawaii and back to the old country to visit her family. She enjoyed cheer-ing on The Vancouver Canucks and watching British soccer. She loved walking her dogs, camping, dancing, sing-ing, and swimming. Joan was predeceased by her son Russell. She is survived by her daughter Lesley (Barry) and sons Glen (Morena) and Paul (Misa). Joan was proud grand-mother to Kathleen (Kevin), Bryan, Matthew, Tamara, Justin and Nicole and great-grandson Christopher. She is survived by her sister Brenda, nephew Brendan and niece Karen who live in the U.K. A celebration of life will be held in the spring.

LUCAS, Mary TheresaBorn December 6, 1927,

passed away February 19, 2014

Mary was predeceased by her husband Al Ponsford, and husband Bob Lucas. Mary is survived by her son Peter Ponsford, her granddaughter Samantha and great grand-daughter Sydney. Mary is also survived by her two sisters, Margo James of Las Vegas and Ada Hagen of Calgary. Mary had nieces and nephews and enjoyed a close relation-ship with her niece Christine. From Bob’s family there are six children, Doug, Don, Debbie, Mike, Tom & Drew and 9 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren. Mary was a quiet and unassuming person. If you were lucky enough to know her you soon realized she had many layers. She enjoyed good humour, culture and was even a world traveller. She especially loved the many cruise ship journeys and trips to her be-loved Britain. She enjoyed life and this included collecting her “treasures”, listening to beautiful music, enjoying a good meal, reading a wonderful book, watching British detective shows and of course playing Bingo! and winning card games. Most of all, Mary Theresa was generous of spirit and had a giving heart. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends, as she touched all our lives in her own special way.

No Service by Mary’s request.

ARIESAries, you want more than you can acquire this week and your desires may lead you astray. It is impor-tant to exercise self-restraint, even if you get a thrill from living on the edge.

TAURUSTaurus, make a concerted effort to improve your focus in the weeks ahead. There is much to lose if you cannot tackle the tasks at hand, particularly at the workplace.

GEMINI

Gemini, it's unlike you to slow down, so don't be surprised when friends start looking at you curi-ously after you take your foot off the gas. Your free spirited nature will soon return.

CANCERCancer, find a routine that works for you and then stick with it. There is no need to reinvent the wheel, and when actions become automatic, you can focus on other things.

LEOA need for attention could get the better of you, Leo. A little humility goes a long way and can alter others' perceptions of you. You may end up being seen in a more positive light.

VIRGOVirgo, you can differentiate between right and wrong, but your judgement might be off this week. Rely on your intuition, but don't make any big decisions without first thinking carefully.

LIBRA

Libra, it may seem like you arebeing led astray by one thing afteranother, when all you want is tofocus on one task at a time. Find a way to block out any and all distractions.

SCORPIOScorpio, work on a creative project with a sweetheart or friend earlyin the week. Ideas will flow easilyand your imaginations will soartogether. It is a productive pairing.

SAGITTARIUS

This is not your week to mix loveand money, Sagittarius. In fact, keep the two as separate as pos-sible, and exercise caution beforelending anyone money.

CAPRICORN

Capricorn, you want to playoutside of the rules this week. You normally like to follow a relativelytraditional course, so this catchesothers off guard.

AQUARIUSYou don't always have thepatience to stick with the sameroutine, Aquarius. That means oth-ers cannot expect you to conformto their whims if they want youas a friend.

PISCES

Pisces, you may need to sacrificesome security for a chance tohave a memorable experience. Do something out of the ordinary.
