Looking for change
By Jennifer LangFive years a� er the death of her
father, Cloverdale’s Rita McDon-nell is still demanding better pro-tection for B.C.’s seniors.
Rita’s father, Gary Davis, a re-tired postal worker, was 68 when he passed away in 2009 a� er devel-oping bedsores and hospital infec-tions in a long-term care facility in Langley.
He’d initially been hospitalized for an aneurism in his groin, and his medical condition was too complex to bring him home. He spent time at Royal Columbian and Langley Memorial hospitals, where he developed bedsores, something McDonnell says wasn’t brought to the family’s attention until the situ-ation was serious.
“I was naive at the time, think-ing bedsores were tiny, but they weren’t,” McDonnell says, referring to a photo showing a photo of a gaping hole about the size of a ten-nis ball in her father’s back.
“I wanted to know why he smelled so bad,” she says. She had no idea what was happening, and so began asking questions.
He was later transferred to a long-term care facility in Langley, but he still didn’t heal.
As another Father’s Day arrives without him, there were other dis-turbing incidents that still haunt the family. One day, McDonnell says she was visiting the facility with her children and they could hear screams coming from her fa-ther’s room.
� e nurse le� , and a� er they went in, her father pulled her close and said, “Rita, make sure you know who that nurse is. He’s too rough with me.”
She says her father was also neglected and starved. But com-plaints seemed to fall on deaf ears.
Before his death, her father even-tually lost both legs due to compli-cations from the bedsores.
“� e only thing he ever wanted was justice for what happened to him, but you cannot get justice. If you get put in a home, you have no legal rights. Your rights are taken away,” says McDonnell, whose family’s story is featured in a new documentary that premiered this spring called Hope is Not A Plan.
Directed by Colin Andrew Ford, Hope is Not A Plan looks at the consequences for Canadians with disabilities through the eyes of Paul Caune, director of Civil Rights Now, a non-pro� t organization of people with disabilities.
� e � lm, which is now avail-able for streaming at UrbanSher-paFilms.com, points out that 56
per cent of Canadians over the age of 75 are disabled, suggesting it’s an issue that many Canadians will in-evitably grapple with.
� e � lm argues people with dis-abilities who are in care do not have a practical way to enforce civil rights guaranteed to them under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms when things go
wrong, making them vulnerable to abuse and neglect.
� e � lm looks at several cases across Canada, including Rita’s story, uncovering some disturbing facts along the way. For instance: according to the B.C. Ombudsper-son, quoted in 2012, “� e Minis-
Top Chef claims title for Cloverdale By Martha PerkinsA mother knows.A few days a� er her 15-year-old son Matt
started his high cooking course at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary School, Brenda Stowe knew her son’s other career goals — including being a sports reporter — were on the chopping block.
“He was won over by the kitchen in Cloverdale,” she said Monday night a� er watching Matt crowned as Top Chef Can-ada on the Season 3 � nale.
Turns out wives also know their hus-band’s destiny. When Stowe unpacked his bags to begin his eight-week � lming
stint last August, he found a note from his wife Amber. As well as all the usual “good lucks”, she wrote that she’d had a dream that she’d be on the � nale, too, with their now 19-month-old son Gavin.
And there they were, walking onto the stage to congratulate Matt as the Food Net-work’s cameras caught their every joy-� lled emotion seconds a� er the announcement was made.
Watching all this unfold at a packed viewing party at the Coal Harbour Cactus Club Café were the Stowes, including his vast, extended family, Richard Ja� ray, the owner of Cactus Club Cafe, where Stowe
works on developing new menus, friends, wellwishers and dozens of media.
One of the very few people in the res-taurant who knew the outcome was Stowe himself. But as he kept loosening his shirt collar under the stare of every person and camera in the room, you’d think he was just as anxious to discover the outcome.
“� at was an extremely hard secret to keep,” he told the crowd.
Stowe’s � nal � ve-course menu was a trip down memory lane. It was all about mile-stones in his life — real ones, not just ones he thought would impress the judges. For

try of Health does not require care staff to re-port information indi-cating seniors receiving residential care services are being abused or ne-glected.”
Further, B.C.’s Health Ministry doesn’t require service providers to no-tify police if an incident of abuse or neglect that may constitute a crimi-nal offense, the film states.
Recalling her father’s last years and months, McDonnell says she felt powerless. “I trusted the
hospitals and the care homes.”
In telling her story she says she only wants to bring awareness to other families.
“I talk to people in my age group, but they don’t seem to under-stand,” she says.
“If it doesn’t change now, it’s going to happen to us in our old age,” she warns. “We need real justice. Real accounta- bility,” she says, adding people need to be more vigilant when it comes to the care of elderly rel-atives in seniors homes, extended care facilities and hospitals.
“In the beginning, I was so naive. I wish I knew more questions to ask.”
In 2008, McDonnell filed a complaint with the B.C. government’s patient care Quality Review Board, which concluded the matter raised several care qual-ity concerns, according to according to Lois Sampson, an advocate who writes a blog called Seniors At Risk.
The response came on Dec. 21, 2012. Gary Davis had since passed away.
Sampson also points out a letter to McDon-
nell from the Ombud-sperson’s manager of system review says “…we did not investigate your complaint.”
“Instead,” writes Sampson, “they chose to keep the file open to ‘help inform our sys-temic investigation into senior’s (sic) care,’ refer-ring to the Ombudsper-son’s report entitled, The Best of Care: Get-ting it Right for Seniors in British Columbia.”
“In other words,” Sampson writes, “the Ombudsperson’s Office did nothing at all about Gary Davis’ horrific two years of neglect and rough care at the hands of publicly funded hos-pital and long-term care facilities and staff.”
Since Davis’ bed-sores were so severe, his bones and organs were visible, Sampson believes, “These are not injuries caused by lack of call-bell response time standards, this is systemic institutional elder abuse.”
Meanwhile, the mem-ory of what her father went through lingers for the McDonnells, who live in Cloverdale.
This spring, their daughter, Sara, 18, con-ceived and produced a music video titled For Grandparents – Break-ing the Silence of Insti-tutional Elder Abuse, along with her friend Alexa Tarrayo. Sara sings and plays guitar in the video, titled. It’s set to the tune, “When I’m Sixty-Four.”
“This song has brought my family so many happy memo-ries,” it starts off. “Now it stands for so much more.”
Since coming forward several years ago, Rita McDonnell has been contacted by others with their own stories.
“They’re scared. They don’t know what to do,” says McDonnell. “You have to talk about it, otherwise nothing changes.”

Public memorial to celebrate Reid’s life
By Jennifer LangA community celebration of Bill Re-
id’s life is planned for this Saturday at the Cloverdale Recreation Centre.
News of Reid’s passing two weeks ago sparked an outpouring of tributes from politicians, business leaders and com-munity members.
He was named Surrey’s Good Citi-zen of the Year in April in recogni-tion of his 50 years in public service, from his days as a Delta alderman, to White Rock-Surrey MLA, minister of tourism, and, more recently, executive director of the Cloverdale District
Chamber of Commerce, where he was a tireless champion for a broad range of causes, from anti-crime ini-tiatives and heritage to homelessness, and improving the local business cli-mate.
The public memorial for Reid starts at 12 p.m., Saturday, June 15 at the Clo-verdale Rec Centre, 6188 176 Street.
A reception and refreshments to fol-low. Everyone is welcome.
In lieu of flowers, Reid’s family has asked that donations be made to the CH.I.L.D. Foundation and the Launch-ing Pad Recovery Society.

To the editor;Read with great interest your recent article
on the vintage trucks museum opening and thought you’d want information on what ap-pears to be a missing chapter in the history of that collection. (“Vintage Truck Museum rev-ving up for visitors,” May 9.)
By way of background, during the years 1969-88 I headed the Royal B.C. Museum’s human history division during which Aubrey King’s widow was convinced by local media persons, Alan Clapp and Alyn Edwards, to preserve them. � ey then persuaded Ernie Hall, Provincial Secretary in Dave Barrett’s NDP government, to take the vehicles as a do-nation to the Crown. In Clapp’s words, “� is is working mens’ history, Ernie; you have to save them!”
A warehouse on the north side of False Creek became the storage and workshop building, and according to Jim Winter, who later joined the mechanical team of Lloyd Barrett and Gil Cornish, both former King employees, that pair immediately began restoring the trucks. As Winter says: “Gil Cornish [had] started to work for Bob King in the early Forties. Prior to that he was driving a truck (from age 12 in 1932) in Vancouver delivering � rewood he cut himself from the forests of Marpole. Later [he worked] for Bruce Cartage circa 1938.
“Lloyd Barrett started working for his father at Central Transfer very early and stayed on when {his] father sold the company to King. Lloyd ended up as dispatcher for both Central and other King companies, I believe. Both men
joined the WW2 e� ort, so their trucking careers were interrupted for wartime . . . . I [Jim Winter] went to work with Gil a� er Lloyd retired circa 1980. Gil retired about 1985 prior to our move to Cloverdale. Tom Wiebe replaced Gil for a short time and assisted me at Expo ‘86 and with the move to Cloverdale.”
In the late ‘70s, the RBCM (then B.C. Pro-vincial Museum) in Victoria was assigned full responsibility for the collection and sta me-chanics.
About this time, the collection was moved to a new warehouse on Viking Way in Richmond, BC. Here the public was welcome to drop-in and view the equipment and talk to the me-chanics while the latter worked. Our director in Victoria, a wildlife mammologist, had ut-terly no interest in either the vehicles or the operation. He connected through a temporary employee, Dave Holm, who he hired to work there as his administrative link. During a spate of layo s, Holm, who had performed well, was let go, and I, Dan Gallacher, picked up the cu-ratorial reins part time by visiting from Victo-ria a day a week.
In addition to a major e ort to supply dis-play vehicles for Expo 86, sta – both as orga-nizers and drivers – provided trucks for mov-ies, television, parades, and other civic events across the Lower Mainland. � eir inputs were exceptional and widely appreciated.
� e trucks’ next phase began in late 1986 under Bill Reid’s leadership when, as Minister of Tourism and Heritage, he established the Heritage Transportation Centre headed ulti-
mately by the very able Sue Morhun at the Clo-verdale Mall. Winter and I collaborated post-Expo with several other transportation history holdings to bring as many vintage vehicles as we could under one roof. Among the most en-thusiastic and helpful participants were Rose and Ed Zaleski (aircra� ), Hall MacKenzie (automobiles), and members of the BC Hydro history group (buses).
For various reasons, the HTC struggled to � nd a solid footing, and, ironically, su ered an undeserved ignominious demise under the NDP government of the ‘90s that, for parti-san aims, was very eager to shut it down and disperse the holding. By this time I had been seconded to the new national museum in Ot-tawa and it was le� to Jim Winter, Rick John-ston (HTC board member), and my former RBCM colleague, Jim Wardrop, to � nd new homes for the vehicles from one end of B.C. to another.
As I initially intimated, this can help � ll in a highly important part of the vintage vehi-cles’ story, both for you as a key person in the Cloverdale community, and those folks who presently are preserving and displaying the collection. I truly hope they will give Cornish, Barrett, Winter, and others of years ago their deserved recognition.

By Alex BrowneThree Surrey BC Liberal MLAs – including
Surrey-Cloverdale’s Stephanie Cadieux – have been chosen for posts in Premier Christy Clark’s new cabi-net announced last week at an outdoor ceremony at Canada Place.
Cadieux returns as minister of children and family development in her second term as MLA (she previously represented Surrey-Panorama, but ran in her home riding of Surrey-Cloverdale after the retirement of former MLA Kevin Falcon).
In her first term, she also served as min-ister of social development, minister of labour, citizens’ services and open govern-ment and minister of community, sport and cultural development.
Minister of education is Peter Fassbender, newly-elected as Surrey-Fleetwood MLA following an ex-tensive career in municipal politics in Langley City, where he was first elected to council in 2002, and was
subsequently elected mayor in the 2005, 2008 and 2011 civic elections.
Newly-elected Surrey-Tynehead MLA Amrik Virk becomes minister of advanced education. His extensive RCMP career has included being Surrey’s
acting Officer in Charge and Langley’s Of-ficer in Charge. He has also served on the boards of Surrey Memorial Hospital Foun-dation and Kwantlen Polytechnic Univer-sity.
Another politician well-known in Sur-rey, Langley MLA Mary Polak – former trustee and chair of Surrey School Board and a member of the Legislature since 2005 – has been named the new minister of environment.
Along with Clark’s other nominees for the executive council, the three Surrey
cabinet members were sworn in Monday by Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon.

Pet project: animal outreachBy Jennifer LangWhen Cloverdale’s
Ashley Fruno arrived in the Philippines to work for animal welfare causes she probably didn’t realize she’d take on a separate project of her own – caring for some dogs and cats in an economically depressed corner of the city of Pasay.
Every Saturday morning Fruno, 26, leads a small team of volunteers to a bus station and an impov-erished neighbour-hood. Several hundred residents, and about 80 cats and dogs, call the area home.
Fruno’s team pro-vides basic veterinary needs such as parasite control, treating minor wounds, providing flea and tick preven-tion, and curing skin conditions like scarcop-tic mange and fungal infections.
“We also provide food, love, baths, walks for chained dogs, toys, and when owners agree to give their animal a better life, adoption,” says Fruno, a Clayton Heights Secondary grad and third generation Cloverdalian who has been footing the bill for the pet outreach venture largely on her own.
For the past six years, Fruno has worked for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA Asia.
She says readers may
recognize her as one of the protesters outside the Cloverdale Rodeo each year.
In hopes of spaying and neutering another 60 animals in Pasay, she’s launched an online fundraising drive to collect $5,000.
For her birthday on July 12 this year, rather than gifts or parties, she would like to see the rest of the area’s animals spayed or neu-tered – something that will help reduce future expenses of caring for the group, and would reduce the popula-tions of dogs and cats, aiding “the people who struggle desperately to care for the animals they already have,”
she says. If any money is left over, she’ll use the funds to provide treatment for sarcoptic mange, a serious prob-lem for dogs in rural areas of the Philippine, and to provide regular deworming treatment to working horses on the island of the Taal volcano.
“I”m just one person working in a small community, but for these animals and these people, it changes their entire world,” she says.
She’s come to think of the bus station and the neighbourhood around it as her home away from home.
“I love arriving and hearing people call ‘doktora’ (because they
refuse to believe I am not a doctor),” she says.
Leading by example is having an effect; she is thrilled when she sees bowls filled with fresh water or notices some-one bathing their pet.
She’s amazed at how well the people in the area treat her: other women defend her if she’s being harassed, and mind her backpack when she chases off after another ailing cat or dog.
The Philippines is a poverty-stricken coun-try, says Fruno, who thinks a lack of educ-tion and resources helps explain the country’s cat and dog problem.
“People just don’t know what the animals need, and don’t have the means to provide it.”
So why not help people instead? “The truth is there are so many worthy causes, and the area where I care for the dogs and cats is very poor, but I know that by help-ing the animals there, I am also helping the people,” she says.
“People want to care for their animals, and they are so grateful for the assistance. They love their animals and they want to do the best they can for them. I am committed to helping them do that.”

CONTRIBUTTED PHOTOAshley Fruno, left, and another volunteer administer help to a pet dog in Pasay, Philippines.
By caring for pets, Ashley Fruno says she’s helping Pasay’s people, too
instance, the roasted halibut chow-der was the first dish he ever cooked for Amber when they were dating. The dessert was a refined S’Mores (complete with scorched marshmal-low) that harkened back to child-hood camping trips.
“He says food should take you back to a memory, just the way mu-sic does,” Amber told Black Press.
As well as praising his wife, his family, Stowe thanked the man who gave him his start — his high school culinary teacher, Guy Ethier.
“It’s because I took that course that I’m here today,” Stowe said. “I can’t thank him enough. He was a huge influence.”
A very surprised Ethier was watching from the Cactus Club’s ter-race. “For him to credit me is ironic. Matt could already cook when he started the course. It was from Matt that I learned how to roast a tomato.”
Ethier says that at the time, he was chairman of Skills Canada BC and president of the Canadian Federa-tion of Chefs and Cooks so he knew of competitions that Matt could enter and start making a name for himself. “I opened some doors but Matt did all the work,” Ethier says.
Ethier says that the Matt he saw on the screen was the same one he saw 15 years ago in class — polite, determined to succeed and a highly technical, skilled chef. “It’s like he hasn’t aged a day,” Ethier says, shak-ing his head. “I think it’s something in the Stowe gene.”
Stowe credits his upbringing, too.
“My dad taught us all a really strong work ethic and about staying true to the course,” Stowe says of Norman Stowe, founder of the Pace Group communications company (and Kevin Falcon’s leadership campaign manager.) Matt and his five siblings were athletic and always on the go.
Their mother was always there for them, including being in the kitchen so they could enjoy a home-cooked meal.
“She committed that part of her life so we could have a great child-hood.”
It was Amber who pushed Matt into applying for one of the 16 spots on the show.
Also watching from the Cactus Club’s terrace was last year’s final-ist, Trevor Bird, who launch his own restaurant, Fable, on West 4th , off the fame he garnered as a Season 2 finalist.
“I was nervous for the guy,” Bird said of what it was like to watch Stowe on the screen and being one of the few people in the crowd to have been on the same rollercoaster ride.
Bird said winning the title would be “life-changing, incredible” for Stowe, who will be under immense pressure in the coming months as he juggles work demands, being in the media spotlight and his family.
“It’s huge,” Bird says, his own mind going back to when he watched last year’s finals at Fable.
“You’re putting yourself out to a nation [and winning is] like a light-ning bolt to your career.”

A tank crushing cars as part of an authentic mil-itary equipment display is sure to be a highlight at the Cloverdale Legion’s upcoming open house.
The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 6 will be opening its doors on June 22 as part of Legion Week, inviting the public to drop by and check them out.
The military equipment is coming to Cloverdale from the Canadian Military Education Centre, a non-profit museum society based in Chilliwack.
Along with Branch 6 and Ladies’ Auxiliary members, several other organizations will be on hand with displays in the auditorium.
Townline Development will have a display on the legion’s proposed new home, plus representatives from three cadet groups will be there: the Seaforth Highlanders 2277, Mariners, and the 746 Air Cadet Squadron.
There will be a free breakfast from 9 to 11 a.m., official opening ceremonies, free lunch, and more.
There will also be a 50/50 draw, with proceeds go-ing to the Surrey Food Bank.
The official opening is at noon, and lunch is served up from 12:30 to 3 p.m. The Cloverdale Le-gion is located at 17567 57 Avenue. For more infor-mation, visit www.cloverdale.bc.ca/legion.

Surrey Rebel (Team 2) Quintin Steinmann runs

at the Cloverdale Arena on June 8. The non-competi-
tive tournament attracted eight teams of players

fering to celebrate dad on his special day.
The winery has teamed up with Beast & Brine Local Provisions for Wine and Swine on June 16, a fundraiser for Pacific Assistance Dogs Society (PADS).
Beast & Brine Chef Ryan Bissell will be cooking up an afternoon of local bacon paired with wines. Think panc-etta, proscuitto, candied bacon, back bacon, lamb bacon and more. “You really can’t go wrong with bacon for Fathers’ Day,” says Bissell.
And, if that’s not enough temptation, tast-ings will be topped with bourbon bacon donuts by Cartems Donuterie. Plus, wine-themed PADS puppies-in-train-ing – including Pinot, Syrah, Merlot, Grigrio, Bacchus, Verdot, Mal-bec and Gamay – will also be on hand.
The PADS society trains assistance dogs for people with disabili-ties and helps support their client/dog teams throughout the working life of the dog.
Entry is $15 for adults, $8 for kids, with proceeds going to sup-port PADS. Township 7 Vineyards and Winery is at 21152 16 Avenue in Langley. Email [email protected] or call 604-532-1766. More info at township7.com.
