Panthers, get ready

to roarBy Jennifer LangNo matter how you slice it, this

has been a banner year for Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary athletics.

Th is week, the senior boys basket-ball team “punched their ticket to the provincials” for the fi rst time in 62 years, ending the longest drought in B.C. provincial basketball, ac-cording to Mike Mitro, one of the school’s two athletic directors.

Also on Monday night, the Grade 8 boys basketball team won the Fra-ser Valley champion-ships, securing them with a spot at the pro-vincials.

It doesn’t stop there.Th e Grade 8 girls

– Surrey basketball champs – are B.C.-bound, too, as are the Grade 9 and Junior girls (Fraser Valley champs as of last weekend), both ranked #1 going into the provincials this week and next.

Th e Junior boys, who placed sec-ond in Surrey and sixth at the Fraser Valley championships, are ranked 12th going to the provincials.

In case you’ve lost count, Lord Tweedsmuir is sending six basket-ball teams to provincial tourna-ments over the next few weeks.

Th e senior boys haven’t earned a berth to the B.C. High School Bas-ketball Championships since 1953, pushing already-bursting Panther pride through the school’s gym roof as news spread.

“Oh, everyone’s excited,” school principal Allan Buggie told Th e Reporter Tuesday.

“I cannot remember a school hav-ing this much success at all levels,” he added. “It’s new territory. It’s great.”

Th e good news isn’t limited to the basketball court, although the pro-gram has defi nitely been a boon.

Th e school has worked hard in the last six or seven years to widen the scope of its entire athletics program.

“It’s a payoff ,” Buggie said. “You see the payoff of a lot of work.”

Both Buggie and Mitro agree the school has been building up to

the kind of success the school’s enjoying in 2014/2015.

Something’s clicked.Th e Grade 8 boys

claimed the provincial football championships this year. Th e school’s ice hockey team is heading to the fi nals for the Zwick Cup for the fourth year in a row.

And eight wrestlers are off to the provincials aft er top fi ve fi nishes at the Fraser Valleys.

Meanwhile, the Grade 8/9 boys won the Surrey soccer banner and were second in the region, while the Grade 8 boys cross country team picked up the Fraser Valley champi-onship banner.

Th is year’s Grade 8 girls won the Tier 2 volleyball championships and placed second in Tier 1; the senior girls volleyball team took the Fraser Valley South league championships, and claimed second spot at the Fra-ser Valley championships.

“Just this year, it seems to be that we’ve had a lot of success,” says Mi-

CONTRIBUTED PHOTOPrime Minister Stephen Harper was in Cloverdale Feb. 19 for an announcement on the liquefi ed natural gas industry. Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s trade and technology students were part of the fl ag-draped event. Harper was joined at Kwantlen by Minister of Industry James Moore, Minister of State (Seniors) Alice Wong, Vancouver South MP Wai Young, and Prince George–Peace River MP Bob Zimmer.

CorrectionTh e overall budget of the Cloverdale Business Improvement Association is

higher than reported in last week’s edition (“Five More for BIA,” Feb. 19). Ex-ecutive director Paul Orazietti says the annual operating budget is closer to $214,000, which includes close to $50,000 in sponsorships from businesses and grants from the City of Surrey.

Stone to address Cloverdale ChamberOn the eve of the upcoming transit sales tax referendum, B.C. transportation

minister Todd Stone is guest speaker at the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce’s next luncheon, where he’ll speak on transportation priorities, and answer ques-tions from the fl oor. Th e lunch is Friday March 6 at Sunrise Banquet Centre, 5640 188 Street. Check in at 11:30 a.m. Lunch is at noon. Members $20 and non-members $30. RSVP by March 4 at 604-574-9802 or [email protected].

tro, who credits the dedication of students, and the leadership and commitment of staff and com-munity coaches, many of whom have been involved with Panthers teams for years.

“You have so many coaches striving for excellence.”

Th e school is reaching to the elementary level to let younger students know what Tweedsmuir has to off er. “We’re trying to get the kids interested as young as possible,” Mitro said.

Support from the wider com-munity is also making an impact.

“Th ere are lot of people in our community who drive our success just by making sports a priority with their kids. And it doesn’t end at high school.” Cloverdale’s community soccer, fastpitch, football and hockey as-

sociations are also thriving, he points out.

All nine of the school’s basket-ball teams qualifi ed for the Fra-ser Valley championships, but to have six boys and girls teams

from Grade 8 to the senior teams advancing to the provincials may be unprecedented.

Mitro says he’s never seen anything like it. “Th at’s not very common,” he said.

Re: “Pay parking at hospitals criticized,” Feb. 12Th ere is a deliberate and malicious injustice when a sys-

tem of parking at Surrey Memorial Hospital is set up so that patients are not at liberty to go out and feed the park-ing meter, while being attended to by hospital staff .

Th is forces them to pay more in advance for parking time than they can use, in order not to get ticketed if the meter runs out of time. In the real world, this would be considered theft for charging for services not rendered.

If it was not for the fact that it would be next to impos-sible to document the amount of money lost by this nefar-ious scheme, the ones responsible for it would be facing a class action lawsuit, and rightfully so.

Maybe some enterprising young lawyer should look into this.

It would sure beat chasing aft er ambulances.

Fred PerrySurrey

To the editor;Our federal government

has tabled legislation that will criminalize dissent.

Environmentalists are not terrorists threatening the state, but they do have a different vision as to how our country’s economy should grow and the direction it should take. This is hardly subversive. Our country

has a history where divergent views are not only accepted, but encouraged.

Up until recently this prac-tice has been not only accept-ed, but supported financially by our federal government.

To say that peaceful protest is criminal is to say Rosa Parks’ refusal to sit in the back of the bus because she was black,

or Mahatma Gandhi’s salt march was criminal. These two protests were instrumental in ending segregation in the U.S., and the British oppression of India respectively.

Both today are widely praised as brave opposition to oppressive state law.

I am worried that my be-loved country is sliding into a

police state where people are afraid to criticize government and government policy.

The threat of terrorism should not be used as an ex-cuse to limit peoples’ right to dissent.

To the editor

Are we sliding into a police state?


An open letter to Mayor and Council, and the community;

I was originally writing to you out of grave con-cern for the trees, forests and peoples of Cloverdale and the Clayton Heights subdivision area, an area bordering the Township of Langley. However, what came through in the writing of this letter is instead the strength of their story.

Ten years ago, there were still forests with hazel-nut trees, eagles, coyotes and rabbits and the odd hawk or so in the Clayton Heights area. Th ere was a little forest near our home that I would visit every day to replenish my soul, drinking in its life giving force.

Th e site which I refer to is where Katzie Elemen-tary School now stands; a school named aft er the Katzie Nation, First Peoples of this territory.

Th e day the trees were cut down, a crow called loudly at my window as though in great distress. I jumped out of bed and followed his call.

I found myself staring at the forest invaded by bulldozers and work crews with chainsaws in hand. Tears fi lled my eyes, as the sun shone brightly in the sky. Th ere were no birds to be heard other than the crows.

I thanked crow for doing his job of waking me and I walked into the little forest one last time. I breathed in her stillness expecting to feel sadness and despair from the forest. Instead I felt only love.

Immediately I was overcome with warmth and through a waterfall of tears I looked up to see the sun shining through their bows and hands as a gen-tle breeze danced with them one last time.

Th ey stood tall and gracefully erect, like smiling ladies walking into the ocean without a backwards glance. Th e taller older ones stood like warriors tall and proud; eyes and hearts wide open.

I sat in her peace, and melted into stillness as she embraced me, encircling me with her life giving force. I felt my soul sink into the spirit of the forest as we shared.

Th is is what was said: We are all a mirror of each other. Th e love I was feeling was my love, being mir-rored back to me. What we put out comes back to us tenfold. It returns to us in our generation, the generations that follow and reaches into the genera-tions that came before us.

We are all part of the great stitch in the fabric of life. Together we twist and turn and weave in and out of experiences and stories and moments.

To be mindful and present is the most diffi cult task of any human in our day and age; to slow time down to a crawl even if for only fi ve minutes a day.

We rush past everything so quickly in life, rarely listening to what others are sharing, rarely seeing with eyes wide open, and infrequently standing tall.

Th e faster we rush, the more plugged in we be-come to a technological world.

As we become separated from our earth, the less

energy we feed her and thus, the less we feed ourselves. Th e more disconnected we become from our true nature; the peaceful contentment of sitting and breathing.

Th e more we multitask, the more our authentic true vision becomes blurred. Th e easier it is to not care or declare, “Th at’s not important!”

Th e big buzzword in our environmen-tally conscious circles is “stewards of the earth”. If we are not able to see or even care or take note of the forest that is being cut down in our own backyard or the eagles that were there and now have left , how can we possibly be stewards of our earth? How can we possibly be stewards of ourselves much less our children’s and our Earth’s tomorrows? We are kept too busy paying bills to a system that feeds on keeping us blinded to what is real and true.

Th ere is hope though – our children are the ones who can be the way-showers of how to be genuine and connected. Yet we train them from very early ages to become separated from self. Laptops, iPhones, computer games are made readily avail-able. Children are “plugging in” to the system and becoming tech-savvy from the earliest of ages, some as young as two and-a-half. Th ey do not run outside. And when they do, where is the little forest for them to run and play in? How can they skin their knees scaling the trunk and hang from the boughs of these magnifi cent medicine be-ings known as trees?

Are we as a people, a human tribe, re-ally going to allow this to happen? Do you want this to happen? Every day there are trees being clear cut by the rapid develop-ment in Surrey and Langley communities.

To plant small saplings along a sidewalk is not the same as 10 old-growth cedars.

A grandmother tree was left behind on the southern side of the elementary school’s property because she bore an ea-gle’s nest. Th ank you to the eagles for leav-ing their mark in some way; because of them, the tree now stands to this day, sur-rounded by a fence and a circle of rocks.

Th e tree serves as the community bird haven. Sometimes at dusk, my ears are fl ooded with the harmony of dozens of diff erent birds: voices as they pow wow in her boughs, clicking and chirping, whir-ring and cooing.

I happen to know the children that at-tend Katzie Elementary are very proud and connected to their “Eagle Tree”. Th ey know intuitively that they belong to her and she belongs to them, linked within the passage of time.

A Little “Mussel” for ArthritisBy Christine Cheng, R.Ph. and Dr. Henry Cheng

With spring and all the good-weather activities just around the corner, this is a good time to review some nutritional remedies for arthritis. The Green Lipped Mussel (Perna Canaliculus) from New Zealand has proven its effectiveness for 15 years and remains one of the most time honoured natural arthritis remedies. The fl esh of the mussel is made of 9 different glycosaminoglycans (GAG’s) and is more effective than a glucosamine or a chondroitin alone. In herbal medicine we believe that the adjunct effect of 9 different ingredients in small amounts is more powerful than a large amount of one single ingredient. In the past 20 years, we have seen Perna work better than glucosamine alone. The fi rst generation of mussel supplement was made by dry freezing and lyophilizing the fl esh of the mussel and is marketed under the name of “Sea Mussel” by FoodScience. These are still highly in demand. The second generation that is now available in Canada (Maori Miracle®) utilizes an extract from the mussel called GlycoMarine™ that has anti-infl ammatory, Cox-2 inhibitory, chondroprotective and lubricating properties.

Thus, not only does it bring about pain-killing benefi ts, it also improves joint structure and mobility. Contrary to drugs, it actually promotes gastro-intestinal mucosal integrity. The glucosamine, chondroitin and hyaluronic acid contents are reinforced by Collagen Type II (Kolla2®) refi ned from chicken sternum cartilage. Kolla2 contains Hyaluronic Acid that is a component of cartilage and joint fl uid and hence essential for joint repair. The third component in Maori Miracle is a fatty acid ester called Cetyl-Myristoleate (Myristin®). This is not only a joint lubricant but also an immune modulator so it is effective also for rheumatoid arthritis which is a systemic auto-immune disease. The fatty acid ester also mediates histamine and leukotrene response hence it controls the damage caused by infl ammation. The fourth component is a popular herbal pain-killing and anti-infl ammatory agent called salicin extracted from White Willow Bark. The 4 components in Maori Miracle form a strong team in the fi ght against arthritis. The only contraindications are allergies or sensitivities to shellfi sh and aspirin.

If you want to make this combination even stronger, the 2 elements we suggest you can add to Maori Miracle® are MSM and anti-oxidants. Many successful formulae are made of the 3 classical ingredients: glucosamine, MSM and antioxidants. Anti-oxidants reduce the MSM into active sulfonyl groups which in

turn activate the glycosaminoglycan pathway in lubricating and repairing the joint. This cascade of events is being utilized in many successful formulae such as Recovery®. What is missing in Recovery® is a direct pain-killer. So if you compare the formula of Maori Miracle with that of Recovery, you will fi nd that the two products are in fact complementary to each other and can be used safely in combination.

In case this combination does not give you enough relief from your sufferings, you can add a catalyst that activates both the healing process and the anti-infl ammatory effect. This would be either in the form of an enzyme e.g. Curcumin, Curamed, Wobenzyme, and/or a homeopathic mixture e.g. Zeel Compositum, Traumeel, etc. As well, a topical homeopathic cream like Zeel or Traumeel can speed up the healing process. For those suffering from gouty arthritis, “Cherry Fruit Extract” by Enzymatic Therapy can help in both acute situations and to prevent future fl are-ups.

Poll gives No side big lead in Metro transit referendumHepner’s light rail ‘Plan B’ fuels opposition in Surrey: Canseco

By Jeff NagelA new poll now gives the No

side a strong lead in the Metro Vancouver transit improvement referendum.

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

It’s a reversal from earlier polls by the fi rm that had given the Yes side a four-point advantage as re-cently as January.

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

Th e latest survey was conduct-ed Feb. 12-14, aft er the TransLink board decided to replace CEO Ian Jarvis but keep him on as an advisor until mid-2016 rather than pay severance.

Aimed at improving public confi dence by installing a new CEO and a change of direction, the move has been widely criti-cized.

“As a short-term measure to instill confi dence in the voters, it failed,” Canseco said, noting just one in 10 voters say they trust TransLink to deliver new proj-ects eff ectively. “It clearly hasn’t helped the Yes side.”

Th e poll breaks down results by sub-region for the fi rst time.

It shows the strongest support

is in Vancouver and Richmond, with 48 per cent Yes support to 45 per cent No.

Th e most opposition comes South of the Fraser, with 62 per cent likely to vote No and 31 per cent Yes.

It’s a similar story on the North Shore, where 61 per cent are op-posed and 27 per cent in favour.

Burnaby, the Tri-Cities and Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows had 49 per cent likely No voters and 39 per cent in the Yes camp.

Th e level of undecided voters was six per cent in Vancouver, Richmond and South of the Fra-ser, and about 10 per cent else-where.

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

Canseco said the strong No vote South of the Fraser is sur-prising given the fact the area will be a main benefi ciary of the upgrades.

New Surrey Mayor Linda Hep-ner’s campaign promise to fi nd an alternate way to build light rail if the referendum fails appears to have fed the No forces, he said.

“Th e fact there was a hint or a mention of a Plan B to get that light rail system going has a lot of people saying ‘Why am I say-ing yes to a tax hike? Th ere’s no reason for me to vote and have a tax hike if the mayor has a solu-tion that’s not going to cost me money.’”

Canseco said the No cam-paign’s use of Hepner’s quotes

“shows you how confusing this move has been.”

He said opposition on the North Shore is more logical.

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

Canseco said he doesn’t see the Yes campaign as a lost cause, par-ticularly as ballots won’t arrive until the second half of March and voters could keep them around for several weeks before marking them.

But he said the mayors must fi nd diff erent messaging that works, particularly on drivers who are so far skeptical of the benefi ts and not yet swayed by warnings of crushing congestion in the years ahead under a status quo transit system.

Asked if the province could make changes to TransLink that would infl uence the outcome, Canseco said he doubts that will happen, given recent comments by the premier and transporta-tion minister pushing responsi-bility fi rmly at the mayors.

“You start to see why they made this decision in the fi rst place,” Canseco said of the government’s condition of a referendum for any new tax. “If the Yes side were to win, it simplifi es matters and makes them look like geniuses. If the No side wins, then it’s the mayors’ fault. Th ey couldn’t cam-paign well. Th ey couldn’t connect with their constituents.”

Pipeline fi rm defends secrecyKinder Morgan offi cials are defending their de-

cision to withhold portions of an emergency re-sponse plan from the public in B.C. even though similar details about the proposed Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion have been disclosed in Wash-ington State.

President Ian Anderson on Friday denied the company is trying to hide anything, but cited se-curity risks that would fl ow from posting complete plans showing the locations of critical valves and access points along the pipeline route and other as-pects of its planned response to spill scenarios.

Regulations are diff erent in the U.S., where Kind-er Morgan’s detailed emergency plan for a section of the pipeline was posted online by Washington’s Department of Ecology.

No such requirement was made by the National Energy Board but the fi rm has pledged to make the full document avail-able to the provincial government – which has re-peatedly pressed for its release – as well as munici-palities and fi rst responders along the route.

A heavily redacted version of the plan was re-leased by Trans Mountain last fall, erasing details

about response times, worst case scenarios and a map of public evacuation zones.

Th e proposed $5.4-billion expansion would triple the capacity of the existing Trans Mountain pipeline to 890,000 barrels of oil per day.

Migrant arrest policy changedTransit Police say they will no longer detain un-

documented migrants on behalf of the Canada Bor-der Services Agency without a warrant.

Th e decision follows an inquest into the suicide in CBSA custody at YVR of a Mexican woman awaiting deportation who was fi rst stopped in a fare

check by Transit Police.Spokesperson Anne Drennan said the

force does not wish to be seen as an arm of border agents. Critics had said the col-laboration of the Transit Police had eff ec-tively turned Metro Vancouver’s transit

system into a border checkpoint.Transit Police continue to use fare checks to fi nd

and apprehend suspects wanted on warrants by other police forces.

Customers show love for Surrey animalsBy Jennifer LangTh e BC SPCA’s Surrey Education and Adoption Cen-

tre in Cloverdale recently got a boost from the Newton Branch of Van City Savings.

Th e credit union collected $1,102 towards the Surrey BC SPCA’s upcoming Animal Lovers Gala, an evening of dining and entertainment in support of abused, homeless and injured animals in the community.

Th e 11th annual event takes place March 7 at North-view Golf and Country Club.

Van City members helped raise the branch’s donation by contributing second-hand books for the cause. The Newton branch then sold those books – also by dona-tion.

Th e Animal Lovers Gala is an important fundraiser for the BC SPCA Surrey Education and Adoption Centre at 16748 50 Avenue – second only to Paws for a Cause.

Manager Rodney Weleschuk said proceeds will be used for all aspects of care related to the animals the branch assists, including vet treatments for the spay and neuter program.

“Some of the proceeds will be used to care for horses

and other farm animals in our newly-renovated horse barn,” he said.

Th e BC SPCA receives no government funding and is supported entirely by private donations, he added.

“Our new BC SPCA centre in Surrey is now up and running and we are grateful to members of our com-munity for supporting events such as our gala so that we can make a life-saving diff erence for the most vulnerable animals in our region,” says volunteer and gala organizer Michelle Grant.

Th e event features a cocktail reception, live and silent auctions, gourmet dinner and live music.

“It is an educational and fun evening and a way for people and business to connect with other supporters all while helping the animals,” Grant added.

Tickets to the Animal Lovers Gala are available online at spca.bc.ca/surreygala or by phone at 604-862-0442. For more information or sponsorship opportunities, email [email protected].

It runs from 5:30 p.m. to midnight (dinner at 6:30 p.m.). Tickets are $125, or $1,000 for a table of 10. North-view Golf and Country Club is at 6857 168 Street, Surrey.

Are you ready for a pint-sizedbundle of love in your life?

Good things come insmall packages

March is Small Animal Month at the BC SPCA, highlighting the hundreds of

hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits and other small animals who are surrendered

to shelters each year and who are in need of loving homes.

Small animals are often overlooked for adoption, perhaps because peo-

ple don’t see them as “real” pets. But rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, rats and

hamsters come with delightful and inquisitive personalities, fascinating

behaviours and the ability to enrich our lives.

Did you know, for instance, that domestic rats make wonderful pets for

children? They’re smart, sociable and love to learn tricks and interact with

their guardians.

Small animals are great for people who have pet restrictions where they

live. They don’t take up a lot of space or make much noise. But small ani-

mals do have unique care needs and, as with cats and dogs, people should

familiarize themselves with the

animal’s characteristics to

ensure a suitable match.

So, before you head out to

a BC SPCA shelter to adopt,

check out our pet care pages fi rst

to learn what you need to do to

keep your potential pet happy

and healthy. Then, should you

feel ready to bring a small animal

(or two!) into your life, check our

adoption listings (spca.bc.ca) or

stop by a shelter to fi nd one just

right for you.

“It’s a huge honour to win a medal in my home province.” Tardi told the Prince George Citizen.

“We did our province proud and that’s all we can ask for.” Team BC earned 41 medals dur-ing the fi rst week of the Canada Winter Games.

Six Surrey athletes will compete during the sec-ond week of the Canada Winter Games. Pin Kuan Ho, who has placed in

Don’t be shy, say ‘Hi’ – at work, and at your business

Th e Surrey RCMP and the Cloverdale Dis-trict Offi ce is requesting your assistance in our Neighbourhood Safety Campaign.

In January, the Sur-rey RCMP launched a Neighbourhood Safety Campaign and a series of community engage-ment presentations have commenced city-wide.

Th e objective of the meetings is to provide residents of Surrey with the necessary knowl-edge, tools and skills to mobilize their commu-nity in order to enhance the safety and livability of their neighbourhood.

Th ese engagement meetings will address specifi c areas of concern in your community in order to create a safer neighbourhood.

Prior to these meet-ings, a crime analysis is conducted to determine what issues may be hav-ing a negative impact on your day to day life.

We held our initial meeting in Clayton ear-lier this month.

Th roughout 2015, there will be scheduled meetings across the city in various neighbour-hoods.

Information on the dates and locations will be posted on the Surrey RCMP website at www.surreyrcmp.ca, and will be made available at your local RCMP Dis-trict offi ce.

I want to share with you some of my ob-servations as a local resident. Hopefully, at the very least, it may give you some food for thought.

I have noticed gener-

ally most of us know or interact with our im-mediate neighbours or acknowledge people as they pass by on the sidewalk.

However, the major-ity of us would be hard pressed to state that we know our neighbours fi ve houses or condos away from us.

It is my opinion that the collective “we” should make an eff ort to rectify this.

Aside from the obvi-ous benefi t of the sense of community, it has also been proven to be an eff ective way to fur-

ther enhance our neigh-bourhood safety.

If I am someone who is planning on commit-ting a property crime in your neighbourhood, the last thing I want is someone acknowledg-ing my presence in the area.

Greeting someone as they enter a business is standard practice in the retail industry. It is good customer service.

Th e second benefi t to this practice is that it is eff ective in reducing their shrinkage or theft from the business.

Please stay engaged with your community and meet your neigh-bours.

Consider joining or forming a Block Watch.

Block Watch encour-ages residents to take a proactive approach to crime prevention and safety. Th rough education on target hardening, property marking, and report-ing suspicious activity, Block Watch provides a means for the commu-

nity to take responsibil-ity for its own safety by reducing the opportu-nity for crime. Last year, 90 new Block Watch groups were formed in Surrey.

If you would like to join an existing Block Watch or if you’re in-terested in starting a Block Watch for your area, please contact our Crime Prevention Co-ordinator Jody Nelson at 604-502-6265.

In addition, the Cloverdale/Port Kells RCMP offi ce is located at 5732 176A Street and welcomes your visit.

RCMP • GRCRCMP • GRC

Cloverdale/Port Kells District Commander Sgt. Dan Gibbons

let’s talk about it...

The majority of us would be hard-pressed to state that we know our neighbours fi ve

houses or condos away.

My other parents are greatThese days it is pretty

common to have a step-parent or two in your

life. Th ese people enter our lives without much input from us. Th ey fall in love with our parents and then take on the challenge of being a steppar-ent. It can be a messy business. Th ey come with their set of rules and habits and we come with ours. It’s why the term ‘blended family’ is used. Add in teenager drama and hurt, confused feelings left over from a divorce and you get a mixed bag of emotions.

I come from a broken home. I have a stepmom and a stepdad. I met my stepmom Lynda when I was in elemen-tary school. I was a frustrated pre-teen and a bit moody. At 15, I moved in with my dad and Lynda. I was an angry, somewhat depressed teen. Lynda had never had children. Taking me on must have been daunting.

Th e thing is, as a young per-son, I never considered how hard it must have been to be a step-parent to myself and my brothers. Looking back at that time with my now adult eyes, I can see that she did the best

she could. She loved me the way she knew how. She put in the eff ort to get to know me, and shared things she liked to do with me.

I have a great relationship with her now and I don’t like to use the term stepmom to describe her. I lived with her for a few of the most chal-lenging years of my life. She gave me her time and her love. Th at’s why, when I dedicated part of my book to her, I called her my Second Mom. Th at is what she is. She helped raise me.

I met my second stepdad,

Steve, when I was 17. I was a much happier person by that time but still fragile. He has been there for me through three signifi cant heartbreaks, many jobs and a complete mental breakdown. Like Lynda, we haven’t always seen eye to eye, but he has always

shown me love, plus he gives great hugs. I consider him my Second Dad.

Stepparents get a bad name. Even in cartoons they are depicted as cruel; evil. I used to think of my step-parents that way sometimes. I could only see how much change I had to endure. I couldn’t see how much they had to change; to give up. It wasn’t until I was an adult that I was able to really appreciate just how challenging it must have been for Lynda and Steve to enter my world.

I watched my own mother tackle being a stepparent. I saw her struggle to enforce rules while not being the ‘real parent’ to my stepsisters. I saw how hard she tried to be there for them. It was a tumultuous time. Looking back at her role made me acknowledge how it must have been for Lynda and for Steve.

Now that I am older and hopefully wiser, I’m able to see

my second parents as people. I know that they messed up sometimes, but so did my biologi-cal parents. So did I. Stepparents don’t oft en get the same amount of respect and level of forgiveness as biological parents. Th at’s really too bad. Th ey work very hard. Th ey do

what they can. Now, I’m not talking about

those stepparents that live up to the cartoon depiction of cruel or evil. Th ose exist too. I’ve had one of those myself. However, if you have a step-parent who really has been there for you, who really has tried to be good to you, take some time to really let them know that you appreciate that.

Tell them you get just how much they have done for you. Th ey are the unsung members of the family but they don’t have to be. Make sure they know they are appreciated.

‘Th ey Left Us Everything’, but what will we pass along?As emails replace letters slipped into desks and drawers, what might the next generation lose?

They Left Us Everything”, a memoir by On-

tario-born author Plum Johnson is a poignant, heartwarming, tale of … decluttering.

When Johnson faces the daunting task of readying the 23-room lakeside family home in Oakville, Ontario, for sale aft er the death of her mother, she is surprised that the task unearths unexpected insights into the lives, loves, and personalities of her parents. Sur-rounded by memories and memorabilia, de-tails begin to material-ize providing her with a deeper insight into who her very independent parents really were, and how they thought.

Browsing through Cloverdale library, Johnson’s book at-tracted me because I had begun sift ing through my own clutter. Blame it on January , but I’d been hit with a bout of the “Geez, I’ve gotta get rid of all this stuff . Th e kids won’t give a damn about it when I’m gone,” sort of blues.

Like Johnson’s mother, my mother had also squirrelled away bags of old letters, clip-pings and other odds and ends not only from me, but from the rest of our extended Scottish clan.

By coincidence, Johnson had sift ed through ‘everything’ near Clarkson, where I had spent my own pre-teen years creating a familiarity with the book’s location.

As Th ey Left Us Ev-erything illustrated, old documents can reveal much we don’t know

about people, places, incidents – and, fre-quently, undiscovered, or little understood, family history.

As Johnson sift s through ‘everything’ her mother and father ‘left ’ her, seeds for the memoir she will even-tually write are sewn by letters, photographs, scents, and sounds

cropping up around her lakeside childhood home.

Like Plum Johnson, my family trekked from one end of the globe to the other following a father serving in the Navy. Fortunes fl uctu-ated, but adventure invariably hovered on the horizon.

How much will the next generation miss as today’s emails replace letters arriving by mail and slipped into draw-ers and trunks? What, or who, will accurately document family his-tory, conversations, humour, dramas? Will anyone care?

Letters throughout history linked fami-lies who didn’t have the luxury of cashing in airmiles to dash to

distant parts of the globe. My parents and I post-war pioneered in the Ontario ‘bush’ in the late 1940s and early 1950s a matter of miles from where Plum Johnson grew up. I pictured my own mother, undaunted by a temporary lack of furniture, perched on an orange crate briskly typing on her portable Underwood (precari-ously balanced on a similar crate).

Mother’s fi rst query to anyone when we ar-rived at a new location was, “Where’s the li-brary?” Not only was it her link to books, but it connected her person-ally with like-minded individuals and the local community.

Following Plum Johnson’s example, I ferreted further into my own ‘inheritance’.

Letters from editors still tucked into airmail

envelopes reminded me that, like all writers of her era, Mother had carefully typed double-space manuscripts and articles, included a SASE (Self Addressed Stamped Envelope), and anxiously checked the Royal Mail for rejection slips – or cheques. Generally, that took six weeks.

If emails had been the order of the day the comments and amounts paid would have vanished into cyberspace. Instead, here they were – and to my surprise they

bore a great similarity to communiques from today’s newspaper and magazine industry.

In her book, Plum Johnson refl ects (about

her mother): “I had more than sixty years to ask questions, but the questions didn’t form until aft er she’d gone. Now there are ques-tions I didn’t even know I had.”

Perhaps Plum John-son’s book, and the above observations, will prompt you to tackle your own memoir, ask questions, keep a written diary, or do some detective work into your own family history. If you don’t, someone will wish you had.

Th ey Left Us Every-thing is available on-line, or from your local library.

Th e Cloverdale branch of Surrey Li-braries has an extensive genealogy collection with over 5,000 micro-fi lms and 2,700 books. For more information call 604-598-7328, or surf SPL Family History web pages.
