Suspect appears in Surrey Provincial Court

Charge laid in killing of hockey mom

Meyer feels pressure

Councillor‘obligated’ to cross picket lineTracy HolmesStaff Reporter

A White Rock councillor says he will not let a city strike stop him – again – from doing his civic duties.

Grant Meyer said Monday he would cross the CUPE 402-01 picket line outside city hall to attend the evening’s council meeting – where he planned to give notice of a motion suggesting a possible rebate to residents, should the city realize savings from the job action.

Meyer was the sole councillor to miss the May 12 meeting because he would not cross the picket line. He said at the time that, as a union-ized BC Ferries worker, he had to respect CUPE’s picket.

Monday, he told Peace Arch Newshe has a job to do.

“I’d rather not cross picket lines, but it kind of backs me into a cor-ner,” Meyer said, describing it as an “awkward situation.”

“That’s my obligation.”City employees launched a full-

scale strike on May 12. While city bylaws are being enforced, services such as garbage, green waste and recycling pickup are on hold.

Nearly five months after Surrey hockey mom Julie Paskall was killed, police have announced an arrest and charge.

Yosef Jomo Gopaul, 27, made his first court appear-ance in Surrey on Monday, when a charge of second-degree murder in connection with Paskall’s death was sworn.

Paskall died in December following an attack out-side the Newton Arena.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team

(IHIT) announced the latest development at a news conference Saturday afternoon in Surrey.

Gopaul, a man of small stature with close-cropped hair, appeared in Surrey Provincial Court Monday morning wearing a blue fleece zippered jacket.

He appeared to be on edge, scanning the courtroom and occasionally hang-ing his head.

According to police, Gopaul moved to the city from Brampton, Ont. eight weeks before Paskall’s death. He was arrested Friday afternoon.

Paskall, 53, was waiting for her 14-year-old son outside the Newton Arena near 71 Avenue and 136B Street on Dec. 29, 2013 when she was attacked and

clubbed in the head with a blunt object.

She died in hospital Dec. 31, leaving behind her husband, Al, teenage son and two adult daughters.

IHIT Officer in Charge Supt. Kevin Hackett called the arrest a “significant milestone” in the case.

D-Day veteran lauded

France’s highest honourTracy HolmesStaff Reporter

A South Surrey man was among six B.C. veterans bestowed with France’s highest honour, during an event last Wednesday marking the 70th anniversary of the D-Day invasion.

The Ordre national de la Légion d’honneur was presented to John (Jack) Phillips in Vancouver by Consul General of France Jean-Christophe Fleury on behalf of the president of France.

“I felt very honoured and very surprised,” Phillips said Friday of the distinction.

June 6 marks 70 years since Allied troops landed along 80 kilometres of beaches in Normandy.

Phillips, 91, remembers he was flying south of the beach head that night, as an

intruder pilot with the RCAF 418 Squadron. His target: an airport at the city of Rennes.

“I was doing a patrol time down there, (with) a couple of 500-pound bombs, to try and place them on the airport and hopefully put it out of commission,” he said.

“It was actually pitch dark when I was there, I actually couldn’t see the airport at all. But I made an attack as close to the airport as I could make out.

“As soon as I started my attack,

they opened fire on me, so I knew I was on the airport all right. So I just dropped my two 500-pound bombs and got out of there as quickly as I could.”

“Our combined investigative efforts to date have been extensive and included a significant search and canvass of the area, the review of approximately 1,000 hours of video footage, and countless hours of physical surveillance,” Hackett said.

Since Paskall’s murder, police pres-ence, including bike patrols, has been boosted in the Newton neighbourhood

around the arena and bus loop.Paskall was a longtime timekeeper

with Surrey Minor Hockey. Her son was working as a referee on the evening she was killed. A trust fund was established to assist the family.

Friday’s arrest took place on the same day that a concert in Pas-kall’s honour benefiting Variety The Children’s Charity was being held in Vancouver.

Gopaul’s next court appearance is June 13.

newsWhite Rock considers $80,000 expenditure for historical tribute to train-station history

Bronze sculpture eyed for seaside plaza

Tracy HolmesStaff Reporter

Gaps in railings intended to discourage people from crossing the BNSF train tracks along White Rock’s waterfront are to be closed this week.

City engineer Greg St. Louis announced the plan during Thursday’s rail-safety task force meeting, held in the board room of Tourism White Rock’s Russell Avenue office.

“They’re going to be closing up the gaps on West Beach… hopefully Tuesday,” he said, of work to be undertaken by BNSF.

It is among steps being completed with an aim to improve safety along the tracks – a topic that has been of particular focus since last July, following the tragic derailment in Lac Mégantic, Que. and the death of jogger Anita Lewis in White Rock.

Task force members anticipate that signs warning pedestrians to ‘Look, Listen, Live’

will be posted at the waterfront’s six rail crossings by summer.

While the design of the signs has not been finalized, committee chair Coun. Grant Meyer said he favours bold black letters on a bright yellow background. He suggested four be erected at each of the crossings – two on either side – for the best odds of getting the message to pedestrians.

Coun. Al Campbell said the ‘Look, Listen,

Live’ message “says it all.”Campbell and Meyer were among city offi-

cials to host BNSF representatives – including Daryl Ness, general manager of the railway’s northwest division – for a safety-oriented tour of the waterfront rail line on May 15.

The tour was offered during a meeting last month in Seattle between Meyer, city man-ager Dan Bottrill and BNSF officials.

Meyer told Peace Arch News the visit lasted about four hours and “went really well.” (A request by PAN to accompany the tour was denied by BNSF, in an effort to encourage participants to talk openly.)

The group walked the entire promenade, as well as about one kilometre west to the Col-dicutt Ravine – a popular walking route that the city wants to formally include as part of the promenade.

“Now I think they (BNSF) realize why we’ve kind of been saying if we separate (the

walkway), it’s going to solve a lot of issues,” Meyer said.

The city has earmarked just under $2 mil-lion for the extension – $90,000 in 2014 for the design, and $1.63 million in 2015 for the construction.

As the project is eyed for BNSF land that is not part of the city’s existing lease with the railway, Meyer said a memorandum of under-standing must be in place before the exten-sion can proceed. He said Ness suggested the MoU could be ready within six months.

Meyer said detailed plans won’t be prepared until there’s an assurance it can go ahead.

“We’re not going to do it until basically we’ve got an agreement saying we can do it,” he said. “That was our position.”

Railway spokesperson Gus Melonas described the visit as “cordial,” and said BNSF looks forward to working with the city on “future enhancements.”

A bronze sculpture celebrating the history and people of the White Rock train station may soon grace the city’s waterfront.

White Rock council was to consider approving up to $80,000 for the project at its meeting Mon-day night, after Peace Arch News’ press deadline.

In a report recommending council endorse the request, the city’s director of leisure services Eric Stepura notes that public art “shapes the environment around it.”

The proposed sculpture “will not only be a

figurative representation of the history of the White Rock train station, one of the oldest and most iconic buildings in White Rock, but will add to the artistic landscape of the city and will be a tourism draw for the waterfront,” Stepura writes.

The funding request follows council’s March 31 endorsement of a limited call for artists for the work, which is hoped to be installed on the water-side plaza of the White Rock Museum & Archives by fall.

In his report, Stepura notes the sculpture is among projects that were assigned to the public-

art task force when it formed in January. They are to also initiate a mural and recommend a site for a sculpture garden on city-owned land.

The amount requested is based on research into the cost of similar historical bronze sculp-tures (including Nathan Scott’s Homecoming in Victoria), and includes all anticipated costs – from the artist’s fees to insurance and delivery.

Stepura recommended the funds, if approved, come from the community public-art-project budget. So far this year, $59,950 of the $150,000 available has been spent or committed, leaving $90,050 available for the sculpture, he writes.

Phillips said he flew a total of 44 trips with the squadron, and, along with his navigator, was injured in a flight over Denmark one August night.

“I was about three months in the hospital,” he said.

Not long after that trip, the two pilots were awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. According to Veterans Affairs Canada, the cross recognizes “acts of valour, courage or devotion to duty whilst flying in active operations against the enemy.”

Phillips – now a father of three and grandfather to seven – retired from the RCAF in 1964 with the rank of wing commander. He met his wife, Olga (Sunny), in Montreal, and the two have been married 67 years. They moved to South Surrey from

Ottawa in 1984.In a news release announcing

the medal ceremony at the Fairmont Waterfront Hotel, Premier Christy Clark described D-Day as “a foundational moment for an entire generation, and for Canada.”

“We will always be humbled by the tremendous courage, effort and sacrifices these men and

women made overseas for us.”Fleury said, “We are forever

grateful to all those Canadian and Allied forces who sacrificed so much in the cause of freedom.”

Despite the passage of time, Phillips has a clear picture of his experiences in the war.

“These things tend to stick out in your memory,” he said.

Meyer said citizens are particu-larly upset with the lack of gar-bage pickup, and said the city should look at whether a rebate on residents’ property taxes is warranted, to compensate for them paying for services they

aren’t receiving.“I’d be willing to have staff

look at that,” Meyer said. “That’s something I’d definitely be in favour with” if the city realized savings during the strike.

“People are trying to make do. The big one is garbage,” he said.

Mayor Wayne Baldwin could not be reached by PAN press deadline Monday, however, Meyer said the mayor has indi-cated to him that he would sup-port the rebate motion.

Mediated talks are scheduled for Wednesday and Friday.

A handful of future residents and hopeful investors joined City of White Rock officials and representatives of LLW Holdings Ltd. last week to celebrate the groundbreaking of the Newport at West Beach development.

The balloon- and flower-laden moment was possible due to sales in the waterfront project surpass-ing the 55 per cent mark, Steve Andersen, principal partner of Lofthouse/Andersen Marketing, told the crowd.

The project, to be built on 1.14 acres at the high-profile corner of Marine Drive and Oxford Street – on the former White Rock Muffler site, plus two neighbour-ing Buena Vista Avenue lots – is set for occupancy in 2016.

First proposed in 2011 – and the subject of much concern for area residents in the months that followed – it received the go-ahead from White Rock council in March 2013.

At last week’s ground-breaking, Mayor Wayne Baldwin described the project as “a prime exam-ple” of what is wanted for White Rock.

Baldwin commended the developer for modi-fying the design in an effort to address neighbours’ concerns,

which included height and view impacts.

“I’m very impressed with what I’ve seen,” he said.

The project is mixed-use residential/com-mercial. Andersen told Peace Arch News that the centrepiece – at the corner of Marine and

Oxford, with a rooftop patio – sold for $1,000 per square foot

(nearly $2 million).“And we could’ve sold it three

times over,” he said.North Vancouver residents

Sean and Kelly Erdman said they bought into the Newport as an investment property.

But looking over the model at last week’s groundbreaking Sean Erdman said it’s possible they could decide to keep it for them-selves.

“Maybe,” he said, with a grin.

Many in our community will be glad to hear that a suspect has been arrested in the death of Surrey hockey mom

Julie Paskall.The tragedy – she was attacked and clubbed

while she waited for her 14-year-old son outside Newton Arena on Dec. 29 – shocked her neighbourhood, and the rest of Surrey, into action.

It raised awareness of issues that had already made many in Newton fearful of venturing outside after dark. And by and large, Surrey RCMP has responded well to residents’ calls for more police presence, including reinstating the city’s bike patrol, and more effective community policing.

This weekend’s announcement, by the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, of the arrest of a 27-year-old suspect, who has been charged with second-degree murder, must come as a welcome first step toward closure for Paskall’s loved ones, friends and neighbours.

But we cannot allow it to simply become a check-mark in a box under the heading of “appropriate action.”

The charges, of course, must be proven before we can be sure that the perpetrator has been correctly identified. And the fact that the suspect is from out of the province and had only lived in the community a matter of weeks before the crime, should not have any bearing on our thinking about crime prevention.

The safety issues raised by Paskall’s death and the insecurity that people in Newton – and other areas of Surrey – have felt about the potential for violent crime have not vanished with the announcement of the arrest.

The valid concerns of the public cannot be allowed to dissipate in a sense of relief that a potential perpetrator has been found. Whatever the methods or motivations of this particular crime, we cannot lose sight of the crucial third element – opportunity.

As the city grows, our concern for the security and livability of our neighbourhoods must grow accordingly. More than simply demanding more RCMP members and more visible deployment, we should also give greater attention to the kind of city we are building.

Whatever grandiose development schemes we subscribe to, safety must be a key element of the planning process – unless we wish to see all of Surrey fall victim to a common malaise of increasingly urbanized environments.

editorial

Don’t let our guard down

Published at South Surrey by Black Press Ltd.

opinionPeace Arch News

Last week’s column on the proposal to add a mandatory high school course on the effects of Canada’s

aboriginal residential-school policy attracted a range of responses – some of which are printable.

I referred to comments made by BC Teachers’ Federation vice-president Glen Hansman at a 2012 aboriginal-education conference, where he insisted that “racism is the norm in public schools – still today” because of a colonial perspective that remains ingrained in our culture.

Aboriginal education has been built into social studies curriculum for years. It’s come a long way from my high school days, where Mr. Spillers, my Grade 8 English teacher, assigned us an essay proposing solutions to Canada’s “Indian problem.”

That was 1972, and it was the only time the subject came up. My lone aboriginal classmate wasn’t around by then. I never saw him again after we graduated from our rural elementary school.

How are things now? I received a thoughtful letter from a young woman who graduated from high school in the Okanagan last year. She writes:

“The idea that information about

residential schools is not presented to students is entirely incorrect. The social studies curriculum that I went through included a large emphasis on

First Nations culture and post-European colonization history.

“First Nations studies began in elementary school and continued to the last mandatory social studies course in Grade 11. I can say with no hesitation that if anything, I have been informed too often about the residential schools, and the horrendous things that occurred there.

“If aboriginal culture courses are poorly attended, I would be inclined to suggest that it is because students are tired of being taught the same limited

perspective over and over, and, if of European descent, being made to feel somehow responsible for all possible troubles plaguing First Nations today.”

Another reply I’d like to share is from Keith Thor Carlson, editor of the Stó:lo Nation historical atlas I referred to last week. Carlson is now a history professor at the University of Saskatchewan, specializing in the Salish people of B.C. and the Métis of Northern Saskatchewan. He writes:

“We do need to teach the history of the First Peoples of this country in our

schools, and we do need to keep vigilant about the racism that continues to haunt the hallways and classrooms where our children learn.

“Of course aboriginal history should never be reduced to victim history, and with the Stó:lo atlas we sought to show the complexity of aboriginal history, and we sought to show that not only are there aboriginal people in Canada’s history, but that Canada is in aboriginal peoples’ histories.

“There were times in the past when aboriginal people were victimized (residential schools being a tragic example), and there were times when aboriginal people showed great agency (retaining the masked dance, and continuing to fish salmon, for example).

“Knowing that native society was not a Utopia when Europeans arrived does not take away from the importance of learning about the full history of aboriginal people and their relationship with Canadian society.

“And of course, as Ernie Crey has reminded me many times, let’s never forget that native rights are not based on race. Rather, they are rights based on prior occupation. And let’s also not forget that it is British and Canadian law that recognizes aboriginal peoples’ inherent rights.

“Let’s teach good history to our youth so they can understand the complex relationship between settler society and aboriginal society. Through knowledge comes understanding and through understanding can come reconciliation.”

quote of note

lettersPeace Arch NewsPeace Arch News

Affordability a prime concernEditor:

On a side trip to White Rock – where I lived for 20 years from the late-’60s thru the ’80s – I was interested to see in Thursday’s Peace Arch News the “same old, same old” issues affecting folks in 2014 as they did back in the day.

School board budget deficits; municipal workers’ strike for a better compensation package; teacher bargaining impasse over salaries and working conditions…

Now, whether it’s health, education, welfare, transit or any other public-purse expense, it’s the taxpayers’ ability to pay that must drive debate.

As ever, all public revenue comes first and foremost from the sale of goods and services to willing purchasers – e.g. school districts selling classroom seats to offshore families willing to pay beaucoup tuition for their billeted children.

Or it could be coal. Or LNG. Or wood. Or tourism.

Only after the purchase of something of value do taxation pools from income, GST and/or real estate taxes arise as a secondary revenue source. Thus, if commercial sales of goods and services do not keep pace with public-sector spending demands, there must be a reckoning of priorities; if more for education then perhaps less for health or social services and maybe less still for transportation and/or a reduction in capital project investments.

Either those kinds of priority choices, or the government must mortgage the province by borrowing money and generating downstream debt-loads for our children and our children’s children and so on, for generations to come.

The solution to White Rock’s civic-worker problems or the school district’s budget/teacher compensation problems is not a simple “Throw money at it to make it stop!” as some suggest. The only truly relevant question that must be answered first is “Where does the money come from?” Followed by “How?” Followed by “Why?”

Triangulating any of the noted issues in this way for public debate is the only way to achieve insight and discernment at what the appropriate answers might be.

And that’s what we collectively elect our legislatures, councils and boards to do on our behalf. May they ever act wisely and discreetly in how they spend the money we taxpayers give them in trust.W. Baird Blackstone, Tsawwassen

We’re doing your jobsEditor:

I would like to extend a thank you to CUPE for forcing me to stop and smell the roses… or is that the smell of rotting garbage?

Why yes, I believe it is.Thanks for making me spend

hours of my time driving to the landfill, paying out my cash money

for a service I already pay for and waiting in lineups on my time off to do so.

You thought that going on strike would foster support for your cause? Not here. Not at my neighbours’ houses either.

Good job.Civilians have started to do your

members’ jobs, too. Maybe we don’t need you that badly after all.B. Jakob, White Rock

‘Anti-bias’ rules marginalize us

An open letter to the Surrey Board of Education.

As you launch the new school year considering the dynamic and diverse district of Surrey schools, I wonder if you realize the majority of the school populous diversity lies in their cultural and moral values, and not in what is in their pants and the intended use thereof.

When you talk of human rights,

you come across as very biased and discriminatory towards the majority that is involved in contributing, physically, financially and emotionally toward the successful operation of the schools.

While preoccupied with not marginalizing anyone, you actually are marginalizing most of them.

I question your assertion, that the new regulation of ‘sexual orientation and gender equality’ provides equality for all. In fact, it is extremely discriminatory towards the majority. The Safe & Caring Schools Policy that you so lovingly talk about actually creates an environment of fear and oppression for those who hold a different view.

It is, in fact, a gag order for many students, their parents and teachers.

It is the kind of dictatorship that is commonly witnessed in the Third World underdeveloped countries, that some of us have left to migrate to a democratic country, where there is freedom of speech, freedom of religion and equality for all, not a select few.Rukhsana Sharif, Surrey

The world’s our stageEditor:

It was a quiet night on the Promenade Thursday evening for a couple of licensed street performers, so we packed up and left early.

But we were surprised to find our “hat” contained $2, plus a small packet of Bank of Pakistan banknotes, 4,000 rupees.

This converted to more than $40!Lera-Lan & Alan Thomson (a.k.a. Ling-Ling & The Great Marrdini), Surrey

Apathy pervasiveRe: Rail safety comes down to hope, May 8 letters.

To keep the trains from running through White Rock would be to use the spur line in Sumas to link up with the lines that CP uses for their Coal Trains.

We have to get Prime Minister Stephen Harper to tell BNSF to use that spur line, give our lifestyle back to us, without the loss of sleep, property values declining and unnecessary deaths associated with the train traffic.

There is an apathy which I find pervasive throughout White Rock and Surrey of not wanting to do anything about the trains.

Maybe it is the elderly population, or a feeling of being overwhelmed by the costs involved or just who cares.

If we don’t speak up and do something constructive about the trains, Harper and BNSF will make our lives miserable and unbearable.

After three years of writing to BNSF, I have a letter from its legal department. In part, BNSF say that they

are doing nothing wrong, and there are no complaints, and everything is wonderful, and they are complying with all Canadian laws.Robert Melynchuk, Surrey

The B.C. government is not planning to legislate a settlement to the latest teacher strike, which is shutting down schools in each district for a day this week.

In Surrey, the job action is planned for Thursday.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender said Monday the government is looking for movement from the B.C. Teachers’ Federation on its wage and benefit demands, but isn’t going to impose another contract exten-sion on the union. The legislature is scheduled to adjourn for the summer on Thursday.

“To rush to legislation is not where we’re going to go,” Fass-bender said. “We want the BCTF to come to the table with a wage response that is reasonable and within the zone of other public sector unions. We expect them to come with some-thing that is affordable for taxpayers.”

Lockout provisions that take effect 45 minutes before and after school hours and during lunch and recess breaks were announced last week to mirror union work-hour restrictions that started in April. BCTF president Jim Iker said the move would disrupt graduation ceremonies, and sports, drama and clubs would be cancelled.

“No more calls to parents, no more emails home, it all comes to an end because of the lockout,” Iker said.

The B.C. Public School Employ-ers’ Association issued a letter to the BCTF Sun-day saying Iker’s state-ments are incorrect, and there are no school district restrictions on extracurricular or volun-teer activities.

“If teachers withdraw from participation in extracurricular or vol-unteer activities, they do so at the encouragement

of the union and by their own choice,” the letter states.

The lockout is an attempt to bolster the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association’s case for cutting salaries by 10 per cent in response to strike action.

BCPSEA administrator Michael Marchbank notified the union of the lockout terms in a letter deliv-

ered Wednesday. The letter also confirmed that if no agreement is reached, secondary school teach-ers will be locked out June 25 and 26, and all BCTF members will be locked out June 27, a year-ending administrative day.

Iker said the year-end lockout may disrupt report cards and marking of provincial exams for graduating students.

Teachers were to protest the lockout with a “mass mark-in” at Guildford Town Centre Monday (after Peace Arch News’ deadline).

Cameron replied that most pro-vincial exams are unaffected.

BCPSEA says the BCTF’s wage and benefit demands add up to 21.5 per cent over four years.

The union is appealing the pay cut to the Labour Relations Board. Iker said it’s unfair to cut the pay of teachers who are still on the job while others take part in one-day strikes.

The union says rotating strikes could continue beyond this week.

Sheila ReynoldsBlack Press

After spending nine years as a Surrey school trustee and nine years prior as a provincial MLA, Reni Masi is retiring from politics this fall.

"I'll miss it," he told Black Press in an interview Thursday. "It's the right time."

Masi said after much consideration, he's decided three terms on Surrey's Board of Education is enough, and he's satisfied he's accomplished many of the things he set out to do as a trustee.

His primary goal upon being elected in 2005 was to help the board focus on educational matters rather than political issues.

"Obviously, I was concerned about education, as an educator," the former teacher and principal said, noting trustees of varying political stripes have come together to function in a non-partisan manner better than some

of their predecessors. "My focus was education, not politics."

Some of the other things Masi felt passionately about were establishing community

schools and expanding the International Baccalaureate program.

"That (the latter) was important because it's an excellent program," he said. "We've sent a lot of kids to major universities through that program – top, first-class universities."

He also helped the board fight for – and

eventually receive – equitable funding which, due to a flawed government formula, repeatedly left Surrey getting significantly less money than similarly sized districts such as Vancouver.

One of the things he wished he had achieved was making PE mandatory for Grade 11 students.

"It's good for kids. It gives them new outlooks and new career possibilities and establishes lifestyles."

Masi was a teacher for 15 years

and a principal for 20 – all in Surrey. While he ran unsuccessfully provincially in Surrey in 1966 and twice federally (1980 and 1984), it wasn't until he retired from being a principal in 1991 that he began thinking more seriously about entering political life.

"It was always a strong interest," he said. "I like the theory of politics. We live in the best country in the world. Why not get involved?"

After a two-year stint coaching basketball at Holy Cross High School, Masi served as president of the BC Liberal Party from 1994 to '95. A year later, he threw his hat in the ring to represent the Delta-North riding, unseating Norm Lortie and serving the constituency until 2005.

Masi, 80, has been married for nearly 45 years and has three adult sons and two grandchildren.

His future plans are uncertain, he says, but he's not too worried about keeping busy.

"Something will come along."Worst case scenario, I become a

campaign manager somewhere," he laughed.

Jeff NagelBlack Press

Transportation Minis-ter Todd Stone won’t say whether the public will get a veto over possible tolls on a new bridge to replace the Massey Tun-nel.

The province hasn’t decided the scope or cost of the Highway 99 cor-ridor project but Stone was asked by Black Press how he intends to get public approval for tolls if they’re to finance the promised new bridge.

“If we end up going down the road of tolls on the George Massey

Bridge, we would want to make sure that was well informed by the public in terms of some public input,” Stone responded Wednesday.

He said the public engagement model used for the Port Mann/High-way 1 project is “one potential template.”

Stone was referring to a series of public open houses and an online sur-

vey held in 2006, after which the province announced it had 56 per

cent support of 2,300 consultation participants for its plan to toll the new Port Mann Bridge.

Asked if the province would impose tolls anyway or abandon the idea if the public opposes pay-ing to cross a new Massey Bridge, Stone was non-committal.

“It’s absolutely premature,” he said. “We don’t know if the desired funding model would be a tolled option.”

One method of public approval Stone rules out is including Massey Bridge tolls to the ref-erendum TransLink mayors are expected to seek on a package of TransLink projects and new taxes.

perspectives…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Sarah MassahStaff Reporter

It’s not exactly a walk down memory lane, but the annual Semiahmoo Heritage Trail

Walk will take participants along a path rich in history.

The annual walk – which will take place May 31 as part of Surrey’s Environmental Extravaganza – will also mark the 140th year since the Semiahmoo Wagon Road was completed between Brown’s Landing on the Fraser River to Blaine.

The stretch of trail that participants will walk along will also include portions of the wagon road, Friends of Semiahmoo Heritage Trail volunteer Keith Gilley noted.

“It’s the exact spot where the wagon road was, all that 140 years ago,” he said, adding that there is still evidence of Brown’s Landing along the Fraser River. “It actually became Brown’s Hill.”

The annual walk, organized by passionate volunteers like Gilley, and his wife, Maggie, will feature a number of activities.

Hugh Ellenwood, the archives manager at the White Rock Museum, will give a brief history of the wagon road and trail as participants assemble for the walk. Also active in the walk will be Lynn Pollard, a general

naturalist and birder, Al Schulze, an environmentalist and birder and Ron Meadley, also an environmentalist, who will speak about the trees of the trail.

“The guys who lead love to be asked questions,” Maggie said. “The volunteers are just amazing people.”

This year, in honour of the anniversary, the city will also be

gifting participants with native seedlings.

The Gilleys noted people who are interested in participating with the group in the future are able to volunteer with the bi-annual restoration projects –

including children and youth.For the youth, Surrey Parks

supplies children’s tools and gloves, Maggie noted.

She recalled one young volunteer who added a personal touch to the plants she planted.

“She named all of the plants she and her mother planted together after characters from the movie Frozen,” she laughed.

The annual walk will kick off at 2 p.m. at the southeast corner of 148 Street and 28 Avenue.

ACCES event enjoyed

Student poems ‘light up’ luncheon

Two Semiahmoo Secondary students wowed the crowd at the annual African Canadian Continuing Education Society appreciation luncheon with the strength of their words.

Grade 11 student Ariel Zhang and Grade 10 student Selina Shivji “lit up the room” when they performed poems they had written at the May 14 luncheon, according to a news release from ACCES, which was founded by White Rock residents George and Beth Scott in 1993 in order to provide support to Kenyan

communities.The two

women were named winner and runner-up, respectively, in an annual poetry competition, organized by ACCES board member and

retired educator Don Larson, with help from Semiahmoo Secondary’s English teacher Melanie Grant.

The competition aims to “involve and inspire students in the White Rock/South Surrey community to write and reflect on the power of education.”

Puneet Tatla and Peter Woo, who also competed, received honourable mentions.

All competitors researched education in Kenya and transformed what they learned into spoke word poems.

Through research, I discovered that education for people in developing countries is the gate to a future that isn’t composed of living in a shack or going hungry every night,” Zhang said in the release. “I will never complain about school again – or try my hardest, at least.”

The event also featured a presentation from Kenyan lawyer, Carlestous Shifwoka, who received support from ACCES to achieve his goals. Shifwoka is currently a member of the ACCES-Kenya advisory council, owns his own law firm in Kakamega and is personally sponsoring students through ACCES.

Night marketThe popular night market idea is

coming to Surrey.Based on a weekend

market in Richmond that attracts thousands from May through October, organizers are looking to bring the concept to Cloverdale.

Surrey’s version launches in the summer and will be an open-air market for residents buying and selling a variety of local foods, services and goods. It’s planned as a multicultural, family-friendly event.

It’s also expected the market, which will set up shop at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds, will showcase a variety of talent and performing arts.

The Surrey Night Market will run from July to August, Fridays and Saturdays, from 6-11 p.m. at

THIS IS THE LIFEWhite Rock senior turns 100

With a big smile and friends by her side, Sunnyside Manor resident Anne Paone

celebrated her 100th birthday on May 21.

To her delight, many notable people sent her mail, including Queen Elizabeth, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Premier Christy Clark, Governor General David Johnston, MLA Gordon Hogg and a representative from the City of White Rock.

Sunnyside Manor residents and Paone’s daughter Georgie cheerfully sang Happy Birthday, gathered for tea and handed her cards and flowers.

“She has such a great sense of humour,” says activity co-ordinator Jacking Jennings, who organized the get-together.

Paone has always been fond of Queen Elizabeth II, who is 12 years her junior.

In her royal birthday letter, Her Majesty wrote: “I am delighted to

hear that you are celebrating your one hundredth birthday. I send you my warmest congratulations on this happy occasion and good wishes for an enjoyable day.”

Signed, “Elizabeth R.”The message included a photo of

the Queen donning a pearl necklace, along with a matching light-blue dress and signature hat on a trip to Canada in the summer of 2010.

Over the past 50 years, she has worn 5,000 different hats and was spotted wearing her favourites 20 or 30 times. It’s even rumoured that Her Majesty travels with a separate train car to accommodate her vast collection.

Growing up in the early 1990s, Queen Elizabeth and Poane saw the world change in much the same way.

Looking at back-and-white photos of her childhood, wedding day and mother brought back fond memories for Paone, who was born and raised in Vancouver and, with three brothers, was the only girl in her family.

Due to technological advances and a major increase in population, Vancouver in the early-1900s was much different than it is today.

Back then, many of the roads were

still gravel and streetcars whisked people to and from work.

Spotting livestock in residential areas was much more common than it is today. When Paone was a child, she attended Carleton School in East Vancouver and, in her spare time, looked after chickens, rabbits and a cow.

From a young age, her mother taught her how to knit and sew and, in the future, she put these skills to good use by making her daughter’s clothes and household curtains.

Paone is still an avid knitter and donates much of her work to charity.

When the time came to begin work, Paone was employed by a telephone company to make phonebooks.

But her life wasn’t all work. She loved going to dances and it was

at one of these events that she met George, her future husband.

They eventually married at St. Mary’s Church when Paone was 26 years old.

The couple owned a mobile home in Birch Bay and spent many pleasant weekends there, and occasionally travelled to San Francisco to visit their large extended family.

Happy 100th birthday!

Hope for Osteoarthritis: Cold Laser TherapyCold Laser Therapy (often also called Low Intensity Laser Therapy or Low Level Laser Therapy) is an innovative treatment for osteoarthritis and several other – often painful – conditions.

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

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

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

The Concept Behind Cold Laser TherapyThe healing power of lightThe concept of Cold Laser Therapy is actually quite simple. As humans, light plays a very important role in our existence. Similar to how plant cells require light for photosynthesis, our cells need light to power many of the normal processes that keep us healthy and happy. As long as we are exposed to enough regular sunlight, our skin absorbs the light we need and our cells can use it for many of their normal functions. If our cells are working normally, then our bodies are able to withstand diff erent stresses from day to day activities and heal various ailments.Light therapy is not a new concept. It has been and continues to be used by doctors to treat a wide variety of conditions. For exam-ple, light has shown to be eff ective for treating many skin conditions including psoriasis and acne, depression and even tuberculosis before there were medications. Most people who suff er from arthritis can attest to the fact that their pain usually reduces or even completely subsides during the summer months or on a vacation to a sunny destination.Vitamin D, critical for keeping our bones healthy and strong, is created in our bod-ies by a process that requires sunlight. In places where there isn’t much sunlight available year round, people are usually encouraged to take vitamin D supple-ments during the darker months to help support their bones and prevent against bone-softening conditions such as rickets (in children) or osteoporosis.When we experience pain or infl ammation from a problem or injury in an area of our body, the normal cellular processes slow down and our body has trouble heal-ing as a result. Blood fl ow to these areas also gets interrupted, which restricts the ability of important nutrients to be delivered to the cells that need to heal.The scienceScientifi c research conducted over the last few decades has shown that human cells heal better and faster when the right wavelengths of light energy get delivered to them.Cold Laser Therapy is a breakthrough solution for osteoarthritis pain because it shines a concentrated amount of most helpful wavelengths of light vital for healing (in the red and infrared parts of the spectrum) directly on aff ected areas. This allows the cartilage, bones and surrounding infl amed tissues to be exposed to the healthy light that otherwise would not 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 accelerate the body’s natural healing process at the cellular level. It targets injured cells, resulting in elimination and prevention of pain, reduction of infl ammation and swelling, and improved range of motion. Laser therapy does not just mask the pain, it actively stimulates healing to resolve musculoskeletal conditions for the long term.The Biofl ex Cold Laser Therapy system is a three step process, each using a diff erent wavelength of light which has been found to optimally stimulate your body’s cells. The fi rst step uses a red light pad at 660 nm, which gets absorbed by the cells of the skin and underlying superfi cial layers of mus-cle. The second step uses an infrared light pad at 830 nm, reaching deeper into the muscle layers, as well as the tendons and ligaments. The third step includes an infrared laser wand at 840 nm that is placed specifi cally on the aff ected areas by a trained laser therapist. This light is very con-centrated and targets the deepest aff ected structures, stimulating healing inside aff ected joints and even bone.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

arthritic knees. One arthroscopic procedure and one complete knee replacement

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

require replacing and remained dependent on prescription pain medication in

order to function on a very basic level.

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

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

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

that might achieve that goal.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Laser Therapy. It certainly worked for me.”

Hearing loss and mental well-being

File photoDr. Melanie Rapoport from Solaj Wellness Centre says taking charge of your own health is the key to enjoying a fulfilling life.

New fridge or no pain?

Good hearing is an important aspect of healthy living

Whether in a business meeting, talking with friends or watching TV, the ability to hear clearly is an essential part of daily life.

Research shows that good hearing is a vital component of healthy living, enabling us to live life to the fullest, said Mary Rankin, Hearing Instrument Practitioner from Expert Hearing Solutions in South Surrey.

“For many years it has been known that untreated hearing loss can lead to social isolation and result in depression,” she added.

Auditory Deprivation is a condition that can occur due to untreated hearing loss. If the brain is deprived of auditory information, as happens in untreated hearing loss, the auditory centres lose their ability to function properly.

When attempts are made to remedy the loss through amplification, the brain may have difficulty interpreting the speech sounds not heard in a long time, explained Mary.

Recent research has linked hearing loss to dementia.

These studies show people with mild hearing loss are twice as likely to develop dementia, while those with severe hearing loss are five times more likely to develop dementia, said Mary.

Accurate sensory input is vital to maintaining brain health and cognitive function.

Mary recommends that routine health checks for people over 55 should include a hearing evaluation.

“All hearing loss should be addressed sooner rather than later,” she said.

It’s an all-too-common story: As seniors get older, many begin to suffer from increased pains and reduced mobility, often from osteoarthritis or from internal scar tissue build-up from long ago injuries or surgery.

Often these seniors are told that there’s no cure for their pain and pain-killing medication is the only option, said Dr. Melanie Rapoport from Solaj Wellness Centre in South Surrey. “Sufferers would just have to get used to increasing pain and decreased mobility and one day maybe some sort of joint replacement or other surgery,” Rapoport explained, adding that for many such seniors this means putting up with side-effects of ever-increasing dosages of medication, some of them eventually undergoing surgery with the associated risks of complications including infections.

“It’s a rather sad outlook, but healthcare pays for it,“ she added. “Many seniors give up and become passengers on this ride of pain. They just follow whatever the system suggests and pays for.”

“On the other hand, at our cold laser-therapy clinic, we regularly see seniors who have decided to take charge of their own health future with their personal judgement, experience and money,“ Rapoport continued. “And we’ve seen remarkable reductions in pain and increased mobility in clients suffering from a number of common seniors’ ailments, including osteoarthritis and internal scar tissue buildup.”

In closing, she quoted one of her clients, who told her husband: “We can either get the new fridge we’ve wanted, or I could try to get rid of my pain.”

He replied that the fridge could wait.

Advice from people who live in the Peninsula Retirement Community:

Dear Residents: I am moving to a retirement residence, but can’t decide between two cities? Any thoughts – Indecisive Iris

Dear Iris: Moves are often prompted by a desire to be close to family: if you rely on family for help, or you enjoy babysitting the grandkids you will want to be near, but if you prefer more independence you may be happier in a neighbouring area better suited to your lifestyle. Proximity to dear friends may be very important if distance has been limiting your visits. You might be persuaded by the landscape if you have childhood associations (seaside, mountain view,

farmland etc.). Do you you drive, does the residence have a shuttle bus, or will you have to walk or taxi everywhere? Is the area senior friendly? Does it have amenities and recreation you desire; are you comfortable with the expected growth? Typical weather varies greatly within lower mainland cities and has impact on your daily pleasure. Neighbourhoods surrounding retirement residences are smaller communities within larger towns and have their own culture. Stay within both districts for awhile, in a hotel, or the residence guest suite. This will give you the clearest appreciation of whether or not the area suits your interests and lifestyle. – the Residents

sports…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Nick GreenizanSports Reporter

A long-standing White Rock lacrosse tour-nament honouring one of the sport’s greats has been cancelled due to the city strike.

Semiahmoo Minor Lacrosse’s annual Wayne Goss Tournament – which has been held at Centen-nial Arena for nearly two decades – was cancelled because organiz-ers could not say for sure whether the city-run arena would still be closed by the tournament’s May 30 start.

Twelve peewee teams – 10 of which were set to come from out of town – were scheduled to take part, Semiahmoo Lacrosse president Glen Stoten told Peace Arch News, announc-

ing the decision last week.. “It’s a shame. It’s too bad for the kids,

because for most teams, you only have one out-of-town tournament a season, so now they won’t have one,” he said.

The decision to cancel had to be made early, Stoten said, because waiting until the last minute wouldn’t be fair to teams travelling here from out of the area.

It’s not just the lacrosse players who will notice the tournament’s loss, he added.

“We have a lot of young referees who get paid to referee the games, so now they’ve lost out on some money,” Stoten said, adding that the association will also miss out on funds from team-entry fees, concessions and 50/50

draws. “We aren’t a big association, so we rely on that money.”

Goss – whom Stoten called “the Wayne Gretzky of lacrosse” – was also looking for-ward to attending the tournament, Stoten said.

Goss was a member of the New West-minster Salmonbellies during the late 1960s and ’70s. He is a member of the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame.

In 1982, while helping a friend build a cabin, he slipped and fell 10 metres onto rocks. He suffered a severe brain-stem injury, which affects balance, co-ordination and speech.

“This tournament is our way of honouring him,” Stoten said. “I think Wayne and his wife are pretty disappointed. It’s crushing for him that he isn’t able to come and watch.”

It’s not just the tournament that has been

affected by the current job action. Stoten said the entire season is now in flux, as managers work frantically to find floor-time for home games for the association’s 15 teams.

“Our whole season is in jeopardy,” he said. So far, Semi Lacrosse has managed to play

a few games in other cities – as far away as Abbotsford and Delta – but Stoten admits “floor space is pretty hard to come by.”

Should the association fail to have all its home games played by the end of the sea-son in June, fines are levied on Semiahmoo Lacrosse from the sports’ governing bodies.

“Considering our circumstances, you hope maybe that wouldn’t be the case, but as it stands now, I understand we’d be fined if the games are not played,” Stoten said.

“But (the strike) is killing us.”

and the



A handful of former White Rock Renegades are shining on softball fields south of the border.

Katelyn Bedwell, a senior first baseman at the University of North Carolina-Greensboro, was named the Southern Conference player of the year earlier this month, after a record-breaking season on the diamond.

The Elgin Park graduate was also named to the All-Conference team for a fourth time. This past season, Bedwell set a school record for runs-batted-in in a single season with 64 – third most in Southern Conference history – and also set a school record in batting average, after hitting at a .429 clip.

She was also named

the conference’s player of the month for April, after clubbing four doubles and 12 home runs in 17 games.

“She is so deserving of this honour,” UNCG softball coach Janelle Breneman said. “K.B. will lead here… as one of the top hitters ever to wear the blue and gold.

“Her hard work, natural

ability, combined with her hitting mentality, has been fun to watch. (Bedwell) has been a constant example for our younger hitters and is the most talented hitter I have ever had the privilege of coaching.”

Elsewhere in the NCAA, another former Renegade – pitcher Sara Groenewegen – added an award to her ever-growing trophy case.

The freshman pitcher at the University of

Minnesota was recently named the Big Ten Conference’s freshman of the year, as well as pitcher of the year.

She is just the third player in conference history to win both awards in the same season.

Groenewegen finished the regular season with a 7-2 win-loss record as a pitcher, holding batters to a .142 batting average. She had 104 strikeouts and four shutouts, while also pitching a no-hitter against Penn State.

Groenewegen helped

the Golden Gophers to a berth in the Super Regionals – which were held last weekend in Oregon.

Groenewegen’s older sister, Marina – a senior at Bradley University in Illinois – has also had an impressive season.

The elder Groenewegen lead Bradley to a Missouri Valley Conference championship and a berth in the NCAA tournament.

In semifinals, Groenewegen hit two home runs.

sportsMarriott boys knock off Yale in Fraser Valley rugby final

Mariners win junior title

Dan Kinvig photoMarriott’s Jackson Sylvester-Lee is tackled by a Yale Lion.


The Earl Marriott Mariners’ junior boys rugby team has ended its season in the best way possible – with a win.

A win in the Fraser Valley championship game, against a previously undefeated team, no less.

On Wednesday at Abbotsford’s Yale Secondary, the Mariners came from behind to edge the host school – which had been steamrolling opposing teams all season long – 14-12, thanks to a late try and the accurate kicking of Tyson Smith.

“It’s just a great way to end the year,” said coach Scott Martens. “It’s been fairly common for us to be in the Fraser Valley final over the years, but Yale was unbeatable this season, so it was a big win.”

Playing on the Yale Lions’ home turf – hosting duties for Fraser Valleys were decided long before the Abby school made the title game – the Mari-ners jumped out to an early first-half lead, abeit a slim 7-5 one.

John Smith – no relation to Tyson – scored the Peninsula side’s try, and then Tyson Smith booted a conversion through the uprights from a near-impos-

sible angle. “The kick was from about two

metres from the sideline,” Martens said.

“It was an incredibly tough angle. Even in international rugby, that’s only about a 60 percenter.

“Tyson’s always had the ability to make that kick but it’s a tough one, and it’s about consistency.”

The low-percentage con-version provided the team with a huge morale boost early in the game, Martens added.

In the second half, the game became much more physical as Yale imposed its playing style on the visitors, Mar-tens said.

The home side got a try – and a conversion – to take a 12-7 lead, which held until the final two min-utes of the game.

With the clock ticking down, Mari-ners’ Wylie Gilliette scored – and Tyson Smith converted – to give the team a 14-12 lead.

Yale pressed for the go-ahead score in the waning seconds, but never got closer than about 30 yards from the Mariner end zone.

“Yale plays a very tough, straight-

ahead style, and we’re more of a finesse team that spins the ball out wide,” Martens said.

“It was a scrappy last few min-utes, but the guys held on… by the end, they just had nothing left in the tank. I was just really proud of the heart and toughness they all showed.”

That heart was no more apparent than in the play of Jackson Sylvester-Lee, Martens said.

During the game, Sylves-ter-Lee injured his leg – it later turned out to be a partially torn calf muscle – but continued to play.

“He’d be limping between plays, but then he’d get the ball and he’d be going as hard as ever,” Martens explained. “But he must’ve been in some pain – the next day at school he was on crutches.”

Martens was especially pleased with the way his squad played defen-sively, holding the high-powered Lions to just 12 points.

“I don’t think anyone’s held them to under 30 points all year, and they routinely put up 50-plus on teams,” he said.

“Our guys just played a great game at the right time.”

LASER TOENAIL FUNGUS TREATMENT CAN HELP!

INSTITUTE

Many people don’t realize they have a fungal nail prob-lem and, therefore, don’t seek treatment. Yet, fungal toenail infections are a common foot health problem and can persist for years without ever causing pain. The disease, characterized by a change in a toenail’s color, is often considered nothing more than a mere blemish. Left untreated, however, it can present serious problems.

Also referred to as onychomycosis, fungal nails are in-fections underneath the surface of the nail, which may also penetrate the nail. Fungal nail infections are often accompanied by a secondary bacterial and/or yeast infection in or about the nail plate, which ultimately

can lead to diffi culty and pain when walking or run-ning. Symptoms may include discoloration, brittleness, loosening, thickening, or crumbling of the nail.

A group of fungi, called dermophytes, easily attack the nail and thrive on keratin, the nail’s protein sub-stance. In some cases, when these tiny organisms take hold, the nail may become thicker, yellowish-brown, or darker in color, and foul smelling.

Debris may collect beneath the nail plate, white marks frequently appear on the nail plate, and the infection is capable of spreading to other toenails, the skin, or even the fi ngernails.

Nail bed injury may make the nail more susceptible to all types of infection, including fungal infection. Those who suffer chronic diseases, such as diabetes, circulatory problems, or immune-defi ciency conditions, are especially prone to fungal nails. Other contributory factors may be a history of Athlete’s Foot or excessive perspiration.

Our treatment protocol is that we treat all 10 toes due to fungus being in the shoes and socks and transferring back and forth as it usually starts in 1 or 2 toes and spreads to the others. The treatment is approx. 35 min-utes. The treatment is comfortable not painful.
