Widow’s home reported as having a 8,791-sq.-ft. second floor over a 1,746-sq.-ft. main floor

Typo sends house assessment soaring Jeff Nagel Black Press

Shirley Paulenko just about panicked when she opened her property assessment to find the value of her South Surrey house had soared 43 per cent in a single year. The $450,000 jump in her assessment to more than $1.5 million would mean a big jump in the

recently widowed senior’s property tax bill. “I was so flabbergasted,” Paulenko said last week. “I lost a night’s sleep. I thought, ‘holy man, how could this possibly be going up by this much money?’” Her son looked at the assessment notice for the two-storey home near 140 Street and 26 Avenue

and found the answer. It showed she lives in what friends now joke is the “mushroom house” – a 1,746-sq.-ft. first floor with a giant 8,791-sq.-ft. second storey somehow perched on top. BC Assessment says a typing error added a fourth digit for the second floor by mistake. Assessors have now corrected

both the square footage and reduced Paulenko’s assessment to just over $1.1 million, an eightper-cent increase Paulenko still has her doubts about. But it’s not the only case where residents in the region are complaining about either errors or unusual changes in the assessment authority’s calculation of their house size.

“I think there’s going to be a whole pile of these errors,” said Surrey accountant Cindy Konkin. She and her husband are appealing their Newton house’s 8.6-percent assessment increase to $554,000 because it shows what they say is a fictitious 1,100-sq.-ft. increase in the size of the home. › see page 4

Without warning Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Eight blocks of South Surrey’s 8 Avenue – between 192 and 200 Streets – were closed for two days last week, as crews repaired damage triggered by heavy rains. “It’s a pretty major job,” said Jeff Welch, the City of Surrey’s southend roads and drainage manager. “We’re going down basically 30 feet and having to build the road up 30 feet, so there’s lots of gravel, there’s lots of riprap, lots of stabilization that has to be done to make sure the road doesn’t slip away.” At about 5:30 a.m. Wednesday, a portion of the shoulder on the road’s south side washed out in the 19500-block. It would have been impossible to predict, Welch said.

No memory after inadvertently consuming whisky with prescription medication, Charles says

Semiahmoo councillor’s impaired-driving conviction upheld Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A Semiahmoo First Nation councillor has lost an appeal of her convictions for impaired and dangerous driving. Joanne Charles fought the convictions – handed down in August 2011 – on the basis that Crown lawyers did not prove she had intended to commit the offence, according to a B.C. Court of Appeal Joanne Charles judgment rendered last week. band spokesperson Charles – the spokesperson for Semi-

ahmoo First Nation – was arrested more than 20 kilometres from her home, where she had consumed a family member’s prescription-strength pain pills and up to four ounces of whisky. Charles testified she has no recollection of what happened between the drink and when she woke up in a jail cell. The argument didn’t sway B.C. Appeal Court Justice Jon Sigurdson. “The evidence clearly shows that she voluntarily and recklessly embarked on

a course of ingestion of alcohol and drugs that led to her intoxication,” Sigurdson writes in his reasons for judgment posted online Thursday. Reached by phone that afternoon, Charles initially said she had “no idea” about the matter, but upon further questions confirmed it was her case. She asked where Peace Arch News got the information. “Why are you wanting to do anything with that?” she said. “Personally, I’d like

you not to report on anything.” Charles ended the call when told her request couldn’t be honoured. According to the judgment, on Sept. 6, 2008 Charles was found behind the wheel of a truck that coasted to a stop on River Road after a Delta police officer tried for nearly three kilometres to get the vehicle to pull over. The truck matched the description of a vehicle in an earlier 911 call. › see page 2

‘Not remembering’ no defence › from page 1 When yelled at to turn the truck off, Charles “did not respond and continued to hold the steering wheel with both hands, staring straight ahead,” the judgment states. A half-full bottle of Crown Royal whisky was among items found in the truck. The officer demanded a breath sample and issued a 24-hour driving prohibition. Both Charles and her sister, Kathryn Jensen, gave evidence at trial, explaining how the pair had met up “some days before” in Washington State, where Charles told her sister about “trouble she was having with her knee (which she had injured in a fall a month prior) and how much pain she was having from” abdominal cramping. Jensen testified she gave Charles about six of the pain pills she takes for a painful condition, describing them as being “like super Extra Strength Tylenol.” The court heard the pills were, in reality, a generic form of Vicodin. “On the day of the alleged offences, the appellant had gone to the liquor store (and) returned to her home on the Semiahoo Reservation,” the judgment states. “She… decided to look for Ibuprofen in her medicine cabinet. Instead she found the pills that her sister had given her and decided to take two. The appellant had not planned to go out that day. “She ingested two of the pills given to her by her sister, and drank about 2.5-4.0 oz. of Crown Royal whisky. The appellant testified that she has no recollection of further events until she woke up in a jail cell.” Jensen told the court she did not know the pills shouldn’t be taken with alcohol and that she did not tell Charles that the pills were prescription medication. An expert witness testified that mixing the two causes a “severe” reaction, with symptoms ranging from drowsiness to confusion. “He testified that if this drug is taken with any alcohol, 4 oz. of alcohol will be additive or super-additive to those effects, and could cause ‘coma, severe mental confu-

White Rock

sion, drowsiness and dizziness, and lack of memory,’” Sigurdson writes. At trial, Charles submitted that her driving and impairment were involuntary, and that she’d had no intention of driving after consuming the pills and whisky. She also testified she previously had taken Tylenol, with dinner and a drink, and “nothing had happened.” The trial judge found that “she alone decided to consume the pills and a very significant amount of alcohol. “No one forced her or secretly caused her to do so,” he ruled. “She also took a number of steps which clearly establishes she formed the intention to drive… sitting in the driver’s seat, turning the vehicle on, putting it in gear, and physically manipulating the brake, accelerator and steering wheel to drive the vehicle for an extended period of time. “She may not have initially planned to drive, but on the evidence she clearly changed those plans following her consumption of the pills and alcohol. Her supposed inability to remember, likely due to her advanced state of intoxication, is really of no assistance and does not in any way bring into question this evidence which proves her intention to drive her vehicle after consuming the pills and alcohol.” The trial judge did not accept that Charles didn’t realize the pills were strong, nor that she didn’t believe they were prescriptionstrength. She knew her sister used the pills to manage pain from trigeminal neuralgia, “the most painful medical disease known to the medical community.” Charles was handed fines totalling $2,012.50 and two one-year driving prohibitions. While Sigurdson found the trial judge erred in noting that anything stronger than Extra Strength Tylenol requires a prescription, Crown Christina Godlewska argued the error is irrelevant and the fact Charles took the pills then drank alcohol “in itself is enough to constitute recklessness,” the judgment notes. “Merely not remembering is not a defence in the circumstances,” Sigurdson agreed.

West Beach development draws organized opposition to White Rock City Hall

Residents cite ‘confusion and muddle’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

White Rock residents concerned about a development proposed for West Beach are once again rallying, following word of an application to increase the project’s height. Council members meeting as the land use and planning committee Monday night (after Peace Arch News press deadline) were to consider an amendment to zoning that would enable proponents of the complex – eyed for 1.14 acres encompassing 14807 Marine Dr., 1184 Oxford St. and 14818 to 14832 Buena Vista Ave. – to add 0.47 metres (1.5 feet) to one building and 0.6 m (1.95 ft) to another. The changes “will provide better visual balance between the two buildings and would have little, if any, impact to view corridors

beyond the project,” notes a staff report supporting the application. The overall project consists of five buildings in four components: a four-storey apartment building, two three-storey townhouse structures, a two-unit townhouse building and a segment of two-storey townhouses over at-grade commercial units. The two-unit townhouse building is an addition to earlier plans. Height has long been a source of concern for area residents, and the latest application has only raised those concerns. “There are just some questions here that are just extremely bizarre to me,” said Bob Berger, who lives across the street from the site. “There seems to be some confusion and muddle.”

The revised project was the subject of a public information meeting in November, during which attendees were told of plans to reduce the number of residential units to 62 from 67 and increase parking spots to 124 from 101. Residents who attended also noticed a height increase at that time, which a city official later told PAN was the result of a miscalculation by the city of where the natural grade begins. “Technically, it’s two feet higher, but it’s not,” planner Connie Halbert said. “They’re not getting any more (building) height than they were allowed. The physical height is changing because they used the wrong starting point.” Berger is not convinced that “better visual

balance” is behind the increased-height request that was to be discussed last night. “What they’re actually, I think, trying to do is add another storey… and trying to find whatever argument they can to make that possible,” he said. Residents, he said, are “very frustrated.” An email distributed Friday encouraged those with concerns to attend Monday’s meeting, and suggested residents have not been given accurate information. It also criticized the “wrong starting point error,” and pushed for residents to “take action” by contacting the mayor and council. “It’s a matter of principle for me at this point,” Berger said. “We’re going to be vigilant.” If the committee supports the amendments, a public hearing will be scheduled.

IHIT investigating

Three killed in shootings Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Three people are dead and one is injured after three separate shootings in Surrey over the weekend. At about 7 p.m. Sunday, a man was shot near 168 Street and 76 Avenue. He was transported to hospital where he died at 11:30 p.m. Police believe that shooting to be gang-related. “This shooting is a targeted shooting on the victim who was known to police. He has been identified as 27-year-old Surrey resident Manjot Dhillon,” Sgt. Jennifer Pound, with the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT), said in a release. RCMP were later called to a parkade at an apartment building near 128 Street and 94 Avenue, just before midnight Sunday, where they found two men shot to death. It has not been revealed whether police believe the two events were related. IHIT is asking anyone who may have any information to call 1-877551-IHIT(4448) or email ihittipline@rcmp-grc.gc.ca If you wish to remain anonymous, provide your tip information on the web at solvecrime.ca or by phone at 1-800-222-8477 The spate of violence occurred just days after a man shot himself with his own gun. The victim was chasing off what he believed to be a suspicious individual near his home in the 12500block of 70A Avenue on Saturday at just after 8 p.m. During the chase, the 41-year-old accidentally shot himself in the ankle. He was taken to hospital and is expected to make a full recovery. Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said the man was lucky not to be more seriously hurt. “We repeat it all the time – don’t engage with any suspicious person,” Paquet said. “(When) in doubt of suspicious activity, call the police… In this case, we’re actually very lucky nothing worse happened.”

Icy conditions on South Surrey’s Croydon Drive sent one driver sliding off the road and into the ditch Monday morning. Firefighters assisted at least two people – including a young child – out of the four-door Suzuki just after 9 a.m. No injuries were reported. The icy conditions aren’t expected to last long, as slightly warmer temperatures are forecast for the rest of the week.

2012 permits rose past $1.3 billion, largely from residential development

Surrey records 3rd best building year Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Surrey has recorded its third best building year on record, once again bursting through the billion-dollar mark for building permits. Recently released figures show Surrey issued $1.305 billion in building permits in 2012, eclipsing the previous year by $90 million. Surrey’s best year ever was in 2007, when it logged $1.488 billion in building permits, just ahead of the year prior when it issued $1.341 billion. Then, the economic crash of 2009 saw building permit values plummet to $859 million. That was followed by a couple of years logging just over $1.21 billion in construction. Most of Surrey’s success last year came by way of the residential sector, which at $745 million accounted for more than half of building values in 2012. It’s an increase of almost $100 million from the previous year. Much of the residential growth was in Grandview Heights in South Surrey, south Newton, and Cloverdale. Commercial building in Surrey dropped by $72 million from the previous year, registering

only $194 million in 2012. Surrey was not meeting sustainable levels. The bulk of that was due to expansion and “A ratio of 60 per cent residential and 40 per renovations at the Guildford Town Centre, cent industrial and commercial is considered according to Surrey’s General Manager of to be the minimum level necessary relative Planning and Development Jean LaMontagne. to the long-term health of the city,” the staff Industrial developments fell by about $20 report said. million (to $55.9 million), while institutional Burnaby draws 50 per cent from industry and developments shot up by almost 50 per cent to commerce, Richmond 49 per cent and Vancou$292 million. ver 56 per cent.

Police convene outside TD Canada Trust in South Surrey’s Grandview Corners Saturday afternoon.

Gunman aided by driver in getaway car

Armed robber hits bank Dan Ferguson & Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Police descended on a South Surrey bank Saturday after an armed man demanded cash and fled the scene. While a vehicle connected to the crime – which occurred at the TD Canada Trust in Grandview Corners – was recovered Sunday, two suspects remained at large as of Peace Arch News deadline Monday afternoon. Police say a lone man entered the branch and demanded money just before 3 p.m. Jan. 12.

A weapon was produced, but not used, Cpl. Bert Paquet said. The robber fled with an undisclosed amount of cash, jumping into the passenger-side of a small dark car. Twenty-four hours later, police were alerted to a black Pontiac that had been abandoned near 166 Street and 18 Avenue. Witness descriptions – which included a licence-plate number – connected the vehicle to the crime, Paquet said. It’s hoped a forensic exam will help identify the robbery suspects.

Police are not disclosing the type of weapon that was used. While an ambulance was called, Paquet said no injuries were reported. The robber is described as a white male aged 25 to 30, about 5’8” with a slender build, wearing dark clothing. Police do not have a description of the driver. Anyone with further information about the incident is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS if they wish to remain anonymous.

Support those hurt most by NHL lockout

ow that the millionaires and the billionaires have resolved how they will split up their pie, the NHL once again expects sports fans to forget the past seven hockey-less months and come crawling back. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said in August he was confident the NHL would recover from the lockout because, “we have the world’s greatest fans.” Apparently, having the world’s greatest fans means having the ability to walk all over them. Sports fans in White Rock and Surrey – and across the Lower Mainland – have long supported NHL hockey with an intensity normally reserved for religious fundamentalism. But with talks of fan boycotts, certainly some sports fans are tired of being disrespected by a league that takes their support for granted. Of course, the NHL isn’t the only game in town. Many other professional sports organizations, such as the Vancouver Giants, Vancouver Whitecaps and BC Lions, offer as good or better bang for your sports entertainment buck. And every time the NHL can’t get their act together, an increasing number of local sports fans discover there is more out there than just the Vancouver Canucks. Whether the NHL can recover this time remains to be seen. While Canadian hockey fans have a masochistic relationship with the NHL, and seem more than willing to endure any and all abuse from the league, American fans aren’t quite so forgiving. But as NHL hockey returns to the arenas and television screens, spare a thought for those who have been hurt most by the lock out – from local restaurants, pubs and sports bars to memorabilia shops and even cab drivers. The people who own and work at these local businesses are your neighbours, family and friends. Because the NHL and NHLPA couldn’t play nice, ordinary folks suffered the economic fallout. So if you do choose to return to following NHL hockey, why not go and watch the games at your local pub or sports bar, and take a cab home. These businesses live off the crumbs of NHL’s pie, and if anyone is deserving of your entertainment dollar, surely it’s them.

publicize a dramatic call to action from 350.org, one of the most strident climate change advocacy groups in the U.S., selectively using a quote and picture from The New York Times. Our debate turned to greenhouse gas emissions. I argued that this PAH study mirrors the true picture of carbon dioxide emissions, which is that nearly 70 per cent of CO2 from all petroleum comes when you burn the final product in engines and furnaces. In B.C., which doesn’t burn coal for electricity, fully 40 per cent of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions are from transportation. Other sources include home heating and industry. Berman insisted I was wrong, and claimed 70 per cent of Canada’s greenhouse gases come from “heavy industry.” I asked for her source. No response. A 2010 report by a Royal Society of Canada expert panel calculated that 27 per cent of our country’s fossil fuel emissions come from transportation. Another 16 per cent is from fuels burned for electricity. Five per cent is from oil sands operations. Berman’s figure is conveniently untrue. Greenpeace and the rest of the environmental scare industry want you to believe that stopping Alberta’s oil sands and pipelines would save the planet. Also wrong. It would drive oil demand from the U.S., Venezuela’s oil sands and elsewhere, with little net effect on the climate or pollution.

Too willing to go with flow

The buck stops with councillor

Editor: Re: Water upgrades on way, Jan. 1. My family lives in White Rock and we loved our pure drinking water – prior to last year. Since last year’s bleaching – albeit a small amount, Epcor says – the taste and quality has changed forever. And what a shame. Imagine what it will taste like when full treatment comes in. Did everyone out there know that once Fraser Health orders treatment you can never go back? Does it occur to anyone else out there that it is a liability for a water company to have people get sick from water and maybe just maybe this is a scare tactic to push bleaching through? Was the pigeon-droppings theory (Upgrades on way for Merklin reservoir, Sept. 1, 2010) ever proved, or is this about scaring senior citizens and protecting the company from future libel – just bleach the whole darn thing, then no one can accuse you of getting them sick? This water, which comes from Sunnyside uplands aquifier, are from wells 200-500 feet deep, is considered excellent quality, containing lots of trace minerals and elements, and what a treat it has been to drink nature’s bounty. I did a little research in 2005 on White Rock’s water and was shocked when I found out that the utility had come up for sale back in 1978 and was sold to a couple from Delta for $750,000-ish. Apparently, not many people came to bid. My question is – where was the council of the day? The city could have owned and controlled their own utility/asset and owned the 3.67 acres of land, too, and actually created revenue for the city, instead of relying on parking revenue all the time! What a royally lost opportunity to purchase cheap at the time. To the best that my memory serves, the couple from Delta eventually sold the utility to another purchaser for more money but still a reasonable sum for the day, which means the city had another opportunity to buy it, but the council of that day obviously didn’t feel that it was important or we would have heard about it. I only heard about it in Peace Arch News when the utility was sold – a third time – to Epcor. At the time, it was one of the largest water sources for sale in Canada and only serving 20,000 people. Incidentally, the report I read said Epcor will sell 2.67 acres of the land in 2013, as they don’t need it and aren’t in the business of real estate. Well that’s a smart deal for Epcor and helps pay for their original investment, too! To think White Rock City Hall could have been in charge of this asset just begs questioning. Is anybody out there wondering if we can do anything about choosing to drink nature’s bounty in its purest form, or are we just going to lie down and be told what to do by Fraser Health and a private utility company? Sheila Hunter-Tubic, White Rock

Editor: Re: ‘Huge, husky’ teen entraps liquor clerk, Dec. 4; Councillor’s business rapped by liquor board, Jan. 8. My vote for our new council member, Bill Lawrence, has sustained a serious hit as to my faith. Lawrence’s position regarding the various provincial liquor laws that govern his establishments and the due care and diligence required towards meeting the minimum requirements are a sad statement. The “buck” stops with him as the licencee and owner. To argue this differently makes no sense and defies the responsibility he signs for when obtaining his licencing. Minors and liquor are serious issues. Further, his establishments allowing more than the permitted number of people on a licensed premise do not address both policing and fire concerns – the

very reason seating capacity is determined in the first place. Blaming trickery by the enforcement branch is a very lame excuse, Mr. Lawrence, for not following the rules in the first place. Ron Eves, White Rock

Stage work appreciated Editor: Our own Dave Baron co-produced the Christmas pantomime, Pinocchio, which, by the way, was re-written by himself no less. It was a lot of fun and enjoyment. It boggles the mind when one thinks of the hours of preparation. Rehearsals. Sets and amazing costuming are a very small part of the overall production. The casting was excellent, and Bryce Mills did such an excellent job as the Dame that I had a pain in my side from so much laughter.

Many thanks to the White Rock Players’ Club and everyone who participated in this excellent presentation. M. Downey, Surrey

Missed opportunities Editor: Forty-eight games! I can’t believe they shorted the hockey season! On Sept. 15, revenue slowly came to an end for vendors, sports bars, and sports-wear shops and more. Fans are getting sad because their favourite team is on strike. Day after day, hockey fans start to watch and like other sports. None of the players should have complained. Now ask yourself this, what did I miss? I’m eight (almost nine) and I miss my dad yelling, “Yes! They won! We’re going to the playoffs!” Jenna Bowie, Surrey

Lawmakers must differentiate their perception of medical marijuana users from recreational users, say letter writers.

Patients need progressive view Editor: Re: A few bad seeds hurt patient, Jan. 8 editorial. Thank you for presenting a compassionate, factual editorial on the upcoming changes the Harper government is enacting. How refreshing to see this attitude in the media! I am a senior with multiple medical conditions. I have been under a doctor’s care and a federally licensed patient for 10 years. Due to cannabis, I have a good quality of life and am no longer taking pharmaceutical prescription drugs. The side effects of the prescription drugs were creating havoc in my life. I spent most of my time walking around like a zombie and either sleeping or watching TV for most of the day. Now, I have energy, a clear head and am involved in my community. Now, I am able to enjoy my family and grandchildren. Everything you said in your editorial is correct. One fact left out is that Health Canada radiates the cannabis they sell to patients. That policy will continue as they farm out to big companies. The government cannot tell us what harm ingesting radiated plant material will cause us as they have not done any studies. We have a right to “safe” medicine. I know others who grow their medicine for $300 per month or less, but with the new regulations they will have to pay over $3,000. When one lives on a CPP disability pension of less than $1,000 per month, this will be impossible. The Harper government continues to abuse and re-victimize our weakest and sickest. Legalizing or decriminalizing is not the answer for

patients. Regardless what happens in the recreational marijuana world, we need a separate model that allows us dignified, safe access at an affordable cost to our medicine, which includes allowing us to grow, or have grown, what works for us and/or have our medicine covered by MSP just as the chemical pharmaceuticals are. These are bad laws. Bad laws are meant to be broken, if it is in the interest of the public. I expect we will see these bad laws broken by many and the Harper government turning sick people into criminals. J. Davies, Surrey n I do appreciate the clear-thinking editorial remarks on cannabis. Thanks for the hotlinks on the Black Press web pages to learning and for stimulating the dialogue. Surely we can negotiate a modern model that allows people dignified, safe access at an affordable cost to this medicine in various forms – eaten, drops, vaporized and usually last recourse is inhaling/smoking. People should be able to grow the correct species that works for them, in moderation, and/or have cannabis medicine covered by MSP, just as chemical pharmaceuticals are. Medical uses of cannabis need to be distinct from the popular recreational culture of Hollywood movies that the media and reactionaries spin. We can not allow undue suffering and punitive expense for those suffering with cancer and other illnesses. The federal off-load entanglements with profit-making exploitation is not in the best interests of Canadians. Pat Petrala, White Rock

Details of Friday’s bail hearing in New Westminster Supreme Court are subject to a publication ban. Gurjinder (Gary) Dhaliwal, Batalia’s ex-boyfriend, was also charged with first-degree murder in relation to her death. He remains in custody. Batalia, a 19-yearold SFU student, was gunned down in the Central City parkade following a late night of studying. She suffered multiple gunshot wounds in what police believe was a targeted attack. Bedi and Dhaliwal are due to appear in Surrey Provincial Court Jan. 25.

Trial delayed The trial of a truck driver charged in connection with the January 2011 death of a 59-year-old South Surrey man has been pushed back six weeks. According to court records, evidence in the case of Glen Edward Theriault is now set to be heard in Surrey Provincial Court over five days in July, instead of getting underway in May. Theriault is charged with dangerous driving causing death in connection with the crash that killed 59-year-old Jim Neiss, who worked as a bus driver with the Langley School District. Neiss died around 5:30 a.m. Jan. 18, 2011 when a Sterling dump truck collided head-on with his Ford Explorer in the 19800-block of 16 Avenue. Theriault, identified at the time of the crash as a Burnaby resident, pleaded not guilty to the charge against him last April. A trial was initially set for May 28-31 and June 3. It is now scheduled for July 22-25 and 29.

Port’s expansion plans trigger pollution, health concerns

Officials seek coal input Jeff Nagel Black Press

Medical health officers for the Lower Mainland’s two health authorities are requesting a “formal voice” in Port Metro Vancouver’s expansion plans, such as the pending decision on a proposed new coal terminal in Surrey. The Dec. 17 letter to the port is signed by Dr. Paul van Buynder, Fraser Health’s vicepresident of public health and chief medical health officer, and his counterpart at Vancouver Coastal, Dr. Patricia Daly. Port expansion projects can bring more air emissions and noise, as well as increased road and rail traffic, the letter said, pointing in particular to the Fraser Surrey Docks proposal to add a new coal terminal and a proposed coal terminal expansion at Neptune Terminals in North Vancouver. It notes Port Metro Vancouver is primarily responsible for the impacts of direct port activities, but not indirect ones, such as increased road and rail traffic in surrounding communities. “Rail and road trafic produce air emissions, noise and risk of injury, as well as livability concerns,” the health officers’ letter says. “The public increasingly expects health impact considerations to take a broader systems perspective.” They say a multistakeholder assessment of health impacts – in use by port officials in Los Angeles – could be a valuable addition to the port’s project approval process and provide “meaningful public engagement.” Numerous health professionals and groups including the BC Lung Association, have previously called on the port to conduct more studies of possible health impacts from the coal expansion projects before any decision on approving them. The Fraser Surrey Docks and Neptune proposals would boost coal shipments through Port Metro Vancouver by 14 million tonnes per year or 35 per cent. Opponents object to the port’s ability

VICTORIA – All students in Grade 4 and 7 who are able to are expected to write tests of literacy and math skills this month, but changes will be considered for future years, B.C. Education Minister Don McRae says. Long opposed by the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, the Foundation Skills Assessment tests are being administered in public schools across B.C. The issue is sure to be debated in this spring’s provincial election, as the NDP campaigns to scrap universal testing and look for a new way

to evaluate student performance. McRae said Wednesday there will be no change to the program this school year, with students only excused due to family emergency, illness or other circumstances beyond the control of the student. But he said he is open to discussing the program with the BCTF, school administrators and parents for years ahead. “Any time we have a form of assessment, I think it’s really important that after you give it, if you’re going to give it again, you continually look at it to see if it can be done better or more efficiently, and meet the

needs of the students, the parents and the educational system,” McRae said. NDP education critic Robin Austin said work is underway with education experts to refine the party’s position on skills testing. If the NDP forms a government in May’s election, the plan is to replace provincewide tests with a random sample of students, and develop a new program later. Austin said one of the problems with FSA testing is the annual controversy over the Fraser Institute school rankings based on test scores. The rankings are intended to help parents track their local

school’s performance over time, but media attention typically focuses on comparing schools in rich neighbourhoods and poor ones. The BCTF continues to urge parents to bend the rules and pull their children out of the testing program. A letter to parents on the BCTF website argues that FSA tests are expensive, time consuming and “results are misused to rank schools and promote privatization.” McRae said FSA test results for all students have played a role in identifying students who need extra help, and can also help administrators spot

performance problems in their schools. But he agreed with Austin that it would not be appropriate to use FSA tests alone

to evaluate teacher performance. Mary Ellen TurpelLafond, B.C.’s Representative for Children and Youth,

The ‘new’ Family Law Act will replace the Family Relations Act in British Columbia on March 18, 2013. Legislated change always seems decades behind social and economic reality. What will this new legislation mean for you ? In respect to couples and ‘community property’: 1. Unmarried or ‘common law’ spousei will now be entitled to property relief under the statute. This is a significant change. Currently, the Family Relations Act does not cover common law relationships. Before, ii in order to receive a share of property acquired during a “common law relationship”, but where title or ownership of the property is only in the other spouse’s name, the ‘onus’ was on you to show why the property or its value should be shared with you. Under the new Family Law Act , however, the ‘onus’ is the other way around. There will be a presumption that property acquired during the relationship is Family Property and is to be shared equally, unless it is “significantly unfair”, just as in the case of married couples. iii The onus now shifts to the ‘non-titled’ spouse to show it would be “significantly unfair” to share. 2. Pre-marital property, acquired prior to the ‘relationship’, will be Excluded Property iv and separately owned by that respective spouse, unless it is “significantly unfair”. But, the increase in value of the Excluded Property is divisible. Note that In the case of common law relationships, one must seek the division of property with 2 years of the date of separation. In regard to Child Support, the Child Support Guidelines and the basic legal principles will continue to apply. Similarly, with Spousal Support, the language of the new Family Law Act will not change the basic legal principles or the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines. Time and space being limited, if you have any questions, please feel free to call my office. Robert Brajovic Personal Law Corp – (604) 536-5373 i Married or having lived together in a marriage-like relationship for 2 years or more. ii Or until March 18, 2013 iii The same applies to debt acquired during the relationship iv Including property acquired with Excluded Property

White Rock facility helps women address range of addictions

Taking the first step towards recovery Alex Browne

Staff Reporter

or many battling an addiction, the hardest step is seeking help and support. There’s a sense of shame to overcome, but also the many complex systems of rationalization and denial we humans construct to cover up our problems – which only ensure they continue. Cindy Morrison, manager of the White Rock branch of the Avalon Women’s Centres, at 101-1548 Johnston Rd., knows the hardest step for the women she meets is the one that brings them in the front door. But she and the branch’s network of volunteers – most of them also on the road to recovery – are determined that, from there on in, the steps will be as easy as they can make them. Avalon Women’s Centres do not provide counselling, Morrison emphasized. Instead they facilitate, and offer a venue for, a range of established 12-step programs dealing with addictions (which can include alcohol and narcotics, but also ❝We’re all behaviours such as from different anorexia and bulimia). walks of life.❞ The White Rock branch, which opened in Cindy Morrison November, joins a centre manager on the North Shore and the original Vancouver location, which has been helping women for some 30 years. The welcoming atmosphere starts with the comforting main room of the centre itself – a private, closed-blinds environment of settees and couches, that, thanks to the creative decor contributions of volunteers, provides a restful, far-from-institutional setting. “I actually had a woman come in here and think she was in the wrong place – she thought this was a spa,” Morrison said, with justifiable pride, during a recent tour of the facility. “It’s really comfy – like a living room. We want it to feel like that.” A well-appointed and equipped children’s room with movies, toys and colouring supplies; a shelf of books; clothing exchanges for both adults and children; a coffee room with a notice board full of listings offering free items, job postings and other material help, as well as less-tangible support – all these are aimed at creating a respite for women balancing their problems with the necessities of carrying on daily lives. But the biggest surprise for those visiting the centre, Morrison said, is the discovery

Cindy Morrison discusses the 12-step program used at White Rock’s Avalon Women’s Centre to help women address addiction issues. of a friendly, welcoming, non-judgmental group of women very much like themselves. What many may have dreaded as a bleak road to recovery, can instead become the basis for a new and positive social interaction – which even includes the opportunity to take part in monthly potluck dinners with guest speakers. As in the other centres, the White Rock branch features a ‘Sobriety Tree’ on which women can chart and celebrate their accomplishments, she said. There is a spiritual base for Avalon’s support, Morrison acknowledges. “But it’s not religious – it’s completely nondenominational.” Morrison, who is very open about being a

recovering alcoholic, knows from her own experience that people battling addictions are not always ready for help. But Avalon is ready to supply a supportive environment for women who have made a genuine commitment to recover, she said. “I share my own experience – I’m in my eighth year of recovery,” she noted, adding that the women who visit the centre soon learn that they are not alone in their problems or their inevitable struggles with their own doubts and fears. “We share a 12-step experience, but we’re from all different walks of life, all different ages,” she said, adding that those suffering often defy common stereotypes of addiction. Some work very hard to conceal the fact

there is a problem, she said. “When I first (sought help) many years ago, I didn’t want anyone to know I was going to meetings,” she said. “But everyone knew I was a drinker.” Integral to all of the programs is a component of giving back, which includes donating and volunteering to help others with addiction problems. The greatest satisfaction of all is to be able to help others over the same hurdles, she said, particularly at the beginning of their journey. “It’s wonderful to see someone who walked in here looking nervous and frightened leaving with a smile,” she said.

health mind body

ith the new year often comes new goals, routines and commitments. And because fitness is on the minds of many this time of year, what better time to try something new in the way of exercise? It seems every few years a new fitness craze bursts onto the scene – Zumba, spinning, tae-bo, just to name a few of the past couple decades. And this year is no exception, with a huge selection of fitness classes on the Semiahmoo Peninsula to help you work up a sweat and get back into shape. In addition to their ever-popular spin, step and bootcamp classes, Sandcastle Fitness Club on 152 Street has introduced some new group fitness classes for the new year. A ballet-inspired barre class – designed to strengthen, tone and sculpt your entire body – is already proving to be a popular addition to the club’s roster. Members can choose between a barre-only class or one that incorporates a cardio component (known as Pump ‘n’ Barre), which includes low-impact choreography to challenge your heart and lungs. Another popular new group class at Sandcastle is an interval training exercise known as Tabata Boom. The method, founded in Japan by Izumi Tabata, is a type of high-intensity interval training, which has been proven to improve athletes’ aerobic systems as well as their anaerobic systems. It follows a cycle of 20 seconds of intense work, followed by 10 seconds of rest. The cycle is then repeated eight times for a total of four minutes of exercise. In addition to the aerobic and anaerobic benefits of Tabata workouts, participants can also expect decreased body fat and overall better athletic performance. Because this is an intense workout, however, it may not be the best for elderly participants, those with medical conditions or joint concerns or those who are just getting back into the swing of working out. If you do fall in to one of those categories, or are looking for a way to ease yourself back into a workout regime, Sandcastle also › see page 15

High-tech fitness help T hese days, it seems everywhere we look people are plugged into some sort of smartphone, tablet or laptop. While you might think this addiction to technology can only hamper your health and fitness by distracting you from the gym and encouraging a sedentary life, there are actually many ways in which high-tech gadgets can be used to help reach your fitness goals. According to Shirley Garrett, personal trainer and founder of Leaps and Bounds in South Surrey, the latest in fitness technology gadgets, apps and websites can help provide valuable insight into one’s progress. The most basic gadget that Garrett recommends is a pedometer, a small device that you wear that counts the number of steps you take in a day. While Garrett admits these gadgets are often not 100 per cent accurate, they can be a great eye-opener for someone getting started on a fitness regime. “They really raise

Gadgets, apps and websites can help keep you on track. awareness as to how active you are in a day,” she said. “That’s a really good way to get started.” If you’re looking for something a little fancier, there are a number of watch devices on the market that track a wide range of fitness data, many of them enabled with GPS. Popular with walkers, runners and cyclists, Garrett says these highertech gadgets, provide a more accurate picture of one’s overall fitness and progress, as you can input a number of variables including age, sex and weight. The GPS component allows for

a very accurate calorie count, as it can take into consideration routes that go uphill and downhill. For a device that tracks a different, yet equally important, aspect of health, Garrett suggests a Calm Beat monitor, which measures breathing and heart rate levels and promotes calmness and focus. “It doesn’t focus on calories burned,” Garrett explains. “But it’s for people who are looking to reduce stress and let breathing become their focus.” Another unique device is the Body Media › see page 15

Health, Mind & Body Ballet-inspired fitness popular › from page 13 offers lower-intensity group classes. Their Young at Heart series (including a specific Young at Heart Yoga class) targets participants 55 and older or those looking for a slow-paced, well-balanced and lowimpact program. Classes consist of a warm-up, cardiovascular training, muscle conditioning and stretching. New to White Rock this past year is a workout known as The Dailey Method. With a goal to make you longer, leaner and

stronger, The Dailey Method combines ballet barre work, core conditioning, yoga and orthopedic exercises to strengthen and stretch all the major muscle groups in your body. With proper alignment as a primary focus, each muscle is worked to full fatigue with a small range of motion, followed by a series of active stretches to create a supple muscle. According to Judie Wilson, who runs the White Rock Dailey Method studio, it’s a program that is suitable

for a wide range of fitness levels. “We find people who have been sedentary for a long time have quick results, but it’s also great for super fit people as well,” Wilson said. “So it really fits everybody. But it depends on what you put into it, like anything else in fitness.” Wilson notes the Dailey Method is also a great workout routine for pregnant women, and the boutique Vidal Street studio also offers child minding.

Keep track of workouts with app › from page 14 armband, which accurately measures things like sweat response and body temperature. Garrett said these are not only easy to use, but are enabled with bluetooth to automatically send updates to your computer or other device, and allows a trainer to log onto a client’s account to monitor their progress. When it comes to setting, tracking and meeting fitness goals, My Fitness Pal is a free, helpful tool with a wide range of functions. Found online at www.myfitnesspal.com, or available to download for smartphones or tablet devices, the app is very detailed and

includes daily input of everything from food to activity. It includes a huge database of food products with complete nutritional information. This type of tool is particularly helpful for people who may need a wake-up call when it comes to their consumption, Garrett says. “Many people are really unaware of how much they’re eating and how much they’re supposed to eat.” Whether you’re a fitness buff looking to challenge yourself or just starting to exercise, there’s a wide range of tools and gadgets available to help keep you motivated to meet your fitness goals.

Explore ‘superfoods’ for superior health benefits

ow that we’re halfway through January, the hustle, bustle and merriment of the holidays are becoming a distant memory. The damage we may have done to our waistlines indulging in holiday goodies, however, may still be very present. If you’re having a hard time sticking to a new diet or workout regime, it might be a good idea to take a step back and simplify your goals. One way to get your health back on track is to start incorporating certain extra healthy foods into your diet. Known as ‘superfoods,’ these items are calorie sparse but are packed with nutrition and can help promote good health in some way. They are most often natural and unprocessed, and great sources of anti-oxidants and phytonutrients – plant-based nutrients considered exceptionally healthy. It should be noted that the term

‘superfoods’ is sometimes used as a buzzword or marketing tool, however, so consumers are advised to do their own research and consult with health experts when making dietary decisions. While there is no definitive list of superfoods, here are a few examples of the types of nutrient-rich choices that, when included in a balanced diet, can go a long way in improving overall health. • Berries: strawberries, blueberries and cranberries are all a big source of phytochemicals, compounds found in

plants that can improve health and decrease risk for certain diseases. Berries also contain fibre which is great for reducing cholesterol levels. Acai berries are particularly helpful, as they are high in antioxidants and are a rich source of amino acids, essential fatty acids and vital trace minerals. • Salmon: Salmon is a complete protein that is rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which have been shown to lower cholesterol levels.

› from page 16 into an exercise regime, as the omega-3s help to keep joints lubricated and keep down inflammation. A very important consideration when buying salmon, however, is whether to choose wild or farmed fish. The environmental impact of farming practices has been widely criticized, and experts warn that farmed salmon may contain chemicals. • Whole grains: There is a variety of whole grains that each offer unique benefits, but in general, whole grains contain protein and are a good source of minerals, iron, phosphorus, magnesium and zinc. Buckwheat is a whole grain of choice for people with type-2 diabetes, as it has been shown to have a good effect on blood-glucose levels. It also contains phytochemicals, which have been attributed to reducing high blood pressure when consumed regularly. Quinoa, often dubbed a ‘super grain,’ has more protein than others in the whole grain family, and also is high in calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, zinc and iron. And barley is a good source of fibre and selenium, which helps prevent cellular damage. • Nuts: Because nuts can be high in calories and contain more fat than other superfoods, they should be eaten in moderation. When done so, they provide nutrition that is difficult to find in other foods. Like whole grains, different nuts provide different nutrients and in turn, different health benefits. Almonds are a rich source of antioxidant vitamin E, which can help keep your heart healthy. Walnuts contain melatonin, which can help your sleep

cycle, as well as ellagic acid, another antioxidant that has been found to have anti-cancer properties. Peanuts are jampacked with protein and contain the same flavonoid found in red grapes and red wine, which research has found to be linked to lower rates of cancer. The high levels of fiber and magnesium found in nuts has also been found to help lower the risk of type-2 diabetes. • Beans/Lentils: High in protein and low in fat and sodium, beans and lentils are also a good source of complex carbohydrates and dietary fiber. When combined with whole grains such as barley or oats, beans and lentils provide all the amino acids necessary to make a complete protein for vegetarians. While this list is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to exploring the world of superfoods, incorporating these items into your diet on a regular basis is a great first step towards many healthy and happy years ahead.

Recipes made healthier

Give your favourite dishes a nutritious makeover with these tips

healthy diet plays a significant role in a person’s overall health. Without a healthy diet, men and women are more susceptible to disease and other potentially harmful ailments. But when many people think of a healthy diet, a lack of flavour is often one of the first things to come to mind. That’s a common misconception, as a diet that’s healthy and full of nutrients can simultaneously be flavourful. Oftentimes, a few minor alterations to a recipe is all it takes to turn the dish from high-risk to healthy. • Trim the fat. No one wants to eat fat, but fat isn’t entirely bad for you. Fat can help your body absorb vitamins A, D, E and K, and replacing fat with something like carbohydrates decreases how much these valuable vitamins are absorbed. But overconsumption of dietary fat can be dangerous, and many people simply need to trim some fat from their diets. One way to do that is to reduce how much butter, shortening or oil you use when cooking. For some recipes, you may be able to cut suggested portions of such ingredients by half without replacing them; however, for others, especially those for baked goods, these items may have to be replaced. In the case of the latter, find a suggested alternative to high-fat items, and only use half of the high-fat item listed in the original recipe. Chances are you won’t taste the difference, but your body will be better for it. • Substitute healthier fare. Substituting

This is a conservative chiropractic treatment that may alleviate the need for surgery, and is also used for patients with disc issues, or rehabilitating back or neck injury.

...creating healthy, beautiful smiles

Making small changes to recipes makes them healthier without sacrificing taste.

items is another way to turn a favourite dish into a healthier dish without altering the flavour dramatically, if at all. For example, instead of cooking with enriched pasta, purchase whole-wheat or whole-grain pastas, which are higher in fibre and lower in calories. If a recipe calls for using milk, choose fat-free milk instead of whole milk. Recipes can even be made healthier by simply cutting back on the main dish and adding more vegetables. • Change your methods. Certain cooking techniques are healthier than others. Frying foods or cooking with fat, oil or salt is not the healthiest way to prepare a meal. Some of your favourite dishes that call for frying or cooking in oil can be just as flavourful if you opt for healthier methods like braising, broiling, grilling, or steaming. When recipes call for basting foods in oil or drippings, forgo these unhealthy options and baste foods in vegetable juice or fat-free broth instead.

Aries, your domestic side will come out this week when you decide to play host or hostess to friends or family. You may reveal some surprising skills in the kitchen.

GEMINI

SAGITTARIUS

You may need to reconsider your purchasing power, Gemini. Your finances may not be what they seem at this moment, and you could need to play things conservatively.

Surrey swaps Mason Blacklock to Vernon on trade-deadline day

Eagles win three

Eagles add Vipers’ sniper to nest Big wins for Birds

Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

The Surrey Eagles landed one of the bigger fish on the BC Hockey League trade market Thursday, adding forward Adam Tambellini from the Vernon Vipers in exchange for Mason Blacklock and future considerations. With BCHL teams following a league-imposed media-embargo until 10 a.m. Friday morning – more than 12 hours after the league’s 8 p.m. Jan. 10 deadline – Tambellini broke news of his trade himself, announcing on Twitter Thursday afternoon that he was “going to miss all the guys in Vernon, couldn’t ask for better friends. Excited to move on and become a member of the Surrey Eagles.” Tambellini has 22 goals and 39 points in 36 games with Vernon this season. The 18-year-old – whose father, Steve, is a one-time Vancouver Canuck player and executive and current general manager of the Edmonton Oilers – is also one of the BCHL’s top prospects for the upcoming National Hockey League Entry Draft. Tambellini, who has a scholarship secured with the University of North Dakota, is rated as a ‘B’ prospect by NHL Central Scouting. Tambellini’s older brother, Jeff, is a former BCHL star with the Chilliwack Chiefs who has also played with the Vancouver Canucks and Los Angeles Kings. He now plays professionally in Switzerland. “We like the way our team has been playing as of late, and we’re excited to be able to add a proven goal scorer in Adam,” said Eagles head coach and GM Matt Erhart in a Friday morning press release. “I think he’ll fit in well with our group up front, but whenever you make a deal where you bring in a player like Adam, you have to give up a quality player in return. Mason has really turned his game around, especially in the last 20 games, and he’s going to a good situation in Vernon where he’ll get an opportunity to be a big part of that team and showcase himself for

The Surrey Eagles acquired forward Adam Tambellini (left) from Vernon at Thursday’s trade deadline. the future.” Blacklock was in his first season with his hometown Eagles after being acquired in a trade Sept. 15. The well-travelled Semiahmoo Minor Hockey Association alum – he’s also played in Langley and Nanaimo – had nine goals and 17 points in 32 games with the Eagles this season. On Thursday, Blacklock also took to Twitter to announce his move to a new team. “Never gets easier. Will truly never forget the memories in my short time playing for my hometown, and the great guys I met along the way.” He later tweeted that he was “excited to join such an amazing franchise in the Vernon Vipers.”

The deadline-day deal was the first in three seasons for Erhart, who, in the past, has stayed silent on the final trading day, choosing instead of make moves ahead of time. Erhart was busy in the weeks leading up to the deadline, too, acquiring defenceman Ryan Fraser-Lee from the Langley Rivermen on Jan. 9 in exchange for future considerations, while shipping blue-liner Eric Chevrier to the Alberta Junior Hockey League’s Brooks Bandits in order to make room for Fraser-Lee. Surrey is the third stop of the season for Fraser-Lee, a Michigan native. He started the season with the Pembroke Lumber Kings of the

Central Canada Hockey League before joining the Rivermen in late November. The six-foot-two Fraser-Lee is a defensive defenceman, and did not put up any points in 10 games with Langley. “Ryan is a big defenseman and a right-handed shot that will provide some more depth to our back end,” said Erhart. “We’re excited to have him, and we think it solidifies our defensive core going forward.” The deal comes just two weeks after the Eagles sent rookie blueliner Austen Bietenbeck to the Rivermen, and brought it 20-yearold d-man Troy Paterson from the Cowichan Valley Capitals.

Talk about making a good first impression. One day after being acquired from the Vernon Vipers at the BC Hockey League’s trade deadline, Surrey Eagles’ forward Adam Tambellini scored both goals for his new team in a 2-1 home win over the Penticton Vees Friday. And if that wasn’t enough, the encore was even more impressive, as Tambellini – a University of North Dakota recruit and NHL draft prospect – scored three goals and added two assists in a 10-2 spanking of the Langley Rivermen on Sunday afternoon at the Langley Events Centre. “The early returns are pretty good,” said Eagles head coach Matt Erhart, in what might be an early contender for understatement of the year. “Adam is a great talent, and putting him and Brady (Shaw) on the same line, that can create some problems for opposing defences.” The Eagles won their first of three games Wednesday, 6-2 at home to the Coquitlam Express. Surrey is now perched atop the Mainland Division with a 24-10-1-3 record. Against the Rivermen, the game was close in the early stages – Surrey went up 2-0 in the first period, but Langley clawed both goals back in the first five minutes of the second, at which point Erhart called a timeout to regroup. “I just told the guys to relax, and they went out and scored three goals in 10 minutes.” The Eagles were also red hot on the power play, going 5-for-8 with the man advantage. In addition to Tambellini’s five-point effort, Shaw had a goal and three assists and Michael Stenerson had four helpers.

Fleetwood edges Holy Cross in championship game

Dragons top Firefighter field Rick Kupchuk Black Press

Although they won twice by an average of 30 points earlier in the tournament, the Fleetwood Park Dragons felt they weren’t getting the respect they deserved at the Surrey Firefighters Goodwill Classic senior girls high school basketball tournament. Until Saturday afternoon at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary. In a rematch of last year’s final, the Dragons won their first Firefighter’s championship in eight years, upending a strong Holy Cross team 70-65 before roughly 200 spectators. “We knew we were going to beat them,” said Dragons coach Sharon Staples. “We were pissed off everyone was talking about them. Don’t get me wrong, they’re a good team, an extraordinary team. They are big, athletic, aggressive, smart and wellcoached. “But we were hungry.” The Holy Cross Crusaders were the team

Fleetwood Park also had an easy route to the Axe Division final, winning twice by a 135-75 aggregate. Simran Bir paced Fleetwood Park with 31 points, with Shilpa netting 25. The Dragons had three players recognized with awards.

Warriors win Beagle The White Rock Christian Academy Warriors earned their biggest win of the season Saturday, edging the No. 1-ranked Walnut Grove Gators 86-80 in double overtime in the championship game of the annual Legal Beagle senior boys basketball tournament in Coquitlam. The score was close throughout the game, with WRCA trailing by three at half time – and seven after three quarters – before mounting charge to tie the game in the fourth, sending it to overtime. In double overtime, WRCA went up by four, and after a handful of Walnut Grove fouls, extended their lead. WRCA’s Tyus Allen and Vartan Tanielan were both named firstteam all-stars, and Allen was also named MVP.

OBITUARIES

MILLER Yvonne O.

nee: Curry Yvonne Miller (nee Curry) born in New Westminster October 28, 1922, passed away January 7, 2013 in White Rock after a brief illness. Mom married her life-long partner, Ralph S. Miller of Burnaby, in 1948 and raised two children, Rosslynne and Scott. Yvonne worked Spencer’s lunch counter on Columbia St., New West as one of her first jobs. “Those were the days”, she would say, “Wrapping everything in brown paper and string”. Later she became a dental assistant to Dr. Pentland in the Block Tower, also in New West. Mom loved the water, not just the ocean. She was a team coach as well as a judge of synchronized swimming. Curling, gardening, playing pool and especially writing poetry were highlights of her life. Yvonne is survived by her sister Gwen (Cliff) Barker of Arizona; daughter, Rosslynne (Robert); granddaughter, Lauren (Greg) Brown; great-grandson Dylan; niece, Annmarie Gates (Eden); and three nephews: Paul and Barry Berrettoni, and Stephen Barker. Thanks to her special companion and many friends at Crescent Gardens for making Mom’s 10 years of residence a pleasant experience. Private family arrangements. If you wish to make a donation in Yvonne’s memory, please consider the Chilliwack BCSPCA, Box 142, Chilliwack V2P 6H7.
