Spokesman goes east

Farewell to SurreyTracy HolmesStaff Reporter

Thursday was a big day for Bert Paquet. It was likely the last day he’ll ever work in B.C.

And he admits it comes with mixed feelings.

The corporal has been the face of Surrey RCMP since the fall of 2012, when he began what was to be just a two-week stint handling the detachment’s media section.

Two-and-a-half years later, he’s taking a pro-motion to head up media/com-munications for the RCMP’s “D” Division – the province of Man-itoba – which is head-quartered in Winnipeg.

“Our friends were really good to us over Christmas, knowing where we were going,” he chuckled, of the ribbing that flowed freely from the moment he shared word of his new address. “We received a lot of toques, mittens and mosquito spray.”

Paquet, 50, acknowledged he is ending his tenure in Surrey in the middle of what could be described as chaos, as the city – police and citizens alike – struggles to bring a peaceful end to a weeks-long drug-turf war that, just 10 days ago, claimed its first life.

Alleged online offence made public as White Rock council revisits in-camera process

Chesney censured over ‘defamation’

Criticism unmentioned

MP toutspositive reaction to his billAlex BrowneStaff Reporter

MP Russ Hiebert is claiming a victory for his contentious private member’s bill seeking full disclosure of labour organization spending, following a day of testimony last week before a Senate committee.

In a news release titled ‘C-377 Sen-ate Hearings Confirm Bill Needed and Lawful’ – following Thursday’s hearing of the Senate’s Legal and Constitutional Affairs Committee – he said “many of today’s witnesses confirmed (the bill) will deliver real benefits for Canadians in improved transparency and accountability for labour organizations.”

Not mentioned in the South Sur-rey-White Rock-Cloverdale MP’s release is that the committee also heard that day from representatives of the Canadian Bar Association and the Association of Justice Coun-sel, both of which oppose the bill as an attack on labour unions.

The Senate had previously rejected Bill C-377 in June 2013. Its decision was nullified due to Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s decision to pro-rogue Parliament that fall.

White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin announced Monday that a councillor was censured by his city colleagues last month after publishing comments that city lawyers considered to be defamatory.

A motion of censure was passed against Coun. David Chesney at a March 23 in-camera meeting, according to a state-ment read by Baldwin, who explained the reprimand resulted in Chesney’s

removal from committees and the dep-uty-mayor rotation until January 2016. (Council had approved a new rotation list April 13, but Baldwin said then that city officials could not comment because the decision was made in-camera.)

“The censure was a result of Coun. Chesney as publisher/editor of the White Rock Sun acting in a manner unbecoming of a city councillor and not in accordance with city policy, respectful workplace policy 405, whereby com-

ments considered to be defamatory were published in the online newspaper,” Baldwin said in his prepared statement. “The defamatory nature of the com-ments were confirmed by legal counsel.”

Asked by Peace Arch News the next day whether the comments – posted online at Chesney’s website, www.whiterocksun.com – were conclusively defamatory, Baldwin said the city’s counsel advised them they were “most likely” defamatory.

“You’d have to go to court to make that determination,” he said.

Baldwin said in his statement – and later reaffirmed to PAN – that it was Chesney’s request that the matter be kept in-camera, prior to Monday’s meeting. However, Chesney told PAN Tuesday morning there was “confusion” over that aspect, but that he could not elaborate on the matter as he was await-ing further legal counsel.

Neither Baldwin nor Chesney would specify what the comments were, how-ever, they both confirmed that they were not written by Chesney himself.

“He was asked if he took respon-sibility for what is published on his website and he said, ‘yes, I read every word and approve it,’” Baldwin said.

Chesney said the author of the com-ments, whom he would not name, has “not been involved in this at all.”

The portion of the com-ments considered defama-tory was removed from the website within a week of being published, Chesney said.

Baldwin said council decided, at Chesney’s request, to release the in-camera infor-mation after an April 17 PAN article about the councillor’s absence from committees and the deputy-mayor rotation led to an onslaught of speculation from residents.

“Coun. Chesney was so dismayed with the questions he was getting that he wanted the whole thing to go pub-lic,” Baldwin said.

In response to recent criticism about decisions made in-camera by council in recent months – including the rev-elation that council has met in-camera 10 times since the start of the term – the city this week released a sum-mary of the content of those meetings.

Items ranged from personnel matters to negotiations for municipal services, and included legal advice for the coun-cil censure, which was first discussed

Feb. 16, then again on March 2 and 23. Baldwin told PAN after Monday’s

meeting that the city would continue to release similar overviews of in-camera meetings on a quarterly basis.

Also at Monday’s meeting, a motion by Coun. Helen Fathers to direct staff to create a ‘whistleblower policy’ was approved.

The policy would be designed to “protect staff and members of council” from retribution should they report any con-duct that is illegal, immoral or harmful.

Fathers – the sole councillor to vote against the amended rotation list on April 13 – told PAN that other munici-palities have such a policy, including Surrey, one of the first in Canada to enact such a policy in 2006.

She said it’s “just the right time” for the policy. Although she wouldn’t directly link her motion to recent council occurrences, she said city hall is “not a friendly environment.”

“I think the environment we’re in right now is a hostile environment,” Fathers said, noting a distinct divide on council. “I think there’s a bit of a penchant for trying to get us. And apart from the council issues, there’s a lot of employees that are saying to me that they’re dreadfully unhappy with the way things are going on. So it would be protection for them as well.”

Fathers had previously attempted to get a ‘whistleblower policy’ in place in White Rock in May 2012; the motion was not seconded.

MLA, family mourn

Nephew ‘sweet, respectful’ Kevin DiakiwBlack Press

As he does most mornings, on April 20, Harry Bains was checking his Twitter account when he saw that a man had been shot and killed in his riding over the weekend.

The NDP MLA for Surrey-New-ton felt terrible for the aggrieved family and for the community. He retweeted a post saying, “Another day, another shooting.”

The escalating gun violence in the city was becoming too much, he thought. More than 20 shootings occurred in Surrey in a month.

Half an hour later, he heard the news that would shake his world. The 22-year-old man who was killed was Bains’ nephew, Arun Bains.

“The Earth shifted from under our feet,” Bains said. “You never expect news like that to hit you and your family.”

Arun was rushed to hospital just before 3 a.m. on April 19, after

being shot near 126 Street and 88 Avenue. He died from his injuries in hospital.

The death is believed to be linked to a series of shootings involving rival drug dealers in recent weeks. Police say Arun

Bains was “known to be associ-ated to the people connected to the street level drug trade conflict.”

However, the family says Bains had no links to any such activity.

“Arun was not a criminal. He was not a gang member. He was loved by everyone who knew him,” the family said in a statement. “Arun was a fine young man who loved his family and had a bright future ahead of him.”

Bains said whenever he saw Arun, he was “very nice, sweet, very respectful. He would go out of his way to help you out.”

Police are still investigating.

Rather than charge a fee for students look-ing to upgrade their marks, the Surrey School District will no longer be offering courses to graduated adults.

The move comes after the provincial gov-ernment cut funding to school districts for programs catering to adults who have already received their high school diploma. Until now, those who had graduated – not just in Canada but anywhere in the world – were able to attend district-run learning cen-tres to upgrade free of charge. The province announced the changes in December and they are to take effect May 1.

Some school districts, such as Delta and

Vancouver, have opted to continue offering the adult upgrading courses, for a fee of $550 per course.

Surrey Trustee Laurae McNally said the dis-trict would have had to charge close to $600 per course to continue.

“The fee was, what we thought, too much for what the colleges could do it for,” she said.

“I’m really sad to see it change because those students… when they actually got their diplo-mas and got on with their lives… were prob-ably the strongest advocates for the Surrey School District. They never forgot the help they got from us.”

Adult education instructor Aaron Douglas told Black Press he felt the provincial funding cuts were particularly unfair for immigrants,

whose high school diplomas aren’t generally recognized by colleges and universities here.

Ayesha Rahimyar, 32, is one of those stu-dents, having graduated in Pakistan 16 years ago. As a single mom, she wants to get a higher education so she can better sup-port her young family and has been taking classes at Invergarry Adult Education Centre. Already barely able to make ends meet each month, she simply can’t afford to pay tuition.

“It’s really stressful,” she says. “If I can’t get an education… what is the hope for the next generation?”

In cutting the adult-education funding, the province announced it will offer $7.5 million in grants to low-income adult students to help with tuition.

Other existing adult-education courses will still be offered by the Surrey School District, just not for students who’ve already graduated.

While the adult education sites at Queen Elizabeth Secondary and Invergarry will remain in operation, the Newton Adult Edu-cation Centre (at Princess Margaret Second-ary) will be closed.

McNally said it’s too early to say exactly how staff will be affected, but acknowledged some instructors will have to be “absorbed” into other areas.

There are about 4,000 full- and part-time adult education students in Surrey, about a third of whom are affected by the change.

The government estimates it will save $9 million per year as a result of the cut.

Volunteers behind the Peace Arch Free Den-tal Clinic were given a big reason to smile this month – a $10,000 donation that will sustain the clinic’s operations for more than a year to come.

The contribution from Prime Time Living is “by far” the largest single donation to come the clinic’s way, and will go a long way to ease the road going forward, said clinic founder Ken Stones.

“It’s significant. It takes care of our expenses for a year-and-a-half,” Stones said. “It means I don’t have to scramble around looking for donors.

“They’re the sole funders for our clinic now.”The clinic, located in the basement of Peace

Arch Hospital’s Weatherby Pavilion, opened more than a decade ago with the support of local Rotary clubs and a two-fold mandate: to treat geriatric patients and provide outreach dental care for clients who lack the financial means to access it otherwise.

The outreach side became possible in 2009 with a $5,000 donation from the Semiahmoo Rotary Club (which repeated the donation 18 months later). Since then, the clinic has provided hundreds of patients – about 450 last

year alone – with basic dental care, including pain relief, restorations, extractions and clean-ings.

The patients are referred through Sources Community Resource Centre, which also manages all of the clinic’s finances.

Certified dental assistant Eloise Jacobs-John-ston said Friday the people she sees during the free clinic – where clients are treated on Mon-days and Fridays – “rave” about how much they appreciate the service.

A core group of about eight dentists and hygienists – all volunteers – work four-hour shifts during clinic hours. Stones noted hygien-ists of three other dentists see patients at their respective private offices outside of those hours as an extension of the free clinic.

The need for more volunteer dentists is ever-present, Stones said, noting there is “always” a wait list of clients. The commitment, he added, is relatively minimal.

“Four hours every month or two is what we’re asking,” he said.

Prime Time Living partner Judy Freeman said the decision to sponsor the local clinic was an easy one. This is the third year the company has contributed to the effort, she said.

“It’s an incredible thing,” said Freeman, who joined Prime Time’s vice-president John Hitch-

cock in presenting the cheque Friday.“It should be in all communities. To us, this

just added to the community.”For more information, call 604-542-4357.

Overseas outreachRetired dentist Ken Stones is no stranger to

helping those who cannot afford dental care.In addition to running the Peace Arch Free

Dental clinic, he organizes two overseas dental outreach trips every year – work he began in 1994.

Last year, his Semiahmoo Dental Outreach team held clinics in Vietnam for the third time, and on the Philippine island of Siquijor for the fifth year in a row.

On each trip, hundreds of patients, the major-ity of them children, receive dental care.

This year, donations from the Semiahmoo and Peace Arch Rotary clubs – $4,500 each plus $1,000 from other donations – are fund-ing the construction of a permanent dental clinic in Siquijor, which will be manned by visiting foreign dentists.

Next month, Stones and his team will head to Iquitos, Peru – the largest city in the world without road access. A return to Siquijor is set for November.

“It has been a challenge,” Paquet said of the spree of gun violence. “It’s comforting to see the reaction of the community and residents… because it means they have an interest. They have a vested interest in safety of the community, in what is going on.”

As with a series of press confer-ences on the issue, a safety forum April 21 at Tamanawis Second-ary was to also reiterate the role citizens have in helping to bring the situation to a close, he said.

“Policing is a team effort and without the community, we don’t stand a chance,” Paquet said. “And that’s in most cases that we investigate.”

Paquet was not new to speaking for the RCMP when he stepped into the role in Surrey. Just over a year prior, he was spokesperson for the Coquitlam detachment, and before that, represented the Integrated Security Unit during the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver.

He described the latter as “one of the most satisfying and challenging duties” he has had since joining the Mounties in 1993.

“Just the quality of peo-ple on the unit, just the magnitude of the opera-tion, of securing visitors, athletes, officials, over several weeks, during an era where the big sports, the major events, are known to be targeted by domestic terrorism, or just terrorism, period.”

In the past 2½ years, Paquet has spoken to countless incidents Sur-rey police have faced – good, bad and ugly.

He was just a couple of months in when the South Surrey community was shocked by the hit-and-run of two women who were jogging across 152 Street at the intersec-tion of 32 Avenue.

Traffic-camera video from the scene captured the impact and – about 25 seconds later– a fig-ure on foot approaching the women and leaning over them before rapidly departing.

Police released the video to the public, appealed for information and three days later, announced the arrest of a 53-year-old Surrey man and the seizure of a BMW X1. A trial is set for September.

Paquet – noting the incident generated inter-national interest – cred-ited the co-operation

between police, media and the community with the file’s speedy resolution.

“That was probably one of the incidents that, to this day – asso-ciated to South Surrey – probably one of the most prominent ones and one of the most satisfying as well.”

It’s no secret that much of what police deal with over the course of their careers isn’t pretty – death, destruction, senseless violence and profound grief, to name a few.

“It’s often described as 99 per cent boredom, one per cent sheer terror,” Paquet said.

Paquet said his wife of 11 years, Pam, offers support “that has no price, no value,” when it comes to dealing with the tougher side of the job.

“She always pushes me to talk about my days, whether good or bad, and specifically if they were bad,” he said.

Thankfully, there are brighter

moments to the job; opportuni-ties to promote good work that is being done by Surrey officers and volunteers; and the humour that sometimes can’t help but be found in the bad decisions of others.

“We see the extremes in our world, a lot of it is unfortunately serious and tragic, but a lot of it is definitely cause for respectful chuckles,” Paquet said.

“Some of the things you see are sometimes hard to comprehend.”

It is those lighter, brighter files that provide balance to his job.

Born in Montreal, Paquet said he never gave policing a second thought until he, by fluke, sat next to two “C” Division officers while attending night school at the Uni-versity of Montreal. They shared “endless” stories of their careers, and the seed was planted.

Paquet called the recruiting centre the next day.

“Best decision I’ve ever made.”Paquet starts his post in Win-

nipeg next week.

Spray safety questionedFraser Health issues advisory as ‘precautionary measure’

Jennifer LangBlack Press

As Cloverdale residents geared up for another round of aerial spraying this week to combat the invasive gypsy moth, there’s grow-ing concern about the treatment agent being used.

More than 4,500 hectares in Surrey and another 300 hectares in Surrey-Delta are being treated with Foray 48B.

The spray contains the bacteria Btk, which is used to control cat-erpillars. It kills larvae after they ingest it, but is not considered toxic to mammals, plants, birds, fish and beneficial insects, and is approved for use on organic farms.

The first set of early-morning treatments, conducted April 15-19 and broadcast by low-flying helicopter, caught some people off guard.

Tanya Rowlands said she and her husband developed a sore throat and dry cough, and her dog became ill, requiring an expensive trip to the vet.

“I attribute all of this to the spraying,” she said.

Another resident launched an online petition hoping to per-suade the Ministry of Forests to discontinue the aerial treatment.

“Health Canada says Btk is safe but it’s not Btk we care about, it’s Foray 48B – it reads right on the

label that it is not OK for human contact, either direct or by drift,” Ryan Bennett said, adding he and his family members have also experienced symptoms.

As of April 27, the petition had gathered more than 1,000 signa-tures. Saturday, Bennett held a protest outside Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Stephanie Cadieux’s office that drew more than a dozen people.

Round two of the aerial gypsy moth spraying was expected to start yesterday (Tuesday) and last four days, weather permitting.

The targeted areas include north of Highway 10 to 80 Avenue, from 144 Street to the Langley border.

While there have been a number of unconfirmed reports of resi-dents reporting symptoms associ-ated with spraying, Fraser Health doesn’t back those claims.

“Fraser Health is aware of only one incident where an individual

came to hospital as a precaution after not feeling well after the aerial spraying,” Fraser Health spokesperson Tasleem Juma said, noting Health Canada has approved the product for aerial application over populated areas.

“We understand people have concerns regarding the gypsy moth aerial spraying over Sur-rey, Cloverdale and Delta… The active ingredient, Btk, is only effective in a caterpillar’s stom-ach. It is not harmful in humans, livestock, birds, pets, fish or bees.

“It’s important to know that if untreated, the moth could cause significant damage to the area’s forests, orchards, farms and urban trees.”

On Monday, “as a precautionary measure,” Fraser Health advised residents to avoid contact with the spray and stay indoors, with windows and doors closed, for at least 30 minutes after the spray has been completed.

The spray leaves a residue of droplets that should disappear in about a week.

The moths pose a threat to fruit-growers, because gypsy moths eat the leaves of fruit trees – particu-larly apple trees, and blueberries and hazelnuts.

It’s estimated the program will cost $1.3 million. For informa-tion, call 1-866-917-5999 or visit www.gov.bc.ca/gypsymoth

By the time nominations close for the Oct. 19 federal election, voters will have just three weeks to decide who they should entrust

as their next member of Parliament.Likely, however, most will have already been

forming their opinions for some time.Which makes us wonder why the major political

parties haven’t really been vying for our vote locally in the newly redrawn South Surrey-White Rock riding.

It’s as if Canada’s opposition parties have decided to concede the riding in favour of Dianne Watts and the Conservatives. With a scant 5½ months to go until the big showdown, there’s only the one proclaimed candidate for the area, formerly held for four terms (as South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale) by Conservative Russ Hiebert – who indicated more than a year ago he would not seek re-election.

The Liberals and the NDP have promised a candidate, and the Greens are expected to, as well, but, as of this writing, Watts has no official challengers – and the clock is ticking.

Perhaps riding association executives are convinced that whomever they confirm will be such a magnificent choice that the electorate will be instantly swayed. If that’s the case, it’s time for a reality check. It takes time for a candidate to break through as a personality established in the public consciousness, let alone gain traction and trust.

Perhaps they are cowed by the area’s reputation as a Conservative stronghold, not to mention Watts’ record as a popular Surrey mayor. If so, they sell themselves – and voters – short.

The opposition parties say there many valid issues on which they are prepared to challenge the Conservative government’s record and perceived agenda. Their members have been swift to criticize the riding’s former representative for being unresponsive to the electorate, other than to assiduously trumpet his party’s line.

It would appear they have been squandering – for many months, now – an opportunity to hammer their viewpoints home, and establish a candidate’s presence on the local front.

At a time when even informal polls seem to indicate that half of the electorate have already made up their minds which way they will vote, this is more than reticence or organizational disarray – it’s an abdication of responsibility.

No matter which way South Surrey-White Rock ultimately votes, the local electorate deserves a genuine choice, rather than victory by default.

As for the subsequent election, we suggest prospective candidates begin making themselves known on Oct. 20.

editorial

Federal votersdeserve choice

Published at South Surrey by Black Press Ltd.

opinionPeace Arch News

The Vancouver media’s frantic coverage of the Great Bunker Spill of 2015 has just about run

out of fuel.By late last week, the usually serious

Globe and Mail was reduced to quizzing a U.S. expert who had at first told the CBC he thought the spill response was pretty good. But then he heard that it might have taken up to 12 hours until the leaking grain ship was completely under control, which would be not so good.

This U.S. expert admitted he has not “followed the Vancouver spill very closely,” and was basically speculating. But that’s OK, because the main purpose of this media frenzy is to feed the established narrative that the Harper government is gutting the Coast Guard while trying to ramp up heavy oil shipments to Asia.

Yeah, that makes sense. A University of Toronto philosophy prof recently suggested that Stephen Harper likes war. Maybe he likes oil spills, too.

A retired captain from the now-closed Kitsilano Coast Guard station became the latest of a series of disgruntled ex-employees and union bosses to serve as the media’s go-to critics. He contradicted Coast Guard management

at every turn, dismissing them as political appointees with little operational experience.

His claims about loss of spill response capability from Kitsilano are questionable

at best. There was no talk of spill response when Kitsilano closed two years ago, because it was a search-and-rescue station.

Former B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair held almost daily news conferences as it closed. People are going to drown, warned a parade of union spokespeople.

It’s been two years, and nobody has.

Premier Christy Clark and Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson were quick to summon TV cameras as oil-

sheen angst spread through condo towers. They declared the Coast Guard response a failure before they had any real understanding of it.

Unifor, the union representing Coast Guard employees, has vowed a full-scale election advertising attack on the Conservatives this year. On federal budget day, Unifor protested the closure of the Ucluelet Coast Guard ship monitoring station. Similar stations in Vancouver and Comox are also closing this year, replaced by a new monitoring

system run from Prince Rupert and Victoria.

I asked Industry Minister James Moore, the federal minister responsible for B.C., if this is a reduction in service. He said 1970s-era ship tracking equipment is being replaced with a new system that has already been deployed on the East Coast, to improve safety.

“These fears were also raised back in the ’60s and ’70s, when lighthouses were de-staffed,” Moore said. “I remember people saying, ‘Oh my God, this is going to be the end.’ And it turned out to be complete nonsense.”

Unifor operatives rushed to the media again last week with dire news of a half-hour outage of this new system, portraying this as evidence of a high-tech disaster waiting to happen. (Ships were told to monitor an old-school emergency radio channel for that uneventful half hour.)

What the union is really doing is ramping up its election propaganda, and intensifying efforts to protect redundant positions that are being replaced by new technology.

There was a similar media campaign last year targeting the consolidation of Veterans’ Affairs into Service Canada offices. There are serious problems with services to veterans, but union featherbedding would not help them.

The B.C. government is also introducing digital technology, eliminating hundreds of paper-pushing jobs in the process, with a mostly realistic response from unions.

But in this federal election year, realism will be in short supply.

quote of note

lettersPeace Arch NewsPeace Arch News

Law is for everyoneEditor:Re: PAN online question, April 15-22.

You asked “should there be stiffer fines and penalties for distracted driving?”

When drivers are stopped for impaired driving, they are subject to a fine and their vehicle impounded, points on their licence or restricted hours for driving.

I suggest the same penalties should be enforced for drivers caught driving while talking/texting on their cellphone, putting on makeup even shaving with their electric razors.

If appears these law breakers follow their own law.

So, distracted drivers – fine, impound cell for 30 days.

Paying fines appears to be an accepted way of the times, so remove their toy. They may get the message that the law is for everyone.

And if anyone thinks the bluetooth cell connection in a vehicle is the answer – wrong. To be distracted is to be distracted – cell to your ear or thru your radio, it is still being distracted.Fred Somers, Surrey

CharitableinvestmentEditor:Re: Project making progress, April 17.

Just a note to say “thank you” for the excellent article about our South Surrey Rotary Club’s orphanage project in Cambodia.

Mention is made that two of our members, Brian O’Ruairc and Stuart Wilson, have gone to Cambodia to oversee the project. These trips are entirely at their own personal expense. They – and we – believe it is prudent to see on site that the money is spent wisely and that good value is being received for this ambitious project.

Rotarians appreciate the support we receive from the community and the money raised is spent on local projects and worthy international projects.Don Boyce, Surrey

Areas shouldbe doody-freeEditor:Re: Two views on dogs at the beach, April 10 letters.

Letter-writer L. Veitch is correct in that there are more dogs at West Beach with no one patrolling it.

Crescent Beach has also gone to the dogs, as they seem to be there all year long now although they are only allowed there certain times.

I have also often wondered about the sanitary conditions at the beaches after witnessing numerous dogs doing their business in the

sand while their owners just walked on by. Some dogs even had diarrhea, then the tide comes in.

Is that really what we want our children to be swimming in?

Veitch has made some very valid points, and we should all seriously be thinking about them as more and more of our beaches in the Lower Mainland become contaminated with E. coli.

Bylaw enforcement needs to continue to be a strong force at all of the beaches if we are to keep them safe and clean.Cheryl Berti, White Rock

Re: Canine views frustrate, April 17 letters.

In response to letter-writer Katherine Booth’s comment: “(Cats)

have more civilized toilet habits.”I take strong exception to this

statement, as each day I must remove feces which a neighbour’s cat buries on a regular basis in my bark mulch.

Yes, I am trying various tactics to solve this problem.

And incidentally, if dogs require a licence, why not outdoor cats?Patricia Ryan, White Rock

RoyallywrongEditor:Re: Heads of state, April 22.

It is with some surprise, and even

dismay, that I noted your headline on page 1 of your issue of April 22, reporting on Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s visit to Surrey.

Accuracy in reporting is essential, particularly in the ‘Whatever’ Age in which we now live.

But, whatever else he might be, Harper does not hold that position. By the Constitution of Canada, it is held by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. And long may she reign!John Stape, Surrey

questions?

I am not an expert on modern

transportation systems, but neither am I a dreamer that believes all I have to do is wish and it

shall become a fact.David G. Sparks

Submissions will be edited for clarity, brevity, legality

and taste.

File photoLetter-writers suggest misinformation is being shared as fact by those commenting on the transit plebsicite.

Editor:Newspapers reported last week that the mayor of

Vancouver stated after a mayors’ council meeting at the TransLink offices that a ‘no’ in the referendum would imperil access to hundreds of millions of dollars in promised federal funds.

Where, exactly, in the budget does the federal government say so?Wolfgang Schmitz, White Rock

Re: Reluctantly getting to ‘no’, April 8 letters.I am rather tired of persons, similar to one letter

writer, making very unsubstantiated statements such as, “TransLink’s upper management created this mistrust with mismanagement of funds at every level.”

This sounds very impressive, but it is not supported by any referred data.

Reading annual reports prepared by accredited auditors disclose no indication of mismanagement of funds handled by TransLink. There have been some decisions which probably needed more explanation to satisfy a curious public or taxpayer. The Compass Card program is one that some alternative possible programs need to be displayed with relative costs, utility and timeliness.

It appears that on every level, a large segment of the public seems to believe that governments have money from some imaginary source which can pay for constituents’ wishes and desires as well as these same constituents’ absolute needs. I am not an expert on modern transportation systems, but neither am I a dreamer that believes all I have to do is wish and it shall become a fact.

I think more researched thought should be undertaken and evidenced before alleging all manner of wrongdoing. David G. Sparks, Surrey

Re: Surrey MLAs scold ‘no’ forces, March 10.Surrey-Panorama MLA Marvin Hunt was a respected

Surrey councillor for many years after he realized he couldn’t upstage Dianne Watts when she ousted Doug McCallum to become the best mayor Surrey ever had since I moved to Surrey in 1978.

However, he is slipping back since he was elected to the BC Liberal Party, whose doctrine should not be confused with the national Liberal Party of Canada.

Hunt and his cohorts say ‘no’ voters in the plebiscite are giving TransLink a “bad rap”. Would Hunt do something I don’t recall ever seeing since the SkyTrain began to operate in 1986, and that is an in-depth audit of the TransLink receipts and expenditures – including the salaries of the TransLink board members – thereby letting every taxpayer know where our money has been spent?

Now, Hunt and others state unequivocally that the transit system in B.C. is equivalent to any transit system in North America and elsewhere. I beg to differ.

I have spent four years in Washington, D.C., and three years in New York City, where I travelled daily by subway from Forest Hills, Long Island to Manhattan at a cost of $2 a day round-trip. I have also visited Montreal and Chicago on occasion. In Chicago, Montreal and Washington, the price was basically the same. In Toronto, you can board a bus at Pearson Airport for $2.50, transfer onto the subway and travel from one end of Toronto and back.

In none of these cities is there a zone fare and, please note, everyone boarding a subway platform has to pass through a turnstile, so it is not possible to board a train without paying.

The error was made when it was decided there would be no turnstiles at B.C. rapid-transit stations. Big mistake, as it has turned out – an estimated loss of revenue of approximately $2 million a year from 1986, totalling $59 million over the 29 years of SkyTrain’s existence.

Just think of how much money the TransLink board could have had to waste over the past 29 years.

I take umbrage with quasi-politicians who use their ‘superior knowledge’ to tell people which way to vote, when they are no better informed than the rest of the populace. And if they are better informed, it is their duty to tell their constituents the truth, and thus far without a public financial audit not even the politicians know where the money is being spent and/or wasted.

Voting ‘yes’ would be like buying a pig in a poke. J.R. Marshall, Surrey

Reading between the transit lines

Wednesday, April 29, 2015 Peace Arch News8 www.peacearchnews.com


Hiebert’s main argument for his bill has been that labour organi-zations, as recipients of tax ben-efits, should report fully on their financial affairs to the CRA.

“We heard from very compel-ling witnesses in the Senate today that my bill is a timely step forward for trans-parency and account-ability in Canada’s labour organizations,” this week’s news release said.

Hiebert cited testimony from Ken Pereira, who was a key witness before the Charbonneau Com-mission, investigating corruption in Quebec’s construction unions, that “only full public disclo-sure will fix the problem.”

Hiebert also cited tes-timony from former Supreme Court Justice Michel Bastarache, say-ing it “does not affect the functioning of unions… it is about tax benefits and the conditions for obtaining those benefits.”

Also among those speaking before the com-mittee were Noah Arshi-noff, staff lawyer, legis-lation and law reform, and Michael Mazzuca, past chair of the national pensions and benefits law section of the Canadian Bar Association.

In 2012, when the bill was first debated, the association wrote to Par-liament urging it not to adopt the legislation.

In the letter, the asso-ciation said “it is unclear what issue or perceived problem the bill is intended to address… (it) mandates greater public disclosure of details of the financial operations of labour unions, and limitations on their polit-ical and lobbying activi-ties using mechanisms that could be problematic from a constitutional and a privacy perspective.”

On Friday, CBA com-munications director Hannah Bernstein con-firmed the association stands by its original position that the bill should be defeated.

In a letter to the com-mittee in December, the CBA said that, even with current amendments, “Bill C-377 is fundamen-tally flawed and triggers serious concerns from a privacy, constitutional and pensions law per-spective.”

Also speaking on the bill was Len MacKay, president of the Association of Justice Counsel, bargaining agent for some 2,700 lawyers employed by the federal government as crown counsels or in the Department of Justice and the Public Prosecution Service.

On the association’s website MacKay writes “we remind our members that this bill, which has been widely criticized, is basi-cally an anti-union piece of legis-lation… ultimately Bill C-377 is likely to expose the government to more legal challenges.”

CN Police, BNSF and White Rock RCMP will be stepping up enforcement along the rails this weekend, as part of Rail Safety Week.

In addition to enforcing the law around trespassing, officials will be on hand along the waterfront line, near the pier, from

10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday handing out brochures on rail safety to pedestrians.

The issue has been a particularly hot one in White Rock since the July 2013 death of a jogger on East Beach tracks.

But despite steps to discourage trespassing on and around the tracks – including the

installation of mesh fencing – the issue continues to be a problem.

Rail Safety Week events are intended to remind the public that walking or playing on the tracks is both dangerous and illegal, and that trespassing fatalities “are entirely preventable.”

Nick GreenizanStaff Reporter

Sitting on the coffee table of Myra Merkal’s Victoria Avenue home is a children’s book that, right on the cover,

asks an important question – Do Princesses Wear Hiking Boots?

The answer, in Merkal’s case, is yes, they certainly do.

“I saw it, and I just had to buy it,” she explained. “How could I not?”

Merkal, after all, is the founder and chief organizer of White Rock’s annual Princess Party, which for the past five years has entertained the area’s young girls and boys while also raising money for a proposed all-abilities playground on White Rock’s East Beach.

And next month, Merkal will lace up her own hiking boots. Along with her sister, Sylvia, and three friends – including Surrey resident Linda Sprangers – Merkal will make a 500-km trek along the Camino de Santiago in northern Spain. They’ll start their journey May 20 in Pamplona, and plan to finish in Santiago June 12.

The trip – which Merkal has dubbed the “Soul2Sole” – is also a fundraiser for the playground initiative, which has been a focus for the White Rock native, and others like the White Rock Firefighters, for the last five years.

Merkal – whose son, Evan Bird, is a White Rock firefighter – has raised about $1,500 in pledges so far for the journey, and is aiming to raise $5,000.

In the past five years, $68,000 has been raised for the park through the White Rock Firefighters Charity Association. Merkal predicts that about $600,000 will be needed to build the playground, when all is said and done.

And while the annual princess parties have been successful, selling out each year, Merkal realized recently that if she’s ever to get close to that $600,000 number, she’d have to do even more.

And she hopes her current effort will even inspire others to get on board.

“There’s five of us women – we’re all over 60 – and we’re going to be walking about 25 km a day,” Merkal said. “I’m excited about the physical challenge – if I can do it, anyone can do it.

“I really do want to inspire people. Number one, I’m doing it to raise funds for the all-abilities park… and secondly, I want to inspire other people to do things. It doesn’t matter what your age is – I’m 67 years old, and I’m practising to do this big trek.

Hopefully it inspires people to do some things to help us raise more money. I want people to say, ‘Wow’ look what they’re doing for this park. How can we get involved, too?’”

Already, the response locally has been good, she said.

Each week, Merkal laces up her hiking boots, picks up her backpack and heads out on training walks. Often, she’s stopped along the way and asked what she’s doing – and people are excited to hear about her 500-km adventure.

The Camino de Santiago – also known as the Way of St. James – is the name of a

series of Christian pilgrimage routes from the Middle Ages. It is rumoured that Saint James was buried in Santiago, at the end of the route.

Travellers along any of the paths carry with them passports, which are then stamped at cathedrals – and sometimes hostels – in each village along the way. In Santiago, travellers take part in a service at the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela.

In 2013, Merkal and her sister – who lives in Germany – completed the final 100 km of the route, and took in the service at the cathedral.

“It’s just amazing. Once you’ve completed this journey, and it’s physically draining, you can just feel the emotions come right up

into your throat,” she said, adding that doing one-fifth of the route “wet our whistle” and inspired them to do the entire journey this time around.

“You walk through forests, and through villages, and you see people and sheep and cows, and there’s hills… Just the walk itself, you can really imagine yourself being back thousands of years. The spirituality of it, this whole pilgrimage, is just incredible.”

To donate online to Merkal’s trek, visit www.youcaring.com and search for “Soul2Sole” in the search window.

Or, to donate in person, email Merkal at [email protected]

Hospice hikeResidents from around

the Semiahmoo Penin-sula are getting ready to take a hike this week-end to raise funds and awareness for a local non-profit organization.

The Hike for Hospice returns Sunday (May 3) at Blackie Spit Park (3136 McBride Ave.), raising money for the White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society.

The event, hosted by Global BC personality Mark Madryga, kicks off at 9 a.m., rain or shine, and includes a one-, three- or five-kilometre walk or run through Crescent Beach.

This year, an anonymous donor has offered to match all donations up to $10,000, according to the society’s website.

To find out more about the Hike for Hospice, or to register, visit www.whiterockhospice.org or call 604-531-7484.

Birthday bashWhite Rock

Soroptimists will celebrate the group’s 65th birthday next month with awards, a fashion show and dinner.

Treasurer Liz Aubert said there are still tickets available to the soiree, set for 6 p.m. May 12 at Sammy J’s (15770 Croydon Dr.) in South Surrey.

In addition to announcing the winner of their $2,000 Women’s Opportunity Award, the Soroptimists will dis-tribute six community grants that night, worth a total of $20,700.

Describing the cel-ebration as a fun event, Aubert said it is also a good opportunity for anyone interested in Soroptimists to learn more about what the group does and how. For example, the Sorop-timists’ chief charity is ReStart, a program which provides kits of household items to women and children who need a hand get-ting re-established

after leaving transition facilities. The guest speaker for May 12 will be Soroptimist Interna-tional’s Western Canada regional governor Heather Rollins.

For tickets or more information, call Aubert at 604-538-3505.

The 69th annual Cloverdale Rodeo and Country Fair is set for the Cloverdale Fair-

grounds May 15-18, and this year will be headlined by Vancou-ver-based singer Karen Lee

Batten – BC Country Music Association’s female vocalist of the year – and professional trick rider and horse entertainer Niki Cam-maert Flundra.

The four-day event will also feature all the other attractions that rodeo-goers have come to expect over the years – including bull riding, barrel racing and mutton bustin’.

A fundraiser to purchase medical equipment for Peace Arch Hospital that “just doesn’t get bought otherwise” is set for 6-9 p.m. May 7 at Gracepoint Church in South Surrey.

Marketplace & Fashion Show 2015, organized by the Kay Hogg Goodwill Group of the Peace Arch Hospital Auxiliary Society, is to be an evening of shopping, fashion, more shopping, door prizes and dessert.

In 2013, about 230 people attended, raising $5,600 for the cause. This year, organizers are hoping for at least 300 guests and to raise even more funds.

Group member Kathy McIntyre – a retired PAH emergency nurse – said feedback from the first event has been incorporated to improve the experience for everyone.

Changes include the addition of more – and more varied – fashions, and the extension of the catwalk about 20 feet into the crowd for better viewing.

McIntyre and fellow auxiliaries Jane Jamieson and Joan Dewinetz lauded the contributions of fashion-show organizer Rhonda McJannet, a local resident who donates her time to the effort.

“We couldn’t do this without her,” McIntyre said.

The show will feature fashions from Edge, Beaches Swimwear, Suzanne’s, Jenny’s, Riverside Golf & Tennis Wear and Pennington’s.

Items for sale from about 20 marketplace vendors will range from hair clips to handmade jewelry to chocolate.

Proceeds from the evening will be put towards purchasing minor capital equipment. In the past, such “patient comforts” have included things like GlideScopes (assists in intubating patients), Isoflex mattresses (which prevent bed sores) and a pneumatic tourniquet.

Requests on the wish list this year total around $375,000 and every auxiliary group is organizing “every fundraiser they can think of ” in an effort to

meet the need.“We support as much

as we can,” McIntyre said.

McIntyre, Jamieson and Dewinetz are among 11 members of the Kay Hogg Goodwill Group, which formed in honour of Dewinetz’s mother. Her father, Dr. Al Hogg, was the city’s first doctor.

Other fundraisers organized by the group each year include a kitchen tour, a Joy of Music evening and a meat sale.

Tickets to Marketplace & Fashion Show 2015 are $25. They are available at the hospital gift shop, participating stores, or by calling 604-536-5634 or 604-535-8552. They will not be sold at the door.

Gracepoint Church is located at 3487 King George Blvd.

The life of a young Peninsula man who bravely fought cancer for years will be celebrated this weekend.

Eric Dorchester, 23, passed away April 16, nearly five years after he was diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma, the same cancer that claimed the life of Terry Fox.

In 2013, a year after Dorchester lost his leg below the knee, he spoke to Peace Arch News about the experience and how his determination allowed him to still snowboard, wake board and rock climb.

“Other than being able to sprint, I’m just as mobile as ever,” Dorchester, an Earl Marriott grad, said at the time. “I don’t know if I would go back and change it all. It’s probably made me a better person.”

In announcing his passing on social media, Dorchester’s older brother, Guy, wrote of Eric’s positive outlook and how he inspired those around him.

“Eric has left behind him a legacy of inspiration from all the

lives he has touched through unyielding laughter and unwavering positive attitude.”

A celebration of Dorchester’s life is planned for this Saturday (May 2) from 2 to 5

p.m. at the Cascades Convention Centre, 20393 Fraser Hwy., Langley. His family welcomes anyone whose life he may have touched to take part in the event.

For Families with Young Children: Plan the Perfect Experience for Mother’s DayMother’s day is approaching, and for families with young children,

a memorable experience is a great alternative to a classic gift. Young children are thrilled to be part of the planning process, from making lists of Mother’s day breakfast ideas, to lists of things to do with their mom. Allowing children to be part of the experience enables them to understand how they can truly make someone special to them smile. It also empowers children to think through the process of giving. As a mother, there is nothing more wonderful than receiving a handcrafted card, decorated with stick figures, words with spelling mistakes, or even letter-like forms that don’t spell anything at all. Children may sometimes confuse what they want to do with what they think their mom will want to do. Gently remind them of the purpose of this day and watch as their simple ideas develop into a perfect memory.

THIS IS THE LIFE

There’s nothing quite like a visit from a good friend – especially when they come

to your home bearing a tasty home-cooked meal.

The volunteers at White Rock’s Meals on Wheels program have been providing hot, delicious and healthy food, delivered with a smile, for more than 45 years.

There are many reasons why seniors in the community may want to sign up for a meal-delivery service, according to program co-ordinator Pat Patton.

Whether their clients are recovering from illness or injury, unable to safely cook for themselves any longer, or simply want a break from cooking, Patton says Meals on Wheels can offer as little or as much help as they need.

“We come on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and we do deliver on public holidays,” Patton explained. “Sometimes our clients don’t want us to deliver all three days, so it can be personally tailored to whatever they would like.”

The meals are prepared fresh at Evergreen Campus of Care, and although the program offers a set menu, Patton said she is able to specialize the meals slightly based on preference and dietary requirements.

“The one part of the meal I can change is the protein,” she said. “We have some people who don’t want fish, so on those days, they wouldn’t get fish.”

Patton said there is a good variety in the meals – which are low in fat and salt content – including dishes such as chicken stew, roast, baked ham, meatballs and more.

Volunteers with the program do far more than simply deliver a hot meal, Patton noted.

They provide a sense of security for their elderly clients, many of whom live on their own, and on occasion might be in need of

assistance. “If there’s no reply

when a volunteer delivers, they will leave the meal, but word will get back to me at the end of delivery, and I would be checking

up on them in the afternoon,” Patton said. “Most of the time, it’s nothing more than they went

to the laundry or something, but sometimes people have been needing help.”

Among the information Patton collects from clients is their doctor’s phone number and a family contact, should an emergency arise.

Drivers are often asked to help clients with any number of things they might need a hand with, and Patton said they are always happy to oblige.

“Our regular drivers and regular clients really get to know each

other, and it’s a position of trust and friendship very often,” she said.

The program is something of a well-oiled machine, made up of more than 50 volunteers servicing around 60 clients throughout White Rock and South Surrey.

On delivery days, the co-ordinators, known as day captains sort the different routes, ensuring they have enough drivers and distributing any special requirements.

Each driver is given a book with

a map, and a card for each client that is marked according to their order.

Some clients pay with each meal delivery – at a cost of $6 – while some pay at the end of the month.

In addition to the friendships that are made between clients and volunteers, Patton said there is a great sense of camaraderie among the program’s volunteers, who meet briefly on the mornings they deliver before heading out on the road.

“Some of our volunteers have been with us for decades, and luckily we’re getting some nice new ones,” Patton said. “We have young mothers with children in schools, to people still delivering in their 80s.”

Patton encourages anyone who is interested in the program – whether as a volunteer or client – to call the office at 604-541-6352.

Potential clients are welcome to test the program out for a week or two to see if it’s something that will suit their needs, she said.

“Give yourself a holiday,” Patton said. “When you think of how many meals you’ve made in a lifetime, these are meals you don’t have to shop for, you don’t have to cook and you can even recycle the dishes.”

Internal Scar Tissue: A silent health menace

Conditions Treated: Osteoarthritis Hand and Wrist Pain Internal Scar Tissue Rotator Cu Injury Neck Pain Back Pain Knee Pain Plantar Fasciitis Achilles Tendonitis After Surgery or Injury Golfers or Tennis Elbow (Epicondylitis) and other musculoskeletal conditions

The Team at Solaj Wellness Centre: Maria, Morgan, Doctor Mel, Mary Ann, Samantha

Internal scar tissue is a common, yet often undiagnosed or misunderstood condition causing signi cant pain and mobility limitations. Cold Laser Therapy is a promising treatment, triggering the body’s natural ability to overcome internal scar tissue.

David has been running, both competitively and recreationally, for his entire life. He has completed multiple marathons and long distance events, and is very passionate about the sport.

Quite a number of years ago, David started experiencing knee pain that a ected his ability to run. His doctor suggested surgery on his knees to remove debris from behind his kneecaps that may have been the cause of his pain. So David went through with the procedure, in the hope that it would reduce his knee pain.

Unfortunately, the surgery didn’t put an end to his knee pain. Eventually it became just too much to bear, so he reduced his running. But to stay active, while also reducing the stress on his knees, he took up cycling and

tness training. However, even w i t h t he s e l owe r i mp a c t

activities, David found that his knees were sore, no matter what activity he did. He always had pain, but just toughed it out, assuming that this was just the way it was going to be.

When David visited Solaj Wellness Centre, he was very skeptical. He had heard about Cold Laser erapy from his personal trainer and was encouraged to give it a try. All he wanted to do was, to be able to run freely, without pain. Having tried many other therapies without meaningful and lasting success, he had an understandably dif cult time believing that laser therapy would be any di erent. But still - if his personal trainer was right - the upside of stopping the pain in his knee was considerable, so he decided to give Cold Laser erapy a chance.

After the rst 3 treatments, David started to notice slightly less pain in his knees. Although it was subtle, it was a step in the right direction, encouraging him to continue with the therapy. After 6 treatments, his initial scepticism turned into real hope, as he was running with almost no pain and noticed that the remaining pain would subside much sooner after exercising than before. He also found that his knees were not as sore as they used to be during his personal training sessions, and with much reduced pain levels, physical activity just seemed easier.

After 13 treatments over a 7 week period, hope had turned to satisfaction and David was able to end his treatments, as he was back to running and exercising without any of his previous symptoms.

Email om David: I have had problems with my knees for at least the past 20 years. After years of running high mileage weeks and the marching of time they started to give me problems. I kept reducing my running frequency and distance down to once per week, then I had to quit running altogether.

In the last few years I have been using the services of a personal trainer and had been working on strengthen the muscles that support the knees. Still to no real effect.

A few months ago I went to Solaj, and within a few sessions of the Cold Laser Therapy my knees started to feel better. I went a couple of times a week for seven weeks. After that I started running again, starting slowly and short distances, building it up to where I'm now running 3 times per week and my distances have increased as well.

Also, lately I've changed my training methods and I'm convinced that the Cold Laser treatments were the catalyst to the change. After long periods in my car and after my gym workouts, I am able to walk without any signs of stiffness or instability. I'm contemplating running a 10k in the new year and my goal is under 50 minutes for the distance. This doesn't sound like an accomplishment for someone who used to be much faster, but for someone who couldn't run at all it's wonderful.

I can highly recommend Cold Laser Therapy for anyone who has overuse injuries.

Internal scar tissue is a condition impacting many individuals with signi cant pain and resulting mobility limitations. But it’s often not recognized as that -- even by experienced healthcare professionals. Diagnosis is hampered by the fact, that internal scar tissue doesn’t typically show up as di erent from surrounding normal tissues in X-rays, MRI and CT scans. However, it can be seen during surgery and if it’s close enough to the surface, it can be felt to the touch by practitioners speci cally trained in internal scar tissue detection.

Internal Scar Tissue Causing Pain and Limiting Mobility Internal scar tissue is the body’s “emergency cellular structure” that builds in response to an injury.

is tissue is made from comparatively minimalist, tough, in exible and brous kind of material. It isn’t as exible and doesn’t contribute to strength and mobility. To use a simple analogy, internal scar tissue is a bit like our body’s natural duct tape. It’s a quick emergency x, not a good permanent repair. In the short term, internal scar tissue is helpful, since it creates a quick re-connection between cut or torn tissues.

However, after short term bene ts, internal scar tissue ends up becoming a signi cant long term problem, getting in the way of a full return to normal exibility and strength after an injury (or surgery). Since it lacks exibility, internal scar tissue even increases the likelihood of future injury.

Fortunately, scar tissue cells can also make room again for healthy cells. is often occurs very slowly or hardly at all, but with a little help, the body can break up and get rid of much internal scar tissue.

Internal Scar ssue in Skeletal Muscle

Internal scar tissue prevents muscles from working properly since it:

• Is much less exible • Does not contribute to muscle

contraction & strength • Makes undesirable connections

(adhesions) to neighbouring tissue

Cold Laser Therapy for Internal Scar Tissue

Cold Laser erapy delivers light energy to the area of the injury, which helps the body to break down and dispose of scar tissue and replace it with normal healthy tissue. e light based energy of Cold Laser erapy can reach places that a massage based approach may have a more dif cult time reaching. One can also start Cold Laser erapy immediately after the injury. Since it delivers light energy to injured cells into the damaged area, there’s no additional injury or pain. Many people even experience some immediate amount of pain relief because of the extra pain-killing beta-endorphins the body naturally produces, when exposed to the light energy.

If Cold Laser erapy is started very quickly after an injury (or surgery), then cellular tissue is healing and growing much faster, and the body doesn’t even bother to create so much scar tissue. And more healthy tissue and less scar tissue in the rst place also means more exibility and strength in the injured area resulting in accelerated recovery.

However, even many years after original injury, Cold Laser erapy boosts the healthy cell’s energy levels, so they can do

their job of replacing scar tissue with healthy tissue much more e ectively. e extra cellular energy delivered through Cold Laser erapy allows the process of scar tissue replacement to begin.

Beginning today, the Seniors Health Network each month will pose a question to a health-care professional.

This month the Alzheimer society was asked: “My husband seems to be getting

increasingly forgetful and confused. He often doesn’t remember if he has had breakfast and sometimes he forgets our kids’ names. What should I do?”

Avalon Tournier from Alzheimer BC says:I would suggest you call your doctor so a

health-care professional can examine and test your husband.

There are many possible causes for his memory loss, and it is possible this is being caused by a reversible condition.

If your husband is diagnosed with any form of dementia, I suggest you call the Alzheimer Society of BC. We have a series of workshops called “The family Caregiver Series” which can help caregivers communicate better with the person with memory loss.

The Alzheimer society also offers regular caregiver support group meetings which will provide current information and a place to find support and friendship with others whose life has been affected by a memory-loss condition.

You can also call our local office at 604-541-0606 and request a one-to-one appointment with a team member, pick up information or receive detailed information about our caregiver support groups.

Fraser Health also suggests: • If you have concerns about someone experiencing forgetfulness and confusion, review the Alzheimer Society’s website (www.alzheimer.ca/en/bc) or call 1-800-936-6033.• Discuss these concerns with your doctor.• Early diagnosis is important. There are several treatable conditions that have symptoms similar to Alzheimer’s disease. Early diagnosis is also key to get connected with resources and services.

To help you know what to look for, the Alzheimer Society has developed the following list of 10 warning signs:

1. Memory loss that affects day-to-day function

It’s normal to occasionally forget appointments, colleagues’ names or a friend’s phone number and remember them later. A person with Alzheimer’s disease may forget things more often and not remember them later, especially things that have happened more recently.

2. Difficulty performing familiar tasksBusy people can be so distracted from

time to time that they may leave the carrots on the stove and only remember to serve them at the end of a meal. A person with Alzheimer’s disease may have trouble with tasks that have been familiar to them all their lives, such as preparing a meal.

3. Problems with languageEveryone has trouble finding the right

word sometimes, but a person with Alzheimer’s disease may forget simple words or substitute words, making her sentences difficult to understand.

4. Disorientation of time and placeIt’s normal to forget the day of the week or

your destination - for a moment. But a person with Alzheimer’s disease can become lost on their own street, not knowing how they got there or how to get home.

5. Poor or decreased judgmentPeople may sometimes put off

going to a doctor if they have an infection, but eventually seek medical attention. A person with Alzheimer’s disease may have decreased judgment, for example not recognizing a medical problem that needs attention or wearing heavy clothing on a hot day.

6. Problems with abstract thinkingFrom time to time, people may have

difficulty with tasks that require abstract thinking, such as balancing a chequebook. Someone with Alzheimer’s disease may have significant difficulties with such tasks, for example not recognizing what the numbers in the chequebook mean.

7. Misplacing thingsAnyone can temporarily misplace a wallet

or keys. A person with Alzheimer’s disease may put things in inappropriate places: an iron in the freezer or a wristwatch in the sugar bowl.

8. Changes in mood and behaviourEveryone becomes sad or moody from time

to time. Someone with Alzheimer’s disease can exhibit mood swings – from calm to tears to anger – for no apparent reason.

9. Changes in personalityPeople’s personalities can change somewhat

with age. But a person with Alzheimer’s disease can become confused, suspicious or withdrawn. Changes may also include apathy, fearfulness or acting out of character.

10. Loss of initiativeIt’s normal to tire of housework,

business activities or social obligations, but most people regain their initiative. A person with Alzheimer’s disease may become very passive, and require cues and prompting to become involved.

Again – if you notice any of these symptoms, be sure to discuss your concerns with your doctor!

Avalon Tournier is the Support and Education Co-ordinator for the Alzheimer’s Society of BC and is responsible for Surrey, North Delta and White. Her office number is 604-541-0606.

This is the time of year that over a million shorebirds

visit local beaches as they head north for the nesting season.

The smallest sandpipers, collectively known as “peeps”, are tiny birds, each weighing only as much as a granola bar.

Individual birds are easily overlooked since their brownish-grey plumage blends with the mud. A large flock is much more noticeable, especially when they perform their amazing aerial displays.

Peeps fly 11,000 km on migration from their wintering areas in South America to their breeding grounds in Alaska, and the Fraser delta is one of only a few stopovers en route.

It is essential that the mud and sand flats of Boundary Bay, Roberts Bank and Sturgeon Banks remain viable habitat.

According to a 2014 study by Environment Canada and Bird Studies Canada, it is possible that the entire Pacific Flyway population of Western Sandpiper and Dunlin may be found on the Fraser River delta during migration.

The study authors calculated that 600,000 Western Sandpiper

and 200,000-250,000 Dunlin, another sandpiper species, stop to feed just at Roberts Bank, with similar numbers occurring on Boundary Bay and Sturgeon Banks.

Each bird may stay only two to three days, foraging and roosting, before pressing on with its journey.

Sandpipers feed by probing in the mud for small creatures or by sucking up biofilm from the surface. If

disturbed, they try and resettle just a few metres along to resume their feeding.

With the tide going out, the shorebirds become very spread out and distant, and can be difficult to observe. However, when the tide turns, the incoming water coaxes the feeding birds closer to shore.

With no more mud exposed, the birds sleep, preen and relax, restoring their energy for the kilometres to come.

At this time, they are very vulnerable to attack from falcons and eagles and disturbance by dogs and humans.

Auxiliary spends thousands on new equipmentThis time of the year, the

auxiliary is asked to make a financial

commitment for major equipment to the hospital.

We have a very thorough purchasing process in order to make sure that only the most necessary items are bought. A group of people from all the departments of the hospital meet to discuss what the most important priorities are for each department.

All of our equipment is purchased by Hospital Supply Services, a B.C. government agency. This is an agency that makes sure that all of

our equipment complies to strict electrical and medical standards.

We are able to take advantage of bulk-buying discounts as often the same products are being purchased by other health-care providers.

Last year, we were able to spend just over $350,000 on equipment for the hospital. We purchase items that are used by all departments, including our residential care units.

Last year, the auxiliary purchased 50 new beds for residential care. These

beds make a huge difference in the lives of our residents.

For many residents with

complex medical issues, a restful night’s sleep can provide much-needed comfort. For those residents who are quite frail or spend a significant amount of time in bed, the provision of a specialized sleeping surface, such as the Isogel mattress will promote skin integrity and reduce the risk of pressure ulcers.

We were able to purchase a pneumatic tourniquet last year.

The pneumatic tourniquet is used for all applicable orthopedic procedures done on upper and lower limbs. It is used on a daily basis at Peace Arch Hospital. It stops the blood flow and provides the surgeon with a clear view. It can also be used to confine local anesthetic to the limb, avoiding

the need for a general anesthetic.The newly purchased tourniquet

has an easy-to-clean touch screen with a large display and easy-to-use to buttons. It is smaller and lighter than the previous tourniquets we have used in the OR. This piece of equipment cost more than $18,000.

Last year, we were also able to purchase a small hand joint drill which is used for putting in screws and plates by orthopedic surgeons. This small piece of equipment cost more than $14,000. This drill has to be made up to surgical standards and is used by the surgeons on a daily basis.

Please save the date for a fashion show and marketplace which will be held on May 7 at Gracepoint

Church located on the King George Highway (see page 13).

There will be fashions from Edge, Beaches Swimwear, Suzanne’s and Jenny’s, Riverside Golf and Tennis Wear and Pennington’s. This event is sponsored by the Kay Hogg Goodwill Group. Tickets may be purchased from the hospital gift shop and participating stores.

We are always looking for volunteers. If you are interested in being a volunteer, applications may be picked up at the Superfluity Shop, the hospital gift shop or the information desk at the hospital.

ChiropractorWhat Should You Do to Relieve Low Back Pain?Stretching for low back pain seems to be a common trend among back pain suffers. People with back pain tend to stretch out their low back, or lumbar spine, only to wake up the next day feeling worse.

Although it feels good in the moment, by stretching your lumbar spine today

you are ensuring yourself more pain and stiffness tomorrow.

This may seem counterintuitive, however, these stretches actually lead to more cumulative damage. The reason stretching provides temporary relief is due to perception via the stimulation of the muscle stretch receptors. This can cause more harm than good as you are stretching already elongated and strained muscles.

So what is it that you need to do?

The simple truth is you need to stop stretching your lumbar spine. This eliminates extra spinal fl exion and reduces strain. Focus instead

on stabilizing the lumbar spine, mobilizing the hips and thoracic spine and teaching proper movement technique. This strategy will help eliminate the urge to stretch multiple times a day just to get temporary relief.

YOUR GROOMING EXPERTWhy should I crate train my dog?Dogs are den animals. They need a space where they can get away from the hustle and bustle of family life when they need a break. Having a dark quiet space that is only for them is an excellent way for them to relieve stress. It is important to let your dog know that the crate is a happy place and you should never use it for punishment. Feeding your dog in their crate is a good way for them to associate it with something they enjoy. Feeding them high value treats and bones in the crate also creates that positive association.

When a dog is happy using a crate, it makes grooming visits or if they need to stay over at the vet less stressful. Also, if you are visiting family and there is a lot going on, you can give your dog their own space where they can get away and remain relaxed.

For assistance in crate training or any other dog related question, please call Dog Utopia at 604-541-8120 or visit our website at www.dogutopia.ca.

DenturistsDentures don’t last forever...Nothing does. And while it’s true that the modern denture is more durable than ever before, you can still break a tooth or the denture base by simply dropping them a few inches. Even with painstaking care, denture teeth can lose their natural appearance and chewing ability due to the cumulative effects of chewing, brushing and age. Plus, your mouth changes over time.

We will look for:• poor fi t due to bone loss - examine for abnormalities, loss of facial

support• wear on the top surface of your back teeth and shortening of front teeth • ability to chew without discomfort As a result, you can expect us to recommend refi tting your dentures every 2-3 years and replacing every 5-7.

Most insurance companies will cover these recommendations. Please visit our website for more useful information and videos.www.envisiondenture.com

YOUR BEAUTY EXPERTHow does coolsculpting work?

CoolSculpting performs cryolipolysis. The term “cryolipolysis” refers to Cryo=ColdLipo=FatLysis=break upA special gelpad is put on the skin to protect the skin’s surface. The machine has a treatment head that suctions itself to your skin to assure complete contact. It quickly cools the tissue to a predetermined level. Continuous cooling is applied above the temperature of freezing. The temperature is at a level that is safe for the skin, blood vessels and nerves, but destructive to the fat cells. Once the fat cells are destroyed (dead), the body recognizes that they are no longer needed and a gradual process occurs where the fat cells and fat material is cleared away. This is a permanent reduction in fat cells. The fat cells are degraded by enzymes. The actual fat is transported through the lymphatic system, and converted to energy just like the fat that you eat. This is a natural process, and your body is already fully equipped to handle the destroyed fat cells and remove them as well as manage the fat that is released. This process is gradual and takes a few months, so a slow gradual improvement is noted. Results are usually seen within 8-10 weeks and continue to improve up to four months. Proven results without surgery or invasive procedures.

Hearing AidsYou may have hearing loss if you: • Have diffi culty hearing or understanding women

and children (the fi rst sign of hearing loss is often the loss of high-frequency hearing)

• Have trouble understanding what people are saying, particularly in noisy situations such as crowded rooms, shopping malls, or busy restaurants

Hearing loss can also take a toll on your emotional well-being. The psychological effects of hearing loss include:• A sense of threatened security (Will I be able to

hear a fi re alarm? A car horn?)• Withdrawal from social situations you once enjoyed• Distancing yourself from family and friends because it’s too diffi cult to

participate in the conversationAs well, you have a higher risk of hearing loss if you:• Use certain ototoxic drugs• Have a family history of hearing loss• Have diabetes, heart, circulation, or thyroid problemsAll of these signs are reliable indicators of hearing loss, but the only way to know for sure is to have your hearing tested by a qualifi ed professional. The hearing specialists at your Beltone Hearing Care Center use state-of-the-art screenings to accurately assess your hearing levels. It’s easy, comfortable and thorough, and best of all, it’s free!

Join Nellie on her 4th Annual trip to Explore South India!

FEBRUARY 8 - 24, 2016

Namaste! Welcome to India, one of the most diverse nations on

Earth. A vast landscape of ancient civilizations, endless contrasts and

an array of spiritual beliefs make it a fascinating country to explore.

After three trips to North India I thought it was time to explore the

equally unique states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Travelling coast

to coast from the Bay of Bengal to the Arabian Sea we are in for a

fascinating array of sights and experiences.

The “Land of Temples” state of Tamil Nadu is the southern most

Indian state nestled in the south Indian peninsula on the shores of

the Bay of Bengal and the deep blue Indian Ocean. This state has

more than 30,000 temples quite a few of which are Unesco World

Heritage sites. Tamil language is one of the classical languages of the

world with literature spanning over 2000 years and the pride of its

people, luckily for us English is also widely spoken! The wondrous

combination of ancient temples and the astounding ornate temples

built in the last few hundred years is not to be seen anywhere else.

Their culture including the arts, dance, literature and Hindu religion

have endured for centuries and is right there alongside the colorful

India of today. It is a heady combination of tropical climate ,cool

hill resorts, ancient culture, beaches, wildlife parks, coffee and tea

plantations, friendly people and much more. And let’s not forget the

inviting culinary delights this area is famous for! A stop in French

fl avored Pondicherry lets us take

advantage of the spices of India

alongside a coffee and French

pastry on the promenade.

On to wondrous Kerala “God’s

Own Country” a sliver of a

state in India’s deep south. With

600km of Arabian Sea coast

the beaches coupled with the

famous network of backwaters,

spice and tea plantations and

forest reserves make it a delight

to visit. Envision unending

green hills with the scent of teas and spices, a variety of wildlife

including elephants and the ever elusive tiger and exotic colorful

birds everywhere. Coconut groves soar from the waters edge as we

slowly meander the backwaters in our houseboat and watch daily

life unfold all around us. We enter this state by way of Periyar in the

Western Ghats and one of India’s best wildlife preserves where we

spend several days amongst its cool forests. A visit to an elephant

camp for a morning to feed, bath, ride and generally interact with

these majestic animals is on the docket, you may get wet! Kerala

seems a world away from the sometimes overwhelming organized

chaos of other parts of India and its here one can take a breath and

enjoy the majestic scenery and more laid back local life style.

Boat rides on the lake, mountain walks, ayurverdic massages, animal

viewing, its all here.

Seeing is believing and I look forward to your taking this great

opportunity to take this extraordinary journey to South India with

me.

If you fi nd that your skin is feeling less fi rm these days and you want to and a safe and effective way to

improve its appearance. Please make an appointment to come in and fi nd out more about Ultherapy.

All is possible with just one treatment.

Ultherapy is an innovative, non-surgical way to help reinvigorate skin that is starting to

feel less fi rm, saggy, or too relaxed.

Brain atrophy takes place when the connections between cells in the brain are damaged, or the cells in general are lost. This condition can be caused by a number of issues including natural aging. Symptoms of brain atrophy may include memory loss, lack of motor skills, reduced reading skill and difficulty with speech.

A recent study from Johns Hopkins University and the National Institute on Aging found individuals with untreated hearing loss who underwent annual MRI’s, over a 10 year period, showed an average 1 cubic centimeter of brain tissue loss per year. More importantly, there was significant atrophy in the brain structures responsible for processing sound and speech.

Naturally, the brain becomes smaller with age however untreated hearing loss may accelerate brain shrinkage. While changes in brain structure are expected with aging, areas responsible for hearing and speech perception are not isolated. Closely related areas help with memory and sensory integration and have been shown to be involved in the early stages of mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease.

Frank Lin M.D. Ph.D. and head of the study emphasized the urgency of treating

hearing loss. “If you want to address hearing loss well you want to do it sooner rather than later. If hearing loss is potentially contributing to these differences we’re seeing on MRI, you want to treat it before these brain structural changes take place.”

www.peacearchnews.com 31 Peace Arch News Wednesday, April 29, 2015 www.peacearchnews.com 31 Peace Arch News Wednesday, April 29, 2015 sports…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Nick GreenizanSports Reporter

Every time Douglas Cannon hears a 17-year-old midget player announce that it’s his last year playing hockey, it breaks his heart.

Cannon – like many others, to be sure – believes hockey is a game that can be played for a lifetime, but as players “age out” of the minor hockey system, many quit the game altogether.

And while some will pick up the

sport later as adults, Cannon feels it’s important to bridge that gap between midget hockey and adult leagues.

It’s why he and others at Semiahmoo Minor Hockey are aiming to revive the association’s juvenile division, for players aged 18-20.

Semi has not iced a juvenile squad since the 2010/11 season, though other nearby associations – in Cloverdale and Langley – have teams, on which a few former Semiahmoo juvenile-aged

players have played in recent years, in lieu of a Semi-based team.

Semiahmoo aims to have at least one juvenile team ready for the 2015 season this fall.

“My primary goal is to stop kids from saying, and believing, that it’s their last year of hockey,” explained Cannon, Semiahmoo’s juvenile-division co-ordinator. “It’s such a shock to hear that. It’s always baffled me that you play a sport all through elementary school

and high school, and then just all of a sudden, you quit what you love.

“Semiahmoo has more than enough (potential) players to get a team together, so it just made sense to try – let’s give these kids the option to keep playing.”

Cannon concedes there are other reasons, aside from a lack of playing options, that cause some to quit when they reach 17 or 18 years old. At that

Newton football star expected to be selected in this week’s draft

Covington eyes NFLRick KupchukSports Reporter

The next few days will be the biggest of Chris-tian Covington’s life.

After playing three seasons of NCAA football with the Rice University Owls in Houston, Texas, the 21-year-old has declared himself eligible for the National Football League Draft.

And if the countless mock drafts on football websites are accurate, Covington will be among a handful of Canadians chosen. Just 30 Canadians have been drafted over the past three decades.

“I’m nervous, I’m anxious,” he admitted. “I want to get it over with and go back to football. But it’s a process, and you have to allow the pro-cess to unravel at its own pace.”

Covington is back in Newton, at home with his parents, where friends and family will join him to watch this weekend’s draft.

“This is very much a good mental break,” he told Black Press Sunday, taking a break from power-washing the driveway. “I find myself at my most relaxed when I’m with my family.”

The first round, with each of the 32 NFL teams making one selection, takes place Thursday night. The second and third rounds are Friday evening, with rounds four through seven set for Saturday. Covington admits it will be difficult to watch while waiting to hear his name called, adding his father, Canadian Football League Hall of Famer Grover Covington, is “kind of stressing out, too.”

“I have family coming in from Winnipeg, from California, from Houston. Just to have family and good friends around me, nothing better than that,” Christian said. “Hopefully it’s over quick. Realistically, I’m hoping to hear my name called Friday. If not, I just get to have that time with my family for that much longer.”

Since he left for Rice in 2011, his visits home have been few, and usually short. His current Anthony Vasser/Rice Athletics photo

age, many players graduate high school and head off to college or join the workforce, and their priorities change.

But in the midst of all those new life changes, Cannon – who played juvenile hockey for Semiahmoo in the 1970s – said continuing to play hockey can be a “welcome break from your new reality.”

“You’ve got all these changes going on in your life, but once or twice a week, you can have something familiar, where not everything’s coming at you brand

new,” he said. Cannon said some of his best

memories are from his days playing minor hockey, including juvenile.

“When I played, it was a very welcome part of my life,” he said. “And if you ask any player what their best memories are, it’s the road trips and the friendships they made.”

Depending on numbers, it is possible that Semiahmoo could ice multiple juvenile teams – including, potentially, an ‘A’ division squad – but for now, the initial focus will be on putting

together a house-league/non-contact team.

“It would be up to the kids, whether they’d want to play ‘A’ or at the rec-level, but for now, just letting the kids know is the first step,” he said.

“Adult hockey leagues are non-contact, so hopefully we can provide a transition between youth and adult hockey. This is the hockey you’re going to play for the rest of your life.”

Hockey should be ‘lifetime sport’ from page 31

sports

stay ranks among the longest, and is a welcome break from academ-ics and athletics, both of which he excelled at in Houston.

Expected to receive his degree in Kinesiology and Sports Medi-cine in December, Covington redshirted (practised, but did not play) in 2011. He played in 12 games as a freshman in 2012, and in 2013 was a Conference USA all-star while recording 59 tackles and four sacks on an Owls team that won the conference championship.

Covington said the champion-ship was what he will remember most about being an Owl.

“Not many players can say they’ve been on a team that’s a

part of school history,” he said. “It was the first one in 56 years, it was unbelievable.”

A knee injury limited his par-ticipation to just seven games last season. The injury sidelined him for the final five games of the schedule, as well as for the Hawaii Bowl on Dec. 24 in Honolulu.

Covington considered returning to Rice, “but once I was able to get away from football and school life, I took that time to… be with my family, and think about what’s best for me. I thought this was an opportunity to capture a dream I’ve had since I was a little kid.

“I don’t regret my decision, I’m fully recovered.”

Since the injury, he has had

workouts with the Houston Tex-ans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Min-nesota Vikings and Detroit Lions.

Should Covington achieve his goal of playing in the NFL, he will have followed a similar career path as his American-born father. Grover, a North Carolina native, travelled north of the border for a 10-year Hall-of-Fame career in Canada with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. After settling in Surrey, he and wife Natasha are now watch-ing their Canadian-born son pos-sibly head south to play as a pro.

“It’s kind of funny to think about that,” the younger Covington said, adding he never thought of the coincidence.

“It’s kind of ironic.”

SCHENDERLING, Ernest Paul

Feb. 17 1960 - Apr 25 2015

Paul entered fully into the presence of His Lord & Savior on Saturday, April 25, 2015, at the age of 55 years, following a four-month battle with can-cer. He was a Godly man who maintained optimism by the strength of the Lord and devot-ed all his considerable deter-mination to what he - and we - knew was to be a titanic battle. It is with great sadness to an-nounce that the Lord has called him home.Paul was preceded in death by his parents John and Elisabeth as well as his nephew Jesse. He is survived by his 5 chil-dren, Rob (Jennifer), Jeremy, Jeff, Brittany and Brianne; by the mother of his children, Wendy; his 3 grandchildren, Emma, Nolan and Evelyn: his girlfriend Sandra; 7 siblings Pete (Diane), John (Jan), Tina (Karl), Jeannette (Harry), Elsa (Paul), Randy (Brenda), and Arnie. Paul is deeply missed by other extended family members and countless friends and neighbours. Paul was a remarkable father and businessman, brother, uncle, nephew, and friend. He was a pillar to many families and friends around him. He was an incredible soul who made countless sacrifi ces so that his children could become the people they are today. A ser-vice of celebration, of Paul’s life, will be held on Friday, May 1, 2015 at 4:00 p.m. at South-Ridge Fellowship Baptist Church 22756 - 48 Avenue Langley, BC with Pastor Doug Smith offi ciating.
