Surrey mayor: ‘I don’t know what’s around the corner’
Dianne Watts says no to fourth term Surrey poll tests name recognition
Kevin Diakiw Black Press
Looking as relaxed as she has in years, Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts sat in the meditation room of her Cloverdale home and said what many predicted, but none have been able to confirm until now. “I’m not running for mayor this fall,” Watts told Black Press in a oneon-one interview Thursday, prior to making a formal announcement Saturday at the grand opening of the new city hall. Her reason for leaving, she said, is simple – from the time she was elected mayor in 2005, she has made it clear she would serve no longer than three terms, and is coming to the end of that self-imposed limit. As to where she’ll be going next, she insists she’s unsure. “I don’t know what’s around the corner,” she says. “It’s just a new chapter. I find that settling.” The room she sits in was once a home office where she burned the midnight oil on civic business. It’s now been stripped of the desk; the only piece of furniture remaining is a large meditation chair. Buddha statues line the shelves and the walls are home to Tibetan mandalas and quotes from Einstein and Zen Master Tich Nhat Hanh. Watts says several political opportunities lie before her, but she’s not ready to jump at any of them. i see page 2

Dianne Watts speaks publicly about leaving the mayoralty, Saturday at the official opening of the new city hall.
Surrey Coun. Barinder Rasode has some of the highest name recognition going into this year’s election, according to a poll released Monday. Vancouver polling firm Insights West released results of a study conducted between March 21 and March 23 among 507 Surrey residents over 18 years old. The poll asked residents how familiar they were with potential mayoral candidates, Couns. Barinder Rasode, Tom Gill, Bruce Hayne and Linda Hepner. According to the poll results, Rasode leads the group with seven per cent of respondents saying they were “very familiar” with her. She was followed by Gill at six per cent, Hepner (five per cent) and Hayne (three per cent). However, when the responses of “very familiar” and “somewhat familiar” are grouped, Hepner leads the pack at 30 per cent, followed by Rasode and Gill both at 28 per cent and Hayne trailing at 16 per cent. Those are the kinds of numbers the Surrey First team will be looking at as they gather to decide i see page 4
49-year-old driver ‘well aware’ he was speeding through intersection of last year’s fatal crash
Ministry alerted as boy found in 181 km/h Ferrari Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A driver received a hefty fine Aug. 19 for travelling through South Surrey at more than 100 km/h over the posted speed limit. But the Langley man may have more to worry about than the $483-fine and the fact his 2005 Ferrari F430 was impounded. RCMP ‘E’ Division spokesman Cpl. Robert McDonald said Thursday that police have also alerted officials with the Ministry of Children and Family Development to the incident, as a 10-year-old boy was discovered in the car.

“We’ve been in touch with them; they’re aware of the situation,” McDonald told Peace Arch News. The 49-year-old driver, whose name has not been released, was clocked at 181 km/h as he travelled south on 176 Street at 32 Avenue – where the posted speed limit is 80 km/h. McDonald said officers were taken aback when they saw a child in the vehicle. “I don’t know how someone could put a child at risk like that,” he said. The car had apparently been purchased just two days prior to the offence. The driver

told police he was “just testing it.” Pulled over without incident, the driver was issued a $483-fine – the highest possible fine for speeding – under the Motor Vehicle Act. According to ICBC’s website, he may also have to pay a driver-risk premium; charged to drivers who meet criteria such as having an excessive-speeding conviction. McDonald said the driver was “well aware” the intersection he raced through was the scene of a horrific accident last year, in which five members of a Newton family were killed. i see page 4

City manager disagrees, expressing optimism for resolution
White Rock union talks ‘did not go well’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Dan Bottrill city manager
Unionized City of White Rock workers are saying, once again, that strike action is imminent. Mike Guraliuk, president of the union representing city workers, said Monday that the latest talks with the employer – held Friday, Saturday and Sunday – “did not go well at all.” “The employer showed very little interest in addressing our issues, so tonight we’ve got a membership meet-
ing and we expect to move toward job action shortly.” But city officials say they remain optimistic the two groups’ differences can be resolved. “I guess it’s a difference of opinion,” city manager Dan Bottrill said. “We’re hoping to see both sides be able to meet and come to some sort of resolution on some of these items. We understand that sometimes it doesn’t go smoothly.” Guraliuk said the union is in a position to give the city 72-hours strike
notice. Two weeks ago, he predicted action would be taken within days. The membership voted 94 per cent in favour of strike action in February, and had been gearing up to put it in motion just before last weekend’s talks were arranged. Letters sent to White Rock residents and businesses – that also arrived in some South Surrey mailboxes – describe key issues as clear hours of work, fair treatment for casual and parttime employees and protection to workers who become seriously ill.
Bottrill said the city is prepared for job action but is hopeful “that the parties will continue to get together and negotiate an agreement that we’re both satisfied with.” Should a strike come to fruition, Bottrill said most of the gaps created will be filled by exempt workers. The unionized employees – with posts at city hall, leisure services, engineering and public works and RCMP support staff – have been without a contract since Dec. 31, 2011.
Langley investigation
Drug-lab warrant spreads west Alex Browne Staff Reporter
A Surrey RCMP investigation into a possible clandestine drug lab in Langley last week spilled over into South Surrey. Officers wearing masks, gloves and other gear to protect themselves from hazardous materials were seen removing large bags from a unit at Sunnyside Storage, 15553 24 Ave., at around 9 a.m. Friday. A witness said the bags were placed on a tarp surrounded by yellow tape, before being removed by a police vehicle. Reportedly, police cars had been at the scene for most of the previous night. Surrey RCMP spokesman Cpl. Bert Paquet confirmed Friday that the seizure of items from the unit was related to the execution of a search warrant at a Langley house on Thursday. A 36-year-old Surrey man was arrested following the search of the house on 72 Avenue near 208 Street, which had been the subject of an RCMP investigation into a possible drug lab for a number of weeks. Traffic on 72 Avenue was shut down for several hours Thursday while a hazardous materials handling team cleaned up chemicals found in the older one-storey detached house. Following the execution of the Langley warrant, Surrey RCMP Sgt. Dale Carr said the house appeared to be the focus of “a large-scale operation.” On Friday, Paquet said “information and details” seized in Langley “led members to execute other search warrants,” including the South Surrey storage unit. No chemicals were found at the storage unit, he said “but a number of items were seized in connection with the investigation into the clandestine lab.” The suspect arrested Thursday was released, pending the approval of drug-related charges.

According to the victim’s uncle, Kody Butchko was stabbed in the chest and abdomen when he tried to intervene, then seven more times in the back when he bent down to pick up his shoes and leave.

Crime ‘is rarely a city’s top issue’ i from page 1 who will be their next mayoral candidate, according to Insights West vice-president Mario Canseco. The figures put Gill and Hepner in a deadlock for name recognition as they attempt to decide who is most electable. (The poll does not ask whether people are satisfied with the job the councillors are doing). While Gill is interested in the job as mayor, he told Black Press Sunday night he had reservations about the time commitment required and what it would mean for his young family. He said if he doesn’t run, he’ll support Hepner. Canseco noted the poll was conducted prior to Rasode leaving Surrey First, and that her numbers are likely to be higher this month.
Speed i from page 1 That devastating crash occurred on April 28, 2013. One week later, the 46-year-old Langley man who drove through a red light and hit the family’s vehicle died after undergoing surgery for a non-malignant brain tumour that was discovered in hospital. The Ferrari in this month’s incident was impounded seven days. McDonald said there is a note on the police file indicating the driver “apologized for the speed.” McDonald stressed such incidents occur far too often, and the message is always the same. “I keep saying every time we get something like that, you never know,” he said. “The person might think their ability to drive is better than others. My thing to this is, how about the others on the other side? It’s not just you, it’s everybody else that uses the roadway. “At 180 km/h, your chance of avoiding a collision is nil.”
“She’s been in the news more often now,” Canseco said. “She has been talking more, she has been speaking about why she left Surrey First, she’s been one of the most critical voices on the crime issue, which is the number-one issue facing the city.” In fact, Canseco said he’s rarely seen crime as top of mind as it is in Surrey. A poll conducted months ago had 51 per cent of people saying crime is their top issue, and the most recent survey has 49 per cent of respondents saying it’s their number one concern. “It’s huge, usually you don’t see anything in the 50s (percentile) unless something tragic happens,” Canseco said. “Back in 2008, the economy was the number one issue for 50 or 60 per cent of Canadians, but it was obvious why, we were just going
through this crisis. “Crime is very rarely more than 15 or 20 per cent in a survey,” he added. “To see it at 51, it really speaks about that there are people out there who are dissatisfied with the status quo…” The poll indicated 68 per cent of respondents are ready for change. Following crime as the top issue, are transportation (22 per cent), health care (7) and education (6). The poll shows people are satisfied with the work the city has done on parks, recreation and arts (66), development (56) and improving the image of Surrey (52). The city gets poor marks on transportation (24), homelessness (18) and crime and public safety (16). The survey of 507 residents is considered accurate within plus or minus 4.4 per cent, 19 times out of 20.

Vision still to be judged
E
ven before Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts went public last weekend with her decision not to seek a fourth term, much had been made of her popularity with voters. According to major-media pundits, for three terms Surrey residents have been nothing but entranced with the mayor and her vision of the city as an urban centre, rather than a suburban bedroom community. But her announcement, coinciding as it did with the official opening of the city’s new ‘$97-million’ city hall, only reinforces an impression, locally, that the end of an era has been reached. The paint hadn’t dried on this jewel of Surrey’s new city centre when some began sniping at the potential cost to taxpayers – as high as $150 million – particularly in light of other pressing needs, such as an improved RCMP presence and repairs to badly potholed roads. And while some were thrilled with Watts’ apparent about-face last year on the now-dead South Surrey casino project, others wondered why she let it go so far without criticism, and still more were wondering whether her deciding vote was misplaced. Cracks have already appeared, of course, in the unified front of Watts’ ‘non-party,’ Surrey First, with this month’s departure of Coun. Barinder Rasode to sit as an independent. Some of Rasode’s departing complaints have to do with transparency – that too much of the business of Surrey has been run out of the mayor’s office, rather than debated openly in council chambers. There have been others who have expressed disenchantment during Watts’ reign with what they have seen as a pro-development agenda, saying that the rampant building-out of areas have mocked Surrey’s theoretic commitment to green space. This isn’t to say Watts hadn’t had an incredibly successful run as mayor. She has, both as judged by many residents and business people, as well as by the above-mentioned pundits, who have given her that elusive elongated honeymoon period. But whoever follows in Watts’ footsteps should be forewarned: As planned phases of development begin to come to fruition, there is every indication the current approach to urbanization will be increasingly tested, as ordinary residents observe more rural land being swallowed by cookie-cutter subdivisions.

assigned to the Kamloops region to help deal with a pine beetle epidemic. Conventional wisdom on the latest outbreak holds that it spread so far because of a lack of cold winters, attributed to human carbon emissions. I grew up in northern B.C., and my last two visits to the Peace country were both in January. In 2004 I recall changing planes on the tarmac of Prince George airport, moving briskly in the daytime temperature near -40 C. That night, and subsequent nights, the mercury dropped to -50 C. In January 2013, I returned for some discussions on the Enbridge pipeline route, and experienced a relatively balmy -30 C in the daytime. So when I hear people talk about the end of cold winters in northern B.C. because of global warming, it’s difficult to square with personal experience. I can hear the rebuttals already. It takes long periods of extreme cold to kill the pine beetle. How long? Longer than those ones, of course. Similarly flexible theories are being advanced to explain the 17-year “pause” in Earth’s average surface temperature rise, the growing Antarctic ice sheet, and this past winter’s “polar vortex.” If anyone has substantial evidence that CO2 from human activity was the trigger mechanism for the latest beetle outbreak in B.C., I’d like to see it. But please, spare me the affirmations of quasi-religious faith that often pass for climate-change arguments today.

Expressionism Sharing stories at the beach life changing Editor: Re: Imagine if a resident did this, April 24 letters. Where were the tree huggers that day? Maybe we could make a positive out of this mess left after trees were trimmed by city contractors on the White Rock bluff. These could be “The Ruins on the Beach” and we could transport visitors to view our ‘art’ for generations to come. Marie Filuk, Surrey
The lookout for middle ground Editor: Re: Towers plan becomes hot topic, April 15. The article by Peace Arch News reporter Tracy Holmes quite accurately described a spirited faceoff between moneyed interests and White Rock residents, or morepeople-means-more-taxes versus local people who know the area, its needs and unique quality. Obviously, the developer is planning to go to great heights to preserve a stand of trees and gift it to the city – some carrot, some sticks – but will the development enhance the quality of life through more density and therefore more traffic? On the ‘rezoning’ side, the main points were generally: 1) that the city needs upgrading; and 2) that change is inevitable. On the ‘stick-to-the-OCP’ side: 1) the Peace Arch Hospital needs to be expanded now and more people means further expansion; and, 2) increased traffic on Oxford was of great concern Is there any middle ground? It is suggested that the land could be put to better use as a ‘halfway’ facility between a hospital and a care home, specifically to relieve the stress on Peace Arch Hospital, or as an extension to Evergreen Baptist Care Home or a similar operation. This would necessitate the city approaching the federal/provincial governments for adequate funding to buy the whole block and build an eight-storey – somewhat below tree height – amenity. If you don’t ask, you don’t get. So, how could we all win? • The owner of the property would get his money back, plus an incentive to sell. • The developer could shift gears by designing/building the structure with full payment upon the issue of the occupancy permit. • Peace Arch Hospital should be able to avoid overcrowding its passageways and get back to normal for a few more years. • Patients and seniors could enjoy bed/sitting rooms with a view. • There should be little increase in the traffic along Oxford Street. • Residents to the west would continue to see the present skyline. It is high time the dog wags the tail. Lex Henry, White Rock
Editor: Re: White Rock mom focusing on Lyme awareness, April 17. It is with gratitude that I write to you on behalf of Vancouver Lyme Awareness. We are a group of people with Lyme disease who wish to be heard by our government and to spread awareness to communities about the epidemic of vector-borne illness. Thank you for writing this and other articles about those afflicted with Lyme in this community, including Louise Roderick, Joyce Frydenlund-Collicut, Jane Frasca, Linda Steel and myself (A patient’s struggle, Aug. 29; Reliving their pain to shed light on Lyme, Nov. 12). Those suffering from Lyme disease and their families appreciate the support we have received through your articles and Peace Arch News, as this epidemic continues to spread throughout White Rock and all B.C. communities. I have spoken to many families with members afflicted by this disease after each newspaper article
and have been able to connect them to resources and support. You are helping us to save lives. Karen Marchand & Sharon Britz, Vancouver Lyme Awareness

Officer’s role to Safety worth caterwaul remain neutral the Editor: Editor: Re: Tory offensive over elections, April 15 letters. Letter-writer Ian Routledge is dead wrong when he suggests officers of Parliament, such as chief electoral officer Marc Maynard, should “debate” issues with parliamentarians. Maynard’s precise role is to enact the wishes of Parliament with complete neutrality. Maynard spent millions in the last election in a failed attempt to “get out the youth vote” – read Liberal/ NDP – and actively campaigned for such nonsense as allowing veiled Muslim women to vote. The left is outraged that some common sense is being introduced into Canadian elections to avoid election fraud. What sort of idiot does not have the wits to obtain any one of the 40 different forms of ID
As both National Pet Month and Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month end, why not consider humane changes here at home? For starters, society might procure an appreciation for all cats – most notably the always homeless, if they were not in such great number. They should be collected and spayed or neutered. Perhaps their great reduction in number will then translate into proper appreciation, or at least respect as sentient life. Furthermore, city halls should order that pet cats be confined indoors when not on a torso-brace leash and accompanied by owners. Yes, pet cats likely will go through ‘outdoors withdrawal’ and cry a raucous by the front door. However, keeping them safe should make their finite whining worthwhile. Frank Sterle Jr., White Rock

NDP Leader Adrian Dix, flanked by farmer Jas Singh and MLAs Lana Popham and Bruce Ralston at news conference.
Agenda misses threatened farms Editor: Re: NDP tends farm fight in South Surrey, April 22. I’m thrilled to see NDP Leader Adrian Dix out touring B.C. and fighting for the Agricultural Land Reserve, something he’s been doing well for the past six months. And MLA Lana Popham (South Saanich), good on her. But the ALR is in the crisis that it is now because the support from the NDP has been most noticeably absent until Bill 24 was dropped onto the B.C. public. I’m the campaign director for the Farmland Defence League of BC and I live in this area. But I wasn’t invited to the NDP photo op; I’m not a New Democrat – or a member of any other political party – but worse, I ask the NDP tough questions. Where does the NDP stand on Site C Dam? One-third of the ALR sits in the Peace River Valley, which will be flooded and its prime farmland destroyed to produce electricity to sell to the United States, as B.C. doesn’t need the power Site C will produce. Where’s the NDP’s support for preserving that third of the ALR?
It is very possible that Site C is a bigger threat to the ALR and food security than Bill 24. But the NDP has been stunningly silent on Site C. What about Deltaport? For 10 years the NDP have pointedly ignored the cries for help of more than 50 groups that banded together under the Gateway 50 Citizens Network to fight the loss of thousands of acres of prime farmland and wildlife habitat to unnecessary highway and port expansion. In the last election campaign, then NDP critic Popham didn’t say a word about preserving the ALR in her party’s platform. Instead, she floated a platform almost identical to the BC Liberals. It’s wonderful that Popham and MLA Bruce Ralston (Surrey-Whalley) went to a lovely little volunteer foodbank farm in South Surrey to speak for the ALR, but that land isn’t actually threatened by Bill 24. It would be helpful if the NDP would fight for farmland that is actually threatened. Donna Passmore, White Rock

BC Hydro customers with old meters will still pay monthly
Meter-refusal fees trimmed Tom Fletcher Black Press
BC Hydro customers who refuse to part with their mechanical power meters will continue to pay $32.40 a month for manual meter readings, with a refund on the balance of the $35 they’ve been paying since December. The B.C. Utilities Commission ruled on BC Hydro’s smart meter opt-out fees Friday, after an order from the B.C. government required the regulator to approve fees covering all of BC Hydro’s costs. A $20-a-month charge will continue for BC Hydro customers who accept a digital meter with the radio transmission function turned off. The commission cut the one-time fee for disabling the meter radio to $22.60, far below BC Hydro’s proposed $100. Most of BC Hydro’s nearly two million customers now have fully functioning smart meters, which send daily readings to a collection network and signal when power goes out and comes back on. A few customers cling to theories that the meters present a health hazard, despite evidence that their signals are weaker than the natural background of radiofrequency signals even in remote areas. BC Hydro’s meter upgrade was exempted from review, but the commission ruled last year on

Commissioners rejected testimony from smart-meter opponents, noting that their spokesmen were unqualified and in most cases repeating false or exaggerated claims in order to sell solutions to the purported hazards. BC Hydro spent nearly $1 billion to upgrade its grid, forecasting savings from automatic meter reading to faster detection of out-
ages and elimination of power theft from meter bypasses. The commission also reduced fees for customers who move and request a radio-off meter at their new address. To switch from a mechanical meter to a radio-off meter will cost $77.60, reduced from the BC Hydro’s proposed $100. Going from one radio-off meter to another will cost $132.60, down from the proposed $155 that includes activating the meter in the former residence.

Lawn bowling is for all ages
W
ith more than 50 clubs in four geographic districts within the province, lawn bowling is one of the most established sports in British Columbia. No wonder. Its appeal defies nearly any age boundaries. As long as you are pliable and have the strength to roll a fourpound ball 40 yards on a flat surface, you’re in. The sport is not only well established in the province, it’s also been around White Rock for a long, long time. The White Rock Lawn Bowling Club has been in existence since 1935 and with a membership of approximately 130, is still going strong. “It’s actually really good exercise,” said WRLBC publicity co-chair Mike Beley. “When you think about it, you go down to the Steve Nash gym and the first thing the (fitness instructor) tells you to do is lunges. So if you play three games in a day, 10 ends per game, that’s like doing 100 lunges. “And being an outdoor activity, it’s like golfing – it’s a great way to spend time outside.” Its appeal is gaining popularity, in the Lower Mainland and beyond. Part of that is because of the aging
population, but Beley says it’s also because the sport is attracting younger people. “There’s a perception that only older people play it – and our club does have a lot of older members – but younger people are getting more interested in the sport, too,” said Beley. “The real competitive players, and people that win large tournaments across Canada and B.C. are in their 40s and 50s. So it’s not just for old folks.” In fact, defending Commonwealth Games champion Robert Weale of Wales won his first Commonwealth Games medal in the sport – a gold, no less – in 1986 (men’s fours), when he was just 23 years old. The WRLBC is one of two clubs in the Semiahmoo Peninsula community, along with Mann Park Lawn Bowling Club. The WRLBC has an artificial turf surface. Mann Park is a natural (grass) green. Speaking for the White Rock club, Beley said there is rarely a day without activity. “There are games going almost every day of the week, and formal ones at least three or four days a week. But people are there bowling all the time. There are a lot of (drop-in) tournaments, where if
you are there at a certain time, they will just make up the teams on the spot.” Beley said there is always opportunity for newcomers to join in. “We have a coach who will work with them to help train them and learn the game,” he said. “It’s hard for people to just step in on Day 1 and know everything, but we help them get off the ground and give them a sense of knowing the sport, the protocol, and everything. Then once they get comfortable with (the rules), it’s all about practice, and improving your game.” Most leagues start in the summer, so now is the perfect time for newcomers to get involved. “We encourage newcomers to come out in the spring,” said Beley. “Then we can set up a four- or five-day coaching session where they can learn about the game, and get comfortable before we start the leagues. “We will also set up certain games where every team has to have a novice player on it, which helps them learn.” For more information on the WRLBC, call the club at 604-536-2616, head coach Mary Wright, at 604-535-0048 or club president Roland Cook at 604560-0378.

Hope for Back Pain: Cold Laser Therapy
Cold 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 inflammation/swelling • Restored mobility Why Cold Laser? • Healing, not just masking of pain • Safe, drug free & no side effects • Avoid or delay the need for surgery • Accelerate and strengthen the body’s natural healing mechanisms The Concept Behind Cold Laser Therapy The healing power of light The 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 different 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 example, light has shown to be effective for treating many skin conditions including psoriasis and acne, depression and even tuberculosis before there were medications. Most people who suffer 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 bodies 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 supplements 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 inflammation from a problem or injury in an area of our body, the normal cellular processes slow down and our body has trouble healing as a result. Blood flow to these areas also gets interrupted, which restricts the ability of important nutrients to be delivered to the cells that need to heal. The science Scientific 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 accelSKIN (Epidermis) erate the body’s natural healing process at the cellular level. It targets SKIN (Dermis) Red Array injured cells, resulting in elimination and prevention of pain, reduction of FAT inflammation and swelling, and improved range of motion. Laser therapy Infrared Array does not just mask the pain, it actively stimulates healing to resolve musculoskeletal conditions for the long term. MUSCLE The Bioflex Cold Laser Therapy system is a three step process, each using Infrared a different wavelength of light which has been found to optimally stimuLaser late your body’s cells. The first step uses a red light pad at 660 nm, which gets absorbed by the cells of the skin and underlying superficial layers of BONE 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 specifically on the affected areas by a trained laser therapist. This light is very concentrated and targets the deepest affected structures, stimulating healing inside affected joints and even bone.
Ms. L. tries Cold Laser Therapy for her Back Pain Ms. L had suffered from back pain for months. It had started in her lower back, and slowly progressed to the surrounding area over the course of just a few months. Ms. L had been fairly active her entire life without many issues, and now relatively suddenly was unable to do many of the things she loved. Her biggest issue was, that she couldn’t sit for long periods of time, particularly on any soft surfaces. That had created a really negative impact on her everyday life, as sitting on the couch, in the car, or even visiting with family or friends became difficult or downright impossible. Even a dinner invitation, usually something to look forward to with joy, became something to dread, because having to sit through an entire meal, she knew her back would hurt a lot. Ms. L tried numerous conventional and alternative medical treatments, from pain medication and physiotherapy to massage and acupuncture. However none of these seemed to resolve her problem. She was attending yoga classes on a weekly basis, but was having a lot of difficulty with certain postures and stretches, and was understandably frustrated that her body kept being limited by her pain. However, Ms. L is also a very determined individual who doesn’t easily give up, even when some of the professionals she was seeing implied that there was no solution and she’d have to learn how to live with the pain as an unavoidable part of the physical aging process. So rather than accepting what she was told, she took matters into her own hand, conducting research into various treatments options available to help relieve back pains similar to hers, mainly from arthritis. After having read numerous articles about Cold Laser Therapy, Ms. L decided that this treatment was definitely worth giving a try, also since it was an alternative to painkillers or worse, resorting to surgery and it’s associated waiting times, risks and implications. So she called Solaj Wellness Centre in December of 2013 to book a Cold Laser Therapy assessment and upon being explained how it worked, decided to start her back treatments immediately. To her delight, Ms. L started noticing quite an improvement within the first few treatments. She specifically mentioned a weekend car trip between Langley and Squamish, when she realized, that she had barely any pain on that drive, or when getting in and out of the vehicle. This had become very unusual for her, as typically she had been in a great deal of discomfort during a drive of that duration. And what astounded her more is that she always struggled with getting herself in and out of her car, to the point where she thought that she might have to give up driving all together. Seeing this progress was quite a turning point for Ms. L. After a few more treatments, Ms. L started sleeping better and was consistently able to sit for longer periods of time. She continued to improve over the next several treatment sessions. Bit by bit, she was experiencing noticeable improvements in her daily life. Getting out of bed or standing up from a chair became easier. She could go for walks without much discomfort, and she could even do her housework without issues. After 14 treatment sessions, the pain in Ms. L’s back fully resolved and she was able to successfully conclude the treatments for her back. She was now able to sit through dinners with friends or take long car rides when she wanted or needed to. Her movements in yoga class greatly improved over the course of her treatments, and she continues to experience no back pain several months later.

Emma and Stan Rutledge are just one of the more than a dozen couples who call the Pacific Carlton home.
Anyone familiar with the Pacific Carlton retirement residence can aver that love knows no age limits. They have more than a dozen couples in the independentliving community. “The reason why we have so many couples, I think, is because it‘s a great transition (residence),” said Pacific Carlton manager Samantha Wright. “The emptynesters who have decided that a house is too much and can’t be bothered with a garden, or cooking, or cleaning, for that matter. They move into here, then they can enjoy a retirement lifestyle without the worry of maintaining a home.” While most of the current couples came to Pacific Carlton already involved, Samantha says there are a few that have been hit by Cupid’s arrow since moving in. “Oh yes, there are one or two that I can think of… of course, they live in separate apartments.” Finding love is a natural byproduct of socializing, so in that regard, it’s not surprising to hear that love blooms at Pacific Carlton. After all, the residence takes the social aspect of retirement very seriously. “We are cognizant of their needs and the fact that we offer that stimulation in retirement
living is attractive to people,” says Wright, adding that for some people, moving into Pacific Carlton is like a new lease on life. “When, for instance, a lone spouse, someone who has lost a spouse, moves here, you can see that revitalization, just because of the socialization encouraged. They start eating better, exercising better because of the classes we offer… just the stimulation through social settings, most people thrive in that kind of setting. “People can have their private time here, but there is also an abundance of social activity for them to take advantage of.” And it’s not a matter of staying in residence, either. Pacific Carlton has a bus to shuttle residents to the mall, or to the beach, or wherever they choose to go. Pacific Carlton is an 80-suite retirement residence. Rental units average 1,000 square feet – the largest of any retirement residence anywhere in the province. Every unit is equipped with at least one extra bedroom and a den, an in-suite washer and dryer, full kitchen and two bathrooms, as well as a patio or balcony. The monthly rental fee covers everything, including three meals a day (in communal dining area).

South Surrey DBC helps keep seniors’ minds sharp Maintaining a healthy mind is every bit as important as maintaining a healthy physical lifestyle. Card games are excellent forms of mental exercise and when it comes to the game of bridge, the South Surrey Duplicate Bridge Clubs have something going nearly every day of the week. The South Surrey DBC hosts a game every Monday night at Victory Memorial park (14831-28 ave.). Tuesday mornings (11 a.m.) the Peace Arch DBC plays host, at First United Church, 15385 Semiahmoo Ave., and the White Rock DBC holds a game every Wednesday evening in the Sunnyside Community Centre (1845-154 st.). But the most social of all the clubs is Thursday’s Duplicate Lite Club. The South Surrey Duplicate Lite Bridge Club is, as the title suggests, a less intense form of the game. Sure, when the cards fly it’s all business, but there’s plenty of pleasure to be had for experienced and novice players alike. “Duplicate bridge has a reputation of being very serious, with very strong players and that has stopped people like myself who are social bridge players just looking for some challenge,” said Diana Juliusson, a regular participant in Duplicate Lite Club. “The difference with Duplicate Lite is that they put the focus on learning. There are lots of different kinds of lessons, and there is a lot of mentoring. If you go in and feel kind of shaky about the game, they will put an (experienced) player to partner with you.
“Beyond that, they really put an emphasis on the social aspect. Introducing people, making up partnerships, and having parties – parties are always fun.” The ‘mother lode’ of duplicate lite bridge parties is approaching, as the annual Harrison Hot Springs retreat – Harrison Land Cruise 2014 – is set for Sept. 8-10. The package includes four sanctioned games; two lessons with Gold Life Master bridge player and author of more than 20 books on the game, Barbara Seagram; two nights’ accommodation; and six meals, as well as afternoon teas. The cost is $450 per person, double occupancy or $590 pp single; $25 early bird discount if registered by June 15 - and it’s open to any interested bridge players (no age restrictions). “We will take anyone who wants to come,” said Carroll Guichon, who, along with Juliusson, is a member of the retreat’s organizing committee. “Last year we had quite a few players in their 50s and even some in their 40s. It tends to attract more women than men, but we had quite a few husbands come last year, and even a team of a couple of men.” There is no club membership required to attend the retreat. “It’s open to everyone,” said Juliusson. “Last year we had people come from as far away as Toronto.” For more information on the Harrison Land Cruise 2014, or on the Duplicate Lite Bridge Club, visit the website at duplicatelite.shawwebspace.ca

OPEN HOUSE
Extravaganza runs until June 8 in South Surrey
Trio of enviro-friendly events Three South Surrey events will be among many taking place through June 8 in the city, as part of the 17th annual Environmental Extravaganza. Two of the three are hosted by Sunnyside Acres Heritage Society, to celebrate the 26th anniversary of Sunnyside Acres’ dedication as an urban forest. May 20, the community is invited to ‘Walk on the Sunnyside.’ Participants in the 6:30-8:30 p.m. event will learn about native trees, shrubs, wildlife and ecosys-
tems in the 130-hectare forest; as well, about past logging activities and current conservation efforts. Binoculars are recommended, and the event will go on rain or shine. An open house is planned for 1-4 p.m. May 25, and is to include live entertainment and naturalistled tours. Both events take place at the Wally Ross parking lot, off 24 Avenue between 144 and 148 streets. On May 31, volunteers with the Friends of Semiahmoo Heritage
Society will share the history of Semiahmoo Heritage Trail, a former wagon road. Local residents fought for preservation of the 140-year-old trail. A short presentation on the trail’s history will be led by Hugh Ellenwood, archives manager of the White Rock Museum & Archives, followed by a guided walk along the trail. Those interested are asked to meet at the southeast corner of 148 Street and 28 Avenue at 2 p.m. The event will run rain or shine.

Several huge hits were delivered by both sides – much to the delight of the few hundred fans in attendance – and at least twice in the first half tension boiled over into physical confrontations and opposing players had to be pulled off one another by teammates. “That’s just the rivalry,� said Semiahmoo scrum half and co-captain Matt Gallagher. “Before the game, we’re best buds with those guys, and after the game, we’re buds with them, too. “But during the game, they’re our enemy. That’s just how it is.�
Earl Marriott coach Adam Roberts chalked up the loss to a lack of discipline from his group. “It was our own mistakes, this was our own fault,â€? he said after the game. “It was our penalties, our lack of discipline‌ I don’t know, we just didn’t have it today.â€? He was also quick to credit the Totems for a gutsy performance. “You have to hand it to them – Semi played awesome. They played with a lot of heart, and that’s how you win.â€? Gallagher, meanwhile, said the team fully embraced its underdog role, and summed up the game rather succinctly before going off to celebrate with teammates “We wanted it back, and we got it done.â€?
