Construction of fencing ordered by Transport Canada to curb tres-passing along the waterfront rail line east of White Rock’s Finlay Street got underway Wednesday – to the dismay of merchants and residents alike.

Darren Marshall, owner of Feral Boardsports, said he is upset about minimal notice given, the lack of opportunity to provide input and the potential impact the barrier will have on business.

“This, it just seems like it’s all been kept a secret,” said Marshall, who learned of the work late last week. “I think it’s a massive disre-spect to every single person that owns a property down there.”

The six-foot-high, wrought-iron-style barrier went up along 160 feet of property on the north side of the train tracks, eastward from the pedestrian railway crossing.

Gus Melonas, spokesperson for railway owner BNSF, confirmed the structure is a result of dis-cussions with Transport Canada regarding safety concerns that arose following the July 2013 death of a jogger on East Beach tracks.

Surrey First spent $1.18 million secur-ing every seat on city council, according to recently released campaign disclosure state-ments.

The expense period covers money spent from Jan. 1 to Nov. 15, 2014, and eclipses that of Mayor Linda Hepner’s Surrey First competitors.

Mayoral candidate Barinder Rasode’s One Surrey coalition spent $347,000 during the run up to the election, and Safe Surrey, with Doug McCallum as mayoral hopeful, spent just over $70,000.

The $1.2 million spent by Surrey First is a

new high-water mark for the organization, which spent $662,000 in the 2011 election, when it also swept council.

In White Rock, the highest expenses were logged by the White Rock Coalition, which raised just shy of $100,000 to win four of six councillor seats.

White Rock’s mayor, Wayne Baldwin spent $10,950 to get re-elected.

This year’s contributors to the Surrey First campaign read like a who’s who of the devel-opment industry, as $902,000 of the cam-paign war chest was created by corporations.

David Balsor contributed $25,000 to the campaign, while Robert Bosa gave the coali-tion $21,500.

Other big contributors include: Bhupinder Ajula ($20,000), Surrey Firefighters Asso-ciation ($32,600), Gurved Sandhu ($15,000) and Ralph Berezan ($13,000).

The vast majority of the campaign expendi-tures ($301,000) went to salaries and wages. Research and polling gobbled $163,000 of the campaign funds, while radio, TV and newspaper ads came to $174,000.

Contributors to Rasode’s One Surrey’s cam-paign were a mix of union groups, develop-ers and members of the community. Larger donors included Bosa Properties ($14,000), BC Maritime Employers ($12,000), United Steelworkers ($10,000), Value Industries ($10,000), and the Rasode family ($10,000).

The bulk of Rasode’s expenditures went to “other” advertising ($120,000) and research and polling ($50,000).

He said input on the fence’s design was sought from Semiahmoo First Nation, and led to “more of a wrought-iron-design look.”

SFN spokesperson Joanne Charles con-firmed the band supports the work, however she said her design suggestions were not used.

“I put forward what I wanted and what we would’ve liked to have seen, and unfortu-nately, that’s not what transpired,” she said Wednesday. “I provided suggestions and they went with what they suggested.”

Charles said the work stems from Trans-port Canada’s pedestrian-safety report.

“We… understand the desire to ensure that pedestrians are using the pedestrian crossing across the railway for protection as a result of (the July 2013 death),” she said.

Other steps that have been taken as a result of the report include levelling the grade of the pedestrian crossings, adding chainlink mesh to the black hand-railings that run the length of the promenade and installing bol-lards at the West Beach boat launch.

Charles said the band’s archaeologist is mon-itoring installation of the East Beach fence. While provisions to ensure beach access were not included, Charles said the fence is to have gates available only to the City of White Rock to maintain the enclosed grassy area.

The restricted access is a concern for Mar-shall, whose water-sports business requires paddleboards to be hauled back and forth to the waterfront. Manoeuvring the boards – which are nine to 14 feet long, weigh up to 30 pounds and worth anywhere from $1,000 to $2,500 each – through the pedestrian crossing is awkward and can easily result in damage to the equipment, he said.

The fence design, he added, “looks like Alcatraz.”

Marshall and some residents who routinely walk the promenade are also not convinced the fence will be as much of a trespassing deterrent as officials are hoping.

“People will still use that car park (in Semi-

ahmoo Park) and they’ll still walk all the way along the tracks. They’re not going to stop that,” Marshall said.

Brenda Strobl, an East Beach resident for 2½ years, agreed.

“Those that live here, I think there’ll be some respect, initially. But eventually, it’ll just become an eyesore,” Strobl said.

“I’m not against safety; safety comes first. But a fence will not fix the problem. People will find a way to walk on the tracks.”

Strobl described the chainlink mesh added to the promenade handrails as a suitable way to send the safety message – “The taller (fence) makes it look like we’re like animals.”

Marshall noted the relative silence on the current work is a far cry to the attention that changes to West Beach received last year. There was a public outcry and much com-ment from the city’s politicians, he said.

“Everybody in White Rock was all over that,” Marshall said. “It just seems wrong compared to how it was done in West Beach.”

White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin noted the difference is the current work is not actually in White Rock. The strip of land between Semiahmoo First Nation Land and the pedestrian crossing in White Rock is actually in the City of Surrey.

Baldwin described the waterfront over-haul, as a whole, as “an over-reaction,” and predicted the latest change could prove cum-bersome for Marshall’s business.

newsTransLink decision ‘failed to instil confidence in voters’

Poll shows ‘no’ takes lead in transit vote

Transit-tax proponents talk of negative future if plebiscite fails

Small crowd takes part in ‘yes’ forum

Premier urged to help

‘TransLink belongs to the mayors’Jeff NagelBlack Press

Premier Christy Clark is rejecting calls for her to directly campaign for a ‘yes’ vote in the transit-sales-tax referendum that some propo-nents fear is at risk of failing.

And she deflected suggestions the province must enact new reforms to TransLink to make it more accountable.

“Only the mayors – if there are problems that need to be addressed in TransLink – can fix those prob-lems, because it’s not a provin-cially run organization,” Clark said Wednesday in Surrey. “TransLink belongs to the mayors. These deci-sions belong to the mayors and they are the leaders of this.”

Clark said the province has “done what we can” and suggested ‘yes’ campaigners who are worried about defeat are just “concerned they won’t get the answer they want” and should try harder.

The premier was fielding media questions after a post-budget speech to a business audience.

Surrey Board of Trade CEO Anita Huberman said Clark is wrong to characterize the mayors as fully in control, noting TransLink runs under provincial legislation.

Huberman stood by her earlier comments that the premier made a mistake in requiring the referendum on a new transit-tax source and that politicians are elected to make the hard decisions on critical issues.

“This plebiscite should not even be taking place – it’s too complex a subject for the population to even consider.”

Huberman and other ‘yes’ cam-paigners have expressed concern that a “no” outcome will block a 0.5-per-cent regional sales tax and the accompanying $7.5 billion in transit and transportation projects.

The Surrey Board of Trade wants the government to commit to never hold such a referendum again.

Jeff NagelBlack Press

A recent poll now gives the ‘no’ side a strong lead in the Metro Vancouver transit-improvement plebiscite.

The latest Insights West online survey of 653 Metro residents found 53 per cent will “probably” or “definitely” vote against the 0.5 per cent Metro-only sales tax to fund various upgrades, while 38 per cent will likely vote in favour.

It’s a reversal from earlier polls by the firm that had given the ‘yes’ side a four-point advantage as recently as January.

Insights West vice-president Mario Can-seco said the strong gain for the ‘no’ side appears to have come from drivers, middle-income earners and South of the Fraser area residents.

The latest survey was conducted Feb. 12-14,

after the TransLink board decided to replace CEO Ian Jarvis but keep him on as an advisor until mid-2016 rather than pay severance.

Aimed at improving public confidence by installing a new CEO and a change of direc-tion, the move has been widely criticized.

“As a short-term measure to instil confi-dence in the voters, it failed,” Canseco said, noting just one in 10 voters say they trust TransLink to deliver new projects effectively. “It clearly hasn’t helped the ‘yes’ side.”

The new poll breaks down the results by sub-region for the first time. It shows the strongest support in Vancouver and Richmond, with 48 per cent ‘yes’ support to 45 per cent ‘no’.

The most opposition comes South of the Fraser, with 62 per cent likely to vote ‘no’ and 31 per cent ‘yes’. It’s a similar story on the North Shore, where 61 per cent are opposed and 27 per cent in favour.

Burnaby, the Tri-Cities and Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows had 49 per cent likely ‘no’ vot-ers and 39 per cent in the ‘yes’ camp.

The level of undecided voters was six per cent in Vancouver, Richmond and South of the Fraser, and about 10 per cent elsewhere.

The margin of error is plus or minus four per cent, 19 times out of 20.

Canseco said the strong ‘no’ vote South of the Fraser is surprising, given that the area will be a main beneficiary of the upgrades.

New Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner’s cam-paign promise to find an alternate way to build light rail if the referendum fails appears to have fed the ‘no’ forces, he said.

“The fact there was a hint or a mention of a Plan B to get that light rail system going has a lot of people saying ‘Why am I saying yes to a tax hike? There’s no reason for me to vote and have a tax hike if the mayor has a

solution that’s not going to cost me money.’”Canseco said the ‘no’ campaign’s use of

Hepner’s quotes “shows you how confusing this move has been.”

He said opposition on the North Shore is more logical.

“You could argue the North Shore has a lot of drivers, a lot of people who don’t see anything beneficial apart from the SeaBus.”

Canseco said he doesn’t see the ‘yes’ cam-paign as a lost cause, particularly as ballots won’t arrive until the second half of March and voters could keep them around for sev-eral weeks before marking them.

But he said the mayors must find different messaging that works, particularly on driv-ers who are so far skeptical of the benefits and not yet swayed by warnings of crushing congestion in the years ahead under a status quo transit system.

There were more than enough chairs for the small crowd attending a transit-plebiscite information forum hosted by the ‘yes’ side at White Rock Community Centre Thursday evening.

“We did advertise it, but it hasn’t been picked up that well yet,” noted Mayor Wayne Baldwin as he introduced guest speakers who each encouraged a ‘yes’ vote in the spring plebiscite asking Metro Vancouver residents whether they support a 0.5 per cent sales tax planned to raise $7.5 billion for transit improvements over the next decade.

Included in the nearly 50 attendees were speakers Mike Buda, interim executive direc-tor of the Mayors’ Council on Regional Trans-portation; Gavin McGarrigle, representing the Better Transit and Transportation Coalition (BTTC); Surrey Coun. Judy Villeneuve; and other councillors and staff from the City of White Rock and mayors’ council.

All speakers addressed what they consider a critical need in the growing region to support the plan.

Baldwin said that as tasked by the provincial government, the only alternative available to the mayors’ council is an increase in property

tax, which he noted would hit local residents harder than the increase in sales tax.

Buda spoke of the improvements planned for the region – including more buses, new routes, faster commutes and improved driving condi-tions – noting the money raised via the tax will be dedicated to funding transit and will be fully accountable through yearly audits.

“This plan is unique – absolutely unique – and in a good way,” Buda said. “We don’t see this anywhere else in Canada, and I’m not sure it’s even anywhere else in North America.”

Buda spoke of transit users no longer looking at bus schedules, as rides would be available every 7½ minutes. In White Rock, under the mayors’ plan, three times as many residents

would be within walking distance of frequent transit, he explained.

McGarrigle, a South Surrey resident and vice-president of the BC Federation of Labour, spoke of the diverse backers of a ‘yes’ vote, including unions, employers, students, the David Suzuki Foundation and both the BC Liberals and NDP.

Calling the BTTC “a coalition of strange bedfellows,” he urged voters “to get past the cynicism, to get past the negativity.”

Villeneuve told the small crowd that a ‘yes vote is “crucial” for communities south of the Fraser River.

“There’s been a lot said about the referendum and a lot of rhetoric from both sides,” she said.

Villeneuve noted all Metro Vancouver may-ors support the plan, but when questioned from the audience on this, Baldwin noted all mayors support the proposal, but three are vot-ing ‘no’ because of “governance” issues.

Comments from the audience included a concern over TransLink’s reliance on taxis to augment HandyDart (Buda noted a planned 30 per cent increase in HandyDart service) and longtime bus driver Gordon Fletcher urging support for the plan, reiterating earlier com-ments that drivers of full buses loathe having to bypass would-be passengers.

Former Mayor Doug McCal-lum’s Safe Surrey Coalition received its larger donations from Bill’s Developments (Bob Cheema) for $9,600, Crown Dis-tributors ($5,000), and Wendy and Rodney Cameron ($5,000).

Safe Surrey spent almost half of its contributions on salaries and wages ($30,000) and “other” campaign expenses ($15,800).

Surrey First Education (SFE), which swept all the Surrey school board seats, spent $35,000 in its campaign. The larg-est donor by far was the Canadian Union of Pub-lic Employees (CUPE), which donated $11,000 to the coalition. It represents the only union contribu-tion to the SFE campaign. There was also $16,700 from corporations and $7,500 from individuals.

The largest contributor’s to White Rock Coalition’s campaign was developer Forge Properties Inc., at $6,500; Oviedo Homes Ltd. gave $5,000, as did each of two of the coali-tion candidates (Bill Law-rence and Cliff Annable).

For Baldwin, the larg-est donation ($2,500) to his campaign came from former councillor Stewart

Peddemors, followed by $1,500 from Avra Development Corp.

Baldwin’s challenger, David Bradshaw, spent just under $6,800 on his run at the mayor’s chair, with the bulk of the funds donated by Bradshaw himself, including $4,000 from his company, DWB Workers’ Advocacy Inc.

Of councillor candidates, Den-nis Lypka spent the most, at $10,670, followed by WRC coun-

cillors Grant Meyer ($10,310) and Megan Knight ($9,725).By law, all people or electoral orga-nizations participating in the 2014 civic elections had until Friday, Feb. 13 to file their finan-cial information.

That information was made public on the Elections BC web-site Monday (contributions.elec-tionsbc.gov.bc.ca/pcs/LESearch.aspx)

Huberman said the province needs to reform TransLink’s gov-ernance to help rebuild public confidence in TransLink, which she said was further damaged by the decision to replace its CEO.

She urged Clark and Transpor-tation Minister Todd Stone to get directly involved in educat-ing voters about the merits of the mayors’ proposal.

“We want her and the trans-portation minister to really try to push the ‘yes’ vote,” she said. “The challenge is we have a very short period of time to explain what the investments will be and some people don’t even know what a B-Line bus is.”

Clark said she believes the ‘yes’ side has a good chance to win with mayors from Surrey and Vancou-ver taking prominent roles.

The premier also defended her decision to require a referendum, which was a campaign promise in the 2013 provincial election.

“I’m proud that we are giving people a chance to have a say in this,” Clark said. “We are going to respect what people tell us.”

Pattullo tolls opposedWhile the Surrey Board of

Trade is an active partner in the ‘yes’ campaign, one of its posi-tions could actually unravel the regional plan if it gets traction.

It wants the new Pattullo Bridge to remain untolled – a prob-lematic demand since the Metro Vancouver mayors’ plan is predi-cated on tolls paying for nearly all of the billion-dollar bridge replacement project.

“What we’re hearing from the business community is they need a way to get out of the city for their businesses without having another bridge tolled,” she said

SBOT is also advocating for a Phase 2 plan for light rail to extend to Cloverdale and South Surrey, which is currently prom-ised a B-Line express bus.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper was at Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Cloverdale campus Thursday, to announce support for “new and well-paying” jobs in the liquefied natural gas industry.

The visit included word of tax relief for the developing industry, through a capital cost allowance rate of 30 per cent for equipment used in natural gas liquefaction and 10 per cent for buildings at a facility that liquefies natural gas.

The relief will be available to assets acquired after Feb. 19 and before 2025.

The “substantial tax measures… will allow investors in facilities that liquefy natural gas anywhere in Canada to recover their start-up capital costs more quickly,” Harper told the crowd.

Harper said the steps provide the LNG industry “with even greater incentive to invest in Canada’s future.”

“This is not about fueling – not merely about fueling the world’s energy needs, although that is an opportunity for us to grasp – this is about fueling the economy of this province and indeed, of the whole country.”

Harper was joined

at KPU by Minister of Industry James Moore, Minister of State (Seniors) Alice Wong, South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale MP Russ Hiebert, Vancouver South MP Wai Young, and Prince George–Peace River MP Bob Zimmer.

Hiebert described

the tax relief as “an important measure.”

“And, given that the global LNG trade is projected to increase by 40 per cent over the next few years, the development of this industry will provide long-term prosperity for Canada.”

And if we wish to see bullying eradicated from our society, we must be sure to focus on the issue in a meaningful way.

Donning a pink shirt Wednesday may make a strong symbolic statement, but we should ensure it is accompanied by some careful thought about the many forms bullying takes in our society.

We must be careful that Pink Shirt Day – which started when high school students in Nova Scotia decided to wear pink shirts in solidarity with a bullied junior – doesn’t become yet another of the convenient check-boxes we too often substitute for genuine empathy.

Bullying and intimidation can infect every area of society today – not only our schools, but our workplaces, our roads, our store parking lots, our parks – and practically anywhere else that can be considered a public space. It is rampant in our political arenas, where too often party members are cowed into stifling independent opinion or expression of conscience.

No matter how much we pride ourselves on being multicultural and inclusive, intolerance is currently abundant at street level. People fear looking or dressing differently than some amorphous ‘norm,’ and anyone who comes from a different culture or faith or lifestyle can be expected to endure a certain amount of finger-pointing, ridicule or worse.

Intellectually, anyone who reserves the right to voice dissent runs the risk of being labelled a “wing-nut” or a “conspiracist,” or some other dismissive term.

Judging by postings shared on social media, there are still many out there who don’t see it as that big a problem. Bullying will always exist, they say; we should teach our kids to toughen up and not be part of ‘a society of victims.’

It’s the old argument: ‘what doesn’t kill us, makes us stronger.’

Fortunately, it’s not the approach we take with either disease or crime, both of which we acknowledge to be risks to our society. We should be clear on this: bullying is both a disease and a crime. And anyone who thinks it hasn’t killed is wilfully ignorant of history.

Pink Shirt Day underlines that bullying is not simply some childhood phase to be outgrown.

When it comes to bullying, it’s time we all grew up.

VICTORIA – The B.C. government’s third straight budget surplus is the main

battleground for provincial politicians this spring, with little else on the order paper to argue about.

The main conflict is over the tax cut for the rich that results from removing a two-year surtax on personal income greater than $150,000 a year. It’s an outrage, says the NDP, starving our threadbare government services of more than $200 million over the next three years.

NDP leader John Horgan set the tone in his reply to Finance Minister Mike de Jong’s budget speech:

“I can appreciate that the minister was celebrating with the champagne-and-caviar set, but the rest of British Columbia saw $700 million in increased fees and taxes on their backs.”

Old news, de Jong replied. It was a two-year surtax on high-income earners to help get B.C. out of its post-recession red ink, and it expired as it was legislated to do.

This political theatre doesn’t help people understand what’s actually going on. First, a lot of that red ink was BC

Liberal blood from dismantling the harmonized sales tax and repaying Ottawa for that failed experiment.

Second, this temporary tax on the rich was a political strategy by de Jong and Premier Christy Clark, limping into an election most expected them to lose. De Jong’s debut budget in February 2013 also accelerated a small increase in corporate income tax, stealing two populist planks from Adrian Dix’s NDP platform.

Ending the surtax not only kept a promise, it kept B.C. competitive with Alberta on personal income taxes. High-wage earners and many of their businesses are more mobile every year, which is why this

year’s budget also extended tax breaks for high-tech and digital media companies.

Another tweak in de Jong’s budget was to increase the low-income cutoff for personal income tax from $18,000 to $19,000. Those with the lowest incomes are relieved not only of income tax but also medical premiums, which continue to march up by another four per cent, and are mostly paid by employers.

As with the federal election set for this fall, we will hear a lot about the burden on the vaguely defined “middle class.”

In B.C. they have to dig deeper for car insurance, hydro, ferry rides and post-secondary tuition, while those top-hatted champagne-sippers party on with their tax holiday?

Well, not exactly. Here’s an assessment from Philip Cross, research co-ordinator at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute and former chief economic analyst at Statistics Canada.

Just after the 2013 B.C. election, Cross noted that Canada, its provinces, Europe and the United States have all been adjusting their tax systems to increase the load on wealthier people and ease it from the poor.

This has closed the wage gap considerably in Canada. By 2010, the top 20 per cent of earners were paying 58.3 per cent of all income taxes. That’s up from 50 per cent in 1976, showing how long Canada’s income taxes have been “progressive.” This is the main reason why “income inequality,” that other great cause of the left, started levelling off in Canada around 1998.

Cross points to measures like the low-income exemption from income tax. By 2013, the bottom 40 per cent of Canadian households were paying just 6.8 per cent of income taxes, and more than a third of income tax filers were paying none at all.

Cross asks and answers the central question: Should the rich pay more? “If it’s a misinformed attempt to compensate for imaginary losses of low-income people, the answer is clearly no.”

Denying cause no solutionEditor:Re: Can’t stop global warming, Feb. 10 column; Clearing the air, Feb. 17 letters.

What a relief? Environmental columnist Dr. Roy Strang and the climate experts writing in his support have relieved my anxiety.

I no longer have to worry that a human population of 7.5 billion people have any affect on the atmosphere. Unchecked endless growth capitalism will keep my standard of living high and technology will solve all my problems. No longer do I have to worry about melting ice caps or ocean acidification, those occur naturally anyways.

Forget the 95 per cent of climate scientists that believe in anthropogenic global warming, as they are ‘lefty’ authoritarian conspirators out to destroy my way of life. I’m going to fill up my gas tank and go skiing on the dirt.

I hope your grandchildren forgive you.Mike Hammersmark, Surrey

For those of you talking about CO2 and its effect on climate change, CO2 is just a part of the whole package. The climate has been constantly warming over the last three decades or so, and some of this is due to the human effect and the CO2 we have been putting into the air among other chemicals.

The CO2 warms up the air and causes evaporation, which creates water vapour. The vapour also creates warming and is the cause of the increased weather episodes.

The sea ice in the north is melting at a staggering rate, which causes the ocean to absorb more heat rather than reflecting it into space. The heat causes the ice to melt even faster and the vicious circle is in full swing. Now we have the tundra thawing out and when that happens the methane gas trapped under it is released into the atmosphere.

Methane is by far much more dangerous than the other stuff in creating way more heat. You don’t have to be a math expert to figure out where this is heading.

You can debate all you want, but this is something happening now and we and our future are at stake. Even for those die-hard people who think for some strange reason the globe isn’t warming, let’s just do what is best to clean up the earth we keep dumping all kinds of garbage into. Brian Lauder, Surrey

Motives called into questionEditor:

Looks like democracy in White Rock went the way of the Dodo Bird on Dec. 1, the day the new council was sworn in.

During the term of Hardy Staub as mayor and Wayne Baldwin, city manager, question period was cancelled. The next council, under

Judy Forster, reinstituted it under a commitment to openness and transparency. It continued during Catherine Ferguson’s mayoralty and into Baldwin’s first term, when things started changing.

There was a time when the 15-minute question period was held prior to the council meeting and anyone could ask a question about any topic. Many people attended and asked many important questions – important to them anyway.

Then along came Mayor Baldwin, who decided for some reason to move it to the end of the meeting. The result of this decision? The number of questioners dwindled. People having to get up early the next day to go to work couldn’t hang around all night waiting for a meeting that might never end.

But there were still some hardy folks who took the change in stride and continued to ask important questions. So Baldwin decided that only questions relating to items on the agenda would be allowed.

The same hardy folks persisted and continued to ask questions.

Somewhere along the way, Baldwin decided that the public watching council meetings on Shaw Cable should not be allowed to see or hear these important questions, so Shaw Cable was instructed to shut down the cameras before question period could proceed.

Now, you have to ask yourself, why is the mayor shutting down question period? Maybe it’s because he doesn’t want the public to see

that there are people out there who are asking important questions.

Baldwin stated that “there are three people, no more than that, who have ever made use of it,” (Council plans to end question period, Jan. 29). He knows this is not true; just like all the supposed complaints about the White Rock Farmer’s Market (Market disputes mayor’s ‘complaints’, Feb. 3).

Are you surprised that Coun. Lynne Sinclair thinks “it serves no purpose” and the mayor says, “this does not seem to be of any value”?

Well, Mr. Mayor, the value to the people of White Rock was the opportunity to remind all council that they are accountable to the people who elected them. Margaret F. Woods, White Rock

Sound of musicappreciationEditor:

Earlier this month, I thought I must have drowned and gone to heaven.

While changing after a morning swim at South Surrey Indoor Pool, my ears were greeted by the sounds of music, played on a solo harp.

In the foyer, a young woman was playing a lovely, soothing melody. The conversation about her beautiful French instrument was much appreciated. Thank you, Esther, for an unforgettable Valentine gift.Tony Walter, Surrey

Family Day‘fix’ not betterEditor:

I was still working when Family Day was declared a holiday on the second Monday in February. I do not remember any consultation with the public. It assists no one.

When I was working for an international company, its policy was that everyone in Canada have the same number of statutory holidays.

Ontario, Alberta and others had their Family Day. B.C. did not. Other provinces’ Family Day on the third Monday of February was given to us as a ‘floating holiday,’ which we could take whenever we wanted – which actually worked better for us than having the designated date! It was a healthy, happy solution for all.Margaret Boon, Surrey

Public domain imageNew anti-terror legislation would criminalize peaceful protest – such as the 1940 Salt March – writes Phil Harrison.

Editor:Our federal government has tabled legislation, Bill

C-51, that will criminalize dissent.Environmentalists are not terrorists threatening the

state, but they do have a different vision as to how our country’s economy should grow and the direction it should take. This is hardly subversive.

Our country has a history where divergent views are not only accepted, but encouraged. Up until recently, this practice has been not only accepted, but supported financially by our federal government.

To say that peaceful protest is criminal is to say Rosa

Parks’ refusal to sit in the back of the bus because she was black, or Mahatma Gandhi’s Salt March was criminal. These two protests were instrumental in ending segregation in the U.S. and the British oppression of India, respectively. Both today are widely praised as brave opposition to oppressive state law.

I am worried that my beloved country is sliding into a police state where people are afraid to criticize government and government policy.

The threat of terrorism should not be used as an excuse to limit people’s right to dissent.Phil Harrison, Surrey

Limits placed on right to dissent


Tracy HolmesStaff Reporter

The caller gave Rod Torr an hour’s notice: pay up on his outstanding BC Hydro bill, or his power would be cut off.

“You, obviously, go into a panic,” Torr, owner of ABC Country Restaurant in South Surrey, said of the threat that came in the middle of his dinner rush last Tuesday.

“It’s disgusting.”The scam – in which

a caller purporting to represent BC Hydro demands credit card or bank account information to immediately clear up supposed arrears – is a familiar one to BC Hydro officials. They first warned about it last September, and it has remained a prevalent issue ever since.

BC Hydro spokesperson Moira Scott said Friday that since Dec. 1, the utility has received more than 750 reports from customers who were contacted by “these fraudsters.” Of those reports, more than 550 were from within the Lower Mainland.

The scam is largely targeting small businesses – restaurants in particular, Scott said.

While not everyone is taken in, some customers have lost “a couple thousand dollars,” she said.

Torr said he is concerned the perpetrators will prey on more vulnerable customers.

Scott said one of the best protections customers have is to know how BC Hydro actually operates in cases of arrears.

“We would never call them and demand

for money,” she said. “Customers are provided numerous notifications (by mail) before we ever disconnect power.”

The power company also does not collect credit-card or bank-account information over the phone.

Torr said the individual who called him wanted his Visa number in order to bring the bill up to date, and provided a call-back phone number that seemed to connect to the power company’s customer-service line.

Scott said other customers have reported being told to go buy a pre-paid Visa or Mastercard at their local grocery store to cover the tab.

It’s a method of payment that BC Hydro does not accept,

she noted.That many of the

fraudulent calls are showing up on customers’ call displays as coming from BC Hydro – a tactic known as “spoofing” – is complicating the issue.

“They’re basically set up to be just like us,” Scott said.

In addition to reminding customers of the utility’s process, BC Hydro is using social media to try and combat the problem, as well as messages through mainstream media and on the company’s website.

“We’re really trying to do everything we can,” Scott said.

Scott said anyone doubting the authenticity of a call regarding their account should hang up and call back to BC Hydro, at 1-800-224-9376

(1-800-BCHydro). Account balances can also be checked via the utility’s website, www.bchydro.com, through a MyHydro profile.

Torr said a quick call to BC Hydro confirmed his account was in good standing.

But he has, nonetheless, made use of the customer-service number provided by the caller who tried to dupe him:

“I’ve contacted them three times now, explaining what I thought… about them, what I hope’s going to happen to them,” he said.

Scott said in addition to contacting BC Hydro, customers who receive a fraudulent call should report it to their local police, as well as the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (1-888-495-8501).

BullyingBullying happens when there is an imbalance of power; where someone purposely and repeatedly says or does hurtful things to someone else. Bullying can occur one on one or in a group(s) of people. Th ere are many diff erent forms of bullying:◼ Physical bullying (using your body or objects to cause harm): includes hitting, punching, kicking, spitting or breaking someone else’s belongings.◼ Verbal bullying (using words to hurt someone): includes name calling, put-downs, threats and teasing.◼ Social bullying (using your friends and relationships to hurt someone): includes spreading rumours, gossiping, excluding others from a group or making others look foolish or unintelligent. Th is form of bullying is most common among girls (Canadian Children’s Rights Council).

CyberbullyingCyberbullying involves the use of communication technologies such as the Internet, social networking sites, websites, email, text messaging and instant messaging to repeatedly intimidate or harass others.Cyberbullying includes:• Sending mean or threatening emails or

text/instant messages.• Posting embarrassing photos of

someone online.• Creating a website to make

fun of others.• Pretending to be someone

by using their name.• Tricking someone into

revealing personal or embarrassing information and sending it to others.

Cyberbullying aff ects victims in diff erent ways than traditional bullying. It can follow a victim everywhere 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from school, to the mall and all the way into the comfort of their home - usually safe from traditional forms of bullying.

Bullying and the LawBullying can be a traumatic experience, and some forms of bullying can even be considered illegal.Th ese include:• Th reats - whether done face to face, online, over the phone or through text messaging.• Assaults - including pushing, tripping, slapping, hitting or spitting.• Th eft of personal items - like a backpack,

books, electronic devices, etc.• Harassment - repeated tormenting online, with texts, phone calls and/or emails.• Sexual Exploitation - sharing videos or photos with nudity of people under 18.• Hate crime - bullying based on ethnicity, sexual

orientation, religious beliefs, etc.

For all of these criminal off ences, it is important to notify your local police detachment or report it to CYBERTIP.CA. Based on the available information, police will decide if an investigation is warranted and whether charges may be laid.

When Your Child is the BullyMany parents are able to recognize when our children are being bullied,

but what about when your child is the bully? Many parents struggle with the guilt and shame they feel when their

child is associated with bullying; what it says about them as adults and as parents.

Acknowledging that your child is bullying is difficult, but it is the first and most important step towards remedying the behaviour.

Have a real conversation with your child; be clear about your expecta-tions and the consequences. Remember, children don’t just wake up one day and decide to bully someone; something has happened along the way and has gone unnoticed.

It is imperative that you protect the victim and make it clear that the behaviour is criminal. As parents, it is our responsibility to ask questions and seek help when we don’t know.

Reach out to your school principal, likely they can guide you to someone who can help. Bullying is a learned behaviour, it can be unlearned.

perspectives…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Sarah MassahStaff Reporter

Members of Surrey’s Heritage Services are hoping to plant a

seed that will lead to a growing tradition at the Historic Stewart Farm.

Publicist – and avid gardner – Dani Brown and farm curator Jerrilin Spence are looking for volunteers to roll up their sleeves and go back in time with the heritage gardens adjacent to the iconic farm house, located at 13723 Crescent Rd.

Vegetables, herbs, flowers and other plants that thrive in the garden beds during the spring and summer can all be dated back to the days when the pioneering Stewarts built the home alongside the Nicomekl River in the 1890s.

“Mr. Stewart was a hay farmer, but they still grew all of their own food,” Spence said, noting the Stewarts won prizes at fairs

for their scarlet runner beans and white carrots, among other produce. “Everything we grow would have been available to Mrs. Stewart in the 1890s to 1910 range.”

All that is grown in the gardens are heirloom varieties, and volunteers use techniques that the Stewarts would have used, which means no pesticides, Spence said.

In order to select what would initially be planted in the garden beds, about 25 volunteers researched the tools used, as well as flower and vegetable varieties, Brown – who was one of the aforementioned volunteers – said.

“It was a bit like being a detective,” she said, noting that a typical Victorian garden, which many associate with the time period, would be out of place in rural Surrey. “They had no time

to do fancy gardens. It would have been very practical because they had to feed themselves.”

Brown noted that the volunteers had very little records to go on when selecting items for the garden, and those that they

did find in heritage gardening books had become increasingly difficult to locate and purchase.

“Many old varieties are either gone or have become very, very rare,” she said.

But with time and some studying, the

garden, which celebrated its 20th anniversary last year, is now full of history, Brown said, which has also inspired her at her personal garden.

She noted that with the new variety of tomatoes – which are often hybrid species – it is not possible to harvest and grow the

seeds. But by looking through catalogues and even online, it’s possible to find heritage seeds – and the stories behind them.

Brown recalled a variety of lettuce – called Grandpa Admire lettuce – which was named after civil-war veteran George Admire, which can still be found in garden beds, as well as a variety of bean that was carried over by the Cherokees during their march on the Trail of Tears.

“I can’t grow (vegetables) without thinking of those stories,” Brown said. “It creates a level of romance with heritage.”

Many of the things grown in the plant beds – and out in the apple orchard, which features more than 30 varieties of apples – are used throughout the farm’s many programs. Spence noted that the team pickles radishes, makes kale chips, uses the rhubarb for desserts and the pumpkins for the timeless pumpkin pie.

“Food is a neat way to connect

with history,” Spence said. “You’re basically eating something that someone 100 years ago would eat. Food hasn’t changed that much, as much as technology has changed.”

Now, Brown and Spence are hoping to share their passion for the garden with others in the community – including the younger generation.

“Many hands make light work,” Brown said.

Spence added that while there are obvious benefits to working in the garden – including seeing hard work come to fruition – it’s a great way to meet friends.

“Volunteers really enjoy it. They feel needed and welcomed and develop these meaningful relationships,” she said,

Volunteers must have good basic gardening knowledge. Full training will be provided. Contact 604-502-6461 or email [email protected] for more information or to sign up.

Fundraising total likely to increase as late pledges tallied

Coldest Night raises $51K

lifestyles

Nick GreenizanStaff Reporter

The weather was good, and the turnout was even better for White Rock’s Coldest Night of the Year fundraising walk.

Held Saturday and hosted by Sources Community Services, the annual event – in which participants walk a two-, five- or 10-km route – saw between 300 and 400 people take part.

While the final numbers were still being tallied, more than $51,000 has been raised so far. Organizers expect that number to end up north of $60,000, still shy of Sources’ original goal of $80,000.

Money raised goes to combat homelessness.

Last year, the walk raised $45,000, but organizers were aiming for far more this year after the organization lost $200,000 in government funding last month for its homelessness-prevention programs in Newton.

Sources’ executive director David Young noted that though the event is over, donations can be made online until April 10.

“We had quite a few (last-minute) donations,” Young explained. “It was a beautiful night, and we had a lot of people come out.”

One of the biggest pledges Saturday came from the

Kwantlen Student Association. The organization entered two teams into the walk, and donated $5,000. As well, a dozen members of the association served as event volunteers.

The Ministry of Social Development and Innovation also took part in the event, raising $3,000, Young added.

“We were really thrilled to have them come out and take

part,” he said.The event was held in 65

communities across Canada – including Cloverdale and Whalley – and Young said White Rock is 17th in fundraising Canada-wide. More than $2.8 million was raised across the country, in total.

businessAthletic opening

Semiahmoo Athletic Club celebrated its grand opening in White Rock Sunday (Feb. 22), with a free community workout.

Owners Joe and Sharan Scali opened the club at 15165 Russell Ave. last month, and say they are aiming “to deliver the best fitness experience in the world” – specializing in supervised training, including CrossFit, personal training, team training, nutritional coaching and custom programming.

Sharan Scali grew up in White Rock, and said her entrepreneurial drive was inspired by her parents, who own the Red Rooster

convenience store, located on Stayte Road. Her passion for health led to certification as an advanced sports and nutrition advisor, and qualifying at the provincial level of CrossFit competition.

Joe Scali has a hockey background, including two years at the professional level in Texas. In CrossFit, his experience includes competition at the regional level and finishing 77th at the world level.

Special guests Sunday included White Rock Mayor Wayne

Baldwin and Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg.

For more information on Semiahmoo Athletic Club, visit www.

Free pancakesFor one day next month, IHOP customers

across the country will be eating pancakes for a good cause.

In honour of National Pancake Day next month, IHOP restaurants – including the South Surrey location, at 2429 152 St. – will offer guests a free short stack of buttermilk pancakes on Tuesday, March 3, in the hopes that they will make a donation to the Children’s Miracle Network.

This is the second year that Canadian IHOP restaurants have taken part in the initiative.

Age-related vision changesAge-related vision changesMost changes in vision occur in the early and later years of life. Although some people may discover they have nearsightedness -- or diffi culty seeing at a distance -- as late as their mid-20s, vision typically stabilizes during the late teen years. From then until around age 40, vision typically changes little, if at all.Presbyopia - Age-related loss of close-up vision At about 40 years of age, seeing to read or do close work such as sewing may become diffi cult. This is known as “presbyopia.” Presbyopia, a name that comes from the Greek words for “old eye,” occurs because the crystalline lens, an essential component of the eye’s refractive, or light-bending structure, loses fl exibility as it grows thicker with age.

This lack of fl exibility affects the ability to focus on close objects.Generally, by around age 45, reading glasses may be required for nearby tasks. If near- or farsightedness is also present, a number of vision correction options will be evaluated to best meet your needs.Spots and fl oaters People of every age may at times see spots and fl oaters, which appear to look like specks of material, cobwebs, thread-like strands or showers of brilliant crystals. During the middle years of life, they may become more frequent. These are optical defects that occur, as the vitreous, the jelly-like body in the main globe of the eye, becomes less jelly-like and more liquid as time goes by. This change is not always uniform, and so the mixture of jelly-like and liquid materials can affect the passage of light to the retina.The result is seen as ‘fl oaters.’ Although spots and fl oaters are typically not of concern, they should be evaluated promptly. If you suddenly experience a large number of fl oaters, don’t delay in making an appointment. Glaucoma For adults, it is important to schedule regular eye examinations in order to detect and treat any occurrence of glaucoma in its earliest stages. Most types of glaucoma occur without the presence of any symptoms and can only be detected during a routine eye examination. Glaucoma occurs when fl uid pressure inside the eye rises, cutting off the blood supply in the very small arteries carrying food and oxygen to the retina and causing loss of side vision or blindness if left untreated. It is a condition that can be arrested or slowed down but not reversed, so early detection is Although natural vision changes can’t be prevented, they need not mean giving up activities such as driving your car. By practicing good health habits and having regular eye examinations, you should be able to continue an active, productive and independent life.

Envision Financial is offer-ing aspiring students a share of $27,000 in education awards.

For the 19th year in a row, Envi-sion is inviting secondary and post-secondary students to apply for one of 11 awards of $2,000 each, to be presented to students who demonstrate outstanding school and community involve-ment.

The competition is open to stu-dents who are members of Envi-sion Financial or the dependent of an Envision Financial member.

“At Envision Financial, we rec-ognize the importance of con-tinuing education and we know that for many young people, attending post-secondary school can be a pipe dream because of high tuition fees,” Susan Byrom, senior manager of community investment at Envision Financial, said in a news release.

In addition, in recognition of Envision Financial’s The Full Cupboard program, two educa-tion awards of $2,500 each will be offered to secondary and post-

secondary students who volunteer with their local food bank. These awards are open to students who have demonstrated outstanding community volunteerism with their local food bank in commu-nities where Envision Financial operates, including South Surrey.

Award applications, and quali-fying criteria, are available at any Envision Financial branch or may be downloaded at www.envi-sionfinancial.ca. The deadline to apply is March 31.

THIS IS THE LIFE

Erin McDonald photoFor the second year in a row, Peninsula Retirement Residence is hosting its popular Meet ‘n’ Match series of social events.

Nick GreenizanStaff Reporter

Fellowship and good conversation will be in abundance over the next few weeks at the Peninsula

Retirement Residence, as the retirement community hosts its second annual Meet ‘n’ Match event.

The series – which held its first session last Wednesday, with three more planned for the coming weeks – aims to get seniors out into the community where they can meet other people, and perhaps even form lasting friendships.

Feelings of isolation and loneliness can be fairly common among seniors – especially those who may not have family that lives nearby – and social outings like the Meet ‘n’ Match aim to combat such things.

“Many seniors have mobility issues, or maybe they just don’t get out as much as they used to, and they can end up being fairly isolated,” said Jennifer Nelson, a retirement counsellor at the Peninsula.

Niels’ Story: How Cold Laser Therapy helped my mom regain mobility in her arthritic hands

before March 10th

3268 King George Blvd. 604 385 3358 [email protected] www.solaj.ca

Being in my late 50s, I’ve seen my fair share of “can’t miss” investment tips, overhyped technologies and way too many promises of miracle cures for this or that. So call me a skeptic.

However, sometimes science & engineering do bring us a technology that is truly remarkable with a profound impact on some part of our life. There have been quite a few breakthroughs in health care. But most of the better known involve drugs or surgery. However, as I found out a little while ago, there’s a remarkable new treatment option available for a variety of conditions that involves neither drugs nor surgery.

Two years ago my wife, Maria, and I were having dinner with my friend and business partner, Louba, and her daughter Melanie, a bright young chiropractor who had been practicing for a few years since obtaining her doctorate of chiropractic. At one point in the conversation she mentioned a new treatment called “Cold Laser Therapy.” She said that it worked really well for accelerating the healing process for muscle tears, tendonitis and also for post surgical healing. That all sounded very interesting as a mental note, if I ever needed such a procedure.

But when she mentioned that Cold Laser Therapy had seen remarkable success in the treatment of arthritis, I asked “really?” I was rather skeptical, because my mom has been suffering from osteoarthritis in an increasingly bad way for many years. People familiar with the condition know all too well, there’s no known cure for the condition, just some ways of ghting the symptoms. To illustrate: Her hands would hurt so much that she took to changing the bedsheets over 3 days. One day to change the pillowcases, another day to change the sheets and a 3rd day to change the duvet cover.

Doctor Mel continued, “yes, this therapy has a remarkable success rate.” Being a health care provider, she knows that nothing in health care is ever 100%, but anything that can really help 4 out of every 5 people is truly remarkable.

So the next day, I called my mom in Ontario on Skype (another fabulous invention), told her about “Cold Laser Therapy” and asked her to nd a clinic in her neighbourhood who provided such treatment. Over the years my mom had tried many different treatments for her arthritis, most didn’t work, or the side effects were too negative. She was naturally a little

hesitant. But when I asked her to do this as a favour to me, I think her motherly instincts took over and she agreed.

After about 6 treatments over 3 weeks, she was very excited. “Look! I’ve got my hands back!” waving her hands to the computer camera, so I could see them. She showed me how much the range of motion in her hands had improved, and how the swelling in the joints of her hand had gone down.

Why am I telling this story? Because I can’t believe that Cold Laser Therapy isn’t better known and I think it really should be. And for some people, its bene ts can amount to a life changing event enabling them to return to improved mobility and eliminated or reduced pain.

That dinner resulted in a partnership and a clinic providing Cold Laser Therapy, encouraged by my mom’s and others’ experiences plus other research. Sure, we’d love to be your Cold Laser Therapy clinic of choice. But that’s not the most important point of my story. What’s most important is that this remarkable treatment exists and is truly worth learning about.

Niels’ mom on Skype: “I’ve got my hands back!”

Cold Laser Therapy: Game Changer for Arthritis?Cold Laser Therapy is an innovative treatment for a variety of acute and chronic – often painful – conditions.Osteoarthritis is generally caused by progressive wear and tear on our joints that results in the breakdown of our joint cartilage. When cartilage breaks down, the bones start to grind against each other, creating in ammation in the joint. These changes are what cause you to experience painful symptoms. The degenerative process itself may not be painful, however the resulting in ammation and irritation to surrounding muscles, ligaments and tendons usually cause you to experience uncomfortable and sometimes debilitating symptoms.

How does Cold Laser Therapy help Osteoarthritis?Cold Laser Therapy breaks the cycle of degenerating cartilage by delivering light-based energy to cells of tissues that have been affected by osteoarthritis and are not healing fast enough, or at all. This energy stimulates speci c chemical reactions in the cell to quickly speed up the healing process, resulting in reduced in ammation and the elimination of pain.

The light energy delivered by Cold Laser Therapy helps the cells to naturally overcome and stop in ammation. This reduces the typical arthritis pain, often after relatively few treatments. More importantly, this also allows the cells to undertake the next phase of repair and healing. Especially the infrared light energy activates and promotes the natural cartilage growth process by increasing the production of cellular energy (ATP). It also stimulates the bone cells to replicate and produce new healthy bone tissue. And it increases the ability of blood cells to deliver oxygen and nutrients required for healing of the affected cells.

How Does Cold Laser Therapy Work?T h e B i o e x C o l d Laser Therapy system i s a t h r e e s t e p process, each using a different wavelength of light. The rst step uses a red light pad at 660nm, which gets absorbed by the cells o f t h e s k i n a n d underlying super cial layers of muscle. The second step uses an infrared light pad at 830nm, reaching deeper into the muscle layers, as well as the tendons and ligaments. The third step includes an infrared laser wand at 840nm that is placed speci cally on the affected areas by a

trained laser therapist. T h i s l i g h t i s v e r y concentrated and targets the deepest affected structures, stimulating healing in and around a f f e c t e d l i g a m e n t s , cartilage, joints, and even bone.

Cold Laser Therapy is also referred to as:• Low Intensity Laser Therapy (LILT)• Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)• Near-infrared irradiation

year, we just thought it would be a great way to get people together.”

A shuttle bus from the retirement residence picks up and drops off seniors from the community, which insures that everyone has a chance to take part, regardless of mobility issues or other travel-related hurdles.

Last year’s one-day Meet ‘n’ Match saw 24 seniors – half from the Peninsula Retirement Residence, and half from the community – come together in something of a speed-dating format, whereby two people are matched up, and have a limited amount of time – in this case, seven minutes – to discuss a given topic.

Every few minutes, the pairs are switched, and the conversations continue.

At the end, a social period is held, where participants are able to reconnect with those they felt a connection with, and perhaps exchange phone numbers.

Last year, a few permanent friendships were made, Nelson said.

In fact, last year’s event was such a success that this year the series has been expanded to four days, with 20 seniors taking part in each. In addition to the Feb. 18 opener, the Meet ‘n’ Match will also be held March 4, 18 and April 1.

And while the event is an excellent way for seniors who live

on their own to get out of the house, Nelson said the residents at the Peninsula get a kick out of it, as well.

“The residents here just love it. The people here are all so welcoming. If I’m showing some (potential) residents around our facilities, they’re always so quick to come up and say hello.

“They love new faces, and really

enjoy being the hosts (of the Meet ‘n’ Match).”

Each session will have a theme,

with participants encouraged to discuss a given topic. Being that the first session was held

just days after Valentine’s Day, the topic was relationships – all relationships, not only of the romantic variety.

“One topic, for example, was ‘What is one thing that you and your best friend got away with when you were a kid?’” Nelson said.

Themes for future sessions include childhood, events of life and one called ‘decade by decade,’ where seniors will discuss their life in 10-year increments.

“It’s sometimes hard, when you’re 80 years old, to break down your entire life and put together some kind of biography,” Nelson said.

“But when you break it down into decades – ‘What happened to you in your 20s, or in your 30s?’ it becomes easier to remember those details.”

The transition from stranger to friend is fairly seamless, Nelson said, pointing out that participants are fairly enthusiastic about jumping right into the topic at hand.

“There’s very little awkwardness after initial introductions. With seniors, they’ve had a lot of experience in social situations, and they have a lot of (life experience), so they’re very good at talking with each other,” she said.

“It really turned out well, and what we found was that the event and the conversations were quite meaningful to people.”

THIS IS THE LIFE


sports…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Rick KupchukSports Reporter

With an eight-point lead atop the Western Hockey League’s

scoring race, Trevor Cox is the frontrunner to win the Bob Clarke Trophy.

Not that the 19-year-old South Surrey native is too concerned about it.

With 23 goals and a league-best 71 assists in 57 games played, Cox cares more about the team standings and individual accomplishments, and insists he’s just doing his best to help the Medicine Hat Tigers stay atop the WHL’s Central Division.

“I think about it for a bit, but not too much,” said Cox. “It’s more important the team wins.”

The Tigers are four points up on the Calgary Hitmen with 13 games remaining in the regular season. And with the Hitmen holding two games in hand, the race for the division crown will likely go down to the final few games.

But Cox has a much healthier lead in the scoring race, as his 94 points are well ahead of runner-up and linemate Cole Sanford.

“Obviously, it would be nice to win it,” said Cox, of the scoring title. “But if you think about it too much, you put yourself under more pressure and more stress. It’s more important we maintain first place, then do well in the playoffs. Everyone wants to win the Memorial Cup.”

It was a dream Cox didn’t have four years ago. Not claimed in the WHL Bantam Draft following his final season playing with Semiahmoo Minor Hockey

Association, Cox played one season with the BC Major Midget League’s Valley West Hawks. He originally had set his sights on playing Junior ‘A’ hockey with the Surrey Eagles and pursuing a university scholarship south of the border.

“My uncle Mark (Taylor) went to the University of North Dakota and on to the NHL (National Hockey League). So I always thought I’d go that way,” said Cox.

“But John Batchelor, a coach at the Burnaby Winter Club (and a Tigers scout), recruited me to Medicine Hat. He told their staff

to list me, and I ended up going to their camp.”

Now in his fourth season with the Tigers, Cox has improved on his numbers each year. He tallied 10 times in his rookie campaign, then scored 16 goals in his second. Last year, his third in the league, he scored 25 goals and 82 points, good enough to crack the top 20

scorers but still 36 points shy of the league lead.

Now just six points away from the 100-point mark, he’s enjoying his best season as a Tiger.

“If you said before the season started that I would be leading the scoring race, I wouldn’t have believed you,” he said.

“Not a lot has changed, it’s just I’m a year older and more experienced. And I’ve played on a line with Cole Sanford for three years. He’s leading the league in goal scoring, so it’s pretty easy for me. I just pass the puck to him.”

the Brandon Wheat Kings. It will be the first game in 11 days for Cox, who was suspended three games after a Feb. 14 game in Medicine Hat in which he was assessed a penalty for boarding Calgary Hitmen captain Kenton Helgesen.

“It was an awkward play. He was off-balance a bit when I hit him,” said Cox. “I got a minor penalty on the play, but he was injured. And when someone gets injured on a play like that, there’s usually a suspension.”

Undrafted in the NHL Entry Draft last spring, the knock against Cox may be his size. At five-foot-eight and 164 pounds, he isn’t among the biggest players in the game. But he has playmaking skills, and

his speed on skates is a trait shared with his great-grandfather – Fred “Cyclone” Taylor – a member of the 1915 Stanley Cup champion Vancouver Millionaires and a man who remains “a huge role model in the family.”

“I don’t worry about my size, I just know I’m a good player,” Cox said. “It doesn’t bother me. I just go out and play, and I’m putting up good numbers.”

Valley West connectionsCox isn’t the only Peninsula hockey

product who is plying his trade in southern Alberta.

South Surrey’s Matt Bradley – like Cox, a Valley West Hawks alum – is

a teammate of Cox’s in Medicine Hat, playing his first full season with the WHL club. And rounding out the Valley West connection is former Hawks’ defenceman Kyle Burroughs, a 19-year-old Langley native and former Regina Pats captain who was acquired by the Tigers before the trade deadline.

Cox, who just turned 18 last month, has impressed in his freshman campaign, scoring 13 goals and totalling 36 points in 59 games.

Last year, he got a taste of the major-junior hockey circuit when he suited up for 17 Tigers’ playoff games.

Burroughs – a New York Islanders draft pick – has 13 points in 17 games since joining the team.

John Warren Porteous passed away peacefully surrounded by family at Peace Arch Hospital on February 7th.John was predeceased by his parents Major H.A. Porteous and Winnifred, partner Lew (2010), his former wife Marian (2014) and a son in (1955). He is survived by his brother David (Barbara), his sister Patricia, children, Robin, Wyckham, Kitty, Simon and Alastair, three grandchildren Paisley, John and Jorah and his great grandchild Hunter as well as numerous nieces and nephews both in Canada and England.John was born in Penticton, and spent the fi rst years of his life in Oliver, B.C., where his father had come to settle after the First War, soon the family was off to Vernon and then Ottawa where his father worked for the army during the Second World. This established a pattern of travel that would continue for his life.After high school John left for Europe in 1947 and spent the next years travelling by bicycle throughout the continent, studying and exploring what the world had to offer. The sudden death of his mother forced a return to North America where he began his formal studies and married Marian Miller of Penticton. They moved to Cleveland, Ohio where John worked in fi nance and the fi rst of their children Robin was born.The family moved to Victoria where fi ve more children followed. While in Victoria John worked for St. Joseph’s Hospital was elected to the Victoria School Board and served as Chairman for many years. A move to White Rock followed where he took the position as Financial Director at Peace Arch Hospital, with his fi nal working career at Mount Saint Joseph’s Hospital in Vancouver. It was during this time that he came out as a Gay man, a diffi cult and painful decision for the family but one that made all our lives richer.John travelled all over the world in retirement, crossing oceans and continents as often as he could. His life with his partner Lew was fi lled with friends and travel.John had many friends all over the world but his greatest love was Majorca where he spent many months a year during his later life and will be missed by his good friend Pepe.A service of will be held Thursday, February 26th at 3:00 p.m. at the Church of the Holy Trinity , 15115 Roper Avenue, White Rock.A special mention must be made of his eldest daughter Robin who through her care made the last years of his life comfortable and loving.

PORTEOUS, John WarrenDecember 22, 1925 - February 7, 2015

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Theonilla (Theo) Miller (nee Bachmeier) on February 16. She will be lovingly missed by her entire family; 9 children, Sharon (Edward) Arnold, Michael (Beverley) Miller, John (Dee) Miller, Gwendalyn (Dennis Brothen) Miller, Gregory (Patsy) Miller, Marie (John) Hoare, Richard (Kathy) Miller, Mark (Eleanor) Miller, Leonard (Dorothy) Miller; 29 grandchildren, 31 great-

grandchildren, 2 surviving sisters and vast extended family. She will always be remembered as the beloved matriarch who embodied faith and family. Theo was an elegant lady; full of class, grace, style and a fondness for hats. Theo was a passionate gardener, well known for her green thumb and willingness to share her amazing gardening talents.

She was born in the German community of Karamurat, Romania. As a 7 year old, Theo immigrated with her family to Canada, fi rst settling in Saskatchewan and then moving to Richmond, B.C. In 1941, Theo married the love of her life, her late husband, Michael (Mike) Joseph Miller. Together they built their home in Richmond where they proceeded to establish a thriving business (Miller Cartage & Contracting Ltd.) while raising 9 children. Mike and Theo were instrumental in forming the Navy League Cadet Program (MJ Miller 78). Despite their busy lives, Theo and Mike took special time for each other in Hawaii by making it their second home for over 40 years.

As gracious hosts, Theo and Mike’s home was always open to family and friends. In 1980, they retired to White Rock where they became active members of the Star of the Sea Parish. In 2012, Theonilla Miller was a recipient of the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal in honour of her signifi cant contributions to her church. While continuing to generously support their entire community; faith, song, celebration and love were the hallmarks of their lives.

Not a day will pass where Theo won’t be missed and not a moment will pass where she won’t continue to be loved.

The family is grateful to Dr. Antonio Benitez-Gomez for his steadfast medical care as well as the staff at Whitecliff Retirement Living for tending to Theo’s needs during her fi nal months. Visitations will be held at Kearney Funeral Home (219 6th Street, New Westminster) on Monday, February 23 from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. Visitation will also be held at Good Shepherd Church (2250 - 150 Street, Surrey) in the Fireside Room, Saturday, February 28 at 9:30 a.m. The Funeral Mass will be held at Good Shepherd Church on Saturday, February 28 at 10:30 a.m. with a reception to follow in the atrium of the church.
